As for copy protection on videos, I think if you take the signal from VHS out to Betamax in and Betamax out to VHS in and play the tape on VHS 1 and the recording tape on VHS 2 it gets rid of the shit (something to do with screen compression apparently...) Can anyone set me up withg some good pirate videos, the ones you were mentioning Cypher sounded cool, how can I get hold of them? nb. Details on the video enhancer would be good :-) I have never seen so many geeks in one place at that conference although there were some cool people there loike Emmanuelle Goldstein, Ropp, The Key, The Dude, live chat with Phiber Optic, Billsf (Weird Al :-) and other assorted from CCC, 2600, Hacktic etc. BTW...go to Amsterdam, it is the best place I have ever been in my life and I intend to move there one day, fuck england...

But thats there problem, a PBX will allow you to call anywhere in the world for free and allow you to start alliance teleconfs for free as well. When you call usually you would have to insert a pin digit pass code. To be allowed to dial out. This can range from 4-6 digits although I did come across one that was a 10 digit one and that was the phone number of the business but that was a total one off. bort ast ext uit ead again ail

MASTER ====== Never include the word "Master" any- where in your alias because most likely you are not. Master connotates some- thing that you have total control over which, of course, most of the dweebs that are modeming nowadays dont. Of course there will be exceptions and some of us will tend to be "masters" but the word "master" is so overused that its not feasible anymore so keep away from that. If, however, you wish to include the prefix "Mastur" some- where in your soon-to-be-famous alias, then that is solely up to you. DATA ==== Data...now that leaves a lot of doors open. It would seem that a lot of people would have chosen that by now, but apparently not. I guess it is because you can only make several alias out of that: Data D00d, Data Leech, Data Man, or Data Dweeb. Now, you tell me why you shouldnt use the word "Data" if you can help it. Even if you could think of a decent alias using the word "data", why would you want to be known as a chunk of info? Be my guest, use it, Im not your dad. DUDE, D00D ==== ==== I think its quite obvious why you should not use any of these in your new nickname. As Ive said before, most of you skinny wimps are NOT dudes nor do you resemble 1 in the slightest way. Im sure that a number of you more elite users are completely inherent of the "Dude" aspect but that would just cause people to question you, wondering whether or not youre a rodent. If you want to use "Dude" then I suggest you prove it rather quickly. "D00d", on the other hand, is quite self-explanatory. Let the rodents of the world use "D00D". That way we can identify them more easily and kick them off all of the Boards. A rodent is a rodent is a rodent and will always be one. Never let one trick you into be- lieving he's changed, especially if he used "D00D" in a previous name. DIGITAL ======= Well, I just consulted Websters Un- abridged Dictionary and their defini- tion of "Digital" is as follows: 1. Of, pertaining to, or resem- bling a digit, or digits. 2. Digitate. 3. Performed with the finger. 4. Using numbers that are digits to represent all the variables involved in calculation. 5. Showing the time, temp, etc. by a row of digits rather than by numbers on a dial Well, as far as #1 goes, I dont think that any of you would resemble a digit except the number one if you are skinny enough or the number eight if you are fat enough. If you resemble any other number then youd better get to the doctors fast. Now, number 2, ok, if you can visualize yourself "digitating" then have fun, be a fool. Number 3 kind of makes me want to laugh, and very hard at that. Well, if you pick "digital" for this purpose, then I suggest you be careful with the other half of your name. People may wonder just what it is you are actually "fingering". Then there's the 4th def- intion which is fairly feasible, seeing as computers and variables form a comprehensible interaction. As for #5, unless you plan to be a meteorolo- gist then youd better skip it. Dont knock it though, Ive seen some decent names with "digital" in them, Digital Madness being one of them. If you are so daring as to use it as a noun then you would be telling every- one that you wish to be thought of as: a finger, a key on an instrument, or the last joint in a spiders leg. Ive spent enough time on this one, so on we go. DISK ==== Everybody and his brother thinks of using the word "disk" somewhere in their alias, but thats so unoriginal. I mean, shit, thats the first thing you touch when you decide you want to use your computer. Well, some of you wierd people might touch something else, but Im speaking for the majority of us. If you didnt have a disk then your computer would be worthless as far as enjoyment would go, unless youll enjoy the money you get from selling it. Im sure therell be some "Masters" that disagree with that, but lets see how much fun you can have without disks. You get my point. Creativity stands a chance here. This is one of the few words though, that when utilized in an alias that is out of context, can still sound fine. For Example, "Slipped Disk" or "Disko Dude" are acceptable. BANDIT ====== One of the less imaginitive words to use. I fell under this category at one point. Coming from UMass (University of Massachusetts) I merely added the word "Bandit" on the end of my schools name, how ingenius. I did that mainly because I wanted to represent my school somehow and that would be the only way to use UMass without sounding too queer or ornate. Im not so sure how my newer alias is, but its not an ordinary every day word. As I was pointing out, "Bandit" is a word that people use to make you think that they are some mysterious pilferer, whether it concerns Pirating, Hacking, Phreaking, or anything connected with the greyer areas concerning legality. It seems, in my opinion, to be too easy to merely tack on "Bandit" at the end of your name. One name that has become somewhat noteable is "Apple Bandit". That mustve taken a lot of hard thought time and effort to create that alias. Think about what Ive just said if you were deciding whether or not to be a so-called "Bandit". CRASHER ======= Unfortunately, this touches upon the "Master" concept. If you cant crash much more than say, a D-dial, then it stands to reason that using any form of this word in your name would cause you to be frowned upon as some derivative of the word "geek". If all you can crash is A-Net then you should go back and consider the word "Bandit" because even a user in diapers knows how to do that and youd merely be "Bandit"ing someone elses techniques. If you have the know-how to crash many types of systems then youre still at a loss be- cause anyone that "Crashes" a friendly system is a true asshole in every respect of the word. Its ok, though, if the SysOp is a dickshit, then you can relax. If you plan on using this then you should be more specific so others will know just what type of things you crash (Disks, Autos, Windows etc). HACKER ====== Now, this is a great word to use in your name, if you hack that is. Hacking is considered by many of the ignorant people of this blasphemed world to be a threat to society. Granted we have some assholes out there who try to be Mr Wargames himself, but there are many "hackers" that do not fit that crude description. Many "Hackers" are only out to satisfy their curiosity and a lot of places could benefit from hackers if they (the places) would just quit being such paranoid assholes. In other words, "Hacker" (if you are) is quite a noble word to help enhance your alias. Just put some thought into it. One good example Ive seen is "The Ubiquitous Hacker" (famed Mender of Catfur 2.2, remember?) or the "Unknown Hacker". PHREAK, PHREEK ====== ====== I myself dont approve of these being used in part of a nickname, however, you may disagree. I never said you had to agree with anything in here. A good phreak is noticed by his actions, his manners, and his information. Putting the word "Phreak" or "Phreek" (which is a stupid spelling for a derivative) in your name makes it look like you are trying to call too much attention to it. If you wish to have a name that is relevant to phreaking then take some of your jargon and work with that, you know, something dealing with PBXs or WATS extenders, or some bogus company that you guys rip off day in and day out such as MCI, SPRINT or AT&T. If youre still at a loss then you should pick up your phone (if youve passed that stage), dial 0, and ask the nice lady on the other end what her name is and try that. RAD === The word "Rad" or any form of it in your name would tend to have people believe that you are some type of mad partying, incredibly popular person. Well, 90% of modemers know that 90% of modemers are probably scrawny little losers (if youre offended then eat some protein or twinkies, geek), 9.5% know that 9.5% are pretty damn cool people who have plenty of other things to do, but get a kick, and at times a challenge out of some of the things associated with modeming (theft, drugs, etc). The other .5% either just got their new Micromodem ][e for Christmas or are somewhere way out in left field picking their nose, so unless you are truly "Rad" then you might want to shop elsewhere.

No matter what computer you currently have, it won't be large enough or powerful enough for what you intend to do. And since you can't take the board down (unless you run a kiddy board that bounces up and down or runs only between the time school lets out and Daddy comes home) to do your own work, you will need another computer that you can ill afford. Next you have to find a BBS software package. This can take months, or you can write your own if you are so inclined. This can take years. Next, unless you are starting a kiddy board, you will need a phone line other than the one that you normally converse on. Depending on the Telco's mood, personnel, and the imminence of a strike, this could be done in as little as 2 weeks or it may never happen. Next, if you plan to run doors on your board, you must now spend long distance dollars in scouring other boards for evaluation and aquisition of these games. Naturally, your external file protocols don't come with your BBS software, so you have to again scour the countryside to find them. Utilities for your BBS are also an after thought and have to be obtained in a similar fashion. All of these external programs have to be registered after a while, since most stop working after a while or have an annoying feature about them until they are registered. All of the above items take money! and plenty of it! While we are on the subject of money, you must obtain a modem. Whatever modem you currently have will not be supported by the BBS software. This is some sort of unwritten law pertaining to writing communication software. Be prepared to open your wallet wide. No, your old Hayes 300 won't be good enough. People even hate 1200 baud these days, and the teenagers seem to have USR HST's these days and will complain vociferously if they can't access you at 14.4. Now you pick a name for your BBS. Whatever you choose will be ridiculed by 20% of those who see it. Another 50% will offer suggestions that are worse than the one you chose. The remaining 30% won't care. Next comes the wonderful task of installing your board. You have your machine. If you just bought it, that means formatting your hard disk, installing DOS, and ASNI drivers and Lord knows what else that you need for your board. If you already have the machine, you may as well go ahead and reformat it anyway. Something will guarantee that you will have to do this before you are done. The manual for the BBS software was most likely written by the author's 10 year old and was mimeographed. It got wet in the mail and smeared as well, so at least 30% of the manual will be physically useless. The rest is just procedurally useless. Next comes the fun task of deciding on your board structure. Who can do what and when can they do it. You must design your menus and opening screens. You have to get a pretty good stock of files, because no one will upload to you unless you have something there for them to take first. (not that it matters, I suppose, since even if you DO have files, they won't upload much anyway.) Next comes the security aspect. You can leave your board wide open so that users with the name of Benny Beanfart, Dr. Rape, Crack, Hack, File Attack, DR DEATH, etc can come in and do anything they like. Or, you can lock it up so tight that no one will call. There is no compromise on this. Next you must build events or prepare to live at your keyboard. A BBS HAS to be backed up. If you can't afford a high density backup medium such as tape or cartridge, you will spend many many hours per week flipping floppies. Events are designed to allow the sysop the luxury of having the board do routine tasks at odd hours by itself- Backups, purges and so on. These never work as they come and will have to be extensively modified by you. And since they generally only run at 3 AM, you will have to be awake to see just how they die and then try to fix it. Alright... the big day is here. Your board is ready, your modem is ready, Telco finally hooked you up, and then you start up. This is when after 2 days of no one calling, despite your ad in computer shopper and having placed your number on every other BBS in existance, you discover that the init strings for the modem are wrong. You discover this by calling yourself from a friends' home. This takes calls to the author of the software, the manufacturer of the modem and finally gets resolved by asking another sysop how to do it. Oh Boy! Now we're in business! During your first caller's visit, someone will hit a telephone pole and you will lose power. Naturally, since the board is new, you didn't back it up. The power surge when the electricity was restored roached your hard disk. Go back to low level formating... Finally, you're up and working. After about a week of gleefully seeing someone call, you will encounter Benny Beanfart or his ilk. He will leave public posts (always in caps and terribly mis-spelled) about what a really lousey board this is and that the sysop is a three eyed twit. You automaticly kill his account. But do you leave the message for the world to see? hmmm... dilemma number 1. Killing Benny does no good because he will be back with another account such as SYSOP SUX or some such thing. Eventually he will tire of the game and go away, but he has given ideas to 30 of his friends who will also visit you sometime in the next week. Then you will be visited by the "smart kid" who can tell you everything that's wrong with your machine, your software, etc. It doesn't matter that he's calling you on a Timex Sinclair. He knows more about your 386 than Intel. By now, your name has spread around. Probably, if you are in Worcester, the college kids have your name and number. If it is Spetember or January you are in trouble. You will probably be bombarded with file requests for commercial software. Some will assist you by uploading Lotus 123 ver 3 that has the copy-proofing removed. Whoever uploads this to you will then call Lotus Development Corp and tell them that you have a pirated version on your board (anonymously of course) If you imposed an upload/download ratio such that users must upload one file to get x numbers of files in return, then you will recieve 2K text files from them. They will download 2Mb of Gif files in return. By now, you are disappointed with your message bases. You perhaps have (if you are fortunate) two or three users who post messages outside of private mail. These three users are symbionts who, if one of their number does not call for 2 weeks, will not post because they miss their friend. Your message bases will starve. You set up many areas for messages, all carefully listed by topic. No public post will ever go into the area that it should be in. You will find a raunchy joke posted in the Bible topics area, technical questions asked in the political opinion area, and a message from one of Benny Beanfart's croney's in the technical section. You will next encounter the user who can't do anything right. He will make you feel terribly guilty that you are running this system that seems to rudely exclude him from enjoying it, because he cannot master the concept that M means Message, F means Files, D means download etc. He DOES however know how to leave comments to the sysop. At first you will be responsive to all the user complaints and will make a valiant effort to obtain the special game that was requested as a door. You discover it on a board in the Fiji Islands and the off peak call cost you 32 dollars to download it. You find then that the game was written for a board other than the BBS that you run. You search the countryside for a conversion interface. You find one in Omaha. add another 40 dollars in phone bills from the search.You discover now that the game must be registered with the author. This is another 69 dollars. You discovered this because after the game was installed, you called from a friend's house to test it. You find out that while the console looks wonderful while it is being run, the user sees a screen that informs him that the sysop is a cheap bum who didn't even bother to register this wonderful piece of software. Since the sysop is such a creep, why do you call there? Naturally, you register it so the annoyance screen goes away. After it has been on the board for 2 months you discover that only 1 person ever used it and he only went in there once, dropped carrier and hung up the board because you later discovered that this "wonderful" piece of software doesn't monitor carrier. Do you now register Watchdog so this won't happen again or do you just scrap the game? The work load is getting heavy on the board. Wow! It takes at least 2 hours per day to stay up with things. Answering mail, hunting down Benny Beanfart's latest account, changing screens, moving messages back to the areas that they truely belong in, adding new things, paying Telco, arguing with your spouse, etc. You decide that perhaps it's time to enlist some help in the form of an assistant sysop. This is a mistake. The assistant will pay little attention to the needs of the board, but WILL experiment with things like remote drop to dos. hehehehe! I think this needs little elaboration. By now, you are conversant with the many user complaints. WHY aren't you around to answer the sysop page at 2:45 AM? Why does your message editor use A for abort instead of Q for quit? How come there aren't any nice ANSI screens? How come these crummy ANSI screens slow down the board? Why can't I stay online for 3 hours at a time? Why can't my C64 see your graphics.. It must be your crummy board! I never post messages because no one else ever does! What do you mean you killed my upload of Dbase IV? I did upload something a year ago.. so how come I can't download more than 100 files now? How come my friend has access level 50 and I only have level 40? Boy.. do you have a bad attitude! I think the Silicon Sarcophagus is 100 times better than this board! This is a free country.. I can say ANYTHING I want in public messages. What are you.. Hitler or something? How come nobody ever send me mail? I used a bit editor on Procomm and now it won't work.. tell me how to fix it. That GIF file I downloaded didn't run... this stinks... you really must be a lousey sysop if you don't check to see that it would work for me. Then you will discover the wonders of sysop to user interactive chat. You will find this to be a most opportune time to get things done. Since the majority of users who will page you into chat type at about .000001 baud, you can have a conversation with the user and get things done like mowing the lawn, making a three course meal, and cleaning out the garage before the user has stated his request. Generally, the chat request was for something such as How do I get out of a file listing or something similar that is well covered in the user manual that you have both as a file for downloading and as a bulletin for online reading. One admonition is to not get angry about carrier drop by the user. Remember that the user is calling you through the telco. Chances are that no matter how malicious or inept the user may be, the telco probably did it anyway. Next comes BBS software upgrade time! Such fun! You will find that the author no longer supports your version. You have to upgrade. This means once again opening your wallet. The new version will not have the same reserved file names, nor will the file structures be the same. The author generously supplies you with a conversion program. This program is designed to assist you in making all the little changes needed to perform the upgrade. It will automatically convert your file names and structures. There are two type of these programs. One that requires that you have 5Mb more free space than you do, and the other that will abort half way through the conversion because of a bad disk sector read and didn't have a corresponding error trap. Of the two, the latter is the more catastrophic, because now your data can't be read by either version of the software. Since you successfully upgraded your software, you now discover what the word Beta Site really means.. Now since you've done so well to this point, it's time for the hardware to find something to compensate for all this good effort. Generally, the hard drive controller is the most likely device to make this decision to fail. It will not however abruptly die. It will instead, gradually mis-write to disk over a period of several days before deciding not to work at all anymore. This has the advantage that your last backups will be no good at all once you replace the controller and reformat the drive. hehehe! Still want to be a sysop?

Sitting in front of my computer.. reading those crappy messages being circulating, with all too many of them hitting home hard. And I thought, for I know what its like to be on the top, and on the bottom. Everyone who makes it to the top goes through the period of learning. I decided, it was time. Time to unmask the glory and mystery of the secret boards, the elite sections, and the secret societies. To give the normal modeming crowd a look at the top, a look at the society known to all but themselves as... The AE Studs... First of all, Studs feel that if you aren't a part of their group, that you don't have 80 cols. They feel it's necessary to format it for those poor buggers still using 40 cols. When it's usually them! The studs who first got he //+ and never bothered to update it. The new society bothers them. The nw group with sleek Promethius Modems. 'If it can fit into a slot in your computer, its a geek machine.' They say trying to comfort themselves as they o out and buy the expensive, glittering Hayes modems. Look at how nice this modem works, how can anyone settle for less? They feel so insecure about their position in the modem society that they booze it up, trying to show that modeming isn't th only thing in their lives. How they got up there without putting modeming first, is beyond me. They call the secret society boards, and with secret passwords, they log in. To what? They don't tell. But if you venture there, you find a great deal of deadbeats. All enslaved to crackin programs and solving adventures. A great many of them DO stay up Saturday nights, but not to booze it up... To slve that one last mystery, to overcome hat password, to get past that security. That is the kind that lives beyond the silver pirate flags Of course, not all are that way. In deed, there are the ones that don't belong there. But happened to know a real hacker and got in through him. Now what? They learn from the best.. they get a copy of COPY II PLUS and NOW they can disk edit! They gt the newest games, the latest cheats. But they don't contriute! They sally forth with this knowledge and taunt those they think below them, those who can't get into the boards. It hasn't evencrossed their inferior minds that people might NOT WANT TO GET THERE. So they pass around the programs, sometimes even daring to put their name on it. And replace the faithful pirate that brings it home for all of us. And then they boast and strut, but feel afraid. Tey feel afraid that someone will penetrate their society and see what is there. Smeone that might tell everyone what really goes on at the top. It's the SAME thing. Yes, they use GBBS, yes, they still scream and rag on each other. Worse than a new user ever would. They see that, and it threatens them.. So they begin the long, grueling process of writing a text file, and putting together steriotypes. And mashing all the things that an unexperianced user does. It intimidates the crap out of them right? You fear needlessly. For where do they get most of the ideas? Correct, from their own experiance. They remember when they first got a modem, when Krakowitz DID exist, and he laughed at them. They posted the messages hardly knowing how, saying 'Talk to me' and got hate mail, and got crank calls made to their place, but now they're there. And they want their revenge. So they take it out on those who can't defend themselves. The unexperianced,the new in the area. Those cowards.. Building themselves up with false pride, protecting their egos with lies. When all it wouldtake to collapse it is a single new user coming in, and posting a painful memory awakining, 'Hey everyone, I'm kinda new around here...' message.

Scores of people raided, many arrested, some in jail, bulletin boards seized, the casualties are many. Today it is almost impossible to find any hack/phreak board, let alone a decent one. Everyone is laying low, information is scarce. When asked almost everyone is "retired". Our world is on hold, and has been on hold for what seems like an eternity. The Phrack trials, Operation Sun Devil, and a dozen other events have struck a major blow against our way of life, and caused paralysis. Just like in the real world, the hack/phreak world is experiencing a recession of its own. -Masked Avocado Warning: non-active user accounts are automatically deleted after 90 days.
