-=- United Phreaker's Incorporated Magazine -=- Volume Two, Issue Seven, File 1 of 19 Released Date December 31, 1992 Hello, ... Hello? yes we are still around, before anything else I would like to apologize for the incredible time it took us to produce this issue. As a result of the tremendous time between issue number six, and this issue, some of the articles in the UPi Underground Newsline may presently be quite ancient. We have no real excuse for this except that we had too many late night conferences with all our friends in australia. Right Anthony? However, let me now bring you up to date on what has been happening with the group. The Darkman, formerly NukE prezident applied to UPi the day of his retirement from nuke, he was accepted into the group. You will also see some other new names in the UPi members list. UPi magazine can now also be downloaded off five different anonymous FTP sites. When you venture further down the page you will come accross these addresses. The article from Black Flag on how to build the frequency modulator that was previously promised to be in this issue, will regretfully not be appearing. Black Flag apparrently did build a working modulator however once he was finished he never wrote the article!

(Editor's Note: The author of this articel wishes to stay anonymous.) Primary and High Explosives: Explosives are substances which go through rapid decomposition, and simultaneous release of energy, with some upon the application of heat but usually upon the application of a shockwave, (a sudden localized increase in mechanical pressure). Many High Explosives if ignited by flame will just burn, and a couple are not flammable at all. A stick of dynamite, if lit by a match will merely burn, but if placed on a metal anvil and struck with a hammer or blasted with a blasting cap, it will explode. The reaction is transmitted within the explosive, self-propagated by the pressure shockwave, not by flame. Explosives will detonate without any confinement, but are usually put into some sort of container to hold them in place for the shockwave, otherwise the first part of the explosion would just blow away the remainder of the explosive like dust in a wind storm, rather than detonating it. Other substances may be added to the explosive to increase or decrease its sensitivity to detonation, or to enhance its power. Detonating Cord, also called Fuze, (with a Z,) is a long tube (that looks like heavy wire,) that contains a Primary or High Explosive. It is used to transmit an explosive shockwave from the point of its detonation to the major explosive it in turn is to detonate. This is in contrast to Fuse, (with an S,) which is used to transmit flame. Detonating Cord is used professionally with explosives because of its much higher reliability in comparison with Fuse. Detonating Cord may occasionally be used to directly detonate a mass of High Explosive, though it is usually used to detonate a Blasting Cap of Primary Explosive with then detonates the High Explosive. Primary Explosive, (also known as Initiating Explosives,) are especially sensitive to shock, heat, flame and friction. Being so sensitive, they are extremely dangerous. They are sometimes more powerful than the High Explosives, and are typically more expensive to manufacture in quantity. Blasting Caps are mainly composed of Primary Explosives. Primary Explosives are used to convert the flame of a fuse or squib, or the shockwave of Detonating Cord into a very powerful shockwave to explode a mass of High Explosive. High Explosives are chemical compounds or mixtures similar in some ways to the Primary Explosives, but they are very much less sensitive to detonation. In small quantities most will just gently burn. For reliable detonation they should be exploded by a Primary Explosive (Blasting Cap). They are very much safer to handle, (from an explosion standpoint,) than the Primaries, and are usually much less expensive to manufacture in quantity. From a view to safety, High Explosives should make up the vast majority of any (but the smallest) explosive device you may decide to experiment with. Primary Explosives HMTD (Hexamethylenetriperoxidediamine) Materials Needed: 2 Containers (the smaller one should be glass) Hydrogen Peroxide Solution (3% or stronger -6% to 15% are best) Citric Acid Hexamethylenetetramine (see chemical synthesis section) Method: -Place a beaker or glass jar containing 60 ml (2 fluid ounces) of 6% Hydrogen Peroxide solution (twice as much if it is 3%) into a larger jar, containing crushed ice and a little water to cool the inner jar -Add 2 teaspoons (4 g) of Hexamethylenetetramine (Hexamine), and stir until dissolved -Add 3 teaspoons (6 g) of Citric Acid and stir until dissolved. -Do not add any more ice to the outside container. Allow the ice to melt. -Let the mixture sit for 24 hours and a white precipitate will have formed on the bottom of the jar. Pour this mixture through a filter paper and the white material will be left on the paper. Pour water through the filter to wash this white material. Throw away the liquid. Dry the white powder which is HMDT, Primary Explosive. This material will explode from a sharp blow or if quickly heated above 200xC (392xF). If heated over 70xC (158xF) for periods of time or if boiled in water it will harmlessly decompose. It is very flammable. HMTD is somewhat corrosive and is toxic. It is insoluble in water or alcohol. DDNP DDNP, diazodinitrophenol, is a primary explosive. It is extensively used in commercial blasting caps that are initiated by black powder safety fuse. It is superior to mercury fulminate in stability but is not as stable as lead azide. DDNP is desensitized by immersion in water. In Blasting Caps it can be used with a booster explosive such as RDX or Picric Acid (see the High Explosives section) Materials Needed: Picric Acid (see the High Explosives section) Sulfur Lye (Sodium Hydroxide) Sulfuric Acid, diluted Potassium Nitrite Water 2 Pyrex beakers Stirring Rod (glass or wood) Method: -In one of the beakers, mix 0.5 g of lye with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of warm water. Dissolve 1 teaspoon (3.0 g) of Picric Acid in the water-lye solution. -Place 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) of water in the other beaker. Add 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 g) of sulfur and 1/3 teaspoon (2.5 g) of lye to the water. Boil this second solution over heat until the colour turns dark red. Remove from the heat and allow this solution to cool. -In three portions, add this sulfur-lye solution to the Picric Acid- Lye solution; stir while pouring. Allow the new mixture to cool. -Filter the mixture through a paper towel into a container. Small red particles will collect on the paper. Discard the liquid -Dissolve the red particles in 1/4 cup (60 ml) of boiling water. Remove and filter the mixture through a paper towel (or filter paper) but this time discard the particles left on the paper and save the liquid. -Using an glass eyedropper, slowly add the sulfuric acid to the filtered solution until it turns orange-brown. Add 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 g) more of sulfuric acid to the solution. Allow the solution to cool to room temperature. -In a separate container, dissolve 1/4 teaspoon (1.8 g) of Potassium Nitrite, in 1/3 cup (80 ml) of water. Add this solution, while stirring, to the orange-brown solution. Allow the mixture to stand for 10 minutes. The mixture will turn light brown. [CAUTION: AT THIS POINT THE MIXTURE IS A PRIMARY EXPLOSIVE. KEEP IT AWAY FROM FLAME.] -Filter the mixture through a paper towel or filter paper. Wash the particles left on the paper with 4 teaspoons (20 ml) of water. -Allow the particles to dry (approximately 16 hours) [CAUTION: EXPLOSIVE IS SHOCK AND FLAME SENSITIVE. STORE THE EXPLOSIVE IN A CAPPED CONTAINER.] Lead Picrate Material Needed: Picric Acid (See the High Explosives preparation section) Litharge (See the chemical synthesis section) Methyl Hydrate (Methanol) Method: -Weigh out typically 2 g of Picric Acid and 2 g of Lead Monoxide -Add the Picric Acid to 2 teaspoons (10 ml) of methanol in a container and stir -Add the lead monoxide -Continue stirring and allow the methanol to evaporate. NOTE: The mixture will suddenly thicken -Carefully break up this mixture and stir occasionally until a powder is formed (a few lumps will remain). -Remove and spread out to air dry Lead Picrate is easily detonated by shock, spark or heat. Tetramminecopper (II) Chlorate Materials Needed: Sodium Chlorate (see chemical synthesis section) Copper Sulfate Ammonium Hydroxide (Household ammonia) Alcohol (Ethanol/Ethyl Alcohol 93% or better purity) Method: -Measure 1/3 teaspoons (2.5 g) of Sodium Chlorate in a wide mouth bottle and ass 10 teaspoons of the alcohol - Add 1 teaspoon (4 g) of Coper Sulfate and stir the mixture just under the boiling point for 30 minutes (heat can be supplied by a pan of hot water). The mixture will change colour. CAUTION: KEEP THE SOLUTION AWAY FROM FLAME -Keep the volume of the solution constant by adding additional alcohol about every 10 minutes. Remove solution and let cool. Filter through folded paper towels or filter paper into another wide mouth bottle or beaker. Keep the liquid. -Add 1 cup (250 ml) of ammonia to a narrow mouth bottle, (pop bottle, or a flask). Place tubing so that it extends about 4 cm inside the bottle, then seal the tubing to the bottle with wax (clay, gum, etc). -Place the other end of the tubing into the beaker (or wide mouthed bottle from the earlier step. Heat the sealed bottle containing the ammonia in a pan of hot water (not boiling) for about 10 minutes. -Bubble ammonia gas through the first solution (in the beaker) until the colour of the solution changes from a light green to a dark blue (approximately 10 minutes) and continue bubbling for another 10 minutes. CAUTION: AT THIS POINT THE SOLUTION CONTAINS A PRIMARY EXPLOSIVE. KEEP IT AWAY FROM FLAME. -Reduce the volume of the solution to about 1/3 of its original volume by evaporating it in the air or a stream of air. You may wish to speed up the evaporation by pouring the solution into a flat glass casserole pan. -Filter the solution through a paper coffee filter and wash the crystals that remain in the paper with 1 teaspoon of alcohol and set the crystals aside to dry (approximately 16 hours) CAUTION: THIS EXPLOSIVE IS SHOCK AND FLAME SENSITIVE. STORE IN A CAPPED CONTAINER. HIGH EXPLOSIVES: PICRIC ACID Materials Needed: Aspirin (20 tablets, preferably the no-name A.S.A. tablets) Alcohol (Ethanol/Ethyl Alcohol 93% pure or better) Concentrated Sulphuric Acid Potassium Nitrate (Saltpetre) Method: -Crush 20 tablets of aspirin in a glass container and work into a paste with a teaspoon or water. -Add approximately 1/3 to 1/2 cup (100 ml) of alcohol with stirring and filter through filter paper into another glass container -Discard the solid left on the paper and pour the liquid from the container into a flat dish or glass casserole pan. Let the alcohol and water evaporate, leaving a white powder. -Take some sulfuric acid and boil it in a beaker or heat resistant Pyrex container until the fumes change to white fumes and immediately remove the heat at this point. This boils off the water leaving you with Concentrated Sulfuric Acid. -Add the white powder to 1/3 cup (80 ml) of concentrated Sulfuric Acid in a glass jar -Heat the jar in a simmering hot water bath for 15 minutes and remove. -Stir; the solution will gradually turn to a yellow-orange colour. -Add 3 level teaspoons (15 g) of Potassium Nitrate in three portions with vigorous stirring. The solution will turn red, and then back to a yellow-orange colour. -Allow the solution to cool to room temperature while stirring occasionally. -Slowly pour the solution, while stirring, into 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) of cold water and allow to sit for a few minutes. -Filter the solution through filter paper into a glass container. Light Yellow particles will collect on the paper. This is Picric Acid. It might take considerable time to filter. -Let the filter paper and the Picric acid dry. It may take 16 hours or more, (or you can keep it at 70-90xC/160-200xF for two hours). The yield should be about 4 grams of Picric Acid. Picric acid has about the same power as TNT. RDX (Cyclonite) Materials Needed: Concentrated Nitric Acid (90 to 100% concentration) Hexamethylenetetramine (see the Chemical Synthesis section) a 1000 ml (1 Litre, 5 cup) beaker or glass coffee pot an ice water bath (large enough to hold the beaker listed above) a hot water bath (large enough to hold the beaker listed above) Method: -Prepare the large ice water bath. 1/2 cup (125 ml) of Concentrated Nitric Acid are cooled, if necessary, to 20xC (68xF) in the beaker or glass coffee pot. 1 1/2 ounces (40 g) of Hexamethylenetetramine are slowly added over 15 minutes, while stirring and carefully watching the temperature. You will soak the beaker in the ice water bath to keep the temperature of the Nitric Acid between 20xC and 30xC (68xF to 86xF). You will need a glass thermometer to keep track of the temperature. The glass thermometer may also be used to stir the solution. When all of the Hexamine has been dissolved, place your beaker in the hot water bath, to heat up the Nitric Acid to 55xC (131xF). Let this hot water bath and beaker of chemicals naturally cool to within 10xC (18xF) of room temperature. Add 2 to 3 cups (500 to 750 ml) of cold water to the beaker of chemicals. White particles will begin to appear in the solution. Filter off the liquid and wash the white powder several times with cold water. (If you have Acid/Base Indicator Paper, continue washing the RDX until the water registers a neutral pH of about 7). Discard the liquid. This white powder is RDX High Explosive. RDX will detonate from very strong impact. It will not detonate, even if heated to 360xC (680xF). It is very poisonous. It is not soluble in water but 1 part RDX will dissolve in 10 parts Acetone. RDX is 1+ times as powerful as TNT. Plastic Explosive made from RDX Method: Thoroughly mix 10 parts by weight of motor oil to 90 parts dry RDX, to make a variation of C-4 (Military) Plastic Explosive. Chemical Synthesis and Supplies Alcohol (Ethanol, Ethyl Alcohol): is available in 93% concentration from all Pharma Plus Drug stores (make sure you are getting the ethyl alcohol and NOT the isopropyl alcohol which is usually a 70% concentration. It is sometimes labelled as rubbing alcohol but make sure you are getting the correct type of alcohol.) Ammonia (Household Ammonia, Ammonia Water, Ammonium Hydroxide): is available at any grocery store Citric Acid: a white powder used in food preservation, available from drug stores and some food stores Copper Sulfate: Is available from school chemistry labs, hobby or science shops for plating items with copper, and at some farm and garden suppliers as an anti-fungicide. Formaldehyde: Farm and Gardening Suppliers as an anti-fungicide for seeds Hexamethylemetetramine (Hexamine): is an easily produced substance used in the manufacture of HMTD (primary explosive) and RDX (high explosive). This should be manufactured outside because of the smell. Add 1 volume of Formaldehyde (37% solution typically,) to 4 volumes of Household Ammonia. Mix thoroughly and let this smelly pair evaporate. You might want to do this in a flat container (like a glass casserole pan) to speed things up. You may also wish to put this container into a hot water bath to speed things up further. After several days of evaporation, you will be left with a fairly dry powder, which is Hexamethylenetetramine. Hydrogen Peroxide (Hair Bleach): A clear liquid, 3 to 6% solutions are available from drug stores, up to 15% concentrations are available from beauty supply shops. Lead Monoxide (Litharge): Is used in the manufacture of Lead Picrate primary explosive. To make this material see Potassium Nitrite. Lye (Sodium Hydroxide): Is available at most hardware stores Methyl Hydrate (Wood Alcohol, Methanol, Methyl Alcohol): Available at Hardware stores (it is poisonous, DO NOT DRINK IT) Nitric Acid: A Clear or Yellowish liquid, extremely corrosive, available from school chemistry labs, (can easily be stolen from the University of Toronto Chemistry building, Wallberg Building, 184 College Street, the basement labs and supply rooms are your best bet,) or you can manufacture as follows: Concentrated (95 to 100%) Nitric Acid may be produced from Concentrated Sulfuric Acid and Potassium Nitrate (Saltpetre). Add 100 g. (about 1+ volumes) of Potassium Nitrate to 35 ml (or 1 volume) of Concentrated Sulfuric Acid. If this mixture is gently heated it will boil off the Nitric Acid as fumes which can be condensed back into Concentrated Nitric Acid. Your final volume of Concentrated Nitric Acid should be about the same as the original volume of Concentrated Sulfuric Acid. Beware: Nitric Acid and its fumes are toxic and extremely corrosive. They will not affect Glass or Teflon but will eat through most other materials, including skin. Try to do these procedures out-of-doors. Many chemistry texts books give further information on the equipment needed to distil Nitric Acid. Potassium Nitrate (Saltpetre): Is available at most drug stores Potassium Nitrite: Used in the manufacture of DDNP primary explosive This can be manufactured (along with litharge/lead monoxide at the same time as needed for lead picrate) as follows: Materials needed: Lead metal (available as lead shot for rifle shot refills, or in hobby shops for stained glass work) Potassium Nitrate (Saltpetre) Methyl Hydrate Iron Pipe Method: -Mix 3 parts by weight of Lead with 1 part by weight Potassium Nitrate. Place the mixture in the iron pipe and heat in a hot bed of coals or by a blow torch for an hour -remove the container and allow to cool. Chip out the yellow solid with a screwdriver, put into a jar and add 1/2 cup (120 ml) of Methyl Hydrate, giving an orange-brown creamy colour. -Heat the container with the mixture in a hot water bath until it reacts giving a darker colour. -Filter the mixture through filter paper -The solid left on the paper is Lead Monoxide (Litharge). Take the paper and place it over a different (and empty) glass container wash it through the paper twice, using 1/2 cup (120 ml) of hot water each time, then air dry this Lead monoxide before using it to prepare Lead Picrate. -Place the jar with the original liquid (not the washing water) in a hot water bath until the Methyl Hydrate has evaporated. The remaining snowy white sludge is water and Potassium Nitrite. Keep this in a closed container as it has a tendency to absorb additional moisture from the air. Use this material in the manufacture of DDNP. Sodium Chlorate: An oxidizer for incendiaries, rocket propellants, and in the manufacture of Tetramminecopper Chlorate explosive. It can be obtained from school or manufactured as follows: Materials Needed: Two Carbon Rods Salt Water Sulfuric Acid (Diluted) 12 volt car battery charger (or a car battery while engine is running) Method: -Mix 1/2 cup of salt with 3 cups (3 litres) of water in a glass container. -Add 2 teaspoons of battery acid to the solution and stir vigorously for 5 minutes. -Connect the two carbon rods using heavy wires to the 12 volt power source. Make sure the two rods stay 4 to 5 cm (1+ to 2 inches) apart at all times. DO NOT ALLOW THE RODS TO SHORT OUT! -Submerge 5 to 15cm (2 to 6 inches) of length on the rods into the solution. Do not allow the copper wires to touch the solution. -Apply power for two hours then stop for two hours, then repeat for two days. -Filter this solution through filter paper and throw out the solid material captured in the filter paper. -Take the solution and place it in a flat pan and allow the water to evaporate. (Placing the pan in a hot water bath can dramatically speed up the evaporation.) The powder that remains is Sodium Nitrate. Sodium Nitrite: Can be used instead of Potassium Nitrite in the manufacture of DDNP primary explosive. It can be manufactured by heating Sodium Nitrate in a pyrex test tube or beaker over a flame for 10 to 15 minutes. It will give off oxygen, and Sodium Nitrite will remain. (Do not use this method for Potassium Nitrate as it will NOT give you Potassium Nitrite, but instead Potassium oxide.) Sulfuric Acid: can be bought from Jeweller, Chemical or Metal Plating Suppliers and is usually 98 to 100% pure (Concentrated). Car Battery Acid is available from Automotive Supply Shops (but not Canadian Tire,) and is only 40% Sulfuric acid and 60% water. Gently boil this in a Pyrex glass container, such as a beaker or a glass pyrex coffee pot, until the temperature rises above 120xC (248xF) and/or white fumes start to be given off. Let it cool and store it in its original glass container. This is now Concentrated Sulfuric Acid and is 98 to 100% pure. Filter Paper: You can get real filter paper from school, or use Paper Coffee filters available at any grocery store. You may also use a few layers of paper towelling but this usually doesn't filter very well. Blow up a Bank or school today . . . HAVE PHUN! SOME MORE PHUN INFORMATION TO USE ON YOUR PARENTS!

Many of the satirical text files have been utter bullshit and just for a laugh. But I have come up with a few ideas of things you can do to aggravate your neighbourhood geeks, ex- girlfriends, etc. Most of these I have tried and all of them are realistic. This file is written for those who are not experienced in certain types of phreaking such as canning therefor if you can't figure this stuff out don't even bother reading UPi again. Of course this is just for information purposes and I do not support you doing this stuff in any shape, way or form. Phone Bills ------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ This would be best done when the parents are on vacation, or late at night to reduce being caught ------------------------------------------------------------ Step 1 Make a beige box. For those illiterates out there a beige box is just a handset basically. You can either steal one from a Bell van or just go to a Biway and buy the cheapest phone you can find that has a dialer on the handset (where you speak into). With that cheap phone cut off the wires connecting the handset to the rest of the phone and connect alligator clips to the end (Any further information can be found in countless Beige Box text files on a H/P/A/C/V board near you). One thing you might want to look for is a phone that lights up the dialer pad to a certain degree (reduces the need for a flashlight). There is one alternative. You can buy at Radio Shack a thing that emits DTMF through it. I bought a watch that did the same thing. This mean you can use any type of handset even without a dialer but hanging up will be made more difficult. You will have to disconnect the alligator clips or make a dift box. Anyways as I said before you can find more on beige boxing elsewhere. Step 2 Do a quick look over the victims house (exterior) during the day and locate his bell box (Make sure you have indeed found the bell box and not his electric meter or something). Now go back home and return at nightfall. Now move over to the box and hit it upwards (like hit the bottom of it on the edges). Now it will lift up and you will see a minimum of 2 wires (if this guy actually has a damn phone!). So you will have to fool around with the negative and positive clips on the wire but soon you will get either a dial tone or someone speaking. If someone is speaking just listen in (But if the person starts wandering where the noises of the cars are coming from hangup if you want to play it safe). If you get a dial tone continue to step 3. Step 3 Now the fun starts. If you want to be bland call up one of your LD friends(preferably in Australia or Europe) and just talk. This will give the guy a might big phone bill but with a certain degree of persuasion they will be able to get bell to drop the bill. Plus from recent news Bell has figured out a way to match numbers and shit so if you thing your own line might be under surveillance it isn't a good idea to call everyone you do on your own line. So fuck that and go onto step 4. Step 4 The best way to get there parents after them is by calling up Gay/Lesbian lines (1-800-Not-STR8 or whatever they are). Imagine there parents faces . It sure will take them a hell of persuasion. Of course you don't want to listen to this shit (Unless you are a flaming homosexual) so just keep the line open all night (if you are smart you can figure it out (and DON'T leave your handset). Step 5 Ordering features to ones phone has always been an interesting and fun thing to do. I recently got a book in the mail that showed all of the features that were offered. There are presently 10 or 11 features offered by Mother Bell and if you ordered all of them it would end up being anywhere from 30$-45$ a month (so if they are on holiday or something it will rack up). But that isn't the purpose of it since it is much easier to create a huge phone bill by starting up a conference (In Canada call the operator then ask for the tele-conference operator). The reason for this is to totally fuck them up. In general it will take a few days for Bell to set it up if that makes a difference to you. (Oh BTW don't call the operator to get services. I believe you must call Customer Service (look on your own phone bill on in the phone book for the number in your area)). After all is set up they won't be able to figure out what button does what on there phone any more. And if possible find out what features they have already (generally easy from your handset). There are many ways to use your beige box to screw people up but I figure chances are if you don't have one already you won't make one so the rest of the file is dedicated to those who don't know a thing about anything. Legal Trouble -------------------- Legal trouble is always the best way to screw your neighbourhood geek. Step 1 Go find yourself a credit card number (It isn't difficult if you leave close to a business/commercial district). If you can't figure out how to get a hold of a number read a text file on Trashing. Step 2 This is quite an awkward approach to carding but order to the guys house tonnes of stuff. Like everything the is possible to card. The more you card to his house the better. The best part about this is if the guy keeps the shit and gets nailed he can't say he didn't do it because he has the stuff in his house! And if the guy doesn't get nailed you can always steel it from him later. Step 3 Back to the beige box. Use it to call up RCMP/FBI/CIA/SCOTLAND YARD/RCMP whatever. Any legal organization. Then use your imagination. These numbers are a little harder to get a hold of but if all else fails there is always the local police. There are two things to watch for. Don't do any false calls. That will require a large amount of police/firemen. By doing this you might end up killing people who actually need it. But if you like killing innocent people go ahead. And the second thing is to make sure you get the hell out of there quickly. It would be a real pain if the cops come and you are seen on the side of the house with a phone in your hand. If you are a little horny you can always call up the operator and have a chat with her . Step 4 There is another way to get back at someone that wouldn't necessary bring them legal trouble but I suppose it could if you did it properly. What one does is order food to someone's house. I mean not a little but a lot. Like 3 pizza's from one place. Chinese from another, etc. The best way to do this is just call from a Pay Phone (Make sure that it will except incoming calls because some of the newer ones don't). Give them the Pay Phone number as call back. Now stick around for a few minutes incase they need to call back for verification (Don't stay for more the 5 minutes). Now go to your victim's house (The best person to do this to is the person across the street to your house since you can sit in the comfort of your living home to watch). This is one of the most humorous things I have done so far so if you are a little risk taker go for it. Otherwise continue to live you boring life. Scaring the shit out of people ------------------------------------------- Anyone can do a normal prank/threading call as anyone in a UPi run conference will have found out. The real trick is to scare the shit out of them. One way to do this is to connect your beige box (I think I should have dedicated this file to 101 things you can do with your beige box) to your enemy's phone line and while they are on the line just break into it and either threaten them (say you are in the house or something) or get a tape recording of some tonnes and make yourself seem like the operator and tell them you have an urgent phone call on the line. Now pass the handset to you friend and get him to act like a doctor and bullshit about there parents being killed in a car crash or something . Now of course they will believe who you say you are if you interrupt there call because 99% of the people out there don't even know they have an exterior telephone box. Ofcourse having a friend with you while doing all of this adds to the humour/excitement. However if you are a loner and need something to do on a Friday night there you go. I gave you something that will keep you busy for a few weekends. Vandalism ---------- There are many ways to vandalize someones property. But if you want to mix both vandalism with some pyrotechnics then here is something for you. I found this out by accident basically (Just felt like sticking some extra things into a bomb. Anyways included is a plan of the suggested layout for the bomb. I have found the best thing to use is a piece of PVC pipe (You can vary the length depending on the effect you want). Drill a hole the size of your fuse around the centre of the pipe). On one end stick a PVC cap and stuff some tissue paper (or newspaper which ever is easier to obtain). You only need a little bit of this and it is just to absorb a bit of the pressure and to prevent the powder from going where you don't want it to. For the powder you can use whatever you want. If you can't get ahold of anything one easy method of obtaining explosive powder is hardware stores sell shells for nail guns. There are many kinds depending on the force that one would want to drive the nail in (and depending on the material you stick it in). So if you are going use this method experiment with the burning rates,etc. The best is to stick the fastest burning near the wick if you want it to explode quickly). Anyways the problem with this method is that they are EXPENSIVE. Is you buy the ones in the shell just compress one end (the one that opens) slightly and the pry it open. This is a VERY stupid thing to do because enough friction can occur for it to ignite. So be careful if you do it. There are also ones that come in strips and have little round tablets of gunpowder. If you get this type you will have to crush them. Stick some time a fuse in a hole that you made in the centre of the tube (Atleast one inch in). Once you fill the tube up with fuel oxidizer use a pencil or something of that nature to pack it. Now fill the other end with blue chalk (This is used in chalk lines for construction and can be bought at a hardware store in 2 colours Blue and Red) If you combine the colours somehow i am sure you can do something interesting but I have yet to try 2 colours. Anyways squirt some of this powder on the other end and pack it once again. Now close this end up with some tape (Any type will be fine. Once again experiment since it will change the type of explosion you get) Here is what the finished product will look like Plastic Cap Tape 3 33 / ZDDDDDDDDBDDDDDDAADDDDDDDDDDBDDDDDDD? 3 Tissue Blue 3 3 Paper 3 Gun powder 3 Chalk 3 3 3 @DDDDDDDDADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDADDDDDDDY That is it for now. If you have any comments/suggestions for this column of UPi please E-mail me on The Cathedral or through any other UPi member. Look in next's month issue of UPi for The Lighter Side. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -=- United Phreaker's Incorporated Magazine -=- Volume Two, Issue Seven, File 4 of 19 --An introduction to the Trace Utility of the Virtual Memory Operating System-- by Opticon ...now why an "introduction" to a utility which is available on every VMS? Simply because you can use it ONLY if you have already system access.. So I assume that it won't be on every hacker's capability to do so. Of course any "intruder" can spend sometime on the System Manuals or use the on-line help but getting the manuals is really difficult for most people and, on the other hand, using help for a matter like that is not the best and most secure way to do it. Furthermore I have found A LOT of people not knowning even it's excistence. Please allow me here to copy someone elses words; " HOW TO BUILD AND USE A MAGENTA BOX. Designed and Written by Street Fighter. First of all I named this the Magenta Box because all of the fags that made boxes, whose only purpose is adding a hold button to your phone, used all of the fucking colors. I can afford a fucking piece of shit Radio Shack 2-line phone with hold. A box's purpose is to fuck with the Telco., not to add a fucking hold button to your phone. Anyway I will get on with this.... " Thank you Street Fighter ('thow i dont know u personally). Trace is an awesome utility which can really allow you to inflitrate the system you are already in (with system account) and let you hack even more cluster (...and not only) systems (ANY kind of system. And that includes UNIX or whatever you like, which are linked to your host using PSDN, ethernet, TCPIP..) The only trouble you will probably come out with, is a "clever" (...hehehe...) sysop or manager who has not "forget" the existence of "trace" and who uses it too. In that case an action of his/her's which looks like that may "raise some eyebrows" ; NETTRACE> SHOW TRACE %NETTRACE-I-CONNECTING, connecting to trace collector... Tracing on node MALATESTA on 4-AUG-1992 00:31:07 Collector Collecting to Tracepoints BAKUNIN$NETTRACE DUA3:[USERS.BAKUNIN]X25.DAT X25L3LINE. %NETTRACE-I-SHOW_DONE, SHOW command complete - press RETURN to continue NETTRACE> Warning: If you are NOT an an-archist (?! HOW STRANGE! WHY AND HOW A NON ANARCHIST READS THAT?) dont worry about the username and the nodename. But if you are (and that's what i'm expecting) and nothing comes to your mind when reading those names, then you'd better GO AND READ SOME THEORY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! (back to our subject) He/she can even use trace for checking all the in-coming calls and see your actions...And dont forget that there are simple ways (like finger, show process /id=xxx or external programs like WATCH) for checking users processes. If u dont know already how and what to do with it, it wont be just bad luck if someone notices you phuckin' up with things you shouldnt even know about. There are three flags for Trace. 1) Trace /psi Allows you to monitor the flow of PACKETS -and thats IMPORTAND! I repeat: PACKETS,TO and OUT of your VAX's Packet Switching Interface. 2) Trace /router In that case you monitor the flow of data on your DEC router or X.25 router. 3) Trace /VOTS ...which invokes the vots trace utility. If you do not specify anything of the above u can run trace and enter commands at the NETTRACE> prompt. Now...A very good thing to start up with is this; NETTRACE>start /live/data=ascii/width=132 tracepoint (132 columns are REQUIRED if u want to see the flow of information without loosing anything) Where "tracepoint" u must put one of these, depending on what you want to monitor (taken directly from the on-line help utility); tracepoint You may specify one or more tracepoints, separated by commas. Tracepoints have the following formats: [node::]ETHERNET [node::]DDCMP.line-id [node::]NSP [node::]ROU_ETHERNET [node::]ROU_SYNC.circuit_name [node::]X25L2.dev-c-u [node::]X25L3LINE.dev-c-u [node::]X25L3CHANNEL.circuit_name [node::]X25GAP.channel X25GATEWAY.network.LC-n [node::]LLC2LINE.dev-c-u [node::]LLC2CHANNEL.channel TRANSPORT INTERNET MAC If you specify more than one tracepoint, they must all be on the same node. Note that you need not specify the tracepoint name in full. The second part of the tracepoint name may be shortened or omitted altogether. For example X25L3LINE.KMX will trace all KMX lines at level 3. The default tracepoint is X25L2, which traces all PSI lines at level 2. That may already have been what most people would like to do. I have rarely used other tracepoints than the X25L3LINE one. Continuing i give what help says about the tracepoints in specific. ETHERNET DDCMP NSP ROU_ETHERNET ROU_SYNC X25L2 X25L3LINE X25L3CHANNEL X25GAP X25GATEWAY LLC2LINE LLC2CHANNEL TRANSPORT INTERNET MAC ETHERNET This starts tracing the Ethernet line. There are no options for use with this tracepoint and only one channel can be traced. DDCMP DDCMP.line-id This starts tracing the synchronous lines on line line-id. If the line name is not specified, all currently defined lines are traced. NSP This starts tracing the NSP logical links. There are no options for use with this tracepoint. ROU_ETHERNET This starts the tracing of routing on the Ethernet circuit. There are no options for use with this tracepoint and only one channel can be traced. ROU_SYNC ROU_SYNC.circuit_name This starts the tracing of routing on the synchronous circuits. If the circuit name is not specified, all currently defined circuits are traced. X25L2 X25L2.dev-c-u This starts tracing at level 2 (Frame level) on line dev-c-u. Both level 2 and level 3 headers will be captured (but see START /CAPTURE_SIZE). X25L3LINE X25L3LINE.dev-c-u This starts tracing at level 3 (Packet Level) on line dev-c-u. X25L3CHANNEL X25L3CHANNEL.circuit_name This starts tracing at level 3 (Packet Level) on the named virtual circuit. circuit_name TRACE START tracepoint X25L3CHANNEL circuit_name The format of circuit_name depends on the type of circuit being traced. . For PVCs, circuit_name is the name of the PVC. . For outgoing SVCs, circuit_name is the NW: device unit number (for example, NWA23). . For incoming SVCs, circuit_name takes the format dev-c-u_lcn_nn, where: dev-c-u is the name of the line on which the call arrived, lcn is the logical channel number of this virtual circuit (in hexadecimal), nn is a 2-digit sequence number. X25GAP X25GAP.channel This starts tracing the Gateway Access Protocol (GAP). To trace on an Access system specify channel in the form HOSTnnn. To trace on a Multi-host machine specify channel in the form GATEWAYnnn. As with all tracepoints, the channel name can be shortened or omitted altogether. X25GATEWAY X25GATEWAY.network.LC-n This starts tracing on an X.25 Gateway. See the VAX P.S.I. Problem Solving Guide for full details. LLC2LINE LLC2LINE.dev-c-u This starts tracing at the Medium Access Control (IEEE 802.3) level for the LLC 2 (IEEE 802.2) line dev-c-u. Both the MAC and LLC 2 frame information will be captured. LLC2CHANNEL LLC2CHANNEL.channel This starts tracing at the LLC2 (IEEE 802.2) frame level. Both LLC 2 (IEEE 802.2) frame level and L3 packet level information will be captured. channel TRACE START tracepoint LLC2CHANNEL channel To trace a particular LLC 2 data-link connection, specify the corresponding DTE address as the channel name. TRANSPORT TRANSPORT This starts tracing at the OSI Transport (ISO 8073)* level. INTERNET INTERNET This starts tracing at the OSI Internet (ISO 8473)* level. *ISO Networks (just for an example and for informational purposes only) There are two parameters provided for use with an IS 8208 PSDN. (IS 8208 is the International Standards Organization's definition of the CCITT X.25 recommendations.) The two parameters are interface and interupt timer.Interface specifies if the PSI acts like a DTE, a DCE or BOTH. Interupt timer specifies how long an interupt may remain without confirmation. It is specified in seconds. If it gets no answer within this time the circuit resets. MAC MAC This starts tracing at the OSI Medium Access Control (IEEE 802.3) level. If you "start /live..." trace wont keep any records.Start /output=filename will record everything in a data file which then you can read by invoking the NETTRACE>analyze filename What WE wont to do is start a tracepoint, log-out of the system, come after sometime and analyze it. What you can see in there includes usernames, passwords, confidential information you would like to hack but never had an idea where the users has them,things you wouldn't like your mom to hear etc etc. The limitations are not many. If the system your in has a lot of users logging in from several sources or using it for a gateway, then you gonna get REALLY interresting stuff, even privileged accounts from other systems.

BREAK DOWN THE WALL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -=- United Phreaker's Incorporated Magazine -=- Volume Two, Issue Seven, File 5 of 19 Summer Thrashing Volume 1 ______________________________ Author : Silicon Phreaker This File is a Property of UPi ______________________________ Ok. This took me a long time to write because of the fact that I have tried everything in this file, and that I got into a fight (relating to a stunt described below) and got my wrist metal plated & screwed down. So take all this as a sequel to my other files. Remember: If you get arrested, decked, buttfucked in jail, I'm not responsible for anything. I wasn't there when you did it. So, on let's carry on with the file, and remember : You only live once, and we're not coming back ! PARTY !!!! ______________________________ Party Kick Start ______________________________ Ok... You arrived... If the party is Semi-Formal, you're probably dressed up like a pogo... Tie, Vests and shit like that... And mostly everybody looks like you... Time to fix that up a bit... You may shoot people off with your paintgun, which would get you into trouble... If it's an outside party, get a few friends to make a Drive-By shooting, with paintguns. Spike the punch with the vodka... Put it in a Plastic Bad, drop the bag in the punch bowl, and pierce it with a fork... The vodka will slowly disolve in the punch, makin' it stronger as it get sipped away. The party has already started to be more liveable ? Cool... Peoples are drunk like shit ? Lot Cooler that way... They puke ? MARVELOUS!! Here comes the time for the use of the firecrackers... Locate a big green spill of puke, jam a firecracker in it, light it off and run... Move on to the most occupied place of the house... The bathroom... Steal some ketchup envelopes, and fold them in two, place them carefully under the toilet lid... As soon as someone sits on it to have a dump, he'll get ketchup splashing in his pants. Put some mineral water on the seats... Will show up like the dude has pissed in his pants... Fill a dead rat with black powder, put a firecracker in his mouth, put it on the buffet table, and light it... One "Rat Flambe" on the way... Ok... Now you're pissed... Fine... Get a camera and hide it somewhere in the bedroom, from where you can see the bed pretty good. I bet you can see what I want you to do right ? Next time that two dweebs will want to fuck in the room, you will be able to look at it on tape afterwhile. You might want to send a tape to the PO's parent. For them to see what their bedroom was used for. Fire Up the swimming pool... Use some gas, drop it very carefully in the pool and light it up... Guaranteed pleasure... Make sure that someone is in the pool at the moment you do it... Hang the cat, dog or whatever animals which will be found inside the house. Steal the stereo system... Spill ketchup off everybody that's smaller then you... The party should be a total waste by now... So go to the owner and thank him for the radical night you had... Say you hope he invites you to his next party... And then, paintball him... ______________________________ Outside Tricks ______________________________ Now that you can thrash any party, let's move on to heavier shit. Your beloved neighborhood. Or someone else's ... - Car Bashing You want to get at someone ? Does he have a car ? Yes ? GOOD ! What better way to let him know you hate him then bash his car ? Raping his girl is cool too but a bit out of it. So lets stick to killing the car. Use a jack and lift the car off ground. Put cement block underneath it to hold it, and take the bolt off his tire, then steal them. You can even make some spending money by selling them if they're magnesium wheel. (BTW : Looking for (4) Dodge Caravan WHITE mag. Paying 400$ CDN for them.) Take a screwdriver and make a tiny hole in his gas tank, then, put a piece of Silly-Putty in the hole. Gas will eat it's way through the putty and he'll choke up on the highway. Ram a broomstick up the exhaust pipe. If it jams, use a hammer. Get inside the car, and open the hood. Now the real fun begins. You can steal the battery, or can do some cool stuff as : - Invert the flasher's so that Left = Right and Right = Left. Guaranteed accident. - Connect the High Intensity Beams to the horn. Nice Effects on a country road. - Shortcut the battery, and GET THE HELL OUTTA' THERE. - Put chewing gum in the fuel injectors. - Put some ethylic alcohol in the radiator. - Put some indian ink in the windshield washer tank. - Connect wipers to horn. - Disconnect wipers, and bypass the windshield washer pump's wire to be on permanently. - Mix sparkplugs wire within each other. On Some car, it'll completely de- phase it. Inside the car you can pull some nice tricks too. - Replace the dome light with a flashing light ($1.99 / RadioShack) and arrange it so it's always on. Real pain in the butt. - Arrange the radio so the volume is ALWAYS to the max level. And screw the bass so it's only going to pour tweeters in his poor motherfucking ears. - Pour some REALLY stinking substance in the A/C and Heater outputs. hopefully he'll be splashed with it when he turns it on, and it's gonna smell for ages in his car. - Smoke a bud in his car, and hide some marijuana in the glove compartment. When he'll get arrested for his car plate, he's in deep trouble. ____________________________________________________________________________ Ok, well. That is about it for this time. I wrote this for the deadline, and it's the best that I could think of. Anyway. It's better then some of my old article, which was a tad bit outdated. Have fun, party, smoke pot and don't get caught. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____ / /\ \ ( /--\ )NARCHY INC. IF IT GOT A PUSSY, WE'LL FUCK IT !

This file is a division of Genghis Khan Presents Unlimited (r). =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W O R L D R E C O R D S =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Fireworks: The largest firework ever produced was Universe I exploded for the Lake Toya Festival, Hokkaido, Japan on August 28, 1983. The 928-lb shell was 42.5 inches in diameter and burst to a diameter of 2,830 ft, with a 5-color display. Worst Accidents & Disasters In The World: Fireworks: More than 800 people died at Dauphine's wedding, Seine, Paris, May 16, 1770. Greatest Explosion: The greatest explosion (possibly since Santorini in the Aegean Sea c. 1470 BC) occurred c. 10:00 a.m. (local time), or 3:00 am G.M.T., on August 27, 1883 with an eruption of Krakatoa, an island (then 18 sq mi) in the Sunda Strait between Sumatra and Java, in Indonesia. A total of 163 villages were wiped out, and 36,380 people killed by the wave it caused. Rocks were thrown 34 miles high, and dust fell 10 days later at a distance of 3,313 miles. The explosion was recorded 4 hours later on the island of Rodrigues, 2,968 miles away, as "the roar of heavy guns" and was heard over 1/13th part of the surface of the globe. This explosion has been estimated to have had about 26 times the power of the greatest H-bomb test detonation, but was still only a fifth of the size of the Santorini cataclysm. Largest "Conventional" Explosion: The largest use of conventional explosive was for the demolition of the fortifications and U-Boat pens at Heligoland on April 18, 1947. A net charge of 4,253 tons was detonated by Commissioned Gunner E.C. Jellis of the Royal Navy team headed by Lt F.T. Woosnam aboard HMS Lasso lying 9 miles out to sea. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= In order to write a text file that will deal with pyrotechnics, it is first necessary to make distinctions between certain words. While a firework can be considered an explosive, in this file we will separate the two words. When the term explosive is used, it is referring to any substance which can decompose suddenly and produce large amounts of gaseous products and thermal energy (heat). While in retrospect, a firework will be known as any device containing explosives and other combustible material that, when ignited, produce light or loud noise. When the term incendiary is used it is referring to both explosives and fireworks. To produce an incendiary device, it is necessary to take proper precautions. The incendiary will not be much fun if you lose your limbs preparing it. Therefore, I am including a vast safety section. Do not skip this section, as it could very well save your life. This text file has been created by Genghis Khan. However, Fireball has given much information, and credit should be given equally to both parties. Fireball will soon be in the underground... On another note, this text file is the result of knowledge obtained from periodicals, books, and other reference material. There is a bibliography at the end. The material that is following is not plagiarized.

The safety procedures for all explosives are nothing more than common sense and reasoning. Yes, smokeless powder is stable, but if you put it in the oven, it will explode. That may sound stupid, but a 14-year- old in Ohio did it and killed himself. Plastique is a very stable explosive compound, but it needs to be softened before use. Some guy in New Jersey softened his plastique with a hammer, and he is no more. TNT can be burned and it will not explode (most of the time) where gunpowder will ignite with the smallest spark. Moral: Each explosive has it's own characteristics. Make sure that you know of all the properties before the incendiary is produced. Read the following and take it into consideration. Explosives are intended to cause damage to something. Whether it be in a war zone, destroying bridges, and enemy fortifications, or in common everyday use, in mining, ditch digging, and more. Remember this when you are making it. If the explosive can destroy a bridge or enemy fortifications, you better believe it will destroy you. Always be paranoid. Being paranoid is only going to save you. If you think everything over and watch your back, everything will be fine. However, if you decide that no one cares about what you are doing, and that you know it all, you will either hurt yourself or someone else, or get busted. Keep away all sources of ignition. This means no cigarettes, no electricity, or other things that may be capable of igniting a fuse or mixture. By saying no electricity, I am talking about stray voltage or static electricity. That doesn't mean shut off your power. Generally, electricity is not a problem... so don't worry about it too much. Use common sense. It is a proven fact that men who are alert, who think out a situation, and who take correct precautions have fewer accidents than the careless and indifferent. It is important that work be planned and that instructions be followed to the letter; all work should be done in a neat and orderly manner. In the manufacture of incendiaries, equipment must be kept clean and such energy concentrations as sparks, friction, impact, hot objects, flame, chemical reactions, and excessive pressure should be avoided. Don't be erratic. Do not use or create explosives or pyrotechnics while drunk, falling asleep, angry, or any other strange mood that may hinder your ability to think. Try to make all explosives outside in a secluded area. Never, I repeat, NEVER try to make explosives in your house, unless it is somewhere where no one goes, or no ones cares about. Sometimes a garage may work well, but in the case that something would go off, your oxygen could be depleted quickly depending on what you are making. Try to find a place on your property, or in a wooded area that is near a residential area (in case of an emergency) but out of the sight of nosy neighbors, pigs, and other curious people. If you are making explosives in a wooded area, don't be an idiot and burn the forest down. Always have an idea how you will put something out if it happens to go off. Water is not always the best fire extinguisher. On a hot explosion or fire, the water will vaporize leaving oxygen and hydrogen, which will only add to the fire's wrath. Wet sand or a fire blanket will work, but if possible, use a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher. Know first aid. If something goes off in your hands, be prepared to treat it quickly. You can buy burn creams and other medical supplies for treating burns and abrasions. Use extra care when packing an explosive with shrapnel. Locate a unique and secure place for storing chemicals and explosives. You will want to choose a place close enough for you to watch, but not close enough, or important enough of place, to be a hazard. Take extra precaution in securing the area so that if someone was around they could not tamper with anything. Do not store blasting caps, electrical caps, detonators, or primers in the same containers with any other form of high or low explosives. If one thing goes off, you will be looking at a chain-reaction. Do not store fuses or fuse lighters in a wet or damp place, or near the storage of flammables such as oil, gasoline, cleaning solvents or paints. Fuses should also be kept away from radiators, steam pipes, stoves, or any other source of heat, because the very nature of non-electrical fuses is such that any one of these things could start a large fire. Metals should be kept absolutely away from explosives, meaning that metal tools should not be stored in the same container with explosives. These metals will kill if the explosives would go off. Spontaneous combustion is a real problem when storing explosives. For this reason, do not allow leaves, grasses, brush, or any debris to collect or accumulate around the explosives storage area. Certain types of explosives require certain types of storage, including temperature regulation and other controls. Be sure that you understand all aspects of the compound's nature before handling or storing it. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Characteristics of Explosives DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Most explosives are nitrogen compounds which may be set off by: 1. ignition; 2. slight shock; and 3: severe shock. Explosives are either solid or liquid, either mixtures or single compounds, and act by explosive chemical reaction, liberating at high speed, heat and gas, which causes tremendous pressure. According to speed of reaction they are classed as: 1. Low explosives, Propellant explosives or Propellants (as gunpowder, flash powder, and smokeless powders) 2. High explosives or Disruptives (as dynamite, amatol, picric acid, tetryl, and TNT). Permissible or Permitted explosives are those passed by public authority for use under prescribed conditions, especially those permitted for blasting in mines (sometimes called safety explosives). The chief classes of explosives are: (1) Mixtures of combustible but nonexplosive material with an oxidizing agent, especially a nitrate, a chlorate, or a perchlorate (ordinary gunpowder, blasting powder, etc.). (2) Organic nitrates, as nitroglycerine or guncotton; also, mixtures containing these, as dynamite. The smokeless powders contain cellulose nitrate as the sole or chief ingredient. (3) Nitro substitution products or mixtures containing these, as TNT and lyddite. (4) Fulminating powders, as mercury fulminate and lead azide, used as detonators. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Low Explosives - Low explosives generally fit into class one or two of the above table. They are commonly used as propellants in fireworks (such as bottle rockets). If detonated in the air it will simply burn or deflagrate. In order for any low explosive to have the ability to produce a blast wave (or shock wave in water) it is necessary to contain the explosive. This containment can be as simple as a cardboard container (such as firecrackers), to metal pipes (as pipe bombs). The stronger the container which holds the explosive, the larger the blast wave should be. In addition, say for instance, you create a pipe bomb with one quarter of the pipe filled with gunpowder. It will take a short period of time before this pipe fills with enough gas for it to explode. Generally low explosives are "fun" to play with, but, if used correctly, can be as powerful as some high explosives. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= High Explosives - High explosives fit into categories 2, 3, and 4 in the above table. Some high explosives can be detonated with a fuse, but it is more reliable to use a blasting cap. A blasting cap is simply a small explosive that is detonated to start the larger explosive on it's way. These generally contain mercury fulminate. If high explosives are to be used in a container, such as a pipe, use extreme caution. The explosion will be tremendous. Overall, if high explosives are to be used, make them in small quantities. Follow directions EXACTLY when making high explosives, and whatever you do, do not take short cuts. Even if you don't get hurt from an explosive, many are powerful enough to seriously hurt your hearing. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Black Powder aka Gunpowder - Low Explosive - Deflagrating - Class I DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD One of the oldest pyrotechnic compositions, black powder, serves as both the propellant and explosive charge in modern firework shells. The Chinese developed black powder (the original gunpowder) more than 1,000 years ago for use in crude missiles and firecrackers. Awareness of black powdered traveled west during the Middle Ages. The English monk Roger Bacon disclosed a formula for the explosive mixture in 1242 as part of his defense against accusations of witchcraft. He considered it such a dangerous material that he wrote about it in code. As the formula became more widely known, black powder revolutionized quarrying and construction. Weapons such as muskets and cannons, developed during the 14th century, exploited black powder as a propellant. The basic formula for black powder has persisted essentially unchanged throughout the centuries: an intimate blend of potassium nitrate (commonly known as saltpeter), charcoal and sulfur in a 75:13:12 ratio by WEIGHT. It may in fact be the only chemical product that is produced today using the same ingredients, the same proportions and the same manufacturing process as were used in the time of Columbus. This constancy reflects the fact that black powder is a nearly ideal pyrotechnic substance. It consists of abundant, inexpensive chemicals that are relatively nontoxic and environmentally safe. The mixture is so stable that it can be stored for decades without deteriorating, if kept dry. Black powder is easily ignited by means of a moderate jolt of energy, such as a spark or a small burning fuse. The ideal black powder burns very quickly. You may find that black powder in the 75:13:12 ratio may burn rather slowly. If this is the case, simply add more sulfur. Record the amounts of sulfur you put in, and continue to experiment with different amounts of sulfur until you have created your own perfect blend. The sulfur burns very hot and acts as sort of a catalyst. Because of it's extreme high temperature it makes the rest of the mixture burn much faster. While black powder is nice and dandy, it is more a firework. In order for it to have "explosive" power it must be in a container. Under pressure black powder can be very destructive. If put into a pipe and sealed it will explode with tremendous force. A CO2 cartridge works fine as well. The equation for black powder is: 2KNO + 3C + S -> K S + 3CO + N 3 2 2 2 202 + 36 + 32 = 270 202/270 = 75% KNO3; 36/270 = 13% C; 32/270 = 12% S Black powder can be made by simply adding the potassium nitrate, sulfur, and charcoal together, or by the process described below. Either works equally well. Improvised Black Powder Black powder can be prepared in a simple, safe manner. It may be used as blasting or gun powder Material Required: DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Potassium nitrate, granulated, 3 cups (3/4 liter) Wood charcoal, powdered, 2 cups (1/2 liter) Sulfur, powdered, 1/2 cup (1/8 liter) Alcohol, 5 pints (2-1/2 liters) (rubbing alcohol, etc.) Water, 3 cups (3/4 liter) Heat source 2 Buckets - each 2 gallon (7-1/2 liters) capacity, at least one of which is heat resistant (metal, ceramic, etc.) Flat window screening, at least 1 foot (30 cm) square Large wooden stick Cloth, at least 2 feet (60 cm) square Procedure DDDDDDDDD 1.

It is a dense, oily liquid that is extremely sensitive to shock. The slightest jarring may be sufficient to cause it to decompose with enormous force. Dynamite is a solid mixture made by absorbing nitroglycerin in wood flour mixed with sodium nitrate. The dynamite is usually encased in cardboard cylinders to form "sticks." In this way the hazardous property of nitroglycerin is lessened, while its usefulness is retained. The chemical equation for making nitroglycerin is: C H (OH) + 3HNO -> C H (NO ) + 3H O 3 5 3 3 3 5 3 3 2 At this point a measure of sulfuric acid is added which absorbs the water and makes the reaction go much quicker. This is more fully explained in the section about sulfuric acid. Nitroglycerine has a specific gravity at 15 degrees Celsius of 1.5931. Nitroglycerine is such an effective explosive because of the positive oxygen balance during detonation. This means that more than enough oxygen molecules are available to oxidize the carbon and hydrogen while the nitrogen is being liberated. Also because of the high nitrogen concentration. (18.5%) One pound of nitroglycerine produces 156.7 cubic feet of gas. The blast wave moves at 7700 meters/second. Nitroglycerine is extremely sensitive to shock and rapid heating; it begins to decompose between 50-60 degrees Celsius, becomes volatile at 120 degrees C and explodes at 218 degrees Celsius. A serious problem in the use of nitroglycerine as an explosive is its relatively high freezing temperature (13.2 degrees Celsius, 56 degrees F) A major problem with the manufacture of nitroglycerine is that the nitration produces a good deal of heat, and if the mixture is not kept cool, the temperature of the nitroglycerine could rise to extreme instability. Nitroglycerine, to be somewhat safe, should not go above 10 degrees C or 50 degrees F. Nitroglycerine is a VERY TREACHEROUS explosive. I highly recommend against making it. If you do decide to make it you do not value your life very much. If you make it make it in SMALL AMOUNTS! I recommend a blast shield of some sort. Be cautious on what you use. If the nitroglycerine is powerful enough it will make the blast shield into a sort of shrapnel.

Put the beaker in the water. Make sure the beaker doesn't float around. You may have to hold the beaker. Put the thermometer in the ice water and read the temperature. Make sure it is well under 25 degrees Celsius. If it is not, then continue to add more ice until it is between 10-25 degrees. Wipe off the thermometer. ALL PROPORTIONS ARE FOR 100% PURITY 1. Put 3 parts Sulfuric Acid in beaker. 2. Add 1 part Nitric Acid. 3. With the pipette drop 1 drop of glycerin into the beaker. (ADD ONLY 1 DROP! See 3a below) 4. GENTLY stir the solution with the glass rod. 5. While stirring, insert the thermometer in the solution. Read the temperature. If the temperature is 50 degrees or more than the nitroglycerine is unstable and could detonate at any time. If the temperature is 40 degrees and is starting to rise, dump the solution in the water. Watch the temperature closely and if it gets to 30-35 degrees Celsius start adding ice. 6. Continue to stir for about 2 minutes or until you feel the glycerin has been exposed to most of the nitric acid. The longer you wait the better. If you don't give it enough time, and continue to add glycerin the mixture will become volatile and could detonate at any moment. 7. After you feel the first drop has had enough time, add another. Keep your eye on the temperature and be ready to dump the solution if temperatures become hazardous. 8. Once you have made enough nitroglycerine to please you, use it soon. DO NOT STORE IT! If you want to store it for a short period of time, then add sodium nitrate to it. About 2 parts sodium nitrate to 1 part nitroglycerine. Under no means should you store the finished nitroglycerine in your house, or anywhere for that matter. If circumstances were to occur which would inform the police or bomb squad that you have nitroglycerine in your house, the nitroglycerine could be detonated inside your house, along with an area wide evacuation.

Many other explosives can be made that are more stable and can be just as exciting. You may not feel cautious now, but wait till you are the one who has to stir. Buahahahahahahahah =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Nitrocellulose/Smokeless Powder - Low Explosive - Deflagrating - Class I DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Smokeless powder, or Nitrocellulose, is made by treating cellulose with nitric and sulfuric acids. It differs from Nitrocellulose plastics in that the cellulose is more thoroughly nitrated. It is a low explosive and must be confined when detonated. When smokeless powder burns, the colorless products, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water vapor, and nitrogen, are formed. Hence the name "smokeless" powder. I have never made nitrocellulose. However, the reaction should be quite similar to that of nitroglycerin. The sulfuric acid, H2SO4, is used to absorb the water vapor formed, which would dilute the reactants and slow the reaction. The nitric acid, HNO3, nitrates the cellulose, (C6H10O5)n. So if you are to try to make smokeless powder, read the section on nitroglycerin and instead of using glycerin, use cellulose. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Shell Fillers - Detonators - High Explosives - Class 4 DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD The explosive used inside an artillery shell must be able to stand the shock of the propellant which starts it on its course. It must also be capable of exploding with great force when it reaches its target. Explosives of this type, requiring severe shock to set them off, are called shell-fillers. Trinitrotoluene (try-ny-troh-tol-you-een), usually abbreviated TNT, is the most commonly used shell filler for military purposes. Picric acid is also used as a shell filler. Detonators are extremely sensitive explosives which are set off by shock and which decompose with almost incredible rapidity. They are used in small amounts in cartridges and shells to start the main explosion. Mercury fulminate is a well-known detonator. It is a very treacherous explosive that may be set off by heat, friction, or shock. Lead azide is a detonator that is used in car airbags. Upon impact, this detonator decomposes rapidly and gives off an immense amount of gas. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Thermite - Class I DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD A mixture of coarsely powdered aluminum and iron oxide will react if it is raised to a high enough temperature to start the chemical change. A tremendous amount of heat is set free when the reaction occurs. Such a reaction between aluminum and the oxide of a less active metal is called the Thermite Reaction. 390 kilocalories of heat are set free during the formation of one mole of aluminum oxide. The heat of formation of ferric oxide is 191 kilocalories. When the Thermite reaction occurs, an amount of heat equal to the difference between these values is set free for each mole of aluminum oxide formed. The equation is: 2 Al + Fe O -> Al O + 2Fe + 199 Kilocalories 2 3 2 3 The liberation of such a large amount of heat so suddenly produces a very high temperature. The temperature of the Thermite reaction is estimated at 3500 degrees C. Reactions of this type are sometimes called aluminothermy or aluminothermics.

It is sold by the name Thermite in the catalog. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Nitric Acid DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Nitric Acid - HNO3 Molecular Weight - 63.01 Density - 1.5027 Melting Point - -42 degrees Celsius Boiling Point - 83 degrees Celsius Solubility, in grams per 100 cc Cold Water Hot Water Other Solvents Infinity Infinity Decomposes violently in alcohol; soluble in ether Pure HNO3 is a colorless liquid, about 1.5 times as dense as water. It fumes in moist air and boils at 83 degrees Celsius. The 100% HNO3 is unstable, and for that reason, the concentrated nitric acid of commerce is a 68% solution (42 degrees Baume') of HNO3 in water. Such a solution boils at 120 degrees Celsius. A more dilute solution boils at a lower temperature, losing water and becoming more concentrated. Chemical Properties of Nitric Acid 1. Stability. Nitric acid is not very stable. When boiled, or even when exposed to sunlight, it decomposes to some extent. Water and nitrogen dioxide, NO2, are two products of its decomposition. The deep yellow color of laboratory bottles of nitric acid is caused by small amounts of dissolved nitrogen dioxide which are formed when the acid is exposed to light. In water solution the acid is more stable. Fuming red nitric acid, a very corrosive liquid, has a red color due to considerable amounts of dissolved nitrogen dioxide. It fumes in moist air and burns the skin painfully. 2. Acid properties. When dilute, nitric acid has the usual properties of acids. It reacts with metals and the oxides of metals. It reacts with hydroxides, forming salts known as nitrates. Nitric acid stains the skin yellow, forming xanthoproteic (zan- thoh-proh-tee-ick) acid. It produces the same effect with any protein, and for that reason is used as a test for proteins. A drop of nitric acid added to a slice of hard-boiled egg white will show the test perfectly. The color deepens to a bright-orange when ammonia- water solution is added. Nitric acid may be prepared in the laboratory by the action of sulfuric acid on sodium nitrate. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Sulfuric Acid DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Sulfuric Acid - H2SO4 Molecular Weight - 98.08 Density - 1.841 Melting Point - 10.36 degrees Celsuis Boiling Point - 338 degrees Celsius Solubility, in grams per 100 cc Cold Water Hot Water Other Solvents Infinity; Infinity Decomposes in Alcohol Evolves heat Concentrated sulfuric acid is a dense, oily liquid which is sometimes called oil of vitriol. The concentrated acid, which contains about 2% water, has a specific gravity of about 1.84 and a boiling point of 338 degrees Celsuis. Pure sulfuric acid is colorless, but commercial acid may have a yellow color, or it may be brown or almost black because of the presence of impurities, especially organic matter. When sulfuric acid is added to water (you must never add water to sulfuric acid) a great deal of heat is evolved because of the formation of the hydrates H2SO4 . H2O and H2SO4 . 2H2O. Sulfuric Acid's dehydrating properties The strong affinity of sulfuric acid for water makes it an excellent dehydrating agent. Gases may be dried by bubbling them through concentrated sulfuric acid. Lumps of pumice stone soaked in sulfuric acid may be used in the lower part of a desiccator. In fact, sulfuric acid is such an active dehydrating agent that it will take hydrogen and oxygen, in the proportion needed to form water, from such substances as sugar, C12H22O11, or cellulose, (C6H10O5)n, leaving the carbon uncombined. C12H22O11 + 11 H2SO4 -> 12 C + 11 H2SO4 . H2O In the same manner, concentrated sulfuric acid chars wood, paper, cotton, starch, and other organic compounds. In making some products commercially, water is formed as a by- product. Let us illustrate this with the reaction for making nitroglycerine, C3H5(NO3)3 C3H5(OH3) + 3 HNO3 -> C3H5(NO3)3 + 3 H2O In the manufacture of this explosive, concentrated nitric acid is used. Since the nitric acid is reacting with a non-electrolyte, the reaction is slow. To prevent dilution of the acid, which cause the reaction to proceed more slowly, sulfuric acid is always mixed with the nitric acid. The sulfuric acid acts as a dehydrating agent. It absorbs the water as fast as it is formed and greatly speeds the rate of the reaction. This same principle takes place in nitrocellulose or smokeless powder. Dilute sulfuric acid may be obtained from some car batteries. Due to sulfuric acids high boiling point, it can be boiled to concentration without the use of a retort or other glassware. The boiling point will continue to drop the more dilute the acid is, until reaching 0% sulfuric acid, 100 degrees Celsuis, and retrospectively, 640.4 degrees F (338 degrees C) with 100% purity. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Where to get chemicals and laboratory supplies DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD The information I have just gave you is useless without a source to obtain the chemicals from. Here are just a few. Check your local library for more, and believe me, there are MORE! Frey Scientific 905 Hickory Lane, P.O. Box 81o1 Mansfield, Ohio 44905 8oo.225.FREY Specializes in Low, Low prices to schools. You must be a school to order from them. GFS Chemicals P.O. Box 23214 Columbus, Ohio 43223 8oo.858.9682; 614.881.55o1 Specializes in high quality reagent grade chemicals. Leading producer of Perchlorate chemicals in the country. GFS has a reputation for the quality of their goods, but they are quite expensive. Generally, for the pyrotechnic device, you do not need reagent quality chemicals. However, GFS sells some of those...hard to find chemicals like Cyanuric Acid, C3H3N3O3, (2,4,6-Trihydroxy-1,3,5-triazine), a convenient lab source for Hydrogen Cyanide gas, HCN. Look around in your library for chemical supply houses. Ones that pop into my head are Fisher Scientific, Nasco, and a load of others. Compare prices. And buy from the cheapest. Perhaps the best source for chemicals is from a local company. Look in your business white pages under chemicals and see if there is anything there. Then look in the yellow pages for chemicals. In big cities there are generally a few supply houses. From here on, I am going to tell a story of Fireball and my adventures with Pyrotechnica. I have a friend who has a Masters degree in Biology and a Bachelors degree in Chemistry. If you have any friends who are scientists, ask them where to get chemicals. Tell them you are doing a science experiment or that you are in a band or have been asked by a band to do stage effects. My friend directed me to a local chemical supply company, that he said would have all the chemicals I would need. I was really happy. So I called up this place, and told them a few chemicals that I needed. The man replied that he really didn't have any chemicals, and that mainly he sells pH indicators and other materials for industrial uses. Well, I knew that my friend wouldn't lie to me, so I told Fireball and we went down to the place. The signs were weathered, and it was someplace you wouldn't leave you door unlocked. There was a computer printout above the door that said the company's name. We finally found our way to it, and it was one room, about 20' by 50' and junked up immensely. We almost turned around and left. But we decided to check it out anyways. Once inside we told the old man that we needed chemicals and he immediately remembered the phone call and said that he didn't have any chemicals. Yeah right. I think it was more like he didn't think he had many chemicals, but he had to have AT LEAST 150 different chemicals and a bunch of assorted glassware and other products. There were 2.5kg bottles of potassium nitrate, KNO3, which he said he didn't have. Powdered zinc, about 300 mesh, which we bought for $12.00. Powdered iron, which we bought for $1.50. Potassium nitrate, technical grade, 95%, $1.50 a pound. We bought all he had...2 lbs. Potassium Permanganate, KMnO4, we bought a little bit, but it was expensive. We also bought 500g of Lampblack carbon (charcoal). 500 g of it is a lot! And it was only $1.50. We also purchased a flask, a beaker, a graduated cylinder, some filter paper, an alcohol burner, and some other things I can't remember.

By The DarkMan As one of the people on an Alliance once said, " We (the hackers) may be considered unethical to some people, but as a small and growing community, we have our own code of ethics." When he pointed this out, which I may say was greeted with much enthusiasm on the Alliance, I got the idea of releasing this file on exactly that: The Hacker's Code Of Ethics. We live in the age of computers. Everything is controlled by massive mainframes; Our water distribution system, rail-road control, airline control, electricity control, telephone companies, etc, etc, etc... Imagine the fun someone can have in one of those systems!!! Just the fact of getting in them can sometimes be a major accomplishment. But my point is, what people do once they are in... The one thing I hate, is the way some self-appointed hackers find there way into a system, and ruin the name of the rest of us by destroying everything they can find. Now that is pathetic. First of all, as I said, it ruins the name of the rest of us. The word "Hacker" has forever been tarnished because of those people. All you have to do is mention "Hacker!" to the computer manager of a company, and he'll keel over in an epileptic fit! Let me tell you what my fun is. This idea I got from my good friend Matrix, in the 207 NPA. What I do, is get in the system first of all... That's when the fun starts... I take care of all the security features, hiding my passage, and then leave the SysAdmin a little message, something like this: " Dear System Administrator. I find that the security of your system is somewhat neglected, which could bring a serious downfall of your data should one of my more destructive "brothers" find there way here. You should change or emphasize the importance of security in your office. I will call back in exactly one week to check out the changes. Signed, The Happy Hacker :) " I've pulled this trick off a few times, and it worked... But of course, by then, I had alreay created a few superuser accounts, so I had no trouble getting back in... I would just like to see the face ONCE of a system administrator that reads that message!!! My next point, is the attitude some hackers have towards each other. We are of a dying race. There are not many of us left that actually know what we are doing and most importantly why we do what we do. The importance of sticking together and protecting one another should not even be brought up. We should know it. But no... There will always be some asshole considering himself a hacker that will pull another hacker's CN/A... The one thing a hacker cherishes beyond all is his need for privacy... If one of us does not what to be hassled, bothered or otherwise harassed, it is his own right! We do not have the right nor is it to our advantage to betray that right. It will only aggravate that person, and make him aggressive towards the rest of us... Also, some hackers have this massive ego problem... I must name one here, for that problem, and he is Corporal Punishment... I have had numerous run-ins with this guy. He seems to think he is a God, constantly running everyone into the ground. He even went as far as saying "PHRACK sucks!" But he isn't the only one with that problem... Some feel that if they put others down, they will elevate to a higher level. Sorry to burst you bubble guys, but your only viewed as massive ego-maniacs that deserve nothing less than being run down yourselves... One other thing some "hackers" have loads of fun with, is pulling other hackers CBI Information, and posting it public. Now that is one of the most pathetic attempts at getting even I have ever seen. And what's worse, if the hacker in question is a minor, then the person wanting to pull the CBI will try and get the PARENTS credit info! The parents, who have absolutly nothing to do with this, will either: Turn in they're own child ( which has happened in many cases ), take away the entire computer set-up, or try a kamikaze attack on the whole computer underground ( if they're really frustrated ). The last thing I will mention, will be hackers turning in other hackers to federal crime agencies, or to the PhoneCorp security offices, or any other type of company that deals with computer related phraud. This activity, refered to as Narcing, is getting to be to popular for a hackers good... You may be saying, " Come on, no hacker in they're right mind would turn another on in ". And your right... It's once again those self proclaimed hackers, or the ones who think they are who will do this to get "Even"... Listen to this... Those who are familiar with the current events in our community will have heard of this little story. This 15 year old "hacker" uses Leech Z-modem every where he goes, then get's caught, and then leaves that BBS never to call back again. This other "hacker" who unfortunatly for him, used to be a respected person in the H/P community, decides to get even in an affair that never did concern him. He pulls the 15 year olds parent's CBI information, and posts it public. The 15 year old gets pissed off, so calls Patricia Sisson, of SprintNet security, whom the CBI puller had already had problems with. Thus, a Narc attack... Well, fortunatly for him, the CBI puller managed to lie and worm and wiggle himself out of trouble once more, but lost all the respect he had accumulated because of the CBI pulling... Like I said, I named not anyone, but people who keep in contact with the news know who it is... And one more thing I'd like to clear up... I'm sure some of you people have had trouble logging into some local wares boards, or something like that, because of the fact that your a hacker... The thing that goes through that SysOp's mind, is that your comming here to crash his system. Thus, once again, the "Destructive Computer User" Stereotype... A board crasher is no more a "hacker" than my grandmother is. We, of a dying comumunity, have an obligation towards those who follow in our footsteps. We must show them how a hacker acts, how a hacker goes about his activities, what a hacker is supposed to be! We must not try to kill each other off by reporting each other to the law, or by destroying our private life. We must stick together in times when doing what we do becomes difficult... We must also prove to the media, who seem to have the idea that all computer owners are hackers, and that hackers are all teenage under-achievers, that a hacker is much more, so very much more than they're stereotyped hacker is...And to those who think to themselves " But why do you hack? " I say, " Why in the hell are you reading this? " I believe I have said enough. If anyone wishes to comment on this file, or otherwise wants to get in contact with me, can reach me on my system, The Nuclear Development Corporation, or on any other reputable H/P system across North America.
