It was stupid of the 'folks' that designed internet were stupid... But, As I
believe, it was NEVER meant to be secure by ANY means... The security should
be handled by the individual systems. From what I see, the main reason that
I-net is so insecure is because the sysadmins are careless and lazy (I wont
say stupid, because you can't be stupid to run a Unix system, just ignorant
and lazy)... If they restricted access to I-net it might make it more secure,
but then that would defeat the whole purpose of I-net... People also say it
was stupid to implement the TFTP protocol, when actually, this was meant so
that people could set up a "diskless" system and transfer the OS to it during
boot time... The programmers might've made some mistakes while implementing
it, but it was DEFINETLY NOT stupid! I very much doubt it would be in so many
different versions of Unix if it was stupid!

problem with the internet as i see it..
On any interactivenetwork <as the internet>, in which various systems are
"trusted hosts" o other systems... you are going to have the ollowing problem
you can have 100 systems on a network, and 99 o them can be totally
unhackable..
all you need is to get into that one, and then getting in to the other 99 is
dead easy..!
To make lie easier or users, alovely set of r <remote> commands were created..
which let you manipulate things on remote hots or your system...
you can practically do everything you can do had you logged into the system,
without logging in..
not to mention the 1000's o bugs in both the internet and the machines and
their networking capabilities in general..
<as some bbs users know! ahem..>
I still look it it like one big playground... :-)

ut will sell if accounts $5, w/  free cpu time and dirtcheap printing, but the
only catch is having to be a ut student w/ id.  i had one before which i got a
friend of mine (who was a student) to get for me, but someone decided to narc
on my and tell the system admins what i did. <how they knew is beyond me>
i heard somewhere <have not verified this yet> that ut has some stupid evening
classes that ANYONE can get into for like $45. and you get a regular student
id. going to look into that today, if anyone wants to know if it works let me
know.
but assuming the above trick won't work, i'd like to get an account somewhere
that is 100% legal. <ie: not someone elses account>

the one i'm talking about is the network that connects thousands of university
and other type computers together.  the nice thing about it is that you could
say have a unix account at MIT, you could call up UT and without any password
connect to the site at MIT and login login with your account.
hopefully someone will give a more in-depth description.

oh and for those of you who enjoy using such things, try telneting to
quartz.rutgers.edu and login as `bbs' <no passwd>. it has irc, tinymud, and
tiny hell built into one account.   kinda fun when you're totally bored.

12/31: UT UNIX
Name: Erik Bloodaxe #2
Date: Fri Jan 26 17:28:30 1990
For Joe Average to get an account at UT it will cost 100/CPU hour.  Kind of
steep...but this will give you an account on EMX.
For a student, you can pay a flat fee of 5 dollars (towards the cost of any
printing you may do) and you will get an account on one of the Sun systems.
This is what most students have done, as most of us don't have 100 bucks to
blow!  I don't even know how much time elapses in a cpu hour!
There are a couple of public access unixes here in austin that allow for
Bitnet mail, and Usenet...I doubt they will let you telnet around the internet
though..
->ME

13/31: CPU hour
Name: Dark Sun #11
Date: Fri Jan 26 20:45:30 1990
well, the student is limited to like .05 cpu hours max on a single process on
EMX.... There are NO austin public access unix systems that are even hooked
into I-net let alone letting you telnet between 'em.... Anyone know of any
x.25 unixs off inet that you can get an account on?

it sucks down here. there are 2 pubnix sites, rpp386 <832-8835> and bigtex
<346-2339>. You can't connect to either using tcp/ip and for the most part
they only allow uucp logins.
as for mail, i've know of *one* place to send internet mail from for free, and
its okay, but its single line and has to go through pnet01 and cts.com before
the mail even gets outside.  plus it only polls for mail during pc pursuit
hours. with all this factored together it ends up taking about 2 days to send
to like mit.edu, and for comparison purposes (even though i know this is an
extreme> i sent a 180line file from the if machines at ut to mit, and it took
less than 10 minutes...

as soon as i go to compuadd and pick up a new power supply, I'll sit down  and
read these uucp docs so i can get my own site up...

ok.. the reason you can login into a system from a differnet system is as
follows
if on the system you are calling, there exists in your directory a file called
rhosts, and it has the name of the system you want to xcall form in it...
you are then able to use the rlogin command <also provided that the system you
are calling from is in hosts.equiv and hosts on the remote system>
umm.. a cpu hour takes a hell of a long time..
i have just discovered that my univerwsity down here charge 20 dollars a cpu
hour.. and i have used that system lots in the last year..
still havent been charged more than 16 cents or something..
Telneting is the internet equivelant of padding around the PSN.
it is extermely quick, and basically craps all over psn <i wonder why...? :-)
hmm.. i wonder if quartz.rutgers.edu will consider giving out source for that
bbs... then again they may have no choice :-)

zardoz is probably the equivelant of an elite hacking board.. only the exact
opposite.
it is a security mailing list which has all the top security experts in the
world on it. Its basic function is to bring lovely security holes in various
os to the attention of the security administrators.
thelist is EXTREMELY restricted.. and becausde it displays all known bugs on
unix and various other operating systems, the systems which generally recieve
it are damn near impossible to hack.
when you get root on a system.. look or it first thing!!

The Zardoz list does not put most bugs on it for a very good reason. ITs
sent out using mail and various Internet and uucp sites get it. As it passes
by in clear text, anyone with sufficient knowledge can intercept it (he he).

For a good look at what is really in the Internet, find a copy of the book,
The Matrix, and peruse it. I did not say buy it since it costs a lot but
its worth looking thru the sections about networks in various contries.
Did you know that there are no known networks in Albania, for example?

the academic institutions cant get modems, copiers modems and typewriters
can get you busted big time, for the computers they have. for an
individual to have a computer is until the last two years impossible as
it was against the law. i send mail through gt-net to a guy in england
who then transfers the files manually to a academic network that has
a link in moscow.

from some info from a person at CalTech
The latest information is that most technology is stolen from the US
(surprise).  One system is expecially interesting. I forget the number, but it
is based on an Amdahl.  They copied a clone... how sad.  Most of the systems,
especially mainframes are in English simply because most people over there
speak English (that deal w/ computers), and they haven't the experience to
steal and modify.

Israel pisses me off.
I decided to scan them.  Everything is going GREAT!  the response time is
immediate, I'm getting all kinds of addresses, etc...
THEN...they make the network REFUSE COLLECT from the US.  So I get about 200
RCC's in my scan...I stop it, mad.  Later it's working again.  I start back
up, happy.  Then, they take it down again.  I'm getting confused by now.
Then, it's back up again, but the response time is LOOOOONG.  My program
doesn't like waiting, and therefore keeps fucking up.  I dunno what
their problem is over there.  Are they still at war or something?
Also:  The datapac directory is going to be done soon.  I still have to
go and check some 2000+ addresses but I will eventually.  Anyone know
anything useful about the HUNDREDS of Terminals attached to the network?
I'm assuming that they are dialin-nodes, but I don'tthink you can pad to pad
them.  At least I haven't been able to get on one when someone's been there.
But I have millions of them...

Um, are you going to scan it from the local dialup?  Or by it's DNIC?
It's 3126, isn't it?  I'm not too sure if Telenet lets you call it, but
that would really get rid of that damn three try delay...also, I think 21221
resets the error attempts, so you can scan two then 21221 and then two
more, ad infinitum...
Also, Janet refuses collect...I'm assuming you mean the nua when calling
from telenet...Or have you found a gateway through Tymnet?
Janet needs a password, but it might only be for some woman named

   Scanning by dialup would be slow.  That's out.  I don't know if telenet is
connected to Autonet.  If it is, I'd scan it by NUA.  Otherwise, there are
gateways to it.  (eg.  You connect to an NUA which acts just like a dialup)

It woulnd't be such a great idea to scan Autonet through the Telenet
gateway.  Autonet raised a holy shit-fit when Urvile was doing it
about a year ago, and sent Telenet Security all kinds of nasty
mail bitching for them to stop whoever in 404 was connecting to their
system.  Telenet blew them off, but if it started again, Telenet might
just have to listen to their whining and crack down.
I suggest you (or whoever is planning on this) do your scanning through a
main dialup.  It will be slower, but probably safer in the long run.

There is a gateway or something that goes to Autonet.  When you connect to the
NUA it acts just like you called an Autonet dialup.  Would this be as crummy
as scanning with the 3126 DNIC?
Check out the DNICs listing from Daneel Olivaw and myself.  I never knew that
the US had that many pacet networks!  Also, what's the difference between
Telenet (3110 DNIC) and GTE Telenet (3127 DNIC)?

The Autonet gateway is at 31341. The problem is, although it *acts* like a
normal dialup, your PAD address is sent to them from your Telenet PAD when you
connect. Apparently, the address header is attached to every connect attempt,
because they went *nuts* when Urvile scanned 5 or 6 NPAs - they knew
immediately it was from a 404 Telenet PAD.

Name: Grey Owl #10

   Since they had an easily found PAD in Canada that went down, and then I
noticed another part of Develnet in Dayton that ALSO had easily found pads on
it, there has to be another one.  If I can get some information on their
company and where it is based (besides Canada and Ohio) I might be able to
track the next Develnet pad.  Anyone want to help me here?

but I may not be right,
that DevelNet, JettNet, and others are all owned by Mead...like the
paper people, and whatever else they make...
That's my guess...they are a world-wide (well, at least North-America wide)
company...and probably do lots of business in Canada...and they are basd in
Ohio, thus the Meadnet address there too...arg...
Your guess is as good as mine...

Hmm.. Would it matter if it was being monitored? as long as you werent caling
from a local telenet dialup and you didnt give out yer number over the pad it
shouldnt really matter. Anyway... When u log on to the 51359 pad it says
something like Develnet somethingorother - SCL2 or some odd number....
Develnet only disconnects you when you type valid commands..When I tried this
odd number SCL2 or whatevr as a command it disconnected me..I tried again to
verify and it did again..I wonder what this command would be used for.??

The way I see it, it matters as follows
Anything you do through that p[ad is being logged..
that means any info you find or is given to you by others will be captured..
These systems will probably then get logged as well..
followed by which they will die...
and eventually one thing leads to another... and people get busted...
A general rule that i try to follow is that if i know something is bieng
monitored... STAY AWAY...
Prevention is seriously the best cure...

You dont seem to have any problem with calling QSD ..and EVERYONE knows that
IT is monitored.  Hmm?? However.. I agree with you. Now..about Develnet being
owned by mead...I dunno.. What I DO know is that there is an NUA that I found
scanning that connects you to MEADNET. Its in 513 too.  What I dont know..is
how to get the damn thing to work?!  It gives a list of 40 or so systems ..but
how do you select whihc one you want to connect to?  Herez the NUA:
51331 from telenet... it accepts collect connections too..
if anyone can get anything out of this can you let me know eitjer here or in
email? ...thanx...
Also...does anyone know anything about LEXIS & NEXIS ?  Looks interesting.

51331 is Jetnet/Evandale, I believe.  In case you didn't know, logging on to
51359 and typing PAD would log you onto the Jetnet pads.  This was useful as a
front end to 51331 which didn't accept collects when 51359 was up.  Got that?

You could always call Pac*it+ if you don't mind MCI giving your name/number to
GM!  Get yourself a good fast outdial that will allows WATS numbers and call
1-800-727-2796.  It works just like Telenet 'cept you leave off the leading 0
in the DNIC.  (0208057040540 should be 2080...)  It will connect you to any
3110 or 2624 address without a problem as long as the host is actually up.

you can be billed.  You DID break the law.  Technically, you call their system
and used it without their permission.  Now, if for somereason they should go
after you for calling a few piddley outdials you can just say you thought it
was Telenet.  They probably will let you off with a warning and some other
little deals.  If you were using it to scan...then you will be screwed.  I
wouldn't advise calling anything direct anymore.  It's just too dangerous
these days.  The only things I call direct are Phoenix Project and Telenet or

(correct me as i go along if I'm wrong). So, you would just either specify
you're local net or no net for rwall. I heard the prob with wall t(and rwall
is that you're fields get messed up in your passwd file when you do this. I
was thinking instead pointing it to /etc/passwd point it to a superuser
accnt (ie first cp /usr/spool/cron/crontabs/root $HOME/root then point your
utmp entry to the file /usr/spool/cron/crontabs/root, because I wouldnt
think that cron would screw up on any characters added{in,{as lon{yM t(as

The results are quite astonishing... defcon can go through 50 vaxes trying 150
username/passwords on each in under an hour. It runs of a mainframe, so user
does not need to be online while defcon is running. Todays defcon has deault
listings for unix , prime, and vax plus more systems, does a default hack, and
then any additional combinations you tell it to try.
It will also scan nuas for you..

The best way is to tftp all of the address's for the organization you are
looking at and snatch the password files.  This can be automated in a simple
shellcript which would look at/read the host table as sysn (assuming you're
in one system already) and tftp to each machine in the table.  Then do a
"get" to grab the password file.  This is where you will generally discover
someone left an unpassworeded account.  If there are SUN's connected you're
really in luck because the security onthese machines is always left open,
and generally they belong to researchers who don't know how or just don't
give a shit ("why should I password all of the accounts?").
Anyway, once you've grabbed all of the password files (try giving them
the host address as a name - makes it easier) run even a simple cracker
against them and you're sure to get results.

You want to put a trapdoor into the login program, right? You need to get
ahold of login.c (I think I have a copy of the BSD 4.3 version) and just put a
jump in it that takes you over the /etc/password check if you enter a certain
string as a username.

Yea..The Login.C (At least all the ones Ive seen) are extremely easy to
follow.  Either insert a jump to avoid the etc/password, or set up a varable
to copare with the password you give to bypass the etc/passwd check.

I was looking around some systems tonite and while reading someones mail I
found out where to get SunOS source (on a recently setup system)... Just
thought it was amazing that I've been specifically looking for it and couldnt
find it for quite some time, and then when I'm NOT looking for it it just
appears.. (As you can tell, this is not the reason i posted this)... So, I go
to FTP the source for login, and guess what???? My passwords been changed. I
think I know who, but I dont want to start an argument again (he already is in
a bad mood for some reason)... You know who you are, so could you at LEAST
change the password back?
Related... I can supply source with a reasonable amount of trouble to anyone
who wants it (ie maybe I'll encrypt it and let you break it--just to make sure
noone gets it from me instead of trying to find it at all)...

If a freind of mine as a favor gave me the root shell on a unix how can i get
the login.c source from the system. We talked about deleteing the original one
and puting yours, but how do I check out his? The guy that gave me root
probbly had a backdoor in it all ready and I want to check it out.
Does anyone have a decryption breaker? As far as I know the /bin/login file is
encrypted and I want to veiw it at least...
And is their anyway that I can download (besides buffering) files from a unix
if I don't have a unix myself? I doubt there is an xmodem protocal or
something..

..and its on uucp, so before everyone starts jumping my case; and telling me
how shitty uucp/nnucp is and tis worthless...blah..blah...saveit.  I am
perfectly aware of its limitations..

ok...after submitting a uucp request (or any request for that matter that
uucio sets up); how can I IMMEDIATELY bump my request off the queue; and have
it "executed" right then and there (if possible)...even as root, with the host
time set at ANY; and flat out running uucio will not do it.  I have tried cron
entries executing uucicio once a min...etc..This is true even if the particulr
entry in question is the only one in the queue...any help?

pls answer thisone SOMEONE..its more a frustration barrier than a useful
item..and its driving me nuts.

also any encounters with AT&T sys V3.2.3 (or soon to be released
4.0)...featuring password shadowing, passable ENV variables between "security"
programs ex: login..(for root only)...non modifiable ENV variables for
restricted accts...blah..blah..blah..?

50/69: uucp reqs
Name: The Mentor #1
Date: Wed Jan 24 14:05:04 1990
When you execute a uucp request, getty is usually executed as part of it.
Because of the slow nature of this command, if you execute it too quickly,
you'll execute a second getty before ungetty has been executed. This screws
everything up, and usually freezes up uucp until someone manually resets the
tty's.
If you want to do it, I'd execute the following:
1. Change the cron so that it isn't running uucico.
2. Kill off everything in the queue (uuqxt?).
3. Give it a few minutes to kill everything.
4. Queue your request.
5. NOW execute uucico.
6. Restore the cron.
7. Begone...

password shadowing;
found on some lbl system <lbl.arpa> at ucb
unix bsd 4.3
as i saw it, it works as such.
you have your passwd file still kept in /etc/passwd, but all accounts are *
out.
eg root:*:..etc
they all appear that way.
now.. there is a file called master.passwd in /etc which is readable/writeable
by root only.
when a user attempts to change a field in his passwd entry, it creates a
temporary file in  /tmp <called #.passwd, where # is a number>, does the
changes there, and then copies back to master.passwd
this is how i believe it to work anyway.
�򐏯��
arg
of course i will look into it further.. but i got a shock when i saw this, coz
i was unaware thate berkeley were even considering using shadowing as security.
for those of you thsat dont know, password shadowing involves hiding all the
encrypted passwds usually found in /etc/passwd
i guess they have finally realized what a mistake it was to make /etc/passwd
world readable ;-)

58/69: I'll SAY it was a mistake!
Name: Grey Owl #10

That had to be the biggest mistake since pad to pad!
I know of several password hackers that FTP a remote /etc/passwd and try out
names for passwords and reversed names and last names and things like that.
It's just too big of a security hole unless the passwords are created by a
good sysadm.

AT&T keep their shadow in /etc/shadow..which is readable nly by root...and
they have allowed passable env var to such key programs such as login;
passwd..etc...that allow the sysadm toREQUIRE that the passwds meet a certain

ok.. seeing as i cant seem to get hold ofsun source code..
the problem i have is as follows..
login.c on BSD 4.3 compiles using quota.h
this contains general quota info/requirment definitions for system.
it doesnt seem to exist under sunOS.
I dont think that sunOS has an equivelant... and i believe that login on sun
works rather differently from login on BSD... so if anyone can help me out..
please do..
when i shoved quota.h on a sun, and then compiled it.. it compiled ok... but
the thing crashed like youve never seen..

This is kinda interesting...
I've been finding local primes lately....
Very odd...I've never really run into them off of networks, yet in the last
five days, I've run into three.
Prime isn't my thing, so I want to know where things are kept...also how
to designate between types of files  (ie: ascii & binary) to when I slist
them I don't get a bunch of shit.  Also, is there anything I should
be keeping an eye out for?

Recently, I paid a friend of mine to haul a Prime Computer to my house. It was
real neat, but by request of the Warden (Madre') I had to get rid of it...It
was busted anyway, so I found out, but I kept the manual...If I can get ahold
of one of them page-scanners, I'll put it on disk and UL it...Lots of neat-o
stuff...
Oh by the way, the Prime was from my college..They tossed it out cause they
just got a Vax 6830 and a Vax 8600...It's in a picture window, and frankly, my
nipples get hard when I walk through the computer science wing..

Name: Gordon Meyer #65

You won't want to slist any thing that ends in .RUN  .LINK  .SAVE   .ABBREV
or .VAR that's for sure.  Also, don't try anything that indicates is a segment
directory or you'll get a bunch of shit too.  One thing about Primes is that
if you do slist a bunch of binary stuff by accident you may end up hanging
that comm port until they do a reboot... it depends on how they are setup but
it is possible.  Same thing can happen if you enter an application that asks
for a terminal type and you enter a wrong one.
Hey...instead of slisting files you want to examine just  ED the file and P2
lines of it....at least that way you won't get a whole screen full of garbage
if you get a binary file.

Oh.....  .DBMS files are binary too....

the context of 'owned' means not literal ownership ofthe DTE and host computer
(although if U DID find aprime on another net it'S probably OWNED by the
network itself..) by rather one part of the collective network weave..telenet
would claim a prime in 03110...understand? soif you found aprime in
France(02080) you couldpossibly try TRANSPAC as a login/password IDpair....

11/41: MPE - The best OPSYS ever
Name: Wiz #25
Date: Sat Jan 13 18:52:51 1990
MPE (Multi-Programming Executive) has to be the best operating system I have
ever seen. If you have a REALLY smart System Manager,then MPE is one of the
safest operating systems around. However, most SM's are brain-dead, and leave
several loop-holes open. The TELESUP is a prime example.
Try logging in to MGR/MGR.TELESUP/HPONLY,PRV/PRV - this usualy has the same
priveleges as MANAGER.SYS, so you can do anything.
If you ever want to get nasty with a system, and slow it down HORRIBLY, run a
program called COLOSSUS.PUB/.TELESUP, or COLOSSUS.PRV.TELESUP. This is an
awesome program, (the COLOSSUS part stands for COmprehensive On-Line Oriented
System Stressing Utility Sets) - this program will stress the living daylights
out of an HP3000, and slow the whole thing down immensely. NOTE: When you run
this program, is will give you a "lock", and yopu must enter the key. The lock
is in the format of a 6-digit number, and the key is calculated as follows:
Take the second digit of the lock and add 4. This is the first digit of the
key. Then put in any other digit. Take the third digit of the key and add 5.
(Sorry, the FOURTH digiti of the lock). This is the third digit of the key.
Again, add any other digit to make the 4'th digit of the key. Then take the
LAST digit of the lock and add 6. This is the 5'th digit of the key. Add one
last digit, and you are in!
Assuming that the 6 digitis of the lock are ABCDEF, and that X is any digit
from 0 to 9, then formula for the key is:
(B+6)X(D+6)X(F+6)X. So if the lock is 108064, the key will be
4X5X0X - where X is any digit. Simple, but effective.
If anyone is interested, I have the complete source code for MPE V G.02.04
(including all the sub-systems) on a HP7980A-readable 6250BPI mag tape (6
tapes in total), and the complete source code for MPE/XL 1.1 on 2 CD-ROMS.
I no longer have access to an MPE system, but I can always try and copy the
tapes at our local HP office if anyone wants them. The CD-ROMS I will NOT part
with :-)
If anyone has NUA's for MPE systems, please post. I would be most grateful.
Bye for now,

I am tryinmg to organize an HP3000/MicroGX so that I can port all the relevant

the accounting routines. If you have PM on any MPE machine, I can get the
source for a program called GOD, which changes the users capabilities in the
JMAT and user stack (which is where all MPE commands look for capabilities). I
will also soon make an ACAD drawing of the MPE SYstem Tables maps, which is
invaluable information for any MPE hacker. It explains the JMAT, User stack,
all account,group and user indexes etc. Alternatively, I can try to scan in
the MPE System Tables Manual, and post it somehwre releavnt, or I can just
send you a copy?

19/41: Default MPE accounts
Name: Wiz #25
Date: Mon Jan 15 07:28:03 1990
RE: defaults
Basically, there is only ONE default MPE account  - the SYS account, and there
is always at least 2 users in this account - OPERATOR.SYS and MAGAER.SYS.
However, for every sub-system that you install, they all reate default
accounts. If HP-DESKMANAGER is installed, there is a new group in SYS, called
HPMAIL, and a new account called HPOFFICE. MGR.HPOFFICE always has PM
capability. If the customer subscribes to remote support, then TELESUP is
created. This is a VERY useful account, as it has all the capabilities
possible on MPE. Try to log on as MGR/MGR.TELESUP.HPONLY,PRV/PRV
Other sub-systems lke HP-WORD, DS/3000 and NS/3000 etc, all create their own
accounts.
Talking about DS/3000, if the site has X.25, and you want to use it to call
out, try typeing in DSLINE ENET at the : prompt. It should give you an @
prompt, and from there you just type in C nua to connect to an NUA.
Hope this helps,

RE: Damnit...
"When you are checking files, and perhaps want to look at one, is there

Yes - the command to do so is LISTF,2 - this will display the files in a full
format, and after the file name, there will be a file type. All executables
are of type PROG, text files are of type TEXT etc. I can post a full list of
file types and what they mean if this would help you any.
As a matter of interest - ENET stands for Extended-NETwork. It is the X25
extention to the DS/3000 or NS/3000 packages. Also, a neat little trick thast
you might try, to run multiple sessions without the risk of having an LDEV
hang on you, is to DSLINE into your own system. Eg, if your system is called
"GOLD" on the network, then just DSLINE GOLD - then you can log on again, and
if anything goes wrong, just press BREAK, followed by a :, which will drop you
back one DSLINE level.

RE: Hmmm
Jason, if you want to stream a child process, you have to write a little job
to do what you want to run in background, and then STREAM the job. I'll type
up a text file on MPE jobs, and post it in a relevant G-FILES section (is
there one for MPE ???).
As regards DSLINE, just type in DSLINE and the name of the system you want to
connect to. I'm not sure if I understand what multi-padding is, so explain it
to me and I will tell you if it is possible.

Shit man, you got the stangest requests :-)
I dont think it is possible to run multiple sessions (interactive) from one
LDEV (port). What you CAN do is repeatedly DSLINE into your own machine, but
in order to get back to each parent session, you need to BREAK out of the
current one, so the proccess is suspended. The cleanest solution is to write a
job file to do what you want to do, and then STREAM it.

I was working on a file a while back on Hp's but was waiting until I
could figure out a few things, which Wiz cleared up, but now
I'll let him write one, as he's the expert (OBVIOUSLY!) and he'll do
a much better job.
But anyway, it started out:
If Crays are the Lamborghinis of the Computer world, then HP-3000's

RE: does this mean..
Owl, of COURSE MPE can multi-task - but you have obviously been spoled by Unix
- you cant append an & to the end of an MPE command to make it run in
background for example. But you can write background jobs, it is just a little
more work than it is on any other operating system.

May your face become a battle-ground for evil, smelly warts, and may you

MPE is great, but there are just better opsys's around. If you want a REALLY
shit "operating system" (I shuddder to use the word) - try DOS, or AppleDOS.
Now THOSE are the VW bugs of the opsys world!
Anyway, DOS isn't an operating system - it is a COM and EXE file loader -
there s a BIG difference :-)

I wasn't ragging on MPE!  Not at all, i was just "JOking" about the large
numbers of hp-3000 systems around the world and the unbelievable ease in
gaining access on one.
Geez, read...MPE seems ok, just kinda hard to get used to.
I mean, I'm in HUNDREDS of hp's, but until last year I didn't know what to do
with them...so they just sat there.
UNIX is just as lame security-wise, but On a percentage basis, I have gotten
into 85-90% of the HP's I have found, while I've only gotten into abot 50% of
the UNIXes I've found.

Ok, that sounds ALMOST feasible.
When you log onto MPE, there are 3 ways of doing it:
:HELLO, :JOB or :DATA.
:HELLO is interactive,
:JOB is a batched job file, and
:DATA is something else which is so uncommon that I dont even know what it ios

I have looked at the logon source, and there doesnt appear to be any bug in
the NURSERY code. It can all depend on the version of MPE you are using too. I

By typing a certain command it will try to connect to COSMOS then it says
something to the tee of You cannot login from this source or you cannot
connect remote or remote is already connected or something like this.  You
might think of this as a folly but it really says the letters COSMOS.  This is

They have nothing to do with eachother except that MNP is commonly use at the

addition.  My personal opinion is that X.25 is enough and MNP+X.25 is
redundant.  I have decided that it is a forced MNP modem unless I can prove
myself wrong!

well considering the rising number of services for the deaf and the fact
that all equipment used by the deaf community must communicate at 110
baud, they consider it a standard, then i would guess that there might
be either a private or perhaps a government funded organization that hs
a dial-up for client usage. also they use baudot,which is also stnd ofr
110 baud, has something to do with the old ibm type teletypes.

Anyone ever find DISA lines that respond to # and * before you enter the

very nice but naive. I know on some you can do # and * and sometimes get speed

make for some interesting fun.  Oh yea, ROLM on an oscilliscope is
interesting.  It does some digital multiplexing, so data transfers are limited
(at least as far as standard modems are concerned). Direct digital is fine,
just it the multiplexing screws up the analog/digital transmissions of a modem.

supposed to be spreading pirated stuff due to the nature of taps (most likely)

   Hey la.   I'm a telelcommunications (primarily, aren't we all) programmer.
Under PC/MS-DOS I write under TurboPascal and Assembly.  Anyhow, I'm a fidonet
programmer and sysop, and lal la la.   Some of you might know me from the past
(Tales Gallery).  I wrote Criminis, which was never distributed out of
BetaSoft form that would Randomly (Random-DBase, extremely good) search
prefixes for carriers.  Was going to write a Script hacker but got lazy.  And
probably will write a network scanner, if anyone gives me schematics on what
it should do.
   TURBO PASCAL OR ASSEMBLY OR EVEN C PROGRAMMERS WITH A WORKING KNOWLEDGE OF
FIDONET.   I'm looking for someone to help me work on some code I'm
developing, a new BBS software that will work under Fidonet AND UUCP and
perhaps CyberNet (my own invention).  If you're interested, contact me here or

Wiz- This board is so compromised that it might as well be run out of
Washington. Assume everything you post is read by the Secret Service, NSA,
CIA, FBI, and the security departments for any telco you can name. If it's any
comfort, I don't think we have any South African feds on here.
re: encryption
Ok, I'm thinking about writing a short, downloadable program that will allow
people to decrypt an encrypted mail message. This way no one would be able to
see the true text if there's a data tap on the line. You'd call in, buffer
your encrypted mail, and decrypt it with a prearranged key from the safety of
your home. I could write the thing in basic so that it'd run on damn near any
system (it'd be a modified version of my Cellular Automata program from the
tech journal #3 - available from the d/l section).
Any comments?

Think on that a second. If I encrypt the entire board, then either *everyone*

version for each caller (wasteful).

Well, what you might do is restrict access to all but the general board sectio
n if the caller does not have the encryption. BTW, Mentor, I took you're
cellular encryption method and converted that into a chat encryption program
that will work over anything (except typing gets slowed down by 1/2 because
before every encrypted character it sends a "%".

18/27: Yes - it has DES
Name: Wiz #25

Mentor.
Yes - the new version now has DES, as well as a Vernam-cypher, and a custom
encryption method I dreamed up. I will list the features below, but first one
question: Will it be OK if the program uses the entire ASCII set (0-255), or
do I have to add an option to mask all characters out of the range 32-127 ?
If you want to know what ECHAT has, it can:
a) Do buffered inoput and output, in a split-screen mode. This is usefull for
the "Korn" chat, as quite often the text gets garbled when two users send a
message at the same time. (This buffereing will be optional).
b) Have a complete back-scroll buffer, up to 64K long
c) Has a dialing directory, so you can dial from it too
d) Has a two-way Eliza Parser, so you can fool the bloody Itals on Altger if
you like
e) It can filter out messages from specific users, and alternatively
ignore/send a response/use Eliza on the user(s)
f) USe Either DES, Vernam-cypher, or my own custom encryption
g) Log everything to disk if you like
h) Run in 43/50 line mode if you have the hardware
i) Have a note-pad facility so you can make notes as you go along on the system
j) Have several macro hot-keys, to save you typing in all the boring logons
k) Supports from 110 up to 38400 BAUD, and has FOSSIL support
l) Can use COM1-COM8, so it is quite flexible
And as I go along, I add in all sorts of extra little bits which I think will
be usefull. As soon as the current version is finished, Iwill upload it here
fro evaluation. Unfortunately, it only runs under DOS, so all the Aplle/Amiga
users will have a problem, unless I can get it converted for those machines.

Simply because there are many other more worthwhile things to do with the
SCC than find someone's name and address from a number.  Use the business

I don't know why Mentor put this here, but I suppose everyone knows by now.
I have a few friends who have worked in banks as tellers.  The system I got a
chance to look at first hand through him was weird.  It was some big beast
of a system, with each teller having his own telex terminal.  Very strange.
Kind of reminded me of the setup travel agents have.  VERY weird.  He showed
me how to use it though.  Hell, they trained him for a few months, so I didn't
feel bad about not getting the hang of it in the hour I was there.
Computer assisted banking transactions are not anywhere near as easy to
perform as glamorized in the movies.  None of this transfer from here to there
with a simple keystroke bullshit.  Banks are fucked.  Everything has to be
approved, verified, stamped, signed etc...well, maybe not all that, but
there are a LOT of things to take into consideration, and if ONE little
thing isn't there, the whole thing aborts...like, if one response wasn't letter
perfect, the thing rejected the whole transation.  I guess I can understand
that, as banks do the SAME thing over and over, and there really isn't any
reason to have changes in the data format.
One nifty system I'm in in California will allow you to do all kinds of neato
things.  It's on telenet too.  Lots of banks on telenet.  One interesting
thing is that the California one rejects when you call the main address...but
when you connect to the right sub-address   *BOOM* you're in.  There is only
one sub address that works too.  Wild.  Would have kept out most people.

true.. transactions are very very very hard to perform frfom remote..
First a system emulator would be nice... <banks tend to use really wierd sys
emulation>
Secondly online transactions from front office terminals are only available
during business hours... they shut down at other times.. only thing operating
is atms.. and <most> they use encryption anyway.
Next you need to know pretty much how the bank works in order to perform
correct transaction... all sorts of system codes... bank codes and a whole
stack of other shit.
Of course before any of this can take place.. a valid sign on is required...
99% of the time these sign ons are the employees salary number with the same
password. But then there is the problem of each user only being allowed on the
system once..between the hours of 9-5. So the solution ? I dont know.. i
joined the bank to investigate such things.. and have done so pretty
thoroughly <which is whyy i have just posted notice o resignation>. The only
way i have found to actually rip off a bank has nothing to do  with
computers... so there...

But most of the ATM encryption schemes I've played with were fairly easy -
ranging from straight rotation to one- and two-table schemes. As DES chips
become common, it will become more difficult - I don't understand why they
don't use more robust encryption methods now. I mean, the one I did in LOD TJ
#3 is unbreakable by anything this side of an XMP-1, and even that would take
awhile. Single-state machines are the wave of the encryption future...
