Anyway, the basic scam techniques in my "Beginner's Guide to the Computer Underground", combined with the techniques presented here, provide a deadly arsenal allowing the skilled crook an unlimited license to steal anything his/her heart desires. I'd like to start off this article with a fascist tirade about the disgusting stuff the media/advertisers are doing with credit card fraud these days. The reasons for this are many, and one is that I've talked to many beginning carders in the past, who stopped doing it because they felt they were hurting the people whose cards they were using. This is utterly and totally incorrect... ->[Raving Fascist Mode On]<- The way the media and advertisers have been playing on people's fear of being ripped off lately is totally appalling to me. Here is my favorite example: Have you all seen that new CitiBank TV commercial? The one for the "Picture Visa Card"? Well, anyway, if you haven't here's a brief synopsis: [Benevolent CitiBank Announcer]: "Did you know that there are some absolutely vile and horrible people out there who might steal your credit card and use it illegally? That's right! Let's talk to Mr. Johnson, whose card was used illegally. Mr. Johnson?" [Poor Stupid Mr. Johnson]: "Yeah, man, someone got my credit card and used it to buy $10,000 worth of stuff. Now I live in a cardboard box, my car got repossessed, my wife left me, my kids killed themselves, and I'm totally fucked!" [Benevolent CitiBank Announcer]: "Well, that certainly sucks Mr. Johnson. But did you know that if you had had a CitiBank Picture Visa Card (C) (tm), that could never have happened! Your picture is right on the card, so there's no way anyone could ever use it but you!" [Poor Stupid Mr. Johnson]: "Wow, you mean if I only had a CitiBank Picture Visa Card (C) (tm), this would have never happened?" [Benevolent CitiBank Announcer]: "Yes, that's right! Don't let this happen to you! Get your..." Yeah, BULLSHIT. Let me tear this ridiculous commercial crap apart, piece by piece: [a] Federal Law says that you're not responsible for purchases you never made, and since Mr. Johnson never made those purchases, he ain't liable. Of course, as usual, you have to FIGHT for those rights, but it ain't hard. Of course the card issuer WANTS to get you to pay, but you don't have to. [b] 95% of all credit card fraud DOES NOT, repeat, DOES NOT involve use of the physical card, it's done through mail order, so HOW THE FUCKING HELL CAN HAVING YOUR UGLY PICTURE ON THE FUCKING CARD STOP THIS TYPE OF FRAUD? HUH? THAT'S RIGHT: IT FUCKING CAN'T! Gee, guys, ya don't REALLY think CitiBank is acting in it's own interests here do ya? Nawwww... This commercial sensationalizes the whole thing and plays people's fears TO THE HILT. IT IS SICK! I'm planning to re-do the commercial and get it on public access cable... [Money-Grubbing CitiBank Corporate Lackey]: "Did you know that there are some absolutely vile and horrible people out there who might steal your credit card and use it illegally? That's right! Let's talk to Mr. Pazuzu, whose card was used illegally. Mr. Pazuzu?" [Evil CardHolder Damien Pazuzu]: "Yeah, so fucking what? Some smart-ass hacker got my CC number, used it, and got some cool shit. I don't care. I got the bill for $15,000, and I threw it in the fucking garbage. In fact, here's my card number, for anyone who needs anything: 4128 0950 1493 0666 0666! Fuck you all! When they called asking for the money, I just said "Hey - LICK MY FUCKING BALL-SACK, YOU FILTHY SNATCH! I didn't make the fucking purchases on the fucking card, and I don't give a fucking fuck, just claim it on yer fucking insurance, slut, I ain't paying a fucking DIME!" [Money-Grubbing CitiBank Corporate Lackey]: "Uh, err, sorry folks, due to technical difficulty, this commercial will be broadcast at a later date... Mr. Pazuzu is a 5150 patient, don't listen to him..." .... ->[Raving Fascist Mode Off]<- Sorry, that just HAD to be said. On with the article... NOTE: Some (if not all) of the scams in this article take time. However, the return on investment is easily more than 10-to-1, so have patience. Some of them require the use of someone who is over 18 (if you yourself aren't), and some also require spending a little money, but, as I said, the return is easily 10-to-1, so just bear with it, and you'll be very happy in the end. These scams also have the benefit of being basically virgin, as only I and a select few others are doing them. There are some things that you may need in the use of these scams, and I want to tell you about them now, so you can start thinking about them (if not actually getting them). They are... [a] A beige box - These are unbelievably useful, and everyone should have one. Get (or make) one NOW. [b] A bogus business name - Think up a good one. It should be kinda high-tech sounding and make SURE it sounds legit. [c] Business Cards - With the aforementioned bogus business name on them, and a name NOT YOUR OWN. These are very useful, and will only cost you like $20 per thousand. [d] Purchase Order Forms - With the bogus business name as well. P.O.'s are exceptionally useful. [e] A Post Office Box - This is not a necessity, but, for $36 a quarter, you too can have an unlimited license to steal. They never check names, so you can have a box in any name you like. [f] Mail-Forwarding Cards - These are another terribly useful item everyone should have. You can use them to forward from a bogus address to your PO box, or your house, so you can give out addresses (on BBS's) like "666 W 19th St, Suite 1313, Costa Mesa, CA, 92627", and the mail will get to you. You can also use them to forward OTHER people's mail. More on that later. You can get these at any post office, and they're FREE. Get lots. [g] Phone Lines - The More the Merrier - You NEED at least one, for the "business", and you should ALWAYS answer it saying "Good , thank you for calling !", or something similar. This would be the number to put on the business cards & P.O. forms. Also, you should at least have access to one other one (even if it's a friend's), because some places are going to want bank references when you P.O. from them, and you just give them the OTHER bogus number, which should them be answered with the bank name you gave. Use a bogus bank name, like "First Bank of ". If you need a bank reference phone number, I can help with that, contact me at Minas Morgul. These are the basic advanced scammer's tools. Start getting them now, or at least THINK about the bogus business name, because everyone knows businesses never steal... Yeah, I know, getting all this stuff comes to a little over a hundred bucks, but I've gotten over $5,000 worth of stuff using those tools, and the techniques I'm revealing to you, so I consider it WORTH IT. Now, on with techniques... Advanced Card Number Acquisition Techniques ------------------------------------------- The wise carder will always keep an eye on what houses are up for sale near him. You see, often times a house takes around 6-7 months to sell, sometimes even longer. This offers a great opportunity to card WITH TOTAL IMPUNITY! What you do is keep tabs on what's for sale around you. There are many ways to do this - the easiest is to look for "for sale" signs, but the newspapers and local Real Estate rags are good sources too. The second a house goes up for sale, keep watch on all outgoing mail from that house. When the house is almost sold, the family living there will INVARIABLY (if they have a fucking brain) forward their mail with a Magic Mail Forwarding Card. DO NOT LET THE CARD GO OUT! Take it and DESTROY IT! Also, they'll probably send a note to their CC companies telling them about the move, destroy those too. After the family moves, they'll think everything's peachy-keen. However, all their mail will still be going to their old house, which is now yours (basically). NOTE: After a house is sold and the old family moves out, there's almost always 2-3 weeks (at least) before the new one moves in. This is when you must STRIKE. You now have access to an empty house (read: DROP SITE), and THE CREDIT CARD NUMBERS OF THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE! My GOD! The company you card from will NEVER catch on, since you're ordering it to the address on the account. Be sure to make the house look un-vacant, as UPS isn't is stupid as everyone thinks. HINT: Usually, the "For Sale" sign (especially when the "sold" is added) makes it look REAL vacant. Lose the sign. Anyway, you now have carded something with someone's credit card TO THEIR HOUSE (as far as the CC company knows anyway). This mix-up will take forever to solve, especially when you consider the cardholder IS NOT GETTING HIS MAIL. This is like taking candy from a baby. Many carders think that the old "Social Engineering" method of getting card numbers, wherein you call someone at random saying you're the bank and you want to verify their card number, is dead. Well, for the most part it is. NOT. You just have to rethink it... [Evil Carder Damien Pazuzu]: "Hello, Mrs. Jones, this is Rob Banks with ShittyBank. How are you this ?" [Stupid Credit Card Fraud Victim Mrs. Jones]: "I'm fine. And you?" [Evil Carder Damien Pazuzu]: "Oh, I'm fine. Listen, we're doing our yearly audit, and we noticed that our computer did something real weird. You're listed as having two accounts! This is no problem, and we want to delete the second account, but all the transactions are duplicated across the accounts. Which card are you using? 4128 0950 1493 0000 0000, right?" [Stupid Credit Card Fraud Victim Mrs. Jones]: "No, I'm using 4128 XXXX XXXX XXXX." [Evil Carder Damien Pazuzu]: "Ok, thank you for helping us! We'll delete the other right now. Have a nice !" [Stupid Credit Card Fraud Victim Mrs. Jones]: "Thanks, you too!" [Evil Carder Damien Pazuzu]: "SUCKER!" Trust me, this works. Purchase Order Fraud Revisited ------------------------------ In "Beginner's Guide to the Computer Underground", I briefly described how to rip off companies by using fake purchase orders. I felt the subject deserved more attention, so here we go... First off, a Purchase Order is simply an easy way for a company to buy something from another company. They don't have to send cash or a check, then wait, they just fax a PO, and then get the stuff, then (usually) 30 days later, they're billed for it (this is called "net 30 terms" in case it's ever mentioned), then they send the money. Most companies that sell shit accept purchase orders, including USRobotics, Zoom Telephonics, Conner, Maxtor, etc, etc, etc. This is where the whole "bogus company" concept I talked about in the "tools" section at the beginning comes in. You will need the PO forms mentioned there, and they must look decent, as even though you will fax the first copy, you'll have to send an "original" after the fax copy, at least on the first run anyway. You can either have them printed at a print shop (like Kinko's), or get generic PO forms at a stationery store, and photocopy your bogus company name onto them. The print shop method is far better, but costs money. Take your pick. The basic trick here is to make first contact with your victim company, and be VERY friendly with their Sales Weasel. The first time out, order something small, under $50 if possible. Most companies don't even care if they lose $50, so they'll always send the stuff. Type up the PO, fax it, then mail the original. You'll get the stuff, and when you do PAY THE FUCKING PO. I said to order something small, so it shouldn't cost much, just PAY THE DAMN THING. Then like two weeks after you've paid it, call back your sales person, and order the REAL thing you wanted in the first place. You already have a reputation of paying, and paying quick, so they'll almost always send it. If they don't, either move on, or order another small item, pay for it, and try again. Anyway, once they do send the real item you want, DON'T PAY FOR IT (obviously), and you're a happy man/woman/other. Also, don't ever try to use the same place twice, unless you like jail. PO Fraud is the Third Wave of Scamming, in my opinion, the First Wave being carding, the Second Wave being check fraud. Catch the Third Wave now! Little Tidbits of Info ---------------------- 1. I am now selling genuine PaZ Brand beige boxes. For a mere $45, you can have the finest beige box available. Send money to: P.O. Box 3195, H.B., CA, 92605-3195. Upon receipt, I'll ship your beige box right out. Don't miss out! You NEED a beige box, why not get the BEST?!!?!?? 2. The P.O. Box I mentioned that you should get in the "tools" section is an unlimited license to rip off magazines. Get ALL the mags you want, and NEVER pay! names, so you can have a box in any name you like. [f] Mail-Forwarding Cards - These are another terribly useful item everyone should have. You can use them to forward from a bogus address to your PO box, or your house, so you can give out addresses (on BBS's) like "666 W 19th St, Suite 1313, Costa Mesa, CA, 92627", and tburglar.txt 644 16626 62 15134 5437257360 6420 04/20/93 - DnA ( Death n' Anarchy) written by: Luke revised: 5/4/93 The Stainless Steel Rat Perfection On Breaking And Entering aka Residential Burglary Materials Needed: 1. Bolt Cutter 2. Wire Cutters 3. Flathead and Phillip Screwdriver 4. House 5. a few friends (Really Really REALLY CLOSE ONES) 6. atleast 1 set of walkie talkies or cb's (Optional) 7. Tape 8. Superglue 9. Rent-A-Car Under False ID - (Optional) 10. Fake ID For Above (Optional) Procedure: This article was originally written by Luke, and revised by The Stainless Steel Rat. I, TSSR, am revising this article and can assure that it works. I've personally done break in's, here on out named "BK". I've done more than 5 less then 10 before I got caught. I will personally assure you that I got caught, not from doing anything wrong, but one FUCK head I was with, had someone turn us in. Well enough of that. On with what you've been waiting for. The first thing you probably would have wanted to do by now is found yourself a house. If you haven't done that yet, listen to people who are talking. Of course you don't have to like them, but you'll wanna know who's going on vacation, or who's parents are leaving, etc.. Then you'll wanna get all ready. Obtain as many of the Required materials we've listed and then you should be all set. Your best bet would be to case the house you have in mind. Make sure you know when and where they always are and if they're going on vacation, make sure you know when they'll be back and any info about house-sitters. If the house you're going to hit has an alarm system, this shouldn't be a problem. Most houses have an advertisement for the alarm they have for information. Simply call that number and ask general questions. Then work your way to their type of alarm systems. Ask them a question like this..."I've got a friend who told me that they've got this new type of alarm system that can radio the police instead of using the telephone lines. How much do one of those run?" or something to that effect. If they do have one, then, you'll want to see if it's a silent alarm or not. If it isn't and you see one of those alarm boxes on the outside of the house. DON'T DO IT. Better be safe then sorry. If it is a silent one or if they don't even got one, you're set. Make sure you have superglue on all you fingers, so as to not lose flexibility and to hide fingerprints. You'll never want those nasty things around. Now on with the house. All the houses in my area have telephone boxes (cans) on the side of their house besides the one at the end of the street. They're little green things shaped like this: figure 1: ____________________________ | | | Telephone Symbol | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ about 1 1/2 feet long and maybe 5 inches wide. You'll need to unscrew this box with a flathead, most likely, but it might be a phillips. Once opened you should see a box somewhat like this: figure 2: | | <-- thick tannish wire | | |~~~~~~| <-- tannish box with black underbelly. | | |______| The tan box and black box should separate. You should now see green and red wires. If you've got a beige box, you can have fun, otherwise cut all the wires, here and anywhere else in this little box. Some houses have more than one line, so they'll have two of those tan boxes. Be sure all the lines are shredded. Your next choice of action will be to go into the garage. Find where the alarm box is on the outside of the garage or the inner part of the roof. Alot of houses don't have electric garage openers on there garage. If you've got one with a 3rd car garage, cut the brackets off, not the lock. The lock is usually secured the part over the bracket. figure 3: --|---+|+--- <-- latch ^ ||| <-- over bracket ^ ^ brackets If one of these doesn't exist, then you'll have to find your own way into the garage. You HAVE to get in there if there is a NON-SILENT ALARM. Otherwise get in through the backyard, a window or some shit like that. Once the alarm is off. You're fucking set. Once in the garage however, you'll wanna trace the lines of the box outside, inside and jack up those wires. So if the alarm isn't silent and it goes off...well you know nothing's gonna honk. Well now you know how to get around the alarm and basically that's all you need from me. Use the tape to break windows more silently. Tape the window as much as possible and just hit it. Once in the house, get whatever the fuck you want, and if you want drive out with their cars using spare keys. Drive the cars ONLY if they are on vacation, and be SURE to ditch 'em by the NEXT morning. Like I said, better to be safe then sorry. You don't want a felony on your record like me. The rent-a-car comes in at the beginning of the whole thing. It's just so that if anyone does get a plate down of a car seen there, it'll be found as rented and the person's ID won't be legit, so hey..FUCK IT. Rent-A-Cars are about 20-40 bucks a day, so you can do it if you want. You'll want the CB's/Walkie Talkies, so you can have one of your ment positioned up the street to let you know if you have to bone out. Always have a RUNNING escape route planned before hand. You'll ALWAYS want to know as mcuh about the house you're BK'ing before you BK it, or you're probably gonna get phucked, and that just shouldn't happen. NEVER use real names in the middle of the JOB, and of course you'll want to look as NON-conspicuous as possible. Just don't BK my house and I'll be happy. The best to do are the gun-owners. Those are always easy to sell to the GANG market, or the more "elite" of the H/P. I'm using the real meaning of "elite", not the one the "Warez" people use. Alot of the true hacks and shit, are involved in more than computers and a gat is more than welcome. Take it from me. It's comforting to have in those gang-infested areas, when guys talk shit because you looked at his shoe or something. Well enough of that....We hope this wraps up what you need to know. If anything seems confusing, give me a line anywhere you find me which isn't much. Community service takes up alot of ones time (and so does a girlfriend). I Hope to next write a Check/Credit Card Scamming article. Hope to hear more from me soon..Laters..

This "Intro to DnA" was basically my idea. I thought I'd have everyone in the group write a little something about themselves, just to let you all know what's up with us. This is our first issue, and we're very interested in hearing what everyone thinks, so if you read this, please call up one of our Member Systems (they're listed in a separate article), and let us know! ABOUT THE READER PROGRAM: Yeah, I know, I know, the reader isn't a |<-wR/-\|> hi-color, soundblaster supported, elite-0 reader. However, we don't care. We believe a magazine is about articles, not about flashy readers. It's fine if you want to spend all your time on a reader, and almost none on the articles, but that's not what we're into. We want to provide quality articles, and that takes time. Also, I run a BBS, which is the 714 hub for two worldwide networks, as well as an Internet/UUCP/Usenet site, PLUS I program professionally 8 hours a day. So, if the reader isn't all you hoped, just remember: Our articles ARE the best quality available, because we concentrate on the ARTICLES, not the READER. On with the intro. ************************************************************* * Pazuzu: The Daemonlord, SysOp of Minas Morgul/Daemonsgate * ************************************************************* I consider myself one of the Old Gods of the Underground. I do this partially out of arrogance (20%), and partially because it's justified (80%). I started the computing addiction 12 years ago (I was 10), when my grandmother gave me a Commodore 64 for Christmas. I immediately took to it, and started writing games in BASIC. Soon after this, I realized BASIC was a bit slow (yeah, right, toooooo slooooowww), so I grabbed a book on 6502 Assembly and was on my way. Back in the Commodore days, everyone pirated everything, and no one ever considered it "elite", the wares were just there for the taking. No big deal. Well, some years later (hell, I don't remember EXACTLY how many), I got an Amiga 500, and a *modem*... You, of course, know what THAT led to. I had fun with Amiga, which forced me to learn C, which I also learned from a book. When I turned 18, I moved out, and got my first IBM Cl0ne. By the time like July (I think) 1989 rolled around, my BBS first went on-line as Motel 666. This BBS eventually became rather popular in the phreak/hack world. I and The Drop Site were definitely the two most active p/h BBS's in Southern California, and possibly the country. Around June 1990, I got involved with Project Revolution (a long-since-dead BBS software), and started the STILL CONTINUING chain Revolution-Revelation-Shroom/Carnage-Melange/Uncanny. My BBS has been up and down (and up and down and up and down) since then, due in large part to moving, legal problems, and financial problems. But, the machine I have now is legit, and Minas Morgul/Daemonsgate is here to stay. Underground-wise, my specialty is scams. On my first carding run, my take was two TI TravelMate 2000 notebooks with 2 megs RAM each, and the 2400 modem/9600 fax option for each. Back then, each one was $3500 a piece. That's 7k. Not bad for first run... I also dabble in phreaking (mostly just code-jockeying), and anarchy as well, since I live in Little Tijuana. I am also a UNIX freak. I'd like to say "HI!" to the following: The Thief, The Boozer, N Sult/D ToX, Oolon Colluphid/Caramon Majere, Lady in Black, Midnight Sorrow, Claudia de Lioncourt/Sweet Thang, and Xiguli. "FUCK YOU!!!'s" go out to: Griffag and Elrond Halfelven p.s. - Data: I'm glad you're dead, Tay, you putz. -=Arclight=- 4-27-93 Well, gentle reader, I suppose you have been wondering just what kind of people are responsible for this chaotic collection of 0's and 1's we call DnA, so here goes. My handle, as you know, is Arclight. I've been in the computer scene for going on 5 years now, and I've been BBS'ing for for the last 3. My hacking mentality has been with me all my life; I've always been on the lookout for ways to play with the system, to defeat the bureaucracy. Anyway, all I have to say is keep your eyes open, realize how silly life is and take advantage of it, and if your going to hell and in a handbasket anyway, enjoy the ride!

I'm sure by now everyone in the groups is pissed that I've taken so long, but oh well... Here's the intro that I needed to write up about me. I started bbs'ing about 5 years ago. About a month after I got my first modem, I tried to put up a board. Ever since then I was on and off with a board. Eventually about 3 years ago, I met Pazuzu where we went on a joint effort developing a BBS software which I currently am still doing. (Check out Uncanny BBS today) Anyways... I'm still in school, doing the school thing pulling a decent GPA and shit, so well I don't got shitloads of time to write articles. I started the h/p scene around the time I met Pazuzu and since then I've been progressing and learning just like we want everyone else to do. I'm now the world's most famous hacker or even a great one at all, but I dibble dabble on the System 75 and CBI scene. A little about my crime history would reveal a lawsuit in April '92 for code hacking 950-1493's FUCK THRIFY TEL. Anyways. I was also picked up about a week later from that on a residential burglary, of which I know ALOT about. (See article) After all of that was over, it's NOW, and I'm currently on 654 probabtion, which is basically home supervision. Well there isn't much more for me to say right now, except that I'll try to write quality articles and will tell you ahead of time, that I personally will be revising alot of old articles that seem to have gotten lost, that'll help the basic h/p guy out. Well hope you like what this group does, because DnA will be around for awhile. Just hope that I'm around to help it out.. You won't be seeing a whole lot from me every release due to the facts: 1) Into that SCHOOL thing..eck! 2) I've got a girlfriend :) 3) Community Service SUCKS 4) I'm in Track 5) Community Service SUCKS <-- had to reemphasize it. I hope you like what you do see, but until then...LATERS ALL!! The Stainless Steel Rat (818) LUKE After the combined intro's of Pazuzu and Arclight, it's sort of hard to produce an equal to their great lives. Hmmmm.... Well, Here goes.. About 4 years ago I got started modeming when my good friend, The Tracer, sold my parents a 286 IBM compatible with a 2400 baud modem. The modem was MEANT to ne used for prodigy, but I wanted to learn more. I soon learned how to call out with telix and I was on my way, now to find places to call. The Tracer was on some Elite Boards such as, Cemetary Gates, The Roach Motel, The Dart Board, Phreakers Den, Street Spy, and Louder than Bombs. He got me on those boards and I was off to a great start as an H/P guy. I really didn't learn much about Hacking until I meet The Stainless Steel Rat, about a year ago. He taught me all I needed to know, and all that you're going to know. Now, the two of us are an H/P tag team with information coming out our asses! I just hope we can share that information with all of our readers, in a way that EVERYONE can understand. A little about myself, Hmmm... Well, I go to school, study like crazy (and still get the worst grades in the class), modem EVERY day, and participate in Football and Track. People say that I am very talented (How they come up with this FUCKED up Idea, I'll never know) and that I write very well (BULLSHIT!) and I hope that I can share my talents with you all. My interests are mainly in phreaking and scams ( BK's <-Read the text on Burglaries, PBX's, and Bank Jobs <-- Credit Card Fraud, Checks, Fake Id's, Etc.. Some thoughts on DnA.... it's going to be one of the "BETTER" groups around (as soon as we start releasing) because it is mainly concerned with bringing BACK the H/P scene. After people start reading this magazine, we hope that it will bring some more users into the H/P scene. CUz the more the merrier I always say!

"Well, fuck 'em if they can't take a joke!" "Fuck 'em even if they can take a joke!" -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Home Explosives Workshop Chapter I: Low explosives and the basics Written 4-27-93 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Well, I'm sure by now you probably have pages and pages of textfiles telling you how to make Napalm, TNT, etc. While many are excellent (The Jolly Roger Cookbook series, to name one), there are also a lot of crappy ones that are unreliable or just plain dangerous. My intention here is to provide the anarchist with a set of recipes and techniques that will enable him to safely manufacture all the explosives he needs, in the privacy of his own home. To start with, the following are some guidelines and basic recipes that I find useful. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-BLACK POWDER-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The following mixture yields a fast burning Black Powder that, while not as good as commercial grade, will work in explosives and as a propellent: Potassium Nitrate: 6 Parts Charcoal: 1 Part Sulfur: 1 Part Obtain the best grade chemicals available. These may be ordered from various sources, such as those listed at the end of this file. The chemicals should be ground as finely as possible in a mortar and pestle or a small gemstone tumbler. (separately, of course!). They are then mixed with enough water to form a thin paste. This should be heated (Carefully!) until small bubbles form (NOT to the point of boiling!) The mixture, after being thoroughly mixed and heated,is then dropped into a quantity of alcohol of at least twice the volume of the powder paste. This mixture is stirred for 5 full minutes, then strained hard through a piece of cloth, such as an old T-Shirt. The powder is then set out to dry in the sun. If the grains begin to stick together, remix the powder and alcohol and again set out to dry. This yields a good quality Black Powder that can be screened into any desired fineness. This recipe is an adaptation of that found in the "Improvised Munitions Handbook." I personally use this recipe, and can verify that it works. -=-=-=-=-=-=Uses of Black Powder=-=-=-=-=-=- Black Powder is a low explosive that is very spark sensitive, burns quickly (4000+ Feet per second), and produces a large volume of smoke. Possible uses include igniters, rocket devices, and pipebombs. The pipebomb is one of the easiset devices to produce, yet is very effec- tive. It can be made from any size water pipe, metal or plastic, from 1/2" to 2" in diameter and 2" to 2' long. The ends are plugged by endcaps, with one having the fuse pass through a hole drilled in it. The device is filled approx. 3/4 full of explosive. The finished device looks something like this: ÜÜÜÜ ÜÜÜÜÜ Þ³³³ÆÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ͵³³³ Ý ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÞ³³³³ÍÍÍÍ:::::::::::::::::³³³³ Ý \ Þ³³³ÆÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ͵³³³ Ý \ ßßßß \ ßßßßß \ \ \ \ \ Wax threads before screwing on \ to avoid sparks! \ Glue in fuse, to prevent premature spark detonation. Whatever type of explosive device you make with black powder, just remember that it will not explode unless it is confining. the burning powder. Black powder in the open willl *not* explode, only burn. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-Smoke Bombs=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Smoke screens can be very effective in confusing your enemy, screening your movements, and creating general havock. The following mixtures will create high quality smoke screens. They can be ignited with a small amount of road flare mix and a fuse+black powder. Chemical Parts (White) Zinc Dust 2 Hexachlorethane 1 (Fuel Tablets) Sulfur 3 Potassium Nitrate 4 Black Iron Oxide 2.5 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-Fuses=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Good fuses are essential to making safe and reliable explosives. The *best* way to obtain fuse is to buy rolls of cannon fuse at gun shows. This fuse is safe, reliable, and waterproof. Failing that, they can be made as follows: Take a small amount of black powder (see above) and moisten it with water to form a paste. Twist 3 strands of cotton string together and rub the paste into them, working it evenly around the strings. Now, allow this to dry and cut to length. An alternative to this is to use a single string, dip it in thick lacquer (Clear nail polish and airplane "Dope" paint work well), then rub the black powder into it. Note that these tend to burn rather fast. -=-=-=-=-=-=Definitions-=-=-=-=-=- Blasting cap- A small metal cylinder containing a detonating mixture Booster- A charge detonated by a cap, used to detonate a larger charge Charge- A quantity of explosives to be detonated Detonate- To explode violently, chemically different from fast burning. Fuse- Any device that ignites something after a specified amount of time Fuze- An adjustable fuse/detonator assembly used on artillery shells, bombs High explosive- An explosive that detonates spontaneously and violently. Also, detonates at 10,000 fps+ (i.e. C-4, Dynamite, TNT, etc.) Ignitor- Any device that initiates a flame to ignite something else Low explosive- A less powerfull explosive, uses an oxidizer and fuel (i.e. Black Powder, Ammonium Nitrate, etc.) Propellent- Any substance that burns and releases gases that propel something -=-=-=-=-=-Sources=-=-=-=-=- Chemicals can be obtained through various mail order companies or purchased locally at chem. supply stores. Two good mail order companies that stock the necessary chemicals are as follows: Hagenow Laboratories 1302 Washington St. Manitowac,WIS. 54220 (Catalog $2.00) Impulse Reactions PO Box 61342 Seattle WA 98121 (202)526-5305 Other sources can be found by looking under "Chemistry" and "Chemicals" in the advertising sections of Popular Science and related magazines. Believe it or not, UPS will ship anything you want right to your door, no hassles. Well, that's all for this issue, so be sure to stay tuned for more quality DnA explosives info.

My handle, as you know, is Arclight. I've been in the computer scene for going on 5 years now, and I've been BBS'ing for for the last 3. My hacking mentality has been with me all my life; I've always been on the lookout for ways to play with the system, to defeat the bureaucracy. Anyway, all I have to say is keep your eyes open, realize how silly life is and take advantage of it, and if your going to hell and in a handbasket anyway, enjoy the ride!

I'm sure by now everyone in the groups is pissed that I've taken so long, but oh well... Here's the intro that I needed to write up about me. I started bbs'ing about 5 years ago. About a month after I got my first modem, I tried to put up a board. Ever since then I was on and off with a board. Eventually about 3 years ago, I met Pazuzu where we went on a joint effort developing a BBS software which I currently am still doing. (Check out Uncanny BBS today) Anyways... I'm still in school, doing the school thing pulling a decent GPA and shit, so well I don't got shitloads of time to write articles. I started the h/p scene around the time I met Pazuzu and since then I've been progressing and learning just like we want everyone else to do. I'm now the world's most famous hacker or even a great one at all, but I dibble dabble on the System 75 and CBI scene. A little about my crime history would reveal a lawsuit in April '92 for code hacking 950-1493's FUCK THRIFY TEL. Anyways. I was also picked up about a week later from that on a residential burglary, of which I know ALOT about. (See article) After all of that was over, it's NOW, and I'm currently on 654 probabtion, which is basically home supervision. Well there isn't much more for me to say right now, except that I'll try to write quality articles and will tell you ahead of time, that I personally will be revising alot of old articles that seem to have gotten lost, that'll help the basic h/p guy out. Well hope you like what this group does, because DnA will be around for awhile. Just hope that I'm around to help it out.. You won't be seeing a whole lot from me every release due to the facts: 1) Into that SCHOOL thing..eck! 2) I've got a girlfriend :) 3) Community Service SUCKS 4) I'm in Track 5) Community Service SUCKS <-- had to reemphasize it. I hope you like what you do see, but until then...LATERS ALL!! The Stainless Steel Rat (818) LUKE After the combined intro's of Pazuzu and Arclight, it's sort of hard to produce an equal to their great lives. Hmmmm.... Well, Here goes.. About 4 years ago I got started modeming when my good friend, The Tracer, sold my parents a 286 IBM compatible with a 2400 baud modem. The modem was MEANT to ne used for prodigy, but I wanted to learn more. I soon learned how to call out with telix and I was on my way, now to find places to call. The Tracer was on some Elite Boards such as, Cemetary Gates, The Roach Motel, The Dart Board, Phreakers Den, Street Spy, and Louder than Bombs. He got me on those boards and I was off to a great start as an H/P guy. I really didn't learn much about Hacking until I meet The Stainless Steel Rat, about a year ago. He taught me all I needed to know, and all that you're going to know. Now, the two of us are an H/P tag team with information coming out our asses! I just hope we can share that information with all of our readers, in a way that EVERYONE can understand. A little about myself, Hmmm... Well, I go to school, study like crazy (and still get the worst grades in the class), modem EVERY day, and participate in Football and Track. People say that I am very talented (How they come up with this FUCKED up Idea, I'll never know) and that I write very well (BULLSHIT!) and I hope that I can share my talents with you all. My interests are mainly in phreaking and scams ( BK's <-Read the text on Burglaries, PBX's, and Bank Jobs <-- Credit Card Fraud, Checks, Fake Id's, Etc.. Some thoughts on DnA.... it's going to be one of the "BETTER" groups around (as soon as we start releasing) because it is mainly concerned with bringing BACK the H/P scene. After people start reading this magazine, we hope that it will bring some more users into the H/P scene. CUz the more the merrier I always say!
