Well this is our second issue of the Txt file, I hope you enjoyred our last issue
of C.o.W.. As We speak there are Most tallented people out there terrorizing the internet. To Them I
tip my hat. What I am about to type is an article that I found in the Denver Post. of Denver Co.
HACKER ATTACK CHILLS ENTIRE COMPUTER WORLD
By. David Bank
The
attack began in earnest shortly after 2p.m. Christmas Day. Using a little-known weakness in the
Internet computer netwerk, it took the hackers less than an hour to infiltrate the computer system
of one of the nation’s foremost experts on ccomputer security.
For the next 28 hours, they
stole enough information to send a chill through the computer world. Experts have just begun to
grasp what the hackers may have stolen — and what they could do with it. In one of the most
advancecd break-ins in the internet’s 25-year history, the burglars may have escaped with the tools
to breach the security systems of other computer systems around the world.
Leading
researcher:
As a leading researcher into methods of preventing intrusions, Tsutomu Shimomura
of San Diego super computer center, developed sophisticated tools that are of immense value to
hackers themselves.
Copies of some of the files already have turned up on computers at loyola
university in Chicago and at the University of Rochester in New York. The security of Rochester’s
computer system appears to have been breached by the smae hackers. Now some wonder who’s next.
The informations they gleaned from Shimomura’s computer gave the intruders technigues for breaking
into systems that are far more sophisticated than ones typically used by hackers, Said Shimomura.
Shimomura had a hude electronic storehouse, including unpublished software and correspondence that
documented gaping holes in the internet’s security. In all, the attackers copied more that 20,000
files.
"I don’t even want to think about what they got," said Jim Settle, former
head of the FBI’s computer crimes squad and now a computer security consultant with I-NET Inc. In
Bethesda, MD. "he’s got a mind that everybody in the computer security trade knows is one of
the best that’s the reason he is a good target to go after."
In the days that followed,
the hackers capped their attack with two mocking, taunting voice-mail messages that included a death
threat against Shimomura.
A month later, law enforcement officials and security researchers
still are trying to assess the damages from the incident. Already, Concern about the flaws exposed
by the break-in has begun to chill the overheated expectations about the internet’s readiness for
full commercial activity.
Cryptography
The incident also has spurred a growing
consensus that true security will require the widespread deployment of cryptography, so that data
itself can be encoded and thus secured even if the network is not. It may take up to five more years
before cryptography is universally used.
Initial reports anout the break-in focused on
little-known method that the intruders used to gain access, first to the machine in Shimomura;s home
and then to the computer server at the supercomputer center. The computer Emergency Response Team at
carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh issued a warning about such intrusions late last year.
As you can plainly see that some one out there is the shit of the computer world. If Your
one of these hackers who did this I tip my hat… You can always Login to Soveriegn Systems At
1-303-582-0748. Share some of those files..
Our next section is what The NY state Police
Though of the word hacker and how it should be classified. HAHAHA they know nothing

Subject: NY State Police Decriminalize the Word "Hacker"
10/21/92
ALBANY, NEW YORK, U.S.A., 1992 OCT 21 (NB) — Senior investigator
Ron
Stevens of the New York State Police Computer Unit has told
Newsbytes that it will be the
practice of his unit to avoid the use
of the term "hacker" in describing those
alleged to have committed
computer crimes.
Stevens told Newsbytes, "We use
the term computer criminal to describe
those who break the law using computers. While the lay
person may have
come to understand the meaning of hacker as a computer criminal, the
term isn’t accurate. The people in the early days of the computer industry
considered
themselves hackers and they made the computer what it is
today. There are those today who
consider themselves hackers and do not
commit illegal acts."
Stevens had
made similar comments in a recent conversation with Albany
BBS operator Marty Winter. Winter
told Newsbytes, "’Hacker’ is,
unfortunately an example of the media taking what used to
be an honorable
term, and using it to describe an activity because they [the media]
are
too lazy or stupid to come up with something else. Who knows, maybe
one day ‘computer
delinquent’ WILL be used, but I sure ain’t gonna hold
my breath."
Stevens,
together with investigator Dick Lynch and senior investigator
Donald Delaney, attended the
March 1993 Computers, Freedom and
Privacy Conference (CFP-2) in Washington, DC and met such
industry
figures as Glenn Tenney, congressional candidate and chairman of the
WELL’s
annual "Hacker Conference"; Craig Neidorf, founding editor and
publisher of Phrack;
Steven Levy, author of "Hackers" and the recently
published "Artificial
Life"; Bruce Sterling, author of the recently
published "The Hacker
Crackdown"; Emmanuel Goldstein, editor and
publisher of 2600: The Hacker Quarterly"
and a number of well-known
"hackers."
Stevens said, "When I came
home, I read as much of the literature
about the subject that I could and came to the
conclusion that a
hacker is not necessarily a computer criminal."
The use
of the term "hacker" to describe those alleged to have committed
computer crimes has
long been an irritant to many in the online
community. When the July 8th federal indictment of
5 New York City
individuals contained the definition of computer hacker as "someone
who
uses a computer or a telephone to obtain unauthorized access to other
computers," there was an outcry on such electronic conferencing system as
the WELL (Whole
Earth ‘Lectronic Link). Many of the same people
reacted quite favorably to the Stevens
statement when it was posted
on the WELL.
