==Phrack Inc.== Volume Four, Issue Forty-One, File 3 of 13 ==Phrack Pro-Phile== Created by Taran King (1986) _______________________________________________________________________________ Welcome to Phrack Pro-Phile. Phrack Pro-Phile is created to bring info to you, the users, about old or highly important/controversial people. This month, we bring to you certainly one of the most controversial people (and handles) to ever emerge in the computer underground... Supernigger ~~~~~~~~~~~ _______________________________________________________________________________ Personal ~~~~~~~~ Handle: Supernigger Call him: SN Date of Birth: Years ago Age: Getting along in the years. Height: Medium Weight: Medium Computers owned: Commodore Vic-20, C64, Amiga, 386 Compatible How did this handle originate? Back in 1985, I had blueboxed to a bridge. Someone on there, for some reason, decided that he didn't like me, and shouted, "Get off, nigger!" He then proceeded to knock me off with a 2600 Hz tone. I immediately called back with something "un-2600 hz-able" and, when he shouted, "Get off nigger!" and blew 2600 hz, I then said, "I'm SUPERnigger, you can't knock me off, I've got the POWER!!" Fun, eh? How I Got Started ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Back in '82 or '83, I got a wonderful computer called a Commodore Vic-20. With that, I wrote a few irrelevant programs and played "Gorf!" a lot. Then, a friend suggested that I get a Commodore C-64 and disk drive for all the RAD WhErEz! it had. Needless to say, I was not disappointed. Then a friend showed me a 5-digit number you could put in after calling an access number, and it would put a call through for you! Imagine that! This, I thought, was the key to UNLIMITED WARES! Then, the new ware scene became tiresome and boring REAL quick. I had them all. New ones. Old ones. Middle-aged ones. I had wares coming out of my ass. Just when I was about to drop out of the scene, I saw a number posted on a board for InterCHAT (201), a multi-line chat system. That's where the cavalcade of fun and interesting endeavors began. That's where I met Sharp Remob, Lord_foul (DP), Dark Wanderer and other members of DPAK. Speaking of DPAK, the group was created when we found a glitch in the MCI access # that allowed any 14-digit code to work. We then made up the joke, "Today at 2:00 PM, DPAK Agents cornered an MCI official and said, 'You WILL give these people free calls!'" and proceeded to tell people about the glitch ("DPAK" came from Mad Hacker 312, who, when asked about obtaining non-published numbers, said, "Oh, you'd have to be a DPAK Agent to get that."). After that, DPAK was tracing people before Caller ID came out, finding and creating bridges, setting up an 800 # for InterCHAT (actually 2 if you were quick enough to catch the second one), putting out Sharp Remob's Social Engineering file, and other things that I had better not mention (I would go on, but I think I might frighten you.). I would have to say that I feel negatively toward "elite posers," people who claim to know things with the sole purpose of trying to seem "cool." These are the people you see boasting about how long they have been around (which is irrelevant), spurting out random acronyms when they have no idea how they are actually used, and trying to make something complicated and mysterious out of something mundane and simple. For example: "Hey dude, watch out, I may be listening in on your line right now with a DAMT," or "Oh, I'll just use the DRT trunk multiplexor to do a Random Interphase-seizure of the tandemized trunk." (Barf!) Also, I think this government crackdown really sucks. What sucks is the fact that the government is going after big NAMES instead of big -CRIMES-. Rather than stopping crimes, they just want to "show who's boss." A lot of innocent lives are being ruined. In fact, after this issue of Phrack comes out, I plan to lay VERY low because they will probably want to get me now that my handle was in a phreak/hack publication. Interests ~~~~~~~~~ Women: Fast Cars: Fast (VWs) Food: Fast Music: All kinds (Rap, Rock, Metal, you name it) Favorite performers: 2 Live Crew Favorite author: Lord Digital (the father of ELITE!ness) Favorite Book: Nat!onal Enl!ghtener Most Memorable Experiences ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It works! It works!!" -- when the 800 # for InterCHAT actually worked. If you called it, you remember. That took a lot of work... Also, at one point in time, every chat system in New Jersey was forwarded to InterCHAT.. That was truly hilarious. I strongly suggest, at this point, that everyone refrain from attempting these things. The consequences are a bit more serious now. But if you must, be VERY very careful. ...And, I would like to take this opportunity to clear up the "Free World II Incident" and other vague and unclear statements chronicled in Phrack 28. First of all, I -DID NOT- crash Black Ice BBS. In fact, some hick from Texas already stated to me that he wrote my name on the BBS when it was crashed. The same hick tends to lie and spread rumors a lot, so I don't actually know if it was him that wrote my name. Suffice to say that I didn't crash it. Secondly, and most important, Free World II BBS was forwarded to InterCHAT because Major Havoc was a complete and total ASSHOLE. I called his system and applied for access. When I tried to get back on, I found that my application had been deleted without so much as a notification, so I thought that the BBS hadn't saved it correctly and applied again. I found the BBS hadn't saved it correctly a second time, and when I tried to fill out the application once more, Major Havoc broke in and typed things like "Get the fuck off here" and "Hang the fuck up." I typed "Fine, have it your way" and proceeded to forward his BBS # to InterCHAT. You can't just treat people like that and expect nothing to happen. The opening message on InterCHAT said: "Until Major Havoc learns the meaning of the word TACT (dealing with people in a non-offensive manner), his BBS has been put to better use." (I had called the BBS in the first place to try to clear up wild rumors that The Blade had said were being tossed about on there). I hope this has cleared things up. Some People To Mention ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sharp Remob : He showed me the wonders of Social Engineering. He is making the big dollars now. Lord_foul : I never realized how many people he was in contact with. Some pretty heavy hitters. He never let on how much he knew. Applehead : The best DJ in the phreak/hack world. Truly, in mixing records, no one is his equal. Seems to be able to mesmerize phone company employees into doing his bidding as well. Could these two things be related? Meat Puppet : "Money for nuthin, EVERYTHING for free." Why anyone would want 800 watts in their car I will never know. Lung C00kiez : He had the best conference ideas, like Want-Ad Fun and Operator Frenzy. *DETH*-2-*J00Z* : So much for political correctness. First person I know to theorize how to trace people before Caller ID came out. Dark Wanderer : Works for Sun Microsystems now. One of the few hackers I know that has a technical computer-oriented career. Krak Dealer : Takes consciousness-altering to the level of an art form. Squashed Pumpkin : The enforcer. DeeDee : The only cool bridge chick. Dr. Mike : Cool guy when he's not threatening his girlfriend with a knife. Gatsby : Gets the award for quick learner. orpheus : One of the true devotees of InterCHAT, and one of the few people I know who is actually interested in HP-3000. The whole InterCHAT crowd... Made modeming fun. I should also mention a group of NYC individuals at this time. I would mention their names, but certain legal situations preclude that. They showed me what someone can REALLY do with an in-depth understanding of many systems. Suffice to say that they are the creme de la creme, probably the only group up to par with DPAK. Oh, and I cannot, I MUST NOT forget to mention The Blade, who is truly a legend in his own mind. The Future ~~~~~~~~~~ I see the future for hacking/phreaking as pretty bleak. Big Brother is watching. System Administrators are finally realizing that it is better to make your system impenetrable than to prosecute kids (I wish the government would realize this). If you combine these two things, there is not much to look forward to. In Closing... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As for the standard Pro-Phile question (are most of the phreaks and hackers that I've met computer geeks?), I have not met any phreakers or hackers, so I can't say if they are geeks or not. From phone conversations, some seem like geeks, some don't.
