==Phrack Inc.== Volume One, Issue Six, Phile 2 of 13 \`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\ Phrack Pro-Phile 3 Featuring: User Groups and Clubs Written By Knight Lightning and Taran King On June 10, 1986 \`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\ Welcome to issue 3 of Phrack Pro-Phile. The information herein was originally supposed to appear as a special issue of PWN, but instead was made this issue's Phrack Pro-Phile. Taran King and I have collected much information about the different clubs and groups of today and yesterday and compiled in the form that you will now see. \`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\ Extasyy Elite: The story of Extasyy Elite is a sad one for the group was literally destroyed by its own members. The Poltergeist turned in all of Extasyy after he got busted for carding. This led the authorities to The Mentor who had stolen 30 Apple //es. Mentor's bust almost led to The Protestor, but luckily, The Mentor was able to warn Protestor in time. (See Phrack World News Issue III). The membership of the club included: Bit Blitz Cisban Evil Priest Crustaceo Mutoid Kleptic Wizard The Mentor The Poltergeist The Protestor Crustaceo Mutoid later joined the Racketeers, but now he and The Mentor write for a California newsletter called the Underground Informer. Extasyy hung out on Hack Net BBS and FWSO, a bbs in Colorado. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fargo 4A: This group was started on a conference consisting of Bioc Agent 003, TUC, Big Brother, Quasi-Moto, Video Warhead, and the Wizard of Arpanet. What they did was get several Directory Assistants on the conference, and each person assumed a role of some sort of telco agent. Now they told the DA's that all their calls were going to be re-routed to a different location. They got some of the DA's to believe them, and some of them were almost laid off because of this conference. By the way, Fargo is in North Dakota, that's where the first DA was from. It is believed that Wizard of ARPAnet was busted by John Maxfield and that BIOC completely retired from the phreak world. This group was unofficially disbanded, but several of the members are still active. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Five-O: A reasonably new IBM kracking group, which was formally the Imperial Warlords. Currently they are re-kracking software and claiming it to be original by themselves. They are known for placing insulting messages towards certain people inside their re-kracked software. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IBM Syndicate: This group was formed around April 6, 1986. Its charter members included; Dark Creaper (916), Brew Associates (215), Major Havoc (301), and one other whose handle remains unknown to me at the current time. They were a new phreak/hack/pirate group. Unfortunately, this group (like so many others) died within its first month. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Icub (International Computer Underground Bandits): This is a hack/phreak group who's main emphasis is on phreaking. It is based in Memphis, Tennessee. It has 10 members in it, and the only semi-active member left is Doc Holiday. Not much else is really known about this group except that it is inactive and there have not been any announced plans to revive it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOD/H: Legion Of Doom/Hackers These two groups are very closely intertwined. They both were formed on Plovernet. The founding member was Lex Luthor. Through the years, there have been LOD/H bulletin boards such as Blottoland, LOD, FOD, etc. Today there is Catch 22 and a new LOD bbs, supposedly being run by King Blotto. The current member list of the group is as follows: Legion Of Hackers Legion Of Doom ----------------- -------------- Blue Archer Phucked Agent 04 Gary Seven Compu-Phreak Kerrang Khan Lex Luthor Master Of Impact Silver Spy (Sysop of Catch 22) The Marauder The Videosmith LOD/H is known for being one of the oldest and most knowledgeable of all groups. In the past they have written many extensive g-philes about various topics. (Please forgive any mistakes in the member list since this list was provided by Lex Luthor approximately 1 1/2 - 2 months ago). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Metal Communications: A very large group that has written many files throughout its existence. Some of the boards in its menagerie include Speed Demon Elite, Metal AE, Metal Works AE, Metalland I and several others. The membership of Metal Communications includes: Cobalt 60/Crimson Pirate/Dr. Local/Red Pirate/Shadow Lord/The Angel Of Destiny The Apothecary/The Byte/The Byte Byter/The Dark Wizard/The Duke/The Dutchman The Man In Black/The Prophet/The Pink Panther/The Voice Over/The Radical Rocker The Warlock Lord/White Knight Red Pirate, Crimson Pirate, and Dr. Local are the group's main ware distributors. A subsidiary of Metal Communications is the Neon Knights whose membership includes: Baby Demon/Jolly*Roger/The Blade aka Killer Kurt/The Master of Reality The Metallian/The Outland/Zandar Zan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PAG/PAP: Phreaks Against Geeks/Phreaks Against Phreaks Against Geeks PAG: This group was formed by TWCB Inc. as a joke on a conference in December, 1985. The charter members were TWCB, Inc. taRfruS, Blue Adept, The Clashmaster and a few others. Later, Catcher in the Rye and the Slovak wanted to join. PAP: In resistance to PAG, Boston Stangler and Micro Man formed PAP. Several others sided with them but were never formal members. All of this nonsense was really started on the Dartmouth system and was mainly a feud between phreaks in the Boston (617) area until TWCB got involved. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Administration: This group was sort of in two parts; The Administration and Team Hackers '86. The membership of these groups include: Adolph Hitler...............Team Hackers '86 Alpha Centauri Author Unknown..............Team Hackers '86 British Bloke...............Team Hackers '86 Dark Priest David Lightman (214)........Administration Leader/ Team Hackers '86 Dr. Pepper Hewlett Hackard Major Havock................Team Hackers '86 Mane Phrame Mark Twain Phoneline Phantom 1 - *Not* a member of Phoneline Phantoms. Red Baron Renegade Rebel Sasha Kinski................Team Hackers '86 The President Walter Mitty The group did disband temporarily for reasons dealing with security, but now is back together. For other news about this group see the current PWN. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Nihilist Order: This group was really a loosely connected bunch of friends and phreaks and not a true club. It is based in Fremont and Sunnyvale, California. It was started by TRASk and The Highwayman. The membership includes: BelGarion/Ogre Ogre/The Animator/The Highwayman/TRASk All of the members of the group have been busted or been involved in busts in the past few months. The Highwayman bit it in the Phoenix Phortress Sting Operation, and the others all got caught on a carding scam. Although BelGarion was later released with no record. One of the boards in the Nihilist Order's network is the Shattered World Elite, which is sysoped by TRASk. The group is currently inactive. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The P.H.I.R.M.: A somewhat new group that recently has been accused (without proof) of being fed invested. Not much is really known about this group as they would disclose very little information. Some of the boards that are now P.H.I.R.M operated include Thieve's Underworld, sysoped by Jack The Ripper, World's Grave Elite sysoped by Sir Gamelord, and SATCOM IV. The P.H.I.R.M. reportedly will be releasing a newsletter. The membership of the P.H.I.R.M. supposedly includes: Archangel Blade Runner Jack The Ripper Sir Gamelord The Stingray It is rumored that Blade Runner is the same person as Archangel and/or The Stingray. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TPM (The Punk Mafia): This group when last checked had eight members. The following is a complete listing. Arthur Dent Creative Chaos Erik Bloodaxe Gin Fizz Ninja NYC Peter Gunn Rudolph Smith (703) The Godfather (703) The group will be going through a rebirth this summer. Their main goals include burglary, fraud, hacking, and phreaking. Most recently The Godfather retired and Ninja NYC came very close to being busted. See Phrack World News Issue V. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Racketeers: The new Apple pirating group was assembled by Apple Rebel. The membership now includes: Apple Rebel/Crustaceo Mutoid/Hot Rod/The Micron/The Warezird ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tribunal Of Knowledge: This group was formed very recently by Blue Buccaneer and High Evolutionary with one purpose in mind: to get together to trade knowledge and information and to discuss this information until all the members had a good working knowledge of it. The final result would be g-philes written by the group about the topic. On the whole it was a good idea. The complete membership includes: Blue Buccaneer Chef Boy R Dee Cyclone II High Evolutionary Night Stalker Paradox Professor Pixel Slave Driver The Inspectre The Seker The Wild Phreak ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2300 Club: Based in Cleveland, Ohio. The 2300 Club is now being compared and treated as miniature mafia by local authorities. This is mainly for crimes including the blowing up of cars. Two of the members were caught for fraudulent use of a credit card and one has been arrested for car theft. Which of the members that refers to, I don't know, but the membership of the 2300 Club included: Dr. Gorey Dr. No Eagle Eyes Judge Dredd King Blotto Mr. Modem Prince Squid Spectreman The Formatter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2600 Club/New 2600 Club: Both groups are no longer in existence. Originally started as a local group of friends in St. Louis, Missouri, it gained members quickly, too quickly, and as the membership grew, the unity and productivity of the group lessened until the group(s) finally broke up. However many of the members of 2600 Club now write (or have in the past) for Phrack Inc. Among them are: Cheap Shades/Data Line/Dr. Crash/Forest Ranger/Gin Fizz/Jester Sluggo Knight Lightning/Monty Python/Phantom Phreaker/Taran King/The Clashmaster 2600 Club had no relation to 2600 Magazine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Warelords: There are 13 members in the Warelords and they are based in California, Maryland, Tennessee, Washington D.C., and Wyoming. Billibuster, a member of the group, said that the Warelords are a phreaking and carding group that also writes programs and sells them. He claims that they are not pirates. The group isn't very active. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other groups: ------------ Catholics Anonymous: A pirate group Elite Phreakers and Hackers Club: From World of Cryton Feds R Us: Joke by King Blotto High Mountain Hackers Imperial Warlords: See Five-O Inner Circle: The Cracker (Author of "Out of The Inner Circle") Kaos Inc.
