On the Cover:
For most of us over here at Blackliste d! 411, we don't ever let a time go by when we see a "telephone
company convention", as we like to call it, without stopping along side and harassing some information out of
the attendees. It's not very difficult to find out some interesting information from the people who work for the
phone company . They like to offer their information, thinking for some reason, that it makes them look better,
perhaps? Maybe they're just really cool people and like to pass info along. Either way , don't pass up the
opportunity of gaining a little more insight into the phone company in your area when you see a lid opened up
or a J-Box opened up and a phone man somewhere nearby. You'll not regret taking the time to do so.

It's rathe r easy to get our magazine where you want it. If you 're in a place that does n'tcarry our magazine
and you 'd like to see it there in the futu re , all you have to do is one of the following: ,
1. If you 're not sure if thestore you 're in carries our magaz ine , ASK THEM ! They might be sold out or they
may have hidden the magazine in a spec ial sect ion or behind other magaz ines .
2. If they do not carry our magazine , tell the store manager that you would like to see this magaz ine in the ir
store in the future . 'Give them our number and tell them they sho uld call us so we can set them up with a nice
stock' of our maga zine. Make sure you let them know how disappointed you 'd be if they didn't stock them or
"forqot 'rto at least call and TRY to get them in stock .
3. If that fails , you can give us the ir add ress and phone number. Then we will have the chance to ca ll them
and harass, ahem , talk them into carry ing our wonderfu l magazine.
4. Subscribe if you don 't want to bother with any of the prev ious methods.

n THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES OR WHO IS OB~IGATED TO PAY THE NATIONAL DEBT n
U By Kedar R. Cohen U
~= = ~~~ ~=~= ========= ==~~~
The national debt is referred to in the constitution in the 14th amendment as the pub lic debt. This amendment also says that
the validity of the public debt shall not be questioned. Does this mean that we the people and our posterity cannot quest ion
the validity of the national debt? I will answer that the public debt only applies to 14th amendment U.S. citizens and
U.S. persons. That means the rest of us can question the validity of the public debt !
Essentially this means persons born in Washington,D .C., Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa are obligated
to pay the national debt and immigrants legally admitted to the United States . We the People and our poster ity are people
conceived in the fifty sovereign states do not owe the national debt but can choose to pay it if they so choose and how much
we want to pay.
So why are we the people paying the national debt as if we are obligated to do so? It is because we have contracted ourselves
into this obligation. We did this in any number of ways . We or our parents applied for a social security number claiming to be
U.S. citizens which is the fourteenth amendment citizen. They did it even earlier than that. Our parents sold us into slavery
when they got married and applied for a marriage license and again when they got us a birth certificate . We also contracted
ourselves into 14th amendment citizenship when we filed an income tax return .
The good news though is that all these contracts listed and others not listed such as our driver's license , and voter registrat ion
are all adhesion contracts and all are fraudu lent because none of them required us to renounce our we the people and our
posterity Article 4, Section 2, Clause 1 Citizen of the several States status . By not fully informing us and telling us the truth ,
the whole truth and nothing but the truth , the government committed fraud into gett ing us to enter into the contracts of
adhes ion. Since these contracts are fraudulent , they are null and void and we are in truth still sovereigns. But because we
entered into these contracts , from their point of view they presume we are subject U.S. citizens and U.S. persons .
Maybe you feel an obligation to pay the national debt, but know that you are not obligated to do so. As a sovereign you have
the right to decide yes or no and how much, As a subject you are obligated to do . If you want to re-assert your power to
choose , you have to declare your sovereign status even though you are a natural sovereign .
Before declaring your sovere ign status , though first understand you are a natura l sovere ign by studying a book called Vultures
in Eagle's Clothing by Lynn Meridith . Buy that book through me for $42.95 . Second study this book . Th ird declare your
sovereign status, the freedom papers are in this book or get them custom tailored through me for $25.00.
One you have declare your sovere ign status, you are now free to choose whether you want to pay off the national debt by
choosing to payor not to payoff the national debt by choosing to payor not pay the income tax. You can also make payment
on the national debt by paying the U.S.Treasury and telling them to direct this contribut ion to payment on the national debt.
If you do not want to pay the national debt bu you want your money to go directly to run the governme nt then you must make
your payment to the Treasury of the United States of Amer ica and instruct them , none of this money is to go to pay the national
debt and can only go to pay for government services. The IRS and U.S. Treasury are not true government agencies. They are
private corporations contract ing their services for the federa l reserve banking system which is also a privately owned bank and
not a government agency .
As long as we accept federal reserve notes as money , the national debt cannot ever be paid off because the national debt is
measured in federal reserve notes. Federal reserve notes are monetized debt. The federa l reserve bank buys from the United
States Treasury $1.00 for 2.5 cents and then lends it back for $1.00 adding $1.00 to the national debt. A debt cannot be paid
back in the same medium . The government goes into debt when they borrow federal reserve notes and federal credits from
the federal reserve bank and they transfer that debt to us when we accept federal reserve notes and units . We the people
have the right to receive debt free and interest free money for our labor. The Constitut ion only gave Congress the power to
coin money and regulate its value. This money that Congress can issue is debt free and interest free . This money is simply
barter certificates so that We the People can peacefully and productively trade with each other. These barter certificates get
their purchasing power from the product ivity of the American people. These barter certificates were called United States Notes
which were fully redeemable in gold and silver coin.
In 1913 Congress passed the Federal Reserve Act which included a buy back provision which is much less than our present
national debt. This act also gave the federal reserve bank the power to issue federal reserve notes and units as money . A
power that only Congress has and cannot delegate . The Federal Reserve Act is Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 legislation and
is only constitutional in Washington , D.C., Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam and American Samoa and nowhere else!
Since the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, no United States Notes (U.S.Notes) have been issued. U.S. Notes are monet ized
American productivity. Federal Reserve Notes (F.R. Notes) are monetized national debt. The Federal Reserve Act cannot be
forced upon the American People domiciled in the several states. From 1913 to 1933 F.R. Notes replacedU .S. Notes but were
at least redeemable in gold and silver coin which is the only legal tender money of the sovereign states and still is the only
legal tender money of the sovereign states. From 1933 to the present F.R. Notes have not been redeemable in gold coin .
Since 1968 F.R. Notes have not been redeemable in silver coins. F.R. Notes are now redeemable only for other F.R. Notes
or you can say not redeemable in any other substance . A note is a legal term and means redeemable in someth ing other than
itself. A note that is not a note redeemable in any other substance is not a note at all.
The Constitution only gave congress the power to coin money and regulate its value and this power cannot be transferred to
anybody else. Taking away our U.S. Notes, gold and silver coins as money is a crime against the American People . It is
Robbery .
Now the money changers and the banksters want to take away our federal Reserve Notes and give us debit cards and bodily
14 1st Quarter 1996 Blacklisted! 411
implants to identify us and all our transactions. This will take away our privacy and create a cashless society. This is most
definitely unconst itutional. UFO abductees complain of being implanted. Are we going to allow our government to practice
UFO technology? I hope you answer in a resounding NO!
Wake up people, the handwriting is on the wall. F.R. Notes are not true money or lawful money. Find out what true money is.
Understand what money is and demand that debt free, interest free money be restored in These united States of America.
Here is an agenda to restore Good Money back into Amer ica.
1> All people conceived in the 50 sovereign States are true We the People and our Posterity Citizens of the Several States
and These united States of America and have the right to question the validity of the Public Debt..We have the right to work
and trade and be paid in Lawful Money.
2> We entered into Fraudulent adhesion contracts and superimposed 14th Amendment U.S. citizenship on top of our natural
sovereign We the People Citizenship and gave up our right to question the validity of the public debt. Therefore revoke your
14th Amendment subject U.S. citizenship and reclaim your natural sovereign We the People Citizenship. Do this by declaring
such to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Contact me for info on this declaration package.
3> Demand from all levels of government that congress start to reissue U.S. notes and stop authorizing the issuance of
Federa l Reserve Notes. Replace U.S. Notes for F.R. Notes.
4> Buyout the Federal Reserve Bank by the procedure outlined in the 1913 Federa l Reserve Act and buy it back with U.S.
Notes, not F.R. Notes.
5> Once Congress owns the Federal Reserve Bank, Congress can then order the audit of the Federal Reserve and see if the
former owners should be prosecuted .
6> Any balanced budget amendment should include a provision that will forbid the federal government from ever going into
debt again. This provision will forbid the formation of a national bank ever again.
Now it is your turn. What are you going to do? Are you going to allow the continued existence of the Federal Reserve Bank,
Federal Reserve Notes, and reduce or eliminate the national debt by paying it off with federal reserve notes? Do you think this
is possible? Or are you going to reclaim your right to question the validity of the public debt by reclaiming your original
Sovereign We the People Citizenship and demand as a Sovereign that Congress do its appointed job of issuing debt free,
interest free United States Notes and re-monetizing gold and silver coin as real money and buy back the federal reserve bank
with United States Notes and after that audit the federal reserve bank? You have been presented a real choice. What are you
going to choose?

Subj ect: BASICS PART II
Ok, so now you know how you were beaten out of your Citizenship of a State. What does it matter? Why care? What
difference does it make? Wouldn't you really rather be watching a TV sitcom and drinking beer, as opposed to worry ing about
these "silly" legal distinctions? Lets compare Citizenship of a State vs. US citizenship and see.
TAXES: Most of the people who become aware of Citizenship of a state do so because of a fight with the IRS. Well, the
"United States," by virtue of tax treaties with foreign countries, can tax its "US citizens" anywhere they may be. A "US citizen"
living in any of the several states of the Union is a resident alien of that state. (Look at govt. paperwork and job
applications...they all ask you to state that you are a "US citizen" and a "resident" of California. be aware that resident means
resident alien.) As a "US citizen" you are subject to the jur isdiction of the "United States" and therefore taxable by the IRS.
You are also subject to the California income tax. The Franchise Tax Board is taxing you on your "franchise" or privilege they
are granting you to make a living here in California. After all, you are not a Citizen of California, but merely a resident alien
from that foreign country known as the "United States."
RIGHT TO TRAVEL .. A Citizen of any of the Several States United can travel in his own private property (car) as a matter of
RIGHT. The "US citizen" being a resident alien in any of the 50 States United can be regulated. He must take a revokable
privilege called a driver's license. The state can then force him to obey regulations like speed limits, seat belt laws, and
motorcycle helmet laws, all for "his own good."
RIGHT TO OWN PROPERTY.... Only a Citizen of a state can actually own property in a state. "US citizens," being resident
aliens, may enjoy the use of property but they do not have an absolute right to it, as far as ownership. Cases in point: the
state will give you color of title on your own land.
This gives you certain rights, but, ultimately what you are doing is renting that title from the state. It is 6 called property tax.
Also, you as a resident are subject to all of the various regulations governing the usage of that land, and building codes and
safety laws. If you don't know what I am talking about, ask your average home owner. Another case in point: your car. You
buy a car, and you never see the bill or origin or bill of sale. That goes directly to Sacramento. They issue a color of title called
a pink slip. It gives you certain rights, but again, ultimately you are renting that color of title from them for the registration fee.
They own the car, you don't. You put a sticker on the rear plate of your car, called a registration sticker. Look very very closely
at the sticker under bright sunlight some time. You will see a repeating octagon pattern of lines, inside which it says "Official
Use Only" which can only possibly be on a govt. owned vehicle, by legal definition. This is how they can get away with

Doom and wrote articles for their techn ical journal. Justin used the hacker name "Agent Steal. " The Leg ion of Doom is a now
defunct hacker group that was located throughout the United States. Justin's interest in hacking was primar ily out of curiosity
and his fascination with all forms of technology. Mr. Petersen is a hacker in the true sense of the word .
Justin has worked in the telecommunications and computer related fields since he was 18 years old . Prior to his arrest he had
been work ing for a large private investigation firm for over two years . There his responsibilities involved computerized
information retrieval and electron ic counter surveillance (debugg ing). The firm was known to have worked on computer fraud
invest igations.
With the exception of an eight month per iod in 1990, Mr. Petersen has lived in and around Hollywood since 1984. During that
eight months he lived in Dallas , TX while work ing on an extensive case for the private investigation firm at which he was
employed.
In 1989, Justin became assoc iated with Kevin Poulson . At this point, Pou lson was already a fugitive stemming from charges
in San Francisco . He was on the lam and wou ld soon be featured on T.V.'s Unsolved Myste ries . When the FBI learned of their
association, they started invest igating Justin . A year later Mr. Petersen was arrested in Dallas for using his computer to
illegally obtain credit cards- He was also charged in L.A. for illegally using Pacific Bell Computer systems to access telephone
lines. He in tum used the systems to guarantee that he was the correct caller in rad io stat ion phone in contests. Kevin Poulson
was also charged in this scene.
After four months in custody, Mr. Petersen signed a plea agreement wh ich transferred his case to L.A. In add ition the
government agreed to drop several charges. Included in those charges were allegations that Mr . Petersen had in his
possess ion informat ion regarding other undercover federal investigations. It has been reported from other sources that Mr.
Poulson was able to access a list of Federal w ire taps . It is believed tha t Mr. Poulson may have shared this sens itive
information with Mr. Petersen . Justin will neither confirm nor deny this. He does acknowledge the fact that as part of his plea
agreement he was required to sign a non-disclosure agreement regarding national security related matters . Also included in
the deal was what would tum out to be an extens ive cooperation agreement. Mr. Petersen was called upon to not only educate
several agents in the art of computer hack ing, but to aide in their investigation of other computer hackers . The FBI provided
him with an apartment, two computers and money for expenses . His cooperation lasted for two years and he was involved in
over a dozen cases .
During the two year period that Justin worked for the FBI, he became involved in night club promotions in his spare time . In
this effort to leave computers behind , he successfully ran 4 different clubs . One of his clubs included the now famous "On
the Rox", a private club located in West Hollywood.
A one time musician and sound engineer himself , Justin is a well known figure among the Hollywood mus ic scene . Most know
him as an attractive, fash ionably dressed night club promoter. People close to him know him as intelligent, articulate and
extremely loyal to his friends. Within the computer hacker community his talent and accomp lishments are noted . However,
most frown on his decision to investigate other hackers .
When Mr. Petersen started work ing for the FBI, it was suggested that he investigate Kevin Mitnick. The bureau had received
information that had led them to believe that Mitnick was still involved in hacking . Justin did not know Mitnick personally prior
to this but he was able to establish contact . A case was opened and an invest igation ensued .
Several months later , Mitn ick discovered that he was about to be arrested and he in tum fled . it is believed that Mitnick was
able to obtain sealed covert documents that revealed Mr. Petersen's cooperation agreement. At this point, Justin's friends ,
family as well as himself became the target of numerous hi-tech pranks and attacks . This harassment continued for over a
year , however, the FBI was unable to apprehend Mitnick . At one point Mitn ick attempted to have a drivers license photo of
Justin faxed to him at a Kinkos Copy Store . What resulted was a foot chase where he narrowly escaped arrest. Out of fear ,
Mr. Petersen fled. Regardless of his motives , the FBI would not tolerate his illegal actions.
During Justin's two year tenure as an informant, The FBI never directed him to commit any crimes . It has been alleged that
he fraudulently collected disability benefits during this per iod. As the result of a motorcycle accident in 1985 , Just in had his left
food amputated . Mr. Petersen had been using a different name to collect benefits . This name however had been used by
Justin as his primary name for over ten years . For all practical purposes he had changed his name. The allegations are merely
an attempt by Mitnick's associates to create more problems for Justin. As the result of this, Mr. Petersen's benefits were
temporarily suspended .
Justin made several attempts to rectify his situation with the FBI Needless to say, they are very upset with him for has actions
and form embarrassing the bureau. Just in rema ined a fugit ive for almost a year . During that time a few newspaper articles
appeared regarding him . These were initiated by Mitn ick associates in further attempts to create proble ms for him . Indeed
they did. He was apprehended a few weeks later on August 29 , 1994 at 2:00 a.m. Coincidenta lly, he was only two blocks from
the FBI's Los Angeles office in Westwood. Two of the agents respons ible for Mr. Petersen during his cooperation were those
who captured him. The were acting on a tip.
Mr. Petersen rema in in Federal custody in Los Angeles. Severa l newspaper art icles have appeared since then w ith
misconstrued facts and in one case he was misquoted. Thus , the need for this release . Justin is due to be sentenced on
November 27th.

Sixth Column Notes
By Non'Serviam
When I began to delve into the fraud of the Infernal Rape Service (IRS) , I began by reading a series of books
written by Irwin Schiff. His writings are based on legal facts . He has written several books such as:
o The Federal Mafia
o The Biggest Con: How the Government is Fleecing You
o The Social Security Scam
o The Great Income Tax Hoax
o How Anyone Can Stop Paying Income Taxes
o The Kingdom of Moltz
o and others
He was UNLAWFULLY put in phederal prison because he stopped "volunteering" for the phederal income tax
(tribute) . I have read the court transcripts of the case and it doesn't take a genius to see the fraud and
cover-up committed by the IRS , US Attorney , and the Federal Judge .
Irwin Schiff was to be released from federal prison in December of 1993, however it has been discovered that
he was released early l
He will be touring the country immediately, doing seminars, speak ing on radio addresses, tv and cable
interviews. During Septembe r he will be in California , and then the fun begins.
I have already been in contact with Irwin Schiff. We will be meeting with him personally when he arrives . He
has recently bought a modem and is curious about the implications of Cyber Space. (If he only knew)
I have not received any informat ion as to his cur rent schedule . Information will probably be available in
mid-September. I recomme nd that if you have the opportun ity, go to his seminar and listen to him. You will
be amazed !
The Irwin Schiff Seminar
In our last issue of DnA Magaz ine we gave detailed information about Irwin Schiff. Mr. Schiff is author of "The
Federal Mafia", and other books which give an in depth expose of the federal government's terroris t tactics in
enforcing the federal income tax system. A system of taxat ion that has been proven to be one hundred
percent voluntary .
[I am not going to debate the issue. If you want info, call DnA Systems for it, or start carrying the information
in your area of the country/p lanet]
Two days before the seminar , I received a phone call from Mr. Schiff. He had received my message , and was
very interested informat ion about Cyberspace and how it could be used to distribute information quickly . He
explained that he had a portable computer and an external modem, but didn't know how to wo rk it. I asked if
we could get together the evening before the seminar to talk and teach him on how to use the modem . He
agreed .
Pazuzu . Corwin , and myself drove out to meet with Mr. Schiff the next evening . We met him in the hotel's
lounge . After a quick round of introductions, we went up to his hotel room to work on his compute r.
After two hours of detailed instruction and information exchange , we called it a night. Mr. Schiff invited us all
back to the seminar as his guests , and wanted to speak with us again, after the seminar.
During the two hour period of tutoring, I explained to Mr. Schiff the benefits of using Cyberspace to distribute
information quickly to people all over the country and the world. He was very interested in the possibilities
and intends to become active in Cyberspace.
We also cut a deal on orde ring his books. We will be selling his books through DnA Systems shortly . Our
prices will be lower than retail, and this material can't be found in most stores.
We arrived at the seminar on time, and took a quick walk around the area. I personally was expect ing IRS
goons to be watch ing somewhere . Within ten minutes of the seminar, Mr. Schiff announced, "O.K., who are
Blacklisted! 411 1st Quarter 1996 17
the two IRS agents here now? I always have two sent out." A littie giggling lingered about the room for a
couple of seconds, and when he didn't get a response , 1I0h well, they probably are sent out just to make sure
I quote the law correctly."
Since I have been researching the Income Tax Hoax for almost half a year now, most of the beginning
information was old news. Then, Mr. Schiff went into detailed information on how to prevent the IRS from
attacking your bank accounts . Since all IRS seizures of bank accounts are done illegally, it wasn 't hard for
Mr. Schiff to discover a way to prevent it from happening . If the IRS had agents in the room, they would have
been pretty pissed off. Bummer.
After a two hour period, Mr. Schiff announced a break period. At this point Pazuzu had to leave to begin a
tape backup of the entire system, and Corwin had other duties to perform that day. So basically, I was alone
at this seminar. If any other local users showed up, I didn't recognize them, and I'm sure they didn't want to
be recognized.
I cannot put into text the faces of the other people at the seminar. During the break, I had the unfortunate luck
to see people who have been harassed by the IRS' goose stepping agents for years . Then, in the space of
two hours, they see IRREFUTABLE proof that the income tax is voluntary . Their faces were nothing less than
reality shattered. ' -
The seminar was over at around 5pm, but I stayed until around 8pm talking to people. I was trying to offer a
viable solution to an immediate problem. The problem is this: Communication . After the seminar , people will
go home, read Mr. Schiffs books, talk to their friends and family, but what then? My solution was simple : Get
a modem. By using a modem, these people could stay in instant contact with news of current events and new
information. I spoke for nearly three hours to several people. Some of whom have modems , and who do call
DnA Systems now.
All in all, the seminar was good public relations. We made many contacts, and we now have the opportun ity
to maintain stock of Irwin Schiffs books and audio cassettes . I hope that Mr. Schiff does call DnA Systems in
the near future.
Information Abounds
In the past few weeks, I have set up dialogues with a few sovereign citizen organizations that are interested
in using Cyberspace as a medium for instant communication. Some of the time I have to teach them about
the basics of data communication , but the end result is always beneficial.
These organizations are sending us information to put in electronic text format. We are gett ing more
information on Driving vs. Travelling , revoking your Social Security Number, and other things.
Income Tax Time Approaches
We draw closer and closer to the time which is signalling a cry for freedom for many people across the nation
today . Soon, we will (or most of us that is) be getting our yearly letters from the IRS. Again , the IRS is
overwhelmingly committed to assisting us poor taxpayers in understanding and comply ing with the tax laws .
Nothing could be further from my mind. However, every time I call an IRS office to "quote" the law, I get hung
up on. I guess the agent I talked to skipped his tax law course. But seriously , I want to follow the law to the
letter, but no IRS agent will answer my questions . Hmm, guess I'll go to H&R Block to see if they can help.
Hopefully we can get some audio/video of this.

THROBBING MODEMS
Reviewed by Damien Thorn
Dr. Sigmund Freud postulated that every human being is driven by two opposing forces. One is known as a life force , which
typically manifests itself through behavior such as love and procreation. The other is a destructive force that is said to push
us toward self-destructive behavior. Freud's life force typically wins the battle, and causes us to seek out an intimate partner
in our lives. When accompanied by raging hormones, we often find ourselves looking for love (or sex) in some pretty strange
places. Even Willie Nelson produced a song documenting this phenomenon .
As males, we've probably heard all of the tips over and over. Good places to meet women extend to unusual locations such
as the produce aisle in the local supermarket. Unfortunately, I haven't had much success chatting up the ladies while I'm
fondling the zucchini at Safeway.
Now there's an entirely new environment for seeking love and companionship. The Internet and online services. No surprise,
really. We've been moving online in huge droves, setting up virtual communities centered around proprietary corporate
services like America Online or local BBS systems. Whether you know it or not, sexuality is the lure that brings many.
When a site on the World Wide Web pops up that carries pornography , it's not uncommon for it to get more hits in a day than
Intel's site did when the float ing point flaw in the Pentium processor was announced . There is no escaping the fact that online
citizens are interested in far more than using file transfer protocol to download the latest shareware games or device drivers.
Those that hang out in chat rooms or Internet Relay Chat (IRC) are already fam iliar with the phenomenon of online
friendships, virtual sex, and matchmaking that occurs online. But with only about three percent of the populat ion using the
Internet, the majority of people simply have no clue. That's where former Penthouse Magazine writer Joshua Bagby steps in.
Bagby is the author of Throbbing Modems - a new book from Index Publishing Group that sets out to explain "how to find
romance and adventure on your personal computer ." And it does just that.
Throbbing Modems is a book that really should come bundled with every modem sold. It starts with the very basics of
communicating online, even including a tear-out reference card documenting common abbreviations and emoticons that are
peculiar to online chats and e-mail. From there it moves along to explaining the operation of things like IRC, private chat, and
electronic mail.
Where Throbbing Modems differs from other such books is that it gets seriously involved in explaining basic social issues. In
other words, Bagby doesn't just show readers where to go in search of friends, conversation and cybersex , but how to develop
and sustain social relationships.
This is pretty important. My observation has been that most people who are already online know how to get where they want
to go, but a large percentage have no clue how to act once they get there. We've all encountered these people, usually
flaming others who show up from AOL, and basically presenting themselves as rude, arrogant idiots.
Well, guess what guys...there is an ever-increasing percentage of women coming online everyday. Many of them tend to lurk
or adopt masculine sounding handles, which leads to the incorrect conclusion that there aren't many ladies online. Then
again, who can blame them for remaining in the virtual shadows? Who wants to be attacked by an online pack of guys who
are crashing and blundering through chat rooms and newsgroups like hormone-crazed neanderthals?
Let's face it, if a guy like Rush Limbaugh can find a wife online, so can the rest of us. And think about it for a minute. Any
woman you meet online already knows how to use a computer ! Try finding a technology savvy chick in your average bar, and
you might be looking for a long time.
Okay, I'm being very sexist here and perhaps I should be more objective since Throbb ing Modems is a book for both men and
women. The major subjects covered include:
- Meeting by modem - what it is and what it's not.
- Using different resources (the Internet, national online services, local BBSes).
- Cyberdating and the incredible allure of communicating with strangers.
- Logging-on tips for the novice in cyberspace.
- Attracting the right kind of attention with public message postings.
Capturing someone's attention with stimulating e-mail.
- Learning how to become the kind of person online people want to chat with.
- Enjoying cyberspace without going bankrupt - cost-effective BBSing.
- Developing online intimacy with the cybermate of your dreams.

- Deal ing with the different env ironments men and women face online .
- Recogn izing potential troub le online before it drags you dow n.
- Bring cyberspace relat ionships successfully into face -to-face rea lity.
Rexxxxxx, author of Modem Love, says 'T hrobbing Modems will get the important body parts of both men and women
throbbing like ' crazy , and I don 't mean just their hearts. I recommend it to everyone who loves sex , intimacy , love , and
passion, and I sure hope that describes you."
The bottom line is that this is a cool book both for the clueless newb ie and for those exper ienced online . For the experienced
among us, the $17 .95 cost of the book is worth it just for the tips on how to make online relationships work . You may not go
from be ing a propellerhead to Don Juan overn ight, but you can find comfort in the fact that the advice isn't coming from a
wrinkled Dr. Ruth . Instead you can get the hot skinny from the same guy who wrote for the magaz ine you used to read with
one hand late at night after you r parents were asleep !

Who's Afraid of Cyberporn?
by Adam Selene
The Internet is a diVerse mi cr oco sm, a socie ty of peop le from around the world who share the ir thoughts, ide as and
information. Just as in our soc iety , this microcosm has people with different views and opinions, and different morals. VIIh;:;t
is proper and accep table to one person, may not be so to another, just as in the real world . On the Internet , you can access
any information you want, you can be as social as you like, and you can live your virtual life as you wish, with none of the
lim itations of the real wor ld. However, there are now numerous groups that are attempting to assert control over your virtual
life, from the Relig ious Right, to politicians seek ing re-election. One of the hottest top ics these groups are currently using to
promote the ir agendas is the issue of Cyberporn, or pornog raphy available in an electronic form.
The virtual world of the Internet offers the ability to become whoever you want to be , shedding any inhib itions that you would
otherw ise have in the real world. However, even though you are able to hide beh ind a different personae on the Internet, there
is no way to hide your humanity. Creat ing a personae in the virtual world allows you to explore your true self, to explore parts
of yourself that you neve r knew existed , Of had repressed. In our puritanical society , we often repress our sexuality, so it is
no wonder that one of the most common things that people explore on the Internet is their own sexuality. They do this in many
ways , such as writing the ir own fantas ies for others to read, or by read ing othe r's fantasies, by retrieving expl icit pictures or
videos, or finding other like-minded ind ividua ls and "hot-ch atting: People who have. not experienced this form of self-
exploration are quick to denounce it and attempt to control it because they don't understand it.
The media has stirred up the sent iments of the few people that feel pornography onl ine is morally wrong and have amplified
in to a major issue. In the ir rush to produce stor ies on this phenomena, the med ia has created a number of myths , mostly
suggesting that hard-core pornography is readily available to children. These stor ies sugges t that kids can unwittingly stumble
across porn wh ile doing such innocent acts as researching a schoolpaper, or that pornographers are send ing their unsolicited
wares to children , thus corrupting them . There are also a number of reports citing that child molesters are obtaining access to
children and robb ing them of the ir innocence thr ough the Interne t. Th ese reports have parents up in arms , since they don 't
understand computers nearly as well as their children ofte n do, and beca use of which, they feel they have no control over what
the ir kids do or see.
Time magazine , one of the largest and most respected publications in the country prin ted a front-cover article on cyberporn
that was based on one study which was severely flawed , without testing to see if the finding s of the study wer e true before
they published it. In their article , Time report ed that over 83% of the resources on the Internet are pornography, and the article
is written to sugg est that hedoni sm runs rampant online, ju st waiting to twist the mind s of innocent young ones . The basis of
their story was a study that an undergraduate at the Carnegie Mellon University in which the student catal oge d the
descr iptions of over 917 ,000 adu lt files obta ined from local electronic bulletin board services . The main flaw with this study is
the student only logged descriptions of files , and didn't actually retrieve them. Vllhen his sources were later checked, it was
found that most of the descriptions had no files to back them up , or they turned out to be non-pornographic. In addition , he
surveyed adult bulletin boards, and not the Internet , thus provid ing incorrect numbers. Time magazine later realized that the
basis of their report was flawed , and printed a retract ion , after the damage was done .
Anti-cyberporn activi sts have waved these mis-reported stor ies as banners for their cause , in an attempt to stir parents into

ITHE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO HACK YOUR WALLET
: (and the bad guys want t~ look in it, too)
I by Bill Hayes I
._---------------------------------~
As if we didn't have enough to worry about. You can't use a cordless phone or cell phone without concern that person or
persons are listening. Maybe even ripping your number off. Well meaning clerks scrutinize your negatives at photo labs.
Your credit or debit card information circles the globe 3-4 times every day . If your phone is listed, you get junk calls, junk mail,
maybe even threats and harassment. If you're unlisted, you pay more, and the very people you do want to reach you, can't.
And if you use the very bad judgement to purchase a big ticket item with a credit card or persona l check, your privacy is kaput.
Ahh, but there's always cash. Sure, cash leaves no footprint, no paper trail, no means of backtracking the transaction. But
what if it did? And what if this was to help you and protect you?
You probably already know about it. Our currency is changing, and in fact much of it has changed . Bills denominated in $S,
$10, $20, $SO, and $100 have all been irrevocably altered with a magnet ic stripe, imbedded within the body of the bill. This,
of course is for our national protection, to stop counterfeiting, which according to some in the',Fed is ~ !1ationa l crisis.
There are other reasons for the changes in our currency, and these will be discussed in detail later. First, we must view what
changes are here and are coming soon, to a transaction near you.
Current: mag stripes in all new bills (Series 1990 and later) $S and higher.
:-.
late 96 to early 97: the $100 bill will be changed, with a larger portrait (in this case, Ben Fra~kliJi) , 'Slj9htly offset from the
center, with special ant-counterfe iting features embodied in the bill. Size and shape will rema in identical to the current C-note ,
with color tone shifted slightly more toward the grey. ' ," '.' "' , ' ,.. , -..
late 97: the same treatment for the $SOand $20 bills, with the introduction of the new $1 coin, 'the preiude to the elim ination
of the $1 bill. -
1998: all remaining denominations of bills, $2 through $10, will now be altered to match the configuration and functionality of
the original changeling, the $100 bill. '
Approx late 1999 or 2000: attrition and/or recall of all' remaining non-converted bills, and the death of the $1 bill. Most people
will not care. (At roughly this same time, the penny.will finally be terminated, with all prices being rounded up to the next S
cent point. .
So, why should you care, and what does this have to do with privacy or hacking? But read on, and you will see why the future
holds so little privacy for what's in your wallet, briefcase or purse.
The current governmenta l excuse, that is to say explanation, is that these changes will all but eliminate counterfeiting , thereby
enhancing the value of the dollar for use overseas. OK, fine, but is that the big deal for protecting 'us? For protecting me?
No, and that's just the point. People will basically not care that their currency is chang in~ , and will not care about the very
changes that are occurring to their money. The current and future explanation will be believed or ignored, and people will be
as careful or as careless with their paper notes as they are right now. Big mistake.
Right now (assuming you are reading this in 1996), you can have money, that is paper US currency , in your wallet , purse ,
briefcase, handbag, or laptop computer case, and so long as you are not held up, drop your money carrying conta iner, or
leave it behind when you are in a store or restaurant, your money is fairly secure. A wallet could have $S,OOO in it, or 3 $1 bills
and a bunch of receipts, cards, phone numbers , and various pieces of paper, and be the very same thickness . No one could
tell without looking inside, right? '(I'm assuming here that you do not pass by a cash sniffing dog, which are in vogue by certain
governmental agencies involved in the war on drugs. Interestingly , these beasts actually do smell the cash, not the drug
residue.that is supposeoly on all our money.) . .
Technology, however, marches on. The magnetic stripes which prevent counterfeiting are detectab le, and not just point
blank. A single, mag striped bill can be detected from several meters, and even through walls using current, rathe r cheap
detecting equipment. For the impact of this little revelation to be meaningful , you must understand the STATED and REAL
purposes of the stripes, and how they actually work.
Sometime next year, I go into my favorite magazine store, pick up a few tech zines, maybe an out of town paper or an
Investor's Daily, with an industrial size cup of kona. The bleary-eyed clerk takes my $SObill, and passes it over a small
scanning-type device, which says on the checkout display terminal $SObill/SOOK, or some SUCh. A $SO bill doesn't ju st have
a mag stripe in it to be there, it actually emits an electromagnetic signature specific to a $SO bill. Consequently, a $20 emits
the signature of a $20 bill, and not that of two $10 bills. Each bill denom ination emits a distinctive, detectable and decernab le
electromagnetic signature. This is big, and I'm amazed at nobody has figured out the next step. The government sure has.
And, so, I'm sure, will a number of technically able bad guys.
The very next step---and I'll go out on a limb here and say the Fed may admit this- -is to check the cash of people leaving and
entering the country. In case you do not realize it, it is the government's business whenever you are involved in a transa ction
of $10,000 or more in cash, or leave the US, or enter from anywhere , with one cent more than $10,000. I will not bore you
explanations, suffice it to say the Fed REAllY wants to know, and if you do not fill out the appropr iate forms (CTR or CMIR),
you are in deep doodoo, and your money, all of it, can be seized, and possibly even forfeited. Gone. Forever. And now there
is an electronic means of detect ion.
24 1st Quarter 1996 Blacklisted! 411
Many travelers do not bother to declare their currency , hiding it in their pockets, socks, bags, etc., or passing it around among
other travelers in his group . And it is far too difficult and time consuming to shake down every single person who leaves and
enters the country. Remember , when a Customs Inspector is looking for drugs, he might just miss wallets, purses, disk
pouches which contain the big green. Wouldn't it be great for the Fed if they could look inside such inconveniences as
clothing, luggage, pouches, and wallets, to detect money-down to the last $5 or $2 bill? Think of how much protection we
could give the American people !! they must think to thems elves.
This is not just "Big Brother is Watching You" ranting . This is the mere statement and explanation of evolutionary technical
progress , the confluence of electronics, Federal law enforcement, the continuous intrusion into the privacy of people
everywhere, and the need to protect. Remember, this is only the FEDERAL Government detecting your cash, and only at
borders , the ingress and egress of the ·country. What if local and state agencies were to procure "this technology? Can you
even imagine the protection we'd then be subject to?
Using' detection devices that are currently in existence (but fortunately used for other things, at this time), some well-meaning
local bureaucrat could cruise by your home and detect that $7,500 you have stashed in your mattress for that trip to Hong
Kong. Standardized and miniaturized cash detectors , distributed throughout the United States, could keep a close count on
hoarded currency. Remember , this is just for national well-be ing. The elimination of the underground economy , the detection
(for prosecution) of caches of drug money , the track ing of otherwise untrackable cash transactions, and from afar (maybe
hundreds of meters , with larger amounts of cash, or at a directed target). And of course, the boosting of the US tax base. All
to protect you and make your life better. Feel better yet?
But this isn't all of it -maybe not even the worst of it.
It used to be, when a technology came along that could be used for good, it took a considerable amount of time for it to be
used for bad. Let's make the rather strained assumpt ion that all governmental uses of this technology will be good. But let's
consider the alternatives to good and protection.
As almost anyone with the technical knowhow to understand half the articles here in BLACKLISTED! has the wherewithal to
listen in on a cordless or cel phone conversation, covertly photograph technicians fixing or upgrading the organs of our utilities,
and/or hack various of the machines of our society, then consider a technical criminal with merely this much knowledge of our
new currency. Knowing further that most people carry SOME cash, and keep SOME amount of money in their homes, this
would motivate our bad guy to geUmake/obtai n some cash detection equipment. You go to where the fish are biting, right?
Our bad fella would then have, for a few thousand or a few hundred dollars (probably the latter), the same capability
as local governments to detect, count, and sort out his targets---remotely. [Do not think for a minute that the Fed would allow
it's top eschalon technology down to the local government level: that degree of protection is just not necessary .]
So, our bad guy can remotely (from several meters , or a couple of stories up on a building, or probably through one wall), note
that a man who lives alone, and who is gone a great deal, keeps a large number of $20s and $50s somewhere in his
apartment. How about having a spotter at a second or third story window, doing the remote sensing of people walking by. A
male target of 6'3" would probably be avoided , even with a bunch of money detected. But a woman or small-statured man
witrr a few hundred dollars, exiting not far from a bank or credit union , would be an ideal target for the partner on the 'ground
for the "hit." And these citizens, just going about their business, are ratted out by the contents of their billfolds.
So, what to do? Is there a solution to detection, or are we, by the very nature of advancing technology, doomed to broadcast
to bureaucrats , Feds and Cops, and all who can afford the electronics? No. There are readily doable, low-tech solutions to
this problem , and every reader should begin soon to "block" his money.
,What is "blocking" money , and how will it help keep you secure in the broadening electronic environment? You block the
signal, the electromagnetic signature, that the currency gives off. This is not hard to do, but it requires new habits to be
applied by the user-that's us-so that we are not detected, just viewed as another boring non-target. In your home or in your
car: keep your cash in a metal box, or metal-lined box, and well secreted (under your seat covered by stuff, better still in your
trunk under the spare if in your car, in your kitchen under pots and pans, under a large appliance, or in your garage under the
dryer; never in a closet or drawer'as these are the "normal" hiding area).
Cash with you: keep your bills wrapped in aluminum foil, with one of those flat, flexible refrigerator magnets inside the foil with
the bills. This will tend to disrupt and dissipate the signature of the bills. Naturally, if you're carrying $42 on you, and your
largest bill is a $10, you probably don't need to go to this trouble. BUT, if you're going to get paid, withdrawing cash for a trip
or a purchase, or just carrying cash because that is your habit, take a square of foil and a refrigerator magnet. Wrap it all up
while still inside, where you receive your cash , put the whole thing in a front pocket, if you can. Every little edge makes you
more secure.
BTW, if you are using a metal box for home storage of cash, put several of the flat, rubbery magnets on the OUTSIDE of the
box. Someone would actually have to find the box to know there was cash in it, the cash's signature would not be decernable
to remote sensing.
Don't try this at home: a few weeks ago, I was on a radio talk show, discussing privacy concerns and the new issue of
currency . One caller said he worked in a recording stud io at an NPR affiliate , and used bulk tape erasers (large
electromagnets used to erase audio and video tapes, as well as flopp ies and OATs) to erase the information on the back of
his credit cards. He asked me if bulk erasing would work for cash. Yes, but don't do it. Reason: soon, all bills will be scanned,
like credit cards, or items at a store, for their signatures. If a $20 bill does not register a $20 electromagnet ic signature, it will
be considered a counterfeit , and will be forfeited. By you. This in fact is the original intent of the mag stripe, about one inch
from the left hand side of new series bills (look at one with a magnifying glass). Someone with good paper and an ultra-high-
res laser printer can't duplicate the mag-stripe--so please don't bulk erase your bills. When scanning of bills becomes
common in late 96 or 97, your erased bill is considered counterfeit, and you'll lose it. This just covers the remote, electronic
aspects of our new and improved currency. But you do need to be informed-the new series bills, starting with the Franklin
$100 next year, will be trackable as well. Cash will no longer be anonymous for most retail transactions.

The new C-note, and later ALL BILLS DOWN TO THE $2 BILL, will have a tiny bar code secreted in at least one place on the
obverse side (front) of the bill . Maybe several places on the bill. I have not yet been able to determ ine if different
denominations of bill will have the barcode secreted in different places- Now, how does this make your transaction no longer
anonymous? . .
Image capture, recording , and archiving has gotten dirt cheap as have most things electron ic. Ever get a picture 10 card at a
membership club outlet, like a Sam's Club store? The camera is no longer a passport -type Polaroid or some such, it is a tiny
Sony CCD cam, your image is dumped into a Mac or 486 type PC, and your membership 10 card is generated , wh ile you wait
(and not very long), voila, almost instant picture 10, without the cumbersome need of taking a picture.
Coming very soon to a reality near you-while your bill (probably $10 or higher) is being scanned to make sure it is A-OK, your
picture is being taken (actually, your image is being captured) by a tiny CCD camera on the wall, indistinguishable from a
security camera. The bar code on the bill is logged below the captured image. Images , by the thousands , will be archived on
zip disks, 8 mm tape, CD-WORM, almost anything that security firms, AND GOVERNMENTS , can agree on. Figured it out
yet? .
Anywhere you are, you know that to avoid leaving a trail, you don't use checks , credit or debit cards, don't use ATM's, you
purchase all your gas and food and everything else with cash. Of course . But, in the very near future (the infrastructure is
being laid out now, folks) , your cash transact ions will come with your image being captured to tape or to disk, and the
barcodes of the very money you spend being linked and archived to your image. Anywhere you are, you'll be tracked.
Now if you're a typical law abiding citizen (well, maybe that's going out on a limb --you read BLACKLISTED !, and I write for
em), this might mean nothing to you. Yet this seeming built-in alibi will confirm what you DID or DID NOT do, and this will be
the cause of more problems , more loss of privacy, than you can ever imagine. Or maybe you can.
So, readers, be careful with your cash, stay as private as possible, take your own action, and fight, every way you can, these
intrusions into our privacy . You must take whatever action you seem fit. If you are of a political action persuasion , your
Representatives and Senators are surprisingly interested in what you want, in what concerns you. Privacy concerns me a lot,
and my conqressrneu know just where I stand. Do you speak out, write letters to the editor, maybe even write articles, call
talk shows, make your voice, your concerns , heard loud and clear? Just because the Government's plan of action seems to
be set in stone doesn't mean that stones can't be broken. Privacy is not given to you, but it is taken away from you by your
own inaction. Hide your bills (that is, block them from detection), take secure counteract ions, start taking action of your own,
and be heard. The privacy--and life-you preserve may be your own. I'm taking action every day. You doing the same?

support ing their beliefs. Politicians have ju mped in on the act, proposing new bills in an attemp t to control cyberporn. Senator
James Exon (0 - Nebraska ) introduced the Communications Decency Act of 1995 into Congress , a bill wh ich wa s passed by
the Senate that wou ld impose unrea listic restrictions on online service providers. Presidential-hopeful Senator Bob Dole (R -
Kansas) has introduced The Protect ion of Children from Compu ter Pornography Act of 1995, a bill that , accord ing to Wired
magazine, is so compl icated that not even it's sponsor understands it. Both of these bills have been called unconst itutional,

sites that feature porn are often difficult to find , and even when you find them , they always have a discla imer warn ing you that
you are entering an adult area before you even get to the actua l page . When you do reach these pages , the pornography is
most often soft-core. "
A myth that has parents running scared is that pornographers are actively recru iting children , or that molesters are gett ing
the ir hands on them . Logic plays a major role in this myth - what does the pornographer stand to gain by sending his wares
to a child? In the case of molesters, they can't get their hands on your children if they don't know where they live. Responsible
parents would teach their children to not give out any information about themselves. .
I believe that parents should calm down and realize that the med ia and special interest groups have been taking them for a
ride. Pornography is a part of our culture , so naturally it exists on the Internet. However so does a wealth of information and
knowledge that no child should be depr ived of. Children cannot see pornography unless they consc iously choose to, any child
that sees a pornographic image does so by the ir own cho ice. I personally feel children who choose to retrieve pornog raphy
shou ld be allowed to, so that they can be exposed to reality , and because if they don't do it online they will do it in the real
wor ld, as children have done for decades . However, the child should be counseled on what they see or read , so that they
know and understand the truth . The parent is the child's teacher and guard ian, if a child is affected by pornography, it is
through the fault of the parent , not society . Act ive parent ing is the best solut ion, the best way to know what your child is gett ing
into is to talk to them . If you are offended by pornography, instill those values into your children so that they will be too . The re
are programs ava ilab le tha t w ill screen out all references to sex and all known sexually-oriented sites on th e Internet.
However , nothing is foolproof except good parent ing.

Technoless Hacks
by the xspOOk
Let's face it. One of the main motivators on why we hack (short of trying to prove how elite we are) is the cost of living. We
I
can't all afford that nice new 104 megabyte Microcrank Word Processor , so we call on those horrible warez dOOdz to provide
it for us. Or, how about the outrageous pricing by everyone's favorite institution, the phone company? This is exactly what
compels us to learn about color box techniques as well as computers , cable TV, etc...
So what about the everyday things that cost us money. Well some things can be hacked without even knowing technical
details. Here are a few of my favorite: ,.
Parking Meters
If your city has the old non-digital parking meters you can get the full time amount with just one penny. Scrape a penny on the
ground in a manner that you are trying to give Lincoln a lobotomy. I usually carry inside my car a pair of pliers or wire cutters
so I don't have to take the time to scrape a chunk off of the penny. Size it so that it just fits into the dime slot. When the penny
can fit the slot, jam it in and crank the knob. What happens here is that the penny is stuck allowing more cranks on the knob
which is what gives more time. The penny is eventually dropped into the vast majority of silver coins (and a few lobotomized
pennies) in which by then you should have the full amount of time. Save your coins for a soda.
Local Mail
Let's say you're going to throw a party for a few select friends and need to send out a few invitations. They all live in the local
area. Go ahead and make out all your invitations but address the envelope with your name as the sendee and who it's
supposed to go to as the sender. Don't includethe postage. Now drop the letters in different mailboxe s (make an attempt not
to be localized.) The invitation should be mailed back to "sender" for insufficient postage. Claim ignorance if caught.
Soda Machines .
I just seem to have the worst luck with soda machines. They are always taking my money and never give me what I want.
Revenge is rewarding...The machine needs to have one of those dollar bill slots while you need a dollar and some scotch
tape. Tape one end of the dollar bill with two extention tabs that your fingers and opposing thumbs can grab onto. Place the
dollar bill in the slot and let the mach ine accept your bill. Just when you no longer see any of the bill yank it out by the tape
tabs. Youshouldnow, if done right, get yo ~r soda and maybe pocket some Change.. Use' the'ch ange ! O r,the parking meter:..
(Uh~.. by the wa~, 'ihese are considered illegal almost everywhere so...well you know.)
TONY'S,WORKSHOP
Ok, this be my first article here. Each issue will present a classic arcade game from a techn ical standpoint. The first game in
the series is Space Invaders.
Space lnvaders was one of the very first microproCessor-based arcade games . .Desiqned originally by Taito, it inspired a
a
whole new'genre, the shootemup. It is true historicallly important game, one worthy of note in any context.
On the technical side of things, Space Invaders was composed of an 8080A microproces sor (8 bit Intel) 8K of program ROM,
and a bank of dynamic RAM for the screen memory . Space Invaders used a bit-mapped screen 'system in which the pixels
were plotted under CPU control, then clocked out as video data .
The sound section of Space Invaders was compo sed of a series of circuits, one for each sound effect. Each one used several
3900 op amp circuits with the exception of the explosion sound, which used n TI 76477 sound chip made by TI. This sound
chip was used in some later games such as Nibbler & Vanguard & Fantasy . The invention of the GI chip AY3-8910 rendered
this chip obsolete, along with the seperate circuit sound sections. .,,
\ '. "" . .- .'.'- ' .
Space Invaders had two Easter Eggs within the proqram. One effect could be performed by saving a skull as the last enemy.
He would then begin drawing exclamation marks: and erase them on the way back, If you did this trick on a Space Invaders
Deluxe, you would recieve the Rainbow trick, in which the exclmation marks would explode in a sort of "oil gusher" effect. This
trick also works in the sequel "Return of the Invaders". (It is not known by me if the 3rd sequel Majestic 12 also has the same
secret. When I can find a game, I can update this point on the article). There is a rumored second secret within the game, but
the enabling trick and effect remains unknown to me. (if anyone knows this,second secret, please write.to Blacklisted! 411.
Thank you.) .

Call Security - Does it exist?
~----------------------------------~
Does call security exist? Well, sure....if you have some money to lay down on the equipment - and what a hassle to use, since
most of the people you'd want to talk to would also need similar equipment such as yours. The fact is that your calls, no matter
if it's on a cordless , cell phone or hard line, your call may be monitored (or tapped , lnsome instances - at least, that's what
the official word if for hard line monitoring of a telephone line.) See the picture below? That's a shot of what people in the
business refer to as a "J-box· , "phone closet" or ·utility closet"..no matter what it's called, do you have any idea what this is?
It's a security hazard, for one.
Others would look upon this
as a great "opportunity" or
SUCh. In my eyes, this is a
learning experi ence . Wha t
we have in this picture is at
least two dozen phone lines -
complet ely unprotected and
available for anyone to use,
steal phone calls on (with use
of a beige box - a linemans
testset - a phone with
alligator clips, for easy
hookup to a phone line), take
pictures of , browse
, and pilfer through it,
vandalize, modify, etc. One
must wonder why it's so easy
to open one of these suckers
up and play around inside.
Number one on the list: No
locks! After that are a zillion
other reasons. The point is
simply to say that a j-box is
an easy target for the hi-tech
criminal, just waiting to take
his (or her) share of the billion
dollar annual theft of service.
In apartment buildings in the
• lower middle class, cheap6
housing for the low income all the way up to the HUGE condominium complexes for the upper middle class...you see these
little j-boxes... sitting there. With gobs of wires twisting throughout it's innards. Nobody's safe from the invisible fly by night
phone freak who's job it is to access your line and use it for whateve r reason ...from listening in on your personal or business
conversations to using the line themselves for their own purposes - perhaps to make a few 1-900-EAT-BUTT calls. If you're
paranoid about this sort of thing already...and you always wonder what that little click you hear every so often when you're
talking to someone...and you kid with each other about how "the operator is probably listening".... You may not be too far from
the truth. ANYONE can listen to you if they want to! Don't panic. There's a solution. Purchase yourself (and all of your
friends, family and anyone you talk with) a phone voice scrambler set. It'll slow down the eavesdropping, at least!

GdJIMg h!J ANI
Submitted by Rebel
Lately I have been experimenting with ways to get around ANI (Automatic number identification ) and I have
found some interesting results with different methods. For example , here in New York and in many states in
the North East, some long distance companies will have 950 accesses to get to their network . Compan ies
like MCI and Frontier, based in Rochester, N.Y., MCI being the national company and Front ier being
Rochester company that only handles the Northeastern states . One would have an account with one of these
companies, and one wo uld dial 950-#### that would be a free call from most any phone. Then you hear a
tone. At that point, you would enter your "Calling card access number ." At that point , you would enter the
phone number you wanted to call. When the bill comes , only the number called appears . I have asked the
billing representative where the calls came from and she said there is no way of getting that information .
When 1 dial Frontier's 950 number, I get a tone. The access code is six digits, so 1 dialed 123456 and then
zero+area code+number to see what would happen. I got a Frontier operator who asked me the number I was
calling from. I was calling from a pay phone in New York City and I told her I was calling from the 315 area
code; I gave her a number at random. She took the number and she asked how 1wanted to place the call, so
I said collect. I called my home collect and when we got the bill, it showed the collect call from the 315 area
code and the number I had given the operator! I did the same thing again but this time I gave the Frontier
operator an exchange that did not exist I said I was calling from 516-909-9901 . When the bill came , the call
did not even show up! I tried giving an area code that did not exist , like the 710 area code; this had the same
results. This means if the area code , or exchange , or both do not exist , they cannot put it on your bill because
they are not billable numbers . Thus , I made an UNTRACEABLE FREE CAL L!
One can also do this with MCI. I have an account with MCI and I have to dial an 800 number to reach the
system. I enter my card number and the number I want to call. When I get the bill I get the number that I called
from and the number called ; if I use their 950 number to reach the network it shows the 950 number as the
number called from on the bill. Their 800 number has ANI. However, I can spoof the ANI by having the local
zero operator dial the 800 number for me. ANI is not passed from the local operator to the MCI 800 number .
I can do the same thing that I did with Frontier. One can use 1-800-COLLECT and make it so the party on the
other end will not get billed. One can even get a form number from somewhere other than where I was calling
from. A T&T has an 800 number one can call to place calling card and collect calls . I just have the zero
operator dial the 800 number and the operator will come on and ask for the number calling from. I do the same
thing and I could charge it to a calling card.
I wonder why when you have the zero operator connect you to a long distance carrier , (AT&T, MCI, Frontier ,
Etc.) the ANI is passed . It is not when an 800 number or a local number is dialed . When an operator calls a
number that has Caller 10, the Caller 10 box shows "Out of area."
In conclusion, 950 numbers do not have ANI and zero operators do not pass the ANI when dialing local
numbers and 800 numbers.
