I had the same situation where everything I touched just sprung open. I found out that much more $ gave a slightly higer quality of lock. Try the Medico (the one with the sidebar and angled pins). Have you every thought how to pick magnetic locks? Then there are those round, tube-type locks (rim cylinder) like use on vending machines and some padlocks. There are also the locks that the key consists of a flat "bar" which has multiple holes (or pits) of various depths and locations on both its sides (not edges). For lots of practice, go to a scrap or junk yard etc., they usually have many types and are bought per their weight in iron. ************************************************************************** 2)From: Mike Gevaert Subject: Re: Computer interception 6)From: BADCOFFEE@aol.com Subject: Computer interception >if someone tapped a phone line that was currently ON LINE with a >service....hooked up a laptop with the same online software as the one being >intercepted......and just turned the computer on...what would happen? If >something was to happen...would the "interceptor" need to turn on at the >EXACT time of the one intercepted? The chances of that working are next to nil. When a modem connects, as you may hear, the two modems "handshake" they talk to each other and establish their speed, error correction, etc. If you were to just "break-in" on the line in with two modems transferring data, it just wouldn't work. I even doubt that it would work if the modem you were using was "online" when the two modems connected. Another problem is that your modem would have to create no LIne noise. Modems are sensitive pieces of equipment that can't stad _a lot_ of noise. Most taps would creat that noise, therefore preventing the Modems to connect at top speed. Hopefully that answers your question. Also, I remember a debate on Spamming and how to counter attack. I think someone said to look at the header, etc, to get the sender, then a whois command, etc? I have found a program that will do this automatically. Hopefully it works as good as it sounds, the address is: Http://support.oncomdis.on.ca/nonags/emu16.html FYI EMU stands for Email Utilities.

Please advise me about these "babies"....they have me baffled....and I love it. Also: In reference to a post from an individual on Radio Shack cordless mic's. Forget the base thatit comes with...use a scanner to listen to frequency (forgot what it was, e-mail me and I'll find it for you).....hook an amp to the scanner (kerioke works well..cause it has recording capability) to boast things up a bit....and you got yourself an inexpensive little system and the range is not too bad. Beauty is...everything could run off batteries or plug into your vehicle....so the "baggage", with exception to the 3x2" transmitter....is not a problem. :-) Just my input on an inexpensive transmitting and receiving system. See if Radio shack sells these transmitters without the base and it should cost you less than $25 bucks for the transmitter, If not...the base and transmitter costs about $60 bucks) Be good ************************************************************************** 10)From: "Erik C.

I have recently set up a 'portable' surveillance unit, consisting of a 12v DC camera with zoom, 12v DC Time lapse recorder, and a power supply in the form of a heavy duty truck battery. The camera is hidden in a sedan 'looking out a window', the power supply and recorder are in the boot of the vehicle. The operating temperature for the recorder is between 0 & 40 degree's celcius. The system is used in Australia where the 'outside' temperature is between 15 and 35 degree celcius. Obviously the inside of the vehicle is much warmer. I am interested in any ideas as to how I can keep the recorder cool.. Or at least well within it's operating temperature.

Briefcase combo locks- Each combo is really a disk with a notch in it. When all the notches on the disk are in line with the position of the latch botton...the latch presses fully to the direction of the combo's and the lock opens. ok..now we know how it works. Here's how to manipulate it: Press the latch botton reasonably hard in the direction of the combo's. The dial closest to the latch button is hereby #1. Start with dial one on zero. Press firmly...and spin dial 2 randomly. No pressure on dial 2? Great...dial ONE goes to the next number. Still no pressure on number 2? Go to next number on dial 1. Keep this up till you feel resistance on dial 2. When you feel resistance..this means that the pin on the latch botton is Now going THROUGH the notch in the first dial...and you got that one solved. Do this again for dial 2. When that is solved...just try each of the 10 numbers for dial 3 and POP...its open. Now....when it's open, press the latch botton to the direction of the dials...and spin the heck out of all the dials....This will change the combo's and someone is about to have a real bad day. Note: The more pressure you put on the latch botton....the easier it it to feel resistance. Use a lighter....cause your thumb will hurt. This is a quick process and should take no longer than 30 seconds. If you have any problems with any dials on the ZERO....go the other way. Let me know if this does not work on your briefcase....for I am unaware of every style of briefcase lock. be good ************************************************************************** 15)From: Leo Subject: Re: Surveillance Question > > Residential phones have 4 wires... > what happens if you connect all 4 > wires to the same listening device/recorder > instead of having 2 separate recorders?

So if you are a programmer or whatever or can legally distribute or have names and addresses of these contacts, pass them on to all on the list, after all someone may have exactly what you have been looking for. I have a gut feeling that there are alot of you out there, so lets go somewhere with this. Even if the software has a price tag on it, it might be worth considering to all on the list. As far as "FREE" software whether on floppy or CD-ROM ofcourse the members would have to pay for the cost and postage of the said items. Here`s a list of items that could be of interest. Investigative Database software. DTMF decoding software. Video enhancement software. Spectrum analyzer software. Sound enhancement software. Fingerprint enhancement software. Schemetrics,plans on electronics software. Identification software. Telephone catalogue software. Forensic software. The list could be endless, however i would be very surprised at the response to this, after all i recently supplied a contact name and address for free database software on electronics products and a whole lot more on CD-ROM.

Very simple -- they are the standard pin shape, but have a notch all the way around their diameter... The theory goes that as you're picking the pins, you won't tend to push them straight up or down, and they'll catch the notch on the side of the cylinder that they travel up and down in... So you feel the 'click' and think you have that pin picked, when in reality, you don't... As you become more proficient, they become less of a problem... Just wait till you see the Medeco's -- which have the chisled pins that have to be rotated a specific number of degrees (done by the cut of the key) to light up all the notches in the sides of the pins so a sidebar can snap in...

Well, if you are looking for a fairly inexpensive technique... one that will work well in low light (say a dim streetlight or less). get an ordinary 35mm camera capable of manually adjusting the ISO settings a tripod and kodak T-MAX p3200 B/W film. what you then do with the film is "push" the ISO rating. by pushing the film you decrease the amount of light the film needs to make an exposure. your typical daylight film is rated at 100/400 but you can push this T-MAX film to 25,000 or so (i have pushed film much higher but the negatives get VERY grainy). all you have to do is set the ISO rating on the camera to the whatever you want and then take your pictures. use a tripod as you will definitely want longer exposure times and you will probably be using a long lens. the trick to getting good exposures though is with the processing of the pushed film. you can't just process the pushed film at its nominal rating, you have to process it at its pushed rating. which means if you send it to a lab to be processed, you will have to tell them. or better yet do the processing yourself. it is not very hard, it just takes a little practice. pushing is a very common technique by professional photographers that shoot in low-light situations where a flash is not feasible so any decent photography book should have a more detailed explanation than i gave here. the big drawback of doing this is, however, that if not done right, your negatives will get so grainy that they will be useless. but it is good alternative if you don't have expensive equipment.

(You may bye one for approx. 85USD) The pager does have a audio and a vibrator notice for received messages. How to construct a remote switch? 1. Take the connections for the vibrator and connect them to the primary side of a solenoid. (the solenoids primary side should be 1.5V and the secondary between 12V and 250V) 2. Connect the secondary side of the solenoid over the 12V supply cable leading to the coil. (If you need a drawing of this mail me, and I'll send you a blueprint of it) 3. If you would want to remotely switch of your car... just pick up the phone and dial your Motorola Echo! Best regards L. J.

And that'll probably only work in DC, as you're likely aware of already. There are a few ANAC lists floating around out there for specific geographical areas, but most are either outdated or partial listings. If you want to find your number from just about anywhere, just call up the AT&T account servicing center at 800.222.0300 and press 1 when you hear the recording, or the Info Access automated blocking system at 800.568.3197. There are several of these toll-free services out there. Some are public, and some are intended for private/telco use. I'm giving you a couple of those which are public, obviously. We all know what happens when these things get overused (remember 800ANIIS?). Anyhow, that should do it for you. CrACKeD ************************************************************************** 4)From: Rick Dixon Subject: Re: Cable descrambler I have played with several designs for cable descramblers. The circuit described will be a simple "notch filter" circuit which will only descramble the type of signal that has an audio/video "noise" signal impressed on the channel. You can tell if you have that type if it makes a loud beep beep noise and has vertical swiggly lines which you can fine tune to just make out a picture with loud noise or little noise and no picture. The notch filter just filters out the noise and leaves most of the sound/picture. If I could find it in all of my mess, I have several circuits which work somewhat, but usually require tweaking with the adjustable cap. Our cable system only uses that system for scrambling HBO on CH 3. All of the rest are scrambled using the removal of the sync pulse. They require a circuit to artificially replace that pulse. I would be interested in that circuit as it is also useful for Van Eck play. ************************************************************************** 5)From: Trace Carpenter Subject: Re: Locks For anyone like BADCOFFEE who is interested in lock picking there is a manual that is all over the web.

JC made sure he put a disclaimer in there and stated he was not associated with this and I wanted to make sure everyone knew that and didn't think I was slamming him. The passing on of info only helps us all. Anyway, I just wanted to warn the list that if this is the break I think it is after reviewing the parts list, it won't work in hardly any of the markets left. There are different types of systems out there. One is the digital system which requires you to use the cable companies box. It has an address in it and can be activated or shut off at the cable companies office. Therefore, if you pay your bill for premium service, and your cheap father-in-law doesn't, you could take your box over to his house and watch HBO instead of having to talk to him. Another system puts traps in the line which shunt's the signal for a particular channel to ground. On these systems, if you took the shunts out of the line and hooked the cable directly to the tv, you'd get everything. Then there are other types that require tubes to descramble the signal for each channel. Of course, there are variations for each of these systems, and yes they can all be broken. Nothing is completely secure even the new DSS satallite systems now have breaks available. But beware, the Feds don't take kindly to it. However, if you're reading this from another country, it's probably legal as long as you don't descramble the signals from stations in your country. Depending on the country, it may be. -- Trace Carpenter 214.828.4520 214.828.1917 Facsimile ************************************************************************** 7)From: Trace Carpenter Subject: Need to know a phone number response >Lets say your a '90s type of guy, got your trusty little laptop hooked up >with your modem and your waiting to receive a fax (or something) or maybe >you just want to know what the phone number is at that particular location >so you can have someone call you. OK....so how do you do it? The number you were referring to for Washington D.C. is what is referred to as an "A.N.I." which stands for automated number identification. There are number for different areas and markets around the country. There are also a few of them out there that will work anywhere in the country. The one I use appears to be down, however there are even some for profit through the private sector. They are usually supplied by the "trap line" companies. On the other hand, if I'm out doing a TSCM search and need to know which line I'm on and I don't have a good ani for the area I'm in, I often call my cell phone from that line. Yes even my cell phone has caller ID. Isn't technology wonderful. Oh yeah, one last thought. You can also get it from the operator if you know the right code to give her. The one for my area changes every month, but it's a sequencing of the date, so you always know what the current code is. It'll be different for different areas. Hope this helps. If you're asking around for the ANI for your area, don't confuse it with the CNA number.

Worth First thanks to Spyking for the ANI list. An update for the Dallas area. Although the posted number works in most areas of the Dallas/Ft.Worth Metromess, there are a few C.O.'s that require you to use a prefix from that C.O. for example if the local office has the following exchanges, 212, 213, 222, & 225, you would dial 970-XXX-1111. I say 1111 but any four digits would work. The XXX would be replaced by a prefix from that C.O. -- Trace Carpenter 214.828.4520 214.828.1917 Facsimile ************************************************************************** 3)From: WindWalker7 Subject: CTV for Free Those simple notch filter circuits just don't work anywhere anymore. The cable companies have known for years that people were doing this and developed a different system. The only way to get free CTV anymore is to buy a cable box from a third party with a test card in it, or just buy the test card if you are electronically skilled. You have to really want "free cable" though because the box usually costs about $300. More info about this sort of thing is available at http://www.scramblingnews.com/ . They also have info on mini-dishes as well as CTV. -WindWalker ************************************************************************** 4)From: BADCOFFEE@aol.com Subject: Brief case locks If you read my last post about opening briefcases and yours didnt open. Please try this. If the dials are "recessing" when you put moderate pressure on the latch button and become hard to spin. I want you to change gameplan and...press the latch button in the OPPOSITE direction and start feeling for pressure on the #3 combo. (furthest from latch button)...and use "feather light pressure. . Spin it, does it "stick" on any certain number. Start your manipulation on this tecnique always from the number 3 dial because you are "pulling" the pin to make resistance with the dial. If anyone missed my last post about "my" briefcase lock or this lacks detail or are just plain confused....mail me at Badcoffee@aol.com If you tried this and "your's" don't open...I would like to know about it. it would be a great help to me. :-) Be good If you have a high security breifcase, could you please tell me about the brand or any spec's about the locking systems....the people at the briefcase store are getting on my nerves and want me to buy something :-) PS- My words are not BIBLE, you have to try my tecniques before you hit the field with them....still learning here.

The UK 175 number is a line testing number which will dial you back but does not normally tell you your number. If 175 does not work, then try 174 as these nos seem to be area dependent none of them "noramlly" tell you your number. However, they did (and still might) work in small rural areas which have really old mechanical exchanges. *********** As far as I can remember, the book I read about 7 years ago had something like.... The scrambled wave is separated into two sources source (a) & (b). (a) to amplify this raw source and (b) to filtre (let the interference through) the interference. Once the interference is obtained, then it is amplified and inverted. The outputs from (a) and (b) are adjusted to the same level, then added together (by using an op-amp) which hopefully cancels out (the noise element from (b) is 180 degrees out of phase cancelling itself out leaving only the info intact). Now for the bit that seemed an overkill and did not make too much sense and I could not see why it was there... The modulator at transmission added a steep, narrow fixed frequency sine wave and could not be effectively filtered as the bandwidth of the filters was too great and the signal too large. Also the origional circuit took the output from (b) and used it to trigger its own fixed frequency oscillator using a PLL circuil to keep the oscillators timing correct then shifted its oscillators wave by 180 degrees and then fed it to the mixer with (a). No, I can not remember why it used its own oscillator. PLL but perhaps it would solve the cap problem?

HERE we go.... Temporarily forget all previuos advise on brief case combos. While scrubbin/raking this nightmare mushroom pin lock that is laughing at me so hard that it woke my kids.......I had an idea. Scrob the combo??? Hmmmm Step 1: Apply pressure to the latch button (this is where the action happens...lightly or heavy) you want the dials to spin freely and stop applying pressure when the dials feel a little resistance. Step 2: Now...take your middle finger (use another finger if you dont have one) and "glide" them across all the dials...UP and DOWN...spining the dials in both directions completely at random. Step 3: Do NOT apply heavy pressure with your middle finger while spinning as to force a dial that might have hit extrodinary resistance to go further. Just let the dial slide off your finger and stop. Also...try to spin FLAT with your finger...not the tip. You don't want to put downward pressure on the dials...and the flat part of your finger will give you a good "scrub" about almost a full 10 numbers. Scrub at least 2 at a time for those of you with small fingers...go for all 3 if you can. Step 4: You WILL absolutely feel the latch button move when you hit all 3 numbers. If your pushing in the oposite of the normal opening direction...you will still feel it "give" just check the oposite direction (opening direction) when you feel the "give" to open the lock. Eventually: (less than 10 seconds) All 3 dials hit light resistance and stop. The latch button will move forward...and it's open. This is why it happens: I have no idea...but the lock opens. NOTE: Beware of the number ZERO NOTE: This whole things "REVOLVES" around proper pressure. Both..the latch botton pressure and the spin finger pressure. NOTE: Even if you are pressing the latch botton in the opening direction and all 3 dials are in position. You still MUST...release pressure and re-apply pressure to open it. A briefcase is a place that people put important papers that they don't want to misplace or think that it is a secure place. 99% of the briefcases i've ever seen are under $50 bucks. I would assume that the great majority of briefcases are just as cheap as mine. If the price goes up...it is not because it is more secure....as people might think they are.....it is because an aligator died in the making of the "secure" place. The locks are probably all made in good old China. I sincerely beleive, unlike residential and commercial locks, this is an area that has little fluctuation in security. However...i could be wrong :-) Let me know if this don't work for you please. Be good :-) ************************************************************************** 14)From: SpyKing@thecodex.com Subject: CNA Info In addition to ANI numbers, here is some info on CNA's for the list... if anyone has updated CNA listings, please post to list... What is a CNA number? CNA stands for Customer Name and Address. The CNA number is a phone number for telephone company personnel to call and get the name and address for a phone number. If a telephone lineman finds a phone line he does not recognize, he can use the ANI number to find it's phone number and then call the CNA operator to see who owns it and where they live. Normal CNA numbers are available only to telephone company personnel. Private citizens may now legally get CNA information from private companies. Two such companies are: Unidirectory (900)933-3330 Telename (900)884-1212 Note that these are 900 numbers, and will cost you approximately one dollar per minute. If you are in 312 or 708, AmeriTech has a pay-for-play CNA service available to the general public. The number is 796-9600. The cost is $.35/call and can look up two numbers per call. If you are in 415, Pacific Bell offers a public access CNA service at (415)705-9299. If you are in Bell Atlantic territory you can call (201)555-5454 or (908)555-5454 for automated CNA information. The cost is $.50/call.

If they don't have one at the store you go to, they can > check stock in the other stores in the area through their computer > system. Here's a hint about those radio shack PZMs. They come with a high-impedance 2-conductor connector, but the microphone is actually a balanced, low-impedance device. If you unsolder (or cut off) the quarter-inch jack on the cable, you will find a shield and two conductors. Connect these to a standard A3M jack (or some other suitable low-impedance, balanced connector if size is a factor) and connect it to a low-impedance, balanced mic input. You will get MUCH better signal-to-noise ratio, better RF rejection, and can run longer cabling with less signal loss. If you put a low-impedance, balanced jack on it, and connect it to a low-impedance, balanced mic input, you can have cables several hundred feet long with very little loss. Note also that you can easily vary the low frequency response of the mic by placing it on different surfaces. For example, if low-frequency rumble or street noise is a problem, don't place the mic on a large flat hard surface. Replace the standard plate with one made of something clear (lucite, lexan, plexiglas, etc), and it will be less noticable if stuck in a planter (for example). If you need a PZM, and Radio Shack has already sold out, you can get the original from Crown in Elkhart Indiana (for a LOT more money, but better quality). ************************************************************************** 7)From: DrPrivacy@aol.com Subject: The Privacy Protection Kit INTRODUCTION Bob Hammond's Privacy Protection Kit is a unique program designed to protect you from privacy invasions and other unwanted intrusions into your personal and financial affairs.

ANI The automated number identification we've talked about recently CNA Customer Name and Address bureau. In the Dallas market it's supposed to be authorized use only. Don't tell the hackers, it may offend them. Diverters. Wonderful toys. You dial a number and get a dial tone. You then call out from that number. If you get one, don't run up their long distance. They are great to defeat Caller ID, or make it look like you're calling from one state when you're in another. Oh yeah, it would also defeat call trace. Especially if you bounced the call from one diverter to another and so on. Loops or Bridges. These are either numbers that connect together. For instance, you're running a scam to locate a defendant in a case and you don't want them to have your phone number because it'll tip them off, or you need them to think you're in another city or state. You give them the loop number to call you back in Florida. You're in California. You call into the number and wait on speaker phone. When they dial the number in Florida you gave them, it links you together and you answer the phone. These are all wonderful tools that exist inside the telco system, but beware. The feds are cracking down on misuse of them due to the computer theft and hacker problem. Even if you have no intentions of using these systems for unlawful purposes, trying to convience them may be difficult. There was a trace on one of the bridged numbers which was commonly used around here a couple of years ago. I haven't tried it to see if it's still up or not.

Two men, one from the Seattle area and the other from Glen Burnie, Md., were arrested by Seattle police detectives at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport March 14 and charged with conspiracy to commit murder. Todd Rogers of Glen Burnie and Aaron Lee Lord were being held in King County Jail in lieu of $200,000 bail each. Their intended victim was Andre Anthony, a friend of Lord, who wanted Anthony "taken care of or killed," according to charging papers. Lord promised Rogers $20,000 for his help in getting rid of Anthony. Authorities were alerted to the scheme by a neighbor of Rogers, who overheard Rogers and another man's conversation on his scanner. Rogers and the man discussed Rogers' leaving National Airport in Washington, D.C., and arriving in Seattle. The caller told Rogers that his tickets had been bought and would be sent to Rogers via Federal Express. In a later conversation, the caller told Rogers that he had two plans to kill Anthony. If plan A on March 14 didn't work, then plan B on March 15 would "go down." The caller told Rogers that his only concern was if the victim told someone he was going to meet with the caller, but then said, "If anything comes down, I'll just tell them I don't know what they are talking about," charging papers said. The caller also told Rogers that he was going to scope out the dump site on his dirt bike. He said he planned to load his off-road vehicle in a pickup and "it" (the body) would be in a sleeping bag. After hearing the conversations, the neighbor contacted Anne Arundel County police. A detective watched Rogers leave on a plane for Seattle March 14. He arrived in Seattle late that night. Seattle police detectives followed Rogers to the Sea- Tac baggage area where he met Lord and Anthony. Rogers and Lord were arrested. In a taped statement, Rogers told detectives that he had known Lord for 12 years and they had lived together in the past. He said that Lord had called him because Lord believed Anthony had stolen $50,000 from him, charging papers said. The money came from a stolen ATM machine, court papers said. According to charging papers, Lord was to take Anthony to his home where Lord would shoot him. Rogers was to help Lord bury the body. When detectives played Rogers' taped statement for Lord he said, "If that's what you guys say I did, then I guess I'm guilty." ************************************************************************** 13)From: Eric Schneider Subject: modem taps, Van Eck, and locks On the subject of tapping into modem information: I would like to hear from someone that has actually used a third modem to intercept data transmission (or FAX). It seems to me that this would NOT be possible on newer modems (above 2400bps) for the simple reason that newer modulation schemes use "echo-cancellation" to allow both send and receive channels in the same bandwidth. Thus assuming that an intercepting device could actually equalize the line, data would still be unretrievable because the data from one of the modems would need to be known in order to cancel it out. Older schemes (300/1200bps) separate the TX and RX bands and could be easily intercepted. The best bet, I think, would be to "fake" a connection with a pair of modems, a phone line simulator, and a PC to play middle man in the connection. Van Eck: What freqs are being received? Baseband from electron gun emissions? I would assume the freqs and the first couple of harmonics to be below say 20MHz in that case. I remember seeing to TV show (years ago) that demonstrated a simple Tempest system using only a cable decoder and a TV (they intercepted a standard TV video on another TV playing a tape). This leads me to believe that higher freqs are involved. Am I missing something? Were they simply receiving harmonics? Any help would be appreciated. Briefcase locks: Many combination briefcase locks use cams on the dials as the locking mechanism. To open these, simply use a shim (really thin piece of metal), inserted to the side of each dial, to feel for the flat part of the cam, while spinning each digit. The once the digits are aligned with the lowest point upwards, rotate all of the dials in unison until the lock opens (usually 180 degrees). Hope that helps.

For Immediate Release AbirNet's SessionWall-3 Set To Rescue Companies From Intranet Abuses NEW PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT DALLAS (April 1, 1997) -- Responding to corporate decision makers' concerns over liability and productivity issues related to abuses on computer networks, AbirNet Ltd. officials announced today the release of SessionWallTM-3. Ensuring greater freedom and access control of Internet and internal (Intranet) networks, SessionWall-3 features protection technologies of "unobtrusive blocking"(TM), which has a patent pending and "see-it-all monitoring"(TM), as well as sophisticated network intrusion detection capabilities. These innovations provide solutions without changing current network topology, without introducing any new network performance overheads, without any desktop or sever software changes, and without an expensive planning and implementation cycle. Kurt Ziegler, Jr., AbirNet CEO and chairman of the board, says there is no longer a reason for corporate decision makers to wonder if you network security is needed or not, "nor should you feel that you are running blind behind your firewall. AbirNet's protection products offer a significant step forward in the ability to see how your network is being used while it detects, blocks and tracks network intrusion attempts," he says. "SessionWall-3 is much more than some child sitter program," says Chris Wiley, security network manager of an international banking security technology company. "SessionWall permits the network administrator to graphically, and in detail, see exactly what and how a station or user is accessing the net, or conversely how a server is being utilized. In my 25 years in the computer field, I have never run across any program that can perform all the detection and protection functions of SessionWall-3," Wiley adds. "We use SessionWall-3 to identify users who are not complying with our internal network usage policies," says the network manager of a large semiconductor company. "Once identified, we can contact the user and make them aware of the infraction. Now that we can see the access patterns, we are beginning to use SessionWall-3 to control access to specific hosts." "We picked SessionWall-3 because we didn't have a lot of time and needed a solution that didn't have a steep learning curve and could be implemented transparently," he adds. SessionWall-3 users noted during beta testing that: "The product provides 'eyes' to firewalls for greater protection efficiency as well as delivers top protection capabilities." "SessionWall-3 monitors E-mail, web access, news groups, FTP, and Telnet from the moment it is installed. Additional protocols and blocking can be invoked with just a couple of clicks," adds Ziegler. "SessionWall-3 eliminates the most common obstacles hindering a company's ability to implement or research needed Internet and Intranet controls. "SessionWall-3 responds to the need for a simple, affordable, yet comprehensive solution to seeing what's going on in the network and blocking the abusers," says Ziegler. "Today, we begin delivering that solution, a solution that is functionally rich and priced to meet the needs of the small network, intermediate network, and large network manager alike." AbirNet, founded by Ziv Dascalu in 1996, is a privately held company with US headquarters in Dallas, Texas and International headquarters in Yoqneam, Israel, with operations in both locations. Worldwide Marketing headquarters are located in Dallas.

The workshop is intended to gather information on the collection, compilation, sale and use of computerized data bases that contain sensitive identifying information, as well as self-regulatory efforts, technological innovations and unsolicited e-mail. The workshop will also address these developments as they pertain to children's personal information. The workshop will gather information for a new computer data base study that the FTC has also announced. However, this study will be limited to "look up services" which contain personal identifying information, such as the Lexis-Nexis P-TRAK service.

What I used to do was setup my iCOM to a stero system get long play 120min tapes and record everything it picks up. The problem is this, most cell phone users are moving, which means they will move from cell to cell. Once a cell change has been made the convo you are listening to will fall off, or in other words the call has moved to a new cell and is now on a new channel. Most of the larger and I would guess smaller telco's have a system by which the cell call will change or move from channel to channel every so often as to help prevent people from easedroping. 2) Someone in a prior mailing asked about a device that will allow you to scramble phone calls, a company called NAI Technologies - http://www.naitech.com carries these as well as TEMPEST certified products. I would also suggest that you contact iCOM. ************************************************************************** 5)From: Trace Carpenter Subject: Re: Throw a few curves >This msg is in response to Trace sending Stan to Jim Atkinson's >"TSCM.com" site.

TSCM seems to draw "wannabes" to it, but by the same token we were there at one time. I often warn people about what all is involved in this type of work so that they understand the dangers of performing it for a client, and not really knowing what you are doing. On the other hand, I don't want to discourage anyone from learning it who really wants to try. You're not going to learn TSCM from looking at the spectrum analyser gif's on Jim's site, but it is a good place to send people to get an idea of how in depth this type of work goes. Let's face it. The work itself is confusing. I don't really remember which posting I replied to as I get several of them, but I'm sure I meant well.

Bank routing numbers identify specific financial institutions, for use during electronic tranactions. Note that each physical location of a bank or credit union is issued its own number. The routing number of a bank will show up as the first set of OCR digits at the lower left corner of any check, identifying by number the bank on which the check was drawn. I use the ABA (American Bankers Association) publication entitled "Financial Institutions Directory" available from Thompson Financial Publishing (800-280-5450). It's a 2-volume set listing all financial institutions by state and city, and also by alphabetical bank name, with routing numbers for each, plus other information on each institution. I seem to recall it costing about $300, updated annually. It's an invaluable tool. ________________________________ Christopher Smith.

Anyway, I have always a need for good, fast, site inspectors. What they do: They go to a specific business and take a photo of the out side, and the inside (Polaroid) and they answer four very easy questions. They fax the questionnaire here, and mail the original questionnaire and photos to a regular address. That is it. It pays $20 - $25, takes very little time at all, and is very easy work. We do not want PI's sending in requests for this work at their regular rate, this is not PI work. Anyone can do it, you do not need a license or anything like that. You DO need a Fax machine and a Polaroid camera and wheels. Should you be interested in doing this work occasionally in your town drop me an E-mail with the subject line as the City and State you are available in. i.e. Subject: Huntsville, AL.

(NYSE:EFX) the Atlanta credit reporting giant, systematically violated the privacy of registered voters, according to court papers filed in DC federal court. The complaint filed by Washington-based competitor Aristotle Publishing, Inc., alleges that Equifax subsidiary California Data Bureau (CDB) and its president committed fraud, and offered databases on more than 5 million registered voters in states such as Maryland, Georgia and California to skip tracers and bill collectors in violation of privacy laws. In response to the Aristotle lawsuit, filed December 18, 1996, Equifax has quietly removed dossiers on millions of American voters from CDB's computers. Equifax President, Dan McGlaughlin, has so far refused to respond to Aristotle's request for an assurance that Equifax has made full disclosure to state law enforcement officers. The company could be exposed to millions of dollars in fines and class action lawsuits. It could also become the target of enforcement actions by state Attorneys General or Secretaries of State. Questions about management competence at the publicly-traded Equifax would arise if it asserts it was ignorant of the unlawful data usage when it reportedly paid CDB president Rick Rozar and others millions of dollars to acquire a controlling interest in his Santa Ana, California database company in 1996. News organizations that specialize in privacy, Privacy Times and The Privacy Journal, have reported that Rozar, a controversial former private investigator, had entered into a 1993 FTC consent decree over CDB's sale of data protected under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. In 1995, his firm was also caught selling Arizona voter records for prohibited purposes, and was the subject of criticism in last summer's widely-publicized flap over the improper sale of Social Security numbers. "I'm shocked Equifax didn't think twice before acquiring CDB. In doing so, they endangered their reputation. These revelations are further proof of that," said Robert Ellis Smith, publisher of The Privacy Journal. In response to press inquiries, Equifax General Counsel, Michael de Janes complained that "many misstatements of fact and other inaccuracies" which he declined to specify, would "damage the reputation of Equifax." "Equifax was wearing blinders. Equifax was misled. Or Equifax simply looked the other way. Any way you look at it, you have to wonder how this could happen," said John Phillips, president of Aristotle Publishing, in a statement issued today. The problems may receive greater scrutiny at Equifax's shareholder meeting April 30th, and as Equifax prepares to spin off its Insurance division, which includes CDB. Phillips, an Equifax shareholder, may join with other shareholders in a formal shareholder demand asking the Equifax Board of Directors to investigate why company officers failed to detect the sale of data for illegal purposes, and forcing the company to make full disclosure to government authorities. Said Phillips: "Equifax needs to clean house, give back the illicit profits, pay any fines, apologize, and get this behind them. They compound their problems every day they try to keep the money and cover it up." Note to Editors: For comment from Aristotle Publishing, phone 415/882-9924. For Equifax: 404/885-8702.

They must send you your file if you want them to. There will not be any charge if the file is under fifty pages. If it is over 50 pages, then there will be a copying charge often cents per page. Your file can be obtained by simply mailing a letter to them. However, the letter must be worded properly or else they will not comply, or may only send you part of it. Here is the address which you may use to contact the F.B.I.: Director Federal Bureau of Investigations Washington D.C., 20535 Here is the letter: Dear Sir: I am requesting a copy of any personal file which you may have on myself (SSN ). In addition, I am requesting copies of all files, dossiers, documents, or materials referring to myself. If you consider some material exempt from diclosure, release the material to me with deletions indicated and specify your legal support for having made those deletions. Finally, I require a response within ten working days, as provided by the Freedom of Information Act. I appreciate your time and your compliance with my request and the law. Thank you, This letter must be notarized. To notarize a letter go to some bank, NOT the Post Office. The bank will check your identification a stamp your letter, then go to the PO and mail this letter. The C.I.A. also has files, but I believe they stopped updating information in 81.

He's honest and he really wants to work with computers. If anyone in the Northern Virginia Area needs a good man, let me know.

The law in Texas (Art. 4413 VACS) is VERY broad and incompasses more than you can imagine. If you have a fulltime employee doing this exclusively for your company and no one else's you're probably ok. If they're a contractor there's a guy named Randy Glascow how is in charge of a group of agents in Austin who will not think twice about filing charges on anyone doing the work for you.

W3 works by automatically updating a central database with detailed reports from all W3-equipped workstations on a network; it then lets you export the collected data in a variety of formats. The program not only tracks which applications are active but it reports changes to an active window's caption to capture the name of the document in use or the Web site visited. The administrator can set W3 to run invisibly and prevent its being turned off. Despite its potential for abuse, W3 need not be a tool for oppression. A report that all workstations are busy 95 percent of the time, for example, may indicate the need to buy more or better equipment. And W3 can be used to perform time and motion studies, so that software designers can quantify and minimise mouse mileage and keystrokes. Contractors can use the program to generate time and billing reports. The program is available for a 30-day free trial from the company's Web site which is at "www.winwhatwhere.com" WinWhatWhere '97 - List price $US.99.00 Network version $US.495.00 Requires 8MB.

(no offence to law enforcement) Read on...this is a trip.... EMERYVILLE, Ont. - After a week's reprieve, a Windsor-area family again finds itself at the mercy of a cyberspace stalker. Sommy, as the high-tech bogeyman calls himself, interrupted a phone conversation Tuesday to let the Tamai family know he had returned from a Florida vacation. "We're living a nightmare," said Debbie Tamai-Smith, 36, of Emeryville, about 20 kilometres east of Windsor. "It's been a living hell." Sommy has terrorized the family since they moved into their home in November, turning lights on and off, interrupting telephone conversations, changing channels on their TV and listening in on family conversations. He distorts his voice and has confounded the experts by avoiding detection. Bell Canada has changed the family's number, changed the phone lines in their home and changed the telephone cable in the family's subdivision. They even tried to fry Sommy's equipment with a 600-volt blast down the phone lines. Sommy just laughed. "We don't know who he is or how he's doing it," said Const. Rick Harold of the provincial police. "If I could I'd move out tomorrow," said Dwayne, 34, Debbie's husband. >Badcoffee< ************************************************************************** 17)From: Leah Subject: Re: Hiring Site Inspectors Yesterday I sent out the following post to several lists I read. There was a tremendous reply, however I have to comment about the simple fact that it seems many of you did not really read my original post (appearing below). The purpose of this re post is not to chastise you for not reading what you are replying to, but to find out who is truly willing to do these and who is not. I reiterate, these site inspections pay only $20, a $5. bonus is paid when the inspection is completed within 24 hours. For a grand total of $25 MAX. No mileage, no hourly rate, no exceptions. As I state below these are not tricky, the business owners will be expecting you. This is a simple form with four questions and two polaroid photos. Anyone can do these, one does not need to hold a PI license at all. Several respondents have indicated they would be willing to do this work in several STATES! I think they would go broke trying. The idea is to stick close to home, perhaps handling these at lunch as most of the site inspections are for restaurants. Now if you have read and understand this and you are still willing to do this occasional work, please e-mail me with your City, State in the subject line and I will add you to my list. REQUIREMENTS Polaroid Camera, FAX Machine, Auto, Telephone, pen. :) I thank you for your time and consideration. Leah Wesolowski Hello all, I received several replies to my requests for help, hopefully I will have this work completed asap. Anyway, I have always a need for good, fast, site inspectors. What they do: They go to a specific business and take a photo of the out side, and the inside (Polaroid) and they answer four very easy questions. They fax the questionnaire here, and mail the original questionnaire and photos to a regular address. That is it. It pays $20 - $25, takes very little time at all, and is very easy work. We do not want PI's sending in requests for this work at their regular rate, this is not PI work. Anyone can do it, you do not need a license or anything like that. You DO need a Fax machine and a Polaroid camera and wheels. Should you be interested in doing this work occasionally in your town drop me an E-mail with the subject line as the City and State you are available in. i.e. Subject: Huntsville, AL. Site Inspector Most of these inspections are for Restaraunts so I like to say it is like getting paid to eat lunch.

The police are stymied,or so they say,as they have been present to witness some of the goings on, and in fact have spoken with the culprit via the phone(I believe the article said'Toronto Sun 9 April').Bell says that there is nothing they can do, as the calls take place within a specific circuit,and its not until the culprit makes his call from outside this loop that they can lock onto where he is located.A former RCMP officer who specializes in this sort of thing,volunteered his services,and conducted a complete electronics sweep of the home,and was unable to shed any light on the problem. The family also recieved a break from the torment recently,as the culprit told them he was going on vacation. So far this guy has the authorities stumped,any of you surveillance forum people have any ideas.

I'm sorry but I accidently deleted the e-mail so I'll post here. The file you were asking about is called TRACERT.EXE. It's in Win95 and true it's not in Help, but it's not really a hidden file as it doesn't ahve the attribute. To use it go to the Dos prompt and type Tracert and it will give you a list of switches. Basically what you do, is while you're online on the net, go out to a dos prompt where TRACERT is located. Then type for instance TRACERT www.thecodex.com , you'll then see the hops that it takes for you to get there. It'll show each server as you pass through it, the number of ms that it takes, and the URL for each. Hope this helps.

My two cents is that this is exactly the line of work Im getting into, currently being trained by Cyberangels (nonprofit online crime fighting organization) in tracing users and covert ops, and will soon be interning with the Secret Service to acquire more experience. Im currently being trained right now to track down and report pedophile activities on IRC, but I may eventually get into tracking yahoos like "Sommy" down. I personally hate criminal hackers. Of course they're not too found of me either ;-). I do resent the implication that law enforcement are "helpless" in dealing with these types of crimes. The FBI, and many other agencies work 24/7 to prevent crime on the Internet, and they are very effective. They're simply undermanned. And as it is in real life, criminal hackers can be tracked down using conventional investigative techniques as well as good computer skills... What's his M.O? What's his motive?

OK here it goes... I came across an intresting file that said the way the FBI does a lock-in trace by puting the same amount of voltage thats curently in the fone line. For those of you that don't know the lock-in trace is when the FBI traces a call you make , but you can't hang on it. I thought to myself , could I do this , appearently so. All you do is solder 2 wires to a 9-volt battery. When you think some one is going to hang just attach the wires to the green and red wires in the jack before they hang up. Now when they hang up and pick up the fone again you'll still be on there line. Now you say "That's great , but suppose some prick is doing it to me or I get a lock-in trace from Mr. FBI". It's defeatable. Just take a flashlight lightbulb and hook it up to 2 wires then when you think this is happening , attach the 2 wires to the red and green wires in the jack. Then hang up. The lightbulb will drain the electricity and the lock-in trace will be dead. ************************************************************************** 8)From: "karl kiefert" Subject: Re: UK P.O. Box Numbers Nigel, I had a PO BOX. The address was only held by the post office (inland revenue too. If it is a company then thanks to the taxman, they must have a registered office - Company House?), but any member of the public was entitled to request it and the post office was obliged to surrender it. This was made clear from all the paperwork I signed. Before obtaing my P.O box, a rep visited my premeses and he had to speak to me in person so that not only the building had to existed If you have the persons phone no, BT could find the address for you. Make an alcoholic donation to a friendly postman.The postal service is large and even your local postie either knows or has a friend who knows someone in X town. Give a utility company a call..... There are two separte sides to the PO boxes - Letters and Parcels. Also the letters can be either delivered to your home or collected. To get them delivered cost quite a bit more? Also the same post box number is never used twice.

The phone systems around the world are of a fairly similar standard and technology to the point where some American phones/modems (having US tones) work on British lines.. The circuits to be watch out for are the ones that depend on you sending tones; rewiring the hook switches in the phones; infinity transmitters and features unavailable on your phone or system etc. There once was a uk 2600 mag called 2280 but do knot know what happened to it. ************************************************************************** 9)From: "realtor@cdc.net" Subject: Re: Dayton Ham Fest I am going..

The story was a "story", not real life. The point was for the young ones here that might be impressed with the robberies and wish to use the information contained here for a carear in such activities. The point was also that when you posess the skills needed to pull off a high level heist....You posess the same skills needed to be an asset to many legitamete companies that would just love to hear from you. Strive to be the best. You'll be a WANTED man......either for the cops....or for agancies that would pay big bucks for your services. Your choice.

Let them know that YES, not everyone has to be the 9-5 worker. And~~~ If your going to use this information to pull a heist...take the time to train for long exausting hours. Why would I say such a thing??? Because by the time someone learns what it takes to be a professional...only best....he would have probably also acheived a "sence of pride" for his knoledge and skills....and "just" may use it for legitamate purposes. Let em know that there is a place in the legit world for just about every skill. When I poped my first lock....who in the world would have guessed (not me) that I now possibly posess the skills to get $60 for a residential lockout??? Not bad for a ONE minute of work.

Interupting telephone conversations? How? By operator interupt or a handset attached to the phone line? Changing channels on the TV? We used to do this to a local bartender driving him nuts.

Check telephone instruments for modifications, etc. >He distorts his voice and has confounded the experts by avoiding detection. Sounds like a common voice changer to me... and who are the "experts"?

Cony, Sunmechatronics, Micro, Micro and Security, and several other electronics mfgrs. in Japan has had on the market for years small and inexpensive transmitters and I have sent them requests for product and price lists only to have my correspondence returned. Can anyone help? The addresses for these companies came fron Intelligence Incorporated Covert Catalog but a lot of the info. is outdated or incorrect. Thanks Eric Pennington Information Brokers Unltd. PO Box 832 Sharpsburg NC 27878 (919) 972-2827 InfoBrokUn@aol.com +++Moderator's Note+++ Listen closely. There is a lot of chatter on this list about bugging devices. I am NOT naive enough to believe that list members (and others) DO NOT use them from time to time but everyone should be aware that they ARE ILLEGAL to possess and use... The laws concerning eavesdropping devices are readily available on the web and EVERYONE should read them... they are "gray" in some areas and quite specific in others... but you SHOULD know what they are before venturing into this area... The Japanese companies you mentioned above; Cony, Sunnmechatronics and Micro Electronics of Japan were busted by US Customs last year in the nationwide "Spy Shop" raids after an 18 month undercover investigation for illegally mislabeling and exporting to USA bugging equipment which was sold in the "Spy Shops". Approximately 45 "Spy Shops" nationwide were raided by US Customs agents. Employees and owners were arrested, indicted and convicted of smuggling and selling eavesdropping equipment openly, over the counter to anyone. Ken Taguchi the owner of Micro of Japan was "lured" here by Customs with promises of a one million dollar order. After his arrest he cooperated with the government to "sink" Spy Shops by providing shipping and other information to gain his own release. The company Micro & Security Electronics of Hamburg, Germany was not involved in this particular bust. Chances are, your correspondance to these Japanese bugging companies inquiring about their eavesdropping equipment was forwarded to US Customs... ;-) Winston Arrington's book "Now hear this" is a classic. It has a lot of great schematics but it is NOT for the beginner. Some of his circuits are tricky. He also sells kits for his devices that require some electronics skill to assemble... I'm not sure if he has done a second book. You can contact him in Chicago. He has also been arrested several times for selling bugging equipment (which he boasts about in his advertising). I doubt very seriously if anyone here will recieve Japanese eavesdropping literature from these companies anymore. I'm pretty sure Customs has them on the run. Most of their equipment was junk. I've got hundreds of catalogs from these companies from around the world. The best stuff is not mass produced but made by little known technicians on a custom basis... The "Spy Shops" specialized in selling covert crystal transmitter/receiver systems bought for approx. $100-200. from Japan and were sold for $1200-$1500. each in the NYC area. Just goes to show you what a rip-off the "Spy Shops" are... One interesting sidebar is CCS aka Spyzone aka Counter-Spy Shop and 20 other names still advertises Micro equipment openly but was NOT busted with the other "Spy Shops". The owner Ben Jamiel WAS busted many years ago for illegally EXPORTING high tech equipment to a PLO terrorist organization. I was the government's expert witness that identified the exported equipment which resulted in his indictment. Rumor has it he was behind the Customs raids of the Spy Shops to "clean out" the competition... Payback for his years of government cooperation. P.S. You could get on a plane and visit the Akihabara section of Tokyo (Electronics Heaven) and buy anything you want there for peanuts... I travel there regularly on business and always stop to browse the shops (hundreds of them) to test the latest available toys... ************************************************************************** 8)From: mfed@ziplink.net Subject: Re: Cyberstalker I noticed someone mentioned "they have been harassed since the family moved in in November".

Uh huh... did he do THREE sweeps? One for the obvious, two for the stuff you want the expert to find, and three for the stuff you DON't want people to find? Did he check behind EVERY single electrical outlet, every single wall switch? One thing which comes to mind -- is if these folks make use of any X10 stuff -- where you replace the light switches and sockets with remote controllable ones -- you have to set a house code and unit code, then you plug the control unit into the wall. It communicates via the electrical lines. But the thing is that it can be any electrical line which is on the same side of the transformer feeding the house. So if several houses are on the same xformer, it could be someone in another house down the block screwing with them. You simply wait for them to go on vacation, break in, replace a few light switches and sockets, maybe install a remote socket INSIDE the TV, and kick back in your house and have some fun.... *I haven't done this, but it's entirely possible*... As for the phone lines -- you can tap anyone's phone line ANYWHERE between their house and the CO frame... all you need to do is have the right pair...

Those things don't work anymore, both because there are faster and easier ways for the FBI to trace a phone call and because new telecommunications technology doesn't work the same as it did in the aqua box days. And you would need much more than a flashlight bulb to 'drain' the voltage present to keep your phone off-hook, if this even would work at all. Attaching a 9-volt battery to tip and ring could result in severe acid burns, and especially is the phone happens to ring while you're doing such a thing. Don't waste your time with those old 'philes' so-called hackers/phreakers like to spread around their web and FTP sites. Most come out of the pre-ESS era. CrACKeD ************************************************************************** 13)From: Jeff Pristelski Subject: Induction Coil Taps I was interested in the induction coil tap. I currently have made (with a basic undestanding of electronics) A series transmitter, and a few others. Now I understand that two wires (or coils) when placed in close proximity of one another will have the same effects as a capacitor. So I am assuming that amplifying the changes in voltage produced could potentially power a speaker. The question I have is how could I get enough current to power a speaker if I can not coil the coil around one of the phone wires. ************************************************************************** 14)From: diablo@jorsm.com Subject: Re: Lock-in Trace I have seen the article, too. But if I'm not mistaken, the Lock-In trace became obsolete when the phone systems were switched from Cross Bar to ESS. Am I right in thinking this? I know the FBI no longer NEEDS the lock in now that all call data is digitally stored. I believe that the ESS automatically filters excess voltage out of the line, making the device more or less useless, except to increase the voltage on your line (possibly to the point of making your phone ring?). I remember reading awhile ago that line voltage is around 11 volts during conversation, but rings at about 18 volts (this was several years ago, does anyone know if it's changed?). Anyway, have you actually used this device? If so, I'm interested to know the outcome.

You're right about the off-hook voltage, somewhere around 10 volts or so. On-hook voltage is usually closer to about 50 volts. I believe both are AC. Ring should be pulsed DC around 90 volts.

Auto Theft SpectraTek Corporation has introduced the SP 1010 Auto Theft Tracking System (ATTS) developed to assist law enforcement agencies to deter auto theft crime in their communities through a Bait Car program. The Bait Car program tar- gets known offenders, repeat offenders, and areas with high incidences of auto theft. The system is used in vehicles and is equipped with a hidden CCD camera and infrared illuminator positioned to see the driver and other front seat occupants. A microphone picks up any conversation and the trunk contains an equipment enclosure containing the video transmitter, a Global Positions System (GPS), a modem and a communications link for cellular phone unit or a VHF or UHF radio link. The cellular (or radio) sends the GPS-derived location of the Bait Car to a Command Vehicle and receives remote control command signals, allowing com- munication between the two. The system is upgradable and allows officials to fit the equipment to their particular requirements. ************************************************************************** 11)From: "karl kiefert" Subject: Re: Induction Coil Hi Jeff Pristelski, All current carrying conductors have a magnetic field around them. On any one of the phone line cable pairs there is a static magnetic field caused by the power to the phone - this does not interest us. There is also the analogue voltage which is the speech and this produces a varying magnetic field. You must have seen the telephone pickups which have a rubber cup which attaches to a phone and on the other end has a plug that goes into a tape recorder? Well the varying magnetic field is picked up by this coil. This magnetic field induces a small current into the coil and it is then amplified by the cassette recorder. The suction cup is usually attached to the handset where the ear-piece is because this area usually a strong magnetic field due to the 'large' coil in the ear-piece. This is an induction "tap". There is no physical conection to the line - just one cause by a residual field. An induction wire tap is nearly the same as above, except when the coil being placed next to a phone wire it does not pick up such a strong magnetic field as its counterpart would from the ear-piece in the handset, so the circuit must amplify the signal much much more. Also induction devices that I have seen contain their own power source. Pls don't think of the coil as a capacitor but as a transformer.

If it does not, then I shall try to be as brief as possible. After an absence, I checked my E-mail and discovered that BADCOFFEE has apparently been the recipient of some "flame" mail which criticizes him for his candor in sharing with the rest of us members his endeavors to further his craft and, perhaps, enlighten the rest of us. Since I have no skills which would enrich this area of expertise, I do not post to the list since to do so would obviously be ludicrous and waste the valuable time of all concerned, but I am nonetheless an avid follower of all that is written herein; I find the material entertaining, thought-provoking, and educational. Of those postings which I read, I am particularly fond of those written by Trace Carpenter, CRACKED, and BADCOFFEE. With respect to BADCOFFEE, he is obviously knowledgeable, and his desire to learn from others and share that which he does know bespeaks a refreshing humility and genuine commitment to his area of endeavor. He also writes with refreshing humor and a selflessness which reminds us all of our own human frailties vis-a-vis the many faux pas we may have stumbled upon in our personal/professional pursuits. Unfortunately, his reward is to be "flamed" by some parent/parents who believe that he has nefariously set out ot corrupt their children, and it is this I wish to address. It is not BADCOFFEE's task in life to rear the children of the parents of this world who have abdicated their position of parental responsibility and authority. Little "Johnnie/Suzie" could not access this listing if Mom/Dad did not provide them with a computer and an internet connection and the the unsupervised leisure to do with it whatever he/she wished. Therefore, if you do not want little "Johnnie/Suzie" to read the material presented herein, Get off you ass and tell them "NO!" If they have trouble understanding the meaning of that word, YOU, and YOU alone, have within your purview the power to graphically underscore the meaning of that word! If you do ot have the intestinal fortitude to exercise that power then you can blame no one but YOURSELF for "Johnnie/Suzie's" presence here within this membership. I am sick and tired of hearing the tearful wails of cowardly or selfish parents who bemoan the fact that their children have done something irresponsible and then suggest that the remedy for this is to re-mold the rest of the world so that their undisciplined and irresponsible children would not be "tempted." These people are those who would advocate a return to the intellectual Dark Ages through the mechanism of mindless censure just so they would not have to look at themselves in the mirror each day and view the starkness of their parental failures, blaming, instead, anyone and everyone else for their weaknesses! If little "Johnnie/Suzie" are in fact predisposed to misuse the information contained within the postings of this membership, the integrity of their character has been long-since compromised, and if they were unable to satiate their nefarious appetites HERE, they would inevitably find a way to do so ELSEWHERE. Moreover, if their character HAS been compromised at this point in their lives, it could only have been so because Mom/Dad broke their respective necks to race forward and provide an handy excuse for "Johnnie/ Suzie" every time they acted irresponsibly; integrity and character do not magically appear within one as a fully developed phenomenon-- it is the result of reward and/or punishment in response to success or failure. Once challenged, integrity will either stand firmly or crumble, and in that respect it will either succeed or fail. If it succeeds it will be strengthened, and if it fails-- and the penalty for that failure is personally repugnant-- it will reassess itself and adjust accordingly. If, however, it is protected from the consequences of its failure with a ready and unending supply of excuses designed to insulate it from reality, it will learn that regardless of how it reacts to any situation, it will never have to accept responsibility. It will then set its first step onto the path of... I wonder??? I for one salute BADCOFFEE, and I hope that he is not dissuaded from his course to share with this membership that which he has to share by the whimpering, hand-wringing, and moanful wails of those who are either too busy with their own pursuits or too weak to stand up to their own children and exercise the responsibility which attends mature parenthood.

"Cyber-stalker takes over Lake St. Clair village home" "High-tech harassment cuts electricity, baffles police, Bell Canada" By David Crary, Associated Press Emeryville, Ontario - The trouble began in December, when puzzled friends told Debbie and Dwayne Tamai their telephone calls to the couple were repeatedly being waylaid and cut off. A month later, missed messages and strange clicking noises seemed minor when a disembodied voice, eerily distorted by computer, first interupted a call to make himself known. After burping repeatedly, the caller told a startled Debbie Tamais, "I know who you are. I stole your voice mail." Mocking, sometimes menacing, the high-tech stalker has become a constant presence, eavesdropping on family conversations, switching TV channels, shutting of the electricity - and totally baffling the electronics experts trying to track his mischief. He calls himself Sommy. Neither the Tamais nor the police have a clue who Sommy is, how he does it or why he has targeted this family. His primary aim seems to be taunting the Tamais while stumping investigators from the Ontario provincial police, the local electric company and the national phone company, Bell Canada. "He told me I can get the best people in the world to come in my home and they won't find anything," Tamais said. "I'm waiting for the one person to come and tell me, ' I've found something .' I just want my life back." Debbie Tamais thinks Sommy rigged their modest, two-story brick house while it was being built last year, intending to torment whoever moved in. "Anyone could have had access to it while it was being built," she said. "Then when we moved in, his fun began. I don't know why he'd pick us out. We're not exciting people. We work hard, we come home, we go to bed." Now they feel trapped. Until the mystery is solved, the Tamais doubt anyone would buy their house, one of five new homes along a little cul-de-sac in Emeryville, atown of fewer than 1,000 people on the shore of Lake St. Clair, 20 miles east of Detroit. "We worked a lot of overtime for this house," she said Monday as she played tapes of Sommy's calls for a reporter. "We moved from Windsor because we wanted to get away from the ruckus of city life." Initially, Sommy's interference was mostly annoying. Then his harassment turned sinister. "He would threaten me," Debbie Tamais said. "It was very frightening: ' I'm going to get you. I know where you live.' I befriended him, because the police asked me to, and he calmed down and said he wasn't going to hurt me. The more I felt I was kissing his butt, the safer I felt." But never entirely safe. She says he's made clear he listens to family talks through household telephones, even with the recievers hung up. "When I want to have a private conversation, I unplug the phone," she said. "But we stil whisper." Police belive Sommy lives in the area and is under 25. He bragged to the Tamais that police came and went to his house in a door-to-door sweep. Some private experts have tried to uncover Sommy, including Doug Ralph, a retired electronic-surveillance expert for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. He concluded Sommy was accessing the Tamais' house through either underground cables or the nearby Bell Canada wiring station. "He seems to know an awful lot about phones," she said. "I asked if he had something against Bell Canada. He said, 'Not really." Bell Canada has rewired the house several times - each time, Sommy was able to get back on line, once within 20 minutes. "He knows exactly what he's doing," said Sgt. Ron Lane, head of the Essex County police crime unit. At one point, experts sent 600 volts of electricity through the phone line, hoping to blow out Sommy's equiptment. "He just laughed," Debbie Tamai said. "He said, 'What are you trying to do, zap me? I've got a backup system, stupid." One of the ordeal's most trying aspects has been the official suspicion focused on Dwayne Tamai, 34, and the couple's 15-year-old son, Billy. Police analyzed their voices and now say the family and Billy's closest friend are in the clear. "It's been very hard on Billy," she said. "He knew he was being fingered - even though investigators have sat in the kitchen with him while Sommy was talking on the phone." That is the article verbatim. The article is from earlier this week, so as far as the article reads, this is still happening. If anyone else has more info, let us know. This is all I have. ************************************************************************** 10)From: BADCOFFEE@aol.com Subject: I smell a RAT This is a quote that you will read again down the page.... > ''There's a buyer for everything,'' Gammon said. ''Who knows? Maybe some group will buy the home to see if they can find Sommy for themselves.''< Guys....agree with me on this one. Why couldn't anyone catch "Sommy"??. I can't put batteries in something correctly....and I think even "I" could have gotten at least a lead. OK, so there would be no walls left standing in the house....but I would have found Something. Something doesn't smell correct. Immediately after I posted the original article the SPYKING and YOU guy's immidately found a solution answered every single problem that plaigued this family. I am thinking that "Sommy".....is really "Mommy". ONE more note: If anyone lives near the house, I would like to know what the price of the house is in comparison to fair market value. (anyone else remember the Amityville horror scam) EMERYVILLE, Ontario (April 17) - The couple who claim their home has been invaded by a high-tech stalker called Sommy have put their three-bedroom house on the market. ''We just want to get out of here and start over somewhere else,'' said Debbie Tamai, whose family has been troubled by a stalker who taps into phone lines and turns power outlets off and on. Jim Gammon, who sold the custom-built brick ranch house to the Tamais last fall, says the presence of Sommy won't necessarily deter potential buyers. ''There's a buyer for everything,'' Gammon said. ''Who knows? Maybe some group will buy the home to see if they can find Sommy for themselves.'' After weeks of being courted by the media and having crowds drive by to gawk at their house, the family said they want to go back to living anonymously. ''We won't tell anyone where we're going,'' said Debbie Tamai. ''I want to find a house that a nice older couple have been living in for the past 50 years without any problems.'' Police, Bell Canada and Ontario Hydro investigators have failed to pinpoint the source of the trouble. Emeryville, a town of less than 1,000 people, is located on the shore of Lake St. Clair, 20 miles east of Detroit. >puke< +++Moderator's Note+++ "Sommy" the book deal? "Sommy" the film?

Initially created for custom applications, the company found an increasing demand for the abilities provided by this surveillance tool. "When you can provide full-room viewing from the quarter-inch space under a door, you know you'll generate interest in the law enforcement community" noted company president, Jeff Carignan, at the product's unveiling. "We're showing law enforcement professionals way to achieve their objectives while minimizing their risks," he continued. "You know ahead of time if the target is alone; if the door is barred in some way. The kit also gives the user the option of hooking up a video camera attachment, or watching the target visually. Using this scope makes the odds for success much better."

There will be a price increase effective May 1, 1997 for these searches. If you have a client who needs these index's searched it will be much more cost effective to do so prior to May 1. Ca & IL Birth Index Searches cost $250 each. No hit, no fee. How the search works: For Adoptees in search: You give ACME the names of the adoptees adoptive parents, the adoptees name, birth certifacate number and ACME returns the names of the birth parents as they are listed on the original birth certificate *ACME can not be held responsible for strange results, including no father listed, and birth mothers listed only by last name...we didn't create the data, we only report what we find. For Birth Parents in search: You give ACME the names of the birth parents, the baby's name at birth (usually Baby girl __(DOE)__, and ACME returns the names of the adoptive parents and adptive name of the child as they are listed on the AMENDED birth certificate. After these searches are completed it is usually no more than a skip trace to locate the person(s) sought after, and ACME will leave that to you. May 1, 1997 these searches will increase to $300. each. These searches are conducted by hand and are very time consuming. In some instances (especially with common names) they can take over 40 hours of looking at microfiche to complete. ACME Information is always looking for new sources of birth index information. If you have access tot he birth index in your State or County please e-mail ACME of you price to retrieve names from your index. Also, ACME now will pay for newspaper clippings of adoption announcements. These are located in the legals section of many newspapers. ACME will pay .02 for each announcement (yep, it ain't much we know, but save them up for a month and see how many you end up with!) These must include the name of the city. State, and newspaper they were from. Send clippings to the address in the Tag line. ACME will pay .05 per clipping if they are taken from a paper prior to 1970. If you are down at the library looking for an old item and you run across these, simply copy that part of the newspaper and mail them in. They MUST be readable to qualify for payment!

You might try north of the border (Canada). I understand you can acquire "unblocked" scanners there with no problem... I have several scanners, one being the "unblocked" AOR-3000 with continuous coverage between 100 Khz and 2036 Mhz. I also have two Icom R-7000 with "unblocked" coverage of 25 Mhz to 1999.999 Mhz and a Watkins-Johnson HF-1000 Digital HF DSP Receiver with coverage of 5 Khz to 30 Mhz.

I have used Valentine 1 for over 3 years and recently had my unit upgraded. I am not a "Speeder," but just a person who marvels and appreciates such a unique device. What I have found, in the long run, is that this device makes one aware of many operating electronics devices, such as "door openers" and "burglar alarms" and many other devices that are operated with certain specified frequencies within your community or elsewhere. However, the most interesting feature of the Valentine 1 is the fact that this device is the only radar locator having detection capabilities along with it. If an X-band signal created by an electronic door opener is detected, the Valentine 1 will confirm how many are electronically operating at that time and the locator will confirm the location of them. Yes, it also tells you precisely how many it is picking up. You would think if you have one door that opens, you should have another that closes? Sometimes this means 2 bogies as Valentine 1 would pick it up as, rather than just detecting an X-band signal that doesn't tell the whole story. However, around in my area, I have found out, that some burgular alarms are K-band along with door openers that are X-band. I was puzzled on day, back a couple of years ago, on passing by a store when K-band was detected. But I didn't pay much attention to it, for I thought a policeman was nearby. However, after a number of times of passing near the store, K-band would go off, I decided to see if I could find out where it was coming from. It took a few minutes by turning my car around the suspecting area before I realized that the store had installed a burglar alarm with K-band detection. I could actually verify the location and the signal strength and know for certain where it was coming from. The possibilities are numerous with this device. I have enjoyed using it in the car and found it quite a marvel. My wife, in the beginning, didn't think much of it, but now enjoys having it on when she drives alone, especially at night. Also, if you plan on going on trips across the USA, warning hazards are becoming a reality where K-band signals are sent out to cars approaching dangerous curves or construction sites. Most radar detectors can detect K-band, but Valentine 1 beats out all detectors in terms of sensitivity, selectivity, and most of all, the only one having a locator that points ahead, behind, or on the sides, if detection of the radar bands is made. However, they are expensive but worth every penny. They have X, K, Ka, and Laser detection capabilities along with the locator. There are accessories available for it, for example, concealed unit display so that other drivers don't tail along with you when they see you have a radar detector. Read the write up in the April issue of "Car and Driver" and examine the results for yourself. You might find other possibiliies with this wonderful unit! The unit sells for around $399 with Laser, but you can get it without Laser if you wish. This is truly a wonderful device. You can't find it in any other stores but only through Valentine Research, Inc. Included below is the address and phone number if you wish to obtain more information.. They will send you a beautiful brochure explaining alot of details that I haven't covered. I don't work for Valentine Research, Inc. I am just a happy customer.

In 1994, Congress authorized a half-billion dollars to pay for changes in old technology but blocked actual funding until last year when Congress both set up a special "slush fund" using excess funds from intelligence and law enforcement agencies and said the FBI could spend part of the money authorized in 1994. But Congress prohibited spending any money until the FBI submitted an implementation plan approved by Congress. The annual appropriations process gives us yet another chance to tell Congress not to allow this unprecedented attack on our privacy.

Also on Saturday night at approx 2145 hrs MSNBC did a piece on the "Sommy" stalking investigation. It was quite indepth with interviews with the family, local police and several others. Apparently MSNBC hired a Canadian TSCM firm recommended by the Canadian Communications Establishment to perform a TSCM survey of the target premises. According to the story they spent six hours in the house and could find no evidence of electronic eavesdropping or remote control type devices. They even broke down some walls. Some footage showed the TSCM tech using an IFR spectrum analyzer and CSR-1. Other footage also revealed unlocked power boxes and telephone drop boxes on the side of the single family house. An interesting statement by the wife revealed that when "Sommy" called, both online parties heard a click (like an extension being lifted) and 'Sommy" spoke.

Innovative Protection Solutions (IPS) Corp., is offering some unique investigative services. Their staff of computer security professionals have extensive experience in most areas of information safeguarding. A few of their services include computer searches for inappropriate material (such as, pornography), real time hidden monitoring of computer use with various softwares tool such as keystroke loggers, software development, network/firewall security scans, and "cyber-harassment" investigations. Most of these services are offered remotely over the Internet, which means no inconvenient visits to homes or offices. They also offer an interesting line of computer security related software products like a Windows 95 screensaver password cracker. For more information visit their web-site at http://www.ips-corp.com/ or e-mail ips@ips-corp.com Triple Exposure Press Release: Pornography Filtering and Blocking Alternative - Innovative Protection Solution, a computer security firm, has released a new software product, Triple Exposure, that takes a whole new approach to controlling inappropriate use of computers and the Internet by children and employees. Unlike standard parental control software that attempts to filter pornography and other indecent material as it is being accessed, Triple Exposure takes advantage of the fact that most information that has been accessed from the Internet by previous users is automatically stored on the computer in various locations. This caching of data is completely transparent to the user. Triple Exposure searches the entire computer including the caches for material that has been accessed by previous users. It locates most web-site addresses, text, movies, and images that have been viewed and displays them in an easy to browse interface. It even locates hidden or renamed files, so even a pornographic image entitled "homework.txt" will be found. Using Triple Exposure on a random, unannounced basis, while letting your children and employees know that you use it, a powerful deterrent effect will be created. Most users will not access inappropriate material if they know they will be caught. Using Triple Exposure to replace or supplement Internet filters will give parents and employers a realistic chance at controlling inappropriate computer and Internet use. More information about Triple Exposure can be found on the Innovative Protection Solutions website at http://www.ips-corp.com/ Steve Thomas, Vice President Innovative Protection Solutions Corp http://www.ips-corp.com/ webroot@webroot.com ************************************************************************** Who are you?

Dumb question about this micro-cam: O.K., it's small enough to conceal inside a soda cracker...so where do you hide the TV, VCR CCTV or transmitter? Is the camera wired to them? Is it in itself a transmitter? Or does is store images & sound on a chip for "download" later to VHS format? Also, how long does it record? Finally, can it be re-placed in various disguises, or once it is in place, is it fixed in that hat, clock, etc.? Sorry this sounds like a stupid question, but I AM really dumb about this equipment... Don Zaroda Zaroda and Company Video Surveillance for the Insurance Claims function 117 Nelson Avenue Easton, PA 18040-1217 Phone/Fax: 610/258-2056 +++Moderator's Note+++ Think of this camera as the "eye & ear" in a video surveillance system. It is a stand alone CCD board with pinhole lens and microphone. It must be plugged into power source (9-12 VDC battery or AC power) and it must be pugged into video & audio "in" on a TV, Monitor, VCR or video transmitter system to transmit or view the picture the "eye" is seeing... the wires can be run discreetly in a number of ways... It CAN be placed inside just about anything. It can be permanently mounted or temporarily mounted using double sided tape or other means. I have placed this camera inside clocks, desktop radios, computers, beepers, briefcases, pocketbooks, etc. It can be hidden in just about anything. I am currently experimenting with a special pair of sunglasses to mount the camera inside one lens and run wiring down the frame into "around-the-neck" eyeglass holder , down back into 8MM video recorder (worn in the small of your back). It makes a great video bodywire at a fraction of the cost of the current products on the market. We've also mounted this camera inside a pager worn on the belt and plugged into 8mm video recorder worn in small of back or inside fanny pack... The uses for this camera are only limited by your imagination. You can install this camera inside a VCR, unplug the "on" lights and use it as a self contained video surveillance system... the applications are endless... ************************************************************************** 2)From: Spysociety@aol.com Subject: Re: Sommy First of all Jim, no one mentioned that the telco was aware or covering up anything. No one knows who this guy is, remember. Second of all, this guy Sommy obviously has access to or owns some pretty sophisticated electronic equipment, the type of equipment that a telco would have. Third, if this Sommy is indeed a telco employee, the only reasonable grounds for a lawsuit against the telco is if there was negligence on the telco's part.

Felipe, Be VERY careful with dog training schools. There are many schools out there which will be glad to take your money, but really don't give you what you need as far as police dog training. As a former K-9 officer and trainer I would suggest you get with a good schutzin club in your area until you get the basics down and work from there. The other suggetion would be to get with someone who knows what they're doing and work with them. I personally have been training dogs since I was about 12 for other people. When I got with the K-9 unit, I found out how much more there was that I never dreamed of. Also, the type of training you're wanting is very "guarded", I'll warn you in advance. Narcotics/Bomb Detection is a touchy subject and remember, you have to be able to get the substances to train with. +++Moderator's Note+++ You could also join the US Air Force and attend their dog handlers school at Lackland AFB. ;-) It's supposed to be the best... ************************************************************************** 9)From: SpyKing@thecodex.com Subject: The Sommy page It had to happen.

Chiu" Subject: Sommy Article Hi-Tech Hunt Misses Cyberstalker ----- April 19, 1997 Toronto Sun EMERYVILLE, Ont. (CP) -- An electronic stalker haunting a family home since December eluded an espionage team hired by two television networks. The team and its secretive, hi-tech gizmos couldn't locate the stalker, who calls himself Sommy, after a two-day sweep of the Windsor-area home of Dwayne and Debbie Tamai. "Our position on this matter is that no further action by (our team) is warranted at this time," Trevor Stewart, lead member of the Nepean Systems Inc. crew, said yesterday. The company was brought in by the Discovery Channel, which plans to air its show on Sommy on Monday, and Dateline NBC, which aired its feature last night. "Nothing was found that would allow NSI to take this case to the next level," said Mike Cosentino, spokesman for the Discovery Channel. SWEEPING "It was worth it for us because we're looking at the science behind electronic sweeping. "The show still stands, the result is different." Cosentino said NSI had hoped to be able to trace Sommy or at least provide police with clues as to his whereabouts. The electronic intruder -- who police believe may be more than one perpetrator -- has tapped the family's phone lines, interrupting conversations with burps and babble. He has overheard conversations in the house and seems to control the home's electrical power, turning the entire system or individual appliances on or off at will. Stewart, 41, is a former RCMP officer and Canadian Security Intelligence Service agent. He said the team was composed of intelligence and security experts from "a wide variety of backgrounds," but so secretive is their work that further information about their experience is being kept under wraps. Stewart would also not reveal what equipment was used for the sweep. FEATURES Security experts say the Tamais' custom-built home probably included a few features the family did not bargain for, including devices to listen in on conversations and to control the electrical system. The family has put the house up for sale. --End of Article-- Personal note on the belief that the house was rigged before anyone moved in: It seems that Ontario Bell would put out such a statement because they don't want to publicly admit that their COE (Central Office Equipment) is being compromised by someone.

"Sommy", the mysterious "cyberstalker" who has been hounding the Tamai family of Emeryville, Ont. has been caught. According to a report from CBC Radio today, the Ontario Provincial Police managed to trace the source of the electronic harrassment to somewhere *inside* the Tamai's home. Turns out that "Sommy" is none other than the Tamai's 15 year-old son. According to Mrs. Tamai, the enterprising little bugger is going to get counselling to deal with his obvious emotional problems. The police do not plan to lay any charges in the affair. ************************************************************************** 12)From: Jean-Pierre Forest Subject: Cyberstalker "Sommy" identified It was learned that the family teenage son was responsible for the harrassment. So far, no criminal charges will be laid. Blue Skies J.P. ************************************************************************** 13)From: BADCOFFEE@aol.com Subject: THE COFFEE MAN SCORES ONE POINT... I say MOM pinned it on the kid cause "YOU" were getting too close to the truth.\ LOL, read on........ EMERYVILLE, Ont. - The teenage son of a Windsor-area couple has admitted that he is the electronic intruder who harassed the family over a period of several months. Debbie Tamai issued a statement Sunday saying that 15-year-old Billy made a full confession after police asked him to come in for questioning on the weekend. She also apologized for the actions of her son, who was able to elude investigators, Bell Canada, Ontario Hydro and even an espionage team hired by two television networks. Provincial police said it was an inside job and no charges will be laid. "It was an internal family matter," said Sgt. Doug Babbitt. "After going through the evidence gathered and the interviews, we concluded that charges would revictimize the family. . . . We felt it would be better for (the family) to settle this themselves than to charge them." The electronic stalker, known as Sommy, began haunting the custom-built home of Dwayne and Debbie Tamai in December. He tapped into the family's phone lines, interrupting conversations with burps and babble. The family recently put their house up for sale to escape him. Several times throughout the investigation, Debbie Tamai had argued her son was not responsible. She was asked to bring him in for questioning and did so with the intention of clearing his name through a lie-detector test. Instead, he confessed to his family and police. After the initial shock, Tamai said, the family realized he was a young man crying out for help and he will receive counselling to deal with his emotions. A two-day sweep last week by a team of intelligence and security experts loaded with high-tech gizmos failed to reveal Sommy's methods. The team was brought in by Dateline NBC and the Discovery Channel, which had plans to air its program Monday. Babbitt said a process of elimination led police to conclude no devices were ever planted in the home. They also ruled out an intrusion into the Bell Canada system. Bell had rewired the two-storey home several times. "We eliminated all external sources and interior sources," said Babbitt. He added that every time investigators set up equipment to try and track down the intruder, Sommy wouldn't call for eight or 10 days. Emeryville is a town of fewer than 1,000 people on the shore of Lake St. Clair, 30 kilometres east of Detroit. ************************************************************************** 14)From: Jim Youse Subject: Sommy - Caught!

Subject: Intro Just got into this site ... most interesting and educational. A couple of items, although they may have been overtaken by events ... For those looking at the Sommy incident in Canada ... Definitely a 'scam' ... with today's technology it could probably be done, but with rewiring and a variety of telephone traces [reverse tracing on anything incoming], location of Sommy could be determined at least to city where coming from within 180-360 seconds. Power control from outside residence hard to believe could happen... suspect it is an inside job for one reason or another. For BadCoffee ... your interest in locks, etc is most appreciated. If you don't have in your collection of reference manuals on the subject, suggest "The Complete Handbook of Locks and Locksmithing" published by TAB books, Blue Ridge Summit, PA. Note there are several editions out. Highly recommend first edition [single author]. Later editions have dual author credits, but regretfully, the second author just rewrote some sections, deleted a number of items and actually--in my opinion--lowered the quality of the book. If can't track down the first edition, suggest local library to find a copy.

INFORMATION BULLETIN H-47a: AOL4FREE.COM Trojan Horse Program Destroys Hard Drives April 17, 1997 23:00 GMT PROBLEM: A Trojan Horse program called AOL4FREE.COM that deletes all files on a hard drive is circulating the Internet. PLATFORM: DOS/Windows-based PCs DAMAGE: When the AOL4FREE.COM program is executed, all files and directories on the users C: drive are deleted. SOLUTION: DO NOT execute this program. If the program starts executing, quickly pressing Ctrl-C will save some of your files. VULNERABILITY Users who download the trojaned AOL4FREE.COM program and ASSESSMENT: executes it will destroy all the files and directories on their DOS C: drive. CIAC has obtained a Trojaned copy of AOL4FREE.COM that destroys hard drives. NOTE: This is different from the AOL4FREE Virus Warning hoax message. CIAC has obtained a Trojaned copy of the AOL4FREE.COM program that, if run, deletes all the files on a user's hard drive. If you are e-mailed this file, or if you have downloaded it from an online service, do not attempt to run it. If the program was received as an attachment to an e-mail message, do not double click (open) it. Opening an attached program runs that program, which in this case deletes all the files on your hard drive. The original AOL4FREE was a Macintosh program for fraudulently creating free AOL (America Online) accounts. Note that any attempt to use the original AOL4FREE program may subject you to prosecution. NOTE: Most antivirus programs will not detect this or other Trojan Horse programs. Detection ========= AOL4FREE.COM is a Trojan program that is 993 bytes (2 sectors) long. The following text is readable in the AOL4FREE.COM file if you display it with the DOS TYPE command or the DOS EDIT program. Compiled by BAT2EXEC 1.5 PC Magazine . Douglas Boling Note that this text may appear in any program compiled with the BAT2EXEC program and has nothing to do with the Trojan Horse. If you open the AOL4FREE.COM file with a disk editor or with the Windows Notepad program, the following text is found at the end of the second sector of the file. PATH COMMANDC earc /C C: /C CD\ DELTREE /y *.* ECHOOYOUR COMPUTER HAS JUST BEEN F***ED BY *VP* F*** YOU AOL-LAMER Where F*** is a common vulgar explicative. Recovery ======== Pressing Ctrl-C before the Trojan Horse finishes deleting all your files will save some of them. If the program runs to completion, all the files on your root drive will have been deleted. The files are deleted with the DOS DELTREE command, so the contents of the files are still on your hard disk, only the directory entries have been deleted. Any program that can recover deleted files will allow you to recover some or all of the files on your hard disk. While attempting to recover files, be sure to not write any new files onto the hard disk as the new files may overwrite the contents of a deleted file, making it impossible to recover. You will probably have to boot your system with a floppy and run any recovery programs from there. If you happen to have one of the delete tracking programs installed on your system (a program that keeps track of deleted files in case you want them back) the recovery operation will be relatively simple. Follow the directions in your delete tracking program to recover your files. If not, you will probably have to recover each file individually, supplying the first character of the file name, which is overwritten in the directory when the file is deleted. Most DOS/Windows disk tools programs also have the capability for recovering deleted files so follow the directions included with those programs to do so. Background ========== The original AOL4FREE Macintosh program was developed to fraudulently create free AOL accounts. The creator of that program has pleaded guilty to defrauding America Online for distributing that program. Anyone else attempting to use that program to defraud AOL could also be prosecuted. The AOL4FREE Virus Warning message has been circulating about the Internet and warns of an AOL4FREE virus infected e-mail message that infects and destroys a system when the message is read, but that warning is a hoax and not about this Trojan horse. 1. The AOL4FREE.COM program is a Trojan Horse, not a virus. It does not spread on its own. 2. A Trojan Horse must be run to do any damage. 3. Reading an e-mail message with the Trojan Horse program as an attachment will not run the Trojan Horse and will not do any damage. Note that opening an attached program from within an e-mail reader runs that attached program, which may make it appear that reading the attachment caused the damage. Users should keep in mind that any file with a .COM or .EXE extension is a program, not a document and that double clicking or opening that program will run it. Macintosh users have the additional problem that Macintosh programs do not have readable extensions, and so are more difficult to detect. Extra care should be taken to insure that you do not unintentionally execute an attached program. CIAC still affirms that reading an e-mail message, even one with an attached program, can not do damage to a system. The attachment must be both downloaded onto the system and run to do any damage.

Correct? I am not an expert in this field, so I must defer an judgement. However, remember this: if the device emits a signal within the operating range listed above, and if the range is detectable, I don't see why it can't, unless the duration of the signal is extremely small in micro-seconds??? > Motion sensors- I assume they have to emit some type of transmittion > in order for them to work. I have heard of "radar jammers"...never > seen one...just heard of them. This has to lead me to ask: There is > a way to jam motion sensor signals isnt there? > Yes, but you better watch out! Police are pretty smart people, also. Active devices that are jammers are sold, but usually, not worth the money. However, some homebrew electronics expert can do it. The problem, we must understand, is that tranmission of a signal is governed by the Communications Act in the U.S.. My understanding, is that if you transmit a bonafide K-band signal to a police car while their K-band was turned on and some funny stuff starts happening, my guess, only, is they may pull you over and if they find such an illegal device, the active jammer, you could be in deep trouble. Be careful! > Also: What other things might my trusty radar detector pick up..... > Sometimes, it can pick up other radar detectors from a distance! Usually you will find them on the Ka bands. The testing I have seen on many radar dectectors are not 100% perfect in stopping this. Laser detection is interesting. There are some areas that are using certain Microwave frequencies to transmit road data from one location to another to regulate traffic better. In Troy, Michigan, there are such areas. I have detected every single one of them! Oh by the way, most of the new radar detectors are VG2 stealthed. That is, they cannot be detected by such devices, such as VG2, that law enforcement uses in a few states where radar detectors are illegal and in some parts of Canada. > Don't be good..be the best > Augie-Badcoffee@aol.com Dan Frezza Dan Frezza PGP -- An envelope for your email PGP Key fingerprint =8C E2 78 50 24 80 D7 0C 64 29 D2 3B FE 4B C5 4E ************************************************************************** 12)From: SpyKing@thecodex.com Subject: West Coast Counter-Surveillance Firms I received this thru my website.

Dear moderator, One such eyeglass holder you may want to consider is "Croakies". It is a 1/2" wide elastic band that affords good coverage of a body wire. It has the bonus of being something that is slipped up over the eyeglass frame from behind the ear. This 1" long fabric "tunnel" would give a concealed pathway to run this wire to the nape of your neck, then down you back. Of, course, a "Croakie" worn to a black-tie event would be completely out of character -- unless you can pull off a "movie star" of bad-boy athlete pretext.

Being a 15 year old, excuse the snappy remarks ( |-)) ANyhow, It was The 15 year old son who did the "spying/stalking" now, "Sommy" listened in on all conversations, blah blah blah, yet no bugs could be found, no means of transmitting, etc. Wouldn't this be just _slightly_ obvious that is was an inside job. Other then a few other possiblilities (laser listener, etc) it would be slightly hard to listen in. TV going on/ off, electricity, same thing, another obvious pointer, who else can do that, take your own remote, turn on TV, say that you don't know where remote is. Turn off main breaker switch. Listen in on phone calls, if cordless; scanner, if not, just pick up an extension. Tough. Anyhow, it seemd like a big plot to raise house price. Hmmm, maybe I should stalk myself and sell me stuff for more. What a concept. Looks like BadCoffee was right. All this stuff. Also, the kid is only going to get a strong talking too? Hmm, seems that he should get more then that. Maybe a reward for raising the house. Maybe a job for enhancing a product<- (that was a joke). I apologize if anything offended someone, just a few thoughts about "Sommy" Anyhow, what a hoax/waste of time. Fun though. If everybody liked my thought, say so. If there is a response, maybe I'll write about the A-10 that was "lost". Great list, continue the great work. And BTW, please don't flame me for this!! I don't need it!!

I rode around in cruisers for over a year some time ago (just a couple years ago, really) and I noticed many officers just leave their radar guns on while driving to their next hiding place. If they saw someone driving hellishly fast, they may point the radar gun in their direction, but otherwise, you wouldn't think they were using it. I doubt the cruiser itself is setting off your detector. There's nothing particularly special about a police cruiser compared to a civilian vehicle, other than the fancy lights and sirens, that is.

Bob ************************************************************************** 5)From: Willie Teasley Subject: Re: Dumb question about this micro-cam First, no question (when asked honestly) is dumb! Only a year or two ago, I had the exact questions and luckily, someone sat down, talked to me. My most popular cameras are the type you ask about and my BEST demo is far from hidden. First, the "demo" ... it is a 1/16" I/R sensitive pinhole mounted in a 3"X5" black box. A DB9 (like a mouse uses) protrudes from the bottom carrying signals. Next to the monitor is the transmitter it is hooked to, another box about 6"X4". No one ever notices these very obvious items until I point them out. The reason is their excellent disguise! On the front of both is a sticker proclaiming it "Windows '95 Compatable." Everyone assumes it is part of the computer setup here and ignores it. Next, I have a colour version mounted in the front of a fairly ordinary ball cap (a friend embroidered a design to the front, an attempt to hide the pinhole). Along each side are a set of AAA batteries then atop it is a simple 500mw "plate" style transmitter with antenna woven into the brim. We have taken this into the heart of drug deals, photographed clearly enough to recover serial numbers from money that changed hands. With a range of about a half mile, work becomes VERY easy. Fortunatly, these "component" items are becoming available so that everyone can place the parts into normal surroundings. the CIA captured spys with cameras in trash cans, baby sitter monitors in VCR's are the rage, simple brief cases (or for voyeurs, gym type duffel bags) have all worked great.

TELE-MONITOR 2000 The Tele-Monitor 2000 is a very sophisticated audio monitoring device. Utilizing advanced logic-chip technology, it enables you to discreetly listen in on your premises via regular telephone lines from any telephone in the world! The Tele-Monitor 2000 requires no activating beeper or whistle, does not affect normal incoming and outgoing calls, and offers unprecedented capability and flexibility by allowing up to 4 units per line to be connected. It allows you to listen in on your premises with ease! The unit's sensitive microphone will pick up even a whisper up to 35 feet away. The Tele-Monitor 2000 requires a two-step user identity verification process before allowing monitoring access. This latest model also has a "quick access" mode option for applications on a dedicated line. To monitor, just dial your phone number from any tone telephone, access the monitor, and then push the button on the phone corresponding to the area you wish to listen in on. You may "move" around the premises (if you have multiple units connected) as much as you desire--just push the number of the desired area and it instantly transfers monitoring to that zone. You can switch between areas as much as you like for as long as you like. Or, by pushing "5", you can monitor all areas simultaneously. The Tele-Monitor 2000 is a completely self-contained unit; no actual telephone is required for its operation. Equipped with modular plugs for instant connection to telephone jacks. Needs no batteries. Dimensions: 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" x 1". Price: $199. THE X-PHONE The X-Phone works and looks like a standard telephone. But it also has the capability to function as an advanced remote audio monitoring device. It's so sophisticated that you don't even need to call in to see if there's activity in the area; it will continuously monitor the area and call you when something is happening. When audio activity occurs in the area of the X-Phone, it silently and automatically calls the telephone number you have programmed. when you answer, you are immediately and clearly listening to all of the audio activity in the area of the X-Phone. The intruders there have no idea whatsoever that the innocuous-looking telephone over there has not only detected them, but has already called you and you're listening to every word they're saying! You can then call 911 or take other appropriate action. It can be an effective component of your home or business security system. The X-Phone can be programmed to call any telephone in the world, and the number to be called can be changed as often as you require. Additionally, this sophisticated unit has the capabilities to provide unprecedented and devastating new surveillance options; however, you are warned that it is to be used only in a legal and lawful manner in compliance with all applicable laws and F.C.C. regulations. Simple to use--it operates as a fully functioning regular telephoneuntil you activate it. When you leave your home or business, just punch in the telephone number of where you'll be at, flick the special switch on the phone, and you're set. It will call you when there's something you need to hear. Price: $249. FAX-LINE SPY This device was originally developed to meet a particular federal agency's requirements for audio monitoring capability in certain office environments. It installs in just seconds on the fax line--a generally ignored and unguarded gateway into many offices. This device enables the user to utilize a working dedicated fax line as a private audio monitoring line. Every fax machine owner is familiar with the fax ringing but no fax coming through (usually due to a wrong number, transmission problem, or sequential dialing junk calls). Little or no attention is paid to this occurrence. When a fax machine is called, it listens for the "handshake" tones in order to connect to the calling fax. It normally tries for about 50 seconds and if a "handshake" doesn't occur, it "times out" and hangs up the line. But with the Fax-Line Spy installed on the called line, the line can remain open and the unit's sensitive microphone enables the user to hear all the audio activity in the area. Installation anywhere between the fax machine and the wall jack is quick and simple with its modular connectors, and it remains very discreet since the back of a fax machine is rarely examined. Adding markings such as "surge protector" on it also adds to its transparency. This unit also can work with an answering machine or on any line that automatically answers calls. Warning: this device is to be used only in a legal and lawful manner in compliance with all applicable laws and F.C.C. regulations. Price: $129.

Smith" Subject: Cable company surveillance? I was watching the tube the other day and was bombarded with commercial "threats" from my local cable company. It appears cable "stealing" is quite popular in my area. The commercial warned that TCI (my cable company) has the lastest technology (they should a linesman shaking a wire) at their disposal. What detection methods are used to find out whether a signal is being used or not. All signals are sent reguardless of whether you pay for cable or not , right? The cable co. leases you a "box" to descramble these signals to convert them to their orginal phase, amplitude, period ... So if these signal are coming to every house with a cable hook up, how can they detect whether or not you are recieving the Descrambled channel.

The laser has to be at a right angle to the window and the interior of the room cannot have any other spurious noise. Ambient noise from outside will also flood the window vibration. After the reflected laser is demodulated it goes through standard audio type amplification ie. band amplifiers etc. The window vibration is critical and in all aspects of real world life the system is only about 10 to 25 % effective.

I found this on the web and thought the list could use a smile ;-) Pizza Anyone? FBI agents conducted a raid of a psychiatric hospital in San Diego that was under investigation for medical insurance fraud. After hours of reviewing thousands of medical records, the dozens of agents had worked up quite an appetite. The agent in charge of the investigation called a nearby pizza parlor with delivery service to order a quick dinner for his colleagues. The following telephone conversation took place and was recorded by the FBI because they were taping all conversations at the hospital: Agent: Hello. I would like to order 19 large pizzas and 67 cans of soda. Pizza Man: And where would you like them delivered? Agent: We're over at the psychiatric hospital. PM: The psychiatric hospital? Agent: That's right. I'm an FBI agent. PM: You're an FBI agent? Agent: That's correct. Just about everybody here is. PM: And you're at the psychiatric hospital? Agent: That's correct. And make sure you don't go through the front doors. We have them locked. You will have to go around to the back to the service entrance to deliver the pizzas. PM: And you say you're all FBI agents? Agent: That's right. How soon can you have them here? PM: And everyone at the psychiatric hospital is an FBI agent? Agent: That's right. We've been here all day and we're starving. PM: How are you going to pay for all of this? Agent: I have my checkbook right here. PM: And you're all FBI agents? Agent: That's right. Everyone here is an FBI agent.

We have read with interest the articles on the spycam, and would like to draw readers attention to this item, and the possible pitfalls. We obviously have the video recording briefcase, which is invaluable, but we recently commisioned the spycam to be placed into a necktie. As with every piece of equipment we vigorously tried it to ascertain its limits before using it in the field. It was useless. The transmitter interfered with TV signalls, and was thus useless if you attended someone's home, which had a TV broadcasting at the time, or a bar that might have some football game being broadcast live!! You would have created a riot! We therefore commisioned a piece of equipment to be made. We used the spycam, built in a divers watch, operating of a lower frequency. Yes the distance is not so great, butthe picture is clear. We looked at the possibility of sunglasses, but it has not got the flexibility of the watch. You cannot always wear sunglasses, nor can you wear a cap all the time. If anyone would like to purchase a model, we have developed a number of models for resale.

As much as I'd like to say that chart is correct, I'm not sure. Maybe it is, but I just can't find a similar chart or reference around here right now. How could laser radar operate within the _visible_ light spectrum? How would it know what is light bouncing back from an object and what is natural ambient light? Why can't one see laser radar in action if it operates in the visible spectrum? It seems like it would have to operate at such a low power level that it would become useless.

Sounds like the TV/FM jammer kit sold by Information Unlimited. I'm not sure if only plans are available, and the kit is a bit pricy compared to what you've seen before. It wouldn't interfere with just any video monitor, only those pulling their signals out of the air. That means it will not interfere with a CATV system.

So if these signal are coming to every house with a cable hook up, > how can they detect whether or not you are recieving the Descrambled Many new systems employ a two-way communication model. That is, when you select a "pay per view" movie from your box, it sends a signal to the cable co saying "Box XYZZY is ordering movie MOAB", and you see it on your bill. Periodically, the cable co will send out authorization signals down the line to all the boxes allowed to get a certain event that was preordered, or to disable all boxes out on the "net" and then reenable only the ones they know about... This way, if someone gets a box (not a clone of another one) and it has say, HBO, enabled then it'll work until they send out the "ALL DISABLE", "ENABLE XYZZY", "ENABLE XYZZA"... signals... Then one day you turn on your box, and it's dead... *Some* boxes out there have test chips in them which enable all of the channels, regardless of what comes down the pike... As for how they detect, an oft-used technique is to go thru your list of known "HBO SUBSCRIBERS", and tell their box that HBO is on Channel 27, but to display channel 17 on the box when they tune it in. That way, all the paying HBO subscribers don't pitch a fit because you changed the channel # of their favorite station, BUT, this only happens to the boxes of the PAYING subscribers. For the rip-off artists, they continue to receive HBO on physical channel 17, but receive a different set of commercials -- often they have an 800 # to call for a free t-shirt. Some fool calls it, and instead of the t-shirt, he gets a visit from the police for theft of service... As for detecting where a pirate box is? Well, that's a bit tougher -- they *MAY*, as things become more digital, be able to record what boxes are being fed by what splitters (routers?), and correlate that with their list of paying subscribers and then narrow it down from there... So, to keep them from catching up on you, the return path signal has to be blocked -- a notch filter tuned to the appropriate frequency and put between the cable box and wall outlet will do it nicely... NO, I don't know what the freq. is... Check out Radio Electronics, Popular Electronics, etc. classified ads for things called "BULLET BLOCKERS" and use at your own risk...

We have now progressed from mono to colour as the board are very similar in size, only using the black and white camera when we have to obtain video in a low light situation. We used to record onto the Sony GV5 but they are like rocking horse S... in the UK and now use the Sony GV50 which has the build in screen. The problem with this is the thickness of the unit but you can still get it covertly into the small of your back. I belive the equivalent of the GV5 is still available in the states but in the NTSC format, which if you have the correct editing system is not a problem. As for transmitting the signal from the unit. I dont belive there is any cheap way of doing this. We use a very small microwave transmitters which puts out about 50mw of power and works on around 1.2 Ghz. The unit that was interfering with the televisions must have been a normal domestic video sender which you could purchase for around 20 pounds sterling. In the UK a reasonable micro wave system with transmitter and receiver would cost upwards of 1500.00 pounds. We have carried out some test with our unit and have achieved a range of approximately 1000m line of sight with omni directional antennas on the roof of a vehicle but a more conservative distance in a normal street /urban situation would be around 50 to 100m. As for placing both a camera and transmitter in a clock, the only problem I could see would be powering the unit for any length of time (no pun intended) For outside OP work we use a 10Amp sealed lead acid, which would power our unit for around 10 hours but thats a big battery to fit in a clock.

You'll have to open up different models before deciding on the right one. Next, you need to be able to "position" the MicroChip camera inside for the best field of view. The drilled hole for the pinhole lens must be perfectly aligned. A tiny pinhole should also be drilled for the microphone. Power to the camera is supplied by spicing into the radios power supply. The video transmitter is next. It must ALSO fit inside the radio, be plugged into the camera AND radios power supply. Position of the transmitters antenna is critical. Ideally the clock radio is tall enough to accomodate. If not run a wire from "antenna out" down radio's power cord and place antenna remotely. Remember, the MicroChip video camera comes with audio. This must also be plugged into video transmitter (hopefully the radio is usually off so you can hear). If the radio is on, I hope you like the channel it's tuned to because that's all you'll hear... The receiver can be placed inside nearby vehicle which should have rooftop antenna for best reception. Placing the receiving antenna inside the vehicle will "shield" reception... Receiver can than be plugged into TV monitor and/or video event recorder or time lapse video recorder. Both need to be DC powered unless you plan on using a battery invertor and/or isolator as used in surveillance vans... If you need further help with this project contact me directly. I've built a lot of these things... P.S.

Subject: TV Jammer // Windows NT Issue TV JAMMER: I can't speak for a DITY project in subject, but know from personal experience that it's fairly easy [or at least once was]. Specifically, I'm going back some 35+ years now to when I used a standard radio--you know, a regular dial that was rotated to determine the radio station you were on. Well, I pulled one of the dial units from another radio, and hooked them up in series and, bingo, all the tv's up to some 2-3 houses away went real bad. It didn't take the neighbors too long to figure out who since I was standing outside smiling/laughing and watching the neighbors come out and look at their antennas [before cable, you see]. A little on the light side, but it was fun at the time. What has changed in tv's of today and whether a unit of some years ago would still work,k or require some slight modification, or what....I don't know. WINDOWS NT ISSUE: would bei nterested in locating copy of the Lophtcrack, in addition to the PwDump and NTcrack hacks. Would settle for paper copy; it's always nice to have something to fall back on, if need be, way down the road. Spyking: re your Surv List FAQ.

I've been busy working on a library of routines (DLL) that are compatible with the usual PGP functions, e.g: PK encrypt, decrypt, sign IDEA encrypt, decrypt Keyring management (minimal) I have most of this finished, and could fully implement in either VB or C programs probably in a week or two. Just to be clear, this isn't a "shell" that needs PGP - the routines are stand-alone. The e-mail market is pretty much saturated with PGP-this and PGP-that, and I'm wondering if PGP compatibility would be of use for a vertical product in the investigative arena. If you have any ideas for a product, let's have a discussion. I should mention that I have next to zero experience with Internet protocols/winsock programming and aside from a personal interest, no real investigative experience either. Also, at this point I'm not inclined to distribute the library, so please don't ask for a copy. The legal issues have yet to be resolved, and I'll reconsider my position on this when I know more about where I stand. ************************************************************************** 14)From: mjones@nbserv2.dseg.ti.com (Marty Jones) Subject: Re: TV Jammers > I have been looking for something I used to see all the time > advertised in electronics hobbyist magazines and misc. catalogs, but they > seem to have disappeared for some unknown reason.

Also, a separate unit (or a bandswitch) would be needed to cover both the low (~60 MHz) and high (~200 MHz) sections of the VHF band. Only one channel would be jammed. To simultaneously jam all channels within a band, you would need a comb generator (best implemeted at baseband or IF) that could be upconverted and amplified. It is unlikely that any of these devices would "jam" a computer monitor. They depended on being able to easily overpower the relatively weak TV signal appearing at the receiver's antenna. The computer monitor is hardwired, and wouldn't be susceptible in the same manner.

Great job Mr SpkKing, I take my hat of to you. ******************************************************* TV Jammers & free cable? Jammers - general I had lots of fun with these I my younger days, so much that the electronics shop in my town gave me free componnts due to their increaced business. The circuit will not work on monitors as they are RF, however if your transmitter is in the mega watt range then .... A propper jammer should cover the complete bandwidth (8meg) of the channel but the cheap version follows... Firstly find out you cahannels are the VHF UHF and their frequencies. Armed with this go to you good bookshop and look in the radio amature section. Get a book containing simple circuit diagarms (AARL handbook is a godsend!). Find a transmitter circuit theat works about in the same range as the tv pct and viola! Jammers - UHF Anyone here in London that receives the new "Channed 5" and has a video recorder can vouch, modulators are ready made jammers. They are those small metal boxes which the aerial out socket is on. Thes are found in video's, those plug-into-tv video games, old personal computers, some camcorders etc. and have seen them advertised separately in electronic component shops. The better ones can be tuned. How they work... The tv signal has a bandwith of about 8 MHz. On the lower ends or the band you have the field which is 50Hz (60US) transmitting around here overwhelms the signal and makes the picture roll from top to bottom. Moving up slightly is the line frequency, which makes the picture move from side to side. Still further is the colour burst info overiding this will make the pic black & white. All the previous are close together. The largest frequency range is the colour/video info and transmitting here usually gives coloured/blackwhite lines pattens and most home made transmitters have too narower bandwidth to make a 'real' impact here. Finally on the op of the band is the sound carrier and you can place the person back to the days of the old silent movie! Modifying circuits - rule of thumb: Coils - to get a lower frequency: Add more turns. Insert a ferrite core; further into the coil, the lower the frequency and this can serve for tuning too. Push the loops of the coil closer together. Capacitors : Higher the value lower the frequency. Look for the small beaded one. *** The opposites to the above are generally also true *** PS. I'M ALWAYS INTERESTED IN ANY CIRCUITS IN ANY SUBJECTS - Please. ************************* Free Cable As told to me "The box has an EEPROM usually in a socket which needs to be updated, so subscribe to the full package. Then get your replacement EEPROM and swap the to out and compalin that your set is not working (someone will turn up to fix it or it will be reprogrammed down the line -not sure which). Now subscribe to either the minimum package and a few days after they have sent down the reprogammimg codes replace the chip or cancel the substription, buy your own box and put the chip in it" ************************************************************************** 8)From: William Roche Subject: Interns Data Register Well Members, there has been a fantastic response to the Data Register for P.Is & Surveillance professionals, and all who are in the Investigative profession, ect ect, the email has been pooring in like the rain literaly. So once again if you are an Investigator or Surveillance Pro, and would like your business recorded on Intern`s Data Register for FREE!,then email me. The Data register will either be available on the net or via PC Software, decision has not yet been made on either of the two, but the software looks more likely. I think that it will be only available to Private Investigators, Surveillance Pro`s, Law-enforcement, Security Pro`s, ect. The Database will consist of P.Is, Forensic Professionals in all fields of investigation, Security Pro`s all over the world, Medical Examiners, ect. By the press of a few buttons or mouse you can access the specific contact anywhere in the world at your fingertips, a wealth of contacts to make your Investigation run smoothly, possibly cutting down your expenses and even boosting your business. Incidently if you register, why not pass this info on to other agencies who you deal with or whatever.

Subject: Re: handcuff locks; locksmith licensing Response for BADCOFFEE items in Issue 96, items #4 & #9. "Government issue" handcuffs is a quezy term. USGovt purchases handcuffs just like any police dept., i.e., for a manufacturer. There is no particular difference in their handcuffs as with any other. "Over the counter" cuffs, on the other hand can be one of two types: first, the 'standard'cuffs that are a quality type, and second, a cheap knock-off like a pair that is 'made in Japan' and sells for $5-15.00. The latter type is not worth it. The first type is! In terms of keys there are only 2-3 out there. Any of these can be obtained from a number of magazine sources or walk in shops that sell "police/security-related" equipment. It used to be just a standard key opened the cuffs, but within the past 15 or so years, they have added a couple additional protective methods. What is interesting is that these methods are commonly known and the additional methods are just a factor in requiring more than one turn of the key to open the lock. Get to a standard security type store and you can pick up the various type keys for less that $30-40.00. You might also want to consider a set of handcuff lock picks; they can be made from a dozen or so hairpins. My set is becoming dusty from lack of use, but I always keep it [or at least a couple specific picks concealed on my person when I travel...just in case; reason here is that there are other persons besides law enforcement that may carry/use handcuffs. Somewhat infrequently used, but they have been used for criminal activities such as home/business break-in's. It's a lot easier to lock up the people in cuffs, then to have a person watching them while the home or business is being ransacked. Now as to other item relative to licensing for an "entry" specialist. There t'aint no such thing!! Depending upon the state involved, licensing occurs at the state, county, or city level. Sometimes, in more than one area. The ALOA [Associated Locksmiths of America] can point you in the right direction. I think they have a web site, but since I haven't been affiliated with them for several years, can't really say. The possession of lockpicking tools in just about every state requires a locksmithing license; it also requires a background check and bonding. As an ALOA member you have a ALOA minimum bond. Background check to ensure you don't have a criminal record. Depending upon state, you get a journeyman/beginner's license, work for someone else, and have a qualifying test taken. Note that auto reposession businesses and auto dealers have tools; they have a license to carry them, and are limited to when/here they can be used. Re your homemade locksmith license; depending upon the state you are stopped in, it won't work, and you are looking at a minimum of 5 years for possession of burglary tools!!!! [not the way to go, I'm sure]. As for being involved in construction company, you might get a carry&possession type license that would fall into the same realm as that of an auto repossession business. It won't be cheap, depending upon state, but may well be worth it. NY/NJ have the most stringent laws relative to possession of locksmithing tools; the burglary tool possession laws and penalties are not very good either if caught with them. NJ has one of the top three ALOA chapters in the USA; check it out!!! the contacts and advantages of being an ALOA member would outweigh the costs of joining and maintaining membership. AND they have a real snazzy state seminar each year in addition to numerous meetings and workshops where locksmithing professionals can teach you a lot!!! By the way, did you check out the locks & locksmithing book I spoke of a couple weeks ago? Also, check Soldier of Fortune magazine. Several advertisers there have lock books, handcuff keys, etc that would be of value to you. I could probably go on, but best stop for now. I've got so many irons in the fire that relate to the numerous subject of privacy, surveillance, eavesdropping, countersurveillance and other personal and professional security practices and technologies, it's hard to get time to respond, but when I do.... ************************************************************************** 13)From: Gary Cohen Subject: Att: S.

This is indeed a good idea. Pager cases are available from most any company that services pagers as dealers usually want "new" looking cases. Old ones are typically discarded. Among other products, my company manufacturers "pagers" that contail a transmitter as well as a mic. Power ranges up to 1 watt. These require a license as they are not an FCC part 15 device. They are crystal controlled,custom devices. We also make a "cell phone" with built in television camera and transmitter. The unit still has a working display and will allow the user to attempt a call (though it won't go thru) Both video and audio are transmitted. I also operate a PI firm . lisenced in Florida (Tiger Security and Investigations, Inc) We have an excellent database resource compendium and access to many obscure and usually unattainable systems. While I read with interest the postings from the curious and while I am glad to share, it is important for your readers to realize that TIME is a professionals "stock in trade" TIME is a finite entity combined with our knowledge and experience that give us something to sell and a means for feeding our families and paying our staff. Your postings have provided information and where to look for a number of resources and databases and I am greatful for those. Some of the technical "advice" I have seen should be used with caution as the user may find him/her self in serious trouble. As an ex-fed with 30 years experience both building, designing and useing discrete listening, monitoring, recording devices, my advice is BE VERY CAREFUL. The equipment used by govt. and serious professionals is not novelty level, is not detectable(!!!) and the information properly gained will result in arrest and conviction. I'm glad to see the information being shared. In most cases readers should consider it "raw data" as yet not tested or refined beyone the experience of the writer. Sorry to run on so long.

Tape? how do police detectives photo prints from crime scene after dusting?<< Being a member of law enforcement, I have had a lot of experience in lifting and analyzing latent prints. The most common, efficient, and practical methond of transferring latent prints is to lightly dust the print with latent print powder. There are several types of powders, depending on the surface in question, but they are basically graphite powders. The print is then lifted by applying fingerprint tape, and placed onto a white, glossy background, usually a 3 x 5 card. These products are available at most law enforcement suppliers, and also Gall's Inc 1-800-477-7766. >>Lets say I have prints......is there a service that can process them to positive ID?<< I am not aware of any commercial sevices that compare latent prints, as it is usually done "in house", as you must have a suspect print to compare it with using arrest files, etc. Jason Lee Permian Protection Services VIPprotect@aol.com Url: members.aol.com/VIPprotect ************************************************************************** 7)From: Richard Smerker Subject: Re: Intro/Request for DTMF Decoder Try WinTone, it runs in Windows 95 or NT, and uses your sound card.

I am looking for some equipment for cheapest prices possible because these would be my first set (other than a set of Jiggler 10 keys which were stolen: were in my jacket and it got stolen : ( ) Thank you and keep rolling in the great information!! Also, what brand of car security system would be most likely to prevent both amateurs and pro's alike from successfuly stealing the car, while also not being an incredible inconvenience to myself.. Thank you (I am moving to an area where car theft seems to be the residents primary income, therefore I need some prevention!) ************************************************************************** 9)From: Elementary Investigations Pty Ltd Subject: Re: fingerprints Badcoffee recently inquired about fingerprint techniques. Once an object has been dusted the latent print is usually lifted with special tape 1 1/2 " wide and placed onto a fingerprint ID card. The police have a special camera setup for photographing prints, it has it's own light source and a bracket to ensure exact reproduction and focus, however you can do the same yourself but you need to ensure the photo is exactly 1:1. If you are going to id the print yourself, then 1:1 is not necessary, it can be larger if you like, just ensure close detail is in the photo(probably recommend a macro lense on a 35mm camera with a cable release)to identify all the characteristics of the print. I once took a photo of fingerprints to the local police station for identification, the photo was slightly larger than 1:1 and was therefore useless. AFIS (Automated Fingerprint Identification System) is what what agencies use to ID a particular print these days. Hope this helps Regards Johan Erlandsson lmntry@ozemail.com.au ************************************************************************** 10)From: SpyKing@thecodex.com Subject: A letter from the Smithsonian This has nothing to do with surveillance but since the postings were sparse today I thought I would post this and hopefully bring a smile... A letter from the Smithsonian Institute The story behind this...Apparently, there is a nutjob who digs things out of his back yard and sends his "discoveries" to the Smithsonian Institute, labeling them with scientific names and insisting they are actual archeological finds. Anyway, what follows is a letter from the Smithsonian Institute in response to his submission of a recently discovered specimen. ==================================================== Paleoanthropology Division Smithsonian Institute 207 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, DC 20078 July 1996 Dear Sir: Thank you for your latest submission to the Institute, labeled "211-D, layer seven, next to the clothesline post. Hominid skull." We have given this specimen a careful and detailed examination, and regret to inform you that we disagree with your theory that it represents "conclusive proof of the presence of Early Man in Charleston County two million years ago." Rather, it appears that what you have found is the head of a Barbie doll, of the variety one of our staff, who has small children, believes to be the "Malibu Barbie". It is evident that you have given a great deal of thought to the analysis of this specimen, and you may be quite certain that those of us who are familiar with your prior work in the field were loathe to come to contradiction with your findings. However, we do feel that there are a number of physical attributes of the specimen which might have tipped you off to its modern origin: 1. The material is molded plastic. Ancient hominid remains are typically fossilized bone. 2. The cranial capacity of the specimen is approximately 9 cubic centimeters, well below the threshold of even the earliest identified proto-hominids. 3. The dentition pattern evident on the "skull" is more consistent with the common domesticated canine (dog) than it is with the "ravenous man-eating Pliocene clams" you speculate roamed the wetlands during that time. This latter finding is certainly one of the most intriguing hypotheses you have submitted in your history with this institution, but the evidence seems to weigh rather heavily against it. Without going into too much detail, let us say that: A. The specimen looks like the head of a Barbie doll that a dog has chewed on. B. Clams don't have teeth. It is with feelings tinged with melancholy that we must deny your request to have the specimen carbon dated. This is partially due to the heavy load our lab must bear in its normal operation, and partly due to carbon dating's notorious inaccuracy in fossils of recent geologic record. To the best of our knowledge, no Barbie dolls were produced prior to 1956 AD, and carbon dating is likely to produce wildly inaccurate results Sadly, we must also deny your request that we approach the National Science Foundation's Phylogeny Department with the concept of assigning your specimen the scientific name "Australopithecus spiff-arino." Speaking personally, I, for one, fought tenaciously for the acceptance of your proposed taxonomy, but was ultimately voted down because the species name you selected was hyphenated, and didn't really sound like it might be Latin. However, we gladly accept your generous donation of this fascinating specimen to the museum. While it is undoubtedly not a hominid fossil, it is, nonetheless, yet another riveting example of the great body of work you seem to accumulate here so effortlessly. You should know that our Director has reserved a special shelf in his own office for the display of the specimens you have previously submitted to the Institution, and the entire staff speculates daily on what you will happen upon next in your digs at the site you have discovered in your back yard. We eagerly anticipate your trip to our nation's capital that you proposed in your last letter, and several of us are pressing the Director to pay for it. We are particularly interested in hearing you expand on your theories surrounding the "trans-positating fillifitation of ferrous ions in a structural matrix" that makes the excellent juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex femur you recently discovered take on the deceptive appearance of a rusty 9-mm Sears Craftsman automotive crescent wrench.

Absolutely tremendous this List!!! Anyway, 1) Instead of paying $1700 here in Aus for the "Explorer" (Unit which sweeps 30-1300mhz in one second with digi and FM demodulator), I wonder if anybody has a "block description" of how these circuits work and without to much hassle, get an old scanner and connect up to allow to sweep? I know it wouldn't be worth it but how much would it take? 2) I'm dried out of the up to date frequencies used for bugging allocations used here in Aussie. I know the wireless mics for studio etc but not the bands used here anymore. I remember what they used to call professional 120 mhz, use to just put on WFM/FM and drive down to the city and pickup a few fade in/out on the way. 3) For tracking sigs while driving, just thinking poor mans direction finder: have four close antennas (bundle) with a shield separating the four (think of a cross looking at the top) I haven't seriously looked into it but one could attach a unit which looks at a specific freq while your scanner is on the same frequency and have a comparator circuit to determine with of the four antennas get the strongest signal so you have a visual indication instead of trial and error with signal strengths, what do you think? Stupid????? 4) What is the spray called that shows infrared transmission? I currently use a solar cell connected via a capacitor to a portable amplifier - very good for testing remotes etc seems to be sensitive enough. Only good at night though.
