File Sharing via Ad-Hoc Network

noreply@blogger.com (Lahiru Dilranga Silva) — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 03:16:00 +0000

Hey Guys,
I found that sometimes we don’t have any media to share movies and files with our friends. So I am going to tell you that how you can share your movies and other files with friends. We will be doing this by transfering files via Ad-Hoc Wireless Network.
1. Go to Network And Sharing Center ( Control Panel -> Network And Internet -> Network and Sharing Centre )
2. Click on ‘Set up a new connection or network’.

3. Select last option “Set up a wireless ad hoc (computer to computer) network” and click Next.

4. Now enter the network name and security key for your ad hoc network.

5. Your ad hoc network has been created.

6. Now there will be a wireless ad hoc network in your laptop displaying “Waiting for Users”.

7. Same network will be showing in your friends laptop.

8. Connect to your wireless ad hoc network from your friends laptop. When both of you get connected it will show connected in both the laptops.

9. Now open “My Computer” in your friend’s laptop and click on “Network”.

10. After click on Network, it will show computers presented in your wireless network.

11. Now you can access files from here, but it will ask for username and password for that computer.

12. Now to stop asking for password, open “Network and Sharing Center” and click on “Change Advanced Sharing Settings”.

13. Now you need to turn off the Password Protected Sharing. Select “Home or Work (current profile)”.

14. Now turn off Password Protected Sharing.

15. Sometimes your ad hoc network is treated as Public Networks, in that case do same with Public Profile.

16. Turn off Password Protected Sharing

17. Now you will be able to access the files without username and passwords. But there will only be one shared folder with the name of Users.

18. Now you need to share the folder on your laptop to access it with your friends laptop. To do this goto the properties of the folder (Right Click -> Properties)

19. Now go to “Sharing” tab and click on “Advanced Sharing”.

20. Now check mark “Share this folder” and click on “OK”.

21. Now your folder will be available in the network and you can access the files. ENJOY…!!

Lock/Unlock Computer With Pendrive

First, what is “syskey”?
SYSKEY is a utility that encrypts the hashed password information in a SAM database in a Windows system using a 128-bit encryption key.
SYSKEY was an optional feature added in Windows NT 4.0 SP3. It was meant to protect against offline password cracking attacks so that the SAM database would still be secure even if someone had a copy of it. However, in December 1999, a security team from Bind View found a security hole in SYSKEY which indicates that a certain form of cryptanalytic attack is possible offline. A brute force attack then appeared to be possible.
Microsoft later collaborated with Bind View to issue a fix for the problem (dubbed the ‘Syskey Bug’) which appears to have been settled and SYSKEY has been pronounced secure enough to resist brute force attack.
According to Todd Sabin of the Bind View team RAZOR, the pre-RC3 versions of Windows 2000 were also affected.
So this is pretty cool, right? Well, I really like the idea of keeping this on Floppy so that it requires a floppy disk (a sort of 2 factor (hardware/software) authentication?).
Naturally I wanted to go a bit further and use this on a USB drive instead of storing to a Floppy. I can’t see myself carrying a floppy and a USB floppy drive around with me. After all, this provides another layer of security.
NOTE: I haven’t tested copying data from 1 USB to another USB to see if it works as a backup. This way you could lock up a USB drive as a spare if needed.
Here’s how to get this to work using a USB drive.
1. Insert your USB drive into your system and wait for it to be recognized and install any necessary drivers.
2. Fire up disk management and re-assign the drive letter it was given to “A”.

Start up disk management by clicking Start and typing diskmgmt.msc

Right-click the USB drive and choose to assign driver letter or path.

Assign it to letter “A”

Accept the warning message

Now your USB drive is “A”

3. Run Syskey and save encryption to USB Drive “A”

Click Start and type syskey followed by hitting Enter

Syskey launched; Click “Update”

Choose “Store Startup key on floppy disk” and click “OK”

You’ll be prompted to enter your diskette. Make sure your USB drive is inserted and writable.
4. Reboot and have fun. Don’t lose your USB disk! Also, to revert this, you can run syskey again and choose to store it locally instead of “on a floppy disk”.

Open CMD with right click

If you don’t already have a quick launch icon or a hotkey set to open a command prompt, there’s really quick trick that you can do on any Windows 7 or Vista computer to open up a command prompt without having to navigate the menu.
Just hold down the Shift key and right-click on the desktop…

And then you can choose “Open Command Window Here” from the menu. The great thing about this is that the current path is the desktop, which is convenient for manipulating files on the desktop.

Of course you can always right-click on any folder icon in the system while holding down the shift key:

Or inside any folder:

The great thing about this trick is that it works when you are working on somebody else’s computer… it also would be an easy way to open a command prompt when using a CrossLoop session to remotely fix a computer.

   FOREWORD

Nobody wants to get involved in a criminal case and I've yet to meet a
hacker who was fully prepared for it happening to them. There are thousands
of paper and electronic magazines, CD-ROMS, web pages and text files about
hackers and hacking available, yet there is nothing in print until now that
specifically covers what to do when an arrest actually happens to you. Most
hackers do not plan for an arrest by hiding their notes or encrypting their
data, and most of them have some sort of address book seized from them too
(the most famous of which still remains the one seized from The Not So
Humble Babe). Most of them aren't told the full scope of the investigation
up front, and as the case goes on more comes to light, often only at the
last minute. Invariably, the hacker in question was wiretapped and/or
narced on by someone previously raided who covered up their own raid or
minimized it in order to get off by implicating others. Once one person
goes down it always affects many others later. My own
experience comes from living with a retired hacker arrested ten months after
he had stopped hacking for old crimes because another hacker informed on
him in exchange for being let go himself. What goes around, comes around.
It's food for thought that the hacker you taunt today will be able to cut a
deal for himself by informing on you later. From what I've seen on the
criminal justice system as it relates to hackers, the less enemies you pick
on the better and the less groups you join and people who you i nteract
with the better as well. There's a lot to be said for being considered a
lamer and having no one really have anything to pin on you when the feds
ask around.

I met Agent Steal, ironically, as a result of the hackers who had fun
picking on me at Defcon. I posted the speech I gave there on the Gray Areas
web page (which I had not originally intended to post, but decided to after
it was literally stolen out of my hands so I could not finish it) and
someone sent Agent Steal a copy while he was incarcerated. He wrote me a
letter of support, and while several hackers taunted me that I had no
friends in the community and was not wanted, and one even mailbombed our
CompuServe account causing us to lose the account and our email there, I
laughed knowing that this article was in progress and that of all of the
publications it could have been given to first it was Gray Areas that was
chosen.

This article marks the first important attempt at cooperation to inform the
community as a whole (even our individual enemies) about how best to
protect themselves. I know there will be many more hacker cases until
hackers work together instead of attacking each other and making it so easy
for the government to divide them. It's a sad reality that NAMBLA,
deadheads, adult film stars and bookstores, marijuana users and other
deviant groups are so much more organized than hackers who claim to be so
adept at, and involved with, gathering and using information. Hackers are
simply the easiest targets of any criminal subculture. While Hackerz.org
makes nice T-shirts (which they don't give free or even discount to hackers
in jail, btw), they simply don't have the resources to help hackers in
trouble. Neither does the EFF, which lacks lawyers willing to work pro bono
(free) in most of the 50 states. Knight Lightning still owes his attorney
money. So does Bernie S. This is not something that disappears from your
life the day the case is over. 80% or more of prisoners lose their lovers
and/or their families after the arrest. While there are notable exceptions,
this has been true for more hackers than I care to think about. The FBI or
Secret Service will likely visit your lovers and try to turn them against
you. The mainstream media will lie about your charges, the facts of your
case and the outcome. If you're lucky they'll remember to use the word
"allegedly." While most hackers probably think Emmanuel Goldstein and 2600
will help them, I know of many hackers whose cases he ignored totally when
contacted. Although he's credited for helping Phiber Optik, in reality
Phiber got more jail time for going to trial on Emmanuel's advice than his
co-defendants who didn't have Emmanuel help them and pled instead. Bernie
S. got his jaw broken perhaps in part from the government's anger at
Emmanuel's publicizing of the case, and despite all the attention Emmanuel
has gotten for Kevin Mitnick it didn't stop Mitnick's being put in
solitary confinement or speed up his trial date any. One thing is clear
though. Emmanuel's sales of 2600 dramatically increased as a result of
covering the above cases to the tune of over 25,000 copies per issue. It
does give pause for thought, if he cares so much about the hackers and not
his own sales and fame, as to why he has no ties to the Hackerz.org defense
fund or why he has not started something useful of his own. Phrack and
other zines historically have merely reposted incorrect newspaper reports
which can cause the hackers covered even more damage. Most of your hacker
friends who you now talk to daily will run from you after your arrest and
will tell other people all sorts of stories to cover up the fact they don't
know a thing. Remember too that your "friends" are the people most likely
to get you arrested too, as even if your phone isn't wiretapped now theirs
may be, and the popular voice bridges and conference calls you talk to them
on surely are.

They say information wants to be free, and so here is a gift to the
community (also quite applicable to anyone accused of any federal crime if
one substitutes another crime for the word hacking). Next time you put down
a hacker in jail and laugh about how they are getting raped while you're on
IRC, remember that someone is probably logging you and if you stay active
it's a good bet your day will come too. You won't be laughing then, and I
hope you'll have paid good attention when you're suddenly in jai l with no
bail granted and every last word you read here turns out to be true. Those
of us who have been there before wish you good luck in advance. Remember
the next time you put them down that ironically it's them you'll have to
turn to for advice shoul d it happen to you. Your lawyer isn't likely to
know a thing about computer crimes and it's the cases of the hackers who
were arrested before you which, like it or not, will provide the legal
precedents for your own conviction.

INTRODUCTION

The likelihood of getting arrested for computer hacking has increased to an
unprecedented level. No matter how precautionary or sage you are, you're
bound to make mistakes. And the fact of the matter is if you have trusted
anyone else with the know ledge of what you are involved in, you have made
your first mistake.

For anyone active in hacking I cannot begin to stress the importance of the
information contained in this file. To those who have just been arrested by
the Feds, reading this file could mean the difference between a three-year
or a one-year sentence. To those who have never been busted, reading this
file will likely change the way you hack, or stop you from hacking altogether.

I realize my previous statements are somewhat lofty, but in the 35 months I
spent incarcerated I've heard countless inmates say it: "If I knew then
what I know now." I doubt that anyone would disagree: The criminal justice
system is a game to be played, both by prosecution and defense. And if you
have to be a player, you would be wise to learn the rules of engagement.
The writer and contributors of this file have learned the hard way. As a
result we turned our hacking skills during the times of our incarceration
towards the study of criminal law and, ultimately, survival. Having filed
our own motions, written our own briefs and endured life in prison, we now
pass this
knowledge back to the hacker community. Learn from our experiences... and
our mistakes.

Agent Steal

   PART I - FEDERAL CRIMINAL LAW

   A. THE BOTTOM LINE - RELEVANT CONDUCT

For those of you with a short G-phile attention span I'm going to cover the
single most important topic first. This is probably the most substantial
misunderstanding of the present criminal justice system. The subject I am
talking about is referred to in legal circles as "relevant conduct." It's a
bit complex and I will get into this. However, I have to make his crystal
clear so that it will stick in your heads. It boils down to two concepts:

   I. ONCE YOU ARE FOUND GUILTY OF EVEN ONE COUNT, EVERY COUNT WILL BE USED
TO CALCULATE YOUR SENTENCE

Regardless of whether you plea bargain to one count or 100, your sentence
will be the same. This is assuming we are talking about hacking, code
abuse, carding, computer trespass, property theft, etc. All of these are
treated the same. Other crimes you committed (but were not charged with)
will also be used to calculate your sentence. You do not have to be proven
guilty of every act. As long as it appears that you were responsible, or
someone says you were, then it can be used against you. I know this sounds
insane , but it's true; it's the preponderance of evidence standard for
relevant conduct. This practice includes using illegally seized evidence
and acquittals as information in increasing the length of your sentence.

   II. YOUR SENTENCE WILL BE BASED ON THE TOTAL MONETARY LOSS

The Feds use a sentencing table to calculate your sentence. It's simple;
More Money = More Time. It doesn't matter if you tried to break in 10 times
or 10,000 times. Each one could be a count but it's the loss that matters.
And an unsuccessful attempt is treated the same as a completed crime. It
also doesn't matter if you tried to break into one company's computer or
10. The government will quite simply add all of the estimated loss figures
up, and then refer to the sentencing table.

   B. PREPARING FOR TRIAL

I've been trying to be overly simplistic with my explanation. The United
States Sentencing Guidelines (U.S.S.G.), are in fact quite complex. So much
so that special law firms are forming that deal only with sentencing. If
you get busted, I would highly recommend hiring one. In some cases it might
be wise to avoid hiring a trial attorney and go straight to one of these
"Post Conviction Specialists." Save your money, plead out, do your time.
This may sound a little harsh, but considering the fact that the U.S.
Attorney's Office has a 95% conviction rate, it may be sage advice.
However, I don't want to gloss over the importance of a ready for trial
posturing. If you have a strong trial attorney, and have a strong case, it
will go a long way towards good plea bargain negotiations.

   C. PLEA AGREEMENTS AND ATTORNEYS

Your attorney can be your worst foe or your finest advocate. Finding the
proper one can be a difficult task. Costs will vary and typically the
attorney asks you how much cash you can raise and then says, "that amount
will be fine". In actuality a simple plea and sentencing should run you
around $15,000. Trial fees can easily soar into the 6 figure category. And
finally, a post conviction specialist will charge $5000 to $15,000 to
handle your sentencing presentation with final arguments.

You may however, find yourself at the mercy of The Public Defenders Office.
Usually they are worthless, occasionally you'll find one that will fight
for you. Essentially it's a crap shoot. All I can say is if you don't like
the one you have, fire them and hope you get appointed a better one. If
you can scrape together $5000 for a sentencing (post conviction) specialist
to work with your public defender I would highly recommend it. This
specialist will make certain the judge sees the whole picture and will
argue in the most effective manner for a light or reasonable sentence. Do
not rely on your public defender to thoroughly present your case. Your
sentencing hearing is going to flash by so fast you'll walk out of the
court room dizzy. You and your defense team need to go into that hearing
fully prepared, having already filed a sentencing memorandum.

The plea agreement you sign is going to affect you and your case well after
you are sentenced. Plea agreements can be tricky business and if you are
not careful or are in a bad defense position (the case against you is
strong), your agreement may get the best of you. There are many issues in a
plea to negotiate over. But essentially my advice would be to avoid signing
away your right to appeal. Once you get to a real prison with real
jailhouse lawyers you will find out how bad you got screwed. That issue
notwithstanding, you are most likely going to want to appeal. This being
the case you need to remember two things: bring all your appealable issues
up at sentencing and file a notice of appeal within 10 days of your
sentencing. Snooze and loose.

I should however, mention that you can appeal some issues even though you
signed away your rights to appeal. For example, you can not sign away your
right to appeal an illegal sentence. If the judge orders something that is
not permissible by statute, you then have a constitutional right to appeal
your sentence.

I will close this subpart with a prison joke. Q: How can you tell when your
attorney is lying? A: You can see his lips moving.

   D. CONSPIRACY

Whatever happened to getting off on a technicality? I'm sorry to say those
days are gone, left only to the movies. The courts generally dismiss many
arguments as "harmless error" or "the government acted in good faith". The
most alarming trend, and surely the root of the prosecutions success, are
the liberally worded conspiracy laws. Quite simply, if two or more people
plan to do something illegal, then one of them does something in
furtherance of the objective (even something legal), then it's a crime.
Yes, it's true. In America it's illegal to simply talk about committing a
crime. Paging Mr. Orwell. Hello?

Here's a hypothetical example to clarify this. Bill G. and Marc A. are
hackers (can you imagine?) Bill and Marc are talking on the phone and
unbeknownst to them the FBI is recording the call. They talk about hacking
into Apple's mainframe and erasing the prototype of the new Apple Web
Browser. Later that day, Marc does some legitimate research to find out
what type of mainframe and operating system Apple uses. The next morning,
the Feds raid Marc's house and seize everything that has wires. Bill and
Marc go to trial and spend millions to defend themselves. They are both
found guilty of conspiracy to commit unauthorized access to a computer system.

   E. SENTENCING

At this point it is up to the probation department to prepare a report for
the court. It is their responsibility to calculate the loss and identify
any aggravating or mitigating circumstances. Apple Computer Corporation
estimates that if Bill and M arc would have been successful it would have
resulted in a loss of $2 million. This is the figure the court will use.
Based on this basic scenario our dynamic duo would receive roughly
three-year sentences.

As I mentioned, sentencing is complex and many factors can decrease or
increase a sentence, usually the latter. Let's say that the FBI also found
a file on Marc's computer with 50,000 unauthorized account numbers and
passwords to The Microsoft Network. Even if the FBI does not charge him
with this, it could be used to increase his sentence. Generally the
government places a $200-per-account attempted loss on things of this
nature (i.e. credit card numbers and passwords = access devices). This
makes for a $10 million loss. Coupled with the $2 million from Apple, Marc
is going away for about nine years. Fortunately there is a Federal Prison
not too far from Redmond, WA so Bill could come visit him.

Some of the other factors to be used in the calculation of a sentence might
include the following: past criminal record, how big your role in the
offense was, mental disabilities, whether or not you were on probation at
the time of the offense, if any weapons were used, if any threats were
used, if your name is Kevin Mitnick (heh), if an elderly person was
victimized, if you took advantage of your employment position, if you are
highly trained and used your special skill, if you cooperated with the
authorities, if you show remorse, if you went to trial, etc.

These are just some of the many factors that could either increase or
decrease a sentence. It would be beyond the scope of this article to cover
the U.S.S.G. in complete detail. I do feel that I have skipped over some
significant issues. Neverthele ss, if you remember my two main points in
addition to how the conspiracy law works, you'll be a long way ahead in
protecting yourself.

   F. USE OF A SPECIAL SKILL

The only specific "sentencing enhancement" I would like to cover would be
one that I am responsible for setting a precedent with. In U.S. v Petersen,
98 F.3d. 502, 9th Cir., the United States Court of Appeals held that some
computer hackers may qualify for the special skill enhancement. What this
generally means is a 6 to 24 month increase in a sentence. In my case it
added eight months to my 33-month sentence bringing it to 41 months.
Essentially the court stated that since I used my "sophisticated" hacking
skills towards a legitimate end as a computer security consultant, then the
enhancement applies. It's ironic that if I were to have remained strictly a
criminal hacker then I would have served less time.

The moral of the story is that the government will find ways to give you as
much time as they want to. The U.S.S.G. came into effect in 1987 in an
attempt to eliminate disparity in sentencing. Defendants with similar
crimes and similar backgrounds would often receive different sentences.
Unfortunately, this practice still continues. The U.S.S.G. are indeed a
failure.

   G. GETTING BAIL

In the past, the Feds might simply have executed their raid and then left
without arresting you. Presently this method will be the exception rather
than the rule and it is more likely that you will be taken into custody at
the time of the raid. Chances are also good that you will not be released
on bail. This is part of the government's plan to break you down and win
their case. If they can find any reason to deny you bail they will. In
order to qualify for bail, you must meet the following criteri a:

   - You must be a resident of the jurisdiction in which you were arrested.

   - You must be gainfully employed or have family ties to the area.

   - You cannot have a history of failure to appear or escape.

   - You cannot be considered a danger or threat to the community.

   In addition, your bail can be denied for the following reasons:

   - Someone came forward and stated to the court that you said you would
flee if released.

   - Your sentence will be long if convicted.

   - You have a prior criminal history.

   - You have pending charges in another jurisdiction.

What results from all this "bail reform" is that only about 20% of persons
arrested make bail. On top of that it takes 1-3 weeks to process your bail
papers when property is involved in securing your bond.

Now you're in jail, more specifically you are either in an administrative
holding facility or a county jail that has a contract with the Feds to hold
their prisoners. Pray that you are in a large enough city to justify its
own Federal Detention Center. County jails are typically the last place you
would want to be.

   H. STATE VS. FEDERAL CHARGES

In some cases you will be facing state charges with the possibility of the
Feds "picking them up." You may even be able to nudge the Feds into
indicting you. This is a tough decision. With the state you will do
considerably less time, but will face a tougher crowd and conditions in
prison. Granted Federal Prisons can be violent too, but generally as a
non-violent white collar criminal you will eventually be placed into an
environment with other low security inmates. More on this later.

Until you are sentenced, you will remain as a "pretrial inmate" in general
population with other inmates. Some of the other inmates will be
predatorial but the Feds do not tolerate much nonsense. If someone acts up,
they'll get thrown in the hole. If they continue to pose a threat to the
inmate population, they will be left in segregation (the hole).
Occasionally inmates that are at risk or that have been threatened will be
placed in segregation. This isn't really to protect the inmate. It is to pr
otect the prison from a lawsuit should the inmate get injured.

   I. COOPERATING

Naturally when you are first arrested the suits will want to talk to you.
First at your residence and, if you appear to be talkative, they will take
you back to their offices for an extended chat and a cup of coffee. My
advice at this point is tried and true and we've all heard it before:
remain silent and ask to speak with an attorney. Regardless of what the
situation is, or how you plan to proceed, there is nothing you can say that
will help you. Nothing. Even if you know that you are going to cooperate,
this is not the time.

This is obviously a controversial subject, but the fact of the matter is
roughly 80% of all defendants eventually confess and implicate others. This
trend stems from the extremely long sentences the Feds are handing out
these days. Not many people want to do 10 to 20 years to save their
buddies' hides when they could be doing 3 to 5. This is a decision each
individual needs to make. My only advice would be to save your close
friends and family. Anyone else is fair game. In the prison system the
blacks have a saying "Getting down first." It's no secret that the first
defendant in a conspiracy is usually going to get the best deal. I've even
seen situations where the big fish turned in all his little fish and
eceived 40% off his sentence.

Incidently, being debriefed or interrogated by the Feds can be an ordeal in
itself. I would -highly- reccommend reading up on interrogation techniques
ahead of time. Once you know their methods it will be all quite transparent
to you and the debriefing goes much more smoothly.

When you make a deal with the government you're making a deal with the
devil himself. If you make any mistakes they will renege on the deal and
you'll get nothing. On some occasions the government will trick you into
thinking they want you to cooperate when they are not really interested in
anything you have to say. They just want you to plead guilty. When you sign
the cooperation agreement there are no set promises as to how much of a
sentence reduction you will receive. That is to be decided after your
testimony, etc. and at the time of sentencing. It's entirely up to the
judge. However, the prosecution makes the recommendation and the judge
generally goes along with it. In fact, if the prosecution does not motion
the court for your "downward departure" the courts' hands are tied and you
get no break.

As you can see, cooperating is a tricky business. Most people, particularly
those who have never spent a day in jail, will tell you not to cooperate.
"Don't snitch." This is a noble stance to take. However, in some situations
it is just plain stupid. Saving someone's ass who would easily do the same
to you is a tough call. It's something that needs careful consideration.
Like I said, save your friends then do what you have to do to get out of
prison and on with your life.

I'm happy to say that I was able to avoid involving my good friends and a
former employer in the massive investigation that surrounded my case. It
wasn't easy. I had to walk a fine line. Many of you probably know that I
(Agent Steal) went to work for the FBI after I was arrested. I was
responsible for teaching several agents about hacking and the culture. What
many of you don't know is that I had close FBI ties prior to my arrest. I
was involved in hacking for over 15 years and had worked as a comp uter
security consultant. That is why I was given that opportunity. It is
unlikely however, that we will see many more of these types of arrangements
in the future. Our relationship ran afoul, mostly due to their passive
negligence and lack of experience in dealing with hackers. The government
in general now has their own resources, experience, and undercover agents
within the community. They no longer need hackers to show them the ropes or
the latest security hole.

Nevertheless, if you are in the position to tell the Feds something they
don't know and help them build a case against someone, you may qualify for
a sentence reduction. The typical range is 20% to 70%. Usually it's around
35% to 50%.
Sometimes you may find yourself at the end of the prosecutorial food chain
and the government will not let you cooperate. Kevin Mitnick would be a
good example of this. Even if he wanted to roll over, I doubt it would get
him much. He's just too big of a fish, too much media. My final advice in
this matter is get the deal in writing before you start cooperating.

The Feds also like it when you "come clean" and accept responsibility.
There is a provision in the Sentencing Guidelines, 3E1.1, that knocks a
little bit of time off if you confess to your crime, plead guilty and show
remorse. If you go to trial, typically you will not qualify for this
"acceptance of responsibility" and your sentence will be longer.

   J. STILL THINKING ABOUT TRIAL

Many hackers may remember the Craig Neidorf case over the famous 911 System
Operation documents. Craig won his case when it was discovered that the
manual in question, that he had published in Phrack magazine, was not
proprietary as claimed but available publicly from AT&T. It was an egg in
the face day for the Secret Service.

Don't be misled by this. The government learned a lot from this fiasco and
even with the laudable support from the EFF, Craig narrowly thwarted off a
conviction. Regardless, it was a trying experience (no pun intended) for
him and his attorneys. Th e point I'm trying to make is that it's tough to
beat the Feds. They play dirty and will do just about anything, including
lie, to win their case. If you want to really win you need to know how they
build a case in the first place.

   K. SEARCH AND SEIZURE

There is a document entitled "Federal Guidelines For Searching And Seizing
Computers." It first came to my attention when it was published in the
12-21-94 edition of the Criminal Law Reporter by the Bureau of National
Affairs (Cite as 56 CRL 2023 ) . It's an intriguing collection of tips,
cases, mistakes and, in general, how to bust computer hackers. It's
recommended reading.

Search and seizure is an ever evolving jurisprudence. What's not
permissible today may, through some convoluted Supreme Court logic, be
permissible and legal tomorrow. Again, a complete treatment of this subject
is beyond the scope of this paper. But suffice it to say if a Federal agent
wants to walk right into your bedroom and seize all of your computer
equipment without a warrant he could do it by simply saying he had probable
cause (PC). PC is anything that gives him an inkling to believe you we re
committing a crime. Police have been known to find PC to search a car when
the trunk sat too low to the ground or the high beams were always on.

   L. SURVEILLANCE AND WIRETAPS

Fortunately the Feds still have to show a little restraint when wielding
their wiretaps. It requires a court order and they have to show that there
is no other way to obtain the information they seek, a last resort if you
will. Wiretaps are also expensive to operate. They have to lease lines from
the phone company, pay agents to monitor it 24 hours a day and then
transcribe it. If we are talking about a data tap, there are additional
costs. Expensive interception/translation equipment must be in place to
negotiate the various modem speeds. Then the data has to be stored,
deciphered, decompressed, formatted, protocoled, etc. It's a daunting task
and usually reserved for only the highest profile cases. If the Feds can
seize the data from any other so urce, like the service provider or victim,
they will take that route. I don't know what they hate worse though, asking
for outside help or wasting valuable internal resources.

The simplest method is to enlist the help of an informant who will testify
"I saw him do it!," then obtain a search warrant to seize the evidence on
your computer. Ba da boom, ba da busted.

Other devices include a pen register which is a device that logs every
digit you dial on your phone and the length of the calls, both incoming and
outgoing. The phone companies keep racks of them at their security
departments. They can place one on your line within a day if they feel you
are defrauding them. They don't need a court order, but the Feds do.

A trap, or trap and trace, is typically any method the phone company uses
to log every number that calls a particular number. This can be done on the
switching system level or via a billing database search. The Feds need a
court order for this information too. However, I've heard stories of
cooperative telco security investigations passing the information along to
an agent. Naturally that would be a "harmless error while acting in good
faith." (legal humor)

I'd love to tell you more about FBI wiretaps but this is as far as I can go
without pissing them off. Everything I've told you thus far is public
knowledge. So I think I'll stop here. If you really want to know more,
catch Kevin Poulsen (Dark Dante ) at a cocktail party, buy him a Coke and
he'll give you an earful. (hacker humor)

In closing this subpart I will say that most electronic surveillance is
backed up with at least part-time physical surveillance. The Feds are often
good at following people around. They like late model mid-sized American
cars, very stock, with no decals or bumper stickers. If you really want to
know if you're under surveillance, buy an Opto-electronics Scout or Xplorer
frequency counter. Hide it on your person, stick an ear plug in your ear
(for the Xplorer) and take it everywhere you go. If you he ar people
talking about you, or you continue to hear intermittent static (encrypted
speech), you probably have a problem.

   M. YOUR PRESENTENCE INVESTIGATION REPORT, PSI OR PSR

After you plead guilty you will be dragged from the quiet and comfort of
your prison cell to meet with a probation officer. This has absolutely
nothing to do with getting probation. Quite the contrary. The P.O. is
empowered by the court to prepare a complete and, in theory, unbiased
profile of the defendant. Everything from education, criminal history,
psychological behavior, offense characteristics plus more will be included
in this voluminous and painfully detailed report about your life. Every
little dirty scrap of information that makes you look like a sociopathic,
demon worshiping, loathsome criminal will be included in this report.
They'll put a few negative things in there as well.

My advice is simple. Be careful what you tell them. Have your attorney
present and think about how what you say can be used against you. Here's an
example:

P.O.: Tell me about your education and what you like to do in your spare time.

Mr. Steal: I am preparing to enroll in my final year of college. In my
spare time I work for charity helping orphan children.

The PSR then reads "Mr. Steal has never completed his education and hangs
around with little children in his spare time."

Get the picture?

   J. PROCEEDING PRO SE

Pro Se or Pro Per is when a defendant represents himself. A famous lawyer
once said "a man that represents himself has a fool for a client." Truer
words were never spoken. However, I can't stress how important it is to
fully understand the criminal justice system. Even if you have a great
attorney it's good to be able to keep an eye on him or even help out. An
educated client's help can be of enormous benefit to an attorney. They may
think you're a pain in the ass but it's your life. Take a hold of it.
Regardless, representing yourself is generally a mistake.

However, after your appeal, when your court appointed attorney runs out on
you, or you have run out of funds, you will be forced to handle matters
yourself. At this point there are legal avenues, although quite bleak, for
post-conviction
relief.

But I digress. The best place to start in understanding the legal system
lies in three inexpensive books. First the Federal Sentencing Guidelines
($14.00) and Federal Criminal Codes and Rules ($20.00) are available from
West Publishing at 800-328-9 352. I consider possession of these books to
be mandatory for any pretrial inmate. Second would be the Georgetown Law
Journal, available from Georgetown University Bookstore in Washington, DC.
The book sells for around $40.00 but if you write them a letter and tell
them you're a Pro Se litigant they will send it for free. And last but not
least the definitive Pro Se authority, "The Prisoners Self Help Litigation
Manual"
$29.95 ISBN 0-379-20831-8. Or try http://www.oceanalaw.com/books/n148.htm

   O. EVIDENTIARY HEARING

If you disagree with some of the information presented in the presentence
report (PSR) you may be entitled to a special hearing. This can be
instrumental in lowering your sentence or correcting your PSR. One
important thing to know is that your PSR will follow you the whole time you
are incarcerated. The Bureau of Prisons uses the PSR to decide how to
handle you. This can affect your security level, your halfway house, your
eligibility for the drug program (which gives you a year off your sentence)
,and your medical care. So make sure your PSR is accurate before you get
sentenced!

   P. GETTING YOUR PROPERTY BACK

In most cases it will be necessary to formally ask the court to have your
property returned. They are not going to just call you up and say "Do you
want this Sparc Station back or what?" No, they would just as soon keep it
and not asking for it is as good as telling them they can have it.

You will need to file a 41(e) "Motion For Return Of Property." The courts'
authority to keep your stuff is not always clear and will have to be taken
on a case-by-case basis. They may not care and the judge will simply order
that it be returned.

If you don't know how to write a motion, just send a formal letter to the
judge asking for it back. Tell him you need it for your job. This should
suffice, but there may be a filing fee.

   Q. OUTSTANDING WARRANTS

If you have an outstanding warrant or charges pending in another
jurisdiction you would be wise to deal with them as soon as possible
-after- you are sentenced. If you follow the correct procedure chances are
good the warrants will be dropped (quashed). In the worst case scenario,
you will be transported to the appropriate jurisdiction, plead guilty and
have your "time run concurrent." Typically in non-violent crimes you can
serve several sentences all at the same time. Many Federal inmates have
their state time run with their Federal time. In a nutshell: concurrent is
good, consecutive bad.

This procedure is referred to as the Interstate Agreement On Detainers Act
(IADA). You may also file a "demand for speedy trial", with the appropriate
court. This starts the meter running. If they don't extradite you within a
certain period of time , the charges will have to be dropped. The "Inmates'
Self-Help Litigation Manual" that I mentioned earlier covers this topic
quite well.

   R. ENCRYPTION

There are probably a few of you out there saying, "I triple DES encrypt my
hard drive and 128 character RSA public key it for safety." Well, that's
just great, but... the Feds can have a grand jury subpoena your passwords
and if you don't give them up you may be charged with obstruction of
justice. Of course who's to say otherwise if you forgot your password in
all the excitement of getting arrested. I think I heard this once or twice
before in a Senate Sub-committee hearing. "Senator, I have no recollection
of the aforementioned events at this time." But seriously, strong
encryption is great. However, it would be foolish to rely on it. If the
Feds have your computer and access to your encryption software itself, it
is likely they could break it gi ven the motivation. If you understand the
true art of code breaking you should understand this. People often overlook
the fact that your password, the one you use to access your encryption
program, is typically less than 8 characters long. By attacking the access
to your encryption program with a keyboard emulation sequencer your triple
DES/128 bit RSA crypto is worthless. Just remember, encryption may not
protect you.

   S. LEGAL SUMMARY

Before I move on to the Life in Prison subpart, let me tell you what this
all means. You're going to get busted, lose everything you own, not get out
on bail, snitch on your enemies, get even more time than you expected and
have to put up with a bu nch of idiots in prison. Sound fun? Keep hacking.
And, if possible, work on those sensitive .gov sites. That way they can
hang an espionage rap on you. That will carry about 12 to 18 years for a
first time offender.

I know this may all sound a bit bleak, but the stakes for hackers have gone
up and you need to know what they are. Let's take a look at some recent
sentences:

   Agent Steal (me) 41 months

   Kevin Poulsen 51 months

   Minor Threat 70 months

   Kevin Mitnick estimated 7-9 years

As you can see, the Feds are giving out some time now. If you are young, a
first-time offender, unsophisticated (like MOD), and were just looking
around in some little company's database, you might get probation. But
chances are that if that is all you were doing, you would have been passed
over for prosecution. As a rule, the Feds won't take the case unless
$10,000 in damages are involved. The problem is who is to say what the loss
is? The company can say whatever figure it likes and it would be t ough to
prove otherwise. They may decide to, for insurance purposes, blame some
huge downtime expense on you. I can hear it now, "When we detected the
intruder, we promptly took our system off-line. It took us two weeks to
bring it up again for a loss in wasted manpower of $2 million." In some

ases you might be better off just using the company's payroll system to
cut you a couple of $10,000 checks. That way the government has a firm loss
figure. This would result in a much shorter sentence. I'm not advocating
blatant criminal actions. I just think the sentencing guidelines definitely
need some work.

   PART II - FEDERAL PRISON

   A. STATE v. FEDERAL

In most cases I would say that doing time in a Federal Prison is better
than doing time in the state institutions. Some state prisons are such
violent and pathetic places that it's worth doing a little more time in the
Federal system. This is going to be changing however. The public seems to
think that prisons are too comfortable and as a result Congress has passed
a few bills to toughen things up.

Federal prisons are generally going to be somewhat less crowded, cleaner,
and more laid back. The prison I was at looked a lot like a college campus
with plenty of grass and trees, rolling hills, and stucco buildings. I
spent most of my time in the library hanging out with Minor Threat. We
would argue over who was more elite. "My sentence was longer," he would
argue. "I was in more books and newspapers," I would rebut. (humor)

Exceptions to the Fed is better rule would be states that permit
televisions and word processors in your cell. As I sit here just prior to
release scribbling this article with pen and paper I yearn for even a Smith
Corona with one line display. The states have varying privileges. You could
wind up someplace where everything gets stolen from you. There are also
states that are abolishing parole, thus taking away the ability to get out
early with good behavior. That is what the Feds did.

   B. SECURITY LEVELS

The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) has six security levels. Prisons are assigned a
security level and only prisoners with the appropriate ratings are housed
there. Often the BOP will have two or three facilities at one location.
Still, they are essentially separate prisons, divided by fences.

The lowest level facility is called a minimum, a camp, or FPC. Generally
speaking, you will find first time, non-violent offenders with less than 10
year sentences there. Camps have no fences. Your work assignment at a camp
is usually off the prison grounds at a nearby military base. Other times
camps operate as support for other nearby prisons.

The next level up is a low Federal Correctional Institution (FCI). These
are where you find a lot of people who should be in a camp but for some
technical reason didn't qualify. There is a double fence with razor wire
surrounding it. Again you will find mostly non-violent types here. You
would really have to piss someone off before they would take a swing at you.

Moving up again we get to medium and high FCI's which are often combined.
More razor wire, more guards, restricted movement and a rougher crowd. It's
also common to find people with 20 or 30+ year sentences. Fighting is much
more common. Keep to yourself, however, and people generally leave you
alone. Killings are not too terribly common. With a prison population of
1500-2000, about one or two a year leave on a stretcher and don't come back.

The United States Penatentury (U.S.P.) is where you find the murderers,
rapists, spies and the roughest gang bangers. "Leavenworth" and "Atlanta"
are the most infamous of these joints. Traditionally surrounded by a 40
foot brick wall, they take on an ominous appearance. The murder rate per
prison averages about 30 per year with well over 250 stabbings.

The highest security level in the system is Max, sometimes referred to as
"Supermax." Max custody inmates are locked down all the time. Your mail is
shown to you over a TV screen in your cell. The shower is on wheels and it
comes to your door. You rarely see other humans and if you do leave your
cell you will be handcuffed and have at least a three guard escort. Mr.
Gotti, the Mafia boss, remains in Supermax. So does Aldridge Ames, the spy.

   C. GETTING DESIGNATED

Once you are sentenced, the BOP has to figure out what they want to do with
you. There is a manual called the "Custody and Classification Manual" that
they are supposed to follow. It is publicly available through the Freedom
of Information Act and it is also in most prison law libraries.
Unfortunately, it can be interpreted a number of different ways. As a
result, most prison officials responsible for classifying you do pretty
much as they please.

Your first classification is done by the Region Designator at BOP Regional
Headquarters. As a computer hacker you will most likely be placed in a camp
or a low FCI. This is assuming you weren't pulling bank jobs on the side.
-IF- you do wind up in an FCI, you should make it to a camp after six
months. This is assuming you behave yourself.

Another thing the Region Designator will do is to place a "Computer No" on
your file. This means you will not be allowed to operate a computer at your
prison work assignment. In my case I wasn't allowed to be within 10 feet of
one. It was explained to me that they didn't even want me to know the types
of software they were running. Incidentally, the BOP uses PC/Server based
LANs with NetWare 4.1 running on Fiber 10baseT Ethernet connections to
Cabletron switches and hubs. PC based gateways reside a t every prison. The
connection to the IBM mainframe (Sentry) is done through leased lines via
Sprintnet's Frame Relay service with 3270 emulation software/hardware
resident on the local servers. Sentry resides in Washington, D.C. with SNA
type network con centrators at the regional offices. ;-) And I picked all
of this up without even trying to. Needless to say, BOP computer security
is very lax. Many of their publicly available "Program Statements" contain
specific information on how to use Sentry and wha t it's designed to do.
They have other networks as well, but this is not a tutorial on how to hack
the BOP. I'll save that for if they ever really piss me off. (humor)

Not surprisingly, the BOP is very paranoid about computer hackers. I went
out of my way not to be interested in their systems or to receive computer
security related mail. Nevertheless, they tried restricting my mail on
numerous occasions. After I filed numerous grievances and had a meeting
with the warden, they decided I was probably going to behave myself. My 20
or so magazine subscriptions were permitted to come in, after a special
screening. Despite all of that I still had occasional problems, usually
when I received something esoteric in nature. It's my understanding,
however, that many hackers at other prisons have not been as fortunate as I
was.

   D. IGNORANT INMATES

You will meet some of the stupidest people on the planet in prison. I
suppose that is why they are there, too dumb to do anything except crime.
And for some strange reason these uneducated low class common thieves think
they deserve your respect. In fact they will often demand it. These are the
same people that condemn everyone who cooperated, while at the same time
feel it is fine to break into your house or rob a store at gunpoint. These
are the types of inmates you will be incarcerated with, an d occasionally
these inmates will try to get over on you. They will do this for no reason
other than the fact you are an easy mark.

There are a few tricks hackers can do to protect themselves in prison. The
key to your success is acting before the problem escalates. It is also
important to have someone outside (preferably another hacker) that can do
some social engineering for you. The objective is simply to have your
problem inmate moved to another institution. I don't want to give away my
methods but if staff believes that an inmate is going to cause trouble, or
if they believe his life is in danger, they will move him or loc k him away
in segregation. Social engineered letters (official looking) or phone calls
from the right source to the right department will often evoke brisk
action. It's also quite simple to make an inmates life quite miserable. If
the BOP has reason to be lieve that an inmate is an escape risk, a suicide
threat, or had pending charges, they will handle them much differently.
Tacking these labels on an inmate would be a real nasty trick. I have a
saying: "Hackers usually have the last word in arguments." In deed.

Chances are you won't have many troubles in prison. This especially applies
if you go to a camp, mind your own business, and watch your mouth.
Nevertheless, I've covered all of this in the event you find yourself
caught up in the ignorant behavior of inmates whose lives revolve around
prison. And one last piece of advice, don't make threats, truly stupid
people are too stupid to fear anything, particularly an intelligent man.
Just do it.

   E. POPULATION

The distribution of blacks, whites and Hispanics varies from institution to
institution. Overall it works out to roughly 30% white, 30% Hispanic and
30% black. The remaining 10% are various other races. Some joints have a
high percent of blacks and vice versa. I'm not necessarily a prejudiced
person, but prisons where blacks are in majority are a nightmare. Acting
loud, disrespectful, and trying to run the place is par for the course.

In terms of crimes, 60% of the Federal inmate population are incarcerated
for drug related crimes. The next most common would be bank robbery
(usually for quick drug money), then various white collar crimes. The
Federal prison population has changed over the years. It used to be a place
for the criminal elite. The tough drug laws have changed all of that.

Just to quell the rumors, I'm going to cover the topic of prison rape.
Quite simply, in medium and low security level Federal prisons it is
unheard of. In the highs it rarely happens. When it does happen, one could
argue that the victim was asking for it. I heard an inmate say once, "You
can't make no inmate suck cock that don't wanta." Indeed. In my 41 months
of incarceration, I never felt in any danger. I would occasionally have
inmates that would subtly ask me questions to see where my preferences lie,
but once I made it clear that I didn't swing that way I would be left
alone. Hell, I got hit on more often when I was hanging out in Hollywood!

On the other hand, state prisons can be a hostile environment for rape and
fighting in general. Many of us heard how Bernie S. got beat up over use of
the phone. Indeed, I had to get busy a couple of times. Most prison
arguments occur over three simple things: the phone, the TV and
money/drugs. If you want to stay out of trouble in a state prison, or
Federal for that matter, don't use the phone too long, don't change the
channel and don't get involved in gambling or drugs. As far as rape goes,
pick your friends carefully and stick with them. And always, always, be
respectful. Even if the guy is a fucking idiot (and most inmates are), say
excuse me.

My final piece of prison etiquette advice would be to never take your
inmate problems to "the man" (prison staff). Despite the fact that most
everyone in prison snitched on their co-defendants at trial, there is no
excuse for being a prison rat. Th e rules are set by the prisoners
themselves. If someone steps out of line there will likely be another
inmate who will be happy to knock him back. In some prisons inmates are so
afraid of being labeled a rat that they refuse to be seen talking alone
with a prison staff member. I should close this paragraph by stating that
this bit of etiquette is routinely ignored as other inmates will snitch on
you for any reason whatsoever. Prison is a strange environment.

   F. DOING TIME

You can make what you want to out of prison. Some people sit around and do
dope all day. Others immerse themselves in a routine of work and exercise.
I studied technology and music. Regardless, prisons are no longer a place
of rehabilitation. They serve only to punish and conditions are only going
to worsen. The effect is that angry, uneducated, and unproductive inmates
are being released back into society.

While I was incarcerated in 95/96, the prison band program was still in
operation. I played drums for two different prison bands. It really helped
pass the time and when I get out I will continue with my career in music.
Now the program has been canceled, all because some senator wanted to be
seen as being tough on crime. Bills were passed in Congress. The cable TV
is gone, pornography mags are no longer permitted, and the weight piles are
being removed. All this means is that prisoners will have m ore spare time
on their hands, and so more guards will have to be hired to watch the
prisoners. I don't want to get started on this subject. Essentially what
I'm saying is make something out of your time. Study, get into a routine
and before you know
you 'll be going home, and a better person on top of it.

   G. DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS

What fun is it if you go to prison and don't get into some mischief? Well,
I'm happy to say the only "shots" (violations) I ever received were for
having a friend place a call with his three-way calling for me (you can't
call everyone collect), and drinking homemade wine. |-) The prison
occasionally monitors your phone calls and on the seven or eight hundredth
time I made a three-way I got caught. My punishment was ten hours of extra
duty (cleaning up). Other punishments for shots include loss of phone use,
loss of commissary, loss of visits, and getting thrown in the hole. Shots
can also increase your security level and can get you transferred to a
higher level institution. If you find yourself having trouble in this area
you may want to pick up t he book, "How to win prison disciplinary
hearings", by Alan Parmelee, 206-328-2875.

   H. ADMINISTRATIVE REMEDY

If you have a disagreement with the way staff is handling your case (and
you will) or another complaint, there is an administrative remedy
procedure. First you must try to resolve it informally. Then you can file a
form BP-9. The BP-9 goes to the warden. After that you can file a BP-10
which goes to the region. Finally, a BP-11 goes to the National BOP
Headquarters (Central Office). The whole procedure is a joke and takes
about six months to complete. Delay and conquer is the BOP motto. After you
c omplete the remedy process to no avail, you may file your action in a
civil court. In some extreme cases you may take your case directly to the
courts without exhausting the remedy process. Again, the "Prisoners
Self-Help Litigation Manual" covers this qu ite well.

My best advice with this remedy nonsense is to keep your request brief,
clear, concise and only ask for one specific thing per form. Usually if you
"got it coming" you will get it. If you don't, or if the BOP can find any
reason to deny your request, they will.

For this reason I often took my problems outside the prison from the start.
If it was a substantial enough issue I would inform the media, the director
of the BOP, all three of my attorneys, my judge and the ACLU. Often this
worked. It always pisse d them off. But, alas I'm a man of principle and if
you deprive me of my rights I'm going to raise hell. In the past I might
have resorted to hacker tactics, like disrupting the BOP's entire
communication system bringing it crashing down! But...I'm rehabilitated
now. Incidently, most BOP officials and inmates have no concept of the kind
of havoc a hacker can wield on an individuals life. So until some hacker
shows the BOP which end is up you will have to accept the fact most
everyone you meet in prison will have only nominal respect for you. Deal
with it, you're not in cyberspace anymore.

   I. PRISON OFFICIALS

There are two types, dumb and dumber. I've had respect for several but I've
never met one that impressed me as being particularly talented in a way
other than following orders. Typically you will find staff that are either
just doing their job, or staff that is determined to advance their career.
The latter take their jobs and themselves way too seriously. They don't get
anywhere by being nice to inmates so they are often quite curt. Ex-military
and law enforcement wannabes are commonplace. All in all they're a pain in
the ass but easy to deal with. Anyone who has ever been down (incarcerated)
for awhile knows it's best to keep a low profile. If they don't know you by
name you're in good shape.

One of the problems that computer hackers will encounter with prison staff
is fear and/or resentment. If you are a pretentious articulate educated
white boy like myself you would be wise to act a little stupid. These
people don't want to respect yo u and some of them will hate everything
that you stand for. Many dislike all inmates to begin with. And the concept
of you someday having a great job and being successful bothers them. It's
all a rather bizarre environment where everyone seems to hate the ir jobs.
I guess I've led a sheltered life.

Before I move on, sometimes there will be certain staff members, like your
Case Manager, that will have a substantial amount of control over your
situation. The best way to deal with the person is to stay out of their
way. Be polite, don't file grievances against them and hope that they will
take care of you when it comes time. If this doesn't seem to work, then you
need to be a total pain in the ass and ride them with every possible
request you can muster. It's especially helpful if you have outsi de people
willing to make calls. Strong media attention will usually, at the very
least, make the prison do what they are supposed to do. If you have
received a lot of bad press, this could be a disadvantage. If you care
continues to be a problem, the pr ison will transfer you to another
facility where you are more likely to get a break. All in all how you
choose to deal with staff is often a difficult decision. My advice is that
unless you are really getting screwed over or really hate the prison you
are in, don't rock the boat.

   J. THE HOLE

Segregation sucks, but chances are you will find yourself there at some
point and usually for the most ridiculous of reasons. Sometimes you will
wind up there because of what someone else did. The hole is a 6' x 10'
concrete room with a steel bed and steel toilet. Your privileges will vary,
but at first you get nothing but a shower every couple of days. Naturally
they feed you but, it's never enough, and it's often cold. With no snacks
you often find yourself quite hungry in-between meals. There is nothing to
do there except read and hopefully some guard has been kind enough to throw
you some old novel.

Disciplinary actions will land you in the hole for typically a week or two.
In some cases you might get stuck there for a month or three. It depends on
the shot and on the Lieutenant that sent you there. Sometimes people never
leave the hole....

   K. GOOD TIME

You get 54 days per year off of your sentence for good behavior. If anyone
tells you that a bill is going to be passed to give 108 days, they are
lying. 54 days a year works out to 15% and you have to do something
significant to justify getting that taken away. The BOP has come up with
the most complicated and ridiculous way to calculate how much good time you
have earned. They have
a book about three inches thick that discusses how to calculate your exact
release date. I studied the book intensely and came to the conclusion that
the only purpose it serves is to covertly steal a few days of good time
from you. Go figure.

   L. HALFWAY HOUSE

All "eligible" inmates are to serve the last 10% of their sentence (not to
exceed six months) in a Community Corrections Center (CCC). At the CCC,
which is nothing more than a large house in a bad part of town, you are to
find a job in the communit y and spend your evenings and nights at the CCC.
You have to give 25% of the gross amount of your check to the CCC to pay
for all of your expenses, unless you are a rare Federal prisoner sentenced
to serve all of your time at the CCC in which case it is 1 0%. They will
breathalyse and urinanalyse you routinely to make sure you are not having
too much fun. If you're a good little hacker you'll get a weekend pass so
you can stay out all night. Most CCCs will transfer you to home confinement
status after a few weeks. This means you can move into your own place, (if
they approve it) but still have to be in for the evenings. They check up on
you by phone. And no, you are not allowed call forwarding, silly rabbit.

   M. SUPERVISED RELEASE

Just when you think the fun is all over, after you are released from prison
or the CCC, you will be required to report to a Probation Officer. For the
next 3 to 5 years you will be on Supervised Release. The government
abolished parole, thereby preventing convicts from getting out of prison
early. Despite this they still want to keep tabs on you for awhile.

Supervised Release, in my opinion, is nothing more than extended
punishment. You are a not a free man able to travel and work as you please.
All of your activities will have to be presented to your Probation Officer
(P.O.). And probation is essentially what Supervised Release is. Your P.O.
can violate you for any technical violations and send you back to prison
for several months, or over a year. If you have ANY history of drug use you
will be required to submit to random (weekly) urinalyses. If you come up
dirty it's back to the joint.

As a hacker you may find that your access to work with, or possession of
computer equipment may be restricted. While this may sound pragmatic to the
public, in practice it serves no other purpose that to punish and limit a
former hacker's ability t o support himself. With computers at libraries,
copy shops, schools, and virtually everywhere, it's much like restricting
someone who used a car to get to and from a bank robbery to not ever drive
again. If a hacker is predisposed to hacking he's going to be able to do it
with or without restrictions. In reality many hackers don't even need a
computer to achieve their goals. As you probably know a phone and a little
social engineering go a long way.

But with any luck you will be assigned a reasonable P.O. and you will stay
out of trouble. If you give your P.O. no cause to keep an eye on you, you
may find the reins loosening up. You may also be able to have your
Supervised Release terminated ea rly by the court. After a year or so, with
good cause, and all of your government debts paid, it might be plausible.
Hire an attorney, file a motion.

For many convicts Supervised Release is simply too much like being in
prison. For those it is best to violate, go back to prison for a few
months, and hope the judge terminates their Supervised Release. Although
the judge may continue your supervis ion, he/she typically will not.

   N. SUMMARY

What a long strange trip it's been. I have a great deal of mixed emotions
about my whole ordeal. I can however, say that I HAVE benefitted from my
incarceration. However, it certainly was not on the behalf of how I was
handled by the government. No , despite their efforts to kick me when I was
down, use me, turn their backs after I had assisted them, and in general,
just violate my rights, I was still able to emerge better educated than
when I went in. But frankly, my release from prison was just in the nick of
time. The long term effects of incarceration and stress were creeping up on
me, and I could see prison conditions were worsening. It's hard to express
the poignancy of the situation but the majority of those incarcerated feel
that if drastic changes are not made America is due for some serious
turmoil, perhaps even a civil war.
Yes, the criminal justice system is that screwed up. The Nation's thirst
for vengeance on criminals is leading us into a vicious feedback loop of
crime and punishment, and once again crime. Quite simply, the system is not
working. My purpose in writing this article was not to send any kind of
message. I'm not telling you how not to get caught and I'm not telling you
to stop hacking. I wrote this simply because I feel l ike I owe it to
whomever might get use of it. For some strange reason I am oddly compelled
to tell you what happened to me. Perhaps this is some kind or therapy,
perhaps it's just my ego, perhaps I just want to help some poor 18-year-old
hacker who really doesn't know what he is getting himself in to. Whatever
the reason, I just sat down one day and started writing.

If there is a central theme to this article it would be how ugly your world
can become. Once you get grabbed by the law, sucked into their vacuum, and
they shine the spotlight on you, there will be little you can do to protect
yourself. The vultures and predators will try to pick what they can off of
you. It's open season for the U.S. Attorneys, your attorney, other inmates,
and prison officials. You become fair game. Defending yourself from all of
these forces will require all of your wits, all of your resources, and
occasionally your fists.

Furthering the humiliation, the press, as a general rule, will not be
concerned with presenting the truth. They will print what suits them and
often omit many relevant facts. If you have read any of the 5 books I am
covered in you will no doubt have a rather jaded opinion of me. Let me
assure you that if you met me today you would quickly see that I am quite
likable and not the villain many (especially Jon Littman) have made me out
to be. You may not agree with how I lived my life, but you wouldn't have
any trouble understanding why I chose to live it that way. Granted I've
made my mistakes, growing up has been a long road for me. Nevertheless, I
have no shortage of good friends. Friends that I am immensely loyal to. But
if you believe everything y ou read you'd have the impression that Mitnick
is a vindictive loser, Poulsen a furtive stalker, and I a two faced rat.
All of those assessments would be incorrect.

So much for first impressions. I just hope I was able to enlighten you and
in some way to help you make the right choice. Whether it's protecting
yourself from what could be a traumatic life altering experience, or
compelling you to focus your computer skills on other avenues, it's
important for you to know the program, the language, and the rules.

See you in the movies

Beginner's Guide To MySQL and PHP

noreply@blogger.com (Lahiru Dilranga Silva) — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 14:34:00 +0000

We've assembled a series of thoughts and examples based upon my own experience using Php 3.0 and MySql. Our goal is that it will aid any beginners in jumping over the common obstacles that hinder progress at the earliest stages of Php/MySql implementation. Connecting to the database.
Connecting to the database involves the calling of MySql commands via Php, which are embedded in an "HTML" page. However, instead of having the *.html extension (ex. Mywebpage.html), the php pages would end in the extension *.php3 for Php3.0, or in the extension *.phtml, if you are using Php/FI 2.0. (Note: For the remaining part of this document, the standards for Php 3.0 will be used.) Before we begin to call commands, however, it is assumed that MySQL and Php have been installed and configured on the server. (If this has not been done, it would be wise to first install the latest versions, or ask your provider if MySQL and Php are available on the server.)
An simple example of the connection process would be:
<?
# declare some variables
$site = io.incluso.com;
$username = mannymoejack;
$password = doodad;
$dbName = incluso;
# end variable declaration
mysql_connect($site, $username, $password);
?>
That's it! You are now connected to the MySql database. Remember that the MySQL database password is usually not the same as the account password. It is also possible that your MySQL database doesn't even have a password. It is strongly suggested that password protection is placed on the database. Without it, it could be fairly (very) easy for someone to enter it by simply executing basic Php commands.
Now What?
You will probably want to execute commands on the database once the connection has been made. Let's look at a couple of examples:

Let's use this as the example MySQL table: Create table rocketships ( model VARCHAR (25), year DATE, seating INT, color VARCHAR (10) );

Insertion of Data

Before inserting data into the rocketships table, the table must first be created within the MySQL database. If you are unfamiliar with the necessary steps, consult Section 7.6 of the MySQL documentation.

Let's add a new rocket to the table: (commands would be inserted where one sees the above "#add commands here")

MYSQL($dbName,"INSERT INTO rocketships VALUES('X-Wing', '1998-09-14', '6', 'blue')");

Important: When inserting data into the table, the number of variables inserted into the table must match exactly with the actual number of columns within the table. If it is not exact, the data will not be inserted.

Data Mining
Assuming the insertion went okay, let's find that data within the database, inserting the following commands within the script:

<?
$result = mysql($dbName, "SELECT * from rocketships where (color = 'blue' && seating = '6')");
# array holding all rows found within the table

$num = mysql_numrows($result);
# the actual number of rows held in the array $result.

$model = mysql_result($result,$i,"model");
$color = mysql_result($result,$i,"color");
$seating = mysql_result($result,$i,"seating");

print "The model is called: $model.<BR><BR>";
print "The color is: $color. <BR><BR>";
print "The rocket seats: $seating. <BR><BR>";

?>

Output:

The model is called X-Wing.

The color is blue.

The rocket seats 6.
Note: The above script assumes that there is only one rocket within the table colored blue and seating 6. If there is more than one rocket having these characteristics, the script will display the first rocket found within the table.

Also, note within the select statement that color and seating are NOT variables. Rather, these are the actual names of the columns. Therefore, do not place $ before the names!

Assuming there are a number of rockets having these characteristics, let's find them all and print them all out.

<?
$result = mysql($dbName, "SELECT * from rocketships where (color = 'blue' && seating = '6')");
# array holding all rows found within the table

$num = mysql_numrows($result);
# the actual number of rows held in the array $result.

$ i = 0;
while ($i < $num) :

$model = mysql_result($result,$i,"model");
$color = mysql_result($result,$i,"color");
$seating = mysql_result($result,$i,"seating");

print "Rocket number $num found:<BR><BR>";
print "The model is called: $model. <BR><BR>";
print "The color is: $color. <BR><BR>"
print "The rocket seats: $seating. <BR><BR>";

$i++;

endwhile;
?>

Up until now, we have been looking at somewhat static uses of the MySQL database. But what if you want to allow the user to input data? This is the subject of the next section, Forms and MySQL.

Variables: from a form to MySQL

Many times, we do not want to statically insert data into a MySql table. This could be easier done using telnet. We might want to use an HTML form to allow a user to insert for example, their name and email address into a MySql table.

Let's use the following table:

Create table addresses (

name VARCHAR (25),
email VARCHAR (25),
date_inserted DATETIME

);
<FORM ACTION="thanks.php3" METHOD="POST"<

<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="name" SIZE="25" MAXLENGTH="30" VALUE="">

<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="email" SIZE="25" MAXLENGTH="30" VALUE="">

<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="default value">

</FORM>

A user would fill out the above form, entering their name and email address. The name would be placed within the variable $name, and the email would be placed within the variable $email. Upon clicking the submit button, the information would be passed to the Php3 script called thanks.php3.

# thanks.php3

<?

# declare some variables

$site = io.incluso.com;
$username = mannymoejack;
$password = doodad;
$dbName = incluso;
mysql_connect($site, $username, $password);

MYSQL($dbName,"INSERT INTO userinfo VALUES('$name', '$address', NULL)");

print "Your data has been added to the database. Please click <A HREF = \"http://www.314interactive.com/io/\">here</A> to return to ionline.";

mysql_close();
# this closes the database connection

?>
Important Notes:

Why was the word NULL used, instead of a variable?
Because the DATETIME datatype , when used in conjunction with NULL, automatically inserts the current date and time into the database.

Notice the backslashes before the " marks. The " marks are special characters for Php, and must be noted by the backslash, or an error will occur. Two Quick Tips:

Watch the extensions!
Sometimes, Internet providers have installed both versions 2.0 and 3.0 of Php on the server, for reasons of convenience to users who have implemented Php 2.0 in the past, and have not yet upgraded to the recent version. Therefore, if you are using commands which were found in the 3.0 manual, make sure the extensions of the pages end in *.php3. Those ending in *.phtml will only use the 2.0 parser, of which many 3.0 commands are not found!
The addslashes() and stripslashes() function.
Certain characters are considered special within Php, and special consideration must be taken when attempting to pass them as variables within a Php script. For example, if I attempt to insert the following data into a MySQL database:
Ciao m'a'r'e'
It will seem as if the data has been inserted, as there will be no error. However, that data has not been passed!

There are two choices to remedy the situation:

Define the MAGIC_QUOTES variable within the configuration file.
Use the addslashes() function.

Ex.
Let's assume the following data has been passed via a form:
$property = Alessia's house
$where = Italy

Before the Insert statement is called, $property must undergo the addslashes() function.
$property = addslashes($property);

effectively rendering $property = Alessia\'s house.

Furthermore, when later calling that data from the database, the stripslashes() function must be called.
$property = stripslashes($property);
effectively rendering $property to again be Alessia's house.

That's it for now. Next issue, I will continue to look at more complicated aspects of the insert and select commands. Hope to see you there.

How To Hack Facebook In 51 Seconds

noreply@blogger.com (Lahiru Dilranga Silva) — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 01:52:00 +0000

So Byron Ng isn't a real Facebook hacker. But apparently it isn't hard to become one, if you've got any technical skills at all. Hacking Facebook is a cottage industry, with hundreds or thousands of unpaid workers beavering away. The video below shows how to monkey with your friends "Moods" app -- in less than 1 minute.
Right now the worst case-scenario for Facebook apps usually means someone's private photos get exposed -- and even the most gullible Facebook user there's no such thing as true privacy on the Web. (Right?) But as Facebook gets more ambitious -- see its upcoming PayPal-like currency -- that's going to change.
Is Facebook easier to hack than other sites of similar size? How about compared to other social networks? And if so, what should Zuckerberg & Co. do about it? Let us know in comments.

TRACING A IP ADDRESS

noreply@blogger.com (Lahiru Dilranga Silva) — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 14:33:00 +0000

TRACING IP ADDRESS

I know many of u know dis thing,tracing some1 but i vl tell u here many new nd exiting ways.
let's start.

First of all,vat is d need we have 2 trace any1?
see,suppose dt u vant 2 hack anywebsite or 2 any person then d most imp. thing is 2 get his ip address.

Untill d moment u vl nt be knowing his id address how can u do anything?

Here i vl teach u only tracing ip address. attacks vl come in future.

Let's start ,be prepared 4 knowing many new ways 2 trace any1.

>> Click on start>run>type cmd>hit enter
write
tracert websitename
hit enter

Now some information vl come automatically

U vl see written der[mind written in blue clr]

Tracing route 2 wensite name[ip address of d website]

nd then many more things.
yes nw u successfully got d ip address of d website.it is really very easy.
d line vch i hv written in blue clr vl be d first line automatically came nd in dt first line u may see d ip address of d website.now in second line u vl see written.
over a maximum hops of 30

Explanation of hopes

See,wenever u open any website u just send some data 2 dt website 4 vch dt website replies u nd den u send some data gain nd dis process continues ,nw suppose dt after of writing tracert google.com ,ur data packets reached 2 google.com ,now google vl try 2 reply u,bcoz google is a very big website ,it take help of many servers ,replies 4m google vl come 4m dese servers .
now look at ur command prompt.der u can see written tracing vd a maximum of 30 hopes.here u r getting ip address of d servers 4m vch datas r processing 2 u .
here u vl see * dis sign in some places,here they have fixed firewall,so dt u cann't attack easily.
written * means der is a firewall,bcoz tracing any1 is very easy,der4 de webmaster fix some firewalls so dt no1 ud be able 2 attack on dem properly.

IP ADDRESS

your ip address is d unique address on vch data r sent 2 you. ur internet service provider make hiMself sure dt datas r going 2 u bcoz he is sending data on d address specialy assigned 2 you.

1)Getting ur own ip address---->

> Click on start,go on run,open run type cmd hit enter a command prompt vl appear
> Write der
netstat -n
nd hit enter
> A list vl appear..look at local address .d first local address is ur ip address.

>> D second method 2 get ur ip address is open
whatismyip.com
on dis site u may easily know ur ip address.
NOTE : Writing netstat is more good dis command tells about all ip address vch r connected 2 u dis moment.
memorize dis small list
ftp---->21

http--->80
https---->81
pop3---->110

noreply@blogger.com (Lahiru Dilranga Silva) — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 14:29:00 +0000

FIRST OF ALL WAT IS HACKING ?

# HACKING IS NOTHING BT BREACHING IN TO A COMPUTER OR IN A SYSTEM OR IN A SOFTWARE RELATED

THING,IN VCH ACCESS IS NT PUBLIC..HACKING MEANS GETTING ND MAINTAINING ACCESS IN A CYBER PLACE WHERE U DONT HAVE RIGHTS 2 ENTER.

SEEM INTERNET IS NT VERY OLD IN DIS WORLD.IT CAME 2 PUBLIC IN 1989 IN YOROPE ND IN U.S.A. ND IN DEVELOPED CONUTRIES ND IN INDIA IT CAME IN 1992.
ACTUALY INTERNET HAS COME B4 OF MANY YEARS BT USING AT PUBLIC LEVEL ,USING AT A GENERAL HUMAN LEVEL HAS BEEN STARTED IN D YEAR ,IN VCH I HV WRITTEN .
NOW U MAY THINK INTERNET IS NT VERY MUCH OLD.
NOW TYPES OF HACKERS---->MOST OF D PPL THINK THEY R OF 2 TYPES.ONE IS ETHICAL HACKERS ND D SECOND 1 IS UNETHICAL HACKER..NO,DTS NT TRUE.
IN REALITY.HACKERS R OF 3 TYPES.

FIRST

WHITE HAT HACKERS

>THEY R ETHICAL HACKERS.THEY JUST WORK AS A SECURITY EXPERT IN ANY BANK/SOCIETY/ONLINE COMPANY.
THEY JUST FIND VULNERABILITIES ND POSSIBLE ATTACK IN A SYSTEM ND MAKE DT SYSTEM MOR3E SECURE.THEY HAVE PERMISSION 2 MAKE TESTING OF VULNERABILITIES IN D SYSTEM ND DE DO DERSELF ATACK ND TELL VAT IS D VULNERABILITY.THEY R ETHICAL HACKERS ND NEVER HARM ANYTHING .

SECOND TYPE

BLACK HAT HACKERS

> THEY R UNETHICAL HACKERS.THEY JUST FUCK ANY ONLINE SYSTEM.THEY DO IT 4 FUN OR MONEY.IT MA SEEM VERY FUNNU BT APART OF FUN ND MONEY THERE IS NO3RD ISSUE 4 VCH HACKING IS DONE.

THIRD TYPE

RED/GREY HAT HACKER

>THEY R D PERSON WHO DO HACKING 4 MONEY .IF U VL PAY THEM MONEY THEY VL SECURE YEW COMPANY IF U VL PAY THEM MONEY THEY VL HARM ANY WEBSITE OR VATEVER U VL SAY 2 THEM 2 DO.

AS I TOLD U PREVIOUSLY THERE R 3 TYPES OF HACKERS BT IN GENERAL SENSES,IN PUBLIC LAUNGUAGE THEY THINK THERE R 2 TYPES 1 IS HACKER ND S SECOND 1 IS CRACKER.
WHO IS A HACKER---->NOW THESE LINES R GOING 2 SHAKE UR MIND ABOUT UR CONCEPT OF HACKERS.A HACKER IS A PERSON WHO ONLY SEARCH ND FIND VULNERABILITIES IN A SYSTEM .HE DOES NT HARM IT .A HACKER IS GENERALY A PROGRAMMER WHO IS ONLY INTERESTED IN SEARCHING BUGS IN A ONLINE SYSTEM.THEY R PROGRAMMERS ND GENERALLY WRITE THERE OWN PROGRAAME 2 SEARCH NEW HOLES.

1) Activate MOBILE OFFICE ZERO RENTAL Dial *567*11#

2) Keep BALANCE below .30 paisa

3) Just connecct mobile with pc via pc suite.

4) Put apn airtelgprs.com
5) Now open any browser (i recomdd mozilla firefox or opera for resume downloading) and put this address 122.170.122.214.proxytea.appspot.com/surfing site NAME without http.
note: After '/' put your site name with out http' for example:
122.170.122.214.proxytea.appspot.com/www.google.com
122.170.122.214.proxytea.appspot.com/www.hackingtute.blogspot.com

6) Now u can browse all free

there are many appspot proxies working with our dis ip use any of the below:
122.170.122.214.bypass-proxy.appspot.com/ur url without http
122.170.122.214.bypass-filter.appspot.com/ur url without http
122.170.122.214.cache-0035.appspot.com/ur url without http
122.170.122.214.cache-049.appspot.com/ ur url without http
122.170.122.214.cache-0046.appspot.com/ur url without http

when u wil go to download page or tab just click the left button and copy the download link and paste it into below site (but remember romove the 122.170.122.214.proxytea.appspot.com/ from download link )
and paste the rest orignal url in the search box of the below site:
http://122.170.122.214.0000a-fast-proxy.de

(plz open it in new tab)
so its nothing but to surf via google appspot proxy engine and resume downloading via .de german proxy domain if u hv internet downd manager then it gives high speed wid resume support.

ACME COMPANION VIRUS

noreply@blogger.com (Lahiru Dilranga Silva) — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 08:43:00 +0000

; ACME COMPANION VIRUS
;
; ACME is a fast and simple companion virus which will create a
; spawned copy of itself for EVERY .EXE file it can find in the
; current directory.
;
; ACME is ready to assemble using A86. If you recall, an earlier Crypt
; letter included an A86-only source listing. (Strict TASM/MASM compatible
; assemblers will need the manual addition of a couple simple declarative
; statements.) I included ACME in this form so fans of Isaacson's
; technique can gloat about the code not requiring "red tape." ;-]
; A86 will assemble ACME directly to a .COMfile virus, no linker
; necessary.
;
; ACME currently eludes all scanners and as a companion virus, openly
; defies every integrity checker I have in my inventory with the EXCEPTION
; of Stiller Research's. This issue includes a quality report on
; Solomon's Toolkit, so it's only fair to state that while the documentation
; for this product seems to indicate that the developers know what a
; companion infection is, the software does nothing to protect against
; it in default mode. ACME flies through the Toolkit, for now. Go figure.
;
; ACME will also play a generic ACME-style virus tune late in the
; afternoon. Those who fancy a musical virus but have never heard one are
; encouraged to play with ACME. Set your system clock to anytime after
; 4:00 pm. The musical payload takes up most of the space in this virus,
; removing it shaves the virus to 242 bytes - nice and small if you like.
;
; The virus purist may recognize the root of ACME as a piece of code known
; as ZENO - a small, single-step companion infector. ZENO's author is
; thanked, wherever he/she is.
