(end Phrack header) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++ FACE-TO-FACE BBS ++++++++++++ A number of electronic digests exist, such as this one, that attempt to raise the issues of computer security, ethics, law, or policy. Few BBSs exist for the same purpose. However, a new BBS has been set up for the discussion of hacking, and unlike conventional "hacker" BBSs, this one is designed for discussions between law enforcement and security specialists and hackers. The goal of the board is to provide serious, intelligent dialogue between various groups. It's called FACE-TO-FACE, and the number is 713-242-6853. Here is the introductory log-in message: All Hackers, Federal Agents, and Journalists Welcome to a new concept in underground bulletin boards! IDEA: The idea first came to me when I was mourning over the fact that Phoenix Project went down. I thought, now gee, that was a good board. Ever since then I've been searching for a place to "Hang-out"; A place where users were not only productive but mature. Well, out of all those BBS's out there, I could not locate one that met my standards of "a good board". So, I came to the conclusion: There are no decent BBS's in the underground still running. Then it hit me-- Why not make one ? Sounds logical. Well, here it is. FACE to FACE: This BBS is devoted to having an intelligent, mature, communication link from the Computer Underground to the Press and back to the Security Agencies around the nation. WARNING: Although this BBS allows "hackers" access, The Management of this BBS demands that all users refrain from posting illegal material in nature. If any such material is posted, that user and the message(s) shall be deleted. I can't stress this enough. You have called a BBS where security agents are scanning the messages also-- It's for OUR and YOUR saftey. We do not advocate "hacking" in any way. We are the MODERATORS of this BBS, while you are the USERS. It's a pure communications link between the two sides. One side seeing white, the other black. We see grey. Access is guaranteed to any user who wishes to call. This is an open system for the "phree" world.
