Introduction To The Introduction
 Written by Pazuzu, 04-27-1993
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, people, WELCOME to DnA Volume 1, Issue 1 - our FIRST issue!

This "Intro to DnA" was basically my idea. I thought I'd have everyone in the
group write a little something about themselves, just to let you all know 
what's up with us. This is our first issue, and we're very interested in 
hearing what everyone thinks, so if you read this, please call up one of our
Member Systems (they're listed in a separate article), and let us know!



ABOUT THE READER PROGRAM: 

Yeah, I know, I know, the reader isn't a |<-wR/-\|> hi-color, soundblaster
supported, elite-0 reader. However, we don't care. We believe a magazine is
about articles, not about flashy readers. It's fine if you want to spend all
your time on a reader, and almost none on the articles, but that's not what
we're into. We want to provide quality articles, and that takes time. Also, I
run a BBS, which is the 714 hub for two worldwide networks, as well as an 
Internet/UUCP/Usenet site, PLUS I program professionally 8 hours a day. So, 
if the reader isn't all you hoped, just remember: Our articles ARE the best 
quality available, because we concentrate on the ARTICLES, not the READER.


On with the intro.

I consider myself one of the Old Gods of the Underground. I do this partially
out of arrogance (20%), and partially because it's justified (80%). I started
the computing addiction 12 years ago (I was 10), when my grandmother gave me 
a Commodore 64 for Christmas. I immediately took to it, and started writing 
games in BASIC. Soon after this, I realized BASIC was a bit slow (yeah, 
right, toooooo slooooowww), so I grabbed a book on 6502 Assembly and was on 
my way. Back in the Commodore days, everyone pirated everything, and no one 
ever considered it "elite", the wares were just there for the taking. No big
deal. Well, some years later (hell, I don't remember EXACTLY how many), I got
an Amiga 500, and a *modem*... You, of course, know what THAT led to. I had 
fun with Amiga, which forced me to learn C, which I also learned from a book.
When I turned 18, I moved out, and got my first IBM Cl0ne. By the time like 
July (I think) 1989 rolled around, my BBS first went on-line as Motel 666. 
This BBS eventually became rather popular in the phreak/hack world. I and The
Drop Site were definitely the two most active p/h BBS's in Southern 
California, and possibly the country. Around June 1990, I got involved with 
Project Revolution (a long-since-dead BBS software), and started the STILL 
CONTINUING chain Revolution-Revelation-Shroom/Carnage-Melange/Uncanny. My BBS
has been up and down (and up and down and up and down) since then, due in 
large part to moving, legal problems, and financial problems. But, the 
machine I have now is legit, and Minas Morgul/Daemonsgate is here to stay.

Underground-wise, my specialty is scams. On my first carding run, my take was
two TI TravelMate 2000 notebooks with 2 megs RAM each, and the 2400 
modem/9600 fax option for each. Back then, each one was $3500 a piece. That's
7k. Not bad for first run... I also dabble in phreaking (mostly just 
code-jockeying), and anarchy as well, since I live in Little Tijuana. I am 
also a UNIX freak. 


I'd like to say "HI!" to the following: The Thief, The Boozer, N Sult/D ToX,
Oolon Colluphid/Caramon Majere, Lady in Black, Midnight Sorrow, Claudia de 
Lioncourt/Sweet Thang, and Xiguli.

"FUCK YOU!!!'s" go out to: Griffag and Elrond Halfelven

    Well, gentle reader, I suppose you have been wondering just what kind
of people are responsible for this chaotic collection of 0's and 1's we call
DnA, so here goes. My handle, as you know, is Arclight. I've been in the
computer scene for going on 5 years now, and I've been BBS'ing for for the
last 3. My hacking mentality has been with me all my life; I've always been
on the lookout for ways to play with the system, to defeat the bureaucracy.
Anyway, all I have to say is keep your eyes open, realize how silly life
is and take advantage of it, and if your going to hell and in a handbasket
anyway, enjoy the ride!

    5/4/93

    Well here goes..

    I'm sure by now everyone in the groups is pissed that I've taken so
long, but oh well...  Here's the intro that I needed to write up about me.

    I started bbs'ing about 5 years ago.  About a month after I got my
first modem, I tried to put up a board.  Ever since then I was on and off
with a board.  Eventually about 3 years ago, I met Pazuzu where we went on
a joint effort developing a BBS software which I currently am still doing.
(Check out Uncanny BBS today)  Anyways...  I'm still in school, doing the
school thing pulling a decent GPA and shit, so well I don't got shitloads
of time to write articles.  I started the h/p scene around the time I met
Pazuzu and since then I've been progressing and learning just like we want
everyone else to do.  I'm now the world's most famous hacker or even a
great one at all, but I dibble dabble on the System 75 and CBI scene.  A
little about my crime history would reveal a lawsuit in April '92 for code
hacking 950-1493's  FUCK THRIFY TEL.  Anyways.  I was also picked up about
a week later from that on a residential burglary, of which I know ALOT
about.  (See article)  After all of that was over, it's NOW, and I'm
currently on 654 probabtion, which is basically home supervision.  Well
there isn't much more for me to say right now, except that I'll try to
write quality articles and will tell you ahead of time, that I personally
will be revising alot of old articles that seem to have gotten lost,
that'll help the basic h/p guy out.  Well hope you like what this group
does, because DnA will be around for awhile.  Just hope that I'm around to
help it out..   You won't be seeing a whole lot from me every release due
to the facts: 1)  Into that SCHOOL thing..eck!  2)  I've got a girlfriend
:)  3)  Community Service SUCKS  4)  I'm in Track  5)  Community Service
SUCKS <-- had to reemphasize it.  I hope you like what you do see, but
until then...LATERS ALL!!

                                            The Stainless Steel Rat (818)



       LUKE
       ͼ
        
        After the combined intro's of Pazuzu and Arclight, it's
sort of hard to produce an equal to their great lives. Hmmmm....
Well, Here goes..

        About 4 years ago I got started modeming when my
good friend, The Tracer, sold my parents a 286 IBM
compatible with a 2400 baud modem. The modem was MEANT
to ne used for prodigy, but I wanted to learn more. I
soon learned how to call out with telix and I was on my
way, now to find places to call. The Tracer was on some
Elite Boards such as, Cemetary Gates, The Roach Motel, The Dart
Board, Phreakers Den, Street Spy, and Louder than Bombs. He got
me on those boards and I was off to a great start as an H/P guy.
I really didn't learn much about Hacking until I meet The
Stainless Steel Rat, about a year ago. He taught me all I
needed to know, and all that you're going to know. Now, the two
of us are an H/P tag team with information coming out our asses!
I just hope we can share that information with all of our
readers, in a way that EVERYONE can understand.
        A little about myself, Hmmm... Well, I go to school,
study like crazy (and still get the worst grades in the class),
modem EVERY day, and participate in Football and Track. People
say that I am very talented (How they come up with this FUCKED
up Idea, I'll never know) and that I write very well (BULLSHIT!)
and I hope that I can share my talents with you all. My
interests are mainly in phreaking and scams ( BK's <-Read the
text on Burglaries, PBX's, and Bank Jobs <-- Credit Card Fraud,
Checks, Fake Id's, Etc..
        Some thoughts on DnA.... it's going to be one of the
"BETTER" groups around (as soon as we start releasing) because
it is mainly concerned with bringing BACK the H/P scene. After
people start reading this magazine, we hope that it will bring
some more users into the H/P scene.  CUz the more the merrier I
always say!

  DEATH n' ANARCHY really mean, "FUCK THE FEDS!"
