Diary of a Hacker

Part: II

My Handle is The Cuisinart Blade.I am a Hacker.

This is part 2 in a three part series about my adventures asa Hacker. The events in these Text files are very real. Theyare written as they occured. All people in this have had theirHandles changed, (unless otherwise specified).

-To continue where I left off...

I sent Dr.Antristo home after our "encounter" with IBM. I lovedthe fact I had entered one of the biggest Corps in the World!It was about 3:34 in the morning, I logged onto the Lunacy inthe Abyss BBS, and went into the chat with my peers. After talking

to them at length about my "Discoveries", I found them all askingme for the Passwords, and how I managed to get that far. I toldthem that only an EXPERIENCED Hacker could do such things...I willadmit, I was up on myself. (shame) These others, all 13 of them,were in Awe. For once I was in the lead, I was able to scoff atsome of the higher ups who had told me I would never achieve whatthey had. I may not have been as good as they were, but I wasup with them in the big leagues!Potempkin, Renwar, bermahn, The Drifter, Sewer Rat, and Thycho,a few names of those who were online at the time. They were allvery intrested in accquiring info+ on what I had gotten into. Iwanted to tell them, but I thought it best not to. Not yet.....After chatting for half the evening, I finally went to sleep,

wondering what my next move should be.

October 30th, 1988

Dr.Antristo and I went Bin shopping again. We dug up a recordof Ex-employees scheduled to have their Passwords cleared from thesystem. Someone loved us, to give us this trash. We returned hometo find Passwords, Doodling, more Loop Numbers, and an old recordscollection of New In-Service Numbers. We wanted to know how AT&Tworked, so we were going to check it out. I first needed to talk tomy friend/contact in Ohio. I dialed up his number in the 216 Areaand waited to chat with him. He wasn't online. Bummer. I checked

a few of the other BBS's in the general area looking for people whocould tell me how one was able to crack into AT&T. No one seemed toknow.On the following evening we finally got our big break. AnotherHacker, told us in exchange for Loop Numbers he would give us aPassword in the AT&T System. We agreed. He gave us the Passwordto a smaller area of AT&T and told us that it was pretty unguardedso we should have no problem finding what we wanted to look at. Iwas and very much still am an Astronomy Buff. I wanted to find outhow many AT&T Satellites were up there. So Dr.Antristo & I weregoing to find out the following night.

Happy Holloween.....

On November 1st, 1988 we Called AT&T. We were buzzed off of the24pack of Jolt we had imbibed. After connection to the Loop number

sections, like who could order what. Private lines for othercompanies, Tracing Codes, and Satellites. I couldn't access theSatellites, but I managed to print Screen the Private Phone Linesof other companies, (and I STILL have them) and I found a real cutedoorway...it was to emergency areas. Example, A master program forthe termination of the Chicagoland area. I liked that. I couldaxe Communtication on 3.2 million people in a mircosecond. hahaha!

I didn't, of course. I went ahead and logged out. I felt verygood about the things I had done. If there is a God, he must havebeen thinking about that moment. I know that most people out therewho are Hackers or want to Hack, I know it is hard to believe, butshould you ever be in the position I am, you'd understand why Idid what I did. I never asked for forgiveness, as a matter of fact,I don't want it. I was aware of what I was doing, and I enjoyed it.Anyways...Dr.Antristo had told me that the Department of Defence wasoffering contracts to Fermi Labs, and to Argonne on the Star WarsSpace Project, and that we should look into it. I liked that idea,but the government? Geez...I thought about it for all of a month. In that time I hacked a

large number of places, Mircosoft, IBM (again), Sears, Texaco,Illinois Bell, Wisconsin Bell, Prudental, My High School, (Everyonehas done it, admit it), Martin Marrettia, and Jet Propultion Lab-rotories, (if you don't know what the last 2 are, STOP READING!)I had enough stuff that if I sold half of it, I could retire at theripe age of 16! But even thought our government holds out on us,and lies, steals, and keeps secrets, I still love it. This is theland of the free.....NOT!!!

December 3rd, 1988

I was at home watching some christmas shopping commercials anddrinking a Jolt, when I recieved a phone call from my buddy

Dr.Antristo. He told me that Argonne had gotten the project andthat someone I knew was the project manager. The Password wasAnti-RX...?!? I sighed and said what the hell, why not. Letssee what our wonderful government is up to now.After a little bit of looking into it, I found out that yes indeedsomeone I knew was into the project. I also found out that as of1988-89 Star Wars was not...35% complete, but a whopping 87%. Theonly thing left to "Shunt" into orbit was a weapon called theWiggler beam. A laser which concentrated high speed X-rays intoa focused stream, resulting in a laser so powerful it wouldlitterly slice incoming missiles in half. I didn't care what thething could do, this was good information. I liked it, so I gotonto Argonne National Labrotories Crey computer using a stolenpassword and copied the plans to an undisclosed location for laterretrival.Dr.Antristo told me to goto the Department of Energy, you know, thebigwigs with no dicks, who push everyone whom they consider beneiththem around to make their things for them. (Wussies) I went fromthe Crey to the main computer terminal of the D.O.E. and lookedaround for a bit. I found something I know all you will just love,a small article of information indicating after shipping out 265"Pink Slips" that Article 130a, said that they (all the brass at theD.O.E. were going to give themselves some raises) oh my, how cute.Well, after looking around in the D.O.E. area, I quickly shut offthe computer and terminated the connection when I heard my all-

powerful Father come down the stairs to talk to me. Whew!
