Ground Zero Communications 覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧 1: About our webpage ---------- [dYnamike] -------------------- Ok people, if you have been up to date with GZC, you would realize that we have our webpage out. What? you didn't hear? http://gzc.tsx.org/ its very plain and simple. A good friend of mine, Aaron Lewicki designed it for us. He works for a webhosting company based in Toronto, Ontario. I must recommend him since he did such a fine job on our site. If you are looking for somewhere to host a site or someone to build you a site, e-mail alewicki@creativereality.com. We did not bother to put up programs on our website, don't ask why. If you want to contact us, gzc@privacyx.com or on DALnet #gzc. If you visit the page often, be sure to check for updates. We plan to have quite a few of them. 2: Good tricks when using a linemans handset ---------- [dYnamike] -------------------------------------------- I love my beige box. If you are familiar with operating one, you will understand the following and probably find it quite interesting. If you have any new ideas for this subject, feel free to include them at the BOTTOM of this file and e-mail it back to gzc@privacyx.com. Now on to the good stuff... TRICK #1: Easy alternative to an ANI or ANAC. Have a friend sit at home and make sure he has call display. You go to your target box (make sure it has more than 10 lines in it or you are wasting your own time) and dial your friends number. Your friend will watch the display and write down the number. Make sure you can later make a map of which lines are where in the box. So easy its stupid. Just make sure the idiot can lie if any phone police come a-knockin'. If you are looking for a certain phone number but you dont know where it is in the box, then you use the same method as above. Dial your friend and when you are using your targets phone line, tell him to hit a few numbers on the phone so you know. Then you can take a marker and make a checkmark where the line is in the box. If you are searching for a certain phone line, it is best for your friend sitting at home to use call forwarding to his cell phone or somewhere else because if the authorities catch on, call forwarding throws them off a little bit. TRICK #2: (unrelated to beige box) This is not really a trick but it is kind of cool. I know it exists in Toronto but not other cities. If you live in a major city, chances are all listed residential phone numbers can be found on a single CD-ROM. In Toronto, the CD is called 'Teledirect YellowPages'. It even contains maps of the city. Pretty crazy, eh? When I got mine, it came in the mail. I did not have to request it or pay anything for it. Its main advantage is to save all that paper. I think it is a great idea. Now, like I said, if you live in a main city and you dont already have one of these, call the operator and ask about it. If any other cities that you know of have this CD, please e-mail me the city and the name of the CD. These can be useful if you arent an idiot! TRICK #3 If you are looking to record phone calls for whatever reason when using your linemans, go to Radio Shack. They have a simple recording device that sells for $29.99 canadian. If you are just an amateur phreak, try going to Radio Shack. You would be surprised, they have all kinds of great stuff. Again, this is not a trick :). Very stupid trick: Do you want to learn how to play 'Mary Had A Little Lamb' using numbers on the phone? well.... dial this number... ---=== 321233322223332123333223211 ===--- compliments of [dYnamike] (And here's 'Hot Cross Buns'! 74174111114444741 - Ed.) 3: Furbies ---------- MMLJ ---------------- Furbys. Those cute lovable annoying murder-provoking cuddly pieces of shit. Holy fuck I can't get over how much I hate them. But hey, I admire their AI. This fuzzy sakbiter actually grows. From my drug-hazed reading of his instructions, there are four phazes. The first stage is where he's a useless lump of shit that just needs feeding and becomes a real annoyance until you break his head. Second stage is like, kinda useless. Still cant make beer or whack me off. The third stage is when he finally learns to speak a little sense. His fourth and final stage is where he is relatively coherent. Now, I bought this guy for 5$, I wouldn't spend 40$. I'd only buy a whore for that much. He had "Developmental Problems". Human Translation: Retarded Furby. Anyways, I took the poor bastard home, put in some batteries. Nothing happens, so I throw him against the wall and what do I hear but "Eee Cha Ooo Mee" or some shit like that. I'm like "Holy fuck it works, better write a text. . . .gotta masturbate first.". So I whacked my meat and here I am. Now, the furby's AI is based on two motherboards with chips. These chips have an opaque plastic cover, so forget fucking with those. The little shithead is driven by one servo. It movies his eyes, ears, etcetera. He has a motion sensor, to tell what way you move him, a front sensor and a back sensor. Now, the little infrared jiggy-ma-gig. Some panasonic remotes can make him do shit, just try it out. Let's take it step by step. First, skin the little bastard. He's gonna be in so much fuckin pain, poor guy. Ok, if you felt ANY remorse at all, stop now. Take a knife or other such jagged killing utensil, and proceed to cut the stitches around the base of the bastard. They should cut relatively easily. Peel the skin off him, and say hi to your naked bastard child. You have to make a difficult choice here, smash him or break him gently. To break him gently, find a screw and screw, or find a hole and pry. Ahh, his guts. Examine, learn, inspire! If you follow your heart and are in a drug induced haze, do not continue. I, on the other hand, continued. The bastard child is driven by one motor, ah the genius. You COULD hook up that servo and make it move, but what the fuck would that do? Anyways, there's it's guts. Not much, eh? Furby's can be cool, if you teach them to say "Get me weed bitch". If any of you come up with any developments, email me. I was thinkin. . . .the possession plague for furby's. Use your fuckin imaginations idiots. Fuck off, stop fuckin looking at me shitheads. Fuck you, FUCK YOU ALL! (This guy wants to be the official group diplomat. Really. - Ed.) 4: Info on UUCP ------ [dYnamike] ----------- The main purpose of UUCP is to connect two UNIX systems to each other. It supports quite a few useful features such as mail transfer, file transfer, and you can also log in to a remote UNIX system with UUCP. UUCP does not have a set purpose. One of the most common uses is that it can be used to easily transfer files from one system to the other. First, to see what version of UUCP you are running, look in /usr/lib/uucp. If it is a file named 'Systems', this means that the HoneyDanBer version is installed on your machine. This version is a post-Version 2 program. HoneyDanBer is newer and just.....better. To login to a remote UNIX system using UUCP, you have to use a program called cu. This means Call UNIX. You can even login to a non-unix system with this program. CU uses some of the same configuration files as UUCP (i dont know which) so be careful damnit. If you are looking to execute commands remotely, you have to use UUX. UUX stands for UNIX to UNIX eXecute. A lot of the times, admins limit the commands that can be executed remotely for tighter security. (UUCP-path uses port 117, UUCP's daemon runs on port 540. These are just defaults, obviously. - Ed.) 5: The best 2600 ------ Theseus --------------- Me, [dYnamike], and Paral0x recently went to what I think we all agree was the coolest 2600 meeting we've ever gone to. Assault, police, good old-fashioned psychopaths, -and- I got covered in beer. Plus, 2600 meetings are banned from being held there. So, here's the story. Paral0x had gone to Taco Bell while me, [dYnamike], and doobius stayed in the cyber cafe where the meeting was being held. This was about half an hour before the meeting started, and so no one else was there for it yet. Apparently doobius had pissed off the manager of the place the previous day by taking out his own laptop in a place where they charge for computer usage, and so doobius was apologizing to the manager about that, and doobius said it had just been that the owner had always been cool with it, and so the manager said that, oh well, he was in charge, and doobius said well, I can just talk to the owner about that, and the manager said, yeah, and you can leave too, you can leave right now. So doobius said he'd leave, right after he finished his beer, and the manager said no, I'll take the beer, and doobius was saying about how he had purchased the beer, he was gonna finish it, and the manager said no, and doobius asked what reason he was being kicked out for, and the manager said he didn't need one, so doobius just started drinking the beer, and the manager grabbed doobius by the back of the neck and pulled him off his chair. So, the beer spills all over me, and the manager pulls doobius around behind me, so I can't see what's going on, but according to [dYnamike] the manager hit doobius in the back of the head. Then the manager took doobius down to the top of the stairs leading out of the place, while doobius yelled out something to the effect of "you all saw that! he assaulted me! you're all witnesses!" at which point the manager threw doobius down the stairs. So I grabbed doobius' cigarettes and laptop, and [dYnamike] grabbed his and Paral0x's stuff, and we headed downstairs. We got outside, and doobius was missing, so I went to the Taco Bell to tell Paral0x what was going on. Just a quick "I'm covered in beer, and now I'm trying to find the owner of this laptop. Be back." and then I went outside, and [dYnamike] had found doobius, and I gave him his stuff. Where was he? He had gone to call the police. Alright. So, we're hanging around outside, doobius because he's waiting for the cops, me and [dYnamike] because there is no fucking way we're missing this. It takes about 15 minutes for the police to show up, and a group of about 8 or 9 of us have gathered around outside waiting for them. Odd that it took the cops so long, considering we were literally less than half a block from a police station. So, the cops show up, and sit in the car for about 5 minutes. Then they get out, and they talk to doobius for 10 or 15 minutes. Meanwhile, Paral0x has showed up, and is pissed that he missed all the action. Then the cops went upstairs and talked to the manager for a bit. While they were doing this, two old guys showed up and went to go inside. Doobius stopped them, saying "don't go up there, the manager will assault you." And one of the guys asks if we're there for the 2600, and asks doobius all about what happened and then went upstairs.. after a few minutes he came down, asked doobius a few more questions, wrote down the number of the police car, gave doobius his e-mail address, and said something about "taking care of" the manager. Next the cops came downstairs, grabbed the old guy and pulled him aside. I heard bits and pieces of what was said. I think the old guy had gone upstairs and done something, and the manager got pissed at him and had threatened him. Then the old guy started saying how CSIS asked him to do work for them, and that CSIS would get him out of this, and the cops said they didn't give a damn about CSIS. So the two cops and the old guy came over, as 2 more cops (backup! wow!) pull up. The cops tell us that our club (2600, I think he means) is banned from Cyberland until the owner says otherwise, and that the old guy is pretty much the sole reason for all of us being banned. Meanwhile, the old guy is saying that we're all "black boxes" and that CSIS was gonna fix all this. He also said something about New York, told us to move down the block a bit, and then took off. Everyone took off except those of us in GZC, some cops, and doobius, who was still talking to them. In the end, they told him that they wouldn't arrest the guy or press charges, but he's free to do so if he wants. Ah, the life of a nerd. 6: Contact Info ---------- E-mailing gzc@privacyx.com ought to work.
