Several of the witnesses are Bell South personnel, presumably to testify on the system that was allegedly compromised. However, since Neidorf is not charged with entering that system it is unclear as to why so many Bell South employees would be able to give relevant testimony. Other witnesses for the government include SS personnel and a representative (to be announced) of UMC where Phrack was produced and distributed from. 4/30/90 --------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- Summer Schedule -------------- CuD will come out less frequently in the summer, probably about once every 3-4 weeks, depending on how steady the contributions are. If you are on a student account that is closed during the summer, be sure to notify us so we don't unnecessarily jam up the mails. If you come across news articles about the CU in the news, be sure to send them to us. --------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- FTP SITE ------------- We have one FTP site, and we could use a few more. The current FTP cite is: RJKRAUSE@SUNRISE.bitnet We are gradually providing the site with the bulk of our back issues of ATI, PIRATE, PHRACK, P/Hun, LoD, and papers, handbooks, and other material that researchers should find useful. We remind everybody that requests for files directly from CuD should come gradually, because we can only send out a few at a time. So, if you can't get through to the FTP site, keep track of what you need and send a note simply saying something like "Send issues 25-30 of ATI" (or whatever), and keep sending until you have what you need. ------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------- Whither the BBS World? ------------ From what we've been reading (and seeing), the world of the CU BBS has been changing dramatically in the past year. The elite p/h boards are fewer, and the "lamer" boards are increasing. 9600 baud modems have changed the pirate world, and there haven't been many new "special interest" boards (cyberpunk, eco-raiders, anarchy, etc) springing up. We plan to do an article on the status of boards, especially on the changes over the past decade. Does anybody know which was the first phreak/hacker board? The first pirate board? Which was the all-around "Best of the Rest" in the 1980s? We'd like to put this in a historical context, so if you have any ideas, send them along. Better yet, write an article! =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ + END THIS FILE + +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+===+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=  Downloaded From P-80 International Information Systems 304-744-2253 12yrs+
