(>-------------------------------------------------------------------------<) The LOD Technical Journal: File #1 of 12 Volume 1, Issue 5 Released: June 18, 1993. LOD TECHNICAL JOURNAL --------------------- The Legion of Doom will long be remembered in the computer underground as an innovative and pioneering force, that consistently raised the collective level of knowledge and provided many answers to questions ranging from the workings of the telephone system to the structure of computer operating systems. 5. At all times relevant herein, the Legion of Doom (LOD) was a closely knit group of computer hackers involved in: a. Disrupting telecommunications by entering computerized telephone switches and changing the routing on the circuits of the computerized switches. b. Stealing proprietary computer source code and information from companies and individuals that owned the code and information. c. Stealing and modifying credit information on individuals maintained in credit bureau computers. d. Fraudulently obtaining money and property from companies by altering the computerized information used by the companies. e. Disseminating information with respect to their methods of attacking computers to other computer hackers in an effort to avoid the focus of law enforcement agencies and telecommunication security experts. - Indictment laid down by a US District Court It wasn't the crimes they were committing, but the danger, the potential hazard, the sheer technical power LoD had accumulated, that had made the situation untenable. - Bruce Sterling in The Hacker Crackdown Its been over THREE whole years since we last put out a TJ! May, 20th 1990 to be exact. The LOD TJ, will publish any acceptable and original articles, technical explanations, schematics or other files that deal with computer security/insecurity, telecommunications, data networks, physical security, credit, law enforcement, privacy, cryptology, restricted information, editorial commentary and other topics. To submit an article for publication simply send it to us. Freelance writers are always sought after to provide original articles for the TJ. Bigger is better as far as this Journal goes. The more information, the more instruction and the more people can benefit from it. The LOD also seeks qualified members to fill its ranks. You must possess a strong desire to both learn and teach. Those with an eleeet attitude need not apply. LOD's former membership was a list of some of the brightest and most capable individuals in the underground - names like Mark Tabas, The Mentor, The Prophet and others. Take advantage of your opportunity to join the ranks of the world's greatest underground group. Apply today. What is particularly needed right now is someone in the publishing business to publish all the TJ's on hard copy and make them available for mass sale. Not just another "hacker book company" mind you, but one that will be able to place the TJ in your common book store. As this will both give us legitimacy and make it available to the average person and not just those with modems or net.access. We expect to receive no profit from this so there is an added bonus to any potential publishers. If you are a publisher or can get us in contact with one that can undertake this, by all means contact us. Reach us at: Internet Email: tdc@zooid.guild.org Mail: LOD P.O. Box 104 4700 Keele St. North York, ON M3J-1P3 Voice: +1-416-609-7017 The Legion of Doom is back to... o Provide free education for the public in data and telecom networks, operating systems and other aspects of technology. Through both our Technical Journal and our new Legion of Doom Technical School. o Turn hacking back into its former glory of technical understanding away from its c0de abusing state today. o Publish a high-quality Technical Journal available to all who are interested completely free of charge. o Give fellow hackers an organized group of similar minded individuals to communicate and learn with. Please be advised that we are still getting "back on our feet". So look for much better journals and other things to come from us in the future. It will take at least a couple years to get the Legion back to its former glory so don't expect things to happen instantly. Hopefully these journals can come out every couple of months, instead of our previous year odd gaps between releases. But as finding and writing suitable articles is very difficult it may be sometime before the next issue comes out. If this does happen, don't assume we're dead. More journals will come out, it is only a question of when. For one reason or another the LOD has always been surrounded by an atmosphere of mis-information, confusion and downright lies. Everyone has heard the expression "don't believe everything you hear". This is especially true with anything concerning the LOD. As a general rule if you didn't hear it in this TJ, chances are its untrue or incorrect. This TJ may be freely distributed on either hard or soft copy forms as long as it has not been altered. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- TABLE OF CONTENTS: Name of article or file Author Size ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01 Introduction to the LOD Technical Journal Staff 03K and Table Of Contents for Volume 1, Issue 5 02 The Legion of Doom Technical School: Staff 08K 1993-1994 Program Calendar 03 Index to the LOD Technical Journals: Staff 06K Issues 1-5 04 Communications Technology Unequal Access 24K 05 DMS-100 Maintenance Unequal Access 14K 06 Operator Service Position System (OSPS) The Enforcer 12K 07 Testing Operations Provisioning Administration Mystik Freak 09K System (TOPAS) 08 International Switching Systems Mystik Freak 30K 09 Hacking GANDALF XMUXs Deicide 12K 10 TEMPEST Technology Grady Ward 13K 11 Presidential Security Argon 14K 12 Network News & Notes Staff 63K Total: 12 files 208K ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hope you find this Journal to be of some use to you it took a good deal of time to put together.
