Jungle Survival
---------------
By: Digital Destruction (604)
Hello once again, ATI freaks, it's me again with some more
hints to get you through those pesky situations which
always manage to mess up your dinner reservations...This
time, Jungle War Tactics.
Has there ever been a time when you were taking a
leisurely walk through the Amazon jungle only to realize by
way of a note pinned to a tree by a spear that you were being
stalked by headhunters? At that moment I'll bet most of you
said to yourselves 'Gee, I wish I knew some Jungle war
tactics!'..Well Here's the break youve been looking for.
Knife trick:
------------
To kill your enemy by way of excruciatin pain, use this
method. Sharpen many hardwood sticks, and plant point-up
in a patch of land -on a trail, for instance- and
cover in fesces. Then cover it all with leaves or
something and when Bongo and Umgala come after you, they
will step on the sticks, get driven into their feet (And if
they fell their bodies), and if that dont kill em then blood
poisoning from the feces will.
Pond Trick
----------
If you can find a very still pond, you can plant the sharp
sticks in this, but you dont have to, and then cover with
grass, leaves etc. They will think it is land and SPLOOSH.
Well, those two tricks should do it. (I cant think of any
more!) So
until next time, Hasta!
'Good Time' Tear Gas
--------------------
By: Digital Destruction (604)
Okay everyone, it's time to cook!
It seems to me, that an insurance seminar just wouldnt
be any fun without some good potent tear gas. Am I right?
Well anyway, As I was walking through my local K-Mart I was
approached by the King, Elvis himself who instructed me
by divine intervention to write this file so here goes.
To make real potent tear gas, it's relatively simple.
Ingredients:
------------
2 lbs. of red pepper seeds
A handy-dandy Popeil Percolater
A perfume bottle or Binaca Blaster
Procedure:
----------
Place seeds, 1/2 pound at a time and perk (perk?) for an
hour or two. Scoop the seeds out and you will have about 2
tablespoons of the most potent resin I've seen. Put this
with a little
Tabasco in a squirter and there ya go. The seeds can also be
reused for fun... The next time you go see 'Camille' in the
movies, toss a few off the balcony! Hee Hee....Anyway, this
is Digital
Destruction telling you, when the earth collides with the
sun, try to stay out of the backblast.
The Calcium Carbide Grenade
---------------------------
By: Digital Destruction(604)
Ya know, one of the things I like about this country is
that anyone can build their very own anti-personell
grenade using store bought everyday materials. In this
file I will discuss how to build one of these babies.
It should be known that when this grenade is exploded
it produces a cloud of thick grey smoke 40 feet in diameter
hovering 3 feet above the ground in which nobody can see
or breathe with just a hint of shrapnel to top off the
event, so I wouldnt go throwing it at your local boy scout
parade for a 'good laugh'...Procede with caution...
There are still a lot of angry Indians left over from
Bhopal.
Ingredients needed:
-------------------
250 grams of Calcium Carbide
(You can buy this stuff in any hardware store as lantern
fuel)
1 Coca-Cola can (Washed and dried)
1 100ml test tube (pyrex)
1 rubber cork
Duct tape
Procedure:
----------
Funnel 180-250g of Cal. Carbide into the can so it is about
1/4 full. Then, remembering to keep it AWAY from water,
put aside. Fill test tube to 100ml and cork. MAKE SURE the
outside of this is COMPLETELY dry. Any excess water on the
cork or outside of the tube will make YOU an instant
victim! Then, carefully insert test tube into hole in top of
can so it rests on bed of C.C.. Drop dots of wax around
opening to hermetically seal opening, and wrap the whole
thing in duct tape. When thrown, upon impact, the test tube
will break, scattering water all over the C.C. creating a
gaseous reaction resulting in 600lbs per square inch of
pressure which will last about 5 seconds. the can will
explode, shrapnel will fly and the gas will go. Here is a
picture of how it should look.

-------------
Remember. Carbide gas is a cancer
causing toxin and is fatal.
Now you have your own anti-personell
grenade! Won't Mom be surprised!
Have fun.....And be careful.
Until next time, VIVA REVOLUTION!
Mall Terrorism
--------------
..Phun things to do in the vast
malls of Suburbia, by The Happy
Hacker and Digital Destruction
1. Get 500 mg gelatin capsules and
fill about 100 of them with high-
potency suds. Also fill about 30
capsules with red Jello mix. Dump
all the capsules into the large
fountain that is the central part
of many malls. The time necessary
for the capsules to dissolve and wreak
their havoc will be sufficient for
you to make a non-hasty exit from the
area.
2. Take a penny, and wrap a (1/4")
strip of litmus paper. Wrap that in
a foil gum wrapper, making sure the
penny, litmus paper and the foil all
touch each at some point. You now
a crude version of an electronic theft
device! Place it in a plant next to
the security "towers" at the exit of
the store. The alarm will keep going
off, and no one will be able to figure
out what's setting it off!!
3. Phun with Mannequins! Try these!
a. Put Groucho Marx glasses on them.
b. Switch wigs on male and female
mannequins.
c. Make them hold signs with
revolutionary quotes on them.
d. Stand next to mannequins and stay
still. Pretend to be one!
4. If you are male, go to the women's
makeup counter and demand service.
5. Put comdoms over security cameras,
of course avoiding being seen by
them before/while doing so.
7. Computers! Write a short BASIC
program that spews obscenitites or
other annoying propaganda across the
screen of a display computer in a
store. Here's an example of one for a Commodore 64:
10 PRINT"(CLR HOME)"
20 POKE 53281,0:POKE 53280,0
21 INPUT"PRESS ANY KEY FOR DEMO!":A$
22 IF A$="" THEN 22
23 PRINT"(CLR HOME)":PRINT:PRINT:PRINT: PRINT
24 PRINT"(CNTRL-2)THERE ONCE WAS A GIRL FROM VERMEETH"
25 PRINT"THAT LIKED TO CIRCUMCIZE GUYS
WITH HER TEETH"
26 PRINT"NOT FOR THE MONEY"
27 PRINT"AND NOT FOR THE GLORY"
28 PRINT"BUT JUST FOR THE CHEESE
UNDERNEATH!!"
NOTE:Where the prg says "(CLR HOME)",
you will actually type SHIFT and the
CLR HOME key. A symbol of a heart
encased in a box should be displayed.
Where the prg says "(CNTRL-2)", you
hold down the CNTRL and the 2 key.
Run the program, and watch the
unsuspecting comsumer become apalled
at the off-color limerick!
8. Phun in the parking lot!
a. Redirect traffic with orange
traffic cones.
b. (You need a few people for this
one) Go past all the newer model
cars, giving each a healthy shove
while passing. This should result
in an infinite number of car alarms
going off at once!
9. Pranks in the Electronics Dept!
a. Put porno flick in display VCR.
some other very offensive commedian
in a cassette deck.
10. Mix smut books in with other
books being sold at the bookstore.
Also, if they have a display window,
replace one of the displayed books
with the most bizarre smut book you
can find.
11. Pay F0ne Phun!
a. See a crowd of annoying mall rats
congregating around a pay phone
waiting for one of their buddies to
call them and tell them their
parents have gone out and it's ok to
have the troop of degenerates over
for a Megadeath listening party? No
problem! Go to the pay phone across
the hallway and watch them curse
angrily with screams of "What da
fuck?!?" as you direct an SSCU to
constantly call that number and say
"Hello, Hello, Hello..."
b. Pull underneath rubber covering
by the handset of a pay fone and
locate the red wire. Strip it, then
cut it. The pay phone will accept
coins, but won't connect any call
after someone has paid for it. Go
back the next day and twist the
spliced ends of the wire together.
Voila! You have hit the jackpot, and
should receive every coin that has
been insereted into the phone since
the red wire was cut.
c. Put a rubber spider, or something
equally disquieting in the coin
return slot of a pay phone. Stay
nearby and watch your surprised
victim retrieve it!!
12. Here are some standard names you
can have paged in a depeartment store:
a. Connie Linkus
b. Dick Hurtz
c. Mike Hunt
d. Ben Dover
e. Jack Meoff
13. Take a powerful magnet, preferably
a bar magnet, and hold it in your hand
as inconspicuously as possible. Walk
over to a video game in progress in
the mall-rat infested arcade and hold
the magnet in back of the machine.
The screen of the video game will be
disrupted, to the suprise and dismay
of the players and spectators, until
you remove the magnet.
That's all the terroristic pranks we
can think of at the moment. But be
on the lookout for Mall Terrorism,
Part 2 in the near future!

And now, on a more cheerful note,
a poem from Ground Zero
in my room
----------
i lie alone
the world speeds on
victimized
alone i lie
hope's not here
i've no reprieve
the walls preach doom
the walls deceive
but do they lie?
my mind's awry
in discontent
i wonder why
the darkened night
removes my sight
i face my doom
alone
in my room

News From the Front..
**** POSSIBLE DATA LOSS 00 21J ****
(Hehe, just kidding, there was no
Telenet packet-switched-induced data
loss. Just GZ's sense of humor..)
Doc Telecom/Raider update: They are
going for another Superior Court Review
this week, where a "deal" will be
offered to Doc and Raider by the
prosecution. With any luck, they
will be offered 1 year's time, with
the chance for parole in a short time.
By the way, Doc and Raider were
featured in an article about hackers
that appeared 6 weeks ago on the front
page of the New York Times.
A hacker from New Jersey called The
Wasp was busted in connection with the
Livermore Labs breakin. The feds paid
him a nice friendly visit. More on this
in future issues.
Be kind to your children: The news
tonight had a piece regarding Yuppie-
type parents who push their children
too hard. One mother mentioned
made her son participate in about 8
after-school activities, which took up
at least 2 hours of after-school time
each day. The activities were curtailed
only when the 9-year-old boy displayed
strange physical symptoms such as
headaches, and constant colds, which
are typical symptoms for overworked
children. A psychologist descibes how
parents who overwork their children
feel: that their chldren are status
sysmbols, and they should be pushed
to "succeed" so that the parents can
boast of their childrens' endeavors.
AT&T, MCI, British Telecommunications
LC, France Telecom and Western Union
are all co-owners of TAT8, the first
fiberoptic trans-oceanic cable. TAT8
went operational last month, support-
ing a capacity of 560M bit/sec. Look
forward to better international
connections! ;)
Smart Cards: How Smart?
Smart cards are wallet-sized plastic
cards with microprocessors built into
them, and they are on the rise. They
are widely used in France and Japan,
and it is reported that Visa and
MasterCard are making deals for
millions of dollars worth of cards.
Smart cards are so widely used in Japan
that the country's Minister of Finance
is investigating how their widespread
use is affecting the nation's money
supply. Since the microprocessors
built into the cards contain
information on the cardholder, there
is no need to access a network to
verify transactions. This makes the
smart card useful in credit card and
calling card applicaions. However,
they are beginning to be applied to
other uses. The National Security
Agency recently signed contracts with
three companies for devices that
utilize smart cards to protect
government computers against hackers.
The devices, called low-cost encryp-
tion/authentication devices (LEAD's)
utilize a smart-card system in which
the microprocessors on the cards
contain a large amount of personal
data on the user, logon sequences
and security data which specifies
the level of access the user has.
The user would logon to the computer
system by inserting the card into a
reader attached to the terminal in use,
then enters his password when the
machine validates his card. Neat,
huh? These measures are designed
to screen out unauthorized users and
encrypt data passed across the Defense
Data Network (DDN).
It seems that the jingoistic blood is
starting to stir again. Our gov't
is openly threatening to bomb Libya..
..again! Threatening to violate
international law, and thumbing its
nose on world opinion, our gov't
prepares to once again commit a
terroristic act in an attempt to
stir up a faltering nationalism in
our country. But how many more innocent
Libyans must pay for this if it is
to be carried out?
