Feds bust DDoS 'Mafia'

interesting read

I would say what is more interesting is the author of that article a friend of mine, Kevin Poulsen. He did some elite phone phreaking years ago and is now a writer. (ie was charged with espionage, went on the run, and supported himself by rigging radio station contests using his phone skills. -hawaii vacation/porsche) He was also held without bail for about 5yrs. Him and Kevin Mitnick both got fucked by the government, Mitnick was held for 4yrs+ without a fucking trial/bail hearing.

Anyone into phreaking?




:thumbsup

Phreaking ... that's soooooooo old :P

Reminds me my 1800 box when I was 14 ...

not doing anything arround that anymore .

if I heard right, phone phreaks were the prereqisite to computer hackers?

Rain LOL, I know of him. Observers.net guy. I met him in New Orleans.

Do you know what "prereqisite" (prerequisite) means? :Graucho

Phone Phreaking was all the rage.


We used to use Applecat modems, they could naturally generate a lot of "control frequency tones".

It used to be, that the "sound"(Actually an electronic pulse converted for the phoneline) of a quarter dropping in to a payhone credited the next call with $.25. You could essentially continue to drop fake quarters on to a phone line, and proceed to use them up on a call.

You could ask generate tones that would knock an operator off the line. You'd esentially call in to a switchboard and get an operator. Your modem would generate a specific tone, and the operator would lose the line and you could then use it.

There's much more to it, but that's what I remember.

red boxing! =)

good idea with the ipod sig :thumbsup

I received one so far from apple with the gratis promotion and I am waiting on my blue mini but its backordered b/c of the demand for them apparently!


post 500! w00p!

Is that like the 2600 box? Aka red?

I know in the 70's when boxing was getting big, Captain Crunch taught Steve Wozniak how to make blue red and black boxes. Him and Steve Jobs would make em and slang em for extra cash then later started Apple Computers.

This guy fucked up when he didnt do his home work. They ended up hitting the wrong people.

that will get you noticed.. so much for low profile attacks.

hahah no shit! lame packet kiddies laff

I got to here before I zoned out and thought I should ask for the cliff's notes version

I had no idea that Cliff's did notes on this site. KOOL!

Who was that dude that held GFY ransom and then DDOSed it for a few days?

Good story. I like the name of the case Operation Cyberslam. very secretive. lol

I know EMP thats some crazy shit. He had some insane bandwith. I am surprised he got involved in that lame ass shit. :(

We just highjacked a 1800 box ... we had auto dialers trying the default password and we took it over . Was texas laboratory or something ...
