  -Disclamer-
 -------------

   Ya know, I don't give a damn what you do with this. If you go on a killing
spree and blame it on my newletter and _The Catcher In the Rye_ PHUCK you! I
just feel bad for your now unfed dog while you rot in prison... You can print
this shit out and wipe your ass with it. I DON'T CARE! EVERYONE has the
ability to preform rational thought if can read this! Don't be stupid or
egotistical and you won't get caught... Hopefully...
   Also, this is a NON-IGNORANCE publication. Which means I will not tolerate
prejudice in any of its disgusting forms, PERIOD! KKK and Neo-Nazi's in my
hood, PHUCK OFF!!! (Like you would know how to read anyway... Or make a habit
of it...)

   Note: "Just becuase you are paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get
            you!"
 

   -Introduction to Phreedom-
  ----------------------------

   Ok kiddies, heres da deal... This of course is going to be another
standard H/P/C/A/V/W zine. We ALL have to keep this shit going or Uncle Sam
is gonna put the smack down on our respective asses! PLEASE, send me anything
you can get your inquisitive little paws on and throw some documentation in
there in case I'm completely lost... Finished articals are even better! I
will of course praise you in the issue your information is featured in.
   BTW... officially, I cannot say that I would advocate software piracy or
other various methods of commiting fraud, etc... but... shit happens...
HOWEVER, _PLEASE_ help these guys/gals (especially the good ones) out and
send 'em pizza money...
   Y'all can reach us @:

      Email: [email protected]
              
             PHREEDOM5Hotmail.com

             (Please put PHREEDOM in the subject so I don't delete by
              accident... I get too much junk mail!)

   If I ever bother to set up a BBS, I'll let you know, but webpages are so
much easier.
   Currently, I, AMis, is the only full-time employee at PHREEDOM (except
maybe A.D., if he helps more). I will TRY to get the other members of
The Fifth involved but I need your help too! So write for me, or chill out
and be cool with us, and help our cause! If an interest is expressed, I
can arrange T-shirts so be made, so send in ideas!!! Thanks!

   -A Word To The Pro's-
  -----------------------

   I know, this newsletter is probably INCREDIBLY lame, but I just getting
started... ANY pity you take on me will of course be amply rewarded when I am
ruler of the known universe. Please, send any help you can on ANYTHING! Just
send me text, programs, documentation, tips, hardware, cash, mail order
brides... WHATEVER!!! I could REALLY use some scholarship money so I can get
my dual major in Computer Science and Computer Engineering...
   I realize, unlike some of my peers that the only way to get ahead in life,
or become a half-decent hacker, is through hard work, but I have not yet
developed my standard "I'm the big, bad hacker, bow before me mortal!"
complex, so any help is appreciated.
 

   -Software Reviews-
  --------------------

   This section is kind of a joke, but it is not meant to turn into a game
review section unless individuals share their own thoughts, in which case,
I will set up some sort of forum or something.
   Don't expect this in every issue, perhaps never again, depends on if my
readers really want it and if I ever think of it again.

-AMis' Thoughts-

-No dumbass, its not a K-rad website you can check out with yer AOL acount...
This software, written by Vernon D. Buerg, kicks ass for all your DOS-based
document type needs, especially if you don't want to phuck up some weird
phile on somebody's PC yer playing with but don't what it is or what format.
I included this great program (renamed to lst.com because theire is another
file called list on my computer) so you can use it to read this in DOS.

-AFAIK, you can only run this in Win95/Win NT, but here's da scoop. Unlike
DELETE which simply removes the first character from your FAT (or other
repective table, depending on your OS) and lets yer OS, like DOS or
Windows, write over those sections of your HD (or other media storage device)
when neccesary, BC Wipe actually goes and write 0's over the data several
times (7, correct me if I'm wrong) to further insure security. This program
is, or close to, US military standards. A must have for you Credit Card,
Calling Card, Scanner Codes, Illegal Software, etc. dealers.

-PKZip, PkUnzip, PkZipFix, etc. I use them all the time! PKZip.exe condenses
the file(s) and encrypts them if desired (probably not a great scheme
encyption scheme thought...). I am including PKUnzip with the original
diskette so you can unzip BCWipe and whatever else I can fit on a floppy.
These tools are another must have, there are others than the three I stated
so get thoose too and tell me about them.

-Steganography, the practice of hiding information in digital pictures,
sounds, or other media by spreading out the binary sequences in the LSB (the
Least Significant Bit, the last bit to you and me) of every pixel, etc.
These tools run in all flavors of Windows, too. Various encryption schemes
are built in for the truly paranoid. Very cool.

-This one is on the wish list of every male teenager I know... This graphics
utility runs in all flavors of Windows and can use almost every picture
format known to mankind, VERY helpful. I has scanning abilities too, but I
don't have a scanner... And to all of you who surf the web and go to, ahem,
special sites, this will open up yer goodies later if view yer cache
directory of your browser, or wherever you saved your stuph.
 

-AMis & A.D.'s (Access Denied) Thoughts-

-Fortres was programed to stop all of you curious little kiddies from playing
with any stand alone or networking PC. A little about this program -- It will
over ride any network settings and or pollices. It can stop you from running
programs on disk and any exe, bat, and/or com file on the local HD. Two ways
to load/test if that PC has it, is to hold down in this order (ctrl, shift,
then esc). This will load a password prompt. If you see a little number on
the password prompt box the back door is open. Each number has its own
password. If you have any one of the serial numbers for Fortress you can call
them up, give them that number, then ask them for the password for that back
door number. The last way to get into Fortres is hold shift and double click
on the Start button in Win95/WinNT. But the three button inkeys will work for
Windows 3.1. Fortres works in the following OS's: DOS, Windows 3.1, Win95, and
WinNT. If you encounter the progrm you have a sure way into that one PC. If
you would like to know more about Fortres and or how it works contact
The Fifth at [email protected] or [email protected]. If you would like
to share any info about networking security and or other security you can
contact A.D at that same E-mailing address... Later...

   -Rants-
  ---------

   I'm just getting over New Year's so I only have one rant right now. You
know what the phunny and scary thing about human nature and the whole damn
"hacker" genre is? When we were kids and teens, the majority of us were nerds
and dorks, and usually got the shit kicked out of us. BUT as soon as we start
excercising our newfound power and define ourselves as worthy and competant
persons, we are either are scorned, feared, misquoted, or hated! The bullies
don't like it when the punk ass kid down the street caused a foreclosure on
his shitty little house, huh? Doesn't think its so funny when his car is
covered in flamming napalm, eh? HAHAHA PhUcK YOU!!! The Fifth owns you bitch!
Ahem... Well, you get the idea, right?
 

   -Regarding My "Competition"-
  ------------------------------

   AFJ's (April Fool's Jokes, as April Fool's Day is the only official hacker
holiday) aside, competition should not exist between us. Our goals always
involved learning and implementing fasinating technology, and information
should be shared, SO... I don't want anybody thinking I'm above anyone else,
this is not the case, so, if you really want to learn all kinds of PHUN stuff,
check out the Information Liberation Front at WWW.ILF.net , THEY RULE! If you
need Phrack 48-50 I have those, so email me! I am trying to collect as much
information on the entire scene as possible, perhaps I will make an
encyclopedia-type deal out of it, elaborating on ILF's idea. So please, send
me anything you got, and ask me for anything and I'll to get it for you.
If you can prove yer not a NARC I can get you questionables too. But within
good taste you fucking child-molester's and rapists out there!!!
 

***EOF***
That's it fer now kiddies, so please, help me get this thing started!!!
