Well, as we log on the the National DDN (Defense Data Network) we pause to
notice some messages posted by our hero, "guy", in regard to the trial of a
couple of UCLA hackers who broke into the network a year ago........
(NOTE: Something went wrong with my terminal program's buffer,so I only got the
last couple of lines of the first message. It is a list of all the sites
penetrated by the hackers. Crystal is the one the Wargames kid got into)
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
ps The list of sites penetrated includes:
nosc-cc purdue rand-relay nrl-css/aic bbn-unix
mitre-bedford cornell nta-vax uwisc/crystal csnet-sh
ucb-vax/ingres/calder/medea/cad isi-vaxa/elvira/xorn
sri-unix ucla-ats/locus/cs/vax su-shasta/diablo/navajo
pps As of 8/31/83, we have been logging all activity originating at UCLA, and
going out thru FTP and TELNET. (ie, we 'bugged' ftp and telnet to record
all bits going/coming) We therefore have a pretty good record of what the
bandits were doing. (Yesterday I turned over 4000 (yes thousand) pages of
ftp/telnet logs to the DA) We have also been doing CSH commmand history
logging. If you would like more gory details about activity relating to
you site, please give me a call.

I just got off the phone with ..........., the deputy DA prosecuting
the case. He says that since we have talked with all the folks we expect
to be using, there's no problem in telling all the site administrators what's
been going on. If any new evidence/sites turn up, we're interested, but it is
doubtful that it would be used in this particular case.
Note especially that we're only filing charges against one of the two guys,
and if more info turns up on the second, that would be VERY useful. The two
key first names are 'ron' and 'kev', short for Ronald and Kevin. These guys
have a habit of changing their UNIX 'full name' to at least be their first
name, if not their last name as well. (they have been known to use a
fictitious surname on-line.) We're filing against Ronald, initially.
They were active at UCLA from August 1 through Sep 22, when they were served
search warrants, and their toys confiscated. One had a Commodore, the other
a TRS color computer. Both had cassettes, neither had floppys or printers.
Both had 300-baud modems. Both had UNIX manuals--one had a two volume set
from Bell system III; the other had the Yates book. One had also purchased
UCLA CSDept documents on using UNIX.
We know that a third person was involved, and that accesses to UCLA continued
briefly even after the equipment was confiscated. Other sites have also
noticed that some activity is still occurring.

ps
I suspect that this note, with excerpts from the others, are what you want
to publish to the liasons/administrators. Also note, that due to the wonder
of transparent gateways, ANY host accessible directly by ftp/telnet is a
potential victim. Not to mention anyone with a dial-in. Our bandits used
(fraudently) both MCI-type long-distance dialing codes, as well as dial-out
facilities from various penetrated systems.

WOW! The kids broke in with a TRS-80 Color Computer and a Commodore!
Anyway, those super-intelligent TAC guys left a tutorial on how to log on to
the system..... This should help any hackers interested in hacking out their
own P/W's & logon accounts........... Here it is........
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TACACS, the access control system for MILNET TAC's, requires you to
login before a connection to a host may be completed. The login process
is automatically started with the first @open (@o) command you issue.
There is also a new @logout (@l) command to logout. Otherwise, the
functioning of the TAC is essentially unaffected by the access control
system.
Here is a sample of the login dialog (the user input is underlined):
(a) PVC-TAC 111 #: 01 This is the last line of the TAC
herald, which the TAC uses to
identify itself. When you see the
herald, the TAC is ready for your
command.
(b) @o 26.2.0.8 The user inputs the command to
------------------- open a connection plus the
internet address of the host to
which he wishes to connect,
followed by a Carriage Return.
(c) TAC Userid: SAMPLE.LOGIN Here the TAC prompts the user for
-------------------- his Userid. The user enters his
ID exactly as shown as shown on
his TAC Access Card, followed by
a Carriage Return.
(d) Access Code: 22bgx4467 Again the TAC prompts the user,
----------------- who responds by entering his
Access Code as shown on his TAC
Access Card, followed by a
Carriage Return.
(e) Login OK The TAC validates the ID/Access
TCP trying...Open code and proceeds to open the
requested connection.
HELPFUL INFORMATION:
When entering your TAC Userid and Access Code:
- A carriage return terminates each input line and causes the next
prompt to appear.
- As you type in your TAC Userid and Access Code, it does not matter
whether you enter an alphabetic character in upper or lower case.
All lower case alphabetic characters echo as upper case for the
Userid.
- The Access Code is not echoed in full-duplex mode. An effort is
made to obscure the Access Code printed on hardcopy terminals in
half-duplex mode.
- You may edit what you type in by using the backspace (Control-H)
key to delete a single character.
- You may delete the entire line and restart by typing Control-U.
A new prompt will appear.
- While entering either the TAC Userid or Access Code, you may type
Control-C to abort the login process and return to the TAC command
mode. You must interrupt or complete the login process in order to
issue any TAC command.
IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH TAC LOGIN:
Should the login sequence fail (as indicated by the response "Bad
login"), examine your Access Card carefully to ensure that you are
entering the ID and Access Code correctly. Note that Access Codes never
contain a zero, a one, a "Q" or a "Z", since each of these characters
may be mistaken for another character. If you see what appears to be
one of these characters in your access code, it is really the letter "O"
(oh), or "G" (gee), the letter "L" (el), or the number "2" (two).
If you have followed all of the above steps as indicated, and if you
are sure you are entering your ID and Access Code correctly, and you
still cannot login, call the Network Information Center at (415)
859-3695 or (800) 235-3155 for help.
AFTER LOGGING IN:
Your TAC port will remain logged in as long as you have an open
connection. If you close the connection, you will have ten minutes in
which to reopen a connection without having to login again. If you do
not reopen a connection within ten minutes, the TAC will attempt to hang
up your port, and will automatically log you out.
WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED:
Always logout using the "@l" command. Typing "@r" has no effect on your
logged in status.
--------
If you now wish to login to the TAC, leave the TACNEWS program by
typing "quit" at the next prompt. This will return you to the TAC, and
you may then begin the login sequence with the "@o" command to the TAC.

Well, that's about it for this issue.... Maybe another file will be coming soon
, but who knows? Anyway, I'll show you how I (tried to) log off this very
advanced UNIX system. (Hah!)
