                             PREFACE

  Last year I was chosen to succeed the venerable K-Z--who had it 
in his mind to die, that is, to join Them in Venus, as one of the 
Seven Heirs of Atlantis, and I have been appointed to declare, so 
far  as  may be found possible,  the truth about that  mysterious 
lost land.  Of course,  no more than one seventh of the wisdom is 
ever confided to one of the Seven,  and the Seven meet in council 
but  once in every thirty-three years.  But its  preservation  is 
guaranteed  by the interlocked systems of "dreaming true" and  of 
"preparation of the antinomy". The former almost explains itself; 
the latter is almost inconceivable to normal man.  Its essence is 
to train a man to be anything by training him to be its opposite. 
At  the  end  of anything,  think they,  it turns out to  be  its 
opposite,  and that opposite is thus mastered without having been 
soiled  by  the labours of the student,  and  without  the  false 
impressions of early learning being left upon the mind.
   I myself,  for example, had unknowingly been trained to record 
these observations by the life of a butterfly. All my impressions 
came  clear  on  the soft wax of my brain;  I had  never  worried 
because  the scratch on the wax in no way resembled the sound  it 
represented. In other words, I observed perfectly because I never 
knew that I was observing. So, if you pay sufficient attention to 
your heart, you will make it palpitate.
   I accordingly proceed to a description of the country.

                               I.
                  OF THE PLAINS BENEATH ATLAS,
                      AND ITS SERVILE RACE*.

   Atlas  is the true name of this archipelago--continent  is  an 
altogether false term, for every 'house' or mountain peak was cut 
from its fellows by natural,  though often very narrow waterways. 
The  African  Atlas is a mere offshoot of the range.  It was  the 
true  Atlas  that supported the ancient world by  its  moral  and 
magical strength,  and hence the name of the fabled globe-bearer. 
The  root  is the Lemurian 'Tla' or 'Tlas',  black,  for  reasons 
which  will  appear in due course.  'A' is the  feminine  prefix, 
derived  from  the shape of the mouth when  uttering  the  sound. 
'Black  woman' is therefore as near a translation as one can give 
in English; the Latin has a closer equivalent.
   The  mountains are cut off,  not only from each other  by  the 
channels of the sea,  but from the plains at their feet by cliffs 
naturally  or  artificially smoothed and undercut  for  at  least 
thirty feet on every side in order to make access impossible.
   These  plains  had been made flat by  generations  of  labour. 
Vines and fruit-trees growing only on the upper slopes, they were 
devoted  principally  to  corn,  and to grass  pastures  for  the 
amphibian  herds of Atlas.  This corn was of a kind now  unknown, 
flourishing  in sea-water,  and the periodical flood-tides served 
the same purpose as the Nile in Egypt.  Enormous floating  stages 
of  spongy rock--no trees of any kind grew anywhere on the plains 
so wood was unknown--supported the villages. These were inhabited 
by a type of man similar to the modern Caucasian race.  They were 
not  permitted to use any of the food of their  masters,  neither 
the corn, nor the amphibians, nor the vast supplies of shellfish, 
but  were  fed by what they called  "bread  from  heaven",  which 
indeed  came  down from the mountains,  being the whole of  their 
refuse of every kind.  The whole population was put to  perpetual 
hard labour. The young and active tended the amphibians, grew the 
corn,  collected the shell-fish, gathered the "bread from heaven" 
for their elders,  and were compelled to reproduce their kind. At 
twenty they were considered strong enough for the factory,  where 
they  worked in gangs on a machine combining the features of  our 
pump  and  treadmill for sixteen hours of  the  twentyfour.  This 
machine  supplied  Atlas with its 'ZRO'* or 'power',  of which  I 
shall speak presently. Any worker showing even temporary weakness 
was transferred to the phosphorus works, where he was sure to die 
within a few months.  Phosphorus was a prime necessity of  Atlas; 
however,  it  was not used in its red or yellow forms,  but in  a 
third  allotrope,  a blue-black or rather violet-black substance, 
only  known in powder finer than precipitated gold,  harder  than 
diamond,  eleven  times  heavier than  yellow  phosphorus,  quite 
incombustible,  and  so shockingly poisonous that,  in  spite  of 
every  precaution,  an ounce of it cost the lives (on an average) 
of  some  two hundred and fifty men.  Of its properties  I  shall 
speak  later.
   The  people  were left in utmost slavery and ignorance by  the 
wise counsel of the first of the philosophers of Atlas,  who  had 
written:  "An  empty  brain  is  a threat  to  Society."  He  had 
consequently  instituted a system of mental  culture,  comprising 
two parts:

          1.  As a basis, a mass of useless disconnected facts.
          2.  A superstructure of lies.

   Part  1 was compulsory;  the people then took Part  2  without 
protest.*
   The  language of the plains was simple but profuse.  They  had 
few nouns and fewer verbs. 'To work again' (there was no word for 
'to  work' simply),  'to eat again',  'to break the law' (no word 
for 'to break the law again'),  'to come from without',  'to find 
light'  (i.e.  to go to the phosphorus factory) were  almost  the 
only  verbs used by adults.  The young men and women had a  verb-
language  yet  simpler,  and  of degraded  coarseness.  All  had, 
however,  an  extraordinary wealth of adjectives,  most  of  them 
meaningless,  as attached to no noun ideas,  and a great quantity 
of abstract nouns such as 'Liberty', 'Progress', without which no 
refined  inhabitant could consider a sentence complete.  He would 
introduce  them into a discussion on the most material  subjects. 
"The immoral snub-nose",  "the unprogressive teeth",  "lascivious 
music",  "reactionary  eyebrows"--such were phrases  familiar  to 
all.  "To eat again,  to sleep again,  to work again, to find the 
light--that is Liberty, that is Progress" was a proverb common in 
every mouth.
   The  religion of the people was Protestant Christianity in all 
essentials,  but  with an even closer dependence upon  God.  They 
asserted  its  formulae,  without attaching any  meaning  to  the 
words,  in a manner both reverent and passionate. Sexual life was 
entirely  forbidden  to  the workers,  a single  breach  implying 
relegation to the phosphorus works.
   In  every  field was,  however,  an enormous tablet  of  rock, 
carved  on one side with a representation of the three stages  of 
life:  the fields, the labour mill, the factory; and on the other 
side  with these words:  "To enter Atlas,  fly." Beneath this  an 
elaborate  series of graphic pictures showed how to  acquire  the 
art of flying.  During all the generations of Atlas,  not one man 
had been known to take advantage of these instructions.
   The principal fear of the populace was a variation of any kind 
from routine.  For any such the people had one word only,  though 
this   word  changed  its  annotation  in  different   centuries. 
'Witchcraft',  'Heresy', 'Madness', 'Bad Form', 'Sex-Perversion', 
'Black Magic' were its principal shapes in the last four thousand 
years of the dominion of Atlas.
   Sneezing, idleness, smiling, were regarded as premonitory. Any 
cessation  from speech,  even for a moment to  take  breath,  was 
considered highly dangerous.  The wish to be alone was worse than 
all;  the  delinquent would be seized by his fellows,  and either 
killed  outright  or thrust into the compound of  the  phosphorus 
factory, from which there was no egress.
   The  habits of the people were  incredibly  disgusting.  Their 
principal  relaxations were art,  music and the drama,  in  which 
they  could  show  achievement hardly inferior to that  of  Henry 
Arthur Jones,  Pinero,  Lehar,  George Dance,  Luke  Fildes,  and 
Thomas Sidney Cooper.
  Of  medicine they were happily ignorant.  The outdoor  life  in 
that  equable  climate bred strong youths and  maidens,  and  the 
first  symptoms  of  illness in a worker was held to  impair  his 
efficiency  and qualify him for the  phosphorous  factory.  Wages 
were  permanently  high,  and as there were no merchants even  of 
alcohol,  whose  use  was  forbidden,  every man  saved  all  his 
earnings,  and died rich.  At his death his savings went back  to 
the  community.  Taxation was consequently  unnecessary.  Clothes 
were unnecessary and unknown, and the 'bread from heaven' was the 
"free gift of God".  The dead were thrown to the amphibians. Each 
man  built  his  own  shelter of the  rough  stone  sponge  which 
abounded.  The  word 'house' was used only in Atlas;  the servile 
race  called its huts 'Hloklost' (equivalent to the English  word 
'home').  Discontent  was  absolutely unknown.  It had  not  been 
considered necessary to prohibit traffic with foreign  countries, 
as  the inhabitants of such were esteemed barbarians.  Had a ship 
landed  men,  they would have been murdered to a  man,  supposing 
that  Atlas  had permitted any approach to its  shores.  That  it 
hindered  such,  and  by  infallible  means,  was  due  to  other 
considerations,   whose  nature  will  form  the  subject  of   a 
subsequent chapter.
   This  then is the nature of the plains beneath Atlas,  and the 
character of the servile race.

                               II.
                      OF THE RACE OF ATLAS

   In  the  city or 'house' which was formed from  the  crest  of 
every  mountain,  dwelt a race not greatly superior in height  to 
our own,  but of vaster frame.  The bulk and strength of the bear 
is  not  inappropriate  as a simile for the  lower  classes;  the 
higher had the enormous chest and shoulders and the lean haunches 
of  the  lion.  This  strength gave an  infallible  beauty,  made 
monstrous  by  their most inexorable law,  that every  child  who 
developed  no special feature in the first seven years should  be 
sacrificed to the Gods.  This special feature might be a nose  of 
prodigious size, hands and wrists of gigantic strength, a gorilla 
jaw,  an elephant ear--or any of these might entitle its owner to 
life:*  for in all such variations from the normal they perceived 
the possibility of a development of the race.  Men and women were 
hairy as the ourang-outang and all were closely shaven from  head 
to  foot.  It had been found that this practice developed tactile 
sensibility.  It was also done in reverence to the 'Living Atla', 
of which more in its place.
   The  lower  class  were few in number.  Its  function  was  to 
superintend the servile race,  to bring the food of the  children 
to  the  banqueting-hall,  to remove the same,  to attend to  the 
disposition of the 'light-screens',  to ensure the continuance of 
the race by the begetting, bearing and nourishing of the children.
   The  priestly class was concerned with the further preparation 
of  the Zro supplied by the labour-mills,  and  its  impregnation 
with  phosphorus.  This  class had much  leisure  for  'work',  a 
subject to be explained later.
   The  High  Priests  and High Priestesses  were  restricted  in 
number to eleven times thirty-three in any one 'house'.  To  them 
were  entrusted  the  final secrets of Atlas,  and  to  them  was 
confided  the conduct of the experiments in which every will  was 
bound up.*
   The colour of the Atlanteans was very various, though the hair 
was invariably of a fiery chestnut with bluish  reflections.  One 
might see women whiter than Aphrodite, others tawny as Cleopatra, 
others  yellow as Tu-Chi,  others of a strange,  subtle blue like 
the  tattooed faces of Chin women,  others again red  as  copper. 
Green  was  however a prohibited hue for women,  and red was  not 
liked in men.  Violet was rare,  but highly prized,  and children 
born   of  that  colour  were  specially  reared  by   the   High 
Priestesses.
   However,  in one part of the body all the women were perfectly 
black with a blackness no negro can equal; from this circumstance 
comes  the name Atlas.  It is absurdly attributed by some authors 
to  the deposit of excess of phosphorus in the Zro.  I need  only 
point  out  that the mark existed long before  the  discovery  of 
black  phosphorus.  It is evidently a racial stigma.  It was  the 
birth  of a girl child without this mark which raised her  mother 
to  the rank of goddess,  and ended the terrestrial adventure  of 
the Atlanteans, as will presently appear.
   Of  the ethics of this people little need be said.  Their word 
for  'right' is 'phph' made by blowing with the jaw drawn sharply 
across from left to right,  thus meaning 'a spiral life  contrary 
to  the  course  of the sun'.  We may assume  it  as  'contrary'. 
"Whatever is, is wrong" seems to have been their first principle. 
Legs  were 'wrong' because they only carry you five miles in  the 
hour:  let us refuse to walk; let us ride horseback. So the horse 
is 'wrong' compared to the train and the motor-car; and these are 
'wrong'  to  the  aeroplane.  If speed had been  the  Atlantean's 
object,  he  would have thought aeroplanes 'wrong' and  all  else 
too, so long as the speed of light was not surpassed by him.
   Curious  survivals  of  these  laws are found  in  the  Jewish 
transcript of the Egyptian code,  which they, being a slave race, 
interpreted in the reverse manner.
   "Thou  shalt not make any graven image." Every male  child  on 
attaining  manhood,  had a graven image given him to  worship,  a 
miracle-working  image,  whose principle exploits he would tattoo 
upon it.
   "Remember  the  Sabbath Day and keep it holy."  The  Atlantean 
kept  one  day  in seven for all purposes  unconnected  with  his 
principle task.
   "Thou  shalt  not  commit  adultery."  Though  the  Atlanteans 
married, intercourse with the wife was the only act forbidden.
   "Honour  thy  father and thy mother." On  the  contrary,  they 
worshipped their children,  as if to say: "This is the God whom I 
have made in my own likeness."
   Similarly,  there is one exception and one only to the rule of 
silence.  It is the utterance of the 'Name' which it is death  to 
pronounce.  This  word  was  constantly in their  mouths;  it  is 
'Zcrra', a sort of venomous throat-gargling.  Hence, possibly the 
Gaelic  'Scurr' 'speak',  English 'Scaur' or 'Scar' in  Yorkshire 
and the Pennines.  'Zcrra' is also the name of the 'High  House', 
and of the graven image referred to above.
   Others   traces   may  be  found  in   folklore;   some   mere 
superstitions.   Thus  the  correct  number  for  a  banquet  was 
thirteen, because if there were only one more sign in the Zodiac, 
the  year would be a month longer,  and one would have more  time 
'for   work'.   This  is  probably  a  debased  Egyptian  notion. 
Atlanteans  knew  better than anyone that the Zodiac is  only  an 
arbitrary division. Still it may be laid down that the impossible 
never  daunted Atlas.  If one said,  "Two and two make Four"  his 
thought would be "Yes, damn it!"*
   I now explain the language of Atlas. The third and greatest of 
their  philosophers  saw that speech had wrought more  harm  than 
good,  and  he consequently instituted a peculiar rite.  Two  men 
were chosen by lot to preserve the language,  which,  by the way, 
consisted  of  monosyllables only,  two hundred and  fourteen  in 
number,  to  each  of which was attached a  diacritical  gesture, 
usually ideographic.
   Thus  'wrong' is given as 'phph' moving the jaw from right  to 
left.  Wiping  the brown with 'phph' means 'hot',  hollowing  the 
hands  over the mouth 'fire',  striking the throat 'to  die;'  so 
that  each  'radicle' may have hundreds  of  gesture-derivatives. 
Grammar,  by the way,  hardly existed,  the quick apprehension of 
the Atlanteans rendering it unnecessary.
   These  two  men then departed to a cavern on the side  of  the 
mountain  just  above  the  cliff,  and there  for  a  year  they 
remained,  speaking the language and carving it symbolically upon 
the  rock.  At  the end of the year they returned;  the elder  is 
sacrificed and the younger returns with a volunteer,  usually one 
who  wishes  to expiate a fault,  and teaches him  the  language. 
During his visit he observes whether any new thing needs a  name, 
and  if  so  he invents it,  and adds it to  the  language.  This 
process  continued to the end.  The rest of the people  abandoned 
altogether the use of speech, only a few years' practice enabling 
them to dispense with the radicle. They then sought to do without 
gesture,  and in eight generations the difficulty was  conquered, 
and  telepathy* established.  Research then devoted itself to the 
task of doing without thought;  this will be discussed in  detail 
in the proper place.  There was also a 'listener',  three men who 
took  turns  to  sit upon the highest  peak,  above  the  'light-
screens',  and  whose duty it was to give the alarm if any  noise 
disturbed  Atlas.  On their report that High Priest charged  with 
active governorship would take steps to ascertain and destroy the 
cause.
   The 'light-screens' spoken of were a contrivance of laminae of 
a  certain  spar  such that the light and heat of  the  sun  were 
completely  cut  off,  not  by  opacity,  but  by  what  we  call 
'interference'.  In this way other subtle rays of the sun entered 
the  'house',  these rays being supposed to be necessary to life. 
These matters were the subjects of the deepest controversy.  Some 
held  that  these rays themselves were injurious  and  should  be 
excluded.  Others considered that the light-screens should be put 
in position during moonlight,  instead of being opened at sunset, 
as was the custom.  This, however, was never attempted, the great 
mass of the people being devoted to the moon.  Others wished full 
sunlight, the aim of Atlas being (they thought) to reach the sun. 
But  this theory contradicted the prime axiom of attaining things 
through their opposites,  and was only held by the lower classes, 
who were not initiated into this doctrine.
   The 'houses' of Atlas were carved from the living rock by  the 
action of Zro in its seventh precipitation. Enormously solid, the 
walls  were lofty and smoother than glass,  though the  pavements 
were  rough and broken almost everywhere for a reason which I  am 
not  permitted to disclose.  The passages were invariably narrow, 
so that two persons could never pass each other. When two met, it 
was  the  law to greet by joining in 'work' and then  going  away 
together  on  their separate errands,  or passing one  above  the 
other.  This was done purposely, so as to remind every man of his 
duty to Atlas on every occasion on which he might meet a  fellow-
citizen.
   The  Banqueting-Hall  of the children was usually very  large. 
The furniture, which had been brought by the first colonists, and 
gradually  disused by adults,  never needed repair.  A vast  open 
doorway  facing  North  opened  on the  mountainside  on  to  the 
vineyards  and orchards,  the meadows and gardens,  in which  the 
children  passed  their  time.  Suckled by the mother  for  three 
months only, the child was then already able to nourish itself on 
the bread and wine,  and on the flesh of the amphibious herds, of 
which there were several kinds;  one a piglike animal with  flesh 
resembling  wild  duck,  another  a sort of amatee  tasting  like 
salmon,  its  fat  being somewhat like caviar in  everything  but 
texture,  and a sure specific for any of childhood's troubles.  A 
third, an ancestor of our hippopotamus, was really tamed, and was 
employed  by the serviles for preparing the ground for the  corn, 
trampling  through the fields while they were covered  with  sea-
water,  and thus leaving deep holes in which the seeds were cast. 
Its flesh was not unlike bear,  but more delicate.  Notable, too, 
was  the great quantity of turtle;  also the giant  oysters,  the 
huge  deep  sea  crabs,  a  kind of octopus whose  flesh  made  a 
nutritious and elegant soup, and innumerable shell-fish, added to 
the  table.  The waterways were haunted by shoals of a small  and 
poisonous  fish,* whose bite was immediate death to man,  a  fact 
which  altogether  cut off communication between one  island  and 
another  except  by air,  as  the  hippopotamus-animal,  although 
immune to its bite, was unable to swim.
   Of the sleeping chambers I shall tell more particularly in the 
course of my remarks on Zro.

                 OF THE AIM OF THE MAGICIANS OF
                ATLAS: OF ZRO; AND ITS PROPERTIES
                     AND USES: OF THAT WHICH
                    COMBINED WITH IT: AND OF
                        BLACK PHOSPHORUS.

   It  was the most ancient tradition of the Atlantean  magicians 
that  they  were  the survivors of a race  inhabiting  a  country 
called Lemuria, of which the South Pacific archipelago may be the 
remains.  These Lemurians had, they held, built up a civilization 
equal,   if   not   superior  to  their  own;   but   through   a 
misunderstanding of magical law--some said the 2nd, some the 8dhl 
so

There are also people breaking into systems they have no right to
access...and it doesn't matter why they do it or whether they harm
anything, it is wrong and illegal.  There are people committing fraud
against banks, credit card companies, and telecommunications companies --
against all of us.  There are instances of industrial and political
espionage going on.  There are computer-run racist hate groups, kiddie porn
rings, and conspiracies to commit all kinds of awful things.

How would you write the laws so that illegal activity could be prosecuted
appropriately without endangering the rights of the innocent?  Instead of
being critical, let's see some of you "authorities" apply your expertise to
something constructive!  Suggest how we can write good laws that work but
can't be abused.  This would be a good forum for that.  If we come up with
some good suggestions, I suspect we could even get them into more
appropriate forums.  But we have to have reasonable ideas, first, not
simply cries of "foul" that fail to acknowledge that there are real
criminals out there amongst the rest of us.

Subject: Mitch Kapor and "Sun Devil"


It's real disturbing to read the comments that have been posted recently on
TELECOM Digest concerning Operation Sun Devil and Mitch Kapor's
involvement.  While I think the moderator has been chastised sufficiently,
there are still a few remarks I want to make.

First of all, I understand the point he was trying to get across. But I
think he shot from the hip without rationalizing his point first, thereby
leaving many of us in a kind of stunned silence. If I understand it
correctly, the argument is: Kapor says he wants to help people that the
Moderator believes are thieves. Therefore, using that logic, it's okay to
steal from Kapor.

Well, I don't agree. Obviously, Kapor DOESN'T believe these people are
criminals. Even if one or two of them ARE criminals, he is concerned with
all of the innocent bystanders that are being victimized here.  And make no
mistake about that - there are many innocent bystanders here. I've spoken
to quite a few of them. Steve Jackson, Craig Neidorf, the friends and
families of people who've had armed agents of the federal government storm
into their homes and offices. It's a very frightening scenario - one that
I've been through myself.  And when it happens there are permanent scars
and a fear that never quite leaves.  For drug dealers, murderers, hardened
criminals, it's an acceptable price in my view. But a 14 year old kid who
doesn't know when to stop exploring a computer system? Let's get real. Do
we really want to mess up someone's life just to send a message?

I've been a hacker for a good part of my life. Years ago, I was what you
would call an "active" hacker, that is, I wandered about on computer
systems and explored. Throughout it all, I knew it would be wrong to mess
up data or do something that would cause harm to a system. I was taught to
respect tangible objects; extending that to encompass intangible objects
was not very hard to do. And most, if not all, of the people I explored
with felt the same way. Nobody sold their knowledge. The only profit we got
was an education that far surpassed any computer class or manual.

Eventually, though, I was caught. But fortunately for me, the witch-hunt
mentality hadn't caught on yet. I cooperated with the authorities,
explained how the systems I used were flawed, and proved that there was no
harm done. I had to pay for the computer time I used and if I stayed out of
trouble, I would have no criminal record. They didn't crush my spirit. And
the computers I used became more secure.  Except for the fear and
intimidation that occurred during my series of raids, I think I was dealt
with fairly.

Now I publish a hacker magazine. And in a way, it's an extension of that
experience. The hackers are able to learn all about many different computer
and phone systems. And those running the systems, IF THEY ARE SMART, listen
to what is being said and learn valuable lessons before it's too late.
Because sooner or later, someone will figure out a way to get in. And you'd
better hope it's a hacker who can help you figure out ways to improve the
system and not an ex-employee with a monumental grudge.

In all fairness, I've been hacked myself. Someone figured out a way to
break the code for my answering machine once. Sure, I was angry -- at the
company.  They had no conception of what security was. I bought a new
machine from a different company, but not before letting a lot of people
know EXACTLY what happened. And I've had people figure out my calling card
numbers. This gave me firsthand knowledge of the ineptitude of the phone
companies. And I used to think they understood their own field! My point
is: you're only a victim if you refuse to learn. If I do something stupid
like empty my china cabinet on the front lawn and leave it there for three
weeks, I don't think many people will feel sympathetic if it doesn't quite
work out. And I don't think we should be sympathetic towards companies and
organizations that obviously don't know the first thing about security and
very often are entrusted with important data.

The oldest hacker analogy is the
walking-in-through-the-front-door-and-rummaging-through-my-personal-belongings
one. I believe the Moderator recently asked a critic if he would leave his
door unlocked so he could drop in and rummage. The one fact that always
seems to be missed with this analogy is that an individual's belongings are
just not interesting to someone who simply wants to learn. But they ARE
interesting to someone who wants to steal. A big corporation's computer
system is not interesting to someone who wants to steal, UNLESS they have
very specific knowledge as to how to do this (which eliminates the hacker
aspect). But that system is a treasure trove for those interested in
LEARNING. To those that insist on using this old analogy, I say at least be
consistent. You wouldn't threaten somebody with 30 years in jail for taking
something from a house. What's especially ironic is that your personal
belongings are probably much more secure than the data in the nation's
largest computer systems!

When you refer to hacking as "burglary and theft", as the Moderator
frequently does, it becomes easy to think of these people as hardened
criminals. But it's just not the case. I don't know any burglars or
thieves, yet I hang out with an awful lot of hackers. It serves a definite
purpose to blur the distinction, just as pro-democracy demonstrators are
referred to as rioters by nervous leaders. Those who have staked a claim in
the industry fear that the hackers will reveal vulnerabilities in their
systems that they would just as soon forget about. It would have been very
easy for Mitch Kapor to join the bandwagon on this. The fact that he didn't
tells me something about his character. And he's not the only one.

Since we published what was, to the best of my knowledge, the first
pro-hacker article on all of these raids, we've been startled by the
intensity of the feedback we've gotten. A lot of people are angry, upset,
and frightened by what the Secret Service is doing. They're speaking out
and communicating their outrage to other people who we could never have
reached. And they've apparently had these feelings for some time. Is this
the anti-government bias our Moderator accused another writer of harboring?
Hardly. This is America at its finest.

Date:         Sun, 01 Jul 90 15:59:43 EDT
From:         Michael Rosen 
Subject:      Re: articles
To:           Computer Underground Digest 


---------------
%The following was excerpted from:  Computerworld, 6/25/90 (pp. 1,6).  The
author is Michael Alexander (CW Staff).%
---------------

"...civil libertarians asserted last week that authorities have crossed the
bounds of the Constitution in carrying out searches..

...Mitch Kapor, founder of Lotus Development Corp. and On Technology, Inc.,
and John Barlow an author and lyricist for the Grateful Dead, will announce
the official launch of a computer hacker defense team "within a few weeks,"
as a result of the government's crackdown on computer crime, Kapor said
last week.

Two Law firms, Rabinowitz Boudin Standard Krinsky & Lieberman in New York
and Silverglate Gertner Fine & Good in Boston, are the other members of the
planned hacker defense team.

...Government agents have intimidated some hackers who sought legal counsel
and stampeded over their constitutional rights to free speech by illegally
seizing computers used to operate bulletin-board systems, said Terry Gross,
an attorney at Rabinowitz Boudin Standard Krinsky & Lieberman.  The firm is
noted for its expertise in handling cases that it believes are deliberate
attacks on constitutional rights.  For example, it defended Daniel Ellsberg
in the celebrated Pentagon Papers case.

Computerworld learned last week that Rabinowitz Boudin Standard Krinsky &
Lieberman is already providing legal assistance in the defence of Craig
Neidorf, a 20-year-old hacker and newsletter editor who has been indicted
in Chicago in a scheme to steal Bellsouth Corp. documentation for an
enhanced 911 emergency telephone system.

"I personally asked the attorneys to provide some informal advice in these
matters, and that is obviously a logical precursor to more formal
involvment," Kapor said in an interview.

The defense team is in the midst of setting up a formal structure and
strategy for the organization, Kapor said.  Asked if the group will provide
funds to pay legal fees for computer hackers, Kapor replied: "I contemplate
doing that very strongly, but none of these decisions are final or public."

..."The government is overreacting," said Sheldon Zenner, Neidorf's
attorney and a member of the katten Muchin & Zavis law firm in Chicago.
"They are grappling with legitimate concerns of computer crime but are
trampling constitutional rights at the same time."

Zenner said that he will file First Amendment motions this week on his
client's behalf.  Neidorf was slated to go to trial in federal district
court in Chicago last week, but the trial was rescheduled for next month to
allow the defense to file new motions.

"Craig is a 20-year-old nebish, so they don't mind going after him," Zenner
said.  "They didn't think that it would raise the same issues as if they
went after _The New York Times_ or _The Wall Street Journal_."

Neidorf, who recently completed his junior year at the University of
Missouri, is a co-editor of "Phrack," a newsletter for computer hackers.
He has admitted to publishing an edited version of 911 documentation but
contended that he did not know the information had been stolen.

Federal and state law enforcers have maintained that it is necessary to
seize a computer to evaluate its contents for evidence of a crime, not to
block publication of any information on a bulletin board.

"I don't see this as a First Amendment issue," said Kirk Tabbey, a Michigan
assistant prosecuting attorney and coordinating legal counsel to the
Michigan Computer Crime Task Force.

"It is an intrusion only as far as we need to prove the crime," Tabbey
said.  "You try to take only what you need because you have to comply with
the Fourth Amendment, which limits illegal searches and seizures."

Steve Jackson, founder of Steve Jackson Games in Austin, Texas, said he
thinks otherwise.  In March, the Secret Service raided his office and the
home of an employee and seized computers that it said contained a "handbok
on computer crime," Jackson said.  The handbook was in fact a game, he
said."

in board?  What procedures does the Secret
 Service have for obtaining information from computer bulletin
 boards or networks?  Please list the occasions where
 information has been obtained since January 1988, including
 the identity of the bulletin boards or networks,  the type of
 information obtained,   and how that information was obtained
 (was it downloaded, for example).

 Response:

 Yes, during the course of several investigations, the U. S.
 Secret Service has "down loaded" information from computer
 bulletin boards.  A review of information gained in this manner
 (in an undercover capacity after being granted access to the
 system by it's system administrator)  is performed in order to
 determine whether or not that bulletin board is being used to
 traffic in unauthorized access codes or to gather other
 information of a criminal intelligence nature.  At all times,
 our methods are in keeping with the procedures as outlined in
 the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA).

 If a commercial network was suspected of containing
 information concerning a criminal activity, we would obtain
 the proper court order to obtain this information in keeping
 with the ECPA.

 The U. S. Secret Service does not maintain a record  of the
 bulletin boards we have accessed.

 Question 6:

 Does the Secret Service employ, or is it considering employing,
 any system or program that could automatically review the
 contents of a computer file, scan the file for key items,
 phrases or data elements, and flag them or recommend further
 investigative action?  If so, what is the status of any such
 system.  Please describe this system and research being
 conducted to develop it.

 Response:

 The Secret  Service has pioneered the concept of a Computer
 Diagnostic Center (CDC)  to facilitate the review and
 evaluation of electronically stored information.  To streamline
 the tedious task of reviewing thousands of files per
 investigation, we have gathered both hardware and software
 tools to assist our search of files for specific information or
 characteristics.  Almost all of these products are
 commercially  developed products and are available to the
 public.  It is conceivable that an artificial intelligence process
 may someday be developed and have application to this law
 enforcement function but we are unaware if such a system is
 being developed.

 The process of evaluating the information and making
 recommendations for further investigative action is currently
 a manual one at our CDC.  We process thousands of computer
 disks annually as well as review evidence contained in other
 types of storage devices (tapes, hard drives, etc.).   We are
 constantly seeking  ways to enhance our investigative mission.
 The development of high tech resources like the CDC saved
 investigative manhours and assist in the detection  of criminal
 activity.

 Again, thank you for your interest.  Should you have any further
 questions, we will be happy to address them.

                                                 Sincerely,
                                                 /s/
                                                 John R.  Simpson, Director
