Subject: Re: Locks
BADCOFFEE@AOL,
Locks are more psychological: the more you pay, the securer you feel!
I had the same situation where everything I touched just sprung open. I
found out that much more $ gave a slightly higer quality of lock. Try the
Medico (the one with the sidebar and angled pins). Have you every thought
how to pick magnetic locks? Then there are those round, tube-type locks
(rim cylinder) like use on vending machines and some padlocks. There are
also the locks that the key consists of a flat "bar" which has multiple
holes (or pits) of various depths and locations on both its sides (not
edges).
For lots of practice, go to a scrap or junk yard etc., they usually have
many types and are bought per their weight in iron.

The chances of that working are next to nil. When a modem connects, as you
may hear, the two modems "handshake" they talk to each other and establish
their speed, error correction, etc. If you were to just "break-in" on the
line in with two modems transferring data, it just wouldn't work. I even
doubt that it would work if the modem you were using was "online" when the
two modems connected. Another problem is that your modem would have to
create no LIne noise. Modems are sensitive pieces of equipment that can't
stad _a lot_ of noise. Most taps would creat that noise, therefore
preventing the Modems to connect at top speed. Hopefully that answers your
question.
Also, I remember a debate on Spamming and how to counter attack. I think
someone said to look at the header, etc, to get the sender, then a whois
command, etc? I have found a program that will do this automatically.

relativley inexpensive technology, so says my good source. My sole purpose
for building this system is for countersurveillance purposes, in order to show my clients the impossible possible as regards to who can read their
sensitive,classified,information on the system\s networks etc. So cutting to
the chase, as soon as i acquire this info and begin to build my Van eck
Tempest system and i have tested it to the point of success,then i will GIVE

The "Spy Shops" were busted for illegally importing several types of electronic eavesdropping devices from Japan. They openly and unlawfully sold these devices over the counter and by mail order in this country. They also were charged with falsifying US Customs records as to type of merchandise and value...

"babies"....they have me baffled....and I love it.
Also: In reference to a post from an individual on Radio Shack cordless
mic's. Forget the base thatit comes with...use a scanner to listen to
frequency (forgot what it was, e-mail me and I'll find it for you).....hook
an amp to the scanner (kerioke works well..cause it has recording capability)
to boast things up a bit....and you got yourself an inexpensive little system
and the range is not too bad. Beauty is...everything could run off batteries
or plug into your vehicle....so the "baggage", with exception to the 3x2"
transmitter....is not a problem. :-) Just my input on an inexpensive
transmitting and receiving system. See if Radio shack sells these
transmitters without the base and it should cost you less than $25 bucks for
the transmitter, If not...the base and transmitter costs about $60 bucks)

Subject: Keeping equipment Cool?
I have recently set up a 'portable' surveillance unit, consisting
of a 12v DC camera with zoom, 12v DC Time lapse recorder, and
a power supply in the form of a heavy duty truck battery.
The camera is hidden in a sedan 'looking out a window',
the power supply and recorder are in the boot of the vehicle.
The operating temperature for the recorder is between 0 & 40
degree's celcius. The system is used in Australia where
the 'outside' temperature is between 15 and 35 degree celcius.
Obviously the inside of the vehicle is much warmer.
I am interested in any ideas as to how I can keep the recorder
cool.. Or at least well within it's operating temperature.
I have tried using a 12v DC fan, this however attracted attention
by passers by because of the 'hum'..
HELP.

+++Moderator's Note+++
Think about those reusable chemical cold packs you freeze, use and refreeze...
they last several hours... you might also consider a metallic box similiar to a "cooler" that is filled with dry ice... this will lower the trunk (boot) temperature (also van interiors if circulated and vented properly).

Subject: Lock picking
Time to time...I'll pop a new one open and I'll pass along the how's and
traits....
Briefcase combo locks- Each combo is really a disk with a notch in it. When
all the notches on the disk are in line with the position of the latch
botton...the latch presses fully to the direction of the combo's and the lock
opens. ok..now we know how it works.
Here's how to manipulate it: Press the latch botton reasonably hard in the
direction of the combo's. The dial closest to the latch button is hereby #1.
Start with dial one on zero. Press firmly...and spin dial 2 randomly. No
pressure on dial 2? Great...dial ONE goes to the next number. Still no
pressure on number 2? Go to next number on dial 1. Keep this up till you
feel resistance on dial 2. When you feel resistance..this means that the pin
on the latch botton is Now going THROUGH the notch in the first dial...and
you got that one solved. Do this again for dial 2. When that is solved...just
try each of the 10 numbers for dial 3 and POP...its open.
Now....when it's open, press the latch botton to the direction of the
dials...and spin the heck out of all the dials....This will change the
combo's and someone is about to have a real bad day.
Note: The more pressure you put on the latch botton....the easier it it to
feel resistance. Use a lighter....cause your thumb will hurt. This is a
quick process and should take no longer than 30 seconds. If you have any
problems with any dials on the ZERO....go the other way.
Let me know if this does not work on your briefcase....for I am unaware of
every style of briefcase lock.
be good

It works perfectly fine, but remember that the other two lines can or
may be in use for a second line. So to make it work you must be
absolutely suer to separate + / - otherwise it will shortsircut.

Nupz, you can't! You have to use a "switch-box" between the line and the
mic input. (Phone-lines are 24V-48V depending on what country you are in
but the mic input power is only 1,5V-4V)

No promises as to the validity of the information, but the best
place to check might be a web or ftp site devoted to 'carding' or
illegal activities related to credit cards. This file might help:
http://www.ilf.net/Toast/files/CC/ccbanks.zip
There are a lot of other carding files on that site which could
help, as well. There's a program called CreditMaster which gives bank
info, I believe.
Hope you find what you need,

Subject: The need for free legal software
The need for free legal software for us people as members of the "List" in
the Surveillance and investigative business would be a welcome asset to our
profession. So if you are a programmer or whatever or can legally distribute
or have names and addresses of these contacts, pass them on to all on the
list, after all someone may have exactly what you have been looking for. I
have a gut feeling that there are alot of you out there, so lets go
somewhere with this.
Even if the software has a price tag on it, it might be worth considering to
all on the list. As far as "FREE" software whether on floppy or CD-ROM
ofcourse the members would have to pay for the cost and postage of the said
items.
Here`s a list of items that could be of interest.
Investigative Database software.
DTMF decoding software.
Video enhancement software.
Spectrum analyzer software.
Sound enhancement software.
Fingerprint enhancement software.
Schemetrics,plans on electronics software.
Identification software.
Telephone catalogue software.
Forensic software.
The list could be endless, however i would be very surprised at the response
to this, after all i recently supplied a contact name and address for free
database software on electronics products and a whole lot more on CD-ROM.
GREAT PROGRAM.
After all the Moderator of this list dosen`t charge anything for this
valuable info we reguarly receive, so it`s pay back time to all.
My sincere regards to all members.

Ahhh mushroom pins... Very simple -- they are the standard pin shape,
but have a notch all the way around their diameter... The theory goes
that as you're picking the pins, you won't tend to push them straight up
or down, and they'll catch the notch on the side of the cylinder that
they travel up and down in... So you feel the 'click' and think you
have that pin picked, when in reality, you don't... As you become more
proficient, they become less of a problem...
Just wait till you see the Medeco's -- which have the chisled pins that
have to be rotated a specific number of degrees (done by the cut of the
key) to light up all the notches in the sides of the pins so a sidebar
can snap in... They make mushroom pins look like a cake walk!

Well, if you are looking for a fairly inexpensive technique... one that
will work well in low light (say a dim streetlight or less). get an
ordinary 35mm camera capable of manually adjusting the ISO settings a
tripod and kodak T-MAX p3200 B/W film. what you then do with the film is
"push" the ISO rating. by pushing the film you decrease the amount of
light the film needs to make an exposure. your typical daylight film is
rated at 100/400 but you can push this T-MAX film to 25,000 or so (i have
pushed film much higher but the negatives get VERY grainy). all you have
to do is set the ISO rating on the camera to the whatever you want and then
take your pictures. use a tripod as you will definitely want longer
exposure times and you will probably be using a long lens. the trick to
getting good exposures though is with the processing of the pushed film.
you can't just process the pushed film at its nominal rating, you have to
process it at its pushed rating. which means if you send it to a lab to be
processed, you will have to tell them. or better yet do the processing
yourself. it is not very hard, it just takes a little practice. pushing
is a very common technique by professional photographers that shoot in
low-light situations where a flash is not feasible so any decent
photography book should have a more detailed explanation than i gave here.
the big drawback of doing this is, however, that if not done right, your
negatives will get so grainy that they will be useless. but it is good
alternative if you don't have expensive equipment.

You may easily construct a device like this with nation wide coverage.
Just by using a pager, type Motorola Echo. (You may bye one for approx.
85USD) The pager does have a audio and a vibrator notice for received
messages.
How to construct a remote switch?
1. Take the connections for the vibrator and connect them to the primary
side of a solenoid. (the solenoids primary side should be 1.5V and the
secondary between 12V and 250V)
2. Connect the secondary side of the solenoid over the 12V supply cable
leading to the coil. (If you need a drawing of this mail me, and I'll
send you a blueprint of it)
3. If you would want to remotely switch of your car... just pick up the
phone and dial your Motorola Echo!

To Karl Keifurt,
Pscycological-
You are 100% right about the pscycological secure feeling in higher priced
locks. You didn't mention thesame pscycological responce your mind receives
when you try to manipulate one. (may I.....)
Quick story: Got bored of basic residential locks. Saw this MONSTER of a lock
in a hardware store. The Kwikset TITAN. It said HIGH SECURITY, it was big,
heavy, and could resist a nuclear attack. It "scared me". BUY IT! I take
this thing home...quiverring. 4 1/2 weeks of picking 2 hours a day and I put
this thing to rest....I gave up.
On my "Last try"....something moved! and then it moved more....and it opened.
Now....this thing opened every 3 minutes. Then...every 8 seconds. (I clocked
it).
I baught another just to be sure I didnt break the thing. This time...even
quicker.
Now??? What the heck happened here?? I did nothing different? OH yes I did
baby.... I went INTO it.....knowing that I could do it, and that made all the
difference in the word.
This goes for everything you do. Never make an attempt to do anything unless
you have the confidence and the "vision" of sucess. Remember the 5 minute
mile?
Now...could someone help me with this damn "spool" driver tumbler lock before
I loose my mind.
Be good people

The only time I have done this, the car had electronic ignition, (as most all cars left on the road do today). You can take a simple remote switch and run it to B+ before it enters the ignition. A garage door opener switch or keyless entry or alarm switch will work. Depending on the spec for the switch you may need to incorporate a relay, but it is really a very basic circuit.

They do make a car security device that will allow someone to get into
the car, start it, take off, and then when they hit the brakes it shuts
off and won't start. You could probably get one of these and instead of
using the brakes to shut the car down, have a remote switch to a solenoid
or something that would do the same.

I'll cut your listing off there, as I've just found a new (DOS)
software-based DTMF decoder which actually WORKS. Out of the 5 DTMF
decoding programs I've tried, this one is absolutely the best. It has a
realtime spectrum analyzer, runtime-adjustable threshold level, and a
simple UI. Oh, and it can handle CTCSS decoding as well, just as easily.
You can grab the program off my FTP site at this URL:

Here in the Washington D.C. area, you can pick up the phone (or have your

Good question. I don't know what type of devices you are building, but
it can be tricky. Since I don't know what state you're in let's stick
to the federal stats. Take a look at Title 18 USC. Specifically the
Electronic Communications Privacy Act. If you don't have a copy try
going to http://www.voicenet.com/~randy/Title_18/Table.html or

Hi Stan,
Unfortunately, low cost and TSCM equipment are a contridiction of terms.
Anything that's cheap, or is designed to give an untrained person a yes
or no answer as to if an area has been compromised I'd run from. TSCM
is very deep and the equipment can only give a tech readings from the
room like an EKG give readings to the doctor. It's then up to the tech
to determine what the readings mean and to decide if the readings are
friendly or not. Go to Tim Johnson's site at TSCI and read what a
sample TSCM report looks like and it'll give you a little more insite.
You may also want to visit tscm.com.
Good luck.

NO! Everything has specific mechanics of how and why they do what they
do. We are just used to flipping a switch or pushing a button
or moving the mouse across our computer pads. It all happens because
of a certain set of processes. The cable television descrambler is
no different.
However, for legal purposes I must add to this letter that this offer

I will mail your order out within 24 hours of receiving it.
Also note: If your cable TV company can rent the box to you then you
can own the box yourself. It is legal for you to purchase and it is
legal for you to own your own cable TV descrambler. When you buy or
build a cable descrambler box, it is your responsibility to inform the
cable TV company that you are accessing their signal.

deadbolt was wedged in the strikplate and the door had no budge to it...and I
didnt have a single thing to spin it with. I had my car key..and it wouln't
fit. Pack a small screwdriver. (Once a looser)
Lock number 2-(same house) I got 2 torque wrenches and both are the sime
size? Neither fit and I didn't have a .3 cent paper clip as a backup. Pack a
paperclip.(Twice a looser)
Lock number 3- (yes...same house) This piss assed cheap $2 dollar lock takes
me 20 unbeleivabley minutes (?? hey..it happens sometimes)
In a ball of sweat....it finally happens. <click!> YES! Turn the plug....and
CONGRADULATIONS...I just LOCKED the door. (3 times a toal looser) Guys...the

And that'll probably only work in DC, as you're likely aware of already.
There are a few ANAC lists floating around out there for specific
geographical areas, but most are either outdated or partial listings. If
you want to find your number from just about anywhere, just call up the
AT&T account servicing center at 800.222.0300 and press 1 when you hear
the recording, or the Info Access automated blocking system at
800.568.3197. There are several of these toll-free services out there.
Some are public, and some are intended for private/telco use. I'm giving
you a couple of those which are public, obviously. We all know what
happens when these things get overused (remember 800ANIIS?). Anyhow, that
should do it for you.

Subject: Re: Cable descrambler
I have played with several designs for cable descramblers. The circuit
described will be a simple "notch filter" circuit which will only
descramble the type of signal that has an audio/video "noise" signal
impressed on the channel. You can tell if you have that type if it makes a
loud beep beep noise and has vertical swiggly lines which you can fine tune
to just make out a picture with loud noise or little noise and no picture.
The notch filter just filters out the noise and leaves most of the
sound/picture. If I could find it in all of my mess, I have several
circuits which work somewhat, but usually require tweaking with the
adjustable cap.
Our cable system only uses that system for scrambling HBO on CH 3. All of
the rest are scrambled using the removal of the sync pulse. They require a
circuit to artificially replace that pulse. I would be interested in that
circuit as it is also useful for Van Eck play.

Subject: Free CTV Response
In a recent posting JC posted a ad for a CTV device that stated it would
allow you to watch free cable for only a few dollars worth of RadShk
parts. JC made sure he put a disclaimer in there and stated he was not
associated with this and I wanted to make sure everyone knew that and
didn't think I was slamming him. The passing on of info only helps us
all.
Anyway, I just wanted to warn the list that if this is the break I think
it is after reviewing the parts list, it won't work in hardly any of the
markets left.
There are different types of systems out there. One is the digital
system which requires you to use the cable companies box. It has an
address in it and can be activated or shut off at the cable companies
office. Therefore, if you pay your bill for premium service, and your
cheap father-in-law doesn't, you could take your box over to his house
and watch HBO instead of having to talk to him.
Another system puts traps in the line which shunt's the signal for a
particular channel to ground. On these systems, if you took the shunts
out of the line and hooked the cable directly to the tv, you'd get
everything.
Then there are other types that require tubes to descramble the signal
for each channel.
Of course, there are variations for each of these systems, and yes they
can all be broken. Nothing is completely secure even the new DSS
satallite systems now have breaks available. But beware, the Feds don't
take kindly to it. However, if you're reading this from another
country, it's probably legal as long as you don't descramble the
signals from stations in your country. Depending on the country, it may
be.

The number you were referring to for Washington D.C. is what is referred to as an "A.N.I." which stands for automated number identification. There are number for different areas and markets around the country. There are also a few of them out there that will work anywhere in the country. The one I use appears to be down, however there are even some for profit through the private sector. They are usually supplied by the "trap line" companies. On the other hand, if I'm out doing a TSCM search and need to know which line I'm on and I don't have a good ani for the area I'm in, I often call my cell phone from that line. Yes even my cell phone has caller ID. Isn't technology wonderful.
Oh yeah, one last thought. You can also get it from the operator if you know the right code to give her. The one for my area changes every month, but it's a sequencing of the date, so you always know what the current code is. It'll be different for different areas.
Hope this helps. If you're asking around for the ANI for your area, don't confuse it with the CNA number. Some people don't really know the terms and will give you the wrong one.

Subject: ANI for Dallas/Ft. Worth
First thanks to Spyking for the ANI list. An update for the Dallas
area. Although the posted number works in most areas of the
Dallas/Ft.Worth Metromess, there are a few C.O.'s that require you to
use a prefix from that C.O. for example if the local office has the
following exchanges, 212, 213, 222, & 225, you would dial 970-XXX-1111.
I say 1111 but any four digits would work. The XXX would be replaced
by a prefix from that C.O.

Subject: CTV for Free
Those simple notch filter circuits just don't work anywhere anymore.
The cable companies have known for years that people were doing this and
developed a different system. The only way to get free CTV anymore is
to buy a cable box from a third party with a test card in it, or just
buy the test card if you are electronically skilled. You have to really
want "free cable" though because the box usually costs about $300. More
info about this sort of thing is available at
http://www.scramblingnews.com/ . They also have info on mini-dishes as
well as CTV.

Subject: Brief case locks
If you read my last post about opening briefcases and yours didnt open.
Please try this.
If the dials are "recessing" when you put moderate pressure on the latch
button <again..direction of the combo's> and become hard to spin. I want you
to change gameplan and...press the latch button in the OPPOSITE direction and
start feeling for pressure on the #3 combo. (furthest from latch
button)...and use "feather light pressure. <contrary to the last tecnique>.
Spin it, does it "stick" on any certain number. Start your manipulation on
this tecnique always from the number 3 dial because you are "pulling" the pin
to make resistance with the dial.
If anyone missed my last post about "my" briefcase lock or this lacks detail
or are just plain confused....mail me at Badcoffee@aol.com
If you tried this and "your's" don't open...I would like to know about it. it
would be a great help to me. :-) Be good
If you have a high security breifcase, could you please tell me about the
brand or any spec's about the locking systems....the people at the briefcase
store are getting on my nerves and want me to buy something :-)
PS- My words are not BIBLE, you have to try my tecniques before you hit the
field with them....still learning here. But, I would never pass along
anything that i havent sucessfully proven myself.

Dear Spyking & Rick D.
The UK 175 number is a line testing number which will dial you back but
does not normally tell you your number. If 175 does not work, then try 174
as these nos seem to be area dependent none of them "noramlly" tell you
your number. However, they did (and still might) work in small rural areas
which have really old mechanical exchanges.

As far as I can remember, the book I read about 7 years ago had something like.... The scrambled wave is separated into two sources source (a) & (b).
(a) to amplify this raw source and (b) to filtre (let the interference through) the interference. Once the interference is obtained, then it is amplified and
inverted. The outputs from (a) and (b) are adjusted to the same level, then
added together (by using an op-amp) which hopefully cancels out (the noise
element from (b) is 180 degrees out of phase cancelling itself out leaving
only the info intact).
Now for the bit that seemed an overkill and did not make too much sense and
I could not see why it was there...
The modulator at transmission added a steep, narrow fixed frequency sine
wave and could not be effectively filtered as the bandwidth of the filters was
too great and the signal too large. Also the origional circuit took the
output from (b) and used it to trigger its own fixed frequency oscillator
using a PLL circuil to keep the oscillators timing correct
then shifted its oscillators wave by 180 degrees and then fed it to the
mixer with (a). No, I can not remember why it used its own oscillator. PLL
but perhaps it would solve the cap problem?

Subject: Re: Locks
Oh for crying out loud......Why didn't anyone tell me about this.... HERE we
go....
Temporarily forget all previuos advise on brief case combos. While
scrubbin/raking this nightmare mushroom pin lock that is laughing at me so
hard that it woke my kids.......I had an idea. Scrob the combo??? Hmmmm
Step 1: Apply pressure to the latch button (this is where the action
happens...lightly or heavy) you want the dials to spin freely and stop
applying pressure when the dials feel a little resistance.
Step 2: Now...take your middle finger (use another finger if you dont have
one) and "glide" them across all the dials...UP and DOWN...spining the dials
in both directions completely at random.
Step 3: Do NOT apply heavy pressure with your middle finger while spinning as
to force a dial that might have hit extrodinary resistance to go further.
Just let the dial slide off your finger and stop. Also...try to spin FLAT
with your finger...not the tip. You don't want to put downward pressure on
the dials...and the flat part of your finger will give you a good "scrub"
about almost a full 10 numbers. Scrub at least 2 at a time for those of you
with small fingers...go for all 3 if you can.
Step 4: You WILL absolutely feel the latch button move when you hit all 3
numbers. If your pushing in the oposite of the normal opening direction...you
will still feel it "give" just check the oposite direction (opening
direction) when you feel the "give" to open the lock.
Eventually: (less than 10 seconds) All 3 dials hit light resistance and stop.
The latch button will move forward...and it's open.
This is why it happens: I have no idea...but the lock opens.
NOTE: Beware of the number ZERO <it is sometimes false, it like to stick
there sometimes>
NOTE: This whole things "REVOLVES" around proper pressure. Both..the latch
botton pressure and the spin finger pressure.
NOTE: Even if you are pressing the latch botton in the opening direction and
all 3 dials are in position. You still MUST...release pressure and re-apply
pressure to open it.
A briefcase is a place that people put important papers that they don't want
to misplace or think that it is a secure place. 99% of the briefcases i've
ever seen are under $50 bucks. I would assume that the great majority of
briefcases are just as cheap as mine. If the price goes up...it is not
because it is more secure....as people might think they are.....it is because
an aligator died in the making of the "secure" place. The locks are probably
all made in good old China. I sincerely beleive, unlike residential and
commercial locks, this is an area that has little fluctuation in security.
However...i could be wrong :-)
Let me know if this don't work for you please.

Subject: CNA Info
In addition to ANI numbers, here is some info on CNA's for the list... if anyone has updated CNA listings, please post to list...
What is a CNA number?
CNA stands for Customer Name and Address. The CNA number is a phone number for telephone company personnel to call and get the name and address for a phone number. If a telephone lineman finds a phone line he does not recognize, he can use the ANI number to find it's phone number and then call the CNA operator to see who owns it and where they live.
Normal CNA numbers are available only to telephone company personnel. Private citizens may now legally get CNA information from private companies. Two such companies are:
Unidirectory (900)933-3330
Telename (900)884-1212
Note that these are 900 numbers, and will cost you approximately one dollar per minute.
If you are in 312 or 708, AmeriTech has a pay-for-play CNA service available to the general public. The number is 796-9600. The cost is $.35/call and can look up two numbers per call.
If you are in 415, Pacific Bell offers a public access CNA service at (415)705-9299.
If you are in Bell Atlantic territory you can call (201)555-5454 or (908)555-5454 for automated CNA information. The cost is $.50/call.

Here's a hint about those radio shack PZMs. They come with a high-impedance
2-conductor connector, but the microphone is actually a balanced,
low-impedance device. If you unsolder (or cut off) the quarter-inch jack on
the cable, you will find a shield and two conductors. Connect these to a
standard A3M jack (or some other suitable low-impedance, balanced connector
if size is a factor) and connect it to a low-impedance, balanced mic input.
You will get MUCH better signal-to-noise ratio, better RF rejection, and can
run longer cabling with less signal loss.
If you put a low-impedance, balanced jack on it, and connect it to a
low-impedance, balanced mic input, you can have cables several hundred feet
long with very little loss.
Note also that you can easily vary the low frequency response of the mic by
placing it on different surfaces. For example, if low-frequency rumble or
street noise is a problem, don't place the mic on a large flat hard surface.
Replace the standard plate with one made of something clear (lucite, lexan,
plexiglas, etc), and it will be less noticable if stuck in a planter (for
example).
If you need a PZM, and Radio Shack has already sold out, you can get the
original from Crown in Elkhart Indiana (for a LOT more money, but better
quality).

Subject: CNA's, ANI's, Diverters, & Loops
Since lately we seem to be venturing into the phreaking end of
technology just figured I'd pass some info on.
ANI The automated number identification we've talked about recently
CNA Customer Name and Address bureau. In the Dallas market it's
supposed to be authorized use only. Don't tell the hackers, it may
offend them.
Diverters. Wonderful toys. You dial a number and get a dial tone. You
then call out from that number. If you get one, don't run up their long
distance. They are great to defeat Caller ID, or make it look like
you're calling from one state when you're in another. Oh yeah, it would
also defeat call trace. Especially if you bounced the call from one
diverter to another and so on.
Loops or Bridges. These are either numbers that connect together. For
instance, you're running a scam to locate a defendant in a case and you
don't want them to have your phone number because it'll tip them off, or
you need them to think you're in another city or state. You give them
the loop number to call you back in Florida. You're in California. You
call into the number and wait on speaker phone. When they dial the
number in Florida you gave them, it links you together and you answer
the phone.
These are all wonderful tools that exist inside the telco system, but
beware. The feds are cracking down on misuse of them due to the
computer theft and hacker problem. Even if you have no intentions of
using these systems for unlawful purposes, trying to convience them may
be difficult. There was a trace on one of the bridged numbers which was
commonly used around here a couple of years ago. I haven't tried it to
see if it's still up or not. Also, one of the diverters went down at
about the same time as a raid during that time.

Following from the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Friday, April 4, 1997

===========================================
"TWO ACCUSED OF MURDER-FOR-HIRE PLOT"
Overheard phone call leads to arrests
by Darrell Glover
P-I Reporter
A cross-country telephone conversation overheard on a
scanner apparently short-circuited a murder-for-hire
scheme.
Two men, one from the Seattle area and the other from
Glen Burnie, Md., were arrested by Seattle police
detectives at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport
March 14 and charged with conspiracy to commit murder.
Todd Rogers of Glen Burnie and Aaron Lee Lord were
being held in King County Jail in lieu of $200,000 bail
each.
Their intended victim was Andre Anthony, a friend of
Lord, who wanted Anthony "taken care of or killed,"
according to charging papers. Lord promised Rogers
$20,000 for his help in getting rid of Anthony.
Authorities were alerted to the scheme by a neighbor of
Rogers, who overheard Rogers and another man's
conversation on his scanner. Rogers and the man
discussed Rogers' leaving National Airport in
Washington, D.C., and arriving in Seattle. The caller
told Rogers that his tickets had been bought and would
be sent to Rogers via Federal Express.
In a later conversation, the caller told Rogers that he
had two plans to kill Anthony. If plan A on March 14
didn't work, then plan B on March 15 would "go down."
The caller told Rogers that his only concern was if the
victim told someone he was going to meet with the
caller, but then said, "If anything comes down, I'll
just tell them I don't know what they are talking
about," charging papers said.
The caller also told Rogers that he was going to scope
out the dump site on his dirt bike. He said he planned
to load his off-road vehicle in a pickup and "it" (the
body) would be in a sleeping bag.
After hearing the conversations, the neighbor contacted
Anne Arundel County police. A detective watched Rogers
leave on a plane for Seattle March 14. He arrived in
Seattle late that night.
Seattle police detectives followed Rogers to the Sea-
Tac baggage area where he met Lord and Anthony. Rogers
and Lord were arrested.
In a taped statement, Rogers told detectives that he
had known Lord for 12 years and they had lived together
in the past. He said that Lord had called him because
Lord believed Anthony had stolen $50,000 from him,
charging papers said.
The money came from a stolen ATM machine, court papers
said.
According to charging papers, Lord was to take Anthony
to his home where Lord would shoot him. Rogers was to
help Lord bury the body.
When detectives played Rogers' taped statement for Lord
he said, "If that's what you guys say I did, then I
guess I'm guilty."

Subject: modem taps, Van Eck, and locks
On the subject of tapping into modem information:
I would like to hear from someone that has actually used a third modem
to intercept data transmission (or FAX). It seems to me that this would
NOT be possible on newer modems (above 2400bps) for the simple reason
that newer modulation schemes use "echo-cancellation" to allow both send
and receive channels in the same bandwidth. Thus assuming that an
intercepting device could actually equalize the line, data would still
be unretrievable because the data from one of the modems would need to
be known in order to cancel it out. Older schemes (300/1200bps)
separate the TX and RX bands and could be easily intercepted. The best
bet, I think, would be to "fake" a connection with a pair of modems, a
phone line simulator, and a PC to play middle man in the connection.
Van Eck:
What freqs are being received? Baseband from electron gun emissions? I
would assume the freqs and the first couple of harmonics to be below say
20MHz in that case. I remember seeing to TV show (years ago) that
demonstrated a simple Tempest system using only a cable decoder and a TV
(they intercepted a standard TV video on another TV playing a tape).
This leads me to believe that higher freqs are involved. Am I missing
something? Were they simply receiving harmonics? Any help would be
appreciated.
Briefcase locks:
Many combination briefcase locks use cams on the dials as the locking
mechanism. To open these, simply use a shim (really thin piece of
metal), inserted to the side of each dial, to feel for the flat part of
the cam, while spinning each digit. The once the digits are aligned
with the lowest point upwards, rotate all of the dials in unison until
the lock opens (usually 180 degrees). Hope that helps.

Subject: ANNOUNCE AbirNet SessionWall-3 release
Hi,
It seems that the users here will be interested in the following info.
For Immediate Release
AbirNet's SessionWall-3 Set To Rescue Companies From Intranet Abuses
NEW PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT
DALLAS (April 1, 1997) -- Responding to corporate decision makers' concerns over liability and productivity issues related to abuses on computer networks, AbirNet Ltd. officials announced today the release of SessionWallTM-3.
Ensuring greater freedom and access control of Internet and internal (Intranet) networks, SessionWall-3 features protection technologies of "unobtrusive blocking"(TM), which has a patent pending and "see-it-all monitoring"(TM), as well as sophisticated network intrusion
detection capabilities. These innovations provide solutions without changing current network topology, without introducing any new network performance overheads, without any desktop or sever software changes, and without an expensive planning and implementation
cycle.
Kurt Ziegler, Jr., AbirNet CEO and chairman of the board, says there is no longer a reason for corporate decision makers to wonder if you network security is needed or not, "nor should you feel that you are running blind behind your firewall. AbirNet's protection products offer a significant step forward in the ability to see how your network is being used while it detects, blocks and tracks network intrusion attempts," he says.
"SessionWall-3 is much more than some child sitter program," says Chris Wiley, security network manager of an international banking security technology company. "SessionWall permits the network administrator to graphically, and in detail, see exactly what and how a station or user is accessing the net, or conversely how a server is being utilized. In my 25 years in the computer field, I have never run across any program that can perform all the detection and protection functions of SessionWall-3," Wiley adds.
"We use SessionWall-3 to identify users who are not complying with our internal network usage policies," says the network manager of a large semiconductor company. "Once identified, we can contact the user and make them aware of the infraction. Now that we can see the access patterns, we are beginning to use SessionWall-3 to control access to specific hosts."
"We picked SessionWall-3 because we didn't have a lot of time and needed a solution that didn't have a steep learning curve and could be implemented transparently," he adds.
SessionWall-3 users noted during beta testing that: "The product provides 'eyes' to firewalls for greater protection efficiency as well as delivers top protection capabilities."
"SessionWall-3 monitors E-mail, web access, news groups, FTP, and Telnet from the moment it is installed. Additional protocols and blocking can be invoked with just a couple of clicks," adds Ziegler. "SessionWall-3 eliminates the most common obstacles hindering a company's ability to implement or research needed Internet and Intranet controls.
"SessionWall-3 responds to the need for a simple, affordable, yet comprehensive solution to seeing what's going on in the network and blocking the abusers," says Ziegler. "Today, we begin delivering that solution, a solution that is functionally rich and priced to meet the needs of the small network, intermediate network, and large network manager alike."
AbirNet, founded by Ziv Dascalu in 1996, is a privately held company with US headquarters in Dallas, Texas and International headquarters in Yoqneam, Israel, with operations in both locations. Worldwide Marketing headquarters are located in Dallas. For product information, please call (800) 245-1688, E-mail: info@abirnet.com, or visit our Web site:

Subject: FTC To Conduct Hearings on Privacy, Investigate Databases
This should be of interest to list members that are investigators...
The Federal Trade Commission has announced that it will convene a public
workshop devoted to consumer information privacy on June 10-13, 1997. This
is a follow-up to FTC workshops held last summer.
The workshop is intended to gather information on the collection,
compilation, sale and use of computerized data bases that contain sensitive
identifying information, as well as self-regulatory efforts, technological
innovations and unsolicited e-mail. The workshop will also address these
developments as they pertain to children's personal information.
The workshop will gather information for a new computer data base study
that the FTC has also announced. However, this study will be limited to
"look up services" which contain personal identifying information, such as
the Lexis-Nexis P-TRAK service. Importantly, the FTC will not address
computer databases used primarily for direct marketing purposes, medical
and student records or the use of computer credit reports for employment
purposes.
Interested participants must submit written comments by April 15, 1997.
More information is available at the FCC web page:

I'm not in the same profession as most of you folks, just a telecom
manager who lurks here to pick up tips on how to protect our many PBXs from
attack ... but here's a telecom tip for you: The LEC -will- change the "test"
numbers that have been cited above once they discover that too many
people have, know, or are using them ... not because of any protectionism, but
to make sure that these test facilities are available for their technicians
when they need them. Additionally, as noted above, these test facilities
vary from LEC to LEC.

Subject: A few piece's of info
Greetings,
Wanted to pass a long a few piece's of info to some
of the folks out there in cyberland.
1) It is very easy to listen to cell phone calls using
a scanner. What I used to do was setup my iCOM to a
stero system get long play 120min tapes and record
everything it picks up. The problem is this, most cell
phone users are moving, which means they will move
from cell to cell. Once a cell change has been made the
convo you are listening to will fall off, or in other
words the call has moved to a new cell and is now on
a new channel. Most of the larger and I would guess
smaller telco's have a system by which the cell call will
change or move from channel to channel every so often
as to help prevent people from easedroping.
2) Someone in a prior mailing asked about a device that
will allow you to scramble phone calls, a company called
NAI Technologies - http://www.naitech.com carries these
as well as TEMPEST certified products. I would also suggest
that you contact iCOM.

Your right about Jim's site. In fact, even if you know your stuff, his site can be confusing. TSCM seems to draw "wannabes" to it, but by the same token we were there at one time. I often warn people about what all is involved in this type of work so that they understand the dangers of performing it for a client, and not really knowing what you are doing. On the other hand, I don't want to discourage anyone from learning it who really wants to try. You're not going to learn TSCM from looking at the spectrum analyser gif's on Jim's site, but it is a good place to send people to get an idea of how in depth this type of work goes. Let's face it. The work itself is confusing.
I don't really remember which posting I replied to as I get several of them, but I'm sure I meant well.

First, thanks to Spyking and the list members for all the valuable
information passed along every day.
Bank routing numbers identify specific financial institutions, for use
during electronic tranactions. Note that each physical location of a bank
or credit union is issued its own number. The routing number of a bank
will show up as the first set of OCR digits at the lower left corner of any
check, identifying by number the bank on which the check was drawn.
I use the ABA (American Bankers Association) publication entitled
"Financial Institutions Directory" available from Thompson Financial
Publishing (800-280-5450). It's a 2-volume set listing all financial
institutions by state and city, and also by alphabetical bank name, with
routing numbers for each, plus other information on each institution. I
seem to recall it costing about $300, updated annually. It's an invaluable
tool.

Subject: Hiring Site Inspectors
Hello all,
I received several replies to my requests for help, hopefully I will have
this work completed asap.
Anyway, I have always a need for good, fast, site inspectors.
What they do: They go to a specific business and take a photo of the out
side, and the inside (Polaroid) and they answer four very easy questions.
They fax the questionnaire here, and mail the original questionnaire and
photos to a regular address. That is it. It pays $20 - $25, takes very
little time at all, and is very easy work.
We do not want PI's sending in requests for this work at their regular rate,
this is not PI work. Anyone can do it, you do not need a license or
anything like that. You DO need a Fax machine and a Polaroid camera and wheels.
Should you be interested in doing this work occasionally in your town drop
me an E-mail with the subject line as the City and State you are available
in. i.e. Subject: Huntsville, AL. Site Inspector
Most of these inspections are for Restaraunts so I like to say it is like
getting paid to eat lunch.

Kevin,
As I recall the RadShk walkie-talkie project you are referring to was
done by Bret Johnson and it wasn't a tracking unit but rather a sentry
alarm. It could be used the same way however if you had a receiver with
a directional antenna. Try contacting Bret. He's on the list.
Actually he posts frequently so I guess he doesn't mind his address
being given out, so if you don't find it let me know and I'll send it to
you private.

Subject: Equifax In Stinker
The following off the business wire yesterday 4/8/97:
Equifax shaken by accusations of fraud, privacy law violations; Acquisition
thrusts proud Atlanta company into new privacy scandal
BusinessWire, Tuesday, April 08, 1997 at 18:53
WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 8, 1997--A recently-acquired
subsidiary of Equifax, Inc. (NYSE:EFX) the Atlanta credit reporting
giant, systematically violated the privacy of registered voters,
according to court papers filed in DC federal court.
The complaint filed by Washington-based competitor Aristotle
Publishing, Inc., alleges that Equifax subsidiary California Data
Bureau (CDB) and its president committed fraud, and offered databases
on more than 5 million registered voters in states such as Maryland,
Georgia and California to skip tracers and bill collectors in
violation of privacy laws. In response to the Aristotle lawsuit,
filed December 18, 1996, Equifax has quietly removed dossiers on
millions of American voters from CDB's computers.
Equifax President, Dan McGlaughlin, has so far refused to respond
to Aristotle's request for an assurance that Equifax has made full
disclosure to state law enforcement officers.
The company could be exposed to millions of dollars in fines and
class action lawsuits. It could also become the target of
enforcement actions by state Attorneys General or Secretaries of
State. Questions about management competence at the publicly-traded
Equifax would arise if it asserts it was ignorant of the unlawful
data usage when it reportedly paid CDB president Rick Rozar and
others millions of dollars to acquire a controlling interest in his
Santa Ana, California database company in 1996.
News organizations that specialize in privacy, Privacy Times and
The Privacy Journal, have reported that Rozar, a controversial former
private investigator, had entered into a 1993 FTC consent decree over
CDB's sale of data protected under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. In
1995, his firm was also caught selling Arizona voter records for
prohibited purposes, and was the subject of criticism in last
summer's widely-publicized flap over the improper sale of Social
Security numbers.
"I'm shocked Equifax didn't think twice before acquiring CDB. In
doing so, they endangered their reputation. These revelations are
further proof of that," said Robert Ellis Smith, publisher of The
Privacy Journal. In response to press inquiries, Equifax General
Counsel, Michael de Janes complained that "many misstatements of fact
and other inaccuracies" which he declined to specify, would "damage
the reputation of Equifax."
"Equifax was wearing blinders. Equifax was misled. Or Equifax
simply looked the other way. Any way you look at it, you have to
wonder how this could happen," said John Phillips, president of
Aristotle Publishing, in a statement issued today.
The problems may receive greater scrutiny at Equifax's
shareholder meeting April 30th, and as Equifax prepares to spin off
its Insurance division, which includes CDB. Phillips, an Equifax
shareholder, may join with other shareholders in a formal shareholder
demand asking the Equifax Board of Directors to investigate why
company officers failed to detect the sale of data for illegal
purposes, and forcing the company to make full disclosure to
government authorities.
Said Phillips: "Equifax needs to clean house, give back the
illicit profits, pay any fines, apologize, and get this behind them.
They compound their problems every day they try to keep the money and
cover it up."
Note to Editors: For comment from Aristotle Publishing, phone
415/882-9924. For Equifax: 404/885-8702. For Privacy Times:
202/829-3660. For The Privacy Journal: 401/274-7861.

In law enforcement with a wire tap order, the only people that can have
access to the phone Co.s equiptment is a state, or federal agency or the
Police departement. There monitoring is done at the at the CO and can be

Be carfull there is lots of high teck "off air" monitoring equiptment, and

Subject: How to get the files the FBI has on you
Inspired by SpyKing's plea to get more involved in the list, I decided
to post this.
-WindWalker
The Federal Bureau of Investigations keeps files on almost
every person in the entire country. They must send you your file
if you want them to. There will not be any charge if the file is
under fifty pages. If it is over 50 pages, then there will be a
copying charge often cents per page. Your file can be obtained by
simply mailing a letter to them. However, the letter must be worded
properly or else they will not comply, or may only send you part of it.
Here is the address which you may use to contact the F.B.I.:
Director
Federal Bureau of Investigations
Washington D.C., 20535
Here is the letter:
<YOUR NAME>
<YOUR ADDRESS>
<CITY, STATE, ZIP>
<YOUR PHONE NUMBER>
Dear Sir:
I am requesting a copy of any personal file which you may
have on myself (SSN <Your sovial security number>).
In addition, I am requesting
copies of all files, dossiers, documents, or materials referring
to myself. If you consider some material exempt from diclosure,
release the material to me with deletions indicated and specify
your legal support for having made those deletions. Finally, I
require a response within ten working days, as provided by the
Freedom of Information Act. I appreciate your time and your
compliance with my request and the law.
Thank you,
<YOUR NAME>
This letter must be notarized. To notarize a letter go to some
bank, NOT the Post Office. The bank will check your
identification a stamp your letter, then go to the PO and mail
this letter. The C.I.A. also has files, but I believe they stopped
updating information in 81. A similar request can be made of ANY
government agency. Knock your self out!

Subject: Intro
I just wanted to take a minute and let all of you know what I do and
what I have to offer. I work as director of sales and marketing for a
small corporation in the Washington, DC area, have my own consulting
business and am a partner in a used computer business. In other words,
I'm a geek. I don't program, but I know my pc and server hardware
pretty well. I am familiar with tons of computer applications and I
know junk from good computer parts. If this is helpful to any of you
(most of you probably know what you are doing or you wouldn't be on this
list) great. If you have a question, I'll try to answer it for you. If
you want a good source for computer products, I'll steer you towards
some of my sources (I won't try to sell other list members). I just
want to help....and not be a lurker.
On a new note, my company just fired a new technician. He's a nice guy,
with a family, former police officer (20 years) was in an accident, the
other guy was not insured and he lost everything. So he goes to school
for computer repair and the company hires him with the understanding
that they will train him. They let him go after one month or so. The
president's wife didn't like the guy. He's honest and he really wants
to work with computers. If anyone in the Northern Virginia Area needs a
good man, let me know. He was commuting over 60 miles for a $10.00 an
hour job and never complained. I hope this post isn't too off the list
subject, but he is a former law enforcement guy and I know a lot of you
are too.
Thanks,

Hi Leah,
Be careful about doing this in Texas. The law in Texas (Art. 4413 VACS)
is VERY broad and incompasses more than you can imagine. If you have a
fulltime employee doing this exclusively for your company and no one
else's you're probably ok. If they're a contractor there's a guy named
Randy Glascow how is in charge of a group of agents in Austin who will
not think twice about filing charges on anyone doing the work for you.
If you want a copy of the part of the law that defines an investigation
company send me a fax number. I'll be happy to send it to you.

Hello,
Trace was kind enough to post a response I made to one of his
recommendations. Sorry I didn't post it myself, sort of spoils the
opportunity for a public flaming.
My name is Rick Kidd and I've been involved in this field for around 15
years now. My firm specializes in business intelligence and
counter-intelligence. I am, by original training, a technician. The
other areas I specialize in came courtesy of the USN and corporate
America.
My main reason in posting now is recruitment into a professional
organization I co-founded. ACIP (Association of Counter-Intelligence
Professionals) was started to bring professionalism to the TSCM and
related industries. Currently only a few individuas have the training
required to perform a high level TSCM Sweep coupled with the required
follow-up investigations and counter-intelligence work. We are offering
an opportunity for networking amongst individuals , the government,
corporations and others in the industry. We also are preparing
standarized certification and training to open the field to new TSCM
technicans. There are many new avenues that we will be exploring in the
next few months, if anyone has any suggestions or is interested in
joining, please feel free to contact me via email at rkidd@localnet.com

This article appeared in PC. Magazine (US.Edition), dated 25th. March 1997
on page 76.
"WHO'S DOING WHAT WHEN" with WinWhatWhere97 $US.99.00.
WinWhatWhere97 keeps a detailed record of activity of one PC. or every PC.
on your company's network. This $99.00 package can track how much time an
employee spends using a program, working on a document or visiting a Web
site and it can count the number of keystrokes and mouse clicks and measure
the distance a mouse has moved. Although this monitoring of computer time
and usage may seem intrusive to some, WinWhatWhere (W3) can provide valuable
productivity and ergonomic information.
W3 works by automatically updating a central database with detailed reports
from all W3-equipped workstations on a network; it then lets you export the
collected data in a variety of formats. The program not only tracks which
applications are active but it reports changes to an active window's caption
to capture the name of the document in use or the Web site visited.
The administrator can set W3 to run invisibly and prevent its being turned
off. Despite its potential for abuse, W3 need not be a tool for oppression.
A report that all workstations are busy 95 percent of the time, for example,
may indicate the need to buy more or better equipment. And W3 can be used to
perform time and motion studies, so that software designers can quantify and
minimise mouse mileage and keystrokes. Contractors can use the program to
generate time and billing reports.
The program is available for a 30-day free trial from the company's Web site
which is at "www.winwhatwhere.com"

Subject: Cyberspace stalker
How many professionals here would have had this guy giftwrapped with a bow on

law enforcement)
Read on...this is a trip....
EMERYVILLE, Ont. - After a week's reprieve, a Windsor-area family again finds
itself at the mercy of a cyberspace stalker.
Sommy, as the high-tech bogeyman calls himself, interrupted a phone
conversation Tuesday to let the Tamai family know he had returned from a
Florida vacation.
"We're living a nightmare," said Debbie Tamai-Smith, 36, of Emeryville, about
20 kilometres east of Windsor. "It's been a living hell."
Sommy has terrorized the family since they moved into their home in November,
turning lights on and off, interrupting telephone conversations, changing
channels on their TV and listening in on family conversations.
He distorts his voice and has confounded the experts by avoiding detection.
Bell Canada has changed the family's number, changed the phone lines in their
home and changed the telephone cable in the family's subdivision.
They even tried to fry Sommy's equipment with a 600-volt blast down the phone
lines.
Sommy just laughed.
"We don't know who he is or how he's doing it," said Const. Rick Harold of
the provincial police.
"If I could I'd move out tomorrow," said Dwayne, 34, Debbie's husband.

Subject: Re: Hiring Site Inspectors
Yesterday I sent out the following post to several lists I read. There was
a tremendous reply, however I have to comment about the simple fact that it
seems many of you did not really read my original post (appearing below).
The purpose of this re post is not to chastise you for not reading what you
are replying to, but to find out who is truly willing to do these and who is
not.
I reiterate, these site inspections pay only $20, a $5. bonus is paid when
the inspection is completed within 24 hours. For a grand total of $25 MAX.
No mileage, no hourly rate, no exceptions. As I state below these are not
tricky, the business owners will be expecting you. This is a simple form
with four questions and two polaroid photos. Anyone can do these, one does
not need to hold a PI license at all.
Several respondents have indicated they would be willing to do this work in
several STATES! I think they would go broke trying. The idea is to stick
close to home, perhaps handling these at lunch as most of the site
inspections are for restaurants.
Now if you have read and understand this and you are still willing to do
this occasional work, please e-mail me with your City, State in the subject
line and I will add you to my list.
REQUIREMENTS Polaroid Camera, FAX Machine, Auto, Telephone, pen. :)
I thank you for your time and consideration.
Leah Wesolowski
Hello all,
I received several replies to my requests for help, hopefully I will have
this work completed asap.
Anyway, I have always a need for good, fast, site inspectors.
What they do: They go to a specific business and take a photo of the out
side, and the inside (Polaroid) and they answer four very easy questions.
They fax the questionnaire here, and mail the original questionnaire and
photos to a regular address. That is it. It pays $20 - $25, takes very
little time at all, and is very easy work.
We do not want PI's sending in requests for this work at their regular
rate, this is not PI work. Anyone can do it, you do not need a license or
anything like that. You DO need a Fax machine and a Polaroid camera and
wheels.
Should you be interested in doing this work occasionally in your town drop
me an E-mail with the subject line as the City and State you are available
in. i.e. Subject: Huntsville, AL. Site Inspector
Most of these inspections are for Restaraunts so I like to say it is like
getting paid to eat lunch.

Subject: Re: CyberStalker
Hi there,
we've had an interesting case up in my area recently(Ontario,Canada),apparently there is a family being cyber stalked by person or persons unknown.The family has been plagued by someone interuppting their phone calls, by participating in the conversation or cutting off the line.They have had their electrical power cut off and brought back on incrementally over several hours.The culprit has the
ability to monitor conversations in the home not involving any
communication devices.Their TV set has been turned on in the middle of the
night.These are to name a few of the occurances.
The police are stymied,or so they say,as they have been present to witness
some of the goings on, and in fact have spoken with the culprit via the
phone(I believe the article said'Toronto Sun 9 April').Bell says that there
is nothing they can do, as the calls take place within a specific
circuit,and its not until the culprit makes his call from outside this loop
that they can lock onto where he is located.A former RCMP officer who
specializes in this sort of thing,volunteered his services,and conducted a
complete electronics sweep of the home,and was unable to shed any light on
the problem.
The family also recieved a break from the torment recently,as the culprit
told them he was going on vacation.
So far this guy has the authorities stumped,any of you surveillance forum
people have any ideas.

OK... When I made that statement it was with tongue in cheek...
let's see what we can come up with... the term "tap" is somewhat limited... let's say "eavesdrop" on a phone... some of these methods are antiquated but a TSCM tech must know what they are and how to find them... this list is NOT complete... just a few things off the top of my head...
1. By using handset in "monitor" mode

Subject: Tracing the hops to a particular URL
Someone sent me a request about a particular file that came with windows
that's "hidden" but will trace the hops from your computer to the site
you want to, "find". I'm sorry but I accidently deleted the e-mail so
I'll post here.
The file you were asking about is called TRACERT.EXE. It's in Win95 and
true it's not in Help, but it's not really a hidden file as it doesn't
ahve the attribute.
To use it go to the Dos prompt and type Tracert and it will give you a
list of switches. Basically what you do, is while you're online on the
net, go out to a dos prompt where TRACERT is located. Then type for
instance TRACERT www.thecodex.com , you'll then see the hops that it
takes for you to get there. It'll show each server as you pass through
it, the number of ms that it takes, and the URL for each.
Hope this helps. Sorry I lost your mail address.

My two cents is that this is exactly the line of work Im getting into,
currently being trained by Cyberangels (nonprofit online crime fighting
organization) in tracing users and covert ops, and will soon be interning
with the Secret Service to acquire more experience. Im currently being
trained right now to track down and report pedophile activities on IRC,
but I may eventually get into tracking yahoos like "Sommy" down. I
personally hate criminal hackers. Of course they're not too found of me
either ;-). I do resent the implication that law enforcement are
"helpless" in dealing with these types of crimes. The FBI, and many other
agencies work 24/7 to prevent crime on the Internet, and they are very
effective. They're simply undermanned. And as it is in real life,
criminal hackers can be tracked down using conventional investigative
techniques as well as good computer skills... What's his M.O? What's his
motive? Is he a talker? etc etc...

Subject: lock-in trace
I don't know if anyone here can use this info but I felt imposed to post because
of SpyKing's message. OK here it goes... I came across an intresting file that
said the way the FBI does a lock-in trace by puting the same amount of voltage
thats curently in the fone line. For those of you that don't know the lock-in
trace is when the FBI traces a call you make , but you can't hang on it. I
thought to myself , could I do this , appearently so. All you do is solder 2
wires to a 9-volt battery. When you think some one is going to hang just attach
the wires to the green and red wires in the jack before they hang up. Now when
they hang up and pick up the fone again you'll still be on there line. Now you
say "That's great , but suppose some prick is doing it to me or I get a lock-in
trace from Mr. FBI". It's defeatable. Just take a flashlight lightbulb and hook
it up to 2 wires then when you think this is happening , attach the 2 wires to
the red and green wires in the jack. Then hang up. The lightbulb will drain the
electricity and the lock-in trace will be dead.

Nigel,
I had a PO BOX. The address was only held by the post office (inland
revenue too. If it is a company then thanks to the taxman, they
must have a registered office - Company House?), but any member of the
public was entitled to request it and the post office was obliged to
surrender it. This was made clear from all the paperwork I signed.
Before obtaing my P.O box, a rep visited my premeses and he had to speak to
me in person so that not only the building had to existed
If you have the persons phone no, BT could find the address for you. Make
an alcoholic donation to a friendly postman.The postal service is large and
even your local postie either knows or has a friend who knows someone in X
town. Give a utility company a call.....
There are two separte sides to the PO boxes - Letters and Parcels. Also the
letters can be either delivered to your home or collected. To get them
delivered cost quite a bit more? Also the same post box number is never
used twice.
If it is just one phone no, then I might be able to help but this is hit

How does one get a UK PO. box/mail drop which is untraceable and is cost

Venom X,
The USA taps, transmitters and circuits usually work in the UK, and tend to
be fairly universal. The phone systems around the world are of a fairly
similar standard and technology to the point where some American
phones/modems (having US tones) work on British lines..
The circuits to be watch out for are the ones that depend on you sending
tones; rewiring the hook switches in the phones; infinity transmitters and
features unavailable on your phone or system etc.
There once was a uk 2600 mag called 2280 but do knot know what happened to

My last post in reguard to the "James bond Roberies" in NJ confused a few.
The story was a "story", not real life. The point was for the young ones here
that might be impressed with the robberies and wish to use the information
contained here for a carear in such activities.
The point was also that when you posess the skills needed to pull off a high
level heist....You posess the same skills needed to be an asset to many
legitamete companies that would just love to hear from you. Strive to be the
best. You'll be a WANTED man......either for the cops....or for agancies that
would pay big bucks for your services. Your choice.
PS- I write this because I would just hate to even guess how many of the
1,600 people reading this are young and impressionable. Too many movies and
even the news sensationalizes heists. Let them know that YES, not everyone
has to be the 9-5 worker. And~~~ If your going to use this information to
pull a heist...take the time to train for long exausting hours. Why would I
say such a thing??? Because by the time someone learns what it takes to be a
professional...only best....he would have probably also acheived a "sence of
pride" for his knoledge and skills....and "just" may use it for legitamate
purposes. Let em know that there is a place in the legit world for just about
every skill.
When I poped my first lock....who in the world would have guessed (not me)
that I now possibly posess the skills to get $60 for a residential lockout???
Not bad for a ONE minute of work. Heck....does that break down to close to
$1,000 a day including 1/2 hour travel time between jobs? When I become one

My bet is this individual is a neighbor living in the same complex or close by... the information here is sketchy but there are several ways to perform this type of harrassment
My first question would be is this a house or apartment? Power going out? Where is the circuit breaker? Individual lights or appliances going out? Check the AC mains circuit for some type of remote control receiver/device.
Interupting telephone conversations? How? By operator interupt or a handset attached to the phone line? Changing channels on the TV? We used to do this to a local bartender driving him nuts. We brought our own universal remote control...
Listening in on family conversations? Sweep the place. Check exterior walls for contact microphones. Check telephone instruments for modifications, etc.
>He distorts his voice and has confounded the experts by avoiding detection.
Sounds like a common voice changer to me... and who are the "experts"? Using audio restorative software and other technology it is possible to restore altered frequencies and "get" the original voice.
>Bell Canada has changed the family's number, changed the phone lines in their
>home and changed the telephone cable in the family's subdivision.
Someone with access to telco records? Not such a hard thing. Many know how to question repair office to locate cable & pair and tip & ring info... obviously someone with the knowledge to ruse the BO or repair office.
>They even tried to fry Sommy's equipment with a 600-volt blast down the phone

Which means he doesn't leave any equipment attached. It's a good thing. I don't think they could justify frying the guy for harrassment.
>Sommy just laughed.

>"If I could I'd move out tomorrow," said Dwayne, 34, Debbie's husband.
This is not a tough investigation. I think a close examination of the target's home and surrounding area would provide the clues to catch "sommy". The fact that a "sweep" was done with negative results does not alter my opinion that the interior should be checked again (how qualified was the indididual). I'll bet the clues ARE there...

I have two suggestions. First is demonstrating the correlation
between the physical length of a radio wave and it's frequency. You
may have heard of the "2 meter ham band" "the 11 meter citizens band"
"or the 42 meter broadcast band". These bands are designated as such
because of the fact that a given frequency has a direct and

+++Moderator's Note+++
Listen closely. There is a lot of chatter on this list about bugging devices. I am NOT naive enough to believe that list members (and others) DO NOT use them from time to time but everyone should be aware that they ARE ILLEGAL to possess and use... The laws concerning eavesdropping devices are readily available on the web and EVERYONE should read them... they are "gray" in some areas and quite specific in others... but you SHOULD know what they are before venturing into this area...
The Japanese companies you mentioned above; Cony, Sunnmechatronics and Micro Electronics of Japan were busted by US Customs last year in the nationwide "Spy Shop" raids after an 18 month undercover investigation for illegally mislabeling and exporting to USA bugging equipment which was sold in the "Spy Shops".
Approximately 45 "Spy Shops" nationwide were raided by US Customs agents. Employees and owners were arrested, indicted and convicted of smuggling and selling eavesdropping equipment openly, over the counter to anyone.
Ken Taguchi the owner of Micro of Japan was "lured" here by Customs with promises of a one million dollar order. After his arrest he cooperated with the government to "sink" Spy Shops by providing shipping and other information to gain his own release.
The company Micro & Security Electronics of Hamburg, Germany was not involved in this particular bust.
Chances are, your correspondance to these Japanese bugging companies inquiring about their eavesdropping equipment was forwarded to US Customs... ;-)
Winston Arrington's book "Now hear this" is a classic. It has a lot of great schematics but it is NOT for the beginner. Some of his circuits are tricky.
He also sells kits for his devices that require some electronics skill to assemble... I'm not sure if he has done a second book. You can contact him in Chicago. He has also been arrested several times for selling bugging equipment (which he boasts about in his advertising).
I doubt very seriously if anyone here will recieve Japanese eavesdropping literature from these companies anymore. I'm pretty sure Customs has them on the run. Most of their equipment was junk. I've got hundreds of catalogs from these companies from around the world. The best stuff is not mass produced but made by little known technicians on a custom basis...
The "Spy Shops" specialized in selling covert crystal transmitter/receiver systems bought for approx. $100-200. from Japan and were sold for $1200-$1500. each in the NYC area. Just goes to show you what a rip-off the "Spy Shops" are...
One interesting sidebar is CCS aka Spyzone aka Counter-Spy Shop and 20 other names still advertises Micro equipment openly but was NOT busted with the other "Spy Shops".
The owner Ben Jamiel WAS busted many years ago for illegally EXPORTING high tech equipment to a PLO terrorist organization. I was the government's expert witness that identified the exported equipment which resulted in his indictment. Rumor has it he was behind the Customs raids of the Spy Shops to "clean out" the competition... Payback for his years of government cooperation.
P.S. You could get on a plane and visit the Akihabara section of Tokyo (Electronics Heaven) and buy anything you want there for peanuts... I travel there regularly on business and always stop to browse the shops (hundreds of them) to test the latest available toys...

TV turned on in the middle of the night? I can think of a couple of
ways to do this:
* If the TV comes back on after the power is cut -- cut the power and
bring it back...(check non-battery-backed up clocks for evidence of this
when it happens)
* Universal remote pointed in thru window from outside (check for
footprints -- cover the remote sensor hole with black tape to see if
problem goes away, look for fingerprints on nearby windows, etc...)
* Stalker broke in and installed something in the TV to make it turn
on/off via RF instead of IR -- has the TV been taken apart to check for
added circuitry? Might want to dust for fingerprints first just in
case...

Uh huh... did he do THREE sweeps? One for the obvious, two for the
stuff you want the expert to find, and three for the stuff you DON't
want people to find? Did he check behind EVERY single electrical
outlet, every single wall switch?
One thing which comes to mind -- is if these folks make use of any X10
stuff -- where you replace the light switches and sockets with remote
controllable ones -- you have to set a house code and unit code, then
you plug the control unit into the wall. It communicates via the
electrical lines. But the thing is that it can be any electrical line
which is on the same side of the transformer feeding the house. So if
several houses are on the same xformer, it could be someone in another
house down the block screwing with them. You simply wait for them to go
on vacation, break in, replace a few light switches and sockets, maybe
install a remote socket INSIDE the TV, and kick back in your house and
have some fun.... *I haven't done this, but it's entirely possible*...
As for the phone lines -- you can tap anyone's phone line ANYWHERE
between their house and the CO frame... all you need to do is have the
right pair... You have to check EVERY single box between the house and
the CO... Be careful, and look for wires tied to the inside of the wire
cans before opening them -- some folks will tie a "ripout" wire to their
tap-off and to the inside of the wire can cover so it all gets yanked
when opened... This person could be at a can in a forest preserve or
some other remote location and doing this... Look for remotely located
cans, footprints, etc...
I'd definately look into the X10 stuff -- check the sockets to see if
they've been modified...

Hmmm... have any of the neighbors gone on vacation?
How about the victims? Were they recently on vacation, or gone for an
extended period of time when the culprit could have broken in and set
things up?

Sounds like you got your hands on one of the old "aqua box" text files.
Those things don't work anymore, both because there are faster and easier
ways for the FBI to trace a phone call and because new telecommunications
technology doesn't work the same as it did in the aqua box days. And you
would need much more than a flashlight bulb to 'drain' the voltage present
to keep your phone off-hook, if this even would work at all. Attaching a
9-volt battery to tip and ring could result in severe acid burns, and
especially is the phone happens to ring while you're doing such a thing.
Don't waste your time with those old 'philes' so-called hackers/phreakers
like to spread around their web and FTP sites. Most come out of the
pre-ESS era.

Subject: Induction Coil Taps
I was interested in the induction coil tap.
I currently have made (with a basic undestanding of electronics) A series
transmitter, and a few others. Now I understand that two wires (or coils)
when placed in close proximity of one another will have the same effects as
a capacitor. So I am assuming that amplifying the changes in voltage
produced could potentially power a speaker. The question I have is how
could I get enough current to power a speaker if I can not coil the coil
around one of the phone wires.

I have seen the article, too. But if I'm not mistaken, the Lock-In
trace became obsolete when the phone systems were switched from Cross
Bar <?> to ESS. Am I right in thinking this? I know the FBI no longer
NEEDS the lock in now that all call data is digitally stored. I believe
that the ESS automatically filters excess voltage out of the line,
making the device more or less useless, except to increase the voltage
on your line (possibly to the point of making your phone ring?). I
remember reading awhile ago that line voltage is around 11 volts during
conversation, but rings at about 18 volts (this was several years ago,
does anyone know if it's changed?).
Anyway, have you actually used this device? If so, I'm interested to
know the outcome.

You're right about the off-hook voltage, somewhere around 10 volts or so.
On-hook voltage is usually closer to about 50 volts. I believe both are
AC. Ring should be pulsed DC around 90 volts.
Tip: Do not hold an RJ-11/14 plug in your mouth as the line is ringing. I
learned about this one the hard way. Zap. Plonk.

I found this item and thought it of interest to the list.
Auto Theft
SpectraTek Corporation has introduced the SP 1010 Auto Theft Tracking
System (ATTS) developed to assist law enforcement agencies to deter auto theft
crime in their communities through a Bait Car program. The Bait Car program tar-
gets known offenders, repeat offenders, and areas with high incidences of auto
theft. The system is used in vehicles and is equipped with a hidden CCD camera
and infrared illuminator positioned to see the driver and other front seat occupants.
A microphone picks up any conversation and the trunk contains an equipment
enclosure containing the video transmitter, a Global Positions System (GPS),
a modem and a communications link for cellular phone unit or a VHF or UHF radio
link. The cellular (or radio) sends the GPS-derived location of the Bait Car to
a Command Vehicle and receives remote control command signals, allowing com-
munication between the two. The system is upgradable and allows officials to
fit the equipment to their particular requirements. **************************************************************************

Subject: Re: Induction Coil
Hi Jeff Pristelski,
All current carrying conductors have a magnetic field around them. On any
one of the phone line cable pairs there is a static magnetic field caused
by the power to the phone - this does not interest us. There is also the
analogue voltage which is the speech and this produces a varying magnetic
field.
You must have seen the telephone pickups which have a rubber cup which
attaches to a phone and on the other end has a plug that goes into a tape
recorder? Well the varying magnetic field is picked up by this coil. This
magnetic field induces a small current into the coil and it is then
amplified by the cassette recorder. The suction cup is usually attached to
the handset where the ear-piece is because this area usually a strong
magnetic field due to the 'large' coil in the ear-piece. This is an
induction "tap". There is no physical conection to the line - just one
cause by a residual field.
An induction wire tap is nearly the same as above, except when the coil
being placed next to a phone wire it does not pick up such a strong
magnetic field as its counterpart would from the ear-piece in the handset,
so the circuit must amplify the signal much much more. Also induction
devices that I have seen contain their own power source.
Pls don't think of the coil as a capacitor but as a transformer.

A coat hanger bent in the shape of a "J" is a quick, easy, and
inexpensive method to gain entry into the Ranger. The first few times
you do it will seem like you're trying to find a needle in a haystack,
but with a little practice and patience you'll be snatching that door
open in a matter of seconds.
As far as the Toy goes... I'm not that familiar with them. My advice to
you is to remove the inside door panel and eyeball the countermeasures
that Toyota installed to prevent you from using the SJ...once you can
see the counters you can devise a way around them.

Subject: BADCOFFEE's flame mail
By way of preface, a note to the moderator: if this qualifies as a "Flame,"
please forgive my presumptuosness. If it does not, then I shall try to be
as brief as possible.
After an absence, I checked my E-mail and discovered that BADCOFFEE has
apparently been the recipient of some "flame" mail which criticizes him
for his candor in sharing with the rest of us members his endeavors to
further his craft and, perhaps, enlighten the rest of us.
Since I have no skills which would enrich this area of expertise, I do
not post to the list since to do so would obviously be ludicrous and
waste the valuable time of all concerned, but I am nonetheless an avid
follower of all that is written herein; I find the material entertaining,
thought-provoking, and educational. Of those postings which I read, I am
particularly fond of those written by Trace Carpenter, CRACKED, and
BADCOFFEE.
With respect to BADCOFFEE, he is obviously knowledgeable, and his desire
to learn from others and share that which he does know bespeaks a
refreshing humility and genuine commitment to his area of endeavor.
He also writes with refreshing humor and a selflessness which reminds us
all of our own human frailties vis-a-vis the many faux pas we may have
stumbled upon in our personal/professional pursuits.
Unfortunately, his reward is to be "flamed" by some parent/parents who
believe that he has nefariously set out ot corrupt their children, and
it is this I wish to address.
It is not BADCOFFEE's task in life to rear the children of the parents
of this world who have abdicated their position of parental responsibility
and authority. Little "Johnnie/Suzie" could not access this listing if
Mom/Dad did not provide them with a computer and an internet connection
and the the unsupervised leisure to do with it whatever he/she wished.
Therefore, if you do not want little "Johnnie/Suzie" to read the material
presented herein, Get off you ass and tell them "NO!" If they have trouble
understanding the meaning of that word, YOU, and YOU alone, have within
your purview the power to graphically underscore the meaning of that word!
If you do ot have the intestinal fortitude to exercise that power then you
can blame no one but YOURSELF for "Johnnie/Suzie's" presence here within
this membership.
I am sick and tired of hearing the tearful wails of cowardly or selfish
parents who bemoan the fact that their children have done something
irresponsible and then suggest that the remedy for this is to re-mold
the rest of the world so that their undisciplined and irresponsible
children would not be "tempted." These people are those who would advocate
a return to the intellectual Dark Ages through the mechanism of mindless
censure just so they would not have to look at themselves in the mirror
each day and view the starkness of their parental failures, blaming, instead,
anyone and everyone else for their weaknesses!
If little "Johnnie/Suzie" are in fact predisposed to misuse the information
contained within the postings of this membership, the integrity of their
character has been long-since compromised, and if they were unable to satiate
their nefarious appetites HERE, they would inevitably find a way to do so
ELSEWHERE. Moreover, if their character HAS been compromised at this point
in their lives, it could only have been so because Mom/Dad broke their
respective necks to race forward and provide an handy excuse for "Johnnie/
Suzie" every time they acted irresponsibly; integrity and character do not
magically appear within one as a fully developed phenomenon-- it is the
result of reward and/or punishment in response to success or failure. Once
challenged, integrity will either stand firmly or crumble, and in that respect
it will either succeed or fail.
If it succeeds it will be strengthened, and if it fails-- and the penalty for
that failure is personally repugnant-- it will reassess itself and adjust
accordingly. If, however, it is protected from the consequences of its
failure with a ready and unending supply of excuses designed to insulate
it from reality, it will learn that regardless of how it reacts to any
situation, it will never have to accept responsibility. It will then set
its first step onto the path of... I wonder???
I for one salute BADCOFFEE, and I hope that he is not dissuaded from his
course to share with this membership that which he has to share by the
whimpering, hand-wringing, and moanful wails of those who are either too
busy with their own pursuits or too weak to stand up to their own children
and exercise the responsibility which attends mature parenthood.

Subject: Canadian Cyberstalker Article
Here is the article as it appears in the Lansing State Journal on April 15.
"Cyber-stalker takes over Lake St. Clair village home"
"High-tech harassment cuts electricity, baffles police, Bell Canada"
By David Crary, Associated Press
Emeryville, Ontario - The trouble began in December, when puzzled friends
told Debbie and Dwayne Tamai their telephone calls to the couple were
repeatedly being waylaid and cut off.
A month later, missed messages and strange clicking noises seemed minor when
a disembodied voice, eerily distorted by computer, first interupted a call to
make himself known.
After burping repeatedly, the caller told a startled Debbie Tamais, "I know
who you are. I stole your voice mail."
Mocking, sometimes menacing, the high-tech stalker has become a constant
presence, eavesdropping on family conversations, switching TV channels,
shutting of the electricity - and totally baffling the electronics experts
trying to track his mischief.
He calls himself Sommy. Neither the Tamais nor the police have a clue who
Sommy is, how he does it or why he has targeted this family.
His primary aim seems to be taunting the Tamais while stumping investigators
from the Ontario provincial police, the local electric company and the
national phone company, Bell Canada.
"He told me I can get the best people in the world to come in my home and
they won't find anything," Tamais said. "I'm waiting for the one person to
come and tell me, ' I've found something .' I just want my life back."
Debbie Tamais thinks Sommy rigged their modest, two-story brick house while
it was being built last year, intending to torment whoever moved in.
"Anyone could have had access to it while it was being built," she said.
"Then when we moved in, his fun began. I don't know why he'd pick us out.
We're not exciting people. We work hard, we come home, we go to bed."
Now they feel trapped. Until the mystery is solved, the Tamais doubt anyone
would buy their house, one of five new homes along a little cul-de-sac in
Emeryville, atown of fewer than 1,000 people on the shore of Lake St. Clair,
20 miles east of Detroit.
"We worked a lot of overtime for this house," she said Monday as she played
tapes of Sommy's calls for a reporter. "We moved from Windsor because we
wanted to get away from the ruckus of city life."
Initially, Sommy's interference was mostly annoying. Then his harassment
turned sinister.
"He would threaten me," Debbie Tamais said. "It was very frightening: ' I'm
going to get you. I know where you live.' I befriended him, because the
police asked me to, and he calmed down and said he wasn't going to hurt me.
The more I felt I was kissing his butt, the safer I felt."
But never entirely safe. She says he's made clear he listens to family talks
through household telephones, even with the recievers hung up.
"When I want to have a private conversation, I unplug the phone," she said.
"But we stil whisper."
Police belive Sommy lives in the area and is under 25. He bragged to the
Tamais that police came and went to his house in a door-to-door sweep.
Some private experts have tried to uncover Sommy, including Doug Ralph, a
retired electronic-surveillance expert for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
He concluded Sommy was accessing the Tamais' house through either
underground cables or the nearby Bell Canada wiring station.
"He seems to know an awful lot about phones," she said. "I asked if he had
something against Bell Canada. He said, 'Not really."
Bell Canada has rewired the house several times - each time, Sommy was able
to get back on line, once within 20 minutes.
"He knows exactly what he's doing," said Sgt. Ron Lane, head of the Essex
County police crime unit.
At one point, experts sent 600 volts of electricity through the phone line,
hoping to blow out Sommy's equiptment.
"He just laughed," Debbie Tamai said. "He said, 'What are you trying to do,
zap me? I've got a backup system, stupid."
One of the ordeal's most trying aspects has been the official suspicion
focused on Dwayne Tamai, 34, and the couple's 15-year-old son, Billy. Police
analyzed their voices and now say the family and Billy's closest friend are
in the clear.
"It's been very hard on Billy," she said. "He knew he was being fingered -
even though investigators have sat in the kitchen with him while Sommy was
talking on the phone."
That is the article verbatim. The article is from earlier this week, so as
far as the article reads, this is still happening. If anyone else has more
info, let us know. This is all I have.

Subject: I smell a RAT
This is a quote that you will read again down the page.... >
''There's a buyer for everything,'' Gammon said. ''Who knows? Maybe some
group will buy the home to see if they can find Sommy for themselves.''<
Guys....agree with me on this one. Why couldn't anyone catch "Sommy"??. I
can't put batteries in something correctly....and I think even "I" could have
gotten at least a lead. OK, so there would be no walls left standing in the
house....but I would have found Something. Something doesn't smell correct.
Immediately after I posted the original article the SPYKING and YOU guy's
immidately found a solution answered every single problem that plaigued this
family. I am thinking that "Sommy".....is really "Mommy".
ONE more note: If anyone lives near the house, I would like to know what the
price of the house is in comparison to fair market value. (anyone else
remember the Amityville horror scam)
EMERYVILLE, Ontario (April 17) - The couple who claim their home has been
invaded by a high-tech stalker called Sommy have put their three-bedroom
house on the market.
''We just want to get out of here and start over somewhere else,'' said
Debbie Tamai, whose family has been troubled by a stalker who taps into phone
lines and turns power outlets off and on.
Jim Gammon, who sold the custom-built brick ranch house to the Tamais
last fall, says the presence of Sommy won't necessarily deter potential
buyers.
''There's a buyer for everything,'' Gammon said. ''Who knows? Maybe some
group will buy the home to see if they can find Sommy for themselves.''
After weeks of being courted by the media and having crowds drive by to
gawk at their house, the family said they want to go back to living
anonymously.
''We won't tell anyone where we're going,'' said Debbie Tamai. ''I want
to find a house that a nice older couple have been living in for the past 50
years without any problems.''
Police, Bell Canada and Ontario Hydro investigators have failed to
pinpoint the source of the trouble.
Emeryville, a town of less than 1,000 people, is located on the shore of
Lake St. Clair, 20 miles east of Detroit.

Subject: And she's no blond...
There is a thread about those supermarket "discount customer" cards
in misc.consumer. Here's MY followup:
Dear Mr. Jones:
We noticed you've not picked up any condoms at SpiffyMart recently.
(Your last purchase was 8 weeks ago.) Further, you have stopped
buying feminine hygiene products, but have sharply increased
your frozen pizza and dinners usage in the same time frame.
It's clear that Ms. Jody Sanders has dumped you. (It's probably
for the best - we knew she was a loser from that cheap shampoo she
buys.) We confirmed this with the Post Office database -- yep, she
filed a change of address.
We at Horny International offer our condolences. As the number-one
vender of hot X-rated videos, we'd like to help you out in this
time of stress. If you're feeling lonely, check out our catalog of
both VHS and super 8 tapes.
Order now and we throw in an extra tape FREE!
Yours Truly;
Sleazy Jerk, Marketing Manager.
P.S. That "blond" at O'Dougles last Saturday -- you bought her
2nd Strawberry Martini? Forget it! She's on her third yeast
infection in as many months, and is a 'regular' at Acme Pharmacy.
(Her HMO computer gossips with ours.) You never know what else she
might have. Our tapes are LOTS safer!..

I reply:
I just bought a Toshiba cordless last week it was $54 at Circuit City and
has voice scramble. Because the handset to main base is the only area of
concern I felt that the scramble was better money spent than buying 900 mhz
which will be (and is now I am sure) easily picked up by other devices.

krazy glue (tm) or any other product containing both methyl and ethyl
cyanoacrylates. look on the warnings, and it should say "warning: bonds skin.
contains cyanoacrylate" or something like that.
ever used model airplane glue? got some on your fingers? touched something?
noticed how it left a perfect rock-hard fingerprint? use krazy glue and watch
what happens. here's how to do a sample... "dusting" a "car"
*get a cheap hot-wheels car.
*put on rubber gloves
*open the package
*get someone to touch the car
*put the car inside a plastic container w/ lid
*put a few drops of krazy glue on some tin foil
*put the foil in with the car an close the lid
*wait while the fumes work
*take the car out, ditch the glue
*admire finger prints
don't do this anywhere close to your tv/computer lest you find permanent white
fingerprints all over the place.

A few days ago I was speaking with a fellow amateur radio fan who mentioned
a scanner with coverage better than the AOR8000. If I recall correctly, he
said it covers from 200 KHz to 1.3 GHz continuous. The brand is supposed to
be something like Trident, Triton, etc. As of this writing I haven't done
any kind of internet search, but I have looked through QST and checked an
old Grove catalog without locating anything similar. Any ideas? I've also
heard rumor that there is a company still selling the AOR8000 with
continuous coverage through 1.2 GHz. Does anyone know if this is true?

Instrument Technology Inc. (IT) is pleased to announce the introduction of its Under The Door Remote Viewing Kit Model 135301 - designed specifically for surveillance use.
Initially created for custom applications, the company found an increasing demand for the abilities provided by this surveillance tool.
"When you can provide full-room viewing from the quarter-inch space under a door, you know you'll generate interest in the law enforcement community" noted company president, Jeff Carignan, at the product's unveiling.
"We're showing law enforcement professionals way to achieve their objectives while minimizing their risks," he continued. "You know ahead of time if the target is alone; if the door is barred in some way. The kit also gives the user the option of hooking up a video camera attachment, or watching the target visually. Using this scope makes the odds for success much better."
This particular kit is designed to deliver evidence suitable for court presentation, and priced to be within the budget of any department.

Saw the Canadian cyberstalker profiled on NBC's Dateline on Friday and got to
wondering, this "Sommy" guy obviously knows his electronics. Sounds like he's
using telco equipment and more than likely is a former or current telco
employee, since the authorities cannot trace his calls. He's also probably
using a tone decoder to gain access to their voice mail password and using a
universal remote control to access their cable tv programing. Surveillance
sweeps cannot find any bugs because there probably isn't any on the premises.
The phone lines can be easily accessible by telco personnel and is one of the

Subject: ACME Adoption Search CA & IL
Dear Fellow PI's,
Many of you have used my birth index searches for the State of Illinois and
California to help adoptees.
There will be a price increase effective May 1, 1997 for these searches. If
you have a client who needs these index's searched it will be much more cost
effective to do so prior to May 1.
Ca & IL Birth Index Searches cost $250 each. No hit, no fee.
How the search works:
For Adoptees in search: You give ACME the names of the adoptees adoptive
parents, the adoptees name, birth certifacate number and ACME returns the
names of the birth parents as they are listed on the original birth
certificate *ACME can not be held responsible for strange results,
including no father listed, and birth mothers listed only by last name...we
didn't create the data, we only report what we find.
For Birth Parents in search: You give ACME the names of the birth parents,
the baby's name at birth (usually Baby girl __(DOE)__, and ACME returns the
names of the adoptive parents and adptive name of the child as they are
listed on the AMENDED birth certificate.
After these searches are completed it is usually no more than a skip trace
to locate the person(s) sought after, and ACME will leave that to you.
May 1, 1997 these searches will increase to $300. each. These searches
are conducted by hand and are very time consuming. In some instances
(especially with common names) they can take over 40 hours of looking at
microfiche to complete.
ACME Information is always looking for new sources of birth index
information. If you have access tot he birth index in your State or County
please e-mail ACME of you price to retrieve names from your index.
Also, ACME now will pay for newspaper clippings of adoption announcements.
These are located in the legals section of many newspapers. ACME will pay
.02 for each announcement (yep, it ain't much we know, but save them up for
a month and see how many you end up with!) These must include the name of
the city. State, and newspaper they were from. Send clippings to the
address in the Tag line.
ACME will pay .05 per clipping if they are taken from a paper prior to 1970.
If you are down at the library looking for an old item and you run across
these, simply copy that part of the newspaper and mail them in. They MUST
be readable to qualify for payment!
Thank you for your time,
Leah

Subject: A thought on the Sommy case
Just a thought on the Sommy case. If he is working for the Telco, what
are the chances they really want the public to know. I would think
there would be major lawsuits launched and if the home owner could prove
that the Telco had any idea it was an employee prior to his being found
they could probably add an extra zero to the suit amount. There's not
much incentive for the Telco to produce this guy. They would be better
served to just fire him one day and hope it all goes away.
as I said it's just a thought.
Also about the A-10 that went missing....ever see the movie "Broken

You might try north of the border (Canada). I understand you can acquire "unblocked" scanners there with no problem... I have several scanners,
one being the "unblocked" AOR-3000 with continuous coverage between 100 Khz
and 2036 Mhz. I also have two Icom R-7000 with "unblocked" coverage of 25 Mhz
to 1999.999 Mhz and a Watkins-Johnson HF-1000 Digital HF DSP Receiver with coverage of 5 Khz to 30 Mhz. You can get the coverage you require although you may need to use a few different pieces of equipment...
You might try: http://www.li.net/~j4dice/links.html
There are a ton of scanner links there and you should be able to find
what you need...

Subject: Valentine 1 Radar Detector/Locator
Dear list members,
I haven't seen anyone write about the Valentine 1 radar
detector/locator, but I want to share with you some very interesting
facts concerning this remarkable device.
I have used Valentine 1 for over 3 years and recently had my unit
upgraded. I am not a "Speeder," but just a person who marvels and
appreciates such a unique device. What I have found, in the long
run, is that this device makes one aware of many operating
electronics devices, such as "door openers" and "burglar alarms" and
many other devices that are operated with certain specified
frequencies within your community or elsewhere.
However, the most interesting feature of the Valentine 1 is the fact
that this device is the only radar locator having detection
capabilities along with it. If an X-band signal created by an
electronic door opener is detected, the Valentine 1 will confirm how
many are electronically operating at that time and the locator will
confirm the location of them. Yes, it also tells you precisely how
many it is picking up. You would think if you have one door that
opens, you should have another that closes? Sometimes this means 2
bogies as Valentine 1 would pick it up as, rather than just detecting
an X-band signal that doesn't tell the whole story.
However, around in my area, I have found out, that some burgular
alarms are K-band along with door openers that are X-band. I was
puzzled on day, back a couple of years ago, on passing by a store
when K-band was detected. But I didn't pay much attention to it, for
I thought a policeman was nearby. However, after a number of times
of passing near the store, K-band would go off, I decided to see if I
could find out where it was coming from. It took a few minutes by
turning my car around the suspecting area before I realized that the
store had installed a burglar alarm with K-band detection. I could
actually verify the location and the signal strength and know for
certain where it was coming from.
The possibilities are numerous with this device. I have enjoyed
using it in the car and found it quite a marvel. My wife, in the
beginning, didn't think much of it, but now enjoys having it on when
she drives alone, especially at night. Also, if you plan on going on
trips across the USA, warning hazards are becoming a reality where
K-band signals are sent out to cars approaching dangerous curves or
construction sites. Most radar detectors can detect K-band, but
Valentine 1 beats out all detectors in terms of sensitivity,
selectivity, and most of all, the only one having a locator that
points ahead, behind, or on the sides, if detection of the radar
bands is made.
However, they are expensive but worth every penny. They have X, K,
Ka, and Laser detection capabilities along with the locator. There
are accessories available for it, for example, concealed unit display
so that other drivers don't tail along with you when they see you
have a radar detector.
Read the write up in the April issue of "Car and Driver" and examine
the results for yourself. You might find other possibiliies with
this wonderful unit! The unit sells for around $399 with Laser, but
you can get it without Laser if you wish. This is truly a wonderful
device. You can't find it in any other stores but only through
Valentine Research, Inc.
Included below is the address and phone number if you wish to
obtain more information.. They will send you a beautiful brochure
explaining alot of details that I haven't covered.

The FBI is using a 1994 law (CALEA, or the "Communications Assistance
to Law Enforcement Act") to force telecommunications companies to
change their equipment and facilities to weaken privacy protection and
provide enhanced wiretap access for government agents. In 1994,
Congress authorized a half-billion dollars to pay for changes in old
technology but blocked actual funding until last year when Congress
both set up a special "slush fund" using excess funds from intelligence
and law enforcement agencies and said the FBI could spend part of the
money authorized in 1994. But Congress prohibited spending any money
until the FBI submitted an implementation plan approved by Congress.
The annual appropriations process gives us yet another chance to tell
Congress not to allow this unprecedented attack on our privacy. Let

funding this attack on your telephone privacy.

I have just completed deal with new video camera manufacturer as exclusive rep for their new MicroChip video camera with pinhole lens and audio. This camera is not available from any other source... It's got a lot of great features, applications and super pricing...
The amazing new MicroChip Pinhole Camera with Audio offered EXCLUSIVELY by
Codex features 380 lines of resolution and an incredible low light rating of
.02 lux. But its most amazing feature is the pinhole lens, which has an
opening of less than 1/32". This amazing camera delivers clear, sharp, black
& white video images...
This camera can be mounted inside beepers, baseball caps, briefcases, wall clocks, picture frames, exit signs, neck ties, and other places limited only by your imagination. All that is required for clear, sharp B&W video is a tiny pinhole. At less than 1/2" thick and 1" square, this video camera is small enough to mount just about anywhere, and the weight is only 3/4 of an ounce!
It can be used with ANY TV, CCTV monitor, video tape recorder or video transmitter. You can also use it with the Mini-8 video recorder to create an excellent bodycam system. The picture quality is incredible.
It works equally well in low light...this camera can practically "see in
the dark." The field of view is a wide, but undistorted 90 degrees for good coverage without having to worry about "pointing" the camera.
The MicroChip Pinhole Camera runs on 9-12 volts DC and outputs standard
monochrome NTSC video. It is compatible with all transmitters, or any
standard VCR or monitor. PAL format IS available at same price.
The MicroChip Video Camera with Audio is NOT available from any other source.
It was designed by and manufactured exclusively for Codex. You can view the camera at: http://www.thecodex.com/pin.html

Anyone seen or have copy of article on "Sommy" that appeared in Windsor Star newspaper in Ontario? Apparently they mentioned our thread on "Sommy". If any list member has it, can they forward to list?
Also on Saturday night at approx 2145 hrs MSNBC did a piece on the "Sommy" stalking investigation. It was quite indepth with interviews with the family, local police and several others. Apparently MSNBC hired a Canadian TSCM firm recommended by the Canadian Communications Establishment to perform a TSCM survey of the target premises.
According to the story they spent six hours in the house and could find no evidence of electronic eavesdropping or remote control type devices. They even broke down some walls.
Some footage showed the TSCM tech using an IFR spectrum analyzer and CSR-1. Other footage also revealed unlocked power boxes and telephone drop boxes on
the side of the single family house.
An interesting statement by the wife revealed that when "Sommy" called, both online parties heard a click (like an extension being lifted) and 'Sommy" spoke.
In my opinion he was using a handset or had accessed the target families cable & pair off a 52A block possibly on the side of a neighboring house or close-by appearance...

Dumb question about this micro-cam: O.K., it's small enough to conceal
inside a soda cracker...so where do you hide the TV, VCR CCTV or
transmitter? Is the camera wired to them? Is it in itself a transmitter?
Or does is store images & sound on a chip for "download" later to VHS
format? Also, how long does it record? Finally, can it be re-placed in
various disguises, or once it is in place, is it fixed in that hat, clock,
etc.? Sorry this sounds like a stupid question, but I AM really dumb about
this equipment...

+++Moderator's Note+++
Think of this camera as the "eye & ear" in a video surveillance system. It is a stand alone CCD board with pinhole lens and microphone. It must be plugged into power source (9-12 VDC battery or AC power) and it must be pugged into video & audio "in" on a TV, Monitor, VCR or video transmitter system to transmit or view the picture the "eye" is seeing... the wires can be run discreetly in a number of ways...
It CAN be placed inside just about anything. It can be permanently mounted or temporarily mounted using double sided tape or other means.
I have placed this camera inside clocks, desktop radios, computers, beepers, briefcases, pocketbooks, etc. It can be hidden in just about anything. I am currently experimenting with a special pair of sunglasses to mount the camera inside one lens and run wiring down the frame into "around-the-neck" eyeglass holder , down back into 8MM video recorder (worn in the small of your back).
It makes a great video bodywire at a fraction of the cost of the current products on the market. We've also mounted this camera inside a pager worn on the belt and plugged into 8mm video recorder worn in small of back or inside fanny pack...
The uses for this camera are only limited by your imagination. You can install this camera inside a VCR, unplug the "on" lights and use it as a self contained video surveillance system... the applications are endless...

First of all Jim, no one mentioned that the telco was aware or covering up
anything. No one knows who this guy is, remember.
Second of all, this guy Sommy obviously has access to or owns some pretty
sophisticated electronic equipment, the type of equipment that a telco would
have.
Third, if this Sommy is indeed a telco employee, the only reasonable grounds
for a lawsuit against the telco is if there was negligence on the telco's
part.

What a thing of beauty it would be if Cyberangels achieved what so
many "professionals" could not! The Canadian police and all those
who helped in the case would be the laughing stock of cyberspace, and
rightfully so. There is no reason this faimly had to suffer as long

Felipe,
Be VERY careful with dog training schools. There are many schools out
there which will be glad to take your money, but really don't give you
what you need as far as police dog training. As a former K-9 officer
and trainer I would suggest you get with a good schutzin club in your
area until you get the basics down and work from there. The other
suggetion would be to get with someone who knows what they're doing and
work with them. I personally have been training dogs since I was about
12 for other people. When I got with the K-9 unit, I found out how much
more there was that I never dreamed of. Also, the type of training
you're wanting is very "guarded", I'll warn you in advance.
Narcotics/Bomb Detection is a touchy subject and remember, you have to
be able to get the substances to train with.

You could also join the US Air Force and attend their dog handlers school at Lackland AFB. ;-) It's supposed to be the best...

Hi-Tech Hunt Misses Cyberstalker
-----
April 19, 1997
Toronto Sun
EMERYVILLE, Ont. (CP) -- An electronic stalker haunting a family home
since December eluded an espionage team hired by two television networks.
The team and its secretive, hi-tech gizmos couldn't locate the stalker,
who calls himself Sommy, after a two-day sweep of the Windsor-area home
of Dwayne and Debbie Tamai.
"Our position on this matter is that no further action by (our team) is
warranted at this time," Trevor Stewart, lead member of the Nepean Systems
Inc. crew, said yesterday.
The company was brought in by the Discovery Channel, which plans to air
its show on Sommy on Monday, and Dateline NBC, which aired its feature
last night.
"Nothing was found that would allow NSI to take this case to the next
level," said Mike Cosentino, spokesman for the Discovery Channel.
SWEEPING
"It was worth it for us because we're looking at the science behind
electronic sweeping.
"The show still stands, the result is different."
Cosentino said NSI had hoped to be able to trace Sommy or at least
provide police with clues as to his whereabouts.
The electronic intruder -- who police believe may be more than one
perpetrator -- has tapped the family's phone lines, interrupting
conversations with burps and babble.
He has overheard conversations in the house and seems to control
the home's electrical power, turning the entire system or individual
appliances on or off at will.
Stewart, 41, is a former RCMP officer and Canadian Security Intelligence
Service agent.
He said the team was composed of intelligence and security experts
from "a wide variety of backgrounds," but so secretive is their work
that further information about their experience is being kept under
wraps. Stewart would also not reveal what equipment
was used for the sweep.
FEATURES
Security experts say the Tamais' custom-built home probably included a
few features the family did not bargain for, including devices to listen
in on conversations and to control the electrical system.
The family has put the house up for sale.
--End of Article--
Personal note on the belief that the house was rigged before anyone moved
in: It seems that Ontario Bell would put out such a statement because
they don't want to publicly admit that their COE (Central Office
Equipment) is being compromised by someone.

Subject: ***"Sommy" caught!***
Well, it's official. "Sommy", the mysterious "cyberstalker" who has
been hounding the Tamai family of Emeryville, Ont. has been caught.
According to a report from CBC Radio today, the Ontario Provincial
Police managed to trace the source of the electronic harrassment to
somewhere *inside* the Tamai's home.
Turns out that "Sommy" is none other than the Tamai's 15 year-old son.
According to Mrs. Tamai, the enterprising little bugger is going to
get counselling to deal with his obvious emotional problems. The
police do not plan to lay any charges in the affair.

Subject: THE COFFEE MAN SCORES ONE POINT...
I say MOM pinned it on the kid cause "YOU" were getting too close to the
truth.\
LOL, read on........
EMERYVILLE, Ont. - The teenage son of a Windsor-area couple has admitted that
he is the electronic intruder who harassed the family over a period of
several months.
Debbie Tamai issued a statement Sunday saying that 15-year-old Billy made a
full confession after police asked him to come in for questioning on the
weekend.
She also apologized for the actions of her son, who was able to elude
investigators, Bell Canada, Ontario Hydro and even an espionage team hired by
two television networks.
Provincial police said it was an inside job and no charges will be laid.
"It was an internal family matter," said Sgt. Doug Babbitt.
"After going through the evidence gathered and the interviews, we concluded
that charges would revictimize the family. . . . We felt it would be better
for (the family) to settle this themselves than to charge them."
The electronic stalker, known as Sommy, began haunting the custom-built home
of Dwayne and Debbie Tamai in December.
He tapped into the family's phone lines, interrupting conversations with
burps and babble.
The family recently put their house up for sale to escape him.
Several times throughout the investigation, Debbie Tamai had argued her son
was not responsible.
She was asked to bring him in for questioning and did so with the intention
of clearing his name through a lie-detector test.
Instead, he confessed to his family and police.
After the initial shock, Tamai said, the family realized he was a young man
crying out for help and he will receive counselling to deal with his
emotions.
A two-day sweep last week by a team of intelligence and security experts
loaded with high-tech gizmos failed to reveal Sommy's methods. The team was
brought in by Dateline NBC and the Discovery Channel, which had plans to air
its program Monday.
Babbitt said a process of elimination led police to conclude no devices were
ever planted in the home.
They also ruled out an intrusion into the Bell Canada system. Bell had
rewired the two-storey home several times.
"We eliminated all external sources and interior sources," said Babbitt.
He added that every time investigators set up equipment to try and track down
the intruder, Sommy wouldn't call for eight or 10 days.
Emeryville is a town of fewer than 1,000 people on the shore of Lake St.
Clair, 30 kilometres east of Detroit.

Subject: Intro
Just got into this site ... most interesting and educational. A couple of
items, although they may have been overtaken by events ...
For those looking at the Sommy incident in Canada ... Definitely a 'scam'
... with today's technology it could probably be done, but with rewiring
and a variety of telephone traces [reverse tracing on anything incoming],
location of Sommy could be determined at least to city where coming from
within 180-360 seconds. Power control from outside residence hard to
believe could happen... suspect it is an inside job for one reason or
another.
For BadCoffee ... your interest in locks, etc is most appreciated. If you
don't have in your collection of reference manuals on the subject, suggest
"The Complete Handbook of Locks and Locksmithing" published by TAB books,
Blue Ridge Summit, PA. Note there are several editions out. Highly
recommend first edition [single author]. Later editions have dual author
credits, but regretfully, the second author just rewrote some sections,
deleted a number of items and actually--in my opinion--lowered the quality
of the book. If can't track down the first edition, suggest local library
to find a copy.
FYI [everyone out there] -- MY BACKGROUND, from which I may be able to
provide insight, direction, information, etc, is as follows:
Former Army CI. Surveillance, penetration, "research"
Professional writer in security field [physical, information, risk
management, etc]
Numerous years with USGovt
Training instructor [course research, development, presentation] in a
number of interesting areas.
Okay... I will be reading the daily page and responding as necessary with
what I hope is good information. Like the page, see excellent potential
since information is to be shared and individual learning comes only from
the passing of knowlege from one person to another.

H-47a: AOL4FREE.COM Trojan Horse Program
Destroys Hard Drives
April 17, 1997 23:00 GMT
PROBLEM: A Trojan Horse program called AOL4FREE.COM that deletes all
files on a hard drive is circulating the Internet.
PLATFORM: DOS/Windows-based PCs
DAMAGE: When the AOL4FREE.COM program is executed, all files and
directories on the users C: drive are deleted.
SOLUTION: DO NOT execute this program. If the program starts executing,
quickly pressing Ctrl-C will save some of your files.
VULNERABILITY Users who download the trojaned AOL4FREE.COM program and
ASSESSMENT: executes it will destroy all the files and directories on
their
DOS C: drive.
CIAC has obtained a Trojaned copy of AOL4FREE.COM that destroys hard drives.
NOTE: This is different from the AOL4FREE Virus Warning hoax message.
CIAC has obtained a Trojaned copy of the AOL4FREE.COM program that, if run,
deletes all the files on a user's hard drive. If you are e-mailed this file,
or if you have downloaded it from an online service, do not attempt to run
it.
If the program was received as an attachment to an e-mail message, do not
double click (open) it. Opening an attached program runs that program, which
in this case deletes all the files on your hard drive. The original
AOL4FREE was a Macintosh program for fraudulently creating free AOL

accounts. Note that any attempt to use the original AOL4FREE program may
subject you to prosecution.
NOTE: Most antivirus programs will not detect this or other Trojan Horse
programs.
Detection
=========
AOL4FREE.COM is a Trojan program that is 993 bytes (2 sectors) long.
The following text is readable in the AOL4FREE.COM file
if you display it with the DOS TYPE command or the DOS EDIT program.
Compiled by BAT2EXEC 1.5
PC Magazine . Douglas Boling
Note that this text may appear in any program compiled with the BAT2EXEC
program and has nothing to do with the Trojan Horse.
If you open the AOL4FREE.COM file with a disk editor or with the Windows
Notepad program, the following text is found at the end of the second sector
of the file.

ECHOOYOUR COMPUTER HAS JUST BEEN F***ED BY *VP* F*** YOU AOL-LAMER
Where F*** is a common vulgar explicative.
Recovery
========
Pressing Ctrl-C before the Trojan Horse finishes deleting all your files will
save some of them. If the program runs to completion, all the files on
your root drive will have been deleted. The files are deleted with the
DOS DELTREE command, so the contents of the files are still on your hard
disk, only the directory entries have been deleted. Any program that can
recover deleted files will allow you to recover some or all of the files
on your hard disk.
While attempting to recover files, be sure to not write any new files onto
the hard disk as the new files may overwrite the contents of a deleted file,
making it impossible to recover. You will probably have to boot your system
with a floppy and run any recovery programs from there.
If you happen to have one of the delete tracking programs installed on your
system (a program that keeps track of deleted files in case you want them
back) the recovery operation will be relatively simple. Follow the directions
in your delete tracking program to recover your files. If not, you will
probably have to recover each file individually, supplying the first
character
of the file name, which is overwritten in the directory when the file is
deleted. Most DOS/Windows disk tools programs also have the capability for
recovering deleted files so follow the directions included with those
programs
to do so.
Background
==========
The original AOL4FREE Macintosh program was developed to fraudulently
create free
AOL accounts. The creator of that program has pleaded guilty to defrauding
America Online for distributing that program. Anyone else attempting to use
that program to defraud AOL could also be prosecuted.
The AOL4FREE Virus Warning message has been circulating about the Internet
and warns of an AOL4FREE virus infected e-mail message that infects and
destroys a system when the message is read, but that warning is a hoax
and not about this Trojan horse.
1. The AOL4FREE.COM program is a Trojan Horse, not a virus. It does not
spread on its own.
2. A Trojan Horse must be run to do any damage.
3. Reading an e-mail message with the Trojan Horse program as an attachment
will not run the Trojan Horse and will not do any damage. Note that
opening an attached program from within an e-mail reader runs that
attached program, which may make it appear that reading the attachment
caused the damage. Users should keep in mind that any file with a .COM or
.EXE extension is a program, not a document and that double clicking or
opening that program will run it. Macintosh users have the additional
problem that Macintosh programs do not have readable extensions, and so
are more difficult to detect. Extra care should be taken to insure
that you do not unintentionally execute an attached program.
CIAC still affirms that reading an e-mail message, even one with an attached
program, can not do damage to a system. The attachment must be both downloaded
onto the system and run to do any damage.

Operating Frequencies: 10.525 GHz (X-band)
24.150 GHz (K-band)
33.4 GHz - 36.0 GHz (Ka-band)
Photo-Radar uses a very narrow band of Ka. It varies
from one country to another.

My knoweldge is the receiver is located in your garage (passive
device) and the transmitter would be in a car. Therefore, no, the
garage door opener does not emit a constant signal. Thank God!

It depends. Sometimes, police leave their K-band units on all the
time. That I know for sure! It drives me crazy. The theory,
perhaps for this, is to keep the unit in shape better and calibrated.
Not so for "Instant On" Radar and Laser, though. Used in some areas,
such as Laser, however, the drawback for police officers, is that
they must be outside (generally) of the car, and they have more work
to do in setting up the radar device. Not very good for cold
mornings! Don't blame them.

Not sure. The burglar alarms that I know that are K-band operated,
emit a constant K-band signal. They can be detected pretty far away.
No problem finding them, for sure.

I am not an expert in this field, so I must defer an judgement.
However, remember this: if the device emits a signal within the
operating range listed above, and if the range is detectable, I don't
see why it can't, unless the duration of the signal is extremely
small in micro-seconds???

Yes, but you better watch out! Police are pretty smart people, also.
Active devices that are jammers are sold, but usually, not worth the
money. However, some homebrew electronics expert can do it. The
problem, we must understand, is that tranmission of a signal is
governed by the Communications Act in the U.S.. My understanding, is
that if you transmit a bonafide K-band signal to a police car while
their K-band was turned on and some funny stuff starts happening, my
guess, only, is they may pull you over and if they find such an
illegal device, the active jammer, you could be in deep trouble.
Be careful!
> Also: What other things might my trusty radar detector pick up.....
>
Sometimes, it can pick up other radar detectors from a distance!
Usually you will find them on the Ka bands. The testing I have
seen on many radar dectectors are not 100% perfect in stopping this.
Laser detection is interesting. There are some areas that are using
certain Microwave frequencies to transmit road data from one location
to another to regulate traffic better. In Troy, Michigan, there are
such areas. I have detected every single one of them!
Oh by the way, most of the new radar detectors are VG2 stealthed.
That is, they cannot be detected by such devices, such as VG2, that
law enforcement uses in a few states where radar detectors are
illegal and in some parts of Canada.

Dear moderator,
One such eyeglass holder you may want to consider is "Croakies". It is a
1/2" wide elastic band that affords good coverage of a body wire. It has
the bonus of being something that is slipped up over the eyeglass frame from
behind the ear. This 1" long fabric "tunnel" would give a concealed pathway
to run this wire to the nape of your neck, then down you back.
Of, course, a "Croakie" worn to a black-tie event would be completely out of
character -- unless you can pull off a "movie star" of bad-boy athlete pretext.
Thanks, Joe Alercia, for the follow-up phone call about this microcam. I'd

Finally, does anybody have some thoughts about how to keep cool during

Subject: Sommy Case, some thoughts
Ok, here are some thoughts on the Sommy Case. Being a 15 year old, excuse
the snappy remarks ( |-)) ANyhow,
It was The 15 year old son who did the "spying/stalking" now,
"Sommy" listened in on all conversations, blah blah blah, yet no bugs could
be found, no means of transmitting, etc. Wouldn't this be just _slightly_
obvious that is was an inside job. Other then a few other possiblilities
(laser listener, etc) it would be slightly hard to listen in.
TV going on/ off, electricity, same thing, another obvious pointer,
who else can do that, take your own remote, turn on TV, say that you don't
know where remote is. Turn off main breaker switch.
Listen in on phone calls, if cordless; scanner, if not, just pick up
an extension. Tough.
Anyhow, it seemd like a big plot to raise house price. Hmmm, maybe
I should stalk myself and sell me stuff for more. What a concept. Looks
like BadCoffee was right. All this stuff. Also, the kid is only going to
get a strong talking too? Hmm, seems that he should get more then that.
Maybe a reward for raising the house. Maybe a job for enhancing a product<-
(that was a joke).
I apologize if anything offended someone, just a few thoughts about
"Sommy" Anyhow, what a hoax/waste of time. Fun though.
If everybody liked my thought, say so. If there is a response,
maybe I'll write about the A-10 that was "lost".
Great list, continue the great work. And BTW, please don't flame me
for this!! I don't need it!!
Peace, and l8r,

Yep. K band is 24.150 ghz, Y band is something I cannot locate at the
moment, and X band is 10.525 Ghz. FYI, Ka band is 34.60 Ghz and Laser
operates at 800-1100nm (IR light, I assume).
> Does garage door opener send constant signal or only when in use?.
Only when you push the button.
> Is the Beep Beep Beep "Someones using a microwave" theory sorrect.
Microwave ovens operate at 2.45 Ghz. I suppose a flaky radar detector
could detect a leaky microwave short distances away, but I never have
seen such a thing happen.

I rode around in cruisers for over a year some time ago (just a couple
years ago, really) and I noticed many officers just leave their radar guns
on while driving to their next hiding place. If they saw someone driving
hellishly fast, they may point the radar gun in their direction, but
otherwise, you wouldn't think they were using it. I doubt the cruiser
itself is setting off your detector. There's nothing particularly special
about a police cruiser compared to a civilian vehicle, other than the
fancy lights and sirens, that is.

Subject: Re: Dumb question about this micro-cam
First, no question (when asked honestly) is dumb! Only a year or two ago,
I had the exact questions and luckily, someone sat down, talked to me.
My most popular cameras are the type you ask about and my BEST demo is far
from hidden.
First, the "demo" ... it is a 1/16" I/R sensitive pinhole mounted in a
3"X5" black box. A DB9 (like a mouse uses) protrudes from the bottom
carrying signals. Next to the monitor is the transmitter it is hooked to,
another box about 6"X4". No one ever notices these very obvious items
until I point them out. The reason is their excellent disguise! On the
front of both is a sticker proclaiming it "Windows '95 Compatable."
Everyone assumes it is part of the computer setup here and ignores it.
Next, I have a colour version mounted in the front of a fairly ordinary
ball cap (a friend embroidered a design to the front, an attempt to hide
the pinhole). Along each side are a set of AAA batteries then atop it is a
simple 500mw "plate" style transmitter with antenna woven into the brim.
We have taken this into the heart of drug deals, photographed clearly
enough to recover serial numbers from money that changed hands. With a
range of about a half mile, work becomes VERY easy.
Fortunatly, these "component" items are becoming available so that
everyone can place the parts into normal surroundings. the CIA captured
spys with cameras in trash cans, baby sitter monitors in VCR's are the
rage, simple brief cases (or for voyeurs, gym type duffel bags) have all
worked great.

TELE-MONITOR 2000
The Tele-Monitor 2000 is a very sophisticated audio monitoring device.
Utilizing advanced logic-chip technology, it enables you to discreetly listen
in on your premises via regular telephone lines from any telephone in the
world! The Tele-Monitor 2000 requires no activating beeper or whistle, does
not affect normal incoming and outgoing calls, and offers unprecedented capability and flexibility by allowing up to 4 units per line to be connected. It allows you to listen in on your premises with ease! The unit's sensitive microphone will pick up even a whisper up to 35 feet away. The Tele-Monitor 2000 requires a two-step user identity verification process before allowing monitoring access. This latest model also has a "quick access" mode option for applications on a dedicated line. To monitor, just dial your phone number from any tone telephone, access the monitor, and then push the button on the phone corresponding to the area you wish to listen in on. You may "move" around the premises (if you have multiple units connected) as much as you desire--just push the number of the desired area and it instantly transfers monitoring to that zone. You can switch between areas as much as you like for as long as you like. Or, by pushing "5", you can monitor all areas simultaneously. The Tele-Monitor 2000 is a completely self-contained unit; no actual telephone is required for its operation. Equipped with modular plugs for instant connection to telephone
jacks. Needs no batteries. Dimensions: 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" x 1". Price: $199.
THE X-PHONE
The X-Phone works and looks like a standard telephone. But it also has the
capability to function as an advanced remote audio monitoring device. It's so
sophisticated that you don't even need to call in to see if there's activity
in the area; it will continuously monitor the area and call you when
something is happening. When audio activity occurs in the area of the
X-Phone, it silently and automatically calls the telephone number you have
programmed. when you answer, you are immediately and clearly listening to all
of the audio activity in the area of the X-Phone. The intruders there have no
idea whatsoever that the innocuous-looking telephone over there has not only
detected them, but has already called you and you're listening to every word
they're saying! You can then call 911 or take other appropriate action. It
can be an effective component of your home or business security system. The
X-Phone can be programmed to call any telephone in the world, and the number
to be called can be changed as often as you require. Additionally, this
sophisticated unit has the capabilities to provide unprecedented and
devastating new surveillance options; however, you are warned that it is to
be used only in a legal and lawful manner in compliance with all applicable
laws and F.C.C. regulations. Simple to use--it operates as a fully
functioning regular telephoneuntil you activate it. When you leave your home
or business, just punch in the telephone number of where you'll be at, flick
the special switch on the phone, and you're set. It will call you when
there's something you need to hear. Price: $249.
FAX-LINE SPY
This device was originally developed to meet a particular federal agency's
requirements for audio monitoring capability in certain office environments.
It installs in just seconds on the fax line--a generally ignored and
unguarded gateway into many offices. This device enables the user to utilize
a working dedicated fax line as a private audio monitoring line. Every fax
machine owner is familiar with the fax ringing but no fax coming through
(usually due to a wrong number, transmission problem, or sequential dialing
junk calls). Little or no attention is paid to this occurrence. When a fax
machine is called, it listens for the "handshake" tones in order to connect
to the calling fax. It normally tries for about 50 seconds and if a
"handshake" doesn't occur, it "times out" and hangs up the line. But with the
Fax-Line Spy installed on the called line, the line can remain open and the
unit's sensitive microphone enables the user to hear all the audio activity
in the area. Installation anywhere between the fax machine and the wall jack
is quick and simple with its modular connectors, and it remains very discreet
since the back of a fax machine is rarely examined. Adding markings such as
"surge protector" on it also adds to its transparency. This unit also can
work with an answering machine or on any line that automatically answers
calls. Warning: this device is to be used only in a legal and lawful manner
in compliance with all applicable laws and F.C.C. regulations. Price: $129.
SPEAKER VIDEO CAMERA

TELEPHONE TRANSMITTER KIT
The Telephone Transmitter Kit is a versatile effective kit that requires only
minimal assembly and delivers superior results, transmitting with crystal
clarity in a range of up to 1/4 mile. It requires no antenna, no battery and
plugs into any standard phone line. The easy-to-assemble unit which snaps
together in seconds--comprises a miniature FM transmitter housed in a common
dual modular telephone adapter. No wiring is required, and the Telephone

Subject: Fax Encryption
I am in dire need of encription protected fax capability. This Protection
can be in the form of hardware(actual fax machine), add-on, or software for
computer faxes (preference goes to add-on). If anyone knows of a hardware
supplier please E-Mail me. I thought this capability would be easy to
obtain it is, however, proving otherwise. If this is an issue that would be
of interest to the rest of the forum please post. PGP (as I am capable of
employing it) is too limited in this application. If someone has a way of
securing computer fax with PGP let's hear it.
Many thanks.

Subject: Interns Data Register
Well Members, there has been a fantastic response to the Data Register for
P.Is & Surveillance professionals, and all who are in the Investigative
profession, ect ect, the email has been pooring in like the rain literaly.
So once again if you are an Investigator or Surveillance Pro, and would like
your business recorded on Intern`s Data Register for FREE!,then email me.
The Data register will either be available on the net or via PC Software,
decision has not yet been made on either of the two, but the software looks
more likely. I think that it will be only available to Private
Investigators, Surveillance Pro`s, Law-enforcement, Security Pro`s, ect. The
Database will consist of P.Is, Forensic Professionals in all fields of
investigation, Security Pro`s all over the world, Medical Examiners, ect. By
the press of a few buttons or mouse you can access the specific contact
anywhere in the world at your fingertips, a wealth of contacts to make your
Investigation run smoothly, possibly cutting down your expenses and even
boosting your business. Incidently if you register, why not pass this info
on to other agencies who you deal with or whatever.
It will be just another very important investigative tool for us all,
exclusively for our Profession. The date for the software release is not yet
available, but hopefully
its ready before the years out. The Software is not free but will be
resonably priced, but to register is totally free and will always remain so,
So register NOW?.
P.S When you register, make sure your contact numbers are included ( tel:
no.) if you have one, and any other info you wish to disclose pertaining to
your specialization.
Best Regards from Intern Investigations.

Subject: Equipment is no substitute for brains!
Police in Yorkshire were busily watching for speeding cars with
their mobile radar equipment when their equipment appeared to
malfunction; it began to clock a speeder at 300 mph....
All was revealed a few seconds later when a low flying Harrier
jumpjet screamed over head.
Police registered a complaint regarding damaged radar equipment
with the MOD (UK Ministry of Defence). The MOD replied that the
damage could have been worse: the Harrier's defence systems had
latched onto the radar and had gone into an automatic pre-emptive
strike made before the pilot decided enemy anti-aircraft activity
was unlikely along the motorways of northern England...

The latest tool to attack Windows NT systems is Lophtcrack.
The Lophtcrack tool could allow a user to retrieve Windows NT network
domain user names and passwords. The program works in conjunction with
software tools called PWDump and NTCrack used to break into NT servers.
Is NT as secure as it should be?

Subject: Cable company surveillance?
I was watching the tube the other day and was bombarded with
commercial "threats" from my local cable company. It appears cable
"stealing" is quite popular in my area. The commercial warned that TCI
(my cable company) has the lastest technology (they should a linesman
shaking a wire) at their disposal.
What detection methods are used to find out whether a signal is
being used or not. All signals are sent reguardless of whether you pay
for cable or not , right? The cable co. leases you a "box" to descramble
these signals to convert them to their orginal phase, amplitude, period
... So if these signal are coming to every house with a cable hook up,
how can they detect whether or not you are recieving the Descrambled
channel. Furthermore, if detection is possible from the line couldnt a
modification to your cable outlet via Signal amplifier of 10-15 db make
any readings useless.
I have a feeling that the cable company is using these scare tactics
because that is there only defense. Ive never heard of anyone getting
caught with illegal cable, except for the few who got scammed into calling
a TV commercial add to win a big prize or some irrestible gimmick which
the cable co. made up.

Subject: Re: Pinhole camera
I have been monitoring this info on the pinhole camera and just want to
confirm that it could be set up this way. Some models come installed in a
clock, what i want to do is include a video transmitter that is used to transmit a vcr signal from one room to another into the clock, with the reciver in my car 200 ft away. The receiver is hooked up to a vcr and when I see my target subject enter the location I can just press the record button on my vcr and record the event. Any comments suggestions would be appreaciated. By the way I saw the country list which included the Phillipines. Am I the only list member from P.I. or, is there someone else here with similar interests.

Subject: Laser listeners & Radar
These are restricted to Law Enforcement only in the U.S. and have a varied
window of use. The laser has to be at a right angle to the window and the
interior of the room cannot have any other spurious noise. Ambient noise from
outside will also flood the window vibration. After the reflected laser is
demodulated it goes through standard audio type amplification ie. band
amplifiers etc. The window vibration is critical and in all aspects of real
world life the system is only about 10 to 25 % effective.
Seen some kits in Pop Electronics this month in the back.

Subject Radar
I keep my cruiser radar off because it is instant on, however on a long
stretch of thourough fair I patrol I leave it on to confuse drivers and they
think its a burglar motion alarm or a false alarm. It does not emit any
signal at all in standby.

Subject: Pizza anyone?
I found this on the web and thought the list could use a smile ;-)
Pizza Anyone?
FBI agents conducted a raid of a psychiatric hospital in San Diego that
was under investigation for medical insurance fraud. After hours of
reviewing thousands of medical records, the dozens of agents had
worked up quite an appetite. The agent in charge of the investigation
called a nearby pizza parlor with delivery service to order a quick dinner
for his colleagues.
The following telephone conversation took place and was recorded by
the FBI because they were taping all conversations at the hospital:
Agent: Hello. I would like to order 19 large pizzas and 67 cans of soda.
Pizza Man: And where would you like them delivered?
Agent: We're over at the psychiatric hospital.
PM: The psychiatric hospital?
Agent: That's right. I'm an FBI agent.
PM: You're an FBI agent?
Agent: That's correct. Just about everybody here is.
PM: And you're at the psychiatric hospital?
Agent: That's correct. And make sure you don't go through the front
doors. We have them locked. You will have to go around to the back to
the service entrance to deliver the pizzas.
PM: And you say you're all FBI agents?
Agent: That's right. How soon can you have them here?
PM: And everyone at the psychiatric hospital is an FBI agent?
Agent: That's right. We've been here all day and we're starving.
PM: How are you going to pay for all of this?
Agent: I have my checkbook right here.
PM: And you're all FBI agents?
Agent: That's right. Everyone here is an FBI agent. Can you remember to
bring the pizzas and sodas to the service entrance in the rear? We have
the front doors locked.
Pizza Man: I don't think so. ::click::

Subject: On the spycam
Hi we are MC Investigations in London. We have read with interest the
articles on the spycam, and would like to draw readers attention to this
item, and the possible pitfalls. We obviously have the video recording
briefcase, which is invaluable, but we recently commisioned the spycam to
be placed into a necktie. As with every piece of equipment we vigorously
tried it to ascertain its limits before using it in the field. It was
useless. The transmitter interfered with TV signalls, and was thus
useless if you attended someone's home, which had a TV broadcasting at
the time, or a bar that might have some football game being broadcast
live!! You would have created a riot! We therefore commisioned a piece of
equipment to be made. We used the spycam, built in a divers watch,
operating of a lower frequency. Yes the distance is not so great, butthe
picture is clear. We looked at the possibility of sunglasses, but it has
not got the flexibility of the watch. You cannot always wear sunglasses,
nor can you wear a cap all the time. If anyone would like to purchase a
model, we have developed a number of models for resale. Any other input
would be gratefully accepted.

getting on my nerves. I don't really know how to approch this situation
really so I'm looking for some help. I think what has happend is someone I
might might have spoken to on Internet Relay Chat has gotten my email, and
keeps sending me email. I probably should be flattered, but I'm not I have
a girlfriend. I just want to findout information about her, because she
obviously knows quite a bit about me. I have posted the content of one of
the emails, they seem to be only chain letters and stuff. Is there anything
that I could do apart from emailing her back to find out any interesting
info??

Subject: Is anyone tapping your phone line?
The Voice/Data Intruder Alert System uses state-of-the-art electronic
technology to detect intruders on your telephone line. This system is
compatible with most types and makes of telephone sets, fax machines and
modems. "Safe" and "Intruder" light indicators advise you of the status of
your telephone line when in use. As well, an Audio indicator can be
programmed to advise if an intruder is present on your phone lines.
Feature highlights:
1) Will automatically search for any type of intrusive device,
(capacitive-tape recorders; inductive-butt sets in mute; resistive-
extension telephone off-hook)
2) Each Voice/Data Intruder Alert System unit has its own search
characteristics i.e. its own electronic fingerprint which makes counter
measures virtually impossible.
3) Totally non-intrusive operation will not adversely affect communication
quality.
4) Audio indication signaling battery level.
5) Specially designed learning mode technology is activated during initial
device installation allowing the "Intruder Alert System" to customize
itself with specific parameters of the protected line and associated
telephone equipment.
6) Fully automatic and continuous operation.
7) Selectable Audio Indicator if you are away from the immediate area of
use.
8) Fast and easy installation.

Just a side note... I think that in many places in the US (maybe all),
the police are no longer allowed to hold the radar guns in their hands, that
they must be mounted either inside or outside the cruiser. It seems that
many officers would sit with them turned on and hold them between their
legs in
their laps. And subsequently, many officers wound up with big tumors in
the groin
area.

Subject: TV Jammer?
Hello,
I have been looking for something I used to see all the time
advertised in electronics hobbyist magazines and misc. catalogs, but they
seem to have disappeared for some unknown reason. It was called a TV
Jammer, and would literally distort all televisions(and monitors?) within a
certain range (100 ft. I believe) I guess this operated by transmitting a
spark gap or other rf interference. I'm guessing the FCC or someone is to
blame for the trouble in finding one, but there has to be someone with one
or information on where to get one. It seems this might be very handy in
certain situations, especially if it distorts monitors. The unit was a $10
- $15 kit, so I'm sure it wasn't too technical. Anybody have any sources?
Thanks for any help.

Low-end systems can have a range of about 60 feet while a top-of-the-line
system can pick up sound from over 500 ft. away. So I've heard, at least.

As much as I'd like to say that chart is correct, I'm not sure. Maybe it
is, but I just can't find a similar chart or reference around here right
now. How could laser radar operate within the _visible_ light spectrum?
How would it know what is light bouncing back from an object and what is
natural ambient light? Why can't one see laser radar in action if it
operates in the visible spectrum? It seems like it would have to operate
at such a low power level that it would become useless.

Sounds like the TV/FM jammer kit sold by Information Unlimited. I'm not
sure if only plans are available, and the kit is a bit pricy compared to
what you've seen before. It wouldn't interfere with just any video
monitor, only those pulling their signals out of the air. That means it
will not interfere with a CATV system. Anyhow, you can find Information
Unlimited, along with their complete online catalog, at www.amazing1.com.

Noticing this "cyberstalker" is addressing her e-mail to "everyone," I'm
guessing you've just been added to someones buddy list. Have you just
replied to this person and asked her to stop mailing you? Have you tried
filtering all e-mail from this person? Is she forging her headers? If

Many new systems employ a two-way communication model. That is, when
you select a "pay per view" movie from your box, it sends a signal to
the cable co saying "Box XYZZY is ordering movie MOAB", and you see it
on your bill. Periodically, the cable co will send out authorization
signals down the line to all the boxes allowed to get a certain event
that was preordered, or to disable all boxes out on the "net" and then
reenable only the ones they know about...
This way, if someone gets a box (not a clone of another one) and it has
say, HBO, enabled then it'll work until they send out the "ALL DISABLE",
"ENABLE XYZZY", "ENABLE XYZZA"... signals... Then one day you turn on
your box, and it's dead...
*Some* boxes out there have test chips in them which enable all of the
channels, regardless of what comes down the pike...
As for how they detect, an oft-used technique is to go thru your list of
known "HBO SUBSCRIBERS", and tell their box that HBO is on Channel 27,
but to display channel 17 on the box when they tune it in. That way,
all the paying HBO subscribers don't pitch a fit because you changed the
channel # of their favorite station, BUT, this only happens to the boxes
of the PAYING subscribers. For the rip-off artists, they continue to
receive HBO on physical channel 17, but receive a different set of
commercials -- often they have an 800 # to call for a free t-shirt.
Some fool calls it, and instead of the t-shirt, he gets a visit from the
police for theft of service...
As for detecting where a pirate box is? Well, that's a bit tougher --
they *MAY*, as things become more digital, be able to record what boxes
are being fed by what splitters (routers?), and correlate that with
their list of paying subscribers and then narrow it down from there...
So, to keep them from catching up on you, the return path signal has to
be blocked -- a notch filter tuned to the appropriate frequency and put
between the cable box and wall outlet will do it nicely... NO, I don't
know what the freq. is... Check out Radio Electronics, Popular
Electronics, etc. classified ads for things called "BULLET BLOCKERS" and
use at your own risk...

Subject: Re: Spycams
We have been using spycams for a number of years now and have placed them in
everything you can think of but still come back to the old faithfuls such as a
jacket pocket, briefcase or sports bag. We have now progressed from mono to
colour as the board are very similar in size, only using the black and white
camera when we have to obtain video in a low light situation. We used to record
onto the Sony GV5 but they are like rocking horse S... in the UK and now use the
Sony GV50 which has the build in screen. The problem with this is the thickness
of the unit but you can still get it covertly into the small of your back. I
belive the equivalent of the GV5 is still available in the states but in the
NTSC format, which if you have the correct editing system is not a problem.
As for transmitting the signal from the unit. I dont belive there is any cheap
way of doing this. We use a very small microwave transmitters which puts out
about 50mw of power and works on around 1.2 Ghz. The unit that was interfering
with the televisions must have been a normal domestic video sender which you
could purchase for around 20 pounds sterling. In the UK a reasonable micro wave
system with transmitter and receiver would cost upwards of 1500.00 pounds. We
have carried out some test with our unit and have achieved a range of
approximately 1000m line of sight with omni directional antennas on the roof of
a vehicle but a more conservative distance in a normal street /urban situation
would be around 50 to 100m.
As for placing both a camera and transmitter in a clock, the only problem I
could see would be powering the unit for any length of time (no pun intended)
For outside OP work we use a 10Amp sealed lead acid, which would power our unit
for around 10 hours but thats a big battery to fit in a clock.

Your best bet is to build it yourself. Size is a consideration. You'll need to find a decent size clock radio with "room" inside to install the apparatus. Not all clock radios have this "room". You'll have to open up different models before deciding on the right one. Next, you need to be able to "position" the MicroChip camera inside for the best field of view. The drilled hole for the pinhole lens must be perfectly aligned. A tiny pinhole should also be drilled for the microphone.
Power to the camera is supplied by spicing into the radios power supply.
The video transmitter is next. It must ALSO fit inside the radio, be plugged into the camera AND radios power supply. Position of the transmitters antenna
is critical. Ideally the clock radio is tall enough to accomodate. If not run a wire from "antenna out" down radio's power cord and place antenna remotely.
Remember, the MicroChip video camera comes with audio. This must also be
plugged into video transmitter (hopefully the radio is usually off so you can
hear). If the radio is on, I hope you like the channel it's tuned to because that's all you'll hear...
The receiver can be placed inside nearby vehicle which should have rooftop antenna for best reception. Placing the receiving antenna inside the vehicle will "shield" reception...
Receiver can than be plugged into TV monitor and/or video event recorder or
time lapse video recorder. Both need to be DC powered unless you plan on using
a battery invertor and/or isolator as used in surveillance vans...
If you need further help with this project contact me directly. I've built a lot of these things...

TV JAMMER:
I can't speak for a DITY project in subject, but know from personal
experience that it's fairly easy [or at least once was]. Specifically, I'm
going back some 35+ years now to when I used a standard radio--you know, a
regular dial that was rotated to determine the radio station you were on.
Well, I pulled one of the dial units from another radio, and hooked them up
in series and, bingo, all the tv's up to some 2-3 houses away went real bad.
It didn't take the neighbors too long to figure out who since I was
standing outside smiling/laughing and watching the neighbors come out and
look at their antennas [before cable, you see].
A little on the light side, but it was fun at the time. What has changed in
tv's of today and whether a unit of some years ago would still work,k or
require some slight modification, or what....I don't know.

Subject: Programming Project
Hello,
I'm a programmer with mostly VB experience, but a growing C++ ability as
well. I've been busy working on a library of routines (DLL) that are
compatible with the usual PGP functions, e.g:
PK encrypt, decrypt, sign
IDEA encrypt, decrypt
Keyring management (minimal)
I have most of this finished, and could fully implement in either VB or C
programs probably in a week or two. Just to be clear, this isn't a
"shell" that needs PGP - the routines are stand-alone. The e-mail market
is pretty much saturated with PGP-this and PGP-that, and I'm wondering if
PGP compatibility would be of use for a vertical product in the
investigative arena. If you have any ideas for a product, let's have a
discussion. I should mention that I have next to zero experience with
Internet protocols/winsock programming and aside from a personal
interest, no real investigative experience either.
Also, at this point I'm not inclined to distribute the library, so please
don't ask for a copy. The legal issues have yet to be resolved, and I'll
reconsider my position on this when I know more about where I stand.

The $10-$15 "TV Jammer" kits were basically tuneable CW oscillators, you just
set them to the frequency you wanted to jam. Also, a separate unit (or a
bandswitch) would be needed to cover both the low (~60 MHz) and high (~200 MHz)
sections of the VHF band. Only one channel would be jammed. To simultaneously
jam all channels within a band, you would need a comb generator (best implemeted
at baseband or IF) that could be upconverted and amplified. It is unlikely
that any of these devices would "jam" a computer monitor. They depended on
being able to easily overpower the relatively weak TV signal appearing at the
receiver's antenna. The computer monitor is hardwired, and wouldn't be
susceptible in the same manner.

Subject: Just a neat place to stuff a microphone
Gut out an old beeper. Install (glue) mic on inside where speaker slots are.
This puts the microphone at at the top of the unit. Run short wire inside
unit to a 1/8" female input on the bottom of unit. (makes the unit
independant and you CAN pull it out of your pocket if you need to) Connect
this thing to a mini-recorder and you got yourself a cheap fix for the
occational "wish I had that conversation on tape"
Best place to put it? Its not unusual for people to have pagers clipped to
their shirt pocket. Nice and face level.
I would assume Radio Shack could hook you up with all you need. Any tips out
there on a decent mic for this application?????? You might even be able to
purchase a dummy beeper from somewhere.

Subject: Help in NJ
Lots of questions today. (I had a brain spurt) (simillar to lightbulb..but
light goes off instead of on)
I am still hung up on the fact the NJ does NOT have any special lisencing to
posess lock opening tools. Just "a lawfull" need to posess such items.
<---gee, who interprets that while I spend the night in prison. I just want
to be covered.
As more of a credibility issue, there just HAS to be a federal or state
either regestration of individual, a certification, a something?????
I called: State police, county police, local police, municipal offices,
county offices, state offices, the prosecutors office and the sheriff's
department.<I had time>...ALL state that there are no lisencing..........NO
nothing.
I think you got the hint on what info I am seeking. Forgetting the above...in
a nutshell...I would like to be a certified and lisenced ENTRY specialist and
there just has to be such a lisence...even if it is on federal level.
My collection of opening tools I now own is now on the expensive end and
Confiscation would hurt me severely.
One more note: To date, I have pawned off simple opening tools that I carry
in trucks as part of my construction company if ever there is a problem. I
made simple cards that have my name under them..."Locksmith". That's about
all the credential's I have. That's not good enough, I want more . :-)

"As much as I'd like to say that chart is correct, I'm not sure. Maybe
it is, but I just can't find a similar chart or reference around here right now. How could laser radar operate within the _visible_ light spectrum?
How would it know what is light bouncing back from an object and what is
natural ambient light? Why can't one see laser radar in action if it
operates in the visible spectrum? It seems like it would have to
operate at such a low power level that it would become useless." Didn't say laser was in visible light .....said that the wavelength
quoted was visible light.

Hello all, About L0phtCrack, the program isn't really as big as they say,
for one thing you have to be administrator to run it!!! That really kind of
defeats the purpose of finding admin password don't you think, there are
some other problems too. ON being the paper L0pht has written says that
passwords can contain only alpha-Numeric (sp?) characters such a s A-B 1-9,
it says that it can't contain */^# and a whole bunch others. Oh well, there
is supposed to be a newer version that normal users can run to find admin
pass. For all who want it: Go to www.l0pht.com (that's and zero) its in the

There's a book called "Votescam" that provides a lot of information on
this subject. It probably won't be on the bookshelves, but I know for a
fact it can be ordered at Barnes & Noble (I ordered it, but forgot to
pick it up). It goes into great detail about how the company that
"tabulates" and reports the votes is jointly-owned by all of the major
media companies. Not only is our money supply controlled by a private
corporation (the FED), but so is the organization that tells us who we

There was some discussion on one of my technical/security related

revealed in that discussion that the modems are secured using a type
of PIN exchanged between the devices. However, it was also revealed
that this PIN was only four digits. Certainly within the realm of
guessing. Whether the data was encrypted or not I don't know, but I
do know that the entire mechanisms security rested upon the four

Subject: Use of Lock picking gun
Words of caution with use of Lock picking gun, lock aid tool.
This is the 5th padlock I screwed up <im sure I just dont know how to use it>
because it shoots the pins up and for some reason....the springs therefore
disapear???? The lock "clearly" has been tampered with from that point on.
Master padlocks....FIRST click and lock is screwed up. Might have something
to do with stiff springs.
Quikset locks...NEVER happend. <bench test over 100 openings on 5 different
quickset locks) I would say it is safe on Quikset Locks. Same with Schlage.
Just be carefull.
One more quick TIP: Save yourself time in having to "re-lock" a file cabinet
(or simillar lock) lock by NOT turning the plug fully onced picked. Just turn
far enough to clear the latch. You turn too far...and "click" it locks in the
unlocked position.
Ok...only because i'm in a writing mood :-)
One more quickie......
Those 40 pound SENTRY firesafes with a Carry handle. Although the locks are
a joke, it IS easier to press on the top (take pressure off latch) and slide
a knife in the HUGE gap in the front where the latch is, slide the latch to
the left and Viola..open.
Dont let the "weight" of these fool you, they are toys to even the meakest of
pro's..

Depends on what you mean by "over the counter" cuffs. If you buy a pair
in your local drug store somewhere next to the squirt guns and action
figures, there will be a difference. If you pick up a pair at a spy shop,
knife shop, gun shop, etc., there should not be any difference. Even
standard issue cuffs sold/supplied to law enforcement people use the same
cheesy key anyone can duplicate with a soda can and pair of scissors. And
if you want to order a couple spare keys, you can get them cheap from
Gall's Inc. at 800.477.7766. They have a few fancy keys that look like
pens or fit into your belt keepers as well, FYI.

Subject: Lockpicking
I cant stress enought the importance of torque. Share your focus with varied
torque.
If I had to put a percentage of focus it would be: 75% torque fucus, 25%
picking presure and tecnique.
Vary tecnique, vary torque, light, heavy...this is not a project. Happens
fast.
Ii would recommend to beginners to pick a tool. Try the standard hook pick
and use nothing else. Pay no attention to the 600 peice set, you dont have
that many hands.
Pick a tool, make it your friend and if your going to have a few of
anything...make it torque wrenches.
Here's a "trip" TIP- Sometimes you have to release torque and start over.
BEFORE you do....(I call this the "Hail Mary play for lockpicking"), slightly
release a BIT of presure....and make a 2 second no holds barred (but gentle)
rake, up, down, side to side....and pull the pick out. Ide say 10% of the
time...the Hail Mary comes through.
If the hail mary doesn't work...you were about to start over anyway so you
lost nothing.

TV Jammers & free cable?
Jammers - general
I had lots of fun with these I my younger days, so much that the
electronics shop in my town gave me free componnts due to their increaced
business. The circuit will not work on monitors as they are RF, however if
your transmitter is in the mega watt range then .... A propper jammer
should cover the complete bandwidth (8meg) of the channel but the cheap
version follows...
Firstly find out you cahannels are the VHF UHF and their frequencies. Armed
with this go to you good bookshop and look in the radio amature section.
Get a book containing simple circuit diagarms (AARL handbook is a
godsend!). Find a transmitter circuit theat works about in the same range
as the tv pct and viola!
Jammers - UHF
Anyone here in London that receives the new "Channed 5" and has a video
recorder can vouch, modulators are ready made jammers. They are those small
metal boxes which the aerial out socket is on. Thes are found in video's,
those plug-into-tv video games, old personal computers, some camcorders
etc. and have seen them advertised separately in electronic component
shops. The better ones can be tuned.
How they work...
The tv signal has a bandwith of about 8 MHz. On the lower ends or the band
you have the field which is 50Hz (60US) transmitting around here overwhelms
the signal and makes the picture roll from top to bottom. Moving up
slightly is the line frequency, which makes the picture move from side to
side. Still further is the colour burst info overiding this will make the
pic black & white. All the previous are close together. The largest
frequency range is the colour/video info and transmitting here usually
gives coloured/blackwhite lines pattens and most home made transmitters
have too narower bandwidth to make a 'real' impact here. Finally on the op
of the band is the sound carrier and you can place the person back to the
days of the old silent movie!
Modifying circuits - rule of thumb:
Coils - to get a lower frequency: Add more turns. Insert a ferrite core;
further into the coil, the lower the frequency and this can serve for
tuning too. Push the loops of the coil closer together.
Capacitors : Higher the value lower the frequency. Look for the small
beaded one.
*** The opposites to the above are generally also true ***
PS. I'M ALWAYS INTERESTED IN ANY CIRCUITS IN ANY SUBJECTS - Please.
*************************
Free Cable
As told to me "The box has an EEPROM usually in a socket which needs to be
updated, so subscribe to the full package. Then get your replacement EEPROM
and swap the to out and compalin that your set is not working (someone will
turn up to fix it or it will be reprogrammed down the line -not sure
which). Now subscribe to either the minimum package and a few days after
they have sent down the reprogammimg codes replace the chip or cancel the
substription, buy your own box and put the chip in it"

Subject: Interns Data Register
Well Members, there has been a fantastic response to the Data Register for
P.Is & Surveillance professionals, and all who are in the Investigative
profession, ect ect, the email has been pooring in like the rain literaly.
So once again if you are an Investigator or Surveillance Pro, and would like
your business recorded on Intern`s Data Register for FREE!,then email me.
The Data register will either be available on the net or via PC Software,
decision has not yet been made on either of the two, but the software looks
more likely. I think that it will be only available to Private
Investigators, Surveillance Pro`s, Law-enforcement, Security Pro`s, ect. The
Database will consist of P.Is, Forensic Professionals in all fields of
investigation, Security Pro`s all over the world, Medical Examiners, ect. By
the press of a few buttons or mouse you can access the specific contact
anywhere in the world at your fingertips, a wealth of contacts to make your
Investigation run smoothly, possibly cutting down your expenses and even
boosting your business. Incidently if you register, why not pass this info
on to other agencies who you deal with or whatever.
It will be just another very important investigative tool for us all,
exclusively for our Profession. The date for the software release is not yet
available, but hopefully
its ready before the years out. The Software is not free but will be
resonably priced, but to register is totally free and will always remain so,
So register NOW?.
P.S When you register, make sure your contact numbers are included ( tel:
no.) if you have one, and any other info you wish to disclose pertaining to
your specialization.
Best Regards from Intern Investigations.

Subject: Re: handcuff locks; locksmith licensing
Response for BADCOFFEE items in Issue 96, items #4 & #9.
"Government issue" handcuffs is a quezy term. USGovt purchases handcuffs
just like any police dept., i.e., for a manufacturer. There is no
particular difference in their handcuffs as with any other. "Over the
counter" cuffs, on the other hand can be one of two types: first, the
'standard'cuffs that are a quality type, and second, a cheap knock-off like
a pair that is 'made in Japan' and sells for $5-15.00. The latter type is
not worth it. The first type is!
In terms of keys there are only 2-3 out there. Any of these can be obtained
from a number of magazine sources or walk in shops that sell
"police/security-related" equipment. It used to be just a standard key
opened the cuffs, but within the past 15 or so years, they have added a
couple additional protective methods. What is interesting is that these
methods are commonly known and the additional methods are just a factor in
requiring more than one turn of the key to open the lock. Get to a standard
security type store and you can pick up the various type keys for less that
$30-40.00. You might also want to consider a set of handcuff lock picks;
they can be made from a dozen or so hairpins. My set is becoming dusty from
lack of use, but I always keep it [or at least a couple specific picks
concealed on my person when I travel...just in case; reason here is that
there are other persons besides law enforcement that may carry/use
handcuffs. Somewhat infrequently used, but they have been used for criminal
activities such as home/business break-in's. It's a lot easier to lock up
the people in cuffs, then to have a person watching them while the home or
business is being ransacked.
Now as to other item relative to licensing for an "entry" specialist. There
t'aint no such thing!!
Depending upon the state involved, licensing occurs at the state, county, or
city level. Sometimes, in more than one area. The ALOA [Associated
Locksmiths of America] can point you in the right direction. I think they
have a web site, but since I haven't been affiliated with them for several
years, can't really say.
The possession of lockpicking tools in just about every state requires a
locksmithing license; it also requires a background check and bonding. As
an ALOA member you have a ALOA minimum bond. Background check to ensure you
don't have a criminal record. Depending upon state, you get a
journeyman/beginner's license, work for someone else, and have a qualifying
test taken. Note that auto reposession businesses and auto dealers have
tools; they have a license to carry them, and are limited to when/here they
can be used.
Re your homemade locksmith license; depending upon the state you are stopped
in, it won't work, and you are looking at a minimum of 5 years for
possession of burglary tools!!!! [not the way to go, I'm sure]. As for
being involved in construction company, you might get a carry&possession
type license that would fall into the same realm as that of an auto
repossession business. It won't be cheap, depending upon state, but may
well be worth it.
NY/NJ have the most stringent laws relative to possession of locksmithing
tools; the burglary tool possession laws and penalties are not very good
either if caught with them. NJ has one of the top three ALOA chapters in
the USA; check it out!!! the contacts and advantages of being an ALOA member
would outweigh the costs of joining and maintaining membership. AND they
have a real snazzy state seminar each year in addition to numerous meetings
and workshops where locksmithing professionals can teach you a lot!!!
By the way, did you check out the locks & locksmithing book I spoke of a
couple weeks ago? Also, check Soldier of Fortune magazine. Several
advertisers there have lock books, handcuff keys, etc that would be of value
to you.
I could probably go on, but best stop for now. I've got so many irons in
the fire that relate to the numerous subject of privacy, surveillance,
eavesdropping, countersurveillance and other personal and professional
security practices and technologies, it's hard to get time to respond, but
when I do....

Subject: Comments
I read with interest the item regarding concealin a mic or camera in a
pager. This is indeed a good idea. Pager cases are available from most any
company that services pagers as dealers usually want "new" looking cases.
Old ones are typically discarded.
Among other products, my company manufacturers "pagers" that contail a
transmitter as well as a mic. Power ranges up to 1 watt. These require a
license as they are not an FCC part 15 device. They are crystal
controlled,custom devices. We also make a "cell phone" with built in
television camera and transmitter. The unit still has a working display and
will allow the user to attempt a call (though it won't go thru) Both video
and audio are transmitted.
I also operate a PI firm . lisenced in Florida (Tiger Security and
Investigations, Inc) We have an excellent database resource compendium and
access to many obscure and usually unattainable systems.
While I read with interest the postings from the curious and while I am glad
to share, it is important for your readers to realize that TIME is a
professionals "stock in trade" TIME is a finite entity combined with our
knowledge and experience that give us something to sell and a means for
feeding our families and paying our staff. Your postings have provided
information and where to look for a number of resources and databases and I
am greatful for those. Some of the technical "advice" I have seen should be
used with caution as the user may find him/her self in serious trouble. As
an ex-fed with 30 years experience both building, designing and useing
discrete listening, monitoring, recording devices, my advice is BE VERY
CAREFUL. The equipment used by govt. and serious professionals is not
novelty level, is not detectable(!!!) and the information properly gained
will result in arrest and conviction.
I'm glad to see the information being shared. In most cases readers should
consider it "raw data" as yet not tested or refined beyone the experience of
the writer.
Sorry to run on so long.

Subject: Re: Entry teams
To answer a question by BADCOFFEE whether entry teams exist, YES THEY DO.
I know because I belong to a team operating under the name ECCO. We come
from various government backgrounds performing much the same tasks.
We get flooded with many offers from many countries but select clients very
carefully and usually only get involved with testing security systems.
Many high profile multi national corporations employ our services to keep
two or three steps ahead of industrial espioneers.
Thats really about all I can tell on this subject on the list, If you wish
to know more email me direct.

Subject: Magnetic door contacts
Greetings,
To start: Don't let this one scare you, I'm legit.
1- Those magnetic door contacts......Can they be disabled using a magnet from
outside or by imediately making magnetic contact upon entry.
2- Do most alarm systems with door contacts enable a "trip" on...stay
on...type of mechanism. <I would hope so> or do these things normally
disable when door is closed again? or Both depending on system?
If this info is to sensative for post please e-mail me.

Subject: Telephone Question
1) Cool web site.
2) Maybe this isn't a Question About Surveillance, etc. but I
thought I'd give it a try:
As a kid, I seem remember watching the telephone repair man was
able to dial a telephone number on our phone that then caused our
telephone to ring. This "feature" would come in handy in our
house - am I crazy or does such a number exist? Can you help?
Thanks - one way or another.

Subject: Privacy Question
Last week, I needed to call my brother from the computer lab at my
school. I tried him at home, no answer. So, I tried him at his
workplace and I spoke to him there. As soon as I got off the phone
with my brother, a call came from the office reminding my teacher
that students aren't to be using the phones in the rooms. Here is my
question: In Idaho, are schools allowed to monitor calls going out
from their phones, even if it isn't school faculty or such using
them? Thanks a bunch.

Does anyone have any information on TEMPEST, I need to know what is happening
on a PC and can get within 50 metres, however this is not direct line of sight.
Is it possible to get information over this range, what am I likely to see

Subject: Re: Latent Prints
>>How do I transfer prints from one object to another for anilization. Tape?
how do police detectives photo prints from crime scene after dusting?<<
Being a member of law enforcement, I have had a lot of experience in lifting
and analyzing latent prints. The most common, efficient, and practical
methond of transferring latent prints is to lightly dust the print with
latent print powder. There are several types of powders, depending on the
surface in question, but they are basically graphite powders. The print is
then lifted by applying fingerprint tape, and placed onto a white, glossy
background, usually a 3 x 5 card. These products are available at most law
enforcement suppliers, and also Gall's Inc 1-800-477-7766.
>>Lets say I have prints......is there a service that can process them to
positive ID?<<
I am not aware of any commercial sevices that compare latent prints, as it is
usually done "in house", as you must have a suspect print to compare it with
using arrest files, etc.

Subject: Lock Pick Misc
I have a question : Do any of you out there have any spare used or new
lock picking utensils of any kind? I am looking for some equipment for
cheapest prices possible because these would be my first set (other than
a set of Jiggler 10 keys which were stolen: were in my jacket and it got
stolen : ( )
Thank you and keep rolling in the great information!!
Also, what brand of car security system would be most likely to prevent
both amateurs and pro's alike from successfuly stealing the car, while
also not being an incredible inconvenience to myself.. Thank you (I am
moving to an area where car theft seems to be the residents primary
income, therefore I need some prevention!)

Subject: Re: fingerprints
Badcoffee recently inquired about fingerprint techniques.
Once an object has been dusted the latent print is usually lifted with
special tape 1 1/2 " wide and placed onto a fingerprint ID card. The police
have a special camera setup for photographing prints, it has it's own light
source and a bracket to ensure exact reproduction and focus, however you can
do the same yourself but you need to ensure the photo is exactly 1:1. If you
are going to id the print yourself, then 1:1 is not necessary, it can be
larger if you like, just ensure close detail is in the photo(probably
recommend a macro lense on a 35mm camera with a cable release)to identify
all the characteristics of the print.
I once took a photo of fingerprints to the local police station for
identification, the photo was slightly larger than 1:1 and was therefore
useless. AFIS (Automated Fingerprint Identification System) is what what
agencies use to ID a particular print these days.
Hope this helps

Subject: A letter from the Smithsonian
This has nothing to do with surveillance but since the postings were sparse today I thought I would post this and hopefully bring a smile...
A letter from the Smithsonian Institute
The story behind this...Apparently, there is a nutjob who digs things out
of his back yard and sends his "discoveries" to the Smithsonian Institute,
labeling them with scientific names and insisting they are actual
archeological finds. Anyway, what follows is a letter from the
Smithsonian Institute in response to his submission of a recently
discovered specimen.
====================================================
Paleoanthropology Division
Smithsonian Institute
207 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, DC 20078
July 1996
Dear Sir:
Thank you for your latest submission to the Institute, labeled "211-D,
layer seven, next to the clothesline post. Hominid skull." We have given
this specimen a careful and detailed examination, and regret to inform you
that we disagree with your theory that it represents "conclusive proof of
the presence of Early Man in Charleston County two million years ago."
Rather, it appears that what you have found is the head of a Barbie doll,
of the variety one of our staff, who has small children, believes to be the
"Malibu Barbie". It is evident that you have given a great deal of thought
to the analysis of this specimen, and you may be quite certain that those
of us who are familiar with your prior work in the field were loathe to
come to contradiction with your findings.
However, we do feel that there are a number of physical attributes of the
specimen which might have tipped you off to its modern origin:
1. The material is molded plastic. Ancient hominid remains are typically
fossilized bone.
2. The cranial capacity of the specimen is approximately 9 cubic
centimeters, well below the threshold of even the earliest identified
proto-hominids.
3. The dentition pattern evident on the "skull" is more consistent with the
common domesticated canine (dog) than it is with the "ravenous
man-eating Pliocene clams" you speculate roamed the wetlands during
that time. This latter finding is certainly one of the most intriguing
hypotheses you have submitted in your history with this institution, but the
evidence seems to weigh rather heavily against it.
Without going into too much detail, let us say that:
A. The specimen looks like the head of a Barbie doll that a dog has
chewed on.
B. Clams don't have teeth.
It is with feelings tinged with melancholy that we must deny your request to have the specimen carbon dated. This is partially due to the heavy load
our lab must bear in its normal operation, and partly due to carbon
dating's notorious inaccuracy in fossils of recent geologic record. To the
best of our knowledge, no Barbie dolls were produced prior to 1956
AD, and carbon dating is likely to produce wildly inaccurate results
Sadly, we must also deny your request that we approach the National
Science Foundation's Phylogeny Department with the concept of assigning your specimen the scientific name "Australopithecus spiff-arino."
Speaking personally, I, for one, fought tenaciously for the acceptance of
your proposed taxonomy, but was ultimately voted down because the
species name you selected was hyphenated, and didn't really sound like it
might be Latin.
However, we gladly accept your generous donation of this fascinating specimen to the museum. While it is undoubtedly not a hominid fossil, it
is, nonetheless, yet another riveting example of the great body of work
you seem to accumulate here so effortlessly. You should know that our
Director has reserved a special shelf in his own office for the display of the specimens you have previously submitted to the Institution, and the
entire staff speculates daily on what you will happen upon next in your
digs at the site you have discovered in your back yard.
We eagerly anticipate your trip to our nation's capital that you proposed
in your last letter, and several of us are pressing the Director to pay for it.
We are particularly interested in hearing you expand on your theories
surrounding the "trans-positating fillifitation of ferrous ions in a structural matrix" that makes the excellent juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex
femur you recently discovered take on the deceptive appearance of a rusty
9-mm Sears Craftsman automotive crescent wrench.
Yours in Science,
Harvey Rowe
Curator, Antiquities

Subject: Lurking...? Absolutely tremendous this List!!!
Anyway, 1) Instead of paying $1700 here in Aus for the "Explorer" (Unit
which sweeps 30-1300mhz in one second with digi and FM demodulator), I
wonder if anybody has a "block description" of how these circuits work
and without to much hassle, get an old scanner and connect up to allow
to sweep? I know it wouldn't be worth it but how much would it take?
2) I'm dried out of the up to date frequencies used for bugging
allocations used here in Aussie. I know the wireless mics for studio
etc but not the bands used here anymore. I remember what they used to
call professional 120 mhz, use to just put on WFM/FM and drive down to
the city and pickup a few fade in/out on the way.
3) For tracking sigs while driving, just thinking poor mans direction
finder: have four close antennas (bundle) with a shield separating the
four (think of a cross looking at the top) I haven't seriously looked
into it but one could attach a unit which looks at a specific freq while
your scanner is on the same frequency and have a comparator circuit to
determine with of the four antennas get the strongest signal so you have
a visual indication instead of trial and error with signal strengths,
what do you think? Stupid?????
4) What is the spray called that shows infrared transmission? I
currently use a solar cell connected via a capacitor to a portable
amplifier - very good for testing remotes etc seems to be sensitive
enough. Only good at night though.
