Its time for issue #8! This issue isn't going to be as good as the
others.But your magazine is always great why would this one be
different? Well, the hard disk on the computer we call "CATSlash
Studios" crashed. So basically, what we had for issue eight was lost.
Basically, the Connection Corner stuff was lost, and most of my
articles. Oh well...
And in other news, I am no longer Jeriatrick. I now have changed my
name to Bungie. Bungie just seemed better than Jeriatrick. So don't
be confused by the files by Bungie. They are by Jeriatrick who now
is Bungie, who is me. Confused yet?
And finally, the April issue. The April issue will be a joke issue.
IT HAS NOTHING TRUE IN IT, except for in files #1 and 9. Doing stuff
in issue 9 could very easily KILL you! The April issue is an April
fool's issue.

'''''''''''''''File #2 of 9''''''''''''
''''''''''''
THIS CAN BE USED TO LAUNCH MANY THINGS INTO THE AIR. THE SPIKE IS INSERTED INTO THE FLIGHT EXPLOSIVE (SUCH AS A ROCKET ENGINE) AND IS LAUNCHED BY PRESSING THE SWITCH.
IT WILL BE HARD FOR ME TO DRAW, SO I'LL ADD NUMBERS TO MAKE IT LESS CONFUSING:
1. WOODEN LAUNCH SKID
2. RAIL ROAD SPIKE
3. STRIPPED COPPER WIRE (THE ~ IS THE WIRE) WRAPPED AROUND THE
RAIL ROAD SPIKE.
4. PLASTIC LAUNCH PIN PIECES (ICE CREAM BUCKET LIDS - LOTS)
5. NAILS
6. WIRES (TWO)
7. RAMP
8. SWITCH

\ Cellular Bomb /
\ By: Bungie /
\___________CATSlash Magazine - Issue 8, March 1997_____________/
'''''''''''''''File #3 of 9''''''''''''
''''''''''''
One day I was watching unsolved mysteries when it came to a neat place.
A guy threatened to blow up a bank with a bomb, that he would detonate
with his cell phone. The bomb turned out to be a fake, but I started
thinking about making it a reality...
Materials:
""""""""""
1. cell phone. The model I used was the NEC P200. Any cell will do,
as long as you know the number.
2. An extended life cell battery. Not needed but very helpful. Make
sure it is for your style phone.
3. A cell battery charger for your battery.
4. Some wire
5. A heat sensetive explosive. If you can light it with a match, you
can use it.
6. A phosphorus filament (from a rocket engine) or a low voltage
GE diode (Glass).
7. A soldering iron (not needed but helpful)
8. A box to put it in.
Steps to build it
"""""""""""""""""
This must be built very quickly. Every minute counts here!
1. Fully charge the battery.
2. Open up the back of the cell.
3. Find the two wires that connect to the ear speaker. Cut them.
4. Solder/attach some long wires to them.
5. Take the Filament/diode and attach wires on the two ends.
6. Solder two wires onto the battery.
7. Solder the wires off of the battery to the battery connectors on
the cell phone.
8. Turn the cell on. From this point on this must be done fast!
9. After the cell has started up, solder the two wires from the
speaker into the two wires from the explosive.
10. Put it into the box.
It should look something like this:
_____________T_
| _______ |
| / \ |
| | | |
| \_O__O__/ |
| | | <--------------- Speaker wires
| | | | ___________________
| \ \___________________ | |

| H H <--\ |___________________|
| \ \ | \-------Battery Leads
| \ \| __________
| \ \____________A |
| \____________ | Battery |
|_____________| \_______A__________|
^
|
\--------- Battery Wires
How to use the Bomb
"""""""""""""""""""
Place it in the target location and dial the number. When the speaker
gets the voltage to ring, it will heat up the filament/diode and
ignite the explosive. BOOM!
Cautions:
"""""""""
This may not ignite from a simple beep, but be cautious. The reason you
turn the cell on before completing the circuit is so that the warm up
beep will not set it off.
Also remember how much time you have. If it goes into low battery mode,
its warning beeps may also set it off. Play it safe. We don't need less
anarchists in the world.
Conclusion
"""""""""""
Now you can build the cell bomb, and maybe even get on Unsolved
Mysteries. This may be a little dangerous, but its all I could work
out right now. Have phun!

===================='======================== File #5 of 9

By: Bungie
Foolproof is the utility that is on the hard drive of a Mac network. It can keep the user from:
* Trashing things
* Moving files around
* Saving files onto the hard disk
* Using certain menus
* Using disks
The Internals:
""""""""""""""
Foolproof is made up of three files:
Foolproof Init - Loads at startup and initializes all protection
routines. The icon with the lock on the bottom of
the screen at startup is Foolproof. This will
be in the 'System Folder' (System 6) or in the
'Extensions' Folder (System 7). OS 8 will not
use Foolproof in this form.
Foolproof Control - An application. You double click on it, and
at some point you are prompted to type in a
password. The passwords can be very long and
use any characters the Mac keyboard can
generate. If the password is correct, you can
edit the settings for Foolproof, or if it is
only the secondary password, it simply
disables it for a session.
Foolproof Prefs - Just tell Foolproof what to lock user out of.
Found in the 'Sytem Folder' (System 6) or in the
'Preferences' Folder (System 7).
Bypassing Foolproof
"""""""""""""""""""
There are not many ways to bypass it. Some of these will work, some
won't. It depends on how many times the system has been broken before.
Startup Disk
'''''''''''''
Simply make another startup disk at home. Then restart the computer
and insert it. Foolproof will be bypassed. Why? Foolproof allows
other startup disks to be launched in case you need to use the Apple
Tutorial disks or the Installer disks.
If it is a newer PowerMac, you will need a startup CD instead of a
disk. This may be harder to come by.
Prototype ROM Systems
''''''''''''''''''''''
In some Macs, there are prototype systems built into its ROM. This
prototype System software is not teh best, but will bypass Foolproof.
These are activated by holding down certain key combinations at startup.
One that I know, is on the Mac Classic (Which are in many Junior Highs).
On startup hold down APPLE-OPTION-X-O. Make sure the caps lock key is
not on. This will activate System XO, and skip Foolproof.
Killing Foolproof
"""""""""""""""""
If you find Foolproof is a pain, kill it! These attacks are designated
at the Foolproof init, not the other two files.
System Disk
''''''''''''
Startup with the System disk or the ROM disk, and then drag Foolproof
to the trash.
ResEdit
''''''''
Open it with ResEdit. Choose 'Get info' and unlock it. Change its
type to APPL or TEXT.
Type Changing Utilities
''''''''''''''''''''''''
There are many utilities to do this. Hypercard 2.0 has an XFCN on
many BBSs that can change file types. Change it to APPL or TEXT.
BASIC
''''''
Try typing in these statements:
System 6
10 KILL "Hard Disk:System Folder: Foolproof Init"
or in system 7 type:
10 KILL "Hard Disk:System Folder:Extensions:Foolproof Init"
If you are using ZBasic, go into the ZBasic utilities into
the resource adding program. Replace the CODE resource.
Getting by with Foolproof
"""""""""""""""""""""""""
If none of these work, you can still perform certain
functions with it active.
Renaming Files
'''''''''''''''
Log in. Open your network disk's window. Open the window
with the target file. Click on the file and type in its new
name. DON'T PRESS RETURN. Now click on your network disk's
window and it will come to the front. The file is renamed.
Deleting Files
''''''''''''''
The easiest is to use Microsoft Works. Under the 'File'
menu chooose 'Delete...'.
The second way is to use BASIC. Type KILL and then the path
to the program. NOTE: A path on a Mac isn't used like in DOS.
The names are seperated by colons. A sample path looks like
this:
Hard Disk:Games:Spectre VR
Thsi would be the program or file 'Spectre VR' in the 'Games'
folder on the disk called 'Hard Disk'. See the above part
on BASIC for a better idea on how to type in the code.
Conclusion
""""""""""
I really can't say much else. Maybe later when I can work on
it some more I will be able to provide another file with
more info.

\ Holonet /
\ By: Bungie /
\___________CATSlash Magazine - Issue 8, March 1997_____________/
'''''''''''''''File #5 of 9''''''''''''
''''''''''''
Many people don't know it, but Compuserve is also a PSN (Packet
Switching Network) like Tymnet and Telnet. It just has less hosts.
The host we will concentrate on for this issue is Holonet. Holonet
has full internet services and is very easy to get access to.
Step 1: Accessing Holonet
"""""""""""""""""""""""""
Call up Compuserve. When you connect type:
<RETURN>
HOLONET
<RETURN>
This will give you some host connecting garbage. Then you will attach.
Once connected go for the trial. Once you fill out the stuff, and you
are in the trial account, quit it.
It will give you the option to register. Do it. Fill in false
information and a generated Credit Card number (Generate it using
CCS Mac, CrayZ Carder, or Cmaster).
Now you must wait a day. It tells you it has a 24 hour verification
period. It does take a long time, but only about 20 hours. It also
does not really verify the CC number for another 10 hours after that.
Once on you will have telnet, irc, Lynx internet browsing, and many
other internet features. just remember that when you log off, you have
to create a new account for the next day.
And another tip, DON'T sign up for the PPP access or the web page.
They instantly verify that, and will catch you.
Have phun!
