Welcome to issue 3 of Phrack Pro-Phile. The information herein was originally
supposed to appear as a special issue of PWN, but instead was made this issue's
Phrack Pro-Phile. Taran King and I have collected much information about the
different clubs and groups of today and yesterday and compiled in the form that
you will now see.
\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\
Extasyy Elite: The story of Extasyy Elite is a sad one for the group was
literally destroyed by its own members. The Poltergeist turned
in all of Extasyy after he got busted for carding. This led
the authorities to The Mentor who had stolen 30 Apple //es.
Mentor's bust almost led to The Protestor, but luckily, The
Mentor was able to warn Protestor in time. (See Phrack World
News Issue III).
The membership of the club included:
Bit Blitz Cisban Evil Priest
Crustaceo Mutoid Kleptic Wizard
The Mentor The Poltergeist
The Protestor
Crustaceo Mutoid later joined the Racketeers, but now he and The Mentor write
for a California newsletter called the Underground Informer.
Extasyy hung out on Hack Net BBS and FWSO, a bbs in Colorado.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fargo 4A: This group was started on a conference consisting of Bioc Agent 003,
TUC, Big Brother, Quasi-Moto, Video Warhead, and the Wizard of
Arpanet. What they did was get several Directory Assistants on the
conference, and each person assumed a role of some sort of telco
agent. Now they told the DA's that all their calls were going to be
re-routed to a different location. They got some of the DA's to
believe them, and some of them were almost laid off because of this
conference. By the way, Fargo is in North Dakota, that's where the
first DA was from.
It is believed that Wizard of ARPAnet was busted by John Maxfield
and that BIOC completely retired from the phreak world. This group
was unofficially disbanded, but several of the members are still
active.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Five-O: A reasonably new IBM kracking group, which was formally the Imperial
Warlords. Currently they are re-kracking software and claiming it to
be original by themselves. They are known for placing insulting
messages towards certain people inside their re-kracked software.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IBM Syndicate: This group was formed around April 6, 1986. Its charter
members included; Dark Creaper (916), Brew Associates (215),
Major Havoc (301), and one other whose handle remains unknown
to me at the current time. They were a new phreak/hack/pirate
group. Unfortunately, this group (like so many others) died
within its first month.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Icub (International Computer Underground Bandits):
This is a hack/phreak group who's main emphasis is on phreaking. It is
based in Memphis, Tennessee. It has 10 members in it, and the only
semi-active member left is Doc Holiday. Not much else is really known
about this group except that it is inactive and there have not been any
announced plans to revive it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOD/H: Legion Of Doom/Hackers
These two groups are very closely intertwined. They both were formed
on Plovernet. The founding member was Lex Luthor. Through the years,
there have been LOD/H bulletin boards such as Blottoland, LOD, FOD,
etc. Today there is Catch 22 and a new LOD bbs, supposedly being run
by King Blotto. The current member list of the group is as follows:
Legion Of Hackers Legion Of Doom
----------------- --------------
Blue Archer Phucked Agent 04
Gary Seven Compu-Phreak
Kerrang Khan
Lex Luthor
Master Of Impact
Silver Spy (Sysop of Catch 22)
The Marauder
The Videosmith
LOD/H is known for being one of the oldest and most knowledgeable of all
groups. In the past they have written many extensive g-philes about various
topics. (Please forgive any mistakes in the member list since this list was
provided by Lex Luthor approximately 1 1/2 - 2 months ago).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Metal Communications: A very large group that has written many files throughout
its existence. Some of the boards in its menagerie
include Speed Demon Elite, Metal AE, Metal Works AE,
Metalland I and several others. The membership of Metal
Communications includes:
Cobalt 60/Crimson Pirate/Dr. Local/Red Pirate/Shadow Lord/The Angel Of Destiny
The Apothecary/The Byte/The Byte Byter/The Dark Wizard/The Duke/The Dutchman
The Man In Black/The Prophet/The Pink Panther/The Voice Over/The Radical Rocker
The Warlock Lord/White Knight
Red Pirate, Crimson Pirate, and Dr. Local are the group's main ware
distributors.
A subsidiary of Metal Communications is the Neon Knights whose membership
includes:
Baby Demon/Jolly*Roger/The Blade aka Killer Kurt/The Master of Reality
The Metallian/The Outland/Zandar Zan
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PAG/PAP: Phreaks Against Geeks/Phreaks Against Phreaks Against Geeks
PAG: This group was formed by TWCB Inc. as a joke on a conference in
December, 1985. The charter members were TWCB, Inc. taRfruS,
Blue Adept, The Clashmaster and a few others. Later, Catcher in
the Rye and the Slovak wanted to join.
PAP: In resistance to PAG, Boston Stangler and Micro Man formed PAP.
Several others sided with them but were never formal members.
All of this nonsense was really started on the Dartmouth system and was mainly
a feud between phreaks in the Boston (617) area until TWCB got involved.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Administration: This group was sort of in two parts; The Administration
and Team Hackers '86. The membership of these groups
include:
Adolph Hitler...............Team Hackers '86
Alpha Centauri
Author Unknown..............Team Hackers '86
British Bloke...............Team Hackers '86
Dark Priest
David Lightman (214)........Administration Leader/
Team Hackers '86

The President
Walter Mitty
The group did disband temporarily for reasons dealing with security, but now is
back together. For other news about this group see the current PWN.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Nihilist Order: This group was really a loosely connected bunch of friends
and phreaks and not a true club. It is based in Fremont
and Sunnyvale, California. It was started by TRASk and
The Highwayman. The membership includes:
BelGarion/Ogre Ogre/The Animator/The Highwayman/TRASk
All of the members of the group have been busted or been involved in busts in
the past few months. The Highwayman bit it in the Phoenix Phortress Sting
Operation, and the others all got caught on a carding scam. Although BelGarion
was later released with no record.
One of the boards in the Nihilist Order's network is the Shattered World Elite,
which is sysoped by TRASk. The group is currently inactive.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The P.H.I.R.M.: A somewhat new group that recently has been accused (without
proof) of being fed invested.
Not much is really known about this group as they would
disclose very little information. Some of the boards that are
now P.H.I.R.M operated include Thieve's Underworld, sysoped by
Jack The Ripper, World's Grave Elite sysoped by Sir Gamelord,
and SATCOM IV.
The P.H.I.R.M. reportedly will be releasing a newsletter.
The membership of the P.H.I.R.M. supposedly includes:
Archangel Blade Runner
Jack The Ripper Sir Gamelord
The Stingray
It is rumored that Blade Runner is the same person as
Archangel and/or The Stingray.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TPM (The Punk Mafia): This group when last checked had eight members. The
following is a complete listing.
Arthur Dent Creative Chaos
Erik Bloodaxe Gin Fizz
Ninja NYC Peter Gunn
Rudolph Smith (703) The Godfather (703)
The group will be going through a rebirth this summer. Their main goals
include burglary, fraud, hacking, and phreaking. Most recently The Godfather
retired and Ninja NYC came very close to being busted. See Phrack World News
Issue V.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Racketeers: The new Apple pirating group was assembled by Apple Rebel. The
membership now includes:
Apple Rebel/Crustaceo Mutoid/Hot Rod/The Micron/The Warezird
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tribunal Of Knowledge: This group was formed very recently by Blue Buccaneer
and High Evolutionary with one purpose in mind: to get
together to trade knowledge and information and to
discuss this information until all the members had a
good working knowledge of it. The final result would
be g-philes written by the group about the topic. On
the whole it was a good idea.
The complete membership includes:
Blue Buccaneer Chef Boy R Dee
Cyclone II High Evolutionary
Night Stalker Paradox
Professor Pixel Slave Driver
The Inspectre The Seker
The Wild Phreak
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2300 Club: Based in Cleveland, Ohio. The 2300 Club is now being compared and
treated as miniature mafia by local authorities. This is mainly
for crimes including the blowing up of cars. Two of the members
were caught for fraudulent use of a credit card and one has been
arrested for car theft. Which of the members that refers to, I
don't know, but the membership of the 2300 Club included:
Dr. Gorey Dr. No
Eagle Eyes Judge Dredd
King Blotto Mr. Modem
Prince Squid Spectreman
The Formatter
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2600 Club/New 2600 Club: Both groups are no longer in existence. Originally
started as a local group of friends in St. Louis,
Missouri, it gained members quickly, too quickly, and
as the membership grew, the unity and productivity of
the group lessened until the group(s) finally broke
up. However many of the members of 2600 Club now
write (or have in the past) for Phrack Inc. Among
them are:
Cheap Shades/Data Line/Dr. Crash/Forest Ranger/Gin Fizz/Jester Sluggo
Knight Lightning/Monty Python/Phantom Phreaker/Taran King/The Clashmaster
2600 Club had no relation to 2600 Magazine.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warelords: There are 13 members in the Warelords and they are based in
California, Maryland, Tennessee, Washington D.C., and Wyoming.
Billibuster, a member of the group, said that the Warelords are a
phreaking and carding group that also writes programs and sells
them. He claims that they are not pirates. The group isn't very
active.
