The Universal Source Listing
Version 1.00 9/25/92
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of the hardest things for new members inducted into the computer
underground to do is finding places where they can buy ( "buy" - I use the
term loosely) the phone equipment, software, chemicals, books, etc. that
they need, to carry out whatever their minds might dream up. To aid these
virgin youths in their plight I've compiled and expanded a list of sources
that is the largest I've ever known to be made. Naturally there is always
room for improvement so if there is anything that anyone out there cares to
ad to the list just drop a note to one of SANctuary's distribution sites or
anywhere else you might stumble upon me (you will of course get
credit for the items you donate) so it can be added to forthcoming
versions.

to deep technically into actual hacking. ISBN 0-912579-06-4.
Cyberpunk: Outlaws and Hackers on the Computer Frontier
by Katie Hafner and John Markoff
Published by Simon and Schuster
A sequel to Steven Levy's book, Hackers, Heroes of the Computer Revolution,
it is a more up-to-date book that talks about hackers NOW, not back in the
50's and 60's at MIT. Unfortunately it takes a rather negative view of
phrackers. $22.95
Beginners Guide to Electronics
From Radio Shack. It'll help the beginner in electronics start to know
what other, more experienced people are talking about.
The Computer Underground
by M. Harry
Published by Loompanics Unlimited.
Considered to be an okay book, The Computer Underground is NOT a fantastic
book, but will help add to the knowledge of the aspiring hacker or self-
educator. Its probability analysis is reputed to be wildly inaccurate
though. ISBN 0-915179-31-8.
Computer Viruses, a High-Tech Disease
by Ralf Burger
Published by Abascus
More or less an interesting how-to book on computer viruses. ISBN 1-55755-

Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution
by Steven Levy
A chronological book about the history of hackers from their beginnings in
the late 1950's at MIT, to the middle 1980's. The BEST historical account
of the culture to date. A definite read.
Die Hacker Bibel I & II
Published by Der Grune, also available from:
Chaos Computer Club,
Schwenckestr 85, D-2000
Hamburg 20, Germany.
Considered a nice book, even though half of the book is in German (that's
why the title is the way it is). ISBN 3-922708-98-6.
The FBI and Your BBS
Published by The FBI Project. ph.# 313.747.7027
For Sysops worried about their legalities. Only one quarter of the book is
considered valuable by 2600 Magazine, but that 25% is considered important.
Out of the Inner Circle

A book about computer security and "The Cracker"(Bill Landereth). It also
explains a little bit about the hacker ethic and what makes a hacker tick.
ISBN 0-914845-36-5.

These people, headed by Mitch Kapor - the writer of Lotus 1-2-3, help to
defend the rights of hackers and members of the computer underground.
Steve Wozniak is also active with this group I believe. Steve, the founder
of Apple Computers, happened to get enough money to start his company by
selling blue boxes door-to-door at UC Berkeley where he attended college.
There are many other articles in legit magazines around (i.e. Esquire,
Newsweek, Time, etc.) Just look up "Computer Crime" in the periodical
encyclopaedias or whatever in the library. You will be surprised by the
amount of stuff around. But keep in mind that they are "above" ground
publications (or whatever you'd like to call them) so that is the type of
material you will be reading. Time Magazine doesn't often publish articles
on how to build a beige box. As for the magazines/journals/catalogs/et
cetera I've listed, I didn't have the time to check out every single item
listed cause frankly, I've got a life to live. So some of them may have
gone down, or out or simply fallen of the face of the earth, others may
have had rate and subscription price changes, while new ones may have
popped up to replace the deceased ones. So if anyone has anything new to
add, whether it be of new magazines popping their heads up, or to say that
some magazine no longer publishes, or just to declare a rate change, it
will all be greatly apreciated as well as acredited.
