   Synopsis
   --------
   
   The purpose of this list is to 'digest' current events of interest that
   affect the online underground and netizens in general. This includes
   coverage of general security issues, hacks, exploits, underground news
   and anything else I think is worthy of a look see.

    This list is NOT meant as a replacement for, nor to compete with, the
   likes of publications such as CuD or PHRACK or with news sites such as
   AntiOnline, the Hacker News Network (HNN) or mailing lists such as
   BUGTRAQ or ISN nor could any other 'digest' of this type do so.

    It *is* intended  however, to  compliment such material and provide a
   reference to those who follow the culture by keeping tabs on as many
   sources as possible and providing links to further info, its a labour
   of love and will be continued for as long as I feel like it, i'm not
   motivated by dollars or the illusion of fame, did you ever notice how
   the most famous/infamous hackers are the ones that get caught? there's
   a lot to be said for remaining just outside the circle...

     Revised Xmas 98
     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
     I do NOT work for the government in any shape or form other than
    paying uh some of my erhm taxes...well most of it but fuck you 
    you don't need to know that. 
    
    Ok i'm still a noone and a nobody, but yeah I *was* a hacker, been
    a cracker, ran a warez board (and a PD board) done some phone phun
    etc .. but all in my teens and i've since started wearing a "white
    hat" (but it has little grey specks on it I must admit) and I am in
    no way a "master hacker/phreaker" not "leet". I'm just me, take it or
    leave it, didn't want it, didn't need it, been there, done that ...
    you guys have the reigns now and i'm deadly curious as to what you're
    doing with them. Hell mail me for advice and shit if you want, i'll
    help if I can. I'll respond to all verifiable emails. Maybe even some
    aol.com's.  I hear there's a new movie out "You've got burned!"
    or something? sounds cool gotta check that out...    

    If you're really curious and have "mad sk1llz" you prolly know who I
    am or could find out if you care so much, bfd. I've nothing to hide
    go ahead, it might be fun. ;-) just don't come to my house to rag on
    my ass coz badness may reign down upon you,and I have some heavyweight
    friends  well we all die sometime if you 
    wanna go early, fine by me. 

    Version 1.0
    ~~~~~~~~~~~
    I am noone, a nobody, I am not a phed or a narq, I could be you. I do
    this for myself and some friends, you get something out of it too?
    'whump, there it is'. Thats all there is to it, nothing more, Neither
    am I a "hax0r" or a "cracker" and hell if I were, you think i'd
    broadcast it all over some crummy news sheet? heh, get over it, this
    is meant to be a fun read, nothing more, so get reading. and if you ain't
    smiling, you're taking things much too seriously. Keep hacking and stay
    free ... w00t.

    C*:.
    
       "Daddy. what does regret mean?"
 
   "Well son, the funny thing about regret is, that its better to regret
    something you HAVE done, than to regret something that you HAVEN'T 
    done, oh and by the way if you see your mom this weekend tell her 
    ... NFR!!!!"

0.4  Whats in a name? why HWA.hax0r.news??
     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     
      Well what does HWA stand for? never mind if you ever find out I may
     have to get those hax0rs from 'Hackers' or the Pretorians after you.
     
     In case you couldn't figure it out hax0r is "new skewl" and although
     it is laughed at, shunned, or even pidgeon holed with those 'dumb
     leet (l33t?) dewds' *128) etc nullmodemed together with a bogus kinda 'lan' thingy
     that run in interpreter C= mode heh hell I remember paying $950
     for a 7 meg (seven megabytes) HD for my C64 bbs and thought I kicked
     ass. Oh yah I've run various bbs'es and even wrote one for the C= 
     machines INCLUDING the Vic-20 , someone said it couldn't be done so
     i just HAD to prove the fuqr wrong.  NEC-V20 chips anyone?
     
     Thats it. I had way more but that would be secret, hardware is kinda
     like sex the more you have the more people know about you etc ..
  
     ;-)
     
     Wierd machines: IBM RS6000, Ohio Scientific multi-processor 6502
     Atari 2600, Coleco Adam, TI thingy, IBM wierdness from some bank
     etc .. the Ohio Scientific was interesting, nice 17" hd in there
     and all the patients records were still on it... hrm. bing! ^G

       Good for making fone calls with and confs, carding? not into it but
      at least one of my friends went to juvi for in excess of $250k in 
      cc phraud. Several visits to dumb friends by security types got me

      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Q: WTF is @HWA a copyright notice?
        
    A: No. @HWA and  @HWA'98 does not denote (c) 1998 its just a cool 'end of
       article marker' thingy like some real mags have (Boot, now MaximumPC
       Sysadmin etc ...) however the newsletter IS (c) 1998/1999 so pfft. 
      
    Q: Are you a girl or a guy?

    Q: What does AAM, EoF, EoD,NFC, NFR, PHAC, P/H/A/C/CC/CT/G/V/W, Plik!
       and etc mean??
    A: Check out your favourite search engine and do a search for those terms
       like "phac meaning" etc (If you're from AOL remove the quotation marks 
       when you type that in, those are the two little dot things that seem to
       hang in the air above letters, they look like skydiving sperm) 
   
    Some of the stuff related to personal useage and use in this zine are
    listed below: Some are very useful, others attempt to deny the any possible
    attempts at eschewing obfuscation by obsucuring their actual definitions.
      
    !=   - Mathematical notation "is not equal to" or "does not equal"
           ASC(247)  "wavey equals" sign means "almost equal" to. If written
           an =/= (equals sign with a slash thru it) also means !=, =< is Equal
           to or less than and =>  is equal to or greater than (etc, this aint 
           fucking grade school, cripes, don't believe I just typed all that..)      
    AAM  - Ask a minor (someone under age of adulthood, usually <16, <18 or <21)
   *AOL  - A great deal of people that got ripped off for net access by a huge
           clueless isp with seckurity that you can drive buses through, we're
           not talking Kung-Fu being no good here, Buy-A-Kloo maybe?
    EoC  - End of Commentary

    America Online - Your Security 

    America Online's service, designed originally to handle about 30,000 users, is now
    serving millions. As a result, many of its flaws are coming out into the open -- one
    of the most prominent has been AOL's almost nonexistant security. In this mirror
    of the original AOL Security site, find out how it is that the AOL hacker
    community knows more about the service than AOL itself. 

    AOL: A Spammer's Paradise 

    Virtually every AOL member wages a day-to-day battle with unsolicited
    commercial junk mail. Is AOL doing all it can to stop its flow? Not a chance.
    AOL equips its users with nearly useless mail filtering options which do nothing but
    make spammers get a new domain name every day. In the process, AOL has
    made it easier and easier for spammers to build junk mail lists, and has done
    nothing to stop that "harvesting" beyond making it a TOS violation.

         LoRD OaK, the 'hacker' who defaced CyberArmy recently tries to keep
         the dispute between him and the webmaster of CyberArmy alive. He
         wrote 100 % Pure Bikkel: "I donno if it matters or not, but if you go
         to cyberarmy's webpage, it says the source was being "handed out" by

         www.confine.com under CGI-Warez. Also their script was already
         copyrighted and it is the EXACTLY the same script like word for word."

     December 02, 1998

     TOKYO -- Hundreds of pornographic images of children flood
     Internet sites with addresses ending in "jp." It's a tip-off that they
     originate in Japan -- and that there is basically nothing officials can
     do about it. With no laws explicitly banning child pornography, Japan
     has acquired the dubious distinction of being the global leader in the
     fast-growing Internet child pornography business. Japanese police
     say there are about 1,200 commercial child pornography Internet
     sites in Japan. Some feature photos of children from Japan, others
     of Southeast Asian children. Keiji Goto, a senior official at the
     National Police Agency, said police are frustrated by cases in which
     they identified the source of a pornographic site but were unable to
     take further action.

     CHINESE CRACKERS GET DEATH SENTENCE

     Editor Comments:

     Just picked this up by Wired News ... not a nice story for this "xmas 
     special" Is this what the world is coming to? some countries don't fuck 
     around with ANY sort of anti-government sentiment, this is a classic example
     especially to 'the newbie contingent' to be damn sure you KNOW WHAT YOU'RE 
     GETTING YOURSELF INTO and be sure to cover your ass/tracks or you may get 
     something pushed up there, or even worse, be terminated 
     
     
     
     USERS TERMINATED BY FOREIGN HOST

     The Story:
     Chinese Crackers Get Death (Reuters 8:55 a.m.  28.Dec.98.PST)
     
     SHANGHAI, China -- Two crackers who broke into a bank computer network 
     and stole 260,000 yuan (US$31,400) have been sentenced to death by a court
     in eastern China, the official Wenhui Daily said on Monday.  

     Hao Jinglong, formerly an accountant at the Zhenjiang branch of the 
     Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, was condemned to death, as was his
     brother, Hao Jingwen, the newspaper said. The Yangzhou Intermediate Court 
     in Jiangsu province also confiscated 40,000 yuan from Hao. 

     The two opened 16 accounts under various names in a branch of the bank in
     September and later broke into the branch to install a controlling device
     in a bank computer terminal, the newspaper said. 

     They used the device to electronically wire 720,000 yuan in non-existent
     deposits into the bank accounts. Afterward, they successfully withdrew
     260,000 yuan from eight different branches of the bank, the newspaper
     said. 

     All the money has since been recovered, the newspaper said, without giving
     further details.

     Two sentenced for subverting state
     Author: 

     THE Chinese courts yesterday sentenced two men convicted of subverting 
     state power to 13 and 11 years in prison respectively. Xu Wenli, a 
     Beijing resident, and Wang Youcai, of East China's Zhejiang Province,
     also received a three-year deprivation of their political rights from
     the Beijing No 1 Intermediate People's Court and the Intermediate 
     People's Court of Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang. 

     Both Xu and Wang previously served prison terms in China. 

     In an open trial yesterday, the Beijing No 1 Intermediate People's Court
     found that in November this year, with the purpose of subverting state 
     power, Xu secretly planned the founding of the so-called "Beijing and 
     Tianjin Regional Party Committee of the China Democratic Party," 
     formulated this illicit organization's constitution, and served as its
     chairman. 

     The court also found that Xu made efforts to recruit party members, 
     planned to convene a national party congress, and sought and accepted 
     funds from some hostile overseas organizations in order to organize, plan
     and conduct subversive activities. 

     It was also proven by court investigation that from November 1997 to April
     1998, Xu used various means to stir up subversive activities. After hearing
     opinions from the prosecutors and the defence, the court ruled that in 
     accordance with relevant stipulations in China's Criminal Law, Xu's 
     activities constituted the crime of subverting state power, and he should 
     be punished according to law as both a principal element in the case and a
     recidivist. 

     In an open trial in Zhejiang, the Intermediate People's Court of Hangzhou 
     found that in June this year, with the purpose of subverting state power, 
     Wang secretly planned to found an illicit organization called the "China 
     Democratic Party," formed a "Zhejiang Preparatory Committee for the China
     Democratic Party," and formulated a party constitution and a declaration. 

     The court also found that in order to organize, plan and conduct subversive
     activities, Wang contacted some hostile overseas organizations, from which 
     he sought and accepted financial support. 

     After hearing the opinions of the prosecutors and the defence, the court 
     ruled that in accordance with relevant stipulations in China's Criminal Law
     Wang's activities constituted the crime of subverting state power, that the
     crime was severe, and that he should also be punished as a recidivist. 

     Xu and Wang families and people from various walks of life attended yesterday's
     court hearings. (Xinhua)

     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     From HNN http://www.hackernews.com/   
     

    " War declared on China and Iraq "


     contributed by Legion of the Underground 
     In a very heated and emotional discussion Legion of the
     Underground declared cyber-war on the information
     infrastructure of China and Iraq last night. They cited
     severe civil rights abuses by the governments of both
     countries as well as the recent sentencing to death of
     two bank robbers in China and the production of
     weapons of mass destruction by Iraq as the reasons for
     their outrage. 
 
     Quoting from the Declaration of Independence about the
     right of the people to govern themselves and stating
     that the US government will probably stand idly by while
     these atrocities happen in other countries the Legion of
     the Underground called for the complete destruction of
     all computer systems in China and Iraq. 
 
     "The Government controls what goes into our mouths
     lets not let them do the same with what comes out!"
     said one LoU member during a press conference held on
     IRC Monday night. 
 
     LoU mentioned that they may seek out assistance in
     their war from the Hong Kong Blondes. The HKBs are a
     well known group attempting to cause mayhem on
     China's internetworks from within the Iron Curtain. The
     HKBs where trained and assisted, until recently, by the
     infamous Cult of the Dead Cow hacking group. 

     Legion of Underground gained previous notoriety back in
     October for defacing the Chinese Human Rights web site

     SHANGHAI, China (Reuters) -- Two hackers who broke into a bank
     computer network and stole 260,000 yuan (31,400) have been sentenced to
     death by a court in eastern China, the official Wenhui Daily said on Monday.

     They used the device to electronically wire 720,000 yuan in non-existent

     260,000 yuan from eight different branches of the bank, the newspaper said.

     take the damn infrastructure down. We can NOT let this sort of thing go on
     Kevin Mitnick gets 3yrs with no trial and China is fucking killing people,
     this is now open cyber-war. Thats what they want?, thats what they're going
     to get. 
     
     Prepare for armageddon. Is an electonic world war imminent?
