[ Posted to full-disclosure mailing list by an unknown person who is not an authoritive voice for PHC. This is an archive copy obtained from: http://lists.netsys.com/pipermail/full-disclosure/2002-September/001852.html - Phrack High Council ] PHC Resolution 001 ------------------ To all American blackhats, anarchists, and semi-converted whitehat scum:- How many of your friends, family, associates, will die for Oil in Iraq? How many innocent middle eastern children must die so that America can maintain its position as the world economic pacesetter? Do your weekly petrol and car maintenance bills (read: 'way of life') mean so much to you that you are willing to foster and provoke intense hatred from over 90% of the worlds' population in pursuit of a Pax Americana? Hated for the rest of your life? Is this how you want to live? Hated? By the MAJORITY of the world? Hated by even the westernized, 'free', US-like societies! Hated by the MAJORITY of the world! Do all the people that hate the USA, hate your way of life? Hate your freedoms? Hate your societal, political and governance systems? Do you believe the lies? Or do they simply see what you are unable or unwilling to see? ** A second Rome on the rise, headed by a bumbling, incoherent Caligula flanked by a sub-human administration (Caveat Equidae!) ** There is one suitable course of action and reaction for those blessed with a blackhat mindset and the appropriate testicular fortitude: 1. Owning as many US .gov, .mil and .us systems as possible. 2. Removing or corrupting as much US government data as possible. 3. Causing physical damage to hardware via software. Result: fear, instability and technological uncertainty. Financial loss. HR Loss. Loss of confidence, respect. Data loss. It doesn't matter whether you own and destroy fw1console.af.mil, spacelink.nasa.gov, or somewin95box.hicktown.k12.us. As long as you participate... As long as you cause distress and concern for your victim, and create work for security and administration staff.. As long as you are 'active', you will be doing your part to hinder the war machine of the current US/world emperor. As long as your activities can be considered a 'cost' to the US government, in cashflow or human resource terms, you are having an impact on the war effort. You are doing your bit, using whatever talents you possess, to fight against neo-imperialism, corporatism, globalization, economic elitism, de-humanization, ethnic cleansing, racism, feudalism, hegemony and greed. Any internet-based activity that will 'cost' the US government is to be considered a valid weapon in this war against the NWO. This 'NWO' is no longer a conspiracy theory or an exaggeration. The Bush administration and friends are *seriously* attempting to control the world. Everyone with a high-school diploma and a newspaper subscription is now aware of this shocking fact. But what are YOU going to do about it? What will you be telling your grandchildren when they ask 'what did you do when america tried to take over the world in the early 2000's?'. A number of articles were planned by the PHC detailing methods of causing real financial loss to a victim through technological means. The focus of these articles would be the world beyond 'rm -rf /'. Some virus, trojan and worm authors would have a wealth of experience in this area - causing/creating bad sectors on hard disks, overwriting flash memory in various devices, screwing with PC bios, fucking with VDU refresh/sync rates, denial-of-service attacks against printers, fax machines, pbx systems.. the list goes on and on. All of these methods have traditionally been considered 'too lame' to use in the real world. Apart from a few notable exceptions (chernobyl virus) there have been very few cases of a software method in the 'wild' being used to cause damage to hardware. If you take the example of a peice of a code that can destroy a particular peripheral device, beyond recovery... then 'distribute' that across an organization where every workstation has that peice of hardware.. the costs of recovering from such an attack are considerable, compared to the standard 'box X got owned and defaced' investigation. This is why we pursue this class of attack. This is the future of 'hacktivism', or whatever the fuck you want to call it. Real damage. Submissions are sought by the PHC (readers, fans and co-travellers) on the subject of 'beyond rm -rf /'. Techniques for causing REAL, SIGNIFICANT financial and resource loss to US government through 'blackhat' means. Why are we doing this? Protesting is basically illegal these days. The media runs all stories by the whitehouse before publishing them. The 'opposition' in the US government has never been so un-opposed to government policy as it is today. The illusion of 'democracy' is all-pervading and (legally) irrefutable. The average joe has no weaponry and no recourse to fight a class-war against the ruling elites. But we are not average joes. Enquires should be directed to #phrack/efnet or to your local blackhat representitive (LBR).
