Cypherpunks, I may've found a 3rd picture of my "Moderator Nazi". I have it posted here with the others at - http://members.aol.com/WhtsAMetaU/ofir.html I'd like expert opinion from the Cypherpunks (and any FBI agents that may happen to be lurking the list :-), actually, ESPECIALLY any FBI agents that may be working the list ;-) ) as to whether you think it's the same person. Look at it as if he's losing weight over the years. Write me in private if you wish, and thanks in advance! Stan

March Clerk, ALBUQUERQUE I put stamped copies of both in the mail to you. The government only MAYBE understands FORMAL actions. Informal actions, like letters etc, go into the waste paper basket.

backdoor trojan in ICKill
by nobody＠REPLAY.COM 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

----Forwarded text-------------------------------------------------- Subject: backdoor trojan in ICKill Date: Sun, 7 Jun 1998 19:44:28 -0400 From: Bachrach <bachrach(a)netreach.net> To: BUGTRAQ(a)NETSPACE.ORG First off, I'm not 100% sure if this is the apropriate forum for this since it's not really a weakness, but rather a programmer who is putting backdoors into some programs. Then again technically that's an exploits... Oh I don't know. If this is the wrong place then I apologize profusely for the waste of bandwidth and plead ignorance, but here goes: Well, chances are none of you guys have ever used this program, or even heard of it, but there are alot (35,000) of people who have. I originally downloaded it becasue I've been researching a lot of the weaknesses in the ICQ protocol, (which has become easier as time has gone on. :)) Anyway, after you run it, (ICKill), it creates a file in the directory called 1.exe that acts as a fake explorer. 1.exe accesses your regedit database, and copies itself to windows/system. It changes the regedit so that the fake one will run on startup. It acts mostly the same as the normal explorer with one very crucial execption. It contacts a host (I still can't figure out which one), and executes the commands that are embedded within a text file on the computer. Anyone see it yet? Backdoor city. I contacted the author (who left his e-mail address in the readme), and he's the one who explained th backdoor thing. He also told me a few other things that made me write up to this group. He said that he had gotten almost 35,000 different people's systems calling up his computer at one point; essentuially he has backdoors to 35,000 systems accross the globe. When I asked him why he would go through all the trouble to do this he gave me two reasons: 1. IF (and he emphasized the if) he was a hacker he could use a couple of other people's computers as hops when hacking into a system. Kind of nasty for the sysadmin trying to trace a breaking huh? 2. To quote him "And the backdoors can auto-uptade themselves.. so Imagine I can code a virus like backdoor... Whoaaa! This will be like THAT internet worm.." 3. He also said "Imagine also.. 35,000 backdoored (yeah, I reached this number) connections pinging or SYN flooding some server.." Well if anyone out there is using or has ever used ICKill then get rid of it. I have actually set up a page on this to both inform people and explain how to get rid of all traces of the program that I currently am able to at http://members.tripod.com/~hakz/ICQ/index.html That site also has all of the letters I wrote to him and he wrote to me if you want to see the entire things. It's also got some other info I couldn't fit into this message, including all of the mistakes the author made (guess he needed better beta testing). My last question is this: if one person has backdoors into thousands of computer systems, doesn't that pose some sort of risk to the interent community as a whole? There's one person who's been saying that I should notify the FBI about this. As you can see decided to start here first.

[SPAM] No really. It _is_ spam. It's spam, i tell you. You've been warned!

From: incognito(a)incognito.com Date: Thu, 11 Jun 1998 To: (Recipient list suppressed) Subject: This is fun!!! Hi, Would you like to send someone a letter from Bangkok? Well, you can! Put the letter to be remailed in a larger envelope with US$3 cash and I will post it from Bangkok bearing a Bangkok postmark to any country in the world. If you want the letter to go registered then enclose US$4 cash. I will pay the postage from the enclosed fee. The letter must be lightweight air-mail only containing not more than 2 sheets of writing paper. Here's the address... Incognito P.O. Box 3, 10704, Bang Orr, Bangkok, Thailand. ... Please register your mail to me. - -------------------------------- A must for secret lovers. Great for practical jokes and pranksters. Inform your boss what you think about her/his ideas. Tell your ex-wife/husband you're living in Bangkok. Go on, give it a try it's great fun. You can put as many envelopes in the larger one as you like but you must enclose the fee for each remailed item. The 10th letter goes free! Here's another way... 1. Send US$10 cash and I'll send you three picture postcards of various places in Thailand. I send them to you and you write them out and post back to me for remailing. Or... 2. Enclose a slip of paper with the US$10 giving details of names and addresses and messages to go on the three postcards. Mail to be remailed is sent the same day it is received unless you specify a date for it to be remailed. No records kept and you are completely unknown to me so don't put your name and address on any of the envelopes. Please send a copy of this email to your friends. Have fun!!! *********** ------- End of Forwarded Message

Nobody Report

So 'Nobody' (Tim May) has joined FreeGroup. Of course, shortly after that he revealed himself (in multiple fuckups) and he tried to cause a big ruckus, but that's no big deal. Actually, the alias that he joined the group under seems to be pretty nice guy (when he's not abusing the addressing. ;-) ) So, all's well that ends well, or is it, Tim?
