Ubiquitous - Issue 1, File 4:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

New TCP/IP software (mainly sendmail) that can identify a user on a
calling system. Typed by mE!
(I will write more about this when I find out more!)

NEW TCP/IP sotware developed, is now in use that can not only determine
the originating host, but the fucking user as well. This is a scary
thought for all hackers. I first came across this in the sendmail program
(telnetting to port 25). I typed "HELO" as you do and instead of getting
something like:  hello <myhost.mydomain.edu.au> pleased to meet you. I 
recieved something along the lines of:  

		hello <MYUSERNAME@myhost.mydomain.edu.au>

Fuck me they can identify the actuall user as well as the host. I tried
this from a VAX mind you!! NOT as common as unix on the Internet but the
remote system still managed identify me!! I am still looking into how they
do it, but I assume the called host telnets back and does a user enquiry
on your host and finds out who on the system is telnetting out to that 
host. (When you telnet to a host your user info is NOT SENT so therefore
it has to connect back to the host somehow to be able to get this info.)

I will write a bigger file when I find out more about this. Till then, watch 
what the fuck you do and where you do it from. IE don't go and hack the 
living shit out of anything around. (If you are using a hacked account then
that is a different story, however for fuck's sake put a bit of distance
between you and the site (both local and remote sites if possible!!).
In other words divert your calls, use outdials, university terminals,
other phone lines, blue box, or if possible go though a few x.25 or internet
outdials. Basically if you use your common sense you should be cool.

mE!
