- SECRET SERVICE FREQUENCIES By DATA LINE
-
- The Secret Service, a branch of the Treasure, is responsible for enforce-
- ment of laws realting to US currency and negotiable instruments (e.g. bonds
- and postage stamps) in addition to providing security for the Executive
- Branch. They have offices in most cities with a population of over 30
- thousand or so.
-
- Most communications is "in the clear," although digital voice encryption
- has shown up in the larger cities and will continue to spread. Agents use
- their last name in initiating contact; for example "flahrety, Flahrety, St.
- Louis Base." Or, when a dignitary is in town, "Flahrety, Flahrety, Command
- Post." Few code words are used. "Rawhide" is the President, "Rainbow" is the
- First Lady, "Snowstorm" is the Vice President. These will change from time to
- time, but are easy to figure out. Following is an alphabetical list of the
- frequencies in use around the nation. for daily use, stick with Charlie (165.
- 375). When the President comes to town, plug in all you have room for.

- CONFIDENTIAL AND CLASSIFIED RADIO FREQUENCIES By CHRIS JONES
-
- We all know that the government listens in on just about everything we do.
- So why shouldn't you listen in on the government?
-
- The following is a list of CIA and foreign classified radio frequencies
- including call sign, and times of best access. A short wave receiver is
- almost always necessary especially with the CIA.

- CIA (CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY)
-
- Due to the sensitive nature of this super-secret branch of the US government,
- information regarding radio communication facilities is very scarce.
- The listing below is a combination of ITU data and off-the-air monitoring.
- According to the ITU, a power of 15 kilowatts is used for both CW and RSR/RTTY

- SPY AND NUMBERS STATIONS
-
- Nothing you can hear on short wave quite equals the cloak and dagger
- intrigue of the so-called "Spy and Numbers" stations. As incredible as it may
- sound, the ordinary listener with modest equipment can hear signals intended
- to convey vital information to spies, guerilla fighters, and every consider-
- able type of underground clandestine political organziation.
-
- The majority of radio stations broadcasting such signals do so using
- regular AM. The trick is the spacial numeral code groups -- apparently
- changed with every transmission. Sophisticated techniques are becoming more
- common including compressed CW send at speeds of 200 words per minute for tape
- recording (it's reliably reported that Radio Berlin International transmits
- compressed CW at various times during regular programming). Obviously no ID
- is given by the broadcaster and the "spy" is usually the only one who knows
- what to listen to in terms of positive ID.
-
- The list below contains some of the more frequently heard stations at the
- time of the publication of this file (1-20-86). Frequencies and schedules are
- subject to erratic and sudden changes.
-

- that certain people tend to frown on eavesdroppers so exercise some caution.

- INTEGRATED SERVICES DIGITAL NETWORK - ISDN By AX MURDERER
-
- Until recently, talk and information about ISDN has been limited to docu-
- ments such as "What the Future Holds." Over the past few years, discussion
- about ISDN has moved into the present tense. In fact, Siemens AG predicts
- that narrowband ISDN services should be available in most major US cities.
- Rather than a specific technology, ISDN is a set of evolving standards whose
- formulation began in the late 1970s by telecommunications industry's interna-
- tional standard-setting body, the Comite Consultatif Internation Telepho-
- niqueet Telegraphique (CCITT).
-
- For political reasons, the standards are not expected to be set until at
- least 1989. The purpose of these standards is to provide a framework for the
- acquisition of new technology by the world's phone networks. Leading to the
- adoption of ISDN was an industry-wide realization which would demand on phone
- networks increasing their potential between now and the enxt century. Tele-
- phone companies were going to make large scale investments in new technology
- to keep up with the growing demands of digitized data, and if something wasn't
- done soon, the world's phone systems were in danger of becoming an obsolete
- hodgepodge of incompatibility.
-
- Currently, ISDN standards span many layers in the technical tangle of
- phone transmission from the protocols used for routing messages within the
- network to types of switches used by telephone exchanges.
-
- The first step on the path to ISDN is to replace all the central office
- analog switches in the telephone network to digital switches. Delivering ISDN
- services to the telephone user requires only the lowest level switches, rather
- than using the upper ones which constitute the long-distance switching bureau-
- cracy. Providing ISDN is the job of the Bell Operating companies (BOC's), the
- regional castaways from the breakup of AT&T.
-
- Every time you dial a number, you call is routed through the local sub-
- scriber loop to the local central office switch. The switch acts as an envoy,
- routing your call either straight to its destination, if the destination is
- local, or through a hierarchy of numerous other switches.
-
- The United States has approximately 12,000 local central office switches.
- The switches in operation today range from the primitive step-by-step, to the
- dominant switching technology - high-speed electronic analog, controlled by
- software built and integrated circuits and semiconductors. But the first step
- in ISDN relies on the installation of a new generation of switches now making
- their appearance - state-of-the-art digital switches such as Northern Tele-
- com's DMS, AT&T's 5ESS, and Siemens' EWSD.
-
- The current digital switches vary greatly in design, but all include a
- central communications processor that handles serializing, error management,
- synchronization, and code conversion. The processors' memory banks contain
- information such as the numbers dialed by a particular caller and the services
- subscribed to by each customer. The communications processor is hooked up to
- a variety of peripheral units that may include processors for message priori-
- tization, secondary routing, internal failure detection, diagnostic routines,
- and multi-plexing functions. The switching system may have a capacity of 100,
- 000 or more trunks that connect to other switching centers, and be able to
- switch over a half a million calls per hour.
-
- About one quarter of all phone switches in the US already have some digi-
- tal capabilities, with about 10 percent of the local subscriber loops that
- originate with them being digital lines. The price of replacing an analog
- central office switch varies with the of subscriber lines the switch can sup-
- port. A switch may support anywhere from 2500 to 50,000 customer lines, with
- digital upgrade costs ranging from $1500 to $2000 per line. All this comes to
- about $6 million a switch.
-
- Once a digital central office switch is in place in your area, what next?
- To get from there to the narrowband ISDN, the system is upgraded through soft-
- ware and sometimes hardware add-ons. AT&T's 5ESS switch and Siemens' EWSD are
- upgraded solely through software enhancements and upgrades, while Northern
- Telecom's DMS requires both hardware and software add-ons and upgrades. In a
- typical upgrade, the software handles message protocol conversion, encodes the
- data-packeting and depacketing it, and converts it into a format accepted by
- the central office's switch interface. Since the standards for so many
- aspects of ISDN are still not set, such as the interface between an ISDN
- equipped local subscriber loop and an in-house PBX system, many obstacles
- still await.
-
- It is known, though, what the telephone user will get: high-speed, inte-
- grated voice and data digital communications over an ordinary phone line
- broken into three distinct channels- a service know as basic access. The ISDN
- standards define it as two 64K-bps digital circuit-switched bearer channels
- carrying data and voice, and one 16K-bps channel primarily devoted to carrier
- signaling but also capable of transmitting voice and packet-switched data.
-
- The 64K-bps channels carry data more than twice as fast as data can
- theoretically travel over analog channels of ordinary twisted-pair copper
- cable, and almost seven times as fast as 9600-bps asynchronous modem communi-
- cations. The digital signaling also enables voices to be transmitted more
- clearly, and data can reach its destination with far greater accuracy than in
- the traditional analog scheme.
-
- ISDN's ability to turn existing single phone lines connected to conven-
- tional wall jacks into triple-lane thoroughfares comes from its wide trans-
- mission bandwidth as well as its tripartit channeling arrangement. The wide
- bandwidth ensures that voices and data do not cross paths and pick up from a
- neighboring channel that signal pollution known as talk.
-
- To take advantage of ISDN, computer users will need a terminal adapter
- and a network terminator. Similar to a modem but not much bigger than a pack
- of cigareetes, the network terminator is equipped with modulation and multi-
- plexing functions, provides for fault partitioning, and handles other network
- maintenance jobs. The network terminator is plugged into a standard wall jack
- and contains eight plugs, which can accomodate PC's, phones, and other equip-
- ment.
-
- Since data can be exchanged between various devices attached to the term-
- inator as well as with the outside world, the terminator can almost be consid-
- ered a local area network (LAN) in miniature. Even better than a LAN, the
- terminator requires no rewiring of the premises for installation, and term-
- inals and equipment can be moved with contacting the vendor or phone company.
- As to whether the terminator will ever challenge the popularity of its distant
- cousins, the LAN and the PBX, there are still too many unknowns.

- USPS FUN
-
- Most anarchists know next to nothing about how the USPS works and how to
- exploit the organization to its fullest. As an ex-clerk and present letter
- carrier I have a bit of an advantage. Now you do too.
-
- The most widely known trick is to file a change of address for the victim.
- If you do this a couple of times in a series (e.g. from home to a PO Box in
- Los
- Angeles to an APO in New York), it will be at least a month before the PO
- straightens out the mess. Each carrier will have to fill out a form negating
- the previous forwarding order originated on. Two sequential orders will mean
- three carriers have to get in on the act; each is likely to screw up simply
- be-
- cause of the pressure put on them to get out and start the delivery FAST. The
- first cut a carrier will take is to skip the changes of address and simply
- take
- out all of the mail destined for an address, regardless of the person it's
- addressed to.
-
- If your victim lives in an apartment or townhouse, this scheme will work
- perfectly. People disappear constantly out of these places and a change of
- address isn't questioned. If the carrier screws up and delivers some, so much
- the better. The victim will think he's just not getting much mail. On the
- other hand if the person has lived at the same residence for over five years
- or
- so the regular carrier may question a sudden change of address. The solution
- is to file the cahnge for only the individual you want to bug. Children leave
- home and spouses divorce all the time and an individual change is not
- suspicious.
-
- Getting Rid of Mail
-
- Let's say YOU want to disappear from a bill collector or any particular
- asshole. Get some standard size YELLOW sticky lavels about 15/16'ths by 3
- inches and put them in your dot matrix printer. Print up as follows:
-
- NAM ## 12345678 mm/dd/yy
-
- RETURN TO SENDER
- UNDELIVERABLE AS ADDRESSED
- UNABLE TO FORWARD
-
- Center the text. NAM refers to the first three letters of your last name, ##
- is the LAST 2 digits of your street address. 1234567 is any 7 digit number.
- Put the date you got the notice as the date on the label. Cross out your old
- address with one diagonal slash and place the label so it doesn't cover your
- name or street. Drop in a heavily used collection box.
-
- The use of mail covered by postal authorities is increasing. Basically, a
- mail cover consists of a form given to your carrier to fill out each day the
- cover is in effect. He/She copies down the return address, postmark, class of
- mail (bulk, first class) and anything else on the outside of the envelope.
- The
- mail is NOT opened or delayed. In short, if you think someone is reading your
- mail, think again. When a letter is sent to you it gets collected, cancelled
- and sorted by ZIP code to its destination. The volume of mail is so heavy
- that
- even if they wanted to, NO ONE could separate out your letter from the others.
- St. Louis alone cancels about 1/2 million pieces of first class mail nightly.
- The clerks and mail handlers could care less about an individual letter. At
- the receiving end, the letter is sorted by street and block number to your
- route. The clerks here sit at a machine that feeds fifty letters a minute to
- them. They have to know up to 600 different streets, block numbers and indi-
- vidual businesses that get a lot of mail (e.g. some big stores, cable TV com-
- panies, and trash haulers). They simply don't have the time to look for YOUR
- name.
-
- The only place where a person looks at your name is when your carrier get
- the letter. Mail cover or not, your carrier knows more about you than all but
- your best friends. Your interests, occupation, if you are behind in your
- bills, and to an extent, who your correspondents are. Carriers aren't nosy,
- but they see your mail at least twice a day (once as they case it and once as
- they deliver it) for years, and they naturally pick up a lot of information
- out
- of sheer repetition.
-
- The moral: Be kind to whoever delivers your mail, they have a rough job and
- any small favor (a cold drink in the summer or a small Christmas gift) just
- may
- lead to the carrier going out of his or her way to help you out of a bad spot.
