Legion of Doom Hacker Group & 80's BBS' reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kbuzz99 · 2021-11-17 17:12 Hey fellow BBS heads. I host a podcast about hacking and cybercrime. As a long time /bbs lurker (and former SysOp myself from the mid-90's), I have an episode you might find particularly interesting. We talk about the hacker group the Legion of Doom (LoD) and some of the old BBS' from the late 80's where they lurked. If you're interested, here's the latest episode of [Modem Mischief](https://www.modemmischief.com/episodes/legion-of-doom). It's available anywhere you get your podcasts. Cheers! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jamespo · 2021-11-17 17:15 thanks, just playing it now! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kbuzz99 · 2021-11-17 17:19 Sweet! Let me know what you think. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Kodiak01 · 2021-11-17 17:45 I still have a dot matrix-printed copy (on 132col no less) of Better Homes and Blue Boxes... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jamespo · 2021-11-17 18:01 I liked it - a little dense, a lot of information, but the production & content was very good. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- viroiddfi · 2021-11-17 19:11 Good read; thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- gnu2tux · 2021-11-17 20:48 Why aren't you on Google podcasts? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kbuzz99 · 2021-11-17 21:01 Thanks! I don't deny that it's a lot of information. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kbuzz99 · 2021-11-17 21:01 Until very recently I had my old USR HST sitting around. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kbuzz99 · 2021-11-17 21:02 I am. Link to [Google Podcasts](https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0c HM6Ly9tb2RlbW1pc2NoaWVmLmxpYnN5bi5jb20vcnNz). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PraiseBobSlackOff · 2021-11-17 21:09 Deezer podcasts only seem to go up to your Snowden episode. But I subscribed, so it should show up eventually. Tschuss. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kbuzz99 · 2021-11-17 22:29 Weird. I think some sites refresh their RSS feeds differently. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- gnu2tux · 2021-11-17 23:32 Subbed! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dignan2 · 2021-11-18 01:53 Awesome, look forward to checking this out. Started calling BBS in mid 80's and was deep in the scene for over a decade, that era was so awesome and being able to explore. Anyone that was in Houston or called into Texas boards join up on FB search for "713 BBS days", started it a few years ago and have tracked down a lot of us old schoolers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lucidphreak · 2021-11-19 15:21 will check this out. i was friends with some of that crew before operation sundevil. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lucidphreak · 2021-11-19 15:22 i was in 214, but i travelled globally same as you.. what was your nick back in the day? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dignan2 · 2021-11-19 15:37 Sox , started an art group called Logic toward the end of my run, after disbandment some of my crew went on to iCE and ACiD. Buddy got busted for phreaking by the FBI, using 950 PBX's for free LD... I hung the modem up for good at that point. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kbuzz99 · 2021-11-19 16:12 That’s cool. The closest I got was a letter from the FBI for dialing into a hacked conference line. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- bkuhl · 2021-11-21 00:06 If I remember correctly, I knew Italian Stallion who wrote Multi-Hack for the Commodore 64 back in the day. He got raided by the FBI and they took all his shit. I once got a letter from Nordstrom department store claiming I hacked their PBX and demanding payment of something like $400. Freaked the shit out of my parents but I refused to pay and they never could prove I did anything illegal…. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kbuzz99 · 2021-11-25 23:01 I was a courier for iCE and ACiD back in the day. I swear half the time was spent scanning for codes and logging into PBX’s. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dignan2 · 2021-11-25 23:07 Nice, yeah calling secret voice mail boxes and writing down codes or scanning txt files friends sent over. I couriered for TDT for a brief stint but mainly flooding in state boards within Texas for the other couriers to grab. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TxCoastal · 2022-02-01 22:28 loads of episodes there that look interesting! thanks for the tip! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TxCoastal · 2022-02-01 22:29 do you recall Chrysalis bbs? may have been an 817 .... but loads of DFW folks on there ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kbuzz99 · 2022-02-01 23:18 Thanks! At the end of the month we’ve got one on the 414’s which talks a bit about PloverNet and some other boards from way back. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2023-09-16 14:32 [removed]
