Interview with MR.X / HSI ========================= IR> What is HSi all about? MR.X> Well, i can not really tell you to much about what HSi are all about, thou this would probbly ruin alot of operations. One thing i can tell you is that we deal with alot of fun things as Contract Nukes and Contract Hacks. We really don't care what we have to do, it's only a matter of money. Ones upon a time, there was a guy that wanted us to do some nasty things with a network called Cancernet, We took the money the guy offered us and burned it infront of him. (we are not animals.. Even if sixpack is pretty close.. :-) IR> How did HSi start? SiXPACK> Yeah, Mr.X and Lloyd started the group, but Lloyd suxed real bad, so we kicked him out when I joined in! MR.X> Well, let me put it like this, LLoyd was a rather cool guy in the begining, but the money made him find out what the word "greed", really stod for. He tricked many of my friends with false information and made alot of guys, very angry. It would have been a bad thing to keep him in the group, so we closed his account and changed all the passwords and in-dials to the HSi-Network. IR> When did you enter the Computer Scene ? MR.X> This makes me remember the golden years of my old ZX80. The memory banks were limited to one kilobyte, but that did not stop me from spending day and night infront of the computer. If i'am correct the date i first unpacked my first computer, would be somewere around 1980. That makes 13 years of struggle to get to the top :-) Hi, Sammy, Pete + all the rest in the former SCCS. IR Did you those days had any plans at all at start a bbs those days..? MR.X> I've allways dreamt of the perfect BBS, but in the 80's the speeds and hardwares were to slow to fit my demands :-) IR> ..and when did you first got into the modem-world ? MR.X> I've been ONLINE since 1989, if you would add up all my privious phonebills you would get enough money to pay the full price of a Cray-1. In the begining i paid for all my calls, i learned the hard way that you can not keep on calling forever if you gotta pay the fucking bill. Sometimes when the bill arrived i had to sell some snow, inorder to get the money. This will make you understand that my phonebills were HUGE. I were (and still are) operating on a non-digital line and even the scanning costs me money :-( IR> Which groups have you been involved with ? MR.X> In the first years of my computer madness i were a member of the TCB (the code brothers). I went on the the SCCS, when the C-64 arrived to our PO.BOX!! I stayed there until 1989. I spent two years on my own, reading everything there was to read about H/P/V. The year was now 1991 and i saw a huge light in the sky and heard the drunk sailer say Mystery seems to be a cool bounch and they bought you a couple of beers at the FP-TRIP to denmark... Hi Wayrah, Jian and all the rest. Jian got himself a huge phonebill and the group lost him, to the streets :-) I went back to my studies... In 1992, me and Lloyd formed HSi. The rest is history... IR> When did you started to Phreak & Hack ? MR.X> I started in 1989, so that makes it 4 years today :-) IR> How was HSi formed, and by who ? IR> HSi were formed by me and LLoyd in 1992. I called him up and said that we should gather our forces and make the world trumle of fear :-) take a look at the text below, it was sent out to alot of big "customers".

IR> Which position did you got at the start in the group ? Mr.X> Number one, what else could i be? I were born as a leader :-) IR> Why did you (and the others) choose the name "Hades International"? MR.X> I came up with the name, the others had nothing to do with it. HACKERS IN DEEP SHIT sounded like a good name :-) And we are in trubble with the FEDS so that makes us International right? IR> Which members did HSi had from the beginning ? MR.X> Well, in the begining it were just me and LLoyd. IR> Any added or removed members since then ? MR.X> Yes, we add and remove alot. One of our policys are to not make a offcial memberlist. A normal HSi member does only know the name of two other HSi employers and he has the phonenumber to one of them. We must operate in this form to make things safe. If i would list all the members right now, there would be some heavy shit falling down on'em. If you wonder if a certain guy is a member, just ask me, if you know my number. IR> What's your "help" to the scene ? MR.X> Help? We ain't doin' anything for free :-) We spend many hours on research that helps the moderate phreak to get the latest information about security problems and movments within the fedral screw-ups. IR> I've heard something about a virus division, in HSi is this true ? MR.X> Yes, we do have a Virus and Trojan section in HSi. If this interwiew would be held within a certain range of phreaks, i might would have told you something more about that. Our programming staff develops customiszed Trojans and Viruses for all systems that we need to gather information from. My board (Room 212) will reopen in one month on a new number with 3 nodes-ringdown and the best selection of HSi viruses and trojans. There will also be a wide selection of other viruses and trojans online. We prommise you 1.44 GIGABYTES of PURE H/P/V. If you belive that you are the best, you'll get a personal invitation. :-) IR> What do you think about HSi comparing to other Hacking groups ? For example SHA ? MR.X> I could not be the judge of that. SHA are not to be called a hacker group, i would prefer to call them a informer group, if you catch my drift. IR> Which Hacking Group are you considering as the best nowdays ? MR.X> Well, there are many H/P groups out there, some of them deal only with system 75's and some of them deal with everything they can get their hands on. The best H/P group out there is and will allways be R.O.T (Hi Lord.IBM). IR> Can you name some organisations/people you have hacked ? MR.X> I can not make a list of them. That would ruin my future as a military system operator :-) (46-31-160342) :-) IR> How do you think of yourselfs on a scale between 1-10 ? MR.X> I can not rank myself, that would be like telling everyone that my EGO is the best since the great swedish vikings :-) IR> Do you have any sites contacts abroad ? .. and do you have any "big" contacts abroad ? .. and Hacked MailBoxes or phone-conf PBX's ? MR.X> Sure we do. Contact Sixpack if you want the NUP's and numbers... Big Contacts??? Does At&T operators and Fedral-fuck-ups count? :-) We do love VMB's and 700- Pbx's :-) IR> Name some things that you have released as HSi ? MR.X> Phreak School, Fuck the AT&T, Scanlist, Offcial Warnings and lotsa more... All those files will be avilible at the new Room 212. IR> Have you ever had any trouble with the cops and why ? MR.X> Trubble, that is my middlemame. I've got no truble with the Swedish Cops (they are so damn corrupted anyway :-) But i can make the list of dudes that wants my ass very long, The FEDS would like to boil my ass and that is a fact. IR> Have you ever been in war with any other group(s) ? MR.X> We don't belive in wars. The H/P world must remain friends. IR> Who do you think is the best hacker alive today ? .. and the best phreaker alive today ? MR.X> As i said before a hacker or a phreak can not be the best of everything. He can be the best of something in the spectrum of hacking or phreaking but not everything. There are alot of skilled hackers and phreaks out there. They all belong to groups like R.O.T and HSi. IR> Which ways of phreaking are the most risky nowadays ? MR.X> Everything is risky if you don't know how to handle it :-) IR> Tell us a bit about the T.PHRAUD bust some while ago ? (Note!) changed his name into the right one, huh?).. MR.X> Hihihihi you spelled his name wrong. But you'll have to deal with his anger and not me :-) I had dinner with him 7 days before he got busted for abusing DATAPAK. I told him (and he knew himself) that the Swedish Telecom knew about him. Still, he said "I don't care..." Look what happend :-) Cu around Ted . IR> You turned down your bbs (Room 212) becuz of that eh ? why? MR.X> Our dear friend TED had a auto-logon script to my board and alot of captures. I did not like the risk of being brought to justice. IR> What's your oppinion about board-crashers ? .. and about all BBS systems with backdoors ? .. and about Laric / PCE 1.00 Author, (full of B-Doors!!) MR.X> I really don't mind them. Infact i love them. Hi Wico :-) Backdoors are great, they make the world spin around... AND LARIC are my favorite backdoor maker, :-) IR> Have you ever made a board close ? and which & why ? MR.X> atdt 01146www31160342 Hack, hack, anyone there :-) IR> What's your defination of a Mega-Lamer ? MR.X> A 14 years old trader from Stockholm, Sweden. IR> Which H/Group are you considering as the most lame ? MR.X> I don't bother to remember the name of lame H/P groups :-) IR> What do you think about other scenes comparing to the H & P scenes ? (Piracy vs. Hacking, Piracy vs. Phreaking and so on ?) MR.X> You could not compare The H/P scene with any other scene. I dislike piracy and say the famous words "Viruses to the pepole!". IR> Why do you love to Phreak/Hack ? Mr.X> It keeps my brain BUSY... Ring, BUSY!... Redial :-) IR> Your best H/P memories ?

MR.X> The last thing i wanna tell you is to take care. We would not like to read about any more at&t busts and you can avoid to get busted if you are carefull. The phreaks of today does not stay in business for a long time. They get busted. Don't become greedy, that is my final advice.
