From the JOKIN' AROUND DISK by LEEJAN ENTERPRISES P.O. Box 66. Happy Valley. South Australia. 5159. The Computer Purity Test ======================== --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This test is designed to be an approximation of the popular series of "Purity Tests" that have circulated for some time, but instead of dealing with sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll, it deals with various things of or involving computers, particularly those which are illegal, unethical, or offensive. Currently, there are 128 questions. Eventually, this number may rise, as in the case of other Purity Tests. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- As you answer the questions, keep track of how many "YES" answers you have. All questions are numbered in hexidecimal (of course!), with explanations offered where the creator thought them necessary. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. Hacking and such. Hacking: In this sense, the unauthorized use of any computer account or priviledge not legitimately belonging to yourself. In most civilized countries, more than mildly illegal. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Have you ever had a hacked account, or hacked an account? 2) Have you ever had more than 5 such accounts? 3) Have you ever had accounts in 2 or more states, at least one of which was hacked? (If this gets distributed internationally, for those of you who don't have states, use provinces, counties, precepts, whatever) 4) Have you ever had accounts in 2 or more countries, at least one of which was hacked? 5) Have you ever had accounts on 2 or more continents, at least one of which was hacked? 6) Have you ever hacked an account on a corporate computer? (This doesn't have to be the corporation that MADE the computer, mind you. Burger King counts) 7) Have you ever hacked an account on a government computer? (Federal or state preferred, county or township acceptable, school districts and such don't count.) 8) Have you ever hacked a root, operator, or administrative account? 9) Have you ever created your own illegitimate account? (Note: this is a whole heck of a lot easier to do if you answered yes to the last question) A) Have you ever been mistaken for a legitimate user by fellow users? (The fellow users had to be legitimate users themselves, if ten people hack the same computer, you'll all be assuming that the other guy is legit, anyway) B) Have you ever been mistaken for a legitimate user by the operator? (Considering that most operators are never at the console, this basically means not getting deleted, being able to send mail asking questions just like anyone else, etc.) C) Have you ever been mistaken for a legitimate user by the system administrator? (Same as the operator, only this guy is theoretically in the know about who everyone really is D) Have you ever convinced users that you were an operator? (Once again, the users convinced must be legitimate users) E) Have you ever convinced an operator that you were also an operator? (Generally, this works best if you are trying to convince him that you are the operator on another computer, NOT on his own) F) Have you ever convinced an operator that you were the system administrator? (Believe me, I've met some operators you could score this one with) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ II. Pirating and such (copying software, or if you're good, hardware, that someone else holds the copyright on, and distributing it, or receiving it. This does NOT entail removing copy protection, that's Cracking, which is covered later in the test.) This is, naturally, illegal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10) Have you ever pirated a game? 11) Have you pirated more than 10 games? (10 DIFFERENT ones) 12) Have you pirated more than 100 games? 13) Have you ever pirated an application? (Desktop, Windows, etc) 14) Have you pirated more than 10 applications? 15) Have you ever pirated a utility? (Word processor, spreadsheet...) 16) Have you pirated more than 10 utilities? 17) Have you ever pirated an operating system? (CP/M, MS-DOS, SunOS-4) 18) Have you pirated more than 10 operating systems? 19) Have you pirated programs for more than 1 computer? (These must be computers that are not compatible) 1A) Have you ever pirated a program that retailed for more than $500.00? 1B) Have you ever pirated a program for a computer that retailed for more than $500,000.00? (IBM 3090, Cray, etc) 1C) Have you ever copied a cartridge to disk? 1D) Have you ever copied a chip? (EPROM burning) 1E) Have you ever run a 'Pirate' BBS? (If you had one with a 'Pirate' file transfer area among legal ones, it counts) 1F) Have you ever had law enforcement personnel on your 'Pirate' BBS, without being caught? (K-mart security guard who lives down the street and calls in does NOT count. Has to be someone who could actually DO something to you for pirating) 20) Have you ever pirated across state lines? (Once again, for those who don't have states, use whatever regional areas your nation is divided into) 21) Have you ever pirated across national boundaries? 22) Have you ever pirated with connections on another continent? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- III. Phreaking. In this category, "used" translates to "used illegally to lower or annihilate your communications expenses." This is not only illegal, it tends to be prosecuted quite frequently. Phone company security people are less friendly than FBI people, even. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 23) Have you ever used someone else's calling card? (This means using it without their knowledge, permission, or, hopefully, acquaintance) 24) Have you ever used a Dimension, or any other PBX? (Private Branch Exchange, found in corporations, governments, schools, and other places needing many many phone lines.) 25) Have you ever used an Aspen, or any other VMB? (Voice MailBox, found in places needing a super-duper multi-function answering machine. Also found on "party lines") 26) Have you ever used a divertor? (A number that when you call it, rings another number further down the line, thus theoretically decreasing cost to the owners by making 2 short calls instead of one long one) 27) Have you ever used conferencing? (Alliance, et al.) 28) Have you ever used a loop? 29) Have you ever used a box of any sort or colour? 2A) Have you ever defeated "Caller I.D."? 2B) Have you ever made a collect call TO a pay phone? 2C) Have you ever convinced others you were a phone worker? (Others include friends, family, neighbours, telephone customers, and religious officiaries above the bishop) 2D) Have you ever convinced the operator you were a phone worker? 2E) Have you called long-distance for free more than 5 times? (Note, this does not include calling free numbers, you must be making a call that you would, under normal circumstances, be billed for) 2F) Have you called out-of-state for free more than 5 times? 30) Have you called international for free more than 5 times? 31) Have you called inter-continental for free more than 5 times? 32) Have you ever called around the world, with at least 5 "stops"? (This entails getting friends in foreign lands, all of them with 3-way calling or similar capabilities, and making a circle.) 33) Have you had more than 10 people on-line at once? (Conferencing, or using 3-way, or such) 34) Have you had more than 10 people on-line, in more than one country? 35) Have you had more than 10 people on-line, on more than one continent? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- IV. Carding. Using plastic to get things that you would otherwise be forced to do without, such as '386 systems, subscriptions to magazines, and, of course, all those phreaked calls to phone-sex numbers. This is illegal. This is VERY illegal. This gets into the department of "federal offense" quite easily. This is the kind of stuff that the FBI taps your phone if your FRIENDS are doing it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 36) Have you ever had cards? (Must be of people who are not acquaintances or relatives.) 37) More than 10 at once? 38) More than 100 at once? 39) More than 5 kinds at once? (5 kinds, not 5 banks. Having VISA from 5 banks doesn't count. Having VISA, MasterCard, AmEx, Discover, and AT&T does. AmEx and AmEx Gold don't count as two separate kinds.) 3A) Have you ever carded successfully? (You got what you wanted, and didn't get caught, and no one noticed.) 3B) Have you ever carded more than $500.00 at one time? 3C) Have you ever carded more than $5000.00 at one time? 3D) Have you ever conspired with others to pull off an act of carding? (Example given: One has the cards, one makes the call, one picks up the order at the drop site) 3E) Have you ever held a job solely to acquire cards? (Mail-order operator, retail sales, bank, etc.) 3F) Have you ever had access to TRW or any other means of validating cards? (You call their computer, give it the card number, and it tells you all about the owner of the card, thus making it oodles easier to impersonate said owner) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- V. Cracking. This is the act of actually removing copy protection of any sort from software. Without cracking, pirating would be a dead art. This is not explicitly illegal, if you don't give the cracked software to anyone else. Cracking can be done just so you can make a backup for personal use. Of course, that's rarely the case.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 40) Have you ever cracked a game? 41) Have you ever cracked an application? 42) Have you ever cracked a utility? 43) Have you ever cracked an operating system? 44) Have you ever written an intro or demo screen? (Nice little screen put on cracked game to identify the cracker to the pirating community, thus gaining infamy and respect) 45) Have you ever written music for an intro? (They're much nicer with music.) 46) Have you ever written a music/graphic intro? 47) Have you ever been nationally known as a cracker? 48) Have you ever been intercontinentally known as a cracker? 49) Have you cracked more than 10 programs? 4A) Have you cracked more than 100 programs? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- VI. Trashing. The fine art of trash-picking things far more interesting than old sofas and broken televisions. Also known as dumpster-diving. Also known as tresspassing. Slightly illegal. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4B) Have you ever trashed? (You must have actually retrieved something from the trash, not just looked) 4C) Have you ever trashed a retail store? (Cards, etc) 4D) Have you ever trashed an academic or research site? (Student or employee ID's and information, etc.) 4E) Have you ever trashed a technological corporate site? (Inside information, etc) 4F) Have you ever trashed a communications corporate site? (Phreaking information, phone componentry, etc.) 50) Have you ever trashed a technological manufacturing site? (Bits and pieces of computers, etc) 51) Have you ever trashed a government site? (Treason, etc) 52) Have you ever re-assembled shredded or destroyed documents? 53) Have you ever had documents clearly marked "proprietary", "restricted", "classified", or such? (In est, things that weren't supposed to EVER get thrown out in the first place) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- VII. Intelligence/Espionage, et cetera. This is the stuff you can get taken away and shot for... treason is nestled nicely in this category. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 54) Have you ever traded documents? (This must be over a computer. Sending the stealth-fighter plans in a manila envelope doesn't count. Sending them in MacPaint format does) 55) Have you ever traded copyrighted documents? 56) Have you ever traded classified documents? 57) Have you ever traded documents across state lines? 58) Have you ever traded documents across national boundaries? 59) Have you ever traded documents intercontinentally? 5A) Have you ever sent documents to persons in countries not allied to, or hostile to, your own? (For the US, Turkey counts) 5B) Have you ever intercepted any transmission of documents? 5C) Have you ever eavesdropped electronically? 5D) Have you ever bugged a phone? (not your own) 5E) Have you ever used a radio device for eavesdropping? 5F) Have you ever used a communications satellite for purposes other than those which its operators intended? (Cable pirating, sending pirated games across the ocean, et cetera) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- VIII. Compusex and such. Where this test meets the other purity tests. Things you can do even if you can't convince anyone to get near you in the real world, and some things that few people would ever admit. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 60) Have you ever done compusex? (Being sexually explicit on the computer, in communication with another person, for purposes of arousal of one or more of the parties involved) 61) Have you done compusex across state lines? 62) Have you done compusex across national boundaries? 63) Have you done compusex intercontinentally? 64) Have you ever participated in a compusex orgy? (more than 2 people doing compusex) 65) Have you done compusex while posing as a member of the opposite sex? (popular past-time on networks) 66) Have you ever had any X-rated images? (GIF, RLE, MacPaint, etc, must be on a computer, not on hardcopy) 67) Have you ever created an X-rated image? (Drawn with MacPaint or similar software, or digitized) 68) Have you ever posed for an X-rated image? 69) If so, was it distributed? (Uploaded to a BBS or network, etc) 6A) Have you ever had any X-rated animation? (An image that moves) 6B) Have you ever created an X-rated animation? 6C) Have you ever posed for an X-rated animation? 6D) If so, was it distributed? 6E) Have you ever had any X-rated game? (Text, Graphics, Text/graphics, must be on a computer) 6F) Have you ever written one? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- IX. Virii and such. Fun little things that damage other computers. Note: No points will be given for being stupid enough to let your OWN computer get the virus/trojan/worm. This stuff is fun, but illegal, for those who missed the Robert Morris trial. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 70) Have you ever written a successful trojan? (It looks like a constructive program, but isn't) 71) Have you ever written a successful virus? (It's just plain destructive, and hides in other files) 72) Have you ever written a successful worm? (It runs through the system, generally through multiple systems on a network, either destroying data, tying up power, or both) 73) Have you ever set one of the above free, and distributed it? (Either through BBSes or networks or both) 74) Did it work as well as or better than you had expected? 75) Did you ever destroy anything on a network? (This doesn't mean deleting a file. This means knocking out a link, disabling a remote system, etc) 76) Have you ever killed an entire network or sub-network? (At least 5 machines involved here) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- X. Basic sickness, dementia, and such. Most of this isn't illegal, but answering yes to these might show that you're a little out-of-date, out-of-touch, or out of your mind. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 77) Have you ever owned more than 2 computers simultaneously? (Once again, incompatible ones.) 78) Have you ever owned a computer requiring coolant, raised floors, or air-conditioning? 79) Have you ever owned a computer worth more than your means of transportation? 7A) Have you ever owned a computer worth more than your place of residence? 7B) Have you ever computed in lieu of or during sexual activity? 7C) Have you ever had a computer which was any of the following: 10 or more years old? 1 or more generation out-of-date in CPU? serial number 100 or less? not compatible with anything within 50 miles? 7D) Have you ever been on a computer for more than 24 hours straight? (If you fell asleep, that doesn't count) 7E) Have you ever built a computer? (This means more than just plugging the peripherals in. You must have done some assembly inside the computer itself, such as installing the motherboard, adding capabilities, altering the configuration, etc) 7F) Have you ever introduced someone to computers and thus caused them to neglect other responsibilities and/or hygenic activities for extended periods of time? (eating, sleeping, work, showers, classes, and such) 80) Do you have a computer at all? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scoring: Take the number of questions you answered YES to. Let that number equal X. Subtract X from 128. Let the answer equal Y. Divide Y by 128 and multiply by 100 to get your percentage score. Essentially, for those of you who want to use your computer to work this out, the formula is as follows: Score = 100((128-Yes_Answers)/128) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This test was created by someone, using a hacked account. If it doesn't make sense, who gives a s**t !! From the JOKIN' AROUND DISK by LEEJAN ENTERPRISES P.O. Box 66. Happy Valley. South Australia. 5159.
