CAPTURING PASSWORDS
Many times if you are already a user on a VAX
VMS system, it would be handy to have the
account names and passwords of other users of
the system. In order to get additional names and
passwords, I wrote the DCl (DEC Control
language) command file below which will
simulate the normal login screen on a VT100 or
comatible terminal, and will write the user's
accoiJnt name and password to a file in your
accOUnt, and will then abort as if a line glitch had
occurred.
The user who enters his name and password
should not be suspicious, since the login appears
to abort from natural causes. In the event that
he/she is, however, the CTRl B TAB command
sequence defined will force an exit from the
network or host system before control is passed
back to the user. Note that the CTRl B TAB
sequence is system-specific and should be
whatever characters are used on your system to
disconnect the terminal or process from the host
computer.
The files USER.TST and PASS.TST contain
t h e u s e r's l o g i n n a m e a n d p a s s w o r d ,
respectively.
Another handy trick is shown below. This
command creates a file in your account which
will subsequently capture all the activity

The ent i re system was basica l ly a

You may be aware of the FCC's recent proposal to impose swi tched access charges on
Telenet and the other enhanced service providers (ESPs). This le tter is being sent to all
PC Pursuit users to provide some initial informa tion on the new F C C proposal and to
answer questions you may have regarding the proposal and its potential i mpact on PC
Pursuit and other computer-based services.
Switched access charges (also called "carrier access charges") were origina lly devised by
the FCC as the interexchange carriers' means of payment for their use of the local
exchange dial network in originating and terminating long distance traffic . Now the F C C
proposes t o extend these access charges t o enhanced services such a s Telene t ' s P C
Pursuit . a s well a s t o any other computer-based servic e which h a s interstate traffi c ,
including database services. electronic m a i l , computer conferencing, home
banking/shopping, timesharing, and videotex.
Based on information now available from the F C C , we estimate that access charges would
add approximately $4.50 per hour to ES P costs for dial-in access to a remote host
computer, and $7-9 per hour for a service such as P C Pursuit which uses both dial-in and
dial-out access on each call. PC Pursuit customers and other computer users would be
particularly affected by these access charges. P C Pursui t ' s curren t "Flat-rate/un l i m i ted
usage" service would have to be repriced on a per usage basis, incorpora ting the. $7-9 per
hour access charge. It is doubtful that the service could survive a t this inflated rate.
Telenet and the other enhanced service providers intend to fight the F C C ' s proposal . You
can assist in our effort by letting the FCC and your Congressional representatives know
how access charges will adversely affect your ability to reach i nform a tion and remote
BaS systems affordably. The FCC has asked for this input. Please use this opportunity to
add your voice to the debate and stop the proposed increase.
Once the F C C ' s official Notice of Proposed Rulemaking has been published, w e will
provide more details on the proposal. This information will include addresses and other
information for your letters. and the F C C ' s schedule for receiving com ments on the
proposal. In the meant i m e . please address your questions or c o m m ents to F C C . ISSUES on
PC Pursuit's Net Exchange BaS. P C Pursuit customers can access the Net Exchange using
the following sign-on procedures:
WE N EVER THOUGHT WE'D SEE THE DAY WHEN THIS MAGAZINE would
adually donate space to a huge corporation in order to give them a chance to get a

oaurrenu, but it does happen now and then.
