Promote WebSkulker and win a mailing list manager program



Five of you jr. skulkers are going to win a free copy of Better Letter, the mailing list manager program that WebSkulker uses to publish this newsletter.  Here's how the contest will work:  from time to time WebSkulker asks you jr. skulkers to tell your friends about the newsletter and encourage them to subscribe by using our invitation from at: http://www.webskulker.com/invite.html .   Click on that link and submit an invitation form sometime this week naming at least five of your friends.  At the end of the week we will choose five people at random who submitted the form.

So do it now!  Click here:  http://www.webskulker.com/invite.html  and submit five people.  Please don't cheat by making up addresses!  Surely you know five people who would enjoy WebSkulker once they heard about it.

Better Letter is, in the author's words "The easiest way to create and maintain mailing lists without the need for any server-side scripting. Use your normal everyday E-mail account to collect E-mail addresses from people who want to receive your Newsletter. Includes spell checking, automated removal, printing, unlimited number of mailing lists. Will send your newsletter either through your service provider or directly to the recipient without using your service providers mail servers."

A detailed description of Better Letter is here: http://www.actcase.com/help

Your subscriptions to WebSkulker are handled by Better Letter.  It will run on any Windows PC and can handle all the mailing list management through any POP3/SMTP email box you may have.  If your Internet service allows you to use Eudora or Outlook Express or any other email program of that kind, you can use Better Letter without needing any permission or additional services from your ISP.  If you have been thinking of experimenting with your own newsletter, take advantage of this contest to win a copy.

More skulking about caller ID



http://www.angelfire.com/ca/NPA/orange.html

Last Friday's issue pointed to an article with technical information about caller ID.  Jr. Skulker Lucky225 wrote to us saying he is very familiar with that article and has used it to develop a technique for spoofing call waiting caller ID, which he describes in an article of his own at the above link.  He includes a .wav file that you can use to demonstrate, but you must play this into the phone line with great care to keep the quality high enough to work.

Cleaning up after skulking sessions



http://www.evidence-eliminator.com/main.shtml

Jr. Skulker Steve Roderick suggested this site which sells a $24 product (30 day free trial) that is designed to clean up everything on your hard drive that could be used as evidence against you.  It doesn't just erase files, but makes sure they are eliminated from the recycle bin and overwrites the erased files with binary patterns to make sure they can't be unerased.  WebSkulker downloaded the demo version and looked at all the menus.  It has a comprehensive set of options that makes it seem quite legitimate, and is highly rated at download sites, so it probably works as advertised.

Their main claim, however, can't be verified by the common jr. skulker:  "Forensic Analysis software such as EnCase used by investigators, law-enforcement and others, can recover evidence from parts of your hard drive that you thought were empty, parts that you had cleaned... " and they go on to say that their Evidence Eliminator can defeat EnCase.  But without buying a $1,000 copy of EnCase, how would we know if this is true?  The EnCase program is described at this site if you are interested:

Skulking the history of broadcasting



http://www.lib.umd.edu/UMCP/LAB

"The Library of American Broadcasting holds a wide-ranging collection of audio and video recordings, books, pamphlets, periodicals, personal collections, oral histories, photographs, scripts and vertical files devoted exclusively to the history of broadcasting."  Some of the library's audio and visual material are available online.  This site was submitted by Jr. Skulker Analog.

This made WebSkulker laugh

Great comebacks to pick-up lines

Woman: "Perhaps. I'm the receptionist at the VD Clinic."

Man: "Haven't I seen you someplace before?
Woman: "Yeah, that's why I don't go there anymore."

Man: "Is this seat empty?"
Woman: "Yes, and this one will be too if you sit down."

Man: "So, wanna go back to my place ?"
Woman: "Well, I don't know. Will two people fit under a rock?"

Man: "Your place or mine?"
Woman: "Both. You go to yours and I'll go to mine."

Man: "I'd like to call you. What's your number?"
Woman: "It's in the phone book."

Man: "But I don't know your name."
Woman: "That's in the phone book too."

Woman: "Yeah! Let's pick up some chicks!"

Man: "I know how to please a woman."
Woman: "Then please leave me alone."

Man: "I want to give myself to you."
Woman: "Sorry, I don't accept cheap gifts."

Man: "If I could see you naked, I'd die happy:
Woman: "Yeah, but if I saw you naked, I'd probably die laughing".

Man: "Your body is like a temple."
Woman: "Sorry, there are no services today."

Man: "I'd go through anything for you."
Woman: "Good! Let's start with your bank account."

Man: "I would go to the end of the world for you.
Woman: "Yes, but would you stay there?"
