WARNING: Don't try this at home. If you're stupid enough to try any of this
shit, we're not responsible. We aren't gonna pay your hospital bills because
you blew off your thumb. We'll just laugh at you. WE AREN'T RESPONSIBLE FOR
ANY DAMAGES CAUSED BY USE OF ANY OF THE MATERIAL PRESENTED IN THIS FILE.

WD bomb:
Of all the cheap homemade bombs available, the WD bomb is one of the coolest.
If you're lucky, you can even get a nice mushroom cloud with this bomb.
Ingedients:
1 FULL can of WD-40 (or any compressed flammable substance)
1 tube of rubber cement
1 lighter (or match)
1 bb gun (can be reused)
1 bb (can be reused if you're stupid enough to spend the time to find it)
Directions:
Put the WD can down on the ground. Cover it with the rubber cement. Or, if
you're too cheap to use rubber cement, start a fire on and around it (a Chud
variant is good for this.) Then, light the rubber cement. If you got the
good kind of cement, it should burn well. Now, get the hell away and shoot
it with the bb gun. See, we told you it ruled.

Chud:
Chud is a simple long burning high heat small flame material. It can be
used to replace rubber cement in the WD bomb. Chud is the gas mixture,
however, several different mixtures exist and are specifically named. By
the way, this shit is hard to put out. I should know, I once kicked a
mixture of this under someone's shed.
Ingredients:
2/3 flour
1/3 flammable liquid
Directions:
Put the flour and flammable liquid in a cup. Stir until the mixture has a
dogh-like texture. You may need to adjust the ratios of the flour and the
flammable liquid.
Flammable Liquids:
As stated above, Chud has several variants. The gas mixture (plain Chud) is
recommended because of its high flammability and low cost. However, in
certain cases Chud may not be the best mixture. Here is a list of
substitutions for the gas:
Gas - Chud
Oil - Chug
Anti-freeze - Chuff
Anything else - Chuz

Works Bomb:
Most everyone has heard of the Works (or hydrochloric acid) bomb. Well, we
figured we'd reprint it for the sake of those who don't know about it. The
Works bomb is just a simple pressure bomb. You put two materials that
react with each other (in this case, hydrochloric acid and tin foil) in a
container (in this case, a two liter bottle) and the pressure builds up
until the container makes a really big 'BOOOOOM.' Someone I knew did this
in a forest right next to a little league baseball team while they were
practicing. The bomb exploded and sounded so loud that the coach (from over
100 yards away) thought it was a gun shot and had the little league players
lay on the ground for 10 minutes. Pretty realistic, huh? Well, the problem
is that you don't tell the bomb when to go off. The bomb goes off when it
damned well pleases (well actually when there's so much pressure in the
container.) So, you may have to do it a few times and try to get the same
amounts of tin foil and Works in the bottle to get an estmate of the time
it takes (usually greater than 5 minutes.)
Ingredients:
1 plastic two liter bottle (gets blown to shreds)
some amount of hydrochloric acid (Works toilet bowl cleaner)
some amount of tin foil
Directions:
Put the tin foil in the bottle. Then, pour the Works into the two liter and
get the cap on as quickly as possible. Don't be afraid, you have a little
while to run. As I said above, you will have to play around with the
amounts of tin foil and Works you use. Generally, don't fill the bottle
over 1/3 with the combination of both. Don't stand within 15 feet when it
goes off. I heard of someone blowing off thier hand by holding one of
these (there are some real dumbasses, aren't there?)

Liquid Nitrogen Bomb:
The Liquid Nitrogen bomb is simply a varient of the Works bomb. For those
that don't know, liquid nitrogen is that really cold shit (like 74 degrees
Kelvin.) You can get it at most Chemistry labs. The bomb explodes because
as the Liquid Nitrogen warms up, it gets bigger until there's enough
pressure to blow up the bottle. The Liquid Nitrogen bomb is probably the
coolest pressure bomb easily available.
Ingredients:
1 plastic two liter bottle
a little less than 2 liters of liquid nitrogen
Directions:
Put the liquid nitrogen in the bottle. Close the top real tight. Run like
hell. It should take about 5-15 minutes for the bomb to go off.

Dry Ice Bomb:
The Dry Ice bomb is yet another variation of the Works bomb.
Ingredients:
1 plastic two liter bottle
some dry ice
some water
Directions:
Put the dry ice and water into the bottle. Close the top really tight.
Run like hell. It should take a little while for the bomb to go off.

Molotov Cocktail:
The Molotov Cocktail is a long range gasoline delivery system. It also
makes a very nice fire where ever it hits. By the way, the people who
wrote the CyberPunk 2020 RPG game thought Molotovs were so cool, the
combat rules for using them are listed on page 111 in the CyberPunk 2020
rule book.
Ingredients:
1 glass bottle (MUST be glass)
1 rag (a tampon is better if you can get one)
1 lighter (or match)
some duck tape (the good kind)
some gas (enough to fill the bottle)
Directions:
Fill the glass bottle with the gasoline. Then, soak the rag (or tampon) in
gasoline. Fit the rag into the opening in the bottle. Tape the rag there
with the duck tape (that's why you need good duck tape.) After you have
assembled the cocktail, light the rag (or tampon), throw it, and run the
hell away. See, we told you it ruled.

This issue is dedicated to fun with lighters and other people's cars. Two of
the tricks, shower of sparks from nowhere and what to do with a left over
lighter casing are taken from Phrack issue #6. They have been modified
slightly. We would like to give credit to the Leftist for writing the
original article in Phrack.

Shower of sparks from nowhere:
This trick is done usually with an empty lighter. Disassemble the top,
being careful not to loose the flint, and the spring, which are under the
striker wheel. Throw away everything else, unless there is still some fluid
in the lighter, which can be used for some of the other things in this file.
Save the flint and spring.

Ok, now take the spring, and pull on the end a little, and stretch the
spring out a little longer than the flint. Next, take the flint, and kind
of wrap the end of the spring around it. It should look sort of like the
picture below. Next, the fun part. Take the spring, and hold it by the end
that doesn't have flint on it, and heat the flint till it glows. Don't
worry, the heat won't burn your fingers. Then, throw it flint first at
victim, pavement, or whatever.

BOOM Issue 10 - Part 3 - BOOM Introductions

Welcome back to Boom. After taking more than one month off, we have
finally decided to start up the presses once again. Since last May, many
things have changed. Gut's Shroud of Deception was shut down. Then, Black
Crow started up and shut down after less than a month. After Black Crow,
Watson started Center of Darkness. This board was pretty good, but his
parents ordered him to shut it down. Finally, Jimmy the Thief (handle:
Zeek, more about him later) started a board called the Viper's Den. This
pathetic piece of shit will hopefully be shut down by the State Police when
they put him in prison for a few months (more about that later too.) Now,
Gut and Yavo are thinking about putting up boards... oh well, Boom can
probably survive without a local home board for a while.
In addition, two of the more devoted readers of Boom, Sophere and
Bladesinger have left for college. We hope they are able to get on the
Boom mailing list wherever they are and continue to provide suggestions and
comments as they did with issues 1-9.
A lot has happened to the authors too. In late May of last year Shadows
and Crimson Jihad almost killed themselves with Chlorine gas (it was an
accident, really!) But that incident did allow us to write a very simple
recipe for making one of the deadlier gases known to man, which will appear
later in this issue. But most importantly, Crimson Jihad, Watson, Jimmy the
thief, and Braindead were arrested for vandalism and larceny (the latter
charge is completely undeserved, but they got charged with it anyway.) This
may bring about the sale of Watson's computer and most probably the shutting
down of Jimmy the thief's piece of shit board.
A lot has happened in the real world too, but I figure most of you
readers either already know about it or don't give a damn at all, so I won't
spend too much time on that area. But there is one interesting thing. The
Oklahoma City bombing... NOT done by an Arabian. This came to a surprise
to me too, but it figures, in this time of uncertainty it is completely
natural to have a country's own citizens fighting against it. But, this is
also very bad. Our citizens are wealthier and more educated than most other
countries. This makes their attacks all the more harmful. Other people
realize how bad this is too. This even affected Erik Bloodaxe, editor of
Phrack, one of the most respected hackers of our time. Just in case you
didn't catch it here is what he said in Phrack 47:

"The last controversy surrounding this issue came at the last possible
second. In the several years that I've been publishing Phrack, we've
received all kinds of files, but remarkably, I've never really received any
"anarchy" files. However, in the last several months I've been inundated
with files about making bombs. There were so many coming in, that I really
couldn't ignore them. Some of them were pretty damn good too. So I
figured, I'll put several of them together and put in ONE anarchy file as a
kind of tongue-in-cheek look at the kind of stupidity we have floating
around in the underground.

Then the bomb went off in Oklahoma City.

Then Unabomb struck again.

Then the politicos of the world started spouting off about giving the
federal law enforcement types carte blanche to surveil and detain people who
do things that they don't like, especially with regards to terrorist like
activities.

Normally, I don't really give a damn about possible repercussions of my
writing, but given the political climate of the day, I decided that it would
really be stupid for me to print these files. I mean, one was REAL good,
and obviously written by someone who learned "British" English in a non
English-speaking country. I mentioned my concerns to an individual who
works with the FBI's counter-terrorism group, and was told that printing the
file would probably be the stupidest thing I could possibly do in my entire
life...PERIOD.

So the file is nixed. I really feel like I'm betraying myself and my
readership, for giving into the underlying political climate of the day, and
falling prey to a kind of prior-restraint, but I really don't need the
grief. I'm on enough lists as it is, so I really don't need to be the focus
of some multi-jurisdictional task-force on terrorism because I published a
file on how to make a pipe bomb over the Internet. (Hell, I'm now even on
the Customs Department's list of ne'er-do-wells since someone from Europe
thought it would be funny to send me some kind of bestiality magazine which
was seized. Thanks a lot, asshole, whoever you are.) Obviously, the media
think the net is some kind of hotbed for bomb-making info, so I'm usually
the first to satisfy their most warped yellow-journalistic fantasies, but
not this time.

I really hate what I see coming because of the mess in Oklahoma. If the
American government does what I suspect, we will be seeing a major
conservative backlash, a resurgence of Hoover-esque power in the FBI,
constitutional amendments to limit free speech, and a bad time for everyone,
especially known-dissenters and suspicious folk like yours truly. Be very
afraid. I am."

Phrack giving in to the authorities... my what a different world we live
in than just a few years ago when Erik would have most probably have just
said "fuck it" and published the anarchy shit anyway. Well, I guess
everyone will just have to get a new favorite h/p/a mag. Oh, and thanks for
the "kind of stupidity we have floating around in the underground" crack.
Let me think... you clear your articles through the F.B.I. That clearly
makes you part of the underground. Right Erik?

Boom Issue 10 - Part 4 - BOOM!

C-4:

Materials:
heat source
battery hydrometer
large Pyrex or steel enameled container
potassium chloride

Instructions:
Take one gallon of bleach and place it in the container and begin heating
it. While this solution heats, weigh out 63 grams potassium chloride, add
this to the heated bleach. Bring this solution to a boil and boil until
white fumes appear. When checked with a hydrometer the reading is 1.3, (if
battery hydrometer is used, it should read FULL charge.) When the reading is
1.3 take the solution and let it cool in the refrigerator until it is
between room temperature and 0 degrees Celsius. Take out the crystals that
have formed and save them. Boil this solution again and cool as before.
Filter and save the crystals. Take these crystals that have been saved and
mix them with distilled water in the following proportions: 56 grams per 100
milliliters distilled water. Heat this solution until it boils and allow to
cool. Filter the solution and save the crystals the form upon cooling. The
crystals should be relatively pure potassium chlorate. Powder these to the
consistency of face powder and heat gently to drive off all moisture. Melt
five parts Vaseline and five parts wax. Dissolve this in white gasoline,
(camp stove gasoline), and pour this liquid on 90 parts potassium chlorate,
(the powdered crystals from above), in a plastic bowl. Knead this liquid
into the potassium chlorate until completely mixed. Allow all the gasoline
to evaporate. Place this explosive in a cool dry place. Avoid friction,
sulfur, and phosphorus compounds.

AND I MEAN AAVVOOIIDD SULFUR


Tennis Ball Bomb:

Materials:
A Tennis Ball
A Knife
Several boxes of wooden matches (not safety matches)
Hockey Tape
Gunpowder
A Sparkler
Flint

Directions:
1) Cut a small round hole in the ball with the knife 2) Take the flint
(the kind used for flip-top lighters) and crush it into a powder 3) Separate
the wire handle from the sparkler and grind it up 4) Mix the flint and
sparkler powder together with gunpowder 5) Pour the mixture into the tennis
ball 6) Cut off the match-heads and pack the ball with them until you can't
fit anymore into it. 7) Use the tape to cover the hole completely 8) The
grenade will explode on contact with any solid surface, producing large
amounts of flame and flaming projectiles. 9) [optional] For a delayed blast
grenade, insert a dry fuse into the hole before you tape it up.

These babies are easy to make, light weight, concealable and do plenty
of damage for their size....in general, a kick-ass weapon. You can make
dozens of them for hours of enjoyment.

Chlorine Gas:
Materials:
Works(TM) Toilet Bowl Cleaner
Chlorine Bleach

Directions:
You ever noticed how Works says "Do NOT mix with chlorine bleach"? Well,
to make chlorine gas you simply do that... mix the chlorine bleach and
Works. We're not exactly sure of the ideal ratio, we never did much testing
after it almost killed us. Be careful with this shit, in ideal (or, wait,
that wouldn't be ideal would it?) conditions two good breaths will kill you
(or anyone else).

Boom Issue 10 - Part 5 - BOOM Red Boxes

Ah, red boxing, the art of getting free payphone calls by tricking the
machine into thinking you inserted money (while you actually just played a
tone). Most people, especially those dumbasses like Norm, completely ignore
this box as bullshit, like most everything you read in the h/p/a world (i.e.
the infamous Blotto box). Many of the others, who would like to try red
boxing, are discouraged by the illusion that it is hard (and the lack of
clear instructions, oh and the lack of balls). But, as we will show you...
it's easy, it's effective, and pisses the TelCo company off real good.
Boom has learned from many other sources (you see, we have no first hand
experience how to do this [we've never done it ourselves {you see, we don't
have payphones here officer}]). "Red box? My shoes came in an orange box.
I have no idea of what you speak. I am colorblind... I wouldn't know a red
box from a blue box officer. I don't use payphones, they cost too much.
Besides, I've never really figured out which end the quarter goes in, and I
don't know Morse code, so it wouldn't be of much use anyway."
OK enough bullshit.. lets go through Boom's step by step red boxing
tutorial. What is red boxing? Well red boxing is simply taking a li'l box,
walking up to a pay phone, and playing pre-recorded (or generated) tones.
These tones, which are the same ones the pay phone makes when a quarter is
inserted, are accepted by the pay phone as quarters. Simple huh? In fact,
to no be able to do it you have to live in New York and be named Garry (read
on).
Here is the 5 step process in red boxing:

1. Go to Wal-Mart, K-Mart, etc. and purchase a digital recordable memo
recorder. This should run you about $20. If you are unable to swing that,
a Hallmark recordable greeting card will also work, these are about $5.

2. Record the tones. Go to a pay phone with an extra loud speaker (or use
Blue Beep), and record the tones as you drop quarters in (of course, press
the coin return lever so you get these back.)

3. Dial the operator. Say "fuck you." Or wait, don't do that quite yet
(save it for when they figure out what you're doing.) Ask for information,
and remember to say "please." Give information the number that you wish to
call. Wait for the pre-recorded message saying "please deposit x cents to
be connected to the number."

4. After the message has been played, hold the speaker of your red box up
to the microphone of the phone and play your tones. Do not hold the speaker
to close to the microphone as this sometimes causes distortion and will
cause you to be routed to the operator. If this happens, you can then say
fuck you.

5. Talk to the person you are calling.

I hope you enjoy this free calling card. If you can't do it, then you
don't deserve the free calling.

Boom issue 10 - Part 6 - BOOM Arrested?

What happens when your rip off a pop machine? Give up? A loser that you
took along with you narcs on everybody and leaves key evidence behind, or at
least that's the way it went with me. Crimson Jihad and I [Watson] decided
to try to rip off a pop machine with the 'salting` technique. Crimson had
read about it in the paper a while back, and we wanted to try it for
ourselves. Some friends of ours were in town (people from a local BBS we
hadn't met before) so we took them along. The one 20 year old, who we will
refer to as dumbass informed Crimson and I that he had successfully done it
before so we decided to put him in charge and watch. When we arrived at the
pop machine (Notice I'm not saying Soda Machine because I'm not a freak from
Michigan' Upper Peninsula, or the dumb ass cop who I had to make a statement
to.) we tried to just pour the salt water (or salt solution as the cops so
brilliantly put it) into the machine but going straight from the mouth of
the 20 oz container we were using, into the coin slot appeared to work like
shit. Dumbass had the idea to funnel the salt water into the machine. Ok
good idea, but who's got a funnel ? Crimson has a funnel, ok so it's a
glossy CPR card that he folded into a funnel. Dumbass stuck it into the
coin slot and poured the salt water in. Wow... after about 30 mins believe
it or not.... NOTHING happened... [wow big surprise] We decided to give up
after receiving 35 million new mosquito bites. After taking Dumbass and his
friend back to the place we met them we (Crimson and I) drove around and
went home) [No he went home and I went home, not the same house don't be a
pervert] The next day, while I was enjoying the day watching a movie with a
female friend of mine
