Ballade von Bin Laden & Kim Schmitz


-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-

Zehn Millionen Thaler Kopfgeld für den noch schröcklichern Bin
Laden hat Kim Schmitz Dero höchstselbst schröcklicher
Super=Hacker ausgesetzt.

Flugs ward ein Sudanesisch Bankhaus als Hausbank des
schröcklichen Bin Ladens erkannt, gehackt, gecrackt & die
erbeuteten Desinformationen kamen dem Föderalen Bureau für
Investigationen im fernen Amerika zugut.

Zu Hülf ihr Leut, der schröckliche Kim Schmitz hat wieder
zugeschlagen - hülf Hümmel, Küm & Schmütz!

By Ned Stafford, Newsbytes MUNICH, GERMANY, 27 Sep 2001,
2:46 PM CST

A group of U.K.-based hackers has cracked computers at the
AlShamal Islamic Bank in Sudan and collected data on the
accounts of the Al Qaeda terrorist organization and its leader
Osama bin Laden, Kim Schmitz, a flamboyant German
hacker/businessman, has claimed. Schmitz, who has offered a $10
million reward for the capture of bin Laden, told Newsbytes that the
information has been turned over to the FBI.

[...]

Schmitz, 27, a former teen hacking prodigy who spent time behind
bars before starting a successful data security business, has been
accused of being press hungry. He says his recent strong anti-
terrorism pronouncements are not a PR prank, but stem from his
strong desire to wipe out terrorism. He says he has received death
threats from the Middle East.

The bank Schmitz claimed was hacked was mentioned
Wednesday by Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich. during a Senate Banking
Committee hearing. According to CNN, Levin referred to a 1996
State Department report that said bin Laden had provided the
AlShamal Islamic Bank with $50 million in start-up capital.

Schmitz told Newsbytes that he could not provide details about
what hackers found in AlShamal Islamic Bank's computers or
about the hackers themselves.

Nonetheless, he provided Newsbytes with the following outline of
what he says happened.

Last week, Schmitz, who lives in Munich, posted letters on his
Web site rallying politicians to the cause of fighting terrorism and
offering his hacking expertise.

"I received plenty of e-mails from hackers around the world offering
their services," he said.

Schmitz founded a group that numbers around 23 hackers called
"Young Intelligent Hackers Against Terror." He calls the group
YIHAT, which is similar to the word Jihad, which is Arabic for Holy
War.

Schmitz said that last Friday, a Sudanese banker sent the group
an e-mail after reading about the $10 million reward, informing the
group that Al Qaeda and bin Laden have accounts at AlShamal
Islamic Bank.

A team of U.K.-based hackers sprang into action, and hacked the
nameserver of AlShamal Islamic Bank, he said. They were able to
gain access to the bank's intranet by exploiting a "checkpoint
firewall 1 vulnerability," he explained.

After bypassing the firewall, the hackers achieved "superuser"
status on the server, and "sniffed" eight valid user IDs, and then
were able to collect information on accounts of Al Qaeda and bin
Laden.

"This information was sent to the authorities in the USA," Schmitz said.

Schmitz sent the following e-mail to the Webmaster at the AlShamal Islamic Bank:

"dear webmaster of sudans shamalbank,

"your bank has been hacked. information regarding Al Qaeda's and bin Ladens accounts have been captured. all information reached the US authorities. thanks for using products from checkpoint (firewall1).

"have a nice day, Kim "Kimble" Schmitz, Founder of "Young Intelligent Hackers Against Terror" YIHAT"

When asked which authorities received the information from the hackers, Schmitz said: "FBI."
[...]

"I am the spokesperson of the group," he said. "They don't want to be involved with the press. What they do is illegal, unless we find a government that legalizes our activities."

And somewhat mysteriously, he added: "If I would deliver details about the hacks, I could get arrested. I am not hacking myself, because that is illegal. I must keep myself out of the details to make sure that I am still
able to offer them the communication platform they need to fight as united hackers of the world against terror."
