CODE THIEF REVISION 3.5 (DELUXE)
DETAILING NEW FEATURES SINCE CODE THIEF REVISION 3.0
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Deluxe edition of Code Thief. This is Code Thief
Revision 3.5, the next logical upgrade from Code Thief 3.0. This
documentation assumes that you have Code Thief 3.0 and wish only to go
over the new features in Code Thief Deluxe 3.5. If Code Thief is
TOTALLY new to you, read THIEF35.DOC for more detailed information on
Code Thief.
UPGRADES TO HACK LONG DISTANCE SERVICES
After selecting the start and stop times, and weather you wish to
quit to DOS after the specified stop time, you are presented with
another screen before hacking. On this screen you will be asked if you
wish to stop hacking after Code Thief finds a number of valid codes.
If you answer yes, you are prompted to enter the number of valid codes
to stop after. Then you are prompted as to weather Code Thief should
quit to DOS after finding this number of valid codes. If you have quit
to DOS for both the TIME and the NUMBER OF CODES, whatever happens
first will cause Thief Deluxe to quit to DOS.
Now you are asked the number of seconds to pause between attempts.
This is a feature to throw off the long distance carrier's hack-
detection software. If you have a lot of flagged extenders PLUS a
delay time between attempts, it greatly decreases the LD company's
software from detecting hacking. It is best to hack during the
DAYTIME, and a delay will help guarantee that a valid customer calls in
and uses their code so that your hacks will be more spread apart. A
lot of flagged extenders also decreases the possibility of being
detected even MORE. Face it, more people are being busted every day.
Use Code Thief Deluxe with all of the Code Thief capabilities to
greatly heighten your safety. Note that if you hit RETURN for delay
time, Code Thief Deluxe will not pause between attempts (also if you
hit "0" <return> which is the same thing).
When Code Thief is DELAYING, you will be shown the countdown. If
you wish to stop the delay and just go on to the next attempt, hit the
[SPACEBAR]. Hitting ESCape during the countdown will quit hacking
mode.
UPGRADES TO EDIT EXTENDER CONFIGURATIONS
Now accepted in the code template is [#] and [*]. This is for
hacking PBX's that need these.
UPGRADES TO DELUXE EXCHANGE SCANNER
The Code Thief Deluxe exchange scanner is a multiple exchange
full-screen exchange scanner. Also, you can now scan the 1-800 area.
When you hit [F] from the main menu, you are taken into the exchange
editor. If no exchanges exist, a dummy first record will be created.
Hit [R] to Replace the first record and enter the exchange, starting
number and ending number of the exchange. Now, you can add exchanges
by hitting [A], delete exchanges by hitting [D], flag and unflag
exchanges by hitting [+] and [-] respectively, as well as use the left
and right arrow keys on the numeric keypad to move around in the file.
Also note that you can enter the exchange record number to go
automatically to that exchange record, just like in the extender
configuration section. The [SPACEBAR] toggles weather the exchange is
in the 1-800 area or not.
If you wish to not scan exchanges, just hit [Q] to quit to the
main menu. But to begin scanning exchanges, just hit [G] from here.
Note that to scan, at least one exchange must be flagged. If no
exchanges are flagged Code Thief will tell you. You are also asked for
the modem timeout (in seconds).
During scanning, if the ending number for an exchange is reached,
Code Thief will stop scanning that exchange by unflagging it. When all
of the flagged exchanges become unflagged, Code Thief will quit
exchange scanning. Of course you can also quit by hitting ESCape, and
the last number dialed in all exchanges will be saved in your exchange
configurations. Then all you have to do is hit [F] then [G] from the
main menu to pick up from where you left off.
UPGRADES TO SET MODEM PARAMATERS/DEFAULTS;MODEM SPECIFICS
Hang up mode has been changed. Code Thief now NEEDS to drop DTR
to hang up, so set your modem DIP switches accordingly. The option has
been replaced by LOCAL DIALING. If you only have pulse dialing
services (not touchtone) then set this option to PULSE. Otherwise,
TONE is the default. Of course when Code Thief DOES connect to the
extender, TONE will be used for the remainder of the hack. This should
go without saying.
MODEM INPUT/OUTPUT WINDOWS
All I/O to the modem is now monitored. Also, Code Thief Deluxe
should work with more modems. During hacking or scanning you will see
the I/O windows, along with a timer on the top of the screen. The
first window is INPUT from the modem, the second window is OUTPUT to
the modem. Code Thief will now re-send commands if errors occur, try
commands again if they elicit no response, recover from modem screw
ups, and generally be more well behaved. For instance, ATX4 is right
as a user string for my COM3: modem, but creates an ERROR for my COM2:
modem. If I use a user string of ATX4 for my COM2: modem, Code Thief
will recognize it and keep sending ATX4 a number of times to my COM2:
modem. Of course it keeps getting errors. Then after about 5 retries
Code Thief will abort hacking. Now I can look at the modem
configuration and say to myself: Ah! I need to get rid of this user
string. Also note that when waiting for a carrier if no modem result
code is received in the time specified as TIMEOUT for your extender
(can be edited using the extender editor) Code Thief Deluxe will know
and move on. Code Thief Deluxe uses your PC's clock to keep track of
seconds that have elapsed.
MULTIPLE TARGET CONVERSION UTILITIES / TYMFIX.COM
Consult CONVERT.DOC, which has been updated and includes
information on TYMFIX.COM and its use. Convert version 2.0 is included
in your Code Thief Deluxe ZIPfile.
SUMMARY
Well, that's about it for the new features in Code Thief Deluxe.
The major changes have been incorporated in the modem I/O which took a
bit of programming, but are easy to document on paper. Also, Code
Thief has grown quite complex for a hacker type program. In creating
Code Thief I have attempted to take most of the popular features from
other Code Hackers, whatever language they were written in, and
incorporate them into the "wish-list" for Code Thief and Code Thief
Deluxe. I would also like to thank the many people who offered
suggestions as to additions and modifications.
If you are just getting Code Thief Deluxe when it's new, upload it
everywhere so people can move on up to Code Thief Deluxe Revision 3.5.
Besides, it will get you upload points and a better upload ratio.
Everyone benefits.
