Quick Tips
~~~~~~~~~~
This month's Quick Tips come from Hagbard Celine, a longtime DD user who
answers some of the most commonly asked hack/phreak questions.
.........
Okay, Some of you know me, some of you remeber me, but I'm back. To answer
some questions that were posted:
ANI: 800.775.5513- Telescan. It's a private corperation that rents out VMBs
to Private dicks, etc, and when a person calls the number, it will let them
leave a message, and their phone number will follow thereafter. This is their
order line, that simply offers a demo by reading it back to you.
RED Boxing: Tonedialers:Call 18005434330. MCM electronics. They sell
tonedialers identical to the Radio Hack versions for 14.95 with 10 mem
redial, and 9.95 for tone dialers with no memory. Radio Hack does have
plans for new ones, but don't fuck with them.
Fortress Phones: Bullet proof my ass. There is a little trend here in
gangland of shotgunning payphones. Lot of noise, but definatly worth it. If
you don't belive me, I have pictures of a phone blown to hell, and a few
pieces of a GTE phone.
Trashing: Who ever wanted to get a bunch of people for trashing. Christ,
I find it is best to go with three people: two to go and grab 4-8 bags, and
one to drive. I have personally gone alone, and just sat around for 45
minutes scrounging.
Line Mans Handset: Most of the GTE handsets contain the AMCD buttons of a
clear box. So far these tones are not used for anything, but they are present
on 16 point DTMF encoders. Also, some 14.4s have them inside. Just try:
ATDT AMCD to see if yours has it. So far it is mostly only used for Milittary
lines, and internal TelCo ops.
UNIX: Someone wanted to know about UNIX defaults, and what to try, here is
a list of defaults:
ROOT/ROOT
ADMIN/ADMIN
ADMIN/SYSADMIN
UNIX/UNIX
UUCP/UUCP
NUUCP/NUUCP
UUCPN/UUCPN
RJE/RJE
GUEST/GUEST
DEMO/DEMO
DAEMON/DAEMON
SYSBIB/SYSBIN
NETWORK/NETWORK
SYSTEM/OPERATOR
SYSTEM/SYSTEM
Those are in the format of USERNAME/PASSWORD.
SYS-75s: Some one wanted to know about sys-75 back doors. Not bloody likely.
However, since I think no one vollenteerd the info, you can usually go in
under BROWSE/LOOKER. This account cannot write, but you can look around, and
get a general feel for the system. Luckily, under BROWSE, there is no logging,
so you need not worry. Also, a particular problem with SYS-75s, is that they
are ALL owned by at&t. Not operated by, just owned. So if you create a PBX
via a system 75, and call your friends, they will investigate. I got the call
once or twice, but played dumb. There are other defaults thatn Browse/Looker,
but I don't like giving them out. You can find them almost anywhere.
COCOTS: Neat trick, after someone calls you with a COCOT, right before they
hang up, throw a recording of the Disconnected number message at them, They
will be disconnected, and get their money back. This only works on a few
brands of cocot, however.

AT&T Air Force Patrols (Or Big Brother is Watching you)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Every day, a fleet of airplanes informally called the AT&T Air Force
patrols 40,000 miles of cable routes, as well as stretches of continental
shelf where trans-oceanic cables come withing a few hundred feet of the
surface. A shrimp boat spotted working near a cable will receive a flurry
of message tubes from above, warning the skipper away."
(Smithsonian, February 1992)
