- [About Master Hack]
-
- This is the first official release of Master Hack and the first hacker
- (at least that I know of) that does support high speed modems. Master Hack
- is basically a hacker that I wrote (because I wasn't satisfied with other
- hackers) in Turbo Pascal and just modified the source when I wanted to hack
- something new. I decided to add an interface to Master Hack and release it
- after I saw that other people were sick of out dated hackers. I would like
- to note that I would love to hear any suggestions or comments about what
- to add into Master Hack or bugs that were found in Master Hack. If anybody
- needs to get hold of me, contact me at Fungus Land or The Lexicon because
- these are the only boards that I try to frequent.
-
-
- [Using Master Hack]
-
- When loading Master Hack you will be asked to configure your modem (to
- find more information on this check CONFIGURING THE MODEM) and then you will
- be in Master Hack's main menu. The main menu consists of a list of
- directories on the left and a list of extender files on the right. You will
- start by being able to go thru the directories to find an extender file.
- To move around in the main menu simply use the arrow keys to move the hilite
- bar back and forth and use:
-
- ENTER - When hilite bar is over directories this will switch to the
- directory selected. If over an extender file then it will
- automatically start hacking.
-
- F1 - When the hilite bar is over the directories then you will have
- to specify a name for an extender file to create. When over
- an extender file it will allow you to edit the extender.
-
- F2 - This option will allow you to reconfigure your modem.
-
- ESC - This will quit Master Hack.
-
-
- [Creating/Editing an Extender]
-
- When the hi-lite bar is positioned over the directories type F1. Then
- you will be prompted to enter a filename. The filename that you have entered
- will automatically have an extension of EXT, even if you have specified
- otherwise.
-
- Phone Number - This is the dialup you are hacking.
-
- Target Number - This stores the number that you will be hacking to.
- NOTE: When Master Hack detects a busy signal it goes on
- to the next code. It does not write it to the
- code file. I suggest hacking to a service, such
- as Telenet (PC Pursuit), instead of hacking to a
- Bulletin Board System.
-
- Code Length - Here you will put the length of the code.
-
- Delay Before - This is the delay before the code is dialed.
-
- Delay After - This is the period of time for Master Hack to wait after
- the code and target have been dialed.
-
- NOTE: Delay Before and Delay After are both in seconds.
-
- Code File - This is the file that all working codes will be written
- to. I suggest using an extension of COD on the filename
- because of plans I have for further version of
- Master Hack.
-
- NOTE: The Code File is stored as an ASCII file so you
- should be able to view it from DOS.
-
-
- [Configuring your Modem]
-
- Here you will select your modem parameters. In this version of Master
- Hack you will not be able to send your own init. string because I don't think
- that it is necessary for the user to have total control over their modem when
- hacking. Speed will be set at 45, which I consider to be about average. If
- their is enough people that suggest an option that would allow the user to
- send a specific init. string then I might add it in.
-
- NOTE: To use Master Hack from anywhere on the Hard Drive, put MASTER.CFG
- in a directory that is in your path.
-
- [Your Hacking]
-
- Ok, know your hacking... From this menu you will be able to see the
- current status of the modem, how many tries you have done, how many valid
- codes have been found, and the last valid code that was hacked. The only
- keys you have here is:
-
- Space - This will skip on to the next code.
-
- Esc - This will stop hacking and put you back to the main menu.
-
- NOTE: I would at this time like to note once again that when Master Hack
- detects a BUSY SIGNAL it will go on to the next code. It does not
- write it to the file.
-
-
- Well, that is about all that I can think of so, if you need to get hold
- of me call any of the two boards listed above and I hope your hacks are as
- successful as mine...
