- 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.
