- Social Engineering in simple terms is the method of getting information about
- something you shouldn't know about. There are 3 different types of Social
- Engineering. Phone Work, Direct Contact and Mail. Phone Work is by far the
- easiest method to use as you can always hang up if you stuff things up.
- The first thing you must remeber when Social Engineering is what your aim is
- going to be. Always slowy build up your information. I know of a method of
- Engineering in which you can get someones NUI ,mind you alot of background work
- is required for this type of con and you can't guarantee results. Always have
- escape routes for your plans. Its no use going for a NUI if you don't know how
- to get one legit and whats involved in getting the real thing. You should
- become familar with your target. Ring up, write to or go in person and ask them
- for information about what they do.
- I wanted to know how to use a PABX so i rang up a company and asked them for
- background info on there PABX system they sent me a heap of leaflets explaining
- how to use there system. Needless to say i removed the STD and ISD bars on my
- works PABX system. All you really need is the Yellow Pages and look what you
- want up. Here are some examples of Social Engineering below. Hopefully you will
- get the concept and use it for your own gain.

- Now what type of info can you get out of the RTA with out hacking into there
- computer system? Well you can find out who the person is via the number plate
- of his or her car. If for some reason you want to know who someone is and you
- have there number plate serial. Ring up Customer Service and say the following.
- CS=Customer Service SE=Social Engineer
- CS: "RTA Customer Service Enquiries."
- SE: "Yes, hello i wonder if you can help me? I had a slight accident today and
- i ran into a car in a shopping center. I didn't leave a note on the car i
- hit and i'm feeling a bit guilty about it."
- CS: "How can i help Sir?"
- SE: "Well i wrote down the number plate of the car i hit and i was wondering if
- you could give me the name of the person who's car i hit?"
- CS: "What was the number plate Sir?"
- SE: "ABC123"
- It's that easy! She should tell you everything about the owner of the car. Just
- think you had a famous person's number plate. They arrive at some publicity
- thing in there car copy the plate down and find out there phone number, where
- they live, there real name etc etc. It could be useful some day.

- Finding out who own's that number?
- You have somebodies number but don't know anything else about them, say for
- example a computer user using an alias. Well do the following.
- TO=Telecom Office SE=Social Engineer
- SE: "Hello can you help me? My mother just got married and had the number put
- under my step-fathers name, we just got the phone bill and it's still
- has my mother's old name. Can you tell me under what name the computer has
- this number listed as? The number is 1234567."
- or
- "I've had my name changed by depol."
- or
- "The business name was changed."
- TO: "What's the name on the bill say Sir?" (Tricky Question!)
- Make something up!
- SE: "I am ringing up because the name on the bill is wrong!"
-
- Finding out what numbers are called from that phone number?
- Well once you have done the above and you know all about the person and you
- have waited a few weeks. Ring up again and ask for a "Statement of Charges" for
- both IDD calls and Local calls and have it sent to your P.O Box. Mind you this
- is very illegal so don't get caught. This is a good tool for finding out what
- systems the elite are hacking into or what numbers phreakers are using. This
- method was done to me, (wasn't it Ionic!) and i've done it to a few people
- myself (hahaha) there is a method of protecting yourself which i now have
- placed on my phone number but i'm not giving that info out. There is also a
- method of removing the above protection which is harder but i know of that as
- well and only elite phreakers who know the Telecom system backward could get my
- above protection off. They know who they are!
