                       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.

    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.
