THC-SCAN v1.00 *Final*
(c) 1996 by van Hauser/THC of LORE BBS
H I S T O R Y
* New Feature - Removed Feature # Bug Fix
+ New File ! Important Note ? Check it
###### Before we get to the history, read what will be in v1.1 :
* Highly optimized code!
* New commandline parameters for THC-SCAN :
/P:<path> directory to create and write all DAT & LOGs to
/LCD To see anything on a laptop monitor ;-)
* enhance the COMMENT function to take a longer input up to 255 chars
* Selective Show_Elapsed_Time function for every ID
# Better OS/2, Desqview, Windows time slicing
# All found bugs fixed ;-)
# And some minor enhancements!
+ A c00l Intro about THC-SCAN & LOGIN HACKER, by Plasmoid
+ maybe ThcMap, a program similar to ToneMap but with more features.
Graphical interface to edit/examine the DATfiles, by The Analyst
!!! If you want to participate in enhancing this cool tool then call
!!! Arrested Development (Holland) and become a THC betatester, (or
!!! email to van Hauser to send you the new betas via email)
****** v1.00 (01-May-96) ! Public *FINAL* Release !
! No more bugs found !
! Thanks especially to The Analyst, Wilkins and Plasmoid for support !
! Thanks too to Scavenger and Scythe !
****** v0.9f (18-Apr-96) CLOSED GAMMA - PRE-FINAL
# Tried to fix the Fossil Hangup Procedure that it works with every modem.
# Valid DialPrefix checked in Dial-Mode (ALT-D)
# Fixed bug with the locked up ports with 14400+ baud on some computers
+ TS-CFG rewritten from scratch. Supports now VGA and LCD Screens.
Better help, easier to use. Thanks to Scythe for the basic routines.
* DOC files partially rewritten and error checked. Thanks to The Analyst!
****** v0.9e (29-Mar-96) PRIVAT GAMMA - PRE-FINAL
* Pressing Backspace in textfile scan mode does now redial the number
before the current one. You may do this until the beginning of the
textfile. (Suggested by The Analyst & Wilkins)
* ELAPSED_TIME is now written into all logfiles (if option is activated)
* When scanning sequentiell the number to START the scan with will be
read in from the first Range (-R<from>-<to>) specification.
# Fixed bug when redialing a number while textfile scanning
# Removed accidently a line which made Fossil usage impossible. Fixed.
# Some Cosmetics
****** v0.9d (26-Mar-96) CLOSED GAMMA - PRE-FINAL
* Now a .DAT is created when scanning numbers from a textfile to continue
an aborted textfile scan at the same number. (Idea of Wilkins)
# If you select only 1 number in the Redial_Last_20_Numbers (Backspace)
Menu, this number will be redialed immediately now.
Otherwise you must wait until they'll be dialed again randomly.
# Enhanced/Fixed Modem Hangup with the Fossil Driver
# Fixed a bug in Save_Comment when the line was full and a character was
added somewhere other than at the end.
* If you specify only a X as ID for DAT-STAT.EXE a list like THC-SCAN.LOG
will be written into the output file.
# Enhanced the DAT-MERG.EXE mask detection routine.
****** v0.9c (16-Mar-96) PRIVAT CEBIT '96 RELEASE - PRE-FINAL
! Many, many new features as you can see below. Test, test, test & test.
Report any bugs so that the Final v1.0 Release will be bug free ! ;-)
! Be careful while executing external programs if no fossil driver is used
* Dialing via an external program possible now (wish of Scavenger to use
his BB dialer to dial+break and this scanner to scan+identify ;-)
* Delay Dial added. Change the dialspeed for every phone number dialed
and/or dial every digit of the number with a random delay.
Important for germany now to prevent scan detection. (Read THC-MAG1.ZIP)
* New Option in THC-SCAN : print the elapsed time for every number in the
Main Logfile. (option is in TS-CFG) (Idea of Tron X & The Analyst)
* Auto-Countries with ALT- 6 to 9 ... if in ON Mode, every number gets
automatically this country flag. (The Analyst's Idea)
* P for Pause renamed to Extented Pause with ALT-P. Fast Pause is now P
which does a hangup and waits for a key to redial. (The Analyst's wish)
* AutoDatSave before Execution of any program (Jump2Dos, F-Keys etc.)
* On Modem Timeout (NO CARRIER) while in any of the menus, you'll get an
pop-up window asking you how to handle this result (redial, carrier etc.)
* Debug switch -& writes now to DEBUG.LOG instead of MODEM.LOG
* Wait_Between_Modem_Commands added into TS-CFG (for BAD modems like CREATIX)
# Valid DialPrefix checked in Manual mode
# Now you won't even unprotect the .EXE files with INTRUDER ... ;-)
# Some cosmetics & some small fixes.
+ Added NETSCAN.BAT - a batchfile for guys scanning with 3+ modems at once
+ Added PROBLEMS.FAQ - Common problems and their solution with THC-SCAN
+ Added KEYBOARD.DOC - Short table of the most common online keys
+ Added X00-202.ZIP - X00 Fossil Driver
****** v0.9b (03-Mar-96) CLOSED BETA
* FOSSIL support included! Please test this! Check out the necessary
options in TS-CFG !
? Control-Break enabled to terminate THC-SCAN.EXE if somehow the fossil
support should lock up. Should never happen ;-) For this version only.
# When scanning through an modem dialout pressing ALT-H while in terminal
mode disconnected the line YOUR-MODEM»»»DIALOUT-MODEM instead of
DIALOUT-MODEM»»»HACKED-CARRIER. Fixed. (Reported by myself ;-)
# Dialing Numbers from a textfile possible again. Bug was introduced
in v0.8b (Reported by Wilkins)
# Small bug fixed with /W:<number> option identification (Rep. by Scythe)
****** v0.9a (20-Feb-96) CLOSED BETA
* Optimized Desqview/Windows/OS/2 Support. Custom Optimization now
possible with assigning a number of timeslices to give away.
Expanded Syntax for /W : Either /W as before to set timeslice
to 36 (standard) or /W:75 to set timeslices to 75 f.e.
* After Dialing a number in Manual/Autonom Mode (or pressed M online)
You may change the ID to VMB/Tone/Manual/Custum1-3/UnChanged/UnDialed ...
if VMB or Tone is selected it will be saved as Vmb/Tone+Manual (see below)
* VMB & Tone manually tried are now implemented into DAT File.
See DATFILE.DOC for ID Codes. THC-SCAN Utilies updated for the new IDs.
* <DEL> Pressed online resets the current number to UnDialed
* O Pressed online set the current number to (normal) vOice
(V is already for VMB) ... so you don't need to specify every silly Voice
manual as "Yelling Asshole" ID
* Online Help (Press "?") expanded to the new keys.
+ File EXAMPLES.ZIP added. includes 3 good .CFG Files
****** v0.9ß (15-Feb-96) *PUBLIC* BETA
* Commandline Switch /W for betatesting purpose added.
Does an autodetect for Windows/Desqview/OS/2 and does a time slicing.
* Commandline Switch /= added. Does automatically blank the screen.
For remote & timestarting scannings. (Idea of Nethack)
* When finding a Tone, you'll hear a beep now (Idea of Echo 0ff)
# RuntimeError eleminated when continued a scan with Sequentiell Dialing
# Fixed a serious bug in the Dat file reading procedure if the DAT file
existed. Bug was introduced in v0.8b so impact only on betatesters.
# Desqview support seems to be fixed.
# fixed Filename Display in TS-CFG when file was not in the same directory
! If you aren't a THC Betatester read the history from 0.8c, 8b and 8a too!
There are MANY new things!
****** v0.8c (07-Feb-96) CLOSED BETA
* Scanning through an Modem Outdial is temporarily included.
Option is "-O" to activate. Define Target Flee Char in TS-CFG first.
Read Documentation for full information.
* ALT-A Alarm Key now available. Loads THC-SCAN.BIN (4000 bytes) to screen.
Modem Hangsup automatically in Scan Mode, waits in Hack Mode.
# New ALT-Keys added into Online Help Display
# Optimized Dialmask verification with old DAT files
# Dialmask usage from Datfile could only be used when in Carrier Scan Mode
# 3 Bugs killed in the TS-CFG Base Adress calculation. (Reported by Nethack)
# Bug in DAT-MERG corrected, wouldn't merge the files correct.
(Reported by Plasmoid)
****** v0.8b (31-Jan-96) CLOSED BETA
* In the DATfile will now be the total minutes used for scanning written.
Also the Scanmode will be written there too.
* Added Dialmask check and Scanmode check when using an already existing
Datfile for scanning. (to prevent mixed up Datfile of no usage ...)
* ALT-N No more Busy. While scanning gives you now the possibility to stop
redialing busy numbers when in random scan mode. (Idea of Plasmoid)
* ALT-U Update DAT File (Saves DAT file, makes a backup of the old one.)
* If no Dialmask is specified and an already existing Datfile with dialmask
in the header is specified, this Dialmask plus scanmode will be used.
(Idea of Plasmoid)
# Made the identification for 7E1 and 7O1 more accurate to prevent false
detection. (Reported by Plasmoid)
# ETA display fixed (Reported by Plasmoid)
- Removed Tone-Hack Feature to autoscan length of a Tone/PBX number.
(was to complex and to unreliable. It's faster to do it from hand.
And you must do it anyway ...)
* If an unusual base adress is defined in TS-CFG you will no be warned
instead of the input being resetted. For Digiboard users and therelike.
(Idea of Nethack)
* THC-SCAN Config file structure cleaned up.
* DAT-MERG will now add minutes used for scanning into the maindat.
Scanmode check added too. DAT-CONV will convert time in TL<->TS.
DAT-STAT will now report the time used for scanning and scanmode.
* Rewrote DATFILE.DOC to be used as an C Header File and also updated data.
****** v0.8a (25-Jan-96) CLOSED BETA
+ Added DAT-MERG.EXE, which mergs DAT files together. It does an
intelligent dialmask check or prompts for a correct mask if not
possible. You can merge small area scans to a big area scan file.
* Added direct ID change of one special number in DAT-MANP.EXE
* Added Prefix Possiblity to EXTR-NO.EXE (Idea of Wilkins)
* When Using "?" Help while scanning, the defined names for CUSTOM 1-3
will be displayed in the Help Window (Idea of Plasmoid)
# Fixed DAT Filename calculation when adding .DAT as suffix
# Fixed Runtime Error when using BackSpace/Redial last 20 Numbers
# Fixed Outputdisplay in MANUAL.LOG
(all bugs found by Plasmoid!)
****** v0.8ß (19-Jan-96) *PUBLIC BETA*
* Cosmetics
* Added -N Parameter Switch for THC-SCAN, which means NO_EFFECTS.
In Future that will also mean NO_ASM to be desqview compactible
+ Added TXT-CONV.EXE, which is a generic converter for file to change
the filt to 7E1 or 7O1 output display, or convert them to
unix/amiga/msdos text format, or just remove any chars above 122 value
! Thought the Scanning Process itself is Desqview compactible and aware
nor are the screen window features. I hope I can work around this
problem in future. So sorry, not for real use with desqview until now.
! Someone reported me that he saw a file called THC!WS07.ZIP on a BBS.
If you ever see a file called THC!*.ZIP on a BBS, please tell the Sysop
to delete it, those are only closed betatest files, and NOT for public
release! This special file was just a test for one special function
to be implemented into THC-SCAN, so it's not worth downloading it.
! If you aren't a THC Betatester read the history from 0.7a too ...
****** v0.7a (09-Jan-96) CLOSED BETA
* Added GREAT feature : Scanning numbers from a list !
Format : On Number per line, no other chars on the line but the number
Read Documentation for details how to use this and what to keep in mind!
+ Added EXTR-NO.EXE which extract (phone-)numbers from a file. Has got
all the necessary options to get the correct format. (for textfiledial)
* Made MANY Design/Cosmetics/Enhancements in Terminal Mode & CARRIERS.LOG
* The Message [NUDGE END] will now be displayed after the whole nudge
string has been sent.
* ALT-S in Terminal does now set COMMENT to ON, you will be asked for the
comment after leaving terminal mode. NOTE : The former ALT-S -> Statistic
Key is now renamed to ALT-D Data Statistic ! ;-)
* Pressing F1 in the Terminal Mode shows now the second Key types to enter
*# Fixed ALT-P Data Parameter Switch in Terminal Mode (8N1/7E1) .. it
switched into the wrong mode ;-) ... fixed and 7O1 Mode added.
* Made some cosmetic enhancements in the log screen/file (Idea of Tron X)
# While connecting and the connect get wrong it wouldn't detect the
NO CARRIER as CARRIER response but wait for timeout :( fixed.
* Now the Harddisk is checked for at least 250kb free Space (500kb if
/& modem output log is activated) and exiting with errorlevel after
starting when not free.
# Fixed a bug when using -X option when fewer then 4 X's in the dialmask
(Thanks to Brainwave for reporting)
* Optimized the Modem delays.
* You can now enter lowcase characters in the NUDGE String in TS-CFG
* Added in TS-CFG the following Option : Modem Hangup FAST/SECURE
Choose FAST and try this with a) normal scanning, b) carrier hangup
c) choose manual/autonom mode and scan. If everything works fine use
this mode, it's much faster. It works great with Zyxels, but USRs are
much slower. Try it.
* Added the keys [TAB] and "N" to the online keys. With those you get
to the next number WITHOUT saving a primary ID (not even uninteresting)
This is the only possibilty to save a 2ndary assigned Custom ID or NOT
change the current ID setting of the number. (Wilkins gave me this Idea)
* Added one more help screen (7 now) ...
# Have you seen the wonderful feature to EXECUTE a program when special
Modem Responses/IDs have been made? I THOUGHT I implemented it - but
didn't ... hehehe .. sorry guys :-)) ... But to cheer you up because
you sat HOURS before the problem why it didn't work : Now you can assign
also TIMEOUT and RINGOUT to execute a program. ;-) and it works now!
? Please check the execute functions out several times before using them
regulary. If you encounter problems : Free more Memory ! Load Himem.Sys!
Disable your Cache Program (smartdrive, pc-cache etc.) !
****** v0.7ß (06-Jan-96) *PUBLIC* BETA
->>> First public release.
a BIG thank you to Omega, for installing the BETA Area on A.D. !
Also thank you to my best beta testers: The Analyst, Wilkins, Plasmoid
And to the other testers who reported: Tron X, Brainwave
And blame to all the others who tested but didn't report.
Additional thanks to Plasmoid/DeeP & Marquis/UCF for supporting.
* Added DIAL_AGAIN_MENU, Press [BACKSPACE] Online to get a select menu for
the last 20 dialed numbers. Selected numbers will be dialed again.
(The Analyst's great Idea!)
# Fixed a bug in my Time_Elapse Calculation Library
# Fixed some other silly silly bugs of which I deny that they ever existed!

? I hope i made it Desqview aware and support it - please TEST !
(I don't use desqview so ...)
* Auto Data Mode Detection implemented.
Modem Data 8N1 must be selected for this to work and can detect
7E1, 7O1, or if it's really 8N1. cool! Not just a silly stripping!
* You can now also dial "*" and "#" in the dialmask.
* New Option in TS-CFG : Delete Zero byte LOG Files when exiting THC-SCAN
* TS-CFG does now convert all old CFG files from version v0.6a on.
# In TS-CFG the modem responses could only have letters, no numbers or
spaces (!). changed that. (Reported by Tron X)
+ Added DAT-CONV.EXE, a DAT converter for THC-SCAN and TONLOC DAT files.
Autodetects the DAT file type and converts to the other type.

timeout length temporary, "-" now does decrease this by 5 seconds.
* Timeout added to when doing carrier hacking in mode 2, if after 5 minutes
after connect no key is pressed.
* did some cosmetics (truncating long numbers to fit into screen, terminal)
# hope i fixed the bug which did not count the ToDo's correct (Rep. by Wilkins)
* When selecting (C)ontinue in the PAUSE Menu, the O-time will be resetted.
