Hacking: Hak`ing (V) 1. The process of attempting to obtain an illegal password on a foriegn computer system. 2. The process of attempting to obtain illegal access codes to long distance services.
In this case, we are using definition number two: The process of attempting to obtain illegal access codes to long distance services through the computer.
General hacking tips
--------------------
1. Using the same code for many calls and over two weeks long is hazardous to your health.
2. BE CAREFUL! It pays to be cautious!
3. This is an expert's tool, not a beginner's. In the wrong hands, this (or any other hacker) can get you into big trouble. Do not attempt to use this if you don't understand it.
4. To determine the service format, you'll have to dial the number up several times yourself, and experiment with it. Time the delays, write down number of digits you dialed, responses, whatever. It's all important. Always cut the speaker on when first attempting anything.
5. A bit of scanning can do a world of good, especially when looking for multi-ports. Scan near the original port number you have, by hand or otherwise.
6. Sometimes a LOCAL carrier number will get through a lot faster than a long distance carrier number. Try both and write down these: Time the amount of time it takes for the call to go thru from the MOMENT you dial the last digit until
it gives a carrier. Add 1 or 2 to the delay, and use it (Either the local or
long distance carrier, whichever answered quickest) as the "Wait for carrier delay" plus the number.
7. Generally, to figure out the number of digits, you can dial in 10 digits, then keep dialing a digit and counting until it stops you. The number you dialed after the 10 is the digits. This doesn't always work.
8. You can always use 950 and 800 codes at payphones.
9. There are certain numbers that supposedly can tell you if you are being traced. I don't know how much truth there is in that, but to do it, dial a code, and dial up these numbers: 617-890-9900,415-284-1111,305-324-3333, or 213-935-1111
Code lengths

Here is a general rule of thumb for estimating code length:

1-800 numbers
-------------
Here are toll-free 1-800 numbers (also known as extenders) you can attempt to hack. Beware! 1-800 numbers are closely supervised by Bell, and too many calls to a 1-800 number can place you on an alert sheet.. Just be prudent, and all will be cool.

950 numbers
-----------
Here are a couple nationwide 950 numbers. 950's are a very special animal that were planned to be outmoded. 950's are in general reasonably safe as far as I know, and give exceptionally good connections. Also, not all 950's can be reached from all areas.

Local Access Numbers
--------------------
To get the local Sprint/MCI/ect. access number for your area code, just call up these customer numbers and B.S. them. Tell 'em you're a business man on a trip to ____,__ and you need the access number there to use your code. Above all, sound professional.

Carrier numbers
---------------
Here are a bunch of Compuserve ports that work fine as carrier numbers.
I'd check these before using them. They're pretty recent, but some of them have their numbers changed.
