Glossary Of Terms Herin: LAN: Local Area Network NPA: Number Planning Area (Area Code) NUA: Network User Address NUI: Network User Id PAD: Packet Assembl(er/y)/Disassebl(er/y) PCP: PC-Pursuit PSN: Packet Switching System UUCP: Unix to Unix CoPy WAN: Wide Area Network Introduction: I wouldn't consider myself the best of all hackers or phreakers, but I am learning. During one of my learning endeavors on Telenet and other PSNs, I discovered (for my first time), the GS/1 system. Being inexperienced at the time, I knew about the great value of any private PAD, and began experimenting with the system, determined that this system was some type of PAD and that I would figure out how to gain full network access with a simple command. I was right. And today, I'll welcome you to the world of power communications. In this file, I hope you will learn a bit on the uses and potential abuses of the GS/1 system; this is in no way, shape, or form, a complete manual on the GS/1 system, but a compilation of my experimentation on my first GS/1 system. So, just kick back and enjoy the file... What Is The GS/1 System? The GS/1 system is a combination of three major packet switching functions bundled into one. The GS/1 system can operate as a private PAD, a X.25+ gateway, and/or a network (WAN) server. It is this combination that makes this system so versitile. However, you should also note that NOT ALL GS/1 systems may have all three features "set up" for use; oh well, just make do with what you have right now... scan tommorrow for more! Logging Onto A GS/1 System: As of today, I have not encountered a GS/1 PAD which had any type of logon security whatsoever to gain access to its network "utilities." I don't know if it's the software or the system operaters that are lagging or what, but it sure makes it a helluvalot easier on my (and I'm sure) and your end. When you logon from Telenet or whatever PSN you are originating from, you will probably see a short welcome or warning about the system you are gaining access to, and then a default prompt of "GS/1> " (This prompt can be changed by the system operator, but usually isn't...). Well now, you're in. Now, that was the easy part. Inside The GS/1: Once inside the GS/1 system, there are many options you can do, similar to most PADs, gateways, and servers. The following was captured & edited from a GS/1 system after hitting "?" at the "GS/1> " prompt. Connect <address>[,<address>] [ ECM ] [ Q ] DEQueue ??? DisConnect <session> DO <macro name> Echo <string> Listen Pause [<seconds>] REMoteSET ??? REMoteSHow ??? RESume <session> SET <param-name> = <value> ... SHow <argument> ... SWitch <session> Transmit ??? N... Privileged Command U... Privileged Command Z... Privileged Command As you can see, the commands are quite simple. I don't know if I listed all of the commands above, but if you type in a single letter at the prompt, and there are more commands present on the system that start with that letter, GS/1 will show you the commands that begin with that letter to clear any user confusion up. GS/1 Command Summary: Letters in CAPS are the only letters necessary to execute the given command in GS/1! Also note that appending a '?' to the end of any FULL or PARTIAL command will USUALLY prompt GS/1 to offer you some assistance in summarizing the command/argument you are attempting to use. Connect <address>[,<address>] [ ECM ] [ Q ] The Connect command is by far the most useful utility on GS/1 that I am aware of. Through proper formatting and usage, this command will allow you to access ANY NUA accessible through Telenet, as if you had entered an NUI. I will discuss a bit more on connecting to NUAs later. Also, GS/1 allows the use of "ClearingHouseNames" in the place of NUAs; sort of like how you can enter things on Telenet at the "@" prompt, like "PORTAL," "TELEMAIL," and the such. More on ClearingHouseNames later! DEQueue ??? I have no idea what this command does. DisConnect <session> This command will disconnect the PAD from a session. The GS/1 PAD allows multiple connections (probably a max of 10-20) during the read-time. Each session is numbered from 1-x where x is the last session connected to. DC x will disconnect from session x, thus hang-up from the system which was connected to at session x. DO <macro name> This command will allow you to execute a macro file on-line. On the GS/1, this could mean auto-logon to a private outdial system, a LAN, another WAN, or who knows. More on macros later. Echo <string> This command re-prints whatever is placed in the <string> parameter. I believe this is for parity and data transmission verification, most similar to Telenet's ECHO CHAR and such... Listen Although this command says 'Listen,' it really is 'Logoff.' Hitting L will disconnect ALL current sessions under the port number you logged onto under, and disconnect you from the GS/1 PAD. Pause [<seconds>] This command will pause your terminal for the specified number of seconds. REMoteSET ??? Sorry, I have no information on this command. REMoteSHow ??? Sorry, I have no information on this command. RESume <session> If you have connected onto 1 or more systems and "broken" out of them, in likeness to breaking out of a system in Telenet by typing '@,' and you would like to RESume a session that is still currently connected, this command will allow you to do just that. SET <param-name> = <value> ... The SET command allows you to change terminal and PAD characteristics, the following is a PARTIAL list of options one could change when under GS/1: BAud BSDelay BSPad CRDelay CRPad DataBits DeVice DUplex FFDelay FFPad InterAction LFDelay LFPad PARIty PRIvilege StopBits TabDelay TabPad Most of those parameters should be obvious. Again, if you want to know more paramters available, just type SET x, where x is the first character to any parameter, and if that charachter is the first character to 2 or more parameters, those paramters will be listed to help "solve" any user confusion. SHow <argument> ... This command will display the parameters under effect (similar to the SET parameters), and will also show you other prominent information you just might be interested in. Here are the SHow arguments available: SHow ADDRess SHow ClearingHouseNames [ <name> [ @ <domain> [@ <organ.> ] ] ] SHow DefaultParameters [<param-name> ...] SHow GLobalPARameters SHow NetMAP [ Short | Long ] SHow PARAmeterS [<param-name> ...] SHow <param-name> ... SHow SESsions [ P ] SHow VERSion Most of the arguments should be obvious except the ClearingHouseNames argument, which will show you the ClearingHouseNames to several systems which are either defaulted to a connect macro to the specified system, or within a WAN. The format of the names are: SYSTEMNAME@LOCATION@ACCOUNT Where SYSTEMNAME is the name/description of the destination system, the LOCATION is the city of the SYSTEMNAME, and the ACCOUNT is usually the owner/operator of the GS/1 PAD. To connect directly to a ClearingHouseName, all you have to do is: Connect SYSTEMNAME And the GS/1 PAD will search the ClearingHouseNames database for the system and other pertinent network info for you, and connect you up to that system. SWitch <session> SWitch will allow you to change to a different system if you are connected to multiple sessions (more than 1 system at a time). Transmit ??? Sorry, no information concerning this command; however, it appears to be some sort of utility similar to either 'UUCP' or the Telenet bulk data transfer ready command (DTAPE). N... Privileged Command U... Privileged Command Z... Privileged Command The above are Privileged account commands; sorry, I haven't been able to secure any privileged passwords as of yet... but I'll be working on it. Connecting To NUAs: One feature I really like about the GS/1 system (and it was not fun hacking out the format to this one), is the -almost- unlimited network access this PAD has. So, you wanna connect to some long distance NUAs, eh? Or you wanna dial PC-Pursuit's outdial system direct and save yourself a few bux by bypassing Telenet-PCP security? This is the one for you then. Syntax: Connect !xxx#DNICyyyzzzzz Where xxx is the port that will make the dial, (usually anywhere from 00-99 or more), DNIC is the DNIC of the address without any leading 0's, yyy is the NPA or Prefix (if applicable), and zzzz is the suffix (if applicable). Example: We want to connect to 0311021200032, through port number 33: Connect !33#311021200032 What The Hell Is A PORT? A port on the GS/1 PAD is the address you have logged onto on the current GS/1 system as well as addresses GS/1 uses to "call out" when you use any type of Connect command. To find out what port number you are currently on, type: SHow ADDRess This will give some sort of a cryptic number with %'s and other symbols in it, but we're looking for the PORT number here... Aha! The port number is the NUMERICAL amount following the '!' in the string. There, you now have YOUR port number (and like Telenet with local dialins, that port number may change if you call back at a later date and someone/noone is on the system at the same time as you). Big deal. You have your port number... Now what? Now you have a location to work with. Suppose your port number is 55. GS/1 has ports numbered in increasing order, so if you have port 55, you can try the "Connect" command through port 56,54,57,53 or similarly numbered ports. Understand? What GS/1 does when you execute a Connect command to another NUA, GS/1 utilizes one of its ports to make the "call." Thus, when you enter: Connect !xxx#DNICyyyzzzzz The xxx (PORT number) you choose MUST be an open port. If a user is on it, or you are on it, or it doesn't exist, you will either receive an error message or a message stating that the port/address was busy. Try another port. Other GS/1 Notes: Some comments on the GS/1 PAD, Gateway, Server: 1) The PAD Delay when connected to MOST system through the GS/1 system is increased (pretty drastically), and might cause input from your terminal to appear sluggish and slow. However, incomming data is not hindered in that fashion. 2) To access PRIvileged commands, type: SET PRIvilege You will be prompted for a password. If you get it right, good job. If not, I do not know whether or not the GS/1 system records any such hack attempts, but don't press your luck in hacking out the password if the GS/1 PAD you are hacking in is the only PAD you have access to! 3) The GS/1 system usually does not send linefeeds and does not recognize destructive backspaces when connected at 8,N,1; however, linefeeds and destructive backspaces are compensated for at connections with E,7,1. 4) A trick on some GS/1 systems is to type: SHow Macros Which will show you a bunch of macros for the DO command; however, on most GS/1 systems, this command has been edged out, EXCEPT to the privileged (of course). 5) I don't know the charachter/control key that will "break" out of a session and place you back on the GS/1 prompt. I know this is possible, but... oh well... time to experiment some more. Conclusion: Well, I hope you enjoyed reading this file on the GS/1 PAD, Gateway, and Server as much as I enjoyed typing it (hahahaha...).
