- General TRW information

- A short background on Trw
- =========================
-
- Trw is a large database in which company's and banks can run credit checks
- on their customers. Example: John Jones orders 500$ worth of stereo equipment
- from the Joe Blow Electronic distributtng Co. Well it could be that he gave
- the company a phony credit card number, or doesn't have enough credit, etc.
- Well they call up Trw and then run a check on him, trw then lists his card
- numbers (everything from sears to visa) and tells the numbers, credit, when he
- lost it last (if he ever did) and then of course tells if he has had any prior
- problems paying his bills.
-
- I would also like to add that although Trw contains information on mill-
- ions of people, not every part of the country is served, although the major
- area are.. So if you hate someone and live in a small state, you probably
- wont be able to order him 300 pink toilet seats from K-mart.
-
- Logging on
- ==========
-
- To log on, you dial-up your local access number (or long-distance, what
- ever turns you on) and wait for it to say "trw" at this promt, you type eithe
- r an "A" or a "Ctrl-G" and it will say "circuit building in progress" it will
- wait for a minute and then clear the screen, now you will type one of the
- following.
-
- Tca1
- Tca2
- Tnj1
- Tga1
-
- This is to tell it what geographical area the customer is in, it really
- doesnt matter which you use, because trw will automatically switch when it find
- s the record..
-
- Next, you will type in the pswd and info on the person you are trying to
- get credit info on: you type it in a format like this:
-
- Rts Pswd Lname Fname ...,House number First letter of street name Zip,L-street
- name,h-y now you type ctrl s this what it looks like in real life:
-
-
- Ae: Dialing xxx-xxx-xxxx
-
- (screen clear)
- Trw ^G
-
- circuit building in progress
-
- (pause . . . screen clear)
-
- Tca1 Rtc 3966785-cm5 Johnson David ...,456 R 48932,L-Renoylds,h-y ^s
-
- and then it will wait for a few seconds and print out the file on him (if it
- can locate one for the guy)
-
- note: you may have to push return when you first connect to get the systems
- attention.
-
- Getting Your Passwords
- ======================
-
- To obtain pswds, you go down to your favorite bank or sears store and
- dig through the trash (hence the name trashing) looking for printouts, if
- they are a big enough place, and live in a trw area, then they will probably
- have some. The printouts will have the 7 digit subscriber code, leaving the
- 3-4 digit pswd up to you. Much like trashing down at good old ma bell. Another
- way would be to social engineer an account from a local car dealership or a
- credit union, if you are a real good se.
