I HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT WHAT THESE COMPUTER NUMBERS ARE, BUT YOU CAN HAVE SOME FUN HACKING THEM. 404-441-0129 PRESS CTRL-X 404-441-0155 404-441-0160 404-441-0199 404-441-0216 404-441-0398 404-441-0450 404-441-0452 404-441-0715 PRESS ESC 404-441-1377 PRESS RETURN 404-441-1381 PRESS CTRL-Q 404-441-1770 PRESS CTRL-E 404-441-1886 PRESS CTRL-Q 404-441-2574 MAINTENANCE 404-441-2702 ADMINISTRATION 404-441-2781 404-441-2870 404-441-2939 404-441-2984 404-441-2986 404-441-2991 404-441-2996 404-441-3247 404-441-3487 404-441-3617 404-441-3654 404-441-3774 404-441-3924 404-441-4502 404-441-4700 404-441-4805 404-441-5157 404-441-5241 404-441-5380 404-441-5381 NOW SINCE YOU HAVE SOME NUMBERS THAT YOU CAN PHREAK TO, I BET THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT PHREAKING, WELL I'M GOING TO TELL YOU SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I KNOW. PHREAKING IS THE ACT OF MAKING TELEPHONE CALLS WITHOUT PAYING FOR THEM, OR CHARGING THEM TO SOMEONE ELSE'S TELEPHONE BILL...HEY THAT'S ILLEGAL ISN'T IT?! PHREAKING IS A METHOD USED BY MOST OF THE INTELLIGENT PEOPLE IN THE MODEM COMMUNITY THAT CAN'T AFFORD LARGE TELEPHONE BILLS, BUT STILL LIKE TO MAKE A LOT OF LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE CALLS. NOW TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF SWITCHING SYSTEMS... AS FAR AS I KNOW, THERE ARE 3 TYPES OF SWITCHING SYSTEMS PRESENT TODAY. THE FIRST SWITCHING SYSTEMS USED WERE STEP BY STEP (SXS). SWITCHING SYSTEMS WERE ADOPTED IN 1918, AND UNTIL 1978 BELL HAD OVER 53% OF ALL EXCHANGES USING STEP BY STEP. A LONG AND CONFUSING TRAIN OF SWITCHES IS USED FOR STEP BY STEP SWITCHING. HOW TO TELL IF STEP BY STEP SWITCHING IS PRESENT: 1) NO PULSING DIGITS AFTER DIALING OR DTMF (DUAL-TONE MULTI-FREQUENCY) 2) PHONE COMPANY SOUNDS LIKE MANY TYPEWRITERS 3) NO SPEED CALLING, CALL FORWARDING OR OTHER SERVICES 4) PAY PHONE WANTS MONEY FIRST, BEFORE DIAL-TONE THE DISADVANTAGES ARE: 1) THE SWITCH TRAIN MAY BECOME JAMMED, THEREFORE BLOCKING CALL 2) NO DTMF 3) A LOT OF MAINTANANCE AND ELECTRICITY 4) EVERYTHING IS HARDWIRED THE NEXT TYPE OF SWITCHING SYSTEM IS KNOWN AS CROSSBAR SWITCHING. THIS METHOD HAS BEEN BELL'S PRIMARY SWITCHER AFTER 1960. THERE ARE 3 TYPES OF CROSSBAR SWITCHING THAT EXIST; NUMBER 1 CROSSBAR (1XB), NUMBER 4 CROSSBAR (4XB), AND NUMBER 5 CROSSBAR (5XB). A SWITCHING MATRIX IS USED FOR ALL THE PHONES IN THE AREA. WHEN SOMEONE CALLS THE ROUTE IS DETERMINED AND IS MET UP WITH THE OTHER PHONE. THE MATRIX IS SET UP IN HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL PATHS. THERE ARE NO DEFINITE DISTINGUISHING FEATURES OF CROSSBAR SWITCHING. THE FINAL TYPE OF SWITCHING IS KNOWN AS ELECTRONIC SWITCHING SYSTEM (ESS). THIS IS THE ONE DREADED BY MOST OF US. WITH ESS BELL KNOWS EVERY DIGIT DIALED (INCLUDING MISTAKES), WHO YOU CALL, WHEN YOU CALLED, HOW LONG YOU WERE CONNECTED, AND IN SOME CASES, WHAT YOU TALKED ABOUT (HEH, HEH...INVASION OF PRIVACY!?). THIS IS THE CLOSET THAT ANYONE HAS COME TO TRUE TOTALITARIANISM. ESS IS PROGRAMMED TO PRINT OUT THE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE WHO MAKE EXCESSIVE CALLS TO WATS NUMBERS (WIDE AREA TELEPHONE SERVICE, OR SIMPLY PUT, 1-800 NUMBERS) OR DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE. THIS RATHER DEADLY TRAP IS CALLED "800 EXCEPTIONAL CALLING REPORT". ESS CAN BE PROGRAMMED TO PRINT LOGS OF WHO CALLED CERTAIN NUMBERS. ELECTRONIC SWITCHING SYSTEM MAKES THE JOB OF THE FBI, BELL SECURITY (COMMONLY REFERRED TO BY US PHREAKERS AS THE GESTAPO), NSA, AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WHICH LIKE TO INVADE OUR PRIVACY, WHICH IS EXTREMELY EASY TO DO. TRACING IS DONE IN MICROSECONDS, AND THE RESULTS ARE PRINTED OUT ON THE MONITOR OF A GESTAPO OFFICER. ESS CAN ALSO PICK UP FOREIGN TONES ON THE LINES, LIKE 2600 HZ, WHICH IS USED IN BLUE BOXES (SEE HACK AND PHREAK FILE #5 FOR MORE INFO ON BLUE BOXES). BELL SAYS THAT THEY WILL HAVE ESS IMPLEMENTED IN ALL AREAS BY THE 1990'S, BUT I DOUBT IT. HOW TO IDENTIFY AN ELECTRONIC SWITCHING SYSTEM: 1) DIALING 911 FOR EMERGENCIES 2) DIAL-TONE FIRST FOR PAY PHONES 3) CALLING SERVICES LIKE CALL FORWARDING, SPEED DIALING, CALL WAITING, ETC. 4) ANI (AUTOMATIC NUMBER IDENTIFICATION) FOR LONG DISTANCE CALLS ANYWAYS THOSE ARE THE 3 TYPES OF SWITCHING SYSTEMS AROUND TODAY. EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE RUMOURS THAT SAY THAT IF YOU PHREAK YOU ARE BEING STUPID SINCE MOST PHREAKERS GET CAUGHT, BUT THIS IS NOT TRUE, PROBABLY SOME GUY AT BELL STARTED THIS RUMOUR, TO SCARE EVERYONE OFF. SURE THERE IS A VERY SLIGHT CHANCE OF BEING CAUGHT, BUT THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE STUPID AND CARELESS. IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING, THEN YOU WON'T EVER BE CAUGHT. ONE FINAL NOTE, THERE IS ALWAYS MORE THAT 1 WAY OF PHREAKING, YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW HOW. HERE ARE SOME MORE EXTENDER NUMBERS... 1-800-448-8989 6 DIGIT CODE PLUS NUMBER YOU WISH TO CALL 1-800-626-9600 6 DIGIT CODE PLUS NUMBER YOU WISH TO CALL 1-800-628-5555 6 DIGIT CODE PLUS 1 PLUS NUMBER YOU WISH TO DIAL 1-800-638-1996 6 DIGIT CODE PLUS NUMBER YOU WISH TO CALL SOME MORE COMPUTER NUMBERS OF INTEREST. I THINK THAT THERE ARE ALL IN THE 201 AREA CODE, BUT I'M NOT SURE ANYMORE, IT'S BEEN AWHILE... 467-1183 0123456789 467-1191 JUST A CARRIER 467-1330 SENDS CONTROL CHARACTERS 467-1355 SENDS CONTROL CHARACTERS 467-1393 JUST A CARRIER 467-1448 JUST A CARRIER THE NEXT ONES ARE FROM THE SAME COMPANY. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT TRT MULTISPEED IS? ANYWAYS, FOR YOU HACKERS OUT THERE, AN ACCOUNT IS "Y1D050". 467-1455 467-1456 467-1510 ANOTHER NUMBER IS 467-1519. I HAVE RUN INTO NUMBERS LIKE THIS BEFORE. WHEN YOU HIT RETURN, IT SENDS AN M (REMEMBER CTRL-M IS RETURN) AND WHEN YOU HIT SPACE, IT SENDS AN @ (CTRL-@ IS A NULL CHARACTER). A FEW MORE DATAPAC ADDRESSES... 2610 0021 RADIO SHACK 5665 0010 (HELP*) 5665 0011 (HELP) 5665 0015 (43) 9110 0022 DEC SYSTEM NOW FOR YOU PEOPLE THAT ARE STILL INTO BOXING, I WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO CONSTRUCT A PEARL BOX. A PEARL BOX, WHEN OPERATED CORRECTLY CAN PRODUCE TONES FROM 1 TO 9999HZ. THIS BOX IS VERY USEFUL, SINCE IT WILL ALLOW YOU TO GENERATE SOME CRUCIAL TONES SUCH AS 1336HZ, 1633HZ, 2600HZ AND MANY MORE WITHIN THE ABOVE RANGE. THE FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF THE MATERIALS THAT YOU WILL NEED IN ORDER TO BUILD YOURSELF A PEARL BOX: 0.5MF OR 0.5UF CERAMIC DISK CAPACITORS - C1 0.5MF OR 0.5UF CERAMIC DISK CAPACITORS - C2 NPN TRANSISTOR (2N2222 USUALLY WORKS THE BEST) - N1 NORMALLY OPEN MOMENTARY SPST SWITCH - S1 SPST TOGGLE SWITCH - S2 STANDARD 9-VOLT BATTERY - B1 SINGLE TURN, 50K POTENTIOMETER - P1 SINGLE TURN, 100K POTENTIOMETER - P2 SINGLE TURN, 500K POTENTIOMETER - P3 SINGLE TURN, 1MEG POTENTIOMETER - P4 STANDARD 8-OHM SPEAKER - SPKR MINI TRANSFORMER (8-OHM WORKS THE BEST) - T1 YOU WILL ALSO NEED WIRE, SOLDERING IRON, SOLDER, PC BOARD OR PERFBOARD, A BOX TO CONTAN THE COMPLETED UNIT, AND A BATTERY CLIP. SINCE IT'S PRETTY DIFFICULT TO TRY TO EXPLAIN IN WORDS ON HOW TO CONSTRUCT A PEARL BOX, I WILL INCLUDE A DIAGRAM. IT'S A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO FOLLOW, BUT GIVE IT A TRY ANYWAYS +-------------+------------+---------+ | | \ +--S1---- C1 C2 \ SPKR | | + +-------- + | ---+T1 | |\ +---------------+------+ | B C-------+ | N1 | | E-----S2----+ | | | | | B1 | | | | | +-------+ |P1 P2 P3 P4| /\/\ /\/\ /\/\ /\/\ +--+ +--+ +--+ WELL THAT'S A PRETTY ROUGH DIAGRAM BUT ONCE YOU HAVE ALL THE NECESSARY MATERIALS, THEN YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND IT A LITTLE BIT MORE. SOMEOTHER THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION IS THAT THE POTENTIOMETER AREA IS RIGGED SO THAT THE LEFT POLE IS CONNECTED TO THE CENTER POLE OF THE POTENTIOMETER NEXT TO IT. THE MIDDLE TERMINAL OF T1 IS CONNECTED TO THE PIECE OF WIRE THAT RUNS DOWN TO THE END OF THE BATTERY. YOU MAY ALSO WANT TO GET SOME DRY-TRANSFER DECALS TO MAKE THIS JOB A LOT EASIER. IN ADDITION, SOME KNOBS FOR THE TOPS OF THE POTENTIOMETERS MAY BE USEFUL TOO. USE THE DECALS TO CALIBRATE THE KNOBS. P1 IS THE KNOB FOR THE ONES PLACE, P2 FOR THE TENS PLACE, P3 FOR THE HUNDREDS PLACE, AND P4 FOR THE THOUSANDS PLACE. S1 IS FOR PRODUCING ALL THE TONES AND S2 IS FOR THE POWER. NOW THAT YOU HAVE CONSTRUCTED A PERAL BOX, YOU WILL WANT TO KNOW HOW TO USE IT. WHAT YOU DO IS TURN ON THE POWER AND ADJUST THE KNOBS FOR THE DESIRED TONE (EXAMPLE: FOR 2600HZ --> P1=0, P2=0, P3=6, P4=2). NOW HIT THE PUSHBUTTON SWITCH AND YOU WILL HAVE THE DESIRED TONE. IF YOU DON'T GET A TONE THEN RE-CHECK ALL THE CONNECTIONS AND THE ABOVE DIAGRAM TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVEN'T MADE ANY MISTAKES. NOW THESE 2 NUMBERS ARE REAL PATHETIC. THEY ARE BOTH IN THE 416 AREA CODE AND ARE BELL CANADA TEST LINES AT 110 BAUD, AND IT KEEPS PRINTING THE SAME STUPID MESSAGE... 966-3994 966-3995 THE FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF EXTENDERS WITH THEIR REQUIRED CODE LENGTH. WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IS DIAL UP ONE OF THE FOLLOWING 1-800 NUMBERS AND THEN EITHER 1) ENTER ACCES CODE, THEN THE TELEPHONE NUMBER YOU WISH TO CALL, OR 2) ENTER THE TELEPHONE NUMBER YOU WISH TO CALL, AND THEN THE ACCESS CODE. WHAT YOU CAN DO IS RANDOMLY PICK AN ACCESS CODE, AND HOPEFULLY YOU GUESSED RIGHT, IF NOT, TRY ANOTHER COMBINATION OF NUMBERS. IT'S BEST TO ROTATE BETWEEN USING THE DIFFERENT EXTENDERS, THAN TO ALWAYS USE THE SAME 1-800 NUMBER AND ACCES CODE. 1-800-221-8190 - 4 1-800-227-3414 - 4 1-800-242-1122 - ? 1-800-243-7650 - 6 1-800-245-4890 - 4 1-800-245-7508 - 5 1-800-252-5879 - 8 1-800-321-0327 - 4 1-800-321-0845 - 6 1-800-322-1415 - 6 1-800-323-3027 - 6 1-800-323-8126 - ? 1-800-325-3075 - ? 1-800-325-7222 - 6? 1-800-327-2731 - 6 1-800-327-6713 - 4 1-800-327-9136 - 4 1-800-327-9895 - 7 1-800-328-7112 - 4 1-800-336-6000 - ? 1-800-343-1844 - 4 1-800-345-0008 - 7 1-800-462-6471 - 5 1-800-547-6754 - 6 1-800-521-1674 - 4 1-800-521-8400 - 8 1-800-526-5305 - 8 1-800-527-3511 - 8 1-800-543-7168 - 8 1-800-621-4611 - ? 1-800-654-8494 - 6 1-800-682-4000 - 6 1-800-843-0698 - 9 1-800-858-9000 - 3 NOW FOR YOU PEOPLE THAT LIKE TO DO SOME MORE HACKING, I WILL NOT TELL YOU HOW YOU CAN HACK AN RSTS SYSTEM. THE RSTS HAS 2 PARTS, THE PRIVILEDGED ACCOUNTS AND THE USER ACCOUNTS. THE PRIVILEDGED ACCOUNTS START WITH A 1, IN THE FORMAT [1,1], [1,10], ETC. TO CHOW THE PRIVILEDGED ACCOUNTS WE'LL JUST USE THE WILDCARD [1,*]. THE PRIVILEDGED ACCOUNTS ARE WHAT EVERY RSTS USER WOULD LOVE TO HAVE, BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE A PRIVILEDGED ACCOUNT, YOU HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE WHOLE SYSTEM. NOW THE QUESTION IS HOW DO YOU GET A [1,*] ACCOUNT? WELL IT TAKES A LOT OF HARD WORK AND SOME LUCK. GUESSING IS THE GENERAL RULE. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN YOU FIRST LOG ON THERE WILL BE A # SIGN, AND YOU TYPE A [1,*] ACCOUNT LIKE 1,2. IT WILL THEN SAY PASSWORD:, AND THEN YOU TYPE ANYTHING UP TO 6 LETTERS OR NUMBERS AND IT MUST BE IN UPPER CASE. IF IT SAYS INVALID PASSWORD, THEN YOU'VE NOT DONE IT YET, SO KEEP TRYING. NOW AFTER YOU'VE SUCCEEDED IN GETING A PRIVILEDGED ACCOUNT, YOU WILL THEN BE IN THE PRIVILEDGED ACCOUNT OF AN RSTS SYSTEM. THE FIRST THING THAT YOU SHOULD DO IS KICK EVERYONE ELSE OFF THE SYSTEM, OR ATLEAST ALL THE OTHER PRIVILEDGED USERS. YOU DO THIS WITH THE UTILITY PROGRAM "UT KILL". WHAT YOU DO IS TYPE THE JOB # OF THE USER THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO GET OUT OF YOU WAY. IF THE SYSTEM WON'T LET YOU DO THIS, THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO LOOK FOR THE UTILITY PROGRAM. YOU CAN SEARCH FOR IT BY TYPING "DIR [1,*]UTILITY.*". YOU CAN KEEP THE REGULAR USERS ON, BUT IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMOVE ALL THE [1,*] USERS, EVEN THE DETACHED ONES. TO FIND OUT WHO'S WHO ON THE SYSTEM, TYPE "SYS/P-", AND THAT WILL PRINT OUT ALL THE PRIVILEDGED USERS. OR JUST TYPE SYS TO SEE EVERYONE. THE NEXT THING THAT YOU WOULD PROBABLY WANT TO DO IS GET ALL OF THE PASSWORDS. DO THIS BY RUN $MONEY. IF IT ISN'T THERE, THEN YOU'LL HAVE TO SEARCH FOR IT WITH "DIR[1,*]MONEY.*" AND RUN IT USING THE ACCOUNT WHERE YOU FOUND IT, INSTEAD OF THE $. THE SYSTEM WILL ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS LIKE "RESET?" AND "DISK?". HERE'S WHAT YOU TYPE IN FOR THE ANSWERS. DISK? SY (SINCE YOU WANT THE SYSTEM PASSWORD), RESET? NO (SINCE YOU WANT TO LEAVE EVERYTHING AS IT IS), PASSWORDS? YES (SINCE YOU WANT THE PASSWORDS PRINTED). THERE ARE OTHER QUESTIONS, BUT THEY AREN'T IMPORTANT, SO HIT HIT A C/R. HOWEVER, THERE IS ONE MORE IMPORTANT QUESTION THAT WILL SAY SOMETHING LIKE OUTPUT STATUS OK? KB: (THINS IS IMPORTANT SINCE YOU WANT TO SEE IT AND SEND IT ELSEWHERE). OK, NOW SINCE YOU HAVE ALL THE PASSWORDS, YOUR NEXT STEP IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT NEXT TIME YOU CALL, YOU CAN GET IN AGAIN. THIS IS THE HARD PART. FIRST, SO THAT NO ONE CAN DISTURB YOU, YOU USE THE UTILITY PR/GRAM TO MAKE IT SO NO ONE CAN LOG IN. TYPE "UT SET NO LOGINS". YOU CAN ALSO TYPE "UT HELP" IF YOU NEED SOME HELP WITH THIS PROGRAM. THE NEXT THING THAT YOU SHOULD DO IS LIST THE PROGRAM AND FIND OUT WHERE THE INPUT OF THE ACCOUNT # IS. TO GET THIS FAR YOU HAVE TO KNOW QUITE A BIT ABOUT PROGRAMMING AND WHAT TO LOOK FOR. NOW I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO DO THIS YET, SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL WORK, BUT MY IDEA IS TO MAKE A CONDITIONAL SO THAT IF YOU TYPE IN A CODE WORD AND AN ACCOUNT #, IT WILL RESPOND WITH THE PASSWORD. THIS WILL PROBABLY TAKE A WHILE TO LOOK FOR AND A FEW MINUTES TO CHANGE, BUT IF YOU CAN DO IT, THEN YOU'VE GOT THAT RSTS SYSTEM UNDER YOUR POWER. LET'S SAY THAT YOU HAVE SOMEHOW BEEN ABLE TO CHANGE THE PROGRAM, THE NEXT THING THAT YOU OBVIOUSLY WANT TO DO IS REPLACE IT, SO PUT IT BACK FROM WHERE YOU GOT IT (SAVE PROGRAM-NAME) AND THEN PUT IT BACK TO THE PROT LEVEL (THE NUMBER IN THE <###>) BY TYPING "IP PROGRAM-NAME<232>" OR WHATEVER THE ### HAPPEN TO BE. NOW SINCE YOU'VE GOTTEN THIS FAR, YOU CAN GO AND EXPERIMENT SOME MORE ON YOUR OWN. LOOK AT ALL THE PROGRAMS, SINCE YOU HAVE PRIVILEDGED STATUS, YOU HAVE ACCESS TO ALL THE PROGRAMS. LOOK AROUND FOR THE LOG PROGRAM AND FIND OUT WHAT YOU CAN DO TO THAT. THE LAST THING TO DO BEFORE YOU LEAVE IS TO SET THE DATE BACK TO WHAT IT WAS BY USING THE UTILITY PROGRAM. TYPE IN "UT DATE" AND THE PRESENT DATE. THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME MCI ACCESS NUMBERS... 201-645-9040 NEWARK, NJ. 202-872-1847 WASHINGTON, D.C. 203-348-0929 STAMFORD, CT. 212-397-1020 NEW YORK, NY. 214-742-6888 DALLAS, TEXAS 215-561-3199 PHILADELPHIA, PA. 216-253-1490 AARON, OHIO 216-621-2371 CLEVELAND, OHIO 219-232-8036 SOUTH BEND, IND. 301-321-8933 BALTIMORE, MD. 312-321-6581 CHICAGO, ILL. 314-342-0280 ST. LOUIS, MO. 402-422-0306 OMAHA, NEBRASKA 404-523-0003 ATLANTA, GA. 405-525-8963 OKLAHOMA CITY, OK. 412-281-4905 PITTSBURG, PA. 414-933-7351 MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN 415-495-2500 SAN FRANCISCO, CA. 419-243-2048 TOLEDO, OHIO 504-566-8970 NEW ORLEANS, LA. 512-226-8505 SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 512-473-2716 AUSTIN, TEXAS 513-241-1216 CINCINNATI, OHIO 602-622-0212 TUCSON, ARIZONA 602-249-0716 PHOENIX, AZ. 612-341-2835 MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. 614-224-0970 COLUMBUS, OHIO 617-482-2888 BOSTON, MASS. 714-541-1915 SANTA ANA, CA. 714-560-1465 SAN DIEGO, CA. 806-744-8879 LUBBOCK, TEXAS 915-561-5130 MIDLAND/ODESS, TEXAS 918-583-9082 TULSA, OKLAHOMA AND HERE ARE 2 ACCESS CODES FOR MCI... 61936 92396 NOW WE ALL REMEMBER A PROGRAM A FEW YEARS BACK CALLED LMS. WELL THERE IS A WAY TO DELETE A USER FROM THE SYSTEM WITHOUT EVEN HAVING A PASSWORD ON THE SYSTEM. YOU CAN EVEN DELETE THE SYSOP'S PASS. THE FIRST THING THAT YOU ARE ASKED FOR IS A USER CODE. THIS CODE IS 6 DIGITS IN LENGTH. THE FIRST DIGIT IS A C, THE NEXT 3 DIGISTS IS YOUR USER NUMBER AND THE LAST 2 DIGITS ARE BOTH RANDOM NUMBERS. NOW ALL YOU DO IS TYPE IN ANY USER CODE, IE C00100 (YOU ONLY NEED TO GET THE FIRST 4 DIGITS RIGHT, IN THIS CASE IT'S USER #1, THE SYSOP), THEN IT WILL ASK YOU FOR A PASS, AND YOU HIT CTRL-Y 5 TIMES AND THEN RETURN. THAT USER WILL NOW BE DELETED OFF OF THE SYSTEM. ANOTHER METHOD OF PHREAKING IS USING BELL CALLING CARDS. WHAT YOU DO IS DIAL UP THE OPERATOR OR WHATEVER THE METHOD OF USING THE CALLING CARDS IS. THEN YOU TELL THE OPERATOR THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO PLACE A LOND DISTANCE CALL USING YOUR BELL CALLING CARD, SO THE OPERATOR WILL ASK YOU WHAT YOUR CARD NUMBER IS, SO JUST MAKE ONE UP, OR GIVE THE OPERATOR THE FOLLOWING NUMBER, WHICH WORKS, 714 658 2029 2968 AND THEN THE OPERATOR WILL DIAL THE NUMBER THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO CALL. DON'T ALWAYS GIVE THE SAME NUMBER AS I GAVE ABOVE, TRY SOME OTHER COMBINATIONS. I WOULD ADVIDE CHANGE THE NUMBERS IN THE LAST 2 SETS. IF THE OPERATOR SAYS THAT YOUR CARD IS INVALID, JUST SAY THAT YOU ARE SORRY AND MADE A MISTAKE AND THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO CHECK YOUR CARD, WHICH YOU MISTAKINGLY LEFT SOMEWHERE ELSE. NOW FOR A REAL DUMB THING THAT YOU CAN DO ON ANY BBS. IF YOU WANT TO DELETE ALL THE MESSAGES FROM A CERTAIN MESSAGE BASE, IE SUPPOSE THERE ARE A MAXIMUM OF 30 MESSAGES ALLOWED ON A CERTAIN MESSAGE BASE, THEN ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS POST 30 MESSAGES (OR HOWEVER MANY THE MAXIMUM NUMBER IS) AND AFTER YOU HAVE FILLED UP THE MESSAGE BASE WITH ALL YOUR DUMMY MESSAGES, ALL YOU DO IS DELETE THEM ALL, THEN WHENT HE SYSOP AND OTHER USERS LOG ON, THEY WILL WONDER WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE MESSAGES. YA SO IT'S A DUMB IDEA, BUT IT WORKS. ANOTHER THING THAT YOU CAN DO EITHER ON AE LINES OR ON BBS', DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF PROGRAM IT RUNS ON AND HOW IT SAVE FILES THAT ARE U/LED, WHAT YOU DO IS U/L A FILE THAT HAS THE SAME NAME AS ANOTHER VITAL FILE THAT IS USED IN THE OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM. THIS WILL THEN OVERWRITE THE OLD FILE OR WILL PLACE A DUPLICATE FILE ON THE SYSTEM. LIKE I SAID, THIS ALL DEPENDS ON THE SOFTWARE THAT THE BBS OR AE LINE IS RUN OFF OF. NOW HERE'S A LITTLE BIT ABOUT DATAPAC... DATAPAC IS A PUBLIC COMPUTER NETWORK THAT HAS THOUSANDS OF COMPUTERS HOOKED UP TO IT. THIS ALL SOUNDS GREAT, BUT HOW ARE YOU GOING TO USE IT. WELL FIRST LOOK UP IN THE TELEPHONE BOOK AND FIND THE PROPER DIAL UP NUMBER (IF YOU CAN;T FIND IT, LOOK UNDER DATAPAC). YOU'LL BE GIVEN 300 AND 1200 BAUD NUMBERS. YOU THEN PHONE THEM UP AND AFTER YOU HAVE CONNECTED, YOU TYPE IN "." AND HIT C/R, AND THAT'S IT, YOU ARE NOW ON-LINE. NOW SOME THINGS THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW IS THAT BY TYPING CTRL-P CLEAR AND THEN HITTING C/R, THIS WILL CLEAR YOU OF ANY MISTAKE OR LOG YOU OFF A SYSTEM AND BACK TO THE SAME PROMPT YOU HAD AT THE LOGON. A DATAPAC ADDRESS IS MADE UP OF 2 PARTS. THE FIRST IS A 4 DIGIT NUMBER THAT IS THE NODE AND THIS POINTS YOU TO A CITY, AND THEN ANOTHER 4 DIGIT NUMBER WHICH POINTS YOU TO A CERTAIN COMPUTER IN THAT NODE. SO AN EXAMPLE OF THIS WOULD BE 7440 0016 (THE SPACE IS NOT NEEDED) AND THIS POINT YOU TO UNB FREDRICTON N.B. OR 6920 0378 WILL LEAD YOU TO RED RIVER COMMUNITY COLLEGE. BUT WAIT, YOU ARE NOT LIMITED TO JUST DATAPAC, YOU CAN ALSO GET INTO THE US NETWORKS. IF YOU TRY THESE 2 ADDRESSES, 1311030300007 OR 1311030300008, THEY WILL TELL YOU WHAT THEY THINK OF HACKERS AND EXPLORERS. TO GET INTO ENVOY 100 TRY 39400100, 39400900, AND 89400100. SOME OTHER STUFF THAT MAY BE OF INTEREST ARE... 203-749-6622 0-16-1 DOCTOR'S ANSWERING MACHINE 615-562-3393 CREDIT CARD ORDER BBS 800-554-2265 BNK#=1067 MERC#=4252 MERCHANT CHECK 10=MASTERCARD 20=VISA HERE IS AN INTERESTING NUMBER THAT I FOUND OUT ONE DAY. THIS NUMBER IS IN THE 416 (TORONTO) AREA CODE. DIAL 997-8123 (VOICE) AND IT WILL TELL YOU WHAT YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBER IS. IN OTHER WORDS IT TRACES YOUR CALL.
