- Look for my next file; How to Raid Your Local Central Office.
-
- The first step in making a raid on any Bell office is finding its location.
- Generally, the bigger the metropolitan area, the more repair stations available
- for the picking. Repair stations are usually situated within or near residentia
- l areas. If you don't know where any are, here are two ways to find out.
-
- 1st: Call your Bell service representative and tell them that you are late
- paying your bill, and you would like to know where to go to pay it
- in person. Take down the address.
-
- 2nd: Drive around in neighborhoods until you find one.
- (Surprisingly, this works, I know of at least 5 I have found this way.)
-
- Once you have a location or address, you must determine if it is a CO or
- repair station. This is fairly simple. The following are the symptoms
- for each.
-
- Attributes for a CO (Central Office)
-
- 1. Is usually 2 stories in heighth.
- 2. Generally has a weird shape, resembling an inverted L atop another.
- 3. If you peer within the windows you will see rows of switching equipment.
- 4. Near the door entrance is a security keypad and doorbell.
-
- (If you feel you have found a CO you will just have to wait for my next
- file.)
-
- Attributes for a Repair Station
-
- 1. Small one story building.
- 2. Generally has a rectangular shape. (Longer than is wide.)
- 3. Extended behind it is some form of fence enclosing a parking area.
- 4. Often a large car port behind the building.
- 5. 15-30 Bell Vans, Cars, and Trucks.
-
- Once you have found a suitable repair station you must prepare yourself.
- The following is a list of equipment I have found to be quite useful.
-
- Equipment:
-
- Pair of gloves. (This is a must.)
- Snug, dark clothing. (Be sure your clothes are well
- fitted, loose garments tend
- to get snagged on barbed-wire
- fences.)
- Book Bag.
- Small flashlight.
- Crowbar or tire tool.
- Walkie-Talkies (Optional, but nice to have.)
- Bolt Cutters (O (Optional)
-
- The gloves are obvious, you do not want your prints spread all over the nation.
-
- Be sure to wear well fitting clothes, blue jeans and a dark t-shirt. Most of
- the time you will be jumping a barbed wire fence, and it makes it a LOT easier.
-
- The book bag is useful to put things in. Once inside you will find all sorts
- of manuals and paper-stuff that can get quite awkward to carry. Put it in here.
- One nice thing to go for are roll-a-dex and other phone-pads, they usually
- just leave these on their desks and they contain lots of good info.
-
- A flashlight is useful for seeing in the dark. Be sure not to point it at
- any windows.
-
- Crowbar or tire tools. Sometimes the doors to the building are locked.
- That's real easy to defeat with a crowbar. Either jimmy the lock or smash
- the window. Use your discretion.
-
- Walkie-talkies are useful if you and your partner are going to be in seperate
- parts of the office, letting each know whats going on is quite important.
-
- Bolt cutters are good for cutting the lock on the gates, if you do this,
- you can walk or drive your car right in, then shut the gate and no one
- will know. Also, if you are going to be carrying heavy equipment out
- (such as FAX machines, or Computers) it is much easier to cut the lock
- on the gate than it is to drop the equipment over it.
-
- Wire cutters are good because a lot of the time the fence surrounding the
- place is chain link, just cut a hole near a bush. Sometimes however
- the fence is made of brick. So that won't work all the time.
-
-
- How to Get In:
-
- Wait until 1am some night, (by then all the employees have gone home and
- most of the neighbors have gone to sleep) and either walk or drive to
- the station. I suggest you drive. When you get there park the car down the
- street and walk the rest of the way. There are 4 ways you can actually get
- into the station, here they are.
-
- 1. Throw the stuff over the fence and then climb it.
- 2. Hide in a bush and cut a hole in the fence and then go through.
- 3. Cut the lock on the gate, open it, go in, and close it.
- 4. Throw the stuff over the fence and crawl in under the gate.
- (A lot of the time the clearence between the bottom of the fence and
- the ground is enough to let even the fattest of criminals get in this
- way.)
-
- Once you are inside the fenced area, here is what to do.
-
- What to do once inside:
-
- 1st: If the primary purpose for your visit is to get into the trucks,
- do this. Obviously, check all the doors and windows. Be sure
- to make sure the vehicles do not have alarms, I have seen this
- rarely, but I have seen it. On the trucks all the doors are locked
- by a single lock, merely cut it off with the bolt cutters and turn
- the lever, and all the doors will unlock. The lock is located on
- the upper back, left or right side.
-
- Inside you can usually find handsets (beige boxes), phones, test sets.
- (And I mean the NICE kind) and other assorted odds and eds. The
- GOOD stuff is inside the building.
-
- 2nd: If you are going for the o.
- You will be facing the back of the office, and will see anywhere
- from 3 to 5 doors. Most of these are unlocked, but I'm sure some
- stations do lock them.
- Each room in the station has an exiting door, so that is why there
- are so many. Check each door and if you find one unlocked open it and
- go in. Once you get in look at the door and decide if you think it
- had an alarm on it, if it does, get out. However, a have NEVER
- scene an alarm in a bell station. If the door happens to be locked
- try prying it with the crowbar, if that doesn't work you can either
- smash the glass (which you will have to do in most cases if you can't
- jimmy it, OR, if you are lucky, the room you want to get in to
- MIGHT be the one that is interconnected with another, which I will
- explain in a moment.) Here is what you might find behind the
- respective doors:
-
- 1. Store Room
- In this room is contained extra equipment.
- I have found manuals, mini-tv's, radio's, first-aid kits,
- gloves, helmets, jumpsuits, phone lines, etc, just about
- any Bell odd and end, in the store rooms.
-
- 2. Break Room
- This is the break room, they ALWAYS have a coke-machine
- and a coffee-machine in there. I usually have worked
- up a sewat by then, so what I do is this: They have a coffee
- can with change in it, they are supposed to put a dime in
- everytime they get coffee. I just take the change and put
- 50 cents in the coke machine and take it easy for a few
- minutes. There is almost always nothing of interest
- in this room.
-
- 3. TTY & Printer Room
- This is a small room that contains a TTY and Printer (a larger
- version of the TTY) these were both made in about the 1800's
- and are too outdated for any phreaker/hacker use, however
- sometimes the printer is connected to a damn-nice modem.
-
- 4. Work Office
- This is where they come for assignment, there are desks
- in here, get the roll-a-dexes! There arew DOZENS of manuals
- explaining everythings from COSMOS to USOC. (Universal
- Service Order Code). They also have portable metal
- lockers here, they are easy to bust into and can contain
- anything.
-
- 5. Bathroom
- You can usually get into here from the break room. However
- there is ANOTHER door at the other end, somY{times the put
- an easily movable locker in front of it. The other door
- goes to the MAIN office (the one that is usually ALWAYS
- locked)
-
- 6. MAIN Office.
- This is the playroom. Here is what you can get from here.
- FAX Machines (If you can carr1.x it, TAKE IT, I did.)
- VCR's - TV's
- IBM Computers
- Printers (The normal kind)
- PASSWORDS!!! And, best of all, and what I am using to create this file;
- Zenith supersPORT Laptop computer.
- (Check this out)
- Fully portable, 640k. Backlit LCD, 2 3.5 drives, ram disk,
- CGA, internal HAYES 2400 baud modem, FULL size screen,
- I hate those piece of shit with 10 columns and 4 lines
- (Radio Shit, you SUCK)
- Anyway, they are damn nice, fully IBM compatible, and
- I *love* mine. They usually have 2 or 3 of these, too.
- So you and your friend dont have to fight over it.
-
- Take any of this stuff you want. A word about the passwords.
- The passwords are contained in A. manuals sitting next
- to the computers, B. on the system software.
- So, grab the manuals sitting near the computers, grab the
- computer (hope the software is in it), or just grab the
- software (check in the computer)
- If it is on disk, it is contained within a script file
- (sorry commodore, IBM) load it up on an IBM, (disconnect)
- the phone, (so it wont dial out), and copy down everything
- it dodes for later user. It will dial the particular
- computers access number, (COSMOS or LMOS) and then enter
- the passwords. Usually via MICROLINK II.
-
- Once you've got your goodies, how to get out.
-
- If you cut the lock on the gate, go out through the gate.
- If you cut a hole in the fence, go through it.
- If you jumped over, let a friend go over first, then hand it over.
-
-
- Well, I hope this has been an informative tutorial, those Zenith
- Laptops are the ULTIMATE hacking machines, believe me. These are
- tried and true methods here, I use them, I know they work.
-
- Raiding a station is merely common sense and the lack of Bell ingenuity.
- You would not believe how simple it is. One place was down the road
- from a Police Station, I was in it for 3 hours, did I get caught? Hell no.
-
- Look for my next file, Raiding your Local CO, and how you can gain
- new computers, phone lines, and other phun phone stuff for free.
