This will be readerselected and will not be altered in anyway. The
topics are listed below.Underworld BBS's (Hack, Phreak, Card, Anarchy, etc.)Hacking programs for Hayes compatablesHacking programs for 1030/Xm301 modemsModem scanners for Hayes compatablesModem scanners for 1030/Xm301 modemsOther type illegal programs You may add topics to the list if enough will support it.Tid Bits This will contain tips and helpful information sent in by the users.If you have any information you wish to contribute, then put it in a textfile and upload it to one of th
e BBS's listed at the end of thenewsletter. Please, no long distance codes, mainframe passwords, etc. We may add other sections as time goes by. This newsletter will notbe put out on a regular basis. It will be put out when we have enougharticles and information to put in it. There may be up to 5 a month, butthere will always be atleast one a month. We would like you, the readers,to send us anything you feel would be of interest to others, like hackinghints, methods of hacking long distance c
ompanies, companies to card from,etc. We will maintain the newsletter as long as the readers support it.That is the end of the introduction, but take a look at this newsletter,as it does contain information that may be of value to you.========================================================================== Hacking Sprint: The Easy Way-------------------------------------------------------------------------- By: Tracker If you hack US Sprin
t, 950-0777 (by the way it is no longer GTESprint), and you are fustrated at hacking several hours only to find oneor two codes, then follow these tips, and it will increase your resultsrtremendously. First, one thing that Mr. Mojo proved is that Sprint willnot store more than one code in every hundred numbers. (ex: 98765400 to98765499 may contain only one code). There may NOT be a code in thathundred, but there will never be more than one. Sprint's 9 digit codes are stored from 500000000 thr
ough 999999999.In the beginning of Sprint's 950 port, they only had 8 digit codes. Thenthey started converting to 9 digit codes, storing all 8 digit codesbetween 10000000 and 49999999 and all 9 digit codes between 500000000 and999999999. Sprint has since cancelled most 8 digit codes, although thereare a few left that have been denoted as test codes. Occaisionally, Ihear of phreaks saying they have 8 digit codes, but when verifying them,the codes were invalid. Now, where do you start? You hav
e already narrowed the low and highnumbers in half, therefore already increasing your chances of good resultsby 50 percent. The next step is to find a good prefix to hack. By theway, a prefix, in hacking terms, is the first digits in a code that can beany length except the same number of digits the code is. (ex: 123456789is a code. That means 1, 12, 123, 1234, 12345, 123456, 1234567, and12345678 are prefixes) The way you find a good prefix to hack is tomanually enter a code prefix.A1%@:!9~you en
ter the code prefix and avalid destination number and you do not hear the ringing of the recordingtelling you that the code is invalid until near the end of the number,then you know the prefix is valid. Here is a chart to follow when doingthis:Code - Destination Range good codes exist-------------------------------------------------123456789 - 6192R 123400000 - 123499999123456789 - 619267R 123450000 - 123459999123456789 - 61926702R 123456000 - 123456999123456789 -
6192670293R 123456700 - 123456799-------------------------------------------------( R - Denotes when ring for recording starts) To prove this true, I ran a test using OmniHack 1.3p, written byJolly Joe. In this test I found a prefix where the last 3 digits were allI had to hack. I tested each hundred of the 6 digit prefix finding thatall but 4 had the ring start after the fourth digit was dialed in thedestination number. The other four did not ring until I had finished theentire code.
I set OmniHack to hack the prefix + 00 until prefix + 99.(ex: xxxxxxy00 to xxxxxxy99: where y is one of the four numbers that thering did not start until the dialing was completed.) Using this method, Ifound four codes in a total of 241 attempts using ascending hacking (AKA:Sequential). Below you will see a record of my hack:Range of hack Codes found Tries----------------------------------------------xxxxxx300 - xxxxxx399 xxxxxx350 50xxxxxx500 - xxxxxx599 xxxxxx568
68xxxxxx600 - xxxxxx699 xxxxxx646 46xxxxxx800 - xxxxxx899 xxxx(xfn:~ 77----------------------------------------------Totals 4 codes 241 As you see, these methods work. Follow these guidlines and tips andyou should have an increase in production of codes in the future hackingSprint. Also, if you have any hints/tips you think others could benefitfrom, then type them up and upload them to one of the boards at the end ofthe newsletter.=========
================================================================= Rumors: Why Spread Them?-------------------------------------------------------------------------- By: Tracker Do you ever get tired of hearing rumors? You know, someone gets anurge to impress others, so they create a rumor that some long distancecompany is now using tracing equipment. Why start rumors? It only scaresothers out of phreakin'X79#"C9j[J=+1DE5.\\7n who started
therumor, look like Mr. Big. This article is short, but it should make youaware of the rumors that people spread for personal gain. The best thingto do is to denote them as a rumor starter and then leave it at that. Youshould not rag on them constantly, since if the other users cannotdetermine if it is fact or rumor, then they should suffer theconsequences.========================================================================== The New Sprint FON Calling Cards-------------
------------------------------------------------------------- By: Tracker US Sprint has opened up a new long distance network called the FiberOptic Network (FON), in which subscribers are given calling cards. Thesecalling cards are 14 digits, and though, seem randomly generated, they areactually encrypted. The rumors floating around about people gettingcaught using the Sprint FON calling cards are fact, not rumors. Thereason people are getting caught is that they
confuse the FON callingcards with the local 950 port authorization codes. If you will remember,you never use AT&T calling cards from you home phone. It has ANIcapability, which is not tracing, but rather the originating phone numberis placed on the bill as soon as the call is completed. They know yourphone number when you call the 800 access port, but they do not record ituntil your call is completed. Also, through several of my hacks, I cameup with some interesting information surrounding the n
ew Sprint network.They are listed below.800-877-0000 This number is for information on US Sprint's 800 calling cardservice. I have not played around with it, but I believe it is fortrouble or help with the FON calling cards. I am not sure if it is forsubscribing to the FON network.800-877-0002 - You hear a short tone, then nothing.800-877-0003 - US Sprint Alph %M#++$$LC800-877-(0004-0999) When you call these numbers, you get a recording saying: "Welcome toUS Sprint's 1 plus service
." When the recording stops, if you hit thepound key (#) you will get the calling card dial tone.Other related Sprint numbers800-521-4949 This is the number that you subscribe to US Sprint with. You mayalso subscribe to the FON network on this number. It will take 4 to 5weeks for your calling card to arrive.10777 This is US Sprint's equal access number. When you dial this number,you then dial the number you are calling, and it will be billed through USSprint, and you will rec%%"!+%
Ib=s distance line for that call. Notethat you will be billed for calls made through equal access. Do notmistake it to be a method of phreaking, unless used from a remotelocation. If you are in US Sprint's 1+ service then call 1+700-555-1414, whichwill tell you which long distance company you are using. When you hear:"Thank you for choosing US Sprint's 1 plus service," hit the pound key(#), and then you will get the US Sprint dial tone. This however is justthe same as if you are calling from
your home phone if you dial direct, soyou would be billed for calls made through that, but there are ways to usethis to your advantage as in using equal access through a PBX.========================================================================== @,AA$(][6atic Number Identification (ANI)-------------------------------------------------------------------------- By: Tracker The true definition for Automatic Number Identification has not beenwidely known
to many. Automatic Number Identification, (AKA: ANI), is theprocess of the destination number knowing the originating number, which iswhere you are calling from. The method of achieving this is to send thephone number that you are calling from in coded form ahead of thedestination number. Below is an example of this.ANI MethodDial: 267-0293Sent: ********2670293 * - Denotes the originating number which is coded and sent before the number As you noticed there are 8 digits in the coded
number. This isbecause, atleast I believe, it is stored in a binary-like form. AutomaticNumber Identification means a limited future in phreaking. ANI does notthreaten phreaking very much yet, but it will in the near future. A newswitching system will soon be installed in most cities that are covered byESS, Electronic Switching System, now. The system will have ANIcapabilities which will be supplied to the owners of phone lines as anadded extra. The owner's phone will have an LED read-out that
will showthe phone number of the people that call you. You will be able to blocksome numbers, so that people cannot call you. This system is in thetesting stages currently, but will soon be installed across most of thecountry. As you see, this will end a large part of phreaking, until we,the phreakers, can come up with an alternative. As I have been told byseveral, usually reliable, people, this system is called ISS, which I amnot sure of the meaning of this, and is being tested currently in Rhod
eIsland. 800 in-watts lines set up by AT&T support ANI. The equipment todecode an ANI coded origination number does not costs as much as you wouldexpect. 950 ports do not offer ANI capability, no matter what you havebeen told. The 950 ports will only give the city in which they are based,this usually being the largest in the state, sometimes the capitol. One last thing that I should tell you is that ANI is not related totracing. Tracing can be done on any number whether local, 950, etc.
Oneway around this, especially when dialing Alliance TeleConferencing, is todial through several extenders or ports. ANI will only cover the numberthat is calling it, and if you call through a number that does not supportANI, then your number will never be known.========================================================================== The Disclaimer!-------------------------------------------------------------------------- We, the editors, take no responsibility
