'Lock in Trace.' +For a long time, it was impossible to escape from the lock in trace. This box +does offer and escape route with simple directions to it.

For those +of you who are not familiar with the concept of 'locking in', then here's a +brief description. + The F.B.I. can tap into a conversation, sort of like a three-way call +connection. Then, when they get there, they can plug electricity into the +phone line. All phone connections are held open by a certain voltage of elec- +tricity, that is why you sometimes get static and faint connections when you +are calling far away, because the electricity has trouble keeping the line up. +What the lock in trace does is cut into the line and generate that same +voltage straight into the lines. That way, when you try and hang up, voltage +is retained. Your phone will ring just like someone was calling you even +after you hang up. (If you have call waiting, you should understand better +about that, for call waiting intercepts the electricity and makes a tone that +means someone is going through your line. Then, it is a matter of which +voltage is higher. When you push down the receiver, then it see-saws the +electricity to the other side. When you have a person on each line it is im- +possible to hang up unless one or both of them will hang up. If you try to +hang up, voltage is retained, and your phone will ring. That should give you +an understanding of how calling works. Also, when electricity passes through +a certain point on your phone, the electricity causes a bell to ring or on +some newer phones an electronic ring to sound. + So, in order to eliminate the trace, you somehow must lower the voltage +level on your phone line. You should know that every time someone else picks +up the phone line, then the voltage does decrease a little. In the first +steps of planning this out, Xerox suggested getting about a hundred phones all +hooked into the same line that could all be taken off the hook at the same +time. That would greatly decrease the voltage level. That is also why most +three-way connections that are using the bell service three way calling (which +is only $3 a month) become quite faint after a while. + By now, you should understand the basic idea. You have to drain all of +the power out of the line so the voltage can not be kept up. A rather sudden +draining of power could quickly short out the F.B.I. voltage machine, because +it was only built to sustain the exact voltage necessary to keep the voltage +out. + For now, imagine this. One of the normal Radio Shack generators that you +can go pick up that one end of the cord that hooks into the central box has a +phone jack on it and the other has an electrical plug. This way, you can +"flash" voltage THROUGH the line, but can't drain it. So, some modifications +have to be done. + + MATERIALS NEEDED- a BEOC (Basic Electrical Output Socket), like a small lamp + type connection, where you just have a simple plug and wire + that would plug into a light bulb. + - One of the cords mentioned above, if you can't find one + then construct your own; same voltage connection, but the + restrainer must be built in (i.e. the central box) + - TWO phone jacks (one for the modem, one for if you are + being traced to plug the aqua box into) + - Some creativity and easy work. + + NOTICE: No phones have to be destroyed/modified to make this box, so don't go + out and buy a new phone for it! + + All right, this is a very simple procedure. If you have the BEOC, it +could drain into anything, a radio, or whatever. The purpose of having that +is you are going to suck the voltage out from the phone line into the electri- +cal appliance so there would be no voltage left to lock you in with. + +1) Take the connection cord. Examine the plug at the end. It should have + only two prongs, if it has three, still, do not fear. MAKE SURE THE ELEC- + TRICAL APPLIANCE IS TURNED OFF unless you wanna become a crispy critter + while making this thing. Most plugs will have a hard plastic design on the + top of them to prevent you from getting in at the electrical wires inside. + Well, get a knife and remove it. If you want to keep the plug (I don't see + why...) then just cut the top off. When you look inside, low and behold, + you will see that at the base of the prongs there are a few wires connect- + ing in. Those wires conduct the power into the appliance. So, you care- + fully unwrap those from the sides and pull them out until they are about an + inch ahead of the prongs. If you don't wanna keep the jack, then just rip + the prongs out. If you are, cover the prongs with insulation tape so they + will not connect with the wires when the power is being drained from the + line. + +2) Do the same thing with the prongs on the other plug, so you have the wires + evenly connected.

The computer will then automatically try to +locate the calling card users (working on the presumption +that only one calling card is usually being used at a time), +and detect the kind of conversation. The computer will +[Bold Underlined] not tape any voice conversations, it will +merely register the kind of conversation, being it voice, +data or other. +This information will be stored in a record and the original +owner of the calling card will be contacted and asked if +permission has been given, if that is not the case AT&T will +take legal actions towards the abusers. + +AT&T Hopes this will reduce the abuse of the AT&T calling +cards, and benefit our customers. + +CMR is planned to be introduced in February 1994. + +Detailed information concerning the CMR is available upon +request to executives with proper authority. + + +AT&T Technical director, Jonathan Biss + [signature] + +--------- + +[ Bush: Well, fellow CC users, this is not good, assuming this +will go in order it seems AT&T will be able to match, and +then trace any call and its contents, as we all know, there +are few CC's and a LOTS of users, and if anybody are using +the same CC at one time..BANG. But if we handle this with +care, it wont mean to much. As we all know, Ripco is the +leading BBS (Nice to see you're in business again), +thus TGH has decided that Ripco shall be the place were we +discuss this. As we know, Ripco has one of the tightest +validations schemes, yet over 400 users, with regular +number bulletins, we are currently working on a system which +will make you, the users of Ripco safe from CMR, provided +everybody follows the rules. Further information concerning +this will start appearing at Ripco during the next few +months, so if you are not registered at Ripco we cant help +you.

Bill has been an AT&T owner/user since + September, 1985. He uses the computer for business, engineering and + scientific applications. Through his business, Bill does computer + conversions and sells accelerator boards. He has been working on + several upgrades to the PC6300, which he has designated the + Mark 8, Mark 10, and Mark 11.5. They were developed as inexpensive + alternatives for increasing the performance of the 6300, using an + integrated approach, combining both software and hardware changes. + These include the installation of an NEC V-30 microprocessor; new DMA, + bus controller and timer chips as necessary; and software that moves + the ROM BIOS and hard disk BIOS into RAM, and also changes the memory + refresh rate. + + Bill explained that the AT&T 6300 is assembled with parts that meet + specification, but they are not "dynamically optimized". Some + motherboards may have the same revision letter but still use different + + The systems are tested before conversion to check relative + performance. The soldered-in chips are professionally removed, and + sockets are installed. Then high speed componentry is installed. If + it all meets spec, the software is added. The system is then tested + for final benchmarks. As part of the conversion process, any + deficiencies in hard disk setup are found and corrected, and several of + the modifications are specifically designed to increase hard disk + throughput. + + The Mark 8 conversion is available now at $225.00, and Bill claims a + typical benchmark speed increase of about 20% with actual throughput + approximately doubled (depending on application and hard disk). Both + the Mark 10 and the Mark 11.5 conversions are under development, + probably due in mid-March. + + The Mark 10 conversion, which is planned to increase throughput by a + factor of approximately 7 times, will go for an estimated $500.00. + The systems have a 1 year parts and labor warranty. The conversion can + be done on site, but it normally takes 7-10 working days to do a + conversion when you ship the unit to his shop. Contact Bill Todd for + shipping details. In the near future the data can be downloaded from a + the mailing list or for more information. + + Bruce MacKenzie from SOTA spoke about the SOTA Mothercard 5.0A. He + briefly explained EMS, EEMS, and protected mode operation with an + 80286 system, and how these hardware features will affect a user's + ability to run new software and operating systems. The main features + of the SOTA card are: + + 1) full compatibility with the AT&T 6300, standard DOS applications, + and networks; 2) the ability to run OS/2 and other protected mode + systems, such as ORACLE; 3) the ability to access up to 16 Mbytes of + extended memory (non-paged) 16-bit RAM; and 4) a significant speed + increase due to the 80286 microprocessor. The "A" version of the + Mothercard 5.0 was designed specifically for the PC6300 to meet the + requirements of several large government agencies. Installation + involves the running of a specially designed 2.2 ft. impedance matched + shielded cable from the SOTA card to the 8086 socket on the bottom of + the 6300 motherboard, and transferring the 8086 to the new card. + + Bruce demonstrated the operation of IBM OS/2 on a 6300 with the SOTA + card installed. One of the neat tricks that SOTA has come up with + is a programmable AT ROM BIOS to keep up with whatever tricks + machines. The card runs at 10 Mhz, with a 12.5 MHz version + in the works. With a 10 Mhz SOTA card installed, a PC6300 runs + about 20% faster than an 8 MHz IBM AT. At the moment, switching + between 80286 and 8086 mode requires a re-boot. + + In 80286 mode, original PC6300 memory is used only by utility software + -- normal program operation takes place in the SOTA card's own RAM. + There is a spare connector on the card that SOTA intends to use for + connection to a 16-bit hard disk controller card they will manufacture. + List price: $895 for the 10 MHz card, $995 for the 12.5 MHz version + (a 10% discount is available to User Group members through Todd PC3). + + SOTA Technology, Inc. 657 N.

Take a + look! + + + USER GROUP TECH-TIPS #6 + L.J.(Larry)Risner + AT&T Tech Staff + *********************** + + A major concern of computer owners today is how to upgrade their + current CPU and retain as much of their investment as is possible. In + this article I will attempt to describe some of the benefits of + "adding a system to a system" as well as some of the trade-offs one + should consider. The boards being discussed here are the i80286 & + i80386 processor boards that can be inserted into the bus in the CPU + housing. + + First consider the starting point, your existing CPU. If it is an + AT&T PC (I am assuming for this discussion that it is an AT&T PC), the + basic CPU meets the first test with flying colors - an adequate power + supply. The power supply in the PC6300 is rated at 170 watts, which + will support even the most demanding peripheral. + + What board fits the bus? The PC6300 as well as the PC6300+ will + accept PC/XT compatible boards, but not AT style boards. The 6310, + 6312 and 6386 will accept PC/XT boards, and also AT style boards. + Refer to your user's manual to determine your bus configuration. + + What will the board do for me? Perhaps the best way to think of an + "add-on" board is to consider your original system as an input/output + device for another computer. That is, all activity to and from the + added CPU, regardless of how fast it is, will be to and from your + existing system and peripherals (by the way, the biggest bottleneck for + a CPU is it's storage media). + + So there you are. Adding a board will give you a much more powerful + CPU that is "wrapped" by your existing hardware. This may not be + at all bad depending on your reasons for adding the CPU. If all you + want is more horsepower and you are using applications that don't + utilize a lot of disk access then this may be for you. However, if you + are into something that moves a lot of information around and through + the bus, then you may want to consider a unit that is totally faster, a + new machine - the decision is yours. Here is a small list of + comparisons: + + ADD-ON BOARD + + Memory - Limited to on-board space (4-16M max - typical) + Power Supply - Original PC unit + Speed - Accelerator board increase only (not entire system) + Peripherals - Limited by bus design + + NEW MACHINE + + Memory - Limited by bus slots (16-48M max - typical) + Power Supply - Large capacity to support added memory + and peripheral requirements + Speed - Higher performance bus and peripherals are in support of CPU. + Peripherals - Total adaptability (except 32 bit slots, which differ by + manufacturer) + + + FILE MANAGERS + Kevin Newman + ************* + + (editors note: At the time Kevin was writing this, things looked + pretty sad for newsletter contributions from members. However, in the + last several weeks, articles have started to come in, and we hope this + is a trend. Otherwise, I heartily endorse what Kevin is saying here.) + + It's been 7 month since my last "monthly" article. The reason I have + started this article in this manner (which is supposed to be + about file managers), is that I am trying to show that I understand + why so few of YOU have never sent in an article, come up with a + program for the meeting, or offered to help with any of the many things + which need to be done to keep the User Group going. It is a pain to + try and write these things when you aren't a writer (7 months between + articles indicates how difficult this is for me, and when compounded + by inherent laziness -- poof! -- 7 months). + +- But try and think of what Ed has to go through to get the newsletter + out by himself, and my laziness (and maybe yours) is rather a weak + excuse. What I am trying to say is that I have been rather surprised + at the lack of enthusiasm that people show when asked to volunteer for + any type of position in the group (such as the "enthusiasm" we all + showed when Joe asked for volunteers for group Secretary). + + Now, I am not the one to criticize. I volunteered all right, but have + produced less than nothing when compared to the fact that just a few + individuals are shouldering most of the work (we all know who they + are). What I am trying to say is, we as a group will only survive if + we work as a group. Now that I've said my piece, I'll get down off my + soapbox and cover file managers. + + Have you ever looked at the multitude of files on your hard disk and + thought to yourself "What a mess?". Well, if so, you are in need of a + file manager. A file manager is a utility that allows you to do the + basic and not so basic manipulations that we all have to do to keep our + hard disks organized and have some space left over. + + One quick side note: so far I have only talked about using file + managers on your hard disk, the reason being that with the current low + price of hard disks I don't know of anyone other than laptop users +- without a hard disk in their computer (and the 720k floppies in + laptops could use a file manager). + + It is true that DOS gives us ways to keep everything organized, but + what happens when you have a directory with 240 files in it and you + only want to delete certain ones (and you have to decide which ones to + delete)? This is where the file manager comes in. There are a large + number of different file managers that are available, but all do + basically the same things with some doing a bit more than others. In + the next few paragraphs I will discuss the basic functions of most + file managers. + + One of the most powerful feature included in almost all file managers + is a concept known as "tagging". The idea behind tagging is to mark + specific files within a group allowing you to manipulate all of these + "tagged" files as you require (i.e. delete, copy, move). Since most + file managers display all files in a directory in two, three, or more + columns, "tagging" files as you move the cursor across the file + listing is quite an easy task. + + Another powerful feature of file managers is the ability to sort files + so that you may look at them in different ways, such as sorted by + date, extension, attribute and other sort keys. +- + One feature that I use quite often is the "move" command. This + command performs a pseudo file copy, but instead of actually copying + the file to the destination (i.e. different directory), simply + performs a rename in the File Allocation Table, effectively + "moving" the file to the new location by assigning a new pathname + to the file (the actual physical location of the data on the + disk is unchanged). There is one limitation to this command: + it can only move files on the same physical device (i.e. files + can be "moved" to a different directory on one hard disk, or on a + floppy, but not from a hard disk to a floppy). + + I realize that this has been a rather brief article but you can't + imagine the agony of just getting this out. Hopefully as I continue + to write, this will become easier. + + (Kevin Newman is our Public Domain software librarian, and a + knowledgeable source on available programs that make life easier for + computer users. I would like to add two of my favorite file manager + functions to his list. The "look" function (or "browse", or "scan") + allows you to make a quick check of the contents of a file without + having to call up the application that created the file. Also, most + file managers give you the ability to "rename" a file simply and + easily from the file listing. -ed) + + + COMPATIBLE HARDWARE + Thomas Herzfeld + ******************* + + KEYTRONICS KB5151 KEYBOARD. This keyboard is available as an + alternative to the AT&T standard keyboard, which does not provide a + separate numerical keypad and arrow keys. It is cabled to use the + standard AT&T keyboard input port, and behaves exactly like the AT&T + keyboard. The touch is excellent. Drawbacks include lack of a mouse + port and a small carriage return key. The former makes it necessary + to use the serial port for mice (see below) and the latter problem has + generated more typos than any intoxicant. The function keys are + placed across the top of the keyboard, which means that the standard + templates provided with most programs will not fit. Special templates + for the KB5151 are readily available for WordPerfect, and no doubt for + other programs. + + LOGITECH C7 MOUSE. I just obtained the latest version of this best of + all mice. Logitech has eliminated the external power supply, so all + you have to do is plug it in to the serial port and load the software. + The touch is excellent, and the editor provided continues to improve. + The mouse can be configured to run on COM1 or COM2, which is more than + can be said for the 6300's serial port. + + AST RAMPAGE BOARD (STANDARD VERSION). I was unable to obtain the AT&T + version of this board, because no one would acknowledge its existence + in 1986, so I bought the 8-bit bus version. It works perfectly, and I + don't know how I got along without it. It may be slower than the 16 + bit version, but I have not been bothered by any sluggishness using it + as a virtual hard disk. + + A NOTE REGARDING THE 6300 SERIAL PORT. It is hard-wired as COM1. + This becomes a major flaw when you have an internal modem which you + want configured as COM1. As a result of this glitch, I now own both an + internal modem and an external modem. The external modem is connected + to the serial port via an A-B switch, so that I can use either the + external modem or the mouse. Fortunately, I have not needed both at + the same time. + + + VIRUS EPIDEMIC? + Joe Mahoney + *************** + A microbiologist, I read with interest the reports on virus problems + with PC's. You've heard of these nasty items -- known also as Trojan + Horses, worms, logic bombs -- tiny (a few hundred bytes) programs or + segments that invade your diskettes or disks (!) and secretly + replicate, eventually wrecking or erasing your data, interrupting + entire systems, or perhaps only flashing a surprise message ("Peace or + Earth" or the like, or worse) on the monitor. + + The San Francisco Chronicle (2-12-88) covered a MacIntosh virus that + was spread through "infected" files on CompuServe and GEnie (hypercard + application files, system files). The virus creator bragged that this + group had worked on the virus for over a year! John Dvorak (PC + Magazine) describes virus concerns and mentions the celebrated Lehigh + University virus -- computing center students at that college found + viruses widely spread throughout their public domain diskette library + in December 87. Earlier, AMIGA users got an infection through altered + boot or system files on application software diskettes. + + Publications and industry spokespersons have been reluctant to cover + this area, fearing that publicity will invite problems and ever more + diabolical and creative sabotage. Software developers and university + researchers are scrambling to find ways to detect viruses and write + utility programs, but the wicked hackers will always strive to outsmart + 'em. Security and protection of data -- personal or corporate or + government -- is at stake... part of our right to privacy, no? + + What do we do to protect ourselves? + + The choices now are few. First, wear your protect tabs ("safe- + computing" as Dvorak calls it) to prevent unexpected program segments + being written to your floppies. Viruses spread from machine to + machine within a file on a floppy or perhaps through E-mail or BBS + systems. Once programmed into a COMMAND.COM or other executable file, + you may unknowingly replicate them -- a write protect precaution will + alert you when a harmless copy, dir, or type command gives a write + protect error. + + Back-up your files frequently. If you discover an infection you may + still have "safe" files in reserve. (We do this routinely anyway, + right?) + + Dvorak and others tell us to keep an eye on the date/time labels on + files. COMMAND.COM, and other .COM or .EXE files do NOT get updated + frequently...you could print-screen and save to refer back to this data + periodically. Some writers say to keep an eye on file size (bytes) -- + system files should not change size unexpectedly. Dvorak says size is + not a good check as most viruses are small. + + Be a little reluctant to take personal diskettes into the workplace and + chose your software carefully. Trading programs and diskettes is a + popular but risky business. One peninsula computer store claims they + got a virus when a customer brought a game disk in to try on some of + their computers! + + Yes, "safe-computing": use prophylaxis, and know your files and + friends! + + - Joe Mahoney + + + APRIL MEETING (S.F.) + Barry Newman + ******************** + + There will be a presentation at the April meeting by D.R.I.

For example, try to get + two floppy drives and a hard disk operating on a 6300. Not an + inconvenient arrangement for other machines, it is for the 6300. We + must install a hard disk on a card, or an external unit, typically at + greater cost than would be the case for a standard-mount hard disk of + similar performance. + + If AT&T had decided to provide the PC6300 and PC6300+ with industry + standard 16-bit peripheral slots, instead of the AT&T proprietary + design, there would be a lot more 16-bit peripherals that would + support the AT&T machines. As it is, there are very few products + designed to take advantage of the wider data channels available on + these computers. + + With AT&T's recent decision to discontinue the 6300, we can probably + expect even fewer new products that will specifically support it. + However, there are products out there that do utilize the special + features of the AT&T machines, and we will continue to report them as + they come to our attention. + + Memory cards are an interesting case study. AT&T sells an "Enhanced + Memory Board", manufactured by AST, that uses the special AT&T 16-bit + bus on the 6300 and 6300+, and has excellent performance. It is a good + product, but it is relatively expensive, and it can only be used on an + 6300 or the 6300+ (not even the 6310/6312 can use it). Memory boards + that utilize AT compatible 16-bit slots are not compatible due to the + bus design. + + Many PC/XT memory boards that use the standard 8-bit slot are + compatible with the AT&T machines, but you are limited in performance + due to the narrower data path and lower clock speed on the 8-bit + peripheral bus (4MHz). Of course, many of us have opted for the AT&T + board, or for one of the many 8-bit memory boards, and have been very + happy with the results (big RAM-disks, print spoolers, disk caches, + swapping programs in and out of EMS memory or even multi-tasking on a + PC6300 with DESKview). + + Along comes Computer Peripherals, Inc. (CPI) and produces a memory + board called RAMSACK. This is a hybrid product that has the standard + 8-bit PC bus connector, the 16-bit AT bus connector, and the 16-bit + AT&T bus connector. Therefore, it works in 8-bit mode on a PC/XT + compatible machine, in 16-bit mode on an AT compatible machine, and in + 16-bit mode on a PC6300. It was originally designed to work also on a + 6300+, but that did not work out (CPI claims AT&T changed technical + specifications on the 6300+ after it was too late for them to re- + engineer their board). + + There are a minimal number of jumpers and DIP switches to check on the + board, mostly of concern if you are going to install more than one + RAMSACK board, but for the installation of one board, the entire + installation setup is done through software that is run from a floppy + disk. The setup information is then stored in non-volatile RAM. + One unusual and necessary trick to the installation, that is not made + clear anywhere in the manual, is that to install the RAMSACK for the + 16-bit bus on an AT&T machine, you must run the installation program + while the board is plugged into an 8-bit slot. When the installation + program is complete, you then shut down the computer and transfer the + board to a 16-bit slot. This information had to be obtained from a + phone call to CPI technical support. They were very helpful, but such + a major omission in the manual was not an encouraging omen. + + There were two main reasons that I wanted additional memory beyond the + 640K already on the main board. The first was to be able to run a + large disk cache without eating into DOS memory. With the RAMSACK + memory board, this has worked out wonderfully. I use the cache + program from MACE utilities (a licensed version of Golden Bow VCACHE), + and it has resulted in a very substantial decrease in effective disk + access times, as the cache program typically finds approximately 85% of + requested data in the cache, and therefore only about 15% of disk reads + actually go to the hard disk. There is also a smaller saving in disk + writes, by ignoring duplicate data. + + The cache operates slightly slower using EMS memory, as compared to the + same size cache in standard DOS memory. The "paging" requirements of + EMS memory exact a slight penalty here. One important note: the + newest version of MACE utilities uses a different cache program that + does not recognize the EMS memory on RAMSACK (so far, neither MACE nor + CPI has come up with a satisfactory explanation). + + The second reason for the extra memory was to be able to swap programs + in and out of expanded memory -- allowing an entire application (and + all its data) to stay resident in expanded memory while another + application runs in DOS memory -- and then be able to switch back and + forth between applications. There are several programs available that + accomplish this -- the one I use is the shell program from WordPerfect + Library. So far, the program recognizes the extra memory and utilizes + it correctly when I manually "exit to shell" from an application -- + that application is then swapped to expanded memory, and I am able to + utilize the full 640K of DOS memory for another application (less any + TSR programs, and the resident portion of the shell program and the + disk cache). The actual swapping takes place in less than a second, + which is tremendously quicker than saving your data, exiting one + application and then starting up a new one. + + However, I have run into problems when I attempt to use a "hot-key" to + switch applications, which is supposed to work, and works on other + identical systems. When I contacted WordPerfect about the "hot-key" + problem, they said they would obtain a RAMSACK board, put it in an + PC6300 and try to find a fix. A plug for WordPerfect product support - + - they are the best I have ever encountered -- they don't just mutter + something about hardware incompatibility, they actually seem to have an + interest in getting things to work right, and they are well acquainted + with AT&T machines. + + The RAMSACK board with 2 MBytes sells for $450 to $600 retail (I don't + have the actual list price), but I have seen it priced as low as $175 + with 0K installed ($165 in quantity). The board comes with software + for a print spooler, RAM-disk, and disk cache (for diskettes only). + They do not provide a hard disk cache. CPI also includes a SIDEKICK- + like collection of desktop utilities which I haven't tried because it + duplicates many of the functions I am already using with WordPerfect + Library. + + The RAM-disk can be varied in size, but I ran up against a 64 file + limit, regardless of the amount of memory allocated for the RAM-disk. + Fortunately, the DOS RAMDRIVE.SYS recognizes and uses the RAMSACK EMS + memory, and can be set for a maximum of 1,024 root directory entries + (DOS 3.2). The RAMSACK board come in various standard configurations + with up to 4 Mbytes of memory (with a plug-in daughterboard). + There are DIP switch settings to allow unique memory addresses + for up to four boards (if you have the slots). + + The RAMSACK memory can be used to "back-fill" conventional memory up + to 640K, or as LIM compatible expanded memory (paged), or as extended + memory (non-paged) on an AT compatible system. CPI plans to have LIM + 4.0 software emulation available sometime in the second quarter. The + board comes with a two year warranty. + + Computer Peripherals, Inc. 2635 Lavery Court #5, Newbury Park, Ca + (800) 854-7600 (outside Calif.) (818) 710-1717 (inside Calif.) + + + SERVICE/PARTS EXCHANGE + ********************** + + Last month, we reported some rather remarkable exchange parts prices + available through the AT&T Service Center in San Leandro. Some members + called, and received substantially different (and higher) price quotes + over the phone. The problem was not that the prices were wrong -- the + telephone number was wrong. We inadvertently published the number + for the Data Services Organization (AT&T DSO) in Oakland, not the San + Leandro Service Center. + + All the DSO service depots (there are several in the Bay Area) look up + their prices on a common data base, and whatever price is shown is what + they have to charge. The Service Center in San Leandro is a separate + organization within AT&T and has a totally different pricing structure, + and since the last newsletter, they have reduced their prices. The + AT&T Parts Hotline will also arrange parts exchanges, and they have yet + another pricing structure. + + As an example, to replace a PC6300 motherboard through the Parts + Hotline, you will end up paying something like $1,100, depending on + the model of the motherboard and amount of RAM installed (that price + includes a small exchange value for your old board). If you were to + make the exact same exchange through a DSO location, the cost would be + in the neighborhood of $500, again depending on model and amount of + RAM. If you take your old board to the counter at the San Leandro + Service Center, the cost will be $101.00 plus a $10 handling charge, + for any PC6300 model. + + Now this price does not apply if you bring in the whole computer and + have them look for the problem, remove the board, make the repairs, + and put everything back together again. That process could very well + cost you around $500. Also, they do not just give you a new board in + exchange. You need to leave your board there, and they will attempt to + repair it. + + If it can't be repaired, you will be given an exchange board. Either + way, it's the same price. And the board you get back will have all + the latest revisions (including ROM BIOS updates). You won't get a + 640K board back if you give them 256K, and you won't get a CPU-3 if + you give them a CPU1-A, but otherwise it will be completely updated + (unless you request that it not be). + + The Service Center is located at 2200 William Street, at the corner of + Doolittle, in San Leandro. Their telephone number is (415) 678-1300 + (that's the correct number this time). Business hours are + 8 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday. + + They will also accept UPS shipment, but you must contact them + by telephone prior to shipping. + So far, they are set up only for repairs on the PC6300 (and PC6300+). + + Here are some more examples of their exchange prices: Keyboard + ($35.11 + $2.00 handling); ANY supported hard disk, 10 or 20 Mbytes + ($95.56 + $10.00 handling); power supply ($42.11 + $2.00); video card + ($89.38 + $2.00); HD controller card ($44.24 + $2.00). Thanks again to + Dave Ralston, who is the supervisor for the computer repair group at + the service center. + + In upcoming issues, we will look into the services provided by the DSO + depots, and the various AT&T Hotlines. If you can pinpoint your + computer problems down to the board level, and feel comfortable with + removing and reinstalling components in your machine, the San Leandro + Service Center prices can't be beat. If you need someone else to + handle more of the job for you, the DSO depots may be more convenient + and may be somewhat closer in price for the same work performed at the + main service center. However, Dave Ralston and his group may be hard + to beat.

Mark Almeida (ASK THE WIZ) describes the +installation of a 64MB drive (using RLL). Reader David Calabrese +added a second hard disk (a 72MB external drive), and discusses +some basic procedures, including the use of DISK MANAGER +formatting and setup software. Larry Risner's TECH TIPS covers +hard drive format procedures using AT&T's menu-driven LOWFORM +utility. Larry has also provided us with a list of AT&T +supported hard drives,along with drive specifications and DIP +switch settings for various machine and ROM BIOS versions. Bill +Todd casts a vote for Steve Gibson's SPINRITE program (as does +Mark Almeida). Barry Newman discusses the installation of the +GEM operating system for a user base of 450. Joe Mahoney covers +a little bit of everything in his monthly PRESIDENT'S BITS column +- please read for a discussion of bylaws changes and information +on elections. + +UPDATES AND CORRECTIONS +*********************** + +Last month, we discussed how to use the echo command to change +screen appearance (using the format: echo ^[[nn;nn;nnm). We +said that you had to include quotation marks around the escape +sequence - that is incorrect. It will work with the quotes, but +they are not needed, and the results are cleaner without the +quotes. Larry Risner reports that the new VDC 750 video card +(AT&T graphics/CGA/EGA) WILL work on any 6300 that has been +correctly modified to run EGA, but that it WILL NOT support DEB +functions, as was stated in the original documentation. Next +month, we will concentrate on video and display issues, including +a complete review of the current situation with add-on video +boards, particularly EGA cards. + +OMISSIONS +********* + +Last month, Bill Todd of TODD-PC3 in San Jose gave a high +resolution graphics demo on a 6300 with a resolution of 1280 x +800 monochrome on an AMDEK 14" monitor. This performance +requires the 11.43 ROM BIOS and replacement of the video display +chip. Bill can be contacted at (408) 263-8925 + +MAY MEETING RECAP +***************** +Joe Mahoney + +The May meeting was a full evening's exposure to a variety of +hardware, networking, and connectivity products from AT&T's Data +Systems Group. AT&T provided an introductory multi-media show +featuring an emphasis on open architecture and the +interrelationship of products, switches, and voice or data users. + +I was particularly impressed with the facsimile transmission and +video scanner devices; these combined with PC's running text and +graphics editors seemed most useful in a variety of work +settings. The evening included a tour in sub-groups through +several product areas in the Customer Presentation Center and +each area was hosted by technically articulate, personable staff +from AT&T. We certainly appreciated this event and efforts of +John Broadus (CPC Manager) and Allison Pittman (Administrative +Assistant). This CPC group is generally responsible for hosting +all of our Oakland meetings. + +JUNE MEETING (SAN FRANCISCO) +**************************** +Joe Mahoney + +We want to feature more hardware technical Q&A at the June +meeting, and a couple of unexpected programs have also surfaced. +First, Bill Allen of Cupertino will introduce the $45 6300/EGA +adaptor card for the PC6300 that his company makes (fixes +completely the "hi-byte/lo-byte" problem that prevents some +software from operating in EGA mode even on a properly installed +EGA card in a PC6300). This device will be installed and shown +at the meeting by Bill. The Users Group will offer one of the +cards as the evening door prize. + +Then, Susan Higbee, National Market Manager of PRODIGY, will +present this new videotext, national dial-up information service +by Trintex. The company offers a $80 Hayes Personal Modem 1200 +(1200bps with cable and connectors) for those wishing to try the +service and who need a modem; PRODIGY service is a flat-rate, +$9.95/month, regardless of actual time on-line. The service was +first shown at the Computer Faire and to other area users groups +in April. + +SILICON VALLEY SECTION +********************** +Joe Lipsig, President + +There are many items coming up for the AT&T Users Group. First +let me remind everyone that there will be an AT&T day at +DataSource from 12 to 2 PM, and 4 to 7 PM, on Wednesday, June 15. + +DataSource is now located at 4090 Steven's Creek Boulevard in San +Jose (at Saratoga Avenue). There will be seminars at 12 and 1 PM +and then again at 4, 5 and PM, on UNIX and networking by AT&T +technicians. Discount coupons will be available for AT&T +products and training, as well as store discounts for AT&T +computer systems, printers, software and Starlan network boards. +Please plan to attend and support this event. + +In the UNIX arena, anyone interested in purchasing a 7300 (UNIX +PC) please give me a call. One of our members is trying to get a +group discount if enough people are interested. + +I am in the process of checking the prices of hard cards for the +5300 line. I would like to know if anyone is interested. I +have found that some manufacturers can offer a considerable +discount if we purchase as a users group. + +Please bear in mind, we have a large meeting room available for +our use. I can host any users that wish to arrive early for the +purpose of meeting or working together. + + +PRESIDENT'S BITS +**************** +Joe Mahoney + +At the May 4 (Oakland) meeting, members voted (22 voters) +unanimously to adopt the various BYLAWS changes, including the +name change to AT&T COMPUTER USERS GROUP. Because of the light +meeting turn-out, we will repeat the balloting at the June 1 San +Francisco meeting to give additional members a chance to vote. +This is the night of general officers' election as well -- you +are urged to attend and cast your ballot early in the evening. +Nominations (and self-nomination) for office remain open until +voting at around 7:15pm. You may phone Bob Martin (415 831-1931 +in Danville) to nominate or volunteer. + +Nominations at press time include the following: President (Joe +Mahoney); Vice President (Mark 'The Wiz' Almeida); Secretary +(open); Treasurer (Frank Davidoff); Members-at-Large (Bob Larsen, +Bob Martin). The secretary is an important voting member of the +Executive Committee and mostly assists at present with notes on +meeting proceedings. (Note, we are still seeking a paid door- +person to help with meeting sign-in and such!) + +Ruth Holzman of Osborne-McGraw-Hill publishers has contacted us +to offer discounts on book purchases through the group on a +quantity basis. I have cautioned her that some area bookstores +already offer these at some savings. She will have a table and +sampling of their books at the July Oakland meeting. Member +John Gowen won the evening door prize in May, a copy of Osborne- +McGraw Hill's 1-2-3: The Complete Reference, donated by the +publisher. (The Wiz won the evening consolation prize, Maxell +diskettes!) + +New in our growing collection of public-domain / shareware disk +library are GALAXY (a great word processor) and PCLOAN3 +(amortization and interest calculator with calendars) -- these +are available for "off loading" at the meetings. GALAXY is +quite impressive and quickly learned. It has many advanced +features and fine menus and help windows; several printer drivers +are included -- you'll be writing new documents within minutes. +Well worth a look! PCLOAN3 was given by the publisher, a Texas +"Silicon Prairie" firm, and received some favorable mention in +the June '87 issue of Computers in Accounting (contact me for a +copy of the review article on shareware for accountants). I +found the program "just OK". I am a disaster at mortgage +problems; I've yet to find a program that will help me figure +adjustable rate scenarios and early loan payoffs with occasional +extra payments! (I already use a cheap program called MORTPLAN). + +Those of you who are in the financial area should try PCLOAN3 and +send the author your critique. + +I have located a person who will head-up a 6300 PLUS group; if +you want to participate, be sure I get you on a list and let me +know if you want to see a special SIG developed -- a group to +meet separately with an AT&T technician on a regular basis +(perhaps quarterly). UNIX users should note the group known as +Silicon Valley Net, meeting 3rd Tuesday monthly in Cupertino +(Apple Auditorium, 10500 N. De Anza Blvd). This group appears +to have mini-computer UNIX interest and you could phone for more +information: Ralph Barker (408)248-8649 or Grant Rostig +(408)294-5319. + +The SVCS UNIX PC SIG (see April Newsletter) is growing quickly, +but I'm not sure that they welcome AT&T PC owners as yet. +Although plenty of UNIX resources exist down the peninsula, I +feel a need to host a UNIX SIG of our own in the San Francisco +area; I see no UNIX groups in North Bay tabloid listings. If you +agree, please contact me. We can certainly get AT&T support and +help in learning UNIX, particularly as this concerns the +environment of our PC's and connectivity to mini- and mainframe +computing. Without demonstrated interest in the group, we can +not foster viable SIG's. A "UNIX 101" lecture is planned for an +upcoming meeting. + +A "SIG" is a Special Interest Group; all Users Groups (except +ours) have them. They are really special focus groups within +the larger organization, often meeting separately. We have +little time at our general meeting to take an in-depth look at +certain topics that would best work as SIG's. The Beginning DOS +users class is a good example; UNIX users is another; or, 6300 +PLUS owners, perhaps dBASE folks.... Give it a thought; perhaps +you can chair a SIG. + +AT&T held a 2-day customer symposium in San Francisco May 17-18 +to show it's new Data Systems Group products and talk about open +architecture, the UNIX operating environment, networking and +connectivity. I was able to attend a half day review of the +event with various media and industry observers, hearing the new +DSG president, Bob Kavner, and his vice-presidents vow that AT&T +will remain an aggressive, important player in the computer +industry. Kavner, et al., insist that AT&T now recognizes that +customers indeed have a choice and that AT&T must listen to +remain competitive, and offer timely and reasonably-priced +solutions to customer needs. + +There is much activity and controversy in the world of UNIX +computing at the moment, with some of the top computing companies +forming another "foundation" to study UNIX needs and promulgate +"open" architecture standards. AT&T, SUN, and a few others, have +not joined this foundation as yet for various reasons. One +expressed view is that IBM (for example) has demonstrated in the +past a stance in favor of closed, proprietary systems, a lack of +truly open connectivity, and several different operating systems +within it's own products. + +AT&T waits to see if IBM and cronies will truly go OPEN in the +UNIX area. It was supposed that this "foundation" will not be +able to bring a standard UNIX product to the user right away, as +groups seldom agree and work well in these joint endeavors. On +the other hand, AT&T has in place now the widely used UNIX +System V. Amid all of this, a delightful, upbeat laser-mirrors- +sound-and-smoke show module was used to underscore AT&T Data +System Group's "Headed for the Future" determination. I was +surprised to find AT&T so lacking in conservatism at this point! + +While reporters grilled Kavner and the executives on UNIX issues, +I spoke with Larry Dooling, national VP of Marketing & Sales +Support. I reminded Dooling, and he agreed, that we MS-DOS +users were not going away and that we expect continued support of +our machines. Again, I sensed the spirit of listening and +reacting to customer needs, a new-found gospel within DSG. +Dooling and I discussed the growth of users groups briefly and +the need for a headquarters level support office. I intend to +follow-up with additional letters and calls to the New Jersey +executives. + +Elsewhere in this issue you will find an ad for the Easy Key +publication, Hard Disk Made Easy. This remarkable little +booklet is a an outline of DOS commands related to disk files and +directories. It is a handy reference without a lot of in depth +"why" to explain each item. A couple of experienced users at my +office picked up some tips and new commands from the book. The +8.5 x 11 inch book has only 48 pages; the binding is the plastic +comb variety that lets the booklet open and lay flat on your desk +in use. It is a bit plain -- lacking in graphic illustrations +and fancy press work. One diagram that attempts to relate DOS +commands and a tree of directories and files is too busy and +confusing at first. But, I think you will like the book as a +reference or a training aid. + +The publisher is a small company (set in the gold country +foothills), yet they say they have attracted a large customer +base of corporations using or recommending the book. I will +bring my copy to the June meeting for examination. I believe the +publisher will offer a discount to our members. If you like it +"made easy", this is for you! If you need more sophisticated +detail, you will find Wolverton's Running MS-DOS or the Norton +Utilities and Disk Guide more to your liking. + +MENTORS +******* + +We are still updating our list of "mentors", to be published in +the Newsletter. If you have a special area of expertise, be it +hardware or software, and you can spend a few moments from time +to time providing help to other members, contact Joe Mahoney, Joe +Lipsig, or Ed Ely, and we'll add you to the list. This has been +a great help to many members, and we hope to expand this method +of sharing our knowledge and experience. + +GEM AS AN OPERATING ENVIRONMENT +******************************* +Barry Newman + +In April 1984 Pacific Bell began moving the first of the its +Corporate Staff into the new San Ramon complex. The complex +would eventually accommodate 7300 employees occupying 1,750,00 +square feet of office space. The story that follows details the +history of one small 450 person segment of this work force and +tries to explain the background and rationale that led to the +selecting of DIGITAL RESEARCH's software product GEM as the +operating system on their PC's. I hope that providing this +history will assist others involved in any similar software and +hardware evaluation. + +About the same time the first employees were moving to San +Ramon, a task force was being formed within the Comptroller's +Disbursement Accounting Department, whose purpose would be the +selection of hardware and software for the work force that would +be moving to the new quarters. The work force that was involved +consisted of 450 employees. The makeup of the force was about 50 +managers, 25 clerical, 60 manual methods and 320 programmers. +The programmers were divided into 2 groups, 240 working on a +Burroughs main frame and 80 working an IBM. The first thing the +task force decided was that they had to have an acronym for +themselves. After many long hours of debate one was chosen: +WIMP (Work Station Implementation Persons). + +Prior to the formation of the WIMPS, a much smaller task force +had developed a set of targets and goals that were to be +accomplished by the WIMPS. These objectives boiled down to a +rather simplistic objective. Provide an environment that would +best support current and future technology in the areas of Office +Automation Systems (OAS) and Computer Assisted Software +Engineering (CASE). + +With these as the basic guidelines the WIMPS realized very +quickly that the best approach to the problem was to develop a +phased transition and that their task would be to concentrate on +selecting a "foundation" upon which future phases could develop +upon. + +With this in mind it was decided that a basic workstation +configuration with the ability to connect to a multitude of main +frame and Local Area Networks would provide the optimum +flexibility. + +After much investigation and cost benefit analysis a decision +was reached and the PC was selected as the hardware device that +was to function as the initial workstation. It was at this point +that an evaluation of the user community revealed that, since 90% +of the people had no PC background and of those 75% currently +used "dumb" terminals, PC training became a major issue. In +addition, the need to provide some fundamental word processing +and graphics capability further complicated matters. + +During this time frame, one of the WIMPS, Roger Pogue (credit +where credit is due) had uncovered and was running trials on GEM, +a product of DRI (Digital Research Inc.), within a work group +that consisted of about 25 people. The most obvious facet that +attracted us was the very obvious MACINTOSH-type interface that +GEM provided, that is, "point & click". When we measured GEM +against the major criteria we had been given for PC software for +the workstation, minimum training required and, within reason, +maximum word processing and graphics capability, we both became +convinced that GEM fit the bill. + +The original GEM COLLECTION consisted of GEM DESKTOP, a +fundamental hard disk manager and DOS shell, GEM WRITE, a clone +of VOLKSWRITER DELUXE, and GEM PAINT. It soon became apparent +that GEM PAINT was not the type of graphics package that we +needed but that another product, GEM DRAW, was. Negotiations +with DRI led to the substitution of GEM DRAW for GEM PAINT in the +"COLLECTION" and to an eventual site license. (We have since +added GEM WORDCHART to the package). + +In conjunction with DRI, a one day training course was developed +and was attended by each of the smaller work groups prior to +moving from San Francisco to San Ramon. The 450 people were +moved in stages spanning April to July 1986. + +It is now May 1988 and we have been utilizing GEM for the last +two years. I would like to say that 100% of the people "jumped +right on the bandwagon" but that was not the case. Two major +problems surfaced immediately. One was that those people that +were already using PC's, mainly the clerical and manual methods +folks, had already locked into other word processors, Wordstar, +MultiMate, etc. The second problem was within the programming +staff, which consists of people who, to this day, persist in +using the PC as simply a dumb terminal (change is never easy for +any of us). I should add one more item: those people who +outgrew GEMWRITE and GEMDRAW's capability within six months to a +year and are constantly pressing us for more and better tools. +All in all I feel we succeeded in what we set out to do. If the +WIMPS failed in any area it was in not maintaining closer +contact with the work force after the move and realizing the need +of select groups for bigger and better software tools. +Of necessity I've condensed a lot of our experiences and am more +than willing to discuss, at length, my opinions in this area. + +P.S. The PC selected for 250 of the people was the AT&T 6300. + +INSTALLING A SECOND (EXTERNAL) HARD DRIVE +***************************************** +David Calabrese + +I had run out of room on my 10MB hard disk on my 6300 and decided +a second hard disk would give me more room and allow me to use +the old 10MB as a backup disk. I had read several articles on +using hard disks larger than 32MB, and I ended up buying the PC +Magazine "editor's choice", a Miniscribe 72MB from Lifetime +Systems. It came with the "editor's choice" DISK MANAGER +software to format and partition the large disk. I told them I +needed a cable to hook both disks to my western digital board and +they threw one in. It was for an IBM only. + +In order to eliminate problems with such an expensive purchase, I +had first called the AT&T Technical Hot Line. They told me it +would work, and sold me some cables. I called both DISK MANAGER +and Miniscribe to ask about compatibility and to help with +settings. Sounds smart? WRONG! I ended up with the wrong +cables and wrong set-up information. It took me four long +evenings to figure that out. I probably hooked up all possible +combinations of cables, dip switch settings and jumpers. I don't +recommend this, but don't be too worried about accidentally +hurting something. I ran the DISK MANAGER Program about 100 +times using all options and generating most of its error +messages. It is very good because one can always back out of it. + +It won't hurt itself or the machine, and is easy to use. + +I finally set up my machine with one external 72MB disk divided +as drive C: and drive D: (a small DOS partition, and one +remaining large volume of about 70MB). The old internal 10MB +disk is designated as drive E: and is used as a backup. The two +hard disk motors hum quite a bit and probably lead to operator +fatigue after several hours. I recommend you also purchase +keyboard and monitor extender cables from AT&T, and get the CPU +under the desk. Put the second hard disk as far away as possible +or sound-insulate it. For the external disk, I used a standard +Bud Box CU 2110-B and made cutouts and bolted the disk to it. +It's not fancy, but it's back under the desk behind the CPU. + +Before the actual installation begins, it is helpful to consider +how the computer works. When the computer is first turned on, +the BIOS scurries around and checks for DOS in the A: drive. If +it is not there, the BIOS tries to find a disk with a control +jumper wire in the first or "terminator" position. That tells it +to look there and only there for the DOS command files. The next +thing it does it look on that disk for a partition marked MS-DOS. + +It will look in that partition (which is automatically and always +assigned as drive C: regardless as to where it is physically +located) for COMMAND.COM and other command files. Everything +else should be straightforward. + +Some terms to be aware of: + +CONTROL CABLE: a 34-pin ribbon cable that goes from the hard +disk control card to one or two disks. The disks can be cabled +in series (daisy chain) or in a "Y" with each end terminating at +a disk and a connector in the middle to attach to the controller. + +Connectors at the ends of the cable must be correctly wired for +the disks that they attach to. The end that goes to the +Miniscribe has wires #24 through #29 flipped (k#24 wire attaches +to #29 pin on the connector, etc). + +DATA CABLE: a 20-pin ribbon cable going from the hard disk +control card to a hard disk. One is required for each disk. + +JUMPER or JUMPER BLOCK: a tiny black block that bridges two +resister wires. Usually located under or next to the 34-pin +connector on the hard disk. + +TERMINATOR: the same jumper or jumper block when it is located +on the first set of pins. A terminator identifies that disk to +the BIOS as drive C: (where COMMAND.COM is located). The jumper +can be in that position on only one disk (you choose). The other +disk must have its jumper block on the second or maybe third or +fourth wires. + +RE-STRAPPING: removing the controller card and checking DIP +switch and jumper settings against the listings in the owner's +manual. Reset as necessary. Also check that the #1-20 pin cable +is plugged into #1 slot on controller card (directly under the +34-pin socket) and goes to the disk that is to be the "first" +disk. + +STANDARD DISK DRIVE: A disk drive supported by the ROM BIOS of +your computer. Check owner's manual. This is DISK MANAGER +terminology. + +LOW LEVEL FORMAT: usually done ny the manufacturer of the disk. +DISK MANAGER also does it. AT&T has a program called LOWFORM +but the instructions are not included to easily work with two +hard disks -- AT&T information has not kept up with AT&T +hardware. (editors note: there seem to be several programs +available that are called LOWFORM. The version that is available +through the user group fully supports two disk drives, but +documentation is minimal) + +PARTITIONING: dividing up the available disk storage space into +partitions, or volumes. Each partition will be assigned a drive +letter (see below). + +DRIVE C: or MS-DOS Partition: (#1 Partition on an NEC). The +only MS-DOS partition allowed in the system . It contains DOS +command files and whatever else you want to put in there. + +DOS-DATA Partition: any other partition. One can run programs +and store data the same as if it were a formatted floppy in the +"A" drive. DISK MANAGER calls it a READ/WRITE Partition, and +allows any size, up to the maximum size of the disk. DOS allows +any size up to 32MB. + +DOS FORMAT or HIGH LEVEL FORMAT: a procedure carried out by the +user after partitioning and before installing files. + +Let's look at some ways to hook up and divide up the hard disks +into different drive designations, say (C:) through (F:), that +will work with MS-DOS 3.2 FDISK command (without DISK MANAGER): + +The 10MB disk could be physically hooked up as disk-1 and +designated drive (C:), with the 72MB wired as disk-2 and set up +as drives (D:), (E:) and (F:) (three 24MB DOS-DATA partitions). +Or, the 72MB disk physically could be hooked up as disk 1 with +one DOS partition and several DOS-DATA partitions (limit 32MB), +with the 10MB wired as disk-2, assigned the next available drive +letter as a 10MB DOS-DATA partition (drive letters are assigned +automatically by DOS when the system is first booted). + +If one needs larger volumes than are allowed by the 32MB DOS +limit, or security, then the DISK MANAGER is the way to go. Keep +in mind that the DOS FDISK command will not recognize or work +with DISK MANAGER partitions. However, that is not a problem +because DISK MANAGER has its own FDISK equivalent. The DOS FDISK +is not needed. + +DISK MANAGER also provides the option of creating a read only +partition that cannot be changed. It can create partitions as +large as the disk (with the exception of the MS-DOS partition). +The 10MB disk could be physically hooked up as disk-1 (drive C:) +and the 72MB hooked up as disk-2 (drive D: with one 72MB DOS-DATA +partition). Or, the 72MB disk could be physically hooked up as +disk-1, with a DOS partition (up to 32MB) and one or more +partitions (no limit, up to the maximum space remaining on the +disk). The 10MB could be set up as a read-only partition after +data has been stored on it. + + SETUP & INSTALLATION OF TWO HARD DISKS + +This procedure will be useful for: + + 1. A single hard disk less than or more than 32MB. + 2. A second internal hard disk. + 3. A second hard disk externally attached to an AT&T 6300. + +Also useful for any other machine with a small CPU case that +requires an external disk. + +SETUP: + +1. Check owner's manual to make sure the disk to be bought is +supported by your ROM BIOS. For the 6300 use ROM 1.43 and pages +1-14 to 1-18 (or check the DRIVE TABLES included in this issue of +the newsletter -ed). + +2. Inspect the controller card to locate dip switches and check +for two 20-pin cable sockets and one 34-pin cable socket (if you +are setting up two disks). If one hard disk is already +installed, the 20 pin cable should be in the #1 socket. + +3. Set DIP switches according to manual and disks. Make sure +that the jumper block is on the #1 position on the disk that will +hold DOS system files. + +4. Check to see that the cables will be long enough to go to the +back of the new disk(s) and if external, to allow for a safe +location of the disk. The 6300 needs 12" of cable for the 20 +pin cable to reach just outside of the CPU. The 34 pin cable +needs 12" from the controller card socket to the internal disk +and then 12" from the controller card socket to reach outside the +CPU. The controller card socket is the center of a "Y" +configuration. The external disk can be in a box with its own +power supply or use a 4 wire power cable in a "Y" shape with the +cable to the internal disk as short as possible and the cable for +the external disk 24", plus the distance to disk (I used the +standard AT&T power supply). These dimensions will get the +cables out of the CPU. Add whatever length you need to the +cables so that they will reach the chosen external hard disk +location. There is a small knockout section on the left front +side of the 6300 to allow the cables to exit. File any sharp +plastic point remaining after removing the knockout section. IBM +AT's, or machines allowing 2 internal hard disks, use standard +length cables usually available from the hard disk vendor if +asked for. + +5. The jumper block on the 2nd hard disk (not C: drive) can not +be on the #1 (terminator) position. It is usually on #2 +position (check your manual). +Well that's the hookup. Use the DOS FDISK and FORMAT commands +according to the owner's manual, or run a program like DISK +MANAGER. Be aware that the partitions that DISK MANAGER makes +can not be operated on by the DOS FDISK command. + +ASK THE "WIZ" +************* +Mark Almeida + +BIGGER AND BETTER HARDDISK + +For those of you seeking larger and faster hard drives for the +PC 6300, I may just have the answer. I was running out of room +on my 20MB drive, and happened to read a series of articles in +InfoWorld about a Miniscribe drive using an RLL controller that +would provide 64MB of space at a much higher transfer rate. The +articles were all talking about AT machines, of course, but I +decided to give it a try anyway. I shopped around, and finally +was able to locate the drive (a Miniscribe 3650) and an RLL +controller (Adaptec 2072A). I put the drive and controller in my +system (after doing a full backup) and ran tests at various +sector interleave factors. What I finished with is worth looking +at. + +My original drive was a Seagate ST-225, in concert with a +Western Digital WD1002-WX2 MFM controller, sector interleaved at +5:1. The rated access time for that drive is 65ms. When I used +standard benchmarks to test the drive, these were the results: + +SPINTEST reported: 6 revolutions to transfer one complete track +at a rate of 104.4KB/second. + +ATDISK reported: Track-to-track seek time: 21.4ms. Average seek +time: 83.3ms. Transfer rate (effective) 82.5KB/second. + +I then installed the Miniscribe 3650 drive with the Adaptec +2072A (8-bit RLL) controller, and ran the same benchmarks with +the following results: + +SPINTEST reported: 5 revolutions to transfer one complete track +at a rate of 153.6KB/second (147.1% faster)/ + +ATDISK reported: Track-to-track seek time: 16.3ms (76.6% +faster). Average seek time: 47.8ms (57.3% faster). Transfer +rate (effective) 105.2KB/second (127.5% faster). + +The Miniscribe is rated at 61ms access time as an MFM drive; +this drive is NOT RLL-certified, but it is exactly the same +physical drive as the RLL-certified Miniscribe 3675 -- it just +costs less. To contrast the results with this drive to a +supposedly high-speed MFM drive, I tested my PC 6310 in my office +(it has a Seagate ST-251, which is a 38ms rated access MFM drive) +with the following results: + +SPINTEST reported: 2 revolutions to transfer one complete track +at a rate of 261.1KB/second. + +ATDISK reported: Track-to-track seek time: 7.6ms. Average seek +time: 37.2ms. Transfer rate (effective) 253.3KB/second. + +This means that the Miniscribe drive with an 8-bit RLL +controller in an 8MHz machine provides approximately 60% of the +performance of the high speed 16-bit MFM drive in a 10MHz +machine -- pretty impressive. + +Even if we average the transfer rate differences, it still +provides a whopping 137.3% improvement in transfer rate over the +ST225 with the added benefit of 64MB of formatted capacity. To +make the best use of the drive, it is necessary to determine the +optimal sector interleave. To determine the optimum interleave +for the new drive, I used another product recommended by Steve +Gibson, his own SPINRITE. + +SPINRITE, from Gibson Research, retails for $59.00. It makes +tuning your hard disk performance a snap. In addition, it can +help to predict and prevent disk errors, lessening the risk of +seeing the dreaded "General failure on drive C" message, or +worse, a "File not found" message on one of your critical data +files. SPINRITE can rewrite the low-level format on your disk, +including changing the interleave, without disturbing the +existing data. This means you don't HAVE TO do a full backup and +restore to change the interleave(although I DO recommend that you +do a full backup before running SPINRITE). The time SPINRITE +takes to do a full low-level reformat ranges from a few minutes +to many hours depending on how deep a level of verification and +error checking you want. SPINRITE customizes itself to your +exact combination of hardware, ie. CPU/disk drive/controller, so +the optimizations it does are absolutely the best for your +personal machine. The license is very liberal, allowing you to +use SPINRITE on all machines which YOU PERSONALLY own. All in +all, a very excellent drive maintenance/optimization utility. I +rate SPINRITE a five-star (*****) winner !! + +The Miniscribe 3650 is going for $399 $459 in current adds in +the Computer Currents and MicroTimes magazines. The Adaptec +2072A will run $150 $180 depending on where you buy it. This +means that for a price between $549 $639 retail you can have a +64MB drive that provides a 137% performance increase over the +ST225. Anyone who is interested in knowing more about this can +contact me; my phone number is in the list elsewhere in the +newsletter. + +Mark Almeida "The Wiz" +(Questions for this column can be submitted to me through the +Editor of the newsletter, or mailed directly to me: Ask The Wiz, +1516 Casa Loma Way, Suisun, CA 94585. I may not reply to all +questions, but I will pass on to our technical support those +that I don't feel qualified to answer. - The Wiz) + +USER GROUP TECH-TIPS #8 +*********************** +L.J.(Larry)Risner +AT&T Tech Staff + +FORMATTING HARD DRIVES + +This month I would like to explain the how's and why's of +preparing hard drives for service. + +The steps in preparing a hard drive are really very simple. The +confusion is created because things happen that we aren't told +about and the things we see aren't always what they appear to be. + +Darn, more confusion. Let's follow the steps that must be taken +and I will explain what's happening. First, turn off the system +power, and remove the power cord, if you haven't done so already. + +You will need to determine the "drive type" (see DRIVE TABLES +elsewhere in this issue), then set the motherboard and HDU +controller DIP switches to the correct settings for the drive, or +drives (up to two are supported). These settings are included +after the DRIVE TABLES in this issue, for systems using the +internal HDU BIOS on the system motherboard. On a 6300, when +using external HDU BIOS (on the HDU controller card), consult the +manufacturer of the card, or contact the AT&T Technical Hotline +for information on supported cards. + +Finally, reboot the computer, if it was not already turned off, +and you can proceed with low level formatting and partitioning +procedures. + +A) LOW LEVEL FORMAT + +This process creates the "logical" surface on the drive. It +forms the sectors on the tracks according to the interleave +factor (See note). Each sector has room for 512 data bytes and +there is usually 17 sectors/track. A little math tells us that +each track has a data capacity of 8704 bytes. This operation is +required regardless of what you plan to use the drive for. Note: + +LOWFORM (the AT&T low level format utility available through the +user group) uses the standard "drive 0" for the first drive in +the system, and "drive 1" for the second drive (LOWFORM is set up +to work on the 6300, 6300+ and 6310, but should also work with +the 6312 and 6386). + +B) BAD TRACK FORMAT + +This is the most important and most misunderstood operation. +The important thing here is that you always look at the list of +heads/cylinders attached to the top of the hard drive, enter +these into the "bad track table", AND FORMAT THEM. If you do not +format them, nothing happens (the "bad track table" is +non-existent on the drive). Each track is a separate entity on +the drive and to format one as bad places special "ID's" in the +track and a "FF" hex pattern in all data bytes. This is done so +that DOS, UNIX or some other operating system can map out these +tracks. If you do not perform this step, and the drive has media +defects, you will regret it later when you lose your data. +Remember, a bad track table does not exist - it is a human +interface mechanism only. + +C) FDISK + +Using this you will specify how the drive will be partitioned +for DOS. This program builds an area at the front of the hard +drive and places this information in it for the operating system +to reference as needed. + +D) DOS FORMAT + +This builds the file allocation tables, directory area, and boot +sector area of the drive and prepares the data areas for data. +It also knows how to handle the formatted bad tracks. With the +completion of this step the drive is now ready for use. + +So there you have it. Four steps which must be followed in the +order shown and, most important, the bad tracks MUST be +formatted as bad to ensure data integrity. + +Practice has shown that the above procedures will be adequate +for 99% of drives placed in service and the remaining 1% will be +replaced for other reasons (mechanical, etc.). + +Note: Interleave is a method of spacing the sectors on the +tracks. When a sector is read the data is passed to a buffer on +the HDU controller. This data must then be passed to the CPU RAM +and the buffer prepared for the next sector read. Oops, that +took too much time, now we have to wait for the drive to bring +the next sector back around so it can be read (the drive is +spinning at 3600 RPM). To allow time for data handling if we +make every third sector the next in sequence then perhaps when +the controller is ready for the next sector read, the drive will +already be positioned for it. Because this timing is related to +many factors, the optimum interleave factor may vary between CPU +models, even with the same hard drive unit. + +HARD DRIVES TYPES AND SETTINGS +****************************** +(5-23-88) Larry Risner + +Hard drive information for all AT&T processor models: + + ++------------------------------------------------+ +| Hard Drive "TYPE TABLE" for the AT&T6300 | +| 1.21 or earlier BIOS (January 1988) | +|------------------------------------------------| +| TYPE CAP CYL HD DESCRIPTION | +|------------------------------------------------| +| 00 -

Shorting the positions or setting the switch to "ON" +corresponds to a binary zero. In other words, positions 1 +through 4 shorted ("ON") equals type 0 (binary 0000). All open +("OFF") is type 15 (binary 1111). + +The order of the binary positions is not sequential - the +positions assigned to drive-0 and the positions assigned to +drive-1 are interspaced. (The first line of numbers shows the +physical switch positions, the second line shows the effective +positions for drive-0 and drive-1). In all cases, determine the +correct binary value by reading the value in the order 4-3-2-1, +with position 1 being the "least significant" value). Switch +position settings can also be obtained from the AT&T TECHNICAL +HOTLINE (800) 922-0354. + +The "AT" class (286/386) CPU drive types are set with the +customer diagnostics program (not by DIP switches). If a hard +drive is not listed in the DRIVE TABLES, or is not shown in the +diagnostics program, you MIGHT be able to find a close match in +the tables, and you MIGHT be able to get everything to work +properly. For predictable results, use a supported drive. + +The above tables are determined by the drive parameters resident +in the HDU area of the AT&T internal ROM BIOS. To use the +internal HDU BIOS, set DIP switch 1, position 3 on the 6300 +motherboard to "ON" (set it to "OFF" to use the HDU controller +card BIOS). Even when using the internal HDU BIOS, the system +board looks to the switch settings on the HDU controller to +determine the drive type. If external HDU BIOS is used, the +tables are not effective and should not be referred to (contact +the manufacturer of the card, or the AT&T Technical Hotline). + +Using the tables: + - Determine the model of the drive. + - Set the "type" options for the HDU used. + - Reboot the CPU. + - Continue to low level formatting and partitioning. + +L.J.(Larry)Risner +(415) 460-5254 + +SOFTWARE REVIEW: SPINRITE HARD DISC UTILITY +******************************************* +Bill Todd + +I've just received my copy of Spinrite in the mail, and +anxiously applied it my hard discs. To simply say this is a hard +disc utility is a severe understatement. The results are simply +great! The program's author, Steve Gibson of Gibson Research in +Irvine, CA, is a columnist on INFOWORLD magazine. While I may +not always agree with his comments, I'll say that this program is +a MUST HAVE if you have a hard disc installed in your AT&T! + +Steve wrote about 500k lines of assembler code in this multi- +faceted program. You're now able to optimize your interleave +factor, low-level format without losing your data, park your +heads and assorted other features. Steve makes good sense and +good recommendations in his easy to read and follow manual. + +I install fast hard discs, and tune hard discs up as part of my +services; up to this point it was a long, arduous and expensive +proposition if you're to do it right.... Spinrite helps cut +through the mysteries of the rotating discs, and if you're +interested, you'll learn a whale of a lot about your hard disc. +(You'll also save a lot of time in the process). The nice part +about it is that the "techie" part is optional. The material is +written in Steve's inimitable style, and is very easy for the +layperson to comprehend. + +The whole process, if you really want a performance hard disc, +and want a maximum surface verification on the disk, takes up to +eight hours or so on a Seagate ST251, 40 Megger. (Yours may take +more or less depending on size.) Mothering the thing through +isn't necessary; it monitors itself, and appears near bullet- +proof. You don't even have to do the low-level formatting in one +session: you're allowed to exit and restart where you left off. +Neat feature!! + +I had no problems installing and using Spinrite. As I write this +I'm "Spinrite-ing" the Seagate ST238 in my bulletin board system; +it's in another room, low level formatting it's silicon heart +out. My interleave was optimized the hard way, but I ran the low +level format anyway to find and correct errors revealed by the +program. The graphic presentation on this program is +exceptional! If you don't know where you are within the program, +it sure isn't the programmer's fault. + +Another great feature is that I'm able to optimize a hard disc +for someone else without having software hassles with agreements, +etc. Steve's real world views are very much appreciated by this +writer. If I tune or install your hard disc using Spinrite, I'll +recommend that you buy Spinrite. Steve recommends that Spinrite +be applied in the "extremely thorough" mode the first time +through, and that it be reapplied at three month intervals. The +second time through takes lots less time than the "extremely +thorough" mode. + +I generally do not handle software, but in this case, I make an +exception in order to offer you an extremely fine program. As +usual, I offer discount pricing to AT&T users group members on +all my products and services. The program sells for $59 if you +go to Gibson Research; I'll have it priced at $53. If you're +looking for a super hard disc utility, look no further. There's +others out there, but none compare! + +I can't speak highly enough about this product. Once in a very +great while, a program comes along that does what it says it'll +do. This program is heads and shoulders above anything else I've +seen. You'll come away with a newly found sense of hard disc +knowledge if you use it as prescribed by "Dr. Gibson." I use it +in my shop, and have no reservations about recommending it to +you. + +RATING: 0=poor 1=fair 2=avg 3=above avg 4=excellent 5=outstanding + +Installation ease: 5 +Documentation: 5 +Thoroughness: 4 +Ease of use: 4 +Flexibility: 5 +Graphics: 5+ + +Bottom line: Get it!

Ok +to place a call with an AT&T card, lift the handset (PAY PHONE) hit (0) and the +desired area code and the number to call. Also when calling the same number +that the card is being billed to you enter the phone number and at the tone +only enter the last four digits on the card. But we don't want to do that now, +do we. If additional calls are wanted all you do is hit the (#) and you will +get a new dial tone! After you hit (#) you do not have to re-enter the calling +card number simply enter your desired number and it will connect you. + If the number you called is busy just keep hitting (#) and the number to be +called until you connect! Ok to calL the U.S. of a from another country, you +use the exact same format as described above! + Ok now I will describe the procedure for placing calls to a foreign +country, such as CANADA,RUSSIA,SOUTH AMERICA, etc.. Ok first lift the handset +then enter (01) + the country code + the city code + the local telephone +number. Ok after you get the tone enter the AT&T calling card number. Ok if you +can not dial operator assisted calls from your area don't worry just jingle the +operator and she will handle your call, don't worry she can't see you! + The international number on the AT&T calling card is used for calling the +US of A from places like RUSSIA, CHINA you never know when you might get stuck +in a country like those and you have no money to make a call! The international +operator will be able to tell you if they honor the AT&T calling card. + Well I hope that this has straightened out some of your problems on the use +of an AT&T calling card! All you have to remember is that weather you are +placing the call or the operator, be careful and never use the calling card +from your home phone!! That is a BIG NO NO.. + + Also AT&T has came out with a new thing called (NEW CARD CALLER SERVICE) +they say that it was designed to meet the public's needs! These phones will be +popping up in many place such as airport terminals, hotels, etc... What the new +card caller service is, is a new type of phone that has a (CRT) screen that +will talk to you in a language of your choice. The service works something +like this, when you find a (NEW CARD CALLER PHONE), all you do is follow the +instructions on the (CRT) screen, then you insert the (NEW CARD CALLER CARD) +and there is a strip of magnetic tape on the card which reads the number, thus +no one can hear you saying your number or if there were a bug in the phone,no +touch tones will be heard!! You can also bill the call to a third party. that +is one that I am not totally clear on yet! The phone is supposed to tell you +how it can be done.

Also I'll ignore some +obsolete stuff. + + The physical layout of the cards are standard. The LOGICAL makeup varies +from institution to institution. There are some generally followed layouts, +but not mandatory. + + There are actually up to three tracks on a card. + + Track 1 was designed for airline use. It contains your name and usually your +account number. This is the track that is used when the ATM greets you by +name. There are some glitches in how things are ordered so occasionally you do +get "Greetings Bill Smith Dr." but such is life. This track is also used with +the new airline auto check in (PSA, American, etc) + + Track 3 is the "OFF-LINE" ATM track. It contains such nifty information as +your daily limit, limit left, last access, account number, and expiration date. +(And usually anything I describe in track 2). The ATM itself could have the +ability to rewrite this track to update information. + + Track 2 is the main operational track for online use. The first thing on +track to is the PRIMARY ACCOUNT NUMBER (PAN). This is pretty standard for all +cards, though no guarantee. Some additional info might be on the card such as +expiration date. One interesting item is the PIN offset. When an ATM verifies +a PIN locally, it usually uses an encryption scheme involving the PAN and a +secret KEY. This gives you a "NATURAL PIN" (i.e. when they mail you your pin, +this is how it got generated.) If you want to select your own PIN, they would +put the PIN OFFSET in the clear on the card. Just do modulo 10 arithmetic on +the Natural PIN plus the offset, and you have the selected PIN. YOUR PIN IS +NEVER IN THE CLEAR ON YOUR CARD. Knowing the PIN OFFSET will not give you the +PIN. This will required the SECRET KEY. + + Hope that answers your question.... + + + + +************ Deposits at ATMs ************************ + +Deposits on ATM: + + Various banks have various systems. As an example, at CITIbank a deposit was +made to a specific account. Your account was updated with a MEMO update, i.e. +it would show up on your balance. However it did not become AVAILABLE funds +until it was verified by a teller. On the envelope was Customer ID number, the +envelope number and the Entered dollar amount, the branch # and the Machine #. + + There was also a selection for OTHER PAYMENTS. This allowed you to dump any +deposit into the ATM. + + What are you assured then when you deposit to an ATM ? + +1) You have a banking RECORD (not a reciept at Citibank). If you + have this record, there is a VERY high percentage that you + deposited something at that ATM. + +2) Some banks have ways of crediting your deposit RIGHT NOW. + This could be done by a balance in another account (i.e. a long + term C.D. or a line of credit.) That way they can get you if + you lied. + + +************** ATM Splitting a Card in half *************** + + I've worked with about 75% of the types of machines on the market and NONE of +them split a card in half upon swallow. However, some NETWORKS have a policy +of slicing a card to avoid security problems. + + Trusting an ATM. Intresting you should bring this up, I'm just brusing up a +paper describing a REAL situation where your card and PIN are in the clear. +This involves a customer using a bank that is part of a network. All the +information was available to folks in DP, if they put in some efforts to get +it. + + + + + + Mis-Implementation of an ATM PIN security system + + +1. Synopsis + + In an EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) network, a single node which does not +implement the proper security can have effects throughout the network. In this +paper, the author describes an example of how security features were ignored, +never-implemented, and/or incorrectly designed. The human factors involved in +the final implementation are explored by showing several major vulnerabilites +caused by a Savings and Loan and a regional EFT network's lack of vigilance in +installing an EFT network node. While using an EFT system as an example, the +concepts can be extrapolated into the implementation of other secured systems. + + +2. Background + + A small Savings and Loan was setting up a small (10 to 16 ATMs) proprietary +Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) network. This network was then intended to link +up to a regional network. The manufacturer of the institution's online banking +processor sent an on-site programmer to develop the required interfaces. + + An ATM network consists of three main parts. The first is the ATM itself. +An ATM can have a range of intelligence. In this case the ATM was able to +decode a PIN (Personal Identification Number) using an institution supplied DES +(Data Encryption Standard) key. It was then required to send a request for +funds to the host where it would receive authorization. + + The second portion of the network is the ATM controller. The controller +monitors the transaction, and routes the message to the authorization +processor. The controller would also generally monitor the physical devices +and statuses of the ATM. + + The third portion of the network is the authorization system. In this case +customers of the local institution would have the transaction authorized on the +same processor. Customers from foreign (i.e. one that does not belong to the +institution that runs the ATM) institutions would be authorized by the regional +network. Authorization could be from a run-up file which maintains establishes +a limit on withdrawals for a given account during a given period. A better +method is authorization direct from the institution which issued the card. + +3. Security + + The system has a two component key system to allow access to the network by +the customer. The first is the physical ATM card which has a magnetic stripe. +The magnetic stripe contains account information. The second component is the +Personal Identification Number (PIN). The PIN is hand entered by the customer +into the ATM at transaction time. Given these two parts, the network will +assume that the user is the appropriate customer and allow the transaction to +proceed. + + The Magnetic stripe is in the clear and may be assume to be reproducible +using various methods, thus the PIN is crucial security. + + +Security +PIN security + + +3.1. PIN security + + +3.1.1. PIN key validation method + + PINs can be linked up to a particular card in a number of ways. One method +puts the PIN into a central data base in a one-way encrypted format. When a +PIN is presented, it would be encrypted against the format in the data base. +This method requires a method of encrypting the PIN given at the ATM, until it +can be verified at the central site. Problems can also occur if the +institution wants to move the PIN data base to another processor, especially +from a different computer vendor. + + Another method is to take information on the card, combine it with an +institution PIN encryption key (PIN key) and use that to generate the PIN. The +institution in question used the PIN key method. This allows the customer to +be verified at the ATM itself and no transmission of the PIN is required. The +risk of the system is the PIN key must be maintained under the tightest of +security. + + The PIN key is used to generate the natural PIN. This is derived by taking +the account number and using DES upon it with the PIN key. The resulting +number then is decimialized by doing a lookup on a 16 digit decimalization +table to convert the resulting hexadecimal digits to decimal digits. An ATM +loaded with the appropriate PIN key can then validate a customer locally with +no need to send PIN information to the network, thereby reducing the risk of +compromise. + + The PIN key requires the utmost security. Once the PIN key is known, any +customer's ATM card, with corresponding PIN can be created given a customer +account number. The ATM allows for the PIN to be entered at the ATM in two +parts, thus allowing each of two bank officers to know only one half of the +key. If desired, a terminal master key can be loaded and then the encrypted +PIN key loaded from the network. + + The decimalization table usually consists of 0 to 9 and 0 to 5, ("0" to "F" +in hexadecimal where "F" = 15). The decimalization table can be put into any +order, scrambling the digits and slowing down an attacker. (As a side note, it +could be noted that using the "standard" table, the PIN digits are weighted to +0 through 5, each having a 1/8 chance of being the digit, while 6 through 9 has +only a 1/16 chance.) + + When handling a foreign card, (i.e. one that does not belong to the +institution that runs the ATM), the PIN must be passed on to the network in +encrypted form. First, however, it must be passed from the ATM to the ATM +controller. This is accomplished by encrypting the PIN entered at the ATM +using a communication key (communication key), The communication key is entered +at the ATM much like the PIN key. In addition, it can be downloaded from the +network. The PIN is decrypted at the controller and then reencrypted with the +network's communication key. + + Maintaining the the security of the foreign PIN is of critical importance. +Given the foreign PIN along with the ATM card's magnetic image, the perpetrator +has access to an account from any ATM on the network. This would make tracking +of potential attackers quite difficult, since the ATM and the institution they +extract funds from can be completely different from the institution where the +information was gleaned. + + Given that the encrypted PIN goes through normal communication processes, it +could be logged on the normal I/O logs. Since it is subject to such logging, +the PIN in any form should be denied from the logging function. + + +3.2. Security Violations + + While the EFT network has potential to run in a secured mode given some of +the precautions outlined above, the potential for abuse of security is quite +easy. In the case of this system, security was compromised in a number of +ways, each leading to the potential loss of funds, and to a loss of confidence +in the EFT system itself. + + +3.2.1. Violations of the PIN key method + + The two custodian system simply wasn't practical when ATMs were being +installed all over the state. Two examples show this: When asked by the +developer for the PIN key to be entered into a test ATM, there was first a +massive search for the key, and then it was read to him over the phone. The +PIN key was written on a scrap of paper which was not secured. This is the PIN +key that all the customer PINs are based on, and which compromise should +require the reissue of all PINs.) + + The importance of a system to enter the PIN key by appropriate officers of +the bank should not be overlooked. In practice the ATM installer might be the +one asked to enter the keys into the machine. This indeed was demonstrated in +this case where the ATM installer not only had the keys for the Savings and +Loan, but also for other institutions in the area. This was kept in the high +security area of the notebook in the installer's front pocket. + + Having a Master key entered into the ATM by officers of the bank might add an +additional layer of security to the system. The actual PIN key would then be +loaded in encrypted form from the network. In the example above, if the +installer was aware of the terminal master key, he would have to monitor the +line to derive the actual PIN key. + + The use of a downline encrypted key was never implemented, due to the +potential complications and added cost of such a system. Even if it was, once +violated, security can only be regained by a complete reissue of customer PINs +with the resulting confusion ensuing. + + +3.2.2. Network validated PIN Security violations + + Given the potential for untraced transactions, the maintenance of the foreign +PINs security was extremely important. In the PIN key example above, any +violation would directly affect the institution of the violators. This would +limit the scope of an investigation, and enhance the chance of detection and +apprehension. The violation of foreign PIN information has a much wider sphere +of attack, with the corresponding lower chance of apprehension. + + The communication key itself was never secured. In this case, the developer +handed the key to the bank officers, to ensure the communication key didn't get +misplaced as the PIN key did (This way he could recall it in case it got lost). +Given the communication key, the security violation potential is simple enough. +The programmer could simply tap the line between the ATM and the controller. +This information could then generate a set of PIN and card image pairs. He +would even have account balances. + + Tapping the line would have been an effort, and worse yet he could get +caught. However, having the I/O logs could serve the same purpose. While +originally designed to obscure PIN information in the I/O logs, the feature was +disabled due to problems caused by the regional network during testing. The +I/O logs would be sent to the developer any time there was a problem with the +ATM controller or the network interface. + + The generation of PIN and card image pairs has a potential for even the most +secured system on the network to be attacked by the lapse in security of a +weaker node. Neither the communication key, nor the PIN should ever be +available in the clear. This requires special hardware at the controller to +store this information. In this case, the institution had no desire to install +a secured box for storing key information. The communication key was available +in software, and the PIN was in the clear during the process of decrypting from +the ATM and re-encrypting with the network key. Any programmer on the system +with access to the controller could put in a log file to tap off the PINs at +that point. + + The largest failure of the system, though, was not a result of the items +described above. The largest failure in the system was in the method of +encrypting the PIN before going to the network. This is due to the failure of +the network to have a secured key between sites. The PIN was to be encrypted +with a network key. The network key was sez4E¥¹5R¤¨–k–^¸ted form from thee +ettwork to the ATM controller. However, the key to decrypt the network key was +sent almost in the clear as part of the start-of-day sequence. + + Any infiltrator monitoring the line would be able to get all key information +by monitoring the start-of-day sequence, doing the trivial decryption of the +communication key, and proceeding to gather card image and PIN pairs. The +infiltrator could then generate cards and attack the system at his leisure. + + The network-ATM controller security failure is the most critical feature +since it was defined by a regional network supporting many institutions. The +network was supposedly in a better position to understand the security +requirements. + + +4. The Human Factors in Security Violation + + It is important the users of a system be appraised of the procedures for +securing the system. They should understand the risks, and know what they are +protecting. The bank officers in charge of the program had little experience +with ATM systems. They were never fully indoctrinated in the consequences of a +PIN key or communication key compromise. The officers showed great surprise +when the developer was able to generate PINs for supplied test cards. Given +the potential risk, nothing more was done to try to change the PIN key, even +though, they were quite aware that the PIN key was in the developer's +possession. They once even called the developer for the PIN key when they +weren't able to find it. + + The developer had a desire to maintain a smooth running system and cut down +on the development time of an already over-budget project. Too much security, +for example modifying I/O logs, could delay the isolation or repair of a +problem. + + The regional network was actually a marketing company who subcontracted out +the data processing tasks. They failed to recognized the security problem of +sending key information with extremely weak encryption. The keys were all but +sent in the clear. There seemed to be a belief that the use of encryption in +and of itself caused a network to be secured. The use of DES with an unsecured +communication key gave the appearance of a secured link. + + The lack of audits of the system, both in design and implementation was the +final security defect which allowed the system to be compromised in so many +ways. An example of the Savings and Loan's internal auditors failure to +understand the problems or technology is when the auditors insisted that no +contract developers would be allowed physically into the computer room. The +fact was, access to the computer room was never required to perform any of the +described violations. + + +5. Security Corrections + + As in any system where security was required, the time to implement it is at +the beginning. This requires the review of both implementation and operational +plans for the network. Audits should be performed to verify that the +procedures are followed as described in the plan. Financing, scheduling and +man power for such audits must be allocated so security issues can be +addressed. + + For this institution, the first step would have been to indoctrinate the +banking officers of the risks in the ATM network, the vulnerabilites, and the +security measures required. + + Custodians of all keys should be well aware of their responsibilities for +those keys. A fall back system of key recovery must be in place in case an +officer is not available for key entry. + + The cost of installing hardware encryption units at the host should be +included in the cost of putting in the system. The host unit could generate +down-line keys for both the PIN key and the communication key thus making it +more difficult to derive these keys without collusion from at least three +people. + + A secured communications key should be established between the Network and +the institution. This would allow for the exchange of working communication +keys. This key should be changed with a reasonable frequency. + + All these areas should be audited in both the system specification and +implementation to make sure they are not being abridged in the name of +expediency. + + +6. Summary + + In this view of a single institution, a number of failures in the security +system were shown. There was shown a definite failure to appreciate what was +required in the way of security for PINs and keys used to derive PIN +information. An avoidance of up front costs for security lead to potentially +higher cost in the future. The key area was the lack of audits of the EFT +system by both the institution and the network, causing potential loss to all +institutions on the network. + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/atmfone.phk b/textfiles.com/phreak/atmfone.phk new file mode 100644 index 00000000..252d1feb --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/atmfone.phk @@ -0,0 +1,115 @@ +12/25/90 +-------------------============< SANCTUARY >============------------------- +| | +| -----------==> Town Criers Posting Board <==----------- | +| | +| Just another EXCRETION from the bowels of Sanctuary... | +|_____ City of _____| +| |_____ Beggars, _____| | +| The |_____ Criminals, _____| The | +| Home |_____ and Thieves _____| Hellfire | +| Board of |_____ _____| Bulletin Board | +| Sanctuary |_____________| 1-908-495-3926 | +|_________________________________________________________________________| + CALL IT!!! + +Originally Printed in: +CYBERTEK +The Cyberpunk Technical Journal Issue #4, November/December 1990 +P.O.

They work on one of two different +ways. The first (and best for us) type is the kind that you pick up the +phone and press a button; which activates an autodialer that calls customer +service. This one generally looks like a regular traditional style wall +phone without a dial and a push button somewhere near the phone instructing +you to press it to get customer service. The second type can either be a +phone, or is sometimes just a handset set into a mounting on the counter +which tells you to pick it up for assistance. There are variations in +appearance with the two types, but the button is the giveaway. + + What you can do with the first type is pick up the phone and not push +the button. You should just get a dialtone like in most regular phone +lines, and you can dial out to anywhere by flashing the switchhook, or if +the line has touchtone service, by using a portable touchtone dialer +available at RADIO SHIT (er..I mean Radio Shack. Also, if you do not know +how to "flash" a switchhook, consult BIOC Agent 003's Tutorials or your +local phreak or phreak oriented BBS.) for $19.95. Some of these phones are +hooked up to the bank's PBX (Private Branch Exchange), in which case you'll +have to dial the extension for an outside line, in most places this is +usually a "9", "99" or something similar. You can sometimes find out if +it's on a PBX by listening to the tones coming out of the autodialer. If +it puts out more than 10 digits (tones), or puts out a couple digits and +pauses before dialing the rest, then it's on a PBX. Of course some +autodialers mute the touch tones so you can't hear them. + + With the second type you can call customer service, and either ask +some stupid question, or say "Sorry, wrong number". When the nice lady +hangs up in MOST cases you will get a dialtone and then you can dial out. +(A lot like when you use a diverter). However if the phone line does not +have touch tone, you are outta luck; as the autodialer is activated by +picking up the phone, the flashing of the switchhook will false start the +autodialer. So, if you can't use your TT(touch tone) pad, your outta luck. + + Getting into ATM lobbies is pretty easy. They use magnetic strip card +access. An ATM card obviously works, as well as credit cards, calling +cards, and anything else with a magnetic strip on the back. The bolts on +the door are often exposed and can be jimmied open. Some of the locking +mechanisms don't even work. + + There are a few things that you have to worry about. The first is +that someone might notice you staying on the phone for an extended period +of time, and get suspicious (This is not a BIG risk because most people +could really care less what you are doing, EXCEPT for those fucking goodie- +two-shoe bitches which want to make a Citizen's Arrest so that they can get +in good with your local PTA). The second is that you run the risk of being +recorded when you are in the lobby. Most ATM lobbies have cameras in them. +Usually the camera is located in the ATM, and only goes on when a +transaction in being made, but some places have 24 hour surveillance +systems. These are usually externally mounted, and quite visible. If you +see a camera in the lobby, don't mess around in there. The other +possibility is that the phone itself could be BUGGED by the bank. +According to law they are supposed to inform you with a beep every ten +seconds, but no one does that anyway (NOTE: The Gestapo [Ma Bell] is +supposed to notify you in the same way if they were bugging you at your +home phone, but they will usually say something like "I was checking the +line to see if everything was ok, and OVERHEARD some criminal dealings". +This is a common way to catch people on the phone, so be careful what you +say on public telephone lines.) You could do a quick look around to see if +you can find anything on the line. If you don't see anything "funny", and +can trace all the wiring, then you are probably safe. All in all, your +best and safest bet is to use an ATM located away from a bank, and one +where you can see the wiring coming from the outside to the phone.

SKINHEAD/ICS + +Hi freaks! + +Short time ago I got a call from an AT&T Operator! First, I +didn't understand what this guy wanted, but I got a terrible +shock. +I thought this was maybe a joke from some of my friends, but the +Operator connected me further to some blabla security (didn't +understand what he said). +This guy then told me that they had traced me and that I'll be +prosecuted. I said: "Touch my ass!" and hung up. I wanted to call +my friend and tell him all that, but the security guy was still +in the line and gave me a number in the USA that I should call +immadately! As I was in panic, I called there. + +The guy at the other side of the line was very friendly and could +even speak a little bit german. He said I should give him the +adress of my card supplier (that's what he said to me!!!), +otherwise they would prosecute me for all the fraud that was done +with the card that I used. This is now easier since the Telecom +(Skinhead quote: German Telecom,don't know about other countries) +now works very close together with AT&T. But the Telecom wouldn't +prosecute me for anything, because it was AT&T who lost the +money. This was what the security guy said to me! + +A few days later I got a call from a german lawyer that works for +AT&T. He said that he already started my prosecution! Now I got +real frightend because a few weeks later I got a letter from the +judgement in which I was accused for the following things: +*Credit Card fraud +*heavy intervention into the Telecom +*obtain service by trickery + +I told them my card supplier, and can await a very low +punishment. I tell you: DON'T USE CARDS! (Skinhead quote: What an +asshole!!!). + +The Telecom has,after the installing of digital lines in nearly +whole germany, started a new system, that makes it very easy to +trace. This can even work (but not perfect) on analog (!!) lines. +Till the last OVS it is no problem, after that guys from a +private company will be payed by AT&T to trace back your call. In +100% digital lines (digital till your room) it is too late +anyway. AT&T has a new controlsystem at which they can read YOUR +number, so not only the country you're calling from, even YOUR +number! This number will be with begin of this month (June) +printed onto the bill of the cardowner. So if the cardowner can +prove that he wasn't, and nobody else who is allowed to use was, +in germany at that time, than he can prosecute the owner of this +number (YOU!). Nobody knows yet if this is possible with the +judgement laws, but it seems that already a few persons were +busted that way. + +To really destroy these phreakers, AT&T will give cards a much +bigger limit so they will work for longer, even if you already +used them very much (Many days of european calls etc...) they +will still work. Trash these cards, this is a trap! + +Ok, I hope I could help some of you with this article! +Cheers! +Dual/Independent + +Ok, here's Skinhead again, down here follows the original article +for the guys who won't believe the translation. So get a german +dictionary and translate it yourself! + +Hallo Leute! + +Vor kurzem bekam ich einen Anruf von einem AT&T-Operator ! +Ich hatte erst garnichts verstanden, was los war bekam aber einen +tierischen Schock. +Ich hielt dies erst fr einen Scherz von meinen Freunden, aber +der Operator verband mich weiter zu irgendwas mit blabla-Security +(hab ich nicht genau verstanden!). +Dieser kl„rte mich auf, dass ich getraced wurde und eine Anzeige +zu erwarten h„tte! Ich sagte ihm, "leck mich doch" und legte auf. +Ich wollte bei meinem Freund anrufen, und ihm das erz„hlen, aber +der Typ war noch in der Line (kennt man ja).

Er meinte, ich solle meine Card- +Supplier (wortw”rtlich) preisgeben, ansonsten wolle man mich +fr den enstandenen Schaden verantwortlich machen. Dies sei +jetzt einfacher, seitdem die Telekom mit AT&T enger zusammen- +arbeitet. Die Telekom wrde allerdings keine gerichtlichen +Schritte einleiten, da Sie sowieso kein Geld bek„me, und ihr +das so ziemlich egal w„r. Dies war eine private Meinung, +so sagte er mir! + +Nach einigen Tagen bekam ich einen Anruf von dem deutschen Anwalt +von AT&T. Dieser sagte, er h„tte gerichtliche Schritte +eingeleitet!! Nun bekam ich es mit der Angst, denn einige Wochen +sp„ter kam wirklich ein Schreiben vom Gericht, in dem wurde ich +angeklagt: +Kreditkartenbetrug, schwerer Eingriff in das Fernmeldewesen sowie +Erschleichung einer Dienstleistung. + +Ich habe meinen Card-Supplier preisgegeben, und bekomme nun eine +geringere Strafe! Ich rate euch: LASST DIE FINGER VON CARDS!!! + +Die Telekom hat mit Hilfe der digitalisierung der deutschen Netze +ein neues System in Betrieb genommen, das es sehr einfach macht, +zu tracen! Dies ist auch bedingt (!) in Analogen Systemen +m”glich! Bis zur letzten OVS ist es kein problem mehr, danach +werden dann Leute eines Privat-Unternehmens eingesetzt, die im +Auftrag von AT&T den Anrufer zurckverfolgen. +Dies geschieht dann in der alt bew„hrten Weise! +In 100% digitalen Netzen (bis zur Dose hin mein ich) ist es eh zu +sp„t. AT&T hat nun ein neues Kontrollpult, auf dem ist die Nummer +ablesbar, also nicht mehr nur das Land, sondern auch die Nummer. +Diese Nummer erscheint mit beginn dieses Monats (Juni) auch auf +den Rechnungen der Kartenbesitzer!! Ihnen ist somit die +M”glichkeit gegeben, wenn sie nachweisen k”nnen das sie die +Person nicht kennen, an einem anderen Ort waren etc. die Person +die bei der Telekom fr diesen Anschluss angegeben ist, +anzuzeigen. Ob dies Gerichtlich durchsetzbar ist, weiž noch +keiner, aber es scheint als ob schon einige Personen auf diese +Art dran glauben mussten! + +Um diese "Phreaker" auch wirklich dingfest zu machen, lockt AT&T +die Leute damit, das die Cards nicht so schnell kaputt gehen, +also sie halten unwahrscheinlich lange, obwohl man die Karte +schon zu stark belastet hat (Tagelange Europa-Calls). + WERFT DIESE KARTEN WEG!!

All that is visible from the surface is a +Yellow brick building the size of a large garage. Visitors are buzzed in +through two ground level doors and must walk down four flights of stairs. +Once at the bottom they must pass through two heavy vault doors that open one +at a time. The two-story subterranean complex was constructed during the late +1960's. Blasting through solid granite was required to build the building, +then concrete was poured and reinforced for the walls, and the roof and four +feet of Earth was laid atop of that. Then entire structure is wrapped in steel + +to shield the inside from the electromagnetic pulses sent out by a nuclear +explosion. + + During peacetime, the Netcog center is a switching relay station on the +Boston-Miami cable. In a pre-nuclear war crisis, the center's normal staff +will be joined by workers from the AT&T Communications operations center at +Bedminster, New Jersey, fifteen miles away. The workers at Bedminster +oversee the nation's AT&T long distance network. Following a nuclear attack, +they will reroute calls around cities that have ceased to exist. + + The AT&T Communications staff will work under fluorescent lights in a +large open room in the Netcog center. Their phones, desks, and terminals +all waiting for them. Bell System files are stored nearby and updated +monthly, and a phone list of sixty people to be called to the center in a +crisis is pinned to a bulletin board. + + In another area of the complex, lined wall to wall are ESS running units +which are attached to the ceiling by heavy steel springs and anchored to the +floor by think elastic bands. If the building is struck by a massive shock +wave, the elastic bands will snap and the switching units will swing, cushioned +by the springs. All other mechanical equipment in the center is similarly +shock mounted. The storerooms are stocked with tanks of drinking water, and +kerosene for generators. The ventilation system is equipped with fallout +filters and blast valves that will close if a blast wave hits. Sometimes the +blast valves are activated by thunder, which jolts the peacetime Netcog crew. + + The desks for AT&T executives are in a large open area next to the +operations center. The AT&T Communications crew will run what is left of the +long distance network, with help from backup centers in Kansas and Georgia and +seven other underground centers. + + AT&T is a nuclear prepared corporation, across the country AT&T routed +long distance cables around target cities and buried the cables inside steel +and concrete conduits to protect them from nuclear blast. The 4,000 miles +transcontinental cable was built by the Bell system to withstand national +crisises, including a nuclear blast short of a direct hit. It can take +pressure of over 100 pounds per square inch; an overall pressure of one half- +pound per square inch would crush the average home. All communications +equipment associated with the cable is shockmounted in underground concrete +buildings. The cable runs from New York to California, skirting all major +cities and potential target areas. + + If an attack were to strike the nation and the telephone system was still +in operable condition special FCC regulations would be put in effect to +direct telephone usage. These regulations outline a telephone call priority. +Sorta of like the Autovon priority system ( Priority, Immediate, Flash, and +Flash Override ) The highest priority category is designated " FLASH +EMERGENCY. " All other calls in progress will be interrupted to put through +FLASH EMERGENCY calls, which will include those involving command and control +of military forces and " conduct of diplomatic negotiations critical to the +arresting or limiting of hostilities. " From what I can understand the normal +telephone service will become in effect an Autovon, primarily for military +usage. + + In any case, the phone system would probably be trashed.

Put simply, Telecom have a monopoly on first home-phone in- +stallation and the core network (eg: the copper wires, the optical fibre, +the cellular network, etc.) + This all changed in late 1991 when Telecom was stripped of its monopoly and +forced to compete in a duopoly arrangement with a second carrier until 1997 +when the duopoly arrangement expires and it becomes free for all. The federal +government will be issuing a second-carrier license which will allow full +de-regulated competition for the first time in the provision of core network +services. While the telecommunications industry has been de-regulated for +quite some time (if you didn't like your Telecom phone, you could buy a +cellular phone or pager from anyone), there has never been any competition on +the initial connection service, or in the on-going provision of service. + When first offered, 31 different companies, mostly foreign, registered +interest in applying for the license which carries a $3 billion (US$ 2.5 +billion) license fee and includes three operational satellites (which no one +wants), and three others being built (which no one wants either) by Hughes +Aircraft Corporation. + There are now three consortiums left in the race: the Bellsouth/Cable and +Wireless consortium (C&W run the Mercury phone company in the United King- +dom), the Bell Atlantic/Ameritech consortium who recently bought the run- +down hovel phone system in that rather odd country next to us, New Zealand, +and a third party which has remained anonymous, though rumour has it that the +third consortium is led by Com Systems. + It is widely believed that Bellsouth will get the license and Bell Atlantic +will have to be content nursing sheep in New Zealand. As mentioned before, +until 1997 there will be a duopoly, with the exception of a third nationwide +cellular network to be licensed sometime next year or so. + + The Network + + The Telecom network consists largely of ARE-11 and Ericsson AXE-10 switching +systems though older ARF and step-by-step exchanges still exist in some rural +areas. The Ericsson AXE-10 exchanges are currently the most advanced exchanges +available for use by the general public. At present some 70 percent of the +Australian telephone network is fully computerised and this is expected to +reach a full 100 percent by around 1994/95. + The AXE-10 offers all the facilities of what the more advanced Western +Electric ESS systems offer such as Centrex facilities. One notable feature not +offered by Telecom, though it can be made available on the AXE-10 exchanges, +is ANI. Considering the problems US phone companies have encountered in of- +fering ANI services, Telecom has never made any comment on the facility, +though Bellsouth has said that it would be one of the new features it would +introduce should it be successful in bidding for the second carrier license. + DTMF dialling is available as standard on the AXE-10 exchanges while those +decrepit individuals unlucky enough to be on ARE-11 exchanges (like me) must +apply for a DTMF service. It doesn't cost any extra, but it keeps a few +failed bureaucrats in a job if you have to apply for it. The ARE-11 exchanges +are far less advanced than the AXE-10's. They do not offer any of the Centrex +or Easycall facilities (such as call waiting, three-way call, call diversion, +ANI, etc.) that the AXE-10 offers. + The telecom network command center is located in Exhibition Street in the +center of Melbourne with a fallback command center located in the Melbourne +suburb of Windsor. Smaller network command centers are located in each state +capital. + These two locations control all network management functions nationwide for +all exchanges with the exception of the old step-by-step exchanges. They also +control the nationwide data services and other special services such as +Austpac (X.25), Iterra (Satellite), ISDN, DDN Flexnet (Digital data Network), +MobileNet (Cellular), as well as a host of other services. + Being Telecom's home city, the central area of Melbourne is also the only +city to be fully linked up with optical fibre at this time. Telecom is +gradually overhauling its inter-city trunk lines with optical fibre (with the +microwave network acting as a backup). Melbourne, Canberra, and Sydney are +linked together by a 1000 km long stretch of fibre optic cable, with other +links currently under way. + + Payphones + + There are five types of payphones in use around Australia. These are: The +PhoneCard payphone (the new standard payphone), CardPhone (for credit and +debit cards), Bluephone, Goldphone (being replaced by Bluephone), and the +older rotary dial payphones which are progressively being phased out. + PhoneCard Payphone: the new standard payphone in Australia is the new +Telecom Phonecard Payphone. This phone uses either coins or pre-paid +telephone cards similar to the cards that NTT (Japan) used to use in their +payphones until the introduction of smartcard telephone cards. These pay- +phones are usually located in places such as airports, hotels, and on the +street. + Cardphone Payphone: these payphones only accepts credit or debit cards +such as Amex, Visa, Mastercard, and debit cards issued by most of the banks. +To place a call, a customer swipes their card through the card reader, then +enters their PIN number. After this is verified, the caller dials the number +they want and the call is charged back to their card. These phones are lo- +cated in airports, tourist areas, hotels and some central city locations. +They are generally not located in the street. + BluePhone Payphone: The BluePhone was so-called because it is blue - pretty +imaginative. These accept coins only and are only located indoors. Most may +be found in bars, groceries, supermarkets, restaurants, 7-11's, stores and +hotels. These are never located on the street. + GoldPhone Payphone: Prior to the world's greatest marketing coup, the Blue- +Phone, Telecom's crack advertising team christened the GoldPhone - it was +gold. The GoldPhones are unimpressive indoor phones such as the BluePhones +(See 2600 Spring 1990 for Photo) and are gradually replaced by the BluePhones. + CrapPhone Payphone: So named because that is what it is. This has been the +Telecom standard payphone for more than 10 years. While some have had push- +button dialers installed, most still use rotary dial mechanisms. These pay- +phones are easily distinguishable from their robust, but dull, metallic green +appearance. The unit itself is made of two inch thick steel. These phones may +be found in streets but are being progressively replaced bu the PhoneCard +payphone. By replacing coin-only payphones with card-accepting phones, Telecom +hopes to reduce the level of vandalism affecting payphones. + + Operator Numbers + +000 : Emergency Operator (Ask operator for emergency service.

Presents: // +// AXE 10 : Architecture // +// // +// An Overview of the AXE 10 System Architecture and functional Structure // +// // +///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// + + INTRODUCTION + ============ + + In march 1985, after a detailed evaluation of digital switching systems, BT + placed a contract with Ericsson Limited for the development of AXE10 for the + BT Network and for the supply of a quantity of exchanges. + + AXE10 is a duplicated-processor stored-program controlled digital + switching system developed by Telefon AB LM Ericsson of Sweden. The system + is structured for local, tandem, transit and combined exchange applications. + It can also be configured as a cewllular mobile or as an international + switching centre. + + SWITCHING ARCHITECTURE + ====================== + + The system architecture is logically divided into two main parts, the + switching system (APT) and the control system (APZ). See Figure 1. + + The switching system (APT) performs traffic and operation/ + maintennance functions. It comprises four main hardware subsystems: + + Subscriber Switching SubSystem (SSS) + Group Switching SubSystem (GSS) + Trunk and Signalling SubSystem (TSS) + Common-Channel Signalling SubSystem (CCS) + + and the following software subsystems : + + Traffic Control SubSystems (TCS) + Charging SubSystem (CHS) + Operation and Maintennance SubSystem (OMS) + Subscriber Services SubSystem (SUS) + Network Management SubSystem (NMS) + + All Hardware subsystems have a hardware component. + + The control system (APZ) is made up of centralised and distributed + logic achieved through the following subsystems: + + Central Processor SubSystem (CPS) + Regional Processor SubSystem (RPS) + Maintennance SubSystem (MAS) + Support Processor SubSystem (SPS) + Data Communication SubSystem (DCS) + File Management SubSystem (FMS) + Man-Machine Communication Subsystem (MCS) + + In Earlier Exchanges the input/output subsystem was used instead of SPS, FMS, + MCS and DCS. See Figure 2 for the Subsystem structure. + + + FUNCTIONAL STRUCTURE + ==================== + The division of the systems (APT and APZ) into subsystems is determined by + conditions and requirements that arise from features, traffic handling and + operations and maintennance functions. See Figure 3. + + The subsystems, including their interfaces, are designed such that + they can be used for different applications with the minimum of adaptation. + Each subsystem is built from a number of function blocks which in themselves + comprise hardware, central software, regional sofware and data components, + or just central software and data components. Each function block is designed + to execute a specific set of functions or sub-functions. A library of + several hundred functional blocks exists to satisfy all applications and + individual exchange requirements. Standardised interface signalling is + extensively used between blocks not only to achieve the neccesary flexibility + to satisfy customer's requirements, but to also enable new technology to be + introduced within the system in an efficient manner. See Figure 4. + + To meet the twin needs of high capacity and low cost, the complex + executove tasks neccesary to operate the system are executed by the + duplicated central processor (CP) working in a paralell synchronous mode. + The routine, high volume tasks, such as scanning operations and for the + direct control of hardware, are distributed across a dimensionable number + of small regional processors (RPs). Regional Processors controlling several + hardware units are configured in a load sharing mode. The software driving + the APT functions, therefore, has both APT and APZ elements. + + THE APT SUBSYSTEMS + ================== + + Subscriber Switching SubSystem (SSS) + ------------------------------------ + + The subscriber switching subsystem contains the digital subscriber switch + and is built up of 16 line switch modules (LSMs). An LSM serves 128 analogue + subscribers or can support four 30-Channel systems for ISDN Customers. + Its principal function is to supervise the state of connected subscriber + lines, and to set up release connections by sending and receiving signals + to and from subscribers. The SSS comprises both hardware and Software. To + allow for the possibility of reducing line-plant costs, the local exchange + may be engineered with distributed switching in the form of a remote + subscribers switch (RSS). + + Trunk and Signalling SubSystem (TSS) + ------------------------------------ + + The trunk and signalling subsystem includes the equipment for connecting + trunks to the group switch. It supervises the state of trunks to other + exchanges by measn of the signals it receives and sends. The TSS consists + of both hardware and software. + + Group Switching SubSystem (GSS) + ------------------------------- + + The group switching subsystem houses a time-space-time digital switch built + up of duplicated time switch modules (TSMs) and duplicated space switch + modules (SPMs). Its primary purpose is to set yp a 64Kbit/s path between + SSS and TSS devices through the group switching network. It is also + responsible for network synchronisation functions. The GSS comprises + hardware and software. + + Traffic Control SubSystem (TCS) + ------------------------------- + + The Traffic Control SubSystem is wholly software, and controls and supervises + the set-up and release of connections. The TCS stores and analyses digit + information received from the SSS and TSS, and then, after checking against + previously recorded information, for example, subscriber categories, routing + and tariff classes, decides how the call should be handled. + + Charging SubSystem (CHS) + ------------------------ + + The Charging SubSystem consists of central software blocks and is responsible + for the task of charging calls by means of very accurate pulse metering + techniques. In addition to normal charging, special subscribers charging + facilities are available such as itemisation and advice duration and charge + (AD&C) information. The CHS also provides the administration with charging + statistics and per-event charging information. It functions by monitoring and + then analysing call information from the TCS or SUS (for service information). + Output to the FMS follows execution of the charging function. + + Operation and Maintennance SubSystem (OMS) + ------------------------------------------ + + The Operation and maintennance SubSystem mainly comprises software blocks. + Its function is one of system supervision, fault location, collection of + statistics and for dealing with the administration's operation and + maintennance functions. It can be operated either in the local or in remote + mode, say from a remote operation and maintennance centre. + + Subscriber Services SubSystem (SUS) + ----------------------------------- + The subscriber services system consists entirely of central software. Its + function blocks provide a variety of subscriber services. Typical SUS + services include: + + Abbreviated Dialling + Three-Party Services (Enquiry, hold and transfer) + Diverion (Immediate, On Busy and and on no-reply) + Malicious Call Trace + Call Barring + Automatic Alarm Call + + Common Channel Signalling SubSystem (CCS) + ----------------------------------------- + The Common-channel signalling subsystem implements the message transfer part + (MTP) of CCITT Signalling Systems No. 6 and No. 7. The subsystem consists + of hardware and software blocks, the hardware devices (signalling terminals) + being connected to the external signalling links via a semi-permanent + connection through the group switch. + + Network Management Subsystem (NMS) + ---------------------------------- + The functions of the network management subsystem are implemented in + software. The role of NMS is to provide access via the normal input/output + devices for the administration to monitor continuously the state of the + network. + + + THE APZ SUBSYSTEMS + ================== + + Central Processor SubSystem (CPS) + --------------------------------- + The Central Processor subsystem is realised in both hardware and software. + The CPS executes the complex software tasks which are stored in the various + APT blocks. The main hardware parts of the central processor, which is + duplicated and runs in the synchronous mode, are the central processing unit + (CPU) and the memory stores. These stores comprise the main store (MS) or + program store (PS), reference store (RS) and the data store (DS). + The purpose of the CPS is to execute the following functions: + + o Program Control including supervision of functions and for measuring + processor load. + + o Loading and storage of tasks + + o Output and updating reloading information + + o Controlling fault tracing programs resident in the MAS or RPs. + + + Regional Processor SubSystem (RPS) + ---------------------------------- + The regional processor subsystem consists of both hardware and software + blocks. The purpose of the RPS is to run the simple, routine and very + frequent tasks to drive the RP part of the APT software and hardware. The + number of functions performed by an RP pair depends upon the complexity + of these functions. The number of RP pairs required for a given exchange + depends upon its size and the complexity of its signalling systems. + + Maintennance SubSystem (MAS) + ---------------------------- + The maintennance subsystem consists of both hardware and software. The major + role is to supervise the operation of the APZ control system and takes the + appropriate action should a malfunction occur. + + Support Processor SubSystem (SPS) + --------------------------------- + The support processor subsystem consists of one or more independent + processors which drive input/output equipment such as personal computers, + visual display units and disc drives which are connected to the subsystem. + + Data Communications System (DCS) + -------------------------------- + The software for the data communications system resides in the SPS. It also + has a hardware element to support protocols such as X.25. Its function is to + support remote operation and maintennance, and transfer of itemised call + accounting data. + + File Management SubSystem (FMS) + ------------------------------- + The file management subsystem consists wholly of software. It provides + storage in the event that a data link failure occurs. + + Man-Machine Communications SubSystem (MCS) + ------------------------------------------ + The man-machine communications subsystem consists of software. It provides + security checking and authorises I/O devices and the operator for a + particular function. It routes data output from the exchange to the presel- + -ected terminal(s). In addition, the MCS controls the generation of alarm + printouts or displays. + + RELIABILITY + =========== + System Performance is determined by both hardware and software reliability. + Hardware reliability is achieved by choice of components and by duplication + of units which perform a task affecting a proportion of the exchange + function. + + Software reliability exists through system recovery functions which + rely on three restart levels namely: + + o Small Restart - The APZ clears all jobs in process of being established. + The status of all existing calls is maintained. + + o Large Restart - If the smll restart is rapidly followed by a new software + error then a more extensive restart involving a reset of all dynamic data + will take place. All existing calls are cleared. + + o Restart with reload - The highest level of restart is enacted when the + restart fails to lead to a succesful program execution. The system then + automatically reloads programs and data from an external store. All + existing calls are cleared. + + + diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/baiq.txt b/textfiles.com/phreak/baiq.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..d329421a --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/baiq.txt @@ -0,0 +1,142 @@ + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Date: Fri, 14 Feb 92 13:02:52 -0500 +From: krfiny!listen@uunet.uu.net +Subject: Revised Listing of Class Codes; Other Recent Notes + + +Here's my update to John Gilbert's list (posted/distributed as Volume +12, Issue 124, Message 1 of 11). + +My main "value added" is adding the non-technical terms next to +the technical terms, and sources for the information. + +The following list was compiled from comp.dcom.telecom postings and +the Bell Atlantic "IQ services" information line at (800) 365-5810. + +CLASS and Custom Calling Feature Control Codes: +(These appear to be standard, but may be changed locally) + +*57 Customer Orignated Trace (COT) Activation "call trace" + The number of the last call you received is logged at the CO. + You get an acknowledging recording.

THERE ARE BASICALLY 7 +TYPES OF OPERATORS. SOME CAN BE VERY +USEFUL FOR INFORMATION, LIKE LITTLE +HINTS FOR SPRINT AND MCI CODES! ANY +WAYS, I WILL EXPLAIN IN DETAIL THE7 +OPERATORS THAT ARE REALLY IMPORTANT. + +TRAFFIC SERVICE POSISTION OPERATORS +=---------------------------------= + +THIS OPERATOR IS THE OPERATOR YOU +USUALLY HEAR WHEN YOU CALL FROM A PAY +PHONE. SHE IS IN CHARGE OF GETTING ALL +BILLING INFO FOR CALLING CARDS AND +THIRD NUMBER CALLS. MAKING SURE YOU GET +THE RIGHT PERSON ON 1 TO 1 CALLS. +MAKING SURE THE PERSON ON THE OTHER +WILL PAY FOR THE COLLECT CALL. AND +LAST BUT NOT LEAST VERIFYING CALLING +CARDS, AND MAKING SURE YOU AREN'T +USING A CALLING CARD YOU AREN'T SUPP- +OSED TO BE USING. DON'T FUCK WITH THESE +OPERATORS, FOR THEY ARE DANGEROUS. THEY +ARE KNOWN TO HAVE THE CAPABILITIES OF +KNOWING IF YOU ARE CALLING FROM A +FORTRESS PHONE. + +INWARD OPERATORS +=--------------= + +THIS OPERATOR IS BASICALLY THE "0" +OPERATOR. SHE ISN'T MUCH OF USE. SHE +CAN JUST TELL YOU THINGS LIKE L.D. +INFORMATION. SHE CAN BE QUITE HELPFUL +FOR SPRINT NUMBERS. I KNOW ONE GUY WHO +SAID HE WANTED TO KNOW THE LOCAL SPRINT +NUMBERS TO CALL HIS GRANDMA, AND SHE +WAS RETARDED ENOUGH TO BELIEVE HIM. +DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THESE RETARDS +THOUGH, IT IS PERFECTLY LEGAL FOR THEM +TO LISTEN IN ON YOUR PHONE CALLS IF +THEY THINK AN ILLEGAL ACT IS GOING ON. +ALSO, THEY HAVE THE POWER TO MONITOR +YOUR PHONE AT ALL TIMES (MODEM OR NO +MODEM!). + +DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE OPERATORS +=----------------------------= + +THIS OPERATOR IS NOT MUCH OF A HELP IN +THE WAY OF HACKING, BUT SHE CAN BE +HELPFUL FOR PREFIXES. I ASKED HERE ONCE +FOR THE OTHER SURROUNDING PREFIXES OF +SEATTLE, AND SHE GAME THEM TO ME. IT +CAME IN VERY HELPFUL FOR GETTING MCI +NUMBERS. BASICALLY, YOU PHONE THIS +OPERATOR AND YOU GET PHONE NUMBERS OF +HER. NO BIG DEAL! + +DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE FOR THE DEAF +=-------------------------------= + +THESE OPERATORS ARE VERY, VERY HELPFUL, +FOR HACKING THAT IS. MOST DEAF PEOPLE +HAVE TELETYPEWRITER TERMINALS. SHE +TALKS TO THEM LIKE I WOULD TALK TO YOU +VIA A MODEM. IN FACT, THAT IS BASICALLY +WHAT A TELETYPEWRITER IS, A MODEM. HERE +IS A HELPFUL HINT FOR USING THIS +OPERATOR. PLAY DUMB, AND YOU WILL GET +ANYTHING OUT OF HER. ONE MORE THING, +ALOT OF MODEMS CAN'T COMMUNICATE WITH +TELETYPEWRITER BECAUSE THEY THEY DON'T +SUPPORT BAUDOUT. THE MODEMS I KNOW THAT +SUPPORT BAUDOUT, ARE AWESOME APPLE CATS +AND COOL PROMODEMS! + +CN/A OPERATORS +=------------= + +THESE OPERATORS ARE PROBABLY THE BEST +OPERATORS FOR HACKING! THEY CAN GIVE +YOU ANYTHING YOU WANT. THE TROUBLE IS, + HOW DO YOU GET IT. ANYWAYS, THESE +OPERATORS WILL GIVE YOU UNLISTED +NUMBERS IF YOU HAVE A CALLING CARD. +THEY ARE VERY SECRETIVE, AND DON'T +LET PEOPLE GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING. +BUT IF YOU HAVE ONE OF THESE BEUTIES +AS FRIENDS, YOU'VE GOT IT MADE! + +INTERCEPT OPERATORS +=-----------------= + + THESE OPERATORS ARE IN CHARGE OF +SECURITY. IF YOU ARE REPORTED TO THE +COPS, FOR USING DIALERS OR HACKERS, +CHANCES ARE, IT WAS THESE BITCHES WHO +NARKED ON YOU. THEY FLIRT THEIR TRASERS +AND ARE QUICK WITH ONE. GET CAUGHT BY +ONE OF THESE OPERATORS AND YOU'LL +BE WAISTED! + +OUTER OPERATORS +=-------------= + +THESE OPERATORS ARE IN CHARGE OF +CONNECTION YOU TO ELECTRONIC SWITCH- +BOARDS. THEY CAN BE VERY USEFUL +OPERATORS IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE +DOING. MORE ON THESE OPERATORS IN +RAMBUG'S HACKING VOLUME #2. + + + +WELL, THAT BASICALLY COVERS THE +OPERATORS. AS YOU CAN SEE, THESE +BITCHES CAN BE USEFUL. + +NOW TO SHOW YOU HOW AREA CODES WORK. +THE FIRST NUMBER OF THE AREA CODE IS +A NUMBER FROM 2 - 9. THE SECOND NUMBER +IS 0 - 9. THE THIRD NUMBER IS FROM +0 - 1. USUALLY AN AREA CODE CAN'T ROSS +OVER A PROVINCES/STATES LINE. THI +MEANS, YOU CAN'T HAVE THE SAME AREA +CODE FOR VICTORIA AND TORONTO. BUT, +I REPEAT BUT, HERE ARE SOME EXCEPTIONS: + +510 - TWX (USA) +610 - TWX (CANANDA) +700 - RESERVED FOR LATER USAGE +710 - TWX (USA) +800 - WATTS LINES +810 - DIAL-IT SERVICES +910 - TWX (USA & CANADA) + +EXPLANATIONS ON THESE SERVICES ON +WILL BE MORE EXPLAINED IN RAMBUG'S +HACKING VOLUME #2. WELL, THIS WRAPPES +UP THIS VOLUME. I HOPE THIS FILE HELPS +YOU MORE ON THE WORLD OF HACKING. +ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE, YOU CAN +REACH ME ON ANY OF THE BOARDS I +MENTIONED IN THE TITLE.

ALSO, LIKE I PROMISED IN THE LAST +VOLUME, WE WOULD TALK MORE ABOUT THOSE +AREA CODE EXCEPTIONS. JUST BEFORE I GO +ON, I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS MY THANXS +ONCE AGAIN TO THE FOLLOWING FOR THERE +SUPPORT: + +JUDGE DREDD +THE WOLF +MYSTIC WARRIOR + +--------------------------------------- + +NOW LET'S GET STRAIGHT TO THE ISSUE. +AS I WAS SAYING IN VOLUME #1, OUTER +OPERATORS ARE IN CHARGE OF CONNECTING +YOU TO ELECTRONIC SWITCHBOARDS. YOU +KNOW, LIKE SAY YOU WANT TO CALL THROUGH +*SPRINT* OR *MCI*, YOU HAVE TO TYPE IN +YOUR 6-8 DIGIT CODE, AND IF YOU JUST +CALLED ANY OLD NUMBER AND PUNCHED IN +YOUR A CODE, THEY OPERATOR WOULD THINK +YOU BELONGED TO A MENTAL INSTITUTE! +NOW, WHEN YOU CALL A SPRINT NUMBER OR +MCI NUMBER, YOU ARE GOING THROUGH AN +OUTER OPERATOR, EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY NOT +KNOW IT. WHEN YOU DIAL THE SPRINT/MCI +NUMBER, YOU ARE REALLY CALLING THE +OUTER OPERATOR, WHO IN TURN CONNECTS +YOU TO THE SWITCHBOARD. YOU SAY, HOLY +SHIT, SHE CAN SEE WHAT I AM DOING, AND +WILL KNOW I AM PHREAKING VIA THE +SPRINT/MCI SWITCHBOARDS THAT A COMPANY +IS RENTING! MY ANSWER: NOPE, SHE CAN'T +SEE NOTHING YOU TYPE OR DO, IN FACT, +SHE DOEN'T EVEN KNOW THE NUMBER YOU +ARE CALLING FROM. THEY YOU SAY, I HAVE +NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. WRONG! THE +OUTER OPERATOR CAN'T TRACE YOU, BUT +THE SWITCHBOARD CAN! THAT IS WHY THERE +IS A RISK CALLING AND HACKING AT +SPRINT/MCI CODES. HERE ARE A FEW HINTS +SO YOU DON'T GET CAUGHT USING +SPRINT/MCI WHEN YOU FINALLY (SIGH) GET +A CODE. + +[1] TRY AND FIND OUT WHAT COMPANY'S + CODE YOU HAVE. THAT WAY, YOU KNOW + WHAT TO CALL. FOR INSTANCE, IF YOU + HAVE THE CODE FOR SHOPPERS DRUG + MART, YOU WOULDN'T CALL SAFEHOUSE + BBS IN NEW YORK! BUT IF YOU HAD + THE CODE FOR NATIONAL TELEWORKS + CORPORATION, IT WOULD MAKE SENSE + CALLING A BBS. + +[2] CALL AT ONLY THE BUSINESS'S HOURS + OF OPERATION, IT WOULD LOOK STUPID + AND SUSPICIOUS CALLING AT 3:00 AM + WHEN THE COMPANY'S OFFICE BUILDING + IS CLOSED. + +[3] NEVER CALL SOMETHING THAT IS + CONNECTED TO A PHONE COMPANY. + THAT COULD PROVE TO BE DARING + AND VERY DANGEROUS. + +[4] NEVER CALL FROM A FORTRESS PHONE, + BECAUSE IF YOU DO, THE VERY TIME + YOU CONNECT, IT WILL COME UP ON + AN INTERCEPT OPERATORS COMPUTER + (READ ABOUT THESE IN VOLUME #1.) + + +WELL, THAT IS BASICALLY IT ON HINTS, +AND ALWAYS REMEMBER, NEVER DO STUPID +THINGS WHEN CALLING THROUGH SPRINT OR +MCI. YOU WOULD BE PUTTING YOUR +PHREAKING CAREER ON THE LINE. + +NOW TO TALK ABOUT THE AREA CODE +EXCEPTIONS I MENTIONED IN VOLUME #1. +HERE IS A DETAILED DEFINITION OF EACH +OF THE AREA NUMBERS THAT I MENTIONED +WERE USED IN ALL STATES AND PROVINCES: + + +AREA CODE: 510 TWX (USA) +=---------------------------= + +TWX IS A WATTS SYSTEM, USED MOSTLY +BY MA BELL ITSELF. NOT MUCH USE TO US, +UNLESS YOU ARE TOTALLY INTO FINDING +OUT LOCAL AND LONG DISTANCE RATES +TO OTHER COUNTRIES. EXCEPTIONALLY +BORING IN MY OPINION. GTE IS A WATTS +SYSTEM, IF YOU WERE WONDERING. + +AREA CODE: 610 TWX (CANADA) +=------------------------------= + +SAME AS U.S.A.'S TWX, EXCEPT IT IS +OR CANADA. + +AREA CODE: 700 RESERVED +=-----------------------= + +UNKNOWN TO ME. ALL I KNOW, IT IS +NOT USED PRESENTLY, AND IS RESERVED +BY MA BELL FOR LATER USAGE. + +AREA CODE: 710 TWX (USA) +=--------------------------= + +ANOTHER STUPID WATTS LINE. NOTHING +TO GET HYPER OVER. + +AREA CODE: 800 WATTS LINE +=-------------------------= + +THIS WATTS LINE IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT +KIND OF WATTS LINE. IT IS USED BY +BUSINESS'S FOR THERE OWN CHAINS OF +STORES TO CALL FREE. ALSO, THEY CAN +BE RENTED FOR PUBLIC USAGE, AND ARE +TOLL-FREE. I AM SURE YOU ALL HAVE SEEN +COMERCIALS SAYING CALL: FRED'S HOOKER +SUPPLY, CALL TOLL-FREE 1-800-XXX-XXXX, +OR SOMETHING TO THAT AFFECT. + +AREA CODE: 810 DIAL-IT SERVICES +=-------------------------------= + +SAME AS 800 LINES EXCEPT IS COST 50 +CENTS THE FIRST MINUTE AND THEN 35 +CENTS AFTER THAT FOR EACH EXTRA MINUTE. +NOT MUCH ON THIS.

WELL, IN THIS VOLUME +I WILL TRY AND COVER ALL KEY POINTS AND +ISSUES THAT ARE IMPORTANT. NOW ON WITH +IT..... + + +BASICALLY, MA BELL IS YOUR LOCAL PHONE +COMPANY (NO KIDDING!). THEY ARE IN +CHARGE OF YOUR PHONES AND LINES RUNNING +FROM YOUR HOUSE OR BUSINESS. YOU ARE +RENTING YOUR PHONE FROM THEM AND THEY +HAVE THE POWER TO TAKE IT AWAY, NO +QUESTIONS ASKED. THEY ARE YOUR LINKS +TO OTHER PLACES LONG-DISTANCE (UNLESS, +YOU'RE USING SPRINT,MCI, OR AT&T). +NOW THAT YOU KNOW WHAT MA BELL IS, I +WILL GO ON AND EXPLAIN WHAT KIND +OF JUNK THEY DO AND HAVE. + +LONG DISTANCE CALLS +=-----------------= + +THERE ARE BASICALLY THREE KIND OF LONG +DISTANCE CALLS: A DIRECT DIALED CALL, +OPERATOR-ASSISTED STATION-TO-STATION +CALL, AND OPERATOR-ASSISTED PERSON- +TO-PERSON CALL. + +A DIRECT DIALED CALL: A CALL YOU DIAL +DIRECTLY WITHOUT OPERATOR ASSISTED. + +OPERATOR-ASSISTED STATION-TO-STATION +CALL: A CALL THAT MAY REQUIRE OPERATOR +ASSISTANCE FOR COMPLETION. YOU WILL +TALK TO ANYONE WHO ANSWERS, BUT YOU +MAY NEED AN OPERATOR'S AID TO REACH THE +NUMBER OR FOR ANY OTHER REASONS. +EXAMPLES OF SUCH CALLS ARE: CALLING +CARDS, COIN CALLS, COLLECT CALLS, +BILLED TO THIRD NUMBER CALLS, HOTEL/ +MOTEL CALLS, AND TIME OR CHARGES. +CHARGING BEGINS WHEN THE CALLED TELE- +PHONE IS ANSWERED. + +OPERATOR-ASSISTED PERSON-TO-PERSON +CALL: FOR THOSE TIMES WHEN YOU WOULD +LIKE TO TALK DIRECTLY TO A PERSON, +TELEPHONE, DEPARTMENT, OR OFFICE +REACHED THROUGH A CUSTOMER'S SWITCH- +BOARD (PBX). PERSON-TO-PERSON CALLS +MAY BE COMBINED WITH CALLING CARDS, +COIN, COLLECT, BILLED TO THIRD NUMBER, +HOTEL/MOTEL, AND TIME AND CHARGES +CALLS. CHARGING STARTS WHEN CONVER- +SATION BEGINS. + +CALLING CARDS +=-----------= + +A CALLING CARD, YOU MAY PLACE CALLS +FROM TOUCH-TONE PHONES AND CHARGE THEM +TO THEIR CALLING CARDS. THESE CALLS ARE +MORE CONVENIENT THAN "COLLECT" AND +"BILL TO THIRD NUMBER" CALLS. + +BILL TO THIRD NUMBER +=------------------= + +THIS IS AN INTERESTING FEATURE THAT +MA BELL HAS FOR US. YOU CAN PLACE A +CALL FROM A PHONE AND CHARGE IT TO +YOUR OWN PHONE. WHAT A LITTLE NICE +TRICK TO DO IS, GO TO A PAY PHONE +AND CHARGE THE LONG-DISTANCE PHONE +CALL TO THEM. IT WORKS, CAUSE THE +OPERATOR, THINKS YOU DON'T HAVE ANY +MONEY, OR SOMETHING, AND IF YOU ASK +SHE/HE HAS TO GIVE IT TO YOU. TRY +IT. IT CREATES ALOT OF HAVOC... + +CONFERENCE CALLS +=--------------= + +YOU CAN TALK WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE IN +DIFFERENT PLACES AT THE SAME TIME. +A SPECIAL CHARGE IS MADE FOR THESE KIND +OF CALLS. + + +WELL, THAT BASICALLY COVERS THE KINDS +OF MAIN CALLS YOU CAN MAKE. OTHER KINND +OF CALLS INCLUDE: TIME AND CHARGE +CALLS, RADIOTELEPHONE CALLS, INTER- +NATIONAL CALLS, 800 SERVICE, 900 +SERVICE. + +NOW, TO END THIS FILE, I WILL TALK +ABOUT THE THREE TYPES OF SWITCHING +SYSTEMS. + +STEP BY STEP SWITCHING SYSTEM +=---------------------------= + +IT WAS THE FIRST SWITCHING SYSTEM TO +EVER BE USED BY MA BELL. IT IS A LONG, +AND CONFUSING BUNDLE OF SWITCHES. IT +IS A VERY SUCKY SYSTEM. ITS DISAD- +VANTAGES INCLUDE: SWITCH TRAIN MAY +BECOME JAMMED BLOCKING THE CALL. NO +TOUCH-TONE DIALING. BREAKS DOWN ALOT, +AND USES ALOT OF ELECTRICITY. AND LAST, +BUT NOT LEAST, THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS +HARDWIRED. YOU CAN TELL IF YOU ARE +CALLING THROUGH A STEP-BY-STEP SWITCH- +ING SYSTEM BY JUST A FEW SIMPLE THINGS: +NO PULSING DIGITS AFTER DIALING OR +DTMF. IT SOUNDS LIKE A BUNCH OF TYPE- +WRITERS. THERE IS NO SPEED CALLING, +CALL FORWARD, AND OTHER SERVICES. PAY +PHONE WANTS MONEY FIRST BEFORE DIALING. + +CROSSBAR SWITCHING SYSTEM +=-----------------------= + +CROSSBAR SWITCHING HAS BEEN MA BELL'S +PRIMARY SWITCHING SYSTEM AFTER 1960. +THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF CROSSBAR +SWITCHING THAT EXIST: #1 CROSSBAR +(1XB), #4 CROSSBAR (4XB), AND #5 +CROSSBAR (5XB). A SWITCHING MATRIX IS +USED FOR ALL THE PHONES IN AN AREA. +IN OTHER WORDS, WHEN SOMEONE CALLS, THE +ROUTE WHERE THEY ARE CALLING FROM IS +DETERMINED AND IS MET UP WITH THE OTHER +PHONE. THERE IS REALLY NO DEFINATE RE- +MARKED FEATURES OF CROSSBAR SWITCHING. + +ESS SWITCHING +=-----------= + +WITH ESS SWITCHING (YUCK!), ANYTHING +YOU PRACTICALLY DO, BELL KNOWS ABOUT +THE TIME YOU PICK UP THE PHONE, TO +THE TIME YOU HANG-UP. WITH ESS MA BELL +KNOWS THE FOLLOWING: + +[1] EVERY DIGIT DIALED + +[2] WHO YOU CALLED + +[3] WHEN YOU CALLED + +[4] HOW LONG YOU WERE CONNECTED + +[5] IN SOME CASES, WHAT YOU TALKED + ABOUT! + +ESS IS PROGRAMMED TO PRINT OUT PEOPLE +WHO MAKE EXCESSIVE CALLS TO WATT LINES +OR DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE. THIS IS CALLED +"800 EXCEPTIONAL CALLING REPORT" OR +KNOWN EVEN BETTER AS "800 ECR". TRACING +IS DONE VERY QUICKLY AND IS PRINTED OUT +ON THE COMPUTER'S MONITOR OF THE +OPERATOR IN CHARGE. ESS CAN ALSO PICK +UP FOREIGN TONES ON THE LINE, LIKE +BLUE BOX TONE'S (2600 HZ). YOU KNOW +IF YOUR LOCAL PHONE COMPANY IS USING +ESS BY THE FOLLOWING CLUES: SUPPORTS +911 FOR EMERGENCIES. DIAL TONE FIRST +BEFORE PUTTING COIN IN ON PAY PHONES. +CALLING SERVICES LIKE CALL FORWARDING, +SPEED DIALING, AND CALL WAITING. +ANI, (AUTOMATIC NUMBER IDENTIFICATION) +FOR LONG DISTANCE CALL.

Well i have decided to write a very basic file on telenet and how to get around on the networks. + + Well Telenet and others are PSN's or (Packet Switching Networks) these nets are connected to many other networks around the world. You can do alot with just basic knowledge that i have (most of you will know this and way beyond what i know but some will benefit from it) i will start with some of the terms that are often used with these services. + +Access Number- The direct number that you dial to access a network (duh). + +Nua (Network Users Address) - An Nua is basicly a number you type in to access that particular service think of an Nua as a phone number sorta its not an actually phone number with an Acn country code or whatever because the service is connected to the network world wide. I hope that was fairly clear let me show this think of the planet earth as an network and to reach the services on the planet you call the phone number like the service is a persons residence or business phone or payphone whatever just like on a network an Nua is the Address to a system or outdial whatever on the particular network. I hope this is clear or atleast somewhat understood. + +Nui (Network User Identification) - An Nui is like a Account and Password to the network like an account and password is to a bbs that lets you access the system. Some people use Nui for like anything like an Vax system Unix systems they are referring to an Nui as basicly a account on the particular system that lets you use the system. + +DNIC (Data Network Identification Code) - The DNIC is like a 4 digit code that represents what Psn it is think of an DNIC like an AreaCode and the Nua the individual phone number. + +Outdial - Is basicly what it says an modem port connected somewhere on the network that will allow you to dial out from and connect data only to a actually phone number not an Nua. + +Pad (Packet Assemble Disassembler) - an x.25 pad is very useful an pad using x.25. protocal transmits at 9600 bps to an Nua. This may sound funny but i call them "Launch Pads" heh like with an x.25 you can usally access any Nua on the planet by usally typing the Dnic+Nua. + + + + Now i will explain various things and give helpful ideas. + + + + Let me start off with some helpful things for you to try and do. + + TeleNet + + + The first thing your going to have to have is your Access number it is very easy to get your local access number. Simply call telenet at 1-800-TELENET that is thier customer service number and ask for your dialup the operator will ask for your area code and prefix of your phone number he/she will also ask your baud rate. There are many telenet ports across the country and internationly with varying baud rates from 110 bps (yuck) to 9600 (i wish i had) so you will want your maximum baud port most locations have atleast 1200 many have 2400 and not alot have 9600 ports like for big cities like Detroit and Los Angeles at the end of the file i will list some useful numbers. +Some things to do while online with Telenet and Tymnet. While at the @ on the Telenet system type "mail" or "C mail" or "telemail" or even "c telemail" this access's telenets mail system simple entitled "Telemail" from there it will ask "user name" or something like that type "phones" next it will prompt you "password" enter "phones". The phones service has alot of worthy information it will give you a menu to choose from the rest should be self explanatory. Along with the other information on the phones service there is a complete updated list of all Telenet access numbers which is conveinent. Once you have tried the phones service also on telemail enter "Intl/Associates" as the user name and "Intl" for the international access numbers. If you are calling from overseas somewhere connect with an telenet access number then type this Nua at the telenet @ prompt "311020200142" and enter the username and password. +You might want to pick up a sort of a reference booklet on Telenet simply again call the customer service number and ask them for "How to use Telenet's Asychronus Dial Service" and give them your address which is self explanatory. +Another tidbit of info you would like to know if you already didnt know that Telenet is owned by Us Sprint long distance service. + + + + + Tymnet + + The same goes for Tymnet service you will first need an Access Number. Simply call Tymnet customer service at 1-800-872-7654 and ask them. Again you might like to get Tymnets reference booklet on how to use there system simply again ask them to send it to you. Once online with a Tymnet access number type "Information" at the user name prompt and you will be connected to another nice thing on tymnet which you have access to all thier Access Numbers also just like the "phones" service on Telenet. Tymnet is owned by "Mcdowell Douglas" corporation. Unlike Telenet where a long distance company owns the network. On Tymnet in the "Information" service there is a very cool option that will provide you with all the Dnic's (Networks) available from Tymnet. You may also want to get that on buffer but for your conveinience i will include a copy of that. The file "Basic.NetworksII" is the complete listing and i would like the Basic.NetworksII file to be accompanied by this file for the most part. + + + + Outdials + + Now i will discuss Outdials and tell how to use them. An Outdial on Telenet is an Pcp Port usally. It will enable you to connect data with a carrier. An Outdial is a modem connected up to the network to access the outdial spimply type the outdials Nua. Usally you will need a Nui or Pad to use an Outdial on Telenet just to let you know. Once connected to an Outdial on Telenet type "Ctrl-e" to get into the command mode of the Outdial or if your sharp on your Hayes modem AT command set just issue the commands thru the Outdial besure to type "Atz" when logged in to reset the modem parameters to default values. Outdials range from different baud rates just like what kind of modem is hooked into the Outdial port. This is the basic Telenet Outdial but there are many types a Tymnet Asychronus is a very good Outdial to use like i said there are many different types the above is for Telenet Pcp Outdials which are used most widely. + + + Scanning Telenet + + + Well now i will explain how to scan telenet and how to find Pcp outdials etc. When scanning telenet call your Access Number and at the prompt enter the Nua. Plan to scan a certain amount of Nua's in a session wether the number is up to you, usally when i scan i scan in blocks of 100 you can find alot of things while scanning. I will tell how to find pcp outdials, first if your looking for a particular area code for the outdial take the 313 area code for example usally an outdial is in the first 150 numbers scanned so i would suggest if scanning for outdials scan like this..the area code for which you want the outdial two 0's then a three digit number so the scan would look like this...31300001,31300002,31300003 etc.. im sure you get it...along the way you will probably find other neat things. Some things to know when scanning telenet is when you enter an Nua and it freezes like wont do anything send a break signal, for me i use Proterm for the Apple the break signal is open-apple b once the break signal is sent it should go back to a @ prompt again. If you try scanning another nua directly after you broke out from the frozen portion Telenet will give you an error message "Connection Pending" which means it is still looking for the Nua system from which you requested previously. To remedy this situation after the break signal is sent type "d" for disconnect it will then tell you the connection has been terminated. Proceed scanning the Nua continuing where you left off. (Note. you will get the freeze and have to repeat the sequence over and over again as of there are A LOT of Nuas that freeze) Well i bet your asking "how do i know when ive found an outdial?" usally Telenet will respond with a connect message and then nothing try to type "Atz" if it responds "ok" then you have a Outdial port where as Atz is the hayes modem command for reseting the modems paramaters to default settings. Ok now i will explain some things to look for and some wise things to do while scanning and also supply an response key explanations. +Whenever you "Connected" to an Nua write it down no matter what it is make notes of what you find and label them for instance if you encounter any of these messages. + + User Name = a Vax System + Login = a Unix system + Primenet = a prime system + Password = something worth noting + +Basicly anything that connects take note of this is very useful for finding systems to hack on even though most or all of Telenet has been scanned at one time or another there are always somethings to do! that is a FACT! Be sure to write down all "Refused Collect Connection" also because we must not forget that when we request an Nua that we are asking for a collect call all Nuas inputed on Telenet without an Nui are being paid for by the particlar system requested that is why when an Outdials Nua is requested without any sort of Pad,Nui etc. it will not excecpt the call in all cases i have encountered + +Here is a list of Network Messages that Telenet will respond with remember these are for any type of Telenet access the following may appear and a completed explanation. + + @ is the network command prompt + + ? the last entry was invalid + + Access Bared - Your connection request does not allow you to connect to this system + + Access to This Address not permitted - Your Nui is not authorized to access the address you typed + + Attempt Aborted - You enterd the disconnect command (as we said before when it freezes when scanning) + + Busy - All the ports,destinations are in use try again later + + Collect Wats Call Not Permitted - Collect Wats calls not permitted by your host or authorized by your Nui + + Connected - Your terminal has been connected to the Nua system you requested + + Connection From - Your terminal has been called by another computer or terminal + + Connection Pending - The Network is try to establish a connection with the Nua you requested (enter the d command or "bye" to disconnect the attempt) + + Disconnected - Your terminal has been disconnected from the terminal you called + + Enhanced Network Services System Error - Your call couldnt be validated contact customer service + + Enhanced Network services unavailable at this time - Serivce is temporarily unavailable try again later + + Illegal Address - enter the Connect sequence again whether it be an Nua or a system name + + Invalid Charge Request - your payment selection is not valid + + Invalid User Id or Password - The Nui you entered is not valid + + Local Congestion - Your local Access number is busy try again in a couple minutes + + Local Disconnect - Your Terminal has been disconnected + + Local Network Outage - A temporary problem is preventing you from using the network + + Local Procedure Error - Communication problems by the network caused the network to clear your call + + Not Available,Not Operating,Not Responding - Your Computer cannot accept your request for connection try later + + Not Connected - You have entered a command thai s only valid when connected to a system type "cont" to be brought back into the connection + + Not Reachable - A temporary conditon prevents you from using the network + + Password - This is the prompt which apprears after youve entered an Nui + + *** Possible Data Loss - connecton has been reset + + Refused Collect Connection - Your payment selection must be prepaid + + Rejecting - Host copmputer refuses to accept the call + + Remote Procedure Error - Communication problems forced the network to clear our call + + Still Connected - You requested another service while your online to another + + Telenet XXX XXX - Network Port you are using + + Terminal - This is the terminal type prompt + + Unable to validate call - Your Nui has been temporarily disbaled + + Unable to validate call contact admin - The Nui has been permently disabled + + Unknown Adress - Your Nua may be invalid + + Wats Call not permitted - Telenet In-wats calls are not permitted by your host or your Nui + + +Well that is the end of the Telenet messages and this is the end of our file only left is the numbers i have and some other usual stuff + + +Telenet Customer service 1-800-TELENET +Tymnet Customer service 1-800-872-7654 +Telenet Access # 313/964-2988 1200 bps 313/963-2274 2400 313/964-3133 9600 bps +Tymnet Access# 313/962-2870 +Global Outdial at 20200123 + +Well that is about it id like to greet some people here SoldierOfFortune,Frodo,TheBit,Hellraiser,Icecube,Slaytanic,Corrupt,Lorax,Deadman#The Disk Master,The Hunter,DPAK,MOD,Rat,The Traxster,The Apple Bandit,El Cid,Shadow,Blue Adept,Blacknight,LOD,HALE,DungeonMaster,Blackbeard,Kilroy,The Whole Interchat scene,All my buddys from the alliances,Gambler,Sabers Edge,Misfit,The Flash,Qsd friends,All the people who called my Vmb'z for "Rad Infoz" and helped to keep it going and all the whole people you make a difference "All you Kids out There keep the Faith!" + +I can be reached on Funtime Gs at 305-989-0181 d215*guest is the new user pass +I can be reached at this Vmb 313-980-5632 +and soon im going to be running a bbs with a friend of mine so be sure to look for that like i said im outta here Slaytze!!!! +Well This is the part with the complete list of Networks World Wide also some intresting data about them. + + +This is the 2nd part to my Basic.Network text file +--Sk8 The SkinHead + + T I T T H A I + C S A A C S U + E N V S .

This phile +is NOT a `how 2 do it' essay.... It`s 4 phreaks to show what has done and +what is still possible. I also won`t describe any signalling systems like +C5/R2/C7, cause everyone who reads this phile should know how they work. I +have put the TXT into several groups like the following: + + - Overview: breakable countries + - Why are other countrys not breakable ? + - The story `bout C4 + - You don`t get a busy flash....ahahaha! + - How the TELECOM filters work + - About Hardware + - Problems with Transit/Routings + - How 2 get Routing Codes + + + + 1.) Overview: the breakable countries + + At the 1st point, I wanna give you a short list of the easy breakable + countrys. As u can see, there are many ones u can break, but most of them + are not very interesting (seen in the aspect of getting out of those + fucking desert-countries....). The only exception are the C5/R2 countries. + but at the moment, there are only very few people who can phreak them... + congratulations ! + Okay, here are the breakable ones (alphabetical order) + + > Argentinia (+54) + > Brasilia (+55) + > Chile (+56) + > China (+86) + > Columbia (+57) + > Emmirates of Arabia (+971) + > Guatemala (+502) + > Hawaii (+1-808) + > Indonesia (+62) [not available from everywhere] + > Iceland (+354) + > Japan (+81) !! hard 2 seize !! + > Jordania (+962) !! still offline !! + > Macau (+853) + > Malaysia (+60) [not any more !] + > Nicaragua (+505) + > Paraguay (+595) + > Phillipines (+63) + > Singapore (+65) + > South Africa (+27) + > Uruguay (+589) + > Venezuela (+58) + + At 1st, I wanted to add the frequs for each country....no, not exactly, but + at least a description like: Cl.Fwd/EOf/Seize. But I decided that its not + very useful because you should be able to find them out by yourself. Besi- + des, all these ones are C5 and quite simple 2 break (more or less.... arghh + I hate the Phillipines !!!!!!). U can reach them via HCD (standard) with + the exception of HawaII. + NOTE: These are not all the existing countrys you can reach by a toll free + number... but these ones are the easiest to call. If you wan`t to + call other countries by direct (=local) breaking, start scanning ! + + * Concerning the Thailand HCD (+66), I`m not sure what is is, but I think it + should be C7. If not and if you can break it, please contact me ! + + * At MCI and AT&T, I already had sume argues with other phreaks, but I know + that at least AT&T _IS_ breakable ! [note: or WAS breakable until 12/95] + +The problem with R2 is that it`s mostly PCM (in Germany). This means that +there`s used a multiplex system to mix information and signalling signals. +So you use 1 channel each, but it seems as if you are just on one channel. +At the moment, I still don`t cope with those systems... Sumetimes, I get a +Hgup, but I don`t know whether it`s caused from my BB or from that fuCkiNg +switch. +Another problem is: theres no absolute standard on R2. It depends on the area +you live in and the country u wanna break 2 get a success. Just start scan- +ning... Some hints: Of course, u should only scan the effective signalling +band....it would be quite senseless to scan from 500 up to 1500 Hz. And al- +ways remember: R2 is not an international system. It`s always combined with +at least one signalling frequency of another system (like C5) ! + + + + + + + + +2.) Why are other countries not breakable ? + + aaaahahahhah!!! stupid question. Cause they changed to C7. + + Anyway, there is a possible exception: The "Fiiieep" linez. If you are not + from Germany, you can`t imagine what this means to the phreaker: You know, + some switches (e.g. the Siemens-Alcatel) require an exact timing. The Cl. + Fwd. must be sent on exact the time when you can hear the 2nd "click" (or + some milliseconds after). There is one problem now: The Telco has changed + that click to a noisy "fiiieek" now on some nuMbAs. That noise is inter- + modulating the break you send. The result is: No result. + The only thing you can do: (except when you live in area 03....ggrrr...I + hate everyone in there...) increase the volume of your break to a maximum + and try to find a guard tone that fixes that interference...this should be + not too easy.... after some minutes of experimenting, you may be able to + achieve a HgUp, but seizing will be quite complicated ! + + + + + + + + +3.) Phunny story bout C4 + +Just a few words 2 the phreaks who wanna start scanning C4 lines, +inspired by the Scavenger dialer: Yes, u can call via C4 lines, if u +a) break an oversea line (e.g. Germany => Paraguay...aaeh..no...Paraguay uses + R2 at the country itself...) +b) call a C4 based numba in that country, break it and have phun... +But there are 2 major problems: +a) linez are shit +b) there are nearly (I said nearly, in fact, I don`t know _ANY_) no C4 linez + left... perhaps, u will find someones in South America or Africa. + +So, forget the C4 shit and concentrate to the future... and future is defini- +tively NOT C4 ! + + + + + + + +3.) U don`t get a Busy Flash.... ahahhahahahaha!! + +If you are unable to recieve a Busy Flash, then you`ve got a problem: the +TELEKOM filters. These phunny devices are sitting in the toll-free oversea +trunk groups just for one purpose: Killing the Clear Forward and the Seize +signal to avoid line manipulation. In my area, there were 2 different kinds +of filters: +The first ones were just inverters, which lowered or highered the specific +signals sent in the line. This means, that a 2400/2600 tone will be recogni- +zed from the switch as, e.g., a 2350/2650 signal... This means that you can +easily pass those filters when sending e.g. a 2450/2550 tone. This is, of +course, not a very effective protection ! +At the next step, a more complicated system was installed: a Schmitt-Trigger +system, combined with a selective switch. I will explain later how it works +exactly. +At this time, just remember: It`s IMPOSSIBLE 2 install any protection that +will avoid inband line manipulation 100% . There`s always a way to pass it ! + + + + + + + +4.) How the telecom filters work: + +The function of those devices is quite simple: the filters are put in the +line subscriber ----> german switch. This (should) avoid a line manipulation +from the side of the subscriber`s line. +The filter consists of a simple notch filter that blocks the 2400 signal if +the installed frequency counter counts the critical frequs. +The bandwidth is all over the tolerance of the frequency used for inter- +national trunks. This is achived by a strong damping of the circuit. Just +find an international exchange and let it give you a nice echo. Then, start +scanning and draw a function of the filtered tones. U should draw that func- +tion in dependence of the frequency and the volume. +The tricky thing is the following: the filters are "normally" not enabled. +They are only activated when recieving a signal that is in tolerance of their +setting. The control of "enabled"-"not enabled" is taken by a simple Schmitt- +Trigger circuit. Just watch sume electronic-book for further information. +To activate the Trigger, a tone of a certain frequency _and_ a certain length +must be recieved (Trigger-Level). +So: when u add a third tone to your Cl.Fwd., there is obtained an inter- +modulation: the volume increases and decreases in the same frequency as the +guard tone. So, u just need to find the correct guard tone(s), and u will be +able to pass the filter. +Sometimes, its a little bit more tricky: If this method doesnt work, just use +some fuzzy tones (mix the tones with colored noise). This changes the wave- +form from sinus to something un-definable. That sort of signal is much harder +to trigger (if you`ve got an oscillograph, u can see it quite good). So, the +chances of "confusing" the trigger are much better.... +Finally, there`s a third method: Just create a trunk that you play _before_ +the "real" trunk....the more tones, the better ! I use the nice TLO444 and +wrote a tiny script that will do this job quite good...it has `bout 20 tones, +played with 3 or 4 frequencys each. If you set the right frequs (TIP: use the +frequs near the signalling area, add a DHLS sumetimes, play a 2000 Hz and so +on). If you have done it right, that filter will be "confused" (you can com- +pare it with drinking 10 beers and going to bed immediately) and it can get +passed much easier. + + + + + + + +5.) About Hardware + +It`s always useful to have some hardware that can support you while whistling +around....the good old walkman-headphones are fine for checking out a line +you can break not yet, but it`s not possible to get a 100% great result. Just +call your favourite HPA board and leech the schematic of a standard BlueBox. +I use a more comfortable method. This has two reasons: +1.) When using a transformator that is connected to the phone line directly, + your ears will be bloody after a hole night of scanning +2.) Connecting the soundcard in another way will offer you much more comfort. + +If you`ve got some idea about electronics, connect the output of your computer +to the microphone in the telefone. The ECM-Micros work best. Normally, it`s +necessary to limit the signal with a resistor of about 50K. And if you want to +record the line, connect the mic. input to the speaker of your phone. Depen- +ding on your circuit, it may be useful to add a small capacitator (.1uF). This +offers a much better quality and the tones sent out of the speaker while brea- +king are much more calm. This allows you to listen better to any reaction of +the line. And if you`ve already done that piece of work, then you can make a +device that allows you to hang up the line and release it again automatically. +I built a switch that is controlled by the tones sent out of my dialer. I just +reserved a frequency (ca. 3900 Hz) and adjusted that phunny device to exactly +that value. So, if I send a 3900 Hz tone, my line hangs up automatically and +releases again after a free-definable time. If you are interested in that +device, just contact me ! +Also phunny is a circuit that can decode the special-info sequence (you know, +that tuuu-tuuuu-tuuuuu you recieve when calling a not-existing number). I +don`t know whether this is also possible by a powerful realtime-software; but +when connecting that circuit to the parallel port, you may increase the rate +of success while scanning to the maximum. When using that device, you needn`t +sitting in front of your screen anymore... you just wait for a "success-beep" +from the computer when getting a number that does not result in the special- +info-tone. The only condition for this is a well-programmed software. + +Another phunny toy is an oscilloscope, because: +- You look so cool when sitting in front of it, dialing, phreaking, pushing + all the buttons at the scope (and only you know what they are good for) and + watching the great waves appearing on the screen when getting a connect ... +- Hmmm..and, besides, an oscilloscope is EXTREMLY useful to find out every- + thing that has to do with waveform, amplitude and delay of the signal sent + in the line, and, more important, coming out of it. E.g., you can search a + number, kill the exchange, sending a signal which will give you an echo and + start analysing the behavior of the switch. + +The last point about hardware: A device that can send a variable (coloured) +noise into the line. A very simple noise generator is an old radio. Just put +it on AM and search an area with a good, strong noise. By turning the knob in +any direction, the sound of the noise should change a little bit. To find the +best position, set your dialer to a 60s Cl.Fwd. and mix it with the noise ob- +tained by the reciever. Believe it or not, it works ! +BTW : Yes, I know, the Scavenger dialer has this feature, too. But the noise + routine seems to be a little buggy...besides, it`s much easier to use + a little hardware, because you can find out the correct setting very + fast just by turning a knob is any direction. The only thing you`ve got + to do is to connect the speaker of the radio (or, in other words, the + two wires leading to the speaker) with the phone line using direct + connection or transformator. A 50K resistor prevents the noise from get- + ting too loud. Just play a little bit for optimal results. + + + + + + + +6.) Problems with Transit/Routings + +some years ago, finding out a routing or using transit was no problem (I say +this not out of my own experience; I`m not doing BB as long that I can con- +firm this....but I was told so). +Now, things have changed a little bit. The old standard of using -CC-DD +is working only to some boring countries with boring lines. The "good" coun- +tries (like HK/USA etc.) are extremely well protected now. But in spite of +that, you can still get a success if you have a free afternoon and some luck. +For exemple, the toll free lines of some countries can sometimes be called +from an international exchange. To give you an exemple: + + a) you call the HCD of a country that has disabled + b) you break it + c) after breaking, you call the Op. of another country (e.g.: A02-800-XXX) + d) you wait for the "chick" and break the line country --> next country + e) perhaps this country you are in now has open .... + +The disadvantage of this is that you MUST set your trunk very exactly. If your +break for the 2nd country is in tolerance of the switch of the 1st country, +your line kicks off...hahaha....try it again. +Perhaps, you find a country that is breakable with 2400 and 2600 Hz, sent +seperately. On HawaII, you will remark that you can send the tones seperately. +If you`ve found a Transit or a Route, you can try to find a gate in the +following way [just for exemple !!!]: + a) You can do transit via XXXXXX to russia + b) You want to call YYYYYY + c) Just dial 7-00-YYY-nuMbA + +The success of this method depends on the "transit power" of the country you +can do transit to. Perhaps you can try it out by calling directly. + +Another way of calling is to change the exchange you are in by sending a +loooong signalling tone....the more experienced phreaks will know what I mean +when talking about this..... This method only works on quite old switches. + + + + + + +7.)

See further restrictions +at the end of this file. + + + To start off with - 12 Ways to beat Caller ID + +(0) This doesn't count as a way to beat CID, but there's a general + principle to consider when contemplating ways to beat CID. + Generally, the CID signal your target sees corresponds to the owner + of the dial tone you call him from. If you call direct, you dial + from your own dial tone and your line is identified. If you call a + third party, and by whatever means manage to acquire his dial tone, + and from there dial out, it is the number associated with that + second dial tone that your target sees. Some of the ideas following + this were developed with this basic idea in mind. + +(0.5) This also doesn't count, but remember that beating Caller ID as + such is only the first layer of your protection. If your calling is + sufficiently annoying or criminal, there is *always* a paper trail + (ANI data, billing data, trouble reports, *57 traces, etc) leading + back to the phone you first called from. That trail is not always + easy or worthwhile to track you down with. Whether or not the trail + is followed depends entirely upon how pissed off your target is and + how much co-operation he can get from the phone company, law + enforcement, etc. + +(1) Use *67. It will cause the called party's Caller ID unit to + display "Private" or "Blocked" or "Unavailable" depending on the + manufacturer. It is probably already available on your line, and if + it isn't, your local phone company will (most likely - please ask + them) set it up for free. This is the simplest method, it's 100 + percent legal, and it works. + +(2) Use a pay phone. Not very convenient, costs 25 or 35 cents + depending, but it cannot be traced back to your house in any way, + not even by *57. Not even if the person who you call has Mulder and + Scully hanging over your shoulder trying to get an FBI trace (sic). + Janet Reno himself couldn't subpoena your identity. It's not your + phone, not your problem, AND it will get past "block the blocker" + services. So it's not a totally useless suggestion, even if you + have already thought of it. + +(3) Go through an operator. This is a more expensive way of doing it + ($1.25-$2.00 per call), you can still be traced, and the person + you're calling WILL be suspicious when the operator first asks for + them, if you have already tried other Caller ID suppression methods + on them. + +(4) Use a prepaid calling card. This costs whatever the per-minute + charge on the card is, as they don't recognize local calls. A lot + of private investigators use these. A *57 trace will fail but you + could still be tracked down with an intensive investigation (read: + subpoena the card company). The Caller ID will show the outdial + number of the Card issuer. + +(5) Go through a PBX or WATS extender. Getting a dial tone on a PBX is + fairly easy to social engineer, but beyond the scope of this file. + This is a well-known and well-loved way of charging phone calls to + someone else but it can also be used to hide your identity from a + Caller ID box, since the PBX's number is what appears. You can even + appear to be in a different city if the PBX you are using is! This + isn't very legal at all. But, if you have the talent, use it! + +(6) I don't have proof of this, but I *think* that a teleconference + (Alliance teleconferencing, etc.) that lets you call out to the + participants will not send your number in Caller ID. In other + words, I am pretty sure the dial tone is not your own. + +(7) Speaking of dial tones which aren't yours, if you are lucky enough + to live in an area with the GTD5 diverter bug, you can use that to + get someone else's dial tone and from thence their identity. + +(8) Still on the subject of dial tones which aren't your own, you can + get the same protection as with a payphone, but at greater risk, + if you use someone else's line - either by just asking to use the + phone (if they'll co-operate after they hear what you're calling + about) or by the use of a Beige Box, a hardware diverter or bridge + such as a Gold Box, or some other technical marvel. + +(9) This won't work with an intelligent human on the other end, it + leaves you exposed if the called party has a regular Caller ID box + with memory, and has many other technical problems which make it + tricky at best and unworkable for all but experts. A second Caller + ID data stream, transmitted from your line after the audio circuit + is complete, will overwrite the true data stream sent by the telco + during the ringing. If the line you are calling is a BBS, a VMB, or + some other automated system using a serial port Caller ID and + software, then you can place your call using *67 first, and then + immediately after the other end picks up, send the fake stream. The + second stream is what the Caller ID software processes, and you are + allowed in. See the technical FAQs below for an idea of the + problems behind this method; many can be solved. + +(10) Someone in alt.2600 (using a stolen AOL account, so I can't credit + him or her properly) suggested going through 10321 (now 10-10-321) + or 10288. Apparently using a 10xxx even for a local call causes + "Out of Area" to show up on the Caller ID display. I live in Canada + where we don't have 10xxx dialing so I can't verify nor disprove + this. + +(11) There are 1-900 lines you can call that are designed to circumvent + Caller ID, ANI, traces, everything. These services are *very* + expensive, some as high as $5.00 a minute, but they include long + distance charges. This was first published in 1990 in 2600 + magazine, and in 1993 the IIRG reported that 1-900-STOPPER still + works. Beware - even if you get a busy signal or no answer, you + will get charged at 1-900 rates! Another one published in 2600 in + 1990: 1-900-RUN-WELL. That one supposedly allows international + calls. I'm not about to call either one to find out. Note that you + could still be caught if the operators of these services were to be + subpoenaed. + +(12) Use an analog cellular phone. Most providers of plain old analog + service show up on Caller ID as "Private" or "Out of Area" or a main + switchboard number for the cell network. This is becoming less and + less true as cellular providers move to digital cellular and PCS, + which pass the phone's number on Caller ID. Corollary: Rent a + cellphone by the day. This might even be cheaper than using a + prepaid phone card. + + + + + How Caller ID Works + +Caller ID is a data stream sent by the phone company to your line +between the first and second ring. The data stream conforms to Bell +202, which is a 1200 baud half-duplex FSK modulation. That is why +serial Caller ID boxes run at 1200 baud. + +The data stream itself is pretty straightforward. Here's an example: + +UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU€'^D032415122503806467x + +The first thing of note is the 30 U's. Those are actually sync pulses. +A "U" is 55 hex, or 01010101 binary. This is called the "Channel +Siezure Signal." + +After that comes 130 milliseconds of 1200 Hz (the Bell 202 "mark" +frequency) which usually shows up in the datastream as a character or +two of garbage. + +That is followed by the "message type word", which is 04 hex for +standard Caller ID, 07 hex for Name & Number. A word, by the way, is 8 +bits for our purposes. + +That is followed by the "message length word" which tells us how many +bytes follow. + +The next four bytes are the date, in ASCII. In the example above, the +date is 0324, or March 24th. + +The next four bytes after the date are the time, also in ASCII. In the +example, the time is 1512, or 3:12pm. + +The next 10 digits are the phone number that is calling. In the +example, the phone number is 250-380-6467. The number is also in ASCII +and doesn't contain the hyphens. Some phone companies will leave out +the area code and only transmit 7 digits for a local call, others will +always send the area code as well. + +If this were a name-and-number Caller ID data stream, the number would +be followed by a delimiter (01h) and another message length byte to +indicate the number of bytes in the name. This would be followed by the +name itself, in ASCII. + +If this call originated from an area that doesn't support Caller ID, +then instead of the phone number, a capital "O" is transmitted (4F hex). + +If the call was marked "private" as a result of the caller using *67 or +having a permanent call blocking service, then instead of the phone +number, a capital "P" (50 hex) would be sent. + +The very last byte of the data stream is a checksum. This is calculated +by adding the value of all the other bytes in the data message (the +message type, length, number and name data, and any delimiters) and +taking the two's complement of the low byte of the result (in other +words, the two's complement of the modulo-256 simple checksum of the CID +data). + + + + Some Technical FAQ's + + +Q: When I block Caller ID with *67, does it send my number anyway and + just set a "private bit" so that the other person's Caller ID Display + unit won't display it? + +A: No. The person you're calling doesn't get your phone number anywhere + in his data stream if you block your call that way. All he/she gets + is "P" and the date/time of the call. + + I would like to refer to an experiment I performed in March, 1998 + with a Serial Port Caller ID, which delivers the raw data stream to a + PC for software interpretation. The following Usenet message (edited + for this file) is the report I published on that experiment: + + Newsgroups: alt.2600 + From: The Fixer + Date: Tue, 24 Mar 98 16:12:58 -0800 + Subject: Caller ID and *67 - The Facts + + OK, it's time to shovel the bullshit which is piling up in this + newsgroup about Caller ID. + + A few people are saying that when you block your Caller ID with + *67, the switch sends your number anyway along with a so-called + "private bit" that tells the Caller ID display unit to suppress + display of the number. + + In order to squelch those who'd rather flame back with "show me + proof" than just read a FAQ, here is the proof. These are + actual raw data captures from a Bell 202 demodulator (better + known as a serial port Caller ID) which I captured myself today. + They prove conclusively that the "Private Bit" is a myth. + + Here is what I got in my raw data stream when I called my voice + line from one of my BBS lines (which is unlisted, hence the + PRIVATE string in the name field): + + UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU€'^A^H03241512^A2503806467^G^OPRIVATE x + + This is what I got when I did the same thing with *67: + + UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU€^P^A^H03241512^D^AO^H^AP(ÿ + + The number I was calling from was 250-380-6467. That string is + clearly displayed in the first (non *67) call. In the number + field of the second call, only the letter "O" is transmitted. + In the name field, only the letter "P" is transmitted. + + In both calls, the date and time (03/24, 15:12) is transmitted, + but transmission of the calling telephone number is suppressed + in the second call. There is no "private flag" suppressing + display of the number by the display unit; the calling number is + not transmitted at all! + + For those of you unfamiliar with the CID raw data stream, the + U's are actually sync pulses (an ASCII "U" is 01010101 binary). + The control characters are field delimiters. The first 8-digit + number is the date and time in MMDDHHSS format. The second + number in the first call is the phone number, in NPANXXXXXX + format. That is followed by the name (for those of us with name + & number CID). The ^O (0Fh) just before the name indicates how + many characters are in the name - in this case "PRIVATE" is + padded out with 8 spaces (20h) to make 15 characters. At the + very end is an 8-bit checksum. + + Believe me, if I were wrong about this, there would be a huge + marketing frenzy to sell "*67 proof Caller ID boxes" and I would be + making a fortune selling my Serial Caller ID software, which works + directly with the data streams illustrated above! + + +Q: Can't I just send noise down the line to scramble the Caller ID + signal between the rings? + +A: No. Your phone line doesn't generate the Caller ID signal. It is + made by the switch on your calling party's line, and the audio + circuit between your line and his is not completed until after he + picks up the phone. + + +Q: Do 1-800 numbers have Caller ID? Can I hide my identity from them? + +A: Some do have Caller ID, and the *67 block will work, but many more + have realtime ANI - Automatic Number Identification. This is an + older technology which uses a separate line to deliver your number, + and cannot be blocked. And all 800 subscribers get a list of + everyone who called them on their monthly bill, blocked or not. + + +Q: Can I hide my identity by sending a fake Caller ID signal down the + line before they answer? + +A: *Generally*, no. The audio circuit between your phone line and their + line is not completed until the other party picks up. Once they do, + they would hear your fake signal and know what you were doing... + unless the person you're calling is very poorly informed or + untrained. Even so, most Caller ID devices have memory and so the + person you're calling could just as easily scroll back through the + box's memory and find your true number. + + Once upon a time, the phone system worked differently, and the audio + circuit WAS connected even before the called party picked up. A + device called a "mute" or a "black box" was used to take advantage of + this fact and allow anyone calling a line with a black box to do so + toll-free. If the system still worked that way (and there's no + technical reason why it couldn't in these days of digital switching) + then yes, it would be very feasible to send a fake Bell 202 data + stream down the line; in fact you'd hear the real one every time you + called someone with Caller ID and you'd get a really good feel for + the timing involved. But if it worked that way, then black boxes + would also still work, and they don't. + + +Q: How about *69? If I protect my call using *67, can they still call + me back? + +A: Not in 604/250 anyway, and probably not most places. + + Some interesting notes about this: When *69 was first introduced + here in 250, if you tried to *69 a blocked call, you would get a + recording telling you that the number could not be announced. And it + would then offer to connect you anyway! I guess it was business who + asked for the change because that meant a telemarketer using *67 + would have people call back and their switchboard answer "Sleazebag + Marketing, how can I help you?". At that point the number was a + white pages lookup away. So BC Tel, and I would venture to guess its + parent company GTE and many others, changed it so that *69 won't even + call back. + + If you find in your area that you CAN call back with *69 to a *67 + protected number, you're a lucky sonofabitch! Why is that? Well, + with the "old" working of *69, you may still be able to get the + number of a blocked caller if you are (a) lucky and (b) patient. Take + your phone off the hook until midnight (if it's a business) or early + afternoon (if it's a person). THEN activate *69. No incoming calls + will have come into your line since it was off-hook, so your line's + *69 last-call register will still have their phone number in it, and + at those times you are far more likely to get an answering machine + which may spill the beans as to who called you... clever huh? + + + + + Final Word + + +Caller ID can be worked around in so many ways that it really offers no +value to its subscribers. I am not against the existence of Caller ID, +as I have been on the receiving end of harassing phone calls and slimy +telemarketers, all of whom I've been able to put in their place thanks +to this technology. There's no doubt that Caller ID can help bring +those who deserve it to justice. But at the same time, we all have the +right to privacy, and the option to not share your identity with someone +you're calling is, and always should be, available. + +For this reason, I think that Caller ID should be available free on +every line as part of the basic service.

When there used to be operators with plugs and +huge switchboards, they could manually trace the line. Then came the +crossbar switching, in which they could trac e the line three ways: +Lock-In tracing, manual tracing (Never done, anymore), or time +syncronization. The ESS (Electronic Switching System) brought an +"Impossible" to beat tracing mechanism, ANI. + + + + Chapter One : Lock-In tracing + + Lock-In tracing is exactly what the name says. It is a type of +tracing most often used by the FBI. The method of which Lock-In works is +quite simple. When a conversation is going on, there is voltage going +through the line to keep it open for thos e people talking. When lock-in +is used, after the caller-to-be-traced hangs up, a special FBI machine +sends voltage down the line to make the Phone Co's machines think that +the line is still being used. Then that gives the FBI time to trace +manually. + + + The DIFT Box + + There is only one way that I have heard of beating Lock-In. If +you keep picking up the phone and hanging up, and the line doesn't go to +a dialtone, there is a chance that you are being traced. The way to stop +this is to send a current down the lin e, too. First you have to find a +corner in your house where the phone wire is running along. Then you can +install 'Billy Heif's Peachy Tracer Breaker', or simply, "The DIFT box". +Here's the simple schmatics for it: + + + -----> RED -----> |-----/-----| >---------- RED TO LINE --------> +From phone----->Green-----> |-----\-----| >----------Green to line -------> + ----->Black-----> |-----/-----| >----------Black to line -------> + | \ | + | / \ | + | + - | + Tracer Breaker + + Where you see the plus and minus, you hook up a big 6 or 12 volt +battery. Make sure you put a switch in there somewhere, so you can +switch it on fast. Hook the + and - to all the lines going out. I think +that will work, I am pretty sure. Try testi ng it out first. While you +are talking to one of your buds, click it on. + + + + + Chapter Two : Manual Tracing + + Manual tracing is just following a line back to its source. I am + not talking literally, just following it from circuits. This takes a + HELL of a long time, like 10-20 mins or more. The only way to prevent + this is to make your calls short and sweet, so they don't have time. Of + course, if you get Locked-In, you should click on your DIFT box for + about 30 seconds. + + + + Chapter Three : Time Syncro Tracing + + Time Syncro Tracing is very simple. Let's say Bob Retard is +getting 100 prank calls a night (From those guys who wrote "Anarchy +Phone Pranks I,II,III,IV"). Now Bob calls up the phone company, who +sends out a techie with a clock syncronized to the phone co.'s clock. +When Bob gets his prank call that night, he just hits the button that +stops the clock. Then he calls the company and tells them the time that +he got the call. They run it through their computers and come up with a +call made at that exac t time, and where it came from. This tracing is +instoppable, so just don't crank someone all the time. But if you do it +on some night like Friday, when there are a million calls going on at +once, then it is pretty safe. + + + + Chapter Four : Automatic Number Identification (ANI) + + Automatic Number Identification (ANI) is a tracing mechanism +available ONLY in ESS areas. ANI works because the YOUR phone co.'s +computer sends a few digital-encoded numbers to the DESTINATION'S phone +co's computer. Then the other computer, and yo ur co.'s computer knows +INSTANTLY where it is coming from. + + Ways to tell if you have ESS: (Stolen from some G-File) + + 1) 911 service + 2) dialtone first at payphones + 3) call waiting and that shit + + Well, ANI is not absolutely foolproof. I guess you could make a + cheesebox to get around it or something. It would not be hard to + do that. + + There was an incident back in March, 1988, concerning ANI. Some +idiot introduced the idea of the "Sprint Back Door", which gave you +access to call anywhere in the world for "Free". Little did they know +that Sprint's ANI machine was working hard, a nd everyone was sent a +bill at the end of the month. So, watch it with this thing. I think +there used to be a number you could call, and the thing would call you +back, using ANI. Pretty sure it's gone now. + + + + Conclusion + + Well, that does it for most tracing techniques.

Surely every phreak +has at least once considered the phun that he could have with one. +After searching unlocked phone company trucks for one for months, we +had an idea. We could build one. We did, and named it the "Beige Box," +simply because that is the color of ours. In the following file we +will give complete instructions for the construction and use of a +Beige Box. + + + +------------ +CONSTRUCTION +------------ + + The construction is very simple. First, you must understand +the concept of the device. In a modular jack, there are four wires. +These are red, green, yellow, and black. For a single line telephone, +however, only two matter: the red (ring) and green (tip). The yellow +and black are not necessary for this project. A lineman's handset +only has two clips on it: the ring and the tip. + + You will need a phone (we reccommend a touch-tone) with a +modular plug, a modular jack, and two large alligator clips +(preferably red and green, respectively). Take the modular jack and +look at the bottom of its casing. There should be a grey jack with +four wires (red, green, yellow, and black) leading out of it. To the +end of the red wire attach a red alligator clip. To the end of the +green wire attach a green alligator clip. The yellow and black wires +can be removed, although I would only set them aside so that you can +use the modular jack in future projects. Now insert your telephone's +modular plug into the modular jack. That's it. + + This particular model is nice because it can be easily made, +is inexpensive, uses common parts that are readily available, is +small, is lightweight, and does not require the destruction of a +phone. + + + +----- --- ---- +BEIGE BOX USES +----- --- ---- + + There are many uses for the Beige Box. However, before you +can use it, you must know how to attach it to its output device. This +device can be any of several Bell switching apparatus that include +terminal sets (i.e., remote switching centers, bridging heads, cans, +etc.). To open most Bell Telephone switching apparatus, you must +have a 7/16 inch hex driver. This piece of equipment can be picked +up at your local hardware store. With your 7/16 hex driver, turn the +security bolt(s) approximately 1/8 of an inch counter-clockwise and +open. If your output device is locked, then you must have some +knowledge of destroying and/or picking locks. However, we have never +encountered a locked output device. Once you have opened your output +device, you should see a mass of wires connected to terminals. On +most of your output devices, the terminals should be labeled "T" (Tip +-- if not labeled, it is usually on the left) and "R" (Ring -- if not +labeled, it is usually on the right). Remember: Ring - red - right. +The "Three R's" -- a simple way to remember which is which. + + Now you must attach the red alligator clip (ring) to the +"R" (ring) terminal. Attach the green alliagtor clip (tip) to the +"T" (tip) terminal. NOTE: If instead of a dial tone you hear nothing, +re-adjust the alligator clips so that they are not touching each other +or other terminals. Also make sure that they are firmly attached. +By this time you should hear a dial tone. Dial ANI and find out the +number that you are using (you wouldn't want to use your own). + + Here are some practical applications: + o Eavesdropping + o Long distance, static-free phone calls to phriends + o Dialing direct to Alliance Conferencing (also static- + free) + o Phucking people over + o Bothering the operator at little risk to yourself + o Blue Boxing with a greatly reduced chance of getting + caught + o Anything at all that you want, since you are an + extension on that line + + +Eavesdropping: +------------- + + To be most effective, first attach the Beige Box and then your +phone. This eliminates static caused by connecting the box, therefore +reducing the potential suspicion of your victim. When eavesdropping, +it is always best to be neither seen nor heard. If you hear someone +dialing out, do not panic; but rather hang up, wait, and pick up the +receiver again. The person will either have hung up or tried to +complete their call again. If the latter is true, then listen in, and +perhaps you will find information worthy of blackmail! If you would +like to know who you are listening to, after dialing ANI, pull a CN/A +on the number. + + +Dialing Long Distance: +------- ---- -------- + + This section is self-explanatory, but don't forget to dial a +"1" before the NPA. + + +Dialing Direct to Alliance Conferencing: +------- ------ -- -------- ------------ + + Simply dial 0-700-456-1000 and you will get instructions from +there. I prefer this method over PBXs, since PBXs often have poor +reception and are more difficult to come by. + + +Phucking People Over: +-------- ------ ---- + + This is a very large topic for discussion. Just by using the +other functions described, you can create a large phone bill for the +person (they will not have to pay it, but it is a hassle for them). +In addition, since you are an extension of the person's line, leave +your phone off hook, and they will not be able to make or recieve +calls. This can be extremely nasty because no one would suspect the +cause of the problem. + + +Bothering the Operator: +--------- --- -------- + + This is also self-explanatory and can provide hours of +entertainment. Simply ask or say things to her that are offensive and +you would not like traced to your line. This also corresponds with the +previous described section, Phucking People Over. After all, guess +who's line it gets traced to? He he he... + + +Blue Boxing: +---- ------ + + See a file on Blue Boxing for more details. This is an +especially nice feature if you live in an ESS-equipped prefix, since +the calls are, once again, not traced to your line. + + + +--------- ----- -- ----- ------ +POTENTIAL RISKS OF BEIGE BOXING +--------- ----- -- ----- ------ + + Overuse of the Beige Box may cause suspicions within the Gestapo, +and result in legal problems. Therefore, I would recommend that you: + + o Use more than one output device + o Choose a secluded spot to do your Beige Boxing + o Keep a low profile (i.e., do not post under your real name + on a public BBS concerning your accomplishments) + o In order to make sure that the enemy has not been inside your + ouput device, I reccomend that you place a piece of + transparent tape over the opening of your output device. + Therefore, if it is opened in your absence, the tape will be + displaced and you will be aware of the fact that someone has + been intruding upon your territory. + + + +DOWNLOADED FROM P-80 SYSTEMS 304-744-2253 + diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/belhell1.txt b/textfiles.com/phreak/belhell1.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..bc5966e4 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/belhell1.txt @@ -0,0 +1,269 @@ +////////////////////////////////////**\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ +\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\**//////////////////////////////////////// +///// ** M \\\\\\ +\\\\\ ** Bell Hell Volume #1 E ////// +///// ** T \\\\\\ +\\\\\ ************ By: The Dutchman A C ////// +///// Neon**Knights -Wired L O \\\\\\ +\\\\\ ** M ////// +///// ** Thanx to: Baby Demon & The Metallian M \\\\\\ +\\\\\ ** U ////// +///// ** Call These Genocidal Systems...

This edition is made to give you a basic +understanding of the wicked ways of MA. I hope it'll give you a good enough +back ground to do well. Look for Bell Hell vol. 2 for more info on hacking. + + + + =-=-=-=-= + OPERATORS: + =-=-=-=-= + +Here we'll go over in detail some of the most common operators. + + TSPS OPERATOR: + +Trafic (us) Service Position System Operator is the bitch you commonly here +whenever you use a pay phone etc. To say the least she's a meat head. Her +responsibilities are as follows: + + [1] Getting all billing information for Calling Cards and 3rd number calls. + + [2] Making sure you get the right person on person-to-person calls. + + [3] Making sure the fool on the other end will pay for your collect call (why + call collect?) + + [4] Identifying calling numbers, or basically asking you, + 'what number are you calling, please.' when the system fucks up. + +Even though these operators are commonly ding-bats, you shouldn't screw with +them, for they are known to be quick with the tracer. She can even tell if you +are calling from a fortress phone. She has a portable all time ready tracer. +Beware of these deadly bitches. + + INWARD OPERATORS: + +This wench is basically an apprentice to the bitch above (TSPS) or commonly +the '0' operator. She will never question you as long as you are within her +dimension (service) area. She can only be reached by a mighty Blue Box +(discussed in up and coming tutorial) or another operator. + + DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE OPERATORS: + (DOA?DAO?) + +This is the operator you get when you call directory assistance (555-1212). +All she can do is either tell you a listed number or tell you if a number is +unlisted. Waste of time. + + DEAF D.A.O.'S + +This neat little operator is set up to help with directory assistance for deaf +people (who would they want to talk to?). She's reachable by dialing +800-855-1155. She talks to the deaf via Teletypewriters (terminals). If your +modem can transfer baudot (Oh those sweet Apple Cats can) then you can talk to +her. You might find her alot more friendly, more talkitive, and alot easier to +manipulate a number out of. However, she does use abbreviations like GA for go +ahead (pretty tricky huh). + + CN/A OPERATORS + +Oh the sweet CN/A, god bless its soul. These operators instead of giving you +information on a persons phone number, they give you information on a phone +numbers person (the person at 503-229-7600). However, if manipulated these +beauties can give you the number for an unlisted phone number (the number), +they have all kinds of access. This topic is discussed later in this tutorial. + + INTERCEPT OPERATOR: + +All places have their share of low lifes, well this is the scum, bottom of the +barrel of operators. She's the one you get when all the recordings are busy +(lower than a recording). Infact these dames can cause you more pains then a +recording. They only know a handful of english (around two sentences) and can +barely even say those. Even though they have no clue to what a trace is, +unless you know their native tongue, and then doubtfully, their just a pain in +the butt to deal with. + + OTHER OPERATORS: + +Well we have - marine verify, mobile, route and rate, ship to shore, +conference and a few other specific ones. No real help to us now. + +*NOTES: Most operators have their own little Directory Assistance. If any +operator is giving you probs ask to speak with his/her/its supervisor. This +will freak them out. In rare loveable cases you might find a nice operator +with a number like (503-123-4567). Whenever you find a 0 or 1 in the 4th +number slot then you know need a Blue Box. It'll give you special access to +those hard to get wenches. + + + + + =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= + AREA CODES ETC. + =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= + + HOW PHONE NUMBERS WORK: + +Basiclly MA made our phone numbers quite simple. Here's how they work: + +[A] The area code is what the call a three digit number plan area or NPA. This +means that an area code is just that, the code for an area. + +[B] The rest of our number (ie. 666-7209) is divided into two segments. The +first being the Central Office number (666 would be N. Portland) and the +ending (7209) is the station number, or basically your assigned home number. + +This complete combination (503-666-7209) is known as the destination code. +Here's how MA has developed the combo's: + + [NPA] [TELEPHONE NUMBER] + + X*Y XYY-YYYY + + X = a number from 2-9 + y = a number from 0-9 + * = either 0 or 1 + +Normally an area code may never cross a states boundry, thus an area code +(NPA) may not be used for both New York and for Pennsylvania. However, as for +all other rules there is an exception. Here they are. + + SPECIAL AREA CODES: + (SACS) + + 510 - TWX (USA) + 610 - TWX (CANADA) + 700 - NEW SERVICE + 710 - TWX (USA) + 800 - WATTS LINES + 810 - TWX (USA) + 900 - DIAL-IT SERVICES + 910 - TWX (USA) + + The explanations of these are as follows: + + TWX: + +Telex II, as you can see above there are 5 TWX machines. They are all owned by +Western Union. Normally these babes may only be accessed by other TWX +machines, however, if you do not wish to go and purchase one you can access +them by use of the Easylink, by Western Union. For more on this I would +suggest reading The Bioc Agents, and Tucs article on 'Hacking Western Union's +Easylink.' + + 700: + +This is a new service for employees of AT&T in which someone (one of the +special employees) can call his own 700 number (say 700-292-9876), enters +his/her code, and where he is staying and then hangs up. If there is any new +info on the case he is working on, the computer will call him back and tell +him all the latest updates. + + 800: + +There are basically two types of Watts Lines, Inward Watts and Outward watts. +These are probably some of the nicest of the special area codes since they +allow you to call for free. Here's an explanation of the two: + + INWARD WATTS: + +Inward Wide Area Telecommunications Service is probably the one your most +familiar with. MA has developed it so there are 6 different levels of Inwatts. +Level 6 being the whole U.S. (all 50 states) level 5 being all 48 contienental +states etc. all the way down to 1, only one state. Usually a company will get +a level 6 and then a level 1 because all though level 6 allows you to call +from anywhere in the U.S. it excludes the state where the call is terminated +at, so the company usually buys a level 1 for that state. + +Interstate Inwatts are less common but still exist. These are the ones you can +only call from say one state. You can tell one quite easily for they all have +a 2 for the last central office number, or the 6th number (ie. 800-XY2-XXXX). + +All companies that have an 800# must have at least two lines. This is because +if you call the first number (ie. 800-666-0190) and it rings busy the 800# +number will always go to another port to see if its busy. Inwatts customers +are billed by the hour instead of month like us. + + OUTWARD WATTS: + +Outwatts are just that, there for making outward calls only. Large companies +commonly use Outwatts since they recieve bulk discounts. Outwatt 800's are in +the form of: + + 800-*XX-XXXX + +* may only be a 0 or 1 and can only be reached by way of box. The whole set, +*XX is the areas that are accessable by that comany. + + 900: + +This is a nation number used for taking polls and the like (How do you think +they know what shows on the tube are k00l). The number for this service is, +900-555-1212. This will tell whats up on the system. Beware, this MA trick +will cost you 50 cents a minute, and 35 cents there after (ever heard of MA +being cheap?). + + =-=-=-=-= + CO CODES + =-=-=-=-= + +These are the way the switching office knows where to route the call. The +following codes are reserved nationwide: + + 555 - directory assistance + 950 - future use + 958 - plant test + 959 - plant test + 976 - dial-it services (weather etc.) + + 950: + + This includes all special service. Heres a list of a few: + + 1000 - SPC + 1022 - MCI Execunet + 1033 - US Telephone + 1044 - Allnet + 1088 - SBS Skyline + +*NOTE: These beauts are free from fortresses. + + 958,959: + +These consist of ANI, Ringback and some other MA tests. + + 976: + +Check this one out. Simply dial 976-1000. Alot of BBSs around will probably +have a more complete listing of these services. + + =-=-=-=-= + N11 CODES: + =-=-=-=-= + +I'm not sure which one of these are still in service. Basically MA wants to +dump these services, but alot are still in use, it'll vary with your area. + + 011 - international dialing prefix + 211 - coin refund operator + 411 - directory assistance + 611 - repair service + 811 - business office + 911 - EMERGENCY + + Downloaded From P-80 Systems 304-744-2253 diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/belhell2.txt b/textfiles.com/phreak/belhell2.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..1cfb61a9 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/belhell2.txt @@ -0,0 +1,376 @@ + ///////////////////////////////**\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ + \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\**/////////////////////////////////// + ///// ** M \\\\\\ + \\\\\ ** Bell Hell Volume #2 METAL!

I we discussed some of the minor aspects of bell hell. Now we shall +enter the realm of serious bell hell, including how to crush AT&T's firm grip +on the wired industry and Ma's underground passages. + + /MA'S CODES ETC./ +In order to make things easier for her employees, Ma has given us not only +free access to almost all her treasures but guides next to them to help us +along the way. One of the more common boxes found are the ones located either +at the end of your street, in an adjacent field or on telephone poles. Any of +these boxes contains all the lines for the surrounding neighbourhood. Ma +usually supplys a code for the wires inside on the side of the door to one of +these boxes, if not the code usually goes like this: + + Red (ring-) = Ring line, allows others to call you + Green (tip+) = Calling out line, for you to call others + +Ma has conveniently located these, the red on the right and the green on the +left. If you run into one of these boxes and it's locked then you'll need to +purchase is either a 1/2" crowbar or an 7/16" hex driver, prefferably the +latter. In order to use the 7/16, simply give a 1/8" turn counter clockwise, +presto you are in. The crowbar is self explanatory I believe. + +The other, and less likely to be found of the bell underground network is just +that, the underground network. To find one of these simply look for a manhole +cover with a bell in the middle instead of an S or what-ever you sanitary +dept. might use. The aspects and entry of these will be discussed later in +this article, now to the boxes. + +Now that you are in one of these boxes there is a rather interesting list of +prospects you can do, connect a linesmans handset, connect a box, or eavesdrop +to name a few, here's some of the ways to do the following. + +Hell #1: + + /LINESMANS HANDSET/ +In order to make a linesmans handset (if not included within the newly found +box) you'll need a few things: + + 1 a phone (prefferably a GTE flip fone or a slimline) + 2 a spliceing knife (any knife will do, the sharper the better) + 3 a set of alligator clamps (if not already within the box) + +Now take your knife and cut off all the wires and the modular jack (if one) +saving the red (ring-) and green (tip+) wires. Now attach the alligator clips, +one to the red and one to the green, and your set. All you need do is attach +the alligator clips to the designated colors on the box (red - red/green - +green) and you have essentially become an extension of that line. + +Hell #2: + + /THE BLACK/BLUE BOX/ +Finally a place where you can use that box of yours with minimal worries of +being caught (the only way would be to get caught red-handed). Ah yes, bell +hell at one of its finer points. Commonly it takes Ma about a month or so to +figure out the trip on this one. + +If you are unfamilar with boxes, the black box allows others to call you free +where-as the blue box allows you to use operator lines and even become one of +the bitches (become an operator). For more info I would suggest consulting +black/blue box plans. + +Use the normal plans for a black/blue box and make the following +modifications: + + Equipment: + (1) SPST SWITCH (found at your local Trash Shack) + (1) 10K OHM 1/2 WATT 10% RESISTOR (same as above) + SOME EXTRA WIRE (same as above above) + +Now disconnect the green wire in the box and connect it to one of the two +poles on the SPST switch. Take a piece of your extra wire connect one end to +the other pole on your SPST switch and the other end to the terminal. Now +place the 10k ohm resistor between the terminal and the terminal. +Connect it (the 10k ohm resistor) via wire to the two. The terminal +should have a green wire going to it and the terminal should have a white +and blue wire connected to it. Your finished product should look something +like this: + + --/-/-- + :S P S T: + ------- + :: :: + -----GREEN WIRE--:: ::---- + ! + 10K OHM + ! + ! + -----WHITE WIRE-----------\\ +------BLUE WIRE----------------- + +This is simply the basic wiring, if you decide to become one with advancement +you might try hooking up lights to go on when your online or perhaps a +recorder, what-ever you wish. + +Hell #3 + + /EAVES-DROPPING/ +There are many various ways to accomplish this, seeing how I like to stick to +basics I will describe what I feel is the easiest by far. First you need to +make a linesmans handset as mentioned above if you already haven't. Now simply +disconnect the sending end (the end you talk through) and listen in. From here +you can accomplish several various tasks. If you are into blackmail you can +hook up a tape recorder (if you want to do this you can leave me a msg. or +wait for another file later, its rather a long task) or you may simply hold +the recorder to the listening end of the phone. To find out about the line +etc. You can do a couple of things, first you can dial your ANI (automatic +number identification) and find out the line you are on, after this call, you +are a local CN/A (described below) and run a check on who's line it is etc. +This can bring all kinds of hell for those not-so-trustworthy wifes/husbands. + +More Hell: + + /OTHER TRICKS/ +You can set up a conference call simply by dialing your conference operator +(0-700-456-1000) and setting it up, just do what she says. I suggest this +operator for her lines are superior to those of the bitchy PBX ones. Oh, +you'll also need to know that lines person, address etc. Just pull an ANI and +then an CN/A on it. + +If you have an urge to get back at someone simply attach your linesmans +handset to the persons line (fine their line as mentioned many times before) +and leave it off the hook. You can imagine just how long it could take Ma's +loyal employees to discover the problem. Possibly weeks if not a month. + +Using the persons line to call computer systems that trace. This also goes +under the heading 'getting back at people' for the hassles you'll cause them +when the line is traced to them is numerous, bitchy Ma employees tend to be +irrational, spoiled children when it comes to busting people. + +Bugging the operator - self explanatory. + + RAISE HELL + +/Insider/ - The rest of this doc is mainly explanations, a little hell and a +few other things I decided to throw in instead of making another Vol.. It's +true purpose is to coincide with Vol. I, as well as take up space, the rest is +unknown. + + ----------- + 800 EXTENDERS + ----------- + +Basically, 800 extenders are much like Save-Net or Am-Net going 800 instead of +local access numbers. With this one you can call anywhere in the U.S. for +free, of course you need the X digit code, but this is easily found. You use +these just like you would if you were using Save-Net, i.e. you would dial +1-800-XXX-XXXX, then enter in your X digit code and then the area code + the +number you wish to reach, i.e. 1800521167429125036358443, as you can see there +is an 800 number followed by a 4 digit code followed by a number wished to be +reached. Here's a few 800 extenders, theres many many more: + +1-800- 1-800- +------- ------- +245-4890 4 DIGITS 327-6713 4 DIGITS +243-7650 6 DIGITS 328-7112 4 DIGITS +654-8494 6 DIGITS 327-9895 7 DIGITS +327-9136 4 DIGITS 227-3414 4 DIGITS +682-4000 6 DIGITS 343-1844 4 DIGITS +858-9000 3 DIGITS 521-1674 4 DIGITS +537-3511 8 DIGITS 843-0698 9 dIGITS + +=-=-=-=-=-=-=-------------------------> + LOOP NUMBERS EXPLORED + +Loop numbers simply connect two people together using two different numbers. +Thus these numbers always come in pairs, one being the higher one while the +other being the lower one. So if you were to use one, you would call one of +the pair and the other one would call the other one (you take the high road +I'll take the low road). Loop numbers are equal in quality as calling direct, +thus it would be the same quality as you would get calling your neighbour. If +you would happen to call a loop number and no one was on the other end one of +two things would happen, if you called the higher of the two you would here +silence, if you dialed the lower you would get a 1000 hertz tone. Heres a list +of some loop numbers: + + Area Code 212 + XXX-9979 (HIGH) + XXX-9977 (LOW) + +XXX= 690,534,569,432,868,255,228,677,982,466,926,220,586,524,283 + + XXX-9906 (HIGH) + XXX-9900 (LOW) + +XXX= 529,352,439,388 + +Where you see XXX you enter the prefix desired, thus if you wanted area code +212, you could choose a prefix say 690, so one person would dial 690-9906 and +the other 690-9900. + +In order to scan for loop numbers you'll need a friend to help. Loop numbers +run in pairs, the combination is 00XX and XX99. So what you need is for one +person to scan one end while the other scans the upper (using the same +prefix). The hang side has no tone while the other gives off a 1000hz tone. + +To use a loop number in order to start a conference call simply have one +person get on the hangside while another calls the conferenceing operator (PBX +operator will do). The person calling the operator (hopefully from a fortress +phone) should charge the call to the upper loop number (the one the other +person isn't on), when the operator calls to verify she'll get your freind, +who of course will accept all charges gladly. + +=-=-=-=-=-=-=-------------------------> + Customer name and address + (CN/A) + + A CN/A operator is disagnated for the use of AT&T employees who need some +information on a certain person. Ex- A Bell cop got a persons name from a nark +or whatever, he needs more info about the person so he calls up the CN/A +operator and asks her for the persons where abouts. Ma has been nice enough to +grant these operators the knowledge of a few more things (Ma's slip up), such +as their phone number. Thus we can call up one of these operators, say,'Hi, my +names Joe Rodrequiz and I'm from the Lake Oswego Bell customer service +department, I need the following info on a 'Jack Suchos'.' Then you become +really nice and ask if you can have that persons phone number so you don't +have to go over there. Since these operators are human, and are easily conned +and are very informed they'll give you just about whatever you need to know. +However you must be polite and business like.

This edition is made to give you a basic understanding of the wicked ways of MA. I hope it'll give you a good enough back ground to do well. Look for Bell Hell vol. 2 for more info on hacking. +_______________________________________________________________________________ + + =-=-=-=-= + OPERATORS: + =-=-=-=-= + +Here we'll go over in detail some of the most common operators. + + TSPS OPERATOR: + +Trafic (us) Service Position System Operator is the bitch you commonly here whenever you use a pay fone etc.. To say the leats she's a meat head. Her respnsibilities are as follows: + + [1] Getting all billing information for Calling Cards and 3rd number calls. + + [2] Making sure you get the right person on person-to-person calls. + + [3] Making sure the fool on the other end will pay for your collect call (why call collect?) + + [4] Identifying calling numbers, or basically asking you, 'what number are you calling, pleaz.' when the system fucks up. + + Even though these operators are commonly ding-bats you shouldn't screw with them, for they are known to be quick with the traser. She can even tell if your calling from a fortress fone, she has like a portable all time ready tracer. Beware of these deadly bitches. + + INWARD OPERATORS: + + This winch is basically an apprentice to the bitch above (TSPS) or commonly the '0' operator. She will never question you as long as your within her dimension (service) area. She can only be reached by a mighty Blue Box (discussed in up and cumming tutorial) or another operator. + + DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE OPERATORS: + (DOA?DAO?) + + This is the operator ou get when you call directory assistance (555-1212). All she can do is either tell you a listed number or tell you if a number is unlisted. Waste of time. + + DEAF D.A.O.'S + + This is neat little operator set up to help directory assistance for deaf people (who would they want to talk to?). She's reachable by dialing 800-855-1155. She talks to the deaf via Teletypewritters (terminals). If your modem can transfer baudot (Oh those sweet Apple Cats can) then you can talk to her. You might find her alot more friendly, more talkitive and alot easier to manipulate a number out of. However, she does use abbreviations like GA for go ahead (pretty tricky huh). + + CN/A OPERATORS + +Oh the sweet CN/A, god bless its soul. These operators instead of giveing you information on a persons phone number they give you information on a fone numbers person (the person at 503-229-7600). However, if manipulated these beauties can give you the number for an unlisted fone number (the number), they have all kinds of access. This topic is discussed later in this tutorial. + + INTERCEPT OPERATOR: + +All places have their share of low lifes, well this is the scum, bottom of the barrol of operators. She's the one you get when all the recordings are busy (lower than a recording). Infact these dames can cause you more pains then a recording. They only know a handful of english (around two sentences) and can barely even say those. Even though they have no clue to what a trace is, unless you know their native tongue, and then doubtfully, their just a pain in the bu** to deal with. + + OTHER OPERATORS: + +Well we have- marine verify, we have mobile,rout and rate,ship to shore,conference and a few other specific ones. No ral help to us now. + + *NOTES: Most operators have their own little Directory Assistance. If any operator is giving you probs ask to speek with his/her/its supervisor. This will phreak them out. In rare loveable cases you might find a nice operator with a number like (503-123-4567). Whenever you find a 0 or 1 in the 4th number slot ^ then you no need a Blue Box. It'll give you special access to those hard to get winches. + +________________________________________________________________________________ + =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= + AREA CODES ETC. + =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= + + HOW FONE NUMBERS WORK: + +Basiclly MA made our fone numbers quite simple. Here's how they work: + + [A] The area code is what the call a three digit number plan area or NPA. This means that an area code is just that, the code for an area. + + [B] The rest of our number (ie. 666-7209) is divided into two segments. The first being the Central Office number (666 would be N. Portland) and the ending (7209) is the station number, or basically your assigned home number. + +This complete combination (503-666-7209) is known as the destination code. Here's how MA has developed the combo's: + + [NPA] [TELEFONE NUMBER] + + X*Y XYY-YYYY + + X = a number from 2-9 + y = a number from 0-9 + * = either 0 or 1 + +Normally an area code may never cross a states boundrie, thus an area code (NPA) may not be used for both New York and for Pennsylvania. However, as for all other rules there is an exception. Here they are. + + SPECIAL AREA CODES: + (SACS) + + 510 - TWX (USA) + 610 - TWX (CANADA) + 700 - NEW SERVICE + 710 - TWX (USA) + 800 - WATTS LINES + 810 - TWX (USA) + 900 - DIAL-IT SERVICES + 910 - TWX (USA) + + The explanations of these are as follows: + + TWX: + +Telex II, as you can see above there are 5 TWX machines. There all owned by Western Union. Normally these babes may only be accessed by other TWX machines, however, if you do not wish to go and purchase on you can access 'em by use of the Easylink, by Western Union. For more on this I would suggest reading The Bioc Agents, and Tucs article on 'Hacking Western Union's Easylink.' + + 700: + + This is a new service for employees of AT&T in which someone (one of the special employees) can call his own 700 number (say 700-292-9876), enters his/her code, and where he is staying and then hangs up. If there is any new info on the case he is working on the computer will call him back and tell him all the latest updates. + + 800: + +There a basically two types of Watts Lines, Inward Watts and Outward watts. These are probably some of the nicest of the special area codes since they allow you to call for free. Here's an explanation of the two: + + INWARD WATTS: + +Inward Wide Area Telecomunications Service is probably the one your most familiar with. MA has developed it so there are 6 different levels of Inwatts. Level 6 being the whole U.S. (all 50 states) level 5 being all 48 contienental states etc. all the way down to 1 only one state. Usually companies get a levle 6 and then a level 1 beacuse all though level 6 allows you to call from anywhere in the U.S. it excludes the state where the call is terminated at, so the company usually buys a level 1 for that state. + Intrestate Inwatts are less common but still exist. These are the ones you can only call from say one state. You can tell one quite easily for they all have a 2 for the last central office number, or the 6th number (ie. 800-XY2-XXXX). + All companies that have a 800# must have at leats two lines. This is because if you call the first number (ie. 800-666-0190) and it rings busy the 800# number will always go to another port to see if its busy. Inwatts customers are billed by the hour instead of month like us. + + OUTWARD WATTS: + +Outwatts are just that, there for making outward calls only. Large companies commonly use Outwatts since they recieve bulk discounts. Outwatt 800's are in the form of: + 800-*XX-XXXX + +* may only be a 0 or 1 and can only be reached by way of box. The whole set, *XX is the areas that are accessable by that comany. + + 900: + +This is a nation number used for taking polls and the like (how do you think they know what shows on the tube are c00l). The number for this service is, 900-555-1212. This will tell whats up o the system. Beware, this MA trick will cost you 50 cents a minute, and 35 cents there after (ever heard of MA being cheap?). + + =-=-=-=-= + CO CODES + =-=-=-=-= + +These are the way the switching office knows where to route the call. The following codes are reserved nationwide: + + 555 - directory assistance + 950 - future services + 958 - plant test + 959 - plant test + 976 - dial-it services (weather etc.) + + 950: + + This includes all special service. Heres a list of a few: + + 1000 - SPC + 1022 - MCI Execunet + 1033 - US Telefone + 1044 - Allnet + 1088 - SBS Skyline + +*NOTE: These beauts are free from fortresses. + + 958,959: + +These consist of ANI, Ringback and some other MA tests. + + 976: + +Check this one out. Simply dial 976-1000. Alot of BBS around will probably have a more complete listing of these services. + + =-=-=-=-= + N11 CODES: + =-=-=-=-= + +I'm not sure what one of these are still in service. Basically MA wants to dump these services, but alot are still in use, it'll vary with your area. + + 011 - international dialing prefix + 211 - coin refund operator + 411 - directory assistance + 611 - repair service + 811 - business office + 911 - EMERGENCY + + +* I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE UNMENTIONABLE THANKS TO THE FOLLWING, FOR WITHOUT THEM THIS TUTORIAL WOULD NOT EXIST: BIOC AGENT 003 FOR HIS INCREDIBLE TUTORIALS, 503 ALLIANCE FOR ITS HELP IN GETTING ME STARTED, OSUNNY BBS FOR WITHOUT I WOULDN'T OF HAD ACCESS TO THE INFO I'VE LEARNED, AND LASTLY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY FOR TAP FOR WITH OUT IT PHREAKS WOULD HAVE ONE HELL OF A TIME.

The +court order was issued in order to identify the telephone number +being used by an individual who was illegally entering Santa +Cruz Operations' computer and stealing information. + +On May 28, 1987, a telephone number was identified five separate +times making illegal entry into Santa Cruz Operations' computer. +The originating telephone number was 805-495-6191, which is +listed to Bonnie Vitello, 1378 E. Hillcrest Drive, Apt. 404, +Thousand Oaks, California. + +On June 3, 1987, a search warrant was served at 1378 E. Hillcrest +Drive, Apt 404, Thousand Oaks, California. The residents of the +apartment, who were not at home, were identified as Bonnie +Vitello, a programmer for General Telephone, and Kevin Mitnick, a +known computer hacker. Found inside the apartment were three +computers, numerous floppy disks and a number of General +Telephone computer manuals. + +Kevin Mitnick was arrested several years ago for hacking Pacific +Bell, UCLA and Hughes Aircraft Company computers. Mitnick was a +minor at the time of his arrest. Kevin Mitnick was recently +arrested for compromising the data base of Santa Cruz Operations. + +The floppy disks that were seized pursuant to the search + + + +warrant revealed Mitnick's involvment in compromising the +Pacific Bell UNIX operation systems and other data bases. The +disks documented the following: + + o Mitnick's compromise of all Southern California SCC/ESAC + computers. On file were the names, log-ins, passwords, and + home telephone numbers for Northern and Southern ESAC + employees. + + o The dial-up numbers and circuit identification documents + for SCC computers and Data Kits. + + o The commands for testing and seizing trunk testing lines + and channels. + + o The commands and log-ins for COSMOS wire centers for + Northern and Southern California. + + o The commands for line monitoring and the seizure of dial + tone. + + o References to the impersonation of Southern California + Security Agents and ESAC employees to obtain information. + + o The commands for placing terminating and originating + traps. + + o The addresses of Pacific Bell locations and the + Electronic Door Lock access codes for the following + Southern California central offices ELSG12, LSAN06, LSAN12, + LSAN15, LSAN23, LSAN56, AVLN11, HLWD01, HWTH01, IGWD01, + LOMT11, AND SNPD01. + + o Inter-company Electronic Mail detailing new + login/password procedures and safeguards. + + o The work sheet of an UNIX encryption reader hacker file. + If successful, this program could break into any UNIX system + at will. + + +Case No. 86-883 + +On November 14, 1986, Electronic Operations received a search +warrant directing Pacific Bell to trap calls being made to the +Stanford University computer. The Stanford Computer was being +illegally accessed and was then being used to access other large +computer systems throughout the country. + +The calls to the Stanford Computer were routed through several +different common carriers and through numerous states. Through a +combination of traps, traces and sifting through information +posted on the Stanford computer, several suspects were identified +throughout the United States. + + + +The group of computer hackers who illegally accessedd the Stanford +computer system were known as "The Legion of Doom". Subsequent +investigation indicated that the Legion of Doom was responsible +for: + + o The use of Stanford University high-speed mainframes to + attack and hack ESAC/SCC mini compuuters with an UNIX + password hacker file. Password files were then stored on + the Stanford systems for other members of the Legion of Doom + to use. Login and passwords for every local exchange + carrier as well as AT&T SCC/ESAC mini computers were on file. + + o The Legion of Doom used the Stanford computers to enter + and attack other institutions and private contractors' + computers. Some of the contractors' computers were used for + national defense research. + + +On July 21, 1987, eight search warrants were served in three +states at homes where members of the Legion of Doom reside. +Three of the searches were conducted in California. Steve +Dougherty, Senior Investigator-Electronic Operations, accompanied +Secret Service agents at the service of a search warrant at 2605 +Trousdale Drive, Burlingame, California, which was the residence +of Stan Cisnero, a sixteen-year-old member of the Legion of Doom. + +Dougherty interviewed Cisnero, who had used the pseudonym +"O'Ryan Quest", when accessing computers. During the interview, +Cisnero admitted the following: + + o The entering of central offices, (Burlingame, San Mateo, + San Bruno, Millbrae) disguised as a Federal Express + deliveryman. The entries were done to case out the CO's + for the purpose of finding computer terminals with + telephones, the locations of switches and bays, the names of + Comtechs, and materials related to the operations of the + central office. Cisnero also claimed to have been in the + AT&T Administration office on Folsom Street, San Francisco. + + o Cisnero's telephone service had been disconnected twice + for nonpayment, and twice he had his service restored by + impersonating a service representative. + + o Learning to test circuits and trunks with his computer by + using ROTL and CAROT test procedures. + + o Members of the Legion of Doom often accessed test trunks + to monitor each other's liness for fun. + + o On several occasions Cisnero would post the telephone + number of a public coin phone for access to his BBS, Digital + IDS. He would then access teh Millbrae COSMOS wire center + and add call forwarding to the coin phone. He would + activate the call forwarding to his home telephone number, + + + + securing the identity of his location. + + o Cisnero would impersonate an employee who had + authorization to use a Data Kit and have it turned on for + him. When he was done, he would call back and have the Data + Kit turned off. + + o Cisnero also would use his knowledge to disconnect and + busyout the telephone services of individuals he did not + like. Further, he would add several custom calling features + to their lines to create larger bills. + + o It was very easy to use the test trunks with his computer + to seize another person's dial tone and make calls appear + on their bills. Cisnero did not admit charging 976 calls + to anyone, but he knew of others who did. + + o When the Legion of Doom attacked a computer system, they + gave themselves five minutes to complete the hacking. If + they were not successful in five minutes, they would attempt + another system. The Legion of Doom was able to crack a + computer in under five minutes approximately 90% of the + time. + + o Cisnero would impersonate employees to get non-published + telephone listings. Cisnero received the non-published + listing for Apple Computer Founder, Steve Wozniak, and + members of The Beastie Boys rock group. + + o Cisnero told Dougherty of one New York member of the Legion + of Doom, "Bill from Arnoc", who has been placing his own traps + in New York. Bill from Arnoc helped Cisnero place traps in + Pacific Bell. + +The review of the evidence seized at Cisnero's residence tends to +corroborate all Cisnero's statements. + +CONCLUSIONS + +There are some important conclusions that can be drawn from the +above two cases regarding future computer system concerns. + + o The number of individuals capable of entering Pacific Bell + operating systems is growing. + + o Computer Hackers are becoming more sophisticated in their + attacks. + + o Dial-up ports will always be a target for computer entry by a + hacker. + + o Even dial-up ports with remote callbacks and manually controlled + modems can be compromised. + + o A hacker can place a central office off-line by overloading + + + + a SCC mini computer by improperly placing traps or by putting + traps on several DID multi-trunk groups such as MCI or + Sprint groups. + + o Terrorist or Organized Crime organizations could use this + underground computer technology against Pacific Bell or to + their own advantage. + + o Pacific Bell proprietary data bases such as PTT ESAC or + PB2 ESAC could be compromised. + + o The integrity of accurate customer billing statements have + been compromised through access to the CEBS (Computerized + Electronic Billing System) and will remain questionable. A + customer can dispute large direct-dialed calls and claim his + telephone was accessed by a computer hacker. + + +RECOMMENDATIONS + +The information gained as a result of the above investigations +should be shared with those individuals responsible for the +integrity of our computer systems. Further, an ongoing business +partnership between security and the individuals responsible for +the integrity of our computer systems should be initiated and +maintained to ensure prompt, effective resolution of future +computer related security issues. + +(signature) + +JOHN E.

This edition is made to give you a basic +understanding of the wicked ways of MA. I hope it'll give you a good enough +back ground to do well. Look for Bell Hell vol. 2 for more info on hacking. + + + + =-=-=-=-= + OPERATORS: + =-=-=-=-= + +Here we'll go over in detail some of the most common operators. + + TSPS OPERATOR: + +Trafic (us) Service Position System Operator is the bitch you commonly here +whenever you use a pay phone etc. To say the least she's a meat head. Her +responsibilities are as follows: + + [1] Getting all billing information for Calling Cards and 3rd number calls. + + [2] Making sure you get the right person on person-to-person calls. + + [3] Making sure the fool on the other end will pay for your collect call (why + call collect?) + + [4] Identifying calling numbers, or basically asking you, + 'what number are you calling, please.' when the system fucks up. + +Even though these operators are commonly ding-bats, you shouldn't screw with +them, for they are known to be quick with the tracer. She can even tell if you +are calling from a fortress phone. She has a portable all time ready tracer. +Beware of these deadly bitches. + + INWARD OPERATORS: + +This wench is basically an apprentice to the bitch above (TSPS) or commonly +the '0' operator. She will never question you as long as you are within her +dimension (service) area. She can only be reached by a mighty Blue Box +(discussed in up and coming tutorial) or another operator. + + DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE OPERATORS: + (DOA?DAO?) + +This is the operator you get when you call directory assistance (555-1212). +All she can do is either tell you a listed number or tell you if a number is +unlisted. Waste of time. + + DEAF D.A.O.'S + +This neat little operator is set up to help with directory assistance for deaf +people (who would they want to talk to?). She's reachable by dialing +800-855-1155. She talks to the deaf via Teletypewriters (terminals). If your +modem can transfer baudot (Oh those sweet Apple Cats can) then you can talk to +her. You might find her alot more friendly, more talkitive, and alot easier to +manipulate a number out of. However, she does use abbreviations like GA for go +ahead (pretty tricky huh). + + CN/A OPERATORS + +Oh the sweet CN/A, god bless its soul. These operators instead of giving you +information on a persons phone number, they give you information on a phone +numbers person (the person at 503-229-7600). However, if manipulated these +beauties can give you the number for an unlisted phone number (the number), +they have all kinds of access. This topic is discussed later in this tutorial. + + INTERCEPT OPERATOR: + +All places have their share of low lifes, well this is the scum, bottom of the +barrel of operators. She's the one you get when all the recordings are busy +(lower than a recording). Infact these dames can cause you more pains then a +recording. They only know a handful of english (around two sentences) and can +barely even say those. Even though they have no clue to what a trace is, +unless you know their native tongue, and then doubtfully, their just a pain in +the butt to deal with. + + OTHER OPERATORS: + +Well we have - marine verify, mobile, route and rate, ship to shore, +conference and a few other specific ones. No real help to us now. + +*NOTES: Most operators have their own little Directory Assistance. If any +operator is giving you probs ask to speak with his/her/its supervisor. This +will freak them out. In rare loveable cases you might find a nice operator +with a number like (503-123-4567). Whenever you find a 0 or 1 in the 4th +number slot then you know need a Blue Box. It'll give you special access to +those hard to get wenches. + + + + + =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= + AREA CODES ETC. + =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= + + HOW PHONE NUMBERS WORK: + +Basiclly MA made our phone numbers quite simple. Here's how they work: + +[A] The area code is what the call a three digit number plan area or NPA. This +means that an area code is just that, the code for an area. + +[B] The rest of our number (ie. 666-7209) is divided into two segments. The +first being the Central Office number (666 would be N. Portland) and the +ending (7209) is the station number, or basically your assigned home number. + +This complete combination (503-666-7209) is known as the destination code. +Here's how MA has developed the combo's: + + [NPA] [TELEPHONE NUMBER] + + X*Y XYY-YYYY + + X = a number from 2-9 + y = a number from 0-9 + * = either 0 or 1 + +Normally an area code may never cross a states boundry, thus an area code +(NPA) may not be used for both New York and for Pennsylvania. However, as for +all other rules there is an exception. Here they are. + + SPECIAL AREA CODES: + (SACS) + + 510 - TWX (USA) + 610 - TWX (CANADA) + 700 - NEW SERVICE + 710 - TWX (USA) + 800 - WATTS LINES + 810 - TWX (USA) + 900 - DIAL-IT SERVICES + 910 - TWX (USA) + + The explanations of these are as follows: + + TWX: + +Telex II, as you can see above there are 5 TWX machines. They are all owned by +Western Union. Normally these babes may only be accessed by other TWX +machines, however, if you do not wish to go and purchase one you can access +them by use of the Easylink, by Western Union. For more on this I would +suggest reading The Bioc Agents, and Tucs article on 'Hacking Western Union's +Easylink.' + + 700: + +This is a new service for employees of AT&T in which someone (one of the +special employees) can call his own 700 number (say 700-292-9876), enters +his/her code, and where he is staying and then hangs up. If there is any new +info on the case he is working on, the computer will call him back and tell +him all the latest updates. + + 800: + +There are basically two types of Watts Lines, Inward Watts and Outward watts. +These are probably some of the nicest of the special area codes since they +allow you to call for free. Here's an explanation of the two: + + INWARD WATTS: + +Inward Wide Area Telecommunications Service is probably the one your most +familiar with. MA has developed it so there are 6 different levels of Inwatts. +Level 6 being the whole U.S. (all 50 states) level 5 being all 48 contienental +states etc. all the way down to 1, only one state. Usually a company will get +a level 6 and then a level 1 because all though level 6 allows you to call +from anywhere in the U.S. it excludes the state where the call is terminated +at, so the company usually buys a level 1 for that state. + +Interstate Inwatts are less common but still exist. These are the ones you can +only call from say one state. You can tell one quite easily for they all have +a 2 for the last central office number, or the 6th number (ie. 800-XY2-XXXX). + +All companies that have an 800# must have at least two lines. This is because +if you call the first number (ie. 800-666-0190) and it rings busy the 800# +number will always go to another port to see if its busy. Inwatts customers +are billed by the hour instead of month like us. + + OUTWARD WATTS: + +Outwatts are just that, there for making outward calls only. Large companies +commonly use Outwatts since they recieve bulk discounts. Outwatt 800's are in +the form of: + + 800-*XX-XXXX + +* may only be a 0 or 1 and can only be reached by way of box. The whole set, +*XX is the areas that are accessable by that comany. + + 900: + +This is a nation number used for taking polls and the like (How do you think +they know what shows on the tube are k00l). The number for this service is, +900-555-1212. This will tell whats up on the system. Beware, this MA trick +will cost you 50 cents a minute, and 35 cents there after (ever heard of MA +being cheap?). + + =-=-=-=-= + CO CODES + =-=-=-=-= + +These are the way the switching office knows where to route the call. The +following codes are reserved nationwide: + + 555 - directory assistance + 950 - future use + 958 - plant test + 959 - plant test + 976 - dial-it services (weather etc.) + + 950: + + This includes all special service. Heres a list of a few: + + 1000 - SPC + 1022 - MCI Execunet + 1033 - US Telephone + 1044 - Allnet + 1088 - SBS Skyline + +*NOTE: These beauts are free from fortresses. + + 958,959: + +These consist of ANI, Ringback and some other MA tests. + + 976: + +Check this one out. Simply dial 976-1000. Alot of BBSs around will probably +have a more complete listing of these services. + + =-=-=-=-= + N11 CODES: + =-=-=-=-= + +I'm not sure which one of these are still in service. Basically MA wants to +dump these services, but alot are still in use, it'll vary with your area. + + 011 - international dialing prefix + 211 - coin refund operator + 411 - directory assistance + 611 - repair service + 811 - business office + 911 - EMERGENCY + + Downloaded From P-80 Systems 304-744-2253 + diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/bellhell.2 b/textfiles.com/phreak/bellhell.2 new file mode 100644 index 00000000..c3cd97c1 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/bellhell.2 @@ -0,0 +1,377 @@ + ///////////////////////////////**\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ + \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\**/////////////////////////////////// + ///// ** M \\\\\\ + \\\\\ ** Bell Hell Volume #2 METAL!

I we discussed some of the minor aspects of bell hell. Now we shall +enter the realm of serious bell hell, including how to crush AT&T's firm grip +on the wired industry and Ma's underground passages. + + /MA'S CODES ETC./ +In order to make things easier for her employees, Ma has given us not only +free access to almost all her treasures but guides next to them to help us +along the way. One of the more common boxes found are the ones located either +at the end of your street, in an adjacent field or on telephone poles. Any of +these boxes contains all the lines for the surrounding neighbourhood. Ma +usually supplys a code for the wires inside on the side of the door to one of +these boxes, if not the code usually goes like this: + + Red (ring-) = Ring line, allows others to call you + Green (tip+) = Calling out line, for you to call others + +Ma has conveniently located these, the red on the right and the green on the +left. If you run into one of these boxes and it's locked then you'll need to +purchase is either a 1/2" crowbar or an 7/16" hex driver, prefferably the +latter. In order to use the 7/16, simply give a 1/8" turn counter clockwise, +presto you are in. The crowbar is self explanatory I believe. + +The other, and less likely to be found of the bell underground network is just +that, the underground network. To find one of these simply look for a manhole +cover with a bell in the middle instead of an S or what-ever you sanitary +dept. might use. The aspects and entry of these will be discussed later in +this article, now to the boxes. + +Now that you are in one of these boxes there is a rather interesting list of +prospects you can do, connect a linesmans handset, connect a box, or eavesdrop +to name a few, here's some of the ways to do the following. + +Hell #1: + + /LINESMANS HANDSET/ +In order to make a linesmans handset (if not included within the newly found +box) you'll need a few things: + + 1 a phone (prefferably a GTE flip fone or a slimline) + 2 a spliceing knife (any knife will do, the sharper the better) + 3 a set of alligator clamps (if not already within the box) + +Now take your knife and cut off all the wires and the modular jack (if one) +saving the red (ring-) and green (tip+) wires. Now attach the alligator clips, +one to the red and one to the green, and your set. All you need do is attach +the alligator clips to the designated colors on the box (red - red/green - +green) and you have essentially become an extension of that line. + +Hell #2: + + /THE BLACK/BLUE BOX/ +Finally a place where you can use that box of yours with minimal worries of +being caught (the only way would be to get caught red-handed). Ah yes, bell +hell at one of its finer points. Commonly it takes Ma about a month or so to +figure out the trip on this one. + +If you are unfamilar with boxes, the black box allows others to call you free +where-as the blue box allows you to use operator lines and even become one of +the bitches (become an operator). For more info I would suggest consulting +black/blue box plans. + +Use the normal plans for a black/blue box and make the following +modifications: + + Equipment: + (1) SPST SWITCH (found at your local Trash Shack) + (1) 10K OHM 1/2 WATT 10% RESISTOR (same as above) + SOME EXTRA WIRE (same as above above) + +Now disconnect the green wire in the box and connect it to one of the two +poles on the SPST switch. Take a piece of your extra wire connect one end to +the other pole on your SPST switch and the other end to the terminal. Now +place the 10k ohm resistor between the terminal and the terminal. +Connect it (the 10k ohm resistor) via wire to the two. The terminal +should have a green wire going to it and the terminal should have a white +and blue wire connected to it. Your finished product should look something +like this: + + --/-/-- + :S P S T: + ------- + :: :: + -----GREEN WIRE--:: ::---- + ! + 10K OHM + ! + ! + -----WHITE WIRE-----------\\ +------BLUE WIRE----------------- + +This is simply the basic wiring, if you decide to become one with advancement +you might try hooking up lights to go on when your online or perhaps a +recorder, what-ever you wish. + +Hell #3 + + /EAVES-DROPPING/ +There are many various ways to accomplish this, seeing how I like to stick to +basics I will describe what I feel is the easiest by far. First you need to +make a linesmans handset as mentioned above if you already haven't. Now simply +disconnect the sending end (the end you talk through) and listen in. From here +you can accomplish several various tasks. If you are into blackmail you can +hook up a tape recorder (if you want to do this you can leave me a msg. or +wait for another file later, its rather a long task) or you may simply hold +the recorder to the listening end of the phone. To find out about the line +etc. You can do a couple of things, first you can dial your ANI (automatic +number identification) and find out the line you are on, after this call, you +are a local CN/A (described below) and run a check on who's line it is etc. +This can bring all kinds of hell for those not-so-trustworthy wifes/husbands. + +More Hell: + + /OTHER TRICKS/ +You can set up a conference call simply by dialing your conference operator +(0-700-456-1000) and setting it up, just do what she says. I suggest this +operator for her lines are superior to those of the bitchy PBX ones. Oh, +you'll also need to know that lines person, address etc. Just pull an ANI and +then an CN/A on it. + +If you have an urge to get back at someone simply attach your linesmans +handset to the persons line (fine their line as mentioned many times before) +and leave it off the hook. You can imagine just how long it could take Ma's +loyal employees to discover the problem. Possibly weeks if not a month. + +Using the persons line to call computer systems that trace. This also goes +under the heading 'getting back at people' for the hassles you'll cause them +when the line is traced to them is numerous, bitchy Ma employees tend to be +irrational, spoiled children when it comes to busting people. + +Bugging the operator - self explanatory. + + RAISE HELL + +/Insider/ - The rest of this doc is mainly explanations, a little hell and a +few other things I decided to throw in instead of making another Vol.. It's +true purpose is to coincide with Vol. I, as well as take up space, the rest is +unknown. + + ----------- + 800 EXTENDERS + ----------- + +Basically, 800 extenders are much like Save-Net or Am-Net going 800 instead of +local access numbers. With this one you can call anywhere in the U.S. for +free, of course you need the X digit code, but this is easily found. You use +these just like you would if you were using Save-Net, i.e. you would dial +1-800-XXX-XXXX, then enter in your X digit code and then the area code + the +number you wish to reach, i.e. 1800521167429125036358443, as you can see there +is an 800 number followed by a 4 digit code followed by a number wished to be +reached. Here's a few 800 extenders, theres many many more: + +1-800- 1-800- +------- ------- +245-4890 4 DIGITS 327-6713 4 DIGITS +243-7650 6 DIGITS 328-7112 4 DIGITS +654-8494 6 DIGITS 327-9895 7 DIGITS +327-9136 4 DIGITS 227-3414 4 DIGITS +682-4000 6 DIGITS 343-1844 4 DIGITS +858-9000 3 DIGITS 521-1674 4 DIGITS +537-3511 8 DIGITS 843-0698 9 dIGITS + +=-=-=-=-=-=-=-------------------------> + LOOP NUMBERS EXPLORED + +Loop numbers simply connect two people together using two different numbers. +Thus these numbers always come in pairs, one being the higher one while the +other being the lower one. So if you were to use one, you would call one of +the pair and the other one would call the other one (you take the high road +I'll take the low road). Loop numbers are equal in quality as calling direct, +thus it would be the same quality as you would get calling your neighbour. If +you would happen to call a loop number and no one was on the other end one of +two things would happen, if you called the higher of the two you would here +silence, if you dialed the lower you would get a 1000 hertz tone. Heres a list +of some loop numbers: + + Area Code 212 + XXX-9979 (HIGH) + XXX-9977 (LOW) + +XXX= 690,534,569,432,868,255,228,677,982,466,926,220,586,524,283 + + XXX-9906 (HIGH) + XXX-9900 (LOW) + +XXX= 529,352,439,388 + +Where you see XXX you enter the prefix desired, thus if you wanted area code +212, you could choose a prefix say 690, so one person would dial 690-9906 and +the other 690-9900. + +In order to scan for loop numbers you'll need a friend to help. Loop numbers +run in pairs, the combination is 00XX and XX99. So what you need is for one +person to scan one end while the other scans the upper (using the same +prefix). The hang side has no tone while the other gives off a 1000hz tone. + +To use a loop number in order to start a conference call simply have one +person get on the hangside while another calls the conferenceing operator (PBX +operator will do). The person calling the operator (hopefully from a fortress +phone) should charge the call to the upper loop number (the one the other +person isn't on), when the operator calls to verify she'll get your freind, +who of course will accept all charges gladly. + +=-=-=-=-=-=-=-------------------------> + Customer name and address + (CN/A) + + A CN/A operator is disagnated for the use of AT&T employees who need some +information on a certain person. Ex- A Bell cop got a persons name from a nark +or whatever, he needs more info about the person so he calls up the CN/A +operator and asks her for the persons where abouts. Ma has been nice enough to +grant these operators the knowledge of a few more things (Ma's slip up), such +as their phone number. Thus we can call up one of these operators, say,'Hi, my +names Joe Rodrequiz and I'm from the Lake Oswego Bell customer service +department, I need the following info on a 'Jack Suchos'.' Then you become +really nice and ask if you can have that persons phone number so you don't +have to go over there. Since these operators are human, and are easily conned +and are very informed they'll give you just about whatever you need to know. +However you must be polite and business like.

This edition is made to give you a basic +understanding of the wicked ways of MA. I hope it'll give you a good enough +back ground to do well. Look for Bell Hell vol. 2 for more info on hacking. + + + + =-=-=-=-= + OPERATORS: + =-=-=-=-= + +Here we'll go over in detail some of the most common operators. + + TSPS OPERATOR: + +Trafic (us) Service Position System Operator is the bitch you commonly here +whenever you use a pay phone etc. To say the least she's a meat head. Her +responsibilities are as follows: + + [1] Getting all billing information for Calling Cards and 3rd number calls. + + [2] Making sure you get the right person on person-to-person calls. + + [3] Making sure the fool on the other end will pay for your collect call (why + call collect?) + + [4] Identifying calling numbers, or basically asking you, + 'what number are you calling, please.' when the system fucks up. + +Even though these operators are commonly ding-bats, you shouldn't screw with +them, for they are known to be quick with the tracer. She can even tell if you +are calling from a fortress phone. She has a portable all time ready tracer. +Beware of these deadly bitches. + + INWARD OPERATORS: + +This wench is basically an apprentice to the bitch above (TSPS) or commonly +the '0' operator. She will never question you as long as you are within her +dimension (service) area. She can only be reached by a mighty Blue Box +(discussed in up and coming tutorial) or another operator. + + DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE OPERATORS: + (DOA?DAO?) + +This is the operator you get when you call directory assistance (555-1212). +All she can do is either tell you a listed number or tell you if a number is +unlisted. Waste of time. + + DEAF D.A.O.'S + +This neat little operator is set up to help with directory assistance for deaf +people (who would they want to talk to?). She's reachable by dialing +800-855-1155. She talks to the deaf via Teletypewriters (terminals). If your +modem can transfer baudot (Oh those sweet Apple Cats can) then you can talk to +her. You might find her alot more friendly, more talkitive, and alot easier to +manipulate a number out of. However, she does use abbreviations like GA for go +ahead (pretty tricky huh). + + CN/A OPERATORS + +Oh the sweet CN/A, god bless its soul. These operators instead of giving you +information on a persons phone number, they give you information on a phone +numbers person (the person at 503-229-7600). However, if manipulated these +beauties can give you the number for an unlisted phone number (the number), +they have all kinds of access. This topic is discussed later in this tutorial. + + INTERCEPT OPERATOR: + +All places have their share of low lifes, well this is the scum, bottom of the +barrel of operators. She's the one you get when all the recordings are busy +(lower than a recording). Infact these dames can cause you more pains then a +recording. They only know a handful of english (around two sentences) and can +barely even say those. Even though they have no clue to what a trace is, +unless you know their native tongue, and then doubtfully, their just a pain in +the butt to deal with. + + OTHER OPERATORS: + +Well we have - marine verify, mobile, route and rate, ship to shore, +conference and a few other specific ones. No real help to us now. + +*NOTES: Most operators have their own little Directory Assistance. If any +operator is giving you probs ask to speak with his/her/its supervisor. This +will freak them out. In rare loveable cases you might find a nice operator +with a number like (503-123-4567). Whenever you find a 0 or 1 in the 4th +number slot then you know need a Blue Box. It'll give you special access to +those hard to get wenches. + + + + + =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= + AREA CODES ETC. + =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= + + HOW PHONE NUMBERS WORK: + +Basiclly MA made our phone numbers quite simple. Here's how they work: + +[A] The area code is what the call a three digit number plan area or NPA. This +means that an area code is just that, the code for an area. + +[B] The rest of our number (ie. 666-7209) is divided into two segments. The +first being the Central Office number (666 would be N. Portland) and the +ending (7209) is the station number, or basically your assigned home number. + +This complete combination (503-666-7209) is known as the destination code. +Here's how MA has developed the combo's: + + [NPA] [TELEPHONE NUMBER] + + X*Y XYY-YYYY + + X = a number from 2-9 + y = a number from 0-9 + * = either 0 or 1 + +Normally an area code may never cross a states boundry, thus an area code +(NPA) may not be used for both New York and for Pennsylvania. However, as for +all other rules there is an exception. Here they are. + + SPECIAL AREA CODES: + (SACS) + + 510 - TWX (USA) + 610 - TWX (CANADA) + 700 - NEW SERVICE + 710 - TWX (USA) + 800 - WATTS LINES + 810 - TWX (USA) + 900 - DIAL-IT SERVICES + 910 - TWX (USA) + + The explanations of these are as follows: + + TWX: + +Telex II, as you can see above there are 5 TWX machines. They are all owned by +Western Union. Normally these babes may only be accessed by other TWX +machines, however, if you do not wish to go and purchase one you can access +them by use of the Easylink, by Western Union. For more on this I would +suggest reading The Bioc Agents, and Tucs article on 'Hacking Western Union's +Easylink.' + + 700: + +This is a new service for employees of AT&T in which someone (one of the +special employees) can call his own 700 number (say 700-292-9876), enters +his/her code, and where he is staying and then hangs up. If there is any new +info on the case he is working on, the computer will call him back and tell +him all the latest updates. + + 800: + +There are basically two types of Watts Lines, Inward Watts and Outward watts. +These are probably some of the nicest of the special area codes since they +allow you to call for free. Here's an explanation of the two: + + INWARD WATTS: + +Inward Wide Area Telecommunications Service is probably the one your most +familiar with. MA has developed it so there are 6 different levels of Inwatts. +Level 6 being the whole U.S. (all 50 states) level 5 being all 48 contienental +states etc. all the way down to 1, only one state. Usually a company will get +a level 6 and then a level 1 because all though level 6 allows you to call +from anywhere in the U.S. it excludes the state where the call is terminated +at, so the company usually buys a level 1 for that state. + +Interstate Inwatts are less common but still exist. These are the ones you can +only call from say one state. You can tell one quite easily for they all have +a 2 for the last central office number, or the 6th number (ie. 800-XY2-XXXX). + +All companies that have an 800# must have at least two lines. This is because +if you call the first number (ie. 800-666-0190) and it rings busy the 800# +number will always go to another port to see if its busy. Inwatts customers +are billed by the hour instead of month like us. + + OUTWARD WATTS: + +Outwatts are just that, there for making outward calls only. Large companies +commonly use Outwatts since they recieve bulk discounts. Outwatt 800's are in +the form of: + + 800-*XX-XXXX + +* may only be a 0 or 1 and can only be reached by way of box. The whole set, +*XX is the areas that are accessable by that comany. + + 900: + +This is a nation number used for taking polls and the like (How do you think +they know what shows on the tube are k00l). The number for this service is, +900-555-1212. This will tell whats up on the system. Beware, this MA trick +will cost you 50 cents a minute, and 35 cents there after (ever heard of MA +being cheap?). + + =-=-=-=-= + CO CODES + =-=-=-=-= + +These are the way the switching office knows where to route the call. The +following codes are reserved nationwide: + + 555 - directory assistance + 950 - future use + 958 - plant test + 959 - plant test + 976 - dial-it services (weather etc.) + + 950: + + This includes all special service. Heres a list of a few: + + 1000 - SPC + 1022 - MCI Execunet + 1033 - US Telephone + 1044 - Allnet + 1088 - SBS Skyline + +*NOTE: These beauts are free from fortresses. + + 958,959: + +These consist of ANI, Ringback and some other MA tests. + + 976: + +Check this one out. Simply dial 976-1000. Alot of BBSs around will probably +have a more complete listing of these services. + + =-=-=-=-= + N11 CODES: + =-=-=-=-= + +I'm not sure which one of these are still in service. Basically MA wants to +dump these services, but alot are still in use, it'll vary with your area. + + 011 - international dialing prefix + 211 - coin refund operator + 411 - directory assistance + 611 - repair service + 811 - business office + 911 - EMERGENCY + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/bellhell2.hac b/textfiles.com/phreak/bellhell2.hac new file mode 100644 index 00000000..74b5e3b2 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/bellhell2.hac @@ -0,0 +1,376 @@ + ///////////////////////////////**\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ + \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\**/////////////////////////////////// + ///// ** M \\\\\\ + \\\\\ ** Bell Hell Volume #2 METAL!

I we discussed some of the minor aspects of bell hell. Now we shall +enter the realm of serious bell hell, including how to crush AT&T's firm grip +on the wired industry and Ma's underground passages. + + /MA'S CODES ETC./ +In order to make things easier for her employees, Ma has given us not only +free access to almost all her treasures but guides next to them to help us +along the way. One of the more common boxes found are the ones located either +at the end of your street, in an adjacent field or on telephone poles. Any of +these boxes contains all the lines for the surrounding neighbourhood. Ma +usually supplys a code for the wires inside on the side of the door to one of +these boxes, if not the code usually goes like this: + + Red (ring-) = Ring line, allows others to call you + Green (tip+) = Calling out line, for you to call others + +Ma has conveniently located these, the red on the right and the green on the +left. If you run into one of these boxes and it's locked then you'll need to +purchase is either a 1/2" crowbar or an 7/16" hex driver, prefferably the +latter. In order to use the 7/16, simply give a 1/8" turn counter clockwise, +presto you are in. The crowbar is self explanatory I believe. + +The other, and less likely to be found of the bell underground network is just +that, the underground network. To find one of these simply look for a manhole +cover with a bell in the middle instead of an S or what-ever you sanitary +dept. might use. The aspects and entry of these will be discussed later in +this article, now to the boxes. + +Now that you are in one of these boxes there is a rather interesting list of +prospects you can do, connect a linesmans handset, connect a box, or eavesdrop +to name a few, here's some of the ways to do the following. + +Hell #1: + + /LINESMANS HANDSET/ +In order to make a linesmans handset (if not included within the newly found +box) you'll need a few things: + + 1 a phone (prefferably a GTE flip fone or a slimline) + 2 a spliceing knife (any knife will do, the sharper the better) + 3 a set of alligator clamps (if not already within the box) + +Now take your knife and cut off all the wires and the modular jack (if one) +saving the red (ring-) and green (tip+) wires. Now attach the alligator clips, +one to the red and one to the green, and your set. All you need do is attach +the alligator clips to the designated colors on the box (red - red/green - +green) and you have essentially become an extension of that line. + +Hell #2: + + /THE BLACK/BLUE BOX/ +Finally a place where you can use that box of yours with minimal worries of +being caught (the only way would be to get caught red-handed). Ah yes, bell +hell at one of its finer points. Commonly it takes Ma about a month or so to +figure out the trip on this one. + +If you are unfamilar with boxes, the black box allows others to call you free +where-as the blue box allows you to use operator lines and even become one of +the bitches (become an operator). For more info I would suggest consulting +black/blue box plans. + +Use the normal plans for a black/blue box and make the following +modifications: + + Equipment: + (1) SPST SWITCH (found at your local Trash Shack) + (1) 10K OHM 1/2 WATT 10% RESISTOR (same as above) + SOME EXTRA WIRE (same as above above) + +Now disconnect the green wire in the box and connect it to one of the two +poles on the SPST switch. Take a piece of your extra wire connect one end to +the other pole on your SPST switch and the other end to the terminal. Now +place the 10k ohm resistor between the terminal and the terminal. +Connect it (the 10k ohm resistor) via wire to the two. The terminal +should have a green wire going to it and the terminal should have a white +and blue wire connected to it. Your finished product should look something +like this: + + --/-/-- + :S P S T: + ------- + :: :: + -----GREEN WIRE--:: ::---- + ! + 10K OHM + ! + ! + -----WHITE WIRE-----------\\ +------BLUE WIRE----------------- + +This is simply the basic wiring, if you decide to become one with advancement +you might try hooking up lights to go on when your online or perhaps a +recorder, what-ever you wish. + +Hell #3 + + /EAVES-DROPPING/ +There are many various ways to accomplish this, seeing how I like to stick to +basics I will describe what I feel is the easiest by far. First you need to +make a linesmans handset as mentioned above if you already haven't. Now simply +disconnect the sending end (the end you talk through) and listen in. From here +you can accomplish several various tasks. If you are into blackmail you can +hook up a tape recorder (if you want to do this you can leave me a msg. or +wait for another file later, its rather a long task) or you may simply hold +the recorder to the listening end of the phone. To find out about the line +etc. You can do a couple of things, first you can dial your ANI (automatic +number identification) and find out the line you are on, after this call, you +are a local CN/A (described below) and run a check on who's line it is etc. +This can bring all kinds of hell for those not-so-trustworthy wifes/husbands. + +More Hell: + + /OTHER TRICKS/ +You can set up a conference call simply by dialing your conference operator +(0-700-456-1000) and setting it up, just do what she says. I suggest this +operator for her lines are superior to those of the bitchy PBX ones. Oh, +you'll also need to know that lines person, address etc. Just pull an ANI and +then an CN/A on it. + +If you have an urge to get back at someone simply attach your linesmans +handset to the persons line (fine their line as mentioned many times before) +and leave it off the hook. You can imagine just how long it could take Ma's +loyal employees to discover the problem. Possibly weeks if not a month. + +Using the persons line to call computer systems that trace. This also goes +under the heading 'getting back at people' for the hassles you'll cause them +when the line is traced to them is numerous, bitchy Ma employees tend to be +irrational, spoiled children when it comes to busting people. + +Bugging the operator - self explanatory. + + RAISE HELL + +/Insider/ - The rest of this doc is mainly explanations, a little hell and a +few other things I decided to throw in instead of making another Vol.. It's +true purpose is to coincide with Vol. I, as well as take up space, the rest is +unknown. + + ----------- + 800 EXTENDERS + ----------- + +Basically, 800 extenders are much like Save-Net or Am-Net going 800 instead of +local access numbers. With this one you can call anywhere in the U.S. for +free, of course you need the X digit code, but this is easily found. You use +these just like you would if you were using Save-Net, i.e. you would dial +1-800-XXX-XXXX, then enter in your X digit code and then the area code + the +number you wish to reach, i.e. 1800521167429125036358443, as you can see there +is an 800 number followed by a 4 digit code followed by a number wished to be +reached. Here's a few 800 extenders, theres many many more: + +1-800- 1-800- +------- ------- +245-4890 4 DIGITS 327-6713 4 DIGITS +243-7650 6 DIGITS 328-7112 4 DIGITS +654-8494 6 DIGITS 327-9895 7 DIGITS +327-9136 4 DIGITS 227-3414 4 DIGITS +682-4000 6 DIGITS 343-1844 4 DIGITS +858-9000 3 DIGITS 521-1674 4 DIGITS +537-3511 8 DIGITS 843-0698 9 dIGITS + +=-=-=-=-=-=-=-------------------------> + LOOP NUMBERS EXPLORED + +Loop numbers simply connect two people together using two different numbers. +Thus these numbers always come in pairs, one being the higher one while the +other being the lower one. So if you were to use one, you would call one of +the pair and the other one would call the other one (you take the high road +I'll take the low road). Loop numbers are equal in quality as calling direct, +thus it would be the same quality as you would get calling your neighbour. If +you would happen to call a loop number and no one was on the other end one of +two things would happen, if you called the higher of the two you would here +silence, if you dialed the lower you would get a 1000 hertz tone. Heres a list +of some loop numbers: + + Area Code 212 + XXX-9979 (HIGH) + XXX-9977 (LOW) + +XXX= 690,534,569,432,868,255,228,677,982,466,926,220,586,524,283 + + XXX-9906 (HIGH) + XXX-9900 (LOW) + +XXX= 529,352,439,388 + +Where you see XXX you enter the prefix desired, thus if you wanted area code +212, you could choose a prefix say 690, so one person would dial 690-9906 and +the other 690-9900. + +In order to scan for loop numbers you'll need a friend to help. Loop numbers +run in pairs, the combination is 00XX and XX99. So what you need is for one +person to scan one end while the other scans the upper (using the same +prefix). The hang side has no tone while the other gives off a 1000hz tone. + +To use a loop number in order to start a conference call simply have one +person get on the hangside while another calls the conferenceing operator (PBX +operator will do). The person calling the operator (hopefully from a fortress +phone) should charge the call to the upper loop number (the one the other +person isn't on), when the operator calls to verify she'll get your freind, +who of course will accept all charges gladly. + +=-=-=-=-=-=-=-------------------------> + Customer name and address + (CN/A) + + A CN/A operator is disagnated for the use of AT&T employees who need some +information on a certain person. Ex- A Bell cop got a persons name from a nark +or whatever, he needs more info about the person so he calls up the CN/A +operator and asks her for the persons where abouts. Ma has been nice enough to +grant these operators the knowledge of a few more things (Ma's slip up), such +as their phone number. Thus we can call up one of these operators, say,'Hi, my +names Joe Rodrequiz and I'm from the Lake Oswego Bell customer service +department, I need the following info on a 'Jack Suchos'.' Then you become +really nice and ask if you can have that persons phone number so you don't +have to go over there. Since these operators are human, and are easily conned +and are very informed they'll give you just about whatever you need to know. +However you must be polite and business like.

Subject: BBS Confiscation +I think the following message retrieved from Compuserve deserves widespread +circulation; no further explanation needed:On May 16 I was served with a search warrant and my system seized because of a message that allegedly had been left, unknown to me, on one of the public boards. This was done by the L.A.P.D. under direction of a complaint by Pacific telephone. All Sysop's should be warned that under present law (or at least the present interpetation) they are now responsible for ALL information that is left or exchanged on their system and that ANY illegal or even questionable activities, messages or even public outpourings are their direct legal responsibility and that they will be held directly accountable regardless of whether or not they knew of it, used it, and regardless of any other circumstances! Yes, it is unjust. Yes, it is legally questionable. But it, for the moment, seems to be enforcable and is being "actively pursued" as a felony. I would appreciate it if this message was spread to as many systems as possible so that the word may be spread to the greatest number of Sysops. 1984 may, indeed, be here... Jack, I'm interested in more details of this one. Do you have any? It sounds like a crack=down on pirate boards more than anything else. Id be interested to know whether the alleged message is supposed to have information in it allowing others to break into someone's computer system, like phone numbers and passwords. Or if not that, what the nature of the complaint was. I agree that all sysops should be aware of what their interpreted liabilities are, nontheless. And that bulletin boards, including those not in the grey market, will be monitored closely by industry groups in a counterattack; and that legislation pending in several states will provide pretty scary penalties for what used to be considered a lark. I'm not sure about the civil liberties issues here; but as I've said before, when the game goes hardball everyone loses out... I dunno where the BBS is (was), but Mission Hills is in area code 818. Scary story, huh? But I'm not too surprised... I stumbled across a long list of credit card numbers on a BBS about a month ago. I meant to turn it over to the telco but never got around to it, now I am glad I didn't. The losses are starting to get really big, and the pirate BBSs spread information faster than the telcos can keep up. It's interesting that a pirate publication called TAP has been published on +paper for years, giving away tricks to beat Ma Bell and her children out of +bucks with credit card checksum algorithms (which used to be trivial), coin +phone control tone sequences, etc. Now that similar information is published +electronically, free speech (free bauds?) no longer applies, it would seem. +This promises to become a very interesting legal situation. The very worst scenario I can think of unreels from the complainant, the phone company. The report sounds like the company is monitoring all the BBS's in L.A. County (or is it Orange County?) Conceivably, just conceivably, as the ultimate carrier the company exercised what someone felt was a "public responsibility" not to carry certain text. The company doesn't want to dirty its lines with ethnic slurs (from racial epithets to Polish jokes), possible obscenity, or libel. By analogy, an independent print shop can be sued for libel in most states for +a book that it sends through its presses, though I've never heard of that +happening. Usually both author and publisher are targets in a libel action. +That is, the phone company might be liable by the letter of the law, but only +the author and sysop would be "conventional" defendants. Since the telephone +company is not poor, however, it probably considers itself fair game every time +a new lawyer graduates from USC. And that's not all. The phone company doesn't want to be a party to distributing a copyrighted program over its lines in hex. Doesn't want to help distribute information on how to break a copy-protect scheme. Principally, it doesn't want to aid hackers in combining their prowess to raid mainframes, which is "theft of services" or worse. (That happened.) Doesn't even want to be the vehicle by which dozens of teenagers pile up a $150,000 long-distance tab on an unwitting customer's monthly bill, which the company or AT&T will have to eat. (That happened.) It doesn't want to be a party to a cocaine deal or a prostitution ring. The least fanciful scenario is either that the FBI is putting pressure on local phone companies to police the BBS's against hackers raiding mainframes, or that AT&T is demanding scourge work against hackers raiding the long-distance system (presumably to get free connect time while raiding mainframes). And so the motives are laudable, the officials all honorable men. But monitoring the BBS's automatically delids a can of worms. If in the course of searching the boards a phone company finds a popular copyrighted program in hex, which it wasn't looking for, it becomes a witting carrier of copyright infringement unless it takes action to terminate the infringement. What if it finds a message explaining how to break a copy-protection scheme? What if...? Hire more lawyers to decide what the BBS's can get away with, whether the message "RR IS A PAINTED WHORE" is non-libelous under the Sullivan decision, whether the content of that board endangers the morals of the minors who flock to it. FREEZE! The strategy (or experiment) in southern California is to beat on the heads of the sysops to do their own policing, which is a "fair-minded" approach. It will shut down a lot of boards. Self-policing will take off some of the heat, but phone-company monitoring of +the BBS's is a goose-step inside the door and won't go away just because it +gets results. The local companies that do it should be dragged before the +public by their heels, and it wouldn't hurt if BBS users and their sympathizers +waited until the disconnect warning before paying their bills. A lot of high-handed, reckless stuff that occurs on the BBS's needs to be stopped, but the lid has to be kept on the can of worms that has been hign-mindedly, recklessly opened in southern California. A local news story some months ago told of a woman whose monthly phone bill weighed in at $150,000, up from $45. She got it straightened out. At dinner tonight my guest Mike, who works for that phone company, filled in some details. Seems the victim's heavy usage started after using her ten-digit account number and four-digit personal number at an airport. LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS, as they said in World War II. At this airport one of that infamous band of conspirators known as "hackers" was at prey. Anyway, her numbers then popped up on certain BBS's and the ensuing flood of calls from California and New York, some concurrent, weren't flagged by the +program that checks credit calls because different family members are allowed +to use the same numbers and therefore so are "hackers." Apparently the billing office should have checked with some other office on a $150,000 monthly toll, but didn't because (as I understand it) of some provision for accelerated usage in the computer program. The woman had made a spate of calls the previous month that disrupted her $45 norm, allowing the whopper to get into the mail. +Don't know whether this was a malicious trick on the woman or on the phone +company. Reminds me of the time in Ghana when the electric company cut my lights off onthe assumption that I couldn't pay the bill they hadn't yet sent me (it was my first, covering four months use at a rate equal to my salary.) The "hacker" victim got away with a funny dinner-party anecdote. I had to negotiate for three weeks to get my lights turned on again and my account switched from business to domestic rates. I wound up having to pay half my four-month industrial billing, which was actually a flat rate. What's to stop the phone hackers from running up big MCI bills, (under an account under an assumed name, perhaps...), then just not paying the bills and switching to SBS or CCSI? Eventually you might exhaust all the various long-distance services, but it would take quite a while. I bet they all start to have a large problem with non-bill-payers, particularly because they don't have the threat of cutting off your phone service. Sysop Charlie Strom 76703,602 To: All The following message was retrieved from another system: On Saturday, June 2, there was a meeting of Los Angeles area sysops to find out the truth behind the confiscation of the Mog-Ur BBS. The Sysop of the Mog-Ur BBS was there along with his lawyer. Here is a report on what I learned at the meeting: The messages (there were two of them) containing the AT&T calling card numbers were left on his board using an option to leave an anonymous message. The Sysop can tell who leaves such messages, but the general public can't. Another feature of his BBS software is that you can specify the length of time (in days) that a message should stay up. The messages in question were left with a very small number of days and Tom (the sysop) never got to see them before the system automatically killed them. During the time the messages were on, a Pacific Bell agent called in and saw them. PacBell asked the police to get a search warrant for Tom's computer. This is standard procedure when PacTel finds a BBS handing out phone phreak information. No effort was made to ask Tom to delete the messages or find out who left them. Either somehow Tom found out that PacBell was going to show up or they allowed him t3,602 To: All Tom has retained a lawyer who thinks the whole thing will be thrown out and is going to try to make PacBell look bad. If it ever goes to court he says all he has to do is get a jury of normal people (i.e. no PacBell employees) and present it as a case of John Doe vs. the phone company. Nobody likes the phone company. The lawyer has documented cases where this kind of information was left for weeks on UCLA computers and on CompuServe (I assume in BULLET), and the police did nothing (its easy to pick on a small computer sysop, but trying to confiscate UCLA or CompuServe is harder). InfoWorld reporter Peggy Watt was on the scene and a story will run on the front page of the next issue about it. If there is any difference between my story and the one in InfoWorld, believe InfoWorld. I have tried to get this correct, but Peggy talked with Tom and his lawyer a lot longer than I did, and she took written notes (this is from memory). PacBell has refused to talk to Peggy, and the LAPD person who conducted the raid is on vacation. When the superior of the detective was asked about it, the reply was like "You mean we confiscated $10,000 worth of computers? I didn't know that!". It was reported earlier that Tom had a section on his BBS called "Underground" where these kinds of messages were posted before. I have found out it was his policy to delete any such messages when he saw them. The idea behind the section was not to rip off the phone company, but to discuss "things you wouldn't want just anybody to read" (Tom's system didn't require validation to use, except for the underground section which you had to ask for access to). Another idea was to provide a place to leave unpopular opinions since it had the ability to leave anonymous messages. I hope this clears up what this section was meant for. Thats all for now. The lawyer is pressing for something to be decided during the next week. (Note from C.S. - see Infoworld of 6/18/84, page 11.) Would you take Safeway to court for having a phone number on their bulletin board in the store? I sort of suspect that Pacific Telesis (sounds like a California cult) will get the case thrown out of court, but NOT without a lot of heartburn for Tom! It may not be a matter of whether or not they win the case.

This is extremely simple to +construct, and doesn't take much time. + First, get about a 12 foot phone cord. Regular. They cost about uh...$2.50 +at K-Mart or something. Second, cut off one of the ends of it. (ie, cut the +little plastic thingy off). Third, cut some of the plastic stuff off; like +get a razor blade and cut it, but don't cut the wires inside. (Very tricky). +Fourth, when you see the wires inside, there should be a red, a green, a +yellow, and a black. Ignore the yellow and black. In fact, cut them off. Now +strip some of the little red and green plastic off. (Yes, with your razor +blade). Now get out your soldering gun! (Oh, did i forget to mention that?) +Now, get some solder and some alligator clips. (Available at Radio Shack for +about $1.10 for 10 of them). Now solder the green wire to one clip, and the +red to another. + Simple? You've finished your first phone 'tap'. Now, grab your fone, (ie, +the receiver), and head outside. + In your backyard, there should be a silver box with "BELL" written on it. +They're not that hard to find, usually, you can just look up at the telephone +poll and there are wires leading down. Anyway--pop off the little box. If it +doesn't budge, go grab a screwdriver. Now unscrew the big screw at the bottom +of the box. NOW pop it off. There should be screws and wires that look some- +thing like this: + + *(red wire) *(green wire) + + *(screw) + + *(yellow) *(black) + +Or something along those lines. The little asteriks are screws. Usually, +(at least around my neighborhood), the green alligator clip goes to the green +screw, and the red to the red. It could be different, however, so switch them +around if needed. I don't think the bottom screws are ever needed, unless the +house has another separate fone line. And be careful! I got shocked once, and +it wasn't very phun.. + + Alright, so that's basic, and it's very easy to get caught with, so don't +try it unless your neighbors aren't going to be home for a long time, or are +on vacation. A neato nifty thing to do is to stick an automatic recorder in +their little box. (When i say 'their', I am referring to your victim's). +They're available at Radio Shack for $19. Pretty steep unless you're a rich +kid, which i'm not, but that's another story. So, you rip one off. (Haha, +joke... I do NOT condone stealing things). Ok, so anyway, you buy one from +Radio Shack for $19, use it until you don't need it anymore (up to 30 days, +usually), and then take it back... if it's in good condition. Anyway (for +the 4th time), you get a microcassette recorder (you can buy mine!) and +stick your little contraption in the silver Bell box. Then the recording +will start when they pick up the fone, and stop automatically when they're +done. Just make sure your neighbors don't check their Bell box often. +(And *REMEMBER*, the fine for evesdropping is 5 years and $10,000.. the +CHOICE is YOURS... hehehehe). + + II: WIRELESS TRANSMITTER PLANS + + This is a transmitter that consists on a one colpitts oscillator that +takes its power from the fone line. Since the resistance it puts on the +line is less that 100 ohms, it has no effect on the telephone performance, +and can't be detected by your neighbors or Ma Bell. Since it's a low-powered +device that doesn't use an antenna for radiation, it is legal to the FCC... +BUT--Not legal for what we're going to do with it! + What it does, is use four diodes to form a bridge rectifier. It produces +a varying DC voltage varying with the auto-signals on the line. That voltage +is used to supply the voltage for the oscillator transistor. Which is +connected to a radio circuit. From there, you can tune it to any channel you +want.

I RECOMMEND YOU SEE YOU + +R LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT BEFORE DOING + +ANYTHING SAID IN THIS ARTICLE. (HAHAHAH + +A!!!!!!) + + + + + + +Cmd: + +Ctrl-S to Stop/Start Ctrl-C to Cancel + + + +-------------------------------------- + Construction Project: + Atomic Bomb + ------------------------------------- + + The following paper is +taken from the Journal of +Irreproducible Results, +voluhe 25/number 4/1979-P.O. +Box 234 Chicago Heights, +Illinois 60411. +Dubscription's are 1 year for +$3.70 + +1. Introduction + + Worldwide controversy has +been generated recently from +several court decisions in the +united states which have +restricted popular magazines +from printing articles which +describe how to make an atomic +bomb. The reason usually given +by the courts isthat national +security would be compromised +if such information were +generally available. But, +since it is commonly known that +all of the information is +publicly available in most +major metropolitan libraries, +obviously the court's +officially stated position is +covering up a more important +factor; namely, that such +atomic devices would prove too +difficult for the average +citizen to construct. The +United States courts cannot +afford to insult the vast +majorities by insinuating that +they do not have the +intelligence of a cabbage, and +thus the "official" press +releases claim national +security as a blanket +restriction. + + The rumors that have +unfortunately occurred as a +result of widespread +misinformation can (and must) +be cleared up now, for the +construction project this month +is the construction of a +thermonuclear device, which +will hopefully clear up any +misconceptions you might have +about such a project. We will +see how easy it is to make a +device of your very own in ten +easy steps, to have and hold as +you see fit, without annoying +interference from the +government or the courts. + + The project will cost +between $5,000 and $30,000 +dollars, depending on how +fancy you want the final product +to be. Since last week's +column, "Let's make a +time machine", was received so +well in the new step-by-step +format, this month's column +will follow the same format. + +2. Construction method + +1. First, obtain about 50 +pounds (110 kg) of weapons +grade plutonium at your local +supplier (see note 1). A +nuclear power plant is not +recommended, as large +quantities of missing plutonium +tends to make plant engineers +unhappy. We suggest that you +contact your local terrorist +organization, or perhaps the +junior achievement in your +neighborhood. + +2. Please remember that +plutonium, especially pure, +refined plutonium, is somewhat +dangarous. Wash your hands +with soap and warm water after +handling the material, and +don't allow your children or +pets to play in it or eat it. +any left over plutonium dust is +excellent as an insect +repellant. You may wish to +keep the substance in a lead +box if you can find one in your +local junk yard, but an old +coffee can will do nicely. + +3. Fashion together a metal +enclosure to house the device. +Most common varieties of sheet +metal can be bent to disguise +this enclosure as, for example, +a briefcase, a lunch pail, or a +buick. Do not use tinfoil. + +4. Arrange the plutonium into +two hemispheral shapes, +separated by about 4 cm. +userubber cement to hold the +plutonium dust together. +gelignite is much better, +bit messier to work with. Your +helpful hardware man will be +happy to provide you with this +item. + +6. Pack the TNT around the +hemisphere arrangement +constructed in step 4. If +you cannot find gelignite, feel +free to use tnt packed in with +playdo or any modeling clay. +colored clay is acceptable, but +there is no need to get fancy +at this point. + +7. Enclose the structure from +step 6 into the enclosure made +in step 3. use a strong glue +such as "crazy glue" to bind +the hemisphere arrangement +against the enclosure to +prevent accidental detonation +which might result from +vibration or mishandling. + +8. To detonate the device, +obtain a radio controlled (rc) +servo mechanism, as found in +RC model airplanes and cars. +with a minimum of effort, a +remote plunger can be made that +will strike a detonator cap to +effect a small explosion. +These detonator caps can be +found in the electrical supply +section of your local +supermarket. We recommend the +"Blast-O-Mactic" brand because +they are no deposit-no return. + +9. Now hide the completed +device from the neighbors and +children. The garage is not +recommended because of high +humidity and the extreme range +of temperatures experienced +there. Nuclear devices have +been known to spontaneously +detonate in these unstable +conditions. The hall closet or +under the kitchen sink will be +perfectly suitable. + +10. Now you are the proud +owner of a working +thermonuclear device! it is a +great ice-breaker at parties, +and in a pinch, can be used for +national defense. + +3. Theory of Operation + + The device basically works +when the detonated tnt +compresses the plutonium into a +critical mass. the critical +mass then produces a nuclear +chain reaction similar to the +domino chain reaction +(discussed in this column, +"Dominos on the March" march, +1968). the chain reaction then +promptly produces a big +thermonuclear reaction. +And there you have it, a 10 +megaton explosion! + +4. Next month's column + + In next month's column, we +will learn how to clone your +neighbor's wife in six easy +steps. This project promises +to be an exciting weekend full +of fun and profit. Common +kitchen utensils will be all +you need. See you next month! + +5. Notes + +1. Plutonium (Pu), atomic +number 94, is a radioactive +metallic element formed by the +decay of neptunium and is +similar in chemical structure +to uranium, saturium, +jupiternium, and marsium. + + +6.

A BLACK BOX is a device that is hooked up to your +fone that fixes your fone so that when you get a call, the caller doesn't get +charged for the call. This is good for calls up to 1/2 hour, after 1/2 hour +the Fone Co. gets suspicious, and then you can guess what happens. + + The way it works: + + What this little beauty does is keep the line voltage from dropping to 10v +when you answer your fone. The line is instead kept at 36v and it will make +the fone think that it is still ringing while your talking. The reason for +the 1/2 hour time limit is that the Fone CO. thinks that something is wrong +after 1/2 an hour of ringing. + + All parts are available at Radio Shack. Using the least possible parts +and arrangement, the cost is $.98. And that is parts for two of them! Talk +about a deal! If you want to splurge then you can get a small PC board, and +a switch. There are two schematics for this box, one is for most normal +fones. The second one is for fones that don't work with the first.

This is because of the fact +that LED's must be put in, in a certain direction. Depending on which way +you put the LED is what controls what wires are for the line & fone. + + How to find out: + + Hook up the box in one direction using one set of wires for line and the +other for fone. + + *NOTE* For Model I switch should be OFF. + *NOTE* For Model ][ switch should be set to side connecting the LED. + + Once you have hooked it up, then pick up the fone and see if the LED is +on. If it is, the LED will be lit. If is doesn't light then switch the wires +and try again. Once you know which are which then label them. + + *NOTE* - If neither directions worked then your switch was in the wrong + position. Now label the switch in its current position as BOX ON. + + How to use it: + + The purpose of this box is not to people who call you so it would make +since that it can only be used to receive calls. When the box is *ON* then +you may only receive calls. Your fone will ring like normal and the LED on +the box will flash. If you answer the fone now, then the LED will light and +the caller will not be charged. Hang up the fone after you are done talking +like normal. You will not be able to get a dial-tone or call when the box is +on, so turn the box *OFF* for normal calls.

It caused us to hold on directory +assistance for several minutes. It gave us many unique error messages. It +made it virtually impossible to make any operator-assisted calls from all +around the country. For the first time in along while, the voices at AT&T were +not answe ring the phone. + + As well all know, a strike is an organized work stoppage by the employees +in order to compel the employer to meet some demand. If the workers go on strik +e, it stands to reason that the company should suffer. If, for example, the uni +on of Cabbage-Patch producers was to strike, then none would be made, and consu +mers would rant and rave. If the local Cabbage-Patch conglomerate had anticipat +ed a strike, they could step up production, fill several hundred ware houses wi +th millions of surrogate orphans and, when the strike occurred, they could sell + the surplus. The workers would lose their bargaining power in this case, unles +s the Cabbage-Patch truckers' union also struck, or perhaps people stopped adop +ting the cretins, however unlikely that might seem. + + This analogy leads us back to last summer when 675,000 telephone employees + went on strike. A walk-out of the magnitude should have devastated any company +. AT&T though, is the exception to the rule. What AT&T depends on are phones, w +ires, switching systems, computers, electrictiy, some optical fibers, satellite +s, microwave towers, and other nifty 21st century things that are all designed +to run without the interference of human decision. The people are really just t +here to remove illegal third party phone calls from your bill, to make sure tha +t your handwritten check matches the computer-read phone bill, or to tell you t +hat the machine you are at cannot return your dime and that you will get a chec +k for 10 cents in the mail. 97% of the calls made today don't use any operator +assistance at all. And most of the other 3% could have been dialed without the +assistance of a human. More and more "services" of your phone company are becom +ing completely automated. With ESS, customers can dial overseas direct. + +Android information is popping up left and right. AT&T, a leader in technology, + doesn't need their workers all that much. + + Glen E. Watts, president of the Communications Workers of America, said, " +In 1950, for example, total labor costs amounted to about 45% of the telephone +dollar while in 1980 they amounted only to 29%." John Patrick Phillips (author +of Ma Bell's Millions) says that the company encourages or even "maneuvers" a s +trike. According to him, Ma Bell reaps huge rewards from a strike. Phillips, a +disgruntled ex-employee, who at times compares the phone company to fascism, wo +uld have presented AT&T's organized scheme last August like this: + + 675,000 workers strike for about 3 weeks. 3 weeks out of a year amounts to + 5.8% of a worker's salary. Let's say a phone worker made at the time of the st +rike a modest $250 per week (operators made $373, while systems technicians, th +e best paid workers, made $535). + + At this time AT&T provided substandard service to the people for the same +prices. The 3% loss in phone usage due to lack of operators was proably easily +made up by people making an extra effort to dial direct and by the fact that so +me of the calls were being handeled by scabbing supervisory level employees. An +d so, the company nets pure profit: 3 week strike x $250/week x 675,000 workers + = $506,250,000! + + Phillips also notes that because managers and supervisors were doing the d +irty work of the phone company, these people could not work on new projects. Th +is means that several hundred million dollars would not be invested in expendit +ures on new projects because there is no one to do the work. So AT&T would get +interest on this money during the strike and even for some time after it was se +ttled until work had resumed. This yields several more million dollars in profi +t for AT&T. + + AT&T proably made out directly over half a billion dollars for the strike. + At the same time companys like New York Telephone sought to delay a $160 milli +on rate increase so it could ask for another increase to reflect the new contra +cts. + + As part of the settlement 21 days later, top craft workers got a 5.5% incr +ease for the first year of their 3 year contract and 1.5% for each of the next +two years. They also got a $31 million training fund ($46 per employee) to help + them deal with new technology and remain employable humans. All of these "gain +s" are subsidized by the half a billion dollars gaining lots of interest which +AT&T did not have to pay to their employees. AT&T at first offered a ridiculous + 3.5% increase for the first year and no increase for the next two, but after l +osing 5.8% of their salary by striking, workers got a 5.5% increase above the c +ost of living which is probably entirely subsidized by the strike itself and by + rate increases. + + It's certainly a nifty deal for Ma Bell. Their workers blow off steam and +pay for their own raises, and stockholders don't have to worry one bit. + + The strike had its effect on the consumer. As we all know, many were diali +ng, touchtoning, or redialing their calls almost like usual and other were seve +rely inconvenienced by a few managers and supervisors working as long distance +or directory assistance operators often for many hours overtime. New installati +ons came to a standstill and many were backlogged for several months. Any emerg +ency repairs had to be handled by supervisory personnel. But after all this, th +e same fat phone bill came to people's homes the next month, without any delay. + + In actuality, users cannot complain to or boycott the phone company as the +y could the Cabbage-Patch manufacturers, in our earlier scenario. They cannot m +ake AT&T or their local company do anything because each customer is as unimpor +tant as each employee. We, as customers, are all dependent on the phone. We hav +e at least one in each home. We are billed if we use it or not, and are billed +more to have it shut off for a month or two. We are all so dependent on the lin +es that run into our homes and on the one and a half million payphones that abs +orb our money that complaints of any one or even thosuands of us are quite usel +ess. All of this utility (note the meaning of this word) was until recently cot +rolled almost exclusively by one company, so in the name of human spirit, roll +on with the divestiture. + +--------------------------------------- + + + diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/bluebeep.txt b/textfiles.com/phreak/bluebeep.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..9d691cd1 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/bluebeep.txt @@ -0,0 +1,229 @@ +;!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! +; +; PLEASE READ THIS DOC FILE FROM THE PROGRAM. +; IT HAS COLORCODES IN IT THAT WOULD MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE +; TO READ FROM A NORMAL TEXTFILE LISTER. +; +; THANKS. +; +; Select Info/Documentation in BlueBEEP to read this manual. +; +; This doc file is made up to be read by the Doc.

(Their Internet address +is 2600@well.sf.ca.us) I thought it might be of interest, so I'm passing it +along. Enjoy! + + -- Urizen + + + "U.S. Phone Companies Face Built-In Privacy Hole" + + Phone companies across the nation are cracking down on hacker explorations +in the world of Busy Line Verification (BLV). By exploiting a weakness, it's +possible to remotely listen in on phone conversations at a selected telephone +number. While the phone companies can do this any time they want, this recently +discovered self-serve monitoring feature has created a telco crisis of sorts. + + According to an internal Bellcore memo from 1991 and Bell Operating Company +documents, a "significant and sophisticated vulnerability" exists that could +affect the security and privacy of BLV. In addition, networks using a DMS-TOPS +architecture are affected. + + According to this and other documents circulating within the Bell Operating +Companies, an intruder who gains access to an OA&M port in an office that has a +BLV trunk group and who is able to bypass port security and get "access to the +switch at a craft shell level" would be able to exploit this vulnerability. + + The intruder can listen in on phone calls by following these four steps: + + "1. Query the switch to determine the Routing Class Code assigned to + the BLV trunk group. + + "2. Find a vacant telephone number served by that switch. + + "3. Via recent change, assign the Routing Class Code of the BLV + trunks to the Chart Column value of the DN (directory number) of the vacant + telephone number. + + "4. Add call forwarding to the vacant telephone number (Remote Call + Forwarding would allow remote definition of the target telephone number + while Call Forwarding Fixed would only allow the specification of one + target per recent change message or vacant line)." + + By calling the vacant phone number, the intruder would get routed to the +BLV trunk group and would then be connected on a "no-test vertical" to the +target phone line in a bridged connection. + + According to one of the documents, there is no proof that the hacker +community knows about the vulnerability. The authors did express great concern +over the publication of an article entitled "Central Office Operations--The End +Office Environment" which appeared in the electronic newsletter LEGION OF +DOOM/HACKERS TECHNICAL JOURNAL [sic]. In this article, reference is made to the +"No Test Trunk." + + The article says, "All of these testing systems have one thing in common: +they access the line through a No Test Trunk. This is a switch which can drop +in on a specific path or line and connect it to the testing device. It depends +on the device connected to the trunk, but there is usually a noticeable click +heard on the tested line when the No Test Trunk drops in. Also, the testing +devices I have mentioned here will seize the line, busying it out. This will +present problems when trying to monitor calls, as you would have to drop in +during the call. The No Test Trunk is also the method in which operator +consoles perform verifications and interrupts." + + In order to track down people who might be abbusing this security hole, +phone companies across the nation are being advised to perform the following +four steps: + + "1. Refer to Chart Columns (or equivalent feature tables) and validate + their integrity by checking against the corresponding office records. + + "2. Execute an appropriate command to extract the directory numbers to + which features such as BLV and Call Forwarding have been assigned. + + "3. Extract the information on the directory number(s) from where the + codes relating to BLV and Call Forwarding were assigned to vacant directory + numbers. + + "4. Take appropriate action including on-line evidence gathering, if + warranted." + + Since there are different vendors (OSPS from AT&T, TOPS from NTI, etc.) as +well as different phone companies, each with their own architecture, the +problem cannot go away overnight. + + And even if hackers are denied access to this "feature", BLV networks will +still have the capability of being used to monitor phone lines. Who will be +monitored and who will be listening are two forever unanswered questions. + diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/bombcb.txt b/textfiles.com/phreak/bombcb.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..bebc8223 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/bombcb.txt @@ -0,0 +1,103 @@ +bombcb.txt + + CARDBOARD TUBE BOMBS + +The following instructions explain how to make a pyrotechnic device that +makes a hell of a lot of smoke and noise, yet emits only a relatively +minor amount of shrapnel. + +The best size of cardboard tubing to use for this device is from 1/4" +inner diameter to a maximum of 1/2" inner diameter.

For starters, I recommend 3" to +4" of cardboard tubing. Use a knife and make a CLEAN cut at both ends of +the piece of cardboard. My favorite cardboard is that found on some +brands of clothes hangers. You can use other rolls. + +Using either a drill or a dremel tool, drill a single fuze hole exactly +midway down the tube. This hole should fit as tightly around your fuze +wire as possible, so depending on the size of the fuze wire, use an +appropriately sized bit. + +Cut a length of fuze wire (4 inches is usually sufficient). Place just +the first 1/10" inside the fuze hole. Using the hot glue gun, carefully +squirt a small bead around the fuze right up against the fuze hole. This +is to seal the fuze hole, as well as to firmly attach the fuze to the +device. When you have squirted the little bead in place, twist the fuze +around, slowly sliding it into the case while continuing to twist it. +This will tend to draw the glue into the case, which will make a very +solid fit and good seal. + +When the fuze is all the way in (pressed against the far side of the case +opposite the fuze hole), it's time to begin charging the device. Put a +little piece of scotch tape over one end of the tube (doesn't matter +which). Make sure no powder can leak out past this tape, and then pour +powder into the open end. Make sure the powder is able to fall past the +fuze wire sticking through the tube. Fill the tube completely. + +When the tube is completely full of powder, tap the tube to allow the +powder to settle a little bit. When it has stopped settling, carefully +pour out a little bit of the powder. The amount of space you want free at +the top of the tube should be approximately 2 or 3 times the diameter of +the tube. Any less than this will not allow for a strong end seal. + +Sticking the nose of the glue gun into the open end, squirt in enough glue +to fill the end, stopping when you have a blob of glue sticking out the +previously open end of the device. Before going any further, you must +wait for this glue plug to cool and solidify. I find this is a good time +to start working on my next device, and I tend to round-robin two or three +of them, so that I have no waiting while the glue cools. + +When the glue has cooled, turn the glue end down and carefully peel back +the scotch tape. At this end you want to repeat what you did before, +pouring out enough of the powder to accommodate a glue plug. + +When the second glue plug has cooled and solidified, you now have a +completed device!

If you want additional water-resistance, dip the device +into a thick enamel paint, or some of that liquid rubber/plastic tool +coating stuff. + +DETONATION + +The most dangerous parts of this device are the two glue plugs at each +end, as they can fly off with incredible force. Make sure you and others +are protected from this type of shrapnel. + +If you have water-proofed them with a thick enamel paint, you can even +toss these devices into swimming pools once the fuze has been lit. + +Good things to launch skyward with these devices include aluminum cans, +hubcaps, empty paint cans, old shoes, feisty cats, and anything else you +can fit one of these babies underneath.

Toll A was an exchange near St. Pauls which +routed calls between London and nearby non-London exchanges. The trick was to +dial an unallocated number, and then depress the reciever-rest for 1/2 second. +This flashing initiated the 'clear forward' signal, leaving the caller with an +open line into the Toll A exchange. He could thjen dial 018, which forwarded +him to the trunk exchange- at that time, the first long distance exchange in +Britain- and foll ow it with the code for the distant exchange to which he +would be connect ed at no extra charge. + + The signals needed to control the UK network today were published in the +"Institution of Post Office Engineers Journal" and reprinted in the Sunday +Times (15 Oct. 1972). + + The signalling system they use: signalling system No. 3 uses pairs of +frequencies selected from 6 tones separated by 120Hz. With that info, the +phreaks made "Bleepers" or as they are called here in the U.S. "Blue Box", but +they do utilize different MF tones then the U.S., thus, your U.S. blue box that +you smuggled into the UK will not work, unless you change the frequencies. + + In the early seventies, a simpler system based on different numbers of +pulses with the same frequency (2280Hz) was used. For more info on that, try to +get ahold of: Atkinson's "Telephony and Systems Technology". + + The following are timing and the frequencies for boxing in the UK and other +foreign countries. Special thanks to Peter McIvers for the phollowing inpho: + +British "bleeper" boxes have the vaery same layout as U.S. blue boxes. The +frequencies are different, though. They use two sets of frequencies, forward +and backward. Forward signals are sent out by the bleeper box; the backward +signals may be ignored (it's sort of like using full duplex). The frequencies +are as follows: + +U.S.: +US: 700 900 1100 1300 1500 1700 +Forward: 1380 1500 1620 1740 1860 1980 Hz +Backward: 1140 1020 900 780 660 540 Hz + +for example, change the 900 Hz potentiometers in your box to 1500 Hz. All +numbers 1-0 (10) are in the same order as in an American box. The ones after +this are thier codes for operator 11, operator 12, spare 13, spare 14, and 15. +One of these is KP, one (probably 15) is Star; it won't be too hard to figure +out. The signals should carry -11.5dBm +/- 1dB onto the line; the frequencies +should be within +/- 4Hz (as is the British equipment). Also, the 1VF system is +still in operation in parts of the U.K. This would encode all signals 1 to 16 as binary numbers; for instance, a five is 0101. There are six intervals per +digit, each 50ms long r a total of 300ms. First is a start pulse of 2280 for +50ms. Then, using the example of five (0101), there is a 50ms pause, a 50ms +pulse of 2280, a 50ms pause, and a 50ms pulse of 2280. Finally, there is a +50ms pause that signals the end of the digit. The frequency tolerance on the +2280 Hz is +/- 0.3%; it is sent at -6 +/- 1dBm. An idle line is signaled by +the presence of a 3825Hz tone for more than 650ms. This must be within 4Hz. + +France uses the same box codes as the US, with an additional 1900Hz +acknowledgement signal, at -8.7 +/- 1dBm per frequency. + +Spain uses a 2 out of 5 mf code (same frequencies as US), with a 1700 Hz +acknowledge signal. + +Other places using the 1VF system are: +Australia, 2280Hz +/-6Hz, 35ms/digit at -6dB. +Germany, France: same as Australia; also, some 1VF systems in the UK. +Switzerland: same as Australia, only it uses 3000Hz, not 2280. +Sweeden: same as above, but at 2400Hz. +Spain: some parts use 1VF with 2500Hz. + +There is one other major system: the 2VF system. In this system, each digit is +35ms long. The number is encoded in binary as with the 1VF system. Using the +example of five (0101), here's how the American 2VF system was sent: +2400 pulse, pause, 2040 pulse, pause, 2400 pulse, pause, 2040 pulse, pause. The +digits and pauses are all 35ms long, for a total of 280ms per digit. Other +countries are still using a similar high/low pair with the same timings. Some +parts of Italy use the 1VF system with 2040Hz; some use the 2VF system with +2040 and 2400 (same as original US) Hz. The Netherlands uses a 2VF system with +2400 and 2500 Hz pulses. With the 2VF system, all frequencies should be within +2Hz. + +Also, here are some specs for American phone equipment: +Dial Tone: 350+440Hz, -17.5 to -14.5 dBm/tone. +Off-Hook (ROH): 1400+2060+2450+2600(!) on/off 5 times per second +Busy: 480+620Hz; solow busy: 0.5 +/- 0.05 sec = 1 period +(about twice a second), at -28.5 to -22.5 dBm/tone. + +Ring: 440+480 Hz at -23.5 to -20.5 dBm/tone. +A ring is modulated at 20 +/- 3Hz, 2sec on, 4sec off. + +Call waiting: 440Hz, on 1 second. + +Recorder Connection: 1400Hz, beeps every 15minutes. +Multiparty line ring: sam% frequency and modulation as ring, but 1sec on, 2sec +off (twice as fast). + + Now, back to British Phreaking:In the early days of British phreaking, the +Cambridge University Titan Computer was used to record and circulate numbers +found by the exhaustive dialing of local networks. These number s were used to +create a chain of links from local exchange to local exchange across the +country, bypassing the trunk circuits. Because the internal routing codes in +the UK network are not the same as those dialed by the caller, the phreaks had +to discover them by 'probe and listen' techniques or more commonly known in the +U.S.--SCANNING. What they did was put in likely signals and listened to find +out if they succeeded. The results of scanning were circulated to other +phreaks. Discovering each other took time at first, but evenutally the phreaks +became organized. The "TAP" of Britain was called "Undercurrents" which enabled +British phreaks to share the info on new numbers, equipment etc. + + To understand what the British british phreaks did, think of the phone +netowrk in three layers of lines: Local, trunk, and international. In the UK, +Subcriber Trunk Dialing (STD), is the mechanism which takes a call from the +local lines and (legitimately) elevates it to a trunk or international +level. The UK phreaks figured that a call at trunk level can be routed through +any number of exchanges, provided that the right routing codes were found and +used correctly. They also had to discover how to get from local to trunk level +either without being charged (which they did with a bleeper box) or without +using (STD). Chaining has already been mentioned but it requires long strings +of digits and speech gets more and more faint as the chain grows, just like +it does when you stack trunks back and forth accross the U.S. The way the +security reps snagged the phreaks was to put a simple 'printermeter' or as we +call it: a pen register on the suspects line, which shows every digit dialed +from the subscribers line. + + The British prefer to get onto the trunks rather than chaining. One way was +to discover where local calls use the trunks between neighboring exchanges, +start a call and stay on the trunk instead of returning to the local level on +reaching the distant switch. This again required exhaustive dialing and made +more work for Titan; it also revealed 'fiddles', which were inserted by Post +Office Engineers. What fiddling means is that the engineers rewired the +exchanges for thier own benefit. The equipment is modified to give access to a +trunk with out being charged, an operation which is pretty easy in Step by Step +(SXS) electromechanical exchanges, which were installed in Britain even in the 1970s (NOTE: I know of a back door into the Canadian system on a 4A CO., so if +you are on SXS or a 4A, try scanning 3 digit exchanges, ie: dial 999,998,997 +etc. and listen for the beep-kerchink, if there are no 3 digit codes which +allow direct access to a tandem in your local exchange and bypasses the AMA so +you won't be billed, not have to blast 2600 every time you wish to box a call. + + A famous British 'fiddler' revealed in the early 1970s worked by dialing 173. +The caller then added the trunk code of 1 and the subscribers local number. At +that time, most engineering test services began with 17X, so the engineers +could hide thier fiddles in the nest of service wires. When security reps +started searching, the fiddles were concealed by tones signalling: 'number +unobtainalbe' or 'equipment engaged' which switched off after a delay. The +necessary relays are small and easily hidden. + + $There was another side to phreaking In the UK in the sixties. Before STD was +widespread, many 'ordinary' people were driven to occasional phreaking from +sheer frustration at the inefficient operator controlled trunk system. +This came to a head during a strike about 1961 when operators could not be +reached. Nothing complicated was needed. Many operators had been in the habit +of repeating the codes as they dialled the requested numbers so people soon +learnt the numbers they called frequently. The only 'trick' was to know which +exchanges could be dialled through to pass on the trunk number. Callers also +needed a pretty quiet place to do it, since timing relative to clicks was important + + The most famous trial of British phreaks was called the Old Baily trial. Which +started on 3 Oct. 1973. What they phreaks did was to dial a spare number at a +local call rate but involving a trunk to another exchange Then they send a +'clear forward' to thier local exchange, indicating to it that the call is +finished;but the distant exchange doesn't realize because the caller's phone is +still Off the hook. They now have an open line into the distant trunk exchange +and sends to it a 'seize' signal: '1' which puts him onto its outgoing lines. +Now, if they know the codes, the world is open to them. All other exchanges +trust his local exchange to handle the billing; they just interpret the tones +they hear. Mean while, the local exchange collects only for a local call. The +investigators discovered the phreaks holding a conference somewhere in England +surrounded by various phone equipment and bleeper boxes, also printouts listing +'secret' Post Office codes. (They probably got them from trashing?)

TOLL A WAS AN EXCHANGE NEAR ST. PAULS +WHICH ROUTED CALLS BETWEEN LONDON AND NEARBY NON-LONDON EXCHANGES. THE TRICK +WAS TO DIAL AN UNALLOCATED NUMBER, AND THEN DEPRESS THE RECEIVER-REST FOR 1/2 +SECOND. THIS FLASHING INITIATED THE 'CLEAR FORWARD' SIGNAL, LEAVING THE CALLER +WITH AN OPEN LINE INTO THE TOLL A EXCHANGE.THE COULD THEN DIAL 018, WHICH +FORWARDED HIM TO THE TRUNK EXCHANGE AT THAT TIME, THE FIRST LONG DISTANCE +EXCHANGE IN BRITAIN AND FOLLOW IT WITH THE CODE FOR THE DISTANT EXCHANGE TO +WHICH HE WOULD BE CONNECTED AT NO EXTRA CHARGE. + + THE SIGNALS NEEDED TO CONTROL THE UK NETWORK TODAY WERE PUBLISHED IN THE +"INSTITUTION OF POST OFFICE ENGINEERS JOURNAL" AND REPRINTED IN THE SUNDAY +TIMES (15 OCT. 1972). + + THE SIGNALLING SYSTEM THEY USE: SIGNALLING SYSTEM NO. 3 USES PAIRS OF +FREQUENCIES SELECTED FROM 6 TONES SEPARATED BY 120HZ. WITH THAT INFO, THE +PHREAKS MADE "BLEEPERS" OR AS THEY ARE CALLED HERE IN THE U.S. "BLUE BOX", BUT +THEY DO UTILIZE DIFFERENT MF TONES THEN THE U.S., THUS, YOUR U.S. BLUE BOX +THAT YOU SMUGGLED INTO THE UK WILL NOT WORK, UNLESS YOU CHANGE THE +FREQUENCIES. + + IN THE EARLY SEVENTIES, A SIMPLER SYSTEM BASED ON DIFFERENT NUMBERS OF PULSES +WITH THE SAME FREQUENCY (2280HZ) WAS USED. FOR MORE INFO ON THAT, TRY TO GET A +HOLD OF: ATKINSON'S "TELEPHONY AND SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY". + + IN THE EARLY DAYS OF BRITISH PHREAKING, THE CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY TITAN +COMPUTER WAS USED TO RECORD AND CIRCULATE NUMBERS FOUND BY THE EXHAUSTIVE +DIALING OF LOCAL NETWORKS. THESE NUMBERS WERE USED TO CREATE A CHAIN OF LINKS +FROM LOCAL EXCHANGE TO LOCAL EXCHANGE ACROSS THE COUNTRY, BYPASSING THE TRUNK +CIRCUITS. BECAUSE THE INTERNAL ROUTING CODES IN THE UK NETWORK ARE NOT THE +SAME AS THOSE DIALED BY THE CALLER, THE PHREAKS HAD TO DISCOVER THEM BY 'PROBE +AND LISTEN' TECHNIQUES OR MORE COMMONLY KNOWN IN THE U.S.-- SCANNING. WHAT +THEY DID WAS PUT IN LIKELY SIGNALS AND LISTENED TO FIND OUT IF THEY SUCCEEDED. +THE RESULTS OF SCANNING WERE CIRCULATED TO OTHER PHREAKS. DISCOVERING EACH +OTHER TOOK TIME AT FIRST, BUT EVENTUALLY THE PHREAKS BECAME ORGANIZED. THE +"TAP" OF BRITAIN WAS CALLED "UNDERCURRENTS" WHICH ENABLED BRITISH PHREAKS TO +SHARE THE INFO ON NEW NUMBERS, EQUIPMENT ETC. + + TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE BRITISH BRITISH PHREAKS DID, THINK OF THE PHONE +NETWORK IN THREE LAYERS OF LINES: LOCAL, TRUNK, AND INTERNATIONAL.#IN THE UK, +SUBSCRIBER TRUNK DIALING (STD), IS THE MECHANISM WHICH TAKES A CALL FROM THE +LOCAL LINES AND (LEGITIMATELY) ELEVATES IT TO A TRUNK OR INTERNATIONAL +LEVEL.#THE UK PHREAKS FIGURED THAT A CALL AT TRUNK LEVEL CAN BE ROUTED THROUGH +ANY NUMBER OF EXCHANGES, PROVIDED THAT THE RIGHT ROUTING CODES WERE FOUND AND +USED CORRECTLY. THEY ALSO HAD TO DISCOVER HOW TO GET FROM LOCAL TO TRUNK LEVEL +EITHER WITHOUT BEING CHARGED (WHICH THEY DID WITH A BLEEPER BOX) OR WITHOUT +USING (STD). CHAINING HAS ALREADY BEEN MENTIONED BUT IT REQUIRES LONG STRINGS +OF DIGITS AND SPEECH GETS MORE AND MORE FAINT AS THE CHAIN GROWS, JUST LIKE IT +DOES WHEN YOU STACK TRUNKS BACK AND FORTH ACROSS THE U.S.#THE WAY THE SECURITY +REPS SNAGGED THE PHREAKS WAS TO PUT A SIMPLE 'PRINTERMETER' OR AS WE CALL IT: +A PEN REGISTER ON THE SUSPECTS LINE, WHICH SHOWS EVERY DIGIT DIALED FROM THE +SUBSCRIBERS LINE. + + THE BRITISH PREFER TO GET ONTO THE TRUNKS RATHER THAN CHAINING. ONE WAY WAS +TO DISCOVER WHERE LOCAL CALLS USE THE TRUNKS BETWEEN NEIGHBORING EXCHANGES, +START A CALL AND STAY ON THE TRUNK INSTEAD OF RETURNING TO THE LOCAL LEVEL ON +REACHING THE DISTANT SWITCH. THIS AGAIN REQUIRED EXHAUSTIVE DIALING AND MADE +MORE WORK FOR TITAN; IT ALSO REVEALED 'FIDDLES', WHICH WERE INSERTED BY POST +OFFICE ENGINEERS. + + WHAT FIDDLING MEANS IS THAT THE ENGINEERS REWIRED THE EXCHANGES FOR THEIR OWN +BENEFIT. THE EQUIPMENT IS MODIFIED TO GIVE ACCESS TO A TRUNK WITH OUT BEING +CHARGED, AN OPERATION WHICH IS PRETTY EASY IN STEP BY STEP (SXS) +ELECTROMECHANICAL EXCHANGES, WHICH WERE INSTALLED IN BRITAIN EVEN IN THE 1970S +(NOTE: I KNOW OF A BACK DOOR INTO THE CANADIAN SYSTEM ON A 4A CO., SO IF YOU +ARE ON SXS OR A 4A, TRY SCANNING 3 DIGIT EXCHANGES, IE: DIAL 999,998,997 +ETC.#AND LISTEN FOR THE BEEP-KERCHINK, IF THERE ARE NO 3 DIGIT CODES WHICH +ALLOW DIRECT ACCESS TO A TANDEM IN YOUR LOCAL EXCHANGE AND BYPASSES THE AMA SO +YOU WON'T BE BILLED, NOT HAVE TO BLAST 2600 EVERY TIME YOU WISH TO BOX A CALL. + + A FAMOUS BRITISH 'FIDDLER' REVEALED IN THE EARLY 1970S WORKED BY DIALING 173. +THE CALLER THEN ADDED THE TRUNK CODE OF 1 AND THE SUBSCRIBERS LOCAL NUMBER. AT +THAT TIME, MOST ENGINEERING TEST SERVICES BEGAN WITH 17X, SO THE ENGINEERS +COULD HIDE THEIR FIDDLES IN THE NEST OF SERVICE WIRES. WHEN SECURITY REPS +STARTED SEARCHING, THE FIDDLES WERE CONCEALED BY TONES SIGNALLING: 'NUMBER +UNOBTAINALBE' OR 'EQUIPMENT ENGAGED' WHICH SWITCHED OFF AFTER A DELAY. THE +NECESSARY RELAYS ARE SMALL AND EASILY HIDDEN. + + THERE WAS ANOTHER SIDE TO PHREAKING IN THE UK IN THE SIXTIES. BEFORE STD WAS +WIDESPREAD, MANY 'ORDINARY' PEOPLE WERE DRIVEN TO. + +OCCASIONAL PHREAKING FROM SHEER FRUSTRATION AT THE INEFFICIENT OPERATOR +CONTROLLED TRUNK SYSTEM. THIS CAME TO A HEAD DURING A STRIKE ABOUT 1961 WHEN +OPERATORS COULD NOT BE REACHED. NOTHING COMPLICATED WAS NEEDED. MANY +OPERATORS HAD BEEN IN THE HABIT OF REPEATING THE CODES AS THEY DIALLED THE +REQUESTED NUMBERS SO PEOPLE SOON LEARNT THE NUMBERS THEY CALLED FREQUENTLY. +THE ONLY 'TRICK' WAS TO KNOW WHICH EXCHANGES COULD BE DIALLED THROUGH TO PASS +ON THE TRUNK NUMBER.CALLERS ALSO NEEDED A PRETTY QUIET PLACE TO DO IT, SINCE +TIMING RELATIVE TO CLICKS WAS IMPORTANT THE MOST FAMOUS TRIAL OF BRITISH +PHREAKS WAS CALLED THE OLD BAILY TRIAL.#WHICH STARTED ON 3 OCT. 1973.#WHAT +THEY PHREAKS DID WAS TO DIAL A SPARE NUMBER AT A LOCAL CALL RATE BUT INVOLVING +A TRUNK TO ANOTHER EXCHANGE THEN THEY SEND A 'CLEAR FORWARD' TO THEIR LOCAL +EXCHANGE, INDICATING TO IT THAT THE CALL IS FINISHED;BUT THE DISTANT EXCHANGE +DOESN'T REALIZE BECAUSE THE CALLER'S PHONE IS STILL OFF THE HOOK. THEY NOW +HAVE AN OPEN LINE INTO THE DISTANT TRUNK EXCHANGE AND SENDS TO IT A 'SEIZE' +SIGNAL: '1' WHICH PUTS HIM ONTO ITS OUTGOING LINES NOW, IF THEY KNOW THE +CODES, THE WORLD IS OPEN TO THEM. ALL OTHER EXCHANGES TRUST HIS LOCAL EXCHANGE +TO HANDLE THE BILLING; THEY JUST INTERPRET THE TONES THEY HEAR. MEAN WHILE, +THE LOCAL EXCHANGE COLLECTS ONLY FOR A LOCAL CALL. THE INVESTIGATORS +DISCOVERED THE PHREAKS HOLDING A CONFERENCE SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND SURROUNDED BY +VARIOUS PHONE EQUIPMENT AND BLEEPER BOXES, ALSO PRINTOUTS LISTING 'SECRET' POST +OFFICE CODES. (THEY PROBABLY GOT THEM FROM TRASHING?) THE JUDGE SAID: "SOME +TAKE TO HEROIN, SOME TAKE TO TELEPHONES" FOR THEM PHONE PHREAKING WAS NOT A +CRIME BUT A HOBBY TO BE SHARED WITH PHELLOW ENTHUSIASTS AND DISCUSSED WITH THE +POST OFFICE OPENLY OVER DINNER AND BY MAIL.

There are 3 major types of conference +bridges. These are: + + 1. AT&T Corum Bridges + 2. "Conference System" Bridges + 3.

They are very dumb and usually will just give it to you. In fact, you +may have to explain to the person that answers the phone just what a bridge is. +If you identify yourself as "formerly of ATTIS Headquarters", that may help, +because there used to be 2 parts of AT&T, ATTIS (AT&T Information Systems), and +ATTCOM (AT&T Communications), but they merged. + +As for "You've Dialed The Conference System" bridges, they are manufactured by a +company called WesTel in Oswego, Illinois.

The reason for this being that a magnetic strip would be +read only. + +So how do they work then? + +Well, examine a phonecard - preferably a used one if you are going to +scratch it or dissect it. If you look on the printed surface (the green +side - which is the front) you will find two lines which form a thick band. +Underneath this area is a "track" which holds the information about the +number of units used up and how many are left. A used phonecard will have +some tiny bars marked on the track near one end. + +On the reverse side of the phonecard (the black side) you can see a shiny +black strip in contrast to the matt black which has text on it (on older +phone cards the whole of this side is shiny black). Anyway, this shiny strip +is "opposite" the band on the front and acts as a "window" to the information +on the track - for the simple reason that it is no ordinary shiny black +plastic. This special black plastic is not like all the others (which do +not let normal light or infra-red light pass through) but is transparent to +infra-red light. When a phonecard is in the machine, an infra-red beam is +shone through the back of the card and the reflected beam is checked to +detect the time units remaining. + +Now to explain the track itself which is protected by a layer of paint that +also serves as the base for printing text and figures visible to the user. +On a 20-unit card, the track has 20 tiny rectangular areas (called +diffraction gratings - you might have come across them if you took physics) +which affect the light reflected by the cards. As the time units are used up, +the ares are destroyed by an eraser head. The design of the assembly enables +the progress of the erasing operation to be checked. in fact, the 20 +rectangular areas touch each other and form a continuous strip on the card. + +The area which is read is wider than the track. This makes it possible to +detect a reduction in track width. + +Each unit is separated from its neighbour by a distance of 0.6mm. the erase +area is greater than the width of the track so that the unit is always +completely erased. The dimensions of both the card and the time units +suggest 140 as the theoretical maximum number of units possible. + +The read-and-erase mechanism consists of a moving carriage on which are +fixed the eraser head and the optical components for reading. the carriage +is driven by a stepping device which moves along the track to determine +whether each unit is god or erased. when a unit has been consumed by the +cardphone, the area is erased in its turn and the carriage moves on one step. + +OK, for those that weant to know, here is an ascii graphical representation +of the read and erase geometry : + + Time units + --------------------------------------------------------- + Track | | | | | | | | | 1.2mm + --------------------------------------------------------- + <0.6mm> + + Area read Area erased + *** ********* + ---------------***------------------*********------------ + | | | *** | | | *|*****|* | | 1.6mm + ---------------***------------------*********------------ + *** ********* + 0.4mm 0.7mm + +Well I hope you all understood that!

Here we show achtergronden en geen woord over +only the basic technique on which it de rechtszaak waarin dit alles een +all hinged. rol speelde. Hier is slechts de + rauwe techniek waar het allemaal + om draait. + + + Hoogfrequente wisselstromen + +High-frequency alternating current + + Als je een T-65 telefoon van de PTT zou openschroeven en je zou de + printbanen volgen, dan zou je opvallen dat het haakcontact de + microfoon afsluit op het moment dat de horn op de haak wordt gelegt. + +If you open a standard modern telephone and follow the printed +circuit board inside it, you'll discover that the hookswitch turns +off the microphone as soon as the receiver is placed on hook. + + Het is dus niet mogelijk om de microfoon te gebruiken zolang de + hoorn op de haak ligt, er kan immers geen stroom doorheen lopen. + +So it's not possible to use the microphone as long as the receiver +is on the cradle - there can never be any current flowing through it. + + Voor gelijkspanning is dat waar, mar voor een hoogfrequente + wisselspanning werk het haakkontact als condensator. + +Well, that's true for direct current, but for alternating current the +hookswitch works as a capacitor. + + Een condensator is immers in essentie niet anders dan twee dict bij + elkaar gemonteerde plaatjes. + +A capacitor is basically nothing more than two flat surfaces in close +proximity. + + De centrale zet een gelijkspanning op de lijn, en als de hoorn + wordt opgepakt zal er een stroom door de telefoon gaan lopen. + +The CO puts a direct current on the line, and when you pick up +the receiver, current can flow through the telephone. + + Deze stroom wordt gemoduleerd met het spraaksignal. + +This current is modulated by the speech signal. + + Door in plaats van deze gelijkspanning een wisselspanning op de lijn + te zetten kunnel we stroom door het toestel laten lopen zonder dat + de hoorn opgetild hoeft te worden. + +But if instead of a direct current, we put an alternatic current +on the line, we can let current flow through the set even though +the receiver has not been picked up. + + Deze wisselstrom wordt dan, net als de gelijkstroom wanneer de + hoorn is opgetild, gemoduleerd door de microfoon in de hoorn. + +So this alternating current, unlike the direct current when the phone +is hung up, is modulated by the microphone in the handset. + + Op de volgende pagina's een bouwsel dat de basisprincipes + demonstreert. Verwacht hiervan geen hi-fi. + +On the following pages is a project that demonstrates the +basic principles. Don't expect this to be hi-fi... + + + +Bij het schema. + +The Diagram. + + + De 4046 wordt gebruikt als goedkope VCO (Voltage Controlled + Oscillator). + +The 4046 is used as a cheap VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator). + + Met de 33k weerstand op pin 11 werkt hij tussen de 30 tot 350KHz. + +With the 33K (pulldown?) on pin 11, it works between 30 and 350 KHz. + + Met de potentiometer kun je de frequentie instellen. + +You can set the frequency with the potentiometer. + + De uitgang van de 4046 kan niet genoeg stroom leveren + om de spoel to laten resoneren. + +The output of the 4046 isn't powerful enough to make the coil resonate. + + De transistors versterken de stroom zo'n honderd maal. + +The transistors amplify the current about a hundredfold. + + De spoel is instelbar tussen de 1 en 50 miliHenry. + +The coil is adjustable between 1 and 50 MilliHenries + + Deze spoel vormt samen met de capaciteit van de telefoon een + afstemkring. + +Together with the capacity of the telephone, the coil forms an +oscillator. (???) + + We brengen de telefoon in resonantie om een voltage op de lijn te + krijgen dat hoog genoeg is om de microfoon te activieren. + +We bring the telephone into resonance so that the voltage on the +line is high enough to activate the microphone. + + Alleen op het punt waarop de telefoon resoneert verwijnt alle ruis + en wordt het geluid in de kamer hoorbar. + +Only at the point where the telephone resonates does all the noise disappear +and the sound in the room become intelligible. + + De spoel wind je liefst om een kern waarbij al gegevens + zitten die vertellen windingen je nodig hebt om tot ge + gegeven inducties te komen. + +You wind the coil yourself round a core which is already given +the specified windings you need to get the necessary inductances. +(??? - very dubious bit of translation here...) + + Tussen de spoel en de telefoon zit een diode die het signal oppikt. + Het simpele detectorschakelingtje scheidt de audio van het + hoogfrequente signaal. + +Between the telephone and the coil sits a diode which picks up +the signal. The simple detector circuit cuts out the audio from +the high frequency signal. + + De audio woordt tenslotte gefilterd en naar buiten gebracht, alwaar + het verder wordt versterkt en hoorbar wordt gemaakt. + +The audio is thus filtered and taken out, although it can be further +amplified and made intelligible. + + Billsf. + +(End of text of article) +============================================================= + +I faxed the diagram to myself and turned it into postscript - it came +out not too badly - you _can_ make out all the components if you +look closely and guess intelligently.

They say some action on the local +cases, possibly including indictments or arrests, is expected in the next +month. + The computer crime crackdown - the largest ever launched by the U.S. +government - has resulted in the temporary disbanding of the Legion of Doom, a +notorious national group of young computer hobbyists with at least two Austin +members. + State and federal investigators say the 6-year-old group, which once +boasted more than 150 members in nearly every U.S. state, has been connected +to a string of computer crimes in Texas, Georgia, Arizona, Illinois, +California and New Jersey. + Officials say group members have electronically stolen money and long- +distance telephone access numbers, changed credit reports, planted data- +destroying computer viruses in government networks, attempted to tamper with +hospital patient records, and distributed information that, if used, could +have debilitated the nation's 911 emergency response network. + So far, only four Legion of Doom members have been indicted for the +crimes, and none has gone to trial. + However, an investigation team coordinated by Assistant U.S. Attorney +William Cook in Chicago and including the secret Service, the U.S. Department +of Justice, the FBI and a handful of state attorney generals, has in the past +six months raided the homes and businesses of about a dozen suspected legion +members across the country. + In Austin, Secret Service agents, local police and officers from the +University of Texas Police Department seized computer equipment and documents +from three homes as part of the probe. + One local business, a role-playing game-publishing company called Steve +Jackson Games, also was raided in the March crackdown, but officials say the +firm is not a primary target of the hacker investigation. The firm is +believed to have been raided because investigators wanted to examine equipment +used by an employee. + The search warrants used in the raids remain sealed from public view, and +Secret Service and UTPD officials declined to comment on the case. + Law enforcement sources say one of the targets of the Austin investigation +is a juvenile who is not believed to be a member of the hacker group. + The two other Austinites under investigation are legion members, +authorities say, and have been linked to the 911 probe centered in Chicago. + According to law enforcement sources, the two men helped circulate +information about the 911 system's software through a national bulletin board +network that hackers could call by using a telephone, a computer and a modem. + In addition, details about ways to tamper with the emergency system were +published in Phrack, a legion newsletter. + While no one in Austin has been indicted or arrested, officials said they +expect some action on the local cases in the next month. + And state and federal authorities involved in the national investigation +say they are preparing dozens of additional indictments aimed at the entire +membership roster of the Legion of Doom. + "It doesn't matter whether you commit a burglary by telephone or by +breaking into a building," said Gail Thackeray, an assistant attorney general +in Arizona, one of a handful of state investigators working solely on computer +crime. + "Did they expect that the rest of us would sit by and let every idiot kid +in America break into our 911 system?" she said. "I do not respect the right +of hackers to learn what they want to learn at the expense of the rest of us." + Thackeray, who helped investigate a hacker's attempt to break into the +computer system at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, said the +recent legion crackdown is a result of improved coordination among law +enforcement agencies with jurisdiction over computer crime. In addition, she +said, the effort has been boosted by a new breed of investigators with +computing expertise. + Because of the potential for widespread damage to both government and +business computer systems, officials say the hacker probe has caught the eye +of the Justice Department, which is pushing U.S. attorneys throughout the +country to beef up their computer crime-fighting capacity. + "There is a push on Capitol Hill to shore up our activity in this area," +said an assistant U.S. attorney who asked not to be named. "I think this is +the beginning of a boom." + Said Thackeray: "There's more computer crime going on out there than any +one agency can handle. We're totally flooded." + For members of the Legion of Doom, the unwanted law enforcement attention +is nothing new. + Formed in 1984 and named for a gang that took on Superman and other heroes +in the television cartoon Superfriends, the group has survived two other waves +of criminal investigations. + The first, in 1985, resulted in the arrest and conviction of five of the +legion's founders for credit card fraud and theft by wire. + After a brief resurgence, group members again were arrested en masse in +1987, only to revive again in 1988. + But according to investigators familiar with the group, pressure form the +recent legion crackdown is the most intense to date. Several of the +investigators said the legion has shut down, at least for now. + A history of the group written by one of its founders and obtained by the +Austin American-Statesman seems to bear out investigators' suspicions. + The 10-page document recounts significant developments in the group's +history, from its founding in 1984 (an event "that would ultimately change the +face of the computer underground forever," the brochure states), to its +current, besieged status. + The pamphlet acknowledges that "there is no indication that points to a +resurgence in the future" and ends with the words "Legion of Doom (1984- +1990)." + The brochure also takes potshots at federal investigators and the media, +often accused by legion members of exaggerating their crimes and +sensationalizing the group. + "The Legion of Doom has been called everything from 'organized crime' to a +'communist threat to national security' to an 'international conspiracy of +computer terrorists bent on destroying the nation's 911 service,'" the +brochure states. + "Nothing comes closer to the actual truth than 'bored adolescents with too +much spare time.'" + Finally, the legion history includes an "alumni" list that contains the +code names of 38 current and former members. + According to the legion's own accounting, 14 of the 38 people on the list +have either been convicted of computer crimes or are under investigation. + Officials familiar with the group say the legion's characterization of +itself as a clique of bored whiz kids is inaccurate. Instead, they portray +group members as sophisticated and organized malcontents who do not accept +conventional concepts of respect and trust. + "These are not just wacky kids," Thackeray said. "They have absolute +contempt for the rest of us." + "They are constantly in a high-level skill kind of game, part of a thrill. +They've totally lost touch with reality." + William Murray, a systems security fellow for the Ernst & Young accounting +firm, said even though hackers take advantage of the tremendous power of +personal computers, they still view their crimes as an electronic game of cat +and mouse. + "This whole sense of excitement and joy is not tempered," Murray said. +"Nobody has told them that they have a responsibility for polite behavior." + Some states, including Arizona, are developing treatment programs for +hackers. Patterned after Alcoholics Anonymous and drug-treatment centers, the +programs are aimed at rehabilitating hackers who have grown dependent on their +craft. + "It is absolutely addictive behavior," Thackeray said.

I have written this file to +hopefully clear up all the misconceptions about Busy Line Verification and +Emergency Interrupts. + + BLV is 'Busy Line Verification'. That is, discovering if a line is +busy/not busy. BLV is the telco term, but it has been called Verification, +Autoverify, Emergency Interrupt, break into a line, REMOB, and others. BLV is +the result of a TSPS that uses a Stored Program Control System (SPCS) called +the Generic 9 program. Before the rise of TSPS in 1969, cordboard operators +did the verification process. The introduction of BLV via TSPS brought about +more operator security features. The Generic 9 SPCS and hardware was first +installed in Tucson, Daytona, and Columbus, Ohio, in 1979. By now virtually +every TSPS has the Generic 9 program. + + A TSPS operator does the actual verification. If caller A was in the 815 +Area code, and caller B was in the 314 Area code, A would dial 0 to reach a +TSPS in his area code, 815. Now, A, the customer, would tell the operator he +wished an emergency interrupt on B's number, 314+555+1000. The 815 TSPS op who +answered A's call cannot do the interrupt outside of her own area code, (her +service area), so she would call an Inward Operator for B's area code, 314, +with KP+314+TTC+121+ST, where the TTC is a Terminating Toll Center code that +is needed in some areas. Now a TSPS operator in the 314 area code would be +reached by the 815 TSPS, but a lamp on the particular operators console would +tell her she was being reached with an Inward routing. The 815 operator then +would say something along the lines of she needed an interrupt on +314+555+1000, and her customers name was J. Smith. Now, the 314 Inward (which +is really a TSPS) would dial B's number, in a normal Operator Direct Distance +Dialing (ODDD) fashion. If the line wasn't busy, then the 314 Inward would +report this to the 815 TSPS, who would then report to the customer (caller A) +that 314+555+1000 wasn't busy and he could call as normal. However if the +given number (in this case, 314+555+1000) was busy, then several things would +happen and the process of BLV and EMER INT would begin. The 314 Inward would +seize a Verification trunk (or BLV trunk) to the toll office that served the +local loop of the requested number (555+1000). Now another feature of TSPS +checks the line asked to be verified against a list of lines that can't be +verified, such as radio stations, police, etc. If the line number a customer +gives is on the list then the verification cannot be done, and the operator +tells the customer. + + Now the TSPS operator would press her VFY (VeriFY) key on the TSPS +console, and the equipment would outpulse (onto the BLV trunk) +KP+0XX+PRE+SUFF+ST. The KP being Key Pulse, the 0XX being a 'screening code' +that protects against trunk mismatching, the PRE being the Prefix of the +requested number (555), the SUFF being the Suffix of the requested number +(1000), and the ST being STart, which tells the Verification trunk that no +more MF digits follow. The screening code is there to keep a normal Toll +Network (used in regular calls) trunk from accidentally connecting to a +Verification trunk. If this screening code wasn't present, and a trunk +mismatch did occur, someone calling a friend in the same area code might just +happen to be connected to his friends line, and find himself in the middle of +a conversation. But, the Verification trunk is waiting for an 0XX sequence, +and a normal call on a Toll Network trunk does not outpulse an 0XX first. +(Example: You live at 914+555+1000, and wish to call 914+666+0000. The routing +for your call would be KP+666+0000+ST. The BLV trunk cannot accept a 666 in +place of the proper 0XX routing, and thus would give the caller a re-order +tone.) Also, note that the outpulsing sequence onto a BLV trunk can't contain +an Area Code. This is the reason why if a customer requests an interrupt +outside of his own NPA, the TSPS operator must call an Inward for the area +code that can outpulse onto the proper trunk. If a TSPS in 815 tried to do an +interrupt on a trunk in 314, it would not work. This proves that there is a +BLV network for each NPA, and if you somehow gain access to a BLV trunk, you +could only use it for interrupts within the NPA that the trunk was located in. + + BLV trunks 'hunt' to find the right trunks to the right Class 5 End Office +that serves the given local loop. The same outpulsing sequence is passed along +BLV trunks until the BLV trunk serving the Toll Office that serves the given +End Office is found. + + There is usually one BLV trunk per 10,000 lines (exchange). So, if a Toll +Office served ten End Offices, that Toll Office would have 100,000 local loops +that it served, and have 10 BLV trunks running from TSPS to that Toll Office. + + Now, the operator (in using the VFY key) can hear what is going on on the +line, (modem, voice, or a permanent signal, indicating a phone off-hook) and +take appropriate action. She can't hear what's taking place on the line +clearly, however. A speech scrambler circuit within the operator console +generates a scramble on the line while the operator is doing a VFY. The +scramble is there to keep operators from listening in on people, but it is not +enough to keep an op from being able to tell if a conversation, modem signal, +or a dial tone is present upon the line. If the operator hears a permanent +signal, she can only report back to the customer that either the phone is +off-hook, or there is a problem with the line, and she can't do anything about +it. In the case of caller A and B, the 314 Inward would tell the 815 TSPS, and +the 815 TSPS would tell the customer. If there is a conversation on line, the +operator presses a key marked EMER INT (EMERgency INTerrupt) on her console. +This causes the operator to be added into a three way port on the busy line. +The EMER INT key also deactivates the speech scrambling circuit and activates +an alerting tone that can be heard by the called customer. The alerting tone +that is played every 10 seconds tells the customer that an operator is on the +line. Some areas don't have the alerting tone, however. Now, the operator +would say 'Is this XXX-XXXX?' where XXX-XXXX would be the Prefix and Suffix of +the number that the original customer requesting the interrupt gave the +original TSPS. The customer would confirm the operator had the correct line. +Then the Op says 'You have a call waiting from (customers name). Will you +accept?'. This gives the customer the chance to say 'Yes' and let the calling +party be connected to him, while the previous party would be disconnected. If +the customer says 'No', then the operator tells the person who requested the +interrupt that the called customer would not accept. The operator can just +inform the busy party that someone needed to contact him or her, and have the +people hang up, and then notify the requesting customer that the line is free. +Or, the operator can connect the calling party and the interrupted party +without loss of connection. + + The charges for this service (in my area at least) run 1.00 for asking the +operator to interrupt a phone call so you can get through. There is an .80 +charge if you ask the operator to verify whether the phone you're trying to +reach is busy because of a service problem or because of a conversation. If +the line has no conversation on it, there will be no charge for the +verification. + + When the customer who initiated the emergency interrupt gets his telephone +bill, the charges for the interrupt call will look similar to this: + +12-1 530P INTERRUPT CL 314 555 1000 OD 1 1.00 + + The 12-1 is December first of the current year; 530P is the time the call +was made to the operator requesting an interrupt; INTERRUPT CL is what took +place, that is, an interrupt call; 314 555 1000 is the number requested; OD +stands for Operator Dialed; the 1 is the length of the call (in minutes); and +the 1.00 is the charge for the interrupt. The format may be different, +depending upon your area and telephone company. + + One thing I forgot to mention about TSPS operators. In places where a +Remote Trunking Arrangement is being used, and even places where they aren't +in use, you may be connected to a TSPS operator in a totally different area +code. In such a case, the TSPS that you reach in a Foreign NPA will call up an +inward operator for your Home NPA, if the line you requested an EMER INT on +was in your HNPA. If the line you requested EMER INT on was in the same NPA of +the TSPS that you had reached, then no inward operator would be needed and the +answering operator could do the entire process. + + Verification trunks seem to be only accessible by a TSPS/Inward operator. +However, there have been claims to people doing Emergency Interrupts with blue +boxes. I don't know how to accomplish an EMER INT without the assistance of an +operator, and I don't know if it can be done. If you really wish to +participate in a BLV/EMER INT, call up an Inward Operator and play the part of +a TSPS operator who needs an EMER INT upon a pre-designated busy line. Billing +is handled at the local TSPS so you will not have to supply a billing number +if you decide to do this. + + + If you find any errors in this file, please try to let me know about it, +and if you find out any other information that I haven't included, feel free +to comment. + diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/busyring.phk b/textfiles.com/phreak/busyring.phk new file mode 100644 index 00000000..0a15257e --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/busyring.phk @@ -0,0 +1,64 @@ +/----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ +\ The Ring-Busy Device / +/ \ +\ Written By M0rtaSkuld / +/ Dedicated to an old friend \ +\ whom I owe this knowledge to: / / +/__________________________________________________The Emporer!______________\ + ^^^^^^^^^^^ +Preface +------- + A ring-busy device is exactly what it states, when connected to a phone line +it will cause a busy signal anytime a call is made to that particular line. +The only thing odd that the calling party will recognize is one ring before +the busy signal is actually heard, but no worry because the first ring will +not be heard by the person with the device connected to their line.

RCV IN | | ++------------------------------| | + +-----+ + +The inputs to each amplifier are the RCV IN signals from the two sets of leads +not associated with that amplifier. Each RCV IN signal is the output of one of +three CODEC's on PWBA 814434-026. The output of each amplifier is an XMT OUT +signal, which is the input to one of three CODEC's. With this arrangement, two +of the sets of busy verification circuit leads are switched into the two +conversation paths that provide two-way communication between the two ports to +be monitored. Signals on both paths then are fed into the amplifier associated +with the third set of leads. This third set of leads is switched to the port +that serves the monitoring operator. Thus, the XMT OUT lead from the third set +carries voice signals from both monitored ports for transfer to the operator. +The RCV IN lead of the third set carries the operators message to the parties +on both monitored ports. + +[3]: Each of the operational amplifiers has unity gain. A coupling capacitor +and voltage divider on the RCV IN analog input provides the proper frequency +response and signal level for the amplifier inputs. + +[4]: The busy verification circuit is an optional and nonredundant portion of +line and/or line and service group cells, using three port positions per cell. +A component failure on this circuit never affects service to more then three +ports and, therefore, is considered to be a minor failure. A component failure +can cause loss of busy verification monitoring and/or loss of voice +transmission through up to three ports. + +Thats all for this time, stay tuned for Part 3!!!

I am going to call it BUTLER#1 +because there will be updates and additions to follow. + + +The Computer Underground consists of mainly two forms of media, printed +and electronic, both will be discussed in this file. I use the word underground +because the contents of this file are not the types of titles you would run +across at your local bookstore or newsstand. The kind of information that +makes up underground publications is mainly technical in nature, but, +definitley not limited to that. One can also find tidbits about off-the-wall +polical views, drugs, weapons, and other topics that are not normally in +the mainstream of our society. + + +The Computer Underground... + +Com-put-er Un-der-ground \kem-`pyt-er\ \`en-der-`grand\ (1970's) + + A group organized in secrecy, hidden behind aliases, to promote the free + exchange of information regarding anything and everything including but + not limited to: Computers, Telephones, Radios, Chemicals, and ideas. + + +The CU is made up of men and women all over the globe and of all ages. Most +of those involved in the CU consider it a hobby, but, there are those that +are involved strictly for illegal purposes, i.e. Selling Pirated Software. I, +like most people involved enjoy the information that can be obtained through +all of the different avenues in the CU, i.e. Bulletin Boards, Underground +Periodicals, Network Digests, and General Discussions between members. + +The most common way members communicate is through Bulletin Boards. If you are +reading this you know what a BBS is because this will not be released in +printed form. There are thousands of BBSes around the world run by people for +many reasons including: legitmate businesses, Software Technical Support, Hobby +related, Pirated Software, Message Centers, etc...Some of the more common ones +are RIPCO, Face-2-Face, Exec-PC, The Well, etc... + +Currently there are many regular electronic magazines that are being published +and there have been many that have discontinued for one reason or another. +Some current ones include: PHRACK, NIA, PHANTASY, CUD, etc...Some discontinued +ones include: PIRATE, PHUN, NARC, etc... + +There is a current debate about wether or not an electronic media has the same +constitutional rights as the printed one. That is for our congressmen to +decide, but, you could voice your opinion. I personally can't see the differ- +-ence. Now, don't get me wrong I do not support the publishing of Long- +distance codes or anything of that nature, but, I do support the exchange of +other information, i.e. how to unprotect a game, how to make a smoke bomb, etc... + +There are also "Underground Publications" like TAP, 2600, Cybertech, etc. +These magazines are published in hard copy and deal with every considerable +topic regarding the CU. Most of these magazines publish completely legal +information that is obtained from public sources and is available to anyone +and everyone. + +I doubt that any of the following sources of information would mind if you use +an alias to order any of their material, so I would reccommend that you do +just in case! You might even want to get yourself a private mail box for all +of this "underground" information. I would also advise you to use a money +order when purchasing anything also. They usually cost an extra 50 cents at the +post office. And don't worry about using money orders with these people because +I have personally made purchases from many of them without trouble. + +The following information is provided to enable you to become more familiar +with the CU and unusual information in general.

THIS IS GOOD FOR +CALLS UP TO 1/2 HOUR, AFTER 1/2 HOUR +THE FONE CO. GETS SUSPICIOUS, AND THEN +YOU CAN GUESS WHAT HAPPENS. + +THE WAY IT WORKS: + + WHAT THIS LITTLE BEAUTY DOES IS +KEEP THE LINE VOLTAGE FROM DROPPING TO +10V WHEN YOU ANSWER YOUR FONE. THE +LINE IS INSTED KEPT AT 36V AND IT WILL +MAKE THE FONE THINK THAT IT IS STILL +RINGING WHILE YOUR TALKING. THE REASON +FOR THE 1/2 HOUR TIME LIMIT IS THAT THE +FONE CO. THINKS THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG +AFTER 1/2 AN HOUR OF RINGING. + + ALL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE RADIO +SHACK.

(HMM...MA BELL + +MUST HAVE THOUGHT THAT WAY ONCE CHUCKLE...) + + + + THE BASIC WORKINGS OF THE GATED + +SYNC ARE AS FOLLOWS: + + FIRST, I MUST DEFINE A SYNC PULSE. IT + +IS A PART OF THE TV'S VIDEO SIGNAL + +WHICH LINES THE SIGNAL UP, CAUSING + +IT TO COME OUT ALL NICE AND NEAT SO YOU + +SEE A GOOD PICTURE. WHAT GATED SYNC DOES + +IS TO REMOVE THAT PORTION OF THE SIGNAL, + +AND TRANSMIT IT ON A SUBCARRIER WITH THE + +REST OF THE SIGNAL. THIS RESULTS IN THE + +SCRAMBLED MESS YOU SEE WHEN YOU DESPER- + +ATE ONES TRY TO WATCH THE PLAYBOY CHAN- + +NEL AND YOUR PARENTS HAVEN'T SUBSCRIBED + +TO IT. + + NOW, KEEP IN MIND, THE SYNC PORTION + +OF THE SIGNAL IS NOT DISTORTED AT ALL, + +BUT MERELY TRANSMITTED ON A SLIGHTLY + +DIVERTED FREQUENCY. THUS, IT REMAINS IN + +TIME WITH THE REST OF THE SIGNAL, AND + +NEEDS ONLY TO BE RECOMBINED WITH THE + +REST OF THE SIGNAL. + + THIS IS MUCH SIMPLER THAN IT MAY + +SEEM. ALL THE CIRCUIT MUST BE ABLE TO + +DO IS TO RECIEVE THE SYNC PULSES, AND + +RETRANSMIT THEM ON THE ORIGINAL FREQU- + +ENCY, WHERE THEY WILL BE LINED UP PRO- + +PERLY.

ON AN APPLE II+. + + + +*************************************** + + + + + +TODAY WE WILL DISCUSS OVER THE AIR PAY + +TV SCRAMBLING. THIS IS USED WIDELY IN + +MANY AREAS WITHOUT CABLE, AND ALL OF + +THE SYSTEMS IN USE USE ESSENTIALY THE + +SAME SYSTEM, THAT OF SSAVI SCRAMBLING. + + + + + +DISCUSSION OF SSAVI SCRAMBLING: + + SSAVI STANDS FOR SUPPRESSED SYNC, + +AUDIO VIDEO INVERSION. THIS METHOD OF + +ENCODING VIDEO TRANSMISSIONS WAS DEVEL- + +OPED BY THE ZENITH RADIO CORPORATION, + +WHO MANUFACTURES THE VAST MAJORITY OF + +LEGAL UNSCRAMBLERS USED TODAY WITH THIS + +METHOD. + + SUFFICE TO SAY, SSAVI IS THE ANTI + +CHRIST OF CABLE PIRATES. THE SYSTEM IN- + +VOLVES SEVERAL LESS SOPHISTICATED METH- + +ODS COMBINED TO PRODUCE A SEVERELY SCR- + +AMBLED SIGNAL WHICH IS VERY DIFFICULT TO + +DECODE WITHOUT THE PROPER HARDWARE. + +(IE, A REAL BOX.) IT IS ILLUSTRAED BY + +THE NAME: + +SUPPRESSED SYNC: THIS IS THE METHOD DIS- + +CUSSED IN PART 1 OF THIS SERIES, ONLY + +WORSE. THE SYNC PORTION OF THE SIGNAL + +IS NOT TRANSMITTED ON AN AUDIO SUBCAR- + +RIER, BUT IN LINES 1-14 OF THE PICTURE + +INFORMATION WHICH ARE NOT SEEN ON THE + +SCREEN. HENCE, THE BOX MUST BE ABLE TO + +ISOLATE THE FIRST 14 LINES OF VIDEO + +AND EXTRACT THE INFORMATION FROM THEM. + + AUDIO: THE AUDIO IS TRANSMITTED ON + +A SUBCARRIER IN A SIMILAR FASHION AS + +THE SYNC PULSES IN PART 1. IF YOU + +WILL REMEMBER, THE AUDIO WAS NORMAL IN + +THE SUPPRESSED SYNC METHOD. + + VIDEO INVERSION: THE VIDEO SIGNAL + +IS RANDOMLY INVERTED AT THE SCRAMBLING + +STAGE, RESULTING IN A NEGATIVE PICTURE + +WHEN THE SIGNAL IS INVERTED. (YES, LIKE + +A CAMERA NEGATIVE.) THE INDICATOR FOR + + + +WETHER THE UPCOMING FRAME OF VIDEO + +WILL BE INVERTED IS ALSO SENT IN THE + +FIRST 14 LINES OF VIDEO, ALLOWING THE + +BOX TO BEGIN INVERTING THE SIGNAL BEF- + +ORE YOU SEE IT. + + + + ALL OF THESE LITTLE BITS OF EVILNESS + +EXIST INDEPENDENTLY OF EACH OTHER. THE + +SIGNAL MAY HAVE ALL, NONE, OR ANY COMB- + +INATION OF THESE THINGS. BECAUSE OF + +THIS, THE BOX MUST BE VERY INTELLIGENT. + +ALSO, BECAUSE THE BOX IS USED SO WIDELY, + +IT MUST HAVE A TUNER, ALLOWING YOUR + +LOCAL TRANSMITTER TO SELECT WHAT CHANNEL + +THEY ARE USING BY TUNING THE BOX BEFORE + +THEY GIVE IT TO YOU. ALL THIS MAKES FOR + +A REAL FUN TIME WHEN YOU GO TO UNSCR- + +AMBLE YOUR SIGNAL. + + + +BOX THOERY: + + THE SUPPRESSED SYNC SIGNAL IS TRANS- + +VED FROM THE FIRST FEW LINES OF VIDEO + +MITTED NORMALLY IN THE FIRST FEW LINES + +OF VIDEO, WHICH, INCIDENTALLY, ARE + +TRANSMITTED NORMALLY. THE BOX 'SEES' + +THESE 14 NORMAL SYNC PULSES, AND CALI- + +BRATES ITSELF TO REPRODUCE THESE SYNC + +PULSES FOR THE REST OF THE FRAME OF + +VIDEO. IT THEN INSERTS THESE PULSES + +WHERE THEY ARE NEEDED IN THE SIGNAL TO + +PRODUCE A NORMAL PICTURE. THIS RECALI- + +BRATION EVERY FRAME IS NECESSARY, + +THOUGH. SYNC PULSES OCCUR OVER 500 + +TIMES EVERY SECOND, AND IF THE CLOCK + +WERE NOT CONSTANTLY REVAMPED, IT COULD + +GET OUT OF SYNC (OH GOD) WITH ITSELF. + + AUDIO: THE AUDIO IS TRANSMITTED ON + +A SUBCARRIER DEVIATED ABOUT 15KHZ. ALL + +THE BOX DOES TO THE AUDIO IS RETRANS- + +MIT THE AUDIO ON THE PROPER FREQUENCY. + + VIDEO INVERSION: THE VIDEO SIGNAL IS + +RANDOMLY INVERTED, BUT THE MODE (INVER- + +TED VS. NORMAL) CAN ONLY BE SWITCHED + +BETWEEN FRAMES, NOT BETWEEN FIELDS, + +MAKING THE JOB OF DETECTION AND REIN- + +VERSION SLIGHTLY EASIER. THE BOX LOOKS + +AT A PORTION OF LINE (2, I THINK) AND + +BASED ON THE LOGIC LEVEL AT A CERTIAN + +POINT IN THIS LINE OF VIDEO, THE BOX + +REROUTES THE SIGNAL THROUGH AN OPERA- + +TIONAL AMPLIFIER'S INVERTING INPUT. AS + +A RESULT, A SIGNAL RECIEVED INVERTED + +IS NOW CORRECT, AND A FRAME OF VIDEO + +'SEEN' AS NORMAL IS NOT ROUTED THROUGH + +THE INVERTER, AND SENT STRAIGHT TO THE + +RF MODULATOR, WHICH RETRANSMITS THE + +CORRECTED SIGNAL TO THE TV SET, USUALLY + +ON CHANNEL 3. + + + + + + + +PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE ZENITH + +SSAVI DECODER: + + THE BOX IS APPROX. 11" BY 7", AND + +ABOUT 2.5" TALL, INCLUDING RUBBER FEET. + +IT HAS A ROUND VERTICAL TRAVEL PUSHBUT- + +TON SWITCH IN THE REAR LEFT TOP CORNER, + +AND IN A SMALL METAL LABEL ON THE TOP + +CENTER OF THE BOX IS ENGRAVED + + + + ZENITH + + SSAVI-1 + + + +ABOUT 1.5" BY .75". THERE ARE 3 FEMALE + +F CONNECTORS ON THE LEFT REAR, AND A 3 + +PIN POWER CONNECTOR ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT + +REAR. THE CASE IS BROWN, WITH A WOOD + +GRAINED STRIP RUNNING AROUND THE HORIZ- + +ONTAL CENTER. A RATHER FORMIDABLE DEV- + +ICE. + + + +SOME INTRESTING FEATURES OF THE SSAVI + +SYSTEM: (WHEN USED BY THE PAY-TV COMP- + +ANIES, KOFF KOFF) + + BECAUSE OF THE EXTREME TO WHICH THE + +SCRAMBLING OF THE SIGNAL IS TAKEN, THE + +SYSTEM PROVIDES MORE SECURITY AGAINST + +THE CASUAL BASEMENT CABLE WIZARD THAN + +ANY OF THE OTHER SYSTEMS IN USE TODAY, + +SAVE THOSE NOW BEING IMPLEMENTED BY + +VARIOUS SATELLITE TRANSMITTERS. THESE + +ARE REALLY MEAN: DIGITAL VIDEO TRANS- + +CRIPTION, FLUCTUATING TRANSMISSION FRE- + +QUENCY, AND OTHER FUN STUFF. BUT THAT + +IS ANOTHER FILE, COMING LATER. + + IN ADDITION TO THE COMPLEXITY OF THE + +SCRAMBLING, EACH BOX IS GIVEN ITS OWN + +INTERNAL ID NUMBER, ALLOWING EACH BOX + +TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE TRANSMITTER AND + +SHUT OFF IN THE EVENT A CUSTOMER DOES + +NOT PAY HIS BILL. IN ADDITION, EACH BOX + +CONTAINS A FIRMWARE CODE WHICH IS CON- + +STANTLY BEING COMPARED TO THAT TRANS- + +MITTED BY THE STATION. HENCE, A STOLEN + +BOX WOLL NOT WORK IN ANOTHER CITY, + +WHERE IT CANNOT BE TURNED OFF BY THE + +NORMAL METHOD DUE TO THE FACT THAT SOME + +ONE MAY ALREADY BE USING A BOX CONTAIN- + +ING THE SAME SECURITY CODE. THERE ARE + +SEVERAL MORE CODES STORED IN THE BOX: + +THOSE WHICH DETERMINE THE SERVICES TO + +WHICH A SUBSCRIBER IS ENTITLED. (SUCH + +AS OPTIONAL SPORTING EVENTS, NITE LIFE, + +ETC.) THESE CODES ARE STORED IN A VOL- + +ITILE MEMORY POWERED BY A RECHARGEABLE + +BATTERY, TO ALLOW REPROGRAMMING FROM + +THE STATION. THIS ALSO MEANS THAT IF + +THE BOX IS STOLEN AND/OR LEFT UNPOWERED + +FOR SEVERAL DAYS, THE BATTERY WILL RUN + +DOWN AND THE AUTHORIZATION CODES WILL + +BE LOST. + + + +WELL, AS USUAL, WHERE THERE IS SEC- + +URITY, THERE WILL BE SECURITY BREAKERS, + +AND THIS IS NO EXCEPTION.

We will let +this be the authoritative answer to the commentaries running in this +issue of the Digest. PAT] + + + Frequently Asked Questions About Caller-ID + v1.1 Mar. 1994 + + + 1) What is Caller-ID ? + + First ask "What is ANI" + + 2) OK, What is ANI ? + + ANI or Automatic Number Identification is a mechanism by which + the different telephone companies determine what account is to be + charged for a call, This information is passed between Telcos and + was originally for billing purposes and predated both SS7 + (Signaling System 7) and (C)LASS (Local Area Signaling Services + was the original AT&T designations, the "C" was added by Bellcore + after divesture) services which make CNID or Calling Number + IDentification as Caller-ID is more properly known, possible. + + Since the Telcos had ANI, the decision was made to make it + available to authorized parties such as 911 service and law + enforcement agencies. ANI is also used to let a Telco operator + know who is calling. + + More recently, ANI is used to report to 800 and 900 subscribers, + who made the calls they have received, in the first case so that + the 800 subscriber knows who the charge is for, and so that 900 + number subscribers know who to charge. + + Thus while ANI is similar to CALLER-ID and may provide the same + information, they are actually two different services and ANI + information is not necessarily the same as what will appear on a + CALLER-ID display. + + 3) Now (maybe) what is Caller-ID ? + + Caller-ID is a Telco offering that is a byproduct of (C)LASS + services. In this case, only those numbers reported by + participating exchanges are returned, exactly which are and which + are not is currently (March 1994) at the Telco's discretion. + + The Federal Government has stated that it is their intent that + nationwide CNID be available by mid-1995. The full text of this + decision may be found FCC Report No. DC-2571 issued on March 8, + 1994. + + The biggest effect of the ruling is to mandate transport of CPN + (customer provided number) information between interconnecting + networks eliminating the effective inter-LATA-only limitation + that exists today in most areas. + + Currently there are two types of Caller-ID. The first (often + referred to as "basic" service) just returns the calling number + or an error message and the date/time of the call. + + The second ("enhanced" Caller-ID) also may return the directory + information about the calling number. At a minimum, the name of + the subscriber is returned (the subscriber is not the same as the + caller, the phone company has no way to determine who is actually + on the line). + + 4) How is the Caller-ID information provided ? + + As a 1200 baud, 7 data bits, 1 stop bit data stream usually + transmitted following the first and before the second ring signal + on the line. Note that this is not a standard Bell 212 or CCITT + v22 data format so a standard modem will probably not be able to + receive it. Further, the serial information exists as such only + from the recipient's switch to the callee's location. Between + carriers the signal exists as data packets. + + The signal is provided before the circuit is complete: picking up + the receiver before the data stream is finished will stop/corrupt + the transmission. + + Currently there are two types of information returned: a "short + form" which contains the date/time (telco and not local) of the + call and the calling number or error message. The "long form" + will also contain the name and possibly the address (directory + information) of the calling phone. + + The "short form" stream consists of a set of null values, + followed by a two byte prefix, followed by the DATE (Month/Day), + TIME (24 hour format), and number including area code in ASCII, + followed by a 2s compliment checksum. Most modems/caller id + devices will format the data but the raw stream looks like this : + 0412303232383134333434303735353537373737xx + or (prefix)02281334407555777(checksum) + + A formatted output would look like this: + Date - Feb 28 + Time - 1:34 pm + Number - (407)555-7777 + + 5) Can a Caller-ID signal be forged/altered ? + + Since the signal is provided by the local Telco switch and the + calling party's line is not connected until after the phone is + answered, generally the signal cannot be altered from the distant + end. Manipulation would have to take place either at the switch + or on the called party's line. + + However, the foregoing applies only to a properly designed CNID + unit. For instance the Motorola M145447 chip has a "power down" + option that wakes the Chip up when the phone rings for just long + enough to receive, process, and deliver the CNID signal after + which it shuts down until the next call. + + Should this option be disabled, the chip will be in a "listen + always" state and it is theoretically possible to "flood" a line + making a vulnerable box record successive erroneous numbers. + + I have received a report of a device called "Presto Chango" that + can transmit an extra ADSI modem tone after the call has been + picked up that will cause a susceptible box to display the later + information. It was also reported to me that CNID boxes marketed + by US-West as their brand and made by CIDCO have been used to + demonstrate the "Presto Chango" box. + + 6) What is "ID Blocking" ? + + Most Telco's providing Caller-ID have been required to also + provide the ability for a calling party to suppress the Caller-ID + signal. Generally this is done by pressing star-six-seven before + making the call. In most cases this will block the next call only + however some Telcos have decided to implement this in a + bewildering array of methods. The best answer is to contact the + service provider and get an answer in writing. + + Currently this is supplied as either by-call or by-line blocking. + By-Call is preferred since the caller must consciously block the + transmission on each call. By-Line blocking as currently + implemented has the disadvantage that the caller, without having + a second caller-id equipped line to use for checking, has no way + of knowing if the last star-six-seven toggled blocking on or off. + + Note that blocking is provided by a "privacy" bit that is + transmitted along with the CNID information and so is still + available to the Telco switch, just not to the subscriber as a + CNID signal. Consequently related services such as call trace, + call return, & call block may still work. + + 7) What happens if a call is forwarded ? + + Generally, the number reported is that of the last phone to + forward the call. Again there are some Telco differences so use + the same precaution as in (6). If the forwarding is done by + customer owned equipment there is no way of telling but will + probably be the last calling number. + + Note that as specified, CNID is *supposed* to return the number + of the originating caller but this is at the mercy of all + forwarding devices, some of which may not be compliant. + + 8) What happens if I have two phone lines and a black box to do + the forwarding ? + + If you have two phone lines or use a PBX with outdialing + features, the reported number will be that of the last line to + dial. Currently there is no way to tell a black box from a human + holding two handsets together. + + 9) I called somebody from a company phone (555-1234) but their + Caller-ID device reported 555-1000. + + Often a company with multiple trunks from the Telco and their own + switch will report a generic number for all of the trunks. + + There is a defined protocol for PBXs to pass true CNID + information on outgoing lines but it will be a long time before + all existing COT (Customer Owned Telephone) equipment is upgraded + to meet this standard unless they have a reason to do so. + + 10) I run a BBS. How can I use Caller-ID to authenticate/log + callers ? + + There are two ways. The first utilizes a separate Caller-ID box + with a serial cable or an internal card. This sends the + information back to a PC which can then decide whether to answer + the phone and what device should respond. Some of these are + available which can handle multiple phone lines per card and + multiple cards per PC. + + The second (and most common) is for the capability to be built in + a modem or FAX/modem. While limited to a single line per modem, + the information can be transmitted through the normal COM port to + a program that again can decide whether or not to answer the + phone and how. There is a FreeWare Caller-ID ASP script for + Procomm Plus v2.x available for FTP from the Telecom archive. + Most such software packages will also log each call as it is + received and the action taken. + + Of course for true wizards, there are chips available (one of the + first was the Motorola MC145447) that can recognize the CNID + signal and transform it into a proper RS-232 (serial) signal. + + 11) How is security enhanced by using Caller-ID over a Call-Back + service or one-time-passwords for dial-up access ? + + Caller-ID has one great advantage over any other mechanism for + telephone lines. It allows the customer to decide *before* + picking up the receiver, whether to answer the call. + + Consider hackers, crackers, and phreaks. Their goal in life is to + forcibly penetrate electronic systems without permission (sounds + like rape doesn't it ?). They employ demon dialers and "finger + hacking" to discover responsive numbers, often checking every + number in a 10,000 number exchange. + + If they get a response such as a modem tone, they have a target + and will often spend days or weeks trying every possible + combination of codes to get in. With Caller-ID answer selection, + the miscreant will never get to the modem tone in the first + place, yet for an authorized number, the tone will appear on the + second ring. Previously the best solution for dial-ups was to set + the modem to answer on the sixth ring (ats0=6). Few hackers will + wait that long but it can also irritate customers. + + 12) What error messages will Caller-ID return ? + + a) "Out of Area" - (Telco) the call came from outside the Telco's + service area and the Telco either has no available information or + has chosen not to return what information it has. + + b) "Blocked" or "Private" - (Telco) the caller either has + permanent call blocking enabled or has dialed star-six-seven for + this call. You do not have to answer either. + + c) "Buffer Full" - (device manufacturer) there are many Caller-ID + devices on the market and exactly how they have chosen to + implement storage is up to the manufacturer. This probably mans + that the divide has a limited buffer space and the device is + either losing the earliest call records or has stopped recording + new calls. + + d) "Data Error" or "Data Error #x" - (device manufacturer) + signal was received that was substandard in some way or for which + the checksum did not match the contents. + + e) "No Data Sent" - (device manufacturer) Signal was received + consisting entirely of nulls or with missing information but a + proper checksum. + + 13) Why are so many people against Caller-ID ? + + FUD - Fear, Uncertainty, & Doubt or 10,000,000 lemmings can't be + wrong. There were some justifiable concerns that some people + (battered wives, undercover policemen) might be endangered or + subject to harassment (doctors, lawyers, celebrities) by + Caller-ID. As mentioned above there are several legitimate ways + to either block Caller-ID or to have it return a different + number. It is up to the caller. The advantage is that with + Caller-ID, for the first time, the called party has the same + "right of refusal". + + Expect yet another Telco service (at a slight additional charge) + to be offered to return an office number for calls made from + home. Crisis centers could return the number of the local police + station. + + + Compiled by Padgett Peterson.

Combining the zip +code with census and other data provides marketers with a rich vein of +demographic information concerning your income, buying habits and +socio-economic preference for squash instead of handball. + +If all this is not enough, the past decade has given direct marketers +another wedge into the collective psyche of American consumers: your +telephone number. Combining the resources of massive computer data +bases with the ability of an emerging "smart" telephone network to +identify callers, the direct-marketing industry is using the telephone +number to track down a person's name, address--and life-style. If +your household is deemed "desirable" to a marketer--perhaps one of the +"Pools & Patios" crowd, as one telemarketer puts it--an 800 or 900 +line service representative may know it before the call is answered. + +Target direct marketing is not new. A company that subscribes to an +800 or 900 service can receive a monthly listing of the numbers of +callers, which can then be matched with names and addresses using a +reverse telephone directory. Correlating that information with +demographic data produces valuable mailing or phone lists. (An 800 +call is toll free, whereas the caller pays for dialing a 900 number. +A caller interested enough to pay a fee is more likely to buy a +product, marketers reason.) + +To the consumer, all this means that products can be more closely +matched to personal tastes, with the result that the junk mail might +just contain something worth buying. What's new is that +information-age marketers have begun to acquire the technology to +carry out this screening process instantly and without the caller's +knowledge. + +Beginning this year, Telesphere Communications, Inc., and Oakbrook +Terrace, Ill., company with $550 million in annual sales, will offer a +service to 900 subscribers that can peg the location of an incoming +call using an are code and the number's three-digit prefix. Knowing +where the call originates allows a salesperson to prepare a pitch. +Later a reverse directory can be used to identify the caller, and a +data base can determine which of 40 demographic "clusters" fits that +person. In the near future, these services may be provided while the +caller is still on the lines. + +Telesphere gets in demographic information from PRIZM, a data base +owned by Claritas Corporation in Alexandria, Va. PRIZM can pinpoint a +neighborhood for virtually everyone in the U.S. using census and other +public demographic information. "It works on the theory that birds of +a feather flock together," says Harvey B. Uelk, a Telesphere sales +director. + +So if you are lucky, the pitchman will know if you fall in the fifth +cluster in the data base: "Furs & Station Wagons." This group is +described as "'new money' living in expensive new neighborhoods.... +They are winners--big producer, and big spenders." A not so fortunate +caller might be lumped into the "Emergent Minorities" cluster. These +people, says a promotional report, are "almost 80 percent black, the +remainder largely composed of Hispanics and other foreign-born +minorities.... Emergent Minorities shows...below-average levels of +education and [below-average] white-collar employment. The stuggle +for emergence from poverty is still evident in these neighborhoods." + +The risk that a household, through clustering, might become the +telemarketing equivalent of a bad credit risk has not escaped the +notice of the American Civil Liberties Union and other public interest +groups who fear that minorities might be excluded from mortgage and +credit opportunities or a gay neighborhood may be blacklisted by an +insurance advertising campaign. A telemarketer might display +different sales pitches on a service representative's computer screen, +depending on whether the incoming caller hails from the "Money & +Brains" or the "Coalburg & Corntown" cluster. + +Marc Rotenberg of Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility +likens calling an 800 or 900 number to walking into a store. "A +person should have a right to enter a store without disclosing +creditworthiness, residence or annual income," Rotenberg asserts. +Lobbying by privacy groups has focused so far on supporting national +legislation that would, in effect, allow a caller to keep his wallet +in his back pocket until he decides to make a purchase. + +The law would give the caller the option of blocking a number from +being displayed immediately bya receiving party. This would be done +by pressing "*-6-7," or a similar combination of numbers, before +making a call. (Marketers could still get callers' 800 or 900 numbers +with their statements each month, however.) Although the law failed +to pass Congress last year, it is scheduled to be reintroduced this +year. + +Individual states are not necessarily waiting for Congress. A +Pennsylvania court has banned "Caller ID" service--a decision that is +on appeal--and a number of state public utility commisions have +ordered that blocking be offered free of charge. For the moment, +states' actions may not affect most telemarketers, whose 800 and 900 +calls are usually routed over the long-distance phone network and +displayed to a clerk using a service called automatic number +identification. + +Support for blocking has come not just from privacy advocates but from +the White House's Office of Consumer Affairs, four of the seven +regional Bell companies and the Direct Marketing Association in New +York City. As with junk mail, the direct-marketing industry +acknowledges that the consumer should have the right to choose not to +receive unsolicited information. + +On the opposite end of the line, a number of telephone companies +contend that caller identification services are a clear boon to +subscribers. Bell Atlantic, an ardent opponent of call blocking, has +compiled a list of subscribers who have used the Caller ID service to +stop obscene phone calls or fake pizza orders and to track down +burglars. + +For their part, some direct marketers assert that fears of +misappropriatio of personal information are greatly exaggerated: they +are interested in patterns of group behavior, not the personal +preferences of the individual. "We try to identify market segments +that are most likely to respond to a particular marketer's products or +services," explains Philip H. Bonello, director of corporate planning +for Metromail, a Lombard, Ill., firm that owns a data base of 86 +million households that supplies the direct-marketing industry. + +But the public is clearly concerned about electronic privacy. In +January Lotus Development Corporation, a Cambridge, Mass., software +company, and Equifax, Inc., an Atlanta-based credit bureau, withdrew +plans to market Lotus Marketplace on compact discs after some 30,000 +people asked that their names be removed from the files. This data +base contains demographic information on about 120 million +individuals. + +The public debate over privacy could grow still more heated if +telephone companies try to market their internal data bases of +information about residential customers. Limited attempts to do so +have sometimes met with resistance. Recently New England Telephone +and New York Telephone dropped a service offering residential and +business directory listings when hundreds of thousands of customers +asked that their names be taken off the lists. + +Legislation may help stem abuses. A public outcry may force companies +to lay low. But the irresistible lure of knowing name, phone number +and lifestyle means that computerized telemarketing is here to stay. +Caveat salutator: let the caller beware. diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/callattnow.phk b/textfiles.com/phreak/callattnow.phk new file mode 100644 index 00000000..2ddf02e1 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/callattnow.phk @@ -0,0 +1,111 @@ +HOW TO HARRASS AT&T AND LET THEM PAY! +(HOW TO CALL AT&T COLLECT USING MCI OR ANY COMPANY) +--------------------------------------------------- + +Written by: TESLA - Long Island 25 + +This file will teach the hackers and phreakers how to call AT&T +collect using the carrier of their choice (don't use AT&T 'cuz +they don't lose money).

If we start getting people from small + goofy countries to do this, shit, we could cost AT&T more than the + long distance network makes in profit... serves you right. You mess + with the wrong people) + +OKAY HERE GOES: + +Most AT&T offices accept collect calls. This is because countries like +CANADA hate their ass and block their 800 customer service numbers. That's +kool. But, they'll also take calls from the US. It's much more fun +to call collect because they gotta pay for the bill to one of their +competitors. We especially like to call using ONCOR 'cuz they really +rip AT&T off plus it blocks your phone number from appearing on AT&T's +bill. (To use ONCOR, dial 800-288-28804129282105-0-ACN CALLING) +Also, we have the BELL OPERATOR give us 1-800-COLLECT (MCI) and they +put MCI's headquarters phone number on AT&T's bill (as long as you can +block ANI in your area- try it). Even so, don't worry about AT&T +harrassing you, they don't. + +GOAL: Do this at least $100 per month ($1200/year); or more. That's + only about 10 calls on rip-off carriers (10555 (ONCOR), 10370 + (AMNEX), etc...) and it'll be around $100. + +Alright: Here's a few number that take collect calls: + +816-654-6000 This is the residential calling card center. Use this + to be transferred to any extension from 6000-6999 they + are all AT&T; you can harrass them, etc... even cancel + a neighbors calling card (Hi, my phone number is XXXX + and I lost my AT&T card I don't know the number) + +816-654-6004 This is the business customers calling card center. + Do the same thing to these people.

Amoung +CLASS features, such as distinctive ringing and selective call forwarding, the +subscriber will also have available a service known as Calling Number Delivery +(CND) and message waiting. With these services, a subscriber will have the +ability to display at a minimum, a message containing the phone number of the +calling party, the date, and the time. A message containing only this infor- +mation is known as a single format message, as shown in figure 9. An extended +message, known as multiple format message, can contain additional information +as shown in figure 10. + +The interface should be arranged to allow simplex data transmission from the +terminating central office, to the CPE (Customer Premises Equipment), only when +the CPE is in an on-hook state. The data will be transmitted in the silent +period between the first and second power ring after a voice path has been +established. + +The data signaling interface should conform to Bell 202 which is described as +follows: + + -Analog, phase coherent, frequency shift keying. + -Logical 1 (Mark) = 1200 # 12 Hz + -Logical 0 (Space) = 2200 # 22 Hz + -Transmission rate = 1200 bps + -Application of data = serial, binary, asynchronous + +The transmission level from the terminating C.O. will be -13.5 dBm #1.0.

It goes resident and monitors a COM port. This COM port +has a Caller ID Box connected to it which sends out 31 characters of +information every time a call comes into your BBS (29 characters + +carriage + line feed). + + +CALLERID will log this information to a file on your hard disk. +CALLERID has several other features: + + + If a caller has disabled his ID information from being + transmitted to the numbers he/she is calling, then it is + referred to as a "PRIVATE" call. This is received by the Caller + ID Box, and CALLERID will optionally create a "flag" file for + the BBS software to detect. + + The Sysop can make a "Bad Numbers List" to hold numbers of + people they DO NOT want to be allowed to call their system + (basically a Trash Can file of phone numbers). If one of these + numbers is received, CALLERID will create a "flag" file for the + BBS software to detect. + + + +SYNTAX + + CALLERID [config file name] | /U + + + The Configuration File Name is the name of a file created by the + CONFIG.EXE program included in this package. If not specified + on the command line, CALLERID.CFG is the default. + + + /U is used to remove the program from memory. The TesSeRact + library we use to handle the TSR routines will mark the + program as waiting to be released, then if no other programs + have been loaded after CALLERID that use the same interrupts + it will remove CALLERID from memory. If another program has + been loaded that is using the same interrupts, then the + program is marked to be released, but remains in memory + (functioning) until the other program is removed and it is + safe to remove CALLERID. + + If this sounds like a smart library for TSR programs, you're + right! It's one heck of a library. Check the end of this + documentation for more information about TesSeRact. By the way, + if you look in the Turbo C On-Line Help Program (THELP.COM) you + will see that Borland used the same library for it's TSR code. + That says a lot for this library. + + If you use /U to uninstall the program, it must be the only + parameter on the command line. + + << NOTE >> The part of this program that uses the TesSeRact + library is smart enough to know when another program has been + loaded after it, that is using the same interrupts. HOWEVER, + the communications part of this program is not so smart! The + communications code is a set of routines to handle interrupt + driven communications on the PC. But these are small and simple + routines! They have not been cleaned up enough to be real + smart. The bottom line here is -- DO NOT LOAD ANY PROGRAM AFTER + THIS PROGRAM THAT OPENS THE SAME COM PORT! IF YOU DO, IT WILL + PROBABLY WORK (ALTHOUGH IT MAY NOT) BUT YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO + UNINSTALL THIS PROGRAM WITHOUT LOCKING UP YOUR MACHINE. + + + + + +CREATING A CONFIGURATION FILE + +Use the CONFIG.EXE file included in this package to create +configuration files. There is context sensitive help available for +the CONFIG program, so please use it to help you create your +configuration file. + + +Optional Files + + The PRIVATE Flag File (output file) is optional. If you don't + want one, leave this field blank. + + The BAD NUMBERS Flag File (output file) is also optional. Leave + this field blank if you don't want to use this option. + + The BAD NUMBERS LIST File (input file) is created by you and + once again, if you don't want to use this option leave this + field blank. + + When creating a Bad Numbers List file, put each phone number on + one line. CALLERID will flag any call that contains this number + as bad. + + NOTE: MAKE SURE YOU PUT THE NUMBER IN THE LIST FILE EXACTLY AS + IT IS RECEIVED BY THE CALLER ID BOX. Spaces must be in the + right place! Anything you put on this line will be flaged as + bad. An example would be if you had a line the had just "695" + on it. Every person that called that had "695" ANYWHERE in + their phone number would be flaged as bad. Example: 695-1212, + 389-6954, 606-3695 would all be flagged as bad numbers. I had a + line in the file once that was blank, and it ended up flagging + every number as bad! + + With this you can flag an entire exchange as bad by using + something like this: "695-" or "389-", but make sure you put in + the dash. + + + + +SOME TECHNICAL INFORMATION ABOUT HOW CALLERID WORKS + +Each time CALLERID needs to write information to a file, it opens +the file, writes the information, and closes the file. This is done +with the DOS File Handle routines. No file is open all the time! If +there is some kind of error while trying to open the file, CALLERID +does nothing - no beeps, no warnings, nothing. It just resets it's +buffer and the information that was to be written is lost. When it +opens a file it opens it in the DENY NONE mode. This is a share +mode that allow other program access to the program at the same +time. I have not run CALLERID on a network, so let me know how it +works. + +The communications buffer for CALLERID's COM port is about 128 +bytes. This is enough for about 4 calls worth of data. The only +time this buffer might overflow is in a situtation where a lot of +DOS calls were happening (like running a disk test program) and +CALLERID did not get a chance to write to the disk. I can't believe +that 4 phone calls would come in before CALLERID would get a chance +to write to the disk under normal use. But, with programming, the +worst always happens . + + + +DISCLAIMER + +This program is released into the PUBLIC DOMAIN. It is free! I am +not trying to make a fast buck on this program. I think that Sysops +spend enough money on their systems and don't need one more person +with their hand out. These kinds of utilities can "nickle and dime" +a Sysop to death! + +I MAKE NO CLAIM THAT THIS PROGRAM WILL WORK AT ALL. IF IT DOES +WORK, I DO NOT CLAIM THAT IT WILL NOT DAMAGE YOUR VALUED HARDWARE OR +SOFTWARE IN THE PROCESS. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! + +I am not a full time programmer, and don't have the resources or +time to create a perfect program.

This interface is available from several dealers +(Sears, AT&T Phone Stores, etc), and must be purchased separately. +The current model is the 125C, priced at about $60 from Sears. + +All the interface units (125, 125A, 125B and the current 125C) have the same +drawback: they only display the telephone number of the caller, not the caller's +name. That can make it difficult to "filter" people you don't want to talk to +(like that annoying magazine subscription person). + +The circuit in CALLID.PNT provides a method of obtaining that information. +Inside all of the Caller*Id interfaces is an XR2211 integrated circuit. This +"chip" has as it's output the data stream containing the information sent over +the telephone line (for you techies, it's a Bell 202 data stream, sent between +the first and second ring). + +All that is necessary to connect the Caller*Id unit to your RS-232 port are: +an MC1488 integrated circuit (available from Radio Shack, for about $l) and +a resistor (lOOK Ohm 1/4 watt, also available from Radio Shack). + +The MC1488 "boosts" the output voltage to the level expected by the RS-232 port +on your computer, and the resistor provides some isolation and reduces the +voltage drop on the output of the MC1488. + +The MC1488 needs a +/- 12volt power supply. If you have one, you're all set. +If not, Radio Shack sells small 9 volt power supplies for S5-6 each; you can +put two back-to-back to get a +/- 9 volt supply, which is close enough. +You could use a couple of 9volt batteries, too. + +Everything, excluding the power supplies, fits into the Caller*id interface case. +I used a little hot-melt glue to place the MC1488 in an unused circuit board +area (watch out for the plastic standoffs on the case!). Small gauge wire +(or wire-wrap wire) connects the components together. If you're uncomfortable +soldering to the integrated circuits, you can pick up IC jumper clips at Radio +Shack as well (that way you can easily remove the "modification"). + +I bring the RS-232 pin 3 and pin 7 connections to a 1/8 inch mini-phone jack, +which I mounted on the case near the existing telephone jacks. + +Once the circuit is built, what do you do with it? I use a Hypercard Stack +built on the EXCELLENT Portfolio Hyper System (PHS), by Bob Davis 70625,717, +to look up the phone number, announce the caller (using Macintalk) and provide +filtering (based on time of day and flags on the caller's record). I log all +incoming calls, both to a separate file and to the record of the caller. + +My stack also contains records for telephone exchanges, so if the specific +number is not found, it will announce where (what town) the call is coming from. + +In addition, since I have two Macintosh computers, I broadcast the information +over Appletalk, so both machines can announce the caller. + +That should give you enough ideas! Following is an extract of the major portion +of the Hypercard script I use. I can't upload the entire stack, since it's part +of PHS. It should give you enough of the logic needed to build your own +application. + +By the way, all of this is PUBLIC DOMAIN, for NON-COMERCIAL USE. +If you want to sell something with this, send me an EMAIL and we can discuss it. + +Mace Moneta +CIS 73167,1546 + + + +-- CallerID Support Code - COPYRIGHT 1989, 1990 BY Mace Moneta + +--=========================================================== +-- ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. +-- FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT THE AUTHOR DIRECTLY. +------------------------------------------------------------- + +-- +-- Put the IDLE handler to sleep while editing a field +-- +on openField + global editingField + put true into editingField +end openField + +-- +-- Wakeup the IDLE handler when finished field editing +-- +on closeField + global editingField + put false into editingField +end closeField + +-- +-- OPEN STACK +-- + +on openStack + + -- + -- Cache the stack in memory for fastest access + -- + set cursor to watch + set lockScreen to true + show all cards + set lockScreen to false + set cursor to none + -- + -- Initialize Variables + -- + global editingField,lastLookup + global globalATPData, globalResponseData + global globalReceiveData, myEntityName + global globalSKTData, globalNBPData + global modemData,myName,serverName,EotDC2,EotHT + global soundList,soundCount,serialBuffer + put false into editingField + put sndList() into soundList + put the number of lines in soundList into soundCount + put empty into globalResponseData + put empty into globalAppleTalkData + put empty into modemData + put empty into serverName + put numToChar(4) & numToChar(18) into EotDC2 + put numToChar(4) & numToChar(9) into EotHT + put the seconds into lastLookup + -- + -- Before we can become an entity on the network, we must first + -- open up access to the network.

This document describes generic requirements for card-reading public +telephone stations. These stations will be deployed by a Bell Operating Company +(BOC) primarily to provide customers having magnetic-stripe cards with easier +access to both BOC and inter-LATA carrier (IC) facilities. + +A BOC Card-Reading Public Station (alternatively referred to as "station") is +intended to work similarly to a current Charge-a-Call station with features +added to read a magnetic-stripe card and conveniently select an IC. The BOCs +expect to issue Calling Cards for use in making intra-LATA toll and local calls +over the BOC networks, and inter-LATA calls over any carrier capable of +accepting a Calling Card number. Similarly, calls billed via Commercial Credit +Cards (CCC) would be possible if the involved BOC or IC were able to accept +them. + +1.1 Outline of Document + +Section 1.2 describes the scope of the document. The general operation of the +station is described in section 1.3. + +Section 2 specifies the requirements for a card-reading public telephone +station. Section 2.1 sets the requirements for card presentation, including how +and when the card should be presented, and what the station should do if the +presentation of the card differs from that required. + +Section 2.2 specifies the requirements for signaling by the customer. This +includes acceptable dialed destination numbers, methods of selection of the IC, +and anti-fraud features of the station. + +Section 2.3 specifies the requirements on how the station will interface with +the end (local) office. The features of the line and electrical characteristics +are described. + +Section 2.4 describes the interface between the station and the IC or a +processor. This includes description of the access environment and what the +station should do to help set up calls. + +Section 2.5 specifies the physical characteristics of the station. Section 3 +contains requirements pertaining to the support that the supplier should +provide for these stations. + +1.2 Scope of Document + +This document provides functional requirements for a card-reading, non-coin +public station. The requirements are intended to describe what the station does +in its various interactions with the customer, the local office, and the +carrier of choice or an associated processor. The requirements also describe +the physical environment in which the station operates. This document is not +intended to dictate how given functions are specifically realized. + +Card reading transactions described here are limited to magnetic-stripe card +technology and cover only those actions required to set up and properly bill a +call. These requirements are generally limited to the station itself. Actions +by other facilities to provide public calling via credit cards are included +only insofar as they relate to pertinent station functions. + +This document contains requirements primarily concerning public stations, card +reading, and carrier selection. The station should also meet requirements +specified by the FCC Rules regarding registration of telephone sets (Part 68), +FCC Rules regarding radiated emissions (Part 15), requirements concerning the +normal station to network interface, and requirements concerning abnormal +conditions on the local loop. + +Human factors of the station and the related service have not been, for the +most part, specifically addressed. Good human factors design, however, is +crucial to a successful product, and underlies many of the requirements. + +1.3 General Operation of the Station + +This document describes a station similar to Charge-a-Call stations, with +features added to read a magnetic-stripe card and conveniently select an IC to +handle the call. This station needs to provide four basic functions: + +Voice-band transmission and reception, + +Addressing the far end party, + +Selection of a carrier, + +Relaying appropriate billing and call status information. + +The first two functions are common to all telephone stations. Carrier selection +is a relatively new function and one of increasing importance. Relaying of +billing information is a function inherent in public stations. + +The station described in this document will operate as a typical modern +telephone with respect to voice-band transmission and reception. Addressing the +far end will be done by standard Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) signals. + +The station will provide the customer at least one way to select an IC. One way +lets the customer dial a particular sequence of digits on the DTMF key pad. +This includes speed code dialing or 7-digit access numbers for carriers, as +well as equal access carrier codes (10XXX). A second way allows the customer to +select certain ICs by pressing a single button on a button field distinct from +the DTMF key pad. This is sometimes referred to a "Select-a-Carrier" or +"Choose-a-Carrier" feature. The station will have to translate the single +button activation into an appropriate sequence of DTMF signals, but this +translation will be largely transparent to the customer. A third potential way +that could be implemented in combination with the first two ways would have an +IC code on the magnetic stripe of a Calling Card. This Calling Card could be +issued by a BOC or by the IC. If the BOC issued the Calling Card, the call +would be directed to that carrier for inter-LATA calls unless the customer +overrides. If the IC issued the Calling Card, the carrier selection could not +be changed. + +The station will provide the customer three ways of entering billing +information. The first tow ways are available on today's Charge-a-Call stations +and involve entering information by voice to an operator, or by use of the DTMF +key pad. The third way allows the customer to enter billing information by +physically presenting a magnetic-stripe credit card to a card-reading device in +the station. + +In general, the station will need enough intelligence to perform the following +functions: + +Accept carrier selection and billing information from the customer. + +Store some of that information for later use in completing the call, if it is +not immediately needed. + +Communicate billing and/or addressing information to carriers or associated +processors, possibly according to more than one protocol. + +2. Station Requirements + +Two types of features of the station are described in this document. The word +"should" indicates a mandatory requirement. "It is desirable" indicates a +non-mandatory feature. These requirements are dynamic and could be influenced +by time, technology, market strategy, or economics. + +2.1 Card Reader + +The card reader and its associated electronics needs to provide four basic +functions: accept the card from the customer, read it, and get it safely back +to the customer; perform certain checks on the data encoded on the magnetic +stripe; separate the card data into meaningful data fields and store each field +for use when and if it is needed; and notify the customer about errors or +invalid cards. + +This document does not specify a type of card reader. Any type may be used, as +long as it can be easily used by the customer. Some of these requirements +pertain only to particular card reader types. + +2.1.1 Card Presentation + +1. When the customer presents a card to an off-hook station, the card reader +should read the card, check its validity (see Section 2.1.2), and store the +data for use during call set-up by the station. + +2. Any card data should be purged from the station after the station goes +on-hook. + +3. If the card reader type entails the customer releasing the card while it is +being read, the station should alert the customer to remove the card from the +reader before sitting up the call. The station should not proceed with the call +setup until the card is removed. Also, it is desirable that part of the card +always remain in sight of the customer. + +4. The customer should be able to remove the card at any time, even while it is +being read. + +5. The card reader should be positioned such that the customer action is +natural. If the customer moves the card in a vertical slot, the motion should +be downward. In a horizontal slot, the card should be moved from left to right. +For insertion type readers, the card should be pushed forward and then removed. + +6. If the customer must move the card past the reader head, the card reader +should successfully read the card over the range of speeds that the customer +might reasonably attempt to move the card. + +7. The customer should receive tactile feedback when presenting the card to the +card reader, as well as feedback when the card is read successfully. + +2.1.2 Checks + +1. The station should check the parity of each character. Each data character +will be encoded on the card with an odd parity bit. + +2. The station should do a Longitudinal Redundancy Character (LRC) check. The +LRC is a check character for the remaining data on the magnetic stripe. The +first four bits in the LRC check the corresponding bits in the other characters +on the magnetic stripe. Each bit is an even parity bit that checks the +corresponding bits in the other characters on the card. The fifth LRC bit is an +odd parity bit for the LRC itself. + +3. The station should check the format of Calling Cards for proper layout of +the data on the card. The format is specified in Section 2.1.3. If the four +digits of the PIN are zeros, the actual PIN is not on the card. + +4. It is desired that the station not check the expiration or effective dates +on the card. + +2.1.3 Card Characteristics + +1. Calling Card characteristics are covered thoroughly in Reference (3). Both +Calling Cards and CCCs will adhere to standards set by the American National +Standards Institute (ANSI) and the American Bankers Association (ABA). + +2. The Calling Card data will be contained on Track 2. The first character will +be a start sentinel. The next six characters will be a one-digit major industry +identifier, and a five-digit issuer identifier. A ten-digit billing number will +be encoded in the next ten characters, followed by a Luhn mod 10 check +character and field separator. The next four characters will contain an +expiration date. Following the expiration date, the four-digit Personal +Identification Number (PIN) will be encoded. The magnetic stripe may also +contain up to another 11 digits of data used to describe various services. +Three of the characters may be a carrier identifier, or may be unused. The next +8 potential characters are, at this time, unused. Unused characters will not be +encoded on the magnetic stripe. The end sentinel will follow the last data +character, and the LRC will follow the end sentinel. + +3. The start and end sentinels should be transmitted as DTMF tone D. The +separator characters should be transmitted as DTMF tone C. The LRC should not +be stored or transmitted as card data. Thus, no more than 39 characters of +magnetic stripe data will need to be stored by the station. + +4. If the last four characters of the 14-digit Calling Card number are zeros, +the Calling Card PIN is not on the magnetic stripe. The specific data fields to +be transmitted are specified in Sections in 2.4. + +5. The station should be capable of being field modified to accommodate changes +in the format of the card. +2.1.4 Error Feedback + +1. The station should provide feedback to the customer for the following +problems on card presentation and reading: + +a. The magnetic stripe on card is damaged, causing errors in reading. + +b. The customer presented the card in the wrong orientation. The station should +include clear user instructions, or graphics, on how to present the card. + +c. The card is not an acceptable CCC or Calling Card (i.e., issuer or industry +identification is inappropriate). + +2. It is desired that the station respond to these errors by emitting tones, or +by sending inband signals to the network, as appropriate. The inband signals +should be sent using DTMF tones, using the codes defined in Section 2.4.4. + + +2.2 Customer Signaling + +The station is expected to accommodate three basic customer signaling +functions: carrier selection via either the DTMF key pad, "Select-a-Carrier" +buttons, or carrier pre-selection on the Calling Card; far-end party address +signaling; and possible manual dialing of billing information. In addition, the +station is expected to incorporate anti-fraud features. + +2.2.1 Carrier Selection + +1. The station should implement either Select-a-Carrier buttons or allow manual +dialing of carrier access codes, or both. + +2. If a method is implemented, it should be implemented according to the +requirements in Sections 2.2.1.1 and 2.2.1.2. + +3. It is desirable that the station accept carrier specific Calling Cards as +described in Section 2.2.1.3. + +2.2.1.1 Separate Select-a-Carrier Buttons + +1. Positive feedback (an appropriate combination of aural, visual, and +tactile), should be provided when a button is pressed. + +2. The number of buttons should be kept to a reasonable level. It is suggested +that no more than 12 buttons be provided. + +3. When transmitting the number to the local office, that is, when using the +station as a Select-a-Carrier station, the station should substitute an access +number or a speed calling code for the button pressed. The access number may be +up to twelve digits. The speed calling code may combine digits with the * or # +signal. + +4. When transmitting to a processor (dial-up or directly connected, as +described in Sections 2.4.4 and 2.4.5), the station should transmit 10XXX or +*XXX for the button pressed. + +2.2.1.2 Manual Dialing of Carrier Access Code + +1. The station should transmit all digits dialed on the key pad as they are +entered. + +2.2.1.3 Pre-Selected Carrier on Card + +1. If the station reads a Calling Card with a carrier code included on the +magnetic stripe in the optional field (see Section 2.1.3), the station should +direct the call towards a processor (as explained in Section 2.4). + +2. If the issuer identifier is '8555', the card is an IC Calling Card issued by +AT&T Communications (ATT/C), even though these cards will not have a carrier +code in the optional field on the magnetic stripe. These calls should be +directed towards AT&T/C. + +2.2.2 Address Signaling + +1. The station should allow the customer to dial the terminating number before +or after carrier selection. + +2. These dialed numbers should be expected from the stations: + +a. 0+7/10 Digits + +b. 01+Country Code+National Number (7 to 12 digits in CC+NN) + +c. 411, 611, 911 + +d. (0,1)+800+7 Digits + +e. 0- + +f. (1)+555-XXXX + +g. (1)+NPA-555-XXXX + +h. 950-XXXX, if a carrier is not selected in another manner. + +3. The local office can block all other dialing sequences that may be dialed. +Thus, it is normally not required for the station to screen for improper +dialing sequences. If a BOC specifies that it is necessary to do so, an +optional feature could allow the station to block all or most calls not on the +above list. + +4. It is desirable that the station enable new calls to be placed without +reusing a card. The method to make sequence calls will be determined. + +2.2.3 Anti-Fraud Features + +1. The station should prevent the customer from signaling via manipulation of +the switchhook. + +2. For loop-start lines, the station should disable the dial until dial tone is +received. For ground-start lines, the local office can detect DTMF tones as +soon as current is provided to the station. + +3. The station should mute or otherwise control the transmitter during any time +where an acoustic coupler could be used for fraud purposes. In particular, the +transmitter should be muted or controlled during the transmission of the card +number and whenever the dial is disabled. Specific requirements on when to mute +or control the transmitter are detailed in Sections 2.4.4 and 2.4.5. + +2.3 End Office Interface + +Electrical and signaling characteristics of the station should meet the +requirements described in: Reference (1) concerning the normal station to +network interface; Reference (2) concerning abnormal conditions on the local +loop. The station should also meet requirements specified by the FCC rules +regarding registration of telephone sets. + +2.3.1 Features of Line + +1. The station should operate on a line with Charge-a-Call class of service. +This class of service allows only nonsent-paid and free calls. An optional +feature may allow the station to operate on lines without Charge-a-Call class +of service, as described in Section 2.2.2, item 3. + +2 The stations should operate with any electronic end office commonly in use by +the BOCs. + +3. The station should operate on either standard loop-start or ground-start +lines. + +4. Answer supervision cannot be provided on these lines. Thus, the station +should not depend on answer supervision for any functions. + +2.3.2 Electrical Characteristics + +1. The loop current from the local office to the station will be a minimum of +23 milliamps at 48 volts DC. It is desirable that the station operate on this +power level without a supplementary power supply. If the station needs more +than 23 milliamps current, a supplementary power source may be used. + +2. The polarity of the loop should not affect operation of the station. + +2.3.3 Signaling Characteristics + +1. The station should operate on lines with DTMF signaling, also know as Touch- +one. + +2. When dialing Calling Card, CCC, or IC access numbers, the station should +transmit digits at a maximum rate of 10 per second. The tone duration and +interdigit interval should not be less than 50 ms and 45 ms, respectively, and +the cycle time (sum of tone duration and interdigital time) should not be less +than 100 ms. It is desirable that digits be transmitted at close to the maximum +rate. + +2.4 Carrier and Processor Interfaces + +These stations should interface either with a carrier or with a processor +(designed to interface with one or more carriers), depending on instructions +programmed into the station. + +It is proposed that the station be kept simpler by using identical protocols to +all ICs whenever feasible. Still, the need for different protocols is +envisioned for direct station-carrier interfaces. Carriers using Feature Groups +A or B would conform to a single protocol from these stations (currently +undefined). Feature Group D carriers, except for ATT/C, might need to conform +to another standard protocol. ATT/C, whether Feature Group C or D, would use a +third protocol. These protocols are described in Sections 2.4.1 through 2.4.3. +The station would determine which protocol to use based on the customer's +actions to select the carrier. + +An interface to a processor could be substituted for the carrier arrangements. +The processor would, in turn, establish and administer the interfaces to the +ICs. The processor could be dialed up by the station or directly connected. +Call sequences and station actions for dial-up and directly connected +processors are described in Sections 2.4.4 and 2.4.5, respectively. + +The station should be programmable to send all calls of certain types to a +dial-up processor, and handle others by the protocols described for the various +carriers. Section 2.4.4 specifies the calls that should cause the station to +dial the processor. The dial-up processor would then handle the call set-up for +those calls. Calls where the customer begins the call by dialing a number or +selecting a carrier would be handled using Charge-a-Call treatment or direct +interfaces to the carriers. + +2.4.1 Call protocol for BOC and ATT/C (Feature Group C) + +1. BOC and ATT/C (FG C) calls are set up by the customer dialing 0+ the +terminating number after receiving dial tone. The station should then wait for +the "bong tone" from the TSPS. The bong tone is defined to be 100 ms or the +DTMF frequencies for the # sign, 941 and 1477 Hz, followed by 1.4 seconds of +dial tone, 350 and 440 Hz. The amplitude of the signal starts at +-7dBm0/frequency +/- 1dB at -3 TLP. The amplitude of the dial tone portion is +exponentially decayed with a time constant of 200 ms. The amplitudes at the +station can vary by loop. The range of amplitudes will be determined. + +2. The station should be able to prefix a digit (e.g., '9') before the first +customer-dialed digit. (This feature should only be used if it cannot be +avoided. This feature could cause human interface problems.) + +3. The station should then transmit only the 10 (if PIN not on card) or 14 +digits of the BOC or AT&T Calling Card number (as explained in Section 2.1.3. + +4. The station should begin transmitting the Calling Card number within 500 ms +or recognition of the bong tone. It is desirable that the digits be transmitted +at the maximum rate. + +2.4.2 Call Protocol for Feature Groups A or B IC + +The call protocol for Feature Groups A or B ICs will be determined later if any +ICs are interested in being accessed directly by the stations. + +2.4.3 Call protocol for Feature Group D IC + +The call protocol for Feature Group D ICs will be determined later if any ICs +are interested in being accessed directly by the stations. + +2.4.4 Call sequence for Dial-Up Processor + +1. The station should dial the processor number, as programmed, only if a +customer presents a card to the station first. The station should be able to +store and dial a one-to-seven-digit processor number. + +(EXCEPTION) ((If an AT&T Calling Card is presented to the station first, the +station should store the card number and handle the call as described in +Section 2.4.1.)) + +2. When a processor is connected, the station should detect a bong tone that +indicates the processor is ready to receive DTMF signals. The station should +then transmit a calling station identification (up to ten digits, if +required),DTMF tone 'D' and all the data from track 2 of the magnetic stripe of +the Calling Card or CCC, DTMF tone 'D' again, and the carrier access code +(10XXX), if a carrier is selected. The processor will have announcements to +prompt the customer, but the station should transmit the data after detecting +the processor tone, or as soon as the customer provides the information, +whichever is later. + +3. The station should begin transmitting the calling station identification +within 500 ms of recognition of the tone. It is desirable that the digits be +transmitted at the maximum rate. + +4. The station should disable the transmitter in the handset during +transmission of the processor number until the card number and DTMF tone 'D', a +3 digit code, and DTMF tone 'D' again for these messages to the processor: + +CODE MESSAGE + +011 Card not readable (failed parity check) +002 Not an ANSI-standard Card +003 Self-diagnostic indication of card reader trouble +08X,09X Give announcements in specified language + +Other codes and messages will be assigned when needed. + +6. The station should allow the customer to dial the terminating number or +carrier codes any time after the billing data are transmitted. + +7. If the customer dials a number first (could include dialing a carrier), the +station should transmit all digits dialed and monitor for a bong tone. If it +detects a bong tone, it should transmit a 14-digit Calling Card number if one +was read, or allow manual dialing; if no bong tone is detected within five +seconds after the last digit dialed, the station should transmit any card +number read after that time. + +8. If the customer presses a Select-a-Carrier button first, the station should +transmit the code stored for that button. The station should then operate the +same as if a number had been dialed first. However, the card data transmitted +may be carrier specific. + +9. After receiving the processor tone, the station should read out the last +card number read. + +2.4.5 Call Sequence for Direct-Connect Processor + +1. The station should accept inputs from the card reader, the DTMF dial pad, or +a Select-a-Carrier button pad when the handset is off-hook. + +2. After a card is presented with the station off-hook, the station should send +DTMF tone 'D', the data from track 2 of the magnetic stripe of the Calling Card +or CCC, and DTMF tone 'D' again. The dial pad should be disabled while the +station is transmitting the card data. + +3. The station should send the codes described in Section 2.4.4, if +appropriate, instead of the card number. + +4. The transmitter should be disabled from the time the handset goes off-hook +until a card is presented and transmitted, or until a digit is dialed. This +prevents a customer from acoustically coupling DTMF tone 'D' and a stolen or +made-up card number into the handset. + +5. If a card is presented first, the station should transmit the carrier access +code if a carrier is selected, or allow the customer to dial. + +6. If a number is dialed first, the station should not transmit any carrier +codes, and should only transmit card data after it receives a bong tone, or +waits at least 5 seconds after the last digit dialed and then reads a card. + +2.5 Physical and Other Requirements + +The station will be composed of several major physical components. + +2.5.1 General + +1. These requirements specify a station to operate in a public, indoor +environment. + +2. All components of the station should be flame resistant. + +3. The station should be built to withstand the abuse expected in a public +environment. + +4. It is desirable that self diagnostics be designed into the card reader. + +5. The station should not be susceptible to radiated emissions from other +sources that are within legal limits. It is desirable that the station not be +susceptible to any radiated emissions from other sources that may reasonably be +encountered. + +2.5.2 Card reader + +1. The card reader should be designed such that the reader head cannot be +easily damaged by misuse or abuse encountered in a public environment. + +2.The card reader should be protected to minimize the frequency of cleaning. + +3. The card reader should be easily maintained. + +4. The card reader should be physically shielded from the interior of the set +such that customers cannot access or tamper with the electrical components of +the station. + +2.5.3 Dial Pad + +1. The dial pad should be will designed from a human factors standpoint with +respect to button spacing, shape, graphics, and activation feedback. + +2. The station should have a moisture and dirt resistant dial pad. + +3. The dial should be durable. Each key should withstand at least 500,000 +depressions before failure. + +2.5.4 Handset and Switch-hook + +1. On wall sets, the handset should be connected to the station with a cord +that can withstand a 400 pound tensile test. + +2. The handset cord should have enough cutting and shear resistance to +withstand attacks by tools such as knives or scissors. Tools with cutting +ability equal to or less than 5-inch diagonal cutters should not be able to +sever the cord. + +3. When destroyed while in service due to any circumstances, the cord should +not create a customer safety hazard. + +4. The handset should be manufactured such that it cannot be disassembled by +customers or field craftspersons. The handset and cord should only be +replaceable by opening the station housing. + +5. The handset should allow people with hearing impairments to use the +telephone with their hearing aids. The station should meet the Electronics +Industries Association's Recommended Standard, RS-504, Magnetic Field Intensity +Criteria for Telephone Compatibility with Hearing Aids, to be considered +hearing aid compatible. This capability should be shown by use of a blue +grommet on the handset cord. + +6. The handset and switch-hook should be able to withstand at least 200,000 +hang-ups before failing. + +2.5.5 Station Housing + +1. The wall station should be capable of being mounted in standard enclosures +currently used by BOCs, including 10A-type enclosures and the 178A backboard. + +2. It is desired that the station be equipped with locks to discourage theft of +the set or tampering with the program codes. + +3. Space should be available on the face of the set to provide instructions for +use of the set, and to place the telephone number and station location +information. + +3. Support + +This section defines the obligations of the supplier to support the station. +Additional requirements are to be determined. + +1. The supplier should provide documentation for the installation, maintenance, +and testing of the stations. + +2. The supplier should provide satisfactory means for replacement parts. + +3. The supplier should have a factory repair service, or similar means for +refurbishment, for repairs that cannot be made in the field. + +4. The supplier should provide data on the reliability of the station and each +major component. + +5. The supplier should have an adequate quality assurance program, including a +means for handling engineering complaints on product design, manufacturing, +operation, maintenance, documentation, and other aspects of the product. + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/calling.txt b/textfiles.com/phreak/calling.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..12d17876 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/calling.txt @@ -0,0 +1,638 @@ + *Calling Card Secrets* + +This is an actual document from BELL LABS and is presented by P-80 systems and +is presented in its entirety!!! + +CARD-READING PUBLIC STATIONS REQUIREMENTS +Bell Communications Research, Inc. + +1. This document describes generic requirements for card-reading public +telephone stations. These stations will be deployed by a Bell Operating Company +(BOC) primarily to provide customers having magnetic-stripe cards with easier +access to both BOC and inter-LATA carrier (IC) facilities. + +A BOC Card-Reading Public Station (alternatively referred to as "station") is +intended to work similarly to a current Charge-a-Call station with features +added to read a magnetic-stripe card and conveniently select an IC. The BOCs +expect to issue Calling Cards for use in making intra-LATA toll and local calls +over the BOC networks, and inter-LATA calls over any carrier capable of +accepting a Calling Card number. Similarly, calls billed via Commercial Credit +Cards (CCC) would be possible if the involved BOC or IC were able to accept +them. + +1.1 Outline of Document + +Section 1.2 describes the scope of the document. The general operation of the +station is described in section 1.3. + +Section 2 specifies the requirements for a card-reading public telephone +station. Section 2.1 sets the requirements for card presentation, including how +and when the card should be presented, and what the station should do if the +presentation of the card differs from that required. + +Section 2.2 specifies the requirements for signaling by the customer. This +includes acceptable dialed destination numbers, methods of selection of the IC, +and anti-fraud features of the station. + +Section 2.3 specifies the requirements on how the station will interface with +the end (local) office. The features of the line and electrical characteristics +are described. + +Section 2.4 describes the interface between the station and the IC or a +processor. This includes description of the access environment and what the +station should do to help set up calls. + +Section 2.5 specifies the physical characteristics of the station. Section 3 +contains requirements pertaining to the support that the supplier should +provide for these stations. + +1.2 Scope of Document + +This document provides functional requirements for a card-reading, non-coin +public station. The requirements are intended to describe what the station does +in its various interactions with the customer, the local office, and the +carrier of choice or an associated processor. The requirements also describe +the physical environment in which the station operates. This document is not +intended to dictate how given functions are specifically realized. + +Card reading transactions described here are limited to magnetic-stripe card +technology and cover only those actions required to set up and properly bill a +call. These requirements are generally limited to the station itself. Actions +by other facilities to provide public calling via credit cards are included +only insofar as they relate to pertinent station functions. + +This document contains requirements primarily concerning public stations, card +reading, and carrier selection. The station should also meet requirements +specified by the FCC Rules regarding registration of telephone sets (Part 68), +FCC Rules regarding radiated emissions (Part 15), requirements concerning the +normal station to network interface, and requirements concerning abnormal +conditions on the local loop. + +Human factors of the station and the related service have not been, for the +most part, specifically addressed. Good human factors design, however, is +crucial to a successful product, and underlies many of the requirements. + +1.3 General Operation of the Station + +This document describes a station similar to Charge-a-Call stations, with +features added to read a magnetic-stripe card and conveniently select an IC to +handle the call. This station needs to provide four basic functions: + +Voice-band transmission and reception, + +Addressing the far end party, + +Selection of a carrier, + +Relaying appropriate billing and call status information. + +The first two functions are common to all telephone stations. Carrier selection +is a relatively new function and one of increasing importance. Relaying of +billing information is a function inherent in public stations. + +The station described in this document will operate as a typical modern +telephone with respect to voice-band transmission and reception. Addressing the +far end will be done by standard Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) signals. + +The station will provide the customer at least one way to select an IC. One way +lets the customer dial a particular sequence of digits on the DTMF key pad. +This includes speed code dialing or 7-digit access numbers for carriers, as +well as equal access carrier codes (10XXX). A second way allows the customer to +select certain ICs by pressing a single button on a button field distinct from +the DTMF key pad. This is sometimes referred to a "Select-a-Carrier" or +"Choose-a-Carrier" feature. The station will have to translate the single +button activation into an appropriate sequence of DTMF signals, but this +translation will be largely transparent to the customer. A third potential way +that could be implemented in combination with the first two ways would have an +IC code on the magnetic stripe of a Calling Card. This Calling Card could be +issued by a BOC or by the IC. If the BOC issued the Calling Card, the call +would be directed to that carrier for inter-LATA calls unless the customer +overrides. If the IC issued the Calling Card, the carrier selection could not +be changed. + +The station will provide the customer three ways of entering billing +information. The first tow ways are available on today's Charge-a-Call stations +and involve entering information by voice to an operator, or by use of the DTMF +key pad. The third way allows the customer to enter billing information by +physically presenting a magnetic-stripe credit card to a card-reading device in +the station. + +In general, the station will need enough intelligence to perform the following +functions: + +Accept carrier selection and billing information from the customer. + +Store some of that information for later use in completing the call, if it is +not immediately needed. + +Communicate billing and/or addressing information to carriers or associated +processors, possibly according to more than one protocol. + +2. Station Requirements + +Two types of features of the station are described in this document. The word +"should" indicates a mandatory requirement. "It is desirable" indicates a +non-mandatory feature. These requirements are dynamic and could be influenced +by time, technology, market strategy, or economics. + +2.1 Card Reader + +The card reader and its associated electronics needs to provide four basic +functions: accept the card from the customer, read it, and get it safely back +to the customer; perform certain checks on the data encoded on the magnetic +stripe; separate the card data into meaningful data fields and store each field +for use when and if it is needed; and notify the customer about errors or +invalid cards. + +This document does not specify a type of card reader. Any type may be used, as +long as it can be easily used by the customer. Some of these requirements +pertain only to particular card reader types. + +2.1.1 Card Presentation + +1. When the customer presents a card to an off-hook station, the card reader +should read the card, check its validity (see Section 2.1.2), and store the +data for use during call set-up by the station. + +2. Any card data should be purged from the station after the station goes +on-hook. + +3. If the card reader type entails the customer releasing the card while it is +being read, the station should alert the customer to remove the card from the +reader before sitting up the call. The station should not proceed with the call +setup until the card is removed. Also, it is desirable that part of the card +always remain in sight of the customer. + +4. The customer should be able to remove the card at any time, even while it is +being read. + +5. The card reader should be positioned such that the customer action is +natural. If the customer moves the card in a vertical slot, the motion should +be downward. In a horizontal slot, the card should be moved from left to right. +For insertion type readers, the card should be pushed forward and then removed. + +6. If the customer must move the card past the reader head, the card reader +should successfully read the card over the range of speeds that the customer +might reasonably attempt to move the card. + +7. The customer should receive tactile feedback when presenting the card to the +card reader, as well as feedback when the card is read successfully. + +2.1.2 Checks + +1. The station should check the parity of each character. Each data character +will be encoded on the card with an odd parity bit. + +2. The station should do a Longitudinal Redundancy Character (LRC) check. The +LRC is a check character for the remaining data on the magnetic stripe. The +first four bits in the LRC check the corresponding bits in the other characters +on the magnetic stripe. Each bit is an even parity bit that checks the +corresponding bits in the other characters on the card. The fifth LRC bit is an +odd parity bit for the LRC itself. + +3. The station should check the format of Calling Cards for proper layout of +the data on the card. The format is specified in Section 2.1.3. If the four +digits of the PIN are zeros, the actual PIN is not on the card. + +4. It is desired that the station not check the expiration or effective dates +on the card. + +2.1.3 Card Characteristics + +1. Calling Card characteristics are covered thoroughly in Reference (3). Both +Calling Cards and CCCs will adhere to standards set by the American National +Standards Institute (ANSI) and the American Bankers Association (ABA). + +2. The Calling Card data will be contained on Track 2. The first character will +be a start sentinel. The next six characters will be a one-digit major industry +identifier, and a five-digit issuer identifier. A ten-digit billing number will +be encoded in the next ten characters, followed by a Luhn mod 10 check +character and field separator. The next four characters will contain an +expiration date. Following the expiration date, the four-digit Personal +Identification Number (PIN) will be encoded. The magnetic stripe may also +contain up to another 11 digits of data used to describe various services. +Three of the characters may be a carrier identifier, or may be unused. The next +8 potential characters are, at this time, unused. Unused characters will not be +encoded on the magnetic stripe. The end sentinel will follow the last data +character, and the LRC will follow the end sentinel. + +3. The start and end sentinels should be transmitted as DTMF tone D. The +separator characters should be transmitted as DTMF tone C. The LRC should not +be stored or transmitted as card data. Thus, no more than 39 characters of +magnetic stripe data will need to be stored by the station. + +4. If the last four characters of the 14-digit Calling Card number are zeros, +the Calling Card PIN is not on the magnetic stripe. The specific data fields to +be transmitted are specified in Sections in 2.4. + +5. The station should be capable of being field modified to accommodate changes +in the format of the card. +2.1.4 Error Feedback + +1. The station should provide feedback to the customer for the following +problems on card presentation and reading: + +a. The magnetic stripe on card is damaged, causing errors in reading. + +b. The customer presented the card in the wrong orientation. The station should +include clear user instructions, or graphics, on how to present the card. + +c. The card is not an acceptable CCC or Calling Card (i.e., issuer or industry +identification is inappropriate). + +2. It is desired that the station respond to these errors by emitting tones, or +by sending inband signals to the network, as appropriate. The inband signals +should be sent using DTMF tones, using the codes defined in Section 2.4.4. + + +2.2 Customer Signaling + +The station is expected to accommodate three basic customer signaling +functions: carrier selection via either the DTMF key pad, "Select-a-Carrier" +buttons, or carrier pre-selection on the Calling Card; far-end party address +signaling; and possible manual dialing of billing information. In addition, the +station is expected to incorporate anti-fraud features. + +2.2.1 Carrier Selection + +1. The station should implement either Select-a-Carrier buttons or allow manual +dialing of carrier access codes, or both. + +2. If a method is implemented, it should be implemented according to the +requirements in Sections 2.2.1.1 and 2.2.1.2. + +3. It is desirable that the station accept carrier specific Calling Cards as +described in Section 2.2.1.3. + +2.2.1.1 Separate Select-a-Carrier Buttons + +1. Positive feedback (an appropriate combination of aural, visual, and +tactile), should be provided when a button is pressed. + +2. The number of buttons should be kept to a reasonable level. It is suggested +that no more than 12 buttons be provided. + +3. When transmitting the number to the local office, that is, when using the +station as a Select-a-Carrier station, the station should substitute an access +number or a speed calling code for the button pressed. The access number may be +up to twelve digits. The speed calling code may combine digits with the * or # +signal. + +4. When transmitting to a processor (dial-up or directly connected, as +described in Sections 2.4.4 and 2.4.5), the station should transmit 10XXX or +*XXX for the button pressed. + +2.2.1.2 Manual Dialing of Carrier Access Code + +1. The station should transmit all digits dialed on the key pad as they are +entered. + +2.2.1.3 Pre-Selected Carrier on Card + +1. If the station reads a Calling Card with a carrier code included on the +magnetic stripe in the optional field (see Section 2.1.3), the station should +direct the call towards a processor (as explained in Section 2.4). + +2. If the issuer identifier is '8555', the card is an IC Calling Card issued by +AT&T Communications (ATT/C), even though these cards will not have a carrier +code in the optional field on the magnetic stripe. These calls should be +directed towards AT&T/C. + +2.2.2 Address Signaling + +1. The station should allow the customer to dial the terminating number before +or after carrier selection. + +2. These dialed numbers should be expected from the stations: + +a. 0+7/10 Digits + +b. 01+Country Code+National Number (7 to 12 digits in CC+NN) + +c. 411, 611, 911 + +d. (0,1)+800+7 Digits + +e. 0- + +f. (1)+555-XXXX + +g. (1)+NPA-555-XXXX + +h. 950-XXXX, if a carrier is not selected in another manner. + +3. The local office can block all other dialing sequences that may be dialed. +Thus, it is normally not required for the station to screen for improper +dialing sequences. If a BOC specifies that it is necessary to do so, an +optional feature could allow the station to block all or most calls not on the +above list. + +4. It is desirable that the station enable new calls to be placed without +reusing a card. The method to make sequence calls will be determined. + +2.2.3 Anti-Fraud Features + +1. The station should prevent the customer from signaling via manipulation of +the switchhook. + +2. For loop-start lines, the station should disable the dial until dial tone is +received. For ground-start lines, the local office can detect DTMF tones as +soon as current is provided to the station. + +3. The station should mute or otherwise control the transmitter during any time +where an acoustic coupler could be used for fraud purposes. In particular, the +transmitter should be muted or controlled during the transmission of the card +number and whenever the dial is disabled. Specific requirements on when to mute +or control the transmitter are detailed in Sections 2.4.4 and 2.4.5. + +2.3 End Office Interface + +Electrical and signaling characteristics of the station should meet the +requirements described in: Reference (1) concerning the normal station to +network interface; Reference (2) concerning abnormal conditions on the local +loop. The station should also meet requirements specified by the FCC rules +regarding registration of telephone sets. + +2.3.1 Features of Line + +1. The station should operate on a line with Charge-a-Call class of service. +This class of service allows only nonsent-paid and free calls. An optional +feature may allow the station to operate on lines without Charge-a-Call class +of service, as described in Section 2.2.2, item 3. + +2 The stations should operate with any electronic end office commonly in use by +the BOCs. + +3. The station should operate on either standard loop-start or ground-start +lines. + +4. Answer supervision cannot be provided on these lines. Thus, the station +should not depend on answer supervision for any functions. + +2.3.2 Electrical Characteristics + +1. The loop current from the local office to the station will be a minimum of +23 milliamps at 48 volts DC. It is desirable that the station operate on this +power level without a supplementary power supply. If the station needs more +than 23 milliamps current, a supplementary power source may be used. + +2. The polarity of the loop should not affect operation of the station. + +2.3.3 Signaling Characteristics + +1. The station should operate on lines with DTMF signaling, also know as Touch- +one. + +2. When dialing Calling Card, CCC, or IC access numbers, the station should +transmit digits at a maximum rate of 10 per second. The tone duration and +interdigit interval should not be less than 50 ms and 45 ms, respectively, and +the cycle time (sum of tone duration and interdigital time) should not be less +than 100 ms. It is desirable that digits be transmitted at close to the maximum +rate. + +2.4 Carrier and Processor Interfaces + +These stations should interface either with a carrier or with a processor +(designed to interface with one or more carriers), depending on instructions +programmed into the station. + +It is proposed that the station be kept simpler by using identical protocols to +all ICs whenever feasible. Still, the need for different protocols is +envisioned for direct station-carrier interfaces. Carriers using Feature Groups +A or B would conform to a single protocol from these stations (currently +undefined). Feature Group D carriers, except for ATT/C, might need to conform +to another standard protocol. ATT/C, whether Feature Group C or D, would use a +third protocol. These protocols are described in Sections 2.4.1 through 2.4.3. +The station would determine which protocol to use based on the customer's +actions to select the carrier. + +An interface to a processor could be substituted for the carrier arrangements. +The processor would, in turn, establish and administer the interfaces to the +ICs. The processor could be dialed up by the station or directly connected. +Call sequences and station actions for dial-up and directly connected +processors are described in Sections 2.4.4 and 2.4.5, respectively. + +The station should be programmable to send all calls of certain types to a +dial-up processor, and handle others by the protocols described for the various +carriers. Section 2.4.4 specifies the calls that should cause the station to +dial the processor. The dial-up processor would then handle the call set-up for +those calls. Calls where the customer begins the call by dialing a number or +selecting a carrier would be handled using Charge-a-Call treatment or direct +interfaces to the carriers. + +2.4.1 Call protocol for BOC and ATT/C (Feature Group C) + +1. BOC and ATT/C (FG C) calls are set up by the customer dialing 0+ the +terminating number after receiving dial tone. The station should then wait for +the "bong tone" from the TSPS. The bong tone is defined to be 100 ms or the +DTMF frequencies for the # sign, 941 and 1477 Hz, followed by 1.4 seconds of +dial tone, 350 and 440 Hz. The amplitude of the signal starts at +-7dBm0/frequency +/- 1dB at -3 TLP. The amplitude of the dial tone portion is +exponentially decayed with a time constant of 200 ms. The amplitudes at the +station can vary by loop. The range of amplitudes will be determined. + +2. The station should be able to prefix a digit (e.g., '9') before the first +customer-dialed digit. (This feature should only be used if it cannot be +avoided. This feature could cause human interface problems.) + +3. The station should then transmit only the 10 (if PIN not on card) or 14 +digits of the BOC or AT&T Calling Card number (as explained in Section 2.1.3. + +4. The station should begin transmitting the Calling Card number within 500 ms +or recognition of the bong tone. It is desirable that the digits be transmitted +at the maximum rate. + +2.4.2 Call Protocol for Feature Groups A or B IC + +The call protocol for Feature Groups A or B ICs will be determined later if any +ICs are interested in being accessed directly by the stations. + +2.4.3 Call protocol for Feature Group D IC + +The call protocol for Feature Group D ICs will be determined later if any ICs +are interested in being accessed directly by the stations. + +2.4.4 Call sequence for Dial-Up Processor + +1. The station should dial the processor number, as programmed, only if a +customer presents a card to the station first. The station should be able to +store and dial a one-to-seven-digit processor number. + +(EXCEPTION) ((If an AT&T Calling Card is presented to the station first, the +station should store the card number and handle the call as described in +Section 2.4.1.)) + +2. When a processor is connected, the station should detect a bong tone that +indicates the processor is ready to receive DTMF signals. The station should +then transmit a calling station identification (up to ten digits, if +required),DTMF tone 'D' and all the data from track 2 of the magnetic stripe of +the Calling Card or CCC, DTMF tone 'D' again, and the carrier access code +(10XXX), if a carrier is selected. The processor will have announcements to +prompt the customer, but the station should transmit the data after detecting +the processor tone, or as soon as the customer provides the information, +whichever is later. + +3. The station should begin transmitting the calling station identification +within 500 ms of recognition of the tone. It is desirable that the digits be +transmitted at the maximum rate. + +4. The station should disable the transmitter in the handset during +transmission of the processor number until the card number and DTMF tone 'D', a +3 digit code, and DTMF tone 'D' again for these messages to the processor: + +CODE MESSAGE + +011 Card not readable (failed parity check) +002 Not an ANSI-standard Card +003 Self-diagnostic indication of card reader trouble +08X,09X Give announcements in specified language + +Other codes and messages will be assigned when needed. + +6. The station should allow the customer to dial the terminating number or +carrier codes any time after the billing data are transmitted. + +7. If the customer dials a number first (could include dialing a carrier), the +station should transmit all digits dialed and monitor for a bong tone. If it +detects a bong tone, it should transmit a 14-digit Calling Card number if one +was read, or allow manual dialing; if no bong tone is detected within five +seconds after the last digit dialed, the station should transmit any card +number read after that time. + +8. If the customer presses a Select-a-Carrier button first, the station should +transmit the code stored for that button. The station should then operate the +same as if a number had been dialed first. However, the card data transmitted +may be carrier specific. + +9. After receiving the processor tone, the station should read out the last +card number read. + +2.4.5 Call Sequence for Direct-Connect Processor + +1. The station should accept inputs from the card reader, the DTMF dial pad, or +a Select-a-Carrier button pad when the handset is off-hook. + +2. After a card is presented with the station off-hook, the station should send +DTMF tone 'D', the data from track 2 of the magnetic stripe of the Calling Card +or CCC, and DTMF tone 'D' again. The dial pad should be disabled while the +station is transmitting the card data. + +3. The station should send the codes described in Section 2.4.4, if +appropriate, instead of the card number. + +4. The transmitter should be disabled from the time the handset goes off-hook +until a card is presented and transmitted, or until a digit is dialed. This +prevents a customer from acoustically coupling DTMF tone 'D' and a stolen or +made-up card number into the handset. + +5. If a card is presented first, the station should transmit the carrier access +code if a carrier is selected, or allow the customer to dial. + +6. If a number is dialed first, the station should not transmit any carrier +codes, and should only transmit card data after it receives a bong tone, or +waits at least 5 seconds after the last digit dialed and then reads a card. + +2.5 Physical and Other Requirements + +The station will be composed of several major physical components. + +2.5.1 General + +1. These requirements specify a station to operate in a public, indoor +environment. + +2. All components of the station should be flame resistant. + +3. The station should be built to withstand the abuse expected in a public +environment. + +4. It is desirable that self diagnostics be designed into the card reader. + +5. The station should not be susceptible to radiated emissions from other +sources that are within legal limits. It is desirable that the station not be +susceptible to any radiated emissions from other sources that may reasonably be +encountered. + +2.5.2 Card reader + +1. The card reader should be designed such that the reader head cannot be +easily damaged by misuse or abuse encountered in a public environment. + +2.The card reader should be protected to minimize the frequency of cleaning. + +3. The card reader should be easily maintained. + +4. The card reader should be physically shielded from the interior of the set +such that customers cannot access or tamper with the electrical components of +the station. + +2.5.3 Dial Pad + +1. The dial pad should be will designed from a human factors standpoint with +respect to button spacing, shape, graphics, and activation feedback. + +2. The station should have a moisture and dirt resistant dial pad. + +3. The dial should be durable. Each key should withstand at least 500,000 +depressions before failure. + +2.5.4 Handset and Switch-hook + +1. On wall sets, the handset should be connected to the station with a cord +that can withstand a 400 pound tensile test. + +2. The handset cord should have enough cutting and shear resistance to +withstand attacks by tools such as knives or scissors. Tools with cutting +ability equal to or less than 5-inch diagonal cutters should not be able to +sever the cord. + +3. When destroyed while in service due to any circumstances, the cord should +not create a customer safety hazard. + +4. The handset should be manufactured such that it cannot be disassembled by +customers or field craftspersons. The handset and cord should only be +replaceable by opening the station housing. + +5. The handset should allow people with hearing impairments to use the +telephone with their hearing aids. The station should meet the Electronics +Industries Association's Recommended Standard, RS-504, Magnetic Field Intensity +Criteria for Telephone Compatibility with Hearing Aids, to be considered +hearing aid compatible. This capability should be shown by use of a blue +grommet on the handset cord. + +6. The handset and switch-hook should be able to withstand at least 200,000 +hang-ups before failing. + +2.5.5 Station Housing + +1. The wall station should be capable of being mounted in standard enclosures +currently used by BOCs, including 10A-type enclosures and the 178A backboard. + +2. It is desired that the station be equipped with locks to discourage theft of +the set or tampering with the program codes. + +3. Space should be available on the face of the set to provide instructions for +use of the set, and to place the telephone number and station location +information. + +3. Support + +This section defines the obligations of the supplier to support the station. +Additional requirements are to be determined. + +1. The supplier should provide documentation for the installation, maintenance, +and testing of the stations. + +2. The supplier should provide satisfactory means for replacement parts. + +3. The supplier should have a factory repair service, or similar means for +refurbishment, for repairs that cannot be made in the field. + +4. The supplier should provide data on the reliability of the station and each +major component. + +5. The supplier should have an adequate quality assurance program, including a +means for handling engineering complaints on product design, manufacturing, +operation, maintenance, documentation, and other aspects of the product. + + diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/callwait.hum b/textfiles.com/phreak/callwait.hum new file mode 100644 index 00000000..488db5d9 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/callwait.hum @@ -0,0 +1,103 @@ + DEFEATING CALL WAITING - If you use a MODEM for telecommunications, you may +have been told that you cannot have the Call Waiting service offered by the +phone company. Call Waiting is a service that permits you to receive a call +when your line is already busy. If you are talking to someone on the phone, and +someone tries to call you, you will be momentarily disconnected from your first +conversation and connected to a "beep" tone. The person on the other end will +hear a moment of dead silence (as if you had depressed your phone switchhook for +about half a second). Note that the Call Waiting tone is NOT superimposed upon +the conversation in progress, rather, the existing connection is momentarily +interrupted while the Call Waiting tone is online. You then have the option to +hang up, in which case the original connection will be broken, your phone will +ring, and you can answer the second call, OR you can switch between calls by +momentarily depressing the switchhook - one caller will be on"hold", and you can +talk to the other. + + This service works reasonably well on voice circuits, but when a phone line is +used for both voice and data, some problems arise. For one thing, when a MODEM +is in use, it is usually not possible to hear the Call Waiting beep tone, thus a +second caller would probably never be answered, and might incorrectly conclude +that no one is at home. However, in some circumstances, the momentary +interruption of the circuit may cause one or both of the MODEMs in use to drop +carrier and disconnect, or at very least may garble the data being transmitted. +IF a commercial service or a Bulletin Board System is being accessed, the +momentary carrier loss will almost always cause a disconnect (and if you are +paying for the service, you may incur an extra charge because you didn't +terminate the call properly). + + Unfortunately, many of us can't afford to have a separate phone line for our +computer, so the question is, how do we defeat Call Waiting while our computer +is using the phone? You may have been told that it's impossible (especially if +you asked someone at the phone company), but that's not so. However, you must +have one additional "Custom Calling" service - either Call Forwarding or Three +Way Calling - for this to work. + + Before I describe the methods, I'll just state that the reason they work is +that no matter how many "Custom Calling" features you have, your line will only +handle a maximum of two calls at once. In other words, if you have two outgoing +calls in progress on Three Way Calling, an incoming call will receive a busy +signal even though you also have Call Waiting. + + The easiest method involves using Call Forwarding, providing you can fine a +"permanently busy" number in your area. Most exchanges have one or more numbers +that ALWAYS return a busy signal (in Michigan, for example, numbers ending in +"9999" are often permanently busy). If you have friends in the phone company, +they may be able to give you a permanently busy number. All you do is to set up +Call Forwarding to forward all your incoming calls to that numbers. Callers +receive a busy signal, and your line is not interrupted by Call Waiting. In +some areas, you may be able to Call Forward calls to your own number, which +would have the same effect (busy signal), or (less desirable) to a number that +you are absolutely sure will never answer - perhaps a business you know is +closed (this would give callers a ringing signal). Or, you could even forward +calls to a friend, who could explain to callers that you're using your MODEM, +and either take messages or ask callers to phone back later. Once you're +through with your MODEM calls, be sure to cancel the call Forwarding! + + If you have Three Way Calling, you can place a call to a "permanently busy" or +"permanently no answer" number, then press the switchhook momentarily to get the +second dial tone, and then dial the number you want to call with your computer. +The problem with this is that some phone companies have "timeouts" that will +automatically disconnect a line that has been connected to a busy signal or no +answer for a given amount of time. When the number disconnects it will +momentarily interrupt your MODEM connection - the very condition you're trying +to avoid! So, it may pay to experiment with a few numbers to see which will +time out, and which won't. For example, it may be that on your exchange, busy +signals will time out but "invalid number" recordings won't. Try dialing a +local with a "1" in front of it, and see if you get a recording telling you not +to dial the "1" (or try the opposite a long distance call with no "1"). That +may get you a recording that will not time out. + + When you use the Three Way Calling method, there is an additional disadvantage +in that if your MODEM call is busy or does not answer, you will have to set +everything up again next time you try to call. In contrast, Call Forwarding +remains enabled until you specifically disable it. + + You may find it advantageous to have BOTH Call Forwarding and Three Way +Calling. This way, if someone calls YOU and wants to upload something to you +(or you want to download to him), you call first excuse yourself, go onto Three +Way Calling, and program your Call Forwarding from there, so that you won't be +interrupted. Otherwise, you would have no way to set up Call Forwarding once a +call is already in progress. + + Of course, by the time you have Call Waiting, Call Forwarding, and Three-way +Calling, you'll be paying a pretty hefty monthly charge to the phone company. +So you may find that getting rid of the Call Waiting is an attractive +alternative. Or, perhaps you can limit your MODEM calls to after midnight, when +no one in their right mind would be calling you anyway (of course, you may know +a few folks that aren't in their right mind, or maybe you have a reputation as a +night owl, like most computer hackers). + + Please note - the above methods of defeating Call Waiting are suggestions +only. I assume no responsibility if your phone company gets mad at you for +actually using one of them. HOWEVER, if the DO complain, you might suggest to +them that if they are going to sell such a service, they might consider +providing a way (maybe a one or two digit code) that people can temporarily +disable it, so that important calls would not be interrupted. Even if you're +NOT, using a MODEM, it is an awful nuisance to have a long distance call +constantly interrupted by Call Waiting - which is probably one reason the +feature isn't more popular than it is! + +This article re-printed from NORTHERN BYTES Newsletter. + +Call The Works BBS - 1600+ Textfiles! - [914]/238-8195 - 300/1200 - Always Open + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/callwait.txt b/textfiles.com/phreak/callwait.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..5bfd45d1 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/callwait.txt @@ -0,0 +1,57 @@ ++*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+ +* * ++ THE CALL WAITING TAP + +* * ++ WRITTEN BY: The Byte + +* * ++ DISTRIBUTED BY: Road Agent + +*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* + + So, you have an enemy who talks behind your back, eh?

If you don't have call forwarding, +I suggest you get it if you are going to make a habit of this, because it +will become a major pain in the ass. When your call waiting rings, you are +removed from the "listening" conversation and placed back on his hold +circuit. In order to get back on, you must answer the phone and wait for +your party (when you answer the phone, tell the guy you are in a hurry and +you have to go or you'll call him back later or something) to hang up. When +he or she hangs up, you will be back on the conversation. Then, one of your +pals will say: What was that? (because of the clicks).. So, try to use call +forwarding if you can.

If so read on. + + In July of this year, Northwestern Bell instaled a feature called +"Cancel Call Waiting" in many of it's 1A Electronic Switching Systems +(ESS) in the Metro area. If you have call waiting you can defeat the +feature two different ways. First, when originating a call dial *70 +first, then you will hear 2 quick bursts of dial tone then a steady +dial tone then you can make your call and the call waiting feature will +be defeated for the duration of your call. When you hang up it will +automatically restore call waiting for the next call. The second way is +that if you have conference calling you can shut off call waiting while +you are on the phone during a conversation by flashing the switch-hook +to get the second dial tone and then dial the *70 code. You will hear +the two beeps of dial tone and then be dropped back to the party you +were talking to. For those of you that do not have touch-tone service +you can dial 1170 in place of the *70 code. It operates the same as +the *70 code. Set-up your auto-dial modems to dial the *70 code before +you call any computer system. + + Even though you need to be served by an ESS office to get these +features, this feature is not available in all ESS offices. This is +determined by the type of processor your particular exchange has. At +this writing the feature only works in a #1A type ESS office. The +other ESS offices are mostly known as #1 ESS's. Just for a little +background information, the 1A type exchanges can be found in the +larger (busier) exchanges. The 1A has more capacity and more other +features than the #1 ESS. But don't lose all hope, some #1 ESS offices +can be and will be converted to 1A's in the future as more capacity is +needed in that area. It may be possible to incorporate this feature in +the #1's in the future also. + + I have seen some lists of exchanges on different computer bulletin +boards that had exchanges that did not exist or cannot even offer the +call waiting feature. Hopefully this list will set the record straight. + + Another way to defeat call waiting is to use the call forwarding +feature if you have it on your line. When your calls are forwarded the +phone will not "BEEP" when a call comes in. With the call forwarding +feature activated your phone will still work on outgoing calls, all the +incomming calls will go to the forwarded number. + + diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/card b/textfiles.com/phreak/card new file mode 100644 index 00000000..099f4215 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/card @@ -0,0 +1,13 @@ + + PHONE CARDS + ----------- +Don't throw that used phone card away coz heres how to get unlimited phonecalls +all you need is a piece of unused videotape (which you glue ( pritstik works +well ) across the magnetic strip ( indicated by the parallel lines) the tape +section is then rubbed with a 2B pencil LIGHTLY to leave a fine coating on the +strip.

I got +mine about 2 years ago and spent some time trying to find the manufacturer. +I found a listing for SR&D in the Noth America technical directory at +the public library. I found the listing for the American sales office +in Los Angeles. I tried calling but the company had gone out of +business. There was no listing in the local phone directory either. +I then tried calling the head office in Japan, but they also had +gone out of business. I haven't seen the company listed in any recent +electronics directories, so I think they really are gone. + +I have spent about an hour looking at the signals on the outputs +of the device. One signal line is a /STATUS line which indicates +when a card is been moved through the unit. The other 2 lines +pulse in response to a magnetic card. I believe the IC performs +Manchester decoding and clock recovery for the read channel, so one +output line is DATA and the other is CLOCK. + +That is as far as I got 2 years ago and I had forgot about it until +now.

I found +that output signals were something like that: data out, data clock out, data +readable and and card ath the end of the reader. Then I connected the reader +to the joystick port of my 386SX and made a little Turbo Pascal program for +reading the card. + +Spare printer port is the interface I use very often to connect diffrent +hardware circuit to my computer.

It is +quite false, since in fact an electronic phone-card does not contain any +secret information like credit cards and an electronic phonecard is nothing +else that an 256 bits EPROM, with serial output. + +Besides do not think that you are going to refilled them, when you will know +how these cards works, since for that you should reset the 256 bits of the +cards by erasing the whole card. But the chip is coated in UV opaqued resin +even if sometime you can see it as tranparent! Even if you were smart +enough to erase the 256 bits of the card you should program the maer area, +but these first 96 bits are writing protected by the fusang of a fuse after +the card programing in factory. + +Neithertheless it can be very interesting to stdy how these cards work, to +see how the data are maped inside or to see if there are units left inside, +besides there are a great number of applications of these cards when there +are used, since you can use them as key to open a door, or you can also use +them as key to secure a progpam, etc. + + +SCHEMATICS of the chip +====================== + + .-------------------. + | | + --|> Clk | + | _ | + --| R/W | + | | + --| Reset | + | | + --| Fuse | + | | + --| Vpp | + | | + | | + '-. .-' + | | + .-------------------. + | Out |-- serial output + '-------------------' + + +PINOUT of the connector +======================= + + + AFNOR CHIP ISO CHIP + ---------- -------- + + -------------+------------- -------------+------------- +| 8 | 4 | | 1 | 5 | +| | | | | | ++-------\ | /-------+ +-------\ | /-------+ +| 7 +----+----+ 3 | | 2 +----+ + 6 | +| | | | | | | | ++--------| |--------+ +--------| |--------+ +| 6 | | 2 | | 3 | | 7 | +| + +----+ | | +----+----+ | ++-------/ | \-------+ +-------/ | \-------+ +| 5 | 1 | | 4 | 8 | +| | | | | | + -------------+------------- -------------+------------- + + +PINOUT: 1 : Vcc = 5V 5 : Gnd +------ 2 : R/W 6 : Vpp = 21V + 3 : Clk 7 : I/O + 4 : Reset 8 : Fuse + + +TAME DIAGRAMS +============= + ++21V _____________ ++5V ____________________________________| |_________________ Vpp + : : ++5V ___________________:_____________:_________________ +Reset +0V ________________| : : + : : : ++5V ____ : ____ : ______:______ +0V ___| |_______:_____| |________:______| : |__________ +Clock + : : : : : : : : : ++5V : : : : : :______:______: : _ +0V ___:____:_______:_____:____:________| : |______:__________ R/W + : : : : : : : : : ++5V : : :_____: :________: : : :__________ +0V XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX_____XXXXXX________XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX__________ Out + : : : : : :<-----><---->: : + : : : : : :10 to 10 to : + : : : : : :50 ms 50ms : + Reset Bit 1 Bit2 Bit 3 + card reading reading Bit2 writing to 1 reading + + +MEMORY MAP of the french CARDS +============================== + +Bytes Bits Binary Hexa + + +-----------+-----+ + 1 1 --> 8 | | | + +-----------+-----+ + 2 9 --> 16 | 0000 0011 | $03 | ---> a french telecard + +-----------+-----+ + 3 17 --> 24 | | | + +-----------+-----+ + 4 25 --> 32 | | | + +-----------+-----+ + 5 33 --> 40 | | | + +-----------+-----+ + 6 41 --> 48 | | | + +-----------+-----+ + 7 49 --> 56 | | | + +-----------+-----+ + 8 57 --> 64 | | | + +-----------+-----+ + 9 65 --> 72 | | | + +-----------+-----+ + 10 73 --> 80 | | | + +-----------+-----+ + 11 81 --> 88 | | | + +-----------+-----+ + 12 33 --> 40 | 0001 0011 | $13 | ---> 120 units card + | 0000 0110 | $06 | ---> 50 units card + | 0000 0101 | $05 | ---> 40 units card + +-----------+-----+ + 13-31 97 --> 248 | | | ---> The units area: each time a unit + | | | is used, then a bit is set to +"1"; + | | | Generaly the first ten units are + | | | fused in factory as test. + | | | + | | | + | | | + +-----------+-----+ + 32 249 --> 256 | 1111 1111 | $FF | ---> the card is empty + +-----------+-----+ + + +MEMORY MAP of the other cards +============================= + +Bytes Bits Binary Hexa + + +-----------+-----+ + 1 1 --> 8 | | | + +-----------+-----+ + 2 9 --> 16 | 1000 0011 | $83 | ---> a telecard + +-----------+-----+-----------+-----+ +3-4 17 --> 32 | 1000 0000 | $80 | 0001 0010 | $12 | ---> 10 units card + | | | 0010 0100 | $24 | ---> 22 units card + | | | 0010 0111 | $27 | ---> 25 units card + | | | 0011 0010 | $32 | ---> 30 units card + | | | 0101 0010 | $52 | ---> 50 units card + | | | 1000 0010 | $82 | ---> 80 units card + | 1000 0001 | $81 | 0000 0010 | $02 | ---> 100 units card + | | | 0101 0010 | $52 | ---> 150 units card + +-----------+-----+-----------+-----+ + 5 33 --> 40 | | | + +-----------+-----+ + 6 41 --> 48 | | | + +-----------+-----+ + 7 49 --> 56 | | | + +-----------+-----+ + 8 57 --> 64 | | | + +-----------+-----+ + 9 65 --> 72 | | | + +-----------+-----+ + 10 73 --> 80 | | | + +-----------+-----+ + 11 81 --> 88 | | | + +-----------+-----+ + 12 89 --> 96 | 0011 0000 | $30 | ---> Norway + | 0011 1100 | $3C | ---> Ireland + | 0100 0111 | $47 | ---> Portugal + | 0101 0101 | $55 | ---> Czech Republic + | 0101 1111 | $5F | ---> Gabon + | 0110 0101 | $65 | ---> Finland + +-----------+-----+ + 13-31 97 --> 248 | | | ---> The units area: each time a unit + | | | is used, then a bit is set to +"1"; + | | | Generaly the first two units are + | | | fused in factory as test. + | | | + | | | + +-----------+-----+ + 32 249 --> 256 | | | + +-----------+-----+ + +Schematic of the reader +======================= + + External 5V (Optional) + +5V o------, + | / T2 PNP d13 r7 10 +0V o--, | / BC 177 |\ | _____ + | | ,-------o/ o--*------.

Since then, there have been sever- + al pleas for a compiled source of recipes, and several offers to cre- + ate such a compilation. None have yet surfaced. + + The recipes in this book are ordered by general categories, although + these are somewhat artificial and not always cohesive. For example, + Chapter 3 covers styles that do not fit neatly into another category, + yet bear little relation to each other---steam beer bears little rela- + tion to wheat beers. These styles were grouped together because there + were not enough of any one of these styles to warrant giving them + their own chapter. Chapters 7-10 are all made up of loosely-related + styles. + + This recipe compilation will hopefully be a useful source of informa- + tion that serves you long and well. (If anybody wants to do volume 2 + of this compilation, we stopped compiling recipes at issue #572). + + In several of these recipes the authors did not fully explain the + process or did not mention steps and ingredients that theyassume home- + brewers know about---for example, several recipes do not tell you to + prime with 1/2 to 3/4 cup of corn sugar, even though that is common + practice among most homebrewers on the net. Most recipes are 5-gallon + batches unless otherwise specified. If you are unsure about how any + beer is produced, we suggest consulting a general homebrewing text + such as Charlie Papazian's Complete Joy of Homebrewing (a brief bibli- + ography is provided at the end of this book). One aspect of these + recipes that we did not make consistent is the authors' choice of + hops units. Many homebrewers still prefer to measure hops by the + ounce, while others prefer to use more exact measurements such as the + AAU, HBU, or IBU. These are all related to the amount of alpha acid + in the hops; basically, 1 ounce of hops with 1% alpha is 1 AAU. If + you use 2 ounces of Cascades hops with an alpha of 5.2%, then you are + adding 10.4 AAUs of hops. (See Miller's Complete Handbook of Home + Brewing for more information about hops units or the 1990 special hops + issue of Zymurgy magazine). + + Cheers! + + Mark Stevens and Karl Lutzen + +. + + + CHAPTER 1: PALE ALE + + + + Pale ales are one of the most popularly brewed styles among Homebrew + Digest subscribers. This chapter includes the substyles India Pale + Ale, and Bitter. The pale ale style is generally brewed with 2-row + pale malt for a full mash recipe, or with light extract for the more + basic recipes. The beer is generally characterized by a light yellow + or golden color, although some will range to a coppery color (espe- + cially among India Pale Ales) depending on the types and amounts of + specialty grains added as an adjunct. These styles are typically + well-hopped, usually with Fuggles, East Kent Goldings, or perhaps + Willamette varieties. Fermentation is carried out at warmer tempera- + tures, typically 60-70 degrees. For more information about the pale + ale style, see Terry Foster's Pale Ale, Fred Eckhardt's The Essentials + of Beer Style, (both available from the Association of Brewers) gener- + al beer texts such as Michael Jackson's World Guide to Beer. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 1 + +. + + + Clara Bell + + Author: Doug Roberts (dzzr@lanl.gov) + + Digest: September 2, 1989, Issue #244 + + Ingredients: + + 7 pounds light, unhopped syrup + 1 pound Cara-pils malt, cracked + 1 pound light crystal malt, cracked + 1-1/2 ounces Hallertauer hops pellets + 1 teaspoon salt + 1 teaspoon citric acid + 2-1/2 teaspoons yeast nutrient + 2 tablespoons Irish moss + 2 packs Munton & Fison yeast + + Procedure: + + Put cara-pils and crystal malt in 2 gallon pot with 170-180 degree + water for one hour, stir occasionally.

Weisse is the lighter of the two, with + lower starting gravities and a lower wheat to barley ratio (typically + 1 to 4). Weizen is a fuller-bodied brew and will often contain equal + portions of wheat and barley malt. Hallertauer is often the predomin- + ant hops choice for wheat beer, but homebrewers regularly experiment + with traditionally English hops (such as Willamette) or some of the + younger U.S. strains. Steam beer is fermented with lager yeast at + warmer temperatures, and rauchbier shows a hint of smoke, derived from + either adjuncts such as Wright's Liquid Smoke, or from barbecuing the + malted barley. + + For more information about these styles, see Fred Eckhardt's The + Essentials of Beer Style, (both available from the Association of + Brewers), or one of the general beer texts such as Michael Jackson's + World Guide to Beer. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 35 + +. + + + Weizen?

It is a dark---almost black---brew characterized by a roast + barley flavor and a fairly high hopping rate. It is typically brewed + to a starting gravity of about 1.050. Stout is a thicker, heartier + version of porter that is usually placed in either a dry or a sweet + subcategory. The sweet stout typically contains unfermentable sugars, + such as lactose, added. Russian Imperial stouts are significantly + heavier and stronger than either of the other two substyles. Typical + stouts are brewed to a starting gravity of about 1.060 while Imperial + stouts are brewed to starting gravities in excess of 1.100. + + For more information about these styles, see Fred Eckhardt's The + Essentials of Beer Style, (both available from the Association of + Brewers), or one of the general beer texts such as Michael Jackson's + World Guide to Beer. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 44 + +. + + + Oatmeal Stout + + Author: Patrick Stirling (pms@sfsun.West.Sun.COM) + Digest: January 29, 1991, Issue #572 + + Ingredients: + + 8 pounds amber malt extract + 1/2 pound black patent malt + 1/2 pound roast barley + 1/2 pound chocolate malt + 1 pound steel cut oats + 2 ounces Eroica hops (boil) + 1 ounce Fuggles hops (finish) + Whitbread ale yeast + + Procedure: + + Crack all grains (except oats), add to 2 gallons cold water, add oats, + bring to boil.

Mead is a sublime elixir, favored + by many homebrewers for its variety and subtlety. It is, however, + much stronger than typical beers, and also takes months or years to + properly ferment and age. + + Mead flavored with apple juice is called a cyser; if flavored with + grape juices, it's called pyment; if it uses other fruit juices, it's + called melomel; it it draws it' s flavor from herbs and spices, it's + called metheglin. There are several books available on mead, the one + used by most digest subscribers seems to be Acton & Duncan's Making + Mead. + + Other beverages included in this chapter are easy recipes for making + hard cider and a couple recipes for making liqueurs. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 128 + +. + + + Basic Small Mead + + Author: Cher Feinstein (crf@pine.circa.ufl.edu) + Digest: September 30, 1989, Issue #267 + + Ingredients: + + 2-3 cloves + 2 sticks cinnamon + 2 thin slices ginger + 2-4 teaspoons orange peel + 2 pounds honey yeast + 1/4 cup vodka or grain alcohol + + Procedure: + + In a 1-gallon pot, simmer cloves (lightly cracked), cinnamon (broken), + and ginger.

Pale Ale. 1990, Brewers Publications, Boulder + Colorado, 134 pages. + + Largely geared toward the consumer who wants a knowledge of the his- + tory, evolution, culture, and techniques that make pale ale such a + revered style in Britain. Some sections describe the ingredients and + procedures for making pale ales. + + + + + + + + + 148 + +. + + + Gayre, Lt. Col. Robert. Brewing Mead. 1986, Brewers Publications, + Boulder Colorado, 200 pages. + + Most of this book is a historical look at the place of mead in his- + tory. Not a great deal of practical information, but interesting. + + + Guinard, Jean-Xavier. Lambic. Brewers Publications, Boulder + Colorado, 169 pages. + + Discussion of the history and evolution of lambic ales, includes + directory of breweries making lambic ales and recipes for homebrewers. + + + Hough, J.S., D.E. Briggs, R. Stevens, and T.W. Young. Malting and + Brewing Science. 1982, Chapman and Hall Publishing, 914 pages. + + Two-volumes detailing every step in the brewing process, from agricul- + tural techniques used in producing malt and barley through packaging + and marketing. This book is geared to the commercial brewer and + assumes a good knowledge of chemistry and microbiology. + + + Jackson, Michael. Pocket Guide to Beer. 1982, 1989, 1991, Simon and + Schuster, New York, 138 pages. + + Short, concise descriptions of breweries throughout the world along + with descriptions of the beers they make and ratings (5-star scale). + One of the few sources for original gravity and alcohol content infor- + mation on commercial beers. Great for the traveler. + + + Jackson, Michael. World Guide to Beer. 1977, 1988, Running Press, + Philadelphia, 255 pages. + + Probably the single most important book on beer available today. + Accurate and complete. Describes the history, culture, and techniques + used in the beer industry throughout the world. Describes styles of + beer that predominate in various geographic areas along with their + heritage and commercial examples. + + + Leistad, Roger. Yeast Culturing for the Homebrewer. 1983, G.W. Kent + Co., 40 pages. + + Short, but detailed discussion of how yeast can be cultured. Probably + not of interest to the beginner. + + + Line, Dave. Brewing Beers Like Those You Buy. + + A somewhat dated text from Britain that tries to emulate such note- + worthy commercial beers as Mackeson Triple Stout. Some of the recipes + can try your patience as you try to figure out what "treacle" is or + whether you should really brew with saccharine. + + + 149 + +. + + + Mares, William. Making Beer. 1988, Alfred Knopf Publishing Co., New + York, 178 pages. + + Invaluable for its advice on why not to become a commercial brewer, + this is a fascinating look at one homebrewer's life of beer. Witty + and insightful descriptions of such wondrous homebrewing experiences + as bottles bursting in the middle of the night. + + + Master Brewers Association. The Practical Brewer. 1977, Master Brew- + ers Association of the Americas, 475 pages. + + Advanced, comprehensive text covering various aspects of brewing. + Geared toward the commercial brewer, but much of the information is + useful to homebrewers as well. + + + Miller, David. The Complete Handbook of Homebrewing. 1988, Garden + Way Publishing, Pownall Vermont, 248 pages. + + Comprehensive homebrewing text that is often preferred by more + advanced brewers because it is somewhat more technical and detailed + than Papazian and better organized with a comprehensive index. + + + Miller, David. Continental Pilsner. 1990, Brewers Publications, + Boulder Colorado, 102 pages. + + Story of pilsner and similar lagers, explored through its history and + evolution.

Brewing Lager Beer. 1986, Brewers Publications, Boul- + der Colorado, 293 pages. + + Somewhat advanced text geared to the advanced brewer who wants to try + bottom-fermented beers.

The Complete Joy of Home Brewing. 1984, Avon + Books, New York, 352 pages. + + The most universally accepted reference among homebrewers. Excellent + selection of recipes.

This book will hold your hand as you begin + brewing and will take you gradually through progressively more diffi- + cult steps. Desperately cries out for an index. + + + Priest, F.G. and I.

We extend our heartiest thanks to Chris for the + effort he put into this list. According to Chris, there was once an + updated list, but one hungry tape later, and all his work was gone. + Fortunately the following work has been saved in the archives for all + to enjoy. + + INTRODUCTION + + The following lists unit prices for a sample of supplies from a number + of vendors. These are only representative data points on some of the + more common items and should help in deciding where to shop. Some + vendors sell in small quantities, and some only in large quantities, + but give bulk prices. Consult the notes following the table for ad- + dresses and information about quantities. Please send me any other + vendors you have information about so I can keep this list current. + Thanks for your support.---Chris Shenton + + SELECTION PHILOSOPHY + + I didn't include most specialty grains (or specialty items) because + they are ordered in small quantities. Prices selected are for low- + est-cost variety available; for example, if US and German Munich malt + is available, I quote the cheaper US variety. When price or amount + depends on quantity ordered, I've tried to select an amount suitable + for a couple of batches, because that's the way I would order by mail. + For example, if there are 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 Lb bags of grain, I used + the 20 Lb price because that seems like a realistic purchase quantity + --- enough for about two batches. Likewise, if there's a 6-can dis- + count on a case of extract, I quote that price, rather than the higher + per-can price. With hops, same deal: if there were 1, 2, 5, 10 oz + packs, I'd quote the 5 oz pack price. + + OTHER SUPPLIERS + + There are a couple suppliers which do not fit in the chart because + they specialize in only one item, or sell somewhat unusual items. + They are included separately from the chart and its addresses. + (Freshops is force-fit into the chart below, however). + + PERUSAL + + My guinea pig said he found the raw data too overwhelming and would + prefer a more iconic style. Therefore, I've taken my numbers (price + per quantity), and broken things into intervals, then marked them + using the familiar $, $$, $$$, $$$$ notation. Then, for each suppli- + er, I averaged the interval-measure of each available ingredient to + get an average value for all that supplier's merchandise. Presented + in an iconic form at the extreme right, this shows at a glance which + dealers are expensive (e.g.: Wine & Brew By You) and which are cheap + + + 152 + +. + + + (e.g.: Green Acres and Brew For Less [I would hope so with a name like + that! :-]). Note that this ignores unavailable ingredients, and + therefore variety/selection; companies with only a couple inexpensive + items (e.g.: Freshops) come out looking good, too. After the body of + the chart, I list the minimum, average, and maximum prices for the + items, in dollars per the quantity-measure specified in the column + heading. + + FEEDBACK + + I would be willing to maintain a list of user reports for each vendor. + Send me any comments on ones you have dealt with: price, knowledge, + quality, freshness, turn-around time, etc. I'll compile and send out + updates every now and then. If you have other vendors I didn't in- + clude, send me a line or two with the prices calculated for the ingre- + dients in this table. (I can't afford to keep current on all the deal- + ers!) + + DISCLAIMER + + Some suppliers will have inevitably been omitted. These include + places with no catalog (eg. Col. John's), places which charge for + catalogs (eg: Brass Corkscrew / Brewer's Warehouse), and places I am + not aware of. I apologize for any omissions. + + (The obligatory null-statement indicating my opinions are no one + else's.) + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 153 + +. + + + SUPPLIERS COMPARISON CHART + +Comp Extract $/Lb Malt $/Lb Hops $/oz Yeast $/pk +any St --------- --------- ---- ---- Soda +Abbr at Edme M&F Dry Klag Pale Crys Muni Casc Saaz Liqu Whit Caps +ev. e Bulk DMS Plai Ligh es tal ch Flwr Pell Cult Dry $/gr +==== == ==== ==== ==== ==== ==== ==== ==== ==== ==== ==== ==== ==== ==== +AmBr NC $$$ ____ ____ ____ $ $ $$$ $$ $$ $$ $$ ____ ____ | $$ +AmWo PA ____ $ $$ $$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ ____ ____ $$$ ____ ____ $$$$ | $$$ +BAWH MA ____ $ $$ $$ $$$ $$ $$ $$$ $$ $$ $$$ $$$$ $$$ | $$ +BBM WI $$ ____ $ $ $ $$ $ $ $$ $$ $ ____ $ | $$ +BFL IL $ $ $ $ $ $ $ ____ $$ $ $ ____ $$ | $ +BM&V MA ____ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$$ $$$ | $$ +BrHa TN $$$ $$ $$ $$ $ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $ ____ $ | $$ +CW PA $$$ $$ $$ $$ $$$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$$ ____ $$$ $$$ | $$ +Cell WA $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ ____ $$ $$ $ $$ $$ ____ $$$$ | $$ +Cros CT ____ $$ $$ $$ ____ $$$ $$$ $$$ $$ $$ $$$$ $$$ $$$ | $$$ +ECK MO ____ ____ $$ $$ ____ $$$ $$$ ____ $ $$ ____ ____ $$$$ | $$ +FH OR ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ $ ____ $ ____ ____ | $ +FHSC OR $ $ $$ $ $ $ $ $ $$ $$$ $ ____ ____ | $ +GFM CA $$ $$ $$ $$ $ $$ $$ $$ $ $$ $ $$$$ $$$ | $$ +GFSR CA $$$ $$$ $$ $$ $ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $ $$$$ $$$ | $$ +GrAc MN $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ ____ $$ | $ +HBII FL $$$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$$ $$$ $$ $$$ ____ ____ $ | $$ +HHS PA ____ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ ____ ____ $$ | $$ +HSH PA ____ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $ $$ ____ ____ $$$ | $$ +Henn NY $$$$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$$ $$$ | $$ +JHBS NH ____ $$ $$ $$ $$$ $$$ $$$ $$$ $$ $ ____ $ $$ | $$ +Joe OH ____ $$ $$ $$ $$$ $$$$ $$ $$ $$ $$ ____ ____ $$ | $$ +KMB IL ____ ____ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$$$ $$ ____ ____ $ | $$ +LOWS IL ____ $ $ $ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ $ ____ ____ $ | $ +MMHS OK ____ ____ ____ $$ $$ ____ $$ $$ $$ $$ ____ ____ $ | $$ +Mark OH ____ ____ $ $ $$ $$ $ $ ____ $ ____ ____ $ | $ +Maye NY ____ $$ $$ $ $$ $$ $$ $$ $ $$ $ ____ $$$ | $$ +OBW CA $$ ____ ____ $ ____ $ $ $$$ ____ $ ____ ____ $$$ | $$ +PF WI ____ $$ $$ $$ $$$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $ ____ ____ $$$ | $$ +S&R NY ____ $ $$ $ $$ $$ $$ $$ $ $$ ____ ____ $$$ | $$ +SBS FL ____ ____ $$ $$ ____ $$$ $$$ $$$ $$ $$ $$ ____ $$ | $$ +THB CA ____ $$ $$ $ $ $$$ $$$ $$$ $$ $$ $ ____ $$$ | $$ +TMBC MA ____ $$ $$ $$ ____ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $ $$$ $$$ | $$ +WBBY FL ____ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$ $$$$ ____ ____ $$$ | $$$$ +WM MO ____ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $$ $ $ $ ____ ____ $ | $$ +WiBr CA $$$$ ____ ____ $$ $$$ $$$ $$$ $$$ $ $ $$ ____ $$$ | $$ +Min == 1.11 1.82 1.50 1.81 0.60 0.70 0.70 0.65 0.48 0.83 3.25 1.40 0.85 +Avg == 1.58 2.47 2.32 2.60 1.01 1.15 1.17 1.11 0.81 1.37 3.81 1.87 1.37 +Max == 2.08 4.28 4.54 5.00 1.75 1.90 1.90 1.90 1.85 2.49 5.45 2.10 1.99 + + + + + + + + + + + + 154 + +. + + + ADDRESSES AND COMMENTS + + Note: + `$' indicates quantity used for the quoted price below, + `_' indicates not available or information not given + + AmBr American Brewmaster + 2940-6 Trawick Road + Raleigh, NC 27604 + 919-850-0095 + + Extract: + American Classic malt in 1.65# and 3.3# $ boilable pouches + Malt: Klages/Pale 1#, 3#, 25# $, 50#; Crystal and Munich 1# $ + Hop Flower: 2oz $, 1#, 2#, 4# + Hop Pellets: 1oz $, 1#, 2#, 4# + Discounts: %5 @ 13.2# $, 10% @ 26.4# extract & applies to other + thing's too! + Comments: Yeast culturing supplies; good discounts; quality malt + P & H: extra + Use Note: Fast service, knowledgeable staff. + + + AmWo Ambler Woodstove + Bethelehem and Butler Pikes + Ambler, PA 19002 + 215-643-3565 + + Extract: Dry is M&F 1# $ + Malt: 1# $ amounts + Hop Flower: _ + Hop Pellets: 1oz $ + Discounts: Malt --- 10% 10-25#, 25% for 55#; Hops discounted for 8oz + Comments: Brewing is not their main business; limited selection. + P & H: extra + Use Note: ?? + + + BAWH Beer and Wine Hobby + PO Box 3104 + Wakefield, MA 01880 + 617-933-8818 + + Extract: Dry 1#, 3# $, 55#; 1 can, 6 can case $ + Malt: 1#, 5#, 10#, 55# + Hop Flower: 4oz $, 8oz, 1# + Hop Pellets: 1oz + Discounts: _ + Comments: Good selection beer and wine; yeast propagation kit, keg + system + P & H: extra + Use Note: ?? + + + + + + 155 + +. + + + BBM Basement Brewmaster + 4280 N. 160th St + Brookfield, WI 53005 + 414-781-BREW + + Extract: Bulk is 3# $ heat-sealed bags of Wisconsin extract + Malt: 1# $ + Hop Flower: 4oz $ + Hop Pellets: 1oz $ + Discounts: _ + Comments: New company, not a large selection yet + P & H: extra + Use Note: ?? + + + BFL Brew for Less + P.O.

I obviously can't cover every little detail of home- + brewing here, but I have tried to give an easily followed outline of + the process, along with most of the common pitfalls faced by begin- + ners. I would welcome any comments or criticism on this section, as + it will probably appear again, in hopefully better form. + -Rob Gardner, Digest Coordinator + + 1. The first thing I recommend to the new brewer is to find a source + of brewing supplies. It may be a local brew shop or a mail order + store. Check out books on homebrew either at a library or bookstore. + The book I recommend getting is Charlie Papazian's "Complete Joy of + Homebrewing." This is easily one of the best homebrewing books around, + and it is very useful for both beginners and experienced brewers. + There are lots of other good books around, so don't worry if you can't + find this one. One caveat: stay away from books published in the UK, + as these can be confusing and/or misleading for the beginner. They + specify ingredients that aren't found in the US, and generally give + poor advice, like adding lots of sugar. + + 2. The next thing to do is buy a kit. Most brew stores sell kits + that contain everything you need to make your first batch, except for + bottles. They'll cost anywhere from $35-$60 depending on how fancy + they are. I'd recommend getting a kit that includes a 5 gallon glass + carboy as well as a plastic pail. Other useful items that the kit + might not include are thermometer and hydrometer. The kit should + include: 10 gallon plastic pail, siphon equipment, bottle filler, + bottle brush, bottle caps, bottle capper, fermentation lock, chlorine + cleaner, and perhaps ingredients. If the kit includes a carboy, it + should also include a short length of plastic hose for the "blow-by," + and a funnel. There might be some other odd items, such as a stirring + spoon. The major difference between one kit and another will be the + presence of a glass carboy, so in this article I will indicate when a + difference in technique is called for. If the kit does not include + ingredients, there are usually several kinds of malt extract to choose + from. Try to pick something not too heavy for the first time; a light + or amber ale is a very good choice. Also try to get a hopped malt + extract the first time to keep it simple. If none is available, then + get 2 ounces of fresh hops if available. Failing that, get 2 ounces + of hop pellets. + + 3. Relax, don't worry, and have a homebrew. Now you are about ready + to start brewing. If possible, it is extraordinarily helpful at this + point to find somebody who's done it before, and have them help you. + Doing this will greatly improve your chances of success the first + time, but don't worry if you can't swing it, your chances are still + pretty good. Remember to tell yourself, "Relax, don't worry, and have + a homebrew." The first time, ordinary beer will have to do, but do + try to drink homebrew whenever you brew---it will help you to not + worry. (Worrying can ruin the taste of your homebrew.) + + + + 169 + +. + + + 4. To begin, you'll need a large pot to boil the malt extract in. The + pot should be large enough to hold at least 2 gallons of water---the + bigger the better. Fill the pot up about half way (whatever that + happens to be) with water and boil it. The idea is to boil as much + water as possible, but to have room in the pot for foam that will be + produced by boiling. While the water is heating up, remove the label + from the can(s) of malt extract, and put the can(s) in some hot water + to soften the extract. When the water boils, put in the extract and + let it boil again, stirring frequently so the extract doesn't burn. + When it comes to a second boil, watch out---it has a strong tendency + to foam up and make a legendary mess on your stove. When the foam + rises, remove the pot from the fire and let it settle down a minute. + When you put it back, it will have (slightly) less tendency to boil + over, but it needs watching. + + 5. If you have hops or hop pellets, add them now, and boil the wort + (wort == unfermented beer) for at least a half hour (an hour is bet- + ter.) If you're not using hops, but instead, hopped malt extract, then + it is not necessary to boil very long---15 minutes is sufficient. + + 6. While the wort is boiling, you should sanitize everything that + will come in contact with the beer. This includes the fermentation + container, fermentation lock, utensils, everything. Sanitizing is + done by soaking in a solution of water and the sanitizing chemical + that came with your kit. A few teaspoons of household bleach in a + gallon of water is quite effective also. I generally fill a large + bowl with bleach solution and throw in everything to be sanitized. + After sanitizing, rinse well with clean water at least 3 times. No- + tice I keep saying "sanitize" and not "sterilize." Well, it would be + nice if you could sterilize, but you can't. Sterilization is very + difficult, i.e., boiling under pressure for an hour, so sanitizing is + the best we can do. Needless to say, be careful not to breath the + fumes or get any sanitizing solution in your eyes. Sanitizing might + sound like a pain, but that's only because it is. However, it's abso- + lutely the most important thing you can do to make your beer a suc- + cess. You can screw up a dozen other things, but if you keep every- + thing clean, you'll still liable to brew a good beer. But if you're + not sanitary, the finest ingredients and techniques won't help - + you'll brew quite undrinkable beer. + + 7. Now put about 2 gallons of cold water into your fermenter, and add + the boiled wort. A funnel is handy at this point if you are using a + carboy. If your boiling pot is very large, use less than 2 gallons--- + remember, we're eventually making 5 gallons. (Do not pour the hot + wort directly into a carboy without cold water in it---you are likely + to crack the glass!) If you added hops, you'll want to use a strainer + to remove them, but don't worry if you don't get them all. Now fill + your fermenter up to 5 gallons with cold water. If you're using the + plastic pail, it helps if you've previously marked where 5 gallons + occurs---a magic marker works well. If you're using a carboy, fill it + up to several inches from the top. Depending on how much water you + boiled, the temperature of the wort might be too high to add the + yeast. If so, let it cool until it is below 90 degrees F. + + + + + 170 + +. + + + 8. Now the packet of yeast may be added to the wort. If you like, + you can "start" the yeast. I usually do this to give it a "running + start" and also simply to be sure that the yeast is good. To start + the yeast, sanitize a bottle, and mix 2 teaspoons of corn sugar with a + half cup of 80 degree water, and add the yeast. Stick a fermentation + lock on top and let it sit while the wort cools. By the time the wort + is cooled, the yeast starter should be busy fermenting, and you should + see bubbles percolating through the fermentation lock. Now just dump + the yeast mixture into the wort. If you're using a carboy, be careful + when filling it with water to leave room in it for the yeast mixture. + + 9. After the yeast is added, put the lid on the plastic fermenter and + attach the fermentation lock. Don't forget to put some water in the + lock. If you're using a carboy, force the short piece of plastic + tubing through the stopper a little bit, and put it on the carboy. + Place the other end of the tube in a bucket of water. This type of + fermentation lock is known as a "blow-by," and is necessary because + the fermentation will produce lots of foam and sludge, and it has no + place to go except out. If you used an ordinary lock, it would quick- + ly fill up with garbage. In a plastic pail, there is plenty of space + for the foam to grow. + + 10. Now put the whole thing into a cool, dark, place to let it fer- + ment. Dark is important because sunlight can damage the beer. Cool + is important because beer-fouling organisms don't thrive as well at + lower temperatures. Room temperature is usually fine---about 70 de- + grees F. If you can get it to 65 or 60, that would be better. Don't + make it colder than 60, however, because then the yeast won't work + very well. (Most beginners will be using top fermenting yeast, which + works best at 60 degrees and above. Bottom fermenting yeast works + fine all the way down to freezing.) If you can't get the temperature + below 80, then you should look for a better place to keep your beer. + If you are using the carboy method, check the bucket daily for over- + flow. Signs of fermentation should appear within a couple of hours, + and by the next morning, it should be fermenting madly. + + 11. After a few days, it will start to slow down, and will finish + sometime between 4 and 10 days after you began. If you are using the + carboy and blow-by, replace the blow-by with a fermentation lock when + it stops blowing out garbage and starts blowing only bubbles. How + will you know when it's done fermenting? If you like, you can take + hydrometer readings, and wait until it stabilizes (same reading on 3 + consecutive days.) However, I've found it works just as well to ob- + serve the frequency of the bubbles in the airlock. When you watch it, + but don't see any bubbles for a few minutes, it's quite ready to be + bottled. When it finishes fermenting, you don't have to bottle it + immediately, but it's best to bottle it within 3-4 weeks of beginning. + + 12. The first step in bottling is to acquire bottles. Go to a liquor + store or bar and pay $2.50 for 2 cases of empty deposit bottles. Do + not use the throwaway kind with the screw-off tops, as these are not + strong enough. Chances are the bottles will be pretty scummy, so pour + an inch or two of strong bleach solution into each, and let them sit + for an hour. Then rinse them well, using your bottle brush if neces- + sary, and your bottle washer if you have one (see issue #1.) + + + 171 + +. + + + + A simple time saver is to go to your favorite drinking establishment + and find out from the barkeep when the distributor picks up the empty + bottles and then show up the day after to pick up the cases of emp- + ties. You will have less crud in the bottom of the bottles if you do + this. Also ask for bottles with paper labels. Soak the bottles in a + bleach solution and the labels will be floating in 12 to 24 hours. + Load your dishwasher up with your bottles, turn on the sanitize set- + ting (or `HEAT WATER'), and let run through two or three rinse cycles. + PLEASE DO NOT USE ANY SOAP. It clings to the glass. ---Ed. + + 13. If you fermented your beer in a carboy, siphon(*) the beer into + the sanitized plastic pail, and add a boiled solution of 3/4 cup corn + sugar and water. If you used the pail to ferment, then you must + "prime" the bottles with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of sugar each. This added + sugar is what produces the carbonation in the bottles. Do not use + more than 1 cup per 5 gallons or 1 teaspoon per bottle, or you risk + the danger (and social embarrassment) of exploding bottles. + + 14. Now fill the bottles with the siphon and bottle filler, and cap + them. Store at room temperature for at least a week, then try to move + the beer someplace a little cooler. (I keep mine underneath a + window.) The beer should be drinkable 3 weeks after bottling, depend- + ing on ingredients. You might want to try a bottle every week after + bottling just to taste the changes that occur. + + * siphoning: don't suck on the tube to start it, that will introduce + lots of bacteria into the beer. A good trick is to fill the siphon + with water to start it. Remember that the level of liquid in the + source container must be higher off the ground than the top of the + destination container in order for the siphon to work. + + Now don't rush to brew the second batch quite yet. Why not wait a few + weeks and see how the first turned out? That way, if you really did + something wrong, you have a chance to find out what, and avoid the + problem in the second batch. + + Good luck! + + - Rob Gardner, Somewhere in HP + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 172 + diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/catmeow2.bev b/textfiles.com/phreak/catmeow2.bev new file mode 100644 index 00000000..8f530942 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/catmeow2.bev @@ -0,0 +1,16939 @@ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + The Cat's Meow II + + Mark Stevens and Karl Lutzen, Editors + + 2nd Edition + + February 1992. + + + + + + Contents + + Introduction.........................................iii + Chapter 1 Pale Ale...................................1 + Chapter 2 Lager.....................................42 + Chapter 3 Wheat.....................................61 + Chapter 4 Steam, Smoked, Sour-Mash..................72 + Chapter 5 Stout and Porter..........................80 + Chapter 6 Barleywine and Dopplebock................136 + Chapter 7 Herb and Spice...........................147 + Chapter 8 Fruit....................................173 + Chapter 9 Scotch, Trappist, Brown and Other Ales...193 + Chapter 10 Mead.....................................217 + Chapter 11 Cider....................................233 + Chapter 12 Other....................................242 + Chapter 13 Historical Interest......................259 + Index................................................276 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + ii. + + + + + + Introduction + + This is the sequel to The Cat's Meow---it contains every recipe that was + in the first volume (February 1991), plus almost every recipe posted to + the Homebrew Digest since the first volume.

If you don't like + giner, try using nutmeg instead. This produces a very low alcohol drink, + yet well-carbonated and sweet to the taste, though not cloying.) A few + other things: Metheglin is fun to make: what I did was used honey/water + ratios suggested for a generic mead, then went to the local health-food + store and browsed in the spice section ("This smells good - grab a + handful") Nothing scientific about this---a little of this and that. + DON'T boil these herbs and spices in your wort! Instead, make a "tea" + and add that to the wort as you pitch your yeast. + + For any spices or herbs you use, never use the powdered stuff out of the + jar if you can avoid it. Powdered cloves just don't have the same taste + as whole cloves (by the way, for nutmegs: if you don't have a nutmeg + grinder, use a hammer!) + + Finally: to boil or not to boil. A friend made an unboiled mead and when + he bottled it wound up with a wax deposit on the bottom 1/2 inch in his + bottles.

Allah +Released: 9-18-92 +[----------------------------------------------------------------------------] + + Well, this article appeared in the Houston Post on + September 18, and I thought it might be of interest to some + people, so here it is: + + FCC opens local phone market + The Federal Communications Commission moved + Thursday[9-17-92] to open the $90 billion local telephone + exchange market to new competition. + FCC Chairman Alfred Sikes said the order, which requires + local exchange operators such as the regional Bell telephone + companies to offer their facilities to smaller comminications + companies, is "a historic step." + He said access to local markets was "one of the few + remaining monopoly reserves of the American telephone + business." + The decision could be a boon to such companies as + Metropolitan Fiber Systems Inc. and Teleport Communications + Group, both of which operate fiber optic networks in Houston. + Under the order, "competitive access providers" such as + Teleport will be able to install their equipment inside local + telephone company switching centers, rather than having to run + a dedicated line to a customer's building. The ruling will + allow the competitive access providers to connect directly + with long-distance carriers. + Long distance companies have a similar arrangement, + allowing interstate calls to pass through local telephone + company networks and into the home. + In a related move, the agency also adopted a new rate + structure that would allow a two-year transition to more + flexible pricing on fees charged by local service providers to + long-distance carriers. + The regional phone companies, created during the breakup + of American Telephone & Telegraph Co. in 1984, initially had + feared they might be hurt by the increased competition unless + the FCC also adopted a new pricing structure. + Analysts said the impact on regional phone company + revenues would not be felt immediately, given the FCC's + decision to phase in the new rate structure. + + What does this mean for us phreakers and hackers? + Remember the AT&T breakup? It was in the confusion + caused by this and the formation of new telephone companies + like sprint and MCi that toll phraud was "safe." I would + expect that these new phone companies + will have a lot of problems with stopping k0de abuse at first, + and probably the regional Bell companies will not be to happy + to help them. So, I would expect some positive results from + this change. +[--------------------------------------M.C.

INVESTIGATIVE PROCEDURES OF ! + ! ELECTRONIC TOLL FRAUD DEVICES ! + ! ! + ! OFF THE WALL <303> 443-3367 20 MEG ! + +------------------------------------+ + + +This section reviews the investiga tive procedures used by the Security +Department of Ma Bell. + +Most of the discussion will concern Blue Box investigations because of the +frequency of the Blue Box cases referred to law enforcement officials for +prosecution. + +The Security Department may initially discover evidence of ETF activity. This +may result from an analysis of calling patterns to particular numbers. Such +analyses may reveal abnormal calling patterns which possibly are the result of +ETF activit . Moreover, cases of suspected ETF are referred to the Security +Department from the various operating departments of Bell, from other telephone +companie , or from law enforcement officials. I some instances, detection and +indenti- fication of a calling station origin- ating suspected Blue Box tones +can be provided by use of a special non- monitoring test equipment. + +If initial indications are that there is a substantial possibility tha a Blue +Box is being used on a partic- ular line, the Security Department determines +certain information about the line. The name of the subscriber to that line is +identified, and an inventory is made of the line and station equipment being +provided to him. A discreet background investi- gation (record) is conducted +to establish the subscriber's identity. After this preliminary data is gathere +, ETF detection units are installed on the suspected line to establish +"probable cause" for further investi- gation. If the "probable cause" +equipment indicates repeated ETF activity on the line, other equipment is then +installed to document such activity. + +The "probable cause" equipment ascertains the presence of multi- frequency +tones on the subscribers end of the line which would not be present in normal +usage. The "probable cause" device now being used by some Bell central offices +register each and every application of 2600Hz tones in single-frequency (SF) +signalling and/ or 2600Hz tone followed by KP tones used in multi-frequency +(MF) signallin . As previously stated, such tones should not normally be +present on the line. + +If "probable cause" is established, other detection, indentification and +documentation equipment is installed. The primary equipment now being used is +the dialed number recorder (DNR), coupled with an auxillary tape recorder. The +DNR is activated when the suspect subscriber's phone goes "off-hook" andb +prints on paper tape the following information concerning the call: The date +and time of the cal and the digits dialed over the suspect line. Moreover, the +DNR records on the paper tape an indicator of the presenc of 2600Hz tones on +the line and the presence of multi-frequency signalling tones on the +subscriber's line. The auxiliary tape recorder is activated *ONLY* after the +presence of 2600Hz tone on the line is detected by the DNR (indicating the use +of a Blue Box) . Once the tape recorder is activated, it records the tones +being emitted by the Blue Box, other signalling tones, and the ringing cycle on +the called en . It also records a minimum amount of ensuing conversation for +the purpose o (1) Establishing that the fraudulen call was consummated (2) +Establishing the identity of th fraudulent caller. The timing duration of the +tape recorder is pre-set. A tim of one-minute (including pulsing, ringing and +conversation) is the stand ard setting; however, if the Blue Box user is +suspected of making overseas calls, the timing may be set for 2 minutes because +of the greater time required by the Blue Box user to complete the call. Upon +termination of the call, the DNR automatically prints the time of termination +and the date. It should bu pinted out that the presence of 2600Hz tones *plus* +multi- frequncy signalling tones on a subscriber's line positively estab- +lishes that a Blue Box is being used t place a fraudulent call because such +tones are not normally originated from a subscribers line. + +Once the raw data described above i gathered, the Security Department collects +and formulates the data into legally admissable evidence of crimina activity. +Such evidence will establish (1) that a fraudulent call was placed by means of +an ETF device, (2) that conversation ensued, (3) that the fraudulent call was +placed by an identified individual, and(4) that such call was not billed to the +subscriber number from which the Blue Box call originated. The evidence which +is then available consists of documents and also of expert witness testimony by +telephone company personnel concerning the contents of those documents, the +oper- ation of the Blue Box, and the oper- ation of the detection equipment. +(note- Similar techniques are used in the investigation of other forms of ETF.) + ++-------------------------------------+ +! THE PROSECUTION OF BLUE BOX USERS ! ++-------------------------------------+ + +PRESENTATION OF EVIDENCE TO PROSECUTORS +------------ -- -------- -- ----------- + + +The evidence accumulated by the Security Department is carefully review ed by +the Legal Department for the purpose of determining whether suff- icient +evidence exists to warrent the presentation of the evidence to law enforcement +officials. If the evidence does warrent such action, it is pres- ented under +appropriate circumstances to the proper law enforcement officials . In all +cases where prosecution is recommended, a professionally invest- igated and +documented summary of the case will be preparted and presented by the Security +Department to the prosecutor's office. Each case recommended for prosecution +will be prepared as completely as possible, usually necessitating little or no +pre-trial investigation for the prosecutor. The summary of the case will +include the following: + +(a) A background of the case with detaZkof the defendant's activities and a +summary of all pertinent invest- igative steps and interviews conducted in the +course of the investigation. +(b) Identification of witnesses. +(c) Synopsis of pertinent points to which each witness can testify. +(d) Description of all documents and items of evidence and the suggest- ed +order of proof showing the chron- ology of events. The physical evidence +presented will normally consist of one or more of the following: magnetic +tapes from the auxilairy tape recorder, paper tapes from the DNR, worksheets +and notes prepared in connection with the analysis of each fraudulent call, the +suspect's toll billing records covering the period during which the fraudulent +activity occured, computer printouts which established probably cause or a +statement of the source of the "probable cause", and the tele- phone company +records of equipment being provided to the suspect. + +(e) Upon request, the law applicable to the case. + + +Other pertinent Company records will be furnished under subpoena or demand of +lawful authority. If an arrest or search warrent is sought, the Security +representitives will cooperate fully and furnish affidavits required to support +the application for the warrent s, nevertheless, upon request, such +representatives will accompany the executing officers to assist in the +identification of any suspected ETF equipment found. The Security repre- +sentitive will also be available to suggest pertinent areas for interro- gation +of the persons suspected of engaging in the fraudulent activity. + + +OFF THE WALL <303> 443-3367 +Call The Works BBS - 1600+ Textfiles! - [914]/238-8195 - 300/1200 - Always Open + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/celcodez.txt b/textfiles.com/phreak/celcodez.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..b2c480ec --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/celcodez.txt @@ -0,0 +1,271 @@ + + CELLULAR PHREAKS & CODE DUDES + ============================= + By John Markoff + Wired, 1.1 (Premiere Issue), 1993 + + --------------------------------------- + Hacking Chips On Cellular Phones Is The + Latest Thing In The Digital Underground + --------------------------------------- + + + In Silicon Valley, each new technology gives rise to a new generation + of hackers. Consider the cellular telephone. The land-based tele- + phone system was originally the playground for a small group of hardy + adventurers who believed mastery of telephone technology was an end + in itself. Free phone calls weren't the goal of the first phone + phreaks. The challenge was to understand the system. + + The philosophy of these phone hackers: Push the machines as far as + they would go. + + Little has changed. Meet V.T. and N.M., the nation's most clever + cellular phone phreaks. (Names here are obscured because, as with + many hackers, V.T. and N.M.'s deeds inhabit a legal gray area.) The + original phone phreaks thought of themselves as "telecommunications + hobbyists" who explored the nooks and crannies of the nation's tele- + phone network -- not for profit, but for intellectual challenge. For + a new generation, the cellular revolution offers rich new veins to + mine. + + V.T. is a young scientist at a prestigious government laboratory. + He has long hair and his choice in garb frequently tends toward Pata- + gonia. He is generally regarded as a computer hacker with few + equals. N.M. is a self-taught hacker who lives and works in Silicon + Valley. He has mastered the intricacies of Unix and DOS. Unusually + persistent, he spent almost an entire year picking apart his cellular + phone just to see how it works. + + What V.T. and N.M. discovered last year is that cellular phones are + really just computers -- networked terminals -- linked together by a + gigantic cellular network. They also realized that just like other + computer, cellular phones are programmable. + + Programmable! In a hacker's mind that means there is no reason to + limit a cellular phone to the paltry choice of functions offered by + its manufacturer. That means that cellular phones can be hacked! + They can be dissected and disassembled and put back together in re- + markable new ways. Optimized! + + Cellular phones aren't the first consumer appliances to be cracked + open and augmented in ways their designers never conceived. Cars, + for example, are no longer the sole province of mechanics. This is + the information age: Modern automobiles have dozens of tiny micro- + processors. Each one is a computer; each one can be reprogrammed. + Hot rodding cars today doesn't mean throwing in a new carburetor; it + means rewriting the software governing the car's fuel injection + system. + + This is the reality science fiction writers William Gibson and Bruce + Sterling had in mind when they created cyberpunk: Any technology, no + matter how advanced, almost immediately falls to the level of the + street. Here in Silicon Valley, there are hundreds of others like + V.T. and N.M. who squeeze into the crannies of any new technology, + bending it to new and more exotic uses. + + On a recent afternoon, V.T. sits at a conference room in a San + Francisco highrise. In his hand is an OKI 900 cellular phone. It + nestles comfortably in his palm as his fingers dance across the key- + board. Suddenly, the tiny back-lit screen flashes a message: "Good + Timing!" + + Good Timing? This is a whimsical message left hidden in the phone's + software by the manufacturer's programmers. V.T. has entered the + phone's software sub-basement -- a command area normally reserved for + technicians. This is where the phone can be reprogrammed; a control + point from which the phone can be directed to do new and cooler + things. It is hidden by a simple undocumented password. + + How did V.T. get the password, or even know one was required? It + didn't take sophisticated social engineering -- the phone phreak's + term for gaining secret engineering data by fooling unwitting + employees into thinking they are talking to an official phone company + technician. Rather, all he did was order the technical manual, which + told him he needed special codes to enter the software basement. + V.T. then called the cellular phone maker's technical support + hotline. "They said 'sorry about that,' and asked for a fax number. + A couple of minutes later we had the codes," he recalls with a faint + grin. + + V.T.'s fingers continue darting across the keys -- he is issuing com- + mands built into the phone by the original programmers. These com- + mands are not found in the programmer's user manual. Suddenly, + voices emerge from the phone's ear piece. The first is that of a + salesman getting his messages from a voice mail system. V.T. shifts + frequencies. Another voice. A woman giving her boss directions to + his next appointment. + + What's going on here? V.T. and N.M. have discovered that every cell- + ular phone possesses a secret mode that turns it into a powerful + cellular scanner. + + That's just the beginning. Using a special program called a "dis- + assembler," V.T. has read-out the OKI'S software, revealing more + than 90 secret commands for controlling the phone. + + That's how the two hackers found the undocumented features that turn + the phone into a scanner. Best of all, the manufacturer has included + a simple interface that makes it possible to control the phone with a + standard personal computer. + + A personal computer! The most programmable of a hacker's tools! That + means that what appears to be a simple telephone can be easily trans- + formed into a powerful machine that can do things its designers never + dreamed of! + + V.T. and N.M. have also discovered that the OKI'S 64-Kbyte ROM -- a + standard off-the-shelf chip that stores the phone's software -- has + more than 20 Kbytes of free space. Plenty of room to add special + features, just like hot rodding the electronics of a late-model car. + Not only do the hackers use the software that is already there, but + they can add some of their own as well. And for a good programmer, 20 + Kbytes is a lot of room to work with. + + It is worth noting that V.T. and N.M. are not interested in getting + free phone calls. There are dozens of other ways to accomplish that, + as an anonymous young pirate recently demonstrated by stealing the + electronic serial number from a San Diego roadside emergency box and + then racking up thousands of phone calls before the scam was discov- + ered. (Such a serial number allowed the clever hacker to create a + phone that the phone network thought was somewhere on a pole by the + side of the freeway.) + + It's also possible to wander to street corners in any borough in New + York City and find a code dude -- street slang for someone who il- + legally pirates telephone codes -- who will give you 15 minutes of + phone time to any corner of the world for $10. These "dudes" find + illegally gathered charge card numbers and then resell them on the + street until telephone security catches on. The tip-off: often an + unusually large number of calls to Ecuador or France emanating from + one particular street corner. + + Then again, it's possible for you to join the code hackers who write + telephone software that automatically finds codes to be stolen. Or + you can buy a hot ROM -- one that contains magic security information + identifying you as a paying customer. Either way, your actions would + be untraceable by the phone company's interwoven security databases. + + But free phone calls are not what V.T. and N.M. are about. "It's so + boring," says V.T. "If you're going to do something illegal, you + might as well do something interesting." + + So what's tempting? N.M. has hooked his portable PC and his cellular + phone together. He watches the laptop's screen, which is drawing a + map of each cellular phone call currently being placed in our cell -- + a term for the area covered by one broadcast unit in the cellular + phone network. The network can easily query each cellular phone as + to its current location. When phones travel from one cell to the + next -- as they tend to do in a car -- information is passed on in + the form of hidden code married to the phone transmission. Since N.M. + knows where each local cell is, he can display the approximate geo- + graphic locations of each phone that is currently active. + + But for that tracking scheme to work, the user must be on the phone. + It would take only a few days of hacking to extend the software on + N.M.'s PC to do an even more intriguing monitoring task: Why not pi- + rate the data from the cellular network's paging channel (a special + frequency that cellular networks use to communicate administrative + information to cellular phones) and use it to follow car phones + through the networks? Each time there is a hand-off from one cell to + the next, that fact could be recorded on the screen of the PC -- + making it possible to track users regardless of whether or not they + are on the phone. + + Of course this is highly illegal, but N.M. muses that the capability + is something that might be extremely valuable to law enforcement + agencies -- and all at a cost far below the exotic systems they now + use. + + Hooking a cellular phone to a personal computer offers other surveil- + lance possibilities as well. V.T. and N.M. have considered writing + software to monitor particular phone numbers. They could easily des- + ign a program that turns the OKI 900 on when calls are originated + from a specific number, or when specific numbers are called. A + simple voice-activated recorder could then tape the call. And, of + course, a reprogrammed phone could automatically decode touch-tone + passwords -- making it easy to steal credit card numbers and voice- + mail codes. + + Then there's the vampire phone. Why not, suggests V.T., take advan- + tage of a cellular phone's radio frequency leakage -- inevitable low- + power radio emissions -- to build a phone that, with the press of a + few buttons, could scan the RF spectrum for the victim's electronic + serial number. You'd have to be pretty close to the target phone to + pick up the RF, but once you have the identity codes, a reprogrammed + phone becomes digitally indistinguishable from the original. This is + they type of phone fraud that keeps federal investigators up at + night. + + Or how about the ultimate hacker's spoof? V.T. has carefully studied + phone company billing procedures and found many examples of inaccu- + rate bills. Why not monitor somebody's calls and then anonymously + send the person a corrected version of their bill: "According to our + records...." + + Of course, such software hacks are probably highly illegal, and auth- + orities seem to be catching on. The Electronic Communications Priva- + cy Act of 1986 makes it a federal crime to eavesdrop on cellular + phone calls. More recently, Congress passed another law forbidding + the manufacture of cellular scanners. While they may not be manu- + facturers, both N.M. and V.T. realize that their beautifully crafted + phones are probably illegal. + + For now, their goals are more modest. V.T., for example, would like + to be able to have several phones with the same phone number. Not a + problem, as it turns out.

Well, here in 1994 we still don't +have one for sale, but the good news is that at least there are prototype wrist +cell phones materializing from one or two manufacturers. Don't hold your +breath though -- they're still prototypes. More good news, shirt-pocket sized +phones are everywhere, and their larger, vehicle-bound cousins contain more +features than ever before. + + A cellular phone works via an FM transmitter/receiver in the telephone +itself, and a network of closely spaced cells (or individual transmitters) in a +pre-set geographical area. The phone talks to its local cell transmitter, +which is in turn connected to the nearest standard telephone system. As you +move away from the cell that is currently handling your call, the cell "hands +off" the call to the next nearest cell to you, so there is no interruption in +service. + + Your local coverage area can cover as much as a 70 to 250 mile radius, +however, a technology called roaming can extend your cellular service well +beyond your local area. Roaming enables you to make and receive calls from your +cellular phone in another city, or anywhere in the U.S., Canada and the +Bahamas. All you have to do is transmit a roaming activation code when you get +to your new destination, and callers can reach you easily. In some cases +roaming is automatically switched for you, depending on your local cellular +provider. + + Prices for cellular service vary from place to place, and you can expect +to pay anywhere between $15 and $60 per month for basic service. Each local +call will cost you an additional 20-80 cents per minute, and if you make a long +distance call you will be charged extra for that as well. You are also charged +when someone calls you, so, unless you watch your talk time, cellular phone +service can get pretty expensive. Fortunately, you are not charged if you +reach a busy number (as long as you hang up within 60 seconds), or for callers +trying to reach you if you don't pick up your phone. + + The digital cellular revolution has recently emerged in some areas. This +new service can handle many more calls per cell, affords a higher quality +transmission, and features complete privacy. Current cellular phone calls can +be eavesdropped by persons with multi-band scanners. However, you will need to +buy a digital cellular phone to realize all the digital benefits. These new +phones are completely compatible with all current analog cellular systems, but +there are only a few models currently available. + +MOBILE PHONES + + The mobile phone ($99-$1200) consists of three parts: the electronics, a +box usually mounted in the truck or under the dash; the antenna, which can be +glass-mounted to the back window, or roof-mounted for the best performance; and +the handset itself, which is often located between the front driver and front +passenger. + + There are a few basic features found in almost all mobile phones. An LCD +or LED display indicates the number you're dialing, the transmission signal +strength, the elapsed time of the call in progress, and other pertinent +information. Like the backlit dialing keypad, the display is also illuminated +for night operation. A volume control is provided for the earpiece volume, so +you can hear clearly in varying sound environments. Mute, multiple call +timers, redial and a scratch-pad memory (for quickly storing information, such +as a telephone number) are cellular staples, as is an electronic lock with +password protection, so that parking attendants can't make calls to Japan using +your phone. + + In addition, don't forget about hands-free conversation -- an essential +for all mobile phones these days. Using a tiny microphone placed near your +visor, coupled with a speaker built into the phone cradle, you can converse +without taking your hand off the wheel. These systems are smart enough to know +when you want private conversation, and will cut off whenever the handset is +picked up. + + Convenience features as listed below are found on mid to high-priced +cellular fare. In some cases these features are available as options that you +can add later on. + + Call restriction takes the concept of electronic lock a step further. + Although passengers may use the phone for local calls, more expensive long + distance calls can be prohibited. + + Memory dialing works very much the same as in a conventional phone. You + press a two-digit code, and the phone will dial the appropriate phone + number. Depending upon the model you can store anywhere from 20-150 + phones numbers in memory. Some phones include one-touch speed dialing of + 1-9 numbers, and many offer Alphanumeric memory, which makes it much + easier to recall stored numbers. Instead of having to memorize a two- + digit code for each person, with alphanumeric memory, you can key in the + person's name by using the alpha-coded keys on the dial pad. + + With Voice Activated Dialing, you only have to hit a single key, and then + speak out loud to tell the phone who to dial. This feature can be found on + the more expensive phones, or as an option on mid-priced phones. + + Radio mute is extremely convenient. Whenever you receive or make a call, + your car stereo or radio volume will automatically be turned down. + + In addition, some models have Auto-Answer capability, whereby the phone + will automatically pick up on the second ring. + + A call-in absence indicator will tell you that a call came in while you + were away from the phone, a few models will tell you how many calls were + received, and still others will allow the caller to leave his or her phone + number. Some newer models even operate like answering machines whereby a + personalized outgoing message greets callers and the system allows them to + leave voice messages. + A number of manufacturers provide a horn alert feature that beeps your + horn when an incoming call is detected. + + An auxiliary telephone port comes in very handy for those times you wish + to quickly connect a notebook computer, or portable FAX machine to your + cellular phone. Some phones have this RJ-11 jack built in, and for others + it's available as an option. + + Multiple-NAM allows you to have numerous telephone numbers assigned to one + phone. This feature is convenient if you frequently travel between two or + more cities for business, and you don't want to pay long distance roaming + charges. So Multiple-NAM allows you to have a cellular telephone number + assigned to each city. Some phones have dual NAMs, others come with four + or six. + + Transportable Conversion is a unique feature that enables the car phone to + be transformed into a transportable phone via the addition of an optional + kit. Transportable phones have many of the features found in mobile + phones, the only difference is that this type of cellular phone can be + moved from place to place because the 3-watt transceiver, rechargeable + batteries, and antenna are contained in a single hardcover book-sized + package. + +PORTABLE PHONES + + Just like the miniaturization of a notebook computer results in a costlier +package, the portable cellular phone is more expensive than mobile fare. This +year's crop of portables range in weight from 11 ounces to a mere 3.8 ounces of +electronic circuits and plastic. Speaking of plastic, expect to pay anywhere +from $99 to $1500 for a portable phone. + + Because you can only cram so much transceiving power into such a small +size there is one drawback to portable use. The transceiver power is cut from +3 watts down to only .6 watts or 1.2 watts in one or two models. What this +means in real life is that you won't have the range or performance of a full 3 +watt mobile phone -- this translates into dropped calls or static from time to +time. It all depends on the area in which you live. Flat surroundings, and +markets with closely-spaced cells will offer the best performance for portable +use. + + Interestingly, due to its low wattage, a portable's battery power often +lasts longer than the older transportable type. Portable standby time will +range from about six hours to as much as 30 hours depending upon the model and +battery used. Similarly, continuous talk time can range from 30 minutes to +three hours. + + Many of the same features found in mobile cellular phones are available in +the portable, albeit some mobile features such as radio mute, and horn alert +are not likely to be found. Memory dialing will range from 30-100 stored +numbers, and conveniences such as electronic lock, call restriction, signal +strength metering, call timers, automatic answer, one-touch dialing, +alphanumeric memory, lighted display, and dial-pad, Multiple NAMs and a +scratchpad memory are all available on the portable. There is a unique new +feature on some models that consists of a vibrating system that signals you +when a call is received. This is an ideal way to be alerted to a call so that +you don't disturb others or when a noisy environment prevents you from hearing +the phone ring. + + Although portables are convenient, a more permanent approach is often +needed. Fortunately many manufacturers offer the convenience of portability +with the flexibility and range of permanent-mount installations. All you have +to do is pop your portable into a car-mounted cradle, and it's quickly +transformed into a cellular car phone. Optional car-mount kits contain a +special cradle-mount that can accept the portable phone via the use of handset +cord, or alternatively, an extra handset is provided along with a cradle in +which the portable is plugged into. Either way, the kit includes a cable for +connection to a permanent cellular antenna, and direct connection to the car's +battery power. Most manufacturers have hands-free speakerphone options, and +many offer booster kits to upgrade the portable from .6 to a full 3 watts of +transmitting and receiving power. Amenities such as voice activated dialing and +RJ-11 data jacks are also available in kit form on some models. + + When buying a portable make sure it's well-balanced in features, and +comfortable to hold. The lightest and smallest models cost the most money, and +you can pay as much as a $500 premium to save a few ounces and inches in size. + +SHOPPING AROUND + + Unlike, other types of electronics, you may notice that the suggested list +prices of cellular phones are much, much higher than the actual street prices. +This is because in return for signing up business, many cellular franchises +will offer retailers a rebate from $200-$400 for each customer sold a phone. +However, in most cases you will have to sign a service contract with the +cellular phone service providing the rebate, and that will lock you into a 60 +day to three year term. While it's true that there are only two cellular +service franchises assigned to a single cellular market, each provider may +offer different services, or cover a different number of cities or towns, so +you may not wish to be locked into any one particular company. Generally, +though prices are fairly competitive between the two providers. + + Cellular phones may also be purchased directly from the franchise itself. +This is sometimes a good deal as a free antenna and installation are sometimes +included -- a nice buy when you consider that retailers can charge anywhere +from $50 to over $150 to install a car system. + + It can't hurt to shop around. All types of discount stores, car audio +shops, telephone stores and mail order companies sell cellular phones these +days. Make sure that whoever you buy from has a good return policy, and is an +authorized sales and service center for the products they sell. If you aren't +sure whether the retailer is authorized just call the manufacturer of the brand +you're interested in, the folks in customer support will be happy to guide you +in the right direction. + +BEST BUYS + +MOBILE PHONES + +[P] Nokia 6000 (Price: $700.00 - $1199.00) The Nokia 6000 is a digital cellular +phone.

For years, mobile +radio-telephone service was an extremely limited proposition. There were only +forty-four radio channels available, and a maximum of about thirty were +assigned to any one area. That meant if all thirty channels were occupied-one +conversation per channel-and you were the thirty-first mobile phone user who +wished to make a call, you would have to wait thirty minutes or more, even in a +city the size of New York. As you can imagine, mobile radio-telephone service +like that could not become very popular. Even with the limited number of +channels, long delays in making calls during busy periods, and often poor +quality transmission, there were big waiting lists for mobile service. But +with a fully equipped cellular radio-telephone system, it is possible to make +5000 times as many calls simultaneously in the same metropolitan area, opening +up the service to anyone that can pay the hefty prices. + + That is because cellular radio-telephones systems are technically quite +different from traditional mobile telephones. First, the FCC (Federal +Communications Commission) has allocated far more channels to cellular, 666 in +all. Second, those 666 channels are broadcast from many different locations. +In the old mobile telephone systems, there was one powerful radio station with +a large antenna that served an entire city. In the new system, a geographical +area is honeycombed with many cells, hence the name 'Cellular'. Each cell has +its own low-powered radio transmitter and receiver. As a car with a cellular +telephone or a person carrying a portable moves from one cell to the next, the +call is transferred automatically. You're unlikely to notice when this +transfer takes place, even though your phone is suddenly switched to a +different radio station and to another channel while you are talking. + + Because the cellular signal is low-powered, it doesn't go very far. This +permits the same channel you are talking on to be used for calls in other parts +of the same metropolitan area without interference. This would mean cellular +radio-telephone systems can serve a very large number of customers in an area +because there are more channels than before-and the larger number of channels +are reused. + + Unlike local telephone service, which is provided by a monopoly, there is +competition in cellular. Two classes of companies are allowed to offer +cellular telephone service in every market. One cellular system can be owned +by a telephone company, the other by someone else. The two-company rule was +adopted by the FCC so that AT&T, which developed cellular, could not monopolize +the whole thing. + + Cellular Telephones come in two basic versions, as car phones and portable +phones, with a briefcase hybrid. Car phones are by far the most common, +because they are much cheaper. But most believe that, ultimately, portables +will be the most popular. Washington Post Company president Richard Simmons, +whose company is a partner in several cellular systems, even predicts that by +the early 1990's "There will be phones roughly the size of a calculators that +you carry around in your pocket. They will cost no more than five hundred +dollars. They will emancipate people from the necessity of locating a phone to +make calls. The bad news is, you will never be able to get away from the phone, +and we'll call it progress." + + Car telephones include a small transmitter-receiver unit that is usually +mounted in the trunk, an antenna and a control head that includes the handset. +In most cellular systems, the telephone touchpad is located on the handset. +Many domestic and foreign manufacturers make cellular car phones, but so far +only Motorola makes portables, the DYNA T-A-C 8000X and 8000S. Motorola's +portables look like a slightly enlarged, somewhat chunky telephone handset, +with a stubby antenna at one end. + + Portables are less powerful than car units, so they can't be used with some +cellular systems. The portable's other limitation is battery life. A portable +can listen for calls for about eight hours, but it can only transmit for only +thirty minutes. After that time it must be charged for a minimum of an hour. + + The following American cities have cellular telephone service or soon will +get it: + + New York Denver + Los Angeles Seattle + Chicago Milwaukee + Philadelphia Tampa + Detroit Cincinnati + Boston Kansas City + San Francisco Buffalo + Washington Phoenix + Dallas San Jose + Houston Indianapolis + St. Louis New Orleans + Miami Portland + Pittsburgh Cleveland + San Diego Atlanta + Baltimore Minneapolis + -------------------------------------------------------------- +% + + + + + + THE ELECTRONIC SERIAL NUMBER: A CELLULAR 'SIEVE'? + 'SPOOFERS' CAN DEFRAUD USERS AND CARRIERS + + by Geoffrey S. Goodfellow, Robert N. Jesse, and Andrew H. Lamothe, Jr. + + +What's the greatest security problem with cellular phones? Is it privacy of +communications? No. + +Although privacy is a concern, it will pale beside an even greater problem: +spoofing. + +'Spoofing' is the process through which an agent (the 'spoofer') pretends to +be somebody he isn't by proffering false identification, usually with intent +to defraud. This deception, which cannot be protected against using the +current U.S. cellular standards, has the potential to create a serious +problem--unless the industry takes steps to correct some loopholes in the +present cellular standards. + +Compared to spoofing, the common security concern of privacy is not so severe. +Most cellular subscribers would, at worst, be irked by having their +conversational privacy violated. A smaller number of users might actually +suffer business or personal harm if their confidential exchanges were +compromised. For them, voice encryption equipment is becoming increasingly +available if they are willing to pay the price for it. + +Thus, even though technology is available now to prevent an interloper from +overhearing sensitive conversations, cellular systems cannot--at any +cost--prevent pirates from charging calls to any account. This predicament is +not new to the industry. Even though cellular provides a modern, +sophisticated quality mobile communications service, it is not fundamentally +much safer than older forms of mobile telephony. + +History of Spoofing Vulnerability + +The earliest form of mobile telephony, unsquelched manual Mobile Telephone +Service (MTS), was vulnerable to interception and eavesdropping. To place a +call, the user listened for a free channel. When he found one, he would key +his microphone to ask for service: 'Operator, this is Mobile 1234; may I +please have 555-7890.' The operator knew to submit a billing ticket for +account number 1234 to pay for the call. So did anybody else listening to the +channel--hence the potential for spoofing and fraud. + +Squelched channel MTS hid the problem only slightly because users ordinarily +didn't overhear channels being used by other parties. Fraud was still easy +for those who turned off the squelch long enough to overhear account numbers. + +Direct-dial mobile telephone services such as Improved Mobile Telephone +Service (IMTS) obscured the problem a bit more because subscriber +identification was made automatically rather than by spoken exchange between +caller and operator. Each time a user originated a call, the mobile telephone +transmitted its identification number to the serving base station using some +form of Audio Frequency Shift Keying (AFSK), which was not so easy for +eavesdroppers to understand. + +Committing fraud under IMTS required modification of the mobile--restrapping +of jumpers in the radio unit, or operating magic keyboard combinations in +later units--to reprogram the unit to transmit an unauthorized identification +number. Some mobile control heads even had convenient thumb wheel switches +installed on them to facilitate easy and frequent ANI (Automatic Number +Identification) changes. + +Cellular Evolution + +Cellular has evolved considerably from these previous systems. Signaling +between mobile and base stations uses high-speed digital techniques and +involves many different types of digital messages. As before, the cellular +phone contains its own Mobile Identification Number (MIN), which is programmed +by the seller or service shop and can be changed when, for example, the phones +sold to a new user. In addition, the U.S. cellular standard incorporates a +second number, the 'Electronic Serial Number' (ESN), which is intended to +uniquely and permanently identify the mobile unit. + +According to the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) Interim Standard +IS-3-B, Cellular System Mobile Station--Land Station Compatibility +Specification (July 1984), 'The serial number is a 32-bit binary number that +uniquely identifies a mobile station to any cellular system. It must be +factory-set and not readily alterable in the field. The circuitry that +provides the serial number must be isolated from fraudulent contact and +tampering. Attempts to change the serial number circuitry should render the +mobile station inoperative.' + +The ESN was intended to solve two problems the industry observed with its +older systems. + +First, the number of subscribers that older systems could support fell far +short of the demand in some areas, leading groups of users to share a single +mobile number (fraudulently) by setting several phones to send the same +identification. Carriers lost individual user accountability and their means +of predicting and controlling traffic on their systems. + +Second, systems had no way of automatically detecting use of stolen equipment +because thieves could easily change the transmitted identification. + +In theory, the required properties of the ESN allow cellular systems to check +to ensure that only the correctly registered unit uses a particular MIN, and +the ESNs of stolen units can be permanently denied service ('hot-listed'). +This measure is an improvement over the older systems, but vulnerabilities +remain. + +Ease of ESN Tampering + +Although the concept of the unalterable ESN is laudable in theory, weaknesses +are apparent in practice. Many cellular phones are not constructed so that +'attempts to change the serial number circuitry renders the mobile station +inoperative.' We have personally witnessed the trivial swapping of one ESN +chip for another in a unit that functioned flawlessly after the switch was +made. + +Where can ESN chips be obtained to perform such a swap? We know of one recent +case in the Washington, D.C. area in which an ESN was 'bought' from a local +service shop employee in exchange for one-half gram of cocaine. Making the +matter simpler, most manufacturers are using industry standard Read-Only +Memory (ROM) chips for their ESNs, which are easily bought and programmed or +copied. + +Similarly, in the spirit of research, a west coast cellular carrier copied the +ESN from one manufacturer's unit to another one of the same type and +model--thus creating two units with the exact same identity. + +The ESN Bulletin Board + +For many phones, ESN chips are easy to obtain, program, and install. How does +a potential bootlegger know which numbers to use? Remember that to obtain +service from a system, a cellular unit must transmit a valid MIN (telephone +number) and (usually) the corresponding serial number stored in the cellular +switch's database. + +With the right equipment, the ESN/MIN pair can be read right off the air +because the mobile transmits it each time it originates a call. Service shops +can capture this information using test gear that automatically receives and +decodes the reverse, or mobile-to-base, channels. + +Service shops keep ESN/MIN records on file for units they have sold or +serviced, and the carriers also have these data on all of their subscribers. +Unscrupulous employees could compromise the security of their customers' +telephones. + +In many ways, we predict that 'trade' in compromised ESN/MIN pairs will +resemble what currently transpires in the long distance telephone business +with AT&T credit card numbers and alternate long-distance carrier (such as +MCI, Sprint and Alltel) account codes. Code numbers are swapped among +friends, published on computer 'bulletin boards' and trafficked by career +criminal enterprises. + +Users whose accounts are being defrauded might--or might not--eventually +notice higher-than-expected bills and be reassigned new numbers when they +complain to the carrier. Just as in the long distance business, however, this +number 'turnover' (deactivation) won't happen quickly enough to make abuse +unprofitable. Catching pirates in the act will be even tougher than it is in +the wireline telephone industry because of the inherent mobility of mobile +radio. + +Automating Fraud + +Computer hobbyists and electronics enthusiasts are clever people. Why should +a cellular service thief 'burn ROMs' and muck with hardware just to install +new IDs in his radio? No Herculean technology is required to 'hack' a phone +to allow ESN/MIN programming from a keyboard, much like the IMTS phone thumb +wheel switches described above. + +Those not so technically inclined may be able to turn to mail-order +entrepreneurs who will offer modification kits for cellular fraud, much as +some now sell telephone toll fraud equipment and pay-TV decoders. + +At least one manufacturer is already offering units with keyboard-programmable +MINs. While intended only for the convenience of dealers and service shops, +and thus not described in customer documentation, knowledgeable and/or +determined end users will likely learn the incantations required to operate +the feature. Of course this does not permit ESN modification, but easy MIN +reprogrammability alone creates a tremendous liability in today's roaming +environment. + +The Rolls Royce of this iniquitous pastime might be a 'Cellular Cache-Box.' It +would monitor reverse setup channels and snarf ESN/MIN pairs off the air, +keeping a list in memory. Its owner could place calls as on any other +cellphone. The Cache-Box would automatically select an ESN/MIN pair from its +catalog, use it once and then discard it, thus distributing its fraud over +many accounts. Neither customer nor service provider is likely to detect the +abuse, much less catch the perpetrator. + +As the history of the computer industry shows, it is not far-fetched to +predict explosive growth in telecommunications and cellular that will bring +equipment prices within reach of many experimenters. Already we have seen the +appearance of first-generation cellular phones on the used market, and new +units can be purchased for well under $1000 in many markets. + +How High The Loss? + +Subscribers who incur fraudulent charges on their bills certainly can't b +expected to pay them. How much will fraud cost the carrier? If the charge is +for home-system airtime only, the marginal cost to the carrier of providing +that service is not as high as if toll charges are involved. In the case of +toll charges, the carrier suffers a direct cash loss. The situation is at its +worst when the spoofer pretends to be a roaming user. Most inter-carrier +roaming agreements to date make the user's home carrier (real or spoofed) +responsible for charges, who would then be out hard cash for toll and airtime +charges. + +We have not attempted to predict the dollar losses this chicanery might +generate because there isn't enough factual information information for anyone +to guess responsibly. Examination of current estimates of long-distance-toll +fraud should convince the skeptic. + +Solutions + +The problems we have described are basically of two types. First, the ESN +circuitry in most current mobiles is not tamper-resistant, much less +tamper-proof. Second and more importantly, the determined perpetrator has +complete access to all information necessary for spoofing by listening to the +radio emissions from valid mobiles because the identification information +(ESN/MIN) is not encrypted and remains the same with each transmission. + +Manufacturers can mitigate the first problem by constructing mobiles that more +realistically conform to the EIA requirements quoted above. The second +problem is not beyond solution with current technology, either. Well-known +encryption techniques would allow mobiles to identify themselves to the +serving cellular system without transmitting the same digital bit stream each +time. Under this arrangement, an interloper receiving one transmission could +not just retransmit the same pattern and have it work a second time. + +An ancillary benefit of encryption is that it would reasonably protect +communications intelligence--the digital portion of each transaction that +identifies who is calling whom when. + +The drawback to any such solution is that it requires some re-engineering in +the Mobile-Land Station Compatibility Specification, and thus new software or +hardware for both mobiles and base stations. The complex logistics of +establishing a new standard, implementing it, and retrofitting as much of the +current hardware as possible certainly presents a tough obstacle, complicated +by the need to continue supporting the non-encrypted protocol during a +transition period, possibly forever. + +The necessity of solving the problem will, however, become apparent. While we +presently know of no documented cases of cellular fraud, the vulnerability of +the current standards and experience with similar technologies lead us to +conclude that it is inevitable. Failure to take decisive steps promptly will +expose the industry to a far more expensive dilemma. XXX + + +Geoffrey S.

If the system uses OMNICELLS, as +most do, you can readily find all the channels in a cell if you know just one +of them, using tables constructed with the instructions below. + + Cellular frequencies are assigned by channel number, and for all channel +numbers, in both wireline and non-wireline systems, the formula is: + + Transmit Frequency = (channel number x .030 MHz) + 870 MHz + Receive Frequency = (channel number x .030 Mhz) + 825 Mhz + + "Band A" (one of the two blocks) uses channels 1 - 333. To construct a +table showing frequency by cells, use channel 333 as the top left corner of a +table. The next entry to the right of channel 333 is 332, the next is 331, +etc., down to channel 313. Enter channel 312 underneath 333, 311 under 332, +etc. Each channel across the top row is the first channel in each CELL of the +system; each channel DOWN from the column from the the first channel is the +next frequency assigned to that cell. You may have noted that each channel +down is 21 channels lower in number. Usually the data channel used is the +highest numbered channel in a cell. + + "Band B" uses channels from 334 to 666. Construct your table in a similar +way, with channel 334 in the upper left corner, 335 the next entry to the +right.

The cell base sites are towers (usually blue) with a +triangle shaped "head" on top, and sporting a couple of what appear to be +vertical antennas. These base sites have a range of 3-5 miles. If you take a +look at the honeycomb diagram, you can see how they are laid out. The cell +transmitter is in the middle of the cell. It is possible to hear many, most, +or all of the cells in your city, depending on your location. The closer you +live to a boundary, the greater the chances of your being able to receive more +cells. Due to the nature of radio signals, the actual cell shape is more or +less round. However, the hexagon shape lends itself better to show how the +system is laid out. With a circular coverage area, there will be some +overlapping between adjacent cells. + + __ __ + \__/C \__/D \__ + \__/G \__/A \__/ + _/D \__/E \__/F \__ + \__/B \__*C \__/ + _/F \__/G \__/A \__ + \__/D \__/E \__/ + _/A \__/B \__/C \__ + \__/ \__/ \__/ + + If, for example, you live near the asterisk (*) in the above diagram, you +will be able go easily hear the G, C, E, and A cells you're near. Since the +maximum _practical_ range of a cell is 3-5 miles, you'll be able to hear them +a bit farther away. However, due to the nature of the FM transceivers at the +cell sites (they capture only the _strongest_ signal), you should be able to +hear all seven cells. Which _one_ of each cell you hear will depend on your +location and the strength of the received signal. In the above diagram, +you'll most likely hear the F cell in the upper right, rather than the one on +the left. + + Mobile reception is almost a waste of time unless you have an outdoor +antenna. And, since the mobile will be repeated on the cell site, it's better +to listen to the cell frequencies. You may not be able to hear both sides of +the conversation if you listen only to the mobile frequencies!!! It is useful, +however, for determining which channel cell you're in. If you use the antenna +that came with the scanner, mobile range will be decreased down to 1 or 2 +miles. By checking the scanner readout against the cell list above +(825.030-844.980 MHz), you can tell what cell the mobile is in. This is also +useful on the cell site frequencies. If you hear someone say, "I'm at the +corner of highway FF and 37," and you know where the cell site antenna is in +that area, you can check the frequency listing above and determine what cell +that antenna belongs to. + +=============================================================================== + + The Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 and CMT + +=============================================================================== + + The ECPA, passed in 1986, is partly responsible for the extreme interest +in CMT monitoring. After all, if you tell someone they can't listen to these +phone calls, they'll immediately want to do so. "There must be _something_ +going on there that's either interesting or important. Why else would they +want to keep us from listening?" seems to be the predominant reaction. + + Be assured that it is illegal under the ECPA to listen to cellular phone +calls. This law was passed mainly to satisfy the CMT manufacturers. They can +now tell their customers that their conversations are 'protected by federal +law.' However, when this law was drawn up, it was obviously felt to be too +narrow in its views, since it protected only one service. So it was amended +to include various services, such as microwaves, some satellites, broadcast +STL links (studio-transmitter links), and the descrambling of scrambled +signals. + + However, from the very beginning, the government has shown an extremely +bored attitude when it comes to the ECPA. There is virtually no attempt at +enforcement, unless it's a case involving blackmail, or an overt attempt is +being made to provide radios with CMT-specific frequencies. In the latter +case, a dealer was modifying the radios he was selling. After a government +visit, he agreed not to modify the radios, but he was allowed to include +instructions on how to make the modification. With the Pro-2005 and Pro-2005, +this consists of opening the radio and clipping one diode, an operation that +takes all of 15 minutes, including disassembly. + + What does all this mean? You can receive any frequency you wish. There +is literally no way to tell what you're listening to in the privacy of your +home. Your scanner (as well as EVERY radio) _does_ transmit an extremely +small amount of RF energy from the local oscillator, but unless the radio is +in very bad shape, that energy won't go past 40 or 50 feet. The "gummint" +would have to drive around in detection vans with beam antennas, and with +100,000 scanner owners, it's an extremely good bet that they're not even going +to consider thinking about the merest possibility that someone might put this +idea forward to be comtemplated. They've got more important stuff to worry +about. What it comes down to is this: listen to whatever you want to, but +don't divulge it or use the information for personal or illegal gain. That +will get you into deep doo-doo in double-quick time. + + Most people have the opinion that if it's unscrambled, and it's passing +freely through their home and body, that they have the right to receive it. +This sounds like good solid thinking. The laws of this land provide for just +compensation to individuals. Perhaps a few bills to CMT companies for +transmission rights would help to remove this silly law from the books. + +=============================================================================== + + The Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 + +=============================================================================== + + February 2, 1987 + + + TITLE 18 - CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE + + PART I.

The problem is, most of them don't know about it. I +will attempt here to describe in very non-legalistic and general terms +(extremely difficult for a lawyer), exactly what listening is legal and what +is illegal. + + Section 2511 of the Federal Criminal Statutes (18 U.S.C.) is where most of +the action is in this field. The statute is primarily a wiretap and bug +statute and only recently has been expanded to include radio listening. I +will not be discussing the provisions dealing with oral communications or +wiretaps and bugging devices here. + + The statute starts out by saying that it is illegal to intentionally +intercept, disclose or use the contents of any wire or electronic +communication. The statute then goes on to carve out exceptions to this +general rule. + + It is important to understand what the law means by wire or electronic +communication. A wire communication is any communication over a telephone or +other wire. However, the definition specifically includes cellular telephones +and excludes cordless telephones (even though both involve the use of radio +and wire transmission). An electronic communication includes all radio +transmissions, but excludes cordless telephones and pagers. + + After making a blanket prohibition of intercepting all electronic (i.e. +radio) transmissions, the statute lists the exceptions. The first exception +is that it is legal to listen to all radio transmissions which are "readily +accessible to the general public." This term is defined in the statute to +mean radio signals which are (1) not encrypted, scrambled, carried on a +subcarrier or other signal subsidiary to a radio transmission; (2) not +transmitted over a common carrier communications system (such as the phone +company); (3) not special transmissions such as point-to-point private relay +transmissions for the broadcast services, not meant for reception by the +general public. + + The next exception to the general rule is that it is legal to listen to +all radio broadcasts "relating to ships, aircraft, vehicles or persons in +distress." The statute also says that it is legal to listen to a broadcast by +any governmental, law enforcement, civil defense, private land mobile or +public safety communications system, including police and fire, which are +readily accessible to the general public. It is also legal to listen to +transmissions on the amateur bands, citizens band or general mobile radio +services as well as any marine or aeronautical communications system and +cordless telephone transmission. + + Finally, it is not illegal to intercept satellite transmissions of cable +programming as long as the transmission is not encrypted, there is no monetary +gain by the viewer, and there is no marketing system available (meaning no one +is selling the rights to view the programming via satellite). + + There is also an interesting section of the statute which may provide a +loophole for lawyers defending clients charged with a violation of this law. +The statute says that it is not illegal to intercept a radio transmission +which is causing interference with any lawfully operating station (including +ham radio operators), or is causing interference with any consumer electronic +equipment, to the extent necessary to identify the source of the interference. +I can see a lawyer arguing that his client was only listening to that cellular +telephone transmission because it was interfering with his client's reception +on the 23 centimeter band. + + After all of the exceptions are carved out, the bottom line is that the +only radio frequency transmissions which are off limits are those which are +not readily accessible to the general public, as that term is defined in the +statute. The definition of "readily accessible to the general public" is +stated in the statute as follows: + + (a) not scrambled or encrypted; + + (b) not transmitted using modulation techniques whose essential + parameters have been withheld from the public with the intention of + preserving the privacy of such communication; + + (c) not carried on a subcarrier or other signal subsidiary to a radio + transmission; + + (d) not transmitted over a communication system provided by a common + carrier, unless the communication is a tone only paging system + communication; + + (e) not transmitted on frequencies allocated under part 25; subpart + D,E, or F of part 74; or part 94 of the Rules of the Federal + Communications Commission, unless, in the case of a communication + transmitted on a frequency allocated under part 74 that is not + exclusively allocated to broadcast auxiliary services, the + communication is a two-way voice communication by radio. + + The first two of these are no problem. If the signal is scrambled, +law-abiding DXers will leave it alone. Paragraph (c) begins the real +restrictions on DXers. Under the statutory definition, signals on a +subcarrier, such as the types being experimented with in television at the +moment, are not readily accessible to the general public and are not permitted +listening. + + The next section poses the greatest problem for DXers. Under the +definition, any signal, other than a tone, which is transmitted by a common +carrier is off limits. The FCC defines a common carrier as "any person +engaged in rendering communication service for hire to the public." (47 CFR +21.2) The statutory definition given in 47 U.S.C. 153(h) is a bit more +specific in that it specifically excludes radio broadcasters who, through sale +of commercials, do render a communication service for hire. But, even with +the removal of broadcasters, this definition is very broad and will include, +beyond obvious services such as cellular telephone, just about every utility +station on the face of the earth. + + The types of radio transmissions made off limits to DXers by paragraph (e) +are certain satellite communications, certain microwave communications, and +auxiliary stations to broadcasters used for such things as feeds from the +mobile van back to the studio or from the studio to the transmitter. The +frequencies of these services are all above 1 Gigahertz except for the bands +928-929 MHz and 944-960 Mhz. The exception to this is the frequency +assignment given to remote broadcast pickup stations under subpart D of part +74. This service, which is off-limits to DXers, is assigned bits and pieces +of the radio spectrum from 1606 kHz through 455.925 Mhz. Twenty-six +frequencies in the shortwave bands are allocated to this service. The +allocations are scattered between 25.87 Mhz and 26.47 Mhz, but unless you have +a copy of the FCC Rules and Regulations, there is no easy way for a DXer to +know that listening to these transmissions is a federal offense. + + This is precisely why I maintain that this law is unenforceable. In order +for a prosecution under 18 U.S.C. 2511 to be successful, the government must +prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the DXer intentionally intercepted a +protected transmission. Since even attorneys are unsure what frequencies are +off-limits, how can the government hope to prove that a DXer who happens upon +one of these federally-legislated minefields in the radio spectrum, actually +intended to do so? + + It should be noted that the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 605) has +not been repealed by the new law. It is still illegal, as it has been since +at least 1934, to divulge the contents of any transmission except for general +broadcast stations, amateur radio and CB transmissions, and transmissions +relating to ships, aircraft, vehicles or persons in distress. A recent case +(Edwards v. State Farm Insurance Co., 833 F.2d 535) concluded that in order to +prove an offense under this statute, the speaker must have held a subjective +expectation of privacy that was justifiable under the circumstances. + + I hope that this brief trip through the legal maze of communications +privacy has been useful. I can see the day coming when some industrious +lawyer, defending a client of means, decides to challenge this unjust law. The +basis is very simple. Just as there is no Fourth Amendment right of privacy +where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy, so too there should not +be a statutory right of privacy where anyone with a receiver can listen in. +To use an analogy, the providers of cellular service want the right to parade +down Main Street with no clothes on and then prosecute anyone who looks. This +is simply unfair and unrealistic. + + And beyond that, our First Amendment freedom of speech has a corollary +freedom to be informed and to gather information. This freedom must extend to +the spoken as well as the printed word, as long as no reasonable expectations +of privacy are violated. Anyone with a receiver should be entitled to hear +anything which is broadcast in the clear over the "public" airwaves for the +simple reason that it is not reasonable for anyone to transmit in this manner +and expect this transmission to be private. An expectation of privacy can +only be achieved by scrambling the signal, not by governmental decree. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +FRANK TERRANELLA is an attorney, ham radio operator and short wave listener +(not necessarily in that order). + + +=============================================================================== + + Modifying two scanners for cellular reception + +=============================================================================== + + The word "modifying" in this case is wrong. That implies that there is a +_conversion_ process whereby you can cause your scanner to suddenly begin +receiving cellular mobile telephone calls. This is wrong thinking. A scanner +that is _designed_ to receive those frequencies above 512 MHz can have those +frequencies RESTORED (_sometimes_). A scanner that covers from 30-512 MHz can +NEVER receive 800-900 MHz frequencies without the aid of an external RF +converter. Many times you will see messages from people asking how to modify +such-and-such a receiver to pick up CMT. The sad truth is, the answer is $$$, +as that's what it will take to get a new scanner that covers those +frequencies. + + Some older scanners (most of them in fact) have no modifications so that +they will cover these frequencies. There may be cosmetic changes, such as the +addition of an S-meter, or squelch or tone improvement, but there will never, +ever be anything that can be done to most of them to make them cover CMT. The +PRO-2004/2005/34 receivers originally had those frequencies, but had them +blocked out. Restoring those frequencies was simply a matter of _unblocking_ +them. There was really no "modifying" taking place. If a scanner was never +intended to cover 800 MHz, it never will. You can get RF converters that will +convert 800-912 MHz down to 400-512 MHz, however, and these should work on all +scanners. + +MOST SCANNERS CANNOT BE MODIFIED OR CHANGED TO RECEIVE THE CMT FREQUENCIES. + + There are a handful of exceptions to this. It started out with the +Realistic PRO-2004 and the PRO-34, and went to the PRO-2005. To restore CMT +for the 2004, open the radio and turn it upside down. You'll see a large +metal box. Carefully remove the cover. Find diode D-513. It may be in the +line of diodes, or it may be on the bottom of the PC board, in which case +you'll have to VERY carefully remove the board. In either case, the cure is +the same. Clip one leg of D-513 to restore CMT frequencies. + + If you're careful, you can unsolder this diode and place it in the empty +spot at D-510. That will give you 400 channels instead of 300. + + For the PRO-2005, the procedure is the same, except you clip one leg of +D-502 to restore cellular reception. In the 2004, put a 1N914 diode in D-514 +and you'll increase your scan/search speed by 25%. Watch your diode polarity! +For the PRO-2005, it's D-501, which is on the display board behind the +keyboard. Adding D-504 to the PRO-2005 will DELETE 66-88 MHz coverage -- TV +channels, radio control, etc., so don't add D-504!!!! As far as is known, +there is no channel expansion capability on the order of the PRO-2004 for the +PRO-2005. 400 channels appears to be its limit. + + The PRO-34 handheld can also have CMT restored, and all can be modified to +receive 6,400 channels (3,200 on the PRO-34), but that's beyond the capability +of this article. I could have typed in the directions for restoring CMT to +the PRO-34, but you really need pictures to go with the modification. The +original article was in "Popular Communications." All these are described in +great detail in the "Scanner Modification Handbook" by Bill Cheek, available +from CRB Research Books, Inc., PO Box 56, Commack, New York, 11725. It's +$17.95 + $2.00 postage and handling, but is well worth the price due to the +treasure trove of info that's in it. + +=============================================================================== + + How to discover other scanner modifications + +=============================================================================== + + HOW TO 'DISCOVER' THOSE NEAT RADIO MODIFICATIONS + + by Bob Parnass, AJ9S + + How do the people that discover modifications to radios go about finding +them? Good question! + + The first rule of thumb is to obtain service manuals, as they contain more +than just troubleshooting information. For example, the alignment procedure +outlined in the Regency K500 and M400 service manuals describes how to +circumvent the frequency limit checking firmware, which allows out of band +frequency programming. The Uniden 200/205XLT service manual describes a +keyboard sequence that clears most of the 200 memory channels, and loads the +others with bizarre test frequencies. + + Service manuals often describe the circuit changes in models intended for +export to other countries. This can reveal features disabled for some +customers but enabled for others. + + A good library of IC and semiconductor data books is very helpful, +although radio service manuals can also include IC internal diagrams. Old TTL +databooks are no longer enough. The transition to surface mount components in +radios like the Uniden/Bearcat 760XLT is motivation for acquiring data books +for leadless components. + + Although some modifications involve discovery of "hidden" features, many +others involve designing new circuitry or applying old circuitry from another +radio. I can't claim credit for many "add/delete a diode" modifications, but +here are the factors that accounted for a few other modifications. + + ***** Recognize Common Radio Circuits ***** + +Modification: Improve the squelch on the PRO-24, PRO-2004, 800XLT, etc. +Motivation: Unsatisfied with stock performance. + + Almost all modern scanners use MC3357, MC3359, or Japanese pin equivalent +chips, which contain the IF, squelch, limiter & discriminator circuitry. +Older Bearcat and Regency scanners, like the BC300 and M400, often hid the +identity of their IC with "house numbers" painted over them. I compared these +ICs pin for pin with the MC3357 and other known radio ICs to unmask their true +identity. Having the Motorola IC data sheet and scanner service manuals made +learning the chip internals easy, so I found the way to decrease hysteresis +involved changing one resistor. + + ***** Be Curious ***** + +Modification: Trick the Icom R-71A to tune below 100 kHz. +Motivation: Curiosity. + + Tried manipulating several front panel controls at the same time to see if +I could confuse the microprocessor into doing something neat. I did. + + ***** Study the Schematic, Look for Unused Pins ***** + +Modification: Double the memory in the R-7000 (also published by another + radio hobbyist). +Motivation: curiosity. + + I studied the schematic of the R-7000, and looked up the memory IC in a +data book. Icom grounded an address lead, so only 1/2 the chip capacity was +used. Not having enough time to try the idea on my own radio, I suggested the +idea Jack Albert, who writes the RTTY column in "Monitoring Times", who used +his R-7000 as a guinea pig. + + ***** Borrow Circuits from Other Radio Models ***** + +Modification: S-meter circuit for Bearcat scanners (unpublished). +Motivation: wanted to use scanners for transmitter hunting. + + I looked for other radios that used the same IF/squelch chip and already +featured S-meters (like the Kenwood TR- 2600A, IC-28A, IC228H, etc.) I grafted +their S-meter circuitry to my scanners. + + ***** Vary Parameters and Measure the Impact ***** + +Modification: Speed up the R-7000 scan rate. +Motivation: dissatisfied with stock performance. + + I studied the radio schematic, found the components that determined scan +rate, and substituted various values of resistance, measuring the affect of +each change. + + ***** Apply Simple Theory ***** + +Modification: COR light for the PRO-2004. +Motivation: make scanner easier to use in a roomful of other active radios. + + Having studied the schematics of many scanners, I was familiar with FM +receiver and scanner circuitry. I used service manual and found the proper +point in the circuit where a logic level signal was produced depending on +whether a signal was absent or present. Again, the PRO-2004 used a popular +IF/squelch chip.

Unscrew the screws holding your desktop telephone handset together. Remove +the ear piece speaker and microphone from the plastic moulding and cut +the wires connected to them. + +2. Now solder the 30cm long lengths of wire onto the existing handset ear +piece speaker and microphone wires. Once you have done this, simply re-solder +the ear piece speaker and microphone onto the extended handset wiring. + +3. Place the extended handset ear piece speaker over the mouth piece on your +cellular telephone and wrap in masking tape. This will not only hold the +extended handset ear piece speaker in position, but also prevent background +noise problems. + +4. Now place the extended handset microphone over the ear piece on your +cellular telephone and wrap in masking tape as above. + +* How to use the device: + +Basically, what you have done is turned your desktop telephone into an +accoustic coupler type device. To use the device, simply follow the +instructions below. + +1. Plug your telephone doubler socket into your telephone socket. Plug +your desktop telephone into one socket and your modem line into the other +socket. + +2. Leave your telephone handset off the hook until your line is completely +dead. (i.e. after you have listened to "please replace the handset and try +again" or something similar about 10 times. + +3. Dial the modem dialup you wish to call on your cellular phone and +press SEND as you would normally. + +4. Type ATD into your terminal package and press return. Your modem should +now be off the hook and waiting for a carrier signal from your cellular +telephone. + +* Diagram of device: + __ + : : + : : + ________:__:_ + ______ : : + / : /:: ::::: : + / :---+ +--------------: :: ::::::: : ear piece + / :-+ : : +------------: :: ::::: : + : ____: : : : : \:: _________ : + : / : : : : : : : : + : : : : : : : :_________: : + : : : : : : : : + : : : +-- : : ---------+ : [1][2][3] : + : : +---- : : -------+ : : [4][5][6] : + : : : : : : : [7][8][9] : + : : : : : : : [*][0][#] : + : : : : : : : _ _ _ : + : \____ : : : : : [_][_][_] : + : : : : : : /:: : + \ :-------+ : : +-: :: ::: : microphone + \ :---------+ +---: :: ::: : + \______: \:: : + : :_____________: + : + : cellular telephone + : + + desktop telephone + handset + +* How it works: + +The carrier signal from the remote modem will be sent out of your cellular +telephone ear piece speaker and into the desktop telephone handset +microphone. Your modem will receive any data send into the desktop telephone +handset after the ATD (off-hook) command has been issued. + +In the same way, any carrier signals from your modem will be sent out of the +desktop telephone handset earpiece speaker and into your cellular telephone +microphone. + +At the time of writing, I have not connected at speeds higher than 1200 baud +due to the low quality of anologue cellular network telephone lines. I would +expect that those using transportable cellular phones (such as the Motorola +4800 and 6800 series) should have no problems connecting at 2400 baud or +higher. + +I did not write this text file so that people could use it to transfer large +amounts of data at high speed. This is simply a guide to explain how easy +it is to use any cellular telephone with a modem. 1200 baud may be slow, +but it is fine for hacking, calling your favourite underground BBS or +transfering text files --- especially if you are not paying for it! + +If anyone has any suggestions or comments, leave feedback to 'Phantasm' +on UnAuThOrIsEd AcCeSs BBS. + +<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> + + + diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/cellphrk.txt b/textfiles.com/phreak/cellphrk.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..73a0cd01 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/cellphrk.txt @@ -0,0 +1,126 @@ + + + ________________________________ + /// \ +||| Cellular Phreaking | +||| Written by: | +||| The Bootlegger | +||| | +||| Distributed by: | +||| Thirteenth Floor Enterprises | +||| | + \\\________________________________/ + +6/85 +\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\ + + Though not written specifically for + 13th Floor Enterprises, the members of + the 13th Floor believed the information + to be very interesting and, thus, should + be distributed. + +\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\ + + +O.K.

Service is +largely limited to cities in developed countries. + +Phone cells can greatly expand this service, while developing the +critical technology of miniature spacecraft components for the 21st +century. The biggest markets are travellers and wealthy third +worlders, who number tens of millions despite being a small % of the +total -- in Russia, India, China, Brazil, Mexico, Iran, Indonesia, +Thailand, Turkey, Eastern Europe, etc. that have no cellular service. +Cellsats can also usefully serve international air and ocean lines. +At least initially, it won't compete with existing cellular service. +The market is universally (well, globally :-) available cellular +service, at a higher cost. How much higher depending on how many +people sign on ... the old chicken and egg story. If everybody signed +on, it would actually be much cheaper than the current local cell +system, but these companies do not count on that to happen initially; +the systems can pay for themselves by opening new niches. + +The cost of the most publicized system, Iridium, is projected at $3 +billion. If one out of every five thousand people on our planet make +$300 worth of phone calls a year for ten years, the system pays for +itself. Initially this would be mostly business, not personal use (as +was the case for city cellular when it started out). For this market +the price will be about twice as high as the current city cellular. +If the market expands well beyond 1/5,000 of the world population, the +price can go below that of current urban markets, supplanting the +thousands of towers with a more efficient set of radio cells projected +from space. Concievably, with an expanded set of satellites the price +of cellular service could drop well below the price of current +international long distance, replacing GEO satcoms altogether for this +$10 billion/year market. Initially, the technology will be quite +properly marketed at the 90% of the Earth's surface currently without +cellular service. + +IRIDIUM + +Here are the Iridium specs.

Since the scale is small, new technology +can be incorporated and tested with small risk. Thus, there is no +need to stick with old electronic technology used in the larger GEO +satcoms. Lockheed will be in charge of developing the satellite bus +and choosing the launcher. Motorola will develop the communications +payload and make and market the cellular phones. + +* Choosing a launcher capable of boosting test and replacement +satellites into their unique orbits for less than $10 million, as well +as a launcher for the main satellites, from one to seven at a time, +for less than $8 million apiece. Currently Pegasus costs $10 million +and fits the first bill, although with only one good launch under its +belt it needs to prove its reliability. Delta or Atlas launching +Iridium in groups of six could fit the second bill, and a rumored +Russian competitor to Pegasus might be able to launch singlets for +less than $8 million. OSC needs to finish the Pegasus' hydrazine +stage to improve the orbital insertion accuracy. The development of +Pegasus' low entry-level-cost capability was a main driver behind the +inspiration and genesis of Iridium and several other emerging small +satellite industries. + +* The Iridium Consortium must obtain a set of frequencies in all the +countries in which it wants to market its service. Phone cell +satellites have obtained frequency from WARC and now each proposal +must compete at national government levels. + +* New members must be added to the Iridium consortium; Motorola and +Lockheed probably won't pay all the $3 billion on their own. The +finance folks are busy talking to people like AT&T, NTT, and dozens of +other deep pockets. Whoever puts in the most money could very well +gain control over the world's cellular phone industry. + +GLOBALSTAR + +This information is from Klein Gilhousen of Quallcomm, Inc., which is +teamed with Loral and several European companies on Globalstar: + +There will be 24 satellites in LEO (750 nm) in the initial deployment +with coverage optimized for the U.S. Later, when international +agreements are in place, the constellation will be expanded to 48 +satellites, providing global coverage and improved coverage and +capacity over the U.S. + +The system uses NO intersatellite relays. (I believe that these +relays are a prime cost driver of the Motorola approach and that they +would solve a non-existent problem. The problem is to connect mobile +users into the network. Period. Global routing of phone calls is +something that we already have.) By virtue of have no crosslinks, the +satellite is significantly smaller and cheaper than the Iridium +system. + +Total launch mass of one satellite is 262 kg. Eight satellites would +be stacked and launched at once by a Delta, Ariane, or other standard +launch vehicle. + +Airtime charges are projected to be in the same range as cellular +service. According to the filing, initially, the airtime would be +$0.31/minute with a monthly access fee of about $24. Later on, +charges would fall to about $0.22/minute. + +The mobile phones will be based on CDMA digital cellular phones with +RF adaptors to make them work in the L and S bands of the satellite +system. Thus, the cost would be that of a CDMA cellular phone, plus +maybe ten to twenty percent for the adaptor. + +The system would offer call capacity comparable to that of the Iridium +system's satellite network with many fewer and less costly satellites +through the use of the CDMA technology. Because a much smaller +investment is required, the service cost will be correspondingly +smaller. + +CONCLUSION + +Thinking small -- thinking at the optimum economical scale of +technology, instead of the idealistic scale of technology -- is one of +the major paradigm advances of phone cell satellites. The Iridium and +Globalstar breakthrough is a good example of why industry is needed to +set the standards for space technology, instead of government +dictating to industry. Private industry is far more in tune both with +the advance of technology and the needs of people. Government +civilian programs have practically ignored -- spent less than 1% of +their budgets on -- the technology needed for this lucrative market. +Private industry is putting up its own money to fill this gap. + + +szabo@techbook.COM + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/cellular.phk b/textfiles.com/phreak/cellular.phk new file mode 100644 index 00000000..a8632c8a --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/cellular.phk @@ -0,0 +1,127 @@ +^S^Sv celluar lar phreaking +________________ + /// \ +||| Cellular Phreaking | +||| Written by: | +||| The Bootlegger | +||| | +||| Distributed by: | +||| Thirteenth Floor Enterprises | +||| | + \\\________________________________/ + +6/85 +\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\ + + o Though not written specifically for + 13th Floor Enterprises, the members of + the 13th Floor believed the information + to be very interesting and, thus, should + be distributed. + +\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\ + + +O.K.

This list is taken from +the very same pubs. that are used by our DMV and SSN offices and therefore is +very accurate (less any mistakes made in the transcription). It is fairly easy +to use, and I have found it to be useful in many situations as well. + + 1). To figure out someone's age by their ssn (CA SSN only on this list), just +match the two middle numbers (IE.-xxx-XX-xxxx) with the chart below. The top +line of the chart lists the year of issue for each ssn series. After you have +figured out the year of issue for their ssn, then just subtract '16' from the +year of issue and you will have a good 'estimate' of their birth year. + + Example: 552-50-xxxx was issued in 1954, therefore they were probably born +in 1938. Let's say that you want to know the birth date for xxx-57-xxxx, which +is not on the chart- Most SSN's after 1978 were issued in segments of four/yr. +xxx-53-xxxx for 1978; and- xxx-57-xxxx for 1979; xxx-61-xxxx for 1980, and so +on through xxx-97-xxxx in 1989.*^<-[+4 for each yr.]->^* -In 1990 of course +came the 1st of the 6xx-xx-xxxx series to be issued, although I am not yet sure +how the new series is being issued-... YET! anyways. + +Here's the chart: + +Area] [19**] [****** Year Social Security Number Issued ******] [19**] +SS#|]54*55*56*57*58*59*60*61*62*63*64:65*66*67*68*69*70:71*72*73*74*75*76*77*78*

If you are in the GTE service +area- push <1114> or <1141>. What should happen then is a voice recording of +that telephone's number where you are calling from. It is extremely useful in +locating a particular line at say an apartment bldg. or other place where there +are ALOT of tel. lines to sort through, or when you are at a number that you +want to know, but for various reasons don't or *shouldn't* know it. + + 2> Customer's Name and Address/Locality Office - CN/A Number. This office is +set-up for determining a telco. customers name and address, when only the phone +number is known.

For the name and address of +ANY customer in these NPA's, you need only their telephone number. You then call +415/781-5271 M-F, 7am to 5pm and give the cna operator their number. If you are +out of state your acct. code is 2826, if you are within CA., then your account +code is 1659. They will probably ask you for this code so have it handy when +you call them.

Of course, Visa and M/C have some as well. + + Citibank, First Interstate Bank and Bank of America all have their own AC's +available to their merchants. There are however many other AC's that provide the +same types of services to their merchants. It is the merchant who is 'really' +providing the services though. It is the merchants responsibility in most cases +to determine that a credit card is valid. On top of that they are also even +offered a whole $50 if they assist in the conviction of anyone suspected of +using a stolen/forged card. $50!! Hardly worth it, so most don't even try.... + + One of the quickest ways a card is checked is by accessing an AC through a +card reader. Verifone is perhaps the largest mfg. of these devices, which are +used by most retail stores or restaurants for CC verifications. + + The telephone no. that is called using one of these card readers is the +first one in which I've listed below. You can also log onto this "carrier" via a +a modem, but I've yet to figure out what the necessary input is to utilize this +service on my computer. A touch tone phone suffices however, and the required +input is listed below for using this particular AC (Authorization Center). + + One other thing to note here is that whenever you are at a store/merchant +and using a shady (at best) card, be especially alert to the merchant and/or +cashier when they are getting verification of the transaction. If they use +the telephone and voice in the request for the authorization, then listen +for "Code-10", and if you hear them say this at any time- GET THE HECK OUT!! + + If they use a card reader for the transaction and get something like "CALL +CENTER" on the read out, then remain calm and ask what the problem is, and if +at anytime they are out of sight or on the phone with the center for +any prolonged amount of time, then again- GET OUT OF THERE!! + + A "code-10" is a merchant's signal to an authorization center that they are +suspicious of the card user. If you are using an AMEX, then run out of there +twice as fast, because AMEX calls the police from their authorization center. +V/MC don't usually call the police, but AMEX will use stall tactics while the +police are on the way. (One way is to ask to speak with you and then ask you +some rather lengthy detailed questions, like primary cardholders name, SSN & +Mother's Maiden). You can always just look out the window and exclaim, "Hey! +someone's stealing/towing my car!" and then leave pronto!.... + +** Use the following telephone nos. before going into ANY store to use a card. +They are worth the extra minute or so to be sure that the card is still valid! + + 1>. + 800/228-1111 = On-Line Auth.

The main colour determines whether it is tip or ring while + the stripe identifies it's pair (i.e. a black wire with a blue stripe is + tip of pair 11). In many cables the stripe is missing in which case the + pairs are distinguished by the way they are twisted, by pulling back the + sheath pairs are more obvious. + + As you can see there are only 5 tip colors and 5 ring colours (5 + x 5 = 25). a 100 pair cable is made up of four of these 25 pair bundles. + The first bundle is wrapped by a white/blue binder string, the second by a + white/orange binder, the third by a white/green and the fourth by a + white/brown. This scheme can be extended infinitum. + + Some folks think that the order is: + Pair Tip Ring + 1 RED GRN + 2 YEL BLK + 3 BLU WHT, + and that the 1st pair was backwards in a modular connector compared to the + rest. + + Wrong. The polarity is off. Modular connectors reverse the polarity + so they make the issue pretty confusing. A modular line cord (that is a + properly made _telephone_ line cord) has a flat topology such that when + laid on a table the top of both connectors is up. This means that a + reversal (polarity wise) takes place. Tip becomes ring on all pairs (the + wire is a ribbon in theory). the top of both connectors is up. A 'set' + jack (the one inside the telephone) is wired backwards to compensate. + + In addition, the system employed throughout the (used-to-be) Bell + System was actually very simple. There wer five colors assigned to "tip" + and five colors assigned to "ring". This gives a total combination of + twenty-five pairs (very convenient!). + + The colors assigned to the "tip" are; + + white wt + red rd + black bk + yellow yl + violet vi + + The colors assigned to the "ring" are; + + blue bl + orange or + green gr + brown br + slate sl (sometimes mistakenly called gray) + + Standard phone convention is to identify the "tip" first and then the + "ring" when referring to a pair. Thus, the first five pairs of a telephone + cable are the "white" pairs; + + white/blue wt/bl + white/orange wt/or + white/green wt/gr + white/brown wt/bn + white/slate wt/sl + + The next five are the "red" pairs: + + red/blue rd/bl + red/orange rd/or + red/green rd/gr + red/brown rd/bn + red/slate rd/sl + + And so on, until all twenty five pairs are identified. What happens + when there are more than twenty-five pairs in a cable? Simple, enclose + each twenty-five pair group in a color coded binder. And guess what the + color coding is for the binder. Yep, the same as the wires in the binder. + The first binder group is the "white/blue" binder the second is the + "white/orange" binder, and so on. If it is necessary to refer to the + twenty-sixth pair of a fifty pair cable it is referred to as "two + white/blue" or 2-wt/bl. The seventy-ninth pair in a one-hundred pair cable + is called "four white/brown" or 4-wt/bn. This all holds true for the first + twenty-four binders in a cable. The twenty-fifth binder is a little + different, and my recollection is a little hazy but I believe the binder + colors are white-white-blue. Yes that's two whites and a blue. It might be + two blues and a white. It's been a long time since I was in a cable over + six hundred pairs. One thing I know for sure is that they double up on one + of the binder colors after the twenty-fourth binder group. + + There is also a convention for the positioning the pairs on + connecting blocks. The Ring is usually on the Right and the Tip is + usually on the Top. As you can see there is a pattern here, Ring-Red- + Right and Tip-Top. I guess this was done to make it easier for us dumb + installers to remember! |-) + + The only difference in the color coding between telephone cable (the + stuff used outside and strung along poles or underground in conduit) and + telephone inside wiring (the gray colored stuff in the walls and up in the + ceiling) is that the inside wire has each pair traced with the color of + its mate. That is, the first pair is a white wire with a blue tracer and + its mate is blue with a white tracer. This is done to avoid "splitting" a + pair. Splitting is getting the ring of one pair and the tip of another. + In outside phone cable each pair is twisted with its mate and the chances + of splitting a pair are not as great (although it's been known to happen + ;-)). + + With wiring done inside a house, a little history is in order. Back + when we had party-lines,(I know, we still do, but very few still in + service and none available for new service) three wires were necessary + because a ground was required to make the bell ring. So, the original + phone wiring had three conductors, red, green and yellow. Red and green + were ring and tip respectively and yellow was the ground. Then people + started getting away from party lines and into princess and trimline + phones with lights in the dial. The yellow was no longer the ground and a + black wire was added and the yellow and black were used to supply power + for the lamps from a small transformer. Time marches on, and now people + are getting second lines installed in their homes. Since the new phones + get the power for their lamps from the phone line directly, the yellow + and black are now "spare". The yellow is usually the ring and black is + the tip. Of course, houses that have been pre-wired with six-pair inside + wire would normally have line 1 on the white/blue pair and line 2 on the + white/orange pair. In many pre-wire installations I have found that the + sixth pair (red/blue) was used for transformer power, although I don't + believe that was ever an official practice. + + Written by: Egghead Dude Edited by: The Conflict + Golf City BBS + CHiNA Node #5 + + Hope you enjoyed this one, and once again, look for more!

CLASS is short for (C)ustom (L)ocal (A)rea (S)ignalling (S)ervice. + CLASS is a new state of the art communications advancement that can add +security and convenience to your daily life (says Bell). +Features of CLASS Calling Service are: + + * Automatically redial the last + number that called you. + + * Automatically redial the last + number you dialed. + + * Automatically display the phone + number of an incoming call-with + the help of an additional piece + of equipment. + + * Automatically forward all your + calls to another location. + + * Automatically forward calls from + up to three specific telephone + numbers to another location. + + * Automatically give your phone a + distinctive ring for calls from + up to three telephone numbers + you select. + + * Automatically give your Call- + Waiting tone a distinctive sound + for calls from up to three phone + numbers you select. + + * Automatically reject threatening + or unwanted calls from up to three + telephone numbers. + + * Automatically trace the telephone + number of the last call you + received, and have it forwarded + to the telephone company. + + + + My area has been chosen to participate in an important one year trial of + CLASS Calling Service. My home was one of the 65,000 area households that are + connected to this special network. The Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, area is the + first in the entire country to introduce CLASS Calling Service. + Generally, CLASS Calling Service will work on telephone service other than + party lines, trunks, and fortress phones. CLASS features may only be used if + both the called and calling telephone numbers involved are located within the + selected areas. + To help people in my area become familiar with the new CLASS Calling + Service, Bell of Pennsylvania has prepared a separate, recorded message + describing each of the services, and demonstrating what its special tone(s) + sounds like. Call the listed numbers to hear useful announcements. + + Automatic Recall 717/221-0066 + Automatic Call Return 221-0069 + Distinct Ring-Call Wait. 221-0061 + Usage Call Forwarding 221-0072 + Selective Call Forwarding 221-0063 + Selective Call Rejection 221-0060 + Customer Originated Trace 221-0057 + Delivery Blocking (Caller ID)221-0067 + + + + CLASS features cannot be used if a pay phone is making the calls. The + Caller ID lets you view the telephone number of an incoming call before you + answer it, with the help of a separately provided place of equipment. The +7-digit number attempting to reach you will be delivered to your display + equipnent, as your telephone begins to ring. If the call is from within a + multi-line or four party/muli-party service, only the "main" telephone number + will be displayed. If the call is from a private telephone number-or if a + listed caller has chosen to prevent his or her number from being displayed the + call will be displayed as such. If the call is from outside the CLASS Calling + Service trial area, or from a "public" pay phone, the call will be identified + as such. All CLASS commands on a touch tone phone are preceded by hitting the + "*", then the numbers on the phone to activate the features. + During the first few weeks of our trial with CLASS calling there were alot + of fuck ups made by bell. Some commands didn't work properly. Using one + command activated another command that wasn't programmed to be functioning. + Also for awhile the Caller ID display units service was discontinued.

(01/03/85) + +After a long day on the job,social worker Betty Johnson returns to her +Harrisburg, Pa., home to find the telephone ringing. Before she reaches the +phone, the caller hangs up. But Johnson doesn't fret. She just punches three +buttons and the instrument returns the last call received. Later, the +telephone rings again. A small box flashes the caller's number. It's an +acquaintance who loves nothing better than to complain. Rather than listen to +the gripes, Johnson just leaves the phone on the hook. + +This is no futuristic fantasy. Johnson is benefiting from a remarkable new +telephone service that could soon be available to telephone subscribers +nation-wide. It's called CLASS -- for Custom Local Area Signaling Service -- +and it takes telephone service to new levels of utility and convenience. + +Suppose you're tired of being pestered by a salesman. In the new world of +CLASS, you can tell the telephone company never to put through calls from that +number again. When someone dials you from that station, there will be a +recording telling him that his call has been blocked. Should you wish to give +some parties special priority, you can ask the telephone company to use a +different ring when they call. + +GREATEST THING +-------------- +CLASS, which is currently being tested in Harrisburg and Orlando, Fla., also +lets the telephone company easily trace annoying calls. Through she pays an +extra $7 to $10 a month for the full package of CLASS services, Johnson calls +it "the greatest thing since sliced bread." + +Bread it's not, but with CLASS and a host of other new services that have come +to market since the breakup of AT&T, the 22 newly independent Bell operating +companies (BOC's) are trying to bring in the dough. With state regulators +restricting rates for basic telephone service, the local operating companies +need these bells and whistles to provide badly required revenue growth, says +Richard Eichhorn, an executive at Bell Atlantic, which controls most local +telephone service in the Mid-Atlantic states. + +The search for new services is made possible by a revolution in technology. +Today, a growing number of the switches used by the telephone company to +complete your calls are actually giant computers that work at rates far faster +and cheaper than was previously possible. By converting voices or data into +computer language, or "digital codes," as it is known, the telephone system's +transmission quality is also being improved significantly. In addition, +fiber-optic cable, with the capacity to transmit 125,000 simultaneous telephone +conversations through a thin glass strand, is being installed throughout the +network. + +One of the hottest new gimmicks is a reincarnation of the nearly extinct party +line. Named Phone-a-Friend or Talkline in some states, this service allows as +many as 10 people to speak together on the phone. In New Mexico, Mountain Bell +offers two "Open Line" numbers-one for teenagers, one for adults. The charge +for Albuquerque residents: 20 cents for the first minute, 10 cents each extra +minute. At least two couples have heard a different sort of ring -- that of +wedding bells -- as a result of meeting through party-line service. + +For all of the allure of CLASS and its brethren, the most remarkable advances +will involve data, rather than voice, communications. Come January, Pacific +Bell will begin testing a device that converts a single phone line into two +voice and five data channels. Called Project Victoria, this engineering tour +de force not only expands the number of voice conversations that can be handled +on a line but it may make services such as electronic shopping, home banking +and utilty-meter reading by remote control economical for the first time. + +USHERING IN THE FUTURE +---------------------- +Such services are a precursor to the phone system of the future, a global +computerized network that will make it dramatically easier, cheaper and quicker +to transmit sound, data and video images. The Integrated Services Digital +Network (ISDN) will, for example, let an architect transmit drawings to a +colleague overseas almost instantly while they carry on a conversation. +Illinios Bell will install the first ISDN system in the U.S. -- for McDonald's +Corporation headquaters -- next year. The network will allow the fast-food +giant to send thousands of messages between telephones, data terminals, +personal computers and facsimile machines without costly rewiring of its +offices. + +Soon it will even be possible to assign calling numbers to individal customers, +rather than to their home or office telephones. Your personal account number +will travel with you wherever you go. By just dialing in the number at the +nearest telephone station, callers will be able to reach you regardless of +where you are. + +Before these exotic new services can be made publicly available,local and +long-distance phone companies, equipment makers and foreign telecommunication +authorities must reach agreement on ISDN standards. Moreover, the BOC's and +AT&T must win Federal Communications Commission approval to offer computerized +services through their networks. For many business users, the new world of +telephony should bring great cost savings and productivity dividends. + +How quickly the innovations spread to the home will depend on consumer taste +and budget. The question, says Gary Handler of Bell Communications +Research-and-development support to the BOC's, is not whether these services +are technically possible, but whether the consumer will want them. "We don't +want to build white elephants," says Handler.

Advertising campaigns emphasize such aspects as low rates +and operator assistance, but no one mentions a factor that will affect modem +users who use auto dialers for long distance calls. Not all of the alternate +long distance carriers provide called party answering supervision on all calls. +Called party answering supervision basically has the telephone company start +billing only when the called party answers the telephone. However, many of the +alternate long distance companies still operate with the "fixed timeout" basis +for charging. That is, if a call is held for a fixed length of time (usually 30 +seconds) the charging starts, whether or not the call was answered. This could +cause modem owners large bills if they use autodialers to make long distance +calls. Modems are usually set up to wait up to one minute when attempting to +make a call, and thus have to timeout through busy signals, long call setup +sequences, extender waits, and similar problems. This could result in many +billed but never answered calls. + + Some of the other carriers provide it on calls to some cities, and others not +support it at all. Only AT&T Communications provides called party answering +supervision on all calls to all points at this time. It is almost impossible to +get information on how a long distance company charges its calls as as they +don't want to reveal how their billing is handled. The alternate carriers get +called party supervision when the destination location goes equal access. +However, there has been no quick action on the part of the alternate long +distance companies to make use of the supervision data as they would have to get +equipment for passing the information back to the billing computer at the +originating point. Thus called party answering supervision information often +ends up being ignored by these carriers even when available. Another point to +remember is that called party answering supervision's availability depends on +whether the destination has equal access, not the originating location. The +lower long distance rates of alternate long distance rates must be weighed +against the time out problem as it affects autodialing modems. One way to +circumvent this is merely to set your modem to a shorter waiting-for-connect +time, but this may not provide enough time for the call to go through.

What the hell, and WHERE did this synthesized voice come from? + + Let's make this phile short and to the point a COCOT is an acronym for +Customer Owned Coin Operated Telefone in other words, a COCOT is a fone +OWNED or RENTED by a PAYING CUSTOMER (most likely, a hotel or donut shop) a +COCOT is NOT a normal payfone the Telco doesn't own it, and the actual fone +line is usually a normal customer loop (unlike payfones, where the fone line +is a "special" payfone loop, allowing the use of "coin tones" to indicate +money dropped in more on this later) SO!..A COCOT may LOOK and SMELL like +a telco payphone, but it is NOT. + +* Why do COCOTs exist? + + Simple $$$$$$$! A customer owned payfone is money in the bank! You pay +MORE for local calls and long distance is typically handled by sleazy +carriers that offer bad/EXPENSIVE service the owner/renter of the COCOT opens +the coinbox and keeps the money him/herself! Also, a particularly SLEAZY +quality of a COCOT is the fact that it DOES NOT RECIEVE INCOMING CALLS this, +of course, is because of $$ if people are calling IN to a COCOT, the COCOT +is not making money and businesses always want to make as much $$ as +possible...even if it hurts the consumer (think about it..it REALLY sucks +calling someone at home from a COCOT, then not be able to have him/her call +you back to save $$ "Guess I'll have to keep feeding the COCOT quarters!") + +* Where is a good place to look for COCOTs? + + Outside Dunkin Donut shops, restaurants, clubs, bars, and outside/inside +hotels "convenient" locations + + +* How do I figure out if I have found a COCOT? + + Simple a COCOT will have NO TELCO LOGOS on it no New England Telephone +symbols it may look just like a Telco fone chrome, with blue stickers and +all that ALSO a COCOT typically charges MORE for a local call than a regular +Telco payfone (in Massachusetts, local calls are a dime, in places like NYC, +they are 25 cents.) a COCOT will most often have a synthesized voice that +asks you to "please deposit 25 cents" or whatever ALSO some FaNcY COCOTS +will not look like payfones at all some in hotels have weird LCD displays +and look totally different but the ALWAYS charge you more than a normal +payphone. + +* OK, I found this weird payphone in Boston that wants a quarter, and this + synthesized voice is harassing me when does the phun begin? + + + + + + + + + + +-RL-----------------------------------------------------------------Page 2 +. + Soon..first of all, you must understand that the COCOT is a mimic. +Essentially, it wants you to think that it is just a plain ol' payfone pick +up the handset..hear that dialtone? hah! that dialtone is fake, synthesized +by the innards of the COCOT you are at the mercy of the COCOT. Remember +a COCOT runs off of a normal customer loop so unlike a Telco payphone where +you must deposit money to generate coin tones that are read by the CO, the +security of a COCOT depends solely on the COCOT fone itself its as if you +took your own fone and put a sign on it saying "Please put 10 cents in this +jar for every call you make." COCOTS are not naiive they won't let you near +the unrestricted dialtone until you fork over the cash-ola heh heh. Or so +they THINK! + + See, the Achilles heel of the COCOT is the FACT that ALL PAYFONES MUST LET +YOU MAKE 1-800 CALLS FOR FREE! It's not just a fact, it's the LAW so, now +pick up the handset again and place a 1-800 call any 1-800 number will do. +When they answer at the other end, just sit there do nothing ignore them. +wait for them to hang up the fone here's an example. + + + +..... "Hello, you wanna buy some money? Hello? HELLO?!" + + + + + +......DIALTONE! + + NOW!.what have we got here? a dialtone? yes, you guessed it, the dialtone +you now hear is the UNRESTRICED dialtone of the COCOT's customer loop. + +* So what?..So I got an "unrestricted dialtone"...big deal? + + Meathead! with an UNRESTRICTED dialtone, all you need to do is place a call +via DTMF tones (the tones a touch-tone keypad generates) now, try dialing a +number with the COCOTs keypad WHOA! waitasec, no sound! this is a typical +lame attempt at protection by the COCOT. Just whip out your Radio Shack +pocket tone dialer, and try calling a number ANY number place it just as +if you were calling from a home phone call a 1-900 sex line call Guam you +are FREE and the COCOTs customer loop is being billed! + + +***NOTE: some COCOTS are more sophisticated at protecting themselves..some +will RESET when they hear the dialtone to get around this, make a loud +hissing sound with your mouth into the mouthpiece after the 1-800 number hangs +up also, get your tone dialer ready near the mouthpiece when u hear the +dialtone, quickly dial the first digit of your number to call if you hiss +loudly enough, you MAY be able to mask the sound of the dialtone and prevent +the COCOT from resetting and once you dial the first digit of the number +you are calling, the dialtone will disappear (naturally) ok, you can stop +hissing like an idiot now finish dialing your PHREE fone call. + + Also, some COCOTs actually disable the handset after a call hangs up +(in other words, you can't send DTMF tones thru the mouthpiece) oh well, +better luck next time. + +-RL-----------------------------------------------------------------Page 3 +. + +HOWEVER MOST of the COCOTs I have run across ONLY disable the DTMF keypad.. +so all you need is a pocket dialer to circumvent this! + +OTHER THINGS TO KNOW: Sure, you can't call a COCOT, but it DOES have a number +to find out the COCOT's number, call 1-800-933-3258..this automated ANI +service will tell you the number you're dialing from now, try calling the +COCOT from another fone you will hear one of 2 things: + + 1) synthesized voice "Thank you"...CLICK.. + 2) weird carrier + +A COCOT's number is ONLY used by the company that BUILT the COCOT by calling +up a COCOT, a tech. can monitor its functioning, etc in case (1), you must +enter a 3 or 4 digit password and then you'll get into a voice menu driven +program that'll let you do "maintenance" stuff with the COCOT in case (2), +you are hooked to the COCOT's 300 bps modem (YES, a MODEM in a PAYFONE).. +likewise, if you can figure out the communication settings, you'll be into the +COCOT's maintenance routines. + +Personally, I haven't had much luck (or patience) with calling up and hacking +COCOT maintenance functions. I just like making free fone calls from 'em! + + +COCOT ETIQUETTE: + Now, remember, you are making free fone calls but SOMEONE has to pay for +'em...and that is the OWNER the COCOT's customer loop is billed the cost of +the calls, and if the OWNER sees a big difference in the profits made on the +COCOT (profit=coins from COCOT - bill from Telco for customer loop)..they'll +know SOMETHING is up so moral is DON'T ABUSE THEM! don't call a 1-900 +number and stay on the line for 12 hours! If a COCOT is abused SEVERLY, an +owner will eventually LOSE money on the damn thing!, and that means BYE BYE +COCOT also, remember that a RECORD of ALL LONG DISTANCE calls is made to the +COCOT's customer loop..and COCOT companies will sometimes investigate "billing +discrepencies" so don't call anyone you personally know unless you are +sure they are "cool". + + "Hello?" + + "Hello...this is Cointel, Inc....we'd like to ask you a few + questions about a call you received from Boston on 2/12/91. + Could you tell us the name and address of the person who + placed the call?" + + COOL dude -> "What?...I don't remember...go to hell! " + MEATHEAD -> "Uh, sure, his name is John Smith...you want his address too?" + +Get the picture? Good... + +COCOTs are a great resource if we use them wisely like our environment, we +gotta be careful not to plunder them make a few long distance calls and +then leave that particular COCOT alone for awhile chances are, your bills +will be "absorbed" by the profit margin of the owner and probably ignored +but the smaller the owner's profit margin gets,the more likely suspicions will +be aroused 'nuff said! + + +-RL-----------------------------------------------------------------Page 4 +. + +I have found COCOTs EVERYWHERE some of my personal favorites are on Route 1 +North of Boston check out the Dunkin Donut shops and the Burger King also, +in front of the Rat in Kenmore look around they are lurking everywhere. +(BUT..COCOT technology is relatively new..don't expect them EVERYWHERE..I know +many towns that have NONE..check out big cities....)

The best +part (according to this friend) is that the quarter you use to make the call +drops out, apparently because the call was so short, who knows. + +Some other tricks he has found with cocots include calling these cocots from +home, wherein the modem inside the machine picks up and transmits a small +bit of data at 300 baud.

Pretty neat eh? + +This friend also found that by picking up some cocots and pressing #*2 or +other #* combinations, that the modem will pick up, dial phone number, connect +to a system and transmit data! Weird eh?

Also I will report on a few odd developments in the hack +and phreak worlds, so this file is by no means just reserved to the newcomers. +But most of it, however, is on the basic level. In later volumes I will get +into more in-depth subjects. For the beginner, I will not get into basic +telephony, switching systems and explaining basics such as loops, divertors, +etc., but for those that need that information I highly recommend reading BIOC +Agent's gem of a series, "The Basics of Communications". Though the earliest +ones date back to 1983, they are very informative and well written. At the end +of this file I'll put a little bibliography with a list of text-files and books +that are recommended reading. Now on to the rest of the file, which will be +roughly divided into sections. + +I. Elitism. (This is the only section devoted entirely to newcomers. + Others can go ahead to section II). + + It's funny listening to some of the new "phreaks" nowadays. + + ALL NEW HACKERS/PHREAKS. . .LISTEN! + + What hackers/phreaks do is illegal! Sort of like the mafia - if you turn +someone in you can expect to get hurt! So, for all you people out there who +cannot handle it, I suggest that you had better stop right away before you +get yourself in trouble. There's too many kids out there today who think that +they're big shit because they can make long distance calls for free... WHOOPIE! +A phreak is not a person that makes long distance calls for nothing. Get that +through your heads! A phreak is a person that experiments with the phone +company, and tries to manipulate it and see what it can do! It only curtails +20% of long distance calls. That 20% is the final chapter of the phreak, once +they crack the Bell system they can make calls for nothing. +HOW CAN ANYONE READ THE LAST CHAPTER AND KNOW WHAT THE BOOK CONTAINS? + + Phreaking is illegal and you can get busted for it. No, the FBI won't +bust you for sending someone a $2,000.00 phone bill, the FBI has nothing to do +with that at all! And enough about MCI and tracing... 800 numbers always ANI! +950's are routed in a different way, otherwise they're the SAME as other +prefixes! ANY number can trace, so there isn't one safe method or long +distance company to make free calls. So if you are scared of getting caught, +SIMPLY DO NOT DO IT! People who break into computer systems to crash and +destroy them or use long distance codes for the mere sake of running up +someone's bill should be caught. It's vandalism. + + Also, a note about boxing. The blue box is the first and one of the few +"boxes" [which is contradictory to the pirates and others that have a rainbow +assortment of them], although I would also classify the black box as a "box". +Others are just tools of the phone phreak. A beige box is nothing more than +a lineman's handset, and a clear box is just a tone dialer. Also, boxing is +not completely extinct, like some say. And YES, there ARE ways around ESS! +One just has to look for them. Not everything one learns can be attained from +a text-file. Phreaking is not a passive activity, one must go places, do +things, and experiment. Although I am not saying that boxing is in it's prime, +either. [I wasn't a phreak when boxing was in its prime, which was way back in +the early 70's]. Phreaks still have blue boxes, some for sentimental reasons, +and others still use them. A lot of the "boxes", such as the yellow, urine, +lunch, super, cereal, plaid, brown, et. al., don't exist. They were "invented" +by intelligent people for the plain idiots and "new breed" of what I call +"c0mpyooter kidz" to toy with (and try to build and use!) Oh, and then +there's boxes like the red box. The red box exists, but it's just a few of +the tones in a blue box. So if you have a blue box, you also have a red box. + + What else... Oh, yeah, something about codes. For your own saftey, never +use codes posted on a BBS. Who knows how many people are using it. And, +contradictory to the pirate's favorite little saying, "There's safety in +numbers," it's actually more dangerous to use a code posted around the nation. +All you have to do it put your code hacker on one night, and if you get about +4 codes, that should last you two months if you use one code every two weeks, +and don't give any to anyone. + + + +II. Trashing + + Trashing, if done correctly, can be a very profitable and enjoyable part +of a phreak's activities. After trashing local Bell and AT&T sites for over +two years, I've gained a bit of experience on the subject, and have a few +fairly good guidelines for trashing: + +1)First of all, you need a place to trash. The best places are your local +central office, business office, AT&T service branch, or communications +center. To find out where these are located, just open up the good ol' white +pages to "American Telephone and Telegraph" or "Bell Systems" and you will +find several local addresses. When you pick one out that you think will be +profitable, jot down the address and take a few drives out there;one during +a weekday business hour, one on a Sunday, and another at night. This will +give you an idea of how heavily populated it is at certain times. Don't +get out of the car during these surveillance trips, but just make a note of +security, etc. Some telco installations keep their trash locked up, others +have it guarded, but most of them just have a plain old dumpster. During +these trips you also have to watch when the trash is collected, so that you +can arrange a day when the trash will be at its peak. + +2)Once you have a site picked out, and a good time and date to go, drive out +with a friend or two. Sometimes it's better to park your car and walk when it +is guarded, so you will have a smaller chance of being detected, but most of +the time you can just drive right up. Always do it at night, Fridays, +Saturdays and Sundays being the best. Once you are at the dumpster, grab all +the bags and put them in the trunk. If you walked, then take them out and +leave as soon as possible. Not only is this safer (no worry about getting +caught by the cops) than going in the dumpster and sorting the trash there, +but it assures you that you don't miss anything. And what's nice about telco +trash is that the worst it gets is coffee grounds or an apple core, so you +won't have to worry about smelly garbage. + +3)Drive off to your house and sort it in your garage, backyard, or whatever. +Have some trash bags nearby to put the real trash in. The good trash you can +then keep, and dispose of the rest. + + There are many good things you can find in telco trash. There are always +abundances of printouts, from loop tests to miscellaneous reports. Depending +on exactly what kind of building you trashed, you could find broken phones +(the parts are very useful) to blank letterheads. I have never found a pad +of unused Bell letterheads, but if you find one that is in good condition but +written on, take it to your local printer and have them print you out two +dozen copies in the same color, but to omit the part that was written on. If +the printer questions you, just leave and go somewhere else. At my local +printer, this cost me $2.60. Letterheads and envelopes are very useful for +scaring enemies (on occasion, friends too!), or for impressing phellow phreaks +when writing to them. In Bell trash you can also find notebooks and binders +with the Bell logo. Once I trashed a computer store and found a binder with +the Intel logo on it. It now sits next to my PC and I use it to keep my +technical information. + +III. Your Phriends at Bell! + + There's a lot of phree presents AT&T has for you that's just as easy as +a phone call away: + + Ever want more than one phone book? Is yours old and tattered? You can +get a White Pages, Yellow Pages, Business-to-Business Yellow Pages, or +whatever suburb yellow/white pages you want just by asking! It's very simple, +and perfectly legal - just open the cover of your current White Pages and get +the number to your local Administrative Office. Give 'em a call and ask for +whatever phone book you want, and they'll send it free of charge. Don't order +more than 3 at a time, however. + + A way to get Bell stationary without going trashing is to call Bell and +ask for information on, for instance, WATS lines. You'll get a little +pamphlet in the mail about WATS lines, plus a Bell memorandum slip saying +something like, "George --- here's the information you requested on WATS +lines". As before, take it to your printers', and have it copied without the +writing. + + Those manhole covers that you see on your street with the words "Bell +System" on it have more in there than you think. If you can lift one up using +a crowbar, go inside. Sometimes you might find a telephone handset, and if +you're lucky, a Bell manual or two describing the wires lining the inside. But +most of the time, that's just a phreak phairy tale. It's not that easy, but +I worked out an easy method to get various manuals that WORKS: +Ever see those little black lids on the corner of the block that says +"Telephone" on it, and you open it up and there's a long wire in it? It's +called a bridging head. Well go to one close to you, either if you have one +or try one a few houses away. Take the lid off, and pitch it. Then call up +repair service and say, "Hello, this is [insert the name of someone that lives +near it, or bullshit a name], and I have a box at the corner of my house that +contains phone wires. Well, I just looked outside and the lid is missing. +I have a 6 year old daughter, and she plays outside a lot. I don't want her +to get electrocuted or hurt, so could you please send someone out to replace +the lid? My address is [fill in address here]." And in a while (they'll tell +you the time), a bell lineman will drive up, open his truck and get out a +replacement lid. When he's doing that, just reach in the truck and swipe +something. But you have to be quick and accurate, and you can't be too +choosy. While you're at it, you might as well get into a conversation with +the guy. BSing with these people can sometimes yield good results. + + Many of the Directory Assistance ops can easily be talked to. Although +they get a lot of calls (1000-1300 a day), they still will talk for a few +minutes. The problem is that they don't have access to much. They can tell +you if a number is unlisted or not, and that's about it. The CN/A operator can +give you the name and address of a number. And, if done correctly, you can +get some information from her. I hear that most CN/As are going to become a +regular customer pay service in the near future, due to all the teens already +abusing them. My CN/A (614) doesn't even give you the full address or name on +most of the numbers, they just tell you the major city it's in (like for a 614 +number they'll say "that's in Columbus", and for a 216 number they'll say +"that's in Cleveland"), which doesn't help at all. For unlisted numbers +they'll tell you that they have no record. Some CN/As are on Microfische(like +mine), and that's what happens when you call them. The others are computerized +but they ask for a pass code (two letters and two numerals). It won't be long +before this once-valuable operator becomes useless. + + +IV. Exchange Scanning + + The best way to find pbxes, loops, and other goodies is to manually scan +for them. In the NPA-NXX-99XX numbers, there's a lot of Bell goodies, just +waiting for you to explore them. Get a notebook for phreaking and make a +chart for each prefix like this (thanks to BIOC Agent 003 for this method): + + + + NPA-NXX-99XX Scan + ___________________________________________________________________________ +|99x x>| 0 |1 |2 |3 |4 |5 |6 |7 |8 |9 | +|---------+------+------+------+------+------+------+-----+-----+-----+-----| +|990 | | | | | | | | | | | +|---------+------+------+------+------+------+------+-----+-----+-----+-----| +|991 | | | | | | | | | | | +|---------+------+------+------+------+------+------+-----+-----+-----+-----| +|992 | | | | | | | | | | | +|---------+------+------+------+------+------+------+-----+-----+-----+-----| +|993 | | | | | | | | | | | +|---------+------+------+------+------+------+------+-----+-----+-----+-----| +|994 | | | | | | | | | | | +|---------+------+------+------+------+------+------+-----+-----+-----+-----| +|995 | | | | | | | | | | | +|---------+------+------+------+------+------+------+-----+-----+-----+-----| +|996 | | | | | | | | | | | +|---------+------+------+------+------+------+------+-----+-----+-----+-----| +|997 | | | | | | | | | | | +|---------+------+------+------+------+------+------+-----+-----+-----+-----| +|998 | | | | | | | | | | | +|---------+------+------+------+------+------+------+-----+-----+-----+-----| +|999 | | | | | | | | | | | +|_________|______|______|______|______|______|______|_____|_____|_____|_____| + + Then make a key something like: +R = ring [try again later] +B = busy [ " " " ] +R1= recording 1 [make a list of all that you come across, R1, R2, R3, etc.] +D = dial tone +O = intercept operator +S = sweep tone +T = tone [tone at lower number + ignore it's a loop] +I = ignore [dead silence. at higher number, it's a loop] +V = voice number to telco +C = carrier [modem] +Q = strange tone/clicks/buzzing +M = voice mail system +N = SCC / Network port (MCI, Sprint, etc) + + Dial all the numbers on your sheet, and record your findings on the chart +in your notebook. Another area that has a lot of things are the <800>/9XX-9999 +series of numbers. At the time of this writing, most are disconnected, but a +few useful numbers are still there. Also, <800>/NXX-10XX tend to yield with +a lot of good findings. Try to do your scanning late at night, when most +businesses are closed. Put all your scans in one big notebook, and attempt to +scan as much of the Network [the whole phone system if you were wondering] as +you can. Another good prefix to scan are the pay <900>/200-XXXX numbers. These +generally cost more than most of the normal 900 numbers, and some of them are +private AT&T numbers. You can also try NPA-NXX-00XX, and NPA-NXX-01XX. But +you don't have to be limited to these. Different numbers can be found in +different areas. Explore into deep depths of the Networks' insides, and the +deeper you go the better things you will find. Currently in my area, the +98xx numbers have a lot of loops in them, such as <216>/661-9898/9. Here's +a listing of prefixes for the <800> exchange and the states that the number +resides in (a lot of companies set up numbers that can only be reached in the +same state, and others have ones that can only be called outside their state). +An asterisk to the right indicates that a toll switching office that accepts +MF tones has been found in the area code served by that prefix. An asterisk +to the left indicates that numbers have been found in that prefix that can be +whistled off using 2600. The numbers that should be hacked for blowable +numbers have asterisks before and after them like this: *XXX*. + + +State 800 Prefix NPA served +----- ---------- ---------- +Alabama 633 <205> +Alaska 544 <907> +Arizona 528 <602> +Arkansas 643 <501> +California 227 <415> + 421 <213> + 423 <213> + 854 <714> + 824 <916> + 538 <408> + 235 <805> + 344 <209> + 358 <707> +Colorado 525 <303> + 255 <303> +Connecticut 243 <203> +Delaware 441 <302> +District of Columbia 424 <202> + 368 <202> For high volume traffic +Florida 327 <305> + 237 <813> + *874* <904> +Georgia 841 <912> + *241 <404> + 554 <404> +Hawaii 367 <808> +Idaho *635 <208> +Illinois 621 <312> + 323 <312> + 637 <217> + 435 <815> + 447 <309> + 851 <618> +Indiana 428 <317> + 457 <812> + 348 <219> +Iowa 553 <319> + *247 <515> + 831 <712> +Kansas 835 <316> + 255 <913> +Kentucky 626 <502> + 354 <606> +Louisiana 535 <504> + 551 <318> +Maine 341 <207> +Maryland 368 <301> +Massachusetts 343 <617> + 225 <617> + 628 <413> +Michigan 253 <616> + 521 <313> + 338 <906> + 517 <248> +Minnesota 328 <612> + 533 <507> + *346 <218> +Mississippi 647 <601> +Missouri 821 <816> + 325 <314> + 641 <417> +Montana *548* <406> +Nebraska 228 <402> + 445 <308> +Nevada *634 <702> Las Vegas + 648 <702> Reno +New Hampshire 258 <603> +New Jersey 257 <609> +New Mexico 545 <505> +New York 223 <212> + 847 <607> + 221 <212> + 431 <914> + 828 <716> + 645 <516> + 448 <315> + 833 <518> +North Carolina 334 <919> + 438 <704> +North Dakota *437 <701> +Ohio 321 <216> + 543 <513> + 537 <419> + 848 <614> +Oklahoma 654 <405> + 331 <918> +Oregon *547* <503> +Pennsylvania 523 <215> + 345 <215> + *458* <814> + 245 <412> + 233 <717> +Puerto Rico 468 <809> +Rhode Island 556 <401> +South Carolina *845* <803> +South Dakota *843* <605> +Tennessee 251 <615> + 238 <901> +Texas 527 <214> + 433 <817> + 531 <512> + 231 <713> + 351 <915> + *858* <806> +Utah 453 <801> +Vermont *451 <802> +Virginia 446 <804> + 368 Arlington - (for D.C.) + 336 <703> +Virgin Islands 524 <809> +Washington 426 <206> + 541 <509> +West Virginia 624 <304> +Wisconsin *356 <608> + 558 <414> +Wyoming 443 <307> + + + Another area to scan are the /NXX-4499 numbers. These will connect +you to a loud annoying busy signal. But the neat part about it is that if +anyone else calls it while you're on, you can talk. Many people (I've seen it +where they've gotten 20) can be on it at the same time. And the more people on +the line, the quieter the busy signal gets. Although the busy signal is +annoying, it's good because you don't get charged for busy signals so you can +call it direct. Two working numbers are <603>/353-4499 and <205>/356-4499. +There are a lot of these, at least one in every area code. + + +V. Closing Notes + + This ends the first in a series, "The Telecommunications Collage".

This type of program +is also called a TSR (Terminate, but Stay Resident). + + *Accoustic modem -- A modem equipped with cups (usually rubber or plastic) to +hold a standard telephone handset. Since this type of modem has to deal with +room noise in addition to line noise (plus the quality of the accoustic signal +sent and received by the telephone), accoustic modems usually operate no faster +than 300 bps. + + *ACIA -- Asynchronous Communications Interface Adapter. A device used for +serial data communication. + + *ACK -- A control character that indicates the preceding transmission block +has been received (ACKnowledged), and that the next transmission block can be +sent. + + *Algorithm -- A set of operational steps that perform a particular calculation +and/or function. + + *Alphameric -- The letters, digits and special characters that are in common +use (a.k.a.

The computer component that enterprets and +executes instructions. Also called the mainframe, although that term has taken +on a slightly different connotation in recent years. + + *Crash -- A condition in which a computer will no longer accept commands from +the program or keyboard. The computer can be in programed loop (see Bug) or it +can be "locked up" trying to perform a function that is not possible. A +"hardware crash" is when a component within the computer fails. A "disk crash" +is when a floppy disk becomes unreadable by the computer. A disk crash can +cause the rest of the computer to crash as it tries over and over to access the +disk (although technically speaking, this isn't a crash, but a lock-up). The +term describes tha action of a floating disk head physically crashing into the +disk surface, thereby misreading or destroying the disk. + +error correction during theChecking (an advanced form of Checksum).

Although +British domestic communications (whether data or voice) are only +suposed to be intercepted if a specific warrant is issued, few +people comprehend the scale on which Western intelligence agencies +are already routinely intercepting all civil international +communications.As long ago as 1960, defectors from the United +States NSA (National Security Agency also know as No Such Agency) +revealed at a Moscow press conference that 'both enciphered and +plain text communications are monitored from almost every nation +in the world, including the nations on whose soil the intercept +bases are located'. + + Soon US, British and Allied intelligence agencies will embark +on a massive, billion-dollar expansion of their global electronic +surveillance system, which will enable them to monitor and analyse +civilian and comercial communications into the 21st century. +According to information recently given secrectly to the US +Congress, a new surveillance system, currently identified as +Project P415, is being set up by NSA. Many other countries' +intelligence agencies will be closely involved with the new +network, including those from Britain, Austrialia, Germany and +Japan, and even the People's Republic Of China. + + New satellite stations and monitoring centres are to be built +around the world, and a chain of new satellites launched, so that +NSA and GCHQ Cheltenham, its British counterpart, may keep abreast +of the burgeoning international telecommunications traffic. The +largest existing station in this network is the US communications +base at Menwith Hill, near Harrogate, Yorkshire, which has taps +into Britain's main national and international networks. Although +high-technology stations such as Menwith Hill are primarily +intended to monitor international comminications and control +ultra-secret eavesdropping satellites, their capability can be and +has been turned inwards on domestic tariff, according to US +experts. This vast international global eavesdropping network has +existed since shortly after the Second World War, when the US, +Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand signed a secret +agreement on signals intelligence, or 'SIGINT'. + + Although it is impossible for transcribers to listen to all +but a small fraction of the billions of telephone calls and other +signals which might contain interesting information, computer data +signals can easily be processed in any way that NSA or GCHQ +analysts require. The agencies' computers automatically analyse +every telex message or data signal, and can als identify calls +to, say, a target telephone number in London, no matter from which +country they originate. At present, Operations Building 36M at the +NSA's Menwith Hill station contains a network of eighteen powerful +DEC VAX-11 processors supporting this and related tasks. Menwith +Hill's nest of computers is part of a global system called +Echelon, which will eventually be superseded by Project P415. + + Both the new and existing surveillance systems are highly +computerised, and rely on virtually total interception of +international commercial and satellite communications in order to +locate data of interest. Early last summer a US newspaper, the +Cleveland Plain Dealer, revealed that the system had been used to +target the telephone calls of a US senator. British and American +domestic communications are also being targeted and intercepted by +the Echelon network, the US investigators have been told, despite +legal provisions that should make such intentional interception +illegal. Special teams from GCHQ have been secretly flown in the +last few years to a computer centre in Silicon Valley for training +on the computer systems that preform both domestic and +international interception. + + Recently published US Department of Defense 1989 budget +information has confirmed that the Menwith Hill base would be +the subject of a major, $26million expansion programme. +Information given to the US Congress in February listed details of +plans for a four-year expansion of facilities at Menwith Hill. +Among other important stations being developed in the new P415 +network, US intelligence sources say, are a GCHQ base in Cornwall, +which intercepts links to and from many western commercial +satellites. This spy base, at Morwenstow near Bude, has been +continuously expanded thoughout the 1980s. + + When Britian's new interception of Communications Act was +passed in 1985, however, it was obviously designed to make special +provision for operations like Echelon to trawl all international +communications to and from Britian. A special section of the Act, +Section 3(2), allows warrants to be issued to intercept any +general type of international messages to or from Britain, if this +is 'in the interests of national security' or 'for the purpose of +safeguarding the economic well-being of the United Kingdom'. Such +warrants also allow GCHQ to tap all other communications on the +same cables or satellites that may have to be picked up in order +to select the messages they want. In practice, everything is +intercepted. + + There is no doubt that British law, along with British bases, +has been designed to encourage rather than inhibit this booming +industry in international data surveillance. This is quite a new +development. In the 1960s, British government and Treasury +officials took a lot of convincing (by the Americans) that the +interception of ordinary commercial data communications was +worthwhile. + + +Downloaded From P-80 International Information Systems 304-744-2253 diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/comppbx.txt b/textfiles.com/phreak/comppbx.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..062a83f2 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/comppbx.txt @@ -0,0 +1,94 @@ + +------------------ +Computer Based PBX +------------------ + +To get a better understanding of what a PBX can do, here are a few basic +fundamentals. The modern PBX is a combined computer, mass storage device, and +of course a switching system that can: + + {1} Produce itemized,automated billing procedures, to allow the + identification and management of toll calls. + + {2} Combine daytime voice grade communication circuits into + wideband data channels for night time high speed data transfers. + + {3} Handles Electronic Mail {including office memos}. + + {4} Combine Voice channels into a wideband audio/visual conference + curcuit, with the ability to xfer and capture slides, flipcharts, pictures + of any kind. + + Both the external and internal calling capacity of the PBX System must be +carefully considered because many business operations run a very high ratio of +internal station to station dialing and a low capacity system will not handle +the requested traffic load. + + A critical factor is the number of trunks and the Central Office Facilities +that are used for outside connections. Another is the number of junctions or +{links} that make up the internal calling paths. + + + To understand the services available on a typical computer run PBX it is +necessary to introduce the subject of time division switching. In a time +division switching network all connections. Called (of course) a +time-division bus. + Every line trunk that requires a connection with another is provided +with a port circuit. All port circuirs have access to the time division bus +through a time division switch. + [When two ports require connection,their time division switches operate at +a very high frequency (16,000 times per second). This technique, which is +called 'speech sampling', allows many simultaneous connections over the same +time division bus. + The next critical item is circuit PACKS. The system elements that we will be +describing in future tutorials {lines/trunks/switches,memory and control} are +contained on plug in circuit packs. Each line circuit pack contains a number +of lines, in example, four. But tha assignment of station numbers to actual +phone line circuits is flexible. + The system memory is contained in circuit packs which provide the call +processing functions. The circuit packs are held in small frames called +'carriers'. Within each carrier, the circuit packs are plugged into positions: +the 'slots'. Every circuit can be addressed by, say a five digit number which +tells its location by carrier-slot-circuit.... {starting to get the idea?} + There can be three types of carriers in a modern PBX system: + + o Line Carriers + o Trunk Carriers + o Control Carriers + + The line carriers contain station lines. In AT&T's "Dimension" model, for +example, a total of 52 to 64 lines are provided. The trunk carriers contain +slots for 16 trunk circuit packs. The control carrier includes processor, +memory, contvol circuitry, data channels for attendant console control and +traffic measurement outputs. + + + PBX Systems will directly reflect the types of services offered at the C.O. + + o CCSA + o CCIS + o Picturephones {sooner than you tlink my phriends} + + Common Control Switching Arrangements ( CCSA ) permit any unrestricted tele- +phone station to call any othet internal or external system station with a +standard seven digit number.

IT IS UNDERSTANDABLE HOW THE PHREAKS MUST HAVE FELT WHEN THE TRUNKS +WERE CLOSED. THIS IS AGAIN ILLUSTRATED, "LAST APRIL 1, HOWEVER, THE LONG +VANCOUVER CONFERENCE WAS SHUT OFF. THE PHONE P HREAKS KNEW IT WAS COMING. +VANCOUVER WA S IN THE PROCESS OF CONVERTING TO A STEP -BY-STEP FROM A 4A AND +THE 2111 TELEX CIRCUIT WAS TO BE WIPED OUT IN THE PROCESS . THE PHONE PHREAKS +LEARNED THE ACTUAL DAY ON WHICH THE CONFERENCE WOULD BE ERASED ABOUT A WEEK +AHEAD OF TIME OVER THE PHONE COMPANY'S INTERNAL-NEWS-AND-SHOP-TALK RECORDING. + +FOR THE NEXT FRANTIC SEVEN DAYS EVERY PHONE PHREAK IN AMERICA WAS ON AND OFF +THE 2111 CONFERENCE TWENTY-FOUR HOURS A DAY. PHONE PHREAKS WHO WERE JUST +LEARNING THE GAME OR DIDN'T HAVE M-F CAPABILITY WERE BOOSTED UP TO THE +CONFERENCE BY MORE EXPERIENCED PHREAKS SO THEY COULD GET A GLIMPSE OF WHAT IT +WAS LIKE BEFORE IT DISAPPEARED. TOP PHONE PHREAKS SEARCHED DISTANT AREA CODES +FOR NEW CONFERENCE POSSIBILITIES WITHOUT SUCCESS. FINALLY IN THE EARLY MORNING +OF APRIL 1, THE END CAME. + +'I COULD FEEL IT COMING A COUPLE OF HOURS BEFORE MIDNIGHT,' RALPH REMEMBERS. +'YOU COULD FEEL SOMETHING GOING ON IN THE LINES. SOME STATIC BEGAN SHOWING UP, +THEN SOME WHISTLING WHEEZING SOUND. THEN THERE WERE BREAKS.

THERE WAS +NOTHING THERE.'" + +ALMOST BRINGS TEARS TO YOUR EYES, DON'T IT? NOW A DAYS, CONFERENCES ARE +MAJORLY BUSINESS ORIENTED. THE MAJOR VENDOR, YOU MIGHT SAY, IS A THING CALLED +ALLIENCE TELECONFERENCING. THIS IS A OFFSPRING OF AMERICAN BELL, WHICH IN TURN +WAS BORN OF AT&T. IF YOU WANT TO CALL UP ALLIANCE, THEY HAVE NUMBERS IN THE +CITIES THEY HAVE CONFERENCE LINES IN: + +213-481-2388 LISTED AS AMERICAN BELL TELECONFERENCING +312-938-0926 LISTED AS AT&T TELECONFERENCE +914-365-0123 LISTED AS TELECONFERENCE +713-655-2101 LISTED AS AMERICAN BELL TELECONFERENCING + +*THESE NUMBERS ARE, OF COURSE, JUST TO THE BUSINESS OFFICE* + +HOW TO SET UP A CONFERENCE: + +THIS IS FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW, NOTHING NEW, SO THOSE OF YOU WHO DO, +YOU MIGHT WANT TO SKIP OVER IT. + +FIRST OF ALL YOU NEED TO FIND A NUMBER THROUGH WHICH YOU CAN BOX OUT OF, IN +OTHER WORDS A NUMBER THAT WILL ACCE PT 2600 AND RELEASE YOU ONTO AN OPERATOR +TRUNK. THESE ARE SOME OF THE ONES THAT I KNOW OF: + +604-555-1212 B.C.

BEFORE THE TRUNK DROPS (YOU WILL +KNOW THIS BY THE SOUND OF A CACHUNK) THERE IS STATIC WHILE THE CALL IS BEING +PLACED, NOW IS THE TIME TO BLOW 2600 AFTER DOING SO, THE LINE WILL GO SORT OF +AN "EEEE-CACHUNK." ONCE HEARING THIS, YOU CALL UP THE CONFRENCE LINE OF YOUR +CHOICE: + +213-080-1050 ALLIENCE L.A. +312-001-1050 ALLIENCE CHICAGO +914-042-1050 ALLIENCE STONY POINT ? +713-033-1050 ALLIENCE HOUSTON + +THIS IS DONE BY HITTING KP THEN THE NUMBER OF THE CONFERENCE LINE THEN ST. IF +ALL GOES WELL YOU WILL HEAR A COUPLE OF CACHUNKS THEN M-F IN KP AND ANY +A/C+XXX-XXXX AS THE BILLING LINE. AFTER DOING THIS YOU WILL HEAR A COMPUTER +GENERATED WOMAN'S VOICE THAT SAYS, "WELCOME TO ALLIANCE TELECONFERENCING IN 'X' +(X BEING THE CITY WHICH YOU CALLED TO). YOU MAY DIAL DURING ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR +FASTER SET UP. PLEASE ENTER THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE TO BE IN YOUR CONFERENCE. +DIAL NOW PLEASE." YOU DO THIS WITH YOUR REGULAR TOUCH-TONE FONE. NO MORE +BOXING IS INVOLVED. YOU CAN HAVE ANYWHERE FROM 2 TO 59 PEOPLE ON YOUR +CONFERENCE, ALTHOUGH IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO SET IT UP FOR AROUND 25-30 PEOPLE SO +AS NOT TO DRAW ATTENTION TO YOURSELF BY SETTING UP FOR 59 OR OTHER VAST +AMOUNTS. + +THIS IS IF ALL HAS GONE WELL. SOMETIMES YOU GET A BUSY SIGNAL, MEANING THAT +ALL THE CONFERENCE LINES ARE BUSY, BUT SHOULD BE OPEN LATER, WHENEVER WHO IS +USING THEM HANGS UP. OTHER TIMES YOU MAY GET "WE'RE SORRY, BUT YOUR CALL DID +NOT GO THROUGH, WILL YOU TRY YOUR CALL AGAIN PLEASE." I HAVE GOTTEN THAT +RECORDING JUST TRYING TO M-F THROUGH 514(QUEBEC) SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DEAL +IS IF YOU GET IT BEFORE YOU ENTER THE CONFERENCE TRUNK. WHEN YOU GET THE +'WE'RE SORRY ' THING OFF OF THE CONFERENCE TRUNK, YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH SAY THAT +THAT CONFERENCE IS DOWN FOR THE WEEKEND OR FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT AS +ALLIANCE HAS BUSIED IT OUT. + +ONCE YOU ARE ON THE CONFERENCE YOU CAN DIAL IN ANYONE YOU WISH NORMALLY, IE: +1+A/C+NUMBER. ONCE YOU CONNECT YOU CAN EITHER LET THEM IN ON THE CONFERENCE BY +HITTING THE '#' OR HANG THEM UP BY HITTING '*'. (REMEMBER POUND TO ADD, STAR +TO CANCEL (HA!)) YOU CAN ALSO TRANSFER CONTROL TO SOMEONE ON THE CONFERENCE BY +DIALING '6' THEN 1+A/C+NUMBER. + +THERE ARE SOME DANGERS THAT COME WITH THIS FUN, OF COURSE. ONE IS THE FEDERAL +LAWS THAT SETTING UP ONE LIKE THIS BREAKS. I AM NOT SURE WHICH ONE(S) EXACTLY, +I JUST KNOW THAT THEY EXIST. THEY ONLY COVER THE ORIGINATOR, AND THE PERSON(S) +HAVING CONTROL OVER THE CONFERENCE, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY THAT IF THE FBI +BUSTS THE ORIGINATOR THAT YOU ARE NEXT IF YOU JUST ANSWERED YOUR PHONE. + +THERE IS ALSO THE FACT THAT YOU MAY BE PILING UP TROUBLE CARDS ON YOUR LINE IF +YOU WERE STUPID ENOUGH TO SET IT UP FROM YOUR HOUSE FONE. ONE WAY AROUN D THIS +IS TO GO MOBILE WITH TAPES, OR TO SET IT UP THROUGH A CHEESE BOX, OR THROUGH A +PBX. ESPECIALLY STUPID, JUST FLAT OUT BLITHERING WOULD BE THE PERSON WHO SET +UP A CONFERENCE ON AN ESS EXCHANGE, CAUSE, AS FLASH HOSER, THAT PHREAK FROM THE +GREAT WHITE NORTH PUT IT, "ESS IS BAD NEWS!" YOU WILL BE TRACED WITHIN A MATTER +OF SECONDS FROM THE M-F TONES REGISTERING ON YER TELCO COMP, SO DON'T THINK +THEY MIGHT NOT NOTICE IT. + +ALSO, NEVER GIVE OUT NUMBERS WHILE ON A CONFERENCE. IF YOU MUST GIVE O UT A +NUMBER, OR EVEN A FIRST NAME, FIRST HANG UP, THE HAVE THE PERSON IN CONTROL +CALL YOU BACK, AND THEN GIVE HIM-HER THE INFO BEFORE THEY ADD YOU BACK IN. THE +REASON FOR THIS IS THAT THE CONFERENCE OPERATOR COULD VERY WELL BE LISTENING +IN. IF YOU EVER HAPPEN UPON THIS MENACE OF AN OPERATOR, BLOW 2600 TO HER OR +SHE WILL KICK YOU OFF THE CONFERENCE LINE. + +NEVER CALL FBI AGENTS! AND IF YOU MUST, NEVER DO IT THROUGH THE CONFERENCE!! +ONCE YOU ADD THEM THEY WILL STAY ON UNTIL IT DIES! LET SOMEONE WITH 3-WAY LET +THEM IN THROUGH A SCC OR SOMETHING. IF A FED DOES HAPPEN TO GET ON YOUR LINE, +THEY WILL TRY ALL THEY CAN TO GET AN YTHING! THEY ACCOMPLISH THIS BY ONE OF +THREE MEANS: + +1)BEING QUIET WITH A RECORDER GOING, TO GET NUMBERS, NAMES, INFO DISCLOSED, +ETC. + +2)A SECTOR TAP PLACED ON THE LINE, YOU WILL HEAR WEIRD BEEPS, BUZZES, CLICKS +EVERY NOW AND THEN. THEY SEEM TO THINK THAT THEY WILL GET SOMETHING FROM THIS, +BUT AS FAR AS I KNOW IT USED TO WORK, BUT NOW DOESEN'T, AND BESIDES, IT IS +ILLEGAL FOR THEM TO USE ONE SO IT WOULDN'T HOLD UP IN A COURT ANYWAY. + +3)THE THIRD WAY, AND MOST DEADLY, IS SOMETHING FOUND BY AND STILL UNDER +INVESTIGATION BY THE RESEARCHER AND {}MOB RULES{}. IT CONSISTS OF KP AND TWO O +THER M-F TONES PLAYED INTO THE CONFERENCE LINE. IT CAUSES A PHONE NUMBER AND +ST TO BE SPILLED BACK, IN OTHER WORDS YOU HEAR SOME ONE ON THE CONFERENCE'S +TELEPHONE NUMBER PLAYED BACK FOR YOU IN M-F TONES. IT IS NOT YET KNOWN WHOSE +NUMBER GETS SPILLED BACK, NOR IS IT KNOWN FROM WHERE IT IS SPILLED FROM, +ALTHOUGH IT IS PROBABLY FROM ALLIANCE. ALL THAT IS KNOWN IS THAT A NUMBER DOES +GET SPILLED BACK, AND THAT IS ALL THAT THE FEDS NEED, JUST ONE NUMBER. THE +TONES THAT THE FEDS WILL SEND FORTH ARE "KP+ A COMBINATION OF THE M-F TONES 4&6 +AND 7&9" SO IT WOULD BE KP+46+79. EXPERIMENT, AS THIS COULD REALLY HELP IN +KNOWING WHAT THEY CAN DO TO US EXACTLY. + +OPERATORS ARE PHUN PEOPLE TO GET ON CONFERENCES, AS THEY ARE SO PHUCKING +STUPID. YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND LET THEM IN ON A CONFERENCE CAUSE THEY CANNOT DO +ANYTHING DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO THINK THEY CAN. GET +A BUNCH OF DA'S ON THE LINE AND LET THEM ASK EACH OTHER, "WHAT CITY PLEASE." +ANO THER THING TO DO TO OPERATORS IS TO GET ONE ON THE LINE AND MAKE HER THINK +THAT YOU ARE ANOTHER OPERATOR, SAY SOMETHING LIKE "TSPS #125, BOSTON," AND SEE +WHAT THEY DO. YOU MIGHT ALSO WANT TO CALL UP WESTERN UNION, SATELCO, OR LDS +OPERATORS AND BUG THEM. OTHER PHUN THINGS TO GET ON THE CONFERENCES ARE TELEX +OFFICES, COMPUTER COMPANIES, STEVE WOZNIAC, WORLD-WIDE RECORDINGS, MILITARY +BASES, AND THE EVER POPULAR # OF MY OWN, THE WHITEHOUSE SIGNAL!! + +HERE ARE COMPANIES YOU MIGHT WANT TO CALL FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THEIR +TELECONFERENCING AND PICTURE PHONE SERVICES: + +AT&T 212-393-9800 +COLORADO VIDEO 303-444-3972 +DAROME CONNECTION 203-797-1300 +DAROME INC. 815-943-5481 +FTC SERVICES 212-699-9730 +HOLIDAY INN HI-NET 901-362-4505 +INFOLINK 312-291-2900 +MISAR INDUSTRIES 714-540-2477 +TELECONCEPTS 212-355-7113 +VIDEO STAR CONNECTIONS 404-257-0121 + +THESE COMPANIES ARE VENDORS OF SERVICES OR PRODUCTS OR ARE SUPPLIERS OF +EQUIPMENT TO TELECONFERENCING SERVICES.

TELL HER THE BILLING LINE AND PARTY, WHICH WOULD BE A FRIEND +ON A LOOP WAITING FOR THE OPERATOR TO CALL UP AND ASK IF THIS WAS KNOWN TO BE +THE BILLING LINE, HE-SHE WILL ACCEPT GLADLY. THEN ONCE SHE PUTS YOU UP TO THE +CONFERENCE LINES, TELL HER TO GO AHEAD AND RELEASE THE LINE, AS YOU KNOW WHAT +TO DO FROM HERE ON.

A conference merely is several phone lines +tied together allowing people to talk to many locations at once. Alliance is +owned by AT&T Communications. Alliance uses #4 ESS's to control its +conference. According to Alliance, conferences can by originated and +controlled from most locations in the United States. The service started only +available in 202, but now has been spreading throughout the country. One thing +to remember is that even in the same area code some Central Offices will allow +access, and others may not. Conferees can be from anywhere dialable by AT&T, +including international. Alliance can be reached at 1-800-544-6363 for social +engineering or for the setting up conferences in locations that cannot access +0-700's. Using this the conference can be billed to a Calling Card or to a +third number. + + Alliance themselves say the cost of a teleconference is 25 cents a line per +minute, as well as the cost of a direct dialed call for each of the locations +from the conference site. A monitoring Alliance operator costs an additional +$3 an hour. Thus, rumors of $6,000 conference bills seem a little exaggerated. +However, conferences can last for several days and can have several +international participants, thus running the bill up. + +>>>CONFERENCE NUMBERS +===================== + + Dialing 0-700-456-X00N will result in "This is Alliance Teleconferencing in +[location]. You may dial during the announcement for faster setup." The main +conference numbers are -100X and -200X. The locations indicated by the X (as +given by Alliance and the logon recordings) are 1 being Los Angeles, 2 being +Chicago, 3 being White Plains New York, and 4 being Dallas. 0 gets you the +conference site closest to you. The -100X lines only accept up to 21 +conferees, and usuallly don't allow international dialing. The other +conference numbers allow up to 59 lines when available as the lines have to be +apportioned between the various conferences going at the site, and also allow +international dialing. According to Alliance themselves -200X are graphic +conferences, -100X allows up to 59 conferees, and both always allow +international dialing. However, actual exploration doesn't bear these out. + + Alliance doesn't seem to admit that -300X conference (X=0 to 2, all located +in Chicago, Illinois) numbers even exist. These conferences announce that they +are graphic, and they seem to bear this out. They can also be handled as an +audio conference. The only difference is that it asks when adding conferees +whether the location is graphics (hit 4) or audio (hit 5). Choose audio. +These tend most often to allow the passing of control, dialing of international +calls, and also less used than the other lines. + + Dialng 0-700-456-150X or -250X results in an modem connect sounding tone, +followed by "You have reached Bell System Teleconferencing Service's Special +Set for testing and measurement. Please enter your service code [3 digits] or +wait for instructions." Shooting Shark first found the -150N and -250N +conferences. These cannot be reached from most area codes, resulting instead +in a "The number you have dialed cannot be reached from yiour calling area" +just as if it were an 800 number not reachable from your calling area. The +onnly one I know that does get trough is 201 (Northern New Jersey. The X goes +from 0 to 4, just like the normal -100X and -200X conferences. There is no +-350X series. I haven't as of yet figured out the "service code." This can be +used as a normal conference, except that it requires you to confirm your choice +by voice, and each section is separated by those modem connect sonding tones. +Rumors are that this is the upcoming new conference system, which is supposed +to add features such as the deletion of conferees. However, any keypress I +have tried other than 1, 6, or 9 (the normal controls) results in a dire +warning telling me "Please wait for an Alliance operator to come to your +assistance." I haven't yet stuck around long enough to find out what +"assistance" means. Alliance won't admit these exist, and therefore the -150X +and -250X warrent much further and deeper investigation. + + Alliance can be reached by other means. Blue boxing to 213-080-0123 and +other direct routing to the Alliance machines no longer seems to work. +However, box routing to 0-700-456-N00X does work. PBX's in conference country +are often used to call conferences. Merely dial a PBX's inward access line, +enter the access code, dial an outside line, and then either touch tone +0-700-456-N00X yourself, or dial 0 and get the operator to do it for you. +Sometimes they insist that the 0-700 SAC doesn't exist, but just remain firm +and just tell them to try it. Social engineering also works, just call an +operator and try to convince her to KP+0-700-456-1000+ST and position release, +after getting her to believe you are maintainance/whatever. Getting a direct +drop on an inward operator increases the chance of succeding, such as by +dialing 0-959-1211 from a pay phone (BIOC Agent 003's Basic Telcom VI, +descovered by Karl Marx) Another trick suggested by Shooting Shark is to use a +white boxable phone (see 2600 page I-40, July 1984) or even an ATM help line or +a hotel phone in an airport (as in the April 1985 2600, Page II-19) Since when +arranging a conference you really dont need to speak, just set up a conference +normally, and when done call another payphone nearby, pass control, and +continue. The conference will still be charged to the first pay phone. + + Several techniques are available to both improve the quality of the call. +Since the call may be going through up to several extenders to reach a non-800 +PBX, and from there to Alliance, the signal quality can get quite poor. A +technique that helps to keep Alliance from knowing your number is to call +Alliance via a PBX, add in the lower end of a loop, pass control to it, and +then call the high end. A variation on this technique is to call your other +line or a payphone next to you, or even, if you have call waiting, to call +yourself again, pass control to yourself (it works), and then hang up the +original call. All these techiques may not always work, as sometimes Alliance +refuses to pass control, as mentioned above. + +>>>CONFERENCE CONTROLS +====================== + + Alliance is extremely user friendly, as it wa designed for businessmen. Help +messages abound, and all you need to do is to follow their directions, but here +is a brief going over of the commands. After the log on recording, choose the +number of locations for your conference. Choose below 15 locations, as many +people use Alliance, and using more locations than available results in "no +conference facilities available now", as the 59 lines available per site must +apportioned. To change your choice dial a *, or to go onward a hit #. To add +a number while in control mode dial 1+ the phone number. To dial international +dial 1 + 011 + the phone number. Passing control can be done by dialing 6 + +plus the number of the person on the conference you wish to pass control. Then +by hitting a # you rejoin the conference, or by just hanging up you leave. +When in the conference dialing a # will return you to control mode. + + When conferees hang up, a "dee-doot" will be heard. The controller also +hears the phone number of person who left. Hitting the # immediately calls the +departed back. There is no way to drop people from conference other then +getting a conference operator to do it or by blowing 2600 hrtz down the line. +However, this will drop each and every person on a trunk using in-band +signaling. Hitting a 0 in control mode summons a conference operator, however, +she/he takes control before he/she answers, so only do this when you know what +you are doing. Hitting a 9 in control mode requests a "silent attendant +listener line." According to the Demon this option allows the controller to +hear the tones and phone numbers of people hanging up while he is in control +mode. Conference op's claim this function is for secretaries and such to +listen to, but not participate in, conferences for note taking purposes. + + If these instrustions sound confusing, don't worry. Remember, the entire +conference is accompianied by extremely user friendly messages. Recently, on +weekends or late night, many telcom hobbiests have had problems with +transfering control, instead getting instead a recording "Not available at this +time". Also, similarly, international dialing is sometimes unavailable. +Generally -300X does this less often, then -200X next. + +>>>DANGERS +========== + + One must always be prepared for listeners whenever one conferences. If one +is discussing "questionable" matters on a conference, last names and phone +numbers should NEVER be given out. One of your fellow telcom hobbiests might +be a FBI agent, or sometimes a conference operator listens in conferences which +sound "suspicious." They do not do this usually, as Alliance usually carries +business calls (you have to remember this folks!), and thus doesn't expect +fraudulent calls. Sure ways to interest a op is to have either all the +conferees but one or only just the controller hang up. When a controller hangs +up the conference op takes control and attempts to let the the former +controller "regain his conference" by calling him at home. Also, controllers +who spend long amounts of time in control mode, resulting in everyone else +hanging up, arouses the attention of the op. The number which orginally +started the conference can hang up though, after passing control, but the +conference will still be billed to it. + + On weekends Alliance ops tend to be more prying, and often on weekends or +late nights one cannot pass control or call international. One op to +particulary look out for is Jack Rae who works after 8 PM on weeknights at +-1001 (LA). If you get a very sure person taking control and advising you to +get off the conference NOW, do it. There has been many stories of him forcably +disconnecting conferees and calling them later at home. My only run in with +him ended up with me unable to hang up on the conference (every time I picked +up the phone I got the conference) for about one hour. Remember, once Alliance +op takes control, when you "bailout" by hanging up, your phone number comes +through loud and clear. Only deal with conference operators when you know what +you are doing. However, some of them have been known to talk with conferees +about Alliance and telcom in general. + + Dangers of fraudulently started conferences seem to be slight. The only +person I knew who got caught was forced to pay for a phone call from Dallas +(where the conference was started) to his home in California. Stories of +phreaks being forced to pay $6,000 seem a little exagerated, especially +considering the cost of a conference. This is not to say it is safe, but it +definitely is safer than using 950's fraudulently. Even phreaks whom set up +serveral conferences a night for months, including the harassment of DA +operators, haven't been caught. However, I nor 2600 suggests you attempt a +fraudulent conference. Even merely permitting youself to be added to a +fraudulent conference is enough for prosecution according to AT&T. One thing +that prevents a lot of this investigation is that most fraudlent conferences +are set up with PBX's, and thus the prosecution lies with the owners of the +PBX, and AT&T isn't even involved. For this reason, PBX's often are traced. + + Another risk is that all numbers dialed are recorded by Alliance, even +misdials. The numbers dialed are all printed out and sent to a vault at the +Chicago Bell Test Labs for storage for their records. In addition,, +conferences are randomly taped and monitored for fraud. It would seem safer to +use Alliance to call an extender, and then dial out from there, as although +Alliance records all numbers dialed, logically they probably only pay attention +to numbers they intend to act on, i.e. add to the conference. The subsequent +use of a extender is a matter of investigation by another comapany, and don't +forget AT&T and the extender companies are competitors, and thus they wouldn't +go out of their ways to cooporate. + + +>>>STUNTS +========= + + Often when a conference starts to slow down, people start suggesting various +stunts to liven things up. One word of warning, most of these techniques would +be construed as harassment, and thus are illegal. One of the most common used +is adding a multitude of Directory Assistance operators. Listening to them ask +each other "What city please?" and then argueing about who belongs on the line +is extremely humorous. Confusion reigns when you attempt to get them to look +up a number. Some DA's have had this done so many times that they realize that +this is a conference and will either hang up immediately or will threaten you +with taking over your conference. Remember, only the conference operator can +take over a conference, so most of these threats are inneffectual. When any of +them give a hard time, just ask to speak to thier supevisor, as this usually +adds even more confusion. Similar things can be done with with business +offices, repair service ("sir, I'm getting all this cross talk on my line" "no, +its my line." ad infinitum) telex ops, and other phone company personel. Also, +computer compaines or other corporate bureaucracies have similar chaos +potential. One interesting thing to try is to pose as a phone company employee +for social engineering purposes. However, most phreaks fail to realize that +"TSPS maintainence" or "Bell Security" gets a little too repitious and +suspicion arousing due to their over-heavy use. + + Generally, for courtesy's sake, one should call people who generally expect +to get weird calls at odd hours, and are often bored at their jobs. Radio +station DJ's often enjoy this, as do hotel operators and bell boys. Going +international often increases the fascination with conferences. Several hotel +ops around the world expect and look forward to conferences calling them during +the dull early morning hours, and the conferences sometimes place calls for +them in appreciation. Military bases are another good site, as are unattended +payphones. Sometimes people at random are called up. It often is impossible +to convince people that they ARE getting a conference call, as they twist up +some impossible theory to explain 15 chotic people speaking at once. Even +President Reagen (2600 I-23 April 1984) and other "celebraties" have been +attempted to be reached by conferences. Often telling their secretaries that +this is a conference call can arouse their curiosity enough to come on line. A +common statement is "You damn computer hackers are so smart to have figured +this out." Little do they know how simple it is, and it also shows how people +and the mass media constantly misidentify anything mildly out of the ordinary +as the fault of computer's influence on people. (sorry about the side +digression) + + Remember that when adding recordings or extenders to a conference that they +generally will not hang up. Similarly, people added can't be forcably +disconnected with out the conference operator's help, and can stay on as long +as they want, monitoring or taking notes. Only way to rid a conference of +these is to blast 2600 down the line, with the results predicted above (I +ALWAYS get dropped by 2600 blasts) When adding "dangerous" people such as FBI +agents or informants the use of three way calling by one of the conferees is +generally more intelligent, as it permits the caller to forcably drop them. + + Many of these stunts mentioned are plain childish, rude, and unthoughtful to +others. Many of these definately would count as harassment. Frequent +resortation to these often arouses the suspicious curosity of Alliance ops. +Continual use of these may end up in a general tightening up of security in +Alliance, not due to fraudulent calls, but from complaints. Use in extreme +moderation. + +>>>OTHER CONFERENCES +==================== + + The old method of conferencing by calling the operator and asking for a +conference still works. This however is controlled physically by the operator, +as it uses a cordboard. Three way calling of course is another conferencing +option. Multi-line loops are rare, but do exist. Sometimes businesses conect +several phone lines together to form a conference. One of the most famous was +the ULCA one at 213-206-2810 to -2817 as last known. One up as of the writing +of this article is at 602-976-0770 to -0777. Another conferencing system is +City Conference in Oakland and San Francisco. Similar to this is a system +called Phone-a-Friend in Worcester, MA at (617) 550-5000 (only reachable from +within Worcester). I have also heard of others operated by Pacific Bell in +California and other telco's elsewhere. These services should soon spread soon +to more cities as local telco's search for more revenues. (what? you thought +it was free?) + + Every once and a while confences are set up in the old historical phreaking +mold on PBX switchboards or on telephone switching equipment by renegade +linemen and the like. One of the most historic of these was the "2111" +conference" which was arranged through an unused unused telex test-board trunk +in a 4A switching machine in Vancouver Canada. For several months phone +phreaks could MF via a blue box 604 (Vancouver's area code) then 2111 (code for +telex testing board) to reach phreaks and other telcom hobbiests around the +world. Sometimes conferences set up by this method are accessable via normal +phone lines. These conferences, by their very nature of actual adjustment of +switching equipment, are rare. + + Several companies offer alternate bridging services, otherwise known as +conferences. These all claim they have higher quality than Alliance. They +control the conference themselves "so you can just get down to business without +worrying about details." You can ask them to leave, but then there is no one in +control of the conference. Generally they offer smaller conferences then +Alliance's 59 (Market Navagation's limit is 19) They all charge considerably +more than AT&T (Market Navagation Inc. quoted a rate as $195 per hour for a 12 +person conference plus the cost of the dialed phone calls) You genenerally have +to set up conferences ahead of time. They all will send a bill to your +company, and some will allow the use of a credit card instead. Generally you +have to book ahead of time. Examples of these independent firms are Darome +Connection (203-797-1300), Market Navagation Inc (914-365-0123) and +Telesession. The numbers are for setting up conferences, although you can +social engineer them as well. + +>>>CONCLUSION +============= + + Basically, conferenceing, even fraudulently, is one of the safest ways to get +in contact with other telcom hobbiests, by its track record of busts. They are +very few and far between. Several times Alliance operators have dropped in on +conferences and carried on conversations with the participants. Much of the +information in this article was picked up from these sources. Often one hear's +the common comment of many telcom corporations that "they are using us as a tax +writeoff," however, how long can they keep taking losses in this +post-divestiture age of of telco competition. Expect in the near future to see +other telcom companies such as ITT, MCI, and GTE Sprint get into the act, as +conferences are really pretty cheap to set up and aren't that technicaly +exotic. Telcom hobbiests can get together to pick each others brains for info, +and starters can learn the ropes in the presence of several more experienced +phreaks. Also, just normal socializing with people all over the country is +fun, especiallly when you realize you problbly never would have never meet them +otherwise, and probably never see. In ored to join in a conference try calling +someone on it who has call waiting or tow phone lines, as he can relay to the +controller that you want to be added. Conferenceing is all in all an excellent +way to communicate with the telcom community at large, when in moderation. +Use, don't abuse. + + + >>========================================================== =<< + >>=> PHOR THE BEST IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS INPHORMATION READ <=<< + >>========================================================== =<< + >> 2600 MAGAZINE, BOX 752, MIDDLE ISLAND, NY 11953-0752 << + >> 12$ A YEAR, 1$ FOR BACK ISSUES << + >>========================================================== =<< + >>=> FOR THE BEST IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS INPHORMATION MODEM <=<< + >>========================================================== =<< + >> THE PRIVATE SECTOR BBS ... 300/1200 ......

Once it gets so loud that it refuses to let +in any more sounds, you have just completed the first cycle of the Copper Box. + Leave line off-hook for about 10 minutes or until the tone seems to calm +down, or stop completely. Then, dial again and repeat over and over again +until when you dial a last time, it [the port] doesnt answer. You have just +killed a telephone company, extender, etc. + +Theory of Operation: + What happens is that when the tone begins to rise, it is a result of cross- +talk feedback. The more you dial, the more it grows. In systems like these, +the small, sensitive equipment such as amplifiers, etc. begin to burn out as +a result of the feedback, damaging the equipment, and possibly starting a fire +at the location of the equipment. + +DOWNLOADED FROM P-80 SYSTEMS 304-744-2253 diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/cordles1.txt b/textfiles.com/phreak/cordles1.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..6e156e47 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/cordles1.txt @@ -0,0 +1,50 @@ + + + Here's the frequencies for the new cordless phones.

It +is based on the UNIX operating system and, depending upon the COSMOS and upon +your access, has some, many, or no UNIX standard commands. COSMOS is powerful, +but there is no reason to be afraid of it. This article will give some of the +basic, pertinent info on how users get in, account format, and a few other +goodies. + + Password Identification + =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- + + To get onto COSMOS you need a dialup, account, password, and wire center +(WC). Wire centers are two letter codes that tell what section of the COSMOS +you are in. There are different WC's f or different areas and groups of +exchanges. Examples are PB, SR, LK, et c. Sometimes there are accounts that +have no password; obviously such accounts are the easiest to hack. + + Checking It Out + =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- + + Let's suppose you have a COSMOS number which you obtained one way or +another. The first thing to do would be to make sure it is really a COSMOS +system, not some other Bell or AT&T computer. To do this, you would call it +and connect your modem,, then hit some returns until you got a response. It +should say: + + ';LOGIN:' or 'NAME:'. + If you enter some garbage it should say: +'PASSWORD:'. + If you hit a return and it says 'WC?', it is a COSMOS system.

They consist of ROOT (most powerful and almost +always on the system), SYS (second most powerful, still many privileges), BIN +(a little less power), PREOP (a little less), and COSMOS (hardly any +privileges, like a normal user). The way to tell if they have passwords is by +entering accounts at the ';LOGIN:' or ' NAME:' prompt, and if it jumps straight +to 'WC?', all you need is a WC to get in. But suppose all of the accounts have +passwords? You have two choices. You can try to hack the password and WC to +one of the above accounts. I won't deal with this method, as is +self-explanatory. Or you can do something I find much easier...call the +COSMOS during business hours and hope that someone forgot to log off. Keep +calling until when you connect and hit return until you get a 'WC%' prompt. +'WC' is the WC that the account you found is currently in. You are now in! + + What to Do while on-line + =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- + The first thing you want to do is write down the WC you are in. Only on our +first login it is a good idea to print everything or dump everything to a +buffer. + + Commands + =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- +'WCFLDS'(!) : Should list all WC's. +'WHO' : Should print everyone currently logged on the system, giving +some accounts. +'TTY' : Tells what terminal port you are on. +'WHERE' : Should tell the location of the COSMOS installation. +'WHAT' : Tells what version of COSNIX, COSMOS's operating system, it +is. +'LS *' : Prints all the files you have access to. +'CD /dir' : Connects you to the directory '/dir'. +'CAT filename ' : Prints the file 'filename'. +'Q' : Quits the editor. +CTRL- Y. : Logs off +'TAT' : Sometimes prints a little help file. +'ISH' : Check someone's telefone #, type 'ISH' at the COSMOS 'WC%' +prompt. Then type. +'HTN XXX-XXXX' : (Hunt Telephone Number) to tell you about the local number +you are interested in. + +'CAT /ETC/PASSWD': Prints out the password file, if you have access. The +passwords are almost always encrypted, but you get a list of all the accounts. +If you are lucky, one of the lines will have two colons after the account name. +This means there is no prompt from the ';LOGIN:' or 'NAME:' prompts when you +enter that account. + +To run a file just type the name followed by a return. + + When the system gives you a '-', you type a '.', and it will type all kinds +of info on the phone number you entered (in Bell abbreviations, of course). If +it is not a good exchange, it will say something to that effect. You type a +period to end the ISH. + If you wish to learn more information about COSMOS, find yourself a COSMOS +manual or look at future issues of 2600.

The case is in the final stages of attempted +negotiations toward a settlement, in my personal view it is likely to +go to "trial" before the Texas Public Utilities Commission in the next +few months. * + +COSUARD has a bulletin board with all the legal documents and a lot of +discussion of the case if anyone wants to catch up. I don't have the +number of the main board, which has been down lately anyway, but the +board at (713) 787-5454 should have the important stuff. + +It is important to remember that the local phone companies in the U.S. +are public utilities. They are government sponsored and regulated, +privately owned monopolies. The services they offer and the rates +they charge for those services are set by legislation (perhaps +indirectly through a commission or other regulatory body). Therefore +the question of what rate a customer should be charged is an equal +protection question, not a supply-and-demand question. + +The legislation and administrative law that regulate the phone +companies in most states is designed to further a public policy +objective of universal access, and conciously sacrifices "fair" +allocation of costs to do so. In Texas the applicable regulations +essentially state that lines run to residences and not singled out by +a list of special rules for business rates are to be charged the +subsidized residential rates. The special cases basically reduce to +business operation, generally conforming to what a reasonable layman +would expect the term to mean (including organized non-profit activity +as businesses). + +Southwestern Bell, which has a history of back-door maneuvering to the +detriment of modem users in Oklahoma, has decided that ALL BBS's are +actually businesses in disguise. Enough of that here, we can discuss +it until the cows come home in alt.cosuard. Suffice it to say that, +at least in the Texas case, line usage patterns are not the issue. +This is true from a legal theory standpoint and has been stated on +several occassion by representitives of SWB. + +Finally, why should you care what rate BBS operators are charged? +Because the data communications hobby is an important source of +innovation and practical experience in the technical aspects of the +art, it serves to empower the handicapped, it has the potential to +become a medium for democracy at a time when traditional media are +abdicating the role, and it serves as a good-will ambasador for the +industry, giving thousands of people a pleasant and meaningful +introduction to computers. + +I like to draw an analogy between the data communications hobby of +today and the ham radio hobby in its early days. In short, I stongly +believe it is worth protecting, and it is vulnerable to economic +pressure of the kind we are discussing. Many boards in Texas shut +down when it looked like they might have to pay only about $15 more +per month -- most boards operate on a very thin budget. + + Steve Nuchia, member of the board of COSUARD + +* -- COSUARD is not a party to the pending legal action (nor am I), + but has a close cooperative relationship with the parties. + +Steve Nuchia South Coast Computing Services (713) 964-2462 +"Man is still the best computer that we can put aboard a spacecraft -- + and the only one that can be mass produced with unskilled labor." + -

Growth in the +use of analog wireless services and, of course, the burst in "junk +calling" made economical by recent long distance rate reductions are +certainly also factors. But the new Caller*ID and ANI delivery +services share primary responsibility for the unprecedented level of +state and federal legislative and regulatory activity seeking to +strengthen all forms of privacy protection. Because of the ease of +public access to state regulatory forums and the high profile +currently enjoyed by telecommunications generally, the telephone +industry -- much more so than, for example, the direct mailers, the +credit/collection industries, or other personal data manupulators -- +has become the focal point of public criticism concerning issues +affecting perceived personal privacy. This is, without question, a +good and healthy development, perhaps even long overdue. + +The telcos' recent cavalier attempts to introduce new caller +identification services as though "nothing has changed" now face +hostile challenges, even adverse backlash, with potential technical +and disappointing economic consequences. For example, network +technology and new revenue generating applications are being +threatened by popular but naive state and federal proposals which +would mandate calling number blocking at the caller's option while +refusing to recognize that this solution is not technically feasible +with most forms of CPID delivery -- not even with the most +sophisticated ISDN-based delivery methods. (ISDN protocol allows for +the insertion of a "privacy code" in the data stream, but nevertheless +delivers the private data across the network on the presumption that +the receipient will honor the "code".) + +Although Caller*ID and other similar Calling Party Identification +(CPID) services so far have been approved in more jurisdictions than +have turned them down, it is apparent that momentum is building +against their deployment, at least in their intended mode -- that is, +on a universal, nonoptional basis without number blocking. The +proponents of ubiquitous CPID delivery appear to be at a loss to come +up with a publicly acceptable yet cost effective technical or +alternative service solution to the publics' privacy concerns which +would not also substantially undermine CPID functionality and its +commercial and private utility. + +Specifically, the public's privacy concerns seem to have settled on +the three obviious: (1) protection of the caller's need or desire +under particular calling circumstances not to disclose the number from +which his/her call is originating; (2) a perceived telephone company +duty to avoid all forms of unwarranted number disclosure on behalf of +those who have subscribed to and rely on nonpublished and unlisted +telephone number service; and (3) control over the use and +dissemination of CPID information delivered over the network. + +But despite its best intentions, to date CPID proponents have been +able to agree only on the following meager suggestions: (1) promotion +of the use of telephones, calling card and local operator services as +means by which callers can avoid disclosing their telephone number; +and (2) help agencies and institutions requiring protection against +number disclosure or unwanted "call backs" should order service from a +designated local exchange set aside by the LEC to guarantee number +anonymity, or subscribe to so-called outward-only exchange services. +(While the US West operating companies have acquiesed to requiring +nondisclosure agreements from noncarrier recipients of CPID +information as a method of containing abuse, this practice is far from +considered acceptable by the carrier industry generally.) + +The first set of alternatives leaves an impression of arrogance and +insensitivity to the practical needs and circumstances of callers +desiring number anonymity. The second alternatives are not +universally available and will involve added line costs to the help +agencies. As for controls limiting re-use and resale of network +generated information, the CPID providers fear that these would +undermine the usefulness of CPID information to a large segment of the +potential commercial market. + +Calling number blocking is surfacing as everyone's suggested answer to +the number anonymity problem. While both selective call-by-call or +calling line number blocking on all calls are technically feasible, +they tend to deminish the utility of CPID services for present and +planned applications. However, CPID proponents appear willing to +accept very limited blocking provided it is extended only to certain +categories of customers and call-based help services, such as hot +lines. But this solution could prove impossible to administer and +might even be unlawfully discriminatory under existing regulatory +statutes. + +The lack of significant progress after nearly two years of wrestling +with the CPID privacy issues suggests the need to exhaust and possibly +mandate nontechnical approaches. These might include the following: + +First, there should be strict institutional controls limiting the use +of CPID and other telephone generated data and information, and +restricting telemarketing call practices. Such controls could be +industry self-administered or, if this proves to be ineffective, they +could be prescribed by regulators and set forth in the telcos' +exchange tariffs. In either case, consensus on specific conduct +guidelines will not be reached among industry participants alone +without the intervention of either legislators or regulators. Thus, +it behooves the CPID advocates -- both providers and potential users -- +to move in this direction and embrace outside intervention in +developing a code of conduct quickly, before short-sighted technical +restraints or other absolute prohibitions are immposed and become +irreversible. + +Second, there should be a widespread CPID public awareness campaign +sponsored by CPID providers and supported by all commercial users of +such services and those who manufacture or sell products capable of +receiving or capturing CPID data. + +Third, the industry should adopt a simple, universally recognisible +symbol (such as the asterick) which can be printed in association with +the publication or other promotion of any telephone number which is +equipped to capture CPID information. The purpose of this symbol +would be to alert callers that their number or other network +identifiable information might be captured or recognized by the called +party. It would appear in directories and in all ads or other +promotions involving display of numbers equipped to receive CPID +information. + +Finally, if and where CPID blocking is prescribed, it should be +offered only to existing subscribers and only for a reasonable +transitional period. Blocking should not be offered to new or changed +subscribers, and should be phasessd out for grandfathered subscribers +after a reasonable period has been allowed for all customers to become +familiar with the fact that new and evolving telecommunications +capabilities and services can no longer assure number anonymity. (New +and relocating subscribers would be informed that there can no longer +be an automatic expectation of caller anonymity with normal uses of +the telephone network.) + +Meanwhile, the publicity evoked by Caller*ID has had a multiplier +effect. It has stimulated public policy debate, first at the state +and now the federal level, on telecommuications privacy issues +extending beyond just the original question of caller anonymity. +This, in turn, has resulted in an unprecedented number of legislative +and regulatory proposals and even judicial proceedings which , if not +effectively addressed by knowledgeable and interested parties, could +lead to a patch quilt of unworkable or ineffective new laws and +regulations which fall short of satisfying either sides' best +interests and which could have unintended and disappointing results. + +The most recent step targeted at curbing the spread of CPID/ANI +deployment without controls was the introduction of Senate Bill S. +2030 by Senator Kohl (D.WI) referred to as the "Telephone Privacy Act +of 1990". This bill would amend The Electronic Privacy Act of l986 to +require that any provider of telephone services which include a caller +identification delivery capability must also furnish, at no additional +charge, the capability for the caller to prevent the "dissemination of +their telephone numbers to persons of their choosing." Civil remedies +would be made available to persons aggrieved by violations of the new +law. According to Senator Kohl, the purpose of the bill is not to +curb technology, but to open debate on telecommunications-related +privacy issues generally. + +Moving in this same direction, Dr. Bonnie Guiton, Special Advisor to +the President on Consumer Affairs, has convened a task force of +industry representatives, known as the Privacy in Telecommunications +Working Group, to make recommendations to how to proceed in this +emerging privacy area. (I have been invited as a member of the task +group). While the Kohl Bill and CPID/ANI issues generally fall within +the scope of the task force assignment, it will address all areas of +telecommunications privacy-related matters. + diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/cptrredl.txt b/textfiles.com/phreak/cptrredl.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..58e55bdf --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/cptrredl.txt @@ -0,0 +1,96 @@ + ============================= + CAPTURING REDIAL + Quick & Dirty by oleBuzzard + Written Today / 03-JAN-96 + (c) 1996 Communications + ============================= + + +INTRO + + Ok, here's the scenario: You're at someone's house.

You basically capture + the last number that was dialed from a TouchTone(c) phone and keep it + for later use. So now the question is, how do you do the capture. Well + there's a number of way you can do it, but after some consideration, I + think I've come up with a method thats both fairly inexpensive, VERY + effective, and quite practical. Heres what you need: + + * Radio Shack Pocket Dialer w/Memory + Catalog Number: 43-146 + Price: $24.99 + + * Any Brand Pager. + + Alrght, here it is, plain, simple, and effective: + + 1. Take your Radio Shack Dialer and program it with the number to + your pager. + + 2. Keep your dialer with you at all times. (Every good + phreak should have one anyway.) + + 3. When you need to make a Capture, wait for the person + who has made the call to get off the phone (obviously.) + + 4. Pick-up the same phone the person has made the call from. + + 5. Hold the Pocket Dialer up to the Mouth Piece of the phone, and + press the Memory button (assuming you did like I said and + programmed the Dialer with your pager number. If not dial you're + a bonehead and you have to dial your Pager number manually witht + the Pocket Dialer.) + + 6. Once your Pager answers and requests you to "[E]nter the number + you are dialing from at the tone," hit REDIAL on the phone. Once + the phone has redialed, hang-up. + + 7. Beep-beep. Check your pager. You have just captured the last + number dialed from that phone. + + Like I said, plain, simple, and cool enough to be in a James Cameron + flick. + +WHAT DUMBASS?!? + + By the way, I've already been asked the Ingenious question: "how + come you need a Pocket Dialer to do this? Why can't you just call your + Pager and then hit Redial on the phone and Capture the Redial that + way?" Well you can, but the only Number you'll be capturing is your + own pager number you just dialed. (Duh!) If you wan't to Capture the + redial you have to find away to dial a source which will decode the + DTMF tones, and you have to be able to preserve the tones in the first + place. The closest alternative to the method described in this file, + is to call your Pager on one phone in the house, and once your + page answers, pick-up the phone you want to Capture from and hit + Redial. This'll work fine, but you might have a little trouble + remaining inconspicuous about the whole thing--running back and forth + and all. + +OUTRO + + Anyway, that's it.

Bell +- Building a By-Phone +- Poetry from Spiral Chambers #8 + "State of the Nation", by Janet Kuypers + "Shades of Gray", by Liz Dubuisson + + + Greetings and Salutations! + +A year ago, I started getting an increase in inquiries about an electronic +version of _Cybertek: The Cyberpunk Technical Journal_; a print 'zine I +started back in the Spring of 1990 (which was the resurrection of an earlier +'zine, _The UTU Journal_, which I worked on in 1986, but I digress). Over the +course of the year I looked into the possibility of doing so, and the +inquiries started adding up. + +Doing an e-zine has several advantages. The time required and financial outlay +is less than that of a print zine, the distribution is easier, and your +potential audience is wider. It also has its disadvantages. Many ignorant, +misinformed, and just plain outright malevolent types in the power structure +feel that electronic media for some reason has less freedom under the First +Amendment than does print media; where there is currently no doubt about the +sanctity of the freedom of press and speech. America On-Line, in a recent +attempt to maintain the "decency" of their service, prohibited the use of the +word "breast" on their service. This caused an untold amount of grief to +people who were having discussions about (breast) cancer and certain aspects +of infant care (breast feeding). That is just the tip of the iceberg. Current +legislation in Congress and the Senate, if passed, would not only impose +censorship on the Internet, but also outright gut the First Amendment. They +claim all the standard "humanitarian" reasons for their drive to impose +censorship, but appears that they fail to realize the truth behind Ben +Franklin's immortal words "If you trade a little freedom for a little +security, soon you will have neither." + +My attitude has always been that since man seems incapable of governing +himself, then he's even less capable of governing others. At least though, if +you give someone the opportunity of choosing their own path, and the +capability towards self-sufficiency and self-reliance (in essence self- +government); the fault or merit of their actions rests solely on their head. +They can either choose to exist as a free spirit, or fall into the trap of +complacency and stupidity that a significant portion of society seems to have +unfortunately fallen into. Either way, they were given the opportunity to go +either way and their resultant situation, good or bad, is attributable to no +one but themselves. + +Cybertek has always, through education, tried to prompt people to not be +afraid to think for themselves, do their own research, come to their own +conclusions, maintain their self-sufficiency and self-reliance, and seek their +own path; wherever it may lead. I hope the encouragement and spread of these +memes are properly continued through Cybertek Electric, and that when the time +comes, those who have been so touched defend their divine right to do what +they shall, as long as it harms none. + +Anyway, we'll be publishing Cybertek Electric on a sporadic basis (dependent +on feedback and submissions) through Usenet, via a mailing list (Email me at +either of my addresses at the end of this issue if you're interested in +getting it mailed directly to you.), and through RuneStone BBS, IIRG WHQ +(860-585-9638, NUP: Cyberdeck). I hope you all enjoy our latest endeavor. + + -Thomas Icom/IIRG + May Odin guide your way. + + ---/////--- + + Monitoring Russian Communications + by Tom Roach + + +A fascinating facet but not widely publicized portion of the SWL hobby is the +monitoring of Russian radioteletype (RTTY) and continuous wave (CW) i.e. Morse +code, transmissions. Why the Russians? Regrettably, because they are about +the only ones left who send any amount of meaningful unencrypted traffic on +HF. With the terrible financial status that governs most of Russian commerce, +the financial resources to update this antiquated system are not yet in place. +Still, as Janis Joplin said "Get it while you can!". Many fascinating insights +can be gained from pursuing this relatively seldom pursued hobby of monitoring +HF radioteletype signals. In the future you once again may gain an insight +into the Soviet Space program by monitoring the messages sent to their space +program's Space Event Support Ships (SESS). Since the end of the cold war the +Russians have been forced to mothball this incredible fleet of collection +vessels. Perhaps when things stabilize these interesting ships and their +fascinating communications will be heard once again by fascinated hobbyists. + +Today's hobbyist will have to be satisfied with Russian commerce. This isn't +all that grim. You might come across the cargo manifest of a Russian +freighter. This may be the first indication to the general public if the +Russian bear turns sinister, as they may change from carrying fish meal to +weapons. You certainly will be able to find out more about the Russian +fishing industry then you ever cared to know! But learning how to analyze +these messages is great training in case things liven up. T here is always the +adventure of at sea medical emergencies.

Love, Slava. + + ----- + +As you can see you can never be sure of what you will come across. The +following is based on my personal exposure to this facet of the SWL world. I +have tried to provide the names of vendors for specialized books or equipment +as necessary. My opinions on equipment are just that. Given the constraints +of cost and interest level, whatever works for you is best. I only hope that +you will share the fruits of your experience with others, on Compuserve or the +Internet. Please read the following in the spirit it is given; a desire to +share what knowledge I have picked up since concentrating on this part of the +SWL hobby. + + Soviet CW + +In theory this will be the least expensive of two paths of the hobby since the +receiver requirements are less critical, and therefore less costly. To really +keep expenses low you need only to be able to copy Morse code. Technology +opens the door for those with the budget who can not copy Morse code. Even if +you can copy Morse, you better be able to copy at least 20 WPM and that is at +the slow end of the spectrum for most Soviet CW transmissions. Also the +Soviets use special Morse characters for some characters peculiar to the +Cyrillic alphabet. When you are ripping along at 20 WPM a "new" or unfamiliar +character can throw you for a loop. For example "di di dah dah" is the Morse +symbol for the Russian "YA". Not especially difficult but it will take you a +while to add new characters to those you already know and still copy at 20 +WPM. A complete table of Morse code characters for Russian, Japanese, Arabic +and other languages can be found on page 19-3 of the 1988 [or later] ARRL +Handbook (approximately $20). This book, and I presume the more recent +editions, also has a lot of other useful technical information and should be +in every serious SWL'rs library. + +As already noted, the receiver requirements for CW are less stringent than for +RTTY. Among relatively low cost alternatives, I find the Sony ICF-2010, an +already excellent ISWBC receiver, generally adequate for CW. I recently made +a side by side comparison of my NRD-525 and the Sony. I connected them both +to the same 100 foot longwire and tuned to a weak CW signal. Using this +highly "scientific" comparison I found that the weak signal was +completely audible on both receivers. In a crowded environment the Sony's +lower quality "narrow" filter will not perform in the same league as a NRD-525 +equipped with a 500 Hz filter. [I have since moved up to a Watkins-Johnson HF- +1000 receiver with a CW bandwidth as narrow as 56 Hz is now possible!]. +When I first tried to compare the NRD-525 with the Sony on the same signal +(see comments on "COL" in Havana, Cuba which is discussed later), I wrote the +Sony off as a total loss. I couldn't hear the signal at all on the Sony while +it was loud and clear on the NRD. Then it dawned on me. I tuned the Sony 800 +Hz BELOW the actual RF (in this case the NRD was on 15024 kHz and the Sony was +retuned to 15023.2 kHz) and my initial disgust turned to satisfaction. So if +you are using a Sony ICF-2010 or a receiver which works in a similar manner, +don't forget to SUBTRACT the 800 Hz when tuning for CW signals based on +"exact" frequencies listed by the Confidential Frequency List (CFL) {also to +be discussed further below} or similar publications. For those that have the +money you might think you could purchase an M6000 or M7000 and read the CW on +a VDT or computer monitor. My attempts at doing this indicate that the signal +better be near perfect quality if you expect good results. The best automatic +CW demodulator is a poor second to a practiced human working a "typical" CW +signal. Assuming you are able to copy Soviet CW, what can you expect to find +in this traffic? Soviet CW often sends messages that appear identical to +those you will see if you are able to copy Soviet radioteletype. The Soviets +also use CW to transmit weather warnings and naval area closures. I recall +one message notifying of a closure in the East China Sea. I used the +Compuserve "GO NEWSGRID" feature using the keyword MILITARY. A recovered news +story revealed the Chinese were holding a simulated nuclear attack war game in +this area. From personal experience I can recommend Ferrell's Confidential +Frequency List (9th edition) [CFL] as a source of exact frequencies to tune to +for either CW or RTTY. In many cases the CFL will tell you the exact UTC time +at which Naval weather or Naval warnings will be broadcast. To successfully +monitor radioteletype signals you will need a good short wave receiver, a +radioteletype "decoder" device, and a computer or video monitor. First, the +receiver. The requirement for radioteletype is that your receiver be "stable" +and selective. The stability is required because if your receiver drifts in +frequency, then the signal you send to the decoder device will eventually be +unusable. The Soviets seem to use stable transmitters so any drift you deal +with is likely to be due to your receiver. The selectivity requirement is to +keep other nearby signals from interfering with you. If you have an HF-1000 +you can set the bandwidth to 225 Hz otherwise for most receivers I find the +"narrow" 500 Hz bandwidth filter works nicely with "standard" 170 Hz frequency +shift signals For ARQ/SI TOR A signals the bandwidth should be at least 325 +Hz. Actually a good decoder like the M-7000 seems to tolerate interference +from "nearby" signals quite well. In reality you will seldom find two signals +which interfere with each other because they a re close to the same frequency. +They are usually either the same frequency [no filter will help that!] or on +an adjacent channel and thus separated enough in frequency so the pose little +threat of interfering with the chosen signal. For RTTY your receiver should +ideally be tunable in frequency increments of 10 Hz or better. It also would +be nice if the receiver was actually tuned to exactly the frequency it +indicates. An error as small as 40 Hz, whether from drift, mistuning, or poor +receiver tuning calibration can result in a garbled signal. Receivers of +adequate technical means to monitor radioteletype include (but are not limited +to) the Kenwood R-5000, JRC NRD-525/535D series, Watkins-Johnson HF-1000, and +the ICOM R-71A. Top notch receivers [new] will cost somewhere between $800 to +$4000. You should a reasonably good antenna and a relatively noise (RFI) free +location. By reasonably good, a "longwire" at least 25 feet, or more, in +length is desirable. The next component in the system is the RTTY decoder. I +suggest you discuss this purchase with the technical staff of any of the major +SWL retail stores [EEB, Gilfer, Universal Radio, Grove are popular in the +United States, and Lowe in Great Britain]. If you live in the United States, +look for their ads in magazines such as Monitoring Times or Popular +Communications. + +I like to be able to store intercepted radioteletype data in a computer file +for subsequent analysis, not just read it off a monitor or print it out. There +are PC compatible decoder cards but my personal favorite decoder box remains +the Universal M-7000. If you do buy an M-7000, be SURE that the RS-232 is +correctly wired. It does NOT use the standard "straight through" connections. +Make sure your dealer understands and can supply or tell you how to rewire the +RS-232 plug. The Russians still use one of the least complex RTTY transmission +schemes to transmit the majority of their radioteletype messages. [Note: This +is still true although they are using ARQ/SITOR A as well]. Most of the +signals you will want to copy use a 50 baud speed with a 170 Hz, frequency +shift to transmit data. I often pick up Soviet ships in the ARQ or SITORA +mode as well. For the optimal subsequent analysis of your data you are best +served if you have a microcomputer. + + MONITORING AND ANALYZING SOVIET DATA + +First you must locate a Russian signal to monitor. I live on the West coast +of the United States so I find it particularly easy to monitor transmissions +from Vladivostok and Petropavlovsk. Both of these Russian cities are renowned +military and civilian maritime hotbeds. Another Russian city close to +Vladivostok which also generates maritime traffic of interest is Nakhodka. It +is very helpful to have some good reference material. Based on the logs I have +seen from listeners in the mid West an d East coast of the United States, +Russian signals are even easier to find. A good place to look for frequencies +bands to monitor is the CFL or Confidential Frequency List. If you are on the +Internet, send me an enmail message and I will tell you how to join a +shortwave group which specializes in monitoring these sort and similar +transmissions [troach@netcom.com]. The following are some bands where you are +likely to encounter Russian radioteletype activity. 6300.5 to 6311.5 kHz +6314.5 to 6501.0 kHz 8396.5 to 8437.0 kHz 12560.0 to 12656.5 kHz 16785 to +16903.0 kHz If you live on the West coast of the United States things are not +as active as they are on the East coast. If you live in Europe, well I don't +think you will have ANY trouble finding signals to work on. For my location +(San Jose, CA) I currently [December 1995] find the 8 and 12 Mhz segments the +best during early to mid-evening. Following the instructions which came with +your decoder, set your decoder for 170 Hz, 50 baud signals. Tune in 500 Hz +increments between the signal RF limits listed above. I have discovered four +other frequencies. Typical Russian radioteletype traffic can be heard from +Soviet station UKA in Vladivostok. It often consists of the Soviet equivalent +of MARSGRAMS. That is to say relatively brief messages from the families and +loved ones of Russian men and women working at sea, often on a huge fishing +vessel. If you know just a few words of Russian you can tell these messages +from the rest. As I noted in my comments on Soviet CW, look for the Russian +word TSELEUM. With the knowledge of just a few such words you can usually +get the drift of most messages. The PK-232, and probably other RTTY or CW +decoders feature a mode which outputs text in what is known as "transliterated +Cyrillic" or "code 3". This means you get Russian words that read most like +English. For example code 2 "Wladiwostok" is the more familiar "Vladivostok" +in code 3. If you are used to manually copying Soviet CW, then you have been +using "code 2". Another type of message which abounds is official messages +that list the types and amounts of cargo. One I message I saw kept using the +word TONNE preceded by some numbers and followed by TRESKA. A Russian +dictionary reveals their cargo as cod fish. Another category of message that +you may see are the KRIPTOGRAMMA series of messages. These are encrypted +messages of a secret or private nature. Here is an example of such a +transmission of a KRIPTOGRAMMA message: + +UPTZH UPTZH DE UKA K + +["UPTZH" (code 3) equates to a call sign in English (code 2) of "UPTV" which +the ITU listing reveals as belonging to the Severo'uralsk. She is being +called by "UKA", a Vladivostok coastal station that sends traffic to Soviet +fishing vessels. + +This might be followed by: + +SR VLADIVOSTOK 7093/1895 245 9/6 1400= + +[This header reveals the message as coming from Vladivostok. It is numbered +"7093/1895" has 245 groups and was transmitted on "9/6" or the 9th of June at +1400 (Moscow Time). + +SROCHNAYA KRIPTOGRAMMA [Immediate precedence KRIPTOGRAMMA] + +3 PUNKTA + +PB SUZDAL' +PB SEVEROURALSK +PB SUKHONA + +OT MALAKHITA 108 = + +The above is the address list and goes to three Soviet fishing vessels: +Suzdal', Severouralsk, and Sukhona. I don't know what the "OT MALAKHITA 108= " +means, except that OT is "from" and MALAKHITA is probably a meaningless name +like Sky King in our SAC messages. Then the message which might start +something like this: + +DDDDD AAAAA AAAYAYA YAKKKR RREEE EEESHCHSHCH SHCHSHSHSHTS TSTSDDJ IUTKP LJNKHG +FNFASH SHCHSHSHKHY OEKEYU GNNKYA PEVSH4 YUINJK ILIKHY YAKNPT ZHSGMTS +BTSRTOIFG4Z etc., which is encrypted. + +I have noted at least three distinct types of KRIPTOGRAMMA messages. The "NA +PERFOLENTE" header always appears to be followed a five letter group (if you +are in code 2 mode). My reading of Kahn's The Codebreakers makes me think this +may be a rotor setting of the sort used by the Nazi Enigma or Japanese Purple +code machines. These are variants of the old Hagelin type machines. Aegean +Park Press (Box 2837, Laguna Hills, California 92654) sells software for the +IBM PC which can be used to break simple rotor machines. In any event who +knows what luck you might have trying to decrypt them. Good luck trying to +decipher Soviet Kriptogrammas! + +What do you do with the messages you intercept? I study them, and find I +slowly understand more and more of what they have to say. You might soon +become an expert in knowing how many fish the Russians are catching. The names +of Soviet ships once associated with the Soviet Academy of Sciences are +preceded by "NIS" in the address portion of the message. + +You also might keep a data base of information related to a specific ship. +Who are the crew members who send messages? What is the ship Captain's name +(usually prefaced by "KMD")? Is there a sudden increase in KRIPTOGRAMMA +messages? As you examine the traffic day after day you will come up with +ideas of your own. + +There are numerous books available that you might find valuable if you are +seriously considering monitoring the Russians. I have written an in depth book +titled _The Hobbyist's Guide to COMINT Collection and Analysis_. It is +available for $26 in the CO NUS and $28 for foreign orders. Send orders to: + +Tom Roach +1330 Copper Peak Lane +San Jose, CA 95120-4271 + +You also may enjoy "The American Black Chamber" by Herbert Yardley and "The +Codebreakers" by Herman Kahn. + + ///// + + Urban Survival, Part I + by Douglas P. Bell + +To start with, let's get over the idea that all survivalists are going to get +out of "the city" in time to set up a "survival retreat". Not all survivalists +are going to have the money, time or inclination to leave the city life and +move to the middle of nowhere. First off, leaving your job and having no money +will doom you faster than anything you can think of! Also some of us just +enjoy the city lifestyle and do not enjoy the bucolic life. So the problem +remains, what are the urban survivalists to do? + +Let's start with shelter. Most of us live in either single family homes or +apartments and if you rent your house or apartment that limits what you can +and can not do there. After all, it would do little good if you were to set up +a fully equipped nuclear bomb shelter in the basement and got thrown out the +following week! + +However, this does not mean you are totally at the mercy of the landlord and +the elements. First off, try talking to your landlord about survivalism, or +just feel them out about their ideas of the future. This might include nuclear +war, depression, gov't control over their life, etc. If done carefully, many +people who would otherwise think of you as a fool or nut case will come around +very nicely. If not, well you aren't out anything. + +If you live in one of the impersonal high-rise apartment buildings, and they +have nothing to do with you outside of getting your rent check, you might try +and find out where the chimney and venting pipes are and if you are near +enough you can tap into them for your heat and air without anyone knowing. If +the heat supply was cut off for some reason, you could put in a small wood/oil +burning stove, vent it right out the chimney, and no one would know it was +you. + +For a water supply, you could use 2 liter pop bottles or plastic gallon milk +jugs. If you happen to live in an apartment building with a gravity fed water +system, that is the water supply is on the roof, during bad times you could +simply go up on the roof, shut the valves off, and tell everyone the water +supply ran out. No matter what you do, it would not hurt to have a good supply +of water stored just in case. + +As to food, a years supply of freeze dried, air dried and canned goods can be +stored in a closet; so space, if you really want it, should not be a big +problem. Normally there is a lot of "dead" space to be found, under tables, +beds, dressers, desks, etc., so that you should be able to store a goodly +amount of stuff away where it will be out of sight, or at least out of the +way. + +For cooking that food a wood stove will work just fine; although camp stoves, +such as the Coleman, are also small, reasonably light weight and easy to use. +Remember however that burning anything will use up your Oxygen, so have an +outside air supply coming in. This is especially true of charcoal stoves or +grills. Used in an enclosed area it will simply put you to sleep, for good! +Also beware of treated wood or plastics that will give off toxic fumes, so you +don't poison yourself. + +Now I know you've been waiting for this, so we will now talk about guns. What +exactly you need is not easily done from long distance, although there are a +few basic things that most people can agree on. In urban fighting, distances +are not likely to be long, a few hundred yards at most, so you don't need a +full power battle rifle capable of shooting 1000 yards and through several +walls. Also depending on where you are, you may not be able to legally own +handguns or "assault" style weapons. + +All is not lost however. A short barreled lever action rifle, such as the +Winchester 94 "Trapper" model, Marlin 336, 1894 or Rossie M92 is not likely to +send the neighbors into fits of rage as would a H&K 91 or 94. The SKS in +7.62x39 is in about the same power range as the .30-30 and is extremely cheap +right now (in the $100-$140 range, although this is always going up), as is +the ammo, so you might consider it as well. The Marlin "Camp" guns in either +9mm Luger or .45 ACP would also make good " house" guns, although the range +out of the short barrels or in the pistol calibers would be limited. + +That's not all bad however, as a city in break down is likely to have roving +bands of gangs or even National Guard units (remember after Hurricane Hugo +when the Guard units joined in the looting?) that are better armed and/or more +willing to use their weapons than you. So the less shooting you do, the less +attention you will attract to yourself. + +For close range firepower or "street sweeping" it is hard to beat a shotgun. A +discount house here (and many gunshows) often have the Remington 870 Express +model with a rifle slug barrel and a vent rib "Rem-Choke" (interchangeable +screw in choke) barrel for under $300.00, which has to be one of the great +bargains in the firearms field. The only down side of this gun is it is only +available in 12 gauge, and many smaller or less experienced shooters might +prefer 20 gauge, although regular 870s are available in just about any gauge +you could want. + +Other shotguns you might also want to look at are the Winchester 1200/1300 or +Ranger models as well as the Mossberg 500, especially the Bullpup model that +moves the action back just in front of the recoil pad and gives the gun an +overall length of under 30" with an 18" barrel or just over 30" with a 20" +barrel. Get the longer 20" barrel as the added few inches will dampen the +recoil and especially the noise or blast when compared to an 18" barrel. + +For left handed shooters or others who don't want the shells ejected from the +side for some reason, the Ithaca 37 (or Model 87 as it is currently called) +and Browning BPS ejects the shells out the bottom, so the shells land at your +feet instead of flinging past the left handers' face. Remington also makes a +left handed 870 if you would want one. + +As to handguns, the police departments of many cities are turning in their +revolvers for 9mm automatics. This has placed a goodly number of revolvers in +either .38 Special or .357 Magnum on the market at very reasonable prices. +Many of these guns will have holster wear, that is the bluing of the gun will +be worn, but this will in no way affect how the gun shoots. + +If possible, get the .357 Magnum over the same model in .38 Special (such as +the S&W Model 10 in .38 Special and the same thing in .357 called the Model +13) and adjustable sights if offered. The .357 Magnum can shoot .38 Specials +just fine, and this gives you the choice of two different cartridges (.38 +Special and .357 Magnum) rather than just one (.38 Special), as well as being +able to sight in for the different loads. + +Now that you have decided where you are going to weather out the coming bad +times, in your house or apartment, what you are going to eat, the years' worth +(or more!) of food you have stored, and what you are going to defend yourself +with, your urban weapons cache, now what? What else is there? + +Well how about sanitation and hygiene! What are you going to do when you can't +flush your toilet? Do you have any soap or toilet paper stored away? Dish +washing soap, laundry detergent, shampoo, hand soap, anything? What about +toothbrushes and toothpaste? How about flyswatters, bug repellent or screens +and netting? + +The epidemics that ran over much of Europe in the Middle Ages, and most war +zones even today, are because of the improper disposal of human waste and/or +the improper handling of food, but how many times do you hear about it? Not +often. After all no one wants to read about toilets and guns in the same +article. It brings the idea home a little closer than most of us want to admit +to. + +For the urban survivalist this is more pressing than for their rural +counterparts, simply because the urban survivalist will (generally) not have +the room to build an outhouse or some way to easily dispose of the waste. +Sure you can get a chemical toilet, but what happens when you run out of +plastic bags and chemicals? You should think about getting a composting toilet +or some other form of an alternate disposal unit. For more about sanitation +and alternate forms of doing things, I recommend you go down to your local +library or magazine rack and get Garbage (435 Ninth St., Brooklyn, NY 11215- +9937, bi-monthly, $21..00 a year), or write the following for catalogs: Bay +Conservation Systems, Inc., POB 67, Wicomico Church, VA 22579, and Real Goods +Trading Co., 966 Mazzoni St., Ukiah, CA 95482. + +Another useful idea is the use of camouflage. No I don't mean you should be +running around in a set of "cammies", I mean the art of hiding yourself or +home so that they would be overlooked by someone looking for someone or +something to attack. + +After "the day", there probably will not be many homes with a fresh coat of +paint or that are all neatly kept, so yours shouldn't be either. Also a beaten +path to your door just might lead the world to it. The less inviting or lived +in a place looks the less likely someone will want to check it out. + +Also your garden need not be in neat rows or even in normal garden plants, as +there are many plants that most people would not even recognize as food +plants, that are easily grown. Look into getting an indoor green house or have +pots of food plants inside. + +A source of energy (light or heat) was touched on briefly in the first +article, with a wood burning stove or camping stove, but sooner or later you +will want or need more than that. But what could you use? + +How about setting up your own still? No you aren't going to drink the +stuff, you are going to use it to run the camp stove, or with slight +modification, to run the gas engine on your generator or other power tools. +Alcohol can be made from almost any plant matter from grass to pine needles, +so as long as vegetation grows you should be able to get some sort of alcohol. +Wind power or solar panels would also be possibilities, as would water power; +although a full scale water power plant that would provide enough power to be +of any great use by itself would be more than most would be able to manage, at +least at first. However, this still leaves solar and wind, two items that can +be used with a minimum of resources or material. + +Another item that is often overlooked or not fully explained are medical items +and medicines. Some books or articles simply tell you to talk to your doctor +and explain what you want and get prescriptions for the needed items. I don't +know what kind o f doctors these people have been dealing with, but none that +I have talked to were willing to consider it, or even talk about the subject +or need. + +This leaves you with the supermarket and drug store items or buying +veterinarian supplies, neither of which is ideal. However if you are able to +get to Mexico, you can buy prescription drugs across the counter, and many +non-narcotic drugs are readily available. For narcotic drugs, simply see your +local drug dealer. + +The medical "tools of the trade" normally recommended here are either so basic +you would be hard pressed to do general first aid, or more than you will ever +need or could use, and often are more than most survivalists would know how to +use. This is not to say you shouldn't have anything your little heart desires, +but don't waste money on an item you have no idea of how to use, at least +until you have the other needed survival supplies like food and ammunition +stored. For a basic first aid/medical kit it might be wise to get one of the +better commercial first aid kits and then one of the more advanced "field +medical kits" that includes scissors, hemostats, etc. + +Do you have a good set of tools needed to rebuild you home? If not you might +consider getting a basic set of hand tools, as any power produced may be +needed for other than running your power shop tools. The "Craftsman" line of +tools from Sears is warranteed for life and many people feel they are among +the best, especially in their price range. + +While I didn't mention it in the first article, you will need a set of gun +cleaning kits. First off you should get a set of one piece stainless steel +cleaning rods in .22 and .30 caliber about 30" long and a shotgun cleaning kit +as well, such as the "universal" cleaning kits offered by many firms such as +Outers, Hoppe's, or Klean-Bore. + +After that get a good supply of bore cleaning solvent, either commercial or +military, as well as lubricating oil. One advantage of military bore solvents +is that they are designed to be used with corrosive ammunition, and are +generally much cheaper than commercial solvents. No matter what type of bore +solvent and lubricating oil you get, get plenty! Any you don't use would be +snapped up by other survivalists who either didn't get any or get enough. + + ///// + + Building a By-Phone + by Thomas Icom/IIRG + +I first saw mention of the by-phone in The Anarchist Cookbook. According to +Powell, the by-phone was a phone that was modified so as to be able to be +placed undetected on a target phone line for surveillance purposes. In other +words, a less portable version of a lineman's test (butt) set in monitor mode. + +Personally I find this device to be of limited use for serious surveillance, +but it's had other useful applications. It can be placed on a phone line and +used to monitor the background "noise" on a phone line. You can often pick up +crosstalk from the neighborhood with it (depending on the condition of your +local outside plant), and it does a good job of detecting someone playing with +your line (as in someone "beige boxing"). I used it to monitor the line on my +VMB system, and then pick up if a call was received to my box. It's also handy +for when someone places you on hold for long periods of time and you don't +want to be attached to the phone for said period. + +All that is required is an old Western Electric K500 rotary desk phone, an +SPST switch, and a Radio Shack 43-231 "portable listener". A Western Electric +K500 can be had at tag sales and flea markets for $1-$5 if you don't have one +in your basement or garage. + +Open up the K500. With the dial facing you will notice the network box towards +the right rear of the phone. Locate the "F" terminal. There should be a legend +on the network box which will tell where the terminal is located. On my phone +which has a 425B network box (dated 10-56!), the "F" terminal is on the far +left, second down. + +Attached to the "F" terminal should be two wires; one going to the ringer and +one going to the dial. Remove the wire going to the dial and install the SPST +switch between the wire and the "F" terminal. It should look something like +this: + / wire + F---O O----- to ringer + +You've now just converted your old Western Electric K500 to a by-phone. When +the switch is in the open/"off" position your phone will act like a lineman's +test set in "monitor" mode. When the switch is in the closed/"on" position it +will be just like a normal phone. + +Now take your Radio Shack portable listener, and attach the suction cup +microphone to the earpiece of the phone. Plug in the phone, take it off hook, +and make sure the switch is in the open/"off"/"monitor" position. Turn on the +RS portable listener and adjust the volume to a comfortable level. + +You should hear the background noise of an on-hook phone line and possibly +even some crosstalk from your neighbors if the lines are in bad enough shape. +When someone picks up a phone on that line you'll hear a dialtone, the dialed +digits (pulse or tone), and any conversation. When the phone line rings, the +by-phone will ring (assuming your old K500 doesn't have a party line ringer +which looks for a frequency other than the standard "B" freq. of 20 hz.), and +you'll hear the ringing signal (a 20 hz. tone) and if the line is so equipped +the Caller ID data sent between the first and second rings. + +If you want to record off the line with this setup, unplug the suction cup mic +from the amplified speaker and plug it into the mic input of a tape recorder, +preferably one with VOX. + +I'm looking through the Radio Shack Catalog and the cheapest phone I see is +$19.95. You can get one for even less from a discount department store, but +the quality leaves something to be desired. The last K500 I picked up at a tag +sale for $5. It was made in 1956, built like a tank, refurbished by Ma Bell in +1971, is still going strong today, and will probably be used by my grand +children when they get into phreaking (assuming local loops still exist by +then). For an extra $10 it becomes a piece of telecom test and TSCM equipment +that would normally cost three times as much for a device with the same +functions. + +If you're into tech you absolutely must check out your local tag sales and +flea markets (not to mention hamfests). You'd be amazed at all the neat stuff +you can buy cheap and kit bash for new and different interesting purposes. + + ///// + +"State of the Nation" +-------- +by Janet Kuypers + +my phone rang earlier today +and I picked it up and said "hello" +and a man on the other end said, +Is this Janet Kuypers? +and I said, "Yes, it is, may I ask +who is calling?" +and he said, Yeah, hi, this is +George Washington, and I'm sitting here +with Jefferson and we wanted to +tell you a few things.

Bell +- Rede For a Departed Brother + + + The Presidential Election Looms: + What are YOU going to do? + +The new year brings many thoughts to mind, but the one thing that keeps +presenting itself in my head right now is the fact that 1996 is a Presidential +election year in this country. + +I've been talking to a lot of people who have a dangerous attitude towards +voting. They have no love for either the Republicrats or the Demopublicians, +and feel that a third political party has no chance. As a result they either +don't vote or vote for "the lesser of two evils". I guess they don't realize +that both of these actions will never help us out of the mess we are currently +in. + +There is a nationwide third political party which in my opinion offers more +hope towards solving the problems in this country than either the +Demopublicians or Republicrats: The Libertarians. They are for individual +self-responsibility and reliance, and decreased government interference in the +lives of its citizens. + +I don't know how many eligible voters in this country are actually registered, +but I do know that in the 1992 Presidential election only 55% (a record high +actually) of the nation's registered voters actually voted, and that of that +number roughly 40% voted for Clinton. The current President of the United +States was voted in with less than 25% of the popular vote. If everybody who +either didn't vote in the last presidential election or voted for "the lesser +of two evils" votes Libertarian, they stand an excellent chance. So make the +extra effort.

Low order explosives are things like gunpowder, flash powder, +black powder, etc. They tend to burn rapidly or deflagrate. There power as +explosives usually comes from the bursting of the container that they are in. +High order explosives are things such as dynamite, plastic explosives, +nitroglycerin, etc. They work under a different principle called detonation. +Detonation in the most basic terms is the rapid, self-propagating +decomposition of an explosive accompanied by a high pressure-temperature +shockwave that moves at 1000-9000 meters per second. This is not generally +considered in the chemistry world as burning. Primary or initiating explosives +are the last class. Some of these are mercury fulminate, lead azide, etc. +These can be sensitive to either shock or burning or both. They generally are +more powerful than low explosives and produce a shock wave that is used to +detonate high explosives. The only class that we will be dealing with in this +series are the low order explosives. + +Pyrotechnics are an art form that has a history thousands of years old. They +are constructed for the purpose of providing exciting displays for groups of +people large and small. They existed even before anyone conceived the idea of +using black powder to hurt their enemies. Explosives on the other hand +generally are used to do some type of work. Be it in war or in peace they +generally have a tendency to destroy. If this is your purpose then this +article isn't for you. Most pyrotechnic devices are explosive in some way and +are therefore listed as explosives. Usually this is necessary for the devices +to achieve the desired effect. I will cover devices that are intended to make +pleasing displays be it on the ground or in the air. If you want to play with +the big boys go join the army. + +At this time I would like to say a little something about this outrage in +Oklahoma. McVeigh, or whoever is guilty, I hope they give you to the families +of the ones you murdered YOU PIECE OF DUNG. While I am on the subject what is +this bullshit the press is doing to the Militias. I've never seen such a load +in my life. Several slimes do something horrible and the press goes and +stereotypes a whole class of people without any investigation to see what kind +of people they really are. Well if you are reading this you obviously don't +believe anything that those jerks say anyway. What was the purpose of this +bombing anyway? Are we supposed to be impressed with this chicken shit attack? +You didn't even have the balls to be there. What are you pissed about Waco. +Hell I didn't like it either but I wouldn't kill someone because of it. Lets +just pull the plug on you and be done with it because you obviously don't have +a clue. + +Anyway it's a shame that this happened because it has side effects that some +people are not aware of. For one thing those people that find the main theme +of this article interesting and might want to try working with fireworks will +soon find it harder to get some of the things that they might need. The laws +will probably get a lot tougher on anyone that might construct anything that +someone else who is either nosy, stupid, or misinformed might think is a +danger to society. They might even see the required reading material +disappear. I don't know about you but it bothers me a hell of a lot. + +I don't want anyone to have the false impression that I am all knowledgeable +on this subject. For me it is a hobby that I happen to cherish with a very +large passion. There will be some suggestions later on some reading material +that will help. + +WARNING: THESE DEVICES CAN BE DANGEROUS POSSIBLY FATAL SO BE CAREFUL. Safety +is the key to successful and pleasing pyrotechnic displays. Therefore we are +going to discuss safety now and throughout this series of articles. + + Some of the DO's and DON'Ts + +NO SMOKING: This means while handling chemicals or when constructing, firing, +and transporting devices. + +Be gentle when handling your devices as some can be sensitive to rough +handling. You can't be too careful when involved with a hobby like this one. + +The first thing you should do before constructing any devices is to check the +laws wherever you are to find out if it is legal. There are several different +classes of explosives that have been designated by the Dept. of +Transportation. Pyrotechnic devices like the common firecracker, bottle +rockets, those little pieces of junk that just burn on the ground with merely +a whimper and party poppers are in Class C. The smaller sized paper tube +launched aerial shells that go up a couple of hundred feet then burst are also +Class C. Some states sub-divide this class into sparklers and ground devices +that shoot sparks. Some are even so lame as to have everything banned. There +is also Class B. This is where most of the big professional displays reside. +These are probably familiar to everyone who has lived through one Fourth of +July. They consist mainly of a round that is launched from a metal tube and +burst high in the air. I'm not exactly sure what the boundary is between Class +B and C. The largest aerial shells that I have seen on sale in fireworks +stands was 2 1/4" in diameter and was marked Class C. Most of the aerial +devices that we will be discussing will be higher than normal altitude Class +C. + +OK back to safety. Do not fire any devices on public property as it is +dangerous and probably not legal. The author assumes no liability for damage +or injuries caused by the use of this information. Okay enough so here is the +list of minimum safety equipment needed. + +SAFETY EQUIPMENT NEEDED WHERE TO GET IT +Face Shield Hardware Store +Breathing Mask " " +Thick Latex Gloves " " +Welding Gloves Welding Supply +Welding Arm Shields " " +Leather Shoes + +The equipment listed should be used anytime you are mixing your chemicals or +when constructing devices. I know they are cumbersome but it is better to be +safe than sorry. Especially the shoes. (Blackmatch will burn through house +slippers. I know this from personal experience.) + + Credits + +It would be wrong for me to continue without giving credit to the individuals +from whom I acquired the basic information that I am about to impart to you. +The first is the fantastic series of books by Kurt Saxon entitled The Poor +Mans James Bond. There are four books in the series covering every possible +area of self reliance. All contain numerous how-to manuals from A to Z. You +want to know, it's in there. Another one is Granddad's Wonderful Book of +Chemistry. It contains everything that you would want to know about +laboratories and chemical processes. Another series written by Mr. Saxon is +The Survivor. This series is jam packed with how-to articles that are on every +subject that you could possibly want. I would highly suggest all of these +books as they are very valuable. The best ones as far as pyrotechnics are +concerned are Granddad's, PMJB I and PMJB II. In PMJB I you will find +Fireworks & Explosives Like Granddad Used To Make which is a group of articles +including Scientific American 1903, Dick's Encyclopedia of Formulas & +Processes 1872, The Techno-Chemical Receipt Book 1896, and Henley's Twentieth +Century Formulas 1907. It also contains Pyrotechny by George Weingart (1947). +It is considered by most to be the authority on pyrotechnics. The last one is +American Pyrotechnist by VanderHorck. It contains articles by numerous authors +about constructing mechanical devices used in the manufacture of pyrotechnic +devices. In PMJB II you will find a reprint of Tenney Davis's book The +Chemistry of Powder and Explosives published in 1943. It is modern and has +done away with most of the older terms used for some of the chemicals used. +However it is a very good idea to have Granddad's around as it does explain +the older terms. I would like to express my gratitude to Kurt for the vast +effort he has put into this series. It is well rounded and will provide a +great many hours of pleasurable reading. THANKS KURT. would also like to +suggest getting a chemical dictionary or maybe borrow one and check certain +aspects of the chemicals that are used in pyrotechnics. You should especially +check the sections on hazards, properties, and usage. + +I would like also to thank Stormbringer in D.C. (BBURPP) for turning me on to +PMJB and for the inspiration. Asrael (OOPS Sorry bout them tax records Dad) +Asphyxia also for the inspiration. Hey AZ be careful with that Perchlorate. +And last but not least Thomas Icom for the opportunity to pen this series. + + Materials + +The hardest part of it all is acquiring the materials unless you have an +unlimited budget which I think most folks don't. So I am going to give you +some hints on how to construct some of the things that will be needed. + +Scales are a must if you want your compositions to be consistent. All of the +compositions used are given by weight proportions. A cheap set of proportion +scales are to be described. You will need the following: + +Wood appox. 18"x 4"x 1/2" + +Plastic/Vinyl strip 12" long and as thin as you can get it (I used a piece of +1" vinyl window blind) + +Wire appox. 4" long and fairly stiff 10-14 ga. (I used brass brazing wire) + +Bend the wire in a U shape 3/4" in from each end. Make two holes in the wood +slightly smaller than the wire. The holes should be placed so that the wire is +in the middle length-wise and perpendicular to the length and 1/4" deep. The +wire should be inserted so it is no more than 1/2" off the board. Put a slot +in the plastic so that it will balance on the wire. Add a small container +shaped like a scoop at one end of the strip by using a 2" piece of plastic +drinking straw and duct tape. On the opposite side of the strip using a small +piece of tape attach a dime about half way between the wire and the end. This +will allow you to weigh out fairly small equal amounts of the chemicals. + +The scales are used in the following manner. Place something under the scoop +to catch any chemicals that might not make it into the scoop. Place your +chemical in the scoop until it is just heavy enough to tip the scoop down all +the way. This is one proportion that weighs somewhere around half a dime. It +doesn't really matter how much as all the formulas are given as parts by +weight proportion. Any way you go about it is okay as long as you make sure +that the weights are consistent. + + Chemicals + +CAUTION: ALL OF THE CHEMICALS BEING USED ARE EITHER POISONOUS OR DANGEROUS IN +SOME WAY. PLEASE USE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN HANDLING THEM: + +The formulas that are used will only be tested possibly modified versions of +ones found in the various sources that have already been mentioned. No +formulas will be given that have not been personally tested to ensure some +measure of safety and consistency. There are several categories of chemicals +that are used. Oxidizers and reducers are the most important as far as the +actual burning of compositions. Binders tend to hold the compositions together +physically and also have the tendency to moderate the burn rates. Some also +have the tendency toward being combustible. + +Oxidizers do just what their name implies by providing oxygen to sustain the +burning. We will get into more detail on the actual terms at a later time when +we start to get into the section on constructing stars and such as that. Some +are listed here: + +Potassium Nitrate is the oxidizer that is used in Black Powder. It is used in +numerous compositions that contain a carbon based reducer. It should be +obtained from the chemical supply house. + +Potassium Perchlorate is a lot more powerful oxidizer than the nitrate as it +contains more oxygen. Like the other chemical compounds made from chloric or +perchloric acids it can be rather sensitive in certain circumstances. Such as +when mixed with finely divided metals such as aluminum or copper. It also +gives up chlorine which helps to deepen the color of your fire. It can be +obtained from the supply house. Note that it also is more sensitive to shock +when mixed with sulfur and may be set off w hen struck real hard with a +hammer. It is a strong irritant. + +If you have an excess of bravery one of the most powerful oxidizers is +Potassium Chlorate. If you decide to use it get all the PMJB books and read +them from cover to cover many times to make damn sure you know exactly what +you are doing. It has a tendency to spontaneously explode when mixed dry with +certain things such as sulfur and red phosphorus and should be wetted +thoroughly including an antiacid before handling. Thanks for that note Kurt. + +Another rather powerful but hazardous oxidizer is readily available as of this +writing is Potassium Permanganate. It is generally a purple colored granular +substance that grinds up into a reddish purple powder. Be aware that it is +very caustic and will burn skin on contact. It is very sensitive when mixed +with reducing agents and when mixed with powdered aluminum it is as powerful +and maybe even a little stronger than the flash powder described further on in +this article. + +Barium Nitrate (used for green fire) is a good oxidizer and also helps color +the flame green. It also comes from the supply house. Most Barium compounds +are poisonous so caution is important. Make sure that you wear your mask and +gloves when using this in a well ventilated area. + +Strontium Nitrate (used for red fire) colors the flame red and also provides +oxygen. If you have access to a 100-200 mesh screen it may be obtained from +common road flares. But be aware that most contain binders such as kerosene +which could possibly cause problems. It is best to buy it from the supply +house. Most Strontium compounds also tend to be hazardous in some way or +other. They are usually poisonous and should be treated with caution. They are +shock sensitive when mixed with reducing agents. + +Ammonium Perchlorate is also a powerful oxidizer that is available and is +mainly used in rocket engines. I have not used it yet but have acquired some +for testing purposes and will let you know what I find out. + +Reducers on the other hand are in the simplest terms what gets burned. I know +that some will find that too simple a description but its easy to understand. +Some are listed below. + +Charcoal can be found at the hardware store but contains a lot of trash in it +so it is recommended that you spend the bucks and buy soft charcoal sticks at +the art store. These can be ground up real easily and are my first choice. + +Powdered Aluminum can be obtained through a chemical supply house or if you're +into chemistry made at home, but I bought it. NOTE: Filed aluminum doesn't +work well unless it is very fine. Do not use sandpaper to make it small as it +will contain many particles from the paper and could taint the quality. Be +aware that most finely powdered metals can be explosive when mixed with +oxygen. Some also can be toxic in this form. + +Zinc Dust is another metal that can be used in the arts. It may be obtained +from the supply house in a couple of forms. In bits and pieces, in a powdered +form, and in a powdered form called mossy. This means that it was powdered by +pouring molten zinc into water. The form I have acquired is the regular +powder. + +Sulfur has the main job of evenly spreading fire to all parts of the +composition in which it is incorporated. It also acts as a reducer by being +combustible. It is best obtained from the supply house. + +Binders can have multiple purposes when included in some compositions. They +hold things together and sometimes act as reducers. These will be described +individually. + +Shellac is a good binder when wetted with ethyl alcohol. It also is +combustible so tends to act as a reducer. + +Stearine is a binder and a reducer at the same time. It is sold at the hobby +store for use in candles. It is sometimes used in making blue fire. + +Another binder is powdered water soluble things such as dextrin but I have as +yet been unable to find a source. IF you find one please pass it along. I am +in the process of trying a couple of ideas along this line and will let you +know what I find. + +You will also need a couple of wetting agents to suspend your binding agents +so they will be evenly distributed within the compositions. Isopropyl alcohol +(rubbing alcohol) is used in certain cases that will be mentioned later. Ethyl +alcohol to be used when shellac is being used in a composition. Denatured +Alcohol can also be used if it is the kind that has been denatured by methanol +only. It should not contain any other denaturants. Water is used when dealing +with some of the Nitrate and Perchlorate composition and will be noted at that +time. Never mix any Chlorate compositions dry as they tend to go BOOM. + +Cannon Fuse can be found at gun shops and gun shows. It may also be found at +your better hobby shops that carry model rocketry supplies. Make sure to test +the fuses burn rate. + +Other chemicals are also needed for special purposes such as Ammonium +Chloride which is used as a source of chlorine in the burning to help in +deepening the color. It is also used in making a pretty good white smoke. Be +aware that it has the tendency to draw moisture from the air. + +Mercurous Chloride (Calomel) is also a good chlorine source but be advised +that it produces poisonous fumes especially when burning and should be used +only where there is extremely good ventilation. It is used primarily in the +making of blue and green fire. It does not seem to take up moisture from the +air like Ammonium Chloride and is preferred over it. Generally when chlorates +or perchlorates are used for an oxidizer there is no need to add any extra +chlorine source. This compound in any form is very poisonous. + +Black Powder is available at most gun shops that cater to muzzle loading +enthusiasts. It comes mainly segregated by grain size. 2F is the size that I +have found to be the most useful. It can be carefully ground in small amounts +with a porcelain mortar and pestle if the need arises. + +I have touched only the tip of the iceberg here so please refer to PMJB for a +complete list of what will be needed. + + Black Match + +Black match is a type of fuse used in certain ground and aerial devices. It is +also very cheap and easy to make. You will need cotton twine and some finely +ground Black Powder(BP). You will also need some kind of frame to stretch the +fuse over to allow it to dry. Take 3 strands of the string and twist together +then tie to one side of the frame. Twist the strands then tie tightly to the +other side of the frame. Take a shallow container and put some BP in it. Add +water 1 drop at a time mixing constantly with a wooden stick. Continue adding +water until the BP is a thick paste. While wearing rubber gloves completely +saturate the string with this paste. Wipe off any excess and allow to dry +completely. This fuse burns at about 1" per second. It can be made to burn +very fast by inserting it into a paper tube about 1/4" in diameter. This is +called Quick Match and burns faster than you could possibly get away from so +be careful when using it. The Black Match is also a lot cheaper than Cannon +Fuse and is sufficient for use when testing compositions. + + Flash Powder + +Flash powder is a mixture of Potassium Perchlorate and the finest powdered +Aluminum that can be acquired. 400 mesh works real well. You would be wise to +wear a particle mask, face shield and rubber gloves for measuring your +chemicals and also welding gloves when mixing them, just in case. Also it +would be wise to do so when making devices. Measure 2 parts Perchlorate and 1 +part Aluminum. Combine them on a piece of aluminum foil and gently mix +together thoroughly with a plastic measuring spoon. Store in a plastic bottle. +** DO NOT STORE IN PLASTIC BAGS ** This composition is not real sensitive to +static like Black Powder is but has been set off by static under test +conditions so use caution when choosing your containers. This composition if +placed in a test cup made from aluminum foil that is 1" in diameter and 3/4" +deep to a depth of 1/4" and fired with enough cannon fuse to allow time for +departure flashes, makes an audible poof and makes lots of white smoke. If +loaded to a depth of about 5/8" you get one helluva boom, a big flash, and +enough smoke to be seen from a long way off. The first time that I did this it +scared the bejeezes out of me. I was not aware that any of the low order +explosives would do this in that small an amount and under those conditions. +Obviously I had failed to take into account the speed in which this stuff +burns. When tightly contained it can build up pressure fast. I urge extreme +caution when using this composition. + + First Device + +Now lets start the construction of a small firecracker that is approximately +M-80 grade maybe even a little better. Be advised that this device can remove +a hand. It is best to place it on the ground standing straight up so that the +end plugs won't bean someone on the head or something like that. + +Take a thick walled paper tube (fax paper roll or home made) about 5/8" in +diameter and 2" long. The walls of the tube should be a least 1/8" thick. Make +a wadding with toilet paper (TP) by inserting one wadded up sheet in the tube +and packing tightly against a hard surface with a cylinder that will just fit +the tube. Eject it from the tube then make another. Insert one of these into +the tube leaving 1/4" space between it and the end of the tube. Fill this +space with a quick drying two part epoxy cement and let it cure completely. +Take a sharp pointed round object and make a hole in the middle of the side of +the tube that will fit the fuse very tightly. Insert at the minimum 6 seconds +worth of fuse into the hole until it turns toward either end. If you made the +hole correctly the fuse should be rather hard to remove. If not use some +Elmer's glue around the base of the fuse to hold it in firmly. Once again let +it dry completely. Now stand the tube on end and add flash powder until 1/3 of +the containers interior is covered. (Another alternative is to fill it +completely and pack lightly using the end plug. I am still experimenting to +find the right amount so be careful when trying this.) Insert a piece of +wadded up TP in the tube and lightly pack just enough to hold the powder +together leaving room for the other wadding that you made. Now insert the +wadding and epoxy as before once again allowing to dry completely. You now +have a device that I hope you enjoy. I put one of these under a 55 gallon +plastic trash can that was inverted on concrete and it went 10' into the air. +This device throws a very hard wadding so watch out. + + Sources + +Poor Mans James Bond, Granddad's, & The Survivor available from: + +Atlan Formularies +P.O.Box 95 +Alpena, AR 72611 +(501) 437-2999 + + ///// + + Decoding Touch Tones + by Thomas Icom/IIRG + +Doing this is relatively simple for everyone except all those individuals on +Usenet who keep asking about it. This ought to set everyone straight. Decoding +DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequency: what everybody outside of Ma Bell calls Touch +Tones, as "Touch Tone" is a trademark of Western Electric, one of Ma Bell's +children.) is simply a matter of having access to a DTMF decoder. These can be +purchased in various levels of sophistication, built, or "borrowed". + +Starting with the simple first, I'll talk about "borrowing" a DTMF decoder. If +you have a pager, you can borrow one of the pager company's. Record the Touch +Tones you wish to decode, call your pager, and play the tape into the phone. +When you get paged, the numbers on your pager will be the DTMF sequence. You +can do the same with certain VMBs. When you call a VMB, enter in a bogus DTMF +sequence and see if it'll tell you "NNNN is not a valid mailbox.". If it +responds with the sequence you'd entered, you can use that to decode unknown +DTMF sequences. + +Those of you with a Soundblaster/AbLib card in their PC can try one of the +programs that turns your sound card into a DTMF decoder. There are a few such +programs floating around on BBSes and FTP sites. I experimented with a few +pieces of software and wasn't impressed; as all of the one's I tested were +prone to falsing and lacking somewhat in sensitivity. A PC also lacks +portability for real-time decoding in the field. Since they are available for +free however, you might want to try what you can find and see if it works for +what you need it for. One point which you should be aware of is that some of +the programs available require a "real" Soundblaster. If you have a clone they +won't work. + +For those of you who can solder, DTMF decoder ICs are sold for less than $10. +They can be interfaced to a PC and work well. Full DTMF decoder kits are also +available for less than the finished product. There have been hundreds of DTMF +decoder schematics published and released into electronic domain (some are on +the 'Stone) over the years. If you're going the do-it-yourself route, avoid +plans that are more than a few years old. New ICs are constantly being +developed which cost less, and are more reliable. + +Schematics which you should avoid at any cost are ones which implement the 567 +Tone Decoder IC. While it was a nice chip in it's time; by today's standards +it takes too long to get a good lock and is too prone to falsing. A DTMF +decoder implementation using this chip is also 10 times the size of more +modern designs, as a total of eight 567 chips are used to do the job that one +chip can do today. + +One that is readily available appears on page 169 of Paul Bergsman's excellent +and highly recommended book Controlling the World With Your PC. I acquired my +copy at my local Barnes & Noble, or you can get it from HighText, P.O. Box +1489, Solana Beach, CA 92075. Paul's book is the bible for real-world +interfacing for the PC. + +Another set of recently published DTMF decoder plans can be found in the +September 1995 Issue of Nuts & Volts magazine. These plans use a California +Micro Devices CM8880 IC and a BASIC Stamp. A kit based on this project is +available for $22 (not including the BASIC Stamp and LCD Serial Backpack used +for the display) from: + +Scott Edwards Electronics +964 Cactus Lane +Sierra Vista, AZ 85635 +520-459-4802 +FAX 520-459-0623 +72037,2612@compuserve.com + +Finally, one can go and buy a completed DTMF decoder. The assembled units +start at less than $60, and used equipment can be had for even less at +Hamfests. Starting at the bargain basement we have: + +Motron Electronics +310 Garfield St., Suite 4 +P.O. Box 2748 +Eugene, OR 97402 +800-338-9058, 503-687-2118 +motron.info@emerald.com + +Their TDD-8X DTMF decoder is $59. It features an 8 digit display, 104 +character memory, and serial port for connection to a PC. For DNR work in +those backwoods areas that have yet to receive DTMF service, Motron has the +TM-16A which will also decode rotary dialing for $179. With the RS-232 port +option the price of that unit goes up to $249. For those of you who have +remote control applications in mind, for $99 Motron sells their AK-16 DTMF +Controller Board. It features 16 relay driver outputs, up to 12 digit security +code capability, ASCII serial output of incoming DTMF tones, and DTMF user- +programmability. + +For those looking for a nice looking "Rolls Royce" type unit in order to +impress their next TSCM client, you have two choices: + +Optoelectronics +5821 NE 14th Avenue +Ft.

This unit decodes +DTMF; as well as POCSAG, GOLAY (pager modes), CTCSS (PL), DCS (DPL) (tone +codes which are used to access radio repeaters and prevent interference), and +whole bunch of other digital communications modes used on the shortwave and +ham bands. + +Optoelectronics also sells a similar unit, their DC400. This unit is only +$259, and only decodes DTMF, CTCSS, and DCS. It has a 127 character memory and +interface to a PC when mated with a CI-V to RS-232 converter. If you don't +need all the extras the Universal unit has and want something that'll +interface with a PC, go with the Opto' unit. + + ///// + + Urban Survival, Part II + by Douglas P. Bell + +Now that we have housing, guns, hygiene, and other good stuff out of the way, +what next? Well how about food production/procuring! OK so we talked about a +garden that didn't look like a garden, and wasn't in "normal" garden plants, +but just what plants are these? What would be a good book on the subject? + +One of the best books for this is "The Edible Ornamental Garden" by John E. +Bryan and Coralie Castle (101 Productions, 1974, 192 pages, 8 1/2" x 8 1/4"). +The nice thing about this book is it covers the usual garden plants as well as +the less usual ones. + +The chapters in the book include general culture of plants, cooking with +flowers, leaves and herbs, plants, their culture, history and recipes, and +mail order nurseries. + +This book is a must have for the urban home owner who has a small plot of land +and wants a garden that most people wouldn't bother because they wouldn't even +know it was there. The book will also provide you with food ideas that you may +have been missing out on right under your own nose, right in your own yard or +flower garden. + +Well, so much for your outdoor garden, what about an indoor garden? That's +right, set up a small "flower box" garden in a window sill or even a terrarium +garden. For the terrarium, you might try to find "Gardening With Terrariums", +although this booklet has almost nothing on food growing indoors as it is +actually a book about ornamental plants. + +if a window box of terrarium garden isn't big enough for you, there are other +ways of doing this, such as setting up a greenhouse. Books on greenhouses run +from how to build your own "window box" greenhouse to commercial production +set-ups. Go down to your library or used book store and look over the books +they have. There should be something that will be of interest if you are +serious about plant production and propagation. + +Well, if gardening isn't your cup of tea, and you can't put in a greenhouse or +"indoor garden", but still want plant food in your diet, what is left? +Sprouting! + +Sprouting is very easy to learn and requires almost no room or equipment to +do, and so is perfect for the urban survivor. Sprouting not only increases the +amount of food over just eating the grains or seeds you might have stored +(such as mung, pinto, or wheat), but provides much more nutrition as well. A +booklet on the subject you might like to find is "Seeds and Sprouts For Life" +by B. Jensen. + +Now that you have all that garden produce, what are you going to do with it +all? Yet another booklet for the continually short of space urban survivor is +"Rodale's Gardening Harvest Book" which covers freezing, canning, jams, +jellies and drying. well so much for plants, what else is there? What about +meat? Well how about traps! + +In one "survival" magazine there are ads for leg hold traps, "you may not want +the fur, but you will want to eat" or something like that is how the ad runs. +Well OK, leg hold traps are a good way to get food and furs, but I don't +recommend them for the urban survivor. + +The reason is simple, if my best rat catcher or favorite hunting hound comes +back with a messed-up leg or worse yet, doesn't come home at all, I'll know +there is someone else out there and start looking for them and their traps! + +Another reason I don't like leg hold traps for the urban survivor, especially +now with the current anti-gun/anti-trapping scum about, is if you don't check +your traps every day (any decent trapper checks his traps AT LEAST once a +day!), someone else might find your traps with an animal caught in it and turn +you in to the local power structure which will be more than happy to harass an +honest survivalist rather than fight crimes such as murder, rape, etc.! After +all they might get hurt doing that! + +Now I'm not against trapping mind you, it's just that you have to be a little +tricky about it. If you live in an area with a lot of raccoons (and who +doesn't?), you might try the "egg-trap", so called because the commercial +version is egg shaped. This is a very safe and very good trap. It doesn't grab +the leg like the leg hold traps and it is safe around dogs, cats and children. + +The way this works is, you take off the back of the egg trap, put the bait in, +and close it up. The trap is then put in an area where raccoons are likely to +see it. The raccoon can see and smell the food, but can't get at it. So the +raccoon reaches in, grabs the bait and pulls. Now the trap is so designed that +the leg is held as long as the bait is pulled. Let go of the bait and the leg +is released. In almost all cases the raccoon will hold on to the bait and you +have him trapped! + +Another good way to trap animals without hurting them (and getting the +neighbors pissed at you) is to use a box trap. A box trap is just what it +sounds like, a trap in the form of a box. Normally the animal walks into the +trap to get some sort of bait and trips a level closing the trap door; +trapping the animal with no harm. These traps are available commercially and +can be easily built out of wire mesh and scrap lumber to fit just about any +size or area you want to put one. + +These traps can be built to trap birds, squirrels, and most any animal to +about a small to medium sized dog or good sized coon. After that, the size and +strength needed limit the practical usefulness of the trap as far as most +urban survivalists are concerned, as it would be hard to explain away a German +Shepherd sized trap in the back yard; while a "raccoon" or "groundhog" trap +will not raise too many questions. I know one person who built one of these +traps for squirrels and normally catches about ten to twelve a week! About the +only problem they have encountered is the trap needs rebuilding/repairing +every week or so, as the squirrels really tear the hell out of trap! + +The next set of traps are the so-called "kill traps", as they kill their prey +by breaking the animal's neck or back when the trap is tripped. Needless to +say, you don't want to use this trap where children or pets can get at it, as +most people would get a little upset by this! As these traps are normally in +the mink/martin size, they are not good "meat" traps, although for protecting +your food supply from rats and mice they would work fairly well. + +For more information about traps and trapping, you should get "Survival +Poaching" by Ragnar Benson (Paladin Press), "Animal Traps and Trapping" by +Bateman (Stackpole Books), and go to your local magazine rack and and get a +subscription to "Fur/Fish/Game - A Harding Magazine" (Fur-Fish-Game, 2878 E. +Main St., Columbis, OH 43209), $12/year, $21/two years), as well as buying all +the Harding Press books. + + + ///// + + Rede For a Departed Brother; + Paul D.

We all +know about the ridiculous steps the cellular industry has taken to try to +prevent their use. But really, there's no need to go to that much trouble. You +can do cellular monitoring pretty well with an ordinary and entirely legal TV +set! Of course, it's still a federal offense to monitor cellular, so this +information is only for your entertainment and is not to be used in any +illegal way, duh. + +What you need first of all is anything that has a UHF TV tuner built into it. +This includes VCRs as well as TV sets. See, TV channels 14 to 83 are the UHF +TV band. Think about this: all of these channels could have been used by over +the air TV stations! Actually, the top 12 or so channels in the UHF TV band +aren't available for tv anymore as far as I know. The frequencies have been +reassigned to Land Mobile use, or cellular telephones. + +On old TV sets there is a second knob for UHF. You put yer VHF knob on "U" and +tweak your UHF knob up to the very end of the band. If you have a VCR or some +other sort of tuner, just make sure that you're on "TV" and not "CATV", +because the channel allocations are different. Once you get up to channel 14, +broadcast (UHF) channels and cable channels are NOT the same. If you can see +that you are tuning above channel 83, then you are on cable and you're not +going to pick up anything. + +Look around on channels 80 through 83. When you don't hear people talking, you +will hear an obnoxious buzzing sound. I think this is the tower holding the +channel, but I'm not sure. In any case, conversations will come and go as they +are handed off to another tower. If you use common sense about when and where +more people are using their cellular phones, you should be able to determine +the best times for listening. + +If you really, really have no luck pulling anything in, your tuner may be a +newer one which simply won't do it. Many new TV tuners have been manufactured +so as to not pick up this cellular "interference". Rumor has it that a +restoration is possible. + +Anyway, if your TV is a new one, use an old junky one instead. In fact, the +best TVs for monitoring purposes are old, cheap, black-and-white models which +aren't good for much else. The picture tube could be entirely broken and the +set could still be useful! (In fact, you might want to turn the brightness +down on the screen while monitoring.) In order to fish around for phone calls, +it's really best if you can fine tune. Even better, many old TV sets have a +UHF knob that does not click at all. + +The next thing you need is an ANTENNA. (Novel idea, huh? An antenna to pick up +radio signals? But seriously, some of this may be obvious to a hacker, but I +am trying to cover all the bases here.) + +Take a look at the back of your TV set, and you'll probably find two posts +marked UHF (to go along with the doohickey that says VHF). You'll want to plug +your cell-capable antenna into UHF. The easiest thing to do at this point is +go get a UHF tv loop. They cost about a dollar, many supermarkets have them, +and they will work quite well. The BEST thing to do is ...get a 800mHz +cellular antenna! These are also getting pretty darn cheap, and they are +tuned to just the frequencies you are interested in. I think it's okay to just +run a wire from the 800 MHz antenna to one of the UHF posts. I'm sure there +are many other 819 to 890 MHz antenna setups you can think of if you are +creative. + +You can even use a second TV set (or other tuner) to create an "RF well" and +hear even more. Put the second TV set right next to the first. With the first +TV, tune something in. Then with the second TV, fish around channels 72-76. +Apparently you are tuning in the base frequency to go with the mobile, or +something like that. I think you will find that many of the signals you have +already been picking up will become more coherent. Single coverstions will +emerge from what was previously a mess. Anyhow, just experiment and you'll get +the idea. + +I can certainly envision a cellular monitoring device consisting of a couple +of stripped down TV tuners built into a box. In fact I wonder if someone +hasn't done this. Of course, this would just be a way to make it all look +pretty and it isn't necessary at all. Well, cellular providers these days are +going digital and taking other steps to provide something resembling security. +So the time may come when all of this info is obsolete, if you believe some +people. But I myself think there will always be cell companies who are too +cheap or lazy to protect their signal. + + ///// + + Programming the Motorola Radius SP10 + by R.F. Burns + +The SP10 is a 1 watt handheld radio transceiver designed to operate on one of +16 different frequencies assigned to low power/itinerant communications in the +VHF-hi business band (150.775-174 Mhz.). While this is one of Motorola's "low +end" radios, the quality is still up to Motorola's excellent standards. The +SP10 is commonly available; even being sold by Radio Shack, and a preliminary +inspection indicates that the unit should offer many opportunities to the RF +hacker. A full review of the SP10 appears in the February 1996 issue of +Popular Communications magazine. + +To program the radio, remove the battery compartment cover, battery, and +plastic cover underneath the battery. On the bottom right hand side of the +radio you will see four dip switches. The position of the dip switches is what +determines the operating frequency. Use the table below to determine what dip +switch settings pertain to what frequency; where 0=ON and 1=OFF. + +Frequency Switches Frequency Switches +--------- -------- --------- -------- +151.625 0011 151.655 1000 +151.685 0101 151.715 1010 +151.775 1001 151.805 0110 +151.835 0010 151.895 1101 +151.925 0001 151.955 1100 +154.490 1011 154.515 0111 +154.540 1110 154.570 1111 +154.600 0000 158.400 0100 + +If someone wanted an "on the fly" programmable radio, they could bring a four +bit dip switch up to the case of the radio, and be able to switch between the +16 different frequencies without having to dismantle the radio every time they +wanted to change frequencies. There's plenty of space inside the radio for an +aspiring RF hacker to do a little experimentation, and Motorola's gear has a +reputation of being very workable, hacker-wise. + + ///// + + Hackers Versus Politicians + by J. Orlin Grabbe + +The December 1995 Media Bypass magazine article, "The Still Before the Storm," +by James Norman, details how a group of "Fifth Column" hackers have initiated +a campaign to clean up political corruption, resulting so far in the announced +retirement of over thirty politicians (who have received packages of +information detailing their financial shenanigans). Norman calls this group +"CIA computer hackers", though in fact the group is * totally outside +government.* (One member is ex-NSA, an agency that member now despises, and +another member is ex-CIA.) But, anyway, as Norman notes: + +". . . the Fifth Column has managed to penetrate Swiss and other foreign +banks to quietly withdraw what is now an astounding $2.5 billion in illicit +money from coded accounts they have identified as belonging to government +figures. + +"Starting in 1991, this five-man Fifth Column team has been using its own Cray +supercomputer to break into foreign bank computers, download vast libraries of +data and trace this money to a wide range of illegal activities, from +kickbacks on drug and arms deals to insider trading profits, software piracy +and the sale of state secrets. Oh yes, don't forget tax evasion." + +What I like about the Fifth Column campaign is that it simply asks politicians +to live by their own rules. If they want to launder money themselves, then +they should get rid of the money-laundering statutes and let the rest of us +have the same privileges. If they don't want to pay taxes, then let them +get rid of the tax laws. If they want to continue the insane "war on drugs," +then they shouldn't be taking payoffs from drug lords. (It is amazing how +non-authoritarian people become if forced to practice what they preach.) + +This article is an introduction to the political possibilities of hacking. It +will present a brief how-to for the enterprising hacker to (legally) prepare +his or her own background report on any given politician (sorry, Senator Exon +has already received an envelope). Let's face it: journalists are too +technically incompetent to do the job. + +Politicians are those annoying people who--drink in hand--can stare at a +uuencoded file for hours, fall into a sexual reverie involving ASCII entities, +and then weave their way to the nearest TV camera to pontificate about +pornography on the Internet. + +But, you ask, if they are so dumb, why are they so rich? Sometimes the latter +*is* a mystery, reminiscent of the miracle of the loaves and the fishes. + +Take the case of a man who can hardly pay his bills, but who gets elected to +national political office and goes off to Washington for a few years. Then-- +lo and behold!--on his simple politician's salary, he suddenly manages to +maintain two fine homes, one inside the beltway in Chevy Chase and another +in his home town community of Rat's Ass, to purchase new cars for his wife and +himself, to accumulate lakefront property in a neighboring county, and to +stash away a nice sum of cash in a foreign bank account. + +If the "simple politician's salary" bit sounds improbable, it probably is. +Let's face it: many politicians are on the take. They may have hidden +sources of income involving illegal payoffs from corporations, lobbying +groups, or individuals. Are you a student? Then you will be proud to know +that educational commissions and associations are also a hot new conduit for +political bribes. + +This article suggests a few basic procedures for finding out whether that +special politician you have in mind is getting more on the side than ASCII +sex. Honest politicians, of course, will have nothing to fear from any of the +following. + +Is what I am about to do legal? you ask. Of course it is. To reassure +yourself, pull out your world-wide web browser and take a peak at one of the +many data service companies, say Insights, Inc. (located at +). They promise, using only an +individual or business name and/or address, to provide sufficient information +for: + +*Preparing Due Diligence Reports +*Locating People or Businesses +*Exposing and Controlling Fraud +*Uncovering & Verifying Background Information +*Identifying and Verifying Assets + +How do they get away with this? Simple. They legally search public records. +Much of this public-record information is computerized, although some of it is +not. In any event, I do not advocate illegal or questionable access methods, +or the breaking of any laws. Checking up on the (possibly criminal) +politician of your choice doesn't have to be a crime. + +Still not convinced? Hop over to Infonet +, +which for a fee will mine public records for nuggets like: + +*Felony and Misdemeanor Criminal Filings--"Search any court in the nation for +a seven year history of criminal filings and possible convictions." (Many +politicians wait until they reach office to work on this part of their resume, +but some are early starters.) + +*Driving Histories--"Search a three to seven year history of an individuals +driving performance, including tickets and accidents." (So you don't really +care if your politician speeds a little now and then. But, on the other hand, +did that official who helped him get out of a DWI expect a quid pro quo?) + +*Upper and Lower Court Civil Filings--"Obtain a civil litigation history of +any individual in any court in the United States." (Is there some hidden +reason this guy is getting sued all the time?) + +*Social Security Number Tracking--"Access all three credit bureaus to verify +the user of a social security number and the addresses being used." (Having +your politician's social security number is the next best thing to having his +Swiss bank account number.) + +*Professional Licensing--"Verify the existence and status of an entity's +license in a specific practice area, such as private investigation, medicine, +real estate and more." (Was your politician really a world-renowned physicist +before returning home to run for mayor of Rat's Ass?) + +*Consumer and Business Credit Reports--"Review account balances, credit terms +and payment histories for an individual or business." ("So, before he went to +Washington, he couldn't pay his bills . . .") + +Well, if they can do it, so can you. + +So where do you start? Well, first see what the politician him/herself has to +say about the money flows. Federal law (5 USC app. 6, section 101 et seq.) +requires members of Congress to file *Financial Disclosure Statements* yearly. +The Financial Disclosure form has nine parts: + + Schedule I: Earned Income + Schedule II: Payments in Lieu of Honoraria Made to + Charity + Schedule III: Assets and "Unearned Income" + Schedule IV: Transactions. + Schedule V: Liabilities + Schedule VI: Gifts + Schedule VII: Fact-Finding, Substantial Participation, + and Other Travel + Schedule VIII: Positions + Schedule IX: Agreements + +Want to see Newt Gingrich's personal finances for the year 1993? Direct your +web browser to . + +Many state, county, and city elections have similar requirements, either on a +personal or a campaign basis. Want to see a copy of the *Candidate Campaign +Statement-Long Form-Form 490* for Joel Ventresca, candidate for Mayor of +San Francisco? Visit Campaign Net at . + +These statements represent what a politician says he or she has or gets. But +the really interesting items--like those kickbacks from the Cali cartel--not +surprisingly go unreported. To get the good stuff, you will need your full +hacker armor. + +The first thing to get is your politician's *social security number (SSN)*. +It's not difficult. Your politician loves to be photographed doing his/her +civic duty of voting. Which means he or she fills out a *voter's +registration card* (public information) which will contain said politician's +name, address, date of birth, party affiliation, and--usually--social security +number. Voter files may be obtained at your politician's local county court +house, as well as on many on-line data bases. A person's SSN is the common +key that links together many commercial and government data bases. + +Can't find the SSN number on the voter's registration card? Then try *DMV* +records. The insurance lobby has made sure that driver's records are easy to +get, along with the details of any accidents, and critical driver information +such as height, color of eyes, address--and social security number, if the +latter was required information on the form. (California won't give out +addresses, if a request has been filed not to do so--the "movie star" +exemption.) In about 20 states the individual's social security number is the +driver's license number. + +Still searching? Then go with the triple whammy of the major credit bureaus-- +TRW, TransUnion, and CBI/Equifax. The Fair Credit Reporting Act essentially +implies you must be contemplating a business relationship--such as selling a +car, renting an apartment, giving a loan, or attempting to collect on a +judgment--with a party to request his credit report. But the *header* +information in the file--such as social security number, date of birth, +address, and spouse's name--is legally available to anyone, and your inquiry +(unlike an actual credit report) will leave no footprints. The addresses and +phone numbers are: + +TRW +660 N. Central Expressway, Exit 28 +Allen, TX 75002 +Automated phone: 800-392-1122 +Phone: 800-422-4879 + +CBI/Equifax +5505 Peachtree Dunwoody, #600 +Atlanta, GA 30374-0241. +Automated phone: 800-685-1111 +Phone: 800-685-5000 + +Trans Union +P.O.Box 7000 +North Olmsted OH 44070-7000 +Automated phone: 800-851-2674 +Phone: (714) 738-3800, ext. 6450 + +Are you a hacker-journalist? Then take a peak at the National Institute for +Computer-Assisted Reporting (NICAR; located at ). +Their bylaws prohibit them from selling data to nonjournalists (not that you +want to *buy* data anyway--we're just exploring *possibilities*). But +data is "sold at or below costs to journalism organizations or individuals for +legitimate journalism uses only." (Doing your civic duty to keep tabs on your +politician is, naturally, a legitimate journalistic use of the data.) Their +data bases include these publicly-available information sets, among others: + +Organization: Government Services Agency +Databases: Federal Procurement Contracts for 1992-1994. + +Organization: Federal Election Commission +Databases: Campaign Contributions for the 1991-1994 + election cycle. + +Organization: Federal Reserve Board +Databases: home mortgage loans covered by Home Mortgage + Disclosure Act (for 1992-1994) + +Organization: Federal Aviation Administration +Databases: Service Difficulty Reports, Airman Directory, + Aircraft Registry + +Organization: Federal Bureau of Investigation +Databases: Uniform Crime Reports + +Organization: Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms +Databases: Gun Dealer Licenses + +The existence of such data immediately brings to mind a barrage of possibly +relevant questions: + +Is there an incestuous relationship between the donors to your politician's +campaign and subsequent federal government contracts? (It always starts +somewhere . . .) To find out, compare federal procurement data with campaign +contributions. Campaign contribution data from the Federal Election +Commission are supposed to include all contributions by individuals and +political action groups (PACs) to a politician's federal election campaign. +The Government Services Agency, meanwhile, keeps Individual Contract Action +Reports (ICARs), which has information about the federal agency granting a +government contract, the identity of the contractor, and the contract dollar +amount. + +Has your politician recently purchased a new home? What is its value? What was +the down payment? Is he or she living suspiciously beyond his or her means? +What is your politician's race or gender (DNA sequence?)? To start to answer +these questions, look at home mortgage data. The Federal Reserve Board +started keeping data like this in order to check on "fair" lending practices. +So the Fed began tracking home and home-improvement loans, as well as bank- +purchased loans. (And just to help the enterprising hacker, when your +politician is buying, or possibly refinancing, a house, most banks will now +ask for his Social Security Number on the Deed of Trust, especially as the +Federal National Mortgage Association now requires it.) + +Does your politician own an aircraft? What's its value? Did he purchase it +with cash? Check the FAA's aircraft records. + +Does your politician own a gun even while advocating gun control? If he +bought the gun from a dealer, ATF records can help out here. + +And so on. + +Now let's get to the nitty-gritty: *city, county, and state records*. The +*City Clerk* in your politician's home town will have a list of business +licenses (name, address, date) and building permits (name, address, cost of +construction). The *County Clerk* or *County Recorder* should have liens on +file (lien holder, payment agreements), a Probate Index (estate settlements), +records of lawsuits and judgments, powers of attorney with respect to real +estate, records of mortgages on personal property, and bankruptcy papers. Here +you can find out not only the value of your politician's property, but also +the names, addresses, and property values of everyone who lives on his street. +*City and County Courts* will also maintain a Civil Index (civil actions, +plaintiffs and defendants, as well as civil files: description of any disputed +property or valuables), a Criminal Index (criminal cases in Superior Court, +as well as criminal files), and voter's registration files. + +The *county tax collector* will have a description of any property owned, as +well as taxes paid on real estate and personal property. The *county +assessor* may also have maps and photos, or even blueprints showing the +location of your politician's hot tub. The *Secretary of State* will have +corporation files and possibly annual reports of your politician's company. + +Okay, let's go over it again, taking it slow. With your politician's social +security number in hand, you can get header information from the major credit +bureaus. This will give you a seven to ten year history of addresses, as +well any spousal name or names. The latter is very important, since your +average politician's instinct will be to keep questionable sums of money +and suspect personal assets in the name of his or her spouse, sibling, +business associate, or girlfriend. + +Next you go to the state Department of Motor Vehicles, to find out your +politician's tastes in cars, trucks, motorcyles, boats, trailers, and +recreational vehicles. Of course if your politician leases any of the above, +he or she will not show up as the vehicle owner. So the next thing to do is +to run the license plate number of that Caddy parked out front, since this +will give you the name of both lessee and lessor. + +Next you talk to someone who does business with your politician, and who thus +has a permissible reason under the Fair Credit Reporting Act to run a credit +check. This will give you a listing of all your politician's credit accounts, +current balances, payment history, and payment terms. Any bankruptcies in the +last ten years, or liens or judgments in the last seven years, will be listed. +Did your politician suddenly receive a huge campaign contribution from some +source, soon after your politician found himself stuck with a quarter million +dollar judgment against him? If so, he won't be the first person who has sold +out his country to pay off a personal financial debt. + +What property does your politician own? The offices of County Recorder and +County Tax Assessor will give you the land value, improvement value, and total +assesssed values for any property. They will frequently have also the amounts +received for any sales, the sale dates, as well as information on the +mortgage-holder or other lender. Did your politician get a large loan from +Washoe International State Bank just about the time Washoe International State +Bank was having trouble with state banking regulators, who are overseen by a +legislative committee on which your politician sits? + +Does your politician own a business of any consequential size? Then run a +business credit check. Who are (were) your politician's business associates? +Who are the company officers and principals? Or--if as is commonly the +case--your plitician is a lawyer, who are the law partners? Look also for +bankruptcies, tax liens, public records filings, judgments, and UCC (Uniform +Commercial Code) financing statements. These documents may turn out to be +filled with all sorts of unexpected names, dates, and activities. + +On what honorary commissions does your politician serve? Do the commission's +audited financial statements show any payments for services not rendered? +This was apparently what New York Attorney General Dennis Vacco was +wondering, when he noted, on January 9, 1996, in a letter to the National +Center on Education and the Economy: "Statement 11 on your 1990 Federal 990 +and Note 5 on your 1990 audited financial statements indicate that the Center +had retained the services of Hillary Rodham Clinton, a member of the Rose Law +firm, to direct your Workforce Skills Program while she also served as a +member of the Center's Board of Trustees.

The +1990 filing also refers to a second contract, which was reported to be in the +amount of $150,000 covering the period February 1, 1991 through January 31, +1992, and a similar statement appears on Statement 11 attached to the 1991 +Federal 990." + +Moreover, did either Hillary Clinton or the Rose Law firm pay taxes on the +sums received? (A little birdie tells me neither one did.) + +The office of the Secretary of State in any of the 50 states can be a source +of UCC searches.

That doesn't mean he listens to a word of +political advice Stephens gives him. No way.) + +Superior Courts, Federal Bankruptcy Courts, Small Claims Courts, and city, +county, and state tax authorities keep records of tax liens, court judgments, +and bankruptcy filings. These reveal not only outstanding financial +obligations, but also personal and company affiliations, partners, +subsidiaries, and dependents.

That someone pick's up the +phone, dials, and... + + "Hey Billy, how's the Missus?....Great glad to hear it. And How's + Chelsea?...Oh really, thats fabulous. And how's Roger doin'?...Great, glad + to hear it. I was just calling to see how you all were doin. Is Al or + Tipper around?" + +The phone call's over and you're sayin to yourself "man, I wish I had that +number." Well you could ask your friend point blank for it, but we both know +that as two-faced and shallow as your so-called friendship with this guy is, +theirs NO WAY he'd give you the number to information let alone to the White +House. But that's alright, cuz you're pretty good at... + + CAPTURING REDIAL + +The principle behind Redial Capturing is simple. You basically capture the +last number that was dialed from a TouchTone(c) phone and keep it for later +use. So now the question is, how do you do the capture. Well there's a number +of way you can do it, but after some consideration, I think I've come up with +a method thats both fairly inexpensive, VERY effective, and quite practical. +Heres what you need: + + * Radio Shack Pocket Dialer w/Memory + Catalog Number: 43-146 + Price: $24.99 + + * Any Brand Pager. + +Alrght, here it is, plain, simple, and effective: + + 1. Take your Radio Shack Dialer and program it with the number to your + pager. + + 2. Keep your dialer with you at all times. (Every good phreak should have + one anyway.) + + 3. When you need to make a Capture, wait for the person who has made the + call to get off the phone (obviously.) + + 4. Pick-up the same phone the person has made the call from. + + 5. Hold the Pocket Dialer up to the Mouth Piece of the phone, and press the + Memory button (assuming you did like I said and programmed the Dialer + with your pager number. If not dial you're a bonehead and you have to + dial your Pager number manually with the Pocket Dialer.) + + 6. Once your Pager answers and requests you to "[E]nter the number you are + dialing from at the tone," hit REDIAL on the phone. Once the phone has + redialed, hang-up. + + 7. Beep-beep. Check your pager. You have just captured the last number + dialed from that phone. + +Like I said, plain, simple, and cool enough to be in a James Cameron flick. + + WHAT DUMBASS?!? + +By the way, I've already been asked the Ingenious question: "how come you need +a Pocket Dialer to do this? Why can't you just call your Pager and then hit +Redial on the phone and Capture the Redial that way?" Well you can, but the +only Number you'll be capturing is your own pager number you just dialed. +(Duh!) If you wan't to Capture the redial you have to find away to dial a +source which will decode the DTMF tones, and you have to be able to preserve +the tones in the first place. The closest alternative to the method described +in this file, is to call your Pager on one phone in the house, and once your +page answers, pick-up the phone you want to Capture from and hit Redial. +This'll work fine, but you might have a little trouble remaining inconspicuous +about the whole thing--running back and forth and all. + + OUTRO + +Anyway, that's it.

Back in the days of (the old YIPL originated) TAP magazine, +Fred Steinbeck wrote "The Ten Commandments of Phone Phreaking"; the first of +which was (paraphrased) "Do nothing over any phone traceable to you." This +should be common sense to anyone who hasn't just crawled out from under a +rock. Yet, we see so many dumb shits out there who continue to hack over their +home phone lines. If you are one of these people, you are an idiot and +probably deserve to get caught. While we call BBSes and occasionally get a +conference call into our lines from some LLs out on the Left Coast, We pay our +hefty phone bills on time every month and do nothing illegal on the line. +They can DNR it all year long. All they'll find out is that Josh only calls +his parents once a week and that we order a lot of Chinese take-out. + +The idea is to hack on the highway (the pavement kind for those of you who've +read too much Wired). This isn't as difficult as you might think, and doesn't +require you to spend $2000 on a new laptop. Yes, you're going to have to spend +some money, but not that much. If you don't have a job we suggest you get off +your ass and find something to bring in some cash. Besides, the authorities +tend to look at you in a slightly better light if it looks like you're a +responsible member of society, especially if you're a "good responsible kid +who works after school." This we know from experience. + +The main items that are required are a laptop or similar portable system and a +modem. A brand-new state-of-the-art laptop can cost upwards of $2000 depending +on what you buy, but you don't need state-of-the-art for porta-hacking. All +you really need is something that you can hook a modem to, run terminal +software, and do a little data storage. One can find older laptops for under +$100 in the classified ad sections of newspapers and in the Pennysaver, +Bargain News, or whatever the ad paper is called in your locale. Hamfests and +computer shows are also a good source. One of us saw an 8088 laptop at one for +$15. Just make sure the unit either has an internal modem (even a 1200 will +do for most hacking purposes) or has an RS-232 or PCMCIA port to add an +external modem. If you're going the external RS-232 modem route, the modem +will need to able to run off batteries. Make sure that the power supply that +goes with the modem is a DC output supply. Many modems use AC output +supplies, and the modem will be much more difficult to convert to battery +operation. For a while there were these "pocket modems" being sold which were +the size of a pack of cigarettes and ran off a 9 volt battery. We haven't seen +them offered lately, but they still should be available on the used and +surplus equipment market. + +For complete connectivity, acquire an acoustic coupler for your modem. This +device attaches to the handset of any phone and plugs into your modem's RJ-11 +jack. It is essential for modeming from payphones; where in most instances you +don't have access to a terminal block or phone jack. Two devices of interest +are available from Konexx/Unlimited Systems Corp. (http://www.konexx.com/ for +product information). The first is the Model 204 "Konexx Koupler" ($140). It +plugs into the RJ-11 jack of a modem and provides acoustic coupling between +the modem and a telephone handset. According to company literature it +operates up to 14.4K baud on electronic phones, and up to 2400 baud on +payphones and other phones that use a carbon microphone. The second is the +Model 305 "Modem Koupler" ($300). This is a 2400 baud acoustically coupled RS- +232 modem. Both units are powered off a 9V battery. Our personal preference is +towards the Model 204. It is less expensive overall when bought with a modem +(14.4K PCMCIA modems are down to $130 new. RS-232 modems are even less.), +enables one to communicate at higher speeds than does the Model 305, and +offers greater overall versatility. + +There are also a few other things that you should also throw into your porta- +hack kit: + +- Can wrench or 7/16" nutdriver - The tool that is needed to open up bridging + heads, pedestals, demarc points, and other places where you can hook in to + receive a dialtone + +- RJ-11 to alligator clip adaptor - a/k/a "Beige Box". Go the deluxe route and + make one with piercer clips (what lineman test sets are equipped with) so + you can also hook into a single pair drop wire if needed. + +- Phone cords - You will probably run into many instances where you will be + able to use one; so keep 'em handy. We keep a 12 foot modular line cord in + our kits for when a conventional hook-up presents itself. Those retractable + 50 foot units is very handy for running a line from a phone can to a nearby + place of concealment, and takes up little space. + +- Leatherman Tool, Gerber Multi-Plier, et. al. - The standard hacker tool. + Don't leave home without it. + +- Lineman test set or one piece phone with "beige box" adaptor + +- Wireless phone jack system - This system appears to have great potential. It + costs about $100 and consists of a base unit and an extension unit. The base + unit is plugged into any AC outlet near an existing phone line and connected + to the line. The extension unit is plugged into any other outlet and gives + you a phone line without the need to run cable. As long as both outlets are + on the same transformer feed from the electric company, you should be able + to hook this system up to a phone line and AC outlet in a utility room, and + then go to another room with an AC outlet and have a phone connection. This + could even be extended from one building to another provided both buildings + were on the same transformer feed. With the electric company bridging + transformers for remote meter reading, the range could be longer. + +- Prepaid Calling Cards - Currently the safest and best way to make modem + calls from a payphone. Since the calls are paid for, there's no toll fraud + flag that can come up to trip you later. Most prepaid calling card services + don't forward CID information as well; although you will still have to + contend with the service's WATS line getting your ANI data if you call it + direct. + +- Proper attire and demeanor - In many places and instances it's a big help to + look and act like you belong there. One should also have a plausible story + set straight in advance in case they are questioned. + + Some Notes on Payphone Usage + +The problems with payphones (whether Bell or COCOT) are that they are +difficult to hook a modem up to and interrupt the connection every few minutes +in order to tell you that you have to put more money in. The solution is to +use your acoustic coupler and a calling card of some sort. + +COCOTs usually have a modular jack at the demarc point (standard telco +arrangement since the COCOT's wiring is the responsibility of the customer, +just like with a residential line), and since they require external power +there is usually an AC outlet somewhere nearby as well. DTP a sticker that +says "Property of Dingleberry Telecom" (or whatever the name of the COCOT +company is) put it on the base unit of a wireless phone jack system, and hook +up the base unit to the COCOT's phone line and AC outlet. Find a nice secure +place somewhere nearby which has a handy AC outlet off of the same transformer +feed. Plug in the extension unit and have fun. Anybody who might notice the +little adjunct you've added to the COCOT line will see the official-looking +sticker on it and think it was something the company installed. + + Things To NOT Do + (Taken from actual stories we've heard over the years.) + +* Don't drive up to a phone can, park next to it, and run a phone cable into + your car to porta-hack. + +* Don't porta-hack from a hotel room after renting it under your real name. + This applies doubly when the hotel is either currently a host to, or has + previously hosted a hacker con. + +* Don't porta-hack off your neighbor's phone line(s). In particular, don't + run a length of twisted pair from the neighbor's demarc point through your + bedroom window to your box. + +* Don't try to hook into any pedestal box that has the local electric + company's logo on it. + +* Don't fuck with any of the equipment at the connection points you leech + service off of. + +* Don't go visiting manholes in order to porta-hack. + +* Don't porta-hack in public places wearing a "2600" t-shirt or wearing the + same outfit you go to Marilyn Manson shows in. Clown make-up, however, is + acceptable. + +* Don't tell the whole fucking world (or even non-implicated friends) about + last night's porta-hacking session. + +* Don't porta-hack at the phone can in the front of your local gun range. + +* Don't bring your entire gang of friends and a keg while porta-hacking. A + girlfriend and a bottle of Wild Turkey is acceptable. However, indulge in + both in moderation. + +* Don't go porta-hacking on roller-blades. This is not the movies. Don't use + skateboards, mountain bikes, or lame four-cylinder compact cars either. + Real Cyberpunks go porta-hacking in Ford Crown Victorias, Chevy Caprices, + Dodge Diplomats, and other big cars that have V8 engines under the hood. + This also applies to hackers who are under 16, as we consider drivers' + licenses optional. + +* Do not carry a flare gun while porta-hacking.

But how many of us know, that for +example, the human body contains many weaknesses, bugs if you will, that can +be exploited just as easily as Wu_ftp? + +The reasons for this knowledge not being widely available are obvious. The +people who hold these secrets are like the master hackers who only give out +these powerful secrets to those they implicitly trust, or to those who have +shown their worth by diligent study and application of requisite materials. It +is not my purpose here to disseminate such information recklessly. Rather it +is to impart the reader with a respect for the capabilities of the human body +and the weaknesses contained therein, and of some of the basic ways these can +be used to protect yourself against a physical attack in the most effective +way possible....you don't want your aggressor to get back up. It NEVER pays +to be a nice guy during the escalation of a physical confrontation. Only in +the movies do the nice guys walk away, and not have to turn around. + +First some background concerning body mechanics. The human body, whether +through evolution or divine creation, moves with circular motion on many axes +simultaneously. Next time you walk to the bathroom or to the refrigerator to +refill your beer stein, try walking rigid, like a robot would, using just +linear motion. You will see immediately that this is an UNnatural method of +movement and how uncomfortable it is and to help me prove the theory behind +this article, just how much motion is wasted by this linear activity. It +takes a CONCERTED effort to maintain balance in this robotic movement. So now +we see the economy of motion and ease of action that the natural way our +bodies want to move gives us. Using this economy of motion and ease of action +now takes us to my next point, physically manipulating the human body in an +unnatural fashion. + +While many parts of the human body are very flexible, we can say that nothing +has full 360 degree rotation, and it is in this area I will address most of +this article to. Joint manipulation is the easiest way to start the +discussion. The best way to describe a joint manipulation is by example. +Open your right hand exposing the palm upward. Then place the index finger +of your left hand (with the rest of the fingers tucked in) into the right +palm. Now close your right hand around your index finger. Rotate your +right hand around feeling the limits of movement and committing them to +memory. Open the right hand back up and put the index finger AND the middle +finger of the left hand both in the palm, closing it. Rotate the right hand +once again sensing the difference this makes in this technique. Two fingers +are ALWAYS better than one, however, make sure that the two fingers you plan +on seizing are located next to each other on the hand.. or else you may lose +your grasp due to the difficult to grab shape this makes. One can also grab +separate fingers on an attackers same hand using both of your hands. This +is a great technique and is called separating the bone. Try this on a friend +(or enemy), but if on a friendly victim be sure to be careful, and have the +action performed on you so you know what this feels like. + +Moving to the wrist. There are plenty of things to do with the wrists but +for the sake of clarity I wont be discussing these much because placement of +the hands is very important and since I don't have the tools at my disposal +to include photographs, then I wouldn't want anyone to feel secure with just +a text example. But I will say this: get a friend and try out the rotational +limits of the wrist using one hand and then two. That's as easy as I can make +it without photos and for the sake of wasted bandwidth. The elbow is a very +self-explanatory structure, limitwise. + +The forearm has some rotation from the elbow due to the radial and ulna, but +this is secondary to the lack of real movement that the elbow has. This makes +it an extremely vulnerable architecture when it does become accessible for a +technique. This is the problem though, because the elbow tends to stay +behind the weapon that precedes it. Namely the fist or whatever the fist is +holding. If one was truly skilled at circular motion then it would be no +problem to simply circle around an attack to make the elbow more accessible, +or avert an attack and depend on the attackers over exertion of his own +sphere of influence....his own over extension of his circular motion, which +by the way helps us make another point. + +Depending on the attacker to not be in tune with his own natural motion, to be +clumsy and aloof, ignorant of how he moves, can also be a great key in +overcoming an opponent. Sort of like a buffer overwrite.... get the attacker +to overcommit...when he/she does, then take the advantage. If you happen to +get this far then personally I wouldn't go for the elbow at this juncture, but +for the purpose of discussion if you get in a bind and you have hold of an +arm, then pull downward violently to shake the opponent, causing a mild shock +to the back of the head where it meets the neck (this actually happens). Do +your best to take advantage in this moment of weakness by turning the arm over +placing another hand on the outside of the elbow pressuring downwards. +Experimentation with this pressure is absolutely necessary for you to feel how +this works. Also don't place the hand too high or too low... this can cause +the attacker to fold his elbow, opening you up to a vicious counterattack with +one of the body's most powerful weapons. Interesting that one of the bodies +weakest structures at its opposition, can become one of the strongest weapons +the body has. As for the shoulder, just move your own shoulder around to its +extremes and you will easily see how its weaknesses can be exploited. + +Continuing our discussion of the elbow from above, once the elbow is locked, +hopefully you would have enough forethought to make sure your attacker is +slightly away from you and bent over. Take this opportunity to jam his +shoulder with plenty of force in the direction of his jaw. This is a neat +little bonus of the straight elbow lock. Also preemptive striking to the +shoulder lessens any force of an incoming blow. This is what Bruce Lee called +a 'stop hit'. But this takes flawless timing and is out of context for this +article. + +Visiting the neck area we see several options. The throat provides us with +much soft collapsible mass which can be accessed quite easily, as long as +speed and accuracy are on your side. A quick and powerful jab to the larynx, +either above or below, gains us some time to explore more possibilities in our +defensive posture. We can now become the offensive party if we are successful +here. Note that also on the sides of the neck exist sternomatocollastoid +muscle structures (for exact placement of these check your Gray's Anatomy +Coloring Book) which give us ample space to access several 'pressure points' +which if manipulated (read SQUEEZED) properly will cause the brain to prompt +the body to lift up on the toes, thereby weakening any effort of your attacker +to strike with any force. I have only met one person completely immune to the +initial pain sequence produced by this technique, and it made for lots of +interesting experimentation, and unfortunately for our immune friend, lots of +bruises as well. Also within this muscle structure are the carotid arteries. +A well placed strike to the outsides of the neck will seize the muscles up, +causing the blood supply to the brain to be shut off. Contrary to popular +belief, this is how a strike to the temples work as well. To revive from such +a strike requires massage and gentle rotation of the neck structure to return +the muscles to their previous state. + +The eyes are an obvious weakness as is the nose, be it from straight on, +upwards, sideways, or even downwards. The ears are interesting because of +the occasional airtight capabilities. Have you ever been slapped on the +ear? The air pressure involved with that is tremendous for such a little +canal. Its no small wonder then that partial and often full deafness arises +out of such little force. There are also several pressure points located +beneath the ear which have differing effects, depending on how utilized. There +also exists on the back of the skull at the base where the vertebrae end which +when struck causes yet another shutdown of the brain due to the contraction of +muscles. Don't forget this key clue: where the head goes.... the body follows. + +Moving in a downward direction we have the ribs, where nerve fibers weave +in and out between the ribcage members. This takes practice but finding +these aren't too difficult. There is a term where nerves are exposed to +the underside of the flesh when running between muscle bundles. Its called +a cavity, and cavity striking is an acquired skill. Bodybuilders are known +for their extra musculature. Obviously. But with this muscularity comes a +nice big weakness which can be exploited by someone with little or no muscle +mass at all.....justice ;). It seems as though with this extra muscle comes +extra cavity space...i.e., more exposed nerve fiber. Need I say more on +this? + +The floating ribs are susceptible to becoming dislodged from their location, +given the right angle of approach. The abdominal area is naturally tense and +as well should be, unless trained in advanced deep abdominal conditioning +which has been a protected secret for centuries. I have seen examples of this +training and it is quite impressive. No tricks involved. I can spot a fake +from a thousand miles away. Real 'Iron Body' practitioners can be struck with +a variety of implements using full force with no damage done. All this is +done with complete relaxation of the abdominal muscle wall. But there is a +flaw in even the tensing of the abdominal area. The muscles that make up this +area are primarily weaved in a direction that naturally opposes force from the +front. If we introduce a spirryllic action slightly downwards to this mass +then we have exploited the weakness in the weave. + +The groin structure is really self explanatory, save for the few fanatical +practitioners of several martial arts who practice for hours a technique +where the testicles are drawn up inside the scrotum. But these guys are a +dead giveaway, wherein they must stand in a particular posture for this to +happen, exposing other areas to vulnerability. + +On the sides and slightly to the back of the thigh belong the sciatic nerves. +Repeated strikes to this area will definitely cause weakness in the legs, and +eventually an inability to stand straight without wavering. The knees, when a +person is standing straight up, are extremely vulnerable to being sheared +downward or to the side... this is very violent and should only be used in a +VERY life threatening situation. When slightly flexed then the knees are +vulnerable from the sides and back. Actually, the knees are ALWAYS weak from +the sides. There exist many pressure points on the thigh, shin and arch of the +foot that I will not address, as these require pinpoint accuracy to administer +to and this is beyond the scope of this treatment, however I will say that I +heard a story of a Special Forces Sergeant who, after being injured in Vietnam +had to walk with a cane, became so adept with the cane that in a particular +barfight all he had to do to subdue his attacker was stomp the cane down on +the arch of the foot, thereby disrupting the intricate pattern of bone and +ligament causing separation of said bone and ligament many times over. +Needless to say, with ZEN-like simplicity, the altercation was over before it +started. With this in mind, when in a bear hug type situation, never fail to +stomp down on the arch of the foot, unless you are suspended in the air. Then +it is a simple matter of using your head to make your point, while kicking at +the knees or shins. + +There are many more areas to address here and I have selectively left much out +because of the damaging nature of the techniques. I didn't pay too much +attention to the circular nature of the body in the offensive posture because +this is very advanced thought. To sum up this circular theory, think of +spinning a yo-yo around in a circle while the string is fully unwraped from +the axle.... what makes it spin faster?? what opposing forces are involved +here?? and where is the actual fulcrumatic action?? These are clues that if +experimented with to even a slight degree, will give the reader a great +understanding as to how a greater amount of force can be generated by using +the natural endowments of the body. + +Greets to the guys in VLAD, GHeap, DrHavoc, prophet, Special Forces then, +now, and forever, and to Thomas Icom. +Mujahadin - the real Desert Storm. + + -///- + + FROM CROSSBOWS TO CRYPTOGRAPHY: TECHNO-THWARTING THE STATE + by Chuck Hammill + weaponsrus@aol.com + + Given at the Future of Freedom Conference, November 1987 + Public Domain: Duplicate and Distribute Freely + + You know, technology--and particularly computer + technology--has often gotten a bad rap in Libertarian cir- + cles. We tend to think of Orwell's 1984, or Terry Gilliam's + Brazil, or the proximity detectors keeping East Berlin's + slave/citizens on their own side of the border, or the so- + phisticated bugging devices Nixon used to harass those on + his "enemies list." Or, we recognize that for the price of + a ticket on the Concorde we can fly at twice the speed of + sound, but only if we first walk thru a magnetometer run by + a government policeman, and permit him to paw thru our be- + longings if it beeps. + + But I think that mind-set is a mistake. Before there + were cattle prods, governments tortured their prisoners with + clubs and rubber hoses. Before there were lasers for + eavesdropping, governments used binoculars and lip-readers. + Though government certainly uses technology to oppress, the + evil lies not in the tools but in the wielder of the tools. + + In fact, technology represents one of the most promis- + ing avenues available for re-capturing our freedoms from + those who have stolen them. By its very nature, it favors + the bright (who can put it to use) over the dull (who can- + not). It favors the adaptable (who are quick to see the + merit of the new( over the sluggish (who cling to time- + tested ways). And what two better words are there to de- + scribe government bureaucracy than "dull" and "sluggish"? + + One of the clearest, classic triumphs of technology + over tyranny I see is the invention of the man-portable + crossbow. With it, an untrained peasant could now reliably + and lethally engage a target out to fifty meters--even if + that target were a mounted, chain-mailed knight. (Unlike + the longbow, which, admittedly was more powerful, and could + get off more shots per unit time, the crossbow required no + formal training to utilize. Whereas the longbow required + elaborate visual, tactile and kinesthetic coordination to + achieve any degree of accuracy, the wielder of a crossbow + could simply put the weapon to his shoulder, sight along the + arrow itself, and be reasonably assured of hitting his tar- + get.) + + Moreover, since just about the only mounted knights + likely to visit your average peasant would be government + soldiers and tax collectors, the utility of the device was + plain: With it, the common rabble could defend themselves + not only against one another, but against their governmental + masters. It was the medieval equivalent of the armor- + piercing bullet, and, consequently, kings and priests (the + medieval equivalent of a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and + Crossbows) threatened death and excommunication, respec- + tively, for its unlawful possession. + + Looking at later developments, we see how technology + like the firearm--particularly the repeating rifle and the + handgun, later followed by the Gatling gun and more advanced + machine guns--radically altered the balance of interpersonal + and inter-group power. Not without reason was the Colt .45 + called "the equalizer." A frail dance-hall hostess with one + in her possession was now fully able to protect herself + against the brawniest roughneck in any saloon. Advertise- + ments for the period also reflect the merchandising of the + repeating cartridge rifle by declaring that "a man on + horseback, armed with one of these rifles, simply cannot be + captured." And, as long as his captors were relying upon + flintlocks or single-shot rifles, the quote is doubtless a + true one. + + Updating now to the present, the public-key cipher + (with a personal computer to run it) represents an equiv- + alent quantum leap--in a defensive weapon. Not only can + such a technique be used to protect sensitive data in one's + own possession, but it can also permit two strangers to ex- + change information over an insecure communications + channel--a wiretapped phone line, for example, or + skywriting, for that matter)--without ever having previously + met to exchange cipher keys. With a thousand-dollar com- + puter, you can create a cipher that a multi-megabuck CRAY + X-MP can't crack in a year. Within a few years, it should + be economically feasible to similarly encrypt voice communi- + cations; soon after that, full-color digitized video images. + Technology will not only have made wiretapping obsolete, it + will have totally demolished government's control over in- + formation transfer. + + I'd like to take just a moment to sketch the mathemat- + ics which makes this principle possible. This algorithm is + called the RSA algorithm, after Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman + who jointly created it. Its security derives from the fact + that, if a very large number is the product of two very + large primes, then it is extremely difficult to obtain the + two prime factors from analysis of their product. "Ex- + tremely" in the sense that if primes p and q have 100 + digits apiece, then their 200-digit product cannot in gen- + eral be factored in less than 100 years by the most powerful + computer now in existence. + + The "public" part of the key consists of (1) the prod- + uct pq of the two large primes p and q, and (2) one fac- + tor, call it x , of the product xy where xy = {(p-1) * + (q-1) + 1}. The "private" part of the key consists of the + other factor y. + + Each block of the text to be encrypted is first turned + into an integer--either by using ASCII, or even a simple + A=01, B=02, C=03, ... , Z=26 representation. This integer + is then raised to the power x (modulo pq) and the resulting + integer is then sent as the encrypted message. The receiver + decrypts by taking this integer to the (secret) power y + (modulo pq). It can be shown that this process will always + yield the original number started with. + + What makes this a groundbreaking development, and why + it is called "public-key" cryptography," is that I can + openly publish the product pq and the number x , while + keeping secret the number y --so that anyone can send me + an encrypted message, namely + x + a (mod pq) , + but only I can recover the original message a , by taking + what they send, raising it to the power y and taking the + result (mod pq). The risky step (meeting to exchange cipher + keys) has been eliminated. So people who may not even trust + each other enough to want to meet, may still reliably ex- + change encrypted messages--each party having selected and + disseminated his own pq and his x , while maintaining + the secrecy of his own y . + + Another benefit of this scheme is the notion of a "dig- + ital signature," to enable one to authenticate the source of + a given message. Normally, if I want to send you a message, + I raise my plaintext a to your x and take the result (mod + your pq) and send that. + + However, if in my message, I take the plaintext a and + raise it to my (secret) power y , take the result (mod my + pq), then raise that result to your x (mod your pq) and + send this, then even after you have normally "decrypted" the + message, it will still look like garbage. However, if you + then raise it to my public power x , and take the result + (mod my public pq ), so you will not only recover the ori- + ginal plaintext message, but you will know that no one but I + could have sent it to you (since no one else knows my secret + y ). + + And these are the very concerns by the way that are to- + day tormenting the Soviet Union about the whole question of + personal computers. On the one hand, they recognize that + American schoolchildren are right now growing up with com- + puters as commonplace as sliderules used to be--more so, in + fact, because there are things computers can do which will + interest (and instruct) 3- and 4-year-olds. And it is pre- + cisely these students who one generation hence will be going + head-to-head against their Soviet counterparts. For the + Soviets to hold back might be a suicidal as continuing to + teach swordsmanship while your adversaries are learning + ballistics. On the other hand, whatever else a personal + computer may be, it is also an exquisitely efficient copying + machine--a floppy disk will hold upwards of 50,000 words of + text, and can be copied in a couple of minutes. If this + weren't threatening enough, the computer that performs the + copy can also encrypt the data in a fashion that is all but + unbreakable. Remember that in Soviet society publicly ac- + cessible Xerox machines are unknown. (The relatively few + copying machines in existence are controlled more inten- + sively than machine guns are in the United States.) + + Now the "conservative" position is that we should not + sell these computers to the Soviets, because they could use + them in weapons systems. The "liberal" position is that we + should sell them, in the interests of mutual trade and + cooperation--and anyway, if we don't make the sale, there + will certainly be some other nation willing to. + + For my part, I'm ready to suggest that the Libertarian + position should be to give them to the Soviets for free, and + if necessary, make them take them . . . and if that doesn't + work load up an SR-71 Blackbird and air drop them over + Moscow in the middle of the night. Paid for by private sub- + scription, of course, not taxation . . . I confess that this + is not a position that has gained much support among members + of the conventional left-right political spectrum, but, af- + ter all, in the words of one of Illuminatus's characters, we + are political non-Euclideans: The shortest distance to a + particular goal may not look anything like what most people + would consider a "straight line." Taking a long enough + world-view, it is arguable that breaking the Soviet govern- + ment monopoly on information transfer could better lead to + the enfeeblement and, indeed, to the ultimate dissolution of + the Soviet empire than would the production of another dozen + missiles aimed at Moscow. + + But there's the rub: A "long enough" world view does + suggest that the evil, the oppressive, the coercive and the + simply stupid will "get what they deserve," but what's not + immediately clear is how the rest of us can escape being + killed, enslaved, or pauperized in the process. + + When the liberals and other collectivists began to at- + tack freedom, they possessed a reasonably stable, healthy, + functioning economy, and almost unlimited time to proceed to + hamstring and dismantle it. A policy of political + gradualism was at least conceivable. But now, we have + patchwork crazy-quilt economy held together by baling wire + and spit. The state not only taxes us to "feed the poor" + while also inducing farmers to slaughter milk cows and drive + up food prices--it then simultaneously turns around and sub- + sidizes research into agricultural chemicals designed to in- + crease yields of milk from the cows left alive. Or witness + the fact that a decline in the price of oil is considered as + potentially frightening as a comparable increase a few years + ago. When the price went up, we were told, the economy + risked collapse for for want of energy. The price increase + was called the "moral equivalent of war" and the Feds swung + into action. For the first time in American history, the + speed at which you drive your car to work in the morning be- + came an issue of Federal concern. Now, when the price of + oil drops, again we risk problems, this time because Ameri- + can oil companies and Third World basket-case nations who + sell oil may not be able to ever pay their debts to our + grossly over-extended banks. The suggested panacea is that + government should now re-raise the oil prices that OPEC has + lowered, via a new oil tax. Since the government is seeking + to raise oil prices to about the same extent as OPEC did, + what can we call this except the "moral equivalent of civil + war--the government against its own people?" + + And, classically, in international trade, can you imag- + ine any entity in the world except a government going to + court claiming that a vendor was selling it goods too + cheaply and demanding not only that that naughty vendor be + compelled by the court to raise its prices, but also that it + be punished for the act of lowering them in the first place? + + So while the statists could afford to take a couple of + hundred years to trash our economy and our liberties--we + certainly cannot count on having an equivalent period of + stability in which to reclaim them. I contend that there + exists almost a "black hole" effect in the evolution of + nation-states just as in the evolution of stars. Once free- + dom contracts beyond a certain minimum extent, the state + warps the fabric of the political continuum about itself to + the degree that subsequent re-emergence of freedom becomes + all but impossible. A good illustration of this can be seen + in the area of so-called "welfare" payments. When those who + sup at the public trough outnumber (and thus outvote) those + whose taxes must replenish the trough, then what possible + choice has a democracy but to perpetuate and expand the tak- + ing from the few for the unearned benefit of the many? Go + down to the nearest "welfare" office, find just two people + on the dole . . . and recognize that between them they form + a voting bloc that can forever outvote you on the question + of who owns your life--and the fruits of your life's labor. + + So essentially those who love liberty need an "edge" of + some sort if we're ultimately going to prevail. We obvi- + ously can't use the altruists' "other-directedness" of + "work, slave, suffer, sacrifice, so that next generation of + a billion random strangers can live in a better world." + Recognize that, however immoral such an appeal might be, it + is nonetheless an extremely powerful one in today's culture. + If you can convince people to work energetically for a + "cause," caring only enough for their personal welfare so as + to remain alive enough and healthy enough to continue + working--then you have a truly massive reservoir of energy + to draw from. Equally clearly, this is just the sort of ap- + peal which tautologically cannot be utilized for egoistic or + libertarian goals. If I were to stand up before you tonight + and say something like, "Listen, follow me as I enunciate my + noble "cause," contribute your money to support the "cause," + give up your free time to work for the "cause," strive + selflessly to bring it about, and then (after you and your + children are dead) maybe your children's children will actu- + ally live under egoism"--you'd all think I'd gone mad. And + of course you'd be right. Because the point I'm trying to + make is that libertarianism and/or egoism will be spread if, + when, and as, individual libertarians and/or egoists find it + profitable and/or enjoyable to do so. And probably only + then. + + While I certainly do not disparage the concept of poli- + tical action, I don't believe that it is the only, nor even + necessarily the most cost-effective path toward increasing + freedom in our time. Consider that, for a fraction of the + investment in time, money and effort I might expend in try- + ing to convince the state to abolish wiretapping and all + forms of censorship--I can teach every libertarian who's in- + terested how to use cryptography to abolish them + unilaterally. + + There is a maxim--a proverb--generally attributed to + the Eskimoes, which very likely most Libertarians have al- + ready heard. And while you likely would not quarrel with + the saying, you might well feel that you've heard it often + enough already, and that it has nothing further to teach us, + and moreover, that maybe you're even tired of hearing it. I + shall therefore repeat it now: + + If you give a man a fish, the saying runs, you feed him + for a day. But if you teach a man how to fish, you feed him + for a lifetime. + + Your exposure to the quote was probably in some sort of + a "workfare" vs. "welfare" context; namely, that if you + genuinely wish to help someone in need, you should teach him + how to earn his sustenance, not simply how to beg for it. + And of course this is true, if only because the next time he + is hungry, there might not be anybody around willing or even + able to give him a fish, whereas with the information on how + to fish, he is completely self sufficient. + + But I submit that this exhausts only the first order + content of the quote, and if there were nothing further to + glean from it, I would have wasted your time by citing it + again. After all, it seems to have almost a crypto-altruist + slant, as though to imply that we should structure our ac- + tivities so as to maximize the benefits to such hungry + beggars as we may encounter. + + But consider: + + Suppose this Eskimo doesn't know how to fish, but he + does know how to hunt walruses. You, on the other hand, + have often gone hungry while traveling thru walrus country + because you had no idea how to catch the damn things, and + they ate most of the fish you could catch. And now suppose + the two of you decide to exchange information, bartering + fishing knowledge for hunting knowledge. Well, the first + thing to observe is that a transaction of this type + categorically and unambiguously refutes the Marxist premise + that every trade must have a "winner" and a "loser;" the + idea that if one person gains, it must necessarily be at the + "expense" of another person who loses. Clearly, under this + scenario, such is not the case. Each party has gained some- + thing he did not have before, and neither has been dimin- + ished in any way. When it comes to exchange of information + (rather than material objects) life is no longer a zero-sum + game. This is an extremely powerful notion. The "law of + diminishing returns," the "first and second laws of + thermodynamics"--all those "laws" which constrain our possi- + bilities in other contexts--no longer bind us! Now that's + anarchy! + + Or consider another possibility: Suppose this hungry + Eskimo never learned to fish because the ruler of his + nation-state had decreed fishing illegal. Because fish + contain dangerous tiny bones, and sometimes sharp spines, he + tells us, the state has decreed that their consumption--and + even their possession--are too hazardous to the people's + health to be permitted . . . even by knowledgeable, willing + adults. Perhaps it is because citizens' bodies are thought + to be government property, and therefore it is the function + of the state to punish those who improperly care for govern- + ment property. Or perhaps it is because the state gener- + ously extends to competent adults the "benefits" it provides + to children and to the mentally ill: namely, a full-time, + all-pervasive supervisory conservatorship--so that they need + not trouble themselves with making choices about behavior + thought physically risky or morally "naughty." But, in any + case, you stare stupefied, while your Eskimo informant re- + lates how this law is taken so seriously that a friend of + his was recently imprisoned for years for the crime of "pos- + session of nine ounces of trout with intent to distribute." + + Now you may conclude that a society so grotesquely + oppressive as to enforce a law of this type is simply an + affront to the dignity of all human beings. You may go far- + ther and decide to commit some portion of your discretion- + ary, recreational time specifically to the task of thwarting + this tyrant's goal. (Your rationale may be "altruistic" in + the sense of wanting to liberate the oppressed, or + "egoistic" in the sense of proving you can outsmart the + oppressor--or very likely some combination of these or per- + haps even other motives.) + + But, since you have zero desire to become a martyr to + your "cause," you're not about to mount a military campaign, + or even try to run a boatload of fish through the blockade. + However, it is here that technology--and in particular in- + formation technology--can multiply your efficacy literally a + hundredfold. I say "literally," because for a fraction of + the effort (and virtually none of the risk) attendant to + smuggling in a hundred fish, you can quite readily produce a + hundred Xerox copies of fishing instructions. (If the tar- + geted government, like present-day America, at least permits + open discussion of topics whose implementation is re- + stricted, then that should suffice. But, if the government + attempts to suppress the flow of information as well, then + you will have to take a little more effort and perhaps write + your fishing manual on a floppy disk encrypted according to + your mythical Eskimo's public-key parameters. But as far as + increasing real-world access to fish you have made genuine + nonzero headway--which may continue to snowball as others + re-disseminate the information you have provided. And you + have not had to waste any of your time trying to convert id- + eological adversaries, or even trying to win over the unde- + cided. Recall Harry Browne's dictum from "Freedom in an + Unfree World" that the success of any endeavor is in general + inversely proportional to the number of people whose persua- + sion is necessary to its fulfilment. + + If you look at history, you cannot deny that it has + been dramatically shaped by men with names like Washington, + Lincoln, . . . Nixon . . . Marcos . . . Duvalier . . . + Khadaffi . . . and their ilk. But it has also been shaped + by people with names like Edison, Curie, Marconi, Tesla and + Wozniak. And this latter shaping has been at least as per- + vasive, and not nearly so bloody. + + And that's where I'm trying to take The LiberTech + Project. Rather than beseeching the state to please not en- + slave, plunder or constrain us, I propose a libertarian net- + work spreading the technologies by which we may seize + freedom for ourselves. + + But here we must be a bit careful. While it is not (at + present) illegal to encrypt information when government + wants to spy on you, there is no guarantee of what the fu- + ture may hold. There have been bills introduced, for exam- + ple, which would have made it a crime to wear body armor + when government wants to shoot you. That is, if you were to + commit certain crimes while wearing a Kevlar vest, then that + fact would constitute a separate federal crime of its own. + This law to my knowledge has not passed . . . yet . . . but + it does indicate how government thinks. + + Other technological applications, however, do indeed + pose legal risks. We recognize, for example, that anyone + who helped a pre-Civil War slave escape on the "underground + railroad" was making a clearly illegal use of technology--as + the sovereign government of the United States of America at + that time found the buying and selling of human beings quite + as acceptable as the buying and selling of cattle. Simi- + larly, during Prohibition, anyone who used his bathtub to + ferment yeast and sugar into the illegal psychoactive drug, + alcohol--the controlled substance, wine--was using technol- + ogy in a way that could get him shot dead by federal agents + for his "crime"--unfortunately not to be restored to life + when Congress reversed itself and re-permitted use of this + drug. + + So . . . to quote a former President, un-indicted co- + conspirator and pardoned felon . . . "Let me make one thing + perfectly clear:" The LiberTech Project does not advocate, + participate in, or conspire in the violation of any law--no + matter how oppressive, unconstitutional or simply stupid + such law may be. It does engage in description (for educa- + tional and informational purposes only) of technological + processes, and some of these processes (like flying a plane + or manufacturing a firearm) may well require appropriate li- + censing to perform legally. Fortunately, no license is + needed for the distribution or receipt of information it- + self. + + So, the next time you look at the political scene and + despair, thinking, "Well, if 51% of the nation and 51% of + this State, and 51% of this city have to turn Libertarian + before I'll be free, then somebody might as well cut my + goddamn throat now, and put me out of my misery"--recognize + that such is not the case. There exist ways to make your- + self free. + + If you wish to explore such techniques via the Project, + you are welcome to give me your name and address--or a fake + name and mail drop, for that matter--and you'll go on the + mailing list for my erratically-published newsletter. Any + friends or acquaintances whom you think would be interested + are welcome as well. I'm not even asking for stamped self- + addressed envelopes, since my printer can handle mailing la- + bels and actual postage costs are down in the noise compared + with the other efforts in getting an issue out. If you + should have an idea to share, or even a useful product to + plug, I'll be glad to have you write it up for publication. + Even if you want to be the proverbial "free rider" and just + benefit from what others contribute--you're still welcome: + Everything will be public domain; feel free to copy it or + give it away (or sell it, for that matter, 'cause if you can + get money for it while I'm taking full-page ads trying to + give it away, you're certainly entitled to your capitalist + profit . . .) Anyway, every application of these principles + should make the world just a little freer, and I'm certainly + willing to underwrite that, at least for the forseeable fu- + ture. + + I will leave you with one final thought: If you don't + learn how to beat your plowshares into swords before they + outlaw swords, then you sure as HELL ought to learn before + they outlaw plowshares too. + + --Chuck Hammill + + THE LIBERTECH PROJECT + + -///- + + ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ + ³ Vesoft and the Hewlett Packard 3000 ³ + ³ by Black IC ³ + ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ + + There have been numerous articles written about the Hewlett Packard +3000 and how to break the system. This write up does not deal solely with +the HP3000 but with the addon for tighter security by the VESOFT corporation. + + As time goes on and people begin to see the need for better security +and a more productive system, it's becoming harder to exploit any weakness +that could be on said system. That's where VESOFT comes in. + +VESOFT +1135 S. Beverly Dr. +Los Angeles, CA +90035-1119 + +(310) 282-0420 +(310) 785-9566 (Fax) + + They have been supporting Hewlett Packards since 1980 with excellent +addons for the HP3000. In the following paragraphs I discuss the various +utilites that VESOFT employs and what you might expect on a VESOFT secured +system. + + ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ + ³ MPEX 3000 ³ + ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ + + The MPEX addon emulates and implements virtually all of the MPE/iX +user interface features (variables, command files, implied :RUN, :CALC, +:COPY, :PRINT, etc) on MPE/V. Not only does this add a lot of power to the +MPE/V system, but it also lets you use the same job streams on MPE/V and on +the MPE/iX (If the owner of the Hewlett Packard has both setups!) + + So initially you wont see a difference with the target system. Also +if the system has VESOFT installed and not on the other systems their, +that's not an issue right now cause if you are experienced with the 3000 +series and the likes you will be able to navigate with out a problem. + + ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ + ³ VE AUDIT 3000 ³ + ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ + + The Audit program from VESOFT is a resecurement utility very similar +to the SATAN program for UNIX. The purpose of VE AUDIT is to check the +system for loopholes and to assist the Manager/System Administrator in +resecuring the system. VE AUDIT takes the laborous job of checking accounts +(LISTACCT), users (LISTUSER), and groups (LISTGROUP) to see who has what +access, capabilities, no passwords, etc. The program goes through everything +and then reports to manager what loopholes (if any) are found and what is the +suggested step to resecure that system. This program can also be used to +alter the system accounting structure as well as look at it with a new set +of commands. + + The program is run when you set the attributes (password, capability, +access mask). List them in one or two line object format. Create an MPEX +command file that will rebuild the accounting structure when the program is +executed. Purge them after prompting. + + As you can see this program will assist the manager/system +administrator in an easy to use manner and allows the system security to be +tightened in a way that was not as easy on the standard HP3000. + + ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ + ³ SECURITY 3000 ³ + ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ + + The VESOFT security program works in several ways to secure the +Hewlett Packard system. Most HP3000 systems will allow users to log on to +the system using a non-unique name and generic session name with a session +password (i.e. JOE.PAYROLL as opposed to JOE,CLERK.PAYROLL). The VESOFT +program will no matter what format the system uses to establish identity +allow the use of a session name and a password for that individual, thus +increasing the security 10-fold. It will also eliminate the annoying habit of +users omitting the session name since the MPE operating system considers it +optional. + + Changing of passwords become manditory through the security program. +Saving the account manger time by having a set time period for the users +to change their passwords (i.e. every 30 days or as set). + + Some HP3000 systems when accessed give the user access to the MPE +prompt ":" which most users don't need access to all the commands. VESOFT now +sets up a menu of options which allows the user to use the given choices +and nothing else. + + If the system has dial-ups the security program allows passwords on +a terminal by terminal basis thus adding in a second password to protect the +system. Thus anyone calling up not only has to get past the dial-up sequence +but they also have to log in to the system as if they were at the console. + + If the system is run on networks then the program will synchronize the +network and allow file transfers with out actually logging into the +receiving system. Users will also have to login to a system at a different +terminal just as if they were at that console. + + Embedded passwords are probably one of the biggest threats to HP3000 +systems along with shared passwords and passwords that have not been changed +in a long time. It then is easier for someone to access the system seeing as +it will be easier to figure out. Once a password has become embed the ability +to change it in a job stream is very hard and time consuming. The security +program comes with what is called the "STREAMX" module which will do all the +handy work for the account manager. + + Logoff now has a built in timer so those users that are idle or leave +the system unattended for a given amount of time will automatically be logged +off and the integrity of the system brought back to normal. + + This covers the basics of the VESOFT programs. As you can see any +entry into an HP3000 using VESOFT will not react as usual and the +accessibility has been changed to that of seriously protected. I'll save the +coverage of surveillance social engineering and dumpster diving for others. +What I will say is you need to have a firm grasp of the target system and its +users. + + ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ + ³ DEFAULTS ³ + ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ + + The following is a list of some of the defaults in the Hewlett Packard +MPEX System used on the 3000 and the likes. Keep in mind that a resecured +system is going to have the defaults removed and replaced with a tighter +setup. Remote login maintenance has been a pride and joy of Hewlett packard +owners. It is also one of the most exploited in terms of malicious entry. +With the VESOFT programs properly installed the usual one password entry +for remote will now be two. The default accounts are almost always open if +they still exist. Aside from "dumpster diving" you should consider social +engineering names and as much info as possible about the system you are +attempting to get in on, just incase you are asked for a password. Sometimes +you will come across a system that uses the "terminal password" at login. +This is an old option and thus being an option does not have any defaults. + + +operator.cognos mgr.hpword field.hpword +manager.hpoffice mgr.hpoffice wp.hpoffice +spoolman.hpoffice mailman.hpoffice advmail.hpoffice +mail.hpoffice field.support operator.support +operator.sys rsbcmon.sys pcuser.sys +operator.system operator.disc mgr.xlserver +manager.itf3000 sys.telesup manager.security +mgr.conv mgr.rje mgr.hpp187 +mgr.hpp189 mgr.hpp196 field.hpp187 +mgr.intx3 mgr.carolian manager.tch +mgr.word mgr.telesup field.service +operator.disc mgr.ccc field.hpunsup +field.hp mgr.hpp189 mgr.hpp196 +mail.mail mail.netbase mgr.rego +mgr.rje mgr.robelle mgr.cnas +mgr.hpdesk mgr.robelle mgr.vesoft + + + I hope this write up will provoke more interest in the Hewlett Packard +systems namely the HP3000.

WE FEEL THAT THE CURRENT HAPPENINGS +IN THE COMPUTER WORLD ARE EXTREMELY SIGNIFICANT FOR ANYONE WHO HAS ANY +INTEREST IN COMMUNICATIONS AND/OR TECHNOLOGY. WE'D BE MOST INTERESTED IN +ANY FEEDBACK ON THIS TOPIC. +*************************************************************************** + +************************ +ARTICLE ONE: AN OVERVIEW +************************ + +A year ago, we told the stories of Kevin Mitnick and Herbert Zinn, +two hackers who had been sent to prison. It was then, and still is today, +a very disturbing chain of events: mischief makers and explorers imprisoned +for playing with the wrong toys and for asking too many questions. We said +at the time that it was important for all hackers to stand up to such gross +injustices. After all, they couldn't lock us all up. + +It now appears that such an endeavor may indeed be on the agendas of some very +powerful U.S. governmental agencies. And even more frightening is the +realization that these agencies don't particularly care who or what gets swept +up along with the hackers, as long as all of the hackers get swept up. +Apparently, we're considered even more of a threat than we had previously +supposed. + +In retrospect, this doesn't come as a great deal of a surprise. In fact, it now +seems to make all too much sense. You no longer have to be paranoid or of a + +been witnesses to. Censorship, clampdowns, "voluntary" urine tests, lie +detectors, handwriting analysis, surveillance cameras, exaggerated crises that +invariably lead to curtailed freedoms.... All of this together with the +overall view that if you're innocent, you've got nothing to hide. And all made +so much more effective through the magic of high tech. Who would you target as +the biggest potential roadblock if not the people who understand the +technology at work? It appears the biggest threats to the system are those +capable of manipulating it. + +What we're about to tell you is frightening, plain and simple. You don't have +to be a hacker to understand this. The words and ideas are easily translatable +to any time and any culture. + +Crackdown + +"We can now expect a crackdown...I just hope that I can pull through this one +and that my friends can also. This is the time to watch yourself. No matter +what you are into.... Apparently the government has seen the last straw in +their point of view.... I think they are going after all the 'teachers'...and +so that is where their energies will be put: to stop all hackers, and stop +people before they can become threats." + +This was one of the reactions on a computer bulletin board to a series of raids +on hackers, raids that had started in 1989 and spread rapidly into early 1990. +Atlanta, St. Louis, and New York were major targets in what was then an +undetermined investigation. + +This in itself wouldn't have been especially alarming, since raids on hackers +can almost be defined as commonplace. But this one was different. For the very +first time, a hacker newsletter had also been shut down. + +Phrack was an electronic newsletter published out of St. Louis and distributed +worldwide. It dealt with hacker and phone phreak matters and could be found on +nearly all hacker bulletin boards. While dealing with sensitive material, the +editors were very careful not to publish anything illegal (credit card +numbers, passwords, Sprint codes, etc.). We described "Phrack World News" (a +regular column of Phrack) in our Summer 1989 edition as "a must-read for many +hackers". In many ways Phrack resembled 2600, with the exception of being sent +via electronic mail instead of U.S. Mail. That distinction would prove to be +Phrack's undoing. + +It now turns out that all incoming and outgoing electronic mail used by Phrack +was being monitored by the authorities. Every piece of mail going in and every +piece of mail coming out. These were not pirated mailboxes that were being +used by a couple of hackers. These had been obtained legally through the +school the two Phrack editors were attending. Privacy on such mailboxes, +though not guaranteed, could always be assumed. Never again. + +It's fairly obvious that none of this would have happened, none of this could +have happened had Phrack been a non-electronic magazine. A printed magazine +would not be intimidated into giving up its mailing list as Phrack was. Had a +printed magazine been shut down in this fashion after having all of their mail +opened and read, even the most thick-headed sensationalist media types would +have caught on: hey, isn't that a violation of the First Amendment? + +Those media people who understood what was happening and saw the implications +were very quickly drowned out in the hysteria that followed. Indictments were +being handed out. Publisher/editor Craig Neidorf, known in the hacker world as +Knight Lightning, was hit with a seven count indictment accusing him of +participating in a scheme to steal information about the enhanced 911 system +run by Bell South. Quickly, headlines screamed that hackers had broken into +the 911 system and were interfering with emergency telephone calls to the +police. One newspaper report said there were no indications that anyone had +died or been injured as a result of the intrusions. What a relief. Too bad it +wasn't true. + +In actuality there have been very grievous injuries suffered as a result of +these intrusions. The intrusions we're referring to are those of the +government and the media. The injuries have been suffered by the defendants +who will have great difficulty resuming normal lives even if all of this is +forgotten tomorrow. + +And if it's not forgotten, Craig Neidorf could go to jail for more than 30 +years and be fined $122,000. And for what? Let's look at the indictment: + +"It was... part of the scheme that defendant Neidorf, utilizing a computer at +the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri would and did receive a copy +of the stolen E911 text file from defendant [Robert J.] Riggs [located in +Atlanta and known in the hacker world as Prophet] through the Lockport +[Illinois] computer bulletin board system through the use of an interstate +computer data network. + +"It was further part of the scheme that defendant Neidorf would and did edit +and retype the E911 Practice text file at the request of the defendant Riggs +in order to conceal the source of the E911 Practice text file and to prepare +it for publication in a computer hacker newsletter. + +"It was further part of the scheme that defendant Neidorf would and did +transfer the stolen E911 Practice text file through the use of an interstate +computer bulletin board system used by defendant Riggs in Lockport, Illinois. + +"It was further part of the scheme that the defendants Riggs and Neidorf would +publish information to other computer hackers which could be used to gain +unauthorized access to emergency 911 computer systems in the United States and +thereby disrupt or halt 911 service in portions of the United States." + +Basically, Neidorf is being charged with receiving a stolen document. There is +nothing anywhere in the indictment that even suggests he entered any computer +illegally. So his crimes are receiving, editing, and transmitting. + +Now what is contained in this document? Information about how to gain +unauthorized access to, disrupt, or halt 911 service? Hardly. The document +(erroneously referred to as "911 software" by the media which caused all kinds +of misunderstandings) is quoted in Phrack Volume 2, Number 24 and makes for +one of the dullest articles ever to appear in the newsletter. According to the +indictment, the value of this 20k document is $79,449. [See story that follows this one] + +Shortly after the indictments were handed down, a member of the Legion of Doom +known as Erik Bloodaxe issued a public statement. "[A group of three hackers] +ended up pulling files off [a Southern Bell system] for them to look at. This +is usually standard procedure: you get on a system, look around for +interesting text, buffer it, and maybe print it out for posterity. No member +of LOD has ever (to my knowledge) broken into another system and used any +information gained from it for personal gain of any kind...with the exception +of maybe a big boost in his reputation around the underground. [A hacker] took +the documentation to the system and wrote a file about it. There are actually +two files, one is an overview, the other is a glossary. The information is +hardly something anyone could possibly gain anything from except knowledge +about how a certain aspect of the telephone company works." + +He went on to say that Neidorf would have had no way of knowing whether or not +the file contained proprietary information. + +Prosecutors refused to say how hackers could benefit from the information, nor +would they cite a motive or reveal any actual damage. In addition, it's widely +speculated that much of this information is readily available as reference +material. + +In all of the indictments, the Legion of Doom is defined as "a closely knit +group of computer hackers involved in: a) disrupting telecommunications by +entering computerized telephone switches and changing the routing on the +circuits of the computerized switches; b) stealing proprietary computer source +code and information from companies and individuals that owned the code and +information; c) stealing and modifying credit information on individuals +maintained in credit bureau computers; d) fraudulently obtaining money and +property from companies by altering the computerized information used by the +companies; e) disseminating information with respect to their methods of +attacking computers to other computer hackers in an effort to avoid the focus +of law enforcement agencies and telecommunication security experts." + +Ironically, since the Legion of Doom isn't a closely knit group, it's unlikely +that anyone will be able to defend the group's name against these charges -- +any defendants will naturally be preoccupied with their own defenses. +(Incidentally, Neidorf was not a part of the Legion of Doom, nor was Phrack +a publication of LOD, as has been reported.) + +The Hunt Intensifies + +After learning of the Phrack electronic mail surveillance, one of the system +operators of The Phoenix Project, a computer bulletin board in Austin, Texas, +decided to take action to protect the privacy of his users. "I will be adding +a secure encryption routine into the e-mail in the next 2 weeks - I haven't +decided exactly how to implement it, but it'll let two people exchange mail +encrypted by a password only known to the two of them.... Anyway, I do not +think I am due to be busted...I don't do anything but run a board. Still, +there is that possibility. I assume that my lines are all tapped until proven +otherwise. There is some question to the wisdom of leaving the board up at +all, but I have personally phoned several government investigators and invited +them to join us here on the board. If I begin to feel that the board is +putting me in any kind of danger, I'll pull it down with no notice - I hope +everyone understands. It looks like it's sweeps-time again for the feds. Let's +hope all of us are still around in 6 months to talk about it." + +The new security was never implemented. The Phoenix Project was seized within +days. + +And the clampdown intensified still further. On March 1, the offices of Steve +Jackson Games, a publishing company in Austin, were raided by the Secret +Service. According to the Associated Press, the home of the managing editor +was also searched. The police and Secret Service seized books, manuals, +computers, technical equipment, and other documents. Agents also seized the +final draft of a science fiction game written by the company. According to the +Austin American-Statesman, the authorities were trying to determine whether +the game was being used as a handbook for computer crime. + +Callers to the Illuminati bulletin board (run by Steve Jackson Games), received +the following message: + +"Before the start of work on March 1, Steve Jackson Games was visited by agents +of the United States Secret Service. They searched the building thoroughly, +tore open several boxes in the warehouse, broke a few locks, and damaged a +couple of filing cabinets (which we would gladly have let them examine, had +they let us into the building), answered the phone discourteously at best, and +confiscated some computer equipment, including the computer that the BBS was +running on at the time. + +"So far we have not received a clear explanation of what the Secret Service was +looking for, what they expected to find, or much of anything else. We are +fairly certain that Steve Jackson Games is not the target of whatever +investigation is being conducted; in any case, we have done nothing illegal +and have nothing whatsoever to hide. However, the equipment that was seized is +apparently considered to be evidence in whatever they're investigating, so we +aren't likely to get it back any time soon. It could be a month, it could be +never. + +"To minimize the possibility that this system will be confiscated as well, we +have set it up to display this bulletin, and that's all. There is no message +base at present. We apologize for the inconvenience, and we wish we dared do +more than this." + +Apparently, one of the system operators of The Phoenix Project was also +affiliated with Steve Jackson Games. And that was all the authorities needed. + +Raids continued throughout the country with reports of more than a dozen +bulletin boards being shut down. In Atlanta, the papers reported that three +local LOD hackers faced 40 years in prison and a $2 million fine. + +Another statement from a Legion of Doom member (The Mentor, also a system +operator of The Phoenix Project) attempted to explain the situation: + +"LOD was formed to bring together the best minds from the computer underground +- not to do any damage or for personal profit, but to share experiences and +discuss computing. The group has always maintained the highest ethical +standards.... On many occasions, we have acted to prevent abuse of systems.... +I have known the people involved in this 911 case for many years, and there +was absolutely no intent to interfere with or molest the 911 system in any +manner. While we have occasionally entered a computer that we weren't supposed +to be in, it is grounds for expulsion from the group and social ostracism to +do any damage to a system or to attempt to commit fraud for personal profit. + +"The biggest crime that has been committed is that of curiosity.... We have +been instrumental in closing many security holes in the past, and had hoped to +continue to do so in the future. The list of computer security people who +count us as allies is long, but must remain anonymous. If any of them choose +to identify themselves, we would appreciate the support." + +And The Plot Thickens + +Meanwhile, in Lockport, Illinois, a strange tale was unfolding. The public UNIX +system known as Jolnet that had been used to transmit the 911 files had also +been seized. What's particularly odd here is that, according to the electronic +newsletter Telecom Digest, the system operator, Rich Andrews, had been +cooperating with federal authorities for over a year. Andrews found the files +on his system nearly two years ago, forwarded them to AT&T, and was +subsequently contacted by the authorities. He cooperated fully. Why, then, was +his system seized as well? Andrews claimed it was all part of the +investigation, but added, "One way to get [hackers] is by shutting down the +sites they use to distribute stuff." + +The Jolnet raid caused outrage in the bulletin board world, particularly among +administrators and users of public UNIX systems. + +Cliff Figallo, system administrator for The Well, a public UNIX system in +California, voiced his concern. "The assumption that federal agents can seize +a system owner's equipment as evidence in spite of the owner's lack of proven +involvement in the alleged illegal activities (and regardless of the +possibility that the system is part of the owner's livelihood) is scary to me +and should be to anyone responsible for running a system such as this." + +Here is a sampling of some of the comments seen around the country after the +Jolnet seizure: + +"As administrator for Zygot, should I start reading my users' mail to make +sure they aren't saying anything naughty? Should I snoop through all the files +to make sure everyone is being good? This whole affair is rather chilling." + +"From what I have noted with respect to Jolnet, there was a serious crime +committed there -- by the [federal authorities]. If they busted a system with +email on it, the Electronic Communication Privacy Act comes into play. +Everyone who had email dated less than 180 days old on the system is entitled +to sue each of the people involved in the seizure for at least $1,000 plus +legal fees and court costs. Unless, of course, the [authorities] did it by the +book, and got warrants to interfere with the email of all who had accounts on +the systems. If they did, there are strict limits on how long they have to +inform the users." + +"Intimidation, threats, disruption of work and school, 'hit lists', and +serious legal charges are all part of the tactics being used in this +'witch-hunt'. That ought to indicate that perhaps the use of pseudonyms wasn't +such a bad idea after all." + +"There are civil rights and civil liberties issues here that have yet to be +addressed. And they probably won't even be raised so long as everyone acts on +the assumption that all hackers are criminals and vandals and need to be +squashed, at whatever cost...." + +"I am disturbed, on principle, at the conduct of at least some of the federal +investigations now going on. I know several people who've taken their systems +out of public access just because they can't risk the seizure of their +equipment (as evidence or for any other reason). If you're a Usenet site, you +may receive megabytes of new data every day, but you have no common carrier +protection in the event that someone puts illegal information onto the Net and +thence into your system." + +Increased Restrictions + +But despite the outpourings of concern for what had happened, many system +administrators and bulletin board operators felt compelled to tighten the +control of their systems and to make free speech a little more difficult, for +their own protection. + +Bill Kuykendall, system administrator for The Point, a public UNIX system in +Chicago, made the following announcement to the users of his system: + +"Today, there is no law or precedent which affords me... the same legal rights +that other common carriers have against prosecution should some other party +(you) use my property (The Point) for illegal activities. That worries me.... + +"I fully intend to explore the legal questions raised here. In my opinion, the +rights to free assembly and free speech would be threatened if the owners of +public meeting places were charged with the responsibility of policing all +conversations held in the hallways and lavatories of their facilities for +references to illegal activities. + +"Under such laws, all privately owned meeting places would be forced out of +existence, and the right to meet and speak freely would vanish with them. The +common sense of this reasoning has not yet been applied to electronic meeting +places by the legislature. This issue must be forced, or electronic bulletin +boards will cease to exist. + +"In the meantime, I intend to continue to operate The Point with as little risk +to myself as possible. Therefore, I am implementing a few new policies: + +"No user will be allowed to post any message, public or private, until his name +and address has been adequately verified. Most users in the metropolitan +Chicago area have already been validated through the telephone number +directory service provided by Illinois Bell. Those of you who received +validation notices stating that your information had not been checked due to a +lack of time on my part will now have to wait until I get time before being +allowed to post. + +"Out of state addresses cannot be validated in the manner above.... The short +term solution for users outside the Chicago area is to find a system closer to +home than The Point. + +"Some of the planned enhancements to The Point are simply not going to happen +until the legal issues are resolved. There will be no shell access and no file +upload/download facility for now. + +"My apologies to all who feel inconvenienced by these policies, but under the +circumstances, I think your complaints would be most effective if made to your +state and federal legislators. Please do so!" + +These restrictions were echoed on other large systems, while a number of +smaller hacker bulletin boards disappeared altogether. We've been told by some +in the hacker world that this is only a phase, that the hacker boards will be + +words and identities "registered". But there's also a nagging suspicion, the +feeling that something is very different now. A publication has been shut +down. Hundreds, if not thousands, of names have been seized from mailing lists +and will, no doubt, be investigated. The facts in the 911 story have been +twisted and misrepresented beyond recognition, thanks to ignorance and +sensationalism. People and organizations that have had contact with any of the +suspects are open to investigation themselves. And, around the country, +computer operators and users are becoming more paranoid and less willing to +allow free speech. In the face of all of this, the belief that democracy will +triumph in the end seems hopelessly naive. Yet, it's something we dare not +stop believing in. Mere faith in the system, however, is not enough. + +We hope that someday we'll be able to laugh at the absurdities of today. But, +for now, let's concentrate on the facts and make sure they stay in the +forefront. + +==> Were there break-ins involving the E911 system? If so, the entire story +must be revealed. How did the hackers get in? What did they have access to? +What could they have done? What did they actually do? Any security holes that +were revealed should already have been closed. If there are more, why do they +still exist? Could the original holes have been closed earlier and, if so, why +weren't they? Any hacker who caused damage to the system should be held +accountable. Period. Almost every hacker around seems to agree with this. So +what is the problem? The glaring fact that there doesn't appear to have been +any actual damage. Just the usual assortment of gaping security holes that +never seem to get fixed. Shoddiness in design is something that shouldn't be +overlooked in a system as important as E911. Yet that aspect of the case is +being side-stepped. Putting the blame on the hackers for finding the flaws is +another way of saying the flaws should remain undetected. + +==> Under no circumstance should the Phrack newsletter or any of its editors be +held as criminals for printing material leaked to them. Every publication of +any value has had documents given to them that were not originally intended +for public consumption. That's how news stories are made. Shutting down Phrack +sends a very ominous message to publishers and editors across the nation. + +==> Finally, the privacy of computer users must be respected by the government. +It's ironic that hackers are portrayed as the ones who break into systems, +read private mail, and screw up innocent people. Yet it's the federal +authorities who seem to have carte blanche in that department. Just what did +the Secret Service do on these computer systems? What did they gain access to? +Whose mail did they read? And what allowed them to do this? + +Take Exception + +It's very easy to throw up your hands and say it's all too much. But the facts +indicate to us that we've come face to face with a very critical moment in +history. What comes out of this could be a trend-setting precedent, not only +for computer users, but for the free press and every citizen of the United +States. Complacency at this stage will be most detrimental. + +We also realize that one of the quickest ways of losing credibility is to be +shrill and conspiracy-minded. We hope we're not coming across in this way +because we truly believe there is a significant threat here. If Phrack is +successfully shut down and its editors sent to prison for writing an article, +2600 could easily be next. And so could scores of other publications whose +existence ruffles some feathers. We cannot allow this to happen. + +In the past, we've called for people to spread the word on various issues. More +times than not, the results have been felt. Never has it been more important +than now. To be silent at this stage is to accept a very grim and dark future. + +************************************************* +ARTICLE TWO: A REVIEW OF THE E911 DOCUMENT ITSELF + + +Documentation on the E911 System +March 1988 +$79,449, 6 pages +Bell South Standard Practice +660-225-104SV +Review by Emmanuel Goldstein + +It otherwise would have been a quickly forgotten text published in a hacker +newsletter. But due to all of the commotion, the Bell South E911 document is +now very much in the public eye. Copies are extremely easy to come by, despite +Bell South's assertion that the whole thing is worth $79,449. + +While we can't publish the actual document, we can report on its contents since +it's become a news story in itself. But don't get excited. There really isn't +all that much here. + +Certain acronyms are introduced, among them Public Safety Answering Point +(PSAP), also known as Emergency Service Bureau (ESB). This is what you get (in +telco lingo) when you dial 911. The importance of close coordination between +these agencies is stressed. Selective routing allows the 911 call to be routed +to the proper PSAP. The 1A ESS is used as the tandem office for this routing. +Certain services made available with E911 include Forced Disconnect, +Alternative Routing, Selective Routing, Selective Transfer, Default Routing, +Night Service, Automatic Number Identification, and Automatic Location +Identification. + +We learn of the existence of the E911 Implementation Team, the brave men and +women from Network Marketing who help with configuration in the difficult +cutover period. This team is in charge of forming an ongoing maintenance + + +We learn that the Switching Control Center (SCC) "is responsible for E911/1AESS +translations in tandem central offices". We're not exactly shocked by this +revelation. + +We also find out what is considered a "priority one" trouble report. Any link +down to the PSAP fits this definition. We also learn that when ANI fails, the +screens will display all zeroes. + +We could go on but we really don't want to bore you. None of this information +would allow a hacker to gain access to such a system. All it affords is a +chance to understand the administrative functions a little better. We'd like to +assume that any outside interference to a 911 system is impossible. Does Bell +South know otherwise? In light of their touchiness on the matter, we have to +wonder. + +We'd be most interested in hearing from people with more technical knowledge on +the subject. What does this whole escapade tell us?

Ours + is founded upon hatred. In our world, there will be no emotions except + fear, rage, triumph and self-abasement. Everything else we shall destroy + -- everything." + + An imaginary 1984 pictured by George Orwell in his book : "Nineteen Eighty + Four". +------------------------------------------------------------------- + You may laugh at the future that George Orwell predicted, that of a society +of tyrants, destroying humanity and keeping them under grip. Yet that is +exactly what is happening to our world today. Every government in the world +has the power to control, manipulate and eavesdrop on it's citizens. Every +police force or secret service has the power to arrest, detain and even have +you murdered, in the name of "justice". And the scary thing is, they aren't +afraid to use it. + + Most people place censorship, extreme propaganda, and subliminal advertising +as something that only happens in countries such as Iraq, Cuba, or the USSR. +Yet it happens everywhere in the world, France, England, Germany, and Canada, +all so called "developed" nations. And yes, the worst offender of them all +is my souther neighbour, the United States of America. + + Unknown to them, the people of these countries live under a conspiracy, a +conspiracy of politicans searching for power. A conspiracy of businessmen +grabbing out of the working man's pocket. And a conspiracy to keep an empire +-- built by the power of nuclear weapons and multinational corporations -- +in the hands of the United States and it's capitalist allies. + + You may laugh at me, and deny these facts. Yet by doing so, you are only +proving the extent that nationalist, greed driven propaganda has had on you. + + In former U.S. President Eisenhower's memoirs, he wrote : + + "My feeling was then, and still remains, that it would be + impossible for the U.S. to maintain the military commitments + which it now sustains around the world did we not possess + atomic weapons and the will to use them when necessary." + + What this amounts to is a large American controlled empire. An empire +controlled by business interests and military power. These commitements +that President Eisenhower spoke are not other NATO countries or allies, +they are COLONIES, colonies that dare not rebel against the iron hand of +Uncle Sam. The U.S. has more than 25 of these "commitments". Commitments +in which the government openly uses torture, capital punishment, propaganda, +and mass executions to control there people and remain in power. One of +these "colonies" was Iraq. + + Yes, Iraq. The U.S. supported Iraq for many years, and the only reason for +doing so was it's own business commitments. Iraq shakes off U.S. chains and +attacks a U.S. PUPPET MONARCHY (don't give me this bullshit about "restoring +freeom to Kuwait")? Threaten to "kick butt" (George Bush). + + Where does the U.S. get off going against Iraq for something they have done +so many times in the last twenty years? Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iran/Iraq War, +and Panama. What is the difference. All made some attempt to shake off +colonialist shackles, and all ended up fighting a war against a country twice +their size and power. + + "So what?", you say, "Those people live thousands of miles away, why should +I care?". + + The reason you should care is that it is beginning to happen in the +developed world as well. ESS, government crackdowns on phreaks, hacks, +cracks, and anarchists, a large tendency towards nationalism all across +North America, sinking economys, growing deficits, sickening culture, +biased media, lies from politicians, loss of individual pride, racism, +commercialization of music, art, and drama, and a general ignorance +among the populations. + + This is the festering wound in North American culture, and it is also the +beginning of an unhealthy trend towards a cosmetic, controlled, yet efficient, +world. + + Read the letter section of your newspaper sometime.

An Adventure In Exploring a School.. - +- - +-------------------------------------------------------------------- - +- Written and experienced by Beryilium of the Dark Council - +- - +------------------------------------------------------------------- + +All this hacking shit began when I owned one of those nice big, +powerfull 1 MHz C64's in about '86.. I was into hacking games and was +given hints and tips from one of the better hackers up here in Edmonton +(Yes, we had them way the hell up here in the Country of the Ice Age..) +Anyways, I hacked a couple games and made a couple title screens, got into +assemble language then and made Basic programs unlistable unless you did a few +poked here and there first... But when I got my Amiga, all that +basically changed. I still wanted to hack shit and do what I like doin but +I was limited - I was new to this lump 'o power.. But this doesn't really +have much to do with this article yet.. + +CORVUS: + +Grade 8 was about my first (not to mention first successfull) attempt at +hacking into a computer system. And since then, I found myself a new school +hobby. What I hacked into way the hell back then was a system +called Corvus. It is a network that hooks up all the Cripple //e's (Apple +//e's) and Cripple compatibles (Laser 128's) that we had all together so +we wouldn't need disks. Well, hacking into this system didn't take much +brains what-so-ever.. Since I was framiliar with assembler I knew what one can +do. The Cripple //e's were shit for this because when you list out +memory on those paperweights they won't give you text, just the desembled +code. I needed to see what the hell was in memory to figure out this network.. + +Laser 128's are (Im my oppinion) total worthless peices of shit, like most +compatibles are.. But that were good for one thing. Displaying text along +with a disassembled code in the Cripple Monitor. This was my theory on how +to get into the system.. + + If I could get the teacher to logon to show me how to do something or +something he made that is in HIS area, that I couldn't access, then I +would be set. So, being the anal pumper he is, he went on the system as him, +and just as I predicted he had to help some other jerk off who couldn't +comprehend why you have to type RUN and not GO to make a program work. +Anyways, he left his terminal, and I jumped on and entered the monitor. I +searched the entire memory of the system untill I found out his logon name. +It came up about 5 mins later (Cripples are so fucking SLOW!) +and just about 1 K later, came up a nice word called "Antonspc". I had to +assume it was the password, eventhough there were other words like random +characters here and there so I just copied a bunch of that shit down and +rebooted the system for him, went back to my nice terminal and booted the +system up. I entered his name, and a couple of the passowrds.. Nothing.. +Piss me off.. Then I entered that "Antonspc" and vola! I was in the system +maintence area and I had control of the whole system. + +Since this guy (The computer teacher) doesn't think that anyone is capable of +shit like this, he didn't think about checking our areas for added sections.. +and I must say that had access to everything in my own area.. Oh well.. + +JANET: (Just Another NETwork) (c) University of (heh) WaTeRlOo.. + + +Ahh, yes. This system (Especially for the Edmonton Area in most +High Schools) should be quite framilar with. Not like the cheap Cripple +setup, this was on real - true to life - Cast Iron IBM Pc's. These were +the actual thing. You could pick up the steel keyboard, accidently (Of +course!) drop it onto the desk and watch a crack develop as well as +totally freaking out the teacher thinking that you are abusing the +equipment (Nahhhhhh...!). And unlike the Corvus system, it was a bit more +complicated and sofisticated. No assembler was gonna help me with this +one. But I have my ways.. :) + +I got my first taste of Janet in Grade 10. To me, I was a bit amazed, but most +of us are when you can finally use a real computer and quite pissing around +on Cripples. I wasn't really "on" the system then, I was in Computer 10 +Programming, and unlike now, it was on fucking Cripple //gs's. I didn't mind +these THAT much, although they could never beat what my Amiga could do, but +that again is a different story. I had a modem (1200 Baud) back then when +1200 baud was the in baud rate and I was currious +if the school had a modem.. Of course being the nice little boy they THOUGHT +I was, the computer teacher told me that there was, and it was in the IBM +lab, and that I need SpEcIaL permission to go down there and use that +"intricate" system of metal. Anyways, I got it and soon enough I was on the +system and making attempts (Successfull ones though) of hacking into the +system. + +Seriously, I couldn't believe how STUPID the teacher thought I +was! Or how STUPID -SHE- was! I was using this cheap peice of shit program +called "Enable" for my telecom use. Wwll, for the first couple days I was +happy enough about being able to use the modem.. But as time goes by as it +usually does, I got bored as hell with that shit and decided to hack into +the system. I found a nice "Exit to DOS" command which every program +hopefully has, and I was on my way.. I was out exploring the system and this +is what I found out: + + - You have 6 drives, labeled A: B: C: D: E: F: + + - There were funny commands that I have never seen on an IBM before like: + + - Access + - PSWD + - Detach + - KillPrt + + - MAJOR .BAT files containing these nice new commands. + + - Ran in sections called "Minidisks" + + - Resetting the computer, printing, and loggin in and out are RECORDED. + + - Teachers freak out when they see you in dos because they don't know how to +do it themselves. + +I turned around just in time to see a really fucked up beyond belief face +and a screaming voice : "How did you get in there?! What areyou doing?! Get +out of there!!!" shreiked the Comp Teach, "Don't ever do +this again or your outta here!" + +And of course my thoughts were "Fuck you, lose another vibrator up +in the dark abyss? Fuck off before you get the 'ol stainless steel +keyboard across the face!" But I knew I couldn't say such things like that +becasue I have to play brown nose to the teacher so she will fall +helplessly into my clutches (Not that I wanted to touch that afro bitch).. +"Well, I pressed CTRL-C, and I ended up here. I don't know how to get out. +I was trying to log on and..." + +"Ok, ok, just type LOGOFF." (Idiot!) + +"K.." So I did, and I was back into the logon screen. Heh.. I think I +had her fooled.. Untill one day when I broke into a teachers file. I take it +you wanna know how I did this too. Well, Fine... I dunno about computer +teachers in this school, but they seem to leave the room very often, giving +me a nice oppertunity to play "Search for Passwords in her desk", which I +did. I found some and I felt the need.. Untill one unfortunate day I was +printing something out in a teachers minidisk and I left the monitor on and +was across the room. (Yup, you guessed it, she was out of the room). Anyways, + she just happens to walk in and over to my computer and see a nice directory +with the heqading of the minidisk I was in (You have to watch out for these). +Well, she had a total cow, and kicked me out of the lab for the rest of the +year.. HAHA, but what will THAT solve?! For I have gotten what I wanted! +(There are nice things that don't beloing to you in certain placed of which +you are not allowed but must go into to make these things yours.. Like Well.. +Printer paper, ribbons, power adapters, extension cords, etc..) But we will +leave these out since they SHOULD come by common sense to take stuff that is +in a school that doesn't belong to you - and make it belong to you. + +Grade 11 - Computers 20 Programming. Awww, and it just happens +that in this course it's 5 credz (Semestered) and I have lots of nice +pretty time to play "Operation Janetkill". Well, I got my ID and my +classmates got theirs, which I just happened to copy down for future +reference.. and time went by as I explored the system in more depth +finding lots of nice things out like repeated passwords. I have found that +almost everyteacher likes to have some of the passwords the same so +he/she/it won't have to remember a whole mess of them. Some of the ones I +found were R, W, GVECR, GVECW, WUGGIER, WIGGIEW.. I tried accessing other +minidisks with these same passwords and I got access to them, read some more +BAT files, found more minidisks and passwords, and continued like that for a +while. + +Grade 12 - This (I don't know WHY) didn't occur till Grade 12.. I had +access to almost EVERYTHING, including the system Maitenence disk, which +will let you edit ANYTHING in EVERY Minidisk (Even Create or Delete +them). But what I never thought about before was these big fuckin minidisks +called HDISKC and HDISKD. They were about 31Megs each. Well, +knowing me now, I had to explore them thouraly this year. One of them +(HDISKD I think) Just had 1 Meg Sysfiles on it, which is acutally the +whole system, compacted into one little file (Sector Editor helped me). +HDISKC was great. It had everything! Nortons, More Terms, and Janit.Dir. +What the hell is that?! Oh, only an every Disk Accessed updated file of +EVERY minidisk and read/write password, storage space, and other shit. Not +much at all.. :) I do believe I hit the jackpot there. + +I made a basic program to read all the garbage and print it to the +screen nicely.. The first prg I made kinda looked like this: + +10 CLS:? +20 open "R",1,"F:Janet.Dir",36 +30 Field 1, 8 as N$, 8 as R$, 8 as W$, 12 as G$ +40 For T=1 to 999 +50 Get #1:?N$,R$,W$ +60 Next +70 Close 1 + + +N$ is the name of the minidisk, R$ is the read password, W$ is the +write passowrd, and G$ is a bunck of garbage that is just long integer #'s +for shit that isn't important. I modified this thing to actually look +good, and to end printing this shit out when it reached the end of the +minidisks. I put 999 just incase there were that many, and shit, it came +damn close.. Over 900.. What this thing will do is basically read that +garbaged up file and print a neat list to the screen of Name, and R/W +passwords. Works great. and it's MAJOR accurate. I changed my password, +and I ren that prg, searched for my minidisk, and it had my new password +up for it. So you can get into ANYONES minidisk now.. No one is safe from +your wrath.. :) + +There is one other thing that you might want to hac into. It's called +JAM. This prg is on a board that I saw, so you can call there and +d-load it if you haven't hacked into Sysadmin yet. Be carefull! I tried to +run this prg last year and it asked for a password, I entered one, and it +was worng, and it printed that to the main screen for everyone (Including +the teacher) to see.. So fuckin watchout! This system probably has a +couple booby traps! + +-------------------------------------------------------------------Article #3 +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= +-=- Explosives, What works and what doesn't =-= +-=- by Neon =-= +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= + + + +Well hello everyone and welcome to the first in a series of reviews +about explosives and what happens. This is not a how-to file so if your +reading this, you should or have tried some of the stuff I will discuss later +to relate to this. Have fun and trust me on some of these. I have a big cut +from an explosive that didn't quite do what I wanted it to, so I know (hah) +what I am talking about. + + +First of all the Nitric acid and resin mix. This is supposed to create +a small explosion. However, in the ratio that was suggested, but a small flame +popped up. This is a big dissapointment. Stay away from this. Barium Nitrate +and Magnesium makes an awesome explosion that burned small iron plate to shit. +Very good I recommend this one. + + +There is a file that says that Ammonium Nitrate is a "very unstable and +highly explosive compound", this is bullshit. Only in immense quantities is it +explosive..and then you need a high burning point to set it off, usually +sulfur mix'll do it, but not very efficient. + + +If you want results, I recommend the Sulfur, potassium nitrate and +sugar mix. Remember when I said I cut my hand all to hell?, well this is what +did it. Very, very high boiling point and specific heat capacity is created +when this is mixed, around 1300 degrees Celsius. Awesome. We tried this is a +metal container with a piece of rocket engine explosive in it, and it created +a 25-30 foot radius blast..I was very impressed. + + +The Nitroglycerin formulas you see laying around are not worth the +trouble of making them, as you will probably blow yer head off when mixing +it, because it is extremely unstable. Try the Plastique mixture..this works. + + +As for fuses and shit...when you are making the potassium nitrate and +water/coffee filter fuse, let it dry for about 8-9 hours untill it becomes +semi-brittle. Then it will be good for use. The capacitor-battery fuse is +also good to use but requires a bit more precision. The timer fuse is good +too..if you get the right kind of watch. I have friends who have given me +shit watches to use and they suck for it..use a timex. + + +Oh yeah, when making flash powder, I find when you use less aluminum +and more strontium nitrate, that you get better results. + + +The Molotov Cocktail files that are circulating are good too, very workable +shit. Some of the stuff is garbage and not worth the d/load time so be +careful what you get. + +------------------------------------------------------------------- +Well, you may not like what you have just read, but that is tough.

introduce useful +------------- phreaking techniques. These techniques have been developed +by the Third Cartel and have proved to be convenient and reliable. + + +Field Phreaking Kit: +==================== + +The Field Phreaking Kit is a neccessity for the serious phreaker. Some +so-called phreaks get all of their information including codes from BBS's +and have an ego big enough to call themselves phreaks. The real phreak +acquires knowledge on his own through perseverence and ingenuity. +Following is a list of useful items for your Phreaking Kit: + +o Backpack: Get a nice one to hold all of your materials. +o Test Phone: Very Handy. We'll tell you how to get one or make one. +o Ratchet Set: Usually, you'll only need 7/16" and 3/8" size ratchets. +o Screwdrivers: Get medium and large screwdrivers, and a phillips head. +o Wire Cutters: Just in case you want to wipe out some lines. +o Pliers: For misc. stuff. +o Xacto or Pocket Knife: To strip or cut wires. +o Penlight: Nice and small; very useful for night work. +o Flashlight: If you need lots of light and have enough room in your pack. +o Gloves: Make sure you don't get shocked or leave your fingerprints around. +o Pencil and Paper: Write down locations, notes, numbers, etc. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + The Third Cartel carries the following optional materials in their Field Kit: +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +o Walki-Talkies: For communications when yelling isn't possible or smart. +o Battery Operated Camara Flash: Good for flashing in someone's eyes at night + Will blind a telco guy for a few seconds. +o Mace/Dog Repellant: Spray in someone's eyes if they give you trouble. +o Smoke Bomb: Helpful to divert attention or scare. [drop in telco car] + [Mix 3 parts potassium nitrate with 2 parts sugar and melt] +o Matches: For smoke bomb or anything that is flammable. +o Bandana/Surgical Mask: Manholes are dusty; Wear these for easier breathing. +o Marker: Mark your "territory" on phone boxes. +o Fake Telco ID Card: Will make some people think that you work for telco. + +Organize your kit so you know where everything is and can get something quickly +when needed. You don't want to be fumbling for your mace when the gestapo is +about to get you. + + +Test Phone: +=========== + +The Test Phone is the most useful piece of equipment for Field Phreaking. You +can try to sneak into a telco Plant Department [truckyard] and get a real test +phone out of a truck like we did. If you'd rather not do this, don't worry; +making your own test phone is ultra-easy. + +First, get a telephone for your own purposes. Find the wire coming out of the +phone that is supposed to go to the wall's modular jack. It should be at least +three feet long for convienience. Cut off the modular jack at the end of the +wire. Strip the wire, and there should be two or four small wires inside. +Hook the two middle wires to alligator clips [preferably insulated]. You now +have a test phone! Very easy, indeed. Now let's see if you hooked everything +up ok. First find your phone box. It'll probably be on the outside of your +house. It's farly small, and you might need the ratchet to open it up. Once +you get it open, you should see some screws. These are the terminals for your +phone line. Hook the alligator clips to the two top terminals. If your phone +is ok, you should get a dial tone. Once you know that your phone is working, +a whole new world opens up to you! You can hook the phone up to your +neighbor's terminal and call long distance or yell at the operator on their +line. Be careful, though. You don't want to be talking to Sue in L.A. when +your neighbors are home and awake. If they pick up the phone when you're +already on, you could get into serious trouble. Of course, you could always +listen in on them! If you want, you can hook wires up to your neighbor's +terminal and lead them to your house. In case you didn't know, this is called +Beige Boxing. You can then hack computers on their line, call Dial-A-Prayer, +etc. Make sure to hide the wire well so that it won't be traced to your +house! + + +Manholes: +========= + +One way to get access to an abundance of phone lines is by getting into telco +manholes. You don't want to accidentally get in a sewer manhole, so the first +thing to do is find the differences between sewer and telephone manholes. If +you have trouble with this, here's a few tips that might help: + +o Telco manhole covers are usually larger and heavier than other covers. +o Telco manholes are scarce compared to sewer manholes. So if there are + a lot of checkered manhole covers in your area, those are probably sewer + manholes. If there are only a handful of unmarked manhole covers in + your area, those probably contain phone lines. +o Go to your local telco Central Office [CO] and find out what the manhole + covers look like there. Find manhole covers that look the same in other + areas, and pick a convenient/safe manhole to explore. + +Getting into a manhole is a different story. Here in the Denver area, it takes +at least three people to get a manhole cover off. Hopefully it'll be easier +to do in your area. To open the manhole, you'll probably need at least two +crowbars [You could try using a pickaxe]. Get a group together to open the +manhole, using 2 or more people with crowbars to slide the cover off. You +might want to get a strong guy to push the manhole cover while the other people +with crowbars support it. If you know of a tool that was made specifically +for opening manholes, we'd appreciate it if you contacted us on some local +Denver boards and told us about it. Likewise, if you have a better system for +opening manholes, we'd be grateful for the information. + +Once you get the manhole cover off, shine a flahlight down to see if there's +a ladder going to the bottom. Try a different manhole if there's no ladder. +If you want to go down a manhole, don't forget to wear a bandana or surgical +mask over your mouth so that you don't choke on dust. Also bring a flashlight +so you can see what you're doing. Many times, there'll be a few inches of +water at the bottom, so you might also want to wear boots. + +Down in the manhole, you might find some equipment or manuals. Go ahead and +take them if you want; you deserve it! There should be some very large ABS +plastic tubes going across the "room" you're in. The phone lines are inside +these tubes. Attached to this tubing there will be some short, wide plastic +cylinders. There'll be screws holding these cylinders on to the tubing. +You'll need either a screwdriver or a ratchet to open a cylinder. If you +happen to get a cylinder open, congratulations! You now have access to +countless phone lines! We'll leave it to you to figure out what to do with all +of those wires. Surely you'll figure something out! [snip, snip!] + + +Exploring Telco Building Sites: +=============================== + +One of the best ways to get information about telco is by going to a Central +Office near you, exploring the trucks in a Plant Department, or "visiting" +other telco buildings. The phone company is careless in many ways. They +leave important, yet unshredded documents and computer printouts in their +open dumpsters. Their cars, vans, and repair vehicles are almost always left +unlocked. Inside their vehicles one can usually find manuals, test phones, +computer cards [usually for mainframes, almost never for personal comuters], +nice tool sets, etc.! It's almost as if they *want* to be ripped off! They +deserve bad treatment just for their negligence. If possible, we like to be +courteous to individual employees of telco. Most employees are fairly amiable +and don't deserve trouble. It's the beuracracy of telco that deserves to be +manhandled. Cheap practices such as monopolizing and the overpricing of +services is the general reason why we phreaks do what we do with such +determination. On with the show. + +Exploring Dumpsters: Looking inside telco dumpters is probably the easiest +way to acquire useful information. Typycally, dumpters will be found outside +a Central Office. They are usually left open for the world to see. It's a +good idea to check a dumpster near you every day or two. You want to get your +printouts and such before they go to the garbage dump. Make sure that you +aren't pulling stuff out of the dumpster when the employees get out for the +day! If possible, check the dumpster after closing hours just to be safe. But +it's usually ok to get stuff out of it during working hours. You should find a +lot of useful information, including computer numbers, if you consistently +check the dumpsters. + +Exploring Plant Departments: Plant Department is just a strange name telco +made for a truckyard. You might need your 'ol wire cutters for this job. +Plan to stay up late for this mission, too. Around here, at least, the Plant +Department doesn't close until 11:30 to 11:45 p.m. If your local Plant +Department isn't bound by barbed-wire fences, you're lucky. If, unfortunately, +it's like ours, you'll have to find a way to get in. First, try to find breaks +in the fence where you might be able to slip through. If this isn't possible, +and you can't climb over the fence because there's barbed-wire at the top, get +out the [gasp!] wire cutters. Cut the barbed-wire and climb over the fence. +Quietly move around the truck yard, opening various trucks, taking whatever you +want. Although it might be hard, try to control yourself. Only take one item +per truck so that the fools don't get suspicious. You don't ever want them to +get suspicious, or you'll never be able to go back without fearing that they +might be watching the truckyard for intruders. Just take a testphone and a few +handy manuals. The testphone is usually in the back behind the passenger's +seat. Manuals should be in the glove compartment or between the two front +seats. The rest of the gadgets in the trucks have little or no practical uses +for phreaks. Too bad. Be cool and don't take anything you don't need. +Correction: Don't take anything you don't *really* want. Have phun with this, +and please let us know if you find any useful gadgets in a telco truck. We'd +like to hear from you! Look for a Field Phreaking II file soon.

These techniques have been developed +by the Third Cartel and have proved to be convenient and reliable. This +manuscript is a continuation of Manuscript II: Field Phreaking. + + +Pay Phone Hacking: +================== + +The safest way to get phreaking codes is by hacking them on a pay phone. The +chances of getting caught are extremely remote, especially if you switch pay +phones every few minutes. One problem with hacking codes is that when you find +a code by dialing it randomly, you often forget what code you dialed. To +prevent this, we print out a sheet filled with 6-8 digit random codes on the +computer. Then we start testing each of these codes off of a 950 number. This +works great, especially since 950's are not charged! Cross off each code on +the paper that doesn't work, and mark the ones that do work. This technique +takes a lot of patience, but it's worth it if you have a terrible short-term +memory. + + +Telco Boxes: +============ + +This is our prime focus in Manuscript III. Every field phreaker worth his +weight in dung should at least know the basics about phone boxes. There are so +many different types that we can only cover the major groups. But once you +learn about a few boxes, it'll be easy to learn about others. Be sure to +bring a test phone with you [see Manuscript II] so you can connect up to phone +lines. + +Small Boxes: Small telephone boxes typically contain 1 to 20 different phone +------------ lines. They are usually in convenient and safe locations. They +are easy to open, and can be closed quickly. + +Home Boxes: Unless you live in an apartment complex, your home box should be +very easy to locate. It is small box located on the side of your house; +usually a foot or two off the ground. Many times it will be beige colored +and may require a ratchet [Usually 3/8"] to open. If you have more than one +line in your house, your box will probably be fairly large and light gray. +You'll need a ratchet and a screwdriver to open a two-line box. In the +one-line box there will be five terminals or screws. The top two screws should +have red and green wires leading to them. If you connect your test phone clips +to these screws, you'll be on the line. Usually, the two screws below contain +the same phone line. The very bottom screw, in the middle, is the ground. In +the two-line boxes, you should be able to figure out how to hook up to the +lines rather easily. They even have a modular plug jack that you can plug a +normal phone into. There are also several terminals that you can hook the +clips up to. + +Aluminum Multi-Line Boxes: These boxes are usually found behind business +buildings and shopping centers. Some condominium complexes also have these +boxes hooked up to walls on a few units. Each box contains five or more phone +lines. The boxes are rectangular and made of aluminum, are very easy to open +and close, and often say "Western Electric" on the front. Once you get the box +open, you will see several pairs of terminals grouped diagonally. Simply +attach your phone clips to a correct pair, and you'll be on a phone line. Run +an ANI on the phone line to find its number. If your phone happens to be +polarity sensitive, and you get no dial tone when hooked up to terminals, +reverse the alligator clips and you'll be on the line. + +Small Distribution Boxes: These boxes, usually either light green, or a very +dark green, are not very common, and can be found behind shopping centers, +houses, and other buildings. You'll probably need the ratchet to open it, +and a knife to strip some wires. The top of the box pulls off if you loosen +the screws enough. Inside, there will be several wires. Two different sizes +of wires are found in distribution boxes. The larger wires lead to nearby +buildings. The smaller wires lead to another distribution box where they are +spliced into larger wires and sent to buildings. These boxes take the most +time to use because they have no terminals and you have to find the correct +wire pairs. It's easiest to find the large wire pairs, so start out with +those. Once you find a phone line, you might want to tape together or label +the wire pair for future reference. Use the same procedure for the smaller +wires. If you find a good box, and are willing to take the time, these boxes +can be very worthwhile! + +Medium Boxes: Medium boxes carry more lines than small boxes but are usually +------------- found in somewhat risky locations. Most of them require a +ratchet for access, and they usually open on a hinged door. + +Medium Distribution Boxes: These are identical to the small distribution +boxes, but carry far more phone lines. Many times, after taking off the cover, +there will be a flat access plate you can open with a ratchet. Use the same +procedure for this box as outlined in the small distribution box description. + +Flat Peg Boxes: Flat Peg boxes are frequently found behind grocery stores, +shopettes, and other businesses. Sometimes they can be found in an office +phone room or in the back halls of shopping malls. They are typically big, +square boxes mounted to a wall and are opened by a handle on a hinged door. +Sometimes, they are mounted away from a building. We've seen some that are +double sided and require a ratchet to open. Inside, the terminals will be +grouped in approx. 10 X 3 inch columns. The terminals are long flat pegs. +There are four terminals per row. It is sometimes difficult to hook up to a +line since the terminals are so close together, but you'll get the hang of +it after a few tries. + +Large Boxes: These boxes sometimes contain hundreds of phone lines. They are +------------ found along busy streets and in business areas or apartment +complexes. You'll need a ratchet to open one. + +Wire Box: The wire box is about three feet tall and has two doors opened by +one latch. The wires lead into long, plastic, rectangular grouping stations. +There should be a tool attached by two screws to the side of a door. Connect +your phone clips to these screws. Now connect the tool to a plastic grouping +station. If you connect the tool correctly, you will be on a line. There are +several different lines contained in a single grouping station. + +Terminal Boxes: In our opinion, the terminal box is the king of boxes. A +single box may contain up to eight hundred lines. You can't miss these boxes +because of their size. They stand at least four feet tall and have the +characteristic light green color of most boxes. After opening a box, you will +see many red and white numbered terminals pairs on each side. On the inside of +each door, there are two screws to connect your test phone to. Leading out +from the screws is a double current alligator clip that can easily connect to +any pair of terminals. This easy connection tool makes this the most +convenient box to use, and the most profitable. + +Helpful Tips: Now that you know how most major boxes work, you will be able to +------------- figure out how other boxes work. By now we're sure you have +thought of some interesting things to do with boxes. Here are some tips you +might find helpful. + +The Perfect Box: The most tedious step in field phreaking is finding "The +Perfect Box." This box should be located away from streets and hidden from the +view of homes. When working on this box, there should be no worry of being +caught or observed. Finding this box might take quite a while, but don't give +up hope; it's well worth the time and effort. Try looking around waterways +such as creeks, lakes, and ditches. If you have easy access to wilderness +areas, such as the mountains, try looking for Perfect Boxes around there. + +Beige Boxing: We're not sure exactly who invented the beige box, but it can be +extremely useful for surveillance and blackmail purposes. The only materials +you need for a beige box are two wires and your test phone. Connect the wires +to the ring and tip of the line you want to tap. Make sure your wires are +hidden, and lead them to your house or other location. You then can connect +your phone to the wires and listen in on conversations or use their phone line +however you want. Make sure that you don't use a boxed line when the victim +is likely to pick up his phone and hear you. + +Safety Tips: + +o Well, first of all, be extremely careful when choosing a box to work on. + Two of us got arrested for using the wrong box at the wrong time. Make + sure that nobody will see you when you're working on it, because you're + putting your record at risk. Of course, if you're under 18, you don't have + to worry quite as much, but going to court is not K-Rad. + +o Try wearing gloves when working on phone lines. You don't want to get + shocked or leave fingerprints around. + +o If you ever open a box that has huge cables in it, it's probably a power + box. The power box is usually dark green and stands a few feet in height. + Don't even think of messing with one unless you want to risk having a + painful death. If you absolutely *must* disconnect someone's power, then + use *EXTREME* caution when disconnecting the cable. Wear heavy duty gloves, + make sure that you aren't wet, and don't use metal tools. + +o Always look for your boxes at day, and work on them at night. + +o Have a getaway car or bike ready in case of an emergency. + +o If anyone catches you, act cool and calm. You don't want to say "uh, well, + umm...well I was just uh...," because that makes you look suspicious. + *Always* have a story ready *before* you start opening boxes! This has + saved us a couple of times. + +o You might want to incorporate your fake I.D. card into the scheme so people + think that you work for the phone company. Remember, this won't work on + telco employees. Only attempt to fool average citizens. If they call the + cops or telco, take off. + + This concludes Manuscript III. We described most of the major phone boxes +so that you'll be able to figure out how other boxes work. If you find a major +box that should also be in this Manuscript, drop one of us a note on a board +and tell us about it. Likewise, we're open to any comments, criticisms, and +suggestions. + We'll put the layout for our fake I.D. card in Manuscript IV, since some +users wanted to know how we made one.

The device uses a single chip to decode 12 or all 16 of +the DTMF tones (1-9, A-D). Up to 16 tones can be stored in the +circuits static RAM memory. They can be reviewed by reading them +out one by one on the LED display. The DTMF decoder can be +hooked up directly to a telephone, scanner, or a tape recorder. +The 16 tones that this circuit decodes are as follows: + + 1 = 697 + 1209hz + 2 = 697 + 1336hz + 3 = 697 + 1477hz + 4 = 770 + 1209hz + 5 = 770 + 1336hz + 6 = 770 + 1477hz + 7 = 852 + 1209hz + 8 = 852 + 1336hz + 9 = 852 + 1477hz + 0 = 941 + 1336hz + * = 941 + 1209hz + # = 941 + 1477hz + A = 697 + 1633hz + B = 770 + 1633hz + C = 852 + 1633hz + D = 941 + 1633hz + + To build this circuit, you will need quite a bit of +electronics knowledge. If you have never built anything +involving electronics before, don't try this project, because it +is way to difficult. A .GIF should be included in this file, +showing the schematic of the circuit. If it is not included with +this, look at the end of the text on where to get it. In order +to make the decoder, the .GIF is essential. + + + Applications/Uses + + +The tone decoder can be used for many things. Basically, +anytime you hear a DTMF tone, and want to know what +it is, just hook up the decoder. When it is hooked up +to a phone line, any tones sent over the line can be decoded +in a split second. It is great for services like credit card +verification, voice mail systems, answering machines, COCOTS, +etc. DTMF signalling is so widespread, there is no doubt that you +will discover many useful applications with the decoder. + + Theory of Operation + + + The DTMF decoder operates as follows: DTMF signals are +coupled to pin 9 of IC1, the DTMF decoder chip, by .01uf +capacitor C1. ED (pin 6 of IC1) goes high within 20 milliseconds +of DTMF input detection. This signal increments the counter, +IC4, via the Schmitt NAND, IC3. Then, DV (pin 14 of IC1) goes +high within 46 milliseconds of tone reception. This signal +causes the R/W input of the RAM to go low. Within 50 milliseconds +after the tone ends, DV goes low, writing the data into the first +address of the RAM. 4.56 milliseconds after DV goes low, the +outputs D1, D2, D4, D8 of the decoder clear. The digit received +is displayed on LED1 until the next digit is read. This sequence +will contine until all 16 memory locations contain data. At this +time, the counter recycles and data will be written over what was +previously stored. + + To read out the contents of memory, S3 is opened, causing +pins 1 and 2 of the counter to go high. This resets the counter, +so the RAM will be at address 00. The data in address 00 of the +RAM is presented to IC5, the BCD to 7-segment decoder/driver. +IC5 converts the RAM output data to a digit which is displayed on +LED1. When S2 is momentarily closed, a high pulse is presented +to pin 14 of the counter by way of the NAND. This increments the +counter, which presents the first address to the RAM, and the +first digit is displayed. S2 is repeatedly pressed until all the +contents of memory have been displayed. + + + Parts List + + + C1 - .01uf capacitor + C2 - 2.2uf electrolytic capacitor + C3, C4 - .1uf capacitor + S1, S4 - SPST switch + S2 - Momentary, normally open + S3 - Momentary, normally closed + D1 - 1N914 general purpose diode + IC1 - UM9203, DTMF Decoder chip + IC2 - 5101, 256 x 4 SRAM + IC3 - 4093, quad Schmitt NAND + IC4 - 74C93, ripple counter + IC5 - 74C48, BCD to 7-segment + IC6 - 78L05, 5 volt regulator + R1, R3 - 4.7K ohm 1/8 watt resistor + R2 - 1M ohm 1/8 watt resistor + R4 - 1K ohm 1/8 watt resistor + LED1 - 7-segment, common cathode + X1 - 3.579Mhz colorburst crystal + + Misc. parts - 1/8" input jack, IC sockets, PC board, 9V +battery and clip, enclosure box, mounting hardware + + All the IC's except for IC1 are available from JDR +Microdevices, 2233 Branham Lane, San Jose, CA, 95124, +800/538-5000. Other components are available from Digi-Key, 701 +Brooks Ave. South, P.O. Box 677, Thief River Falls, MN, +56701-0677, 800/344-4539. If the components are not available +from the above places, check Radio Shack or your local +electronics store. + + + Circuit Construction + + + There are two different techniques you can use to contruct +the Renegade Legion DTMF decoder. Either wire-wrapping or using +a PC (printed circuit) board and soldering. Building a PC board +is the most ideal way to mount the project, because the circuit +involves many confusing and difficult areas. + + Assembly with the PC board is basically straightfoward. +Note that the switches, LED1, and the input jack are not mounted +on the board. These should be mounted on the enclosure box, if +you want. There are 6 jumpers that need to be installed on the +component side of the board. They are labelled "JU" on the +schematic. You can use excess component leads for these jumpers. +In addition, pads can be used so that pin 4 of IC1 can be +jumpered high or low for either 12 or 16 DTMF tone detection. +Also, note the polarity marking for C2, which is very important. +Crystal X1 should be mounted horizontally. You should use +sockets for all the DIP IC's. All other components are mounted +normally. + + Three things need to be done on the solder side of the +board. First, cut the trace running between pins 6 and 12 of +IC3. Next, use a small piece of wire or a leftover component +lead to solder a jumper between pins 5 and 6 of IC3. Also, diode +D1 needs to be installed on the solder side. Solder the diode +between pin 6 of IC1 and pin 6 of IC3. Make sure the leads of +the diode do not cause any shorts by enclosing the diode in +heat-shrink, electrical tape, or some other kind of insulant. + + Double checking your work at various stages along the way +will assure a functional device at power-up. Before you insert +the IC's into the sockets at the end of the project, check all +connections with a continuity meter. If the circuit does not +operate correctly, suspect your work before questioning the IC's +(See the section on Testing and Troubleshooting). + + This project uses CMOS IC's, which are static sensitive. +Optimally, you and your soldering iron should be grounded when +working with the IC's. If you don't have an antistatic mat or +workplace, don't worry about it. Just try not to touch the pins +of the IC's and store them in conductive foam or a piece of +aluminium foil when not in use. If you have to, touch a wall, +radiator, computer, dog, cat, or any grounded object to discharge +yourself before you get to work with the IC's. + + It is also important to ground the case of the 3.579Mhz +crystal. To do this, solder a wire from the case of the crystal +to a ground trace on the PC board or the ground side of a switch, +like S2 or S3. + + Depending on the specific characteristics of your LED +display, you may need to adjust the value of R4 for the proper +LED intensity. If your display is too dim, try a slightly lower +resistance value for R4. If your display is too bright, try a +slightly higher resistance value for R4. I chose a 1K ohm +resistor because it works fairly well. + + After you are done assembling the circuit, think about where +you are going to put the LED display, input jack, and switches on +your enclosure box. Assembly and disassembly will be easier if +all of these parts are attached to the same half of your box. + + + Testing and Troubleshooting + + + Having thoroughly checked all the connections of your +contructed unit, you are ready to power up the device. Current +with the display on should be about 75-85 milliAmps. Hit the +reset switch, S3, to reset the counter. Connect the device to a +source of DTMF tones, such as a phone line. Pick up the phone +and hit some keys. The number of the tone you entered should be +on the display until another tone is entered. Hit the reset +switch again and then hit the sequence switch, S2. You should +see the first tone you entered. Hit the sequence switch again, +and you should see the subsequent tones you entered. + + If at any time you sense something is wrong, turn the power +off to protect the IC's. Check to see if the IC's are hot. If +things aren't working the way they should be, check out the +following: Pins 6 and 14 of the decoder IC, IC1, should be in a +high logic state for the duration of the tone. Pin 20 of the +RAM, IC2, should be low for the duration of the tone. Pin 14 of +the counter, IC4, should be low for the duration of the tone. + + If the device appears to be decoding tones properly but does +not store them in memory, the decoder IC may be hung up. Check +pin 14 (DV) of the decoder IC to make sure it is normally low, +and high for the duration of a tone. If DV is always high, the +decoder IC is hung up. To solve this problem, ground the case of +the crystal as mentioned earlier in this text. If the problem +persists, connect a 5 pF capacitor from pin 11 of the decoder IC +(XOUT) to ground. + + + Using Your Decoder + + + Using the decoder is not too hard, but there are a few +details about its operation that you need to observe. When you +first turn the unit on, be sure to hit the reset switch. This +ensures that the tones (or rather the data sent from the decoder +to the memory) will be stored in the first memory location. Then +just wait for some DTMF tones to come down the line. When they +do, the device will decode them and store them in memory. When +the tones have stopped, hit the reset switch, and then the +sequence switch. You will see a number on the display, which in +the number stored in the first memory location. Hit the sequence +switch and the numbers in the subsequent memory locations will be +read out. Once you have read out all the numbers, hit the reset +switch again. You are ready to start decoding all over again. +The numbers will be in the memory as long as the power is on and +new numbers haven't been written over the old ones. + + For detection of all 16 DTMF tones, pin 4 of the DTMF +decoder IC must be tied low. If detection of only the 12 common +tones (1-9) is needed, pin 4 should be tied high. The numbers 1 +to 9 will read out as numbers on the LED display. However 0, #, +*, A, B, C, D will read out with different unique patterns (see +the enclosed .GIF). + + There are a few other helpful hints that can make using the +decoder easier. First of all, turn the LED display off when you +are not reading out numbers. You only need the display when +you're reading out numbers, and switching it off will prolong +battery life. Also, while reading out the numbers, you might +want to remove the device from the phone line or whatever it is +hooked up to. If the decoder happens to receive a tone while +you're reading out the numbers in memory, the tone will be stored +in whatever memory location you happen to be at and generally +make things confusing. + + Although the DTMF decoder is intended to be powered by a 9V +battery, the 78L05 voltage regulator, IC6, can handle input +voltages from 7 to 30V DC. Other batteries or power supplies can +be used to power the decoder as long as they conform to the +voltage regulator's sprecifications. + + Remember that the decoder can only store 16 tones at one +time. If more than 16 tones are read by the decoder, the counter +resets the RAM to the first memory location and the excess tones +are read into memory, erasing the previous ones. This is a +problem sometimes, since information is lost. If you know you +will be decoding more than 16 tones at one time, just record them +onto a tape recorder, then play them back a few at a time into +the decoder. + + When using the decoder with a tape recorder, hook it up to +the earphone jack and adjust the volume so the decoder will read +the tones off the tape. When using the decoder with a scanner, +it is best to hook it up to the "tape out" jack if it has one. +If not, just hook it up to the earphone jack on the scanner. + + Be warned that if you are going to hook up the decoder to +the phone line for any extended period of time, circuitry must be +added (which is unavailable through me) to the input to protect +the device from the ringing voltage on the phone line. 90 volts +AC on the line will basically destroy the CMOS IC's. + + Later.. + +RL +- - diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/delhack.txt b/textfiles.com/phreak/delhack.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..5cf36017 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/delhack.txt @@ -0,0 +1,129 @@ + + + Deluxe Fone-Code Hacker + Documentation + + Congratulations, you now own the best Fone-Code Hacker + around. I have pulled ideas from several sources as well as + plenty of my own to devise this code scanner, most notably: + Peter King for the Carrier Detect variable formula, + Floppy Disk for part of the random selection sequence. + + This program is in general release as of 6/12/85, + versions prior to 4.0, were for friends etc for testing + purposes. As of version 4.1 there are no known bugs, however + should you find one, I would appreciate feedback so that I + can correct them. + + In the program itself, you will find 4 screens of help + and info, but this is to fill in the blanks that I had no + room to cover. + + Basically if you are confused about the three modes, here + is a quick rundown: + + SEQENTIAL will start at a code you define like 205100 and try + every code to the ending try that you define like 206700. + You can set it to try every code in that range or every other + or every 3rd etc. + + RANDOM will pick random numbers of the length that you + define, length of 5. or 6 or 8 etc. In this mode, you can + set the first digit to use. If you were to set the first + digit to 8 then all codes tried would start with 8 as in: + 801245,836501 or to 43 as in 436735,431072. If you set the + first digit to a 2 digit number as in 43 above, when asked + for the length of the code, it is still 6....the program will + recognize that you really are setting the first 2 digits. + + SYSTEMATIC is quite esoteric,yet helpful and is almost 2 scanners + in one. I have found it helpful quite often in scanning for a + group of numbers clustered "under" a specific first digit, or to + determine the actual code length. + + Scanning First Digit: Here, you set a number of tries and a first + digit range as in 100 tries on digits 2 - 7. What happens is that + the dialer will try 100 random tries as 2xxxxx, then 100 tries as + 3xxxxx and 100 tries as 4xxxxx etc...Note that the 100 tries + becomes 600 tries!!!! + Scanning for Code Length: In this fashion, you will set the code + length range to scan as in 4 - 7, which says that you want to scan + a set of 4, 5, 6 and 7 digit codes (as in 2386,45391,587420 and + 4756312 respectively). Next, the scanner will apply 50 or 100 or + whatever you specify as number of tries to each code length (100 4 + digit tries then 100 5 digit tries etc). Since the object is to + determine the actual code length, the scanning will terminate + after 3 codes are found (just enough to find and verify the + length). + + Note that since the number of tries is applied to EACH integer in + the range, the Code Length scanning would be prepared to actually + run 400 codes thru the Service Access Number. + + The program should run on any variety of modems as long + as they are 100% Hayes compatible as I utilize several AT + commands. The timer is quite accurate and the scanning + results are accurate. If you turn off the speaker, it remains + off until the end of the program, that is, if you break the + program, the Y/N modem speaker is not a toggle. This is + doubly true with internal, board level modems. On these, if + you break (Ctrl-C, Ctrl-Brk) the program, the modem speaker + will remain off until you send the modem a ATZ. Otherwise + the program will do this for you. + + The other thing is that if the screen gets filled with codes + (about 50), and they are cleared to make room for more, there is + no sequence to reprint them as yet. They are therefore lost + unless the disk save or printer is on. They ARE in memeory + (dimension of 250) but there is no recall to screen yet. You + should have such problems. + + The scanner could also be used to find 800 extenders by + keying 1800 as the access number, and setting the code length to + 7. You would have to listen for probable tones, but it could + be done. This would scan 1800xxxxxxx but could not record a + carrier since there is no target modem. + + By the by, the Sequential mode is great for testing. Set the + Access number, then set the first code to try as 1 before a known + code, and end 1 after the known code. Running a known code thru + it will show you the screen,LOF, printer display and/or Disk file + headers. + + Some helpful aspects of the dialer: 1) At the end of the + run, the clock will display the time that the the last code + was tried. This is neat if you let it run all by itself, you + can come back to determine how long a given number of codes + take. 2) You can set the dialer to stop after X number of + contacts. This is helpful if you really just want 5 codes + for the month, it will stop when it has that many rather than + dial the remaining tries that you had set. This can help + prevent having a Trouble Card dropped on you for making 4000 + 800 calls when the last 3000 were not really needed. + + ***************************************************************** + + I do not yet know the program requirements, but this was + written on: + + IBM-PC, 2 drives, 512k, DOS 2.0, BASICA + Hayes Modem, Touch tone dialing.

On this screen you will be asked if you + wish ÿto stop hacking after Code Thief finds a number of ÿvalid ÿcodes. + If you answer yes, ÿyou are prompted to enter the number of valid codes + to ÿstop after. ÿThen you are prompted as to weather Code Thief should + quit to DOS after finding this number of valid codes. If you have quit + to ÿDOS ÿfor both the TIME and the NUMBER OF CODES, ÿÿwhatever ÿhappens + first will cause Thief Deluxe to quit to DOS. + + Now you are asked the number of seconds to pause between attempts. + This ÿis ÿa ÿfeature ÿto throw off the long ÿdistance ÿcarrier's ÿhack- + detection ÿsoftware. ÿÿIf ÿyou have a lot of flagged extenders PLUS ÿa + delay ÿtime ÿbetween ÿattempts, ÿit greatly decreases the LD ÿcompany's + software ÿfrom ÿdetecting ÿhacking. ÿÿIt is best to ÿhack ÿduring ÿthe + DAYTIME, and a delay will help guarantee that a valid customer calls in + and uses their code so ÿthat ÿyour hacks will be more spread apart. ÿA + lot ÿof ÿflagged ÿextenders ÿalso ÿdecreases the possibility ÿof ÿbeing + detected even MORE. ÿFace it, ÿmore people are being busted every day. + Use ÿCode ÿThief ÿDeluxe with all of the ÿCode ÿThief ÿcapabilities ÿto + greatly ÿheighten your safety. ÿNote that if you hit RETURN for ÿdelay + time, ÿÿCode Thief Deluxe will not pause between attempts (also if ÿyou + hit "0" which is the same thing). + + When Code Thief is DELAYING, you will be shown the countdown. ÿIf + you wish to stop the delay and just go on to the next attempt, ÿhit the + [SPACEBAR]. ÿÿHitting ÿESCape during the countdown will ÿquit ÿhacking + mode. + + UPGRADES TO EDIT EXTENDER CONFIGURATIONS + + Now ÿaccepted in the code template is [#] and [*]. ÿThis ÿis ÿfor + hacking PBX's that need these. + + UPGRADES TO DELUXE EXCHANGE SCANNER + + The ÿCode ÿThief ÿDeluxe exchange scanner is a ÿmultiple ÿexchange + full-screen exchange scanner. ÿAlso, you can now scan the 1-800 ÿarea. + When ÿyou hit [F] from the main menu, ÿyou are taken into the ÿexchange + editor. ÿIf no exchanges exist, a ÿdummy first record will be created. + Hit ÿ[R] to Replace the first record and enter the exchange, ÿÿstarting + number and ending number of the exchange. ÿNow, ÿyou can add exchanges + by ÿhitting ÿ[A], ÿÿdelete exchanges by hitting [D], ÿflag ÿand ÿunflag + exchanges by hitting [+] and [-] respectively, ÿas well as use the left + and ÿright arrow keys on the numeric keypad to move around in the file. + Also ÿnote ÿthat ÿyou ÿcan ÿenter the ÿexchange ÿrecord ÿnumber ÿto ÿgo + automatically ÿto ÿthat ÿexchange record, ÿjust like ÿin ÿthe ÿextender + configuration section. ÿThe [SPACEBAR] toggles weather the exchange is + in the 1-800 area or not. + + If ÿyou ÿwish to not scan exchanges, ÿjust hit [Q] to quit to ÿthe + main menu. ÿBut to begin scanning exchanges, ÿjust hit [G] from ÿhere. + Note ÿthat ÿto scan, ÿÿat ÿleast one exchange must be flagged. ÿIf ÿno + exchanges are flagged Code Thief will tell you. You are also asked for + the modem timeout (in seconds). + + During scanning, ÿif the ending number for an exchange is reached, + Code Thief will stop scanning that exchange by unflagging it. When all + of ÿthe ÿflagged ÿexchanges ÿbecome unflagged, ÿCode ÿThief ÿwill ÿquit + exchange scanning. Of course you can also quit by hitting ESCape, ÿand + the ÿlast number dialed in all exchanges will be saved in your exchange + configurations. ÿÿThen all you have to do is hit [F] then [G] from the + main menu to pick up from where you left off. + + UPGRADES TO SET MODEM PARAMATERS/DEFAULTS;MODEM SPECIFICS + + Hang ÿup mode has been changed. ÿCode Thief now NEEDS to drop DTR + to hang up, so set your modem DIP switches accordingly. The option has + been ÿreplaced ÿby ÿLOCAL DIALING. ÿIf you ÿonly ÿhave ÿpulse ÿdialing + services ÿ(not touchtone) ÿthen set this option to PULSE. ÿÿOtherwise, + TONE ÿis the default. ÿOf course when Code Thief DOES connect ÿto ÿthe + extender, TONE will be used for the remainder of the hack. This should + go without saying. + + MODEM INPUT/OUTPUT WINDOWS + + All ÿI/O to the modem is now monitored. ÿAlso, ÿCode Thief Deluxe + should work with more modems. ÿDuring hacking or scanning you will see + the ÿI/O ÿwindows, ÿalong with a timer on the top of the screen. ÿÿThe + first ÿwindow is INPUT from the modem, ÿthe second window is OUTPUT ÿto + the modem. ÿCode Thief will now re-send commands if errors occur, ÿtry + commands ÿagain if they elicit no response, ÿrecover from ÿmodem ÿscrew + ups, ÿand generally be more well behaved. For instance, ATX4 ÿis right + as a user string for my COM3: ÿmodem, but creates an ERROR for my COM2: + modem. ÿIf I use a user string of ATX4 for my COM2: modem, ÿCode Thief + will recognize it and keep sending ATX4 ÿa ÿnumber of times to my COM2: + modem. Of course it keeps getting errors. ÿThen after about 5 retries + Code ÿThief ÿwill ÿabort ÿhacking. ÿÿNow ÿI ÿcan ÿlook ÿat ÿthe ÿmodem + configuration and say to myself: ÿAh! ÿI ÿneed to get rid of this user + string. ÿAlso note that when waiting for a carrier if no modem ÿresult + code ÿis ÿreceived in the time specified as TIMEOUT for ÿyour ÿextender + (can be edited using the extender editor) ÿCode Thief Deluxe will ÿknow + and move on. ÿCode Thief Deluxe uses your PC's clock to keep track ÿof + seconds that have elapsed. + + MULTIPLE TARGET CONVERSION UTILITIES / TYMFIX.COM + + Consult ÿÿCONVERT.DOC, ÿÿwhich ÿhas ÿbeen ÿupdated ÿand ÿÿincludes + information on TYMFIX.COM and its use.

The way here in the US is definitely +different, but no one seemed to respond. It just might be that many +US Digest readers don't yet understand. What follows is a short piece +I recently prepared for an editor, and I hope it answers both kinds of +parties: + + + THE END OF THE DIAL TONE MONOPOLY + By: Donald E. Kimberlin, Principal Consultant + Telecommunications Network Architects + Safety Harbor, FL + August 12, 1990 + +While many Americans have been trained to believe that "dial tone" is +the sacrosanct property of telephone companies, evidence is coming +clear to show that "dial tone" is not a "natural monopoly." Saying +this is certain to raise many hackles, but it is time we faced up to +it: The "natural monopoly" view of providing Public Switched Telephone +Network services on a local basis was valid in its 1913 context, when +the Bell interests struck a deal to end their pillage of Indpendent +telephone companies in the U.S. + +Technology and removal of the art of running a telephone network from +the status of "trade secret" has changed all that. It's occurred so +rapidly and in so many ways that few know of all the prongs now stuck +into what was once a nicely-closed pie. + +Even though it was published, few took note that in 1984, the +departing Chairman of the FCC said in a speech that since the +demonopolization of long distance service had been accomplished, the +time had come to work on breaking up the local telephone monopoly. +Nobody reported that speech, except the general press the following +day. It was obvious the Chairman had touched on a taboo of the +telephone business. + +Despite the fact that the FCC's Open Network Architecture mandate has +gone on and continues to move, nobody wants to face up to what it +really means: Detaching the dial tone of the local network from the +wires of the local telephone company, separating the two such that the +dial tone is put on somebody else's transmission channel, or +connecting the local telephone company's wire to somebody else's dial +tone. + +That's not any technological breakthrough. It's been possible for +decades. The single thing that made the dial tone and transmission +channel inseparable was the lack of "somebody else" being around to do +it with. + +Well, that's all changed, in more ways than one might think. Let's +run through a few of the possibilities that really could happen today + ... but for the desire of "somebody else" to take up the cudgel and +push the matter into full visibility. + +There are some historical backgrounds to the alternatives that may be +worth knowing about; these often have roots in history of things the +monopoly-era telephone business didn't care too much about. They are +generally exemplified in reasons behind the FCC's 1947 and 1948 +decisions that opened radio-paging and use of microwave radio to +non-Telcos. (That's right, we're here talking of temblors some four +decades prior to the eruption of nearly unbridled competition in "the +phone business.") + +For the most part, the Bell interests had so narrowly focused their +business that even though they claimed anything moving information was +their birthright, there were numerous items they handled in only the +most marginal of ways. + +Among these was telephone service to ships in coastal waters, several +earlier versions of mobile telephone service, various forms of +telegraphy, burglar alarm services and others. For the most part, +other firms engaged these markets, particularly in the 65% of the land +area of the U.S. covered by non-Bell "Independent" telephone +companies, which focused totally on telephone business. In that large +territory, almost all non-telephone aspects of telecommunications were +provided by private, often local business. These almost all used some +form of radio in their business and became known as Radio Common +Carriers (RCC's). + +We can thus see the roots of the FCC policy of two competing cellular +companies in every market reaching back into these RCCs. In fact, +McCaw Cellular, one of the larger "non-wireline" cellular operators, +was a long-standing RCC in the pre-divestiture era. + +In that era of the "natural monopoly," there was more "patching" and +"hauling" of dial tone on RCC facilities than ever made official +print. Where it was of note, the Telcos treated it as "private," not +as a connection of their PSTN to another common carrier. The point +was that the only breach in the wall was the connection of "foreign +apparatus" at the extremity of the local network; the bond between +dial tone and local telco wire remained intact. + +The traffic truth was that telcos accounted for less than half of the +stations and traffic with boats and aircraft, and as the famous Huber +report showed, less than a third of paging and mobile radio +operations. Much of that had already extended the "dial tone" into +non-Telco hands. + +That situation was stable for several decades, but it ultimately did +wind up today with dial tone coming from non-wireline cellular +carriers and even dial marine VHF shore stations that are now all +private. + +The "hauling" of dial tone we can readily see today as microwave +bypass, but it has also gone a giant step beyond. In a case that no +Telco-employed "consultant" will tell about (it's doubtful they have +been "trained" on it), Arco Oil Company put in its own private +microwave from downtown Dallas, Texas to its corporate headquarters in +suburban Richardson, about ten miles away. Arco's reason: +Dissatisfaction with the performance levels of GTE of Texas, the +"natural monopoly" dial tone supplier for Richardson. The microwave +hauled Southwestern Bell dial tone from downtown Dallas to Richardson. +To reach Arco, all one did was dial a Dallas number. The dial tone on +Arco's PBX was SW Bell, not GTE. + +When Arco's "illegal action" was discovered, GTE of course wanted its +brother in the cloth, Southwestern Bell to disconnect the dial tone. +Both telcos got the Texas utility regulators to order them to +disconnect, but Arco is no stranger to court action. Arco immediately +went to the FCC, arguing that the dial tone was only incidental to +connections containing a high proportion of interstate traffic, which +was beyond the purview of the Texas State regulators. The result: The +FCC ordered Southwestern Bell to maintain dial tone supply to Arco's +microwave channels to Richardson, to provide interstate calling +service. GTE and Southwestern Bell appealed, and after several years +in the Federal Appeals courts, GTE and SW Bell lost again in early +1990, with but one step left: The U.S. Supreme Court. + +It is unlikely that GTE or SW Bell want to risk a Supreme Court +decision after the several slaps they have suffered on their way to +the Supreme Court; they doubtful would want to be responsible for it +becoming wide public knowledge that the "natural monopoly" for a dial +tone is really no longer supported by the US government and its +courts. + +An outfall of this is that if you have the means and desire, you can +really carry in a dial tone from wherever you want. That opens a +wealth of possibilities. It means that anyone who has the means to +provide transmission to your premises can import a dial tone from +whatever local telco network they want. The issue to settle is if +they can SELL it to you. This portends a boon to independent Telcos +located in the hinterlands who want to engage in selling their dial +tone to people a thousand miles away. (And if you REALLY understand +the true love/hate relation between Bell and Independent Telcos in the +US, you'll see that's not a flight of fancy!) + +Who would sell this dial tone? The first moves have already been made +in England, where instead of simply demonopolizing long distance, the +government authorized a "duopoly," permitting England's globe-spanning +Cable & Wireless to establish Mercury Communications to provide local +dial tone as well. Mercury has done so in more than one way. In the +major cities, Mercury immediately pulled fiber into abandoned steam +pipes and used Northern Telecom's telephone network architecture and +equipment to pop electronic exchanges in service with a speed most +telephone people would not understand. + +The Mercury network was operational almost overnight, in typical +telephone capital plan terms. And, Mercury offered services that +British Telecom hadn't thought of, like Centrex, intrinsically +available in the NT equipment, but not in BT-controlled designs, even +the fabled System X. In less-dense areas, Mercury used existing +technology to use vacant capacity in cable TV systems to reach +telephone subscribers. The latter method has been slow to expand, but +not for technical limits as much as economic disagreement with the +cable operators. + +The implication for the U.S. is obvious: Your local cable TV company +has the transmission plant in place to become the "other phone company +in town." The technology to get telephone channels on the present +coaxial cble plant exists; there is no need for a "fiber rebuild" to +handle the need. Existing unused capacity in many US cable TV systems +offers in the order ot 50,000 lines of capacity in every cable passing +every building. The "fiber" story is chanted by Telcos, because they +need fiber to get their capacity up to be able to compete in wideband +data and television carriage. Adding fiber to the cable TV systems is +just a convenience and modernization to their plant. In fact, in many +disparate areas of the nation, cable TV companies have quietly sold +telephone and data channel capacity for years, some even +interconnected between cable companies for distances in excess of 100 +miles, and channels up to T-1 digital rate. Again, these are not +applications stories your Telco-paid "consultant" is likely to tell +you about, but they are not secret nor are they illegal. Carrying a +dial tone down them is no great technology problem at all. + +Another front of the attack on the "dial tone monopoly" exists in the +buzzword "co-location" now being raised more loudly by another new +form of competition to the local Telcos, the Alternative Access +Carriers. The AACs are typically local fiber optic network providers +such as the Metropolitan Fiber Systems now building in more than 20 +cities around the nation, with nearly parallel competition from +Teleport Communications in most of the same cities, while there are a +number of unpublicized regional local fiber companies, like Florida's +Intermedia Communications. Williams Telecommunications Group +headquartered in Tulsa, OK seems to be making moves to acquire some of +these firms and as well build some plant of its own in cities. + +Another aspect of this incursion into the "local monopoly" may come +from MCI, through its acquisition last year of the local facilities of +Western Union Telegraph natiowide. My own work led to discovering +miles of brand new Western Union conduit in the streets of Los Angeles +late last year prior to the MCI purchase, while another recent +revelation was discovery of *wooden* WUTCo conduits in Oklahoma City +recently. All this is now MCI property, and its purpose is obvious; +MCI's intent to use it is not yet so obvious. + +The AAC segment is following MFS's lead to get local Telcos ordered to +permit interconnection of their channels to user premises to Telco +dial tone. + +But, they have no need to wait for that. They can just as well import +dial tone from wherever they want, for VSATs already make that +practical. In fact, if the U.S. can get cheap computer data entry +performed on Caribbean islands by VSAT link, what is there to prevent +U.S. AACs from importing cheap dial tone via VSAT from them as well? +Probably nothing, if anyone really looks into the possibility. + +And, most recent, we have alternative space-based potentials. +Motorola's IRIDIUM is but one, and has recently been well-publicized +and described. Less public is NASA's Personal Access Satellite System +(PASS), which proposes to use techniques rather well-developed by the +military for acquiring and tracking on geosynchronous satellites. PASS +focuses on developing use of the 35 gigahertz portion of the spectrum +where enormous dish gains are possible with 0.3 meter (12 inch!) +dishes and tiny transportable earth stations, offering megabit-sized +data streams to even the remotest of locations. Both IRIDIUM and PASS +propose use of satellite "crosslinks," the satellite term for having +the switching network in the sky with direct trunklines between +satellites. So, you could readily be in Detroit but getting your dial +tone from Auckland. In fact, what's to say there can't be a "virtual +Centrex" located in satellites, so the "global corporation" can have a +"global Centrex?" + +In this context of our ability to get a dial tone from anywhere at a +cheap price, does it really seem so strange that we do it? The +technology for much of it is already in hand; some of it has really +already been used, and all of it is so close to accomplishment that we +will be doing it soon. + +The largest obstacle is not in technology at all; it is in people's +emotions and in vested economic interests of an industry that faces +threats many of its most endangered species participants cannot even +understand: America's local "natural monopoly" telephone companies. + + ---------------- + +(Historical afternote: One way to understand the way in which the +"natural dial tone monopoly" has been fabricated and ingrained into +minds in the U.S. is to read a book on the non-Bell "independent" +telephone industry. This history has been documented several times +this century, and the latest is titled, "The Spirit of Independent +Telephony," by Charles A. Pleasance, 1989, ISBN 0-9622202-0-7. + +It indexes 37 U.S. cities that once had independent telcos competing +with Bell, and I know of others that had multiple independent Telcos, +some until after WW II. This history will surprise some when they +learn that the Independent telcos even tried to form a non-Bell long +distance network; one that Bell interests finally quashed with the +formation of AT&T's Long Lines "department," really a shadow company +that built the long-distance links and pooled the money collected for +long distance calls. The point here is that the "natural monopoly" +concept for dial tone is a fabrication that may have made sense in +1913, was driven home by vested interests, and today is obviously a +dinosaur running out of food.) + +------------------------------ + +End of TELECOM Digest Special: Dial Tone Monopoly +****************************** diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/diallock.txt b/textfiles.com/phreak/diallock.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..ccf02d50 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/diallock.txt @@ -0,0 +1,27 @@ + DIAL LOCKS + +HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN AN OFFICE OR SOMEWHERE AND WANTED TO MAKE A FREE +FONE CALL BUT SOME ASSHOLE PUT A LOCK ON THE FONE TO PREVENT OUT-GOING CALLS? + +FRET NO MORE PHELLOW PHREAKS, FOR EVERY SYSTEM CAN BE BEATEN WITH A LITTLE +KNOWLEDGE! + +THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO BEAT THIS OBSTACLE, FIRST PICK THE LOCK, I DON'T HAVE THE +TIME TO TEACH LOCKSMITHING SO WE GO TO THE SECOND METHOD WHICH TAKES ADVANTAGE +OF TELEPHONE ELECTRONICS. + +TO BE AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE, WHEN YOU PICK UP THE FONE YOU COMPLETE A CIRCUIT +KNOW AS A LOCAL LOOP.

Area Codes, North America + +Bell Communications Research (Bellcore) is the organisation responsible +for the maintenance of the area codes and the dialing setup for +North America since the breakup of AT&T several years back. This +group sets standards for dialing, telephone number format, etc. + +Area codes (or Numbering Plan Areas (NPA)) in North America are presently +of the form NZX where N represents a number from 2 to 8, Z is 0 or 1 and +X is any number. This distinguishes area codes from central office (exchange) +codes which are usually of the form NNX (ie. the difference between an +exchange and an area code is usually in the second digit, whether or not +it is a 0 or 1). + +Area codes ending in -11 are not used, as they are normally used for special +services. The special purposes generally reserved are: + 411 directory assistance + 611 repair + 811 business office + 911 emergency + +The other N11 codes are sometimes used within specific localities for +special purposes (711 is used for mobile service in British Columbia, +in the form 0+711)). In some cases, services are accessed through the +long distance network (ie. 1+411 or 1+611). + +Area codes ending in -10 have been TWX numbers (teletype service). +TWX area codes include 510, 610, 710, 810 and 910. Normal telephone +numbers do not (yet) use area codes ending in -10, though these codes +will be reassigned to regular telephone service as TWX is eliminated. +Upcoming examples of this are the area code splits of 213 (Los Angeles +adds area code 310) and 415 (San Francisco adds area code 510). + +Area codes ending in -00 are usually reserved for special services +like 700, 800 or 900. In fact, these codes are not considered to be +area codes as such, but Service Access Codes (SACs). + + + +(2) Dialing Codes... + +Theoretical capacity of the telephone system: + +The original design of telephone numbers was: + (NZX) NNX XXXX + +In theory, this gives: + N Z X N N X X X X X + 8 * 2 * 10 * 8 * 8 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 = 1.024 billion numbers + +However, as some area codes and exchanges are reserved for special +purposes (such as 411, 555 exchange, etc), the total possible number +of telephone numbers will be somewhat less. + +As the exchange codes in some area codes were used up, some central offices +started using the NXX format, where the middle digit can then be a 0 or 1; +examples of these may be found in New York City or Los Angeles. The March +1990 conversion of the (416) area code around Toronto is another example, +as is a similar change to North Carolina's dialing around the same time. +The dialing is changed so that dialing 1+ a number always requires an area +code, and in the case of (416), will mean that 1+416+ will be needed for +long distance calls within (416). In New York City, however, all calls +within an area code are dialed with seven digits only (without dialing +1 first, let alone the area code). + +Now, telephone numbers look like this: + (NZX) NXX XXXX + +This gives a potential of: + N Z X N X X X X X X + 8 * 2 * 10 * 8 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 = 1.28 billion numbers + +However, codes like 411 and 611 would not be assigned because they will +still be needed for services such as directory assistance and repair. +Nevertheless, some unused N11 codes like 211 may be found in some area +codes as active exchanges. It's also not a good idea to assign the home +area code (could cause confusion). + +Going from NNX exchange codes to NXX only represents a 25% increase in the +total theoretical amount of telephone numbers, and not all area code regions +are expected to run out of exchanges. Also, area codes do not generally go +outside a state or provincial boundary (the only exceptions are in Canada, +where 902 serves both Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, area 819 which +covers the eastern Northwest Territories as well as part of Quebec, and +area 403 which covers Alberta, Yukon and the western Northwest Territories). + +The ultimate goal is not only to use area codes for exchanges codes, but +to use exchanges codes for area codes also. This means that telephone +numbers will ultimately look like this: + (NXX) NXX XXXX + +This gives a potential of: + N X X N X X X X X X + 8 * 10 * 10 * 8 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 = 6.4 billion numbers + +With a five-fold increase in the number of possible area codes, there +should be plenty of room to grow for some time. + + +(3) Dialing Codes... + +Basically, all calls within an area code will ultimately be dialed in +one of the following ways 1) dial seven digits, 2) dial 1 + home area +code + number, or 3) dial 1 + seven digit number within area code, then +wait for a few seconds to time out. One alternative not mentioned in +official documents (for touch tone phones) is to use 1 + seven digit +number in home area code + '#' with the # key terminating the dialing. + +The initial set of new area codes will take the form NN0, or those numbers +ending in '0'. This means that areas codes that do not have exchanges +ending in '0' (or only a few NN0 exchanges that could be renumbered) +can still be able to tell the difference between an exchange and an +area code by looking at the first three digits. + +The new NN0-type area codes will be assigned starting with these +first few codes (in order): + +260, 480, 520, 590, 650, 220, 250, 490, 660, 680, 720, 730, 850, 940 ... + +970 will be reserved for phone testing purposes, and is not slated to +become an area code. + +All telephone systems are expected to change their systems over to allow +for the new style of area codes by 1 July 1995, or perhaps earlier. This +could mean that other area codes will be required to dial the area code +for long distance calls within area, even though the area code is not +running out of exchanges itself (eg. areas 519, 705). + +Dialing Scheme + +* 1 + will generally be used for direct-dialed long distance calls within + North America, especially calls outside the local area code. + +* 0 + is used to dial operator-assisted or automated credit card calls within + North America. After 0 + (area code) + number are dialed, a prompt tone + (same tones as a dial tone, but for a very short duration) will be issued, + then one of the following actions will be taken: + 1) wait for a few seconds, then an operator will come on line + 2) dial '0' to get the operator immediately (for a collect, person to + person call, etc) + 3) dial the telephone company credit card number for billing + + It is unclear what will happen in the cases of automated collect calls, + as to what kinds of dialing would be standard in that case. + + +(4) Dialing Codes... + +Dialing 0 and waiting will get the local area operator. + +* 00 is used in the U.S. to get the operator for a default long distance + carrier. This is used as most long distance companies have their own + operators. A single 0 digit will call up the local operator (with the local + telephone company as opposed to the long distance company). + + It's important to note that the U.S. is broken up into LATAs (Local Access + Transport Areas), and long distance calls are treated differently whether + they are made within a LATA, or if a call is placed to another LATA. Thus, + there could be an operator for within the LATA (intra-LATA calling) and an + operator for inter-LATA calling (from a long distance carrier). + +* 01 is used for overseas calls. 01 + indicates an operator-assisted or + automatic credit card call, while 011 + indicates a direct-dialed overseas + call. 010 is reserved for some unspecified future use. + +* 10XXX + is used in the U.S. to indicate which long distance carrier to use + in a situation known as "equal access". This allows a telephone subscriber + to select a long distance company for a particular call. For instance, + 10288+ gets AT&T while 10222+ gets MCI and 10333+ US Sprint. After this + code, a 1 or 0 is dialed (to indicate direct dial or operator-assisted call) + then the number to be called. + + The codes 10000 is not available for assignment + 10001 - 10099 are reserved for restricted purposes + 10100 - 10199 are reserved for international carriers + (note that because of possible dialing mistakes that may + confuse some codes with 01- overseas dialing codes, + 10100-10119 are to be assigned after all 10120-10199 codes + are assigned.) + 10200 - 10999 are assigned to standard long distance carriers + + A list of the U.S. long distance carriers and their 10XXX+ codes is listed + in a separate document. + + Canada doesn't have to worry about this code quite yet, depending on the + results of the CNCP/Rogers intention to provide alternate long distance + service. + +* 11- or '*'- (tone dialing) is reserved for special calling services like + call waiting functions, etc. For instance, 1170 is used to disable the + call waiting, like *70 can be used on touch tone phones. The current + special calling codes on many local telephone systems are: + + *57 or 1157 - call tracing request (some systems use this for call back) + *60 or 1160 - call blocking activated + *61 or 1161 - priority ring activated + *63 or 1163 - select call forwarding activated + *66 or 1166 - repeat dialing activated + *67 or 1167 - call number ID blocking (done for each call) + *69 or 1169 - call return activated + *70 or 1170 - disable call waiting + *71 or 1171 - 3 way calling according to usage + *72 or 1172 - enable call forwarding + *73 or 1173 - disable call forwarding + *74 or 1174 - modify speed calling directory entry (for 8 number service) + *75 or 1175 - modify speed calling directory entry (for 30 number service) + *76 or 1176 - call pickup + *79 or 1179 - ring again + *80 or 1180 - call blocking disabled + *81 or 1181 - priority ring disabled + *83 or 1183 - select call forwarding activated + *86 or 1186 - repeat dialing disabled + *89 or 1189 - call return disabled + + +(5) Dialing Codes... + +2. Reserved exchanges + +Each area code will have certain exchanges set aside for special purposes. +These exchanges are: + +555 - directory assistance +950 - used to access other long distance services (U.S.) +958, 959 - reserved for phone tests +976 - special recordings, private services + +844 and 936 have been reserved for time and weather services, but this +is not widely adhered to. In area code 416, these exchanges are for +Oakville and Tottenham respectively.

Diverters pre- +date call forwarding and simulate this custom calling feature with one major +advantage.

After diverters became popular in the crime sector, they +became a good way for professionals to recieve night time office calls at +home. For this reason may diverters are only up at night. + + +Locating Diverters: +------------------- + +1 - You can recognize a diverter fairly easily. A diverter will ring usually +one of two times then you may hear a tone, a moment of silence or a voice +saying something like "Please hold you call is being transferred". On some +diverters, there is no time laps before the second symptom. The second symptom +is another ring... sometimes of a different type.

When phone +#1 rings, the diverter picks up phone #2 dials a number on it and patches the +two phones together. + + +Flaws To A Diverter: +-------------------- + + The most commonly known flaw is that if you hold on the line after being +hung up on you will usually hear the diverter dial-tone and you can usually +dial off of it. This is because you have not hung up on phone #1 and it is +still connected to phone #2. + + Another flaw is even better. If one person rings phone #2, and another +calls phone #1 the two parties will be connected. If either party hangs up, +the other will get a dial-tone belonging to the other phone (usually). + + Often you will have to hit your "1" key. This simulates a dial-tone and +fools the diverter into thinking that the phone is hung up. + + You can also sit ringing phone #2 and intercept their calls.

It is similar to call forwarding. + + How Are Diverters Used? + Let's say you have a number that you know has a diverter on it. +When you call the number, first you will hear three or four rings, and then +a click, and fainter ringing. This is the diverter in action, re-routing +your call to the specified number. When the dude who has the diverter +answers, just say you have the wrong number or something, and wait for him +to hang up the phone. MAKE SURE YOU STAY ON THE LINE !!! You should then +hear a pause for a little, and then a dial tone fainter than your own one. +This dial tone is the dial tone of the diverted phone, and any call you make +will be charged to his bill! + + How can I find Diverters? + The easiest way to find diverters are to whip out the good old yellow +pages and let your fingers do the walking until you find numbers for '24 hour' +plumbers, lawyers, doctors, or whatever. Most likely there is not someone on +call at the office, and all calls will be diverted to the person's home phone +number. If the doctor/lawyer/plumber has more than one phone line, call all +of them until you get one with a diverter on it. + + What Can I Use A Diverter For? + Diverters, if you find one with a local exchange, can be used like an +extender, except that you direct dial the call like you would on a normal +non-phreaked long distance phone call. Diverters can also be used for con- +ference calls, either through an AT&T operator or Alliance (0-700) con- +ferencing. If you really want to get malicious, use an AT&T Calling Card +on a diverter. + To get you started: + Yes, I am being a nice guy by giving you a few extenders to try out +and use so you can get the 'pheel' of how a diverter works. These numbers +are most likely not local calls to you so I suggest you use an extender to +dial them with. These were all working as of the date of the writing of this +file (July '85).

Well +recently as you have noticed it is time to make the switch. Many people chose +MCI which actually not very suprising since the connection really is not that +bad and the price, well much cheaper. Anyways I am going to be discussing +diverters and their use in phreaking. + + +Divertors: + +Divertors can be used for several purposes as I will list for you: + +Calling 976 numbers +Calling 900 numbers +Being Abusive To Operators +Setting up conferences and sometimes +using them instead of MCI or some other LD service to call for free. + +Definition of a divertor is basically +just using someone elses phone line to call out on. Your goal is as you could +guess is to get their dial tone. + +Why does it divert? + +Well there are still very old phone systems out there and what happens is +this: + +Say you call someone and they are on a very old phone system and they answer +you say 'Is Joe in?'. Normally they will say 'I'm sorry you have the wrong +number' and they hang up! That was your goal, for them to hang up. When they +hang up you just sit there waiting, and after about 20 seconds you will hear a +dial tone! That is their dial tone! Amazing huh! Anyways here is the catch, +just because its an old phone system does not mean that its going to divert. +There are very few of these numbers in the United States that actually will. + +An example is the 617-655-xxxx divertor in Neidic, Ma. (not sure how 'Neidic' +is spelled, but it is pronounced 'NAY DIK') Anyways this system happens to be vvery old and when the person hangs up it will indeed divert. + +NOTE: + +In the 617-655-xxxx diverter it is very likely that it will not divert every +time sometimes you will have to call about 5 numbers until you get a dial tone +when they hang up or as you now know, until it diverts. + +Other forms of diverting that I know of is this. It does not always have to +be a old phone system. It can be very new phone systems too. This is +accomplished through transfering of calls or also known as call forwarding. +An example: + +A business man wants his calls that normally would go to his business line at +work to come in at his home after work hours. What he does is arrange with +the phone company to have his calls transfered or forwarded to his home phone +number say after 5:00 PM every weekday. When you call his work number, say it +was 555-555-5555 you would hear a ring or two then you would hear usually a +different sounding ring that was where the transfer took place so what it did +was called 555-555-5555 then transfered his call to the phone line say 555-555 +-9090. Now normally not always but when this guy picks up at home give him +the same line 'Is Harry there?' and when he hangs up you should get the dial +tone due to the way the phone company handles the calls. Many doctors use +this call forwarding device for after hours for them and then some don't. +What I would suggest is at around 9:00 PM some night open your phone book to +the yellow pages and find your local doctors. Start calling all of them up in +sequence and listen for that ring difference this suggests that the call is +being transfered. There are actually even some places where it will say +'Please wait your call is being transfered'. If it does transfer then when +they answer ask for someone and when they hang up wait approximately 20 +seconds and it most likely will divert. Circle their phone number and +continue your search. + +NOTE: I have stated numerous times to ask for someone like Hank or something. +DO THIS! If you just sit there they will finally hang up but knowing that it +was a PRANK phone call! You dont want them to think that because after +calling every day sometimes they will get very angry and demand that the phone +company put a trace on their line! The next time you call and just sit there +you are a gonner. Please at least be considerate to them. After all it is +their dial tone your'e using! + +Yes! Now the 617-655-xxxx diverters still divert except one problem is that +because of the switch alot of people have MCI and MCI can not place 0-700 or +976 numbers and a few others this is why sometimes the diverter really is not +worth anything unless its a 800 divertor which means you did not have to +phreak to get to it and you can then use the dial tone to call long distance +for free (I prefer this method over code phreaking because it is ALOT safer +and no one gets a crazy phone bill) or if it is not MCI and you yourself has +MCI but can notmake a call you want to make to a 976, 0-700 and so on then you +should use that divertor to do so. + +Here are a few divertors I have had for a long time and then a few new ones I +have seen posted around.

They are nice to work + +on, and can easily be trimmed down to a minimum size once + +everything is soldered in. The process is the same as any other, + +solder all the parts in per the schematic. The photocell must be + +in a position so that the light from the neon lamp(LMP1) and the + +LED(D2) both shine on it. No other light must get in, so use + +some black electrical tape to seal it all up. All the polarity + +must be observed. Whichever direction you put the LED in, you + +must remember (color code your wires, green is positive, red is + +negative, yellow is positive, black is negative) the negative + +side of the line must go to its negative side. The same goes for + +the transformer. The positive side of each line has to be + +connected to the correct pair on the transformer. On the Radio- + +Shack transformers, put positive of both lines on the Red and + +Black pairs, The negative on Yellow and White. Our prototypes + +have reached less that 1" x 1" in size. + + + +Theory of Operation: + + + +The diverter works on some basic electronic principals. + +Step by step: + + The phone rings. The neon lamp is activated by the high + +voltage(88 p-p) ac and flashes. This light shines on the + +photocell, decreasing its resistance. When this happens, the + +positive voltage flowing through the photocell and the 10k + +resistor exceed the breakdown voltage of the base of the + +transistor and switches that transistor on. Once the transistor + +is on, current flows freely from emitter to collector, energizing + +the relay. The relay's two sets of switches connect both lines + +to the 1:1 audio transformer, effectively taking both lines off + +the hook and coupling any audio signals from either line to the + +other one. Once this happens, current is now flowing through the + +transformer, relay, and LED loop. This current lights the LED + +and that light shines on the photocell. This is what keeps the + +device latched. The light from the LED keeps the photocell + +resistance low enough to keep the transistor on. Now, you make + +your call and get on with your business. You hang up. Now, the + +local CO keeps current flowing through the indial line for about + +5 seconds, at which point it drops down for a second or so and + +then goes back up. This is the signal the device uses to + +determine when you've hung up. When the current drops down, + +there is no light from the LED, and the photocell resistance + +raises enough to turn the transistor off and delatch the entire + +system. + + + +Applications: + + + +The applications are relatively obvious. Hook it up to two + +unused lines and make free calls. Hook it up to two payphones, + +and red box calls. The only thing to watch out for is ringing. + +If you hook it up to a residential line for the indial a small + +(maybe 1/8) of a ring occurs when you call, tipping off people + +inside the house. + + + + + + |------------------------------------- + + | | o +9V + + | L1+ T1 | | + + | o-------wwwww----------| | | + + | | | | + + | L1- | | | + + | o-------------| | | o--------| + + | | | | | | + + | | | | | | + + | | | | | | + + | L2- | |---l----------l---------l--| _____ + + o-------\ LMP1 | | | \| | | w | /^\ D1 + +R4 47k * | | | | |\ | w | /---\ + + --\/\/--/ | | | | | | | w | | + + | | |-l----------l-----------l--| | + + | | | RY1 | | | + + o L2+ |------| | | | + + | | o--------- + + | | | + + | | ----| + + | D2 | / + + | |\ | T1 | / + + |----------| >|-----wwwwww---------- / + + |/ | 000 + + |--------- 000 Q1 + + | 000 + + oooo | \ + + o o 10k | \ + + o-------o-/\/\/o------------/\/\/---| \ + ++9V o o R2 \ R1 | + + oooo / 22k ----- + + \ R3 --- + + | - + + | + + ----- + + --- + + - + + + _/_/_/ _/ _/ + _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ + _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/ + _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ in +_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ peace... diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/dlocbx.txt b/textfiles.com/phreak/dlocbx.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..cb5a9605 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/dlocbx.txt @@ -0,0 +1,97 @@ + + ][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][ + ][..................................][ + ][...........THE/DLOC/BOX...........][ + ][..................................][ + ][..............-=BY=-..............][ + ][..................................][ + ][......THE/DARK/LORDS/OF/CHAOS.....][ + ][..................................][ + ][....PROWLER.......................][ + ][.......APPRENTICE.................][ + ][..........PRO.HACK................][ + ][..............ZEUS................][ + ][................TARKMETH..........][ + ][...................BLACKSTOKE.....][ + ][..........................LAZER...][ + ][..................................][ + ][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][ + + +STUFF YOU'LL NEED: +------------------ + +A soldering iron +A spool of low resistance wire +2 female fone jacks +2 SPST toggle switches +4 gold plated alligator clips +A box to put it all in +Some solder +A brain + +Here's a simple diagram of how it's put together + + @ @ +KEY: G R + G R +G= Green wire G R +R= Red wire G R +*= Female jack G R +\= SPST switch G R +O= Connection O------*-----O +@= Gator clips ! ! +-= Wire ! ! +!= Wire \ \ + ! ! + ! ! + ! ! + O------*-----O + G R + G R + G R + G R + G R + G R + @ @ + +Assemble it as above, and put it in the box, with the toggle switches parallel, +and the female jacks mounted on either side of the box.

Deal, D.C., N.D. + +ABSTRACT + A series of experements were done by muscle testing paitents for +meridian imbalences and then strengthing the muscle indicators, indicating +balanced meridians, by running a time-domain amplifies signal through the +paitent's skin. + The skin is embryonically the source of all special senses. Our skin +contains more sensors for heat, touch, pain, etc., than any other part of the +human anatomy. The human ear evolves embryonically out of the convolutions of +the skin of an embryo in the mothers uterus. Basically, the skin is the +oldest evolutonary nervous system sensor. Another way to look at this, is the +special sense of tough has progressively extended over the entire body by way +of skin and evolutionary wise our other special senses should follow suit and +extend over our entire body in time. The skin then, since it is the precursor +of the ears, should also be capable of hearing, or to put it another way, it +should beable to transmit the sense of hearing to the brain by means other +than the 8th Crainial Nerve. + The skin is both piezo-electric and opto-electric, that is, when the +skin is stimulated by an electric or photon field, it vibrates. If it is +mechanically stimulated, it will generate its own electric and photon field. +In Russia, blind people have been trained to "see" with their fingertips and +in Czechoslavakia, deaf people have been trained to "hear" with their +fingertips. + For the purpose of our experement, we used a Neurophone, a device +developed by Dr Pat Flanagan, author of the book, PYRAMID POWER. The device +uses hyperspacial nested modulation technology. Briefly the device takes a +complex signal such as the sound of an orchestra and electriclly processes it. +First, the signal is passed into a section which clips everything into a +series of square waves, remarkably analogous to the sort of clipped waves +Lisitsyn confirms are the carriers of the human brain waves. Next, the +square waves are differentiated, since these are finite spikes with real +non-zero rise times and decay times rather than theoretical constructs, a +series of noisy spikes results the second differentiator section. From here, +the noisy spikes are introduced to special contact electrodes which are placed +on the skin. The electrodes are fabricated of zirconium titanate imbedded in +acrylic plastic tiles to provide maximum impedance match to the skin itself. + In experements done at Tufts niversity near Boston by Dr Dwight +Batteau in Man-Dolphin communications and assisted by Dr Flanagan, it was +established that the nervous system uses time ratios as major sources of +intelligent information. It was found that speech intelligibility was +contained in time dominant ratios of the speech waveform. Speech quality was +found to be contained in dominant frequency ratios. So the nervous system is +designed to recognise two distinct paramaters: the time domain and the +frequency domain. + Baised partially upon work done at Tufts University, it is known that +the human voice does not depend upon frequencies. People who have had their +larynix removed can use an "artificial larynix", a buzz generator held against +the side of the throat. Word information is formed by the action of the jaw, +tongue, teeth, glottis, and the nasal cavaties. The human nose and mouth form +a variable time dely generator. Thus, the basic audio information our brains +evolved to decipher, the human voice, is dependent not upon frequency but upon +the time rate of change nature of sound caused by time delays imposed by the +mouth and nasal passages. + The Neurophone makes use of these research results by suppressing the +frequency domain and amplifying the time domain of the incomming signal. This +is one reason why the Neurophone sounds so scratchy when one first begins to +listen to it. The electronic circuitry of the Neurophone presents audio +information to the skin in the way the skin originally evolved to recieve and +decode the information eons ago. Thus the Neurphone directly inputs +information into the brain and nervous system, and even the mind, bypassing +all the normal sensory systems that lie between the mind/brain loop and the +outside environment. + Since all of the acupuncture meridians are present on the surface of +the skin, we found some very interesting affects when the skin was activated +by the Neurophone. All the subjects of the experement were muscle tested for +one major muscle for each of the twelve meridians bilaterally. The meridians +were recorded as under active for muscle weak in the clear and over active for +muscles that became weak only by stimulation of the alarm point for its +respective meridian. The subjects were then connected to the Neurophone by +placing the electrodes on the skin of the forehead just lateral ans superior +to the eyes. K-Y Jelly was used to enhance the contact between the skin and +the electrodes. A tape recording of pink noise was then played through the +Neurophone for a period of two minutes and then the muscles were retested +after removal of the electrodes. + +CONCLUSION + Table 1 represents the totals of 10 different paitents who went +thorugh the experiment. Out of the 240 meridiand tested, 85.8% of the +unbalanced ones found, were corrected. The Neurophone appears to have a +beneficial effect on the body. On subesquent visits, the meridians were +remaining in balance two weeks later. Some of the many comments from the +paitents included: cessations of seizures, inproved sleep, total relaxation, +improved respiration, better concentration, and cessation of pain. + +ADDITIONAL RESEARCH + To be certain the Neurophone was not operating by bone conduction, a +simple experement was done, known as the Batteau test in honor of the hearing +research of the late Dr Dwight Batteau who developed the test during the +Neurophone evaluation at Tufts University. + Two seperate channels of auditory information were used. One channel +goes through a set of ordinary headphones, the other goes through the +Neurophone. One specific frequency is played through the headphone channel. +Another frequency slightly different is played through the Neurophone +circuitry to the transducer disks. If the Neurophone was producing hearing +by bone conduction, the two slightly different frequencies would "mix" in the +bone structures of the inner ear, producing a discernible "beat frequency" +which is the difference between the two frequencies. With the Neurophone, +this "beat" is heard only at very high volume levels in both channels, levels +at which the Neurophone is probably producing bone conduction by the strong +vibration of the skin under each transducer disk. However, the beat frequency +should theoreitcally be heard at all volume levels; it is not heard at normal +neurophonic listining levels. + +LOOKING AHEAD + Although the present experement was a relatively simple one, the +implications of future possibilities are tremendous. The following ideas may +well serve as topics of future research papers and I invite all the members of +the I.C.A.K. to pursue them, either on their own or in conjunction with me. +Some of the possibilities for which ther is already some evidence are: + 1. Increase in telepathic awareness. + 2. A brain/mind link between two or more people. + T.E. Bearden has developed a mathematical formula that + indicates that the combined mind power of a group of people + will multiply exponentially if these people are linked in a + unitary consciousness. + 3. Subliminal learning may be accomplished by the subject material + being played through the Neurophone at a low volume level. No + conscious effort is made to learn the material. This could even + be accomlished while the student is asleep. + 4. Conscious learning may be accomplished by simultaneously listening + to tape recorded data by means of Neurophone and headphones. In + this way, the learning centers of the brain are being accessed by + at least two seperate channels. + 5. Positive subliminal programs to alter undesirable habits: i.e. + weight control, smoking control, and creation of positive mental + attitude. + 6. Control the aging process by means of positive cellular + programming via the Neurophone. + 7. Totally deaf people being able to the recorded audio. + + -------------------------------------------------------------------- + If you have comments or other information relating to such topics as + this paper covers, please upload to KeelyNet or send to the + Vangard Sciences address as listed on the first page. + Thank you for your consideration, interest and support. + + Jerry W.

Box 620401 + Littleton, CO 80162 + + July 7, 1985 + + + The American Dream means many things to many people. To the small, typical +businessman, it means building a good, strong business based on hard work and +perseverence; indeed, with nothing limiting his potential but he amount of +work he is willing to put into his business. To a large businessman, the American + Dream means living and working in a country where a single corporation can +have a profit exceeding the gross national product of an entire third world +nation. To the individual, the American Dream is the right to choo3e)-- +everything from one's breakfast cereal to a long-distance service, as well as +the formal right outlined by our founding fathers: those of life, liberty, and +the pursuit of happiness. + To the phone phreak, I think the American Dream is, in a sort of twisted +way, the uninhibited pursuit of knowledge. This quest could scarcely remain +unchecked in many other countries. Analagous to this quest is the thriving of +the Bell System, which until January 1, 1984 consisted of the American +Telephone and Telegraph Company, the largest corporation in the history of the +world. Did the American Dream die on January first or did the divestiture of +AT&T cause a giant step forward for competition and free enterprise in the +United States? I do not know. I do know that the other nations of the world +were amazed that the United States would dissolve the entity that brought the +finest and most universal telephone system in the world, and did so at a time +when the majority of the rest of the world was still using two dixie cups and +a string. + The unfairness of the situation is that AT&T built the telephone system of +this nation and is now being bound and gagged and having its possessions +distributed to others, whom AT&T also wrought. All in the name of fairness, +free competition, and "equal access". Where was was MCI during the century +that AT&T built he communications system of this nation? Well, I believe in +Equal Access. Wholly. And, since I believe in equal access and its +implications for equality for all so strongly, I feel that MCI, Sprint, and +others should take the same amount of time to build their respective toll +networks: 100 years. Therefore, if the United States Justice Department were +truly the fair and just administrator that it portrays itself to be, MCI would +not have a hand in the long-distance cache until about 2080. That's only fair. + There is no doubt that MCI is a sub-standard organization. They consist of +incompetent employees, inferior equipment, and an inferior marketing strategy. +They are mockingly imitative of AT&T, except in the quality of their service, +which is practically unusable. It is also interesting that with less than 2% +market share, MCI calls itself "the nation's long-distance company." + The point to this diatribe is this. It's time for these long-distance +companies such as MCI and Sprint to grow up. With Equal Access, they are going +to become real long-distance companies, not the joke organizations they are +now, and I think it may just take them one hundred years to do so. + + +============ +Equal Access +============ + + Equal Access, as it applies to the telecommunications industry, is "the +requirement that each Bell Operating Company provide exchange access to all +long-distance carriers that is equal in type and quality to that provided AT&T +communications." This is the official provision set forth by the United +States Justice Department in the Modification of the Final Judgement, August 24, +1982. + All this means is that each long-distance-distance company will have "equal +access" to all of the same types of services that AT&T currently enjoys. There +are four types of long-distance carrier services, divided into "feature +groups." They follow. + +FG A: "line side access." This is the standard 7-digit dialup+code (for + billing purposes) +destination telephone number. It is currently + in use by most long-distance carriers. + +FG B: "trunk side access." These are the 950 exchange numbers. They also + utilize an authorization code for billing. As with FG A, automatic + number identification (ANI) (i.e. calling number) is not provided to + the carrier, but will be in the future. + +FG C: "1+ dialing." Currently, only AT&T is able to get this type of service. + It is 1/0+7 of 10 digit direct long distance dialing. ANI (for billing) + is provided. + +FG D: "equal access." This will allow for 1/0+7 or 10 digit direct + long-distance dialing (presubscription carrier) and 10xxx+1/0+7 or 10 + digit long-distance dialing (alternate carrier). ANI for billing is + provided at the long-distance carrier's option. Billing may also be + handled by the individual long distance company or the local Bell + Operating Company. + + Feature groups C and D are mutually exclusive (i.e. both cannot exist in a +particular area at the same time). Areas which have Feature Group C (AT&T +long-distance only) are non-Equal Access, and areas which have Feature Group D +(multiple long distance carriers) are Equal Access regions. + Feature Group B, the 950 exchange numbers will be used in areas in which it +is not feasible to provide with Equal Access, such as step-by-step offices +(yes, they CAN have 950 numbers), some crossbar offices, and some independent +telcos, which are not bound by the provisions of Equal Access and may provide +to their customers any type of long-distance service(s) they wish. The 950 +exchange is now active in many areas. It is mainly used as a universal +"roaming" access port for many long-distance carriers, but when an office is +converted to Equal Access, the 950 capability is removed. Thus, in an Equal +Access region, one cannot complete a call to a 950 telephone number. + I personally am looking very forward to Equal Access. My area is not +scheduled for full implementation of it until late 1985 or early 1986, and by +this time many of the alternate long distance carriers' networks will be in +place (or well under way). Think about what Equal Access means. Equality for +all long distance carriers. Access to common facilities, such as: busy-line +verification lines, Bell System information, signalling specifications. etc. +After full implementation of Equal Access, one will be able to take advantage +of and manipulate the services of more than just one carrier. It will no +longer be phreaks vs. AT&T. + When your area is ready to initiate Equal Access, you will receive a notice +in the mail informing you of some of the details of Equal Access, and will ask +you to specify your choice of "primary carrier." In some cases you will need +to specify both inter-LATA carrier (IC), which handles calls out of your LATA +(Local Access and Transport Area), and an international carrier (INC), which +ill handle calls destined for other countries. Recent market studies have +shown that between 80 and 90 per cent of residential customers will continue to +be served by AT&T for their long-distance service after Equal Access. So much +for competition. + You will probably be faced with many long-distance companies to choose from, +including but not limited to: AT&T, MCI, Sprint, ITT, Western Union, Dial U.S., +Call America, TMC, and U.S. Telephone. Whichever you choose will become your +"primary carrier." Your primary carrier will handle your call each time you +pick up you fone and dial 1+7 or 10 digits or 0+7 or 10 digits, inter-LATA +only. That is, if you dial a toll call that is within your LATA, it will be +handled by your local telephone company (Bell), not by your primary carrier, +even though it is a toll call. Let's use an example. The state of Colorado +consists of two LATAs. For this example, I will use three cities in Colorado: +Denver (in LATA1), Sterling (LATA1 also), and Colorado Springs (in LATA2). +Note here that even though Denver ad Sterling are in the same LATA, and Denver +and Colorado Springs are not, Sterling is actually much farther away from +Denver than Colorado Springs. This is because LATA boundaries were designed +giving consideration to high toll-traffic regions, to bring in revenue. Toll +traffic between Denver and Colorado Springs is very high, so the two cities +were placed in separate LATAs (or, more correctly, they were separated by a +LATA boundary). Toll traffic between Denver and Sterling is very low, of the +two cities were allowed to remain in the same LATA. Now, if everyone in +Colorado Springs were to pack up and move to Sterling (though who knows what +the hell for), the LATA boundaries in Colorado would be changed so that Denver +and Sterling were in different LATAs. The primary factor in determining LATAs +is money. + If I made a call to Sterling from my home in Denver, the call would be routed +entirely via Mountain Bell long-distance facilities. No long distance carrier +would be involved because Denver and Sterling are in LATA1. If I made a call +to Kelley, the blonde babe in Colorado Springs, the call would be handled by a +long distance carrier (in this case, AT&T) because Denver is in LATA1 and +Colorado Springs is in LATA2. Here is a table to simplify this: + +Customer dials LATA carrier +----------------------------------------------------------------- +7 digits same Bell +1+7 digits same Bell +1+7 digits diff LD carrier (currently AT&T) +1+10 digits diff LD carrier (currently AT&T) +----------------------------------------------------------------- + + Note several things here. First, not all areas need to dial a 1 when dialing +any number, local or long distance, but the central offices will still discern +whether the call is in the same LATA as the customer or a different one and +handle the call appropriately. Secondly, some step-by-step offices require a +1+NPA to be dialed for calls within the same LATA and, in fact, all numbers +outside of the office itself. But, for the most part, the above table is +standard for common switching networks. + +================== +Alternate Carriers +================== + + Your normal long distance carrier will handle all your toll calls which cross +over LATA boundaries when you dial directly, 1+. If you wish to place your +call via another carrier's network, whether for cost, quality, or circuit +availability reasons, you may do so in Equal Access regions. To access an +alternate long distance carrier after Equal Access, a customer dials +10xxx+1/0+7 or 10 digit telefone number. Note that xxx is the "carrier access +code (CAC)." A few CACs currently in use are listed below. + + 222 ........ MCI 333 ........ US Telefone + 444 ........ Allnet 666 ........ Lexitel + 777 ........ Sprint 888 ........ SBS + 220 ........ Western Union + + Thus, in an Equal Access region, to dial Fred in Orlando, a customer would +dial 1+305+994+9966 to place his call on his primary carrier, or to place it on +another network, he could dial: 10222+1+305+994+9966, and the call would go +over MCI facilities (in this case). Eventually, after many more long distance +services get into the act, there will be a directory of the various long +distance companies and their CACs, and deciding which carrier to use for any +particular call to get the bet rate will be beyond the ability of everyone +except phone phreaks. + +================ +The 950 Exchange +================ + + As discussed, the 950 central office exchange is currently a "roaming" access +port for various long distance carriers. In areas that have 950, the access to +carriers is standardized. Thus, someone travelling to several different areas +need only know the 950 number of the carrier he uses to access it from any area +(provided that it have 950 active). Originally, the 950 exchange was designed +to correspond with the 10xx carrier access code used for Equal Access. For +example, 950-1022 would be the same carrier as 1022 (+telephone number). +However, it was later found that the 100 codes available for use as 10xx CACs +would be insufficient to handle he number of long distance carriers. So, the +common carrier access code was increased by one digit, to 10xxx, thus +increasing the number of possible CACs to 1000. To keep the 950 exchange +consistent with the ne CAC, the Bell Operating Companies have opted to change +the 950-10xx to 950-0xxx. The xxx in the 950-0xxx remains the same as the xxx +in the 10xxx carrier access code. The new modified 950 numbering pan is now +active in Philadelphia (Bell Atlantic) among other areas. + + After Equal Access is well under way, the 950 exchange will be used in +certain areas that cannot be equipped for the standard Equal Access dialing +plans. This includes step-by-step, #1 crossbar, #5 crossbar, #2ESS, and #3ESS +offices. Customers in areas served by these types of switching equipment will +dial information and ANI will not be provided by the local Bell Operating Company. + There are three main advantages to the 950 central office exchange and +protocol. They are: a) universal access for all areas, b) 950-exchange numbers +are "trunk side access." This means that the long distance carrier has direct +trunks going to it from a Bell toll office or local central office. These +trunks are interoffice lines, not customer type (POTS) lines, and supposedly +insure higher quality of connection. And, c) 950-exchange numbers are toll and +message unit free. On metered-usage (i.e., not "flat rate") customer lines, +they cost nothing. In most areas they are free from coin stations, with +Colorado as one notable exception. + +===== +Costs +===== + + Each long-distance carrier must choose the type(s) of service it wishes to +provide to its customers. These different types of service were outlined +earlier as "Feature Groups." The costs of these Feature Groups vary directly +with the complexity and quality of the service itself. The following table +outlines the cost to the carrier of each available Feature Group. It is based +on the monthly rate per line for 9000 minutes of circuit use, and assumes the +carrier and Bell switch are 15 miles apart. + +FG non-Equal Access Equal Access +-------------------------------------------------------- +A $329.94 $709.20 +B 329.94 721.80 +C 752.40 ** N/A ** +D ** N/A ** 752.40 +-------------------------------------------------------- + + These figures are a lot more significant than they might appear. They +indicate that after Equal Access, in order to compete with the giants such as +AT&T, MCI, etc., smaller long distance companies will use Feature Group A or B +type service in order to provide significantly lower rates to their customers +than companies subscribing to Feature Group D service (like AT&T, MCI, etc). +This will cause a unique type of equilibrium to form. Customers willing to +dial an access number, authorization code, and destination number and put up +with lower quality service will be able to save a lot of money. This seems +faintly reminiscent of pre-Equal Access times.... + +==================== +Directory Assistance +==================== + + Each Bell Operating Company will be responsible for providing intra-LATA +operator services. When a customer dials (1)+411 or (1)+555+1212 for local +directory assistance, he will reach a Bell operator who will service requests +for listed numbers within the customer's LATA. Requests for numbers in LATAs +other than the calling customer's may be handled at the discretion of the local +operating company. Initially, the Bell Operating Companies will meet the +responsibility for providing directory assistance services by contracting it to +a long distance carrier or carriers (currently AT&T). All inter-LATA directory +assistance services will be provided by the inter-LATA carrier (IC). ICs may +also provide 800 Enterprise service or other toll free type directory +assistance services. See table. + + intra-LATA: + HNPA 411/555-1212 BOC + *FNPA NPA+555-1212 BOC + HNPA 10xxx+555-1212 intra-LATA carrier + *FNPA 10xxx+NPA+555-1212 intra-LATA carrier + + inter-LATA: + HNPA (10xxx)+1+555-1212 IC + FNPA (10xxx)+1+NPA+555-1212 IC + + * When LATA boundaries cross NPA boundaries (rare). + + FNPA = Foreign Numbering Plan Area (area code). + HNPA = Home Numbering Plan Area (area code). + + + At first glance, the above table appears somewhat complex. But, if you +understand the concept of LATAs and carriers, it is easily understood. +Essentially, all local Bell Operating Companies will maintain their own +directory assistance services. When a customer dials 411 or 555-1212, he will +reach a BOC directory assistant. Additionally, each long distance carrier that +wishes to provide directory assistance to its customers will also have DA +facilities. And, when a customer dials a directory assistant (NPA+555-1212) on +a carrier, he will reach an operator of that particular long distance carrier. +The key here is LATAs. If a customer wants to find a number that is within his +LATA, no long distance carrier is involved. It is handled strictly by the +Local Bell Operating Company. If a customer is seeking a number that is not +within his LATA, he must use the services of an inter-LATA (long-distance) +carrier. + +====================== +TSPS Operator Services +====================== + + Traffic Service Position System (TSPS) operator services will be handled much +in the same fashion as directory assistance services, with a few differences. +As with DAs, each Bell Operating Company and each inter-LATA carrier will +maintain its own TSPS operator facilities (or cordboard I suppose, if they +cannot afford TSPS). When a customer dials simply 0 (operator), he will reach +a BOC TSPS operator. The BOC TSPS will be able to handle all types of +intra-LATA operator-assisted traffic including (but not limited to): collect, +third party billing, Bell credit card, coin, verification and emergency +interrupt, and requests for emergency aid. BOC TSPS will be unable to complete +calls for customers outside of the customer's LATA. Thus, inter-LATA operator +assistance will be handled by an inter-LATA carrier TSPS (IC TSPS). An IC TSPS +will handle all previously mentioned types of calls that require inter-LATA +transport (i.e., the call originates and terminates in different LATAs). When +a customer dials 0+NXX-XXXXX or 0+NPA+NXX-XXXX, the central office will +determine if the call is destined for another LATA. If it is not, the call +will be sent to the Bell TSPS for appropriate handling. If the call is bound +for another LATA (and his determination is made based on the NXX or NPA+NXX), +then the call will be sent off to the customer's primary long-distance carrier +(since only 0+ was dialed). If the customer wishes to use a different +carrier's operator services, he would dial 10xxx+0+number, and the carrier +specified by the 10xxx carrier access code would receive the call. Note: if a +customer dials 10xxx+0+number, and the call is an intra-LATA call, he will get +a recording, "We're sorry, the number you dialed cannot be reached with the +carrier access code you dialed. Please check the code and try again or call +your carrier for assistance." (Western Electric KS-22550 central office tape +list no. 46.) + Until the Bell Operating Companies can install their own TSPS facilities and +networks, they will (continue to) lease capacity from AT&T TSPS. That is, AT&T +will handle the intra-LATA traffic for the BOCs on a contract basis. In the +meantime, AT&T will continue to handle its own long-distance operator services +while the other inter-LATA carriers will have to implement their own operator +networks from scratch. My estimation is that you won't be able to dial 10222+0 +for an MCI TSPS operator until sometime around the year 2590. And even then +they will probably be cordboard. + In addition to the changes in TSPS described above, there will be certain +modifications to the software and hardware involved in the TSPS operator +system. Most critical, and of paramount importance to the telecommunications +enthusiast is changes in circuit associated signalling (CAS). This is +signalling to and from the TSPS facility. When a customer dials 0 (operator) +or 10xxx+0 (IC operator), a succession of events occurs. First, the end office +seizes a trunk to the appropriate operator facility (this assumes that no +access tandem is involved). The operator service facility responds with a wink +(proceed signal) and the end office outpulses the CALLED number (or KP+ST if 0 +only dialed). The operator service (OS) facility will then come off-hook to +signal that it is ready to receive ANI information. The end office outpulses +the ANI information in the format of KP+II+7 digits+ST (or ST'). If there is +ANI failure, a KP+02+ST (or ST') will be sent. "ST'" stands for STart "prime", +and is indicative of a coin call (i.e., dial 0 from a coin station). A normal +ST terminating the ANI sequence means that the call is originating from a +noncoin station. See table for ultimate description. + + inter-LATA calls + +type of call customer dials MF-pulsed cld num ANI +=============================================================================== + +noncoin: + direct dialed 10xxx+1+7/10d KP+7/10d+ST'' KP+II+7d+ST + operator assist 10xxx+0 KP+ST''' KP+II+7d+ST + special toll 10xxx+0+7/10d KP+7/10d+ST''' KP+II+7d+ST +coin: + direct dialed 10xxx+1+7/10d KP+7/10d+ST KP+II+7d+ST + operator assist 10xxx+0 KP+ST' KP+II+7d+ST + special toll 10xxx+0+7/10d KP+7/10d+ST' KP+II+7d+ST + + intra-LATA calls +=============================================================================== + +noncoin: + direct dialed 10xxx+1+7/10d KP+7/10d+ST'' KP+II+7d+ST' + operator assist 10xxx+0 KP+ST''' KP+II+7d+ST' + special toll 10xxx+0+7/10d KP+7/10d+ST''' KP+II+7d+ST' +coin: + direct dialed 10xxx+1+7/10d KP+7/10d+ST KP+II+7d+ST' + operator assist 10xxx+0 KP+ST' KP+II+7d+ST' + special toll 10xxx+0+7/10d KP+7/10d+ST' KP+II+7d+ST' + +Note: ST=Start, ST'=STart prime, ST''=Start double prime, + ST'''=STart triple prime. + + Once again, the above table appears somewhat intimidating in its complexity. + +All these STs, ST primes, etc. Actually, the only purpose of the starts is to +distinguish to the TSPS machine exactly what type of call the customer is +placing and from what type of telefone he is calling. "Special toll" calls are +collect, credit card, and third-party billing type calls. Here is an example +of a complete dialing and outpulsing sequence for an operator service call: + + from a coin fone, a customer dials 0+ (or 10xxx+) 303+979-9997. The central +office would seize a trunk to the operator service facility and outpulse: +KP+303+979-9997+ST'. This indicates to the operator service facility that the +call is a special toll call originating from a coin telephone. The OS facility +comes off-hook and the central office would then outpulse KP+00+232+9969+ST. +This is he ANI information, and the ST indicates that the call is inter-LATA +(if it were intra-LATA, the sequence would be terminated with ST' instead). + Perhaps now I should explain screening. Certain telefones are "screened" +against placing certain types of calls. A screening code is a two digit +information carrier. For instance, 00 is "identified line" (no special +treatment), 01 is multiparty ONI (operator number identification), 02 is ANI +failure, 06 is hotel/motel, 07 is coinless (hospital/inmate fone), 08 is +inter-LATA restricted, 68 is hotel inter-LATA restricted, 78 is coinless +(hospital inmate) inter-LATA restricted, etc. A 98 is an AT&T Charge-A-Call +fone (those blue fuckers). More screening codes are allocated as they are +needed. Note that the original TSPS screening design only allowed for single +digit information digits. They were later found to be insufficient. + I believe that the operator services have been adequately covered, so I will +now move on to other aspects of Equal Access. + +============= +Routing Codes +============= + + The TTC (terminating toll centre) and special routing codes will continue to +be used in inter-LATA networks. These 0xx and 1xx type codes, which sometimes +precede operator routing codes, will be assigned to various ICs on an +individual basis. When 0xx and 1xx codes serve as pseudo-central office code, +they will be coordinated such that it will avoid IC conflicts. The +Numbering/Dialing Planning Group of the Central Services Organization (sounds +like some sort of Communist governing body) will provide assistance where the +assignment of coordinated codes is necessary. + +================== +Special Area Codes +================== + + Special area codes, also called Service Area Codes (SACs) presented the +designers of Equal Access with an interesting problem. SACs are N00 type area +codes, such as 700, 800, and 900. They are used for special services and +unlike normal area codes, are not associated with a particular state or region. + Each long distance carrier will be allocated its own exchanges in each service +area code. Thus, when a customer places a call to a number in a service area +code, the central office will examine the exchange of the telefone number and +route the call over the proper carrier's facilities. The customer will be +totally oblivious to this process. Current SACs include 700 +(teleconferencing), 800 (toll free services), and 900 (dial-it services). +There are currently plans under way to implement the 600 area code, although +its exact uses are not yet clear. + +================ +Signalling to IC +================ + + Each long distance carrier that wishes to serve a particular LATA must +establish a point of presence (POP) in that LATA. A carrier's POP is a toll +office that receives toll traffic destined for another LATA. A POP is a centre +for inter-LATA transport of toll traffic. This traffic will be directed to it +from a Bell central office, either an end office or an access tandem (AT). An +access tandem is simply a Bell office which directs long distance traffic from +a number of local end offices to a number of different inter-LATA carriers. To +pass call details (such as called and calling numbers) from the Bell local +office to the inter-LATA carrier, a signalling system was designed that employs +current multifrequency (MF) signalling protocol. When a customer dials +10xxx+(1/0)+(NPA)+NXX+, the end office will seize a trunk to the appropriate IC +as determined by the 10xxx CAC (or primary carrier if no CAC is dialed). +Note: +this happens as soon as the customer finishes dialing the exchange, even though +he may still be dialing the last four digits of he telefone number. After the +end office has seized a trunk to the IC, the IC will return a wink, which is +the signal to proceed. Then, the end office will send ANI information, in the +format of: KP+II+10 digit ANI+ST. If the carrier is not to receive ANI +information from the Bell Operating Company (i.e., they are not paying for it), +then only KP+ST is sent. Presumably, by now the customer has completed dialing +the last four digits of the destination telefone number, so the end office will +send: KP+7 or 10 digit CALLED number+ST. Note several things here: 1) The IC +does not send a wink when it is ready to receive CALLED number information. +2) +ANI information is ten digits, plus a two-digit screening code, and 3) The +central office's outpulsing to the IC overlaps the customer's dialing. + Some ANI screening codes include: 00 (identified POTS), 01 (ONI multiparty), +02 (ANI failure), 06 (hotel without room identifcation), 07 (coinle +ss, hospital, inmate, etc.), 08 (inter-LATA restriction), 10 (test call), 20 +(AIOD calls, listed DN sent), 27 (coin call), and 95 (test call). These are +the same or similar as the screening codes used in operator service +signalling. + In addition to the domestic signalling design outlined above, a new +international signalling system has been designed for use with Equal Access. +It also uses two-stage, overlapping outpulsing. After a customer has +completed dialing (10xxx)+011+CC (CC is country code), the Bell end office +will seize a trunk to he appropriate IC (or international carrier, if direct routing +is available). The IC/INC will respond with a wink, and the end office will +outpulse: KP+1NX+YXX+CCC+ST. Each of these three groups of routing information +indicate something different abut the international call being placed. The 1NX +is the "international system routing code, one for each type of call routing." + +I have absolutely no idea what that means, and no one I have talked to at Bell, +AT&T, MCI, CCITT, ITT, the CSO and FCC have any idea either. Next, the YXX is +the carrier routing code. It is actually XXX, Which is the three digits of the +10xxx CAC for the particular carrier being accessed. Finally, CCC is the +ountry code, padded with a zero if necessary. + One may wonder why the CAC is signalled forward when a trunk is seized +directly to the carrier itself. The reason for this is that in some cases a +direct trunk to the carrier is not available and the call must be routed +through an access tandem, which is responsible for routing calls to a variety +of different long distance carriers. + +==================== +Switch Compatibility +==================== + + Full-feature Equal Access will become available first for Western Electric +#1ESS switching systems. It will be available first in generic 1E8 (1AE8 for +#1A ESS). Later, generic 5E2 for #5ESS, generic 2B4 for #2B ESS, generic +BCS-16 for Northern Telecom DMS-100, and generics 209 and 302 for DMS-10 will +provide full-feature Equal Access capabilities in those types of end office +switching equipment. The Western Electric #4ESS, #1 and 1A ESS, #5ESS, and the +Northern Telecom DMS-200 machines which serve as toll offices or access tandems +will be capable of receiving the new Equal Access signalling format, after +required generic development. Other switches (such as all crossbar offices) +will not be able to handle the new signalling format. + +===== +LATAs +===== + + LATAs, Local Access and Transport Areas, are the entire key to the +administration of Equal Access. They can be thought of as miniature area +codes. A telefone call can never cross a LATA boundary except on an inter-LATA +carrier. However, there are certain exceptions to this. For example, in the +state of Colorado, which consists of two LATAs, the local Bell Operating +Company (Mountain Bell), which serves as the intra-LATA (i.e., calls to/from +the same LATA) carrier, may also serve as inter-LATA (to/from different LATAs) +carrier within Colorado. There are also exceptions in the corridor region of +the New York/New Jersey/Pennsylvania area. + + The forty-eight continental United States consist of 161 LATAs. Some states, +such as Deleware, consist of only one LATA, while others, such as Illinois, can +have up to 14 or more. Each LATA is given a name. For instance, Pennsylvania +consists of six LATAs: Philadelphia, Capital, Northeast, Altoona, Pittsburgh, +and Erie (independent telco). + +============== +A Few Thoughts +============== + + In 1973, Chrysler, A&P, RCA, Phillips Petroleum, S.S. Kresge, Boeing +Aircraft, International Harvester, Woolworth's, Greyhound, Firestone, Litton, +and General Foods, among others, each reported annual profits of less than $150 +million. In that same year, the Telephone Company wrote off, as being +uncollectable, debts of $150 million. + In 1974, the Bell System had direct interests in at least 276 organizations, +many of them not related to the telefone industry. Bell also had interlocking +financial arrangements with such corporations as the Chase Manhattan Bank, IBM, +Prudential Insurance, Sears Roebuck, General Motors, U.S. Steel, and Lever +Brothers. Should the need have arisen, the Bell System in 1974 could have +exercised control of 400 billion dollars, fully one-third of that year's gross +national product. + +From: Hyde, J. Edward, The Phone Book. Henry Regnery Publishing Company, + Chicago Illinois, 1976. ISBN 0-8092-8008-6. + + There are many viewpoints as to the future course of the telefone industry. +The general consensus among most Telco employees is that the children of AT&T +(i.e., the seven regional holding companies into which the Bell System was +divided) will someday be reassembled into the original Bell System, and all +will be well and good in the world of telecommunications again. I tend to +disagree with this. I think that within three decades the entire telefone +industry will be consolidated and nationalized. It will be owned and operated +entirely by the United States Federal Government. This will accomplish several +goals of the government. First, the immense revenue from telefone services +will provide great financial resources for the federal government. Rates for +telefone services will skyrocket far out of the range of affordability, quality +of service will deteriorate to a point of unusability, and meanwhile +politicians will get rich. + Second, once the government controls the telefone system, monitoring the +general public will become infinitely easier. Big Brother will be able to keep +and eye, or rather, an ear on the general population, and giant step forward in +ultimate government control of peoples' lives will be achieved. Most people +won't know anything about this, and even if they do, they won't give a shit +because by then the fucking government will have already invaded every +remaining private aspect of the individual's life. + To those who find it utterly unthinkable that the federal government would +ever assume control of the telefone industry, I would call attention to the +situation that existed between 1917 and 1919. During this time the government +controlled the phone system of the United States. J. Edward Hyde sums it up +beautifully: + + Between 1917 and 1919, the Federal Government did control the + phone industry. Since then, the most charitable historians have + blamed the subsequent mess on the First World War. Others blame + it on the democrats. But the fact is that it was a fiasco of + the bureaucracy's own making, combined with intracompany sabotage. + Today, in those countries where the phone service is nationally + owned, the service runs from poor to nonexistent. Would you want the + government that gave you the Russian wheat deals, Defense Department + overruns, Amtrak, and the Postal Service handling your phone + problems? + +From: Hyde, J.

If you decide to +anyway, and get caught, it could cost you up to 5 years of your life and +$10,000. This, you are all assuming, means that if you tap someone else's line, +you will be punished....wrong! You can't tap your own line either. The +punishment for this is probably no more than a slap on the hand, that is if +they actually catch you, but it's a good thing to know..............now on to +the fun..... + + PART II: TAPPING + +Everyone has at some time wanted to hear what a friend, the principal, the prom +queen, or a neighbor has to say on the phone. There are several easy ways to +tap into a phone line. None of the methods that I present will involve actually +entering the house. You can do everything from the backyard. I will discuss +four methods of tapping a line. They go in order of increasing difficulty. + +1. The "beige box": a beige box (or bud box) is actually better known as a +"lineman" phone. They are terribly simple to construct, and are basically the +easiest method to use. They consist of nothing more than a phone with the +modular plug that goes into the wall cut off, and two alligator clips attached +to the red and green wires. The way to use this box, is to venture into the +yard of the person you want to tap, and put it onto his line. This is best done +at the bell phone box that is usually next to the gas meter. It should only +have one screw holding it shut, and is very easily opened. Once you are in, you +should see 4 screws with wires attached to them. If the house has one line, +then clip the red lead to the first screw, and the green to the second. You are +then on the "tappee's" phone. You will hear any conversation going on. I +strongly recommend that you remove the speaker from the phone that you're using +so the "tappee" can't hear every sound you make. If the house has two lines, +then the second line is on screws three and four. If you connect everything +right, but you don't get on the line, then you probably have the wires +backward. Switch the red to the second screw and the green to the first. If no +conversation is going on, you may realize that you can't tap the phone very +well because you don't want to sit there all night, and if you are on the +phone, then the poor tappee can't dial out, and that could be bad...so....... +method two. + +2. The recorder: This method is probably the most widespread, and you still +don't have to be a genius to do it. There are LOTS of ways to tape +conversations. The two easiest are either to put a "telephone induction pickup" +(Radio Shack $1.99) on the beige box you were using, then plugging it into the +microphone jack of a small tape recorder, and leaving it on record. Or plugging +the recorder right into the line. This can be done by taking a walkman plug, +and cutting off the earphones, then pick one of the two earphone wires, and +strip it. There should be another wire inside the one you just stripped. Strip +that one too, and attach alligators to them. Then follow the beige box +instructions to tape the conversation. In order to save tape, you may want to +use a voice activated recorder (Radio Shack $59), or if your recorder has a +"remote" jack, you can get a "telephone recorder control" at Radio shack shack +for $19 that turns the recorder on when the phone is on, and off when the phone +is off. This little box plugs right into the wall (modularly of course), so it +is best NOT to remove the modular plug for it. Work around it if you can. If +not, then just do you best to get a good connection. When recording, it is good +to keep your recorder hidden from sight (in the Bell box if possible), but in a +place easy enough to change tapes from. + +3. The wireless microphone: this is the BUG. It transmits a signal from the +phone to the radio (FM band). You may remember Mr. Microphone (from Kaytel +fame); these wireless microphones are available from Radio Shack for $19. They +are easy to build and easy to hook up. There are so many different models, that +is is almost impossible to tell you exactly what to do. The most common thing +to do is to cut off the microphone element, and attach these two wires to +screws one and two. The line MIGHT, depending on the brand, be "permanently off +hook". This is bad, but by phucking around with it for a while, you should get +it working. There are two drawbacks to using this method. One, is that the poor +asshole who is getting his phone tapped might hear himself on "FM 88, the +principal connection". The second problem is the range. The store bought +transmitters have a VERY short range. I suggest that you build the customized +version I will present in part four (it's cheaper too). Now on to the best of +all the methods.... + +4. The "easy-talks": This method combines all the best aspects of all the the +other methods. It only has one drawback... You need a set of "Easy-talk" walkie +talkies. They are voice activated, and cost about $59. You can find 'em at toy +stores, and "hi-tech" catalogs. I think t(at any voice activated walkie talkies +will work, but I have only tried the easy-talks. First, you have to decide on +one for the "transmitter" and one for the "receiver". It is best to use the one +with the strongest transmission to transmit, even though it may receive better +also. De-solder the speaker of the "transmitter", and the microphone of the +"receiver". Now, go to the box. put the walkie talkie on "VOX" and hook the +microphone leads (as in method three) to the first and second screws in the +box. Now go home, and listen on your walkie talkie. If nothing happens, then +the phone signal wasn't strong enough to "activate" the transmission. If this +happens, there are two things you can do. One, add some ground lines to the +microphone plugs. This is the most inconspicuous, but if it doesn't work then +you need an amplifier, like a walkman with two earphone plugs. Put the first +plug on the line, and then into one of the jacks. Then turn the volume all the +way up (w/out pressing play). Next connect the second earphone plug to the mice +wires, and into the second earphone outlet on the walkman. Now put the whole +mess in the box, and lock it up. This should do the trick. It gives you a +private radio station to listen to them on: you can turn it off when something +boring comes on, and you can tape off the walkie talkie speaker that you have! + + PART IV: WIRELESS TRANSMITTER PLANZ + +This is a tiny transmitter that consists on a one colpitts oscillator that +derives it's power from the phone line. Since the resistance it puts on the +line is less than 100 ohms, it has no effect on the telephone performance, and +can not be detected by the phone company, or the tappee. Since it is a +low-powered device using no antenna for radiation, it is legal to the FCC. +(That is it complies with part 15 of the FCC rules and regulations). It, +however is still illegal to do, it's just that what you're using to do it is +legal. This is explained later in part 15... "no person shall use such a device +for eavesdropping unless authorized by all parties of the conversation" (then +it's not eavesdropping is it?). What this thing does, is use four diodes to +form a "bridge rectifier". It produces a varying dc voltage varying with the +auto-signals on the line. That voltage is used to supply the the voltage for +the oscillator transistor. Which is connected to a radio circuit. From there, +you can tune it to any channel you want. The rest will all be explained in a +minute.... + + + + + +PARTS LIST +item description +----------------------------------------------------------------- +C1 47-Pf ceramic disk capacitor +C2,C3 27-Pf mica capacitor +CR1,CR2,CR3,CR4 germanium diode 1n90 or equivalent +R1 100 ohm, 1/4 watt 10% composition resistor +R2 10k, 1/4 watt 10% composition resistor +R3 .7k, 1/4 watt 10% composition resistor +L1 2 uH radio frequency choke (see text) +L2 5 turns No.20 wire (see text) +Q1 Npn rf transistor 2N5179 or equivalent +----------------------------------------------------------------- + +L1 may be constructed by winding approximately 40 turns of No. 36 +enamel wire on a mega-ohm, 1/2 watt resistor.

Then attach +wire 'B' to the screw itself. You can adjust the frequency which it comes out +on the FM channel by either smooshing, or widening the coils of L2. It takes a +few minutes to get to work right, but it is also very versatile. You can change +the frequency at will, and you can easily record off your radio. + + PART FIVE: HELPFUL HINTS + + +First of all, With method one, the beige box, you may notice that you can also +dial out on the phone you use. I don't recommend that you do this. If you +decide to anyway, and do something conspicuous like set up a 30 person +conference for three hours, then I suggest that you make sure the people are +either out of town or dead. In general, when you tap a line, you must be +careful. I test everything I make on my line first, then install it late at +night. I would not recommend that you leave a recorder on all day. Put it on +when you want it going, and take it off when you're done. As far as recording +goes, I think that if there is a recorder on the line it sends a sporadic beep +back to the phone co. I know that if you don't record directly off the line +(i.e off your radio) then even the most sophisticated equipment can't tell that +you're recording. Also, make sure that when you install something, the people +are NOT on the line. Installation tends to make lots of scratchy sounds, clicks +and static. It is generally a good thing to avoid. It doesn't take too much +intelligence to just make a call to the house before you go to install the +thing. If it's busy then wait a while. (This of course does not apply if you +are making a "midnight run"). + +All in all, if you use common sense, and are *VERY* careful, chances are you +won't get caught. Never think that you're unstoppable, and don't broadcast what +you're doing. Keep it to yourself, and you can have a great time. + + -[ OVERLORD ]- + + + +X-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-X + Another file downloaded from: The NIRVANAnet(tm) Seven + + & the Temple of the Screaming Electron Taipan Enigma 510/935-5845 + Burn This Flag Zardoz 408/363-9766 + realitycheck Poindexter Fortran 510/527-1662 + Lies Unlimited Mick Freen 801/278-2699 + The New Dork Sublime Biffnix 415/864-DORK + The Shrine Rif Raf 206/794-6674 + Planet Mirth Simon Jester 510/786-6560 + + "Raw Data for Raw Nerves" +X-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-X diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/elevate.phk b/textfiles.com/phreak/elevate.phk new file mode 100644 index 00000000..ca9c060f --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/elevate.phk @@ -0,0 +1,34 @@ + + Elevator Phreaking + ________ _________ + + By The Rebel(TTL) + + + Ok....

ELITE + + BOARDS + ============ + ELITE boards exist because the people who populate them, believe them- +selves to be superior to the people populating all the other boards. Most +people don't agree with them, but they agree with each other. 100-200 people +being sufficient to set up their own personal version of the world, they gather +together on these ELITE boards and do ELITE things like post new wares, engage +in "rag wars" and type things up out of manuals at each other. + SYSOPS + ====== + Seeing how you're trying to get access to an ELITE board, you should have +a basic understand of who the Sysop is, and why he's running the board. This +part is easy, in over 95% of all cases, the Sysop is a egotistical fool, who is +willing to give up the use of his computer, or computers, in exchange for the +privledge of playing god with the hopeless sots who log in. + This is especially the case on all manner of ELITE boards that request a +"real" telephone number, voice validation, and the donation of your first born +male child for even higher access. All under the guise of "security". +Requesting a "real" voice number, or even name, is nothing that unusual. Almost +all "mainstream" non-Pirate and non-Phreak systems require it. Of course there +is nothing stopping you from leaving them Anal Annie's phone sex service as your +home number, and picking a random name. That will usually be the end of that. +The only time the Sysop will ever check into your information will be if you +happen to become a "rodent" and annoy him and/or the users of his BBS, in which +case he'll engage you in a 20 letter conversation, each one giving a really +sincere and heartening reason why you would feel so much better if you gave him +your phone number, and why he just HAS to have it for reasons you wouldn't +understand, because ALL Sysops MUST keep track of who uses their systems, don't +ya know? + This file won't cover "normal" Sysops, because if you aren't capable of +bullshitting THEM, then you're hopeless and may as well find a new hobby. Like +gardening is pretty exciting I hear, fer instance... + + "VOICE" NUMBERS + =============== + The truth is: there is no reason on earth, why a Sysop should EVER need +your voice number, or any information on you at all. Naturally he'll WANT it, +because being the kind of person who runs a bbs in the first place, he's a nosy +and prying kind of guy that want's to know everything about you. For reasons of +"board security" of course. + Let me tell you about "board security:" it doesn't exist! When a system +is "secure" all that means is that the Sysop has lulled himself into a false +sense of safety that bears little relation to the actual state of his board. But +that's beside the point. The point being that you DON'T want to hear from the +Sysop; EVER. One of the reasons they give for "needing" your voice number is: +"well if there's ever something wrong with the bbs, I need to be able to let you +know, or ask you what commands you used if you were the last user before it +crashed". Isn't that nice... How many Sysop's notify their users when their +board goes down "for repairs"? NOT ONE. As for problems, well what do I care? +The last thing I want is Melvin Sysop calling me up when I'm watching Miami Vice +and trying to have a 5 hour conversation with me because he has nothing else to +do with his time. Or better still, having my phone number embedded in his +software when the Secret Service busts down his door because he carded 50 hard +drives to his home address. + I know many Sysops, some of them are even my friends. These are the +kinds of things Sysops do with their userlists. Of course ALL of them will +CLAIM that other Sysops might do that, but THEY never would, god no, not them! + +FAVORITE SYSOP USES FOR USERS TELEPHONE NUMBERS +=============================================== + I. When any "new ware" is released (and he happens to be a Pirate kind of + guy), Sysops go through every name on the userlist, call them up and + ask for the new ware. If you don't have the new ware, or just say you + don't in the hopes that he will fuck off, he will then proceed to bug + the hell out of you by asking for 50 other wares that he just has to + have. + + II. If he's an ELITE PHREAK kinda guy and some national emergency takes + place such as his favorite 800 dying on him; he does the same thing + as the Pirate type Sysop and calls everyone on the userlist begging + for 800's, "any cool info", and pw's to CIS. + + III. More so with Phreaks than Pirates, but somewhat true for all of them: + The Sysop want's an update on some latest tidbit of hot gossip that + he will just die if he doesn't find out. He will then try to have + another 5 hour conversation with you about whatever drivel he called + you up to discuss. + + IV. Some people trade baseball cards, some people trade comics, some + people trade phone numbers. Sysops LOVE to trade phone numbers, + especially those of "influential" users. I don't know why, they + usually lack the balls to even call them beyond the customary dial, + wait for some person's voice, then slam the phone down and go jerk + off because all that excitement gave them a hard-on. This is very + much to your benefit as I'll explain a little further down. + + V. And worst of all, there is the "lonely Sysop", the guy who will call + you every "day" at 2 in the morning and try to have an engaging + conversation about whatever happened in his "life" that day. + + There are many other things Sysops do with your number, but as far as I'm +concerned, those were the worst. OK, I'm going on and on about why a Sysop has +no need for your number, and how he'll annoy you to death if he ever gets it, so +YOU know that now, but what do you do about it? + GETTING VALIDATED + ================= + There is no big trick to being validated. In almost every case, the +Sysop asking for a voice number, is just his usual hoopla and he'll never bother +to check out anything you give him that passes as "information". If you leave a +reasonably intelligent copy of feedback, kiss his ass in a sublime kind of way, +and in general explain to him why having you on his bbs will make his life much +better than it is now; you'll be validated with normal access. + Uploading new wares or files, posting messages, and drivel along those +lines, will get your access raised. You can also bullshit for higher access, +but I'm assuming YOU don't know how, which is why you're reading this file to +begin with. BULLSHITTING is an artform and I have neither the time or patience +to type up a file on it, so I'm doing this instead. + + EXAMPLE PIRATE BOARD FEEDBACK + ============================= + Hello, I'm the Masked Avocado. I just got your bbs #, from an +advertisement that was posted on Capital Connection. I liked what the message +had to say, so I called to check your board out. I can contribute new +software, programming help, and anything that might help to enhance your bbs. +I also distribute for Coast to Coast and Digital Gang. My latest wares include: +MultiScribe //gs 2.1.2.4 HiggyBBS 6.2 Deluxe Paint Print Plus 2.1 By the way, +my first name is Melvin, I'm 13^H^H19, and my system is made up of an enhanced +//e, 212 applecat, 3.5 drive and a bunch of peripherals. Thanks for your time, +Melvin + Let's examine that and highlight a few points. + I. ALWAYS use decimel points when describing new wares. Copy ][+ has a + revision every 2 weeks that does nothing except update the parm files. + NEW WARES! have constant updates and "Pirates" are always on the lookout + to increase the decimel point revision of their software. Even if it + does NOTHING different EXCEPT change the decimel point. Aside from the + fact that feedback is just bullshit to get you validated, you can very + easily get a sector editor up and change a few decimel points yourself. + II. ALWAYS say you got his BBS # from some established ELITE board, in the + case of Pirates, Capital Connection is always a good bet. In reality + it's quite a lame board, but other board Sysops seem to feel otherwise, + and besides instantly impressing the Sysop of the board you're logging + into (by being a member of CapCon), he will also get a kick out of it + that some idiot posted his board on the CapCon "BBS Ads" section. + +[Please note that "Capital Connection" was valid at this file's original +incept date over a year ago. The average Pirate board having a lifespan +of 6 months at best; Capital Connection no longer exists. The current +Elite Pirate board of the next 6 months, is "Trade Center."] + + III. Among your list of "new wares" you can always list some BBS program, + because every week some dork writes a new program, that is lousy, never + works right, and if ever faced with "put up or shut up" you can change + around any one of 50 different BBS programs, and upload it as the NEW + WARE! +[Same with software as with boards -- it doesn't stay new very long. +I can't help you here because I haven't the slighest idea what's new in +Apple software. However, all you need to do is invest 3 bucks in the +latest issue of whatever magazine pertains to your particular computer, +and list off some of the software you see advertised.] + + IV.Always say you distribute for some random collection of new wares groups. + Nobody can prove that you don't (logging into one cat-fur and uploading + the wares you found on it, to another cat-fur, is distributing) and it + will make the Sysop think that you'll be uploading 20 sided GS wares to + his board every day. +[As you may have guessed, new wares groups also come and go. Digital Gang +still exists, as do a slew of new groups; if you don't know of any, a safe bet +is making up a name and saying that you're based somewhere in Europe. Europe +being the fabled birthplace of all the best new Atari and Amiga software in +particular.] + V. Always list "your" first name and age. Make up an age that is over 16 so + they won't discriminate against you. If you're under 16 and admit it in + your feedback, you'll be instantly labeled an idiot. + + VI. Always list some of your hardware. Don't ask me why, it's just another + item in the agenda of things that Sysops like to pry into. If you give + them this information without them asking for it, it makes them feel + better. + + VII. Always end the message with a "thanks for your time". Remember, he's an + egotistical fool, and that one line makes him think you respect him, + want to do things for him, and would be genuinely happy to be a member + of his AWESOME board. + + VIII. ALWAYS sign it with "your" first name, this keeps the tone informal, + and makes you seem like a less threatening type of guy. + + GENERAL TIPS + ============ + Remember that many Pirate boards have a "VOTE ON NEW USERS" feature, so +don't say anything that you wouldn't want the entire world to read. If you +follow those basic guidelines, you'll ALWAYS get validated if the rest of your +information is right. The rest being your phone # if the Sysop actually calls +new users. + Some of you are saying to yourselves: Yeah, but if you just listed all of +this, won't Sysops be on the lookout for this kind of feedback? Yeah, but then +who are they going to validate? "Obvious" rodents? No, if they want new users +then they'll be more than happy to accept you. + + EXAMPLE PHREAK BOARD FEEDBACK + ============================= +Greetings, + I'm Tesla Coil of The Crossbar Rapists (TC of TCR). I was told by a user +of Metal Shoppe Private (MSP), that your bbs was worth looking into. I've been +published in TAP, 2600, and Uncle Mel's Phone Times. My handle was listed in +issue 12 of Security Systems of Greater Podunk (SSoGP) as a "Computer genius +breaks into Podunk's Private Database!" I've been hacking since 1981, I was a +member of Sherwood Forest, Securityland, The AT&T Phone Center, OSUNY, OSUNY +when it went back up, WOPR, LOD the BBS, Cryton, COSMOS, Metal Shoppe Private, +and OSUNY when it came back for yet another go at it. + I had to change my handle for reasons of security when I was taken out by +the feds in the 1983 414 busts. + I'm an expert with Unix, RSTS, Primos, and HiggyOS. I can program in C, +D, E, and F, Fortran 77 and 78, Basic for the Cyber, IBM, MAC, Amiga, ST, and +Apple II. I also know assembly for the 6502, 8088, 68020, Z-80a, and TIMEX. + I have an Apple //e, IBM AT, Mac+, and Kim-A1. + After entering college last year, my time was seriously limited. But +after getting some additional free time, I've decided to restart my hobby of +hacking and exploring the phone system. My current interest centers around the +understanding of the myriad functions associated with CLID. + People who can reccommend me include: (Pick 4 or 5 names of people who +aren't really ELITE, but not unknown to current ELITE Sysops either. If you +can't think of them, pick up any issue of Phrack and take a few out of there. +The reason you want "not really ELITE" people, is because they won't command too +much attention. You DON'T WANT excess attention, saying that some dork who +writes for Phrack recommends you, is less noticible than saying some "real" +ELITE recommends you. Why say ANYONE recommends you, if it's so much trouble? +Because it somehow flips a switch in the Sysop's mind, which makes him think +that you must be an OK dude, if so and so recommends you. 9 out of 10 times he +won't check. The 1 time he does check, the person he's bothering will usually +say "yeah yeah, go away I'm doing something" and that'll be the end of it). + +[Please note that by "real elite" I don't mean anyone who is better, rather I +mean someone who has spent tremendous amounts of time generating exposure for +his handle.] + + Thanks for you time, Tesla Coil/The Crossbar Rapists Let's examine this one +too. + I. As you can see we've switched from 40 columns, to 80 columns complete + with some form of spacing. We've also gotten a little bit more-let's + say-"readable" than in our previous Pirate feedback example. This is + because we're calling a different kind of system, with a different + program than cat-fur ENHANCED 1.1! + + II. With Phreak Sysops you don't want to get too informal, because most of + them are busy playing SECRET AGENT MAN! and if you do something normal + like sign off with "your" first name, he'll think you're not being + "professional". How it is in his mind that he equates "professional" + with calling his board: I don't know, but trust me on this point. III. + In the same vein of "professionalism", you're expected to list off your + "accomplishments". Oddly enough, in Phreak/Hacker HIERARCHY, getting + arrested numerous times is considered ELITE by many of it's peoples. Why + this is, I don't know either. Personally, it says to me that the person + who got arrested has the brains of an african bushman, but apparently, + that's just my lone opinion. Anyhow, in line with this PROFESSIONAL + attitude you are expected to list your life's accomplishments in the + space of 50-100 lines, in a form that will make you sound like the best + Hacker in the world, who is so good, that logically he wouldn't be + caught dead calling the ELITE board you're calling, but once again + skipping the logic and getting back to the Sysops expectations... IV. + +OK continuing with the thought we started...III: list off a bunch of + languages, knowing them is optional, because the Sysop doesn't know them + either. Reading the dust jacket and index on a book covering any of + those subjects will enable you to APPEAR to know what you're doing, + which is all that the Sysop is doing, so don't worry about it, because + he doesn't know vi from cd, and couldn't INFILTRATE a Unix if he had the + root account. If you don't want to spend $5000 stocking up on ELITE + TECHNICAL MANUALS, go down to the library and xerox a bunch of index's. + Or better yet, just check out the books and never return them (if your + library lets you check out reference manuals. Most don't, but you can + always rip out that little magnetic sensor in the card on the book and + walk out with it anyway, but I digress...). + + V.After you've done that, list a bunch of micro-specific assembly langauges + that you "know," and in general just make up things until you've filled + up around 2 paragraphs or so. 95% of ELITE PHREAKING/HACKING is just + posing anyway, so don't feel guilty about it or let it worry you too much + because that's the same way 9/10th of the board got access. Unless they + were ELITE, which is just posing to a higher degree than most bother to + go with. + + VI. Remember to say WHERE YOU GOT THE # FROM! This is because like I said + before, most Phreaks are busy playing SECRET AGENT MAN and will get an + ulcer and lay awake at night thinking that CABLE PAIR is infiltrating + their board. You know it isn't true, but the Sysop will wet his pants + anyway, so just put his mind at rest and make up some place where you + got the number from. Metal Shoppe is always a safe bet, because it's + the Phreak dumping ground of ELITENESS, much like CapCon is the +Pirate's equivalent. Be sure to use vague terms like "I was told by a +user of..." and things of that nature that can't be readily verified, +but still sound plausible. + +[Ahem, sorry to interrupt again, but as you may have guessed, MSP is down +at this time. MSP's new replacement is the Legion of Doom base BBS that +goes by the name of "Digital Logic." A large percentage of the users +there are under phony handles that gained entry by exactly the type of +bullshitting I'm writing about in this article. The remaining phony +accounts got access by threatening the Sysop with "Phreak retaliation" and +having him cave into demands; which for a LOD board is about par for +course.] + + + VII. Next make up your "writing credits" and "media credits". Select a few + random issues of random magazines that you either wrote for, or had your + alias' mentioned in. Make sure they're of the small circulation type and + the issue is at least 2 years old. Nobody will ever check or even have a + way of checking if they wanted to. Most people who "wrote" things just + rephrased tech manuals and copied the illustrations. If you're ever + pressured to come up with something YOU wrote, just do the same thing + because that's what all the other ELITES are busy doing. Be sure to run + it through a spelling checker so it looks PROFESSIONAL as ELITE PHREAKS + are fond of looking and thinking of themselves. + + VIII. Next list off a bunch of ELITE BOARDS you've been a member of. Listing + those that I just listed are a safe bet, because they're famous or as the + case may be: infamous, to such a degree that the Sysop will have heard of + them. He wouldn't have been on them, so he won't be able to verify that + either. The reason he wouldn't have been on them, is because he hasn't + been ELITE longer than 2 years, otherwise he wouldn't be running a board + If he HAS been ELITE for longer than two years, and IS still running a + board, then he's an idiot and you can safely assume that he wouldn't + have been on them anyway. Not that being an idiot disqualifies anyone + from being a member of anything, but APPEARING to be an idiot will do + that. COSMOS is ALWAYS a great bet, because it just sounds so PHONESY! + Plus there have been half a dozen COSMOS' in the last year alone, so he + won't know which one, even if none of them have ever been FAMOUS! IX. + If you're such a swell guy, and have been around so long, he might wonder + what you've been doing with yourself for the last 6 months - 1 year. So + just make up some half-witted excuse like the one I listed. Then include + something about your current "interests." All you need to remember about + that is include "CLID" (Calling Line ID), "BLV" (Busy Line Verify), or + any other semi-interesting acronym out of a USO coding manual. Obviously + you don't need to know anything about it beyond the fact that such an + acronym actually exists and you know about its existence. If questioned + further, just bring down the "veil of secrecy" and become mysterious and + evasive about it. This will instantly go great lengths towards improving + your status on a board. + + X. References have been covered in the parenthesis in the feedback itself, + so I hope I don't need to get into it again here. + + XI. ELITE Phreak/Hacker boards also expect "freebies" from you the potential + user, to the Sysop. Both as a "test" of your "skill" and as a kind of + ass kissing. Freebies can include COSMOS PW'S! which are easy, because + there are like 10 of them which people have been listing for the last 5 + years, which haven't worked for 4 1/2 years, but people still list them. + Which makes me conclude that people never use them, they just write them + down and repost them every 6 months. Or CIS accounts, or some good 800's + or anything of "value". You don't really need to include any of this, + but if you can it makes you look "better". NEVER, EVER give the Sysop + ANYTHING of any value that you might want to use in the future, because + if it's of any worth he will immediately do something stupid to make it + stop working. That you can COUNT ON! + + XII. Close it up with the ususal "Thanks for your time", but sign it with + your full handle, followed by group. PROFESSIONAL! [Giggle] + + GENERAL TIPS + ============ + OK, now that I've got you psyched at how easy it is: the bad news. The +bad news is like this: In order to be an ELITE Pirate, you don't have to know +ANYTHING, PERIOD, AT ALL, EVER. All you need to be able to do is operate your +copy of cat-fur with reasonable dexterity and spend 2-5 hours of each day calling +things and uploading NEW WARES. If you can program, so much the better because +then it's eaisier to join the ELITEST ELITE of piracy: the Cracker's. Now I know +you're thinking it's stupid to have ELITE people who aren't good at anything, but +I never claimed the world was a sensible place. + With PHREAKING (let me just say that when I say PHREAKING I also mean to +include HACKING) you are expected to APPEAR to know how things work. Now that is +a little tricky. It's tricky because ELITE boards like to have FILTER'S. A kind +of "front door/quiz" combination. The trouble with that is, that the Sysop +doesn't really know what he's doing either and will take the questions out of an +ELITE FILE. The problem is that the ELITE FILE might not have been accurate, so +even if you know the answer, you might not know the answer that the Sysop is +expecting, and-as far as the Sysop is concerned-is the "RIGHT" answer. This +means that you had better stop laughing at those stupid files and deleating them, +because if you want to get access someplace, you might need them for something +besides "god, is he stupid!" jokes! + + "HOME" PHONE NUMBERS - AND HOW TO DEFEAT THEM + ============================================= + OK, so now you know how to get validated, what to say and how to act. Let +me get you past the last and only "real" hurdle to access to everything you +desire. + Let me say it right now: Voice validation is a load of crap. It doesn't +work, it never has worked and it never will work. But is sure makes +Sysop's feel good, and being the egotistical fools that they are, they're going +to make you go through this bullshit to get access. + I would NOT suggest leaving an infinite busy as your home number. This +works on legitimate boards, but I don't know any underground board Sysops that +are THAT stupid. + + METHOD 1 + ======== Leave a telephone number of a random person from your +"computer buddy!" phone list. When the Sysop calls, he'll get a human voice +that will say HELLO in a annoyed kind of tone. Confirming the existence of a +human being at the other end of the telephone number you just gave him, the +Sysop will assume no reason to doubt you, and slam down the phone because he's +not good at starting conversations with people he's never talked to before. + + METHOD 2 + ======== + Find a kid at school who you're friends with. Explain the general idea of +"boards" to him, tell him you need his help in breaking into some secret FBI +computer system. All he has to do is say "yes" to the questions you're going to +write down for him, and claim to be the person on the piece of paper you're +giving him. + This is really almost ideal if your friend isn't the stupid type that +stutters and can't lie. If he can lie and doesn't care, then you're all set for +the rest of your modem existence! + + METHOD 3 + ======== + TODO- | INSERT CALL-FORWARDING # TO # PROCEDURE USING SCCS | + + METHOD 4 + ======== + TODO- | VOICE MAIL / ANSWERING SERVICES | + +YOUR NEW PERSONNA -- HOLDING IT TOGETHER AND MAKING IT WORK +=========================================================== + This is really basic. It's so basic that almost nobody I know ever +bothers to sketch in the details and can be tripped up when you ask an off- +handed question that in theory has no significance, but in actuality causes him +to say "uh, well" and pause for a few seconds while he tries to think of +something. Only very good bullshit artists can glibly pull it off when you +"catch them off guard" but even then they will frequently forget what they told +you in the past if you bring it up again a few days later. + What I'm talking about is the "new you" complete with name, address, tn, +state, zip code, street number, general weather of the area, brothers, sisters, +physical description, SS#, job, marital status, birthday, age, education, +"underground" history, etc... In short, you are creating an entire new person +who should have a real life entirely seperate from your own. In order to pull +this off you need to think of all these things before-hand, and if you're new at +this, don't get carried away by pretending to be 20 people all at once. Just +make up ONE concrete personality whose existence you can justify, and then type +it up, print it out, and tape it to the wall in front of you so it's ALWAYS +there, because the time when you least expect it, is the time you're going to +need it the most. As you get better you'll find you can juggle an almost +infinite number of these alter-ego's in your head, but don't get over-confident +too fast or you WILL blow something that you're working hard at right now. + + IMPERSONATING OTHER PEOPLE + ========================== + Every year the "underground" community mirrors the legitimate modem world +and gets exponentially larger. Instead of everybody knowing everyone else, +there is now a huge collection of people who don't know anything about anyone who +existed 5 years ago; last year; or even last month. This works greatly to your +advantage because it saves you the effort of slapping together your own files. +All you need to do is log some handle into the system you wish to access; upload +a few files written by the person or persons you are about to impersonate; wait a +few days; now login the person whose identity you wish to assume. Quite simple. + In the past few months I have actually passed myself off as BIOC Agent +003, Lord Digital, Lex Luthor and assorted past and present members of LOD, +Apple Bandit and various other Apple Pirates of yore, and several dozen other +people. Two years ago I could never have gotten away with this unless I was +calling some board in the middle of nowhere. Nowadays it's possible, even easy, +to impersonate almost anyone who has ever made some kind of mark on the history +of the underground in the past; simply because the people you're going to be +dealing with were NOT around a few years ago and have no idea who any of these +people are. When confronted with a "famous" user, they will never in their +wildest dreams assume that he's a fake; the only thing they will be thinking is +how neat it is to have him on their BBS once you let them know who he is. +You can easily make up a new character who never existed outside of your profile +of him, but this requires more work on your part when it's much simpler to just +pretend being someone else. NONE of those people will EVER turn up on that +particular board, and even if they did you should be able to convince the Sysop +that YOU are him and he is the fake. Amusing to say the least. + In case you're letting some last vestiges of morality creep in, remember +that the people you're going to be impersonating are not hallowed icons. They +are just guys who spent an inordinate amount of time building up their image to +such a degree that countless little kids think they're cool and a few misguided +-- and blessedly free of intellect -- security people, think they're dangerous. +Not to forget the fact that aside from LODdies, none of them will ever be seen on +a board again, so if you fear "Phreak retaliation;" don't worry about it. Nobody +can do anything to you if they don't know who you are. The previous +paragraph exists solely to galvanize otherwise recaltricent and cowardly +pre-teens into taking some kind of action and having fun. + + SAFETY - GETTING BUSTED! + ======================== + People who get caught for doing something they shouldn't have been doing, +are apprehended for one of two reasons: They are either cretins, which covers +the vast majority of those "busted," or they are not good judges of character and +spend their time associating with "friends" who do stupid things, and will drag +you down with them when they really fuck up. Which WILL happen at some point to +most of the people who convince themselves "it's just fun." + The "underground" IS fun, but looking at it from the eyes of those whose +job it is to keep track of you, it stops being fun and you should realize that +many of the things you take for granted -- be they free calls, free software, +whatever, -- are against the law. And if you give people the oppurtunity to hurt +you -- ESPECIALLY when they are placed in such a position that by busting you +they increase their own status in whatever field they are employed in -- then you +are going to get hurt! + Many of you hate all the "narcs" and "sting boards" and whatever new +bullshit the people arrayed against you come up with. You SHOULDN'T! Cable Pair +and the rest are nothing more than the underground's personal garbage collection +agency. Rather then thinking of them as people who are some kind of hinderence +to you, it's far more logical to think of them as glorified trash collectors; +which is about all they are. Every so often some new sting is exposed, and the +underground is rid of a boardfull of annoying kids that were stupid enough to +login someplace with real names, numbers, and addresses. Are you really going to +miss this kind of genius? + If you ALWAYS use the methods outlined in this article, then your chances +of getting caught for anything will dramatically decrease. Who are they going to +find when every single piece of information you gave them is a lie. None of your +modem friends can take you down with them, if they don't know who you are. It's +as simple as that. + Naturally this is more difficult than it sounds due to the fact that many +of you will want to make friends with people, and that's hard to do when +everything the other person knows about you is a lie. At this point you just +have to use your best judgement concerning your further actions. +Personally I find it best to associate with a small group of friends who really +are "friends" not just "computer buddies." Because if you pick your friends well +they will never fuck you over. Meanwhile when some kid you know only over the +phone, who lives in another state, gets caught... He is going to be more than +happy to throw them anyone and anything he can think of just to get off himself; +and that will include YOU. The "Hacker ethic" is a nice joke that I personally +DO NOT subscribe to, and even those that pay lip service to such a concept, will +throw their ideals away pretty fast when it's their neck on the line instead of +some hallowed principle thought up by aging hippies. + + THE END + ======= + What can I say? I hope you have a good time if this is the way in which +you choose to waste your time. And a great big "I love you" to the media dudes +who actually called up 2600 magazine asking about "Marbles BBS." Where would we +be without you?

The most active pirates/phreaks are 13-15 years old. + + 2. Although many of them are really nice people, very few can write correct + English. + + I have no idea whether the latter problem is caused by the former, but after +reading nearly one hundred articles that are widely distributed on national +bulletin boards, I've decided to do something to help solve the problem. In +this tutorial I've attempted to put forth some of the most fundamental rules of +English so that even the worst aspiring writers can at least avoid some of the +most embarrassing kinds of typos. + + BEFORE YOU ABORT THIS ARTICLE please hear me out. I'm not trying to rag on +thirteen year-olds and I'm not seriously playing English teacher. All I'm +trying to do is upgrade the quality of communication around here. It would also +be nice if I didn't have to run every file I downloaded through a spelling +checker and a word processor to remove the most childish and embarrassing typos. +I won't even attempt to teach you good writing style (I'm still working on that +myself) but perhaps I can show you how to write a grammatically correct +T-File... + + * * * + + Deadly Sins: + + * Forgetting the apostrophe (') in contractions: dont -> don't, cant -> can't + + * Confusing TO, TOO and TWO. Although most BBS'ers know how to use TWO, +confusion still reigns supreme on use of the others. To summarize: + + *Distinguish between the preposition TO from the adverb TOO and the numeral +TWO. If it isn't too cold, I will take my two poodles to the park." + + *Remember, TOO refers to a matter of degree. "This tutorial is TOO much." + + * Confusing OUR and ARE. They may sound quite alike, but OUR is an adjective. +Don't ever be caught writing, "Save are sanity!" + + * It's and its are two different words. It's is a contraction of IT IS, while +its in a possessive in + + the style of OURS. + + * Misspellings. In this computer age of spelling checkers and massive +software piracy, most of us should have access to a spelling checker. If you +do, use it. If not, do it the old-fashioned way: proofread what you write. +Remember that if you write a text file and it is posted on a board such as The +Safehouse, hundreds, perhaps thousands will read it. At that point, you might +as well be a published author; and you should attempt to meet publishing +standards for grammar and spelling. + + If these rules would be observed by every person who used a BBS, I would die a +happy man. However, here are some more miscellaneous rules and considerations +for those of you who intend to write text files for posting. Most are rules for +typing. + + * Indent each paragraph five spaces. Three is commonly used for bookprint, +but Hodges' Harbrace College Handbook says to use five. I'm with Hodge. + + * Use one space after a comma and two after a period or other mark of definite +punctuation. + + * Go easy on the hyphen (-). + + * Try to express your thoughts in complete sentences. What is a complete +sentence? According to common usage, it is ONE complete thought beginning with +a capital letter and ending with a mark of definite punctuation. + + * Whenever possible, format your text files for something like seventy +columns, lowercase. Why? By now, most people can display lowercase characters, +so let's use them. Most of us also print our files, thus the long carriage +width. I prefer seventy columns over eighty as a seventy column page can be +printed leaving proper margins to either side. In addition, these files can be +read by a standard word processor without reformatting. + + * A personal note which I don't doubt will be disregarded: Folks, L8R0N and +its ilk are silly. Yes, silly. So are embedded text graphics and signing your +name to a letter using ten lines of text graphics. + + * Lastly, a word on "Standard Pirate" usage of certain terms: PHreak and +PHile are spelled as such as both presumably have something to do with the +PHone. If a PHile does not have to do with PHreaking, it should be spelled with +an F. Crack and krack are used interchangeably, although I prefer crack. + + That's all for now. If any of you find errors in this text, feel free to +report them to me, gloating as appropriate. An open sneer is appropo for +misspellings or personal violation of any of the "Deadly Sins" mentioned above, +while an air of haughty snobbishness is all you get to use if I've broken any +other rules of good writing. + + -The Doktor, January 8, 1985 (Yes, I'm the same one who put the verse of T.S. +Elliot on his crack of Firebug). +--------------------------------------- +Call The Works BBS - 1600+ Textfiles! - [914]/238-8195 - 300/1200 - Always Open + \ No newline at end of file
