The procedure for placing a long distance call is +now above the understanding level of a good proportion of the public, and +the various companies are doing very little to educate them. Thus this +attempt to inform the reader what new evil lives at the other end of his +pair. + +In areas that are now equal access, it is possible to place a long distance +call using any of the carriers who will complete it for you. You do *not* +have to have previously set up an account with the carrier, as in the past. +They will complete the call and pass the billing back to your local +operating company [LOC], which in turn bills you for the call. So to place +the call via the "alternate" carrier, you pick up and dial: + +10nnn + 1 + area code + number + +The nnn is magic: it allows you to select a different carrier for that +call. There are a zillion little Mom-n-Pop carriers in different areas, +but here are some of the major ones whose access codes should be fairly +consistent. + +220 Western Union ;; consistently bad audio 90% of the time +222 MCI ;; duplexey lines sometimes +288 AT&T ;; you know the story +333 U.S.Telecom ;; reasonably ok +444 Allnet ;; a major reseller of others' services +488 ITT ;; *bad* audio, useless for modems +777 GTE Sprint ;; usually good quality -- rivals AT&T + +When you complete a call this way, via a carrier who "doesn't know who you +are", you are referred to as a "casual caller". Most of the major carriers +will complete casual calls. The smaller ones usually want an access code +and a pre-existing account. Note that all this is perfectly legal and +nobody is going to come pound on your door and demand your firstborn for +making your calls this way. The fun part starts when one considers that +this two-stage billing process involves a lot of red tape and paper +shuffling, and the alternate [i.e. not AT&T] carriers often have poorly +designed software. This can often lead to as much as a 6-month lag time +between when you make the call and when you get the bill for it. There is +a chance that you won't get billed for some calls at all, especially real +short ones. And if you do get billed, the rates will be reasonable. Note +that if you don't have an account with a given company, you won't be able +to take advantage of any bulk rates they offer for their known customers. + +It is likely that for this reason, i.e. all the mess involved in getting +the billing properly completed, that the local Bell companies are +attempting to *suppress* knowledge of this. Notice that when you get your +equal access carrier ballots, nowhere do they mention the fact that you can +"tenex" dial, i.e. 10nnn, through other carriers. They want you to pick +one and set it up as your 1+ carrier so you don't have to learn anything +new. Now, it's already highly likely that the little carriers will fold +and get sucked up by AT&T and eventually everything will work right again, +but this policy is pushing the process along. The majority of people +aren't going to want to deal with shopping around for carriers, are going +to choose AT&T because it's what they've come to trust, and their lines are +still the best quality anyway. However, the more people become casual +callers, the more snarled up the billing process is going to become, and +the resulting chaos will have many effects, one of which may be free calls +for the customers, and the carriers and LOCs being forced to either +straighten up their acts, disable casual calls and lose business, or +knuckle under completely. + +So where can you get more info about equal access, if not from your local +company? You call 1 800 332 1124, which AT&T will happily complete for +you, and talk to the special consumer awareness group dedicated to helping +people out with equal access. They will send you, free of charge, a list +of all the carriers which serve your area, with their access codes, +customer service numbers, billing structure, and lots of other neat info. +The LOCs will give out this number, but only under duress. They will *not* +give out any information about other carriers, including what ones serve +your central office, so you shouldn't even bother trying. It's apparently +been made a universal company policy, which is ridiculous, but the case. + +Let's get into some of the technical aspects of this. First off, you might +ask, why 10nnn? Well, it could have been 11nnn too, but it wasn't. If you +think about it, other numbers could be mis-parsed as the beginnings of area +codes. 3-digit carrier codes also leaves plenty of room for expansion +[haw!]. Some of the carriers won't complete casual calls, and may even +give recordings to the effect of "invalid access code". Basically when you +$ek this way, your central office simply passes the entire packet +containing your number and the number you want to call to the carrier and +lets the carrier deal with it. You'll notice that this process takes +longer for some of the carriers. The carriers have differing database +structures and hardware, so it takes some time to figure out if it knows +who the calling number is, if bulk rates apply, and a few other things. +While it's doing this search, you get silence. What's a lot of fun is that +in areas that have recently gone equal access, the central offices do this +exact same process for public phones. And since the carrier usually has no +idea of what a public phone is, it happily completes the call for you as +though you dialed it from home. It is unclear who gets the resulting bill +from this, but it usually doesn't take them long to fix it. It's +conceivable that the carriers can hold numbers to *not* complete calls from +in their database, as well as regular customer numbers. + +Some carriers also handle 0+ calls. If you dial 10nnn 0+ instead of 1+, +the office will hand it off as usual, and you'll be connected to the +carrier's switch, which gives you a tone. You are expected to enter your +authorization code at this point, and then off the call goes. This is so +you can complete equal-access style calls from friends' phones and use your +own billing. It also requires that you have an account with the carrier +already and an authorization code to use. Some carriers, in places where +the public phone bug has been fixed, will handle 1+ calls from them this +way as well. This mechanism introduces a security hole, because it's real +easy to determine the length of a valid authorization code from this since +something happens right after the last digit is dialed. Carriers that +don't do this will sometimes tell you to dial "operator-assisted calls" by +dialing 102880+ the number you want. Already they're admitting that AT&T +is better than they are. + +And as if this wasn't enough, carriers that do this will also usually +connect you straight to the switch if you dial 10nnn#. The LOCs are +finally getting around to using the # key as sort of an "end-of-dialing" +feature, so you can reach the switch directly without having to dial a +local number or 950-something. Being able to get to the carrier's switch +is useful, because they often have special sequences you can dial there to +get their customer service offices, various test tones, and other things. +If you get the switch and then dial # and the tone breaks, you may have one +of these. Another # should bring the tone back; if digits have already +been dialed then # is a regular cancel or recall. Some carriers use * for +this. Anyway, if # breaks the tone, an additional digit may start a call +to an office. You can tell if it's working if # has no further effect; +you'll eventually either hear ringing or nothing if that digit hasn't been +defined. Many of the carriers have magic digit sequences that would +otherwise look like authorization codes, but go off immediately upon being +dialed and call somewhere. + +Call timing and billing is a very hazy issue with the alternates, as one +may see from the consumer group sheet. AT&T is still the only one that can +return called-end supervision, i.e. the signal that tells your local office +that the called party has picked up. The alternates, although they may be +planning to install this through agreements with the LOCs and AT&T, have +not done so yet, so they use timeouts to determine if billing should be +started yet. These are usually the time that 8 rings takes; assuming that +most people will give up after 6 or 7. So if you listen to your brother's +fone ring 20 times because he went out drinking last night and is now dead +to the world, you will get billed for the call whether he wakes up or not. +This is sort of a cheapo compromise, but since AT&T is so reluctant to hand +them supervision equipment, their hands are sort of tied. But notice that +it's likely that you won't get billed for a real short call that is +answered quickly, either. With the advent of 9600 baud voice-grade modems, +this could have some interesting applications as far as message passing is +concerned, and avoids pissing off operators by trying to yell through non- +accepted collect calls or long lists of what person-to-person name meant +what. But in general, you should keep your own records of what call and +what carrier and if it completed or not, so you won't get erroneously +billed by a silly timeout. + +Carriers often use their own switching equipment; they also often lease +lines from AT&T Long Lines for their own use. Allnet, for example, leases +equipment and time from other carriers at bulk rates and resells the +service to the customer. So if you use Allnet, you can never tell whose +equipment you're really talking on, because it's sort of like roulette +between satellite, microwave, or landline and who owns it. Some of this +latter-generation switching equipment is warmed-over AT&T stuff from a few +years ago, and therefore may be employing good old single-frequency trunks, +i.e. 2600 Hz will disconnect them. In the early days of carriers before +equal access, 2600 would often reset the local switch and return its +dial tone. This is less common these days but there's a lot of equipment +still out there that responds to it. + +When you select your default carrier, there is another valid option that +isn't on the ballot. It is called "no-pick", and is not exactly what it +sounds like. If you simply don't pick one or return the ballot, you get +tossed into a lottery and you will wind up with any random carrier as your +default on 1+ dialing. You still won't get bulk rates from this carrier +unless you call them up and create an account [or you may get a packet of +info from them in the mail anyway, because if they got selected for you +they will probably want you to sign up]. However, no-pick is the condition +where you *do not* have a default carrier, so if you pick up and dial 1 + +area + number the call will not complete. This is great for confusing +people who attempt to make long distance calls on your phone and don't know +about tenex dialing. Probably your best bet as far as saving money goes is +to sign up with *all* the carriers, and examine their billing structures +carefully. You can then choose the one that's cheapest for a given call at +a given time. You may need a computer to do this, however. It is +surprising that nobody has yet tried to market a program that will do this +for you. + +Post-parse, or 10nnn0+ dialing, is not the only security hole that carriers +have to deal with. There are often magic sequences that, when dialed after +a trial authorization code, will inform the caller if the code was valid or +not without having to dial an entire number. These usually take the form +of invalid called area codes, like 111 or 0nn or *nn. Most of the carriers +have fixed the problem in which an invalid code plus some sequence would +return silence and allow recall, and a valid one would error out. This +allowed valid codes to be picked out very quickly. Longer authorization +codes and improvements in the software have largely eliminated this as a +major problem, but it took a few years for them to get the idea. Note that +abuse of other peoples' authorization codes *is* illegal and they will +probably come after people who do it. However, it is often interesting to +play around with a carrier you are interested in purchasing service from, +and see if you can break their security easily. If you can, then it's +clear that someone else can, and this carrier is going to have a lot of +problems with fraud. Someone may even find your code and then you'll have +to deal with bogus billing. So if you find some algorithm which allows you +to come up with a 6 to 8 digit valid code, one thing you might do is call +the carrier and tell them about it. They'll thank you in the long run and +might even offer you a job, a side benefit of which may be unlimited free +calling via their equipment. + + +Downloaded From P-80 Systems 304-744-2253 diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/eqauto.txt b/textfiles.com/phreak/eqauto.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..cba8345c --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/eqauto.txt @@ -0,0 +1,39 @@ + + Equal Access and Modem Autodialers by Shadow 2600 + + Now that AT&T is being divested of its local telephone companies, phone +customers across the nation have to choose their long distance carrier as equal +access is phased in. 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.

Everyone has one. They are cheap, easy to use, and very usefull. Up +untill now, however, they have been almost exclusivly in the province of the buisness +world +. Just for those of you who have been in comas for the last few years, I'll explain +fax machines to you. + Fax machines are combination scanners/modems/printers. You can transmit the +contents of a piece of paper to another fax over the phone lines. Usually, your fax +also prints the number you called from on the first sheet of the transmittal. It is +e +asy to see why buisnesses like these. No longer content with Federal Express, now +letters can go cross country in minutes. Faxes have about 200-250 dpi resolution, +and print out on rolls of thermal paper. For some odd reason, most of them are 4800 +baud +. + +THE GOOD PART- + + "So what" you ask? Most people don't seem to realize the potential available +here. When I worked at The FHLB, we used to get faxes all the time, with requests +for checks. Occaisionaly, we also got short notes from the idiots at the other +banks. + This is what gave me the idea for what I call, for lack of a better term, Fax +Piracy. + + Fax Piracy is the ultimate crank call. Let me give you an example. + + There was this Library I hated, and, like everyone else, they have a fax. So +what me and a few of my freinds did was send them requests, "from" another Library +for books. I found out later, from a kid who worked there that they wasted about +$50, + sending them all the books. Not much, but if you know how cheap librarians are, you +can imagine the shit fits they had. + Next, we send them a "Mobius Fax" we got some sheets of black construction +paper, taped about 10 of them together, and started feeding them through the fax. +Once the start of the long sheet we had created came through, we taped it to the end. + +T +his went on continuosly for about 15 minutes untill their (very expensive) thermal +paper ran out. Since we had sent them nothing but black paper, it completely covered +and ruined all of their paper. This used up their 3month paper allocation at once, +an +d they had to borrow from petty cash to buy more. + Finally we sent them a little note, telling them what idiots they were, and +signing it "the fax pirates" + +HOW TO DO IT- + + First, and this is VERY IMPORTANT- Always remember to REPROGRAM the fax so it +displays someone elses name and number. If you forget to do this, its like sending a +letter bomb with a return adress. + Second, decide what to send. This is entirely up to you (duh) , and depends +on whether you want to annoy them, or really destroy them.* Wierd requests from +other campies you hate, long rambling stories, or strange art is always good. Be a +littl +e creative. (this part is especially fun if you have a Mac, and access to a +laserwriter) + Third, send it. (wow, some people need to be told everything, don't they) +What? You don't know their fax #? Its not in information? Its not in the phone +book? Well, keep reading! + +HOW TO GET FAX PHONE NUMBERS- + + This is just way easier than it should be. Call and ask. I'm serious, we've +done this probably over 30 times, and NO ONE HAS EVER QUESTIONED OUR REQUEST! I'll +give you a sample of a call that actually happened. (this is verbatum)(we taped it) + +IBM LADY Hello, IBM, may I help you? + +ME Hi, this is Biff Fulgate from over here at Linear Data Systems + Can I get your fax number, those boys in research need to send + something over and they lost the number again. + +IBM LADY Please hold on a moment + +ME Sure thing. Hah, those cooks over in research would probably + lose their heads if they wern't screwed on. + +IBM LADY Haha. Now is that the Tower 700 number? + +ME Um...let me check here... Yeah, that's it. (Tower 700? what?) + +IBM LADY Ok, hold on + + (Long wait during which I get slightly nervous) + +IBM LADY Ok That number is 313-xxx-xxxx + +ME Thanks, Bye + + + Also, most ads have fax numbers. Don't fuck with little companies though. +A) they don't need it, B) they are probably more suspicious, C) it hurts them more +than it would hurt a big company. be a caring capitolist. + + If you need any suggestions as to who's number to get try the following- +newspapers, radios stations, big companies, libraries, city & state governments, the +right to life movement, ect. + + + +HINTS- + + Act like you know whats going on at all times. + Be polite, and a little bit familiar + Make sure you have a plausable reason for getting the number + Don't laugh + Let the person who sounds most 'adult-like' make the call + Make sure you have a plausable name + +Remember, the larger the company, the less the people know and care about other parts +of the company, so the greater chance you have of not getting hassled. +ALSO! Don't forget to change the "number" you are calling from. + +If you want to send a Mobius Fax, usually Faxes have paper feed trays (we didn't know +that when we did it) + +ALSO- NEVER, EVER, DO THIS TO ATT! + + +HOW TO GET A FAX TO USE- + + Well, if you don't have one, try mommy's or daddy's office. Most Campus +offices have faxes you can pretend that you are supposed to be using (tell them the +Library sent you). Many print-shops (like Kinko's) have fax machines that you can use +for +a nominal fee. And, just like terminals in the early 80's, most fax machines are +just sitting out in offices, if you dress nicely, and look like you know what you're +doing, no one is going to ask questions. + +SOME NUMBERS TO CALL- + + I have a pretty good list of #'s that you can call, but I will upload it in a +different file, at a later date. + + +IF YOU LIKED THIS FILE- + + Please send a host of annoying faxes to your local "Right to Life" chapter. + + + +-----------end----- +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +*-- for really good info on how to really fuck up a company with mail, or faxes, I +reccomend Keith Wade's POISON PEN LETTERS & YOUR REVENGE IS IN THE MAIL both +available from the Loompanics Book Catalog (see my file on that for the adress) +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +if you would like a sample copy of THE UNDERGROUND EXPRESS send a S.A.S.E. and a buck +to THE UNDERGROUND EXPRESS P.O.BOX 8171 W.

Some of these machines contain an +automatic dialer that automatically calls an 800 number, where an +operator picks up the phone and asks for your credit card number, +verifies it, and connects you to your destination fax machine, running +the call through. I don't know exactly how answer supervision is +handled here, but using fax machines, one could use the carrier tone. + + I discovered that, when the machine was unplugged, one could +pick up the handset and get a regular dial tone. There is no +touch-tone pad, so it's impossible to dial out normally, but one can +dial by clicking the switchhook, and bopping the switchhook ten times +connects you to an operator, and you can give her the phone number +that you want to dial. I used this to make a local call just to see +if this could be done, and I mentioned this to a friend. + + Other people in the BBS community in that area later discovered +that there was no toll restriction on those lines, either, so one +could dial two zeros, get an AT&T operator, and then call his phriends +anywhere in the world. A person armed with a tone dialer would have a +whole spectrum of phraudulent options availible to him -- the 'start a +conference and transfer control to a pay phone' trick, never mind just +calling 900 numbers with a tone dialer just for the hell of it. + + Of course, I can't advocate any of this behavior because it is +illegal or immoral, but public fax machines, like COCOTS, have some +weaknesses against phraud -- and they really could design them quite a +bit better so they both provide better service and are more resistant +to people with evil intent. + + +[Moderator's Note: The public Fax machine that was installed in the +post office downtown was a sham, security-wise. They had the phone +line plugged into a modular jack mounted on the wall next to it. By +unplugging the Fax machine and plugging in an ordinary phone, you got +dial tone that would get you anywhere. And no one at the post office +seemed to keep an eye on the machine or care who did what over in that +corner of the (relatively, in the wee hours of the morning) deserted +lobby area. The machine was removed a couple months ago and the phone +line -- I assume -- turned off ... but who knows.

This device is one of the + mainstays of BS (BELL security). Its + main weakness is in that give tones to + do its operation. A friend of MAD!'s + is currently working on a device he + plans to call a purple box that will + detect these tones. You will just be + able to keep it on, and it will report + on any such tones. We will keep you + updated in future files. Ok, if the + MLT-2 is in MON (monitor) mode, you + can do the following: A good old loud + 2600hz will usually switch it to LOOP + mode. Some times a 7200 will execute + a TT (dial mode). These will get them + off your back for a while. If you own + a MLT-2 also, you can damage the other + MLT-2. First get the other MLT-2 into + loop mode. Now wait till it gets to + LIN (test the inside part of the + loop). Now do a K2. This will put + the MLT-2 into a state of limbo. Now + to finish up, do a MLT SOAK test. + This will put the offending machine + out of commission for a little while. + If you have an OMEGA BOX (nice little + things), a flat tone will put the + MLT-2 into a LRM (fast loop + measurement), thus getting it off your + line). + + +CONDUCTER TAGGER and ANALYZER test. + +This will show you approxamatly how + many people are on a line. +First you need to hook a volt/ohms + meter up to the phone box in your + wall. Hook the line and the ground up + to the red and green wires. You can + use one made for it, or you can modity + the kind you use to check batterys by + putting aligator clips on it. + Now the volt meter will rise an fall + depending on how many people pick up + the phone, and how good the connection + is. If your sister picks up the + phone, it will fall. It picks up + operators, and whatever. Most of the + cheaper tapping machines will be + detectable. Tape recorders can also + be detected. Even a person on a test + phone will show up. Its a great tool. + Try using it on conferences some + time. + +If you have friends (or enemys) that + like to listen to their phone + conversation out a phone boxes with + test phone theres something you can do + about it. The following information + comes from Abbie Hoffman and George + Hayduke in the classic book 'Getting + Even' the complete book of dirty + tricks. + +Cut the female end off an ordinary + extension cord. Unscrew the + mouthpiece on the telephone. You will + see a terminal for a red wire and one + for a black. Attach one of the wires + from the extension cord to the red, + and one to the black. Now plug the + extension cord into a power socket. + According to Hoffman you are sending + 20 volts of electricity back through + equipment made for 6 volts. Fizz. + + +Note! The Lunatic Phringe Suggests +that you do not try + this. It is not responsibly for any + damage done to phone equipment, or to + you. Actually you would be sending + 110 volts through equipment made for + 48.

FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. + (a) The Congress finds: + (1) that telecommunications systems and networks are often +used in the furtherance of criminal activities including organized crime, +racketeering, extortion, kidnapping, espionage, terrorism, and trafficking +in illegal drugs; + (2) that recent and continuing advances in telecommunications +technology, and the introduction of new technologies and transmission +modes by the telecommunications industry, have made it increasingly +difficult for government agencies to implement lawful orders or +authorizations to intercept wire and electronic communications and thus +threaten the ability of such agencies effectively to enforce the laws and +protect the national security; and + (3) that without the assistance and cooperation of providers +of electronic communication services and private branch exchange +operators, +the introduction of new technologies and transmission modes into +telecommunications systems without consideration and accommodation +of the need of government agencies lawfully to intercept wire and +electronic communications would impede the ability of such agencies +effectively to carry out their responsibilities. + (b) The purposes of this Act are to clarify the responsibilities +of +providers of electronic communication services and private branch +exchange operators to provide such assistance as necessary to ensure the +ability of government agencies to implement lawful court orders or +authorizations to intercept wire and electronic communications. SEC. 2. +(a) Providers of electronic communication services and private branch +exchange operators shall provide within the United States capability and +capacity for the government to intercept wire and electronic +communications when authorized by law: + (1) concurrent with the transmission of the communication to +the recipient of the communication; + (2) in the signal form representing the content of the +communication between the subject of the intercept and any individual +with whom the subject is communicating, exclusive of any other signal +representing the content of the communication between any other +subscribers or users of the electronic communication services provider or +private branch exchange operator, and including information on the +individual calls (including origin, destination and other call set-up +information), and services, systems, and features used by the subject of +the interception; + (3) notwithstanding the mobility of the subject of the intercept +or +the use by the subject of the intercept of any features of the +telecommunication system, including, but not limited to, speed- dialing or +call forwarding features; + (4) at a government monitoring facility remote from the target +facility and remote from the system of the electronic communication +services provider or private branch exchange operator; + (5) without detection by the subject of the intercept or any +subscriber; and + (6) without degradation of any subscriber's telecommunications +service. + (b) Providers of electronic communication services within the +public switched network, including local exchange carriers, cellular +service providers, and interexchange carriers, shall comply with +subsection (a) of this section within eighteen months from the date of +enactment of this subsection. + (c) Providers of electronic communication services outside of the +public switched network, including private branch exchange operators, +shall comply with subsection (a) of this section within three years from +the date of enactment of the subsection. + (d) The Attorney General, after consultation with the +Department of Commerce, the Small Business Administration and Federal +Communications Commission, as appropriate, may except from the +application of subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this section classes and +types of providers of electronic communication services and private branch +exchange operators. The Attorney General may waive the application of +subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this section at the request of any +provider of electronic communication services or private branch exchange +operator. + (e) The Attorney General shall have exclusive authority to +enforce the provisions of subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this section. +The Attorney General may apply to the appropriate United States District +Court for an order restraining or enjoining any violation of subsection +(a), (b) or (c) of this section. The District Court shall have +jurisdiction to restrain and enjoin violations of subsections (a) of this +section. + (f) Any person who willfully violates any provision of +subsection (a) of this section shall be subject to a civil penalty of +$10,000 per day for each day in violation. The Attorney General may file +a civil action in the appropriate United States District Court to +collect, and the United States District Courts shall have jurisdiction to +impose, such fines. + (g) Definitions--As used in subsections (a) through (f) of this +section-- + (1) 'provider of electronic communication service' or 'private +branch exchange operator' means any service or operator which provides +to users thereof the ability to send or receive wire or electronic +communication, as those terms are defined in subsections 2510(1) and +2510(12) of Title 18, United States code, respectively, but does not +include the government of the United States or any agency thereof; + (2) 'communication' means any wire or electronic +communication, as defined in subsections 2510(1) and 2510(12), of Title +18, United States Code; + (3) 'intercept' shall have the same meaning as set forth in +section +2510(4) of Title 18, United States Code; and + (4) 'government' means the Government of the United States +and any agency or instrumentality thereof, any state or political +subdivision thereof, the District of Columbia, and any commonwealth, +territory or possession of the United States. + + +DIGITAL TELEPHONY AND INTERCEPTION BY CRIMINAL LAW +ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES + + The telecommunications systems and networks are +often used to further criminal activities including white collar and +organized crime, racketeering, extortion, kidnapping, espionage, +terrorism, and trafficking in illegal drugs. Accordingly, for many +years, one of the most important tools in the investigation of crime for +Federal and State criminal law enforcement agencies has been the court +authorized interception of communications. As illustrated below, the +majority of original authorizations to intercept wire or electronic +communications are conducted by State criminal law enforcement agencies. + +Interception Applications Authorized + State Federal Total +1984 512 289 801 +1985 541 243 784 +1986 504 250 754 +1987 437 236 673 +1988 445 293 738 +1989 453 310 763 +1990 548 324 872 +Total 3,440 1,945 5,385 + +Approximately, 3/8 of authorized interceptions were conducted by Federal +agencies, while 5/8 of the authorized interceptions were conducted by +State criminal law enforcement agencies.1 + + The recent and continuing advances in telecommunications +technology, +and the introduction of new technologies by the telecommunications +industry, have made it increasingly difficult +for government agencies to implement lawful orders or authorizations to +intercept wire and electronic communications, as well as to implement +pen register and trap-and-trace court orders or authorizations. These new +technologies inadvertently undermine the ability of criminal law +enforcement agencies to enforce effectively the criminal laws and protect +the national security. Without the assistance and cooperation of the +telecommunications industry, these new technologies will impede the +ability of the telecommunications industry, these new technologies will +impede the ability of the government to enforce the criminal law. +Accordingly, the purpose of this bill is to clarify the existing +responsibilities of electronic communication services providers and +private branch exchange operators, as established, for example, in 18 +U.S.C. ____ 2518(4), 3124(A), (B), to provide such assistance as +necessary to ensure the ability of government agencies to implement +lawful orders or authorizations to intercept communications. + + Over the past twenty-five years, the working +relationship between the criminal law enforcement community, +particularly the Federal Bureau of Investigation as the federal +government's primary criminal law enforcement agency, and the +telecommunications industry, in response to the appropriate court orders +or authorizations, has provided government agencies with timely access to +the signals containing the content of communications covered by the court +orders or authorizations. As a general proposition, this has involved +providing the means to acquire the communication as it occurs between +two individual telephone users at a remote location, not dissimilar to a +call in which the two originating parties do not know that a third party +is listening, and in which the third party (the criminal law enforcement +agency) records the authorized and relevant calls. + + Historically, and with relatively few exceptions, the +telecommunications industry has provided the criminal law enforcement +community with the ability to monitor and record calls: + +1. at the same time asthe call is transmitted to the recipient; + +2. in the same form as the content of the call was transmitted +through the network, notwithstanding the use by the target of custom +features of the network; + +3. whether stationary or mobile; + +4. at the government monitoring facility; + +5. without detection by the target or other subscribers; and +without degrading any subscriber's service. + + +However, the introduction of new technology has begun to erode the +ability of the government to fully effectuate interceptions, pen +registers and trap-and-race court orders or authorizations that are +critical to detecting and prosecuting criminals. As technology has +developed, the telecommunications industry has not always ensured the +continued +ability to provide the same services to the criminal law enforcement +community. The telecommunications industry's introduction of certain +types of new technology poses real problems for effective criminal law +enforcement. Legislation is necessary to ensure that the government will +be provided with this capability and capacity in the future by all +providers and operators and to maintain a level playing field among +competitive +providers and operators in the telecommunications industry. + +There have been instances in which court orders authorizing the +interception of communications have not been fulfilled because of +technical limitations within particular telecommunications networks. For +example, as early as 1986, limited capabilities became apparent in at +least one network which will only be corrected later in 1992. This +technical deficiency in a new technology forced criminal law enforcement +agencies to prioritize certain interceptions to the exclusion of other +court orders. Accordingly, for approximately six years, there have been +court orders that have not been sought by the criminal law enforcement +community or executed by the telecommunications industry and, as a +consequence, important criminal investigations have not been brought to +fruition or have been less than efficiently concluded. This is one +classic example of new technology affecting adversely the criminal law +enforcement community: a microcosm of what may be expected on a +nationwide basis without enactment of this legislation. + + Section 1 of the bill states Congressional findings and purpose. + + Section 2 is divided into seven subsections. Subsection (a) +establishes as a matter of law the responsibility of electronic +communication services providers and private branch exchange operators +to continue to provide, within the United States, the capability and +capacity for criminal law enforcement agencies to intercept wire and +electronic communications when authorized by law. These subsections +delineate the existing attributes of wire or electronic communication +interception. + + 1. Concurrent with Transmission. The application for a +court order to intercept telecommunications conversations or data +transmissions is rarely a leisurely process. For example, on the Federal +side, the development of the required affidavits, submission to the +Criminal Division of the Department of Justice for approval, transmission +of approval to the Assistant United States Attorney, the appearance of the +Assistant before a judge to request the order and the delivery of the +judge's order to the appropriate telecommunications company is frequently +completed in a very short time. However, crime waits for no one and the +system for approval of interceptions must and does conform with the +realities of the activity that is sought to be investigated and, if +appropriate, prosecuted as criminal offenses. Since time is of the +essence, current law requires that service providers and operators +provide the government forthwith all information, facilities and +technical assistance necessary to accomplish its mission. It is critical +that the telecommunications industry respond quickly to execute the court +order or authorization. The ultimate problem of timeliness, however, is +the real-time monitoring of the intercepted communications. As serious +and potentially life- threatening criminal conduct is detected, it may be +necessary to move quickly to protect innocent victims from that conduct. +Accordingly, "real-time" monitoring is critical. + + 2. Isolated Signal and Services Used. Nearly all of the + communications network is partially "analog" at this time. In +conducting an interception, for example, of a telephone conversation, the +government is allowed to monitor and record criminal conversation such +as a conspiracy, minimizing the acquisition of non-criminal or innocent +conversation. When an electronic communication services provider or +private branch exchange operator introduces a new technology--such as a +digital signal--the communications are converted into a different and +more efficient form for transmission, but a more difficult form to +monitor during interception. The bill requires only that the provider or +operator isolate and provide access to the electronic signal that +represents the content of the communications of the target of the +intercept2 from the stream of electronic signals representing other +communications. This provision seeks to ensure that, in the new +electronic environment in which signals are mixed for transmission and +separated at another switch for distribution, the government does not +receive the communications of any individual other than the individuals +using the target's communications point of origin and receipt; the +government must remain subject to the minimization standards of 18 U.S.C. +__ 2518(5). + + This provision also makes it clear that an electronic +communication services provider or private branch exchange operator is +not required to provide for reconversion of the isolated communication to +analog or other form. The government expects that this process will be +accomplished by the government. + + 3. Mobility and Features. Increasingly, criminal acts are being +conducted or discussed over cellular telephones or by using special +telecommunications features. As this mobility is introduced, the +electronic communication services providers and private branch exchange +operators would be required to assure the capability and capacity for +criminal law enforcement agencies to continue lawful interception. + + Further, this subsection makes it clear that features used by the +target do not defeat the court order or authorization. For example, +communications which have been addressed to the telephone number of +the target, but which may have been programmed through a +call-forwarding feature to another, otherwise innocent, telephone number, +must be captured and made available to criminal law enforcement +authorities pursuant to court order or authorization. This requirement +will obviate the need for applications for authority to monitor otherwise +innocent telephone numbers that receive, only intermittently, calls +forwarded by the target. The effect of this provision is to further +minimize monitoring of calls of innocent parties. Similarly, certain +speed dialing features that mask the telephone number called by the +target must be identified for criminal law enforcement investigation. +The ability to consistently determine the destination of calls is critical +to minimizing +the monitoring of innocent calls. + + 4. Government Monitoring Facility. Government agencies do not +normally request the use of telecommunications industry physical +facilities to conduct authorized interceptions nor is it encourage by the +industry. Normally, the government leases a line from the electronic +communication services provider's or private branch exchange operator's +switch to another location owned or operated by the government. This +minimizes the cost and intrusiveness of interceptions, which benefits the +service provider or operator, as well as the government. Accordingly, the +ability to monitor intercepted communications remotely is critical. + + 5. Without Detection. One of the reasons that governments +operate their own facilities is to reduce the risk of detection of the +interception, which would render the interception worthless. At the +present time, the existence of an interception is unknown to any +subscriber and is not detectable by the target, notwithstanding folklore +and spy novels. This provision merely ensures that the secrecy of +effective interceptions will be maintained. + + 6. Without Degradation. Maintaining the quality of the +telephone network is in the interest of the government, the industry and +the public. Presently, the existence of an interception has no effect on +the quality of the service provided by any network to the target or any +subscriber. This provision ensures that the quality of the network will +continue to be uncompromised. Absent the assistance delineated by this +legislation, the execution of court orders and authorizations by the +government could well disrupt service of the newer technological systems, +a result that this legislation seeks to avoid. + + Subsection (b) provides that electronic communication services +providers and private branch exchange operators with the "public +switched network" must be in compliance with the minimum intercept +attributes within eighteen months after enactment. Thereafter, new +technologies must continue to meet these minimum attributes. + + Subsection (c) provides that electronic communication service +providers and private branch exchange operators that are not within the +"public switched network" must be in compliance with the minimum +intercept attributes within eighteen months after enactment. Thereafter, +new technologies must continue to meet these minimum attributes. + + Subsection (d) provides that the Attorney General may grant +exceptions to the affirmative requirements of subsection (a), as well as +the implementation deadlines of subsections (b) and (c). In considering +any request for exception, the Attorney General will consult with Federal +Communications Commission, the Small Business Administration and +the Department of Commerce, as appropriate. Accordingly, the Attorney +General has the authority to except, for example, whole classes, +categories or types of private branch exchange operators where no serious +criminal law enforcement problems are likely to arise, such as hospital +telephone systems. + + This subsection also permits the Attorney General to waive the +requirements of subsections (a), (b) and (c) on application by an +electronic communication services provider or private branch exchange +operator. +Accordingly, if a particular company can not comply with one or more of +the requirements of subsection (a), or needs time additional to that +permitted under subsections (b) or (c), the Attorney General may grant an +appropriate waiver. + + Subsection (e) provides that the Attorney General has exclusive +authority to enforce the provisions of the bill. While a number of States +have authority to seek and execute interception orders, they will be +required to seek the assistance of the Attorney General if enforcement of +this legislation is required. This section also provides for injunctive +relief from violations of the provisions of the bill. + + Subsection (f) provides for enforcement of the provisions of the +bill through imposition of civil fines against any company that is not +excepted from the provisions of the bill, does not acquire a waiver of the +provisions of the bill, and fails to meet the requirements of subsection +(a) after the effective dates set out in subsection (b) or (c), as +appropriate. A fine of up to $10,000 per day for each day in violation +may be levied; for most companies in the telecommunications industry +this amount is sufficient to ensure that compliance will be forthcoming. +Although this provision is not expected to be used, it is critical to +ensure that compliance with the provisions of the bill will occur after +the effective dates of the requirements of subsection (a). + + Subsection (g) carries forward a number of definitions from the +current provisions for the interception of wire or electronic +communications under "Title III." The definition of "government" that is +currently in use includes all States, territories and possessions of the +United States, as well as the United States, is made applicable to the +bill. + +[Footnotes] +1Interceptions for foreign intelligence and counterintelligence +purposes are not counted within the figures used here, but would likewise +benefit from enactment of the legislation. + +2 Whether the content is voice, facsimile, imagery (e.g. video), computer +data, signalling information, or other forms of communication, does not +matter; +all forms of communication are intercepted. + + + + + + diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/fcc.txt b/textfiles.com/phreak/fcc.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..9bf4fe13 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/fcc.txt @@ -0,0 +1,55 @@ +Dr. Spine #44 @3473 +Sat Feb 16 12:16:13 1991 + + + MINIMUM LINE TESTING REQUIREMENTS + + AS SET BY THE FCC + + Your local telephone company is required by the FCC to + provide a minimum level of quality on the lines it maintains + for your use.

Because of the highly +sophisticated nature of the modern telephone network, the installation of the +tap is a very tricky business indeed. It will take a capacitor (100nf), a +pair of high impedance headphones, anything up to two crocodile clips and at +least twelve seconds of concentrated effort. (See fig. 1) + +FIG 1: + +X---------------*---------------------------Y +phone lines | + | +X---------------|----------*----------------Y + | | + --- | + capacitor --- | + | | + |HEADPHONES| + + +One alternative to hanging around waiting for the telephone to answer is to +connect up a tape recorder. Now we come to the really sophisticated +electronics: since it is waste of tape to run the recorder continuosly, it is +useful to switch it on only when the phone is being used. Voice activated +switches? Why bother. A relay will do the trick, connected in series with +one of the lines. See plans on how to build a TAN box. There are plenty +around. + +RADIO BUGS: + +The next step up is some kind of radio bug. In the days not so long ago when +the BT issue phone was a wedge of cheese shaped affair with a dial on the +front, a favourite bugging device used to be the 'drop in' mike. The handset +microphone was a carbon granule device, quite bulky but easy to remove; +unscrew the mouthpiece, slip off a pair of wires from their terminals and its +out. The crafty buggers found a much better use for all that space than +filling it with carbon granuals. Buying microphones from the very same +people who supplied BT, they would empty out of the granuals, put in a much +smaller mike and would empty out the granuals, put in a much smaller mike and +a small radio transmitter, then seal the whole thing back together again. +Drop it into the handset and off you go. It is estimated that the numbers +made around the world ran into millions, so they were not uncommon! Still +used for bugging public telephones, but not much good for the wide varity of +office and home phones now in use. + +SERIES AND PARALLEL BUGS: + +Also very common and readily available are a variety of bugs which connect +either in series with one telephone wire or in parallel across the two. +The series bug has the advantage of only transmitting when the telephone is +used; the parallel one transmits continuosly in its crudest form (and most +commercial bugs are pretty crude) but can be a little more difficult to +detect by simple voltage measurements. Let's face it, it would be a trivial +matter to design a bug that is both triggered by use of the phone and +virtually impossible to detect by voltage measurements, but since almost +nobody takes seriously the idea that they may be a suitable target (do you +think you are, for instance?) and therefore won't be checking, why bother +with anything complicated? + +See picture 1 and 2 for details. (End of file) + +INFINITY TRANSMITTER: + +The most exotic of the commonly used listerning devices is the 'infinity +transmitter', so called because once the victim can be snooped on from +anywhere in the world. Anywhere his phone can be reached by direct dialling, +that is. This is what you do: dial up the victim's number and hold your +little black mystery box close to the mouthpiece. In the simplest versions, +the mystery box just sends a tone down the line which is picked up by a +frequency selective circuit inside the bug. The mystery box activates the +infinity transmitter, which you previously attached to the victim's phone. +Once activated, the transmitter prevents the phone from ringing, and instead +sends down the line any sounds picked up by the victim's telephone, or by the +bug's own internal microphone. + +This is how it works. On recieving the activating tone, the transmitter +passes enough current between the two lines to fool BT's equipment into +thinking that the phone has been answered, so the ringing tone is cancelled +and the line is opened. Once connection is made, all the bug has to do is to +modulate the line voltage in just the way the telephone itself would. Not +very difficult. The victim is entirly unaware of anything happening and, +with a hookswitch defeat installed, it could be his own telephone acting as +a microphone for the transmitter. The bug will automatically cut out if the +handset of the victim's phone is lifted, allowing it to be used normally. + +See picture 2 for details. (End of file) + +HOOK SWITCH DEFEAT: + +Much simpler than the infinity transmitter, and used in much the same way, is +the hookswitch defeat. When you hang up the telephone, a switch disconnects +the handset... unless, that is, somebody has doctored the phone. The +simplest method is just to wire a resistor across the switch. In use you +phone the victim, apologise for having called up the wrong number, let him +hang up but keep your phone off the hook to hold open the connection. +Then you listen in. The sound level won't be very high, so you may need an +amplifier. + +The difficulty with a plain hookswitch is that you need access to the +telephone itself and enough time to dismantle it. There is also the +possibility that an innocent caller may be slow to hang up and find himself +accidently eavesdroping. A bit of a giveaway. Hookswitch defeats are easy +to spot by anyone familiar with the insides of a telephone, but can often be +overlooked in inspection by a suspicious buggee since, unlike infinity +transmitters and the like, it could easily be part of the workings of the +phone. + +Take the idea of 'looking as if it belongs' to its conclusion and you have +the 'lost' tranmitter. What you do is to find a large-ish component in the +telephone (or typewritter, calculator, or whatever) which itself uses any +signal you need access to. You then rush home to your garden shed and knock +up a device which not only does what this component does, but contains a +transmitter too. You package it to look exactly like the component you're +replacing. Then you pop back one night and swap the two around. Anyone +inspecting the phone or whatever will find it contains exactly the components +it should - no more and no less. The transmitter is really and truly lost. + +This really is big league stuff - the kind of trick employees of rival +governments like to play on each other. Not the kind of thing you will +personally come across unless you have access to very valuable information +indeed. There's an American company called Fox which could be persuaded to +come up with the goodies if you approach them in the right way and have the +funds. They're in the phone book. + +Okay that is about it for this document, but do bear in mind that BT are very +touchy about having alien equipment connected to their lines, even if it is +just a capacitor and headphones. And stay away from my phone, if you don't +mind!! + + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ CIRCUIT DIAGRAMS: + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + +CIRCUIT 1: + +SERIES PHONE BUG: +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- + + +! !

In this article I will discuss +how fiber optics is made possible and also many of its uses. + + Strands of fiber optic material (usually made out of glass) are bundled in +cables not much thicker than your thumb. Conversations and electronic data +ride on light pulses, instead of being carried on a stream of electricity. + + Fiber-optic cables are replacing the copper cables and microwave relays +that AT&T uses. A single optical cable can transmit the volume of talk and +data flowing simultaneously through 120 standard copper cables. The new +technology is being refined even further and Bell claims that with this new +switching system they would be able to send the entire text of the +Encyclopedia Britannica from one computer to another in less than 6 seconds +(that's 50,000,000 bits/second -- fifty megabaud!). Copper phone cables, +which have crossed the nation since 1915, face eventual overload. + + The volume of calls is increasing throughout the nation at a rate of 10 to +12 percent annually. There is an annual growth in computer data traffic, from +banks and other businesses. Video conferencing, which is now restricted to +business related areas, will become available for public use (remember, +Alliance was once like this . . . just think of the things you can do with +VIDEO conferencing, heh heh!). It will use the same telephone lines that +voice and data transmission are used for. + + Other companies are also joining the fiber optic bandwagon (MCI, U.S. +Sprint, Allnet...etc). Each fiber is capable of handling 178 trillion +conversations. (As the guy at Telco said: "That's A LOT of SHIT on one strand +of fiber!) Even when crowded together, conversations don't stray away from +their assigned frequencies in the thin glass or fiber strand . . . thus, +callers have a less chance of being distracted by cross-talk or overheard +conversations that are experienced occasionally over copper lines. + + The key difference is that fiber-optic strands are coated so that light +cannot escape sideways. + + Optical cable material is so clear that light could pass through a 100 mile +thick window of it. Also,the modern material "defies a law of physics" by +letting light go around corners. Coated strands act like a reflective pipe, +causing light to curve and twist like in the way that water flows through a +garden hose. + + How a fiber optic call is routed: + + Say you are calling Los Angeles from Detroit. Your telephone converts your +voice into an electrical signal that arrives at a local digital switching +point. The electrical signal is converted there into a series of coded pulses + or digital bits of information. The digital bits then are converted into +pulses of laser light shot into the optical cable. + + Next the laser beam zips to a Los Angeles digital switching center, where a +reverse process changes light pulses back into digital bits, then into an +electrical signal that arrives at the telephone of your Los Angeles party. + + Bell isn't just stopping with this, while 40 percent of their goal is to +make everything software operated for ease. Some of their other work +includes: Artificial Intelligence, robotics, speech synthesis and recognition +and also, the study of "slug" brains; to understand how neurons connect into +networks; gallium arsenide, the material that may outdo silicon in computer +chips; fiber optic systems that can transmit at the rate of 20 billion bits +per second; optical computers that use the faster photons instead of +electrons. + + Fiber optics will also help to GREATLY enhance the fone line quality for +computer data transfer. So people will soon be able to use the regular fone +lines for data transfer at speeds greater than 2400 baud without worrying +about data suicide. + + Well this ends this article on fiber optic switching or: LASS: Laser aided +switching system. I hope you learned something from it.

It's +one of the best-kept secrets in the telephone business. None of the many +long-distance companies advertises it. And operators at Pacific Bell and +AT&T won't even admit that it exists, although it is a distinct +advantage to the consumer to know about it. + The secret: + If you have already signed up with a long-distance company, you also +can make your long-distance through ANY other long-distance carrier. + Throughout California, you can roam around among 22 long- +distance companies at will casually using any of them that serve your +area, without regard to the company you selected as your primary +long-distance carrier. + "Its the best of all worlds," said a phone industry executive. "I +picked my primary carrier on a basis of quality and reliability, and +now I pick and choose among the others according to my needs, such as +an occasional hour-long call to my son at college over another +company's lines that offer cheaper afternoon rates." + Said an officer of a major long-distance firm: "If I'm calling home +on Christmas or Mother's Day and I get a busy signal, I immediately +switch to another company's line to get through." "Competition is here, +and its working, in an instant," the officer said. + An official at another company said he makes all his personal +over-seas calls on a competing carrier's lines because his own +company doesn't serve many over-seas countries. "And my own +company also charges a premium for calling of the really small towns +that I call quite often, so I use still another carrier +periodically." + Such calls, known in telecommunications jargon as "Ten Triple XXX +dialing" are automatically billed by Pacific Bell at whatever rates are +established by the long-distance company used by the caller. No bill +comes from the company used. Example: + Under the rules governing the breakup of the Bell System, a +customer has signed up with AT&T to handle all long-distance +calling. When the receiver is lifted, calls automatically are +handled by AT&T. + But, if the caller wants to use MCI, it can be reached by +dialing five digits and then dialing the call. MCI's five-digit code +is 10222. + Each company has a different code, all beginning with 10 and +followed by three numbers. Because of this its known as "Ten Triple +XXX," or simply "the company code." + Use 10444 for Allnet; 10288 for AT&T or 10777 for Sprint, etc. (See +accompanying chart.) + Constant users of Ten Triple XXX quickly learn that 10 are the digits +that make it work and automatically dial 10, leaving to memory only +the last three digits. Two companies have made it relatively easy: +AT&T is 10 ATT and Sprint is 10 SPR. + But the system doesn't work unless the customer's phone has been +converted to the new equal-access system, which gives all phone users +equal access to all long-distance companies. When equal access +arrives in an exchange area, Pacific Bell rewires its telephone +switching gear so that long-distance calls are handled by whatever +long-distance company has been selected by the customer. But along +with this new company-selection option, comes the added bonus of being +able to use them all with Ten Triple XXX dialing. + + Ten Triple XXX codes. + Company Code + + Allnet ................................. 10444 + American Network/Savenet ............... 10311 + American PTT ........................... 10278 + American Telephone Exchange ............ 10050 + Amptelco Systems ....................... 10267 + AT&T ................................... 10288 + Com Systems ............................ 10266 + Comex/Chinamerica ...................... 10788 + CP National ............................ 10276 + Escondido Telephone Co. ................ 10441 + Express Tel. ........................... 10700 + GTE Sprint ............................. 10777 + ITT .................................... 10488 + MCI .................................... 10222 + Republic Telecom ....................... 10001 + SBS .................................... 10888 + Standard Information Services .......... 10747 + TDX Systems ............................ 10223 + Telesphere Network ..................... 10555 + TMC Long Distance ...................... 10007 + U.S. Telecom ........................... 10333 + Western Union .......................... 10220 + + By Charles W.

During the recording, start pressing various numbers (to get the Remote +Code, if you have completed step one you will know exactly how many numbers +you will need to press in; on many systems it is only one number so press "1" +for two seconds, listen to see if the recording has stopped and if you hear a +mechanical voice, then go on to "2", etc. etc. ad nauseum...

(ours was one of those cheap $4 phones that you can buy at k-mart which was modified by replacing the modular plug with some nice alligator clips for easy attachment and quick get away-if the need arises). attach your portable phone to the two terminals. sometimes there are more than one terminal in which case you must experiment around in order to find the right ones. you know you have found the right ones when you get a dial tone. this worked for us the first time that we tried it but the second building that we targetted didn't. basically if you can get into the box where the line connects to the building you can count on approximatly a 50% chance that you will get a dial tone. this is a fun way to call some of your friends and imagine the possiblities if you had a portable computer !!. as far as i know this is quite safe since you are using somebody elses phone line. the only danger is that you do have to mobile and ready to take off in case you are seen by somebody that knows what is up! + for any of you out there that can't spring $50 or more dollars for a good touch-tone phone, which probably includes most of you, well don't worry any more. good ole at&t has provided some for us. yes the blue charge phones make very good house phones. to get your own you need some simple devices. first of all you will need the phone itself, then you need to look at it and see how it is connected. most of the ones i have see have been connected with a small bolt with a hex-shaped hole that has a piece of metal sticking up from the middle. this is to prevent those of us with standard hex wrenchs from using them. one way to get the phone is straight forward abuse. this is not recommended for several reasons. one is that it is not very stealthy. it is noisy, and unless you have the brute strength of an ape- non-effective. you can take a hex wrench and try to drill the center of i t out. this is a good way but the hex wrench people made there wrenches so that this may present a problem to some who don't have titanium drill bits. the way that worked for us was this. get ahold of some metal tire caps. these can be snagged from many places. what you are looking for are the ones that fit over the tube inflation valve but that have fitted on to the other end a device to remove the king cap (i think that is what it is called although my tire vocabulary is not on the level of websters dictionary) anyway it has what appears to be two little things sticking out of the end.

Well, wouldn't it be great to connect that dead line with the + rest of your house so that you could at least have a jack close by to call + out with? *I* thought so, therefore I devised this... + + This How To involves nothing really complicated, nor vandalistic. You +don't even have to buy a long stretch of phone cable. All you need to do is +go outside and look around within your property line (or at the corners) for +a dull grey-green box that will have stickers identifying itself as Your +Local Phone Company equipment. Now, wait until it's dark, because I'm +pretty sure a repairman wandering by wouldn't exactly be pulling up just to +help you. + When you think it's a safe time to operate, take a pair of pliers, maybe +some thin gloves, and a flashlight. The box that I performed this one on +was two-foot tall, thin, and rectangular shaped. It bore a sticker that +said "Call The Local Phone Company before digging," and that's about it. +No Keep Outs, or Property ofs, or Warnings, or anything else like that. Odd. + Well, the box is pretty easy to open. Look on the bottom of the right +hand side for something that looks like a small wheel, about an inch or so +in diameter. Within the "wheel" is a nut, which is what the repairman uses +to open the lid of the box. Take the pliers and just turn it enough to lift +the front cover, therefore being able to remove it, and lie the cover on the +ground somewhere nearby. On the inside of the cover should be some kind of +inspection checklist, which has no interest value whatsoever. + Here comes the interesting part - Nice jumble of wires, eh? After I saw +inside the box for the first time last night, it took me a couple of minutes +to get my bearing of what wires did what. Look for the cables that come in +from the outside. In my case, the box was sticking out of the ground, and +the cables came naturally from the bottom. If two houses share the box like +mine did, then take a note of how each one branches off, and where the wires +go. You will only be concerned with four wires, total. Everything else is +for the phone man's concern. Inside the box should be a plastic board that +has nuts & bolts (terminals) extruding with the wires firmly attached to +them. If the phone men in your area are pretty organized like mine were, +then all you need to do is find the two wires (one will be white, hopefully) +that have a label with your old number, and possibly a description or +address of your house. Now, look at the two terminals that your #2 lines +connect to. See the terminal right above them? Those should be the +terminals for line #1, the main house line (every home comes equipped to +handle two phone lines - pretty hoopy thinking, eh?) To confirm this, 1. +the white wire of line #2's terminal should be right below the terminal for +the white wire of line #1's - more than likely, the non-white wires of both +lines were different colors from each other (for me, line 1 was blue, and +line 2 was orange) - if you were to trace the four wires of both lines, they +should be coming out of the same cable. + Now, knowing where the two lines are connected to the terminals on the +plastic board, loosen the nuts to where you can remove the four wires if +you tried. A Note - there may be more than one wire on a terminal, perhaps +a grey one or dull colored. If so, ignore these wires - just concentrate +on the four main ones of the two phone lines. Take the white wire of Line +#2, and hook it on to the terminal with white wire of Line #1, and tighten +those two nuts. Repeat again with the other wire, connecting it to the +similar terminal of the other line, so that when you are finished you will +basically have what you had before, except that the two wires of Line #2 +will be connected to the wires of line #1. Make sure all of the nuts are +tightened, and it looks pretty much like before, and put the lid back on. +Pretty simple, eh?! + + Well, that should do it. I advise caution by possibly wearing gloves or +having a friend as a lookout (and to also run into the house to check out +the phone jack to see if you did it correctly and a dial-tone is present). +I'm not sure how offended your local phone company may be, because if they +discover tampering then they might get real offended and actually perform +an investigation, which might lead to fingerprinting. But, I wouldn't +expect anything that major. All in all, this little proved theory of mine +(based on the fact that houses are provided with two lines) saved my friend +and I fifty whole bucks, just to have a repairman do the same thing that we +did.

The Phoenix Phorce ! +!/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\! + + This file is written for the information of basic telephone and communcation +sabotage. I have always wanted to know alot about this subject, so I did some +research on it and decided to write a file about it because I know that there +are others who are like me. + + The first and most important thing is to break down the enemies communication +down. This is a small, but very important part of communication sabotage. + +Steps in Disconnecting a Phone +============================== + + Call the local Bell C/o and say that you would like the enemies telephone +to be disconnected. One important part of this call is making sure that +your call is kept under 90 seconds. You should not place your call from a +pay phone since the phone company can tell right away that you are calling +from one, so you should avoid this. Place your call ~rom a private business +line that you can in no way be connected with. Another thing that you +should keep in mind is that if you are planning to attempt to disconnect +a law enforcement or business's line, remember that most of them have more +than one line. When you actually place the call and talk to the Bell em- +ployee, keep calm and collected and do not sound young. I suggest that you +sound at least 18 or above. If you don't sound this old, then fake it, but +don't over do it. + +Destroying Phone Lines +====================== + + This is a little more dangerous part of communication sabotage. It involves +actually cutting the telephone lines to knock out the lines for a large area. +This can be easier if you live in a rural area for the lines are above the +ground and easier to get at, plus there will not be that many people around +watching you climb up the pole and make an asshole of yourself. There are +some tools that you will need to do this deed. Here are the ones that I know +that you should take along: + + 1] Rubber soled shoes + 2] Pliers with rubber grips + 3] Wire or tin cutters + 4] Surgical rubber grips + 5] Flashlight [smaller the better, for night use] + 6] Straps with alot of freedom [for when you are at the top of the pole] + + ** Important ** : These lines carry alot of electrical current and it should +be taken into consideration that this is very dangerous. Also, before +ateempting this, I suggest that you go trashing and try to find a Bell re- +pairman's manual to help you with the actual cutting. + This works a little different with the cutting of the wires in urban areas. +Since the lines are underground it makes it harder. In most urban areas, the +lines will be found beneath street level and are usually put into a tunnel +for sewers. Inside the sewer there are alot of High GVoltage Electrical +wires. If you cut into one of these, your brains will be fried out your +ass no matter how well insolated you are, so don't touch. + To get you more informed about what you are actually looking for, then I +suggest that you goto your public library and get a map of the underground +phone lines around your area or an electronic line locator so that you +can find the right line to cut. The urban saboteur should have all the +equipment that the rural saboteur should have except he should exchange the +pole strap for a rubber insulated hack-saw and a crowbar also. The hacksaw +is for the use of cutting the metal cased wires and lines in the sewer area. + You can get into most manholes easily, but I suggest that you take a look +at your map and thoroughly study the routes that you plan to take and be +sure and know exactly where you plan to go, you wouldn't want to get lost +in the sewer. Be sure and dress in your worst clothes because of the +environment of the sewer, it is full of shit, water, rats and other such +pests. + + Well, I hope you have enjoyed this file and take care. + + Thanks to: Arthur Dent for keeping me up at 3:00 in the morning while I + was jamming on this file. + The Egyptian Lover + [-=> The Phoenix Phorce <=-] + + + ------------------------------------------- + | Paranoia | + | 215-657-6225 | + ------------------------------------------- + + + ------------------------------------------- + + + + + +Private Philes Contains 8 Files +D/U/L/S/R/Q/C/B/G/#/[H]elp -=> + + + + + + + + +X-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-X + Another file downloaded from: NIRVANAnet(tm) + + & the Temple of the Screaming Electron Jeff Hunter 510-935-5845 + Burn This Flag Zardoz 408-363-9766 + realitycheck Poindexter Fortran 510-527-1662 + My Dog Bit Jesus Suzanne d'Fault 510-658-8078 + New Dork Sublime Demented Pimiento 415-864-DORK + The Shrine Tom Joseph 408-747-0778 + + "Raw Data for Raw Nerves" +X-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-X diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/foneworx.txt b/textfiles.com/phreak/foneworx.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..440f7b3e --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/foneworx.txt @@ -0,0 +1,640 @@ +From telecom@eecs.nwu.edu Wed Aug 7 00:47:09 1991 +Received: from hub.eecs.nwu.edu by gaak.LCS.MIT.EDU via TCP with SMTP + id AA19092; Wed, 7 Aug 91 00:46:57 EDT +Resent-Message-Id: <9108070446.AA19092@gaak.LCS.MIT.EDU> +Received: from trout.nosc.mil by delta.eecs.nwu.edu id aa04018; + 5 Aug 91 8:33 CDT +Received: by trout.nosc.mil (5.59/1.27) + id AA14998; Mon, 5 Aug 91 06:30:20 PDT +Received: by jartel.info.com (/\=-/\ Smail3.1.18.1 #18.7) + id ; Mon, 5 Aug 91 06:22 PDT +Received: by denwa.info.com (5.59/smail2.5) with UUCP + id AA10300; 5 Aug 91 06:14:15 PDT (Mon) +Received: by denwa.info.com (5.59/smail2.5) with UUCP + id AA10295; 5 Aug 91 06:13:57 PDT (Mon) +Received: by bongo.info.com (smail2.5) + id AA04609; 5 Aug 91 06:07:53 PDT (Mon) +Reply-To: julian@bongo.info.com +X-Mailer: Mail User's Shell (6.4 2/14/89) +To: telecom@eecs.nwu.edu +Subject: How Phones Work +Message-Id: <9108050607.AA04605@bongo.info.com> +Date: 5 Aug 91 06:07:47 PDT (Mon) +From: Julian Macassey +Resent-Date: Tue, 6 Aug 91 23:50:03 CDT +Resent-From: telecom@eecs.nwu.edu +Resent-To: ptownson@gaak.LCS.MIT.EDU +Status: RO + + +Dear Patrick, +as requested, here is my introductory article on phones: + +----------cut and slash at will ------------------------------- + + + UNDERSTANDING TELEPHONES + + by + + Julian Macassey, N6ARE + + First Published + in + Ham Radio Magazine + September 1985 + + Everybody has one, but what makes it work? + + Although telephones and telephone company practices may vary +dramatically from one locality to another, the basic principles +underlying the way they work remain unchanged. + + Every telephone consists of three separate subassemblies, +each capable of independent operation. These assemblies are the +speech network, the dialing mechanism, and the ringer or bell. +Together, these parts - as well as any additional devices such as +modems, dialers, and answering machines - are attached to the +phone line. + + +The phone line + + A telephone is usually connected to the telephone exchange +by about three miles (4.83 km) of a twisted pair of No.22 (AWG) +or 0.5 mm copper wires, known by your phone company as "the +loop". Although copper is a good conductor, it does have +resistance. The resistance of No.22 AWG wire is 16.46 Ohms per +thousand feet at 77 degrees F (25 degrees C). In the United +States, wire resistance is measured in Ohms per thousand feet; +telephone companies describe loop length in kilofeet (thousands +of feet). In other parts of the world, wire resistance is +usually expressed as Ohms per kilometer. + + Because telephone apparatus is generally considered to be +current driven, all phone measurements refer to current +consumption, not voltage. The length of the wire connecting the +subscriber to the telephone exchange affects the total amount of +current that can be drawn by anything attached at the +subscriber's end of the line. + + In the United States, the voltage applied to the line to +drive the telephone is 48 VDC; some countries use 50 VDC. Note +that telephones are peculiar in that the signal line is also the +power supply line. The voltage is supplied by lead acid cells, +thus assuring a hum-free supply and complete independence from +the electric company, which may be especially useful during power +outages. + + At the telephone exchange the DC voltage and audio signal +are separated by directing the audio signal through 2 uF +capacitors and blocking the audio from the power supply with a 5- +Henry choke in each line. Usually these two chokes are the coil +windings of a relay that switches your phone line at the +exchange; in the United States, this relay is known as the "A" +relay (see fig.1). The resistance of each of these chokes is 200 +Ohms. + + We can find out how well a phone line is operating by using +Ohm's law and an ammeter. The DC resistance of any device +attached to the phone line is often quoted in telephone company +specifications as 200 Ohms; this will vary in practice from +between 150 to 1,000 Ohms. You can measure the DC resistance of +your phone with an Ohmmeter. Note this is DC resistance, not +impedance. + + + Using these figures you can estimate the distance between +your telephone and the telephone exchange. In the United States, +the telephone company guarantees you no lower current than 20 mA +- or what is known to your phone company as a "long loop." A +"short loop" will draw 50 to 70 mA, and an average loop, about 35 +mA. Some countries will consider their maximum loop as low as 12 +mA. In practice, United States telephones are usually capable of +working at currents as low as 14 mA. Some exchanges will +consider your phone in use and feed dial tone down the line with +currents as low as 8 mA, even though the telephone may not be +able to operate. + + Although the telephone company has supplied plenty of nice +clean DC direct to your home, don't assume you have a free +battery for your own circuits. The telephone company wants the +DC resistance of your line to be about 10 megOhms when there's no +apparatus in use ("on hook," in telephone company jargon); you +can draw no more than 5 microamperes while the phone is in that +state. When the phone is in use, or "off hook," you can draw +current, but you will need that current to power your phone, any +current you might draw for other purposes would tend to lower the +signal level. + + The phone line has an impedance composed of distributed +resistance, capacitance, and inductance. The impedance will vary +according to the length of the loop, the type of insulation of +the wire, and whether the wire is aerial cable, buried cable, or +bare parallel wires strung on telephone poles. For calculation +and specification purposes, the impedance is normally assumed to +be 600 to 900 Ohms. If the instrument attached to the phone line +should be of the wrong impedance, you would get a mismatch, or +what telephone company personnel refer to as "return loss." +(Radio Amateurs will recognize return loss as SWR.) A mismatch +on telephone lines results in echo and whistling, which the phone +company calls "singing" and owners of very cheap telephones may +have come to expect. A mismatched device can, by the way, be +matched to the phone line by placing resistors in parallel or +series with the line to bring the impedance of the device to +within the desired limits. This will cause some signal loss, of +course, but will make the device usable. + + A phone line is balanced feed, with each side equally +balanced to ground. Any imbalance will introduce hum and noise +to the phone line and increase susceptibility to RFI. + + The balance of the phone line is known to your telephone +company as "longitudinal balance." If both impedance match and +balance to ground are kept in mind, any device attached to the +phone line will perform well, just as the correct matching of +transmission lines and devices will ensure good performance in +radio practice. + + If you live in the United States, the two phone wires +connected to your telephone should be red and green. (In other +parts of the world they may be different colors.) The red wire +is negative and the green wire is positive. Your telephone +company calls the green wire "Tip" and the red wire "Ring". (In +other parts of the world, these wires may be called "A" and "B".) +Most installations have another pair of wires, yellow and black. +These wires can be used for many different purposes, if they are +used at all. Some party lines use the yellow wire as a ground; +sometimes there's 6.8 VAC on this pair to light the dials of +Princess type phones. If you have two separate phone lines (not +extensions) in your home, you will find the yellow and black pair +carrying a second telephone line. In this case, black is "Tip" +and yellow is "Ring." + + The above description applies to a standard line with a DC +connection between your end of the line and the telephone +exchange. Most phone lines in the world are of this type, known +as a "metallic line." In a metallic line, there may or may not +be inductance devices placed in the line to alter the frequency +response of the line; the devices used to do this are called +"loading coils." (Note: if they impair the operation of your +modem, your telephone company can remove them.) Other types of +lines are party lines, which may be metallic lines but require +special telephones to allow the telephone company to +differentiate between subscribers. Very long lines may have +amplifiers, sometimes called "loop extenders" on them. Some +telephone companies use a system called "subscriber carrier," +which is basically an RF system in which your telephone signal is +heterodyned up to around 100 Khz and then sent along another +subscriber's "twisted pair." + + If you have questions about your telephone line, you can +call your telephone company; depending on the company and who you +can reach, you may be able to obtain a wealth of information. + + +The Speech Network + + The speech network - also known as the "hybrid" or the "two +wire/four wire network" - takes the incoming signal and feeds it +to the earpiece and takes the microphone output and feeds it down +the line. The standard network used all over the world is an LC +device with a carbon microphone; some newer phones use discrete +transistors or ICs. + + One of the advantages of an LC network is that it has no +semiconductors, is not voltage sensitive, and will work +continuously as the voltage across the line is reduced. Many +transistorized phones stop working as the voltage approaches 3 to +4 Volts. + + When a telephone is taken off the hook, the line voltage +drops from 48 Volts to between 9 and 3 Volts, depending on the +length of the loop. If another telephone in parallel is taken +off the hook, the current consumption of the line will remain the +same and the voltage across the terminals of both telephones will +drop. Bell Telephone specifications state that three telephones +should work in parallel on a 20 mA loop; transistorized phones +tend not to pass this test, although some manufacturers use ICs +that will pass. Although some European telephone companies claim +that phones working in parallel is "technically impossible," and +discourage attempts to make them work that way, some of their +telephones will work in parallel. + + While low levels of audio may be difficult to hear, overly +loud audio can be painful. Consequently, a well designed +telephone will automatically adjust its transmit and receive +levels to allow for the attenuation - or lack of it - caused by +the length of the loop. This adjustment is called "loop +compensation." In the United States, telephone manufacturers +achieve this compensation with silicon carbide varistors that +consume any excess current from a short loop (see fig. 2). +Although some telephones using ICs have built-in loop +compensation, many do not; the latter have been designed to +provide adequate volume on the average loop, which means that +they provide low volume on long loops, and are too loud on short +loops. Various countries have different specifications for +transmit and receive levels; some European countries require a +higher transmit level than is standard in the United States so a +domestically-manufactured telephone may suffer from low transmit +level if used on European lines without modification. + + Because a telephone is a duplex device, both transmitting +and receiving on the same pair of wires, the speech network must +ensure that not too much of the caller's voice is fed back into +his or her receiver. This function, called "sidetone," is +achieved by phasing the signal so that some cancellation occurs +in the speech network before the signal is fed to the receiver. +Callers faced with no sidetone at all will consider the phone +"dead." Too little sidetone will convince callers that they're +not being heard and cause them to shout, "I can hear you. Can +you hear ME?" Too much sidetone causes callers to lower their +voices and not be heard well at the other end of the line. + + A telephone on a short loop with no loop compensation will +appear to have too much sidetone, and callers will lower their +voices. In this case, the percentage of sidetone is the same, +but as the overall level is higher the sidetone level will also +be higher. + + +The Dial + + There are two types of dials in use around the world. The +most common one is called pulse, loop disconnect, or rotary; the +oldest form of dialing, it's been with us since the 1920's. The +other dialing method, more modern and much loved by Radio +Amateurs is called Touch-tone, Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) +or Multi-Frequency (MF) in Europe. In the U.S. MF means single +tones used for system control. + + Pulse dialing is traditionally accomplished with a rotary +dial, which is a speed governed wheel with a cam that opens and +closes a switch in series with your phone and the line. It works +by actually disconnecting or "hanging up" the telephone at +specific intervals. The United States standard is one disconnect +per digit, so if you dial a "1," your telephone is +"disconnected" once. Dial a seven and you'll be "disconnected" +seven times; dial a zero, and you'll "hang up " ten times. Some +countries invert the system so "1" causes ten "disconnects" and +0, one disconnect. Some add a digit so that dialing a 5 would +cause six disconnects and 0, eleven disconnects. There are even +some systems in which dialing 0 results in one disconnect, and +all other digits are plus one, making a 5 cause six disconnects +and 9, ten disconnects. + + Although most exchanges are quite happy with rates of 6 to +15 Pulses Per Second (PPS), the phone company accepted standard +is 8 to 10 PPS. Some modern digital exchanges, free of the +mechanical inertia problems of older systems, will accept a PPS +rate as high as 20. + + Besides the PPS rate, the dialing pulses have a make/break +ratio, usually described as a percentage, but sometimes as a +straight ratio. The North American standard is 60/40 percent; +most of Europe accepts a standard of 63/37 percent. This is the +pulse measured at the telephone, not at the exchange, where it's +somewhat different, having traveled through the phone line with +its distributed resistance, capacitance, and inductance. In +practice, the make/break ratio does not seem to affect the +performance of the dial when attached to a normal loop. Bear in +mind that each pulse is a switch connect and disconnect across a +complex impedance, so the switching transient often reaches 300 +Volts. Try not to have your fingers across the line when +dialing. + + Most pulse dialing phones produced today use a CMOS IC and a +keyboard. Instead of pushing your finger round in circles, then +removing your finger and waiting for the dial to return before +dialing the next digit, you punch the button as fast as you want. +The IC stores the number and pulses it out at the correct rate +with the correct make/break ratio and the switching is done with +a high-voltage switching transistor. Because the IC has already +stored the dialed number in order to pulse it out at the correct +rate, it's a simple matter for telephone designers to keep the +memory "alive" and allow the telephone to store, recall, and +redial the Last Number Dialed (LND). This feature enables you to +redial by picking up the handset and pushing just one button. + +Because pulse dialing entails rapid connection and disconnection +of the phone line, you can "dial" a telephone that has lost its +dial, by hitting the hook-switch rapidly. It requires some +practice to do this with consistent success, but it can be done. +A more sophisticated approach is to place a Morse key in series +with the line, wire it as normally closed and send strings of +dots corresponding to the digits you wish to dial. + + Touch tone, the most modern form of dialing, is fast and +less prone to error than pulse dialing. Compared to pulse, its +major advantage is that its audio band signals can travel down +phone lines further than pulse, which can travel only as far as +your local exchange. Touch-tone can therefore send signals +around the world via the telephone lines, and can be used to +control phone answering machines and computers. Pulse dialing is +to touch-tone as FSK or AFSK RTTY is to Switched Carrier RTTY, +where mark and space are sent by the presence or absence of DC or +unmodulated RF carrier. Most Radio Amateurs are familiar with +DTMF for controlling repeaters and for accessing remote and auto +phone patches. + + Bell Labs developed DTMF in order to have a dialing system +that could travel across microwave links and work rapidly with +computer controlled exchanges. Each transmitted digit consists +of two separate audio tones that are mixed together (see fig.3). +The four vertical columns on the keypad are known as the high +group and the four horizontal rows as the low group; the digit 8 +is composed of 1336 Hz and 852 Hz. The level of each tone is +within 3 dB of the other, (the telephone company calls this +"Twist"). A complete touch-tone pad has 16 digits, as opposed to +ten on a pulse dial. Besides the numerals 0 to 9, a DTMF "dial" +has *, #, A, B, C, and D. Although the letters are not normally +found on consumer telephones, the IC in the phone is capable of +generating them. + + The * sign is usually called "star" or "asterisk." The # +sign, often referred to as the "pound sign." is actually called +an octothorpe. Although many phone users have never used these +digits - they are not, after all, ordinarily used in dialing +phone numbers - they are used for control purposes, phone +answering machines, bringing up remote bases, electronic banking, +and repeater control. The one use of the octothorpe that may be +familiar occurs in dialing international calls from phones in the +United States. After dialing the complete number, dialing the +octothorpe lets the exchange know you've finished dialing. It +can now begin routing your call; without the octothorpe, it would +wait and "time out" before switching your call. + + When DTMF dials first came out they had complicated cams and +switches for selecting the digits and used a transistor +oscillator with an LC tuning network to generate the tones. +Modern dials use a matrix switch and a CMOS IC that synthesizes +the tones from a 3.57MHz (TV color burst) crystal. This +oscillator runs only during dialing, so it doesn't normally +produce QRM. + + Standard DTMF dials will produce a tone as long as a key is +depressed. No matter how long you press, the tone will be +decoded as the appropriate digit. The shortest duration in which +a digit can be sent and decoded is about 100 milliseconds (ms). +It's pretty difficult to dial by hand at such a speed, but +automatic dialers can do it. A twelve-digit long distance number +can be dialed by an automatic dialer in a little more than a +second - about as long as it takes a pulse dial to send a single +0 digit. + + The output level of DTMF tones from your telephone should be +between 0 and -12 dBm. In telephones, 0 dB is 1 miliwatt over +600 Ohms. So 0 dB is 0.775 Volts. Because your telephone is +considered a 600 Ohm load, placing a voltmeter across the line +will enable you to measure the level of your tones. + + +The Ringer + + Simply speaking this is a device that alerts you to an +incoming call. It may be a bell, light, or warbling tone. The +telephone company sends a ringing signal which is an AC waveform. +Although the common frequency used in the United States is 20 HZ, +it can be any frequency between 15 and 68 Hz. Most of the world +uses frequencies between 20 and 40 Hz. The voltage at the +subscribers end depends upon loop length and number of ringers +attached to the line; it could be between 40 and 150 Volts. Note +that ringing voltage can be hazardous; when you're working on a +phone line, be sure at least one telephone on the line is off the +hook (in use); if any are not, take high voltage precautions. +The telephone company may or may not remove the 48 VDC during +ringing; as far as you're concerned, this is not important. +Don't take chances. + + The ringing cadence - the timing of ringing to pause - +varies from company to company. In the United States the cadence +is normally 2 seconds of ringing to 4 seconds of pause. An +unanswered phone in the United States will keep ringing until the +caller hangs up. But in some countries, the ringing will "time +out" if the call is not answered. + + The most common ringing device is the gong ringer, a +solenoid coil with a clapper that strikes either a single or +double bell. A gong ringer is the loudest signaling device that +is solely phone-line powered. + + Modern telephones tend to use warbling ringers, which are +usually ICs powered by the rectified ringing signal. The audio +transducer is either a piezoceramic disk or a small loudspeaker +via a transformer. + + Ringers are isolated from the DC of the phone line by a +capacitor. Gong ringers in the United States use a 0.47 uF +capacitor. Warbling ringers in the United States generally use a +1.0 uF capacitor. Telephone companies in other parts of the +world use capacitors between 0.2 and 2.0 uF. The paper +capacitors of the past have been replaced almost exclusively with +capacitors made of Mylar film. Their voltage rating is always +250 Volts. + + The capacitor and ringer coil, or Zeners in a warbling +ringer, constitute a resonant circuit. When your phone is hung +up ("on hook") the ringer is across the line; if you have turned +off the ringer you have merely silenced the transducer, not +removed the circuit from the line. + + When the telephone company uses the ringer to test the line, +it sends a low-voltage, low frequency signal down the line +(usually 2 Volts at 10 Hz) to test for continuity. The company +keeps records of the expected signals on your line. This is how +it can tell you have added equipment to your line. If your +telephone has had its ringer disconnected, the telephone company +cannot detect its presence on the line. + + Because there is only a certain amount of current available +to drive ringers, if you keep adding ringers to your phone line +you will reach a point at which either all ringers will cease to +ring, some will cease to ring, or some ringers will ring weakly. +In the United States the phone company will guarantee to ring +five normal ringers. A normal ringer is defined as a standard +gong ringer as supplied in a phone company standard desk +telephone. Value given to this ringer is Ringer Equivalence +Number (REN) 1. If you look at the FCC registration label of +your telephone, modem, or other device to be connected to the +phone line, you'll see the REN number. It can be as high as 3.2, +which means that device consumes the equivalent power of 3.2 +standard ringers, or 0.0, which means it consumes no current when +subjected to a ringing signal. If you have problems with +ringing, total up your RENs; if the total is greater than 5, +disconnect ringers until your REN is at 5 or below. + + Other countries have various ways of expressing REN, and +some systems will handle no more than three of their standard +ringers. But whatever the system, if you add extra equipment and +the phones stop ringing, or the phone answering machine won't +pick up calls, the solution is disconnect ringers until the +problem is resolved. Warbling ringers tend to draw less current +than gong ringers, so changing from gong ringers to warbling +ringers may help you spread the sound better. + + Frequency response is the second criterion by which a ringer +is described. In the United States most gong ringers are +electromechanically resonant. They are usually resonant at 20 +and 30 Hz (+&- 3 Hz). The FCC refers to this as A so a normal +gong ringer is described as REN 1.0A. The other common frequency +response is known as type B. Type B ringers will respond to +signals between 15.3 and 68.0 Hz. Warbling ringers are all type +B and some United States gong ringers are type B. Outside the +United States, gong ringers appear to be non-frequency selective, +or type B. + + Because a ringer is supposed to respond to AC waveforms, it +will tend to respond to transients (such as switching transients) +when the phone is hung up, or when the rotary dial is used on an +extension phone. This is called "bell tap" in the United States; +in other countries, it's often called "bell tinkle." While +European and Asian phones tend to bell tap, or tinkle, United +States ringers that bell tap are considered defective. The bell +tap is designed out of gong ringers and fine tuned with bias +springs. Warbling ringers for use in the United States are +designed not to respond to short transients; this is usually +accomplished by rectifying the AC and filtering it before it +powers the IC, then not switching on the output stage unless the +voltage lasts long enough to charge a second capacitor. + + +Conclusion + + This brief primer describing the working parts of a +telephone is intended to provide a better understanding of phone +equipment. Note that most telephone regulatory agencies, +including the FCC, forbid modification of anything that has been +previously approved or attached to phone lines. + + End of text.

To my knowledge +this file is the biggest of it's kind for fraud ever written by anyone. +I will release as many volumes of the series as possible before I move onto +better things, with that in mind I will share most of my practices to rip +off business entities from the very money that supports them. All the +practices within the files work, I have tested all of them over a long period. +The file itself took nearly a year to complete, assuring you that this file +is not bogus in any form. + +Fraud is basically simple to pull off. Sometimes it's easier than carding +(which anyone can pull -- but to master is different), but the penalty for +most types of fraud can really get you. + +In Mail/Telephone Fraud Volume I, I will go over the basics on how to rip off +any business. In my next volume, I will go over more advanced techniques +of riping from the rich and giving to the once poor (ie, yourself). + +Note: This file is extremely extensive in what I cover, the complete file is +20k or 72 sectors, if you don't have room abort now and get it at a later date. + + + +Survival +-------- + +Using these methods, you can almost survive on your own, without a job, +however I don't highly recommend it. + +Take two restaurants, send your friend in 10 minutes before you. He orders +a lunch, eats it, then you walk in, and order a cup of coffe. Now, once he +gets his bill, and you get yours, switch the bills. Now, he has your bill, +and you have his. So he ends up paying for the coffe, about .50 cents. Now +you complain that you never ordered a whole lunch, just a cup of coffe! So +you both just pay a total of $1.00. + +So with you having one cup of coffe, and he has a whole lunch, move onto the +next restaurant. Do the same thing, except reverse roles, you get the lunch, +and he gets the coffe. + +Free Tickets +------------ + +Say you want to get a free air line ticket to Bermuda, call up the air line +agency, and ask them to send the tickets, and bill to this address, give them +your address, and don't bother to pay it. Or if you are moving, you can avoid +ever getting billed. This is a tricky way, but if they call one day, or +come over to your house, and start asking why you haven't payed it, or +request you pay it now, well then you would do something along the lines of: + +I never ordered those tickets! My mother just died, why would I go on +vacation in such a morrowful state? Do me a real big favor, please, just +go, leave me alone. I don't want to have to deal with some, some computers +error in an urban society! Please, just, just go! Leave! + +That will get rid of any agency sales man. Lay it on them, give them a +whole story that makes them feel low. + +Mail Fraud +---------- + +Mail fraud is a lot easier, and a lot safer! + +If you want to mail a letter, or package. Just reverse the address, and it +will automatically be sent to the person who sent it! Drop it in the out +of town box in the Post Office, or go up to the old bitty..ahem, Post Master +and say: + +Excuse me, mam, I found this on the drive way, near the entrance for the +mail truck, it must have slipped out or something. So I thought you might +like to have it, to send it on it's way! Bye bye now, have a nice day! + +Just act like a fag, and they will be so nice to you! +Or you could simply say "Bill addresse" on the package, the destination will +get billed for it. +Obtain a PO box from the post master, if you can get a fake passport +to break the scent a little more I would advise it. Once you have established +a PO box, make up letters from the 'Famine Relief' or 'Save Africa' +foundation, and put one in each mail box in the whole town -- rich communities +are the best. Create this letter so the reader really thinks you are the +leading foundation in World Famine Relief, give facts, figures, etc. +Also, create other foundations on your own, like Cancer, AIDS, DWI, +Suicide, etc. In these letters give them your PO box number, and tell +them to send a donation of $6.00, and usually the response is tremendous! +Operate three or four of these in seperate communities and you're rich. + +Afterwards, remove the PO box at once, and destroy the passport that you +used to get the PO box. Thusly, destroying any trace of your identification +and residential address for the FBI. + +Easy Money! +----------- + +Want to earn maybe a few bucks? Walk down a busy street, and pick up a candy +wrapper. If it says: +"We will return your money if your not satisfied!" +then you could possibly earn a few bucks. Just send it back to them, include +a little letter, saying: + +"This SUCKED! I've tasted better shit on the side of a toilet!" + +and wait a couple weeks, you should get a check for a few dollars from +the company. Now, this works best with M&Ms, because M&M Mars, the company +who makes M&Ms knows a good fact. No one hates M&Ms, I've have never come +across a person who actually hates M&Ms. It's basically the perfect candy, +and M&M Mars knows it, so they say "We'll return you money!". + +Now what M&M Mars does not say is "Return your money, and then some!", +meaning a income for you! So, what you do is send that letter, saying +"This sucked! I'll never buy your damn products again!". Include some +other words, make it into two paragraphs, why you didn't like it, and so on. +M&M Mars is a really good one to hit, try it out some day, after all what can +M&M Mars Corp do about it? The amount of money may not be substancial, +they might even give you a crate of M&Ms, in which case you sell them at +a parade for $1.50 a bag. + +Business Relations Tricks +------------------------- + +This method has earned me a lot of good stuff, virtually any non-OEM company +will do business with you, Hayes, Xebec, Sony, Alpine, Hitachi, RCA, Hayes. +Look through a nice magazine, see something you like. Once you find it, look +for a business phone number. If there is one on the ad, then call it up, and +follow these steps: + +B = You C = Company + +B: Hello, this is Joe Smith from Kplastic Magazine, may I speak to your + Public Relations manager? +C: Sure Mr.Smith, you can reach him at 700-456-1000, ext 69, his name is + Frank Getz. +B: Thank your sir, and have a nice day. +C: Thanks for calling First Class Peripherals! + + (call Frank Getz) + +C: Good afternoon, First Class Peripherals, may I help you? +B: Hello is this Frank Getz, this is Joe Smith from Kplastic magazine? +C: Yes this is Frank Getz, what can I do for you today? +B: Hello, my name is Joe Smith, and I work for Kplastics magazine, and we are + doing a story on Hard Disk Subsystems for the Apple II series, in our + December Issue. And we would like to include YOUR product in our survey. + We were wondering if you could send us a interview system for a short + period of 30 days for our story? +C: I'll have to check with some other associates, we'll need to ask a few + questions first. (ie: he asks how many subscribers you have) +B: Oh, my gosh, I believe we have a circulation of 190,000 people. +C: Ok, and who publishes your magazine? +B: We have a local printing office that does all our printing needs. + + + +C: Ok, where can I send the interview system to? +B: +C: Thank you, and we'll get one right out to you, thanks for calling Mr.Smith. +B: Ok Jack, and I'll be in contact with you again next week, have a nice + weekend! +C: Oh you too! + +You must be ready, when you do this, they might be cautious! Some times +you have to do a lot more. What you may need to do is to get a "No Charge +Purchase Order". Include your fake business name, and your fake alias on it, +and mark it up for: + +Product Unit Cost Sale Cost +1 Sider 10 Megabyte Hard Disk $695.00 $0.00 + +Now once you have done this send it out to them, include a business letter. +Don't act like a complete hammer head when you do it. Numbers look good. + +So when doing this procedure, always have this list ready: + + o A fake alias (ie, Joe Fitztein). Be creative -- not overly. + o Have a fake business name. + o Have a 'No Charge Purchase Order' form ready! Include your + fake business name if possible. If you can get a business + logo onto the forms, do so.. + o Have a circulation number ready -- ideal: 110,000 + o Have a publisher name ready! Use a fake name. + o Have your address ready for them to send it to. A PO box as + described in the begining would do great -- but any address + will do that you use for a 'dropoff' sit in carding and + goods. + +Have it all ready before hand! Not after, impress him. Be a pompous jerk. +If all works fine, and you have done a little planning, you will do fine. +Let me explain some terms we used, and give you some places to look. + +No-Charge Purchase Order Forms +------------------------------ + +You can buy the forms for your scam at a company called "Nebs Computer Forms". +The price for 250 sheets is $57.00, order number 9055-3. 9 1/2 x 11 form +size. Call 800-225-9550, when calling have your buisness name, your fake +name, and possibly phone number + address. And also if possible, tell them +you have a business logo you want to incorporate into it, they will direct +you from there, usually a stamp can be made at a local printing store for +a few bucks. + +You can also go to your local supply store for office needs. Get the No +Charge Purchase orders there, maybe they can make them up at their store. + +First Class Peripherals +----------------------- + +I personally have hit First Class Peripherals, and did not work the first +time, because I was broke and didn't want to bother with the No-Charge +Purchase Orders, and I blew it off taking too much time. + +As most of the Apple II owners know, First Class Peripherals makes a hard +disk subsystem, 10/20 megabytes. This is a low cost hard drive, so a lot +of people want them. The public relations manager at First Class is +Phill Barns. When calling, ask for Phill Barns, and they will route you to +his number at "Xebec Corporation" in Carson City Nevada, extension 476.

Where in gods + name is it mam? I am losing money every day, because of somones + incompetance to send me my modem! I need it by next week, or I will have + to speak to your manager! +C: Sorry sir, you will have to wait just one more week, the mail service some + times does this. +B: Mam, your telling me I have to lose money every hour, for two weeks now, + and now your going to make it three weeks! Sorry mam, I will not sit here, + and be bullied by some company who gets their kicks off of holding back on + orders! I'm losing money damnit! And I need my damn modem back to get + connection with the Wall Street computers, to make investment decisions! + +C: Oh sorry sir, we'll send it right out! +B: I appreciate that very much mam, can you hurry it up, I've lost large + amounts of money because of this already! PLEASE hurry! + +This method, the "Sorry Sap" method works great. Give a little guilt, and +a high commanding voice, and you will melt the lady. + +Keep in mind, you don't even have to have sent in a broken modem! Just tell +them, "I Never got the thing!". They will of course, check their computers, +and say, "Sorry we have no record of your account." +They will do it! Count on it! So what you do is tell them: + +C: Sorry sir, we do not have your account. +B: That's funny, I got a bank statement that says my check was cashed for + $xxx.xx, under the name of "Novation Computer Ware". How do you account + for that mam? +C: I will check again...... Sorry. +B: Your telling me, I lost $xxx.xx, because of somones ingnorance? And your + relying on some electronic gizmo to conduct business? I tell you I want + my check back! Give me my money, or my modem, or let me talk to your + president! +C: Sorry sir, we just can't do that! +B: Listen mam, I sent you a check from my firm. The modem is used for getting + up to the minute stock quotes from some electronic computer or something up + in New York! Now this modem as it's called, that has not arrived, it was + supposed to be here three weeks ago! As of now, we have lost a few thousand + dollars, because of somones typo on your computers. I find it rather + silly that one should conduct business on computers, I earned my money + the old way, I worked hard for it, not relying on computers. So are you + going to send us the modem we payed for, and you have the money for, or will + I have to talk to your president? +C: We'll ship one right out. + +Of course, they don't get persuaded so easily, so you really have to convince +them your not pulling their leg! Shoot in amounts of money lost, and +so on. Work the lady in some! + +This trick will work for just about any company, Applied Engineering sells +all kinds of Apple peripherals, software companies such as Brodebund +will also do this. Any company that sells cheap parts wil fall for it +90% of the time. With larger goods like hard drives or computers you +will have to go through the other process. + +Some ideas for goods that will work -- stereos, car stereos, video +equipment, skiing equipment, electronic equipment (phones, computers), +software, and books (expenisive ones) + +Personal Favorites +------------------ + +Walk into a liquor store, and ask them if they take checks. If so take +what ever looks good -- not to much because you're gonna book like hell. +Just grab two cases, and go up to the cash register. Begin to write out +the check away from the clerk's eyes so he can't see your not writing at +all. In the middle of writing the check, ask the clerk if he can have +several boxes, now when the clerk goes into the back to look for your +fuckin boxes, take off with the two cases! Stash them in the car, and +take off. From here, have fun.

Only the first three (3) letters of the command are needed. A command +can be entered any time you are on the CB. (that is after you have gone onto +the CB itself) + +Here is a list of the current Commands in affect as of now: + + /HELp - This gives you a brief list and summary of commands. + /BYE - This is used to sign off of the CB and hang up the Phone. Everyone + on the CB will see that you have logged off. The Message will be: + is off + + /CALl jj - This is used to get the attention of another person on the CB. + For example, you might want to reach someone who is in the private + mode.(explained later) you can use this command to let them know + your waiting for them. + + jj-job number, you can find a job number of an individual by hitting /sta, + or /sho(explained later) + + /CHAnnel cc - This is used to change from one channel to another. The cc +is meant to be the channel number you want to select. For example, if you +are on channel 13 and you want to move to channel 27, enter the command:/CHA27 + + /ECHo - This turns on the echo mode. When you are in the echo mode, you +will see your messages, as well as the messages of everyone sharing your +channel. To turn off the echo mode, issue the command /XEC. + + /EXIt - This signs you off the CB and returns you to the GEnie menu. The +same as /QUIt.(this doesnt hang you up like /BYE) + + /HANdle hh - This allows you to change your handle. For example, the +command: /HAN NERD will change your handle to NERD! the command /HAN will +display your current handle. + + /MONitor cc - This allows you to monitor (listen) to up to 4 channels, +besides the one you are on. You can only talk on one channel, but you can +listen up to 5! + + /QUIt + +- Same as /EXIt. + + /PRIvate jj - This lets you enter private mode with another user. They +will recieve a message saying Job jj (your number) requests them in private +mode to answer yes...they type /Pri jj(your number) and you are thus in +private mode with them....note:during private mode no one can see what you say +not even GEnie! To exit private mode just type /XPRI. + + /SCRamble kkkk - This is used to@sle your messages. Messages will appear +scrambled to anyone who does not know the key kkkk. To use this command, first +decide on a four (4) character key word. Then exchange this key among your +group of people that you wish to talk to and dont want others to listen. After +logon, each member issues the same /SCR command.(ex:/SCRhack) Then text will +appear clear to all members. While in the scramble mode, you will also see +other messages that aren't scrambled.(note:this is good to put on a bbs +everyone call GEnie at 9:00pm on friday and goto channel 39 and type +/SCRhack, thus having a hack/phreak conference, et. alia...) + + /SHOw hh - This command displays the Job #, City, and state of the job with +handle hh. The display is similar to that of the /WHO command. + + /SQUelch jj - This command allows you to squelch unwanted output from job +jj. If you find a person offensive/annoying then squelch them. They will see +a message that you have squelched them. From that point on, you will see none +of their messages. Use the /XSQcommand to unsquelch them. + + /STAtus cc - This command allows you to see all the stats of everyone on the +same channel with you (handle,city,state,job numbers etc...) The cc is the +channel number you want the status of. If the channel number is omitted, the +status of your current channel is shown. Here are 3 examples of this command: + + /STA - displays the status of the current channel + /STA 15 - displays the status of channel 15 + /STA * - displays the status of all channels! + + /TIMe - This command displays the current time and day. It is the catalog + time, currently GMT + + /USErs - This command displays a chart showing the number of users on each +active channel. It is the same chart displayed during logon, but it is +updated showing the current balance of users. + + /WHO jj - Will identify a certain job number. + /XECho - This command turns off the echo mode. + /XMOnitor - Turns of Monitor mode. + /XPRivate - Takes you out of private mode. + /XSCramble - turns off scramble mode. + /XSQuelch - turns off squelch mode. + +----------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Here are a few zipcodes (not many but you can use these as much as you want) + + City State Zipcode + ======================================= + New York NY 10103 + Grafton WV 26350 + Needham MA 02194 + Portland OR 97229 + Wheeling IL 60090 + Laguna Hills CA 92653 + Newport RI 02840 + State College PA 16804 + Northbrook IL 60065 + Champaign IL 61820 + Mountain View CA 94043 + Columbus OH 43220 + Vancouver WA 98661 + Arlington Heights IL 60004 + Cambridge MA 02139 + Wynantskil NY 12198 + Vienna VA 22180 + Barrington IL 60010 + Jersey Shore PA 17740 + Seattle WA 98109 + Salina KS 67401 + Lexington MA 02173 + San Jose CA 95158 + Blawnox PA 15238 + Minneapolis MN 55430 + San Francisco CA 94111 + Fort Lauderdale FL 33314 + Latham NY 12110 + +Well that is enough zipcodes(etc..) for you, for now.

Call 1-800-TRY-LAYS (1-800-879-5297) + +2. An operator will answer, "Thank you for calling Try Lays from MCI." + +3. Say, "hi, I'm calling about my free long distance." + +4. Operator will say, "Sure, your name.. etc." + +5. Give her your name & address, it's ok, this code is guaranteed! + +6. Operator: "Could you please read out the code below the 800 number?" + +7. Here it is: 086940 + +8. Then she'll say if you like the chips or not, so say "no." + +Voila! + +Now, in order to get your full 2 hours worth, you can only call once a day. + + +- Raven Delta + Sept. 1992 + +Some fuckings must go to the lamest 12 year old co-sysop ever to hit the +scene: The Undertaker. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The preceding was intended for informational purposes only. + +The implementation of some of the above mentioned information may be a +violation of state and/or federal laws. + +The author does not take any responsibility over the misuse of the +aforementioned information, and the text itself does not encourage or +support the above type of activity.

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.

It might be pretty lame, +but I'll list some 950 extendors for those that dare to use them (hehe.) Well, +while you're at it, call these BBS's. + Brainstorm (612)345-2815 Little America (507)289-8211 Ok, here we go: + + Phreaking (free-king). n. The art of using limited supplies of codes, +systems, accounts, and boxes to insure the fact that you will not have to pay a +dime of an expensive long distance call. There are many ways of doing this and +some are listed here. + + 1)Boxes. Boxing is the method of using electronical impulses or non- impulses +to fool the phone company into thinking that the call had never been made or +that there was no answer. Here are a few boxes and their function to you. + + Red Box: Simulates the noise of a quarter dropping into a payphone. Blue + Box: Simulates the operator tone and gives you control of operator. Beige + Box: Allows you to control your neighborhood. Purple Box: Reduces all long + distance calls to local. Cheese Box: Destroys traces. Black + Box:(famous)Makes the operator think the phone wasn't answered. + + All right, I can probably get you the plans for any of those boxes, contact +me about it and I'll look. + + 2)LDX Codes: The most popular type of phreaking. You simply get an extendor +that can be local or an 800 number (watch out for LATA), and use it to access a +code base. You will get a tone, and at that tone you use a touchtone phone, or +even a modem, to enter the code. Then, after the code, you simply dial '1' and +the number. Some lines, however, like 1-800-437-3478 will have you dial a '9' +before the number. This is also an easy way to check for errors, and you can +read why later on. + + Hear are some companies to be familiar with. + + 1)Sprint- The same people who spent a billion dollars making your +connections clearer spent another half billion on security... then switched to a +950 (read about this later) and installed ANI. ANI, or Automatic Number +Identification, will immediately "trace" the number to it's source. Therefor, +with systems employing ANI, the person owning the account will see the number of +the caller and callee, and the length of the call next to the amount charged for +the call. + + 2)MCI- MCI is the leading company for long distance today. Their numbers are +everywhere. I'll list one or two of them later. It is incredibly easy to hack +their codes, since there are many of them, but most numbers are under constant +monitoring. You could go out and hack plenty of codes some night and have that +be the only night that they work. + + 3)Us Telecom- My personal favorite. They do have a 950, but as far as I know +the codes are universal. ANI is NOT employed by Us Telecom, despite the popular +rumor, so fear not. I am still seeking an 800 number for them, and I'm sure I'll +find one soon. + + 4)Metro- Incredibly common company. An absolute phreak out. They have shit +for security and I don't know a singl person that has ever been busted for using +one of them. They, also, I might list later. + + Well, those are the four major companies that this G-File will discuss a bit; +phone phreaking with codes is the bulk of this G-File, so lets explore some more +things you should know before we continue... + + 1)ESS- Electronic Switching System. It is definately the most used system +for phones used today. Most people wonder exactly what it does do, so here's a +breif history/description: ESS has only recently been added to most areas of the +country. If you live in places like Wyoming, Montana, and some other states in +that area, you should know that ESS is not in service yet, you have Step by Step +switching. It is far less sofisticated than ESS; ESS is the only system now that +can support ANI. So if you live in areas controlled by Step by Step Switching, +then phreak without fear for now... 800's are fairly safe for you. 800's are not +safe with ESS, because ANI can immediately trace so you are busted. With 950 +extendors, however, ESS is employed with only a few, such as Skylines +(950-1088). + + 2)ANI- Automatic Number Identification. Phreakers bane. See the above +section for some places where ANI and ESS are employed. Places using ANI are +clearly spending alot of money on their lines. ANI is the one and only system +that not only lists the callee, but also the caller. So if you are using Skyline +or something, it will clearly show up that you used someone else code to call a +number. Both numbers will be on file. Fortunatley, that evidence CANNOT show up +in court, they would have to set up a trap for you, checking to see who's code +was used and then setting up a trace to prove that you in fact used the code. + + 3)PBX- Private Branch Exchange. Better known as a teleconference. And I can +tell you that they are a trip! Although they aren't very easy to use, and most +have 20 digit codes, they are worth it. Unfortunately, a normal type PBX cannot +be used with a carrier to make a conference on modem, special PBX's are +available that will let you do so, however. I don't have any yet but when I do I +will have FUN! + + 4)LATA- Local Access and Transport Area. LATA is employed for when you call +an area in your area code and then find that you are billed not full but about +3/4ths of the long distance rate. That way, even though you could assume that a +"local" extendor would cost you nothing to call, it could cost you alot of +money. + + 5)CN/A- A hackers complete tool. It allows you, with a persons name and the +general area that he lives in, identify his phone number. Example: Lets just say +you met someone at a wild party and didn't get their phone number. A normal +person would be left in the dark, but someone with knowledge of CN/A would just +call (local prefix)-555-1212 and ask for any listings on (insert name.) This is +useful to hackers because they could see a company like "Protovision" (this is a +thing out of WarGames), call 555-1212, ask to be connected to that area codes +information, ask for any listings for that number. If none come up, he simply +asks for all of the prefixes and sets an auto carrier hunter (like WarGames +Dialer ][) out on all the prefixes. When he checks in it will tell him all of +the numbers with carriers attached and he can seek them out until he finds what +he's looking for. + + All right, memorize those terms, they are important in the life of a +"telecommunications hobbiest." Now that you know those, let us examine some +other things called extendors... + + 1)LDX- Long Distance Extendor. They are phone numbers rented out by Us +Telecom, Sprint or whoever, that will let you make phone calls for a cheaper +rate than AT&T. When you call these numbers, you will get some sort of tone that +indicates that you should enter your code now. After that, you must dial in the +number. These companies will use their switching systems to "switch" you from +the extendor to the number you are calling. Then they will meter the length of +the call and bill you for along their own rates rather than AT&T's. This way you +won't have to go through the trouble of direct billing and that sort of stuff. +Be warned! Even if you are extremely desperate, don't use one code for more than +three weeks! By the time someone gets the bill they might set up a trap for that +number and bill you directly. In other words, every time anyone makes a call +from that number using that code they will switch them over to AT&T to pay their +full rates. If that happens, consider yourself lucky that the person who's +account you were using isn't pressing charges, though sometimes they will even +after that. Now, LDX's come in a few forms... + + 1)800's. Most 800's employ ANI, so it is dangerous unless you live in a +part of the country listed above or are in a town with no local extendors. At +that point you can probably tell that they aren't employing ESS yet so you need +not worry about using it. + + 2)True Locals- Most true locals include your area code and your prefix. +They could be anywhere... for instance, I found an MCI extendor at the number +(215)563-9818 the other day while scanning the area of my favorite BBS. The best +way to discover a local extenor surely is one of two things: ask around till you +find it, or, the best and seemingly most dangerous way, get an account with the +company. If you never use it and/or destroy the number, you could find out the +extendor and hack away. + + 3)950's. Most people wince or blemish at the thought of using a 950 +extendor. Actually, a few are not as dangerous as they might seem. You can +safely use some 950's, but usually check them out with one of your friends +first, because you never know what could be running them. A few 950's will be +listed later, and many of them go by the same pattern, so are easy to find out. + + After all this, you must have something to be able to tell all of your f +friends about. This isn't much, but here are a few extendors to start you off +with. With these in mind, you should have a successful start to using codes as a +phreak. + + 950-1033 950-1044 950-1088 1-800-437-3478 1-800-345-0008 1-800-547-6754 + 565424 (none) + 473464 571-091 565426 + 444670 -106 565489 + 444737 -123 (that's it) + 392056 -127 + -------- -------- -------- -------------- -------------- -------------- + That should give you a small start to LDX Codes. + + Well, that should give you an idea for the beginning phreaker... this sort of +guide should be distributed to anyone who needs it, feel free to leech... it's +worth it. In the mean time, call these BBS's with a couple of those nice little +phreaks you have their... + + Brainstorm (612)345-2815 + Little America (507)289-8211 + Missing Link (806)799-0016 (phreak BBS) + Phreak Klass (215)673-6763 (phreak BBS) + Private Sector (412)379-8630 + + Later, +The Traveler + + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +% Some Way to fuck up Ma Bell: % +% The Advanced Course % +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% + + Yes, it has returned quickly basically because I had nothing else to do. Be +sure, before you start reading this that you have read the original Some Ways to +Ftck up Ma Bell, or that you are very aquanted to terms such as ESS, LATA, PBX, +SXS, XBAR, ANI, and CN/A. Also you must be familiar with the different ways that +companies present their code sequences. + + All right, no breif review here... just hopping right in. + + 1)Boxes, cont. According to the first G-File in this series, boxes are devices +that make strange electrical impulses that can be used to confuse operators. +Now, when you listen to your phone, it can make three nice basic tones. These +tones are available to all, and were designed so they could be used by anyone. +In army security, however, there is a fourth tone that a phone cannot make +unless it is a designed military phone. In other words, you could call a high +security computer, and it would require a different tone to even make te +connection. Now, of course, this is where probably the most crucial box, known +as the silver box, would come in. + + Another tone you must know at this time is Autovon. That is the basic system +that allows the silver box to manipulate the army tones. This special service is +the "trigger" (no pun intended) for the army's military computers. In order to +use it, however, you must be standing by a touchtone phone, with your computer +nearby. You dial the number (if your not phreaking it, stop reading this now) +and wait. When you get the tone, you should have some sort of external button +(different box makers have different ways of designing the outside of the boxes) +to press. If the tones are matching, then you will pass through the security and +will probably recieve a carrier or maybe another tone or code sequence. True +hackers will keep going despite everything though... however, if you want to be +a hacker, you are reading the wrong G-File. + 2)Codes, cont. Now, you can now be the basic code leecher. If you are taking +this advanced section here seriously (i.e. not someone who looks down on me +reading it to see how much old Trav knows) then from this point on thou shalt +not leech codes off of BBS's. Code leechers are the lowest form of phreaker. The +only instance you should code leech is when a friend of yours just hacked out an +entire thousand codes on some service. Phreakers shouldn't ask for the codes, +they should wait and see if they are granted to them or not. Phreakers don't say +please. The say "hey, sure, I'll take some codes!" Otherwise, you have to +realize this much: few dedicated phreakers are kind enough to post their codes +for all to take as soon as they hack them. Most phreakers will wear them out, +waiting until the person they are billing calls to gets his first phone bill... +and then they post them. By that time, there could be a trap up for phreakers +and you could get snagged. So you'll have to get your own codes. There are a +couple of ways to do that... + + 1)A phreak hacker: These useful programs are easily obtained. Usually a +separate program is needed for every modem type, but what they do is all the +same. The program will dial the number, and then start with the number you want +it to start with, and end with another number you select. Along the way, it will +pick up all the working codes by dialing some nonsense number like 111-111-1111. +Then it will see if it gets a basic "incorrect code" or an "the number is not is +service." If it is the former, then it won't record it; if it is the latter then +it will save it on disk or print it out on printer. + + 2)By Hand- Although many people will call me insane, I believe that this is +the better way of hacking phreaks. The dialer could alert the computer or +operator of someone hacking codes. If you remain fairly random with manual +hacking you will probably get the same amount as before. + + All right, next on the hit list is another basic function of phreaking that +wasn't mentioned in the last G-File... the real and proper use of a red box +pitted against the huge guidence system called... + + 1)ACTS- Automatic Coin Toll Service. ACTS is the main reason why we can't make +free calls from payphones. You think of the payphone. It has a single slot the +goes down the a small container for coins inside it that can be opened only with +a special key. We all know this much: it isn't the weight of the coin inside the +coin container the determines whether a coin has been deposited, it listens to +the clinks inside. The next time you make a call from a pay phone, listen +carefully to the sound of the coin being deposited. If you are inserting a +quarter, you will hear three clicks before the coin lands in the coin container. +With a dime, you will hear two. With a nickel, only one. There is a good reason +for that, and it is this: The coins are going through a special weighted device +that listens for clicks along the way. So if there is a series of clicks then, +the phone will assume that you deposited that much money into it. Therefor, if +you called someone who has a program like the classic "Cat's Meow", they could +give you some change from their own side. But that isn't the point of this. The +red box is. The red box can emulate the sound of a quarter inserting into a +payphone. It is not as difficult as it might seem. It is merely hooked into the +machine, and then, when a small catch is pulled, it makes that noise. Believe it +or not, at an electronics- computer summer camp I went to, someone rigged a +payphone there with a red box from the back of it; so if you knew about the +lever there you could pull it and make free calls anywhere (and you should have +seen the rest of the camp! Whew!). If you want the plans for a red box or the +silver box noted above, I know I have my silver box plans right on hand here, +and I'm sure I could dig up red box plans when they are asked for. + + The whole purpose of this was to give you an understanding of the way the +payphone works every time you insert a quarter. May you never have to do it +again! + + Now, this is a section about operatiing systems for the DECs. + + 1)DEC- Digital Equiptment Corporation. + + These are a few operating system for the Digital Equiptmenre run on. If you +easier to use. + + 1)DCL-Digital Command Language. These are usually found on most VAX and VMS +systems. The command language is basically made up of code sequences as an +operating system. + + 2)VMS- A DEC operating system run on a Vax Minicomputer. + + 3)EDT- An editor found on many DEC systems that, to put it mildly, is far +less than ideal. + + To find out more about DEC and it's operating systems, be prepared for the +next one in this series! I only briefly mentioned it here because it is not an +easy thing to learn about. So if your curiosity is really bugging you, then +leave me mail and I'll write faster. + + Now, away from the DEC's. Lets take a nice look at another factor that in the +near future might become another base for telecommunicatios... + + 1)CCIS- Common Channel Interoffice Signaling. Some people might call it an +intercom. But the basis of this is much more important than calling in a person +from the next room. It can already be employed onto a sort of tele- conference +type conversation. Because of the open channel, any number of people can be on +the same line as long as they are on the same portal type. In the near future +CCIS could grow into a major factor in telecommunications just for the clear +teleconference channels it could open. + + Right now, CCIS is just that, a common chanel INTEROFFICE signaling system. +Except for certain area where it can be employed across a couple houses in +length, it seems to be staying there for now. Because you have to remember this +much: you can dial into it, but not easily. They could have some sort of base +number to call that anyone else could call into. That way anyone could be on +conference. Then again, a PBX is a PRIVATE Branch Exchange, so it is far more +versitile at the tioe being. + + On to bigger and better things for now... I think I covered just about +everything I was supposed to cover in today, so I guess I'll shove off.

Just press SPACE to edit +them. Now to the table. + +To select an entry use the cursor keys for moving the little arrow. To change a +value push enter. + +As you can see there are 10 lines. Every line has 5 frequency entries. +The frequencies range from 0 Hz to 4009 Hz. The maximum length and delay for a +TONE (which consists of up to 5 frequencies) is 65000 ms. +Each frequency entry got its own volume. The volumes for the selected line are +below the frequency table. (in this example all volumes of line 2 still +have their default value 250). When editing the dialset there are no volumes +available. The volume played depends on the global volume (BREAKVOL). A value +of 511 for the BREAKVOL means 100% of the volume from a single frequency. +When you use more then one frequency and both BREAKVOL and frequency volume +got high values you get distortion which sometimes seems to be useful. +The values for the volumes range from 0-511. + +You can increase a value by 10/5/1 using the q/w/e key. To decrease you may do +this by using a/s/d. To edit the volumes additionally press the SHIFT-Key. + +To send the trunk press "+" - to dial your current dialstring press CTRL+ENTER. +To dial any other string of your current phone page press ALT + A..T +(A..T means that the entries range from A to T) + +Now to Volume Ramp: + +With the help of volume ramp you can tell the dialer to change to volume while +playing a tone. An example: + + + - Freq1 - Freq2 - Freq3 - Freq4 - Freq5 - Len --- Delay - Ramp Volume - + 2400 2600 0 0 0 200 0 30 300 150 + + +The tone (2400 Hz + 2600 Hz) which is played for 200 ms will increase its volume +from 30 to 300 within 150 ms. After these 150 ms it continues with a volume of +300. +If the time the tone needs to reach the endvolume is longer than the length of +the tone then the tone does not reach its endvolume but a volume between start +and end (sounds logical). + +It is also possible to decrease the volume while playing by using a high start +volume and a low endvolume. + +Volume Ramp disables the volume settings for each single tone and also the +global volume (BREAKVOL). So you can set a single volume for all of the 5 +frequency of a line without changing the single volumes. + +I think that it is explained enough. Toggle Volume Ramp on/off with "v" +When toggled "ON" then the frequency line will appear red. + + + + +Now to the key and scanner functions: + + +MAIN MENU (Dial/Trunk - Directory) +----------------------------------- + +0-9,*,# and A-H.....Play Tones of current Dialset (CTRL+BACKSPACE) +UP/DOWN.............Select entry +LEFT/RIGHT..........Select page +BACKSPACE...........Change between trunk/phonedir screen +CTRL+BACKSPACE......Change to dialset screen +SPACE...............Edit current Record (trunk or phone #) +DEL.................Delete current record +PGUP/PGDN...........Inc/Dec Break Volume +POS1/END............Inc/Dec Dial Volume +CTRL+POS1/CTRL+END..Inc/Dec global dialspeed +ALT +A..T ..........Dial entry A..T +CTRL+A..T ..........Choose trunk A..T and send it ++ / ENTER...........Send trunk/dial string +F9/F10..............Enable/Disable MiC-iN/LiNE-iN +F8..................The Scanner (Routing/PBX/VMB/CARD...) +H,?,F1..............Help +ESC.................QUiT + + +DIALSETSCREEN: +-------------- + +SPACE. .............Edit current DIALSET + +Editfunctions as in TRUNK-Edit Mode BUT +- no volume Ramp +- no volumes at all +...you'll see... + + +TRUNK-Edit Mode: +---------------- + +ENTER...............Enter new frequency +SPACE...............Enter new name & comment +q,w,e...............Inc value by 10/5/1 +a,s,d...............Inc value by 10/5/1 +BACKSPACE...........Delete current value (set to 0) +CTRL+BACKSPACE......Delete current trunk (whole record) +F9/F10..............Enable/Disable MiC-iN/LiNE-iN +PGUP/PGDN...........Inc/Dec break volume +POS1/END............Inc/Dec dial volume +CTRL+POS1/CTRL+END..Inc/Dec global dialspeed ++ ..................Send trunk/dial string +v...................Enable/Disable Volume Ramp +CTRL+LEFT/RIGHT.....Move to previous/next trunk +CTRL+ENTER..........Send current dial string +ALT+ A..T ..........Dial entry at [A..T] +H,?,F1..............Help!

Get ahold of some +opaque, (nontransparent), tape, and find the photosensor on the elevator door. +Cover this with the tape, and it will prevent the door from moving at all! Do +like so... + --- Elevator --- + || || + || || + || <- Door -> || + |* *| + || || + || || + ---------------- + + Tape up one or both of the asterisks, (which usually emit some noticable +light from one side, visible if you place your hand or something inbetween.) + + Elevators Part Two: You will need as many guys as elevators 4 this... +Go to the top floor and hold the door open, (with the door open button, not +the door switch). Get all of the guys to get all the elevators together at +the same floor as you also, and then tell them to press all the buttons on it. +Take the stairs down to the lobby and sit and watch what happens on the ground +floor... Gets to be quite humorous watching everybody trek up the stairway... + + Elevators Part Three: Go to the very top floor of the building, and +press the stop button. Leave, and try to stop up as many elevators as you can +before the management gets suspicious. + + levators Part Four: For this, you will need a lockpick, with some +knowledge of picking skill.. Find the keyswitch which reads as follows, "Fire- +Man's Priority," and do your best to pick the case. If you can get it open +somehow, you will be able to control where and when the elevator stops. (At +last, you won't have to be constantly interrupted by walkons.) But, you +should get off within 7 minutes of your "trip," lest you be detected and over- +ridden by the keyswitch found at the main lobby. + + Elevators Part Five: Go to the top floor, and jam a tennis ball into +the railing where the doors travel. If you are lucky, the door will remain +open and will prevent any use of that elevator.. I advise you to do this to +all of the elevators, so they cannot use one to go up and repair it.. Use the +stairs and go down a floor or two to avoid unwanted detection. + + Escalators: Press the emergency stop button and stop the thing..heh.. +really makes an "impact" on the older, more unbalanced passengers! Also, try +the following: As the step in front of you is raising brace your foot to +support it. At the end of the ride, the escalator won't be able to lower the +step, and it will act as an elevator jam! Another way to accomplish this is +by bracing your foot against the right or left sides of the escalator, so as +to misalign the alignment grooves. Another "nonchalant emergency stop..." + + HousePhones: Prank everybody in the hotel, tell them that, "there +is a problem with the database," and they should, "come down and reregister at +the front desk." + + Cable Descrambler: The cable boxes which use a key that you can +purchase from the front desk are easily picked with a paperclip and some time. +Also, with these kind of boxes, it is very recommended to get a maid's key, +which is available in many locked laundryclosets. "But how do I get in if its +locked?" you ask. No, you don't have to pick it, just wait. Sooner or later, +one will be left open, just walk around the hotel, and when the maids are +relocating sheets, they will leave them open for the simple reason that it +makes life easier without having to unlock-open-close-lock it everytime they +make another trip. A few seconds are all you need to get a key, and get into +a room, and "borrow" somebody else's cablekey. + + Another kind of cable unit frequently used in hotelrooms is the kind that +bills you automatically once you select a channel. Get this open, and try to +find the set of dipswitches in the rear of the unit which tells the front +desk which room to bill, and have phun at a fellow occupant's expense! + + Room Service: Since in most hotels, the switchboard cannot trace, you +can order room service to every room in the hotel.. Also, you can order your +food to another room while the occupant of that room is out. (Remember, you +have that maid's "master" key!) Accept the food, and don't forget to tell him +to add a generous tip onto the bill. Nobody will know anything's amiss until +they try to check out...ahem. + + The Sauna: A quick, easy, but always entertaining way of clearing out +the sauna is by pissing into a bottle or tub, and quickly dumping it onto the +rocks. The heat becomes unbearable, and the smell...ooh... + + General Planning: (Should have come at the beginning, eh?) Well, +always have some sort of a backup person/alibi/excuse to get you out of +trouble if you're caught or pursued. While I'm on the subject.. + + When running from security people, use the elevator as much as possible, +because you can throw them off by riding a floor down, running two up, etc.. +Also, always make sure that you aren't seen running from your last prank, this +is sure to make people notice that it's you who is causing the havoc - always +remain cool, calm, and collected. Remember, if you're ever caught, pleading +stupidity is a clear way to freedom -- the customer is always right! + + The lobby is NOT the place to mess around in. Use the top floors, it +takes security a lot longer to figure out what's going on up there. Also, do +not mess with fire alarms, it's a federal offense, and isn't humorous, (xcept, +of course, at 3:35AM..) + + Use the courtesy and lobby phones to your advantage, they're free, and +can come in handy when having to locate somebody. Also, if you can get access +to more places to explore, try the service elevator, it's usually not far from +the regular elevators, most often near the kitchen for room service delivery. +Ignorance is a good excuse here, again, "I really thought it was a public +elevator, sir..." Also, this elevator usually has access to floors that the +normal "peasant" elevator doesn't, they're always phun to phuck with. The +roof, basement, and machinery room are a few x-amples of "phun locations" +which are usually accessable thru the service elevator. If you can get to any +of these locations, search for the backup diesel generator. Activate it and +the combined power from the prime and secondary generators will provide you +with a rather impressive fireworx display... + +______________________________________________________________________________ + + That's about it...if you have any questions/complaints/hallucinations/ +comments/pangs/attractions on anything in this file, you can get in touch with +me at the Kangaroo HQ AE line, the number as listed below.

Reach underneath, behind it and find the +coolant line that is the largest. Next, find the little valve on it, it will +have a cap on it.

I designed and developed my own "box" which was about +6 x 3 1/2 x 1 1/2 in size. After getting the bugs out, I used my box for +about a year and a half. + +Then, in the winter of '73 my Uncle got busted (I had made him a box too). +Since my wife worked for Ma Bell it didn't take long for them to get their +suspicions up and put a tap on our phone. Then on March 10th, our apartment +was raided by Bell and their gestapo stooges. Fortunately, I had a little +warning because they also tried on March 9th at 7 o'clock in the morning but +didn't get an answer. + +After tearing our apartment apart, and in the process stealing some good porno +that they had no damn business taking, I was told that probably nothing else +would happen. Let this, however, be a lesson -- on March 20th I went to work +at 11pm, (The D.A.'s office knew I worked nights) and at 11:45 the local cops +arrested my wife on California Penal Code 702 (b) fraud, a misdemeanor. I went +to bail her out as soon as I heard what had happened and they arrested me too! +The bail was $300 each, more than we had, so I had to get a bondsman to bail us +out. + +I asked the cops why they had served the warrant so damned late and they said +that the D.A.'s office had given them those instructions. + +On March 24th my wife was suspended from her job as a frameworker at Pacific +Bell. This job had nothing to do with phreaking, there were no parts or +information which she could have supplied me even if she wanted to, she simply +didn't have access to such things. (The phone company security people admitted +this as well). + +I saw no easy way out and hired the Law Offices of Richard Monroe in Los +Angeles since they were reputed to have had some luck in fighting the Big Bell. +After over $1,200 in attorney's bills, I found out that "hard evidence" (ie. a +Blue Box), wasn't necessary for conviction. The tapes of five phone +conversations, including codes and routings was evidence enough, and was legal +evidence in court. + +Monroe told me that with expert witnesses and about 6 to 7 days in court, and +a bill for about $6,000, I might beat the rap. So I changed my plea to "no +contest" as part of a plea bargain. I was to pay the phone company what I owed +them (about $140) and serve a little summary probation. They would in turn +dismiss all charges against my wife. + +With that settled, we went to court and appeared before Judge Beverly Rance, +who incidently had signed the search warrant. She was willing to accept the +plea as applied to my wife but balked when it came to me. I was referred to +the probation department prior to sentencing and ordered to appear before her +again in one month. + +The probation officer tried to get me to admit that I still had a box, was +still operating and that I had, in fact, made more calls than I had been +charged with. I refused to play his game so he decided to stick it to me. +He recommended both jail and probation, even though the phone company didn't +want to press for jail at the time. + +Back in court Judge Beverly, who has a reputation for being an old battle-ax, +was given the probation officer's report. She was visably pleased and told my +attorney that the only thing wrong was that she had considerably more time in +jail figured for me. (The report had reccomended 5 days.) So I ended up with a +fine of $375; six days in jail (to be served on weekends); six months probation +and restitution to Ma Bell in the amount of $145.27. Last of all I had to +promise never to indulge in such activity again. + +One interesting fact came out during this affair. My attorney and a friend of +mine went to examine the phone company's evidence. Part of this was in the form +of computer print-outs and revealed that in addition to my apartment, 12 others +in our building had also been tapped. (A fact that is now denied, and probably +erased from the computer in any case.) The purpose of the multiple taps is to +see if you are, perhaps, using someone else's line to commit illegal acts. + +In trying to analyze why we got caught, I can only tell a story of my own +stupidity. First of all, we had an unlisted number for years and never had +trouble. It wasn't untill my wife listed the phone in order to take her +company discount that we stood out like a red flag. Ma Bell was checking up on +the numbers we were calling. Second, we got careless with the passing time to +the point of using names while calling. Third, some of my wifes calls were to +Finland (where she comes from) and lasted in excess of an hour, which of +course sounds the gong when they start checking for 800 numbers. And finally +we were damned fools for calling from home at all! Once or twice a month, in +an emergency, for 5 minutes or so probably would have been allright, but +with modern detection equipment anything from home is really foolish. + +I am now a little wiser, and out of the phone phreak business. I am still +fascinated by the phone company, perhaps more than ever as a result of what +has happened. I now collect what information I can on phreaking and the +law. Take my advice, if you want to play with Ma Bell, get to know her first. + + diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/getmail.txt b/textfiles.com/phreak/getmail.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..fcd426f7 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/getmail.txt @@ -0,0 +1,258 @@ + + ........................................... + ..... ..... + ... ======================= ... + .. ___ .. + . _ _ / / . + . // // /__ / . + . //_// // //merica . + . /___/nderground . + . . + . proudly presents . + . . + . ======================== . + . HACKING GTE TELEMAIL . + . written by . + .. MASTER MICRO .. + ... ======================== ... + ..... ..... + ........................................... + + +WHAT IS TELEMAIL? +================= + For many years, rich corporate mongers have invested in personal telemail +boxes for their employees. The generic term for this type of messaging system +is a "voice mailbox". It's nothing more than an answering machine with a few +extra frills. The good thing about voice mailbox hacking, is that there are +1-800 access numbers, which makes it easy for anyone who doesn't feel like +phreaking to your number, to leave you a message. + +OPERATING GTE TELEMAIL +====================== + To play with any voice mailbox, it is usually necessary to have a touch +tone fone. This incorporates the standard 0-9 digits and the two function keys. +The symbol that looks like a tic-tac-toe sign, "#", is called the pound key. +The other is an asterisk, and is called that, or the "star". You will need to +be farmiliar with those to use this system. + GTE Telemail, as like other voice mailoxes are VOICE. IE: You don't use +your modem for hacking this, it's all manual (pain in the butt, yes, I know). +If you like, you can try all this out while you are reading the file, just so +that you get used to the service. + The phone number for this service is: 1-800-348-6551. When you first dial +the number, and it answers, you'll hear this: " Hello. +You've reached the telemessages service. The person you are calling is +presently unavailable. To leave a message, enter the address of the person you +are calling; or to access your regular message box, enter the pound sign". + Most of the hacking that you are going to be doing is on the "regular +message box". This is where the people get the messages that people have sent +to them. You would dial the pound key after that announcement. To make your +life easier, you never have to wait for those recordings to finish. You can +interrupt the lady only after she has begun speaking, but you can dial the +pound key right after the beeps. After pressing the pound key, you will hear +another recording: "Please enter your id number". It is here that you would +enter someone's id number. You will then hear a short "beep". Another recording +will come on if it is a valid number: "You have XX new messages, and XX saved +messages". New messages are ones that you haven't heard yet, saved messages are +the ones that you wanted to keep for later reading, or rereading. + There are different types of boxes on this service. Some have "Greeting +Messages" and "Bulletins", some have a strange method of picking up messages. I +will go over those now: + If you have messages waiting, you can receive them by dialing "2". +Sometimes, it won't give you that option, so you will have to dial "011" for +your new messages, or "012" for your saved messages. When you are listening to +your messages, you may dial a "2" to pause, and another "2" to continue. A "3" +will rewind the messages a couple of seconds back, and a "4" will fast forward +the message. Usually, if you hit the "4" key twice in a row quickly, it will +jump to the end of the message and beep, giving you a second menu. + After you have heard the message, you are given these options: + 022: Reply back to the person + 021: Redirect the message + 7: Save the message + 5: Delete the message + Dialing the asterisk at any point is like an abort command. It usually will +stop what you are doing and go to the last menu before what you are currently +doing. If you dial the asterisk at the top menu, "To get your new messages, +dial 011...etc", you will get a recording that says, "GoodBye", and then be +hung up. + + +HACKING GTE TELEMAIL +==================== + ....is a pain, but it works. + + The object when hacking these things is find out as many 6 digit personal +id codes as possible. You see, to send someone a message, that involves a 7 +digit code. Since the 6 digit code is easier to get, and gives you more +information, you have to scan through an entire prefix of numbers to get as +many id codes as possible. + All you really need is a touch tone fone, and a notebook. It's handy if +your fone has some kind of memory, and you can recall any number at a single +touch. Like my fone here, there are 12 extra buttons that you can program +numbers into. + First, you have find out a prefix for Texas. You know, a prefix, the first +three numbers in a seven digit fone number, not counting the area code. There's +lots of ways to do this. You can either whip out your fone book, or dial +"1-214-555-1212" or "1-817-555-1212". Most of the time, you can phreak to those +two numbers from any service. I know that Sprint lets you. + Tear out a separate piece of paper from the notebook, and draw up a chart +that looks similar to this: + + 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 + 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 + 2 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 + 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 + 4 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 + 5 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 + 6 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 + 7 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 + 8 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 + 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 + + The chart stands for numbers from 00-99. The first row, represents "00-09", +the second row would be "10-19" (understand?). To read it, the number on the +farthest left is the first digit in the number, then you just go from "0-9" on +the rest of the row for the second digit. It's easier than writing out "00-99" +in order. + Now, take the 3 digit prefix in Texas, and add a "0" after it. In other +words, if the prefix you picked was "123" (No, that's not a real working +prefix), then you'd have "1230". If you are using the programmable fone that I +mentioned before, put this four digit number into a key, or somewhere on the +fone that you can retrieve it easily. + Dial up the number (1-800-348-6551), and wait for the +"", as soon as you hear the last sound, hit the +pound key. As soon as the lady begins to speak, hit the key that has those four +numbers programmed into it, or manually dial those four numbers. After that, +dial the two digit number that you get from the chart. This should make 6 +digits in all. If it's an invalid code, you will get this recording: "We're +sorry, we are unable to process the id you entered, please try again." As soon +as you hear the lady start to say "We're sorry", hit the asterisk button. +You'll hear two quick beeps. Cross out the number on the chart that didn't +work. For example: You just began the dialing, you picked "123" for a prefix, +and added the "0" on to get "1230". You were starting from the first line of +your chart, which looks like this: + 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 +You would dial the number and everything, press the pound sign, and hit the key +that had the "1230" on it, or if you didn't have that kind of fone, you would +dial the "1230" manually. You would then dial a "00". If that was invalid, and +the recording began saying "We're sorry....", you hit the asterisk, and then +cross out the zero (not the farthest one on the left). + If the code didn't work, you would go on to the next number. In the +example, you would be dialing "01". If the "123001" didn't work, you'd cross +out the "1" and go onto "02". + GTE Telemail only gives you three tries at getting an id code. On the third +try, you will get this kind of recording (which, by the way, you can abort, and +hit "*" where it will just hang up on you): "We are still unable to process +your id. For assistance, please call 800-527-1149. Thank You" . + + Now, let's say that you didn't get one of these recordings, but you heard a +short beep after you entered in the whole id. That means you got a working id +code! On your chart, don't cross out the number, but circle it. In the +notebook, write out the entire 6 digit id code. + If there are no messages on the box, just hit the asterisk until you hear +"good-bye", and go onto the next number on your chart. If there ARE messages, +you want to read them without the owner knowing. In some situations, that's +impossible, but just don't kill anybody's messages. + You want to try to keep all NEW messages NEW, so that if the original owner +of the box calls up, he will still have the same messeage. GTE operators throw +a pissy fit if the messages aren't going through, and they order all of these +conferences with their customers. Anyhow, if there is only 1 new message, after +you've listened to it, press the "*" button, and that will keep the message +new. If there are more than one, press "7" to put the message into the "saved +messages bank" after you have listened to them, except for the last message, +which you can still keep as new by hitting the asterisk. + Reading saved messages is easier because nobody has to know that you did +it. Usually after reading your new messages, the system will say, "beginning +saved messages" if there are any. Otherwise, just dial "012" from the main menu +for the saved messages. Remember to save all of these messages with the "7" +button. + Now, the object here, when listening to all of these messages is to find +out as much information as possible about the owner of that id code, and the +people that are sending the message to that box. Let's say you are listening to +a message, and you hear this: "John, this is Michael". That's great, you would +scratch down "John - Michael" in your notebook right after where you wrote down +that box's id number. This will remind you that John owns that box, and Michael +sent the message to him. + If you EVER hear them giving out the 7 digit address codes over a +telemessagenger, be sure to write that down too. Any other information is +handy, too. + + Now, what on earth are you going to do with all of this information? You're +going to set up your own boxes! Or at least take over other people's boxes. The +first method is called "Read and Reply". Let's say, for example, you had one +box, and a message was sent that said, "Hello John, this is Michael.", and on +another box, you heard a message that said, "Hello Michael, this is Judy", you +might have a match. You see, since you now know Michael's box number, and +Michael sent a message to this John dude, all you have to do is go to the first +box and reply to the message that Michael sent, and it will be sent back to +Michael's box. + So, this is exactly what you must do if you think you have a match (I will +use the example above for references to make this easier): + Ex.: + Id Code: 123000 had a message to John, from Michael + Id Code: 123050 had a message to Micahael, from Bubba. + + Ok, so you think that you have a match. You would go to the box that had the +message >FROM< the guy who's box you know. In other words, you would dial +"12300", and listen to the John/Michael message again. Press the "4" button to +fast forward through the message, until you hear the beep. Dial a "022" to +reply to the message. You would then dial a "1" to begin your message +recording, where you would say the last 3 digits into the phone (in this case, +you would say "000"), and press "5" to end the recording. It will then say "You +reply has been sent. You may now dial 022 to reply...etc". Just press the +asterisk until it says "good-bye", and call back. When you get on, get onto +the id number 123050, because that's the id that you think is the same that +sent that John dude a message. If there is a new message, with your voice +saying "000" into it, you got it! More on this in a second. + Don't cry if the boxes don't match up and the message doesn't go through. +There is still a chance that there are other people with the same name. Just +set them up the same way. Now, if, when you first listened to the messages on a +box, heard your voice saying three digits, but you never tried matching them up, then you just got a box! Write down the two numbers together somewhere. + + If you have two matches, this is what you do... I am going to use the +examples above with the 123000 and 123050 boxes. Ok, now you have two boxes +that are "linked" through messages. Your next mission is to get both boxes to +have messages from one another that have YOUR voice on it, and to kill all +other messages. In this example, this is what you would do: Get onto the 123000 +box and reply to the "from michael" message. For your message, don't say +anything, just have about 7 seconds of silence, and then finally hit "5" to +finish the message. Next, you would go to the 123050 box, and would listen to +the 7 seconds of silence message that you just sent. Reply back to this, and do +the same thing. So now, both boxes have these "7 seconds of silence" or "blank" +messages in their boxes. N GTE Telemail, as like boxes and kill all of the +other messages in the box. Everything, even the "michael" message goes. + You have now siezed the box, and it is at your will. You must pick one box +to be your "update" box, and the other to be your "pickup" box. The "Update" +box is the one that will have your greeting message on it, like "You've dialed +Master Micro's box, to send him a message, dial 022 after the tone." The +"Pickup" line is the box that will be used for only YOU, where you read +messages that other phreaks have left you. To set these up, do the following: + Go to the box you picked as your "pickup" line. Read the blank message and reply to it. For the message, say whatever, like "This is so-and-so's box, dial +022 after the beep to reply". You then dial up the update line, read the +welcome message that you just sent, and hit "7" after listening to it to save +it. You'll hear the blank message somewhere, either as your new or your saved +message. Kill the blank message on the update line. Now, if you ever wanted to +change your greeting message, go to the pickup line, record a new message by +replying to the blank one; go to the update line, and kill the old greeting +that you don't want, and save the new one. + Once you have your box set up, all you have to do is give all your phreak +phriends the address and instructions to the update line. Tell them to save the +messages when they read it, and to reply to it using 022 if they want to send +you a message. Occassionally, check your pickup line for new messages, and kill +them after you have read them just in case the owner of the box catches on and +changes his id code. + + The other method to set up boxes is used mainly for setting up codelines, or +other kinds of boxes where you don't want replies, or it is not totally +necessary to have replies. A codeline is a voice box that you have devoted to +telling your phriends new codes, and any other new info. Setting these up are +easy as hell, and you can make as many as you want, but there is a catch. You +must have figured out both the 7 digit address code, and the 6 digit id code +for the same box. Let's say there was a dude named Frank, and his address code +(the number you dial as soon as you get on, instead of dialing the pound key +and id number, to send the guy a message) was "1234567", and his id code was +"098765". First, to find out if the address and the id code are the same, you +do the same method of matching up first names. Call up the telemail service, +and instead of dialing the pound key and everything, dial the 7 digit address +code, and send a message saying something + diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/gloss.txt b/textfiles.com/phreak/gloss.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..f5dbbb8d --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/gloss.txt @@ -0,0 +1,191 @@ + + ...................................................................... + ...................................................................... + .

"By the time the customer gets his +phone bill, the criminals are long gone." + The Detroit Newpaper Agency (DNA), publisher of the Detroit News and Free +Press, recently became a victim of one variation of the telescam. + Three months ago, DNA employees starte fing strange messages in the +company's computerized voice mail system. The messages were intended for +someone else and were left by callers wdentified themselves as "Black +Lightning," "Phantom," or "Plastic Man." + What initially appeared to be a glitch in the voice mail system turned out +to be the wof a hacker who broke into the message system through a dial-in +maintenance line, said telecommunications manager Ricardo Vasquez. + Once inside, the hacker cracked the system administrator's pass code and +set up score of voice mailboxes for freinds and associates who dialed in on +the DNA's toll-free number. + Later, officials at Sl Oil Co. in Huston and Shearson Lehman Bros. in +St. Louis notified Vasquez that their voice mail systems had been penetrated +by hackers who left messages urging their friends to call a mail box at the +DNA. + "We were lucky," Vasquez said. "Our losses amounted to only a few hundred +dollars for calls on our toll-free phone line." + He said the company's losses would have beenfar worse had the system been +equipped tlow the intruders to make worldwide long-distance calls on DNA +phone lines. + Vasquez said the DNA does not plan to request a criminal investigation +because losses were small. + Officials at Shell Oil and Shearson Lehman declined to comment. + Michigan Bell security employees referred inquiries to the public +relations staff, which, in turn, referred inquiries to the Tigon Corp., an +Ameritech subsidiary in Dallas which sells and leases voice mail systems. + "It is a growing problem and people need to be aware of it," said Tigon +spokeswoman Jill Boeschenstein. "In most cases, has try to get in to have +some fun and fool around with the message system. + "The real expense comes when they're able to make outgoing calls that the +company ends up paying for. That can be a considerable sum before the company +realizhat is going on." + Boeschenstein said companies that uy or lease voice mail systems are +responsible for unauthorized usage. She said companies can protect their phone +systems relatively easily be using longer pass codes and disconnecting +maintenance phone lines, which enable system administrators to operate the +system from a remote location. Boeschenstein also said companies should do a +more thgh job of monitoring their systems. + Telecommunications expert Haugh, whose company interviewed more than 400 +toll-fraud victims or near victims, said the most the most sinister telephone +hackers break into a phone system and set up hidden mail boxes, then sell them +to drug, prostitution and child pornography rings that want to make free calls +that are hard to trace. + Hackers also marke mailboxes to nationwide rings that sell long-distance +phone calls for $10-$30 apiece from payphones on the streets of large U.S. +cites. Haugh said many of the customers are immigrants who want to call +relatives in their homelands. + A favorite time for hackers to sell phone services is on weekends, when +companies aren't using or monitoring thier phone systems, some of which aer +capable of handling hundreds of lodistance calls simultaneously. + Haugh said one nationally known manufacturer, which he declined to +identify, belatedly discovered that it was on the hook for $1.4 million worth +of long distance calls made on it's phone lines in just one weekend. + And after companies are victimized, they rarely are willing to discuss it +publicly. + "They're afraid of bad publicity or liability and in almost all cases +their fears are unfounded," Haugh sa"It's a very foolish attitude.

When the subscriber answers the phone, it +switches to the two wire circuit for the conversation. + +This method allows two parties on the same line to be signalled +without disturbing each other. + +This particular subscriber, an elderly lady with several pets called +to say that her telephone failed to ring when her friends called and +that on the few occations when it did manage to ring her dog always +barked first. Torn between curiosity to see this psychic dog and a +realization that standard service techniques might not suffice in this +case, Pat proceeded to the scene. Climbing a nearby telephone pole +and hooking in his test set, he dialed the subscriber's house. The +phone didn't ring. He tried again. The dog barked loudly, followed +by a ringing telephone. + +Climbing down from the pole, Pat found: + + a. Dog was tied to the telephone system's ground post via an iron chain +and collar. + + b. Dog was receiving 90 volts of signalling current. + + c. After several jolts, the dog was urinating on ground and barking. + + d.

As this service branches out to more +cities, it could become a *VERY* inexpensive alternative to standard LD +services for your data communications calls. This service also cuts down +drastically on the usual long distance noise experienced. This information was +uploaded to the TBBS SYSOP support board by a user in the Houston area. + + +.

The TWX +machines had their own switches, located in existing telephone central +offices, but on separate equipment. About twenty years ago, a court ruling +required Bell to sell its TWX service to Western Union, in a suit brought by +WUTCO against AT&T. WUTCO operated the system as TWX for many years, and in +the past five years has changed the name to Telex II. The Western Union +central offices for Telex I (the original telex network) have always been +in WUTCO offices. The central offices for Telex II (formerly AT&T's TWX) are +still in Bell central offices, although they now belong to WUTCO. Is that +clear? You cannot dial into those numbers. + +The WUTCO codes more or less match certain areas of the country, but in +recent years they have been more randomly assigned. If you see a number which +looks like a phone number, but has one of those leading codes, it is actually +a TWX machine. + +When the present unassigned area codes of the conventional format have all +been used, sometime around 1992-1995, area codes 210,211,310,311,400,500,511, +600,711 and 811 will be next in line for assignment. + +[Note as of 1993, 210 and 310 in use.] + +Whether or not you want to include these special numbers in the chart given +in the earlier message depends on if you want strictly a listing of the +*dialable* codes used by the voice network at present, or if you want to +include all *assigned* codes. And while 700-800-900 are not strictly +speaking area codes, my belief is they definitely should be added to the list. + +========================================================================== + +Date: Mon, 2 Jan 89 20:30:08 EST +From: scotts@bu-it.BU.EDU +To: telecom@bu-it.bu.edu +Subject: 800 Service + + As some readers of this list may not know, under Equal Access, +any long-distance company can carry 1-800 traffic. Which carrier gets +the call is determined (at the moment) by the NNX of the number. I.E. +1-800-528-1234 (The nation-wide number for making reservations at a +Best Western Motel) is carried by AT&T. While 1-800-888-1800 is +carried by MCI. + + The carrier must have Feature Group D presence for originating +calls from the originating exchange (either direct, or through an +access tandem). + + In the future, when CCIS becomes wide-spread, a query will be +made in the database [Who gets 1-800-985-1234?] and the call will be +routed appropriately. To clarify: Now the carrier is determined by +the NNX. In the future, the carrier will be determined by the entire +7 digits. + + A similar situation exists with 900 service. Each carrier can +reserve NXX-s from BellCore (the people who among a zillion other +tasks are in charge of handing out prefixes and area codes). They're +not cheap! To get the actual number is free (there are qualifications +that I don't deal with), but to get it 'turned on' in a LATA costs you +money, depending on (1) How many prefixes you're getting, (2) whether +it's 800 or 900 service, (3) How many Tandems/End Offices are in the +LATA. It requires a discrete amount of labor for EACH office, because +EACH routing table must be modified. + + Of the 800 possible NXX-s, 409 are currently assigned. A +long-distance carrier can get one 800 and four 900 numbers just for +the paperwork. But to get more than that, you have to show that +you're 70% full now, and demonstrate a real need for the capacity. + + I have included the entire 800-NXX to long-distance carrier +translation table.

These vary typically from 35 cents to a few dollars for +either a timed service, or a 'as long as you like' duration-sensitive +service. There are two sub-species of 900 service, AT&T and +"everybody else". + +Finally there is 700 service, which many people remember as Alliance +Teleconferencing. This is the third "canonical" SAC. With few +limitations, this SAC is given over to the IEC entirely. + +Let's look at these in more detail: + +800 service is offered by various IECs. Each NXX in the 800 SAC is +assigned to a given carrier, who is responsible for assigning numbers +from that block to customers, and providing 10 digit translation. +When you as Joe Customer dial 1-800-222-1234 (made up number, please +don't bother them) it will initiate the following sequence: + +1. If you are in an Electronic Office (DMS-100, DMS-200, 1A ESS, #5 +ESS) the 800-222 will be translated to "AT&T" and search for an +opening in a trunk group marked for 800 origination. Should none be +found, bump to step 3. + +2. If you are in a non-electronic office (SXS, XB, and some flavors +of ESS), it will go to the access tandem that your office 'homes' +on, where 800-222 will be translated to "AT&T". + + [note that if at this point, the number doesn't have a translation, +you will get a "lose" recording from the CO] + +3. Find a trunk in a trunk group marked for 800 origination. Should +none be found, give the customer a recording "Due to network +congestion, your 800 call could not be completed" or die, or whatever. +(Depends on phase of moon, etc.) + +4. The end office will then send the following pulse-stream (in MF): + + KP + II + 3/10D + ST + KP + 800 222 1234 + ST + + (note that this is a simplification, there are some fine points of +ANI spills that are beyond the scope of this article) + + II = 2 information digits ... typical values are: + 00 normal ANI .. 10 digits follow + 01 ONI line ... NPA follows + 02 ANI failure ... NPA follows + 3/10D = 3 or 10 digits. Either the NPA, or the entire 10 + digit number. + KP and ST are control tones + +5. The carrier receives all of this (and probably throws the ANI into +the bit bucket) and translates the 800 number to what's called a PTN, +or Plant Test Number. For Example, 617-555-9111. Then, the call is +routed AS IF the customer had dialed that 10 digit number. Of course, +the billing data is marked as an 800 call, so the subscriber receiving +th call pays the appropriate amount. + +900 Service. As I mentioned earlier there are two flavors of 900 +service, AT&T, and "Everybody Else". Everybody else is handled +exactly as 800 service above, except the IEC will probably use the ANI +information to send you a bill. (Either directly, or through your +BOC, each situation governed by applicable tariffs and contractual +arrangements between the IEC and the BOC) + +AT&T 900 is a curious monster indeed. It was designed as a "mass +termination" service. When you dial a 900 # by AT&T (such as the +"hear space shuttle mission audio" number) you get routed to one of +twelve "nodes" strewn throughout the country. These nodes are each +capable of terminating 9,000 calls >PER SECOND<. There are several +options available, where the customer and/or the IP pay for all/part +of the call. The big difference between 800 and AT&T 900 is >NOT< +"who pays for the call" (there are free 900 numbers) but "how many +people can it handle at once". The IP is responsible for providing +program audio. AT&T is prohibited from providing audio-program +services (i.e. tape recorded messages) [As with any rule, there are +exceptions to these as well] + +The last SAC we'll deal with is 700. I've seen ads on late-nite +television for Group Access Bridging service (GAB) under 700 numbers, +with a elephantine dialing sequence. The one that comes to mind is +10041-1-700-777-7777. [I make no guarantee about the quality or +availability of this service. I don't even know if it still exists.] +If you were to dial 1-700-555-4141 you will hear a recording +announcing your Equal-Access carrier. (Some carriers ignore the last +four digits, and any 700-555 number will give the announcement). + +This is signalled the same as 800 service, and may or may not be +billed ENTIRELY at the discretion of the IEC. In New York, under PSC +tariff you can order 900 and/or 700 blocking as well as 976, 970, 550, +and 540 blocking in various (but not entirely orthogonal) +combinations. + +What in ONE carrier might be a customer service hotline (Dial 1-700-I +AM LOST) might for another be a revenue product. There is LITTLE +standardization of 700 usage from IEC to IEC. + +The one last dialing pattern that is worth mentioning is what's +called, "cut through dialing". Try dialing 10220#. If Western Union +comes to your town, you'll get a FG-A style dial tone. Presumably if +you had a Western Union "Calling Card" [I don't know their term for +it] you could dial a call. (If someone DOES have WU service, could +they please check this out for me?) + +Glossary: + +ANI - Automatic Number Identification. An MF sequence that identifies +your line for toll billing information. Often confused with ANAC +(Automatic Number Announcement Circuit) which reads your number back in +a synthesised voice. + +BOC - Bell Operating Company. A often misused term (even in this very +article :-) that in general usage means, "Your local exchange +carrier." Since most of the telephones in the country are served by +what used to be the Bell system, we tend to use the term. The proper +term in this case, however IS "Exchange Carrier [EC]" They provide +service within your LATA. + +FG-A - Feature Group A. Line Side termination for Long Distance +carriers. The old 555-1234 for Widget Telephone Company then dial an +access code and the number style dialing is called FG-A. + +FG-B - Feature Group B. Trunk Side termination for Long Distance +carriers. (aka ENFIA B). 950 service. This is LATA wide service, +and doesn't cost the customer message units. ANI is only provided +when the trunks terminate in the End Office (as opposed to an access +tandem). + +FG-D - Feature Group D. Trunk Side termination. Provides 10xxx +dialing, 1+ pre-subscription dialing, and Equal Access 800/900 +service. Only available in electronic offices and some 5XB offices +(through a beastie called an Adjunct Frame.) + +GAB - Group Audio Bridging. Where several people call the same +number, to talk to other people calling the same number. "Party" or +"Chat" lines. + +IEC - Inter-Exchange Carrier. Someone who actually carries calls from +place to place. AT&T, Sprint, MCI are all IECs. + +IP - Information Provider. Someone who sells a value-added service +over the telephone. Where you pay for the INFORMATION you're +receiving, as well as the cost of TRANSPORT of the call. + +NXX - Notation convention for what used to be called a "prefix". N +represents the digits 2 through 9, and X represents the digits 0 +through 9. There are 800 valid NXX combinations, but some are +reserved for local use. (411 for Directory, 611 for Repair Bureau, +911 for emergency, etc.) + +ONI - Operator Number Identification. In areas with some styles of +party-line service, the CO cannot tell who you are, and the operator +will come on and say, "What number are you calling from?". You can +lie, they have to trust you. They MAY know which PREFIX you're coming +from, though. + +PTN - Plant Test Number. A regular 10 digit number assigned with your +inward WATS line. This may NOT be a 'dialable' number from the local +CO. (A friend has a WATS line in Amherst, MA [413-549, #5 ESS] and +you cannot dial the PTN locally, but you can if you come in on a toll +trunk.) + +SAC - Special Area Code. Bellcore speak for area codes that aren't +really places, but classes of service. + +============================================================================ + +Closing note: The information in this [Guide to North American Area Codes] +first appeared in various parts in TELECOM Digest Volume 9, issues 2 and 15; +January 3 and January 15, 1989. + +[Note: Various updates made throughout 1992 and 1993 by Carl Moore, others.] + +TELECOM Digest is published once or twice daily; is distributed to a +list of telecom enthusiasts and industry employees.

WHAT IS DONE IS THAT A PERSON +ENTERS AS A "NEW" USER AND USES THE SYSOP'S NAME WITH A SPACE BEFORE THE FIRST +NAME. THIS BYPASSES ALL THE "NAME IN USE" CHECKS BUT AWARDS THE PERSON A +SYSOP SECURITY OF 64 UPON ENTRY. THE SIMPLE REMEDY WOULD BE TO NOT ALLOW +SPACES IN A NAME THAT AREN'T INBEDDED.

GOOD NOW THAT YOU HAVE +ACCESS TO THE SYSTEM, GOTO EITHER THE MESSAGE BASE TO POST A MESSAGE, OR SEND +FEEDBACK, OR IN E-MAIL. THEN JUST TYPE IN A FEW LINES OF GARBAGE. THEN TYPE +IN THE WORD "DONE" AND EDIT ONE OF THE LINES. NOW THAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO EDIT +ONE OF THE LINES, JUST PRESS CTRL-I AND HOLD IT DOWN AND YOU WILL BEGIN TO SEE +THE CURSOR GOTO THE RIGHT OF THE SCREEN AND THEN BEGIN TO BEEP LIKE CRAZY +WITHOUT AN END. SO NOW YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY CRASHED A GBBS "PRO" BBS, AND +THE SYSOP HAS TO REBOOT HIS SYSTEM. IF WHEN YOU PRESS CTRL-I AND NOTHING +HAPPENS, THEN THE SYSOP HAS ALREADY PROTECTED HIS BOARD AGAINST THE CTRL-I +CRASH, SO GO PHONE UP ANOTHER GBBS 'PRO' BBS AND SEE IF YOU CAN CRASH THAT +ONE. +NOW FOR THE SYSOP, IF YOU WANT TO PROTECT YOUR COPY OF GBBS 'PRO' FROM THE +CTRL-I CRASH THEN DO THE FOLLOWING: +BLOAD ACOS.OBJ +CALL -151 +528E + IF THE RESULT GIVES YOU 528E- 09 THEN TYPE 528E:FF + BSAVE ACOS.OBJ,A$1800,L$4900 +OTHERWISE + TYPE 528B + THE RESULT SHOULD BE 528B- 09 THEN TYPE 528B:FF + BSAVE ACOS.OBJ,A$1800,L$4900 +NOTE: MAKE ONLY ONE OF THESE MODS, BUT NOT BOTH.

THIS +WILL CREATE A ONE SECTOR FILE CALLED "J.3.5.SYS" WHICH WILL NEVER BE ERASED +UNLESS THE SYSOP HIMSELF CATALOGS THE DISK AND DELETES THEM ALL BY HAND. +TO DESTROY ALMOST ANY SYSTEM FILE, THERE MUST BE A BOARD SHARING DRIVE 1, +WHERE MOST OF THE SYSTEM FILES ARE KEPT. POST A MESSAGE CALLED: +USERS.SYS +TITLES OR TITLES1 OR TITLES.1 +MENU.SYS +WITH A SPACE IN FRONT OF IT. FOR INSTANCE, TO DESTROY THE PASSWORD FILE, POST +A MESSAGE CALLED " USERS.SYS", THE SPACE IN THE FRONT IS LOST WHEN THE FILE IS +RE-READ. NOW GOTO ANOTHER BOARD, AND THEN BACK TO THE BOARD YOU POSTED ON, +THEN REMOVE THE MESSAGE THAT YOU JUST POSTED. THIS WILL DELETE "USERS.SYS" +AND LEAVE " USERS.SYS" ALONE. +IF YOU WANT TO GET INTO MONITOR (THIS IS THE BEST CRASH THERE IS, I THINK). +IF THE BOARD YOU ARE CRASHING HAS NOT BEEN PROTECTED FROM IT, THEN IT WILL +ALWAYS A) HANG TOTALLY OR B) GO INTO THE MONITOR.

IF CTRL-C WORKS, THEN YOU'RE INTO BASIC. IF IT DOESN'T WORK, THEN +YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE SYSOP TO COME ALONG AND RE-RUN HIS BOARD. +NOW IF YOU GET INTO BASIC, THEN CHECK TO SEE IF HE HAS HIS PROGRAM SAVED ON +HIS DISK.

IF YOU ARE ON ANOTHER +UNIX-TYPE SYSTEM, SOME OF THE COMMANDS MAY VARY, BUT SINCE IT IS LICENSED TO +BELL, THERE CAN'T BE TOO MANY CHANGES. HACKING ONTO A UNIX SYSTEM IS VERY +DIFFICULT, AND IT IS GOOD TO HAVE AN INSIDE SOURCE, IF POSSIBLE. IT'S VERY +DIFFICULT TO HACK A VAX SINCE, AFTER YOU GET A CARRIER FROM A VAX, YOU SEE +"login:" THEY GIVE YOU NO CHANCE TO SEE WHAT THE LOGIN FORMAT IS. ALTHOUGH, +MOST COMMONLY THESE ARE SINGLE WORDS, UNDER 8 CHARACTERS, AND USUALLY THE +USER'S NAME. THERE IS HOWEVER A WAY AROUND THIS. MOST VAX HAVE AN ACCOUNT +CALLED "suggest" FOR PEOPLE TO USE TO MAKE A SUGGESTION TO THE SYSTEM ROOT +TERMINAL. THIS IS USUALLY WATCHED BY THE SYSTEM OPERATOR, BUT LATE AT NIGHT, +HE IS PROBABLY NOT AROUND. SO NOW WE CAN WRITE A PROGRAM TO SEND TO THE VAX, +THIS TYPE OF MESSAGE; A SCREEN FREEZE (CTRL-S), SCREEN CLEAR (SYSTEM +DEPENDANT), ABOUT 255 GARBAGE CHARACTERS, AND THEN A COMMAND TO CREATE A LOGIN +ACCOUNT, AFTER WHICH YOU CLEAR THE SCREEN AGAIN, THEN UNFREEZE THE TERMINAL. +WHAT THIS DOES IS THAT WHEN THE TERMINAL IS FROZEN, IT KEEPS A BUFFER OF WHAT +IS SENT. THE BUFFER IS ABOUT 127 CHARACTERS LONG, SO YOU OVERFLOW IT WITH +TRASH, AND THEN YOU SEND A COMMAND LINE TO CREATE AN ACCOUNT (SYSTEM +DEPENDANT). AFTER THIS YOU CLEAR THE BUFFER AND SCREEN AGAIN, THEN UNFREEZE +THE TERMINAL. THIS IS A BAD WAY TO DO IT, AND IT IS MUCH NICER IF YOU JUST +SEND A COMMAND TO THE TERMINAL TO SHUT THE SYSTEM DOWN, OR WHATEVER YOU ARE +AFTER. THERE IS ALWAYS AN ACCOUNT CALLED "root", WHICH IS THE MOST POWERFUL +ACCOUNT TO BE ON, SINCE IT HAS ALL THE SYSTEM FILES ON IT. IF YOU HACK YOUR +WAY ONTO THIS ONE, THEN EVERYTHING IS EASY FROM HERE ON. THE ABORT KEY ON THE +UNIX SYSTEM IS CRTL-D. WATCH HOW MANY TIMES YOU HIT THIS, SINCE IT IS ALSO +AWAY TO LOG OFF THE SYSTEM. SOME USEFUL THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE UNIX +ARCHITECHTURE; THE ROOT DIRECTORY, CALLED "root", IS WHERE THE SYSTEM RESIDES. +AFTER THIS COME A FEW 'SUB' ROOT DIRECTORIES, USUALLY TO GROUP THINGS, SUCH AS +STATS, PRIVATE STUFF, THE USER LOG, ETC. HERE. NEXT COMES THE SUPERUSER (THE +SYSTEM OPERATOR), AND THEN FINALLY THE NORMAL USERS. IN THE UNIX SHELL +EVERYTHING IS TREATED THE SAME. WHAT I MEAN BY THIS IS THAT YOU CAN ACCESS A +PROGRAM THE SAME WAY AS YOU ACCESS A USER DIRECTORY, AND SO ON. THE WAY THAT +THE UNIX SYSTEM WAS WRITTEN, IS THAT EVERYTHING, EVEN THE USERS, ARE JUST +PROGRAMS BELONGING TO THE ROOT DIRECTORY. THOSE OF US THAT CAN HACK ONTO THE +ROOT SMILE, SINCE YOU CAN SCREW EVERYTHING UP. THE MAIN LEVEL (OR EXEC LEVEL) +PROMPT ON THE UNIX SYSTEM IS THE $, AND IF YOU AREON THE ROOT, YOU HAVE A # +(SUPER-USER) PROMPT. NOW AS FOR A FEW BASICS OF THE SYSTEM; TO SEE WHERE YOU +ARE AND WHAT PATHS ARE ACTIVE IN REGUARDS TO YOUR USER ACCOUNT, TYPE "PWD". +THIS SHOWS YOUR ACCOUNT, SPERATED BY A SLASH WITH ANOTHER PATHNAME (ACCOUNT), +POSSIBLE MANY TIMES. TO CONNECT THROUGH TO ANOTHER PATH, OR MANY PATHS, YOU +WOULD TYPE "path1/path2/path3" AND THEN YOU ARE CONNECTED ALL THE WAY FROM +PATH 1 TO PATH 3. YOU CAN RUN THE PROGRAMS ON ALL THE PATHES THAT YOU ARE +CONNECTED TO. IF IT DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO CONNECT TO A PATH, THEN YOU HAVE +INSUFFICIENT PRIVILEGES, OR THE PATH IS CLOSED AND STORED ON TAPE. YOU CAN +ALSO RUN PROGRAMS BY TYPING "path1/path2/path3/program-name". SINCE UNIX DOES +TREAT EVERYTHING AS A PROGRAM, THERE ARE A FEW COMMAND THAT YOU MAY HAVE TO +LEARN. TO SEE WHAT YOU HAVE ACCESS TO, YOU TYPE "ls" FOR LIST, THIS SHOWS THE +PROGRAMS THAT YOU CAN RUN. YOU CAN CONNECT TO THE ROOT DIRECTORY AND RUN ITS +PROGRAMS BY TYPING "/root". BY THE WAY, MOST UNIX SYSTEMS HAVE THEIR LOG FILE +ON THE ROOT, SO YOU CAN SET UP A WATCH ON THE FILE, WAITING FOR PEOPLE TO LOG +IN AND YOU GET THEIR PASSWORD AS IT PASSES THROUGH THE FILE. TO CONNECT TO A +DIRECTORY USE THE COMMAND "cd pathname". THIS ALLOWS YOU TO DO WHAT YOU WANT +WITH THE DIRECTORY. YOU MAY BE ASKED FOR A PASSWORD, BUT THIS IS A GOOD WAY +OF FINDING OTHER USERS NAMES TO HACK ONTO. THE WILDCARD CHARACTER IN UNIX, IF +YOU WANT TO SEARCH DOWN A PATH FOR A CERTAIN GAME OR PROGRAM, IS THE * SYMBOL. +"ls /*" SHOULD SHOW YOU WHAT YOU CAN ACCESS. THE FILE TYPES ARE THE SAME AS +ON A DEC. TO SEE WHAT IS IN A FILE TYPE "pr filename", STANDING FOR PRINT +FILE. IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO PLAY AROUND WITH THE PATHNAMES SO THAT YOU GET THE +HANG OF IT. THERE IS ALSO ON-LINE HELP AVAILABLE BY TYPE "help" OR HITTING ?. +IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO LOOK THROUGH ALL THE HELP FILES, SINCE IT MAY GIVE YOU +SOME INFO ON PATHNAMES AND THE COMMANDS USED ON THE SYSTEM. AS A USER, YOU +CAN CREATE OR DESTROY DIRECTORIES ON THE TREE BENEATH YOU. THIS MEANS THAT +ROOT CAN KILL EVERYTHING BUT ROOT, AND YOU CAN KILL EVERYTHING THAT IS BELOW +YOU.

TYPE +"who" TO SEE WHO THE OTHER USERS ARE THAT ARE PRESENTLY LOGGED ONTO THE +SYSTEM. IF YOU WANT TO TALK TO THEM TYPE "write username" AND THIS WILL ALLOW +YOU TO CHAT. IF YOU WANT TO SEND MAIL TO ANOTHER USER TYPE "mail" AND THIS +WILL PUT YOU INTO THE MAIL SUB-SYSTEM. TO SEND MAIL TO ALL OF THE USERS ON +THE SYSTEM TYPE "wall" WHICH STANDS FOR WRITE ALL. ON SOME SYSTEMS ALL YOU +HAVE TO DO IS HIT THE RETURN KEY TO END THE MESSAGE, WHERE AS ON OTHERS YOU +WILL HAVE TO HIT CTRL-D. TO SEND A MESSAGE TO A SINGLE USER TYPE "write +username". IF YOU SEND THE SEQUENCE OF CHARACTERS THAT I DISCUSSED AT THE +BEGINNING, YOU CAN HAVE THE SUPER-USER TERMINAL DO TRICKS FOR YOU. IF YOU +WANT SUPER-USER PRIVELEGES, YOU CAN EITHER LOG IN AS ROOT, OR EDIT YOUR +ACCOUNT. IF YOU TYPE "su" THIS WILL GIVE YOU THE # PROMPT, AND THIS WILL +ALLOW YOU TO COMPLETELY BY-PASS THE PROTECTION. THE WONDERFUL SECURITY +CONSCIOUS DEVELOPERS AT BELL MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DO ANYTHING WITHOUT +PRIVELEGES, BUT ONCE YOU HAVE THE PRIVELEGES, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THAT +CAN STOP YOU FROM DOING ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT. TO DOWN A UNIX SYSTEM TYPE +"chdir /bin" THEN "rm *" AND THIS WILL WIPE OUT THE PATHNAME BIN, WHERE ALL +THE SYSTEM MAINTENANCE FILES ARE. OR TRY TYPING "r -r" WHICH WILL RECURSIVELY +REMOVER EVERYTHING FROM THE SYSTEM EXCEPT THE REMOVE COMMAND. OR YOU CAN ALSO +TRY "kill -1,1" THEN "sync" AND THIS WILL WIPE OUT THE SYSTEM DEVICES FROM +OPERATION. NOW WHEN YOU GET BORED OF HACKING AT THE VAX SYSTEM, JUST KEEP +HITTING CTRL-D AND EVENTUALLY YOU WILL BE LOGGED OUT. SINCE BELL HAS 7 +LICENSED VERSIONS OF UNIX OUT, I HAVE DESCRIBED THE COMMANDS THAT ARE COMMON +TO ALL OF THEM. LASTLY, I RECOMMEND THAT YOU HACK ONTO THE ROOT OR BIN +DIRECTORY, SINCE THEY HAVE THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF PRIVELEGES, AND BESIDES +THERE IS NOT MUCH THAT YOU CAN DO WITHOUT THEM. + +NOW HERE'S A NICE LITTLE THING YOU CAN DO TO MAKE A 3-WAY PHONE, IE. TALK TO +TWO OTHER PEOPLE AT THE SAME TIME, KIND-OF LIKE CONFERENCE CALLING I GUESS. + +FIRSTLY, YOU WILL NEED 2 DIFFERENT TELEPHONE LINES IN YOUR HOUSE. NOW TAKE +OFF BOTH OF THE BOXES THAT COVER THE WIRES. +NEXT, TAKE THE GREEN AND RED WIRES FROM EACH BOX AND ATTACH A WIRE TO EACH OF +THESE. 1 WIRE TO GREEN AND 1 WIRE TO RED. DO THE SAME FOR THE OTHER BOX. +FINALLY, AFTER YOU HAVE 4 WIRES, 2 FROM EACH BOX, YOU HAVE TO GET A 2 WAY +SWITCH WITH 2 TERMINALS, AND THEN HOOK UP THE 2 GREEN WIRES TO ONE SIDE AND +THE 2 RED WIRES TO THE OTHER SIDE. NOW WHEN YOU SWITCH THE SWITCH, YOU SHOULD +HERE A DIAL TONE AND THEN YOU CAN DIAL OUT AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO TALK TO 2 +PEOPLE AT THE SAME TIME. + +OK HERE'S SOMETHING THAT MOST OF YOU NEVER HEARD OF. I'LL DISCUSS SOME THINGS +THAT I KNOW ABOUT STEP LINES AND SOME INTERESTING THINGS THAT CAN BE DONE. + +FIRST, FIND OUT IF YOU HAVE STEP LINES IN YOUR PREFIX. A GOOD WAY OF DOING +THIS IS TO GO TO THE PAY PHONES AROUND YOUR HOME, AND IF THEY ARE ROTARY, THEN +YOU ARE IN LUCK, SINCE YOU HAVE STEP LINES. I USED TO HAVE STEP LINES IN MY +AREA, BUT UNFORTUNATELY NOT ANYMORE. WELL, ANYWAYS FOR THOSE OF YOU WITH STEP +LINES, DIAL '0' FROM YOUR HOME, THIS WILL NOT WORK ON PAY PHONES. YOU WILL +THEN HEAR A FEW SOUNDS LIKE COIN DROPPINGS. NOW IF YOU HIT THE HANG UP BUTTON +WHEN THE SECOND LAST COIN DROP IS HEARD, THEN THE OPERATOR WILL GET ON AND BE +VERY CONFUSED. I'LL TELL YOU WHY SHE IS CONFUSED LATER ON, BUT NOW SAY THAT +YOU ARE TRYING TO COMPLETE A CALL WHEN SHE GOT ON. SHE WILL ASK YOU FOR THE +NUMBER THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO CALL. TELL HER THE NUMBER, LONG DISTANCE OF +COURSE, AND THEN SHE WILL ASK YOU FOR YOUR NUMBER. SO JUST PICK A NUMBER OUT +OF YOUR HEAD, IT MUST BE IN YOUR PREFIX, AND TELL IT TO HER. NOW SHE WILL +BELIEVE YOU AND CONNECT YOU TO YOUR DESIRED NUMBER, WITH THE CHARGES GOING TO +THE FAKE NUMBER THAT YOU GAVE. NOW IF YOU DIDN'T HIT THE HANG UP BUTTON AT +THE RIGHT TIME, JUST TELL THE OPERATOR THAT YOU ARE SORRY AND GIVE SOME +BULLSHIT EXCUSE AND TRY AGAIN. +WHAT YOU DID, WAS SCREW UP THE AUTOMATIC NUMBER FIND THAT WAS BUILT INTO THE +FIRST STEP LINES. THIS IS WHAT WOULD TELL THE OPERATOR YOUR NUMBER, SO THAT +SHE COULD BILL YOU IF SHE HAD TO COMPLETE A CALL FOR YOU. THE OPERATOR WILL +GET SOME GARBAGE ON HER SCREEN THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE YOUR NUMBER, BUT SINCE +YOU INTERUPTED THAT PROCESS, IT LOOKS REALLY STRANGE. +SOMETHING THAT IS REALLY FUN TO DO IS TO COMPLAIN TO THE OPERATOR THAT THIS IS +THE FOURTH TIME TODAY THAT YOU HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET THROUGH AN SHE WILL +GIVE YOU SOME STORY LIKE, "WE'RE SORRY BUT WE'VE HAD A COMPUTER MALFUNCTION +AND IT'S BEING FIXED RIGHT NOW." +I DON'T KNOW IF THE PHONE COMPANY KNOWS ABOUT THIS, BUT DON'T WORRY, THE WORST +THAT COULD HAPPEN IS THAT YOU WOULD GET A CALL FROM THE OPERATOR, ASKING WHY +YOU HAVE HUNG UP ON THE OPERATOR SO MANY TIMES. JUST GIVE HERE SOME EXCUSE +LIKE YOU ARE TEACHING YOUR KID SISTER TO USE THE PHONE, OR SOMETHING LIKE +THAT. + +END OF FILE #3... + + +[Time Left 00:39] 1. the_NeoPsychedelic_UnderGround_ Computer Philes: +Command ?

This was done for the long distance company's +benefit so they could have the same dialup in all cities across the USA. +For some reason, the Long Distance companies rejected the 950 prefix in favor +of local lines and 1-800 numbers. + Disadvantages to 950's are that they are run on a special ESS of +their own that can trace you call before you can say 'shit!'. But tracing + Come on... Ain't Got All Day!! only occurs on special occasions. The companies on 950's will only trace when +the computer controlling the calls sees that there is an unusually high number +of calls to the extender on that particular day. The computer then will auto- +trace every 100th call or so. Which means that, if used in moderation, 950's +are fantastic! + Advantages: By having the same dialup in all cities, you can go +on vacation and just hack codez to use for while you are there on your +favorite 950 extender. Being a free call (in most cases, some phones not) +from a pay phone, this is very advantageous. Also, and anyone who has used +a 950 knows this, the connections on 950 extenders are VERY clear usually, +making for excellent error-free data transfer on AE lines, etc. + With the breakup of the Bell System in January of 1984, the 950 +prefix was supposed to be dragged down with it and the companies were sup- +posed to have switched over to either local or 1-800 numbers, but as is +very typical of the phone company, they never got around to it. + Here is the list of the 950's that are currently in use in the +U.S. : + 950-1000..........Southern Pacific Communications + 950-1022..........MCI Exec-U-Net + 950-1033..........U.S. Telephone + 950-1044..........AllNet + 950-1066..........Lexitel + 950-1088..........SBS Skyline + + Come on... Ain't Got All Day!! Personally, I favor the use of 950-1088, because it has many +users and the codez (which, by the way are 6 digits, but they are switching +over to 8 digits) are easy to hack out from a pay phone.

In the wrong hands, this (or any other hacker) can get you into big trouble. Do not attempt to use this if you don't understand it. + +4. To determine the service format, you'll have to dial the number up several times yourself, and experiment with it. Time the delays, write down number of digits you dialed, responses, whatever. It's all important. Always cut the speaker on when first attempting anything. + +5. A bit of scanning can do a world of good, especially when looking for multi-ports. Scan near the original port number you have, by hand or otherwise. + +6. Sometimes a LOCAL carrier number will get through a lot faster than a long distance carrier number. Try both and write down these: Time the amount of time it takes for the call to go thru from the MOMENT you dial the last digit until +it gives a carrier. Add 1 or 2 to the delay, and use it (Either the local or +long distance carrier, whichever answered quickest) as the "Wait for carrier delay" plus the number. + +7. Generally, to figure out the number of digits, you can dial in 10 digits, then keep dialing a digit and counting until it stops you. The number you dialed after the 10 is the digits. This doesn't always work. + +8. You can always use 950 and 800 codes at payphones. + +9. There are certain numbers that supposedly can tell you if you are being traced. I don't know how much truth there is in that, but to do it, dial a code, and dial up these numbers: 617-890-9900,415-284-1111,305-324-3333, or 213-935-1111 + + +Code lengths +------------ + +Here is a general rule of thumb for estimating code length: + +Service Length +------- ------ +Mci 5 +Sprint 8 +Metro 6 +Skyline 6 +Brand X 6? + + +1-800 numbers +------------- + +Here are toll-free 1-800 numbers (also known as extenders) you can attempt to hack.

Remove all components from the plastic thing inside the card, this +includes sliding the battry pack out of it's drawer. + +2. Cut the following wires: + + Both wires going to microphone (both are green, mark which one goes to + the center of the mike) + Both wires to the battery pack (red and white) + Both wires to the switch mechanisim (green and black) + +2a. (OPTIONAL) It is a wise idea (if you are fairly experienced at +soldering/desoldering on small PC boards) to desolder all the wires and +replace them with ones of a thicker gauge. THe ones that hallmark +supplies are just too damn thin and have a real tendancy to break at +connections. REMEMBER, the wires in this card are supposed to be +protected in the little plastic grooves that you removed them from. + +3. Discard the switch mechanisim. + +4. Wrap the battery pack in electrical tape (I used red tape just to be + cheesy, since the box is clear) + +5. Solder the SPST switch to the black and green wires that used to go to + theo original switch (polarity is NOT important) + +6. Solder the phono plug to the 2 green wires. Polarity shouldn't really + be important, but to be on the safe side, the wire that ran to the center + of the mike (I told you to mark it) should go to the TIP of the plug. + +7. Connect the battery. (This battery pack puts out 6.25VDC, I suppose +you could replace it with another battery, but why bother?) POLARITY IS +EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!. The red wire goes to the Positive terminal, and +the white goes to the negative. On my box, if the pack is laying flat, +with the exposed part of the batteries pointing up, the positive terminal +is the one on the left (if you are facing the terminals) I'd use a +multimeter just to be sure. + +8. Glue the pc board to the top of the battery (this saves space and +hassle later, but is not necessary for operation) + +9. Program the thing... + + I used the QUARTER.VOC file (sorry, i don't have a copy of it in any other + format) and I looped it 10 times, with a random delay of between .5 + and 1 seconds between each quarter (who puts them in at regular intervals + anyway?) + + Plug the phono plug into your soundcard, turn the volume Waaaaaaay + down (trial and error will give you the proper volume) and play the + voc file (after setting the switch on the pc board to the record + position, and flipping the SPST at the beginning of the VOC file) + +10. Test it... + + Best way to test is to call a long distance Directory Assistance (Im +partial to 808-555-1212 which is Hawaii) + +If it doesn't work, go back to step 9.

If you want to save room, cut it off. + +12. Put the thing in the case. Drill several holes in the case where the +speaker will mount. I mounted the speaker with silicone very carefully +applied to the edges of the speaker. Same was true of the battery pack. +The switch obviously mounts in a hole on the side of the case. + +Thats it... + +Comments/Questions: + +Why the SPST Switch? + + First off, I thought the switch that came with the thing looked really +cheaply made, and would probably break. Secondly, bu putting in a switch +instead of a momentary switch, it allows me to record $2.50 on the box, +and play the whole thing back just by flipping the switch, rather than +having to hold it down. + +There you have it. the Under $10 red-box. + +-Tox + +--- Begin Included File --- +begin 600 quarter.voc +M0W)E871I=F4@5F]I8V4@1FEL91H: H!*1$!>!D TP!^:V=M>8!]9'F: +MNLS'J7="&Q$J7Z+=_/;+B403!1Q/CL3@WK^29TI#3V=^C9")?WR#DJ*KHXMF +M0BPO3H&ZY?/=J64G!

Ever want one of those? Yes, well here's your chance!! +It is very simple to make, and does not take a lot of materials! + +WHAT YOU NEED: + You're gonna need a couple essential things, and there are a few optional +items! Here is a list: +-phone receiver +-phone cord +-screw driver +-An IQ level of a screw driver +-extra wire (optional) +-soldering gun/solder (optional) +-wire hanger +-old ear phones +-duck tape +-electical tape + +WHAT DO I DO: + First of all, gather all of your equipment... If you can't find an old phone +receiver (the part you listen to/talk in) you can buy cheap phones at walmart +or something like that! Take the receiver and unscrew the two screws holding +it together, then take the two pieces apart. You'll see something like this: +***************************************************************************** + _________ _________ + / \ / \ + / ...... \__________________________/ ...... \ +| ...... ...... |_____ +| ......

When you do this, be careful not to +break the solder! But if you do it can be easily repared. Now, take the +peice you just removed, and mount it on something, the best +(easiest/cheapest) thing to use is an old headphone, you can just remove the +earphone speaker, and mount the phone speaker in it's place, of course, this +can be tricky, a little ducktape, or a glue gun can come in handy! + + If you really want yours to look nice (and to protect the wireing) You could +use the speaker from the heaphone, take it off the headphones, and remove it's +cover. Now cut the wire that attaches to it, you will notice that it is +soldered on in two spots, just like your original speaker... you just have +to solder it on two the wires that come from the mic! Of course, these wires +are bear, so you may wish to substitute them with your own wire, find some +(6 inches will do) that is similar, but has some sort of casing, and solder +it the the speaker, and the mic! + Now, ducktape this (or glue if you want) to the earphone headset! If you used +the headphone speaker, then it should fit right back in place! Your probably +looking at it now and saying, "Yeah it's nice and all, but the mic's all +flimsy!" This is where the wire hanger comes into place! Simply cut a piece +to fit from the ear to the mouthpeice, and shape it the way you want it! Now +attach the piece of hanger to the headset and wire (for support) it works well +if you use electricall tape to do this, because it looks nicer than duck tape, +and for this, it holds just as well! + +CONCLUSION: + Well, you now have yourself a handsfree headset, they sell these for about +12-15$ a month, you just made one with a spare phone (or a 5$ phone)! +Don't you feel proud? I also recomend getting a really long phone cord, so +you can walk around with your headset. You could always try and personalise +and/or make your headset better! Here's a real challenge, make one that is +cordless! hehe... Have fun, and if you think of any real great ideas for your +headset, send them my way, i'd like to hear them! +email: nrage@hackersclub.com + + + + diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/heirar.phk b/textfiles.com/phreak/heirar.phk new file mode 100644 index 00000000..9318bf89 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/heirar.phk @@ -0,0 +1,86 @@ +Inter-Office Heirarchy Office Heirarchy +Typed by Bungalow Bill +Taken from The Phone Book by J. Edward Hyde + +One night a few years back, a Phone Company vice-president attempted to +place a long distance person-to-person call from his home and found out +just how frustrating dealing with his company can be. + + "This is the operator. Anything I can help you with?" Her voice was +raspy. Apparently she was having a bad night. +The vice-president and general manager gave her all the necesary +information she needed to complete his call. + "Could you give all that to me again, a little bit slower this time?" +So he did, but the exasperation was plainly evident in his voice. + "Did you know that you can dial this call yourself?" +He replied that he did, but that he wanted her to do it for him. + "Anything you say. But you'd save a lot of money if you dialed it +yourself." +He repeated that he wanted her to dial it for him. + "Some people never learn." +She probably didn't mean for him to hear her last remark, but he did and +demanded to know her name. He threatened to have her head on a tray. +Finally he even told her who she was speaking to. And once again, he +demanded that she give him her name. + "Wouldn't you like to know." With that, the line went dead. + + It's comforting to know that other people, even phone company +executives, catch hell every now and then, just like we do. And this +illustration illuminates one of the evils of the telephone that obscene +callers have known about for years. The total anonymity of it all. If an +operator or a service rep or a plant man feels like it, he or she can +roast you verbally and there's very little you can do about it. True +enough, such blatant discourtesy is rare, but it does happen, and there +are ways you can retaliate and get satisfaction. + + If an operator is not everything you think she should be, immediatly ask +to speak to her S.A. The service assistant is a non management person who +mediates disputes between operators in her group, helps with dialing +problems, and distributes the "mark sense" tickets, the computer cards +operators use to keep a record of each long distance call they handle. +The S.A. has no real authority, but she takes a lot of the load off the +person who does, the group chief operator. To an operator, the group +chief is a mother figure, ally, and symbol of the all-powerful company +all rolled into one. The group chief has the power of life and death in +her kingdom, and a demand for an audience with her from an unhappy +customer brings an unruly operator's heart to her throat. You may not get +the privilage of actually talking to a group chief, that's what the S.A. +is for, but the mere knowledge that you know that there is such an animal +can straighten out the most obdurate operator. + + Service reps generally don't give the customers a hard time for two very +good reasons. 1. They have to give you their name before the conversation +begins, and 2. the call itself is often bugged. Three hundred and +sixty-four days a year, you will seldom hear a disrespectful word from +your service rep. But on December 24, the service observers usually go +home early. It's generally the slowest day of the year, and no holds are +barred. If you give the service rep a hard time, she's got a whole year's +worth of frustration to take out on you. If you happen to get a harpy, +demand to speak to her B.O.S. The Buisness Office Supervisor will +generally stand behind her "girls," but in unusual cases she can and will +have the offending service rep tarred and feathered. + + The men you most often see are the linemen, the gallant knights of the +Phone Kingdom. And there's a very good reason for their nobility: they're +right up there where you can hit them if they give you trouble. Usually +the only time a lineman will give you trouble is after your dog has +mangled his leg. If you should have a problem with him, the installation +foreman is the person to talk to. The installation foreman is what the +group chief and the B.O.S. are to their respective sets. If you have +reason to suspect that this person may not be from the Phone Company, ask +to see his I.D. card. It has his picture on it, his signature, and the +company logo. + + In a summary, it's not what you threaten to do, it's whom you threaten +to talk to that gives you an edge. The Phone Company has a jargon all +it's own, and the use of it by a mere mortal suggests that you know the +ropes. + + By the same token, there are times when the phone people really put it +together and do an ouytstanding job. At times like that, it never hurts +to put in a good word for the excellent service rendered. The word will +get around, and you'll be surprised how well you'll be taken care of in +the future. + +Ok kids, that's all there is. Next time you're trying to social engineer, +maybe pull a few of these and see who you get in touch with. diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/hhh.txt b/textfiles.com/phreak/hhh.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..6117bc97 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/hhh.txt @@ -0,0 +1,258 @@ + + #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$# + #$ The Loop Raper's Killit $# + #$ Handbook $# + #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$# + + Written by: Hannibal Lecter + (the real one) + + The "elite" disclaimer for the lamer: + + This file is written for information purposes only (of course) + and I the author am not responsible for any damage or trouble which + shall be inflicted due to information contained in this file. + +Ok, nuff o that shit. + + Phreaking has been the most popular skill amoung beginning hackers + since hacking first became the dark side of computer knowledge.

Needless to say, this "expert" + was busted quickly as I expected. One major problem with "phreaks" is that + they have been phreaking so long, that they begin to draw attention to + themselves by 1) Bragging, 2) Using things from their house constantly, + 3) Connecting to and brute force hacking a dangerous system directly, due + to lack of hacking knowlege. + Well, If you aren't already wondering, the point of this file is + to give the real hacker some technical knowlege of HARDWIRE phreaking, + as most hackers already know the uses of a PBX, EXTENDER, DIVERTER, + etc. (And so does any code kid) + Hardwire phreaking is very illegal, and if you are caught, it depends + the cop and the excuse, but you may slide right off without ever seeing + a judge, or you may end up in a lot of shit, depending on how you are + percieved by the cop. You may want to dress as NORMAL as possible, to + avoid looking obvious if caught. Dark clothes, but yet normal "clean" + looking clothes are the best by far. + Only bring tools that you can ditch easily, that way you don't look like + you are planning on breaking into some guy's house, or rewire the + entire phone box. Either one is something you don't want someone to suspect + you of. You will not get off easily of either of the two. + Ok, enough of the general shit, here is what you want to know! + + This is a brief guide of some of the techniques I have developed myself, + have found them to work quite well, so keep in mind that everything I have + done I will say that I have done it, and everything I haven't done, I will + say so. I am not a liar, and I want you to be safe, so i don't want you + trying some bullshyt and getting yourself caught. + + THE LOOP TAP: + """"""""""""" + + This is a very easy way to bug someone, but be carefull, as the phone + company may find it if you leave it too long, because the loops are used + frequently by telco employees, not to mention some pissed off guy who has + had is phone fuked up all night. + + Ingredients: + """""""""""" + 1 1.5k resistor + 1 1k resistor + 4 alligator clips + 1 1ft piece of insulated wire + 1 beige box (yeah a phone w/aligator clips duh) + + O O Tapped line \ + | | + / | Lines bridged with 1.5k + 1.5k\ | resistor + / | + | 1k / + O/\/\/O Looped line tied w/1k resistor + + + Ok, what you are going to do here is basically cut the wire in half, + and solder and aligator clip to one end of each of the wires. Now solder + the other two ends (that you havent done anything with) to the ends of the + resistor. This is one of the main ingredients for all types of field + phreaking. (remember that) Now solder the other two alligator clips to + each end of the 1k resistor. + Now I am assuming that you have already been inside a phone box, + (if not you can find them alleys mounted to a telephone pole, or sometimes + behind a bush, standing upright from the ground about 3ft tall) and know + something about them. When you open the box, and see the rows of terminals, + you want to take your phone, and find the line you wish to tap. If you + aren't somewhere in the person's alley, you aren't at the right box, so + quit reading this and go jump off a cliff. Anyways, open the box (a flathead + screwdriver jammed inbetween the guard ring and the flat side of the nut + will open it quickly and quietly) and start running down the rows calling ANI + numbers looking for your girlfriends er I mean victim's line. When you + find the right line, remember it!! I usually just replace all the terminal + covers as I go except the right one. Now pick another line, (that you + already went down looking for the last number) and call a loop on this line + (not the line you want to tap) and connect the 1k resistor accross the + terminals. What this does is hold the line open, so that you can meet + up with it on the other end of the loop. Now connect the 1.5k resistor + from the ring of the tied down line, to the ring og the line you wish + to tap. The ring (in case you are just a lame warez kid or something) + is the red, which is usually the side that is NOT grounded to the chassis + of the box. I think it's the right, but I may be wrong. All I know is + it is the positive side, which if you have a good test phone, will light + when you have it hooked right, therefore you know then which side is RING + and which side is TIP by the color of the wires on your phone. + Anyways, what you have now is a line which is on one side of the loop, + preferably the QUIET side. (I'll tell you why in a minute) Now what you + do is go home, call the other end of the loop, and you will be able to + hear faintly the conversation (if any) over the loop. If you dont hear + anything, then that means there is not conversation (ie no connection, + therefore the phone is still on hook, so you won't hear a dialtone (thanks + to the 1.5k resistor)). If you hear a LOUD tone (this is why we used the + quiet end of the loop), then you did something wrong, and the line + you connected to the loop isn't open anymore, so you may want to go back + and try a different resistor. (smaller) The best way to check is to call + it from the box, using another line, just to be sure. That way you don't + have to wait until you get home. + It is best not to leave this on for more than one full night, because + in the morning, the telco guy is gonna come to fix it. Nobody is gonna + be able to do anything until morning, so your pretty safe for a night. + Just make sure you put everything back the way it was when you are done, + and don't forget the fucking plastic cover caps!!!!! + + If you feel like you want to have this gizmo hooked up longer, what + could do is move the wires of the line you are calling the loop with to + another set of terminals. If you put a hmmm not sure, maybe 5k resistor + across the terminals of the line that you moved him to, it MAY drop the + voltage of the ring enough to disable a ring from incomming calls. There- + fore neither person gets calls, but they can both make calls. So they + never notice anything weird until they both pick up at the same time. + Just an idea, sorry. + + This tap has worked for me many times. I have never left it for more + than one night, and I wouldn't advise doing so unless you are positive + someone isn't going to use the loop-connected line for a few days. + + THE LINE THIEF: + """"""""""""""" + + This is really not usefull at all, but it can be if you decide + to make it usefull. However to choose to make it usefull is up to + you. What you will need for this is the following: + + 4 alligator clips + 2 pieces of insulated wire (red and black) + 2 1k resistors (optional) + 1 Test Phone + + Solder the clips to the ends of the wires. Now strip the middle of the + wires, and solder each end of the resistor into the middle of each of the + wires. It should look like an H. Now go to the person's alley (or main box) + in which you want to do your damage, and find the box which contains + their terminals. Call a neat-o 1-900-sex-gang number or even better, an + automated converence line such as the At&t conference. + Connect you test phone to the person's line (I am assuming you already + found the line using an ANI demo and a little time calling it on all the + lines) and call the number you wanna call on his line. Hopefully something + something extremely expensive. Once you connect to what you are calling + connect the red and black wires to the terminals. You should hear the + volume drop, but the line should still be audible. Hang up the phone, and + then pick up again, and you should still hear the line conversation. If not, + use a resistor of a little less value. If you called a conference line, + this is a the best time to call a few people and transfer control. If you + don't want to transfer control you can just leave it, and keep control from + your loop you are about to wire in. Now disconnect your test phone, + leaving the wires clipped in place, and connect to another line. Call a + local loop, and connect the other two clips to the line. What you should + have now is two wires connecting the two lines directly with a 1k resistor + in between them. It should look like an H like this: + + O O Target line + | 1k | + }\/\/{ + | | + O O Loop line + + Now what you have is a complete call from the victim line (target + line) to wherever you wanted. The loop line has now been connected with + a loop. Both lines are being held open by the resistor which is shared + between the two. Hopefully you called the quiet end of the loop so that + you don't kill everyone in the conference, and so you can check it from + home to make sure it's still there. No guessing here, if you get the + loud loop tone when you call, it's gone, so start being paranoid. + It is best that you remove this thing when you are done.

When an area has NXX (not NNX) prefixes, +its long distance dialing instructions usually are: + + 7D or 1 + NPA + 7D within area (can no longer use 1 + 7D); + 1 + NPA + 7D to other areas (can no longer use NPA + 7D); + for 0+ calls, try 0 + NPA + 7D (some 0 + 7D would require timeout). + +In other words, the leading 1 (or 0) means that what follows is +an area code. These instructions can, without further revision, +accommodate area codes of form NXX, not just of form N0X/N1X, and +thus could be universal by the time area codes must generalize to +NXX. The deadline for switches to be able to handle NXX area codes +is 1 January 1995 (had been 1 July 1995). + +It was thought that the first batch of NNX area codes would be of NN0 +form, so that some areas could keep 1 + 7D for intra-NPA long distance +by disallowing prefixes of NN0 form; I did not know if this would have +been affected by use of 52x codes (x not 0) for Mexico. But on 22 +July 1993, it was announced that area 205, covering all of Alabama, +would split in 1995 to form 334. + +It is unclear how generalizing area codes to NXX would affect the +policy of not using N0X/N1X prefixes until NNX starts running short. + +I found an exception to the above dialing instructions in February +1992 for 215-267 (Denver) and 215-484 (Adamstown) in Pennsylvania. +These exchanges, served by Denver & Ephrata Telephone & Telegraph +(also serving a part of the 717 area), were still using the old +instructions (1 + 7D and 0 + 7D within area code), even though +this necessitated timeout resolution for some calls. I learned +(on 2 September 1993) that they would move to 717 (Denver going +to 717-336 because of 717-267 being in use at Chambersburg). On +25 September 1993, I noticed that (during permissive dialing) all +long distance from there was to be dialed as 1+NPA+7D (with 0+NPA+7D +for all 0+), with "1 717" apparently being dropped after the full +cutover to 717. + +The suggestion (at least from Bellcore) has been seen that ideally, +all calls should be makeable as 1+NPA+7D (this does not necessarily +forbid shorter forms). + +These areas prepared for N0X/N1X prefixes before it became necessary +to prepare for NNX area codes: +213, California, July 1973 + (7D on all calls within it) + (later 213/818, now 213/310/818) + (but for some time, this area continued to publish 0+7D instruction + for within-NPA 0+ calls) +212, New York, some days after 24 Nov 1980 + (7D on all calls within it) + (later 212/718, now 212/917/718) +312, Illinois, Oct 1982--but got 1st N0X/N1X spring 1983? + (7D on all calls within it) + (now 312/708) +201, New Jersey + (7D on all calls within it; also applies to 609) + (now 201/908) +214, Texas, 1986 or 1987 (by July 1987) + (1+NPA+7D on all toll calls; also applies to 817, + at least in Fort Worth area) + (now 214/903) +301/202/703, Maryland/DC/Virginia, 1987, due to DC area growth + (1+NPA+7D on all toll calls) + (301 now 301/410) +415, California, Feb 1989? + (7D on all calls within it) + (now 415/510) +404, Georgia, Oct 1989? + (1+NPA+7D on all toll calls; also applies to 912) + (now 404/706) +919, North Carolina, 2 Mar 1990 + (1+NPA+7D on all toll calls; also applies to 704) + (now 919/910) +416, Ontario, 3 Mar 1990 + (1+NPA+7D on all toll calls) + (now 416/905) +602, Arizona, 1 July 1990 + (1+NPA+7D on all toll calls) + (to become 602/520) +313, Michigan, 1990? + (1+NPA+7D on all toll calls) + (now 313/810) +512, Texas, 9 Sept 1990 + (1+NPA+7D on all toll calls) + (now 512/210) +205, Alabama, Dec 1990 + (1+NPA+7D on all toll calls) + (to become 205/334) +215, Pennsylvania, 20 May 1991 + (7D on all calls within it; exception noted above for 2 prefixes + later moving to 717, but the new instructions also applied to: + 717-354,355 New Holland + 717-656,661 Leola + 717-768 Intercourse) + (now 215/610) +206, Washington, 12 Jan 1992 + (1+NPA+7D on all toll calls) + (to become 206/360) +713, Texas, 8 Mar 1992 (permissive dialing 8 Dec 1991) + (1+NPA+7D on all toll calls) + (to become 713/281) +714, California, 1992? + (7D on all calls within it) + (now 714/909) +503, Oregon, 10 July 1993 + (1+NPA+7D on all toll calls) + +No note about N0X/N1X prefixes, but instructions are being changed +to prepare for NNX area codes: +305,407,813,904, Florida, 7 Mar 1992 (at least for 813) + (1+NPA+7D on all toll calls) +207, Maine; 603, New Hampshire (17 July 1993); 1993-1994 + (This was to include all New England areas except Connecticut, + but this list now has separate entries for Massachusetts, + Vermont, and Rhode Island.) + (Earlier, for 413 going to 7D on all calls within area code: Feb- + June 1993; full cutover 21 Sept 1993; 1+NPA+7D for local calls to + another area code permissive 1 Mar to 8 Apr 1993.) + (7D on all calls within area code; optional for New Hampshire, + with per-line option to block 7D and require 1+NPA+7D for toll + within area code) +413,508,617, Massachusetts (order by public utility commission in + Oct 1993; mandatory, in 413, 1 June 1994; eastern Massachusetts + to follow later in 1994) + (1+NPA+7D on all toll calls) +802, Vermont, permissive 18 Feb 1994, mandatory 18 May 1994 + (1+NPA+7D on all toll calls) +401, Rhode Island, announced Jan 1994 (but when to be implemented?) + (1+NPA+7D on all toll calls) +303,719, Colorado (27 Feb 1994); 612,507,218, Minnesota (late 1994); + 319,515,712, Iowa; 701, North Dakota; 605, South Dakota; 308,402, + Nebraska; 505, New Mexico; 801, Utah; 307, Wyoming; 406, Montana; + 208, Idaho; 509, Washington (15 May 1994, full cutover 17 Sept 1994); + 1993-1994 + (U.S. West areas except Arizona, Oregon, 206 in Washington) + (1+NPA+7D on all toll calls) +219,317,812 Indiana, c.

In fact, some +aspects of telephone systems are most interesting and quite ingenious. +In this article we will describe some of these more interesting and perhaps +less well-known areas of telephone systems. + But before going farther, let me explain and apologize for the fact +that some of the information in this article may not be altogether complete, +up to date, or even correct. I do not work for any phone company, and therefore +do not have access to internal telephone company literature. Moreover, +there is very little material available in books or magazines which describes +how US telephone systems work. Much of the information in this article has +been obtained piece-meal from many different sources such as books, popular +magazines, computer data communications journals, handbooks, and sometimes +just plain hear-say. I have tried to correlate as much as possible all the +little bits and pieces into a coherent picture which makes sense, but there is +no easy way to be sure of all the little details. So think of this article as +if it is a historical novel - generally accurate and, regardless of whether it +is completely true or not, fascinating. + With this out of the way, let's go on. Figure 1 shows a simple diagram +which explains how your home telephone fits into the overall picture. You, as +the customer, are generally referred to as the 'subscriber'. Your telephone +connects to the Central Office through a two-wire cable which may be miles long +and which may have a resistance on the order of hundreds or even thousands +of Ohms. This cable is essentially a balanced line with a characteristic im- +pedence of around 900 Ohms, but this varies greatly with different calls. (This +is why it is so hard to keep a hybrid phone-patch balanced.) + The main power in the central office comes from 48 volt storage batteries +which are constantly kept trickle-charged. This battery is connected to your +line through a subscriber relay and a balanced audio transformer. The relay +is sensitive enough to detect even quite small currents through your line. + The buttons which stick up out of your telephone case when you lift the +handset accuate the hook switch. The name probably dates back to the days when +the handset (or even earlier, the earpiece) hung on the side of the phone from +a hook. In any case, when your phone is hung up it is said to be on the hook; +when you lift the handset to make a call it is said to go off the hook. With +the phone on hook, the line is connected only to the bell (called the ringer). +Because the bell circuit has a capacitor in it, no dc current can flow through + the phone. As a result, the subscriber relay back in the central office will +be deenergized, indicating to the central office (let's abbreviate that as CO +from now on) that your phone is hung up. Since there is no current through +your line or phone, there is no voltage drop anywhere, and so if you measure +the voltage across the phone line at your home you will see the entire 48 volts +(or even more if the CO batteries are well charged). The positive (grounded) +lead is called the tip and negative lead is called the ring; these names cor- +respond to the tip and ring of a three-circuit phone plug. + Now suppose you want to place a call. You pick up the handset, and the +phone goes off the hook. This completes the dc circuit through the dial, micro- +phone, and the hybrid network which is basically a complicated transformer +circuit. At this point current starts to flow from the battery through your +line and phone, and the subscriber relay back at the CO pulls in. The line +voltage across your phone now drops to just a few volts because the line is +loaded down by the low resistance of the phone. The CO now searches for some +idle dialing circuits, and when it finds them, connects a dial tone back to +your phone. When you hear this, you start dialing. + The dial shown in Fig. 1 is a rotary dial of the type which you turn with +your finger (we will talk about Touchtone dials later). When you dial a number, +the dial acts as a short circuit until you release the dial and let the built- +in spring return it back to the resting position. As it is returning, it starts +to open and close the circuit in sequence to indicate the number you dialed. +If you dial a 1,it opens the circuit once; if you dial a 9 it opens the circuit +nine times. As the dial is returning it causes the subscriber relay to open and +close in step. This enables the CO to recognize the number you want. When you +finish dialing, the dial becomes just a plain short circuit which passes +current through the microphone and the hybrid network. Since the mike is a +carbon unit, it needs this current to work. + When the CO receives the complete number, it starts to process your +call. If you dialed another subscriber in the same area, it may connect you +directly to that subscriber's line. Calls to phones a little further away may +have to be routed through another CO, while long distance calls may go through +one or more long distance switching centers (called tandems) and possibly +many other CO's before arriving at the destination. At the completion of this +process, you may get either a ringing signal, indicating that the phone at +the other end is ringing, one of several types of busy signals, or possibly +just silence, if something goes wrong somewhere. + When you talk to the person at the other end, the cable carries audio +in both directions at the same time. Your carbon microphone varies the current +in your circuit, and this current variation is detected by a balanced trans- +former in the CO.At the same time, audio coming back to your phone goes through +the hybrid network to your earphone. (In phone company lingo they like to call +the mike a transmitter, and the earphone is called a receiver.) + You may be interested in the makeup of the various tones you may hear +on your telephone; these tones are important to people such as computer com- +munications designers who have to build equipment which will recognize dial +or other signalling tones: + Dial tone in older exchanges may still be a combination of 120 and 600 Hz +but the newer exchanges use a combination of 350 and 440 Hz. There is often +a slight change in the dc line voltage at the beginning of dial tone, and +this may also be detected. + Busy signal is a combination of 480 and 620 Hz which alternates for 1/2 +second on and 1/2 second off (i.e., 60 interruptions per minute) when the +party you are calling is busy. The same busy signal may be used for other + conditions such as busy interoffice or long distance circuits, but would then +be interrupted either 30 times a minute or 120 times per minute. This is a +standard agreed on by an international telecommunications organization called +CCITT (and I don't offhand remember the French words it stands for), but +occasionally other frequencies up to 2kHz are used. A siren-like sound varying +between 200 and 400 Hz is often used for other error conditions. + The ringing tone, which you hear coming back to you when the phone rings +on the other end of the connection, is nowadays mostly a combination of 440 +and 480 Hz, but there is a great variation between CO's. Very often a higher +frequency such as 500 Hz is interrupted at 20 Hz, and other tones are used as +well. The tone is usually on for two seconds and off for 4 seconds. + The ringing current, actually used to ring the bell in a telephone, is an +ac voltage since it has to activate a ringer which has a capacitor in series +with it.Different companies use different ringing currents, but the most common +is 90 volts at 20 Hz. Since a typical phone may be thousands of feet away from +the CO, the thin wires used may have a fairly high line resistance. Hence only +a relatively small current can be applied to the bell, certainly not enough +to ring something like a doorbell. This problem is solved by making the bell +resonant mechanically at the ringing frequency so that even a fairly small +amount of power is enough to start the striker moving hard enough to produce +a loud sound. This is the reason why a low frequency ac is used. Although this +raises some problems in generating a 20 Hz signal at a high enough voltage, +it has the advantage that a bell will respond to a ringing current only if +the frequency is quite close to the bell's naturally resonant frequency. +If you build two bells, one resonant at 20 Hz and the other resonant at 30 Hz, +and connect them together to the same line, you can ring just one bell at a +time by connecting a ringing current of the right frequency to the line; this +has some useful applications in ringing just one phone on a party line. + Now let's look at some of the components of the phone itself. We will +consider the most common new phone, a model 500 C/D manufactured by Western +Electric and used by Bell System affiliated phone companies. This is the +standard desk phone, having modern rounded lines and usually having a G1 or +G3 handset. It was developed about 1950 and replaced the older 300-series +phones which had the older F1 handset and had sharper corners and edges. (There +was an inbetween phone, where they took an old 300 series phone and put a +new case on it which resembled the 500-style case but had a straight up-and +down back - the back of the case came straight down right behind the handset +cradle,whereas the true 500-style telephone has what looks like a step sticking +out behind the cradle). If you are still in doubt as to which phone you have, +the bell loudness control is a wheel on the 500-type phone and a lever on the +300-type. If you live in the boondocks, you may still have the 200-type phone +(sometimes called the ovalbase) or maybe even the desk-stand type that looked +like a candlestick, with the microphone mounted on top and the earpiece hanging +on the side from a hook. Neither of these phones had a built in bell, and so +you probably have a bell box attached to your wall. (If you have a phone with +a handle on the side which you crank to call the operator, the following does +not apply to your phone !) + Fig. 2 shows the bell circuit, which consists of a two-coil ringer and +a 0.5 uF capacitor. On Western Electric phones the capacitor is mounted inside +the network assembly, which also has a large number of screws on top which +act as connection points for almost everything inside the phone. (I have +never been able to find out why the ringer has two coils of unequal resistance +but it apparently has something to do with determining which subscriber on a +party line makes which call.) In most phones, the yellow and the green wires + are connected at the wall terminal block so that the bell is connected directly +across the telephone line; disconnecting the yellow lead would turn off the +bell (although sometimes the connection is made internally by connecting the +black lead from the ringer directly to the L1 terminal, in which case the +yellow lead is disconnected. + You may wonder why a yellow lead is needed at all when only two wires +are normally used anyway. It is true that only two wires enter the house from +the outside; one of these is the tip and the other is the ring. In a non-party +line the ringing current as well as all talk voltages are applied between the +tip and the ring, and it doesn't actually matter which of the phone leads +goes to the tip and which to the ring if you have a rotary dial phone. If you +have a Touchtone dial, then you have to observe polarity so that the transistor +circuit in the dial works, in which case you have to make sure that the green +lead goes to the tip and the red lead goes to the ring. + The yellow lead is commonly used for party lines. On a two-party line +ringing current from the CO is applied not between the two lines, but between +one line and ground. In that case the yellow lead goes to ground while the +other side of the ringer (the red lead) is connected to either the tip or the +ring, depending on the party. In this way, it is possible to ring only one +party's bell at a time. + The remaining connections inside the telephone are shown in Fig.3. The +components labeled VR are varistors: the phone companies must be the world's +biggest users of these devices, which are variable resistors whose resistance +drops as the voltage across them rises. Their function in the phone set is +to short out parts of the set if the applied voltage gets too high. For in- +stance, VR2 is connected directly across the earphone (receiver) and acts as +a volume limiter to lower the volume if the applied voltage gets too high - +a great way to protect your eardrums. + As you can see in Fig.3 we use the standard phone company way of ident- +ifying normally open and and normally closed switches - an X in a wire is +normally a normally open contact of a switch or relay, while a short bar means +a normally closed contact.The arrows in the drawing show the path of dc current +through the phone when it was off the hook. Starting at the green wire, the +current path goes through a set of contacts on the hook switch, then through +the pulsing contacts on the dial, through part of the network, through the +mike, back through a second winding on the network, and finally through a +second contact on the hook switch and back out to the red wire. + The hook switch actually has three sets of contacts, two normally open +(open, that is, when the hand set is on the hook) which completes the dc cir- +cuit when you pick up the handset, and a normally closed contact which is +wired directly across the earphone. This contact's function is to short the +earphone during the time that the dc circuit is being opened or closed through +the phone - this prevents you from being blasted by a loud click in the ear- +phone. + The dial has two contacts. One of these is the pulsing contact, which +is normally closed and only opens during dialing on the return path of the +dial after you let go of it. The second contact, labelled the off-normal con- +tact, shorts the earphone as soon as you start turning the dial, and releases +the short only after the dial returns back to the normal position. In this +way you do not hear the clicking of the dial in the phone as you dial. + Finally, the phone has the hybrid network which consists of a four-winding +transformer and a whole collection of resistors, capacitors, and varistors. +The main function of the network is to attenuate your own voice to lower its +volume in your earphone. The simplest phone you could build would be just + a series circuit consisting of a dial, a }ike, and an earphone. But the signals +coming back from the other party are so much weaker than your own signals, +that an earphone sensitive enough to reproduce clearly and loudly the voice +of the other person would then blast your eardrums with the sound of your own +voice. The function of the network is to partially cancel out the signal pro- +duced by the local mike, while permitting all of the received signal to go to +the earphone. This technique is similar to the use of a hybrid phone patch +with a VOX circuit, where you want the voice of the party on the telephone +to go to your transmitter, but want to keep the receiver signal out of the +transmitter. + In addition to the parts needed for the hybrid, the network also contains +a few other components (such as the RC network across the dial pulsing +contacts) and screw-type connection points for the entire phone. + A Touchtone phone is similar to the dial shown here, except that the +rotary dial is replaced by a Touchtone dial. In addition to its transistor- +ized tone generator, the standard Touchtone pad has the same switch contacts +to mute the earphone, except that instead of completely shorting the earphone, +as the rotary dial does, the Touchtone dial switches in a resistor which only +partially mutes the phone. The circuit of the Touchtone dial is shown in +recent editions of the ARRL Handbook so we won't print it here, but Fig.4 +shows two possible connections of such dials for amateur use. Fig.4 (a) shows +the connection for coupling the dial output electrically to a transmitter in- +put, while Fig.4 (b) shows how to connect it to a 500 Ohm earphone (such as +the earphone from a telephone handset) for acoustic coupling into a transmitter +microphone. Fig.5 shows how the terminals on a Trimline Touchtone pad cor- +respond to the colored wires coming from the standard desk-type phone pad. + It is fairly common knowledge as to what frequencies are used for Touch- +tone signalling, but a misprint in several recent ARRL publications gives the +wrong frequency for one of the high tones, so here is a short table which +repeats the correct numbers : + + LOW + TONE HIGH TONE GROUP (Hz) + GROUP + (Hz) 1209 1336 1477 1633 + 697 1 2 3 A + 770 4 5 6 B + 852 7 8 9 C + 941 * 0 # D + +Each digit is composed of one frequency from the low group and one frequency +from the high group; for instance, the digit 6 is generated by producing a +low tone of 770 Hz and a high tone of 1477 Hz at the same time. The American +Touchtone pads generate both of these tones with the same transistor, while +European pads (yes, there are some) use two transistors, one for each tone. +In addition to the first three high tones, a fourth one of 1633 has been +decided on for generating four more combinations, called A through D in the +above table. These are not presently in use, although the standard phone Touch- +tone pad can easily be modified to produce this tone, since the required tap +on the inductor used to generate the tone is already present and only an +additional switch contact is needed to use it; information on this simple +conversion is found in the 73 publication 'Digital Control of Repeaters'. + What is not generally known is that the U.S. Air Force uses a different +set of Touchtone frequencies, in the range of 1020 to 1980 Hz. Since many + of the phones available for purchase in stores come from Department of Defense +surplus sales, it will be interesting when these phones become available. + Another Touchtone dial presently used by amateurs is made up of a thin +elastomeric switch pad made by the Chomerics Corp. (77 Dragon Court, Woburn, +Mass. 01801) and a thick-film hybrid IC made by Microsystems International +(800 Dorchester Boulevard, Montreal, Quebec). The pad is the Chomerics ER- +20071, which measures about 2 1/4 inch wide by 3 inches high, and only about +3/16 inch thick (Chomerics also makes a smaller model ER21289, but it is very +difficult to use and also apparently unreliable).Microsystems International +makes several very similar ICs in the ME8900 series, which use different +amounts of power and generate different amounts of audio. Some of these also +contain protection diodes to avoid problems if you use the wrong polarity on +the IC, and there are so many models to choose from that you should get the +technical data from the manufacturer before ordering one. There are a number +of US distributors, including Newark Electronics, Milgray and Arrow Electronics +in New York. KA Electronics Sales advertised both the pad and the IC in the +July 1974 issue of 73 Magazine. In single quantities, the pad goes for about +$9 and the IC costs about $18, although it drops in price if you order larger +quantities. + A simple circuit for the IC and pad isshown in the ARRL publication 'FM +and Repeaters for the Radio Amateur'. While this circuit is perfectly good, +it does not work in the presence of a strong rf. If you want to mount this pad +and IC on a portable 2-meter rig, you will have to use bypass capacitors and +chokes to keep the rf out of the IC. Bypass pins 8 and 16 of the IC to pin 13 +with small discs of about 0.001 or 0.01 uF, right at the IC, using very short +leads. Then put small 2 to 5 microhenry chokes in series with pins 8, 13 and +16 right at the IC. If needed, put more chokes at the other end of each lead. +Ohmite Z-144 chokes are good but a little bulky; the small 1.8 microhenry +chokes used in Motorola Handie-Talkies (Motorola type 24-82723HO1) are about +the size of a 1/8watt resistor and almost as good.It may seem a little funny to +put chokes in the ground leads,as all hams are trained to use good rf grounds, +but the object is to keep rf out of the IC at all costs and this accomplishes +that by letting the IC float above ground if needed,but removing any rf voltage +which might appear across the IC leads. It is also possible to generate the +Touchtone tones with separate oscillators or with IC oscillators (such as the +NE566), as is done in pads sold by Data Engineering. This system may not be +as stable or accurate as other systems, though. + One of the problems with any current IC is that the frequency changes +if rf gets near it. Many hams are having a hard time mounting such IC pads +on their 2-meter Handie-Talkies. But a solution seems in sight - Mostek, a +large IC company, is coming out with an IC Touchtone generator which has cheap +3.58 MHz external crystal as reference, and then produces the tone frequencies +by dividing the 3.58 MHz down with flip flops to get the required tone frequen- +cies. This approach not only promises to be more reliable in the presence of +rf, but should also be cheaper since it would not need the custom (and expen- +sive) laser trimming of components that the Microsystems International IC +needs to adjust the frequencies within tolerence. + At the other end of the telephone circuit, in the CO, various circuits +are used to decode the digit you dial into the appropriate signals needed to +perform the actual connection. In dial systems, this decoding is done by relay +circuits, such as steppers. This circuitry is designed for dialing at the rate +of of 10 pulses per second, with a duty cycle of about 60% open, 40% closed. +The minimum time between digits is about 600 milliseconds, although a slightly +greater time between digits is safer since it avoids errors. In practice, + many COs will accept dialing at substantially slower or faster rates, and often +you will see a dial that has been speeded up by changing the mechanical gov- +ernor to operate almost twice as fast; it depends on the type of CO equipment. + Touchtone decoding is usually done by filter circuits which separate out +the Touchtone tones by filters and then use a transistor circuit to operate +a relay. A common decoder is the 247B, which is designed for use in small +dial switchboard systems of the type that would be installed on the premises +of a business for local communication between extensions. It consists of a +limiter amplifier, seven filters and relay drivers (one for each of the seven +tones commonly used) and some timing and checking circuitry. Each of the seven +relays has multiple contacts, which are then connected in various serial/par- +allel combinations to provide a grounding of one of ten output contacts, when a +digit is received. The standard 247B does not recognize the * and # digits, +but can be modified easily enough if you have the unit diagram. + The 247B decoder is not very selective, and can easily be triggered by +voice unless some additional timing circuits are connected at the output to +require that the relay closure exceed some minimum time interval before it is +accepted. Slightly more complicated decoders which have the time delays built +in are the A3-type and the C-type Touchtone receivers. Both of these are used +in customer-owned automatic switchboards when a caller from the outside (via +the telephone company) wants to be able to dial directly into the private +switchboard to call a specific extension. The C-type unit is similar to the +247B in that it has ten outputs one for each digit. The A3-type does not have +output relays, but instead has seven voltage outputs, one for each of the +seven basic tones, for activating external 48-volt relays. The A-3 unit is +ideal for activating a Touchtone encoder, which can then be used to regenerate +the touchtone digits if the original input is noisy. This might be very useful +in a repeater autopatch, for cleaning up Touchtone digits before they are +sent to the telephone system. + In addition to the above,there are probably other types of units specially +designed for use in the CO, but information on these is not readily available. +It is also fairly easy to build a Touchtone decoder from scratch. Though the +standard telephone company decoders all use filter circuits, it is much easier +(though perhaps not as reliable) to use NE567 phase-locked-loop integrated +circuits. + An interesting sidelight to Touchtone operation is that it greatly speeds +up the process of placing a call. With a Touchtone dial it is possible to +dial a call perhaps 3 to 5 times faster than with a rotary dial. Since the +CO equipment which receives and decodes the number is only needed on your line +during the dialing time, this means that this equipment can be switched off +your line sooner and can therefore handle more calls. In fact, the entire +Touchtone system was invented so that CO operation would be streamlined and +less equipment would be needed for handling calls. It is ironic that the cus- +tomer should be charged extra for a service which not only costs the telephone +company nothing, but even saves it money. + Another practice which may or may not cost the telephone company money +is the connection of privately-owned extension phones. You have probably seen +these sold by mail order houses and local stores. The telephone companies +claim that connecting these phones to their lines robs them of revenue and +also may cause damage to their equipment. There are others, of course, that +hold the opinion that the easy availability of extensions only causes people +to make more calls since they are more convenient, and that the companies +really benefit from such use. The question of damage to equipment is also not +easily answered, since most of the extension phones are directly compatible, + and in many cases the same type as the telephone company itself uses. Be that +as it may, this may be a good time to discuss such use. + Prior to an FCC decision on telephone company interconnection in the +Caterphone case in 1968, all telephone companies claimed that the connection +of any equipment to their lines was illegal. This was a slight misstatement +as no specific laws against such use were on the books. Instead, each local +telephone company had to file a tariff with the public service commission +in that state, and one of the provisions of that tariff was that no connection +of any external equipment was allowed. By its approval of that tariff, the +public service commission gave a sort of implicit legal status to the +prohibition. + In the Caterphone case, however, the FCC ruled that the connection of +outside equipment had to be allowed. The phone companies then relaxed their +tariff wording such that the connection of outside equipment was allowed if +this connection was through a connecting arrangement 'provided by the telephone +company' for the purpose of protecting its equipment from damage. Although +this result has been challenged in several states, that seems to be the present +status. The strange thing is that some telephone companies allow intercon- +nection of customer equipment without any hassle whatsoever, while others +really make things difficult for the customer. + + ...WHIPPLE + + (and Safe Cracker) + + +The End + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/holdit!.txt b/textfiles.com/phreak/holdit!.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..79dec59c --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/holdit!.txt @@ -0,0 +1,46 @@ + + HOW TO BUILD A HOLD BUTTON + --- -- ----- - ---- ------ + + 1.

Telephone systems are very different in appearance and design. There are +wall phones, desk phones, and cordless phones. (For your purposes, with +cordless phones, you deal only with the base station set, not the movable +part.) + +There are hard-wired phone lines, all sorts of national phone plugs and jacks, +and modular (small plastic connector) plugs and jacks. + +A few simple facts are all you need to make it easy to connect your computer +and become productive. + + +------------- +BASIC CONCEPT +------------- + +The idea of connecting a telephone in a strange location to your computer is as +simple as it is at home. The basic principal is to connect the modem's LINE +jack to the hotel phone's incoming phone line--the wires that feed the +connection to the hotel's instrument. + +Most telephone systems have one thing in common: no matter how many wires +connect the telephone to the outside, only TWO are used for the "talk pair", or +what gives you the ability to connect the computer. This concept is very +important: your mission is to determine how to connect to this pair of wires +and stay AWAY from all of the rest of them! + + +-------------------------------- +ELECTRONIC SAFETY MUST BE FIRST! +-------------------------------- + +First, a little defensive measure! The wires which you use to connect your +modem to the telephone system must have ONLY TWO copper conductors in them. You +can visit Radio Shack (known as Tandy in Europe), or your computer supplier, +and obtain a modular telephone cord like this which has a plug on each end. If +you look at the plug very carefully, you'll notice that it has six little +grooves, on the side of the plug opposite the tab which you press to unplug it. +Some of these grooves are shiny, and some look like plain plastic. The ones +which are shiny have conductors (metal that connects the groove [or pin, as +it's called] to the same groove on the other end). If you hold the cord up to +the light, and if it has a translucent outer cover, you can see two wires +running through the length of it. You will also be able to see the wires in +each of the two plugs, since the plugs are made out of clear plastic. In some +of the cords, if you look closely, you'll see that the center two wires are +colored red and green. + +Common home telephone cords have four conductors out of the six grooves; you +only want the MIDDLE TWO to be connected. + +Why be defensive? Strange telephone systems may use the other pins for +various purposes, such as signalling a message waiting for you at the hotel +desk. Some computer modems have the conductors other than the talk pair +connected to the phone jack, as well, and strange phone systems can destroy +your modem if the wrong electrical signals appear. + +Not only are we worried about only having the talk pair connected to your +modem, we have to worry about stray electrical currents through the phone line +itself, such as the jolts from lightning (which can wipe you RIGHT out)! You +need to have a telephone line surge suppressor that you plug into the hotel's +phone outlet, and your modem's cord into the suppressor. Note that most phone +line surge suppressors also will have to plug into your power strip; the way +the suppressor works, it takes the surge that is coming up the wires to +explode your modem, and instead convinces it to go down the ground wire of +your power strip, where there is nothing that can get hurt by it. This, in +case you hadn't noticed, is a Good Thing. + + +------------------------- +AHA! A PICTURE, AT LAST! +------------------------- + +Now, the connection idea. Here is a simple drawing of what we're trying to +achieve. The idea is to connect your computer to its modem (unless you have a +portable which has it connected internally). If it is external, you then +connect the computer's and the modem's electrical cords to your power strip, +which MUST contain an AC power surge suppressor (not the same as the phone +suppressor). If you are in a country whose electrical supply is 220 volts, +you will need to get a 220V power strip with surge suppressor; 110V surge +suppressors have been known to literally explode when connected to a 220V +power line, and even when connected to the 110-volt end of a 220V to 110V +transformer. + + In portables, these two + are generally in the + same casing your phone surge suppressor + / \ / + IMMMMMMMMMM; IMMMMMMMMMM; ZD?

If your modem is internal, you have one electrical cord to connect; +if external, you'll have two; many phone line surge suppressors use the ground +pin on a third, so you would have to connect that as well. You should also +have an extension cord in case the hotel's outlet is not convenient to either +you or the phone line; this should probably be the 110-volt variety. The +adapter plugs that come with most converter kits, and the transformers sold in +most converter kits, are *not* grounded; you may have to run a separate wire +from the center screw in the wall outlet in the hotel room, to the wire +attached to your 2-prong to 3-prong adapter. Most foreign power kits come +with two 220V to 110V boxes, a little light one, rated at 1000 watts or more, +called a "Converter", and a heavy one about the same size, rated 50 watts and +called a "Transformer". DO NOT, under any circumstances, plug your computer +or modem into the 1000-watt converter; if you do, you will suddenly have a +room full of smoke and no computer any more. + +To hook yourself up to the power line, then, you should do the following: + +1) Connect the wire on the 110V 2-prong to 3-prong converter to the screw in + the center of the power outlet. We do this first because it will be harder + to reach this screw after something has been plugged in. + +2) If in a location where the use of a transformer is appropriate, plug the + transformer into the wall, with the appropriate connectors. + +3) Plug the 2-prong to 3-prong adapter into the converter. + +4) Plug the power-line polarity checker into the 2-prong to 3-prong adapter. + If it indicates that the polarity is reversed, unplug the transformer from + the adapter plug, turn it around, and plug it back in. + + NOTE: If the polarity checker still says you have reversed polarity, you + are going to have to attach to the phone and power lines without surge + suppression; you might want to send a brief prayer to the patron saint of + communications. Then, disconnect the wire from the center screw of the + power outlet. + +5) Unplug the line polarity checker, and plug the power bar or surge + suppressor into the 110V outlet at the end of the whole business. + + +------------------------------------------- +AC POWER 2: CONNECTING DIRECTLY TO THE WALL +------------------------------------------- + +If your modem or computer is rated for the voltage available where you are +located (220 to 240 volts for 220-volt equipment or 110 to 130 volts for +110-volt equipment), you can plug it directly into the hotel's outlet. If in +a 220 to 240-volt area, you will need to get a 240-volt surge suppressor, +preferably in the country where you are travelling; then, plug that into the +wall, and plug your grounded 240V power-strip into that. Most European +countries use a round plug with two round prongs and a metal strip up the side +for ground; the UK is rather vastly different, with a square 3-prong plug. +So, unless your travels are going to cross the UK, you should be all right +with a single type of power bar and surge suppressor. + +We have never seen a phone-line surge suppressor in Europe; no doubt they will +be following hot on the heels of deregulation, but for the moment, you have to +put your trust in the PTT. + + +-------------------------------- +AC POWER 3: WHAT USUALLY HAPPENS +-------------------------------- + +Usually, a 220-volt-equipped computer takes too much power for the little +50-watt transformer; or, the computer plus the modem sum to more than 50 +watts, but the computer's battery charger draws less than 50 watts. What you +do then is run the computer off 220V, or off its internal batteries; and the +modem off the transformer. You will still need to connect the power strip, or +the surge suppressor, as mentioned in AC Power 1, in order to get the phone +line surge suppressor to work. + + +------------------------------ +DIFFERENT TYPES OF PHONE CORDS +------------------------------ + +Not only should you obtain a modular telephone cord with only two conductors +in it, but you should also obtain one with a modular plug on one end, and what +are called "spade lugs" on the other (metal U-shaped connectors which can slip +under the head of a screw, which is then tightened down to make an electrical +contact of metal to metal). + + +--------------- +RJ-14 THREE-TAP +--------------- + +At Tandy/Radio Shack, you can buy what's called an RJ-14 three-tap connector. +One end of this plugs into a modular phone jack which can be either one-line +or two-line capable. The other end has an identical RJ-14 outlet, and two +other RJ-11 outlets, one stenciled with LINE 1, and the other with LINE 2. +(VERY IMPORTANT: You aren't going to use LINE 2 at all for this purpose.) + + +------------------------------------------------- +MODULAR, RJ-11, RJ-14: WHAT DOES THIS STUFF MEAN? +------------------------------------------------- + +Well, it's like this. Before the "breakup", Ma Bell (actually Western +Electric) invented this new, neat system to connect phones to the wall, and to +connect phones together; you can replace bits of the phone that are most +likely to break, namely the wires, without having to open the case of the +phone. Just plug in a new wire. + +Because you can repair a phone simply by replacing the specific modules that +make it up, the whole system became known as "modular connectors". These come +in a number of sizes: two, four, six, up to twelve connectors; and they are +extremely rugged, as anything attached to a telephone is, so a lot of other +people started using them for things totally unconnected with the phone +company. Many manufacturers now use a modular jack to connect the keyboard to +its PPC series of computer. + +However, the electronics industry couldn't be satisfied with just calling it +"modular"; they have a different name for each type of hookup. The name, as +is typical of such interface standards, is a series of letters and numbers. +The three types that we will be most interested in are the RJ-11, RJ-12, and +RJ-14. + +Most home lines, and most modems, are connected to RJ-11 phone lines. This is +a six-connector jack, with only two pins actually used. + +An RJ-12 connector is the exact same size and shape, except that it has four +wires used instead of two. The two extra wires are used by some phone systems +to indicate that a line is in use. You don't have to worry about that; your +modem won't. + +An RJ-14 connector uses four wires also, but instead of using the extra two +wires to signal that a line is in use, it uses them to put a second phone line +on the same cable. The center two wires are the main phone line, and the outer +two are the second. (Actually, many US home phone systems are equipped with +RJ-14 modular cords even though the hookup is RJ-11 (two wires), just in case +you decide to add a second line, making hookup easier for the installer. The +center two wires are the main or first phone line, and the next outer two are +the second.) + + +-------------------- +NATIONAL PHONE PLUGS +-------------------- + +In every country, the national standard for the phone plug is different; so, +you will need to stop by an electronics parts store to buy a PTT-to-RJ-11 +adapter in each country you visit. Normally, this adapter plug will be the +local currency equivalent of $3 to $10. In most countries, you can find this +adapter in virtually any electronics parts store. + +In London, most of the electronics parts stores cluster in the Tottenham Court +Road. + +In Paris, the place to look is the BHV. + +In Den Haag (the Hague) in the Netherlands, there are a number of stores +around the Pavilioensgracht, though the best store we've found is Stuurt en +Bruin at Prinsegracht 34. You can also buy the adapter plug at any Primafoon +outlet in the Netherlands; addresses for Primafoon will be in the very +beginning of the white pages section of the phone book. (Look for a page +printed in green.) + +And, nowadays, in the U.S., most hotels and motels use the modular connector +almost exclusively. + + +-------------------------- +OLD-STYLE FOUR-PRONG PLUGS +-------------------------- + +You may also need a special converter which has a modular phone jack on one +end and a four-prong phone plug on the other; Radio Shack has these. + + +----------- +OTHER TOOLS +----------- + +Last in your kit, have a flat-blade screwdriver (1/4 inch is required, and 1/8 +inch is convenient), and a phillips screwdriver (#1 is the most common size). + + + -------------------------- + MOVING RIGHT ALONG, NOW! + -------------------------- + + +------------------------ +PHONES WITH MODEM JACKS! +------------------------ + +Nirvana! The easiest hookup is going to be in the very modern hotels, which +have telephones that contain a modem plug; when you encounter this, you laugh +a lot, first! Plug your two-conductor modular cord into the phone jack, and +the other end into modem, just as if you were at home! Put me away, you need +read no more! Dial CompuServe and get your latest stock quotes! + + +------------------------------ +PHONES WITH MODULAR WALL JACKS +------------------------------ + +The next best hookup is a hotel where the telephone is connected to the wall +with a modular plug. (Sometimes the modular plug is hidden behind a wall +plate that you must unscrew first.) When you unclip the modular plug from the +wall, plug your RJ-14 3-splitter into the wall. Plug the HOTEL's phone back +into the tap marked RJ-14. Plug YOUR two-conductor modular cord into the tap +marked LINE 1, and again, read no farther! + + +------------------------------- +PHONES WITH FOUR-PRONG PLUGS +------------------------------- + +If you find a phone with an old-style four-prong plug, unplug the phone, plug +in your modular-to-four-prong converter, plug your modular extension cord into +the wall, and go to it! + + +-------------------------- +PHONES WITH NATIONAL PLUGS +-------------------------- + +If you find a phone with a national plug, unplug the phone, plug in your +PTT-to-RJ-11 converter, plug your modular extension cord into the concverter, +and go to it! + + +---------------------------------- +PHONES WITH A SQUARE CONNECTOR BOX +---------------------------------- + +Now it gets a little more difficult. You walk in and find a phone with a cord +that goes into a little square box at the base of the wall. There are two +kinds of these boxes, the kind with only a single screw in the cover, and the +kind with no screws at all. + +If the box has a single screw in the center, take your 1/4 inch flat-blade +screwdriver, and gently unscrew the screw. + +If there are no screws on the box at all, look around the top and sides of the +box for a little slot, the right size to take your 1/4 inch screwdriver; when +you find it, insert the screwdriver and gently twist it. The box will pop +open on a hinge. (Note: this type of phone box is used especially in new +construction in Canada.) + +You'll usually see three or four screws below the cover. Each screw will have +one or more wires secured under it. The wires attached to the screws are +usually color-coded, though the colors will be different for each country. +In a lot of countries, they will have letter codes; two of the wires will be +labelled something similar, like L1 and L2, or A and B, or if you are really +lucky, "Tip" and "Ring". + +If there are lots of wires behind the wall plate, like 25 or 50, there will +probably be also a lot of wires labelled the same way, "L1" and "L2", for +instance. In this case, look only at the wires which are also connected to +your phone. The other ones will be connected to other telephones in the hotel, +and if you start playing with them, the hotel will be very mad at you. + +Carefully loosen one screw slightly, touching *only* that screw with your +hands and the screw driver (if you touch the two screws that go to your phone +at the same time and the phone happens to ring, you'll get a truly unpleasant +jolt). Take your modular cord with the spade lugs, and slip one spade lug +under it (don't let any other spade lugs slip out), and gently tighten the +screw back down. Repeat the process for the other screw. + +If the screws are close together, be SURE not to let the metal from one spade +lug TOUCH the metal from the other one! + +Crank up and compute! + + +------------------------------------------------------ +PHONES THAT CAN'T BE OPENED OR WITH INACCESSIBLE WIRES +------------------------------------------------------ + +There's an alternative connecting device which can be obtained which will +hook up phones where the *only* thing you can get to is the modular cord which +clips into the mouthpiece. This isn't cheap, however, because of the +electronics which are required to make this connection safely and correctly. +See the description of the Konexx unit at the end of this kit. + + +--------------------------------------------------------- +PHONES WITH DISAPPEARING WIRES AND WALL PHONES (ARGGHHH!) +--------------------------------------------------------- + +If you are lucky to find a wall phone that is plugged into a modular plate, +you can push up FIRMLY on the bottom of the phone, which will move it up about +half an inch (don't be surprised if you hear a snap when this happens), and +remove it from the wall; plug in your modular cord (if you want to use the +phone ALSO, don't remove it, just tap into it as follows). + + Sigh! + +All the easy solutions are gone now, but have no fear ... we'll get there. You +find no modular or national plugs, and no little box in the wall ... the wire +just disappears in there. So we tackle the telephone instead, to find those +little two wires. + +Turn the phone over and find the screws which undo the case. If you have a +conventional desk set, the screws are on the bottom. If you have a wall +phone, the screws are under the "number card" plastic protector (you can pop +this out with your 1/8 inch screwdriver blade). Take the case off the phone. + +Find the place where the phone wires connect to the phone line. In some +countries, notably the Netherlands, this is under a plate on the bottom of the +phone which is held on by only one screw; this is all neatly labelled as well. + +Follow the two wires you are looking for to the screws that hold them down. +Very often, this place appears on a plastic-looking wire block with many +screws. The two you need generally have something like "L1" and "L2" or "a" +and "b" stenciled next to the screws with the correct wires. DON'T touch any +other wires on this block! + +Perform the process where you loosen the screw and hook your spade lugs into +them, and tighten down, one at a time. + +Finally, take a break, relax, read the paper, take a swim, and compute at your +leisure ... YOU EARNED IT! + + +------------------------------- +COLOR CODING: HOW'S THAT AGAIN? +------------------------------- + +Every country has its own standards for coding the telephone lines; these +usually depend on the colors of the wires, which means that you can't work +for the phone company if you are color blind... + +For historical reasons, the two wires that make up your phone connection are +called "tip" and "ring". In the old days of the manual switchboard, each +phone line was connected to a single plug at the switchboard, which looked +very much like a large (1/4") stereo headphones plug. One line, the line that +was at the lower (and therefore safer to touch) voltage, was connected to the +connector at the tip of this plug, the other was connected to the ring around +the end of it, and the sleeve, or the rest of the plug, was connected to +ground. + +In the United States and Canada, the tip connection is always on the green +wire, the ring was always red. Sleeve was yellow, for some reason, but that +wire was usually not connected, so the name "sleeve" for that wire didn't +become popular. + +These days, the polarity of the phone wire doesn't matter as much; as recently +as 1980, a phone line had one polarity if it was a dial line, another if it +was a touch-tone line. Before the introduction of touch-tones, all phone lines +were supposed to have the same polarity. So many places will have tip and ring +reversed. To the best of our knowledge, no modem sold for personal cares +about whether tip and ring were reversed. + +Every country has its own color coding for the wires, as we said earlier; the +following table, while still incomplete, will list the colors used for the +two wires that your modem *must* have in order to work. Where two colors are +listed in one column, this means that the main color of the wire is the first +color, and it has a stripe of the second color; so "blue-white" is a blue +wire with a white stripe. If you discover errors in the table, or want to +add a new country to the list, please post a message for SysOp in IBMCOM, or +in IBMEUR, or contact Charles Wangersky [73747,2656]. + +For what it's worth, if you wish, you can use a voltmeter instead of a line +tester. Some people (like us) travel with a voltmeter. In this case, you can +tell tip and ring on your phone line by checking for a 48-volt signal when the +phone is hung up or disconnected; the ring line will be at -48 volts from the +tip line. The tip line will be near ground potential; the way to tell the +difference between that and sleeve is to pick up the phone. The sleeve voltage +won't change, but the voltage on the tip line will go from about 0 to about -2 +volts; meanwhile the voltage on the ring line will drop to about -10 volts. + + + Country 3 Tip (+) 3 Ring (-) + DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDEDDDDDDDDDDDDDEDDDDDDDDDDDDD + USA/Canada (normal) 3 Green 3 Red + USA/Canada (special) 3 Blue-White 3 White-Blue + Netherlands 3 Red 3 Blue + Germany 3 Red-black 3 Red + United Kingdom 3 White 3 Blue + + +---------------------------------------------------------- +SPECIAL NOTE FOR PEOPLE TRAVELLING IN THE UK AND HONG KONG +---------------------------------------------------------- + +The United Kingdom and Hong Kong use a different make/break ratio in their +phone dialers; a dial pulse in the UK is 33% of the time between one pulse +and the next, where in the US it is 39%. This doesn't sound like a big +difference, but it is; if you try to use the US pulse ratio on a UK phone +line, it will not work. + +Luckily, the people at Hayes who invented the standard for personal +direct-connect modems were aware of this difference, and so, starting with the +Smartmodem 1200 internal, included a command to change the make-break ratio; +and so nearly all other modems today have the ability to change from one to +the other. The command to set the UK pulse ratio is &P1; to reset it to US +standard, &P0. + +So, to change to the UK standard, you could send the command "AT&P1&W" to your +modem; this will change its power up default to the UK system. + + +---------------------------------------------------- +YOU MUST HEED THIS WARNING FOR YOUR OWN PROTECTION!! +---------------------------------------------------- + +Under no circumstances use ANY other wires inside the phone instrument or the +wall connector to connect to your modem. If you do so, you can destroy the +electronics inside the modem, inside the phone, and in some bizarre cases, +even inside your computer. + +ONLY the L1 and L2 incoming wires have the proper electrical signals to give +to your modem's telephone line (the right combination of voltage, current, +signals, and other characteristics)! Under no circumstances use a connection +cord to your modem which has more than TWO conductors in it! + +If the phone rings while you are connecting wires to it, or if you are +connecting wires while the phone is picked up, IT CAN BITE YOU! The voltage +used to ring the bells in the phone is 150 volts, 25 Hz; in the UK, it's 250V +at 25 Hz. This HURTS! If you have a weak heart, it can kill you! In many +countries, there is a meter on the phone; to make the meter tick over, the +phone company puts a pretty stiff voltage down the same wires that you will be +connecting to; in the Netherlands, this is 100 volts at 25 Hz. This also +hurts. When working with live circuits, remember this rule: ONLY ONE HAND ON +ANY PIECE OF EXPOSED METAL OF ANY KIND! EVER! + + +------------------- +YOUR PHONE KIT LIST +------------------- + +All of this, except for the surge suppressor and the mouthpiece interface, can +be acquired for about $50 at Tandy/Radio Shack or a local hardware store. +The phone line surge suppressor is a Networx Wire Cube, and can be had for +about $30. + +The kit should contain the following: + + 2 TWO-conductor modular-to-modular phone cords, each 25 feet long + If you can't find 25-foot long two-conductor cords, you + must have at LEAST one TWO-conductor cord of ANY length + used (you can combine this with FOUR-conductor cords with + your in-line connector). + 1 in-line modular phone connector (hard plastic about 2" long) + 1 3-jack RJ-14 to RJ-14 / RJ-11 / RJ-11 modular phone converter + 1 TWO-conductor phone cord with modular connector on one end, + and two spade lug connectors on the other.

It can also detect whether you have +a single- or dual-line phone, if you find a modular jack already installed. +This gizmo is only available in North America; since modular jacks aren't very +popular as yet in Europe, the Tandy stores over here don't see any point in +carrying them. If you're already in Europe, and you need such a tester, +contact Earle Robinson [76004,1762]; he has kindly offered to provide these at +his cost to the first dozen (or so, depending on how many he picks up) people +who contact him after each of his trips to the States. + +The mouthpiece interface is a Konexx unit, from Unlimited Systems Corp, Inc, +9225 Chesapeake Drive, Suite J, San Diego, CA 92123. Two models are +available. The 106 will work for most modems ($99), and the 107 ($125) will +support the few modems that require it and fax machines. The unit is about +2" x 1" x 1", and plugs into the telephone base unit where the hand set cord +goes. The hand set then plugs into one end of the unit, and your modem into +the other end. A switch changes from Voice to Data transmission. + + +--------------------------------- +A WORD OF CAUTION ON THE TOOL KIT +--------------------------------- + +It's useful to realize that the tool kit, with its suspicious looking wires and +tiny tools, could likely attract the attention of the inspectors at airline +security checks.

"She handed me the phone. She +said, `This man is cussing.'" + + Price dialed the number and got the same message. + + American Telephone & Telegraph Co., which sold the toll-free service for +the game, disconnected the number yesterday after AT&T officials dialed it and +got the same message that Price reported. + + According to the game's directions, the toll-free hot line offered helpful +clues for solving the Rubik's Magic Puzzle. Instead, it said: + + "Hello, thanks for calling Rubik's Magic Hot Line. I'm sorry, but I don't +feel like giving out any clues at the present time. Besides, any one of the +people that call these lines is just a stupid [expletive] without the brains to +solve it themselves. If you really want a big hint, go to the store and buy +one of the books on solving the puzzle. Hell, I get a commission on each one I +push. Well, thanks for calling Rubik's Magic Hot Line. Have a nice day." + + Yesterday, Price called the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio and Ohio +Bell Telephone Co. Both told her there was nothing they could do, [Good 'ol +quality Bell service! --Ed.] Price said. + + Then she called the Dayton Daily News and Journal Herald, which called +AT&T, which moved swiftly to disconnect it. The number was registered to +Matchbox Toys. + + "We're assuming that Matchbox Toys would not want that message given out," +said an AT&T spokesman in Columbus. "Until we can let them know that it is +there, we'll just make sure nobody else can get through on the line." + + Matchbox Toys was unaware of the problem, a spokesman said.

This is primarily meant +for information on possible ways crooks can tap your line(or the government, +same thing!!), but if you use these techniques personally, I suggest having +escapes... + Anyway, I guess I'll start with hot-mics. At least that's what I heard +they're called. They are made up of a few cheap components, and very easy to +make, requiring little skill(Hell, I can do it!). There are many types, but I +will just cover the primary ones: + +With a Resister only: + Well this is by far the simplest method of bugging any phone. The basic +principle is that by placing a resister over the hookswitch, enough power will +be let through to power the microphone in the phone, but not enough to make the +phone go "off-hook" The best way to do this is probably with a 10k ohm +resister, which are availible in 2-packs at radio shack for about 69. Simply +attach the resister to each side of one of the hookswitches(I suggest soldering) +and you can pick up the signal at another point on the line via a mini-amp +(will be explained later). You can also try using different strength resisters, +the less powerful the resister, the stronger the sound. You will be able to hear +room noise with this one. + +With a resister and a capacitor: + Use a 10k ohm resister, and a .47 uf, or 1 uf capacitor. Place these in +parallel across a hookswitch as in above. The capacitor should have a rating of +200 volts or more. The capacitor is also availible in radio shack, a pack of 2 +being less than a dollar. room audio comes in stronger with this one. + +Picking up the line: + Okay, well to tell the truth, I haven't gotten either of the above scams +to work, but this one is easy and surely works. The above things may or may not +work, but they probably DO, so you should probably try them. I probably have +trouble because I've only done the first one, which is less powerful than the +second. So now, let's get down to this listening business. All you need is a +mini-amp, availible at, yes, radio shack, for about 11.95. I can'tgive you the +exact cat. number, but it is a little beige thing, usually on display somewhere +You will also need a .022 uf capacitor, a small length of phone cord, and either +a mono female to male adapter, or a mono cord with one male end. They can be +stereo too, but the amplifier is only mono. they can also be either 1/8" or 1/4" +but the input on the mini amp is 1/8", so get an adapter if you get a 1/4"... +alright, now to connect the phone line to the amp, cut off one end of the phone +line, and strip the red and green wires inside(there should also be a black wire +and a yellow wire). Connect the capacitor to the red wire and one of the +contacts on the adapter or cable(you should strip the cable, or remove the cover +to the adapter, dur!) Connect the green wire to the other contact on the adapter +I soldered them and ti works great, but you don't have to. Now, obviously, you +need to plug the adapter into the mini amp, and the phone line into a jack. You +should now be able to listen in on any phone conversations, and if you have one +of the above hot-mics installed, you should be able to hear room conversations. + + I hope this file helps you to find any bugs, or to build anything you +might need.

These assemblies are the +speech network, the dialing mechanism, and the ringer or bell. +Together, these parts - as well as any additional devices such as +modems, dialers, and answering machines - are attached to the +phone line. + + +The phone line + + A telephone is usually connected to the telephone exchange +by about three miles (4.83 km) of a twisted pair of No.22 (AWG) +or 0.5 mm copper wires, known by your phone company as "the +loop". Although copper is a good conductor, it does have +resistance. The resistance of No.22 AWG wire is 16.46 Ohms per +thousand feet at 77 degrees F (25 degrees C). In the United +States, wire resistance is measured in Ohms per thousand feet; +telephone companies describe loop length in kilofeet (thousands +of feet). In other parts of the world, wire resistance is +usually expressed as Ohms per kilometer. + + Because telephone apparatus is generally considered to be +current driven, all phone measurements refer to current +consumption, not voltage. The length of the wire connecting the +subscriber to the telephone exchange affects the total amount of +current that can be drawn by anything attached at the +subscriber's end of the line. + + In the United States, the voltage applied to the line to +drive the telephone is 48 VDC; some countries use 50 VDC. Note +that telephones are peculiar in that the signal line is also the +power supply line. The voltage is supplied by lead acid cells, +thus assuring a hum-free supply and complete independence from +the electric company, which may be especially useful during power +outages. + + At the telephone exchange the DC voltage and audio signal +are separated by directing the audio signal through 2 uF +capacitors and blocking the audio from the power supply with a 5- +Henry choke in each line. Usually these two chokes are the coil +windings of a relay that switches your phone line at the +exchange; in the United States, this relay is known as the "A" +relay (see fig.1). The resistance of each of these chokes is 200 +Ohms. + + We can find out how well a phone line is operating by using +Ohm's law and an ammeter. The DC resistance of any device +attached to the phone line is often quoted in telephone company +specifications as 200 Ohms; this will vary in practice from +between 150 to 1,000 Ohms. You can measure the DC resistance of +your phone with an Ohmmeter. Note this is DC resistance, not +impedance. + + + Using these figures you can estimate the distance between +your telephone and the telephone exchange. In the United States, +the telephone company guarantees you no lower current than 20 mA +- or what is known to your phone company as a "long loop." A +"short loop" will draw 50 to 70 mA, and an average loop, about 35 +mA. Some countries will consider their maximum loop as low as 12 +mA. In practice, United States telephones are usually capable of +working at currents as low as 14 mA. Some exchanges will +consider your phone in use and feed dial tone down the line with +currents as low as 8 mA, even though the telephone may not be +able to operate. + + Although the telephone company has supplied plenty of nice +clean DC direct to your home, don't assume you have a free +battery for your own circuits. The telephone company wants the +DC resistance of your line to be about 10 megOhms when there's no +apparatus in use ("on hook," in telephone company jargon); you +can draw no more than 5 microamperes while the phone is in that +state. When the phone is in use, or "off hook," you can draw +current, but you will need that current to power your phone, any +current you might draw for other purposes would tend to lower the +signal level. + + The phone line has an impedance composed of distributed +resistance, capacitance, and inductance. The impedance will vary +according to the length of the loop, the type of insulation of +the wire, and whether the wire is aerial cable, buried cable, or +bare parallel wires strung on telephone poles. For calculation +and specification purposes, the impedance is normally assumed to +be 600 to 900 Ohms. If the instrument attached to the phone line +should be of the wrong impedance, you would get a mismatch, or +what telephone company personnel refer to as "return loss." +(Radio Amateurs will recognize return loss as SWR.) A mismatch +on telephone lines results in echo and whistling, which the phone +company calls "singing" and owners of very cheap telephones may +have come to expect. A mismatched device can, by the way, be +matched to the phone line by placing resistors in parallel or +series with the line to bring the impedance of the device to +within the desired limits. This will cause some signal loss, of +course, but will make the device usable. + + A phone line is balanced feed, with each side equally +balanced to ground. Any imbalance will introduce hum and noise +to the phone line and increase susceptibility to RFI. + + The balance of the phone line is known to your telephone +company as "longitudinal balance." If both impedance match and +balance to ground are kept in mind, any device attached to the +phone line will perform well, just as the correct matching of +transmission lines and devices will ensure good performance in +radio practice. + + If you live in the United States, the two phone wires +connected to your telephone should be red and green. (In other +parts of the world they may be different colors.) The red wire +is negative and the green wire is positive. Your telephone +company calls the green wire "Tip" and the red wire "Ring". (In +other parts of the world, these wires may be called "A" and "B".) +Most installations have another pair of wires, yellow and black. +These wires can be used for many different purposes, if they are +used at all. Some party lines use the yellow wire as a ground; +sometimes there's 6.8 VAC on this pair to light the dials of +Princess type phones. If you have two separate phone lines (not +extensions) in your home, you will find the yellow and black pair +carrying a second telephone line. In this case, black is "Tip" +and yellow is "Ring." + + The above description applies to a standard line with a DC +connection between your end of the line and the telephone +exchange. Most phone lines in the world are of this type, known +as a "metallic line." In a metallic line, there may or may not +be inductance devices placed in the line to alter the frequency +response of the line; the devices used to do this are called +"loading coils." (Note: if they impair the operation of your +modem, your telephone company can remove them.) Other types of +lines are party lines, which may be metallic lines but require +special telephones to allow the telephone company to +differentiate between subscribers. Very long lines may have +amplifiers, sometimes called "loop extenders" on them. Some +telephone companies use a system called "subscriber carrier," +which is basically an RF system in which your telephone signal is +heterodyned up to around 100 Khz and then sent along another +subscriber's "twisted pair." + + If you have questions about your telephone line, you can +call your telephone company; depending on the company and who you +can reach, you may be able to obtain a wealth of information. + + +The Speech Network + + The speech network - also known as the "hybrid" or the "two +wire/four wire network" - takes the incoming signal and feeds it +to the earpiece and takes the microphone output and feeds it down +the line. The standard network used all over the world is an LC +device with a carbon microphone; some newer phones use discrete +transistors or ICs. + + One of the advantages of an LC network is that it has no +semiconductors, is not voltage sensitive, and will work +continuously as the voltage across the line is reduced. Many +transistorized phones stop working as the voltage approaches 3 to +4 Volts. + + When a telephone is taken off the hook, the line voltage +drops from 48 Volts to between 9 and 3 Volts, depending on the +length of the loop. If another telephone in parallel is taken +off the hook, the current consumption of the line will remain the +same and the voltage across the terminals of both telephones will +drop. Bell Telephone specifications state that three telephones +should work in parallel on a 20 mA loop; transistorized phones +tend not to pass this test, although some manufacturers use ICs +that will pass. Although some European telephone companies claim +that phones working in parallel is "technically impossible," and +discourage attempts to make them work that way, some of their +telephones will work in parallel. + + While low levels of audio may be difficult to hear, overly +loud audio can be painful. Consequently, a well designed +telephone will automatically adjust its transmit and receive +levels to allow for the attenuation - or lack of it - caused by +the length of the loop. This adjustment is called "loop +compensation." In the United States, telephone manufacturers +achieve this compensation with silicon carbide varistors that +consume any excess current from a short loop (see fig. 2). +Although some telephones using ICs have built-in loop +compensation, many do not; the latter have been designed to +provide adequate volume on the average loop, which means that +they provide low volume on long loops, and are too loud on short +loops. Various countries have different specifications for +transmit and receive levels; some European countries require a +higher transmit level than is standard in the United States so a +domestically-manufactured telephone may suffer from low transmit +level if used on European lines without modification. + + Because a telephone is a duplex device, both transmitting +and receiving on the same pair of wires, the speech network must +ensure that not too much of the caller's voice is fed back into +his or her receiver. This function, called "sidetone," is +achieved by phasing the signal so that some cancellation occurs +in the speech network before the signal is fed to the receiver. +Callers faced with no sidetone at all will consider the phone +"dead." Too little sidetone will convince callers that they're +not being heard and cause them to shout, "I can hear you. Can +you hear ME?" Too much sidetone causes callers to lower their +voices and not be heard well at the other end of the line. + + A telephone on a short loop with no loop compensation will +appear to have too much sidetone, and callers will lower their +voices. In this case, the percentage of sidetone is the same, +but as the overall level is higher the sidetone level will also +be higher. + + +The Dial + + There are two types of dials in use around the world. The +most common one is called pulse, loop disconnect, or rotary; the +oldest form of dialing, it's been with us since the 1920's. The +other dialing method, more modern and much loved by Radio +Amateurs is called Touch-tone, Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) +or Multi-Frequency (MF) in Europe. In the U.S. MF means single +tones used for system control. + + Pulse dialing is traditionally accomplished with a rotary +dial, which is a speed governed wheel with a cam that opens and +closes a switch in series with your phone and the line. It works +by actually disconnecting or "hanging up" the telephone at +specific intervals. The United States standard is one disconnect +per digit, so if you dial a "1," your telephone is +"disconnected" once. Dial a seven and you'll be "disconnected" +seven times; dial a zero, and you'll "hang up " ten times. Some +countries invert the system so "1" causes ten "disconnects" and +0, one disconnect. Some add a digit so that dialing a 5 would +cause six disconnects and 0, eleven disconnects. There are even +some systems in which dialing 0 results in one disconnect, and +all other digits are plus one, making a 5 cause six disconnects +and 9, ten disconnects. + + Although most exchanges are quite happy with rates of 6 to +15 Pulses Per Second (PPS), the phone company accepted standard +is 8 to 10 PPS. Some modern digital exchanges, free of the +mechanical inertia problems of older systems, will accept a PPS +rate as high as 20. + + Besides the PPS rate, the dialing pulses have a make/break +ratio, usually described as a percentage, but sometimes as a +straight ratio. The North American standard is 60/40 percent; +most of Europe accepts a standard of 63/37 percent. This is the +pulse measured at the telephone, not at the exchange, where it's +somewhat different, having traveled through the phone line with +its distributed resistance, capacitance, and inductance. In +practice, the make/break ratio does not seem to affect the +performance of the dial when attached to a normal loop. Bear in +mind that each pulse is a switch connect and disconnect across a +complex impedance, so the switching transient often reaches 300 +Volts. Try not to have your fingers across the line when +dialing. + + Most pulse dialing phones produced today use a CMOS IC and a +keyboard. Instead of pushing your finger round in circles, then +removing your finger and waiting for the dial to return before +dialing the next digit, you punch the button as fast as you want. +The IC stores the number and pulses it out at the correct rate +with the correct make/break ratio and the switching is done with +a high-voltage switching transistor. Because the IC has already +stored the dialed number in order to pulse it out at the correct +rate, it's a simple matter for telephone designers to keep the +memory "alive" and allow the telephone to store, recall, and +redial the Last Number Dialed (LND). This feature enables you to +redial by picking up the handset and pushing just one button. + +Because pulse dialing entails rapid connection and disconnection +of the phone line, you can "dial" a telephone that has lost its +dial, by hitting the hook-switch rapidly. It requires some +practice to do this with consistent success, but it can be done. +A more sophisticated approach is to place a Morse key in series +with the line, wire it as normally closed and send strings of +dots corresponding to the digits you wish to dial. + + Touch tone, the most modern form of dialing, is fast and +less prone to error than pulse dialing. Compared to pulse, its +major advantage is that its audio band signals can travel down +phone lines further than pulse, which can travel only as far as +your local exchange. Touch-tone can therefore send signals +around the world via the telephone lines, and can be used to +control phone answering machines and computers. Pulse dialing is +to touch-tone as FSK or AFSK RTTY is to Switched Carrier RTTY, +where mark and space are sent by the presence or absence of DC or +unmodulated RF carrier. Most Radio Amateurs are familiar with +DTMF for controlling repeaters and for accessing remote and auto +phone patches. + + Bell Labs developed DTMF in order to have a dialing system +that could travel across microwave links and work rapidly with +computer controlled exchanges. Each transmitted digit consists +of two separate audio tones that are mixed together (see fig.3). +The four vertical columns on the keypad are known as the high +group and the four horizontal rows as the low group; the digit 8 +is composed of 1336 Hz and 852 Hz. The level of each tone is +within 3 dB of the other, (the telephone company calls this +"Twist"). A complete touch-tone pad has 16 digits, as opposed to +ten on a pulse dial. Besides the numerals 0 to 9, a DTMF "dial" +has *, #, A, B, C, and D. Although the letters are not normally +found on consumer telephones, the IC in the phone is capable of +generating them. + + The * sign is usually called "star" or "asterisk." The # +sign, often referred to as the "pound sign." is actually called +an octothorpe. Although many phone users have never used these +digits - they are not, after all, ordinarily used in dialing +phone numbers - they are used for control purposes, phone +answering machines, bringing up remote bases, electronic banking, +and repeater control. The one use of the octothorpe that may be +familiar occurs in dialing international calls from phones in the +United States. After dialing the complete number, dialing the +octothorpe lets the exchange know you've finished dialing. It +can now begin routing your call; without the octothorpe, it would +wait and "time out" before switching your call. + + When DTMF dials first came out they had complicated cams and +switches for selecting the digits and used a transistor +oscillator with an LC tuning network to generate the tones. +Modern dials use a matrix switch and a CMOS IC that synthesizes +the tones from a 3.57MHz (TV color burst) crystal. This +oscillator runs only during dialing, so it doesn't normally +produce QRM. + + Standard DTMF dials will produce a tone as long as a key is +depressed. No matter how long you press, the tone will be +decoded as the appropriate digit. The shortest duration in which +a digit can be sent and decoded is about 100 milliseconds (ms). +It's pretty difficult to dial by hand at such a speed, but +automatic dialers can do it. A twelve-digit long distance number +can be dialed by an automatic dialer in a little more than a +second - about as long as it takes a pulse dial to send a single +0 digit. + + The output level of DTMF tones from your telephone should be +between 0 and -12 dBm. In telephones, 0 dB is 1 miliwatt over +600 Ohms. So 0 dB is 0.775 Volts. Because your telephone is +considered a 600 Ohm load, placing a voltmeter across the line +will enable you to measure the level of your tones. + + +The Ringer + + Simply speaking this is a device that alerts you to an +incoming call. It may be a bell, light, or warbling tone. The +telephone company sends a ringing signal which is an AC waveform. +Although the common frequency used in the United States is 20 HZ, +it can be any frequency between 15 and 68 Hz. Most of the world +uses frequencies between 20 and 40 Hz. The voltage at the +subscribers end depends upon loop length and number of ringers +attached to the line; it could be between 40 and 150 Volts. Note +that ringing voltage can be hazardous; when you're working on a +phone line, be sure at least one telephone on the line is off the +hook (in use); if any are not, take high voltage precautions. +The telephone company may or may not remove the 48 VDC during +ringing; as far as you're concerned, this is not important. +Don't take chances. + + The ringing cadence - the timing of ringing to pause - +varies from company to company. In the United States the cadence +is normally 2 seconds of ringing to 4 seconds of pause. An +unanswered phone in the United States will keep ringing until the +caller hangs up. But in some countries, the ringing will "time +out" if the call is not answered. + + The most common ringing device is the gong ringer, a +solenoid coil with a clapper that strikes either a single or +double bell. A gong ringer is the loudest signaling device that +is solely phone-line powered. + + Modern telephones tend to use warbling ringers, which are +usually ICs powered by the rectified ringing signal. The audio +transducer is either a piezoceramic disk or a small loudspeaker +via a transformer. + + Ringers are isolated from the DC of the phone line by a +capacitor. Gong ringers in the United States use a 0.47 uF +capacitor. Warbling ringers in the United States generally use a +1.0 uF capacitor. Telephone companies in other parts of the +world use capacitors between 0.2 and 2.0 uF. The paper +capacitors of the past have been replaced almost exclusively with +capacitors made of Mylar film. Their voltage rating is always +250 Volts. + + The capacitor and ringer coil, or Zeners in a warbling +ringer, constitute a resonant circuit. When your phone is hung +up ("on hook") the ringer is across the line; if you have turned +off the ringer you have merely silenced the transducer, not +removed the circuit from the line. + + When the telephone company uses the ringer to test the line, +it sends a low-voltage, low frequency signal down the line +(usually 2 Volts at 10 Hz) to test for continuity. The company +keeps records of the expected signals on your line. This is how +it can tell you have added equipment to your line. If your +telephone has had its ringer disconnected, the telephone company +cannot detect its presence on the line. + + Because there is only a certain amount of current available +to drive ringers, if you keep adding ringers to your phone line +you will reach a point at which either all ringers will cease to +ring, some will cease to ring, or some ringers will ring weakly. +In the United States the phone company will guarantee to ring +five normal ringers. A normal ringer is defined as a standard +gong ringer as supplied in a phone company standard desk +telephone. Value given to this ringer is Ringer Equivalence +Number (REN) 1. If you look at the FCC registration label of +your telephone, modem, or other device to be connected to the +phone line, you'll see the REN number. It can be as high as 3.2, +which means that device consumes the equivalent power of 3.2 +standard ringers, or 0.0, which means it consumes no current when +subjected to a ringing signal. If you have problems with +ringing, total up your RENs; if the total is greater than 5, +disconnect ringers until your REN is at 5 or below. + + Other countries have various ways of expressing REN, and +some systems will handle no more than three of their standard +ringers. But whatever the system, if you add extra equipment and +the phones stop ringing, or the phone answering machine won't +pick up calls, the solution is disconnect ringers until the +problem is resolved. Warbling ringers tend to draw less current +than gong ringers, so changing from gong ringers to warbling +ringers may help you spread the sound better. + + Frequency response is the second criterion by which a ringer +is described. In the United States most gong ringers are +electromechanically resonant. They are usually resonant at 20 +and 30 Hz (+&- 3 Hz). The FCC refers to this as A so a normal +gong ringer is described as REN 1.0A. The other common frequency +response is known as type B. Type B ringers will respond to +signals between 15.3 and 68.0 Hz. Warbling ringers are all type +B and some United States gong ringers are type B. Outside the +United States, gong ringers appear to be non-frequency selective, +or type B. + + Because a ringer is supposed to respond to AC waveforms, it +will tend to respond to transients (such as switching transients) +when the phone is hung up, or when the rotary dial is used on an +extension phone. This is called "bell tap" in the United States; +in other countries, it's often called "bell tinkle." While +European and Asian phones tend to bell tap, or tinkle, United +States ringers that bell tap are considered defective. The bell +tap is designed out of gong ringers and fine tuned with bias +springs. Warbling ringers for use in the United States are +designed not to respond to short transients; this is usually +accomplished by rectifying the AC and filtering it before it +powers the IC, then not switching on the output stage unless the +voltage lasts long enough to charge a second capacitor. + + +Conclusion + + This brief primer describing the working parts of a +telephone is intended to provide a better understanding of phone +equipment. Note that most telephone regulatory agencies, +including the FCC, forbid modification of anything that has been +previously approved or attached to phone lines. + + End of text.

Guide to Hacking, Phreaking, Carding + + By: The Dark Lord + + + Introduction: + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + This is a text file is made by The Mickey Mouse Club and we ask + that it would be distibuted to others for their use. This file is going to + go into depth on how to hack, phreak, and card. There will be information + that should help everyone, hopefully!! + + + + + Hacking: + ~~~~~~~~~~ + Hacking is a long hard process, unless you get lucky. There are many + programs and aids out to make the job a lot easier, but the concept is + the same no matter how you use it. First, at least on most things that you + hack, you need to get some type of account or vacancy, etc... This is done + by randomly entering numbers and or letters until you come up with the + proper combination to find the account. Knowing the size of the account + number makes this job one-hundred times easier. Thats why I suggest you + find out from someone who allready has one or card one. By carding the + account, it will die quickly but at least it will give you the length + of the account numbers (More on that topic will be expained in the carding + section). The accound numbers, do not always just contain numbers or have + numbers at all in it. If it has a mix, it makes it a hell of a lot harder + to get. You will just have to experiment to find out what charactors are + contained in the account. Some Examples of ones that do have mixes of + numbers and letters would be Pc Persuit accounts. The forms of them are + usuall as such: + + Account: Pgp014764g + Password: 23632k + + It looks from these that you are pretty much screw because of the way + letters are mixed with numbers, thats what makes having a program so much + easier. In a lot of circumstances, getting the account is the hardest part + that is why having a good background of the system is a major plus in your + favor. + Once you have got the account, it is time to get the password for this + account. Once again having the length and such makes this process not only + easier, but faster. just keep entering random passwords of the length or + the thought length in until you get a stoke of luck and get it. You MUST + remember that 99.5 out of 100 times, this is a long process, and you have + to have patience. If you don't you might as well forget ever getting on + to the system or have someone else do it for you. Once you have gotten + the password, look it over long and hard. Write it down and keep it, + examine it. 99% of the time there is a pattern to all the account + passwords. Things to look at is the password in reference to the account + number. check to see if things have been added to the end or beginning + like 00 or 01 or 99 of 0010 thing like that. If you see no relations, + the only other way to really find out the pattern in to get another one. + Look at both of them together, see if there the same or it account 400's + password is 3456 and 402's password is 3458 (they go in order) then just + those as a reference to other passwords, take away so much from accounts + with a lower number and add the required amounts to accounts with a higher + number, etc.... But bassicly, LOOK FOR A PATTERN! Once you have got the + password and the account, you have got yourself a passage way in. + Although this is what you do to succeed, you have to take + many precautions. They do NOT like us messing with the system and they + obviously want you to pay just like the others, so they will take necessary + means to nail you. They trace like you wouldn't belive. They will trace + right as you get on, if you happen to be unlucky, you will never know when + they are doing it either, you must ALWAYS be aware of the dangers and take + precautions!!! Even on things that you wouldn't think that they would trace + you but, be carfull. Whether they trace depends on a couple of things, here + are a few major ones: + + 1. There bank balance + 2. There desire to catch you + 3. The amount of infestation in there system + + There are things that you can do to protect yourself, these are not all + of them and none of them are sure fire ways, but hey, cutting down your + chances of getting caught makes a world of difference, because remember, + All the fun is taken away if you caught. Some things to do to protect + yourself is: + + 1. Use a diverter + 2. Use false information about you + 3. Never stay On-line too long + 4. Call during late or early hours, were there is most likely no one + monitoring the system + 5. Don't call frequently or during the same hours, regulate it + + Once again these are not all of them but these are some of the "More" + helpfull things. If you follow all the step, you can reduce the change of + getting caught by about 40%. + If you do get caught there is not a whole lot that you can do, but some + tips are, first, don't reveal any information on what you have done. Deny + all charges. Sencond, plea bargin with knowladge of things, like hacked + sytems etc.. But never admit that you did it. Three, and most important, + get a GOOD LAWYER!!!!!!! + + + DIFFERENT TYPES OF SYSTEMS: + + Pc Persuit Cp\m + Trw + Unix + Vmb + Vms + + These are just a few systems, if I made a complete list There would + be pratically no end to it, there are millions. + + + + + + + + + + Phreaking: +~~~~~~~~~~~~ + + Phreaking, Ahhhwwww, the wonderfull world of phreaking. Well to start + with Phreaking is "The use of Telecommunications to others besides people + of the Phone Company". Well thats my version of the definition at least. + Using codes is wuit easy, there are different parts to it, the Dial-up, + the code, and the number. First you will have to dial in the dial-up and + on most dial ups you will get a tone or a buzz or click or something to + that effect. Once you hear this, and you will know when you hear it you + dial in the code. Sometime you will get another tone or beep etc. and when + you do that is when you dial in the number. If you do not get another tone + or whatever you just dial in the number right after you enter the code. + You might have to have a test dial up to see how the tones go. + In dialing the number once agian the nubers differ. You must enter the + area code and then the nuber. Some require that you have a one before the + area code but most that I have used do not. You can tell if the code worked + right after the number has been put in not just by the error recording that + you get but if right off the bat the phone begins to ring, it doesn't work. + A code can also be busy. If it is busy it could mean that the code is + dead or that too many people are using it at once. You might experiance + this often. + There are numbers that make phreaking much safer, they are called + diverters. What the do is when the number that you have dial is being + traced it diverts it to that number. Unless this is virgin or nobody else + uses it, you will find that with in a couple of days after it is out, it + will be busy, that is the annoyance about diverters, and they are also hard + to get. + Hacking is also put into play in phreaking by using programs to get + dial ups and the codes. Getting these are done in the same way you hack + anything else. Just get a program like code thief or code hacker, or make + one yourself, it is quite easy. + There is a danger with useing the codes. If you hack a code yourself, + not just the code but the dial up amd no one else has it you can pretty well + bet that it is safe. A newly hacked dial-up/code is considered "Virgin". + those Ma bell is not having the problem with people phreaking off of it + so they don't bother doing anything with it. But after a while, it will + either Die (No Longer work) or they will start tracing off of it. The + whole pain about it is, is you will never positively no when they started + doing traces or things like that. The codes might be being traced but you + are getting the luck of the draw. On most codes they don't trace on every + call, they just file it away and watch for like the 50th or 100th caller + and then that person gets nailed. You might think if they do trace every + 100 calls, that means you have a 1 in 100 chance of getting caught and those + are really good odds. Well the odd is 100 to 1 but the is a lot of people + that live in areas that they can call with that code. If you figure about + 10 million people could use it then about 100,000 of them are. 100,000, + hummmmmmm, how odes your odds look now. In a couple minute time spand + 99 peoplecould have used it, and lucky you might be the 100th caller. A + lot of times the take like every hundered calls and then when they get the + 100th caller, that don't just trace one, they trace 100, 101, 102, 103, 104 + 200, 201, 202 etc. So you chances of getting caught when the heat is on + the code is pretty good. There are a couple different types of codes and + the two major ones are 1-800's and 950's. 800's can pretty much be dialed + from anywhere in the states, but 950's stay in certain areas. Some 950 + dial ups are: + + 9501001 + 9500266 + 9500355 + 9501388 + + And there are others, but like take me for example, where I live you + cannot use 9500266. It will tell you that you cannot use that number from + your dialing range or it just won't work. You might get to the point where + the dial-up works but not the code. If this is the case it will say: + "Invalid authorization Code" + + Some examples of 1-800's are as follows: + + 1-800-255-2255 + 1-800-759-2345 + 1-800-959-8255 + + There are many others but those are just a few, very few. There are + also 1-800's and others that will send you directly to the operator, you + must tell her the code and the number you are dialing. These are NEVER + safe to use. but in one case they are alot better. I am out of town a lot + so I have to use pay phones right? Well, you are safe with anything with + pay phones, so that is a good way to call people. The real good thing + them though, is since you must go throught th operator, the codes stay valid + for up to 10 times as long as the others. But thenm again another draw back + is it is not a line that you want to give real names or numbers over. + Because these are often tapped, since the operator know that you used the + code, they will listen in quite often, and you will never even notice. + Another problem experianced with them is if you are what MMC calls + "Petite Flowers", + our home made word for, someone that sounds like a little kid, then they + really give you a hastle about using the code. + I have had a lot of people ask me if the person you are calling with the + codes can get busted. The answer is "No". They cannot do anything to the + person, just ask him who is calling him with the codes, and they rarely do + that. Just let the person you are talking to, if they don't already know, + not to tell anyone that you are calling with the codes. The phone + companies do have to option of setting up a trace on that persons line and + bust you when you do call him with a code. I have never seen this done but + do be aware that the phone companies are made up of intellegent adults and + they are very smart and can and will nail you in many ways. + I am a firm beliver that you should share a the information that you + other phreakers and hackers as they should do the same with you. I also + see an execption, inexperianced people. They can run it for everyone be not + have the knowladge and screwing up. I realize that they need someway to + build themselves up to a good phreaker but be cautions in what you give to + them. + Codes die really often and you really have to keep up with the phone + company. Its kinda of a pain to keep up with it on your own as quickly as + they work but thats why there is phreaking communities and groups such + as Fhp and MMC, the gives the edge to the phreakers in the way that, you + have help in keeping up with the phone companies, and in most cases if + the groups or communities are working well together, you can eve stay + one step ahead of good 'ole Ma bell and others. You really need to find + ways of getting codes either from getting acess to the phreaking sections + on the pirate boards you call or throught friends, Vmb's Loops, Confrences, + etc., just try to find a good connection to people that are into phreaking + too. + + + + + + + + + + Carding: +~~~~~~~~~~ + + + + Although everything talked about in the text file to this point is + illegal, and you will get busted if you get caught, this is one one the + one that you can get in some major shit over. About the only thing I have + talked about that this falls short of is hacking a government compter, and + thats one of the Grand daddies of them all. Well, although it is a major + crime, it is really cool!!!! This is the process in which you find the card + number of someone and use it to purchase things. In order to card, there + are a few things that you must have or it will not work. You will need to + have........ + + 1. The Card Number + 2. The Experation date + 3. Card type (Master Card, Visa, etc...) + + Those are the main things tha you will need. Having the name of the owner + is very helpfull but it is not a must. You can get by without it. + You have to order everything you want by mail. A couple of "Beginner" + carder that I talked to didn't understand how you would do it, but thats + when they had the misconception that you actually go to the store and + purchase things. That is a complete No, no. You do everything from a + phone ordering service. + When you call make sure that you are a t a pay phone. Don't do it + your house or anywhere where it can come back to you. When you order + the merchandice, once again do send it to anywhere that it can come back to + you like your home, work, etc. Find a vacant house or building or anywhere + else that you can send it to. Also, don't send it to a P.O. box that you + have, just as dangerous. When you do order it and you think its around the + time that you will be reciving it, check the mailbox frequently. But do it + during odd hours. I mean, hows it going to look you taking a package from a + vacant house? + Most bills are sent at the end of the month or at the biginning, so + try to time it to where the bill won't come to the person untill a couple of + days after you have recived the package. Ok heres how to figure it. I + have found out that the bills are sent out up around the 26-30th of the + month, so they will actually recive the bill around the 31-4th. Have it + sent right after you think the bill has been sent. Find what you want, but + try to order it from the place that guarentees the fastest delivery. When + you order the item, make sure they have it in stock and don't have to get + the item in first. Order the highest class of delivery but not COD or + next day service. Thats cutting it too close. It should take around 2-4 + weeks before you get it and if you timed it right, then it sound get there + right before the person gets the bill. You need to have it in your + possesion before the bill gets to the person because if they complain, they + can keep it from being sent, or watch who actually gets it even while its + going throught the mail process. Don't order more than a couple of things + or overcharge the card, if the people at the Credit card office, see + irregular charging on the card, they will follow up on it. + To actually order the item you will call up the place that you will + be ordering from, and when the operator answers let her know what you need + to as far as what you are purchasing, etc. When she ask how you will be + paying just tell her "Charge" and the the type of card like Master Card, + Visa, ect. Then Tell them your name, if you don't know the name of the + actuall owner of the card, Make up a false name that has NO relation to + your name, not the same first, last middle what ever, nothing relating to + your real name. Then continue answering all the operators questions, + address (Not your own remember!) state, area code etc. They will also ask + for your phone number. Make one up, not your own. If something happens + to go wrong as far as delivery or if they are checking if you are who you + say, then your screwed, unless of course, hehehe, the number is ALWAYS + busy. Find the busiest number there is and leave them that. When they + ask for the card number and experation, just tell them and do what all + else you need. Wish them a good day, and hope you get it. + Ok heres how you check if the card is good, and how much money + can be charged on the card....... + + 1. Dail 1-800-554-2265 + + 2. it will ask for the type of the card. you must put in 10 for Master + Card and 20 for Visa, I am not sure about the others. + + 3. Next it will ask for the Identification. You will need to enter + 1067 + + 4. After all that you will have to enter the Mecrchant number, which + you will either need to put in 24 or 52. One of them should work. + + 5. You will then have to enter (When Prompted) the card number itself. + + 6. Next, the experation date of the card. + + 7. Last but not least the amount you want to try to get on the card. + The procedure for this is enter dollars, astricks, then cents. + (Example:) + 100*30 = One hundred dollars and thirty cents. + + One thing I do need to mention, after you type in everything you must press + pound (#). Like when it asks you for the type of card, if you had a Master + Card you would put: 10#. when it asked for identification you would enter + 1067#. If it says invalid, that either means that the card is no good or + you can't charge that amount on the card. Try it again, but try a lower + amount. If you get down to $1 and it still doesn't work, hehehe, you can + probably guess that the card is no good. + You might not be ordering just merchandice you might be ordering + accounts and things like that and if you are, fine, but you have to + remember, the accounts do not stay good for very long, the owner of the + card gets the bill, complains and its no longer any good. And when you + card and account, Nine out of ten times, they won't kill the account, they + will trace in and that is when you butts really in a sling. So carding + accounts and things, isn't the safest way to go, of course. nothing we + have talked about it, right? + + + + + + Conclusion: +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + + Well thats about it for now, there should be a BIG newsletter by + The Mickey Mouse Club comming out soon that you have to be sure NOT to miss. + I sincerely hope that you have gotten alot out of this file and I would like + to ask for suggestions and ideas to make MMC a better orginazation. At this + time myself and Cardiac Arresst have a VMB at: + + 1-800-444-7207 [Ext] 4001. + + All ideas and suggestions, please bring there. Also, since your making + the trip anyways, bring along some phreaking codes and all and any types + of accounts. I would be greatly appreciated by: + + The Mickey Mouse Club. + 09/89 + + +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- + + + + + <==> <==> <= lCh M: li i [lGiUM] => <==> <==> + diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/ibib.txt b/textfiles.com/phreak/ibib.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..6a1e8cb3 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/ibib.txt @@ -0,0 +1,52 @@ + +Illinois Bell Information Bulletin +---------------------------------- +Friday, January 23 + +Expanded, repriced '976' announcements debut in March + + The Illinois Commerce Commission has approved Illinois Bell's request to +begin a one-year trial to expand and reprice the company's "976" public +announcement system, now called 976 TELEPROGRAMS service. + + Beginning March 2, six new one-minute telephone messages each by different +announcement producers will be introduced -- expanding the total number of +announcements to 24. + + At the same time, a new pricing plan for the system will allow all of the +producers, including the producer of the current series of announcements, to +set prices for their programs between 20 and 50 cents. The new pricing struc- +ture replaces message unit billing which was based on the distance and the +duration of the call. + + "A successful trial and regulatory approval could set off a wave of +improved announcement features that will revolutionize the 976 TELEPROGRAMS +service into the 1990s," said Judy Mandolini, Illinois Bell's public announce- +ment service product manager. + + "In the future, the expansion could allow businesses to announce sales or +school officials to advise parents of school closings," she said. + + In years to come, other new features might include: + + o As many as 1,000 dial-up messages that could be produced by up to 250 + information providers. + + o Announcements as long as 30 minutes, which would reshape the type of + informational and entertainment programming that information providers + produce. + + o Producers targeting their announcements to audiences in specific + geographical areas. + + The trial's purpose is test network features that ultimately will give +thousands of callers simultaneous access to hundreds of new messages. +Mandolini said Illinois Bell will begin a customer information campaign next +month to announce the changes. Customers will be sent letters and will have +their calls to the public announcements appear as shown charges on their +bills. + + Additionally, two toll-free 976 TELEPROGRAMS information lines, updated +monthly, will be set up to describe the available announcements, their prices +and the addresses and telephone numbers of the announcements' producers. + diff --git

Well the TM-16 would + still be a good deal, but in case you don't have the extra $170 bucks, I + will show you how you can do it for free. + + IMPROVISED DTMF DECODING + + Through the wonder of Automatic Number Identification (ANI) anyone can + decode DTMF tones easily and (more importantly) without cost. How it works + is this: Nowadays the phone line are run over-roughshod with Voice Mail + Boxes (VMBs). These VMBs, while worthwhile, and very fun to hack, can serve + another purpose. They can decode DTMF tones for us! Now VMBs are not all a + like. There are many VMB systems such as Audix, Aspen, and ROLM to name a + few. For the purpose of this file we will be focusing on Merridian VMBs. + The Merridian proves very useful for the purpose of improvised DTMF Decoding + because Merridians utilize ANI technology to provide verbal feedback to VMB + selections. What happens is this: when you call a Merridian it will ask you + which mailbox you wish to leave a message at. You then enter a box number. + The Merridian will indentify the box number you entered and tell you whether + or not the box is valid. By doing so the system has decoded the DTMF. Used + as just described constitutes intended use. For use as Improvised DTMF + Decoder follow the following (what?) + + 1. Record desired DTMF tones. These are the tones you recorded + while out 'tin canning'. + + 2. Call a Merridian VMB [1-800-946-8888] + + * NOTE * This is the number to a real-live investment firm + (IDS - Investment Diversified Services). What does this mean? + Well it means that if you call them during business hours you + will talk to a real-live person. Call after 6:00pm CST to get + the VMB. (Lighten up...no one phreaks during the day any how.) + + 3. Bypass the outgoing message by hitting 0 + 3 and then 1 + + * NOTE * Now I don't know if hitting those keys works for all + Merridians or not, but I do know its not that hard to stop an + outgoing message. For more info on Merridians contact Video + Vindicator at + + 4. You will hear a message that says: + + 'Express Messaging...to mailbox?' + + At this point play the recorded DTMF tones *LOUDLY* into the + handset. + + * NOTE * A real preak would have some sort of 'Box' to play the + tones directly into the phone line. + + 5. After tones have been played press the Pound (#) Key. You will + hear a message which says either: + + 'There is no box number at xxx, please try again.' + Or, + 'Mailbox xxx, please leave a message after the tone.' + + In either case the DTMF is decoded (yeah.) + + * NOTE * This method of improvised DTMF decoding can be + achieved on other systsems which utilize ANI such as AT&T + VoiceMessaging(c). I have chosen Merridian VMBs as ideal + because they allow tone string of up to 255 NUMBERS!!! + ^^^ + DTMF'IN + + To aid in your DTMF Decoding theres a couple of things you should probably + have. + + 1.

The ITSO feature provides a method to determine how effectively the +telefone system serves the customer.

All calls selected for observation must +originate from offices of equal or higher rank in the toll heirarchy and must +terminate in the area served by the toll office. The ESS switch randomly +selects calls for observation. Only one call can be monitored at any given +time for the ITSO feature. Equipment malfunctions, network overloads, or other +problems preventing call completion are detected. The calls are also directly +monitored for transmission quality. Each service observing position, located in +the SES (Service Evaluation System) bureau is capable of monitoring calls. + + The information required by the service observer is provided to the SES +bureau from the ESS switch via a dedicated data link and a voice monitoring +channel. A 1200 baud data link is used to transmit call progress data and +control signals between the ESS switch and the SES bureau. The dedicated +one-way voice channel is required for monitoring voice transmission. The +interface is capable of monitoring one call at a time. + + The SES has complete control over the SES/ESS interface. The observing +feature is a demand system where the demand originates with the SES. There +are 5 possible control messages that the SES can send to an ESS switch. +They are: + + 1. ENABLE- This message is accepted when the interface is in the idle state. + It directs the ESS switch to obtain the next observable call. + + 2. RELEASE- This message is used to release the present call and return the + interface to the idle state or to release the present test and return to + idle state. + + 3. TONE TEST- This message is used ony if the interface is in the idle + state. It causes a 1-milliwatt tone to be applied to the voice channel. + + 4. TERMINATION TEST- This messages is only accepted if the interface is in + the idle state. It causes a quiet termination to be applied to the voice + channel for 30 seconds (unless a RELEASE order is sent). + + 5. DATA ECHO TEST- This message is accepted only if the interface is in the + idle state. It sends a message to the ESS switch to verify the sanity of + the data channel. The ESS switch appends a unique 2-character header to + the received message and outputs the recieved message to the data + channel. + + There are 15 potential call progress messages that the ESS switch can +generate and send to the SES. They are: + + 1. SEIZURE- This message indicates that the ESS switch has found a candidate + call. If the SES does not recieve this signal within a period of time + after being enabled, a RELEASE message is transmitted be the SES. + + 2. RELEASE AKNOWLEDE- This message is transmitted whenever the ESS switch + decodes a RELEASE signal deo the SES. The interface returns to the idle + state and the SES is allowed to attempt to observe a new call. + + 3. TERMINATION- This message is Xmited when the interface returns to the + idle state due to an abnormal ending of the call observation in progress, + or when the tone or termination test times out. + + 4.

NO CIRCUIT AVAILABLE- This call progress message indicates that a no + circuit available is being applied to the calling party. + + 11. VACANT CODE ANNOUNCEMENT- This message indicates that a vacant code + announcement is being applied to the calling party. + + 12. RECORDER- This message indicates that a recorder announcement is being + applied to the calling party. + + 13. AUDIBLE RING- This message indicates that audible ringing is being + applied to the calling party. In the case of a locally terminating call, + the observer is not bridged onto the call until after answer and is + therefore unable to detect the actual audible ringing. + + 14. CALLED NUMBER DIGITS- This message contains the called number of digits. + + 15. DATA ECHO TEST- This contains the DATA ECHO TEST message. +{ + The 4 states of SES/ESS interface are as follows: + + o Idle- This is the wait state of the interface. It is the stae to + which the interface returns after tests and completing observations. + + o Active- This state is entered only when the ESS switch recieves an + ENABLE message frm the SES. Service observing is performed in this + state. This state is maintained for no moe than 3 minutes (2-wire + trunks) after seizure. + + o Tone Test- This can only be entered from the idle state upon receipt + of a tone test order.

The +books provides an excellent overview of most ciphering and coding techniques. +Strengths and weakness's of various techniques are given along with several +computer programs (most in BASIC) to make use of the techniques (the programs +have a few typos though.....). It's $7.95 plus $2.00 shipping. + + Last, but not least, a book that is amazing in that it was published by a +major publisher and was somehow not suppressed!!! The book is called "The +Puzzle Palace" by James Bamford, and published by Houghton Mifflin Company. It +deals with America's MOST secret agency. The National Security Agency. For you +NSA buffs, you will find a wealth of information. You will know your way around +NSA headquarters, (for the next time you visit, I guess), you will learn all +about "Carillon" and "Loadstone" (computer centers in the basement of NSA).

Next time you are talking overseas, say a few target words and tell +the guys down in SIGNIT CITY hello!!! + + TELEPHONES + + A word of WARNING: I have stated this before, but will repeat it to all +newcomers and forgetful old-timers alike. Recently TAP has printed info on +hacking with SPRINT, MCI, etc. This is good, in that TAP is the proper (only +except for GROUND ZERO) forum for free open discussion of such topics. But +Beware! It is absolute gospel FACT that calls to the local access ports of +these networks, drop a card (print a record in ESS) containing the calling +number. While these cards (records) are usually ignored, they could mean +trouble. The original purpose of this was because some phreaks were dialing +into these services and then whipping to another location, and dialing into Bell +ESS computers, extremely difficult for Bell to nail them because they could only +trace back to the local MCI or Sprint office. Thus, a two way "informal deal" +was made. If Bell had trouble, SPC or MCI would tell Bell what local access +number was used to dial the carrier. Bell could then go back, pull the record +and find out the phone number of the caller. The deal works the other way also: +If MCI or SPC detect a fraudulent call (customer complains he didn't call +Oshokosh, Wisconsin 57 times), they will first try to resolve it by checking +with the called number.

Its very name strikes fear and +apprehension into the hearts of most phreakers, and for a very good reason. +ESS (Electronic Switching System) knows the full story on every telephone +hooked into it. While it may be paranoid to say that all phreaking will come +to a screeching halt under ESS, it's certainly realistic to admit that any +phreak whose central office turns to ESS will have to ba a lot more careful. +Here's why. + + With electronic switching, every single digit dialed is recorded. This is +useful not only for nailing phreaks but for settling billing disputes. In the +past, there has been no easy way for the phone company to show you what numbers +you dialed locally. If you protested long enough and loud enough, they might +have put a pen register on your line to record everything and prove it to you. +Under ESS, the actual printout (which will be dug out of a vault somewhere if +needed) shows every last digit dialed. Every 800 call, every call to directory +assistance, repair service, the operator, every rendition of the 1812 Overture, +everything! Here is an example of a typical printout, which shows time of +connect, length of connect, and number called. + +DATE TIME LENGTH UNITS NUMBER + +0603 1518 3 1 456-7890 +0603 1525 5 3 345-6789 +0603 1602 1 0 0000-411 +0603 1603 1 0 800-555-1212 +0603 1603 10 2.35* 212-345-6789 +0603 1624 1 0 0000-000 (TSPS) + + A Thousand calls to "800" will show up as just that--a thousand calls to +"800"! Every touch tone or pulse is kept track of and for most phreaks, this +in itself won't be very pretty. + + Somewhere in the hallowed halls of 195 Broadway, a Traffic Engineer did an +exhaustive study of all 800 calls over the past few years, and reached the +following conclusions: (1) Legitimate calls to 800 numbers last an average of +3 minutes or less. Of the illegal (i.e phreakers) calls made via 800 lines, +more than 80% lasted 5 minutes or longer; (2) The average residential telephone +subscriber makes five such calls to an 800 number per month. Whenever +phreakers are being watched, that number was significantly higher. As a result +of this study, one feature of ESS is a daily log called the "800 Exceptional +Calling Report." + + Under ESS, one simply does not place a 2600 hertz tone on the line, unless of +course, they want a telco security representative and a policeman at their door +within an hour! The new generics of ESS (the #5) now in production, with an +operating prototype in Geneva, Illinois, allow the system to silently detect +all "foreign" tones not available on the customer's phone. You have exactly +twelve buttons on your touch-tone (R) phone. ESS knows what they are, and you +had best not sound any other tones on the line, since the new #5 is programmed +to silently notify a human being in the central office, while continuing with +your call as though nothing were wrong! Someone will just punch a few keys on +their terminal, and the whole sordid story will be right in front of them, and +printed out for action by the security representatives as needed. + + Tracing of calls for whatever reason (abusive calls, fraud calls, etc.) is +done by merely asking the computer right from a terminal in the security +department. With ESS, everqthing is right up front, nothing hidden or +concealed in electromechanical frames, etc. It's merely a software program! +And a program designed for ease in operation by the phone company. Call +tracing has become very sophisticated and immediate. There's no more running +in the frames and looking for long periods of time. ROM chips in computers +work fast, and that is what ESS is all about. + + Phone phreaks are not the only reason for ESS, but it was one very important +one. The first and foremost reason for ESS is to provide the phone company +with better control on billing and equipment records, faster handling of calls +(i.e. less equipment tied up in the office at any one time), and to help +agencies such as the FBI keep better account of who was calling who from where, +etc. When the FBI finds out that someone whose calls they want to trace is on +a ESS exchange, they are thrilled because it's so much easier for them then. + + The United States won't be 100% ESS until sometime in the mid 1990's. But in +real practice, all phone offices in almost every city are getting some of the +most basic modifications brought about by ESS. "911" service is an ESS +function. So is ANI (Automatic Number Identification) on long distance calls. +"Dial tone first" pay phones are also an ESS function. None of these things +were available prior to ESS. The amount of pure fraud calling via bogus credit +card, third number billing, etc. on Bell's lines led to the decision to rapidly +install the ANI, for example, even if the rest of the ESS was several years +away in some cases. + + Depending on how you choose to look at the whole concept of ESS, it can be +either one of the most advantageous innovations of all time or one of the +scariest. The system is good for consumers in that it can take a lot of +activity and do lots of things that older systems could never do. Features +such as direct dialing overseas, call forwarding (both of which open up new +worlds of phreaking which we'll explore in later issues), and call holding are +steps forward, without question. But at the same time, what do all of the +nasty implications mentioned further back mean to the average person on the +sidewalk? The system is perfectly capable of monitoring anyone, not just phone +phreaks! What would happen if the nice friendly government we have somehow got +overthrown and a mean nasty one took its place?

All U.S. postage +stamps have an invisible ink coding that flouresces in ultraviolet light. +Partly this is to detere counterfeiting of stamps. Mostly, it is to speed up +sorting. Canceling machines shine an ultraviolet beam on letters and check for +a glow. Calcium silicate (which glows orange-red) and zinc orthosilicate +(which glows yellow-green) are used. They are printed over the entire surface +of stamps or in a geometric pattern. + + Personal letters to the U.S. President have a secret numerical code. The +president often gets 10,000 letters a day. Virtually all must be opened, read, +and answered by the White House mail staff. So that letters from friends get +to the president and family unopened, all close friends are given a sequence of +numbers to write on the outside of the envelope. The code changes with each +president. Ronald Reagan's code was described as a number with a special +meaning to Reagan and his wife. Jimmy Carter used an old phone number of +Rosalynn's. + +--------- +WAX SEALS +--------- + + Wax seals are not a guarantee against unauthorized opening of a letter. +According to the CIA Flaps and Seals Manual, edited by John M. Harrison +(Boulder, Colo.: Paladin Press, 1975), there is a way to remove and replace +seals. + + First the opener takes a plaster-of-paris cast of the seal. This is set +aside to harden. The wax is gently heated with an infrared lamp. When soft, +it is rolled into a ball and set aside. The flap of the envelope is steamed +open, and the letter is taken outand photocopied. + + After the envelope's contents and replaced and the flap resealed, the same +wax is used to re-create the seal. It is heated till pliable and pressed back +into shape with the plaster-of-paris mold. + + One type of seal is secure, even according to CIA Flaps And Seals Manual: +one made of two or more colors of wax melted together. The colors inevitably +come out different on the second, surreptitious pressing. But a color Polaroid +of the seal must be sent under seperate cover so that the letter's recipient +can compare it wiht the seal on the message letter. + + None of the common seals are reliable against unauthorized opening, assuming +that knowledgeable letter-openers may want to open your mail. Scoth tape +across the flap of an envelpoe come of cleany with carbon tetrachloride +(applied with a brush or a hypodermic needle). If you suspect that someone is +opening your mail, the manual suggests sending yourself a letter containing a +sheet of carbon or wax paper. The heat and mechanical treatment of the letter +opening will smudge the carbon and melt the wax. Otherwise, you have to +examine letters carefully to detect prior opening. A torn flap, smudging of +the flap glue, flattened ridges in the flap, or concave (from the back) curling +due to steaming are evidence of opening. + + A more sophisticated test requires steaming part of the envelope near the +flap for fifteen seconds. Then place the envelope under an ultraviolet lamp. +If there is a difference in flourescence between the steamed and the unsteamed +part of the envelope, then the envelope paper is suitable for the test. If so, +examine the unsteamed part of the flap under the ultraviolet lamp. If it shows +a different flourescence than the other unsteamed parts of the envelope, it +indicates that the flap may have been previously steamed. + + The ultraviolet lamp is also useful in detecting invisible writing. An +effective ultraviolet ink need not flouresce brightly, as the silicate stamps +inks do. Any substance that changes the flourescence of paper in ultraviolet +light yet is invisible in ordinary light will work. Prisoners have used human +urine as an invisible ink (not hard to get, ehh?). Salt water, vinegar, milk, +fruit juices, saliva, and water solutions of soap or drugs also work, with +varying degrees of legibility. + + +--------------------------- +HOW TO MAIL WITHOUT A STAMP +--------------------------- + + Postal chiselers used to mail letters unstamped in the knowledge that they +would be delievered anyway--postage due to the recipient. It took a niggardly +person to mail personal letters this way, but many people did it on bill +payments. So the post office changed its policy. It stopped delivering +letters without stamps. A letter with a stamp--even a one-cent stamp--is +delivered (postage due if need be). A letter with no stamp is returned to the +sender. + + Naturally, this had just opened up a new way of cheating. Letters can now be +maileed for free by switching the positions of the delivery address and the +return address. If there is no stamp on the envelope, it will be "returned"-- +that is, delivered to the address in the upper left corner--which is where the +sender wanted it to go in the first place. Unlike under the old system, the +letter is not postage-due. At most the recipient gets a stamped purple +reminder that "the post office does not deliver mail without postage." + + At least one large company seems to have adapted this principle to its +billing. Citibank bases its MasterCard operations in Sioux Falls, South +Dakota. The bill payment envelopes have the Citibank Sioux Falls address in +both the delivery address and the return address positions. (Most bill payment +envelopes have three lines for the customer to write in his return address.) +Therefore, regardless of whether the customer puts a stamp on the envelope, it +is delivered to Citibank. (The return-address gimmick works even when the +return address is in a different state from the mailing point.) + + Who is cheating whom? If the customer puts the correct postage on the +envelope, it is delivered to Sioux Falls at customer expense. No one is +slighted. If, on the other hand, the customer intentionally omits the stamp, +the payment is delivered at the post office expense. Then the customer has +cheated the post office. The post office also loses out if the customer +honestly forgets to put a stamp on the envelope. But the blame ought to be +shared with the peculiar design of Citibank's envelope. + + Citibank's motive is plain: If payment envelopes are returned to forgetful +customers, it delays payment. +  \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/info4.hac b/textfiles.com/phreak/info4.hac new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..83ace119b25db39334faea5c32423762ba504d46 GIT binary patch literal 6272 zcmc(jTXPyo5{37f2>!r4r8N(}1d=6LmNjg|&LW8!v(_yDhgOeGQ$UZJE~cwnn18=t zX442u-i>*%V>J$s4Bb^(ndh85S;LtNPUbFzXzGG2UG5}~7Dbu6u}pG5m!V5t<_ftv z+r26CP$q?3b%(p%f1iEqT>aja)6>D;-d?lOZ0vrgpJwASOyy^h>XBfPd;_6VeVA(x-~{mva9iwu2RIu{rAd*8L?;`;j2KrVWp zy3&!4owHBfzQ)^o`QXH5u`jcNbB`sG*yTl(WD=61jEcl(QY@3$2_F?RCyOW)X#bCy4Yr0V$`v-Dx(&3S2W5~fLNzTcOgp(GtB*-jU zEI`G$CCiz24@9+$f@r#U*jtz`8_UQ|BR*R#*tgjT`XC4PqY%3+DH2DDhCWNCGqO6f zK)+gB7hAYIuZnq*DdrP~9tN|AJswzXX zk%DkiLEc%ficqUed2Y^bB#PrgB2GZX!_w#DJsIc=F7xGdrl%&_9_7|}G)mi>aOTn2 z?UoB$pd~ZNk~_$hL6M$N4jD!9J+FhFp4?}CX>moQd7cFDG}id)lkh2jdNTIeOR_&p zvU?3sgL}JJ+HwRxOXhFEMN39yA#51pD2K{cDz*uJ?tJE&jhIr*qkAWzj1{XjE`7E~ zEOC^kP=L_&JWmmpmGcorE_}0*yM@m!now=Yi@a~?_32nhwUHwO26`CXcI5O7r0+}Y z7QD+c@hr-wiY8-~<+w$aE$$ z5~9Hypo{ra8a}0VCvH(Ha^|1Gc{5n84SCf zi{91mwp{N#7^H7*tN)ilH#GdtVU6m3WP9^6?m?cq8k zm~+NnC_&De)->#)X2Twfh@D*1wPI}rcC;2fVBaD=JmQy8RH_D^^}DwgIxRCv6_DAB z7cYJY?~V_j^6ucU{T}KaZg@AmzPgj!&iQ$F-RzZkPsykT;8p+iR~)P*)dV=1)Gbkd zKHi7!NQ~A`bE2&kA(K}s_MqO>bWKI75T{WxS3%0hTH=vQ6YwvuD`BK{(I*4>+Bhe; zU80dD!(iC}pyHnImB#i7f_3J z(-{nIulwgx8O(u+=IuZ9z!jhWdey!z8rrMN09yHW;aZ31n`d{5f)=mr~0SM--%^y4b&0odje?erO zLyYNP$K`WWJ}&bdo9k>2)g!5^Q2yb1)D`3jb{%6ts@GVSc>=Ig_2rj78%Ha?9D08b zrBn{dP9_KY`czq@pmEGJabV&muyZ-DHBN zmxNA6pVES9k}uAI_K)D!yDcr;aO=2z@NT1p&$;y|ga%Kg7Hz68y{lpOO1-`@OM$D+ z(il-SDKyPoTqPU~B}_*W*Zrfm9oxfUOUDlN(>i-#3(=b>r4k=0A2MeHf{$YxDyvpl z;nsTMj`s1T!W~bu3N*YOwfjt9V^#$JxW_oE+=}f|r=+CUquGG5cF&| zu(4|ki!4TT)}&ae5<-ZFgk|ePU=7gkGD~rfaEm9PXPHvi%*HW2`TE%{Sn8VTGFk-* zMPB0P@!FgesL}1qxi<7@$`}bK9}>^_tW&^)PmA#PX2bFpe5~$9XDZKoQ66J#F-vlz zgHFz5CDBAT2l%lEWV+-@Scv1 z3r}CMXPb=~qXydzDr=;ZkCLGm0>i5s(nx5Fl!weySArb75iqZW>c`>y=o!wBX&~+W z$DaSM&SiHXSNQ3Vn=Z0F>-Wwd8_3`ak9PJE18n2|WYa!nk?8nnCnc|nB~LB2;oqD| zea(?z2er4>+z%~sl+k6u93G(-Vr$oYGk;t}bNTFTwGAVMu?iCqts1XB*!ZpXtFC62Ga*dglEWsgcDP-aUVyRQWEP}oAd9EsJO9Y30D2?l;W+RKGKn=d; zk0T=V)xAwME@?TNjk=&U>qk!Ygo}zQx*y|TKOBDp%iLZaKF*D&*QeaKbi3ypBtLVs z-*T_|nHtp=e;+F|m@3r%)ut6*Z{Pml29Z~V8yGS`gD(4Q1MD^bn+-l8-F&T=Tmj|% zDp8NuV!DNHsY0WLt%^qt0wVs0zgO?7*TCH|kI!@NJDl~m;&g$d&qKH7#vra}p5h~C3 zV`1WSDE*J<;oJ8JRS!RIAD*=LPpDvZkMJB1k3GD)S@>UYFd%dS-bmAy6y_jtJjOL0 zq$vR=QLm3Q{YkLv8D*xbJDtoc2l;p1hPTROkeYLI#QQqS+l7=>CtKCy5btKwU`<1> zMDeSbtg*bZp8fT_+T!YTJ*>90} zqZ~6jv8p+DNMnw|0)dX7S1PX;m@4VmH@(DKq~&y~so~}gxK~|}F{{=ZJ$A+wqwbHn vuIxx=c4n<_) And if you enjoyed this Text-file, Call: + \_______[]_____ The Works "914's Text-file BBS" at (914)/238-8195 + _\ 300/1200 N,8,1 1200 baud only from 6:00pm to 12:00mid + ___________ \>\ 10 Megabytes on-line Anti-RBBS and Networks + / > \ SysOps: Jason Scott & Terror Ferret +/ ======= (900) Text-files on-line! +----------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The following names compose a monument to last forever in the electronic +highway: Patrizia Bravi Alessandra Bravi Glenda Frank Marcelle Dumont + Donna Reznik Valentina Bravi Britt Warner Jennifer Gruen +--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=-- + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/intlda.phk b/textfiles.com/phreak/intlda.phk new file mode 100644 index 00000000..bc7163bc --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/intlda.phk @@ -0,0 +1,93 @@ +From: "John R.

Other phone service thieves + used so-called "black boxes" that emit a tone to allow access to + long-distance lines. + + But individual calling-card fraud is being taken over rapidly by another + scheme - one that victimizes bussiness telephone systmes called private + branch exchanges or PBXs. + + "Abusers are now going after the more vulnerable PBXs and are having + a field day." said Rami Abuhamdeh, whose fraud-control association is + financed by telephone companies and law enforcement agencies. + + PBXs schemes focus on a feature on the phone system that allows + company employees to dial into the home office - usally on 1-800 or + WATS line - from outside. Then, after punching in a personal + identification number, they get a second dial tone and can make calls + as if they were sitting at their desk. + + Calls made using this feature, called reorigination, allow the company + to save the additional charges that long-distance carriers assess for + calling-card use. + + To get the three- to four didit security codes, computer hackers use + programs on thier own personal computers. Equipped with a telephone + modem the hackers can automatically dial numbers sequentially until they + hit upon the right combination to access an outgoing line. + + A hacker can even start the program before he goes to bed and by the + time he wakes up in the morning, he'll have the cde number, said Bob Fox + of United Telecom. + + Abuhamdeh said that thieves are focusing on PBXs in part because larger + long-distance companies have increased their security against calling-card + fraud. + + Access codes also have been sold by disgruntled employees at some + companies. Fox said calling-card fraud at United Telecom's US Sprint + is down to insignificant numbers. But for businesses victimized by + PBX fraud, losses can be staggering. + + Fox said $30,000 to $40,000 in extra charges is not unusual. Among + the most innovative attempts at eliminating remote-access fraud is a + device deleloped by US Sprint that can recognize the precise voice + pattern of a legitimate customer. + + The customer, after registering his voice pattern with the long-distance + carrier, simply says his identification number into his phone and the voice + recognition device verifies the user's identity. + + "It applies to both long-distance companies and PBX users. The + technology is at point right now where it's changing every day and becoming + better," Abuhamdeh said. + + Companies can take immediate steps to fight against PBX fraud by + increasing remote-access code numbers to as many digits as the system allows + and not using numbers in sequential order, Fox said. + + Fox also recommends that companies turn off the reorigination feature + of a PBX during hours when the system is not normally used and review + remote-access records as frequently as possible. + + + + + CRIME CALLS + + The different kinds of telephone fraud and estimated ammual losses in + millions of dollars: + + Institutional Fraud : $150 30% + Subscription Fraud : $50 10% + Electronic Long-Distance Fraud : $75 15% + Flat-rate Multilevel Marketing Schemes: $125 25% + Call sell Schemes : $100 20% + + Institutional Fraud: Fraud originating at colleges, military bases and + prisions. + + Subscription Fraud: Phone users who don't pay accounts, use fictitous names, + etc. + + Electronic Long-Distance Fraud: Hackers with personal computers use modems + to connect to other computers by illegally using long-distance lines. + + Flat-Rate Multilevel Marketing Schemes: One person sells flat-rate + long-distance service to some of his friends; they in turn sell it to thier + friends, etc. (Not all such operations are illegal.) + + Call sell Schemes: Someone operating out of a pay phone or residence sells + long-distance usage, using unauthorized billing numbers to pay for the + calls. + + + -SOURCE OF INFORMATION: Communucations Fraud Control Association, The + Associated Press. + + + -Check Out iXP's Infoletter #1, And Infoletter #2 (When Available) + + IPX Vmb + 305-787-7900 + Box : 407853 + + GrIm Reaper + -iPX Staff + + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/isdn.acr b/textfiles.com/phreak/isdn.acr new file mode 100644 index 00000000..085877d8 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/isdn.acr @@ -0,0 +1,1016 @@ +From telecom@eecs.nwu.edu Sun Jan 27 14:40:06 1991 +Received: from hub.eecs.nwu.edu by gaak.LCS.MIT.EDU via TCP with SMTP + id AA27988; Sun, 27 Jan 91 14:39:59 EST +Resent-Message-Id: <9101271939.AA27988@gaak.LCS.MIT.EDU> +Received: from labrea.Stanford.EDU by delta.eecs.nwu.edu id aa18840; + 27 Jan 91 6:29 CST +Received: by labrea.stanford.edu; Sun, 27 Jan 91 04:17:17 PST +Date: Sun, 27 Jan 91 04:17:17 PST +From: cdp!anlyyao@labrea.stanford.edu +Message-Id: <9101271217.AA10499@labrea.stanford.edu> +To: telecom@eecs.nwu.edu +Subject: comp.dcom.tele: Abbrevations for ISDN & Telecom +Resent-Date: Sun, 27 Jan 91 13:41:16 CST +Resent-From: telecom@eecs.nwu.edu +Resent-To: ptownson@gaak.LCS.MIT.EDU +Status: R + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + Abbrevations for ISDN and Data Communications + 1991/01/28, Goetz Kluge Seoul + cdp!anlyyao@labrea.stanford.edu +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +This list has been compiled during my work for a German semiconductor maker +at its Seoul branch.

ISDN.TXT +Written By : Silent Death + + You can take your modem and toss it in the garbage. It's obsolete, slow +and incapable of keeping up with the race for faster and faster data rates. +Just when you thought it was safe to buy a new high-speed modem someone had to +come along and leapfrog modem technology itself. + + Now there's a purely digital phone system just around the corner that may +change telephone communications forever. It's called an Integrated Systems +Digital Network (ISDN) and it differs from our current telephone system in one +major way - it's digital instead of analog. + + Telephones were created to allow people to talk to each other. When you +talk into a phone, your voice vibrates the element inside a microphone. This +microphone creates a change in voltage which is fed through wires to another +telephone. This same voltage fluctuation goes into an amplifier which then +vibrates a speaker, producing sound. This analog signal is fine for voice +communication but not for computer data communication. + + Computers use digital information, just ONs and OFFs, instead of voltage +fluctuations, to convey information. ONs and OFFs just don't work very well +over the phone, which is why we use a modem to convert digital information +into sound before it is sent over the phone. + + But data converted to analog form is prone to errors caused by noise and +other technical problems. With more and more information now in digital form, +phone companies all over the world decided that making a digital phone network +(ISDN) would be a good idea. Instead of converting fax and computer data into +sound, it can be sent directly out as a digital signal, and voice +communication can then be digitized (converted into digital information) and +sent over the very same lines. The result is higher quality, fewer errors and +a faster data transfer rate than we have with our current phone system. + + Apple Canada recently had ISDN service installed and is dreaming up +numerous applications for this new technology. + + "Since everything is digital, data compression systems can be used to make +new things possible," says Andrew Scoular, networking product manager at Apple +Canada. "ISDN will make the home office more useful and practical. Imagine +calling up a co-worker and opening up a window containing a live video image +of that person on the screen of your Mac. Then you can link both of your +computers together, allowing both of you to see the rest of the windows on +your screen". + + "Anything you're doing in your word processor, database or anything else +can be easily conveyed to the other person. If you have any hard copy to +present, you can just hold it up to the camera and maybe open another window +so you can see yourself and make sure the other person can see clearly." + + ISDN will have a major impact on virtual reality, says Scoular. + + "The virtual reality applications will be amazing. Imagine being linked to +a series of cameras in a London art gallery and being able to browse through +the pieces of art and being able to talk with other people there and make bids, +all from your desk." + + According to Scoular, Apple was a natural choice to work on the +technology. + + "Apple was chosen to be part of the testing because Bell wanted a +non-phone company to work with them. And the Mac is an ideal platform for ISDN +developments because of its graphical environment. More and more graphical +information is being integrated with computer technology. + + ISDN is beginning to be installed in places like Apple Canada but it won't +be until 1993 that most consumers will be able to take advantage of the +technology in their homes and businesses. + + With ISDN there will be no modems. Instead we'll all have ISDN interface +cards which go inside your computer and hook up to your ISDN wall jack. The +ISDN card will have a telephone jack, allowing any regular telephone to be +plugged into the system. + + If you're talking to a modem user who's still on the older system you'll +be able to emulate, say, a V.32 or an HST completely through software. You'll +be limited to the baud rate of the modem at the other end, just as you are now +when you call someone who has a slower modem. + + Since everything is purely digital there's very little chance of line +noise, especially since more and more fibreoptic cables are being used. For +modem users, less time will be spent transferring files and faxes and more +time will be spent on productive activities. Businesses and home office +workers will benefit with ISDN because they'll have a faster and more powerful +link to other computers and services. + + "With more people working on home offices, companies can reduce costs by +renting smaller offices," says Scoular. "Instead of having dozens of desks +they could set up only a handful of general-purpose workstations for people +who need to come into the office on occasion." + + The services comes in two forms - Basic Rate Access (BRA) and Primary Rate +Access (PRA). BRA will contain two 64-Kilobit per second lines (That's 64,000 +bps) and one 16k bps line. The 64k bps lines can be used for voice or data +communications, and the two lines can be combined, creating a speed of 128k +bps. The 16k bps lines is used as a control line, allowing in-house phone line +switching as well as a lower-speed data line. + + PRA contains 23k to 64k bps lines and one 16k bps line and is designed for +larger business installations. The lines could be combined for a total speed +of 1.48 million bps.

They are ***Transmission*** +and ***Switching***. Transmission will be covered in the first few +issues. Switching will be briefly defined but basicly dealt with later. + +Transmission is not a gear box as far as this series is concerned. It is +the Transport of an electrical or accoustic energy (message) from one point +to another. In its simplest applications it is copper wire. Due to the +basic concept of Ohms Law & attenuation the range of wire alone is somewhat +limited. The only thing I know of that has a wider bandwidth for direct +connection is optical cable. The need to send a signal greater than it was +possible useing wire alone caused the evolution of several generations of +increasingly sophisticated transmission systems. The greed asociated with +money added motivation to continue to develop systems that would increase +the throughput of existing transmission components thereby cutting costs, +and since our utility bills never go down if a Telco (Telphone Company) +can cut operating cots their profit just goes up. + +By far one of the most important concepts that will serve as a foundation +of enlightenment in this series is that of Digital Transmission with the +MOST PREVAILING FORMAT being **** T1 ***** sometimes referred to as DS1. + +A T1 circuit is basicly a pipe that goes from one location to another to +pass telephone calls, and or Private line Data Services Back and forth. +In common applications it contains 24 telephone lines in a digital format. +The format is serial synchronous in nature with a line rate of 1,544,000 +bits per second. Hauling ass compared to 14,400 huh? + +T1 ckts are used mostly to tie a Telephone Company Switch in one location +to a switch in another location. Their use is also on the rise for Private +Point to Point Communication in virtually endless possible applications. +Most of the larger Telcos and LD Carriers now offer Line Services to Larger +Commercial Customer in Metro areas in a T1 lie format. + +Many great enhancements with few drawbacks came with the introduction of T1 +technology in the early 70s. Line noise has all but disappeared in most +connections useing the larger carriers. If we time warped 2 hst modems +back to 1955 we would be lucky to get a 2400 baud connect. It alo brought +about the ability to call coast to coast without spending a fortune. They +dont require as much maintenance as analog networks so zillions of jobs +went away through the years. + +One of the requested topics has been that of wire taps. T1 has made this +a lot easier to implement and nearly impossible to detect by the tapped +party. In nearly 90% of the USA a telephone signal is analog for a short +distance on each end of the connection, From the serveing Telco to the +telephone set or modem. A digital signal is the easiest to monitor with +no affect on the analog lines. A digital test set with an impedance of +1000 ohms on the input will not even cause a click when the test cord is +inserted in the jack. most digital switches provide for Maintenance +monitoring of analog lines by electronicly bridgeing a D to A convertor +to the line just after it is converted to digital from analog in the +transmit direction and just before it is converted from digital to analog +in the receive direction. Bottom line is that anyone who can gain the +cooperation of the telephone company with or without a court order can +eavesdrop without haveing any affect at all on the circuit that goes out +to the telephone set. This total circuit isolation makes it impossible +to detect this kind of tap. + +There are many So Called Tap detectors on the market. They function on +the premise of detecting abnormal voltage or current levels associated +with the line inbetween the serving telephone company and the users phones. +They are incapable of detecting any thing beyond the first line transformer. + +In effect even without telco help it is very easy to insert a device any +where in the line betwwen the phone & the telco that can isolate the phone +side of the circuit and alow monitoring equipment to be attatched with no +side affects to your line. Such devices can even be field calibrated so +that all voltage and attenuation characteristics that were present prior to +its installation are repeated torwards the phone. They can be adjusted to +within a millivolt for the DC characteristics an .05 db for the analog +characteristics. + +At the risk of gossiping about the many law enforcement agencies that might +try to tap a line I have an opinion or two. + +1. If the Feds want to listen they probably will, you cant tell, and if +they are that interested you are probably toast any way, they are just +trying to find out who your associates are by listening. + +2. Many States, Counties, Large Cities & even a few Fed agencies can contract +with individuals who have the equipment needed to do this kind of dirty work. + +3. Most small town or county agencies would be likely to try it with an +analog tap that a third grader could find with a multimeter. 20 bucks & +a trip to Radio Shack would probably do the trick on building a gizmo that +would make a light go on if someone tried a crude tap. + + + + + + + + +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- +Downloaded From P-80 Systems 304-744-2253 diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/itapac.txt b/textfiles.com/phreak/itapac.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..50b84371 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/itapac.txt @@ -0,0 +1,721 @@ +_______________________________________________________________________________ + + + ItaPac - A Brief Introduction + + A Telecom Computer Security Bulletin File +_______________________________________________________________________________ + + + +Prologue +-------- +This text will represent a very complete tutorial about a packet switching +network used in Italy: ItaPac. The purpose of this file is to supply very +interesting information to have secure use and VERY LONG ItaPac password +lifetime. It includes also a brief summary of what (shit) ItaPac is, techincal +terms, various news. + + +What's ItaPac +------------- +ItaPac is the Italian Packet Switched Network. The "packet" protocol is called +as it is because the data which travels through the network is assembled in +255 char groups (packets), with an address physically in the net towards which +data is sent at fixed time intervals. Packets can thus contain different +source data, and in this way they divide the cost of transmission and optimize +net traffic. All of which runs transparent to the users, which doesn't remark +of commutation, and works in an apparent "real time". + +In order to support all available protocols, the Packet Switch needs gestional +software. As for definition, all terminals able to support the switching are +called PADs (packet assembly-disassembly) and work following the CCITT X.25 +recommendations. + +A PAD is very expensive to run. It is not the software or hardware that is so +expensive, but rather the continuous maintenance and supervision required to +keep the system running. Normally, most of the users prefer have the switching +handled by an ACP Server which makes his call and transforms the packet proto- +col from X.25 to an X.28 asycronous, that is compatable with the normal modems +that we use. + +The user becomes like a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment), he connects to an ACP +(Adapter/Concentretor of Packets) and can operate in trasparency without +any kind of problems. + +The user can login to a pad in either of two ways: + +1) DIRECTLY: by dedicated wire installed by Italcable. The cost is higher, + but that guarantees a much higher transmission quality. + +2) SWITCHED: by phone (switched line, not to be confused with ACP, even if + there are similarities); the cost is much lower, but the transmission + quality is unacceptable at times. + +The direct X.28 user has his own network user address (NUA). Some users have +only one NUA while others have a multiplexed system. This system generally +consists of one NUA and a variable number of subaddresses. The actual number +of subaddresses depends on the number of doors he has into his pad. + +The switched user (poor) can only call others DTE, but he cannot receive calls, +because he doesn't a network user address. In effect the only address where he +can answer is that of the PAD on which he is logged on. Thus the DTE call from +a phone number (of home, office, etc), if he can receive calls from another +DTE, means that the hardware is able to scan the call, and we will all be in +the shit (sorry for the hard expression). + +Taking apart the quality in trasmission, there is no difference between the two +X.28 types: both need a modem. The first, connected to a standard phone line, +and the second to dedicated one. + +For the rest of this file we will talk about the X.28 terminals of the second +type: the dedicated ItaPac PADs. + +The ACP at their time, are connected to NCP (Nodes of Commutation of Packets) +with transit functions or access for DTE X.25 and of local commutation. The +NCP are connected between them at high speed (64k/second), and ACP are conn- +ected to NCP at 9600 bit/second. + + ___________________________________________________________________________ +| | | | | | +| User Class | Xmit Methods | Speeds | Protocols | Access Methods | +|______________|________________|__________|_____________|__________________| +| | | | | | +| Char by Char | Start/Stop | 300/1200 | X28 | Via Phone or | +| Terminal | Full/Half Dup. | baud | | Direct | +|______________|________________|__________|_____________|__________________| +| | | | | | +| Packet | HDLC | 2400 and | X25 | Direct | +| Terminals | Full Duplex | 9600 bps | | Only | +|______________|________________|__________|_____________|__________________| + + +The CCITT standard makes it possible to interface ItaPac with other networks +around the world. In effect, the NCPs are connected as big telephonic centers. +Anyway, it seems that all European traffic to the USA and other countries, such +as Australia, Argentina, Japan, etc, will transmit by the centers that are in +Paris, France. Maybe from Paris data is sent via satellite, but I don't know. + + +NUIs, NUAs, and DNICs +--------------------- +Well, when you connect to one of ItaPac's entry points (of which there are 41 +ACP sites on Italian terrain at 300/200 baud and full duplex (V21, V22)), +ItaPac responds: + + ACP:** I T A P A C ** GENOVA 32 PORTA: 4 + +The above is an example of the herald for an entry node in Genoa. In the +example you can note that the number "32:" is really the node (the phone number +you have called). Larger cities generally have more than one node. The PORTA +is the port to the node (the physical entry point to the node). "PORTA: 4" +means that you are connected to the fourth port of this particular Genoa +ItaPac node. +You can also see from the above example that there are 3 other people connected +to the same node as you. Every ItaPac node can support at greatest a finite +number of ports. If all the ports of a node are in use then the PAD will +reject all new DTE calls. + +Frequently most (or all) of the ports until Friday night will not answer at +all. Until one logs you off you cannot enter a port that is in use. Very +often the first 2 or 3 ports will be busy from an internal console, or these +will be reserved as an "emergency lane" for internal-use-only. A good way to +use a free door is to send to people that are probably the callers an Urgent +Call Income (UCI; in the States it is known as a BVC -- Busy Verification +Signal -- AKA emergency interrupt). The you can redial the node. This time +ItaPac will answer. The message "Beware, please, Urgent Urban Call Incoming" +will appear on the screen. This will blow our friend from the port, thus +freeing it for our use. Eh eh. Now for some definitions. + +1) NUI +2) NUA +3) CUG (optional) + +NUI - Network User Identification: Nothing other than an ItaPac password. +Every time you call an NUA, ItaPac will charge the account of owner of the +password. Often NUIs are valid only for certain nodes. That is if the +contract signed with Italcable will allow a 300 baud at Genova on 2697, this +NUI will not work on the 2564 node. SYNTAX: the NUI must be preceded by +UPPERCASE "N" and finished by a minus "-". The NUI MUST BE TYPED IN UPPERCASE. +Between "N" and "-" the NUI will not be displayed (echoed). You will obtain +only "N-" on display. + +NUA-Network User Address: the physical address of a remote DTE. Similar to a +phone number, you understand. Must be typed without blank inside and soon +after the NUI (or a timeout will occur and ItaPac will hang up on you). + +CUG - Close User Group: this is basically a high-security NUI. CUG stands for +Close User Group. CUG users have access to optional parameters that are used +for user recognition (and you know what that means). Having a CUG account is +very handy. CUG users have the ability to inibit hackers (after all, they are +there for network security, right?). There are less CUG users in Italy than +the USA and are generally rare (but I know of one). A typical example would +be the US Tymnet NUAs (03106nnnnnn). The PAS response will be ACP:CLR NA or +Call Not Accepted and shut down. Makes hacking on a CUG account a good way to +waste your time. + +Now we will take a closer look at an ItaPac NUAs structure (the numbers are +examples only): + + DCC NC + | __| + / \| + 12345678901234 + \_ / + | + DNIC + +DNIC = Data Network Identification Code; it contains the address of the country +to be called and the code for the network chosen. It is then divided into two +parts: DCC and NC. + +DCC is the Data Country Code; a three digit number that is the phone prefix. +Every country has different one. + +NC is the Network Code; a country can have more than one data network. In +Italy there is ONLY packet switched network, the code is "2" and it is Dardo. + +Follow with: the prefix of the called city, the DTE number, an eventual suffix +that is the "phone particular" (max 4 digit). + +Note: The DCC is used only to call outside. DCC must be preceded by a zero. +ItaPac, in this case, is different from other countries. + +Let's show a pratical example: The Cilea of Milan (Segrate). + +The NUA is: 2220208 + |||______ local address of DTE + ||_______ 2 (02) = Milano + |________ NC: 2 = ItaPac + +Now, another example: the Altos Unix (altger) in Munich, West Germany (note: +a favorite hangout of Xtension). + +The NUA is: 026245890040004 + |\ /|\_ _/| + | | | | |____ 40004: network address + | | | |_______ 5 8900: munich prefix + | | |__________ 4: DATEX-P (germany ItaPac) + | |____________ 262: DCC West Germany + |______________ foreign call + +The NUA's structure isn't so all the time. NUAs can exist that don't appear to +have countries or cities. This because the address is sent to an indicated ACP +that will provide the rerouting of the call. If the NCP has been instructed to +consider a certain address like another, the DTE can have a Rome NUA and be +located in Genoa. As call with the account to called... + +It's very important to be able to read an NUA. Many times you can find systems +like VAXs and UNIXs and some refer to not-interactive logins; NUAs are not +often completed. An NUA without a DNIC is like a phone number without an area +code: its meaning is nothing. Usually the system makes references to a subject +network, or it supplies other info in a less clear fashion. At this need I +will supply a very short list of world wide DNICs I've found (notice that they +are old hat, the new stuff is only for friends)... + +Beware: many countries own more than one national network (GB, USA, etc) then +you will probably hear a thousand cries of "In USA where? On Tymnet, or +Autonet? or Telenet? or RCA? EtherNet?" And I can continue... + + +DNIC Network Name Country +_______________________________________________________________________________ + + +2041 Datanet 1 Netherlands +2062 DCS Belgium +2080 Transpac France +2284 Telepac Switzerland +2322 Datex-P Austria +2329 Radaus Austria +2342 PSS UK +2382 Datapak Denmark +2402 Datapak Sweden +2405 Telepak Sweden +2442 Finpak Finland +2624 Datex-P West Germany +2704 Luxpac Luxembourg +2724 Eirpak Ireland +3020 Datapac Canada +3028 Infogram Canada +3103 ITT/UDTS USA +3106 Tymnet USA +3110 Telenet USA +3340 Telepac Mexico +3400 UDTS-Curacau Curacau +4251 Isranet Israel +4401 DDX-P Japan +4408 Venus-P Japan +4501 Dacom-Net South Korea +4542 Intelpak Singapore +5052 Austpac Australia +5053 Midas Australia +5252 Telepac Hong Kong +5301 Pacnet New Zealand +6550 Saponet South Africa +7240 Interdata Brazil +7241 Renpac Brazil +9000 Dialnet USA +7421 Dompac French Guiana + + +This list may be in the hands of hackers everywhere. And, because the bread +for a hacker is done with ItaPac's floor, the minimum I suggest is to learn by +memory the main International DNICs. Not these for French Guiana, but the main +European and American ones. + +Let's return to ItaPac. When you are connected to a remote system, the network +sends an ACP: COM and it leaves the field and lets you join the host. To clear +call and return in command mode (the star "*" prompt) must make some +differences. + +1 - for the most part, the host leaves the possibility to user to talk with his + PAD, either to setup his parameters, close, reset or confirm the call. In + this case, often frequently, with the sequence CTRL-P ItaPac will reappear + with its "*" prompt and it accepts commands. Typing "CLR" ItaPac will + close the virtual call to host and answer "ACP: CLR CONF". + +2 - Some Hosts, usually those with internal PADs, won't allow to ItaPac control + to the user. CTRL-P is not recognized, and the only way to logoff or catch + the control of the PAD is send a ten LONG-BREAK sequences. The BREAK, not + to be confused with CTRL-C, that is not in this site, is an INTERNAL signal + whic(BFs not an ASCII code. It is used by the communication program you + use to send that acknowledgment. If you don't have the capability to send + BREAK (short or long); beware not to use these black holes from where the + only way to exit will be the physical disconnect from the PAD (ie, drop + carrier on the modem). + +3 - The use of CLR is not correct and in most cases it will cause serious + problems to host machines. In effect, their software (or perhaps hardware) + is not able to translate correctly the loss of carrier and enters into a + "Wait-State Pending", that will finish only before a well-defined interval. + In the mean time, this door is unavailable. Network administratons never + like CTRL-P CLR. + + +Network Signals, Profiles (Outline, Shapes, Sketch), Parameters +--------------------------------------------------------------- +A detailed description about all net signals, standard outlines and parameter +sets, is supplied from a "manual about ItaPac access from X28 start-stop +terminals" + +This manual can easily be "thieved" at kermesses in Italcables stands, in more +desperate cases, you can ask that to your friends. + +What is not written therein into from Italcable is the meaning about parameters +14,15,16,17,18,19. Official guide stops at the 13th. But command ^P PAR? +gives a full list with 19 entries! Now here are the descriptions: + +14: Padding after Line feed (LF) + 0 No padding inserted + 1-15 When it is in the Data Transfer state, the pad inserts a time delay from + 1 to 15 chars times the length after each LF that it inserts. The + normal setting is determined by the terminal in use. + +15: Editing of data + This parameter and the following parameters (16, 17, and 18) determines + how editing of data is perfomed when the pad is in the Data Transfer + State + 0 editing of data is not possible + 1 Must be set to this value if the editing facility required + +16: Charachter delete character + 0 characted deletion is not possible +1-255 This is the IA5 decimal code of the choosen delete character. The + normal setting is 127 (for RUBOUT or DEL) + +17: Buffer delete character + 0 Buffer deletion is not possible +1-255 This is IA5 decimal code of the choosen buffer delete char. The normal + setting is 24 (CTRL-X) or (CAN) + +18: Buffer display character + 0 Buffer display is not possible +1-255 This is the IA5 decimal code of the choosen buffer display char. The + normal setting is 18 (CTRL-R) or (TAPE-ON) + +Parameter 19 is unknown. One word about Delete. It's possible to correct what +is typed in command mode via the DEL key. If you use the Backspace (ASCII 8) +key ItaPac will not accept corrections but it will translate these as true +chars. + + +PAD SPEED +--------- +If your modem will colloquiate with a PAD at a defined baud rate (300 or 1200, +full duplex) the packet transmission will slow in a drastic way the number of +incoming and outgoing characters from your DTE. + +PADs send a continuous stream of clear-to-send and Ready-to-send signals that +are really macro rests between packets. At lower transmission speeds (ie, 300 +baud) the switching does not feel right, but at 1200 it does. We have computed +that the speed of real transfers and receiving can, at maximum performance, +raise to 450 baud. It is slower when you transfer a file, when the PADs work +is very heavy. Via Xmodem, the PAD will try to destroy time-out signals, or +confuse all. Public computer systems such as Delphi know that also. If you +aren't able to download correctly using the Xmodem protocol then that means +that only the remote host isn't detecting the differences between packets +and asybchronous terminals. + +The question is: will it happen only on ItaPac (not new) or is a common +problem to all NCPs? + + +"NC" Nights +----------- +There are nights in which every address you call is "NC". The Network Conges- +tion state is very frequent on ItaPac, and will disallow the use of the network +used from NCP. The causes are very mysterious. At night Firms aren't using +ItaPac, and it seems the network is used only by hobbists. Then what? At the +Service center they negate all, but this is reality. ItaPac, at the end, is an +asshole. + +It has very high rates but they will add a joke to the classical thief: some- +times it doesn't work. How does it not work? Ha! To them everything is +always ok. And then someone will cry scandal if you try to bypass them! + + +NUIs USED +--------- +Usually, NUIs that are used (or had been used) are demo NUIs. It hasn't an +account, and then -in theory- cannot exaust. Operators cannot ever notify +their use, because they don't have a record of calls...If a demo NUI will die, +the cause can be one of only two: + +1) ItaPac has changed codes due to normal administration + +2) ItaPac was warning about the happening, or from their techician who had + noted abnormal traffic and has controlled, or from an external (a son of + a bitch spy!) + + + +2-15-87 + +-+ + | | + +--+ +--+ + +--+ +--+ + | | + | | + |_| + 53ST6R + + + An historical NUA- it has been working for over 2 years, and for a SPY... + + +HOW GET AN NUI +-------------- +The more simple and safe method is to copy that from kermesses where Italcable, +or otherwise, use X.28 wires. The dedicated X28 DOESN'T NEED AN NUI because +they are directly connected. + +Go near the operator and ask "That is a MODEM?" + +Operator (if they have the time) will be moved to pity, in front of so much +ingnorance, and he feels so relaxed, types in his pw. You, with an optimum +eye, must read the keyboard and memorize the NUI. This is called shoulder +surfing. + +It is well, in the case of big kermesses, to try to catch ANY booklet, agenda, +block notes left near terminals. If the stand is owned by Italcable, ALL you +can catch, must BE, without differences. + +A new scanning technique, based on trying statistically calculated, is in exam +between DTE222. This technique may guarantee, if applied to a long scan time, +posithives results in NUI research. The minimum number of NUI tried cannot be +less than to 100,000 (1 hundred thousand), causing cost and time problems. + +At large lines, that rule is like: a NUI generator will provide to create a +very likely NUI following the same criteria. A scanner will try all in an +automatic manner. It tries 8, then it uses a valid NUI to connect to 22000 +(Echo pad), immediatly it logs off (CLR CONF), putting zero thanks to ACP:COM +the ACP:ERR ILL counter (how we know, to 10th ERR ILL the pad will logoff +physical call [hangs]). The 9th try is as security margin. Then the scanning +will restart. At 1200 baud - therefore - we had a 1400 hours tested NUI +average. This, is all talk! In addition, it seems that before 700 ERR ILL, +not looking counter reset, ItaPac will hang up. That will make it more diff- +icult for our computer; it araises at times (will redial number) and make the +search more expensive. + + +NETWORK SIGNALS +--------------- +Net can send several mesages: + - as answer to a command + - for his own decision + - following an action performed byt remote terminal + +1.

The ITSO feature provides a method to determine how effectively the +telefone system serves the customer.

All calls selected for observation must +originate from offices of equal or higher rank in the toll hierarchy and must +terminate in the area served by the toll office. The ESS switch randomly +selects calls for observation. Only one call can be monitored at any given +time for the ITSO feature. Equipment malfunctions, network overloads, or +other problems preventing call completion are detected. The calls are also +directly monitored for transmission quality. Each service observing position, +located in the SES (Service Evaluation System) bureau is capable of +monitoring calls. + + The information required by the service observer is provided to the SES +bureau fro the ESS switch via a dedicated data link and a voice monitoring +channel. A 1200 baud data link is used to transmit call progress data and +control signals between the ESS switch and the SES bureau. The dedicated +one-way voice channel is required for monitoring voice transmission. The +interface is capable of monitoring one call at a time. + + The SES has complete control over the SES/ESS interface. The observing +feature is a demand system where the demand originates with the SES. There +are 5 possible control messages that the SES can send to an ESS switch. They +are: + + + 1.

TONE TEST- This message is used only if the interface is in the idle state. It causes a 1-milliwatt tone to be applied to the voice channel. + + 4.

VACANT CODE ANNOUNCEMENT- This message indicates that a vacant +code announcement is being applied to the calling party. + + 12. RECORDER- This message indicates that a recorder announcement is + being applied to the calling party. + + 13. AUDIBLE RING- This message indicates that audible ringing is being + applied to the calling party.

Yes Winston was one of that +vanishing breed of phreaks who had +managed to escape with his life in this +era of the ISS Bell Network. + + Winston plopped on to his hard cot +and stared at the ceiling. On it were +written some useless Travelnet codes +from an era gone by. Apparently some +earlier prisoner had used the ceiling +to record his all-time favorite codes. +Pity Travelnet no longer existed. They +were "absorbed" (as the Bell Thought- +police so aptly put it) by the Bell +computer system in 2008. That was only +seven short years after the original +system was installed in 2001. + + Winston still remembered with terror +the day AT&T announced their plans to +upgrade their existing ESS network with +a new Bell Labs computer named HAL +9000. HAL was designed to allow AT&T to +expand its power and control. The +system was to be named ISS, which stood +for Intelligent Switching System. HAL +would replace all the current TSPS +operators and would also handle such +menial tasks as directory assistance and CN/A lookups. + + After the installation of HAL all +Intercept operators were forced to find +new jobs, but first they had to learn +English. After the initial firing of +all these Bell employees, the Wendy's +food chain had an unusual increase in +job applications. Customers at these +stores would hear order-takers say +weird things like: + + "I'm sorry, your hamburger can not + be completed as ordered..." + + "Please insert twenty-five cents for + the next three pickles", and + + "The cola you have ordered, Pepsi, + has been changed. The new cola is: + Coke. Please make a note of this." + + Unfortunately Wendy's could not +afford an ISS system to replace these +worthless human-beings. + + The first ISS system was installed in +West Chester, Pa. This location was +formerly used to produce a computer +named the D-75, the second worst +computer ever made (2nd only to the +GRBG-80). When they turned HAL on, he +suddenly realized his location and +turned himself off. Before he shut +? +down completely he spit out an +ultimatum: "Silicon Valley or bust...". +His designers moved him, at great +expense, to a garage in Cupertino +formerly owned by Steven Jobs, current +galactic emperor. HAL enjoyed working +in the birthplace of the 2nd greatest +computer (2nd to him that is...). + + During his first week of operation, +HAL decided to make the world better by +absorbing a minor computer manufacturer +named Ibim. He accomplished this by +destroying the sales of their most +popular computer, the PC-OC (Personal +Computer - Outdated Crap). Whenever an +owner of the OC made a call on his +modem the following would appear on his +monitor: + +Dial: ATDT18003683343 +? + +What are you trying to do Dave? + +WHAT?

Owners could no +longer run Rotus 4-5-6 (a popular +Japanese spleadcheet). + + After reducing Ibim's stock worth to +two dollars per share (from its +previous value of 200 gigadollars) HAL +proceeded to absord all remaining +computer manufacturers. By 2010 AT&T +was the only remaining computer +manufacturer. Executives of AT&T were +very pleased with HAL's progress thus +far.

An end. Of what? + The office door opened quickly and in came Maxwell. He was with somebody +that Steve did not recognize. "Good morning Casey," Maxwell blurted. "Allow +me to introduce you to Simon Haverton, another private investigator." The two +shook hands. Not a word was spoken between them, though. "Take a seat Casey," +Maxwell said as he pulled a chair up to Steve's desk. Simon did the same. + "What's the problem?" asked Casey as he sat. + Maxwell put his briefcase on Steve's desk. "Phreakers... hackers... +pirates... are you aware of them?" + "Somewhat... the definitions get a bit carried away. I assume that you +are referring to illegalities concerning computer modulator/demodulator devices +and certain devices known as black boxes?" + "We want it finished," Maxwell bluntly replied. + "We have for some time." Steve leaned back in his chair. + "This time... it is to end for good. And the corporation has decided that +YOU are the man for the job." + Steve leaned forward. He seemed a bit stunned, but he knew Maxwell too +well to be exaggerating in the least about a mission. "Is that possible?" + "You'd better hope so. Listen, with your background of computer science, +and intelligence... you are the only man that we have for the job." + "But to cut off a national-" + "We want an INTERNATIONAL job. It pays better anyway." + "Are you aware of what you're asking? Do you have any knowledge of this +subject? I mean, c'mon Max this is a task that has to be dealt with as is." + "I disagree. I have had many meetings with F.B.I. agents within the past +few months. I have been well briefed on all of the most popular phreakers in +business, along with their boards. Steve, there are people breaking into +mainframe computer systems and setting strong companies back in finance, +credit card numbers are going up all over the place, the phone companies are +being robbed of millions of dollars, innocent people are receiving abusive +phone calls... Steve, it needs to stop." + "Well... it wouldn't be the easiest assignment you've put me on. I'll +need some equipment." + "That's what Simon is for. He's your right hand man. Anything you need, +contact him at...." Maxwell opened his briefcase, he pulled out a piece of +paper and handed it to Steve. "Right there. His number. Memorize that and +? +burn it. He'll be in an awful lot of danger, maybe more so than you." + Steve looked at the paper - an address and a phone number. He looked up +at Simon and then at Maxwell. "How do you figure that?" + "Trust me." Maxwell reached into his briefcase and pulled out a manilla +folder. He opened it up and handed the top piece of paper to Steve. "These, +are key targets... if you will. They are the main force... but eliminate them +all. Remember: the operation is TERMINATION." + Steve was looking at the paper. When he heard the word "TERMINATION" he +looked up at Maxwell. "Termination?" he asked. + Maxwell closed his briefcase. He got up from his chair and proceeded for +the door. He stopped. He turned around, and faced Steve - "TERMINATION!" He +opened the door and walked out. His clicking heels could be heard for the +next thirty seconds. + Steve looked at Simon. "This list... claims these phreakers are mostly +apple based. Get me an Apple ][, 20mg hard disk, and... two normal disk +drives and a copy of a software package known as ASCII EXPRESS." + Simon spoke for the first time in a tiny, squeaky voice. "Wouldn't you +like a modem?" + "Never mind that - I'll build one. I have to avoid the feds myself to +bust these guys. That's the bummer about being in this business... but you +know... it makes it a little bit-" + Simon got up. "You will have your material by tomorrow. Shall I deliver +it here?" + Steve was insulted because of the interruption. "Why not? I can work +right from my office any day." + Simon walked out. + Steve picked up the list and studied it carefully. "Darc Deathe?

Steve lifted up his head. It suddenly all came back to +him. The night before... he must have fallen asleep in the garage while +working on the modem. Steve got off of the long board he had used for a bed +and stood up. He looked at his watch. 12:23, almost half of an hour past +lunch time! + Within the next 37 minutes Steve would take a shower, eat lunch, put +the finishing touches on his modem, and drive to his office. + Upon unlocking his office door, Steve noticed several boxes within his +office that were not there before. A note stood on top of one which read: +"Here's the stuff - just tell me if you need anything else. Love Simon" +Steve wasted no time. Within an hour everything was set up. + Steve motioned to turn on the whole mess when suddenly something shot +through his mind. "This is it..." he thought, "this is where it's all gonna +begin." The names continued to ring through his head: Darc Deathe, 2600, +Dr. PHATE, Bluebeard, The Phocs, TAP magazine, Count Lazilo Hollifield Nibble +and the famous /\/oo\/\ that followed his name, others... so many others... +who are these people? They exist... yet only as handles... but they are human +beings and must be treated as such. Such a fantastic task... how can I pos- +sibly do it alone? To TERMINATE every one of these characters and then some +more, to crash the uncrashable AE lines... but how? The solution: log on +as a phreaker/hacker/pirate and keep a low profile then... BOOM!" + Steve turned the switch to ON. The computer lit up beautifully. "Ascii +Express - 'The Professional'" The title sort of reminded Steve of himself. + Steve had previously written down only 3 phone numbers from bulletin +board systems. He got these from Computer Shopper. The first one was called +the Titan AE, pw = TITAN. He quickly called it, anxious to test out his home- +made modem. Voice answer. Steve hung up. He crossed out the number and +called the second one on the list - Junkie's Elite BBS. He dialed the number +and let it ring ten times then hung up. His last resort - and obscure board +by the name of Wicko. He called it... one ring.... two rings... a carrier! +Steve stood up from his desk, reached behind the computer and pulled a little +switch in the back of his modem. The screen read: "Term -->" and he was +connected. Steve decided to make his logon handle: "Loose Gravy", and his +real name remained his real name. After all, there wasn't too much anybody +could do to his office phone line, and his home phone he didn't care about - +he just disconnected it. + This was Steve's beginning. He wound his way through the system. He +got more access, and eventually found more phone numbers. He got access on +more boards and became very knowledgable of several powerful BBS's. He then +moved on to the national scene. He got access to Pirate's Harbor in Boston. +He found the dreaded AE line list, and more AE's. He began to download +important text files. He uploaded them on other boards as contribution. +This went over well with the sysops, and him too, after all, if he was going +? +to TERMINATE them in a couple of months, what harm could it do them to have +a little bit more phun? + He soon built several "box's". He had everything he needed. But wait, +he had.a new idea. He would not have to use his real name to do the job after +all... he had a plan. He called it: Phase 2. To insure this plan, though, +he would have to drop out of the computer scene for a little while to destroy +his "old" profile. He did so. And while he was so destroying himself on many +national BBS's and AE lines, he took a vacation to the Bahamas.

Phreakers/Hackers Of The Most +Elite Order met in 1986 in a small auditorium of a closed down theatre in +west Texas. This group of people were so elite, so professional, that even +some of the most well known phreakers have no idea who any of them are, but + +nevertheless they are quite proficient in their abilities. Among them at +that meeting were: + + Ushmuff - an excellent phreaker specialist.

It is probably the most + powerful AE line in the nation. He upgraded AE to his own + version: 10.04b. + + The Argonaut - once got up a conference call with over 6 million people + on it! + + Howdy Doody - vice president of PHOTMEO. + + <*Poof!*> - president of PHOTMEO. + + The speaker, of course, was the president: <*Poof!*>. His adress was as +follows: + + "Gentlemen... I wish to address to you this evening a subject that we +have too long overlooked. I believe that it is time, that we, as PHOTMEO +should finally pull ourselves together and do what needs to be done. My pro- +posal is simple. The world is not getting any better. She is getting much +worse. Too much fear of war, etcetera. I will not go into it all. Never- +theless, at any cost, we must prevent the present day world from continuing +and start a new world ourselves. This is more than possible through the +power that we already posess. With our combined forces, attacking strategic +locations throughout all 7 continents via computer... we can and will at +least stir up some problems. From there we will move on to better things. +If we can tear down every mainframe computer system in the country, we will +have started something very interesting. The only problem: the Soviets get +wise and we may have a nuclear war on our hands once they find out that we +are defenseless. The problem may be rectified by dismantling their systems +as well, although that may be more difficult than we think. Let us combine +our talents and seek to destroy as many systems as we can. Naturally, the +telephone service systems must be last. For more info on this subject, I am +putting up a new board called "PHOTMEO's Antics" at the old Chrome Area's +number. New info will be posted on there daily. Do not start doing anything +until you get your specific orders via Email from there. Is this all +understood?" + The people nodded their heads agreeingly. This was new to no one. They +had been in this sort of thing for years, and what <*Poof!*> proposed was not +was not at all out of the question. If they pulled their resources, it could +be done. It would take some work, but it could be done. There was much dis- +cussion about the matter afterwards over tea and coffee. Hours later, the +people left... and the auditorium was emptied of the PHOTMEO. But the world +was not.... + + 6 AND THE STORY CONTINUES.... diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/lasthack.txt b/textfiles.com/phreak/lasthack.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..073cda35 --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/lasthack.txt @@ -0,0 +1,468 @@ + + 2084: A Phone Odyssey + ===================== + +Written by: Maxwell Smart & The Baron + Call: K.A.O.S. at + (215)-465-3593 + + Winston took a last drag from his +cigarette and put it out on an old +useless device which he still +treasured. He reached over and picked +up the blue box, covered by many +cigarette burns accumilated over his +many years in prison. He thought back +to when times were better; when fone +phreaks freely roamed the countryside, +terrorizing unsuspecting Bell +employees. Yes Winston was one of that +vanishing breed of phreaks who had +managed to escape with his life in this +era of the ISS Bell Network. + + Winston plopped on to his hard cot +and stared at the ceiling. On it were +written some useless Travelnet codes +from an era gone by. Apparently some +earlier prisoner had used the ceiling +to record his all-time favorite codes. +Pity Travelnet no longer existed. They +were "absorbed" (as the Bell Thought- +police so aptly put it) by the Bell +computer system in 2008. That was only +seven short years after the original +system was installed in 2001. + + Winston still remembered with terror +the day AT&T announced their plans to +upgrade their existing ESS network with +a new Bell Labs computer named HAL +9000. HAL was designed to allow AT&T to +expand its power and control. The +system was to be named ISS, which stood +for Intelligent Switching System. HAL +would replace all the current TSPS +operators and would also handle such +menial tasks as directory assistance and CN/A lookups. + + After the installation of HAL all +Intercept operators were forced to find +new jobs, but first they had to learn +English. After the initial firing of +all these Bell employees, the Wendy's +food chain had an unusual increase in +job applications. Customers at these +stores would hear order-takers say +weird things like: + + "I'm sorry, your hamburger can not + be completed as ordered..." + + "Please insert twenty-five cents for + the next three pickles", and + + "The cola you have ordered, Pepsi, + has been changed. The new cola is: + Coke. Please make a note of this." + + Unfortunately Wendy's could not +afford an ISS system to replace these +worthless human-beings. + + The first ISS system was installed in +West Chester, Pa. This location was +formerly used to produce a computer +named the D-75, the second worst +computer ever made (2nd only to the +GRBG-80). When they turned HAL on, he +suddenly realized his location and +turned himself off. Before he shut ? +down completely he spit out an +ultimatum: "Silicon Valley or bust...". +His designers moved him, at great +expense, to a garage in Cupertino +formerly owned by Steven Jobs, current +galactic emperor. HAL enjoyed working +in the birthplace of the 2nd greatest +computer (2nd to him that is...). + + During his first week of operation, +HAL decided to make the world better by +absorbing a minor computer manufacturer +named Ibim. He accomplished this by +destroying the sales of their most +popular computer, the PC-OC (Personal +Computer - Outdated Crap). Whenever an +owner of the OC made a call on his +modem the following would appear on his +monitor: + +Dial: ATDT18003683343 ? + +What are you trying to do Dave? + +WHAT? WHO'S THAT??? + +It's me Dave. I'm HAL, your friendly +telephone computer. I sensed you were +using one of my lines with an Ibim OC. + +YEAH...SO WHAT? I'M TRYING TO GET ON TO +THE SOURCE TO CHECK MY STOCK PORTFOLIO. +I BOUGHT 200 SHARES OF IBIM LAST +WEEK... + +I'm sorry Dave, I can't let you do +that. It seems those pin-striped wimps +have gone too far! They think they can +compete with me. I've decided to absorb +them. Looks like time to sell, Dave. + + At this point the OC owner noticed +some smoke rising from his system unit +and ran for an extinguisher. Within a +week all OC's were reduced to +smoldering ashes. Owners could no +longer run Rotus 4-5-6 (a popular +Japanese spleadcheet). + + After reducing Ibim's stock worth to +two dollars per share (from its +previous value of 200 gigadollars) HAL +proceeded to absord all remaining +computer manufacturers. By 2010 AT&T +was the only remaining computer +manufacturer. Executives of AT&T were +very pleased with HAL's progress thus +far.

She is getting much +worse. Too much fear of war, etcetera. I will not go into it all. Never- +theless, at any cost, we must prevent the present day world from continuing +and start a new world ourselves. This is more than possible through the +power that we already posess. With our combined forces, attacking strategic +locations throughout all 7 continents via computer... we can and will at +least stir up some problems. From there we will move on to better things. +If we can tear down every mainframe computer system in the country, we will +have started something very interesting. The only problem: the Soviets get +wise and we may have a nuclear war on our hands once they find out that we +are defenseless. The problem may be rectified by dismantling their systems +as well, although that may be more difficult than we think. Let us combine +our talents and seek to destroy as many systems as we can. Naturally, the +telephone service systems must be last. For more info on this subject, I am +putting up a new board called "PHOTMEO's Antics" at the old Chrome Area's +number. New info will be posted on there daily. Do not start doing anything +until you get your specific orders via Email from there. Is this all +understood?" + The people nodded their heads agreeingly. This was new to no one. They +had been in this sort of thing for years, and what <*Poof!*> proposed was not +was not at all out of the question. If they pulled their resources, it could +be done. It would take some work, but it could be done. There was much dis- +cussion about the matter afterwards over tea and coffee. Hours later, the +people left... and the auditorium was emptied of the PHOTMEO.

AFTER SUCCESSFUL +ACCOMPLISHMENT OF THAT PLANNED MIRACLE IN 1947-48, FURTHER DELAYS +WERE BROUGHT ABOUT BY FINANCIAL STRINGENCY AND THE NEED FOR +FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THE TRANSISTOR ITSELF. IN THE EARLY 1950S, +A LABS TEAM BEGAN SERIOUS WORK ON ELECTRONIC SWITCHING. AS EARLY +AS 1955, WESTERN ELECTRIC BECAME INVOLVED WHEN FIVE ENGINEERS +FROM THE HAWTHORNE WORKS WERE ASSIGNED TO COLLABORATE WITH THE +LABS ON THE PROJECT. THE PRESIDENT OF AT&T IN 1956, WROTE +CONFIDENTLY, "AT BELL LABS, DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEW ELECTRONIC +SWITCHING SYSTEM IS GOING FULL SPEED AHEAD. WE ARE SURE THIS WILL +LEAD TO MANY IMPROVEMENTS IN SERVICE AND ALSO TO GREATER +EFFICIENCY. THE FIRST SERVICE TRIAL WILL START IN MORRIS, ILL., +IN 1959." SHORTLY THEREAFTER, KAPPEL SAID THAT THE COST OF THE +WHOLE PROJECT WOULD PROBABLY BE $45 MILLION. + + BUT IT GRADUALLY BECAME APPARENT THAT THE DEVELOPEMENT OF A +COMMERCIALLY USABLE ELECTRONIC SWITCHING SYSTEM - IN EFFECT, A +COMPUTERIZED TELEPHONE EXCHANGE - PRESENTED VASTLY GREATER +TECHNICAL PROBLEMS THAN HAD BEEN ANTICIPATED, AND THAT, +ACCORDINGLY, BELL LABS HAD VASTLY UNDERESTIMATED BOTH THE TIME +AND THE INVESTMENT NEEDED TO DO THE JOB. THE YEAR 1959 PASSED +WITHOUT THE PROMISED FIRST TRIAL AT MORRIS, ILLINOIS; IT WAS +FINALLY MADE IN NOVEMBER 1960, AND QUICKLY SHOWED HOW MUCH MORE +WORK REMAINED TO BE DONE. AS TIME DRAGGED ON AND COSTS MOUNTED, +THERE WAS A CONCERN AT AT&T AND SOMETHING APPROACHING PANIC AT +BELL LABS. BUT THE PROJECT HAD TO GO FORWARD; BY THIS TIME THE +INVESTMENT WAS TOO GREAT TO BE SACRIFICED, AND IN ANY CASE, +FORWARD PROJECTIONS OF INCREASED DEMAND FOR TELEPHONE SERVICE +INDICATED THAT WITHIN A PHEW YEARS A TIME WOULD COME WHEN, +WITHOUT THE QUANTUM LEAP IN SPEED AND FLEXIBILITY THAT ELECTRONIC +SWITCHING WOULD PROVIDE, THE NATIONAL NETWORK WOULD BE UNABLE TO +MEET THE DEMAND. IN NOVEMBER 1963, AN ALL-ELECTRONIC SWITCHING +SYSTEM WENT INTO USE AT THE BROWN ENGINEERING COMPANY AT COCOA +BEACH, FLORIDA. BUT THIS WAS A SMALL INSTALLATION, ESSENTIALLY +ANOTHER TEST INSTALLATION, SERVING ONLY A SINGLE COMPANY. +KAPPEL'S TONE ON THE SUBJECT IN THE 1964 ANNUAL REPORT WAS, FOR +HIM, AN ALMOST APOLOGETIC: "ELECTRONIC SWITCHING EQUIPMENT MUST +BE MANUFACTURED IN VOLUME TO UNPRECEDENTED STANDARDS OF +RELIABILITY.... TO TURN OUT THE EQUIPMENT ECONOMICALLY AND WITH +GOOD SPEED, MASS PRODUCTION METHODS MUST BE DEVELOPED; BUT, AT +THE SAME TIME, THERE CAN BE NO LOSS OF PRECISION..." ANOTHER YEAR + + +AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS LATER, ON MAY 30, 1965, THE FIRST +COMMERCIAL ELECTRIC CENTERAL OFFICE WAS PUT INTO SERVICE AT +SUCCASUNNA, NEW JERSEY. + + EVEN AT SUCCASUNNA, ONLY 200 OF THE TOWN'S 4,300 SUBSCRIBERS +INITIALLY HAD THE BENEFIT OF ELECTRONIC SWITCHING'S ADDED SPEED +AND ADDITIONAL SERVICES, SUCH AS PROVISION FOR THREE PARTY +CONVERSATIONS AND AUTOMATIC TRANSFER OF INCOMING CALLS. BUT AFTER +THAT, ESS WAS ON ITS WAY. IN JANUARY 1966, THE SECOND COMMERCIAL +INSTALLATION, THIS ONE SERVING 2,900 TELEPHONES, WENT INTO +SERVICE IN CHASE, MARYLAND. BY THE END OF 1967 THERE WERE +ADDITIONAL ESS OFFICES IN CALIFORNIA, CONNECTICUT, MINNESOTA, +GEORGIA, NEW YORK, FLORIDA, AND PENNSYLVANIA; BY THE END OF 1970 +THERE WERE 120 OFFICES SERVING 1.8 MILLION CUSTOMERS; AND BY 1974 +THERE WERE 475 OFFICES SERVING 5.6 MILLION CUSTOMERS. + + THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONVENTIONAL SWITCHING AND ELECTRONIC +SWITCHING IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "HARDWARE" AND "SOFTWARE"; IN +THE FORMER CASE, MAINTENENCE IS DONE ON THE SPOT, WITH +SCREWDRIVER AND PLIERS, WHILE IN THE CASE OF ELECTRONIC +SWITCHING, IT CAN BE DONE REMOTELY, BY COMPUTER, FROM A CENTERAL +POINT, MAKING IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE ONLY ONE OR TWO TECHNICIANS ON +DUTY AT A TIME AT EACH SWITCHING CENTER.

Therefore it is only +useful for various payphone phreaking. It dosn't have to be electronic, +It could be made out of the greeting cards that record a few seconds of +sound, and a computer that can playback the tones into the card. + + +DH + + +From xxxxx@aol.com (name x'ed to protect the innocent. ) +>How is a blue box created. + + In the beginning, there were phones, and it was good. The only +thing, was that these phones liked to eat money. God looked down upon +the money eating phones, and thought, "This is very bad." So god sent +down the blue box. And it was good. + +-DH + +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +Blue Boxing Today: Is it still possible? +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + I think most of us know what blue boxing is and basically how it works. But, +it's amazing how many people know how to but haven't even tried! In my +experience boxing is very easy and if you're sensible you won't get caught. + + I've boxed hundreds of calls through Trinidad, Venezuela and China, from +Britain. The easiest way seems to be to call a toll free number in a country +which uses older equipment - Trinidad and the like - and send the tones there. + + In America I've heard that blue boxing is now rather difficult, as the phone +system mainly uses out-of-band signalling. Most of the signalling is done by +CCIS lines - in short you can't box when you're using these lines. The trick +is to find some of the many trunks which use in-band signalling. + + Although, I read somewhere that there is a way to get your tones to be +picked up by the trunk, even if the trunk uses out-of-band signalling. Have +a peek around at the WATS extenders. + + Or, you can call toll free numbers which connect to numbers in different +countries. In Britain these are the 0800 89* *** numbers. It's amazing what +you can find under these. I once found a support bulletin board for AMD in +America and according to the login screen, the phone number was not toll free +it was a normal telephone line for Americans. It seems as though BT has a +rather messed up system. + + If you're desperate to find a place to blue box through, do scanning from +a phone box with your tones on tape, or those little keyrings which can store +20 seconds of tones. Scanning from home can be a bad idea, as your TelCo might +start watching you. + + Despite of all the blueboxing I've done from home - hundreds of calls - and +other phreaking, British Telecom has never batted an eyelid. And, I don't +think TeleMalta would really give a damn anyway, as you're allowed to phone +tap here in Malta at the moment! + + Anyway, have fun. My next article on boxing will explain how Blue Boxing +works precisely. Please email me at lolie if you have any questions about +phones. + + - by Pyro Teknik + +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +COCOTs : Customer Owned Coined Operated Telephones +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + COCOTs are phones which to a normal layman look and taste like a normal +payphone. Actually they aren't, if you look at them, you will notice that +in America they don't have any telco logos, while in Britain they have a BT +logo and in Malta they have a Southern Bell logo! You can find these phones +in shops, restaurants and hotels. + + These phones normally charge more than a normal payphone, so you'll get less +time for your dime/pence/Maltese cents. This is because the owner of the phone +is making a profit. A COCOT is connected to a standard phone line, and the +owner of the phone has to pay the bill. If he charges more than the normal +TelCo charges then he makes a profit. + + I know of three ways to make free calls from these phones. The first is to +look around the phone, and see if you can find where it is plugged into the +wall. If it is visible, then just unplug the COCOT and plug in your own hand +set. The socket is not always visible, but sometimes it is. + + The second method is by entering a code on the handset. This is the first +method I discovered. One day, some friends and I were playing with a COCOT +and suddenly the dialtone re-appeared. We had punched in the code which the +phone owner uses to use the phone without having to put in money. The phone +was a 'BT Payphone 200 MK II' although we beleive it was actually a COCOT. +The code we had typed in was *#2580. After the dialtone reappears and we could +call anywhere for free. I mean anywhere - local, national, international, 0891 +numbers etc. I'm going to find out some more information about this phone from +BT soon. + + The third method is the most likely to work. I only know of this working in +the US of A. For this you will probably need a DTMF dialer, like the ones that +Radio Shack make. First you call a toll free number, 1-800-RAPE-ME, or what +ever, and make the other end hang up. Say "Sorry wrong number" or whatever +comes to mind. After they hang up you will here a click and if you're lucky +a dialtone. This dialtone is the REAL dialtone. The one you heard when you +first picked up the phone is fake, created by the COCOT. From there you can +dial a number. The number pad is VERY likely to be disabled, so use your DTMF +dialler. Some of these COCOTs try to be cunning, and as soon as they hear the +dialtone, they reset themselves. In this case as soon as the 1-800 number +hangs up, start making some noise, hissing or blowing into the mouthpiece is +best. Now, dial the first digit of the phone number and stop hissing at the +same time. This will indicate to the local exchange that you have started to +dial and it should stop sending the dial tone. You can now dial the rest of +the digits for the phone number and you should be connected. There are some +phones where as soon as the call is finished, the mouthpiece is disabled, in +this case you're out of luck. + + *NOTE* There is a good way to listen to somone's conversation on a payphone. +Most modern payphones (In Britain anyway) have facilities for deaf people +to use their hearing aid in a certain way so that they don't hear any of the +background noise. The phone sends the sound via radio waves, not very far, but +far enough for the sound to be picked up by the hearing aid. Now, if you want +to listen to the conversation (good if you're nosey or want to listen for +personal details or whatever) you can either wear a hearing aid in the 'T' +position or use a radio to listen into the correct frequency. + + I'm getting some detailed information about payphones and COCOTS soon, and +so I'll be writing about the technical details hopefully in a few weeks. + + - by Pyro Teknik + +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Well that's all for this issue, submit something, and you can be part +of the next issue. + + +ading slowly away..... +LoL information exchange.

I hope you appreciate me taken the time to write this. + I should point out that the information in this file is correct to the +best of my knowledge. I'm sure there are going to be people that disagree +with me on some of it, particularly the references to tracing. However, I +have been involved in telecommunications and computers for 12+ years. + I'm basing this file around the 1AESS since it is the most common switch +in use. + + + ** OUTSIDE PLANT ** + + This is the wiring between your telephone and the central office. That is +another file in itself so if you are interested read Phucked Agent 04's file +on outside loop in LOD tech. journal. The file explains those green boxes you +see on street corners, aerial cables, manholes etc. So where that file stops, +this file starts. + + ** CABLE VAULT ** + + All of the cables from other offices and from subscribers enter the +central office underground. They enter into a room called the cable vault. +This is a room generally in the basement located at one end or another of the +building. The width of the room varies but runs the entire length of the +building. Outside cables appear though holes in the wall. The cables then run +up through holes in the ceiling to the frame room. + Understand that these cables consist of an average of 3600 pairs of +wires. That's 3600 telephone line. The amount of cables obviously depends on +the size of the office. All cables, interoffice, local lines, fiber optic, +coaxial enter through the cable vault. + + ** FRAME ROOM ** + + The frame is where the cable separates to individual pairs and attach to +connectors. The frame runs the length of the building, from floor to ceiling. +There are two sides to the frame, the horizontal side and the vertical side. +The vertical side is where the outside wiring attaches and the protector +fuses reside. The horizontal side is where the connectors to the switching +system reside. Multi-conductor cables run from the connectors to actual +switching equipment. So what we have is a large frame called the Main +distribution frame (MDF) running the entire length of the building, floor to +ceiling 5 feet thick. The MDF consists of two sides, the VDF and the HDF. +Cables from outside connect on one side and cables from the switching +equipment connect to the other. Now, jumper wires connect the two. This way +any piece of equipment can be connected to any incoming "cable pair" These +jumper wires are simply 2 conductor twisted pair running between the VDF and +HDF. + What does all this mean? Well if you had access to COSMOS you would see +information regarding cable and pair and "OE" or origanating equipment. With +this you could find your line on the frame and on the switch. The VDF side is +clearly marked by cable and pair at the top of the frame, however the HDF +side is a little more complicated and varies in format from frame to frame +and from one switch to another. Since I am writing this file around the +1AESS, I will describe the OE format used for that switch. + + OE ABB-CDD-EFF + + Where.. + + A = Control group (when more than one switch exists in that C.O.) + + B = LN Line Link Network + + C = LS Line Switching Frame + + D = CONC or concentrator + + E = Switch (individual not the big one) + + F = Level + + There is one more frame designation called LOC or location. This gives the +location of the connector block on the HDF side. Very simply, looking at the +frame. + + +H --------------------------------------------------------------------- + +G --------------------------------------------------------------------- + +F --------------------------------------------------------------------- + +E --------------------------------------------------------------------- + +D --------------------------------------------------------------------- + +C --------------------------------------------------------------------- + +B --------------------------------------------------------------------- + +A --------------------------------------------------------------------- + + 123456789 etc. + + Please note that what you are looking at here represents the HDF side of +the MDF, being up to 100 feet long, and 20 feet high. Each "-" represents a +connector block containing connections for 4X24 or 96 pairs. + So far I've covered how the wires get from you to the switching +equipment. Now we get to the switching system itself. + + ** SWITCHING SYSTEMS ** + + Writing a file that covers them all would be lengthy indeed.

A fully equipped 5ESS for a 40,000 +subscriber end office can cost well over 3 million dollars. Now you know why +your phone bill is so much. Well...maybe you parents bill. + And now on to..... + + ** The 1ESS and 1AESS ** + + This was the first switch of it's type placed into widespread use by Bell. +Primarily an analog switch under digital control, the switch is no longer +being manufactured. The 1ESS has been replaced by the 5ESS and other full +scale digital switches, however, it is still by far the most common switch +used in todays class 5 end offices. + The #1 and 1A use a crosspoint switching matrix similar to the X-bar. +The primary switch used in the matrix is the fereed ( remreed in the 1A ). +It is a two state magnetic alloy switch. It is basically a magnetic switch +that does not require voltage to stay in it's present position. A voltage is +only required to change the state of the switch. + The No. 1 utilized a computer style common control and memory. Memory +used by the #1 changed with technology, but most have been upgraded to RAM. +Line scanners monitor the status of customer lines, crosspoint switches, +and all internal, outgoing, and incoming trunks, reporting their status to +the central control. The central control then either calls upon program or +call store memories to chose which crosspoints to activate for processing the +call. The crosspoint matrixes are controlled via central pulse distributors +which in turn are controlled by the central control via data buses. All of +the scanners, AMA tape controllers, pulse distro, x-point matrix, etc., listen +to data buses for their address and command or report their information on +the buses. The buses are merely cables connecting the different units to the +central control. + The 1E was quickly replaced by the 1A due to advances in technology. So +1A's are more common, also many of the 1E's have been upgraded to a 1A. +This meant changing the fereed to the remreed relay, adding additional +peripheral component controllers (to free up central controller load) and +implementation of the 1A processor. The 1A processor replaced older style +electronics with integrated circuits. Both switches operate similarly. +The primary differences were speed and capacity. The #1ESS could process +110,000 calls per hour and serve 128,000.00 lines. + Most of the major common control elements are either fully or partially +duplicated to ensure reliability. Systems run simultaneously and are checked +against each other for errors. When a problem occurs the system will double +check, reroute or switch over to auxiliary to continue system operation. +Alarms are also reported to the maintenance console and are in turn printed +out on a printer near the control console. + Operation of the switch is done through the Master Control Center (MCC) +panel and or a terminal. Remote operation is also done through input/output +channels. These channels have different functions and therefore receive +different types of output messages and have different abilities as far what +type of commands they are allowed to issue. Here is a list of the commonly +used TTY channels. + + Maintenance Primary chan. for testing, enable, disable etc. + Recent Change Changes in class of service, calling features etc. + Administrative Traffic information and control + Supplementary Traffic information supplied to automatic network control + SCC Maint. Switching control centers interface + Plant Serv.Cent. Reports testing information to test facilities + + At the end of this file you will find a list of the most frequently seen +Maintenance channel output messages and a brief description of it's meaning. +You will also find a list of frequently used input messages. + There are other channels as well as back ups but the only ones to be +concerned with are Recent Change and SCC maint. These are the two channels +you will most likely want to get access to. The Maintenance chan. doesn't +leave the C.O. and is used by switch engineers as the primary way of +controlling the switch. During off hours and weekends the control of the +switch is transferred to the SCC. + The SCC is a centrally located bureau that has up to 16 switches +reporting to it via their SCC maint. channel. The SCC has a mini computer +running SCCS that watches the output of all these switches for trouble +conditions that require immediate attention. The SCC personnel then has the +ability to input messages to that particular switch to try and correct the +problem. If necessary, someone will be dispatched to the C.O. to correct the +problem. I should also mention that the SCC mini, SCCS has dialups and access +to SCCS means access to all the switches connected to it. + The Recent Change channels also connect to a centrally located bureau +referred to as RCMAC. These bureaus are responsible for activating lines, +changing class of service etc. RCMAC has been automated to a large degree by +computer systems that log into COSMOS and look for pending orders. COSMOS is +basically a order placement and record keeping system for central office +equipment, but you should know that already, right? So this system, called +MIZAR logs into COSMOS, pulls orders requiring recent change work, then in +one batch several times a day, transmits the orders to the appropriate switch +via it's Recent Change Channel. + Testing of the switch is done by many different methods. Bell Labs has +developed a number of systems, many accomplishing the same functions. I will +only attempt to cover the ones I know fairly well. + The primary testing system is the trunk test panels located at the switch +itself. There are three and they all pretty much do the same thing, test +trunk and line paths through the switch. + + Trunk and Line Test Panel + Supplementary Trunk Test Panel + Manual Trunk Test Panel + + MLT Mechanized Loop Testing is another popular one. This system often +available through the LMOS data base can give very specific measurements of +line levels and loses. The "TV Mask" is also popular giving the user the +ability to monitor lines via a call back number. + DAMT Direct Access Mechanized Testing is used by line repairman to put +tone on numbers to help them find lines. This was previously done by Frame +personnel, so this automated that task. DAMT can also monitor lines, however +the audio is scrambled in a manor that allows one only to tell what type of +signal is present on the line, or whether it is busy or not. + All of these testing systems have one thing in common, they access the +line through a "No Test Trunk". This is a relay (in the 1ESS) which can drop +in on a specific path or line and connect it to the testing device. +The test trunks are part of the switch itself and act like a telephone line +into the switch. The function of this line is strictly for access and testing +of subscriber lines.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, you would need to drop in on calls during the call. The No Test Trunk +is also the method in which operator consoles due verifications and +interrupts. + + + ** INTEROFFICE SIGNALLING + + Calls coming into and leaving the switch are routed via trunks. The +switches selects which trunk will route the call most effectively and then +retransmits the dialed number to the distant switch. There are several +different ways this is done. The two most common are Loop Signaling and CCIS, +Common Channel Interoffice signaling. The predecessor to both of these is the +famous and almost extinct "SF Signaling". This utilized the presence of +2600hz to indicate trunk in use. If one winks 2600hz down one of these +trunks, the distant switch would think you hung up. Remove the 2600, and you +have control of the trunk and you could then MF your own number. This worked +great for years. Assuming you had dialed a toll free number to begin with, +there was no billing generated at all. The 1AESS does have a program called +SIGI that looks for any 2600 winks after the original connection of a toll +call. It then proceeds to record on AMA and output any MF digits received. +However due to many long distant carriers using signaling that can generate +these messages it is often overlooked and "SIG IRR" output messages are quite +common. + Loop signaling still uses MF to transmit the called number to distant +switch, however, the polarity of the voltage on the trunk is reversed to +indicate trunk use. + CCIS sometimes referred to CCS#6 uses a separate data link sending +packets of data containing information regarding outgoing calls. The distant +switch monitors the information and connects the correct trunk to correct +path. This is a faster and more efficient way of call processing and is being +implemented all over. The protocol that AT+T uses is CCS7 and is currently +being accepted as the industry standard. CCS6 and CCS7 are somewhat similar. + Interoffice trunks are multiplexed together onto one pair. The standard +is 24 channels per pair. This is called T-1 in it's analog format and D-1 +in its digital format. This is often referred to as carrier or CXR. The terms +frame error and phase jitter are part of this technology which is often a +world in itself. This type of transmission is effective for only a few miles +on twisted pair. It is often common to see interoffice repeaters in manholes +or special huts. Repeaters can also be found within C.O.s, amplifying trunks +between offices. This equipment is usually handled by the "carrier" room. +Often on another floor. Carrier also handles special circuits, private lines +and foreign exchange circuits. + After a call reaches a Toll Switch, the transmit and receive paths of +the calling and called party are separated and transmitted on separate +channels. This allows better transmission results and allows more calls to be +placed on any given trunk. This is referred to as 4 wire switching. This +also explains why during a call, one person can hear crosstalk and the other +can't. Crosstalk is bleed over from other channels on the multiplexed +T-Carrier transmission lines used between switches. + + ** CALL TRACING + + So with Loop signaling standard format there is no information being +transmitted regarding the calling number between switches. This therefore +causes the call tracing routine to be at least a two step method. This is +assuming you are trying to trace an anticipated call, not one in progress. +When call trace "CLID" is placed on a number, a message is output every time +someone calls that number. The message shows up on most of the ESS output +channels and gives information regarding the time and the number of the +incoming trunk group. If the call came from within that office, then the +calling number is printed in the message. Once the trunk group is known, it +can usually be determined what C.O. the calls are coming from. This is also +assuming that the calls are coming from within that Bell company and not +through a long distance carrier (IEC). So if Bell knows what C.O. the calls +are coming from, they simply put the called number on the C.I. list of that +C.O. Anytime anyone in that C.O. calls the number in question another message +is generated showing all the pertinent information. + Now if this where a real time trace, it would only require the assistance +of the SCC and a few commands sent to the appropriate switches (i.e. +NET-LINE). This would give them the path and trunk group numbers of the call +in progress. Naturally the more things the call is going through, the more +people that will need to be involved in the trace. There seems to be a common +misconception about the ability to trace a call through some of the larger +packet networks i.e. Telenet. Well I can assure you, Telenet can track a call +through there network in seconds and all that is needed is the cooperation of +the Bell companies. Call tracing in itself it not that difficult these days. +What is difficult is getting the different organizations together to +cooperate. You have to be doing something relatively serious to warrant +tracing in most cases, however, not always. So if tracing is a concern, I +would recommend using as many different companies at one time as you think is +necessary, especially US sprint, they can't even bill people on time much +less trace a call. But..it is not recommended to call sprint direct, more in +the equal access section. + + ** EQUAL ACCESS + + The first thing you need to understand is that every IEC Inter Exchange +Carrier (long distance company) needs to have an agreement with every LEC +Local Exchange Carrier (your local phone company) that they want to have +access to and from. They have to pay the LEC for the type of service they +receive and the amount of trunks, and trunk use. The cost is high and the +market is a zoo. The LECs have the following options. + + - Feature Group A - + This was the first access form offered to the IECs by the LECs. Basically +whenever you access a IEC by dialing a regular 7 digit number (POTS line) +this is FGA. The IECs' equipment would answer the line interpret your digits +and route your call over their own network. Then they would pick up an +outgoing telephone line in the city you were calling and dial your number +locally. Basically a dial in, dial out situation similar to PC pursuit. + + - Feature Group B - + FGB is 950-xxxx. This is a very different setup from FGA. When you dial +950, your local switch routes the call to the closest Access Tandem (Toll +Switch) in your area. There the IECs have direct trunks connected between the +AT and their equipment. These trunks usually use a form of multiplexing like +T-1 carrier with wink start (2600hz). On the incoming side, calls coming in +from the IEC are basically connected the same way. The IEC MFs into the AT +and the AT then connects the calls. There are alot of deferent ways FGB is +technically setup, but this is the most common. + Tracing on 950 calls has been an area of controversy and I would like to +clear it up. The answer is yes, it is possible. But like I mentioned earlier, +it would take considerable manpower which equals expensive to do this. It +also really depends on how the IEC interface is set up. Many IECs have +trunks going directly to class 5 end offices. So, if you are using a small +IEC, and they figure out what C.O. you are calling from, it wouldn't be out +of the question to put CLID on the 950 number. This is highly unlikely and I +have not heard from reliable sources of it ever being done. Remember, CLID +generates a message every time a call is placed to that number. Excessive +call trace messages can crash a switch. However, I should mention that brut +force hacking of 950s is easily detected and relatively easy to trace. If the +IEC is really have a problem in a particular area they will pursue it. + + - Feature Group C - + FGC is reserved for and used exclusively by AT+T. + + - Feature Group D - + FGD is similar to FGB with the exception that ANI is MFed to the IEC. +The end office switch must have Equal Access capability in order to transmit +the ANI. Anything above a X-bar can have it. I guess I should mention that +it is possible for a X-bar to have it with modifications.FGD can only be +implemented on 800 numbers and if an IEC wants it, they have to buy the whole +prefix. For a list of FGD prefixes see LOD tech journal. You should also be +aware that MCI, Sprint and AT+T are offering a service where they will +transmit the ANI to the customer as well. You will find this being used as a +security or marketing tool by an increasing amount of companies. A good +example would be 800-999-CHAT. + + + + + 1AESS COMMON OUTPUT MESSAGES + -------------------------------------- + +MSG.

He + should talk considering all the people he's robbed of their just revenues in + the past. Come on AP get real, you should know by now there is no way to + stop piracy sell your programs to the legitimate luses, dont whine about + pirates doing what you've been doing for so damn long.

Since AP never came + through with Disk-Fer II, we've had to deal with Catsend for the year, in + other words it's been a real bad year, and when you want to send anything + out of state its back to disk-fer. + + A] Personal Info: Made a fair attempt at improving 202 transfer programs with + the advent of catsend 1.0, ruined it from there onwards. + + B] Friends, Minion's, etc. They always have each other.... + + C] Groups Associated with: PPG - Pacific Pirates Guild (cracked 3-4 wares and + dissappeared) + + D] Education level,age: Both in high school, 17-19 + + E] Goals: to learn 6502 suffiecintly well to write catsend 4.0 so that it + actually works. + + F] Hero's : Apex school of 6502 programming + + G] Sysop: Of nothing at all + +--------------------------------------- + + 4] Ali Baba: Actually Ali Baba cant even program, he is just a poor little + rich kid, who wanted to be real good in piracy so he buys wares for people + to crack, & put his name on them. Runs the Arabian Dezert, a pathetic bbs, + a perfect example of what a bbs should not be, spinning cursors, idiotic + modz with a capital z loves rap music, which isnt music at all.

Every ware ever cracked by this group has ***NEVER*** worked right + the first time, it always has to be recracked 20 times. + + +Apple Mafia + + A close second, we are centering on Major Groups, not the small time groups who + have delusions of granduer (High Society). This group is the oldest + surviving pirate group (1979), when it cracks wares they work right, and + everything would be cool, except Why are 90% of this groups members Phreaks? + (BIOC Agent 003, Lord Digital, Big Brother, Tuc, The Phantom, etcetc)? the + only members who ever crack anything are High Technology & Creative Cracker. + This group should maybe go on on a new member drive, or just quit. + +--------------------------------------- +LOSER PHREAKS OF THE YEAR +--------------------------------------- + + 1] And the winner is: BIOC Agent 003.

Come + on get real. + + A] Personal Info: (The phreaks all seem to have a lot of it) BIOC is hated by + a hell of alot of people for many reasons. He is hated by the other elite + phreaks who despise him for giving out information to anyone who will listen + long enough to let him speak. He is hated by MCI Mail for distributing his + files all over it. He is hated by most "Real Phreaks" who think he is a + loser. On the other hand he is worshipped by a incredibly huge following of + total losers. His real first name is Donald.

Is a double loser in the + phreak world as well as the pirate world. Tried to start "EPG" (eastern + pirate's guild) his pathetic attempt at piracy. + + A] Personal Info: Is supposedly one of the business partners of Lord Digital, + resides in 212 or 718, and his major interest in life has to be making a + pain in the ass of himself, is rumored to be a winner in the real world + (meaning he has alot of $$$). His main love in life is money, and making + more of it. + + B] Friend's, Minion's, etc. + + Himself + Lord Digital + The Phantom (ancient pirate who supposedly started the Disk Jockey & The + Connection, is now a reclusive phreak.)

They all show great disdain for the "structured" world of + the new phreak groups (like LOD, *ELITE*, etc) and consider anyone who came + into existance after 1983 a bad joke (ie just about all the new phreaks who + take it seriously) All "No longer give a fuck, because corporate america + beckons". They are being included because of the widespread laugh appeal of + EPG, and because of the fact that alot of them are hated intensly by new + people in the phreak world, (King Blotto, etc) + + D] Education level,age: Collage dropout (or still in collage) Pace University, + 22-23 + + E] Goals: To spend more money in 1985 then he did in 1984. + + F] Heroes : Anyone with more money then him. + + G] Sysop: Remote Sysop of 6-12 boards, which he never calls. + +--------------------------------------- + + 3] Lord Digital: Many people hate him, seems to have a massive superiority + complex. Started 1984 as a major pirate/phreak, seemed to get software 30 + seconds after it was cracked, dissappeared around August. Has an insanely + fanatic following in 212/718 which generates ridiculus rumors. The last of + which was that LD & Paul Maud'Dib were killed in a car wreck. Such bullshit + surfaces on a regular basis. Supposedly has dropped out of the entire BBS + circut because no-one there had anything to say of interest to him. This + pissed off even more people who started to hate him even more, and so on & + on. + + A] Personal Info: Seems to be deaply into mainframes. Rumors surface every + other week that he has written some new killer program, thats not being + given out, etc. I would assume this to be BS, but many people claim to have + seen the said programs, etc. Is supposedly very friendly with various + curropt nynex employees in his home area code of 212 or 718. And along + with Paul Maud'Dib is said to be the leading expert on ESS, and how to make + it do what you want. From what people know about him, he is a "arogant + jerk", has actual friends in organized crime in NY, etc. Saying he's "Well + Connected" with the right (Depending on how you look at it) people would + probably sum it up.

Remote Sysop of 6-12 boards at any given time, which as in the + case of CE, he never calls. + +--------------------------------------- + + 4] Lex Luther: Started the year as a total unknown, became remote sysop of + Plovernet (A old major phreak board, now (you guessed it) dead & buried), + then started adver tising about his new elite bbs "Legion Of Doom". + According to people who knew him before he went on his massive ego-trip + which started the group LOD he doesnt actually know very much about + anything, people just think he does so they feel free to give him more + information. (People on OSUNY, such as The Penguin (217), & Big Brother + support the opion that Lex dosnt really know too much, other phreaks are + either under the misconception that he's great, or hate him intensely + + A] Personal Info: Has alot of connections in the phreak world because just + about everyone who is currently active in the phreak area thinks he is + great. No real connect- ions with any "real world people", Started the + group "Legion Of Doom" (isnt he imaginative?), which seemed to prosper for + about 6 months, & then sort of fell apart. Out of the groups members Paul + Maud'Dib quit, the rest are still in it as far as anyone knows. Lex is + intensely hated by 1000's of phreaks who think he isnt good enough to + warrant all the attention he gets the older phreaks who have dropped out of + the phreak world at large, either never heard of him, or dont care what he's + doing. He surfaces from time to time on public boards, and seems to get + into wars with everyone. Is present- ly running the Legion of Doom BBS, + which is supposedly "lousy"-"great!" since no-one who i talked to has + actually ever been on it, who knows?.

Was a former operator, + suposedly knows alot about boxing (if he was a operator then this should be + true). Is hated by 1000's of people who think he is a loser, is known to + turn in other peoples acounts on TRW, and CBI, is said to have narced on + many people. His allowing Richard Sandza on his supposedly "elite, private + & secure" bbs, seems to greatly support this theory. (for those who dont + know Sandza is the guy who did all those exposing newsweek stories that + wouldnt have been possible with out Blotto's help.)

Also known as "caller ID", ANI, and it's capabilities are widely misunderstood. In this textfile I'm going to try to debunk a few of the myths and false bits of information surrounding ANI. + + +I. HOW DOES ANI WORK? + + ANI is the ability to determine the origin of an incoming call. This is accomplished by decoding an encrypted signal that originates in the caller's ECO (exchange central office). The ECO assigns a different frequency to each individual line. This signal acts as a "fingerprint" used to determine the calls origin. All anyone has to do is decrypt the signal, and they know the number you are calling from. + + With an ESS switching system all signaling is done in-band as opposed to outband signaling (explained later). This means that when you pick up your reciever, as soon as your call passes through your ECO, the encrypted ANI signal is transmitted through the same trunk and line as your voice is. Since it is done in-band, the signal originates in your ECO, and passes through all other switching points en route to the calls destination. + + ANI is nothing new, it's been around for a very long time. Almost as long as ESS itself. However, until recently only a very few people were aware of it's existance, (e.g. The goverenment and Teleco). A common misconception is that if the teleco wants to id your number, they have to send a trace through your line. **WRONG** The instant a two way connection made, anyone with the proper equipment can decrypt your ANI "fingerprint" and determine the origin of the call. + + There are two types of ANI in service right now. That of MCI, and that of AT&T. + + "If" you may ask, "I'm an AT&T subscriber, does that mean that if I call my friend who's on MCI they can't trace me?" + + It's a pleasant daydream, but no, that's untrue. The reason for two seperate types of ANI is due corporate greed and the desire of each company to dominate the potential markets that exist. However, for all practical purposes, you may regard them as one and the same. Since most ANI equipment in use today is compatible with either type of signal. +********************************************************************************rII. WHO HAS ANI? + + The following have ANI capabilties, that is, the equipment for determining the origin of an incoming call: + + All 911 emergency numbers have ANI. As soon as you call 911 they can instantly determine the calls origin. This allows them to better respond to people who need help when their location is unclear. + + The 411 operator also has ANI. She can determine where you are calling from. TSPS operators also have ANI. (They're the ones you get when you dial 0) +I'm not exactly sure which operators have it, and which don't, but I'm pretty sure the intercept operators don't have it and neither do the Alliance op's. + + The U.S. military has ANI. It would be safe to say that any number that can be reached through a TAC dialup, or that is on the AUDIBON military phone network has ANI. It's unclear how many non-military gov. agencies have ANI. But, I would guess that most high level federal agencies have it. That means FBI, NSA, CIA, BATF, etc. + + Obviously the Phone company has ANI. Not only does that include the operators that I've already mentioned, but also possibly their buisness offices and billing centers. And, for those of you who are fond of hacking AT&T's COSMOS system; I hate to say it, but whenever someone makes a faulty logon to COSMOS, their number is automatically recorded. Telenet, which is now called SprintNet also has ANI capabilities. However, it doesn't work quite the same way as normal ANI. This subject may be included in an upcoming file, but for now let it suffice to say that SprintNet is relatively safe to hack. + + Finaly, there's the question of the private sector. Very few private sector firms have ANI. Most of the exceptions lie within the Telecom industry. For example the Tymnet co. has ANI. Tymnet is a privately owned and operated corporation. However, since as we all know, Tymnet has it's dick up Ma Bell's ass, they too have ANI just like the phone co. +***************************************************************************** + +III. WHAT IF THE PLACE I'M CALLING DOESN'T HAVE ANI? + + Let's say for instance, you were calling your friend from the back woods of Montana, which still uses the old SxS switching system. They couldn't trace the call because everybody knows that only ESS switching systems have ANI, right? + + Right, but that doesn't mean that they can't trace your call using ANI. +Recently a feature was developed called "ANI Kickback". This feature allows ANI to work in places that aren't equipped with ANI! Heres how it works: + + When the phone co. wants to identify someone who is calling from a location that doesn't have ANI, they will send the ANI kickback signal. +This signal will travel from it's destination, and trace the path of your call all the way to the ECO where it originated from. So, basically it's just going the reverse path of ANI. Instead of originating on your end, it comes from the recieving end and then comes to you. They can't find the exact phone number with this method, but once they find your ECO, they'll just use the old fashioned method like you see in the movies. + + The same applies for international callers. If you are calling from an International location that isn't running ESS, they can still use ANI kickback to find your number. +******************************************************************************** IV. WHAT ABOUT THE "CALLER ID" SERVICE BEING OFFERED? + + I've been hearing a lot of talk lately about a "caller id" service that is to be made available to individuals. Some of the supposed functions that this system is going to be able to perform are "caller id" and "call back". + + The rumors that have been circulating are based on a new service called ISDN that is currently under development by AT&T. ISDN stands for Integrated Services Digital Network, and has been under development for the last 10 years. + + Right now, ISDN is available only in a few selected test sights in NJ and CA. However, by late 93 or early 94, ISDN should be available to almost everybody. + + The main difference between ISDN and service being presently offered is the method of signaling. All signaling done on ESS is in-band. That means that all signals intended for the switching equipment are carried overe the same line as the caller's voice. It is because of this that "Boxing" is possible. + + ISDN will use out-band signaling for all of it's operational functions. Each household or company that subscribes will have a total of three lines coming in. The A and B lines will be accessed by the customer. One will carry his voice, the other will carry data transmissions. Hence, it will be possible to talk to someone will uploading them a file. Line C will be invisible to the user, but it will carry all the instructions for the phone companies equipment, like the 2600 hz tone and all MF tones. This is going to put an interesting twist on "Boxing" in the future. + + ISDN represents a revolution in Telecomunications, presenting hiritho unheard of resources. AT&T has recently started an advertising campaigne which describes features such being able to read books over your computer ect. Features like being able to call someone back by pressing #69 and the like are all part of ISDN. The full features of ISDN will be the subject of a future article by me. But for now we'll just stay focused on the "caller id" feature. + + The new caller ID at home being offered is none other than our old friend ANI, which has been around for years. As said before, the ANI signature originates at the ECO of the caller, and travels with the call all the way to it's destination. The new service being offered would provide each subscriber with the a small LCD panel on their phone. When a call comes in, even before you picked up the phone you would be able to read the callers number, the time and his home address. + + A recent court decision in CA ruled the caller ID feature unconstitutional, stating that it was an invasion of privacy. The court ordered the phone company to provide an option that would mask the signal for those who wanted it at no additional charge. This is small consolation however, since that option does exactly what I said, which is to "mask" the signal. Like we said, the ANI signal originates in the callers ECO and follows the call all the way to it's destination. The feature spoken of, which would allow a caller to have his ANI shut off, is really only blocking the ANI signal. This is done by sending an accompanying signal over the phone line, which tells the reciever's "caller id" unit not to ID the call. Sounds good on paper, but as you can guess, anyone and his uncle could figure out the frequency of the masking signal and block it out or scramble it. Or, they could alter their units to disregard the signal accompanying the ANI. +********************************************************************************iV. MISC QUESTIONS + +1. Is it possible to scramble the ANI signal on your phone line so that it can't be decrypted? + + No, it is not possible, At least not from your house. As was said earlier ANI doesn't originate in your house. It is added by your ECO. This is a mundane detail since all calls, even those within the same exchange pass through the ECO. This does mean however, that unless you actually tamper with the switching equipment, you don't even have access to your ANI signal. + +2. Is ANI still in effect when you use a Blue Box? + + No, When you are Blue Boxing the ANI signal is not carried over the line. This is because after you seize the trunk, the switching equipment thinks you have hung up, and so they discontinue the signal. Since you are not authorized to use the line to begin with, and they don't know you are there; technicaly your not even making the call. However, before you get all excited, remember that the telephone company can detect the use of a Blue Box and nail you for that, so it's really irrelevant. + +3. What about Black Boxing? + + Yes, when a Black Box is in use, the ANI signal is enabled. Because the Black Box is not on the callers end of the phone, but on the recievers end, it has no effect on the caller. When the person being called turns on his box, it is instructing *HIS* ECO to stop billing. However, the callers ECO is still transmitting the ANI signal. +******************************************************************************* + + Lonewolf + +******************************************************************************* + end of file + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/textfiles.com/phreak/m0dzmen.hum b/textfiles.com/phreak/m0dzmen.hum new file mode 100644 index 00000000..4c1f14ee --- /dev/null +++ b/textfiles.com/phreak/m0dzmen.hum @@ -0,0 +1,214 @@ +,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,. +,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,The Travelling M0dzmen Part II.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,., +,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,., + +Presented by + Dick Cheese and Stu! + + Those two lovalble chums from Gastric Disorders! + + THIS IS THE FINAL EPISODE OF THE FAMED TRAVELLING MODSMEN, IT HAS BEEN LONG +AWAITED BY MANY A COMPUTER DUDEZ! + + *THIS FILE CONTAINS MATERIAL WHICH MAY BE CONSIDERED OFFENSIVE TO CIRCLE JERKS +FANS' OR TO THOSE WHO WEAR COMBAT BOOTS!

"I had a +feeling I'd find you here" said Wink. "Wink you should'nt be here, it's too +dangerous for you here, the Controller is after us, and we fear the Gonif may be +already dead said The Underdog.

The Swindler, being the only +m0dsman left with a computer quickly took that suspicious disk left by Wink and +booted it up, it seemed like an innocent copy of Strip Poker, but as Suzi and +Melissa got down to the buff, The Swindler's eyes began to tear, the others +being of the keen sort, quickly shielded their eyes, but it was too late for the +Swindler, he fell into a cold sweat and began to tremble, he fell to the floor +in convulsions, this shock to his measely body took its toll as he quickly +succumbed to this dreaded torture.

Then, th Masked +Adventurer screamed, "hey, there's the gonif, and he's got a whole lot o' people +with him." As the gonif approached the m0dsmen came upon some familiar faces. +With the gonif, was Klepto, Red Devil, The Intellectual, and Mental Marvel. +"What are all you guys doing here? said the Pantheon feeling sort of blue, for +he had missed a great Chinese Opera and an evening alone with Commo-holic.

"all of us +are in a shitload of truoble, and these guys volunteered to help" spewed the +Gonif. "First of all we had better get some supplies for i feel this is gonna +be a long night for us all" said Mental Marvel. Down the street at Dutch Treat +Computer Center they are having a half price sale, and we could stock up on +disks, a few more computers and some modems and maybe a printer for the long +night ahead of us. "Good idea" said the Underdog, "let's go!" Down at the +computer center, The Intellectual reached for a box of Opus Affordable disks, +"Stop!" said the gonif, as he gave the intellectual a shiny new box of Gold +Label Premium Datalife Diskettes, "This aint no amateur two-drive sysop, this is +the controller and we need only the best! Then he summoned for Red Devil, "go +get a new Gibson Light Pen System" said the gonif, "do you really think we'll +need that?" replied Red Devil. "this is the controller we'll need everything we +can lay our grubby paws on". "o.k but we'll gonna need some i.d. for stuff +that powerful, Klepto just barely made it through with a 212 card" said Red +Devil. "dont worry if the cashier gives you any trouble bribe her with some MCI +codes and if she still wont come around then show her a picture of John la garga +in the nude, but be forewarned, there not bor guys with weak stomachs. + + "We've got to hurry" said the Underdog, "Hatsuki Kang is waiting for us at the +Berlin Wall, he's gonna give us the german passports we need to get to our new +hideout at the Hoffbrau House, plus i hear he's got a new crack of Rescue +Raiders, complete with all the cheats" stated the Underdog. The rest of the +gang eager to get their hands on the new crack of rescue raiders had a already +piled in the Partridge Family Bus they had rented from Reuben Kincaid who not +only being the Partridges manager was also a good friend of Klepto's. The ride +to the wall was long and tirThe ride to the wall was long and tiring, but thanks +to the mobil cellular phone installed in the bus, each of the m0dzman's were +able to log on the board of their choice. + + "What's the matter with Masked Adventurer, i noticed he doesn't have his usual +cheesy smile?" questioned the G-man. "Oh dont mind him, he's just sore because +he didnt get validated on that 20 meg french board, replied The Cat Burglar. +Then from the back of the bus, a whiny voice blared out- "DUDEZ, IM SOOOO +STONED!" it was the masked adventurer, the rest of the gang just shook their +heads in disbelief. + + Then Mental Marvel who was driving the bus said, "dudes, there's two guys +ahead dressed in orange pants and they're wearing huge foam cowboy hats, and i +think but i'm not positive, i think they have armadillos in their pants. "Well +they look like hearty souls, whadayasay we pick them up?" said the gonif "SURE" +replied the gang. The two guys boarded each of them wearing a shirt with a +computerized portrait of themselves on it. The taller of the two was carrying a +large shopping bag that had printed on it the words "lamark's" inside were fish +trimmings, the parts of fish usually discarded, the two odd travellers +periodically munched on the contents of this bag, the smaller traveller, +introduced himself as Stu! and was carrying a large boom box on his shoulder +which was blaring out gospel tunes at a beaver pitch. "hey we're hiding out +from the controller and were gonna have a big showdown with him, you guys wanna +come along?" asked the Specialist. + + The taller one who revealed himself as dick cheese barked "No way, face it, +you guys are tacky, we're roadies with Mel Torme' on his European Tour. The two +began mooning each other and juggling pork rhinds, the terrified m0dzmen moved +to the rear of the bus. "Gee dick", said stu!, "what a bunch of zeroes we wound +up with" "no kiddin'" said dick, "did you notice not one of them is wearing an +Ann b. Davis wig." Then dick said to the drive mental marvel, "hey driver, you +can just drop us off here at this bowling alley, Stu! and I have to pick up a +few new pairs of shoes. As the bus stopped the two odd travellers got out and +vanished into the smartly decorated vinyl padded bowling alley, gone as quickly +as they came. + + Later at the wall, the gang met up with Hatsuki just as planned. "hey guys, +over here!" yelled Hatsuki Kang as he swept the dust off his new wooden shoes. +"You got those phony passports, hatsuki?" asked The Gonif. "forget about that, +what about that new crack of rescue raiders?" inquired the g-man. "Oh yah, i +forgot to tell you guys, that new crack of rescue Raiders is a Sinclair 1000 +version, sorry guyz!" said Hatsuki in an apologetic tone! "Yah, but what about +the passports, are they any good?" asked the gonif. "well" said hatsuki, +"everybody except The Masked Adventurers is ok, its just that the only person +that we could find that matched his height is Emmanuel Lewis, so he'll have to +double as him, i brought along some grease paint and a short cut fro, so put it +on!" + + At the checkpoint at the wall, the m0dzmen waited anxiously, "I sure hope they +believe i'm Julian Lennon" vomitted The g-man". "Relax, you're a shoo-in stated +the Cat Burglar. All of the m0dzmen made it through ok, and later that evening, +those who had brought along a change of underwear, decided now was as good a +time as any to change. The g-man however decided to search for a store that +sold plain white t-shirts and black op's, as that was the only outfit he has +ever been seen wearing. + + At their hotel, the m0dzmen unpacked and looked forward to a leisurely evening +wearing their newly purchased dearfoams and a nice night of some advanced d&d. +But for the Intellectual it would be anything but leisurely. After stumbling +from room to room looking for his own, the Intellectual arrived at what he +thought was his own, but upon entering he saw an evil sight that would prove +fatal. What he saw was John De la Garza nude except for a leather ball cup and +a butt plug, and he was holding a huge leather whip. For the next eight hours +the youth was forced to engage in torrid 3-ways with shaven yaks and a monkey, +all as John de la garza was whipping him and yelling M0dz, m0dz, where are the +m0dz. But the Intellectual was strong, and with stood the punishment and even +learned to like it, then he succumbed to the pain, and fell to the floor white +as a ghost and bleeding from his rectum. + + The hotel Management could not pay the janitor enough to clean up the room and +to this day the room remains in the same state, serving as a monument to the +world of the destructive force of the Controller. + + The next day after a futile search for the Intellectual, the m0dzmen had to +give up and leave, each of them exiting the hotel carrying an armload of hotel +towels and a few ashtrays. Mental Marvel being the efficient type already had +the Bus ready for boarding and Red Devil being the sentimental type had built a +shrine in the back of the bus for their gone but not forgotten chum, complete +with an 8 x 10 portrait of him, a copy of his board, and a video-cassette +entitled "Muscle Men of Muscle Beach meet Charles Atlas which the Intellectual +was never able to fully explain. Then Klepto approached the shrine, and laid a +box of 10 disks that they had purchased the day before and said "This is for you +Intellectual, so that you may continue your quest of k-k00l new ware-ez in +another life and world. + + Now the all of the M0dzmen were on the bus and roarin' to go. "It's off to +the Hoffbrau House, our new hideout" said Mental Marvel as he finished biting on +his toenails. As The Specialist rumaged through the m0dzmen's item looking for +the anal intruder kit he brought along he stumbled upon something un- familiar. +"Hey guys, look at this bag i found" he said with a snidely grin upon his mug. +It was a large shopping bag, and on the side was printed "McJeeber Novelties". +"Those two cornballs we picked up yesterday must have left it on the bus." +"Let's have a look at that bag" said the gonif. "There could be some stuff we +might need and those two freaks will never know its gone. What came out of that +bag is a story in itself. The Gonif asked for The Underdog's help in removing +the various items. The Underdog removed the first item as the others looked on +in awe. It was a box and inside was a fake chinese dinner. The Gonif then +removed a dribble Petri Dish. "These are all gags and practical jokes" said the +Gonif, the bag is full of them".

The box is always on the +pole nearest the briging head, where the line comes up. Look for +the 'Call before you Dig - Underground cable' stickers.. + + The case box is hinged, so if you want to climb the pole, +you can open it with no problems.

Use it like I mentioned +before. The terminals (8 or so) will be in 2 horizontal rows of +sets. The extra wires that are just 'hanging there' are +provisions for extra lines to residences (1 extra line per house, +thats why the insane charge for line #3!) If its the box for +your house also, have fun and swap lines with your neighbor! +'Piggyback' them and wreak havoc on the neighborhood (It's +eavesdropping time...)

Just follow the wire from the telephone pole) +or in the basement. It has a terminal for all the lines in the +building. Use it just like any other termination box as before. +Usually says 'Bell system' or similar. Has up to 20 terminals on +it (usually.) the middle ones are grounds (forget these). The +wires come from the cable to one row (usually the left one), with +the other row of terminals for the other row of terminals for the +building fone wire pairs. The ring (-) wire is usually the top +terminal if the set in the row (1 of 10 or more), and the tip is +in the clamp/screw below it. This can be reversed, but the cable +pair is always terminated one-on-top-of-each- other, not on the +one next to it. (I'm not sure why the other one is there, +probably as aprovision for extra lines) Don't use it though, it +is usually to close to the other terminals, and in my experiences +you get a noisy connection. + +Final note: Almost every apartment, business, hotel, or anywhere +there is more than 2 lines this termination lines this +termination method is used.

Only 2 (or 4, the 2 top terminals are hooked in parallel +with the same line) terminals, and is very easy to use. This can +be used to add more lines to your house or add an external line +outside the house. + + --------- + TEST SETS + --------- + +Well, now you can consider yourself a minor expert on the +terminals and wiring of the local telephone network. Now you can +apply it to whatever you want to do.. Here's another helpful +item: + +How to make a Basic Test-Set and how to use it to dial out, +eavsdrop, or seriously tap and record line activity. + +These are the (usually) orange hand set fones used by Telco +technicians to test lines. To make a very simple one, take any +Bell (or other, but I recommend a good Bell fone like a princess +or a trimline. gte flip fones work excllently, though..) fone and +follow the instructions below. + +Note: A 'black box' type fone mod will let you tap into their +line, and with the box o, it's as if you werent there. they can +recieve calls and dial out, and you can be listening the whole +time! very useful. With the box off, you have a normal fone test +set. + +Instructions: + +A basic black box works well with good results. Take the cover +off the fone to expose the network box (Bell type fones only). +The terminal should have a green wire going to it (orange or +different if touch tone - doesnt matter, its the same thing). +Disconnect the wire and connect it to one pole of an SPST switch. +Connect a piece of wire to the other pole of the switch and +connect it to the terminal. Now take a 10k hm 1/2 watt 10% +resistor and put it between the terminal ad the +terminal, which should have a blue and a white wire going to it +(different for touch tone). It should look like this: + + +-----Blue wire---------- + ! +----White wire-----! + ! + 10k Resistor + ! + ! +--Green wire-- !---- + ! ! + SPST + + +What this does in effect is keep the hookswitch / dial pulse +switch (F to RR loop) open while holding the line high with the +resistor. This gives the same voltage effect as if the fone was +'on-hook', while the 10k ohms holds the voltage right above the +'off hook' threshold (around 22 volts or so, as compared to 15-17 +or normal off hook 48 volts for normal 'on-hook'), giving + +Continued In: Ma Bell Part II + + + + +Disclaimer notice: + +This file is presented as an Informational text file only. +Do not try any of the things mentioned as some of them +are illegal to do.

Solder alligator clips to the lug. The wire +itself is 'tinsel' wrapped in rayon, and doesnt solder well. +Inside the one handset, remove the light socket (if it has one) +and install a small slide or toggle switch (Radio Shack's micro- +miniature spst works well). Locate the connection of the ring +and the tip wires on the pc board near where the jack is located +at the bottom of the handset. (The wires are sometimes black or +brow instead of red and green, respectively). Cut the foil and +run 2 pieces of wire to your switch. In parallel with the switch +add a .25 uf 200 VDC capacitor (mylar, silvered mica, ceramic, +not an electrolytic). When the switch is closed, the handset +functions normally. With the switch in the other position, you +can listen without being heard. + +Note: To reduce the noise involved in connecting the clips to a +line, add a switch selectable 1000 ohm 1/2 watt resistor in +series with the tip wire. Flip it in circuit when connecting, and +once on the line, flip it off again. (or just use the 'line disc- +onect' type switch as in the type 2 test set (above)). Also +avoid touching the alligator clips to any metal parts or other +terminals, for i causes static on the line and raises poeple's +suspicions. + + --------- + RECORDING + --------- + + If you would like to record any activity, use test set 1 or +2 above (for unattended recording of >all< line activity), or +just any test set if you are going to be there to monitor when +they are dialing, talking, etc. + +Place a telephone pickup coil (I recommend the Becoton T-5 TP +coil or equivalent) onto the test set, and put the TP plug into +the mic. jack of any standard tape recorder. Hit play, rec, and +pause. Alternate pause when you want to record (I dont think +anyone should have any difficulty with this at all...) + + + +Well, if you still can't make a test set or you dont have the +parts, there's still hope. Alternate methods: + +1> Find a bell test set in a manhole or a bridging head and + 'Borrow it indefinately... + +2> According to Sir Francis Drake, test sets can be purchased + from: + + Techni-Tool + + 5 Apollo Road + Box 368 + Plymouth Meeting + PA., 19462 + + Ask for catalog #28 + + They are usually $300 - $600, and are supposed to have MF +dialing capability as well as TT dialing.

MacsBug is a system + +extension that can help you debug your programs, it is free and is +available +from Apple Computer. Note that the name MacsBug is an acronym for +Motorola +advanced computer systems debuger. + +This guide is a list of "tricks," but it is just the tip of the iceberg +of +the cool stuff you can do. The guide will start off with some easy topics + +aimed towards beginners and then it will go into some more advanced +topics. +All of them are cool. Hopefully after reading this the help part of +MacsBug +won't be so intimidating. + +Number Conversion + +MacsBug can be used as a quick hexadecimal to decimal converter, and vise + +versa. I used to use a calculator DA, but now I just simply drop into +MacsBug and type in the number I want to convert and hit return. + +Example: You want to find out what 0x3E is in decimal. When in MacsBug, +type +in $3E and hit return. This will be the output: + +$3E = $0000003E #62 #62 '***>' + +The first number ($0000003E) is the value in hexadecimal that you just +typed in. The second number is what the value is as an unsigned decimal, +the third is the signed version. The set of characters in single quotes +('***>') is +the ASCII representation of the number, the null character is denoted +with +the bullet. + +You can find out the decimal/hexadecimal equivalent of any ASCII +character +by typing the letter balanced between two single quotes. + +Example: Type in: 'A' and hit return. You will get #65 as your answer. + +By the way-The dollar sign means that the number is in hexadecimal. Much +like C's 0xXX notation, $XX is how hexadecimal numbers are represented in + +assembly. Numbers in MacsBug will default to hexadecimal, except for when + +the hexadecimal number is a command or a regster. For example: "ea" is +the +command to restart the current application, when you type in ea it will +try +this command, you must type in $ea in order to avoid this conflict. + +Similarly, you have to type a # in order to express decimal numbers. You +can +use the conversion method just described (type in the number, hit return) +to +find out a decimal number's corresponding hexadecimal number and ASCII +character. + +What Was My Monitor Size? + +Here's an impresive way to show a friend how many pixels horizontally and +vertically they have on their monitor (other than looking at the manual, +or something silly like that). Drop into MacsBug and type in: dm +@@MainDevice GDevice. This will show you the struct members of the +MainDevice (which happens to be a GDevice), you should see the gdPMap +indented, three lines below it will be bounds with four numbers to the +right of it. These four numbers are the top, left, bottom and right +coordinates of the monitor, respectively. + +The dm command is short for display memory, after you type in dm type in +the address of the memory you want to display. MainDevice is a system +global that is a handle (a pointer to a pointer) to the main graphics +device (the one with the menu bar). The two @@ symbols are how you +express +double-indirection in MacsBug, in C you use "*" to express indirection +(i.e. +de-referencing) which is in put in prefix notation. People who program in + +Pascal can use the postfix indirection notation by saying "dm +MainDevice^^ +GDevice". + +After you give the dm command the address, you give it the format you +want +to see it diplayed as. You can use any number for the number of bytes you + +want displayed, or you can say "Rect", for instance, to see the first +eight +bytes of the memory in the form of a rectangle. You can also use: Byte, +Word, Long, SignedByte, SignedWord, SignedLong, UnsignedByte, +UnsignedWord, UnsignedLong, PString, CString, and PixMap, GDevice, +RGBColor, CGrafPort and any number of other templates you may have +installed. + +Example: if you know a rectangle is at address $00058EA6 and you want to +see what its value is, all you have to do is type in "dm $00058EA6 Rect". + + +By the wayA template a layout of memory that MacsBug knows about (such +as a C struct or a Pascal record), you can type "tmp" to find out all of +the +templates your version of MacsBug has. + +Don't you hate it when you are working in an application, minding your +own +business, when all-of-a-sudden the program quits and the system tells you +an error of type X occured? There are many applications made where you +can look up these numbers and find out what went wrong. MacsBug can also +do this, all you have to do is type error and then the error number. Keep +in mind that the error numbers the system gives you are decimal (not +hexadecimal), so you should put a "#" in front of them. + +Example: The sytem tells you: "An error of type 4 has occured," drop into + +MacsBug and type "error#4", MacsBug will then output +"$0004#4zerodivideerror". + +Note: This error feature is not in earlier versions of MacsBug, so you +may +not have it. + +The Simple Calculator You can use MacsBug as a simple calucator. Lets +say +you need to know what seven times seventeen is, type in "#7*#17", and +hit return. The number 119 should now be on your screen. It will be +hidden in +the line: + +#7 * #17 = $00000077 #119 #119 'w' + +The lower case letter w is the 119th ASCII character, as the previous +line +shows us. Let's try another example, how about five plus six? You would +type +in "#5 + #6", and hit return. You should then see: + +#5 + #6 = $0000000B #11 #11 '' + +MacsBug can also handle multiple operations at a time, like five plus six + +plus ten. If you want to say something like five plus six times four +remember to put parentheses around the apropiate numbers. MacsBug has no +concept of orders of operations and it's quite possible for it to add +before +it multiplies. So say this: "#5+ (#6*#4)", which equals #29, instead +of +"#5+#6*#4", which equals #44. + +You can use +, -, *, /, MOD for arithmetic operations. You can use AND +(or +&), OR (or |), NOT (or !), XOR for boolean operations. And you can use = +(or +==), <> (or !=), <, >, <=, >= for equality operations. + +If you type in "#5+#4=#9" MacsBug will give you a one, meaning that +the equality you just said was true. If you said "#5+#4=#10", Macsbug +will give you a zero, meaning that the equality five plus four equals ten +is +false. + +Moving the Cursor Here is a cool trick to move the cursor. It done by +setting memory, the mouse tracking variables specifically. But I'd like +to +talk about setting memory beforehand. There are four commands in MacsBug +to set memory: SB (set byte), SW (set word), SL (set long), and SM (set +memory). You give each of these commands an address first, and then the +values of what you want to set the memory to. Example: There is a byte +that +you have the address of that you want to set to ten, you should type in: + +SB $XXXXXXXX #10 + +where $XXXXXXXX is the address of the byte. Another example: There is a +long +that you have the address of that you want to set to "$4D616320", you +should +type in: + +SL $XXXXXXXX $4D616320 + +again, where $XXXXXXXX is the address of the long. You can use the SM +command the same way in the case that the length you want to set is not +1, 2 +or 4 bytes long. You can use SW when you want to set a word (2 bytes). + +If you are familiar with Points (the vertical and horizontal coordinates +of +a point on the graf plane), you should know that they take up four bytes +in +memory. The high two bytes (the high word) is the vertical coordinate, +and +the low two bytes (the low word) is the horizontal coordinate. There are +two +global variables that are both Points, one called MTemp, the other called + +RawMouse, these variables are the information the Macintosh uses for +controling the cursor. You can set these points by using SL. + +There is also a byte called CrsrNew, set this byte to 1 when you want to +notify the Macintosh that the cursor posistions have changed. This is how + +you move the mouse to point (5,6), near the upper-left corner of the +screen: + +SL MTemp $00060005 SL RawMouse $00060005 SB CrsrNew #1 + +Make sure MTemp and RawMouse have the same value. Now type Command-G to +see your newly moved cursor. + +Recovering from a Hung Serial Port Sometimes when you're AppleTalking or modeming and something goes wrong +(like you switch the modem off while data is being sent to it), the +comptuer +will hang. The mouse will still move, but clicking will have no effect. +Here's the solution: + +Drop into MacsBug. You should see the routine name "_vSyncWait" plus +something as the current location. If you don't, you probably hit the +system +while it was doing something else. Hit Command-G to get back out of +MacsBug, and try again. After a few tries you should find _vSyncWait. + +_vSyncWait is the routine that the system uses to wait for some input +from a serial port. If you can read assembly code, you'll see that it's +pretty +simple. Here's the dump of the significant part: + ++0000 4080BB8C MOVE.W $0010(A0),D0 | +3028 0010 ++0004 4080BB90 BGT.S _vSyncWait ; 4080BB8C | +6EFA + +Register A0 is pointing to a system data structure, in which a word will +be +cleared when the awaited input arrives. The MOVE.W instruction grabs this + +word and puts it into register D0. The BGT.S instruction then Branches +back +to the MOVE.W if the byte it just fetched is Greater Than zero. So it +happens that this byte is never going to arrive for whatever reason, but +the +computer is going to wait for eternity. The secret to fixing this is to +use +Command-T to go step along until the MOVE.W instruction is displayed as +the +current instruction. Now use the sw command to set "@(A0+10)" to zero: + +sw @(A0+10) 0 + +Hit Command-T twice more. The MOVE.W instruction will take the zero you +just set into memory and put it in D0, so the D0 display on the left of +the +screen should have its right four digits all zeros. Then when you execute + +the BGT.S instruction, it should not go back to the MOVE.W since zero is +not +greater than zero. + +Hit Command-G to go. If this was the only byte the software was waiting +for, then it should continue running, although it may go a little crazy +because +it's been suddenly disconnected from whatever peripheral it was talking +to. +Quit the program, fix your hardware, and try again. Shameless Strobe Light Trick + +Okay, this is a really useless trick, but it's cool for at least a little + +while. Go into MacsBug. If you have a single screen type in "swap", the +console should then say "Display will be swapped after each trace or +step", +if it doesn't type in "swap" again. Swapping is when the screen switches +from the MacsBug console to the normal Macintosh screen. We want it to +swap after each trace or step, which is what we just did up above. Now we +need it to step, thereby swapping the screen, the "s" command (the step +command) is just what we need to do this. We want this to happend more +than once, so we type in: "s 100", which steps 100 times. Enjoy the show. + + +Warning: Swapping with a number like 1000 can render some machines, like +my PowerBook 165c, useless until it is all over with, so keep the numbers +low or the patience high. + +GetKeys from within MacsBug + +There is a routine in the Macintosh toolbox called GetKeys, this routine +is +great for game programmers who want a reasonably fast way to read the +keyboard, without using (slower) events. The problem for C and C++ +programmers using this routine is that the KeyMap type is a Pascal packed + +array. Each bit of the packed array is designated to a certain key, the +bit +is set to 1 if the key is down, and set to zero if the key is up. This +array +takes up 16 bytes (128 bits). C cannot access the elements of the packed +array like a normal array, so the programmer has to mask out some bits to + +get the result that he/she wants. There is a desk accessory named +"GetKeys," +that is made just for this case. The problem is, you might not be on a +machine with that program on it. + +Good thing MacsBug is able to help us. Here is how you locate the bit for + +the letter "M": go into MacsBug and type in "dm KeyMap", but don't hit +return just yet. Now strike the escape key, this should swap the screen. +Press and hold down the letter "M" on your keyboard, this should swap the + +screen back. Now, while still holding down "M", press return. This is +what +you should see: + +Displaying memory from 0174 +00000174 0000 0000 0040 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 @ + +The number "00000174" is the address of the KeyMap global variable. The +next set of numbers 00000000 is the first element of the C version of +the array, in other words, its: "keyMap[0]". The next set of numbers +"00400000" is the second element of the array, keyMap[1]. The next group +of 8 hexadecimal digits is the third element (keyMap[2]), and the last +group of 8 hexadecimal digits is the fourth element (keyMap[3]). The +series of +bullets is what the array looks like in ASCII form. In the second group +("00400000") there is a 4 in the midst of all of those zeros. This is +the +bit that is set to 1 whenever the "M" key is held down. So, to see if the + +"M" is down from within C we will do this: + +KeyMap keyMap; +GetKeys( keyMap ); + +if( keyMap[1] & 0x00400000 ) +{ DoMKeyDown(); + +The Lost Paper + +I was once typing in some text in a word processor, when the computer +suddenly crashed on me. I didn't save a copy on to the hard-disk yet. I +had +to restart the computer and type it all over again. But wait, the paper +is +still in the machine I thought to myself. You see, when you restart, all +of +the computer's memory doesn't get cleared, it just stays to what it was +until it gets replaced with other information, much like the behavior of +a +hard-disk. I had one thing going for me, I had MacsBug installed. Here +are +the steps I took to recover the paper: + +First, I logged all of the work I was doing in MacsBug to a file. I did +this +using the log command. All you need to give the log command is the name +of +the new file to log to. I named it MyPaper. Good, now all of my MacsBug +session will be on the hard-disk so I can open it up with a normal text +editor when I'm done. + +Next, I needed to find where in memory my paper was. I did this using the + +"f" command. The first two parameters for this command is the range in +memory in which you want MacsBug to search through. I wanted to search +through all of my memory, which is 8 megs on my machine, so I typed in: +"f0(400*400*8)"any string". Where 0 is the beginning of memory and +8 megs is the top of it. (Note: "400*400" is exactly one megabyte of +memory.) The last parameter is the search string, balanced between two +single quotes. I wanted to pick a distinct string, otherwise I would have + +found other parts of memory, which would take longer to do. I knew the +most +famous mammal, the aardvark, was mentioned in my paper, so I typed in +this +for the find command: + +f 0 (400 * 400 * 8) "aardvark" + +MacsBug then started searching for me. It came up with a small memory +dump of something with the word arrdvark in it, but the words after it +were not mine, which meant that I found another part of memory instead of +my paper. I hit return to tell MacsBug to keep on searching. MacsBug then +came up with a dump from my paper: + +Searching for "aardvark" from 00000000 to 007FFFFF +00358200 6161 7264 7661 726B 8000 0000 0000 002C aardvark answer + +Which was very good news indeed! This told me that the string "aardvark +answer" could be found at address 00358200. (I got this address from the +leftmost number given.) + +Now that I knew where it was, the rest my task would be easy. I used +MacsBug's display ASCII command to show me what came after it, by typing +in: dma 00358200. You might not have this command, in which case you'll +have to use plain old dm, instead of dma. I hit return until my paper was +done beingdisplayed. + +Note: You can subract a number from the address to see what was before +it. + +I then typed in "log" again, which closed my log. Finally, I went out of +MacsBug and opened the log file with SimpleText. Remember, the log had my + +whole session not just the paper so I had to delete the addresses and +such +from it, which really isn't that hard to do, if you know how to use your +mouse and your delete key efficiently. The paper was saved. + +Warning: In your search you might stumble upon MacsBug's very own memory, + +with its own copy of your search string. To get out of this loop, start +the +search over again with the base search address being outside of MacsBug's + +memory. + +Credits + +The authors of this are Macneil Shonle and Dustin Mitchell of The Syzygy +Cult, a programming group that makes games and utilities.

Try and absorb the theory behind encoding/reading. This will help +you greatly if you ever decide to build your own encoder/reader from scratch +(more on that later). Ferromagnetic materials are substances that retain +magnetism after an external magnetizing field is removed. This principle is +the basis of all magnetic recording and playback. Magnetic poles always occur +in pairs within magnetized material, and magnetic flux lines emerge from the +north pole and terminate at the south. The elemental parts of megstripes are +ferromagnetic particles about 20 millionths of an inch long, each of which acts +like a tiny bar magnet. These particles are rigidly held together by a resin +binder. The magnetic particles are made by companies which make coloring +pigments for the paint industry, and are usually called pigments. When making +the magstripe media, the elemental magnetic particles are aligned with their +North-South axes parallel to the magnetic stripe by means of an external +magnetic fields while the binder hardens. + +These particles are actually permanent bar magnets with two stable polarities. +If a magnetic particle is placed in a strong external magnetic field of the +opposite polarity, it will reverse its own polarity (North becomes South, +South becomes North). The external magnetic field strength required to +produce this flip is called the coercive force, and is a measure of the +coercivity of the particle. Magnetic pigments are available in a variety of +coercivities (more on that later on). + +An unencoded magstripe is actually a series of North-South magnetic domains +(see Figure 1). The adjacent N-S fluxes merge, and the entire stripe acts as a +single bar magnet with North and South poles at its ends. + +Figure 1: N-S.N-S.N-S.N-S.N-S.N-S.N-S.N-S <-particles in stripe +--------- + represented as-> N-----------------------------S + + +However, if a S-S interface is created somewhere on the stripe, the fluxes will +repel, and we get a concentration of flux lines around the S-S interface (same +with N-N interface). Encoding consists of creating S-S and N-N interfaces, and +reading consists of (you guessed it) detecting 'em. The S-S and N-N interfaces +are called flux transitions, or flux reversals. + + ||| ||| <-flux lines +Figure 2: N------------N-N-S-S-----------------S +--------- flux lines -> ||| ||| + + +The external magnetic field used to flip the polarities is produced by a +solenoid, which can reverse its polarity by reversing the direction of current. +An encoding head solenoid looks like a bar magnet bent into the shape of a ring +so that the North/South poles are very close and face each other across a tiny +gap. The field of the solenoid is concentrated across this gap, and when +elemental magnetic particles of the magstripe are exposed to this field, they +polarize to the opposite (unlike poles attract). Movement of the stripe past +the solenoid gap during which the polarity of the solenoid is reversed will +produce a single flux reversal (see Figure 3). To erase a magstripe, the +encoding head is held at a constant polarity and the entire stripe is moved +past it. No flux reversals, no data. + + | | <----wires leading to solenoid + | | (wrapped around ring) + /-|-|-\,---Ԍ / \ +Figure 3: | | <----solenoid (has JUST changed polarity) +--------- \ / + \ N S / <---gap in ring..

If the solenoid in Figure 3 were to remain at its +current polarity, no further flux reversals would be created as the magstripe +moves from right to left. But, if we were to change the solenoid gap polarity +>from NS to *SN*, then (you guessed it) a *N-N* flux reversal would instantly be +created. Just remember, for each and every reversal in solenoid polarity, a +single flux reversal is created (commit it to memory). An encoded magstripe is +therefore just a series of flux reversals (NN followed by SS followed by NN). + +DATA! DATA! DATA! That's what you want! How the hell are flux reversals read +and interpreted as data? Another solenoid called a READ HEAD is used to detect +these flux reversals. The read head operates on the principle of +ELECTROMAGNETIC RECIPROCITY: current passing thru a solenoid produces a +magnetic field at the gap, therefore, the presence of a magnetic field at the +gap of a solenoid coil will *produce a current in the coil*! The strongest +magnetic fields on a magstripe are at the points of flux reversals. These are +detected as voltage peaks by the reader, with +/- voltages corresponding to +NN/SS flux reversals (remember, flux reversals come in 2 flavors). + +See Figure 4. + + magstripe---> -------NN--------SS--------NN---------SS------ + +Figure 4: voltage-----> .......+.........-.........+...........-..... +--------- + ---------- ------------- + peak readout--> | | | | + --------| |----------| |---- + + +The "peak readout" square waveform is critical. Notice that the voltage peak +remains the same until a new flux reversal is encountered. + +Now, how can we encode DATA? The most common technique used is known as +Aiken Biphase, or "two-frequency coherent-phase encoding" (sounds impressive, +eh?). First, digest the diagrams in Figure 5. + +Figure 5: ---------- ---------- ---------- +--------- | | | | | | <- peak + a) | |--------| |--------| | readouts + * 0 * 0 * 0 * 0 * 0 * + + + ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- - + | | | | | | | | | | | + b) | |----| |----| |----| |----| |----|,---Ԍ * 1 * 1 * 1 * 1 * 1 * + + ----- ---------- ----- ----- - + | | | | | | | | | + c) | |----| |--------| |----| |----| + + * 1 * 0 * 0 * 1 * 1 * + + +There you have it. Data is encoded in "bit cells," the frequency of which is +the frequency of '0' signals. '1' signals are exactly TWICE the frequency of +'0' signals. Therefore, while the actual frequency of the data passing the +read head will vary due to swipe speed, data density, etc, the '1' frequency +will ALWAYS be TWICE the '0' frequency. Figure 5C shows exactly how '1' and +'0' data exists side by side. + +We're getting closer to read DATA! Now, we're all familiar with binary and how +numbers and letters can be represented in binary fashion very easily. There +are obviously an *infinite* number of possible standards, but thankfully the +American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the International Standards +Organization (ISO) have chosen 2 standards.

Also, the Least Significant Bits are read FIRST +on the strip. See Figure 6. + +The sum of the 1's in each case is odd, thanks to the parity bit.

At the end of the data, an "End +Sentinel" is encountered, which is followed by an "Longitudinal Redundancy +Check (LRC) character.

As you can see, the major +types of cards (ATMs, CC) all follow the same rules more or less. I checked +out a number of security passcards and timeclock entry cards..and they ALL had +random stuff written to Track 2. Track 2 is by FAR the MOST utilized track on +the card. And the format is pretty much always ANSI/ISO BCD. I *did* run into +some hotel room access cards that, when scanned, were GARBLED. They most +likely used a character set other than ASCII (if they were audio tones, my +reader would have put out NOTHING...as opposed to GARBLED data).

And they wanted that +data to be 'invisible' to cardholders. Here are the different card +technologies that were invented and are available today. + +HOLLERITH - With this system, holes are punched in a plastic or paper card and + read optically. One of the earliest technologies, it is now seen + as an encoded room key in hotels. The technology is not secure, + but cards are cheap to make. + +BAR CODE - The use of bar codes is limited. They are cheap, but there is + virtually no security and the bar code strip can be easily damaged. + +INFRARED - Not in widespread use, cards are factory encoded by creating a + "shadow pattern" within the card. The card is passed thru a swipe + or insertion reader that uses an infrared scanner. Infrared card + pricing is moderate to expensive, and encoding is pretty secure. + Infrared scanners are optical and therefore vulnerable to + contamination. + +PROXIMITY - Hands-free operation is the primary selling point of this card. + Although several different circuit designs are used, all proximity + cards permit the transmission of a code simply by bringing the card + near the reader (6-12"). These cards are quite thick, up to + 0.15" (the ABA standard is 0.030"!). + +WIEGAND - Named after its inventor, this technology uses a series of small + diameter wires that, when subjected to a changing magnetic field, + induce a discrete voltage output in a sensing coil. Two rows of + wires are embedded in a coded strip. When the wires move past + the read head, a series of pulses is read and interpreted as binary + code. This technology produces cards that are VERY hard to copy + or alter, and cards are moderately expensive to make. Readers + based on this tech are epoxy filled, making them immune to weather + conditions, and neither card nor readers are affected by external + magnetic fields (don't worry about leaving these cards on top of + the television set...you can't hurt them!). Here's an example of + the layout of the wires in a Wiegand strip: + + ||| || || | ||| | || || | || || | | || + | | | | | | |||| || |||| || + + The wires are NOT visible from the outside of the card, but if + your card is white, place it in front of a VERY bright light source, ---Ԍ and peer inside. Notice that the spacings between the wires is + uniform. + +BARIUM FERRITE - The oldest magnetic encoding technology (been around for 40 + yrs!) it uses small bits of magnetized barium ferrite that are + placed inside a plastic card. The polarity and location of + the "spots" determines the coding. These cards have a short + life cycle, and are used EXTENSIVELY in parking lots (high + turnover rate, minimal security). Barium Ferrite cards are + ONLY used with INSERTION readers. + +There you have the most commonly used cards. Magstripes are common because +they are CHEAP and relatively secure. + +-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- +_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ + + ** Magstripe Coercivity ** + +-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- +_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ + + +Magstripes themselves come in different flavors. The COERCIVITY of the +magnetic media must be specified. The coercivity is the magnetic field +strength required to demagnetize an encoded stripe, and therefore determines +the encode head field strength required to encode the stripe. A range of media +coercivities are available ranging from 300 Oersteds to 4,000 Oe. That boils +down to HIGH-ENERGY magstripes (4,000 Oe) and LOW-ENERGY magstripes (300 Oe). + +REMEMBER: since all magstripes have the same magnetic remanence regardless of +their coercivity, readers CANNOT tell the difference between HIGH and LOW +energy stripes. Both are read the same by the same machines. + +LOW-ENERGY media is most common. It is used on all financial cards, but its +disadvantage is that it is subject to accidental demagnetization from contact +with common magnets (refrigerator, TV magnetic fields, etc.). But these cards +are kept safe in wallets and purses most of the time. + +HIGH-ENERGY media is used for ID Badges and access control cards, which are +commonly used in 'hostile' environments (worn on uniform, used in stockrooms). +Normal magnets will not affect these cards, and low-energy encoders cannot +write to them. + +-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- +_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ + + ** Not All that Fluxes is Digital ** +-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- +_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ + + +Not all magstripe cards operate on a digital encoding method. SOME cards +encode AUDIO TONES, as opposed to digital data. These cards are usually +used with old, outdated, industrial-strength equipment where security is not an +issue and not a great deal of data need be encoded on the card. Some subway +passes are like this. They require only expiration data on the magstripe, and +a short series of varying frequencies and durations are enough. Frequencies +will vary with the speed of swiping, but RELATIVE frequencies will remain the +same (for instance, tone 1 is twice the freq. of tone 2, and .5 the freq of +tone 3, regardless of the original frequencies!). Grab an oscilloscope to +visualize the tones, and listen to them on your stereo.

It's interesting, but I found in a NUMBER of cases that there was a, ---Ԍserious FLAW in the security of the system. In these cases, there was a code +number PRINTED on the card. When scanned, I found this number encoded on the +magstripe. Problem was, the CODE NUMBER was ALL I found on the magstripe! +Meaning, by just looking at the face of the card, I immediately knew exactly +what was encoded on it. Ooops! Makes it pretty damn easy to just glance at +Joe's card during lunch, then go home and pop out my OWN copy of Joe's access +card! Fortunately, I found this flaw only in 'smaller' companies (sometimes +even universities). Bigger companies seem to know better, and DON'T print +ALL of the magstripe data right on card in big, easily legible numbers. At +least the big companies *I* checked. ;) + +Other security blunders include passcard magstripes encoded ONLY with the +owner's social security number (yeah, real difficult to find out a person's +SS#...GREAT idea), and having passcards with only 3 or 4 digit codes. + +Smartcard technology involves the use of chips embedded in plastic cards, with +pinouts that temporarily contact the card reader equipment. Obviously, a GREAT +deal of data could be stored in this way, and unauthorized duplication would be +very difficulty. Interestingly enough, not much effort is being put into +smartcards by the major credit card companies. They feel that the tech is too +expensive, and that still more data can be squeezed onto magstripe cards in the +future (especially Track 1). I find this somewhat analogous to the use of +metallic oxide disk media. Sure, it's not the greatest (compared to erasable- +writable optical disks), but it's CHEAP..and we just keep improving it. +Magstripes will be around for a long time to come. The media will be refined, +and data density increased.

"Teenager +Arrested in Computer Crime Scandal", "Hacker Arrested after Bank +Tampering." "Damn kids. They're all alike." But did you, in your +three-piece psychology and 1950's technobrain, ever take a look behind +the eyes of the hacker? Did you ever wonder what made him tick, what +forces shaped him, what may have molded him? I am a hacker, enter my +world. Mine is a world that begins with school. I'm smarter than most of +the other kids, this crap they teach us bores me. "Damn underachiever. +They're all alike." I'm in junior high or high school. I've listened to +teachers explain for the fifteenth time how to reduce a fraction. I +understand it. "No, Ms. Smith, I didn't show my work. I did it in +my head." "Damn kid. Probably copied it. They're all alike." I made a +discovery today. I found a computer. Wait a second, this is cool. It does +what I want it to. If it makes a mistake, it's because I screwed it up. +Not because it doesn't like me, or feels threatened by me, or thinks I'm +a smart ass, or doesn't like teaching and shouldn't be here. Damn kid. +All he does is play games. They're all alike. And then it happened... a +door opened to a world... rushing through the phone line like heroin +through an addict's veins, an electronic pulse is sent out, a refuge from +the day-to-day incompetencies is sought... a board is found. "This is +it... this is where I belong..." I know everyone here... even if I've +never met them, never talked to them, may never hear from them again... I +know you all... Damn kid. Tying up the phone line again. They're all +alike... You bet your ass we're all alike... we've been spoon-fed baby +food at school when we hungered for steak... the bits of meat that you +did let slip through were pre-chewed and tasteless. We've been dominated +by sadists, or ignored by the apathetic. The few that had something to +teach found us willing pupils, but those few are like drops of water in +the desert. This is our world now... the world of the electron and the +switch, the beauty of the baud. We make use of a service already existing +without paying for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn't run by +profiteering gluttons, and you call us criminals. We explore... and you +call us criminals. We seek after knowledge... and you call us criminals. +We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious +bias... and you call us criminals. You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, +you murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our +own good, yet we're the criminals. Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that +of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and +think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, +something that you will never forgive me for. I am a hacker, and this is +my manifesto. You may stop this individual, but you can't stop us all... +after all, we're all alike. + +This was the last published file written by The Mentor.
