The purpose of this text-file is to explain the ethics and purpose of
|
|||
|
|
phone phreaking and hacking to the ones that don't know or that think they do
|
|||
|
|
but really don't. Also I will report on a few odd developments in the hack
|
|||
|
|
and phreak worlds, so this file is by no means just reserved to the newcomers.
|
|||
|
|
But most of it, however, is on the basic level. In later volumes I will get
|
|||
|
|
into more in-depth subjects. For the beginner, I will not get into basic
|
|||
|
|
telephony, switching systems and explaining basics such as loops, divertors,
|
|||
|
|
etc., but for those that need that information I highly recommend reading BIOC
|
|||
|
|
Agent's gem of a series, "The Basics of Communications". Though the earliest
|
|||
|
|
ones date back to 1983, they are very informative and well written. At the end
|
|||
|
|
of this file I'll put a little bibliography with a list of text-files and books
|
|||
|
|
that are recommended reading. Now on to the rest of the file, which will be
|
|||
|
|
roughly divided into sections.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I. Elitism. (This is the only section devoted entirely to newcomers.
|
|||
|
|
Others can go ahead to section II).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It's funny listening to some of the new "phreaks" nowadays.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
ALL NEW HACKERS/PHREAKS. . .LISTEN!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
What hackers/phreaks do is illegal! Sort of like the mafia - if you turn
|
|||
|
|
someone in you can expect to get hurt! So, for all you people out there who
|
|||
|
|
cannot handle it, I suggest that you had better stop right away before you
|
|||
|
|
get yourself in trouble. There's too many kids out there today who think that
|
|||
|
|
they're big shit because they can make long distance calls for free... WHOOPIE!
|
|||
|
|
A phreak is not a person that makes long distance calls for nothing. Get that
|
|||
|
|
through your heads! A phreak is a person that experiments with the phone
|
|||
|
|
company, and tries to manipulate it and see what it can do! It only curtails
|
|||
|
|
20% of long distance calls. That 20% is the final chapter of the phreak, once
|
|||
|
|
they crack the Bell system they can make calls for nothing.
|
|||
|
|
HOW CAN ANYONE READ THE LAST CHAPTER AND KNOW WHAT THE BOOK CONTAINS?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Phreaking is illegal and you can get busted for it. No, the FBI won't
|
|||
|
|
bust you for sending someone a $2,000.00 phone bill, the FBI has nothing to do
|
|||
|
|
with that at all! And enough about MCI and tracing... 800 numbers always ANI!
|
|||
|
|
950's are routed in a different way, otherwise they're the SAME as other
|
|||
|
|
prefixes! ANY number can trace, so there isn't one safe method or long
|
|||
|
|
distance company to make free calls. So if you are scared of getting caught,
|
|||
|
|
SIMPLY DO NOT DO IT! People who break into computer systems to crash and
|
|||
|
|
destroy them or use long distance codes for the mere sake of running up
|
|||
|
|
someone's bill should be caught. It's vandalism.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Also, a note about boxing. The blue box is the first and one of the few
|
|||
|
|
"boxes" [which is contradictory to the pirates and others that have a rainbow
|
|||
|
|
assortment of them], although I would also classify the black box as a "box".
|
|||
|
|
Others are just tools of the phone phreak. A beige box is nothing more than
|
|||
|
|
a lineman's handset, and a clear box is just a tone dialer. Also, boxing is
|
|||
|
|
not completely extinct, like some say. And YES, there ARE ways around ESS!
|
|||
|
|
One just has to look for them. Not everything one learns can be attained from
|
|||
|
|
a text-file. Phreaking is not a passive activity, one must go places, do
|
|||
|
|
things, and experiment. Although I am not saying that boxing is in it's prime,
|
|||
|
|
either. [I wasn't a phreak when boxing was in its prime, which was way back in
|
|||
|
|
the early 70's]. Phreaks still have blue boxes, some for sentimental reasons,
|
|||
|
|
and others still use them. A lot of the "boxes", such as the yellow, urine,
|
|||
|
|
lunch, super, cereal, plaid, brown, et. al., don't exist. They were "invented"
|
|||
|
|
by intelligent people for the plain idiots and "new breed" of what I call
|
|||
|
|
"c0mpyooter kidz" to toy with (and try to build and use!) Oh, and then
|
|||
|
|
there's boxes like the red box. The red box exists, but it's just a few of
|
|||
|
|
the tones in a blue box. So if you have a blue box, you also have a red box.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
What else... Oh, yeah, something about codes. For your own saftey, never
|
|||
|
|
use codes posted on a BBS. Who knows how many people are using it. And,
|
|||
|
|
contradictory to the pirate's favorite little saying, "There's safety in
|
|||
|
|
numbers," it's actually more dangerous to use a code posted around the nation.
|
|||
|
|
All you have to do it put your code hacker on one night, and if you get about
|
|||
|
|
4 codes, that should last you two months if you use one code every two weeks,
|
|||
|
|
and don't give any to anyone.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|

|

|
II. Trashing
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Trashing, if done correctly, can be a very profitable and enjoyable part
|
|||
|
|
of a phreak's activities. After trashing local Bell and AT&T sites for over
|
|||
|
|
two years, I've gained a bit of experience on the subject, and have a few
|
|||
|
|
fairly good guidelines for trashing:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1)First of all, you need a place to trash. The best places are your local
|
|||
|
|
central office, business office, AT&T service branch, or communications
|
|||
|
|
center. To find out where these are located, just open up the good ol' white
|
|||
|
|
pages to "American Telephone and Telegraph" or "Bell Systems" and you will
|
|||
|
|
find several local addresses. When you pick one out that you think will be
|
|||
|
|
profitable, jot down the address and take a few drives out the<68>eK˫$Y]<5D>ing
|
|||
|
|
a weekday business hour, one on a Sunday, and another at night. This will
|
|||
|
|
give you an idea of how heavily populated it is at certain times. Don't
|
|||
|
|
get out of the car during these surveillance trips, but just make a note of
|
|||
|
|
security, etc. Some telco installations keep their trash locked up, others
|
|||
|
|
have it guarded, but most of them just have a plain old dumpster. During
|
|||
|
|
these trips you also have to watch when the trash is collected, so that you
|
|||
|
|
can arrange a day when the trash will be at its peak.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2)Once you have a site picked out, and a good time and date to go, drive out
|
|||
|
|
with a friend or two. Sometimes it's better to park your car and walk when it
|
|||
|
|
is guarded, so you will have a smaller chance of being detected, but most of
|
|||
|
|
the time you can just drive right up. Always do it at night, Fridays,
|
|||
|
|
Saturdays and Sundays being the best. Once you are at the dumpster, grab all
|
|||
|
|
the bags and put them in the trunk. If you walked, then take them out and
|
|||
|
|
leave as soon as possible. Not only is this safer (no worry about getting
|
|||
|
|
caught by the cops) than going in the dumpster and sorting the trash there,
|
|||
|
|
but it assures you that you don't miss anything. And what's nice about telco
|
|||
|
|
trash is that the worst it gets is coffee grounds or an apple core, so you
|
|||
|
|
won't have to worry about smelly garbage.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3)Drive off to your house and sort it in your garage, backyard, or whatever.
|
|||
|
|
Have some trash bags nearby to put the real trash in. The good trash you can
|
|||
|
|
then keep, and dispose of the rest.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
There are many good things you can find in telco trash. There are always
|
|||
|
|
abundances of printouts, from loop tests to miscellaneous reports. Depending
|
|||
|
|
on exactly what kind of building you trashed, you could find broken phones
|
|||
|
|
(the parts are very useful) to blank letterheads. I have never found a pad
|
|||
|
|
of unused Bell letterheads, but if you find one that is in good condition but
|
|||
|
|
written on, take it to your local printer and have them print you out two
|
|||
|
|
dozen copies in the same color, but to omit the part that was written on. If
|
|||
|
|
the printer questions you, just leave and go somewhere else. At my local
|
|||
|
|
printer, this cost me $2.60. Letterheads and envelopes are very useful for
|
|||
|
|
scaring enemies (on occasion, friends too!), or for impressing phellow phreaks
|
|||
|
|
when writing to them. In Bell trash you can also find notebooks and binders
|
|||
|
|
with the Bell logo. Once I trashed a computer store and found a binder with
|
|||
|
|
the Intel logo on it. It now sits next to my PC and I use it to keep my
|
|||
|
|
technical information.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
III. Your Phriends at Bell!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
There's a lot of phree presents AT&T has for you that's just as easy as
|
|||
|
|
a phone call away:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Ever want more than one phone book? Is yours old and tattered? You can
|
|||
|
|
get a White Pages, Yellow Pages, Business-to-Business Yellow Pages, or
|
|||
|
|
whatever suburb yellow/white pages you want just by asking! It's very simple,
|
|||
|
|
and perfectly legal - just open the cover of your current White Pages and get
|
|||
|
|
the number to your local Administrative Office. Give 'em a call and ask for
|
|||
|
|
whatever phone book you want, and they'll send it free of charge. Don't order
|
|||
|
|
more than 3 at a time, however.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A way to get Bell stationary without going trashing is to call Bell and
|
|||
|
|
ask for information on, for instance, WATS lines. You'll get a little
|
|||
|
|
pamphlet in the mail about WATS lines, plus a Bell memorandum slip saying
|
|||
|
|
something like, "George --- here's the information you requested on WATS
|
|||
|
|
lines". As before, take it to your printers', and have it copied without the
|
|||
|
|
writing.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Those manhole covers that you see on your street with the words "Bell
|
|||
|
|
System" on it have more in there than you think. If you can lift one up using
|
|||
|
|
a crowbar, go inside. Sometimes you might find a telephone handset, and if
|
|||
|
|
you're lucky, a Bell manual or two describing the wires lining the inside. But
|
|||
|
|
most of the time, that's just a phreak phairy tale. It's not that easy, but
|
|||
|
|
I worked out an easy method to get various manuals that WORKS:
|
|||
|
|
Ever see those little black lids on the corner of the block that says
|
|||
|
|
"Telephone" on it, and you open it up and there's a long wire in it? It's
|
|||
|
|
called a bridging head. Well go to one close to you, either if you have one
|
|||
|
|
or try one a few houses away. Take the lid off, and pitch it. Then call up
|
|||
|
|
repair service and say, "Hello, this is [insert the name of someone that lives
|
|||
|
|
near it, or bullshit a name], and I have a box at the corner of my house that
|
|||
|
|
contains phone wires. Well, I just looked outside and the lid is missing.
|
|||
|
|
I have a 6 year old daughter, and she plays outside a lot. I don't want her
|
|||
|
|
to get electrocuted or hurt, so could you please send someone out to replace
|
|||
|
|
the lid? My address is [fill in address here]." And in a while (they'll tell
|
|||
|
|
you the time), a bell lineman will drive up, open his truck and get out a
|
|||
|
|
replacement lid. When he's doing that, just reach in the truck and swipe
|
|||
|
|
something. But you have to be quick and accurate, and you can't be too
|
|||
|
|
choosy. While you're at it, you might as well get into a conversation with
|
|||
|
|
the guy. BSing with these people can sometimes yield good results.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Many of the Directory Assistance ops can easily be talked to. Although
|
|||
|
|
they get a lot of calls (1000-1300 a day), they still will talk for a few
|
|||
|
|
minutes. The problem is that they don't have access to much. They can tell
|
|||
|
|
you if a number is unlisted or not, and that's about it. The CN/A operator can
|
|||
|
|
give you the name and address of a number. And, if done correctly, you can
|
|||
|
|
get some information from her. I hear that most CN/As are going to become a
|
|||
|
|
regular customer pay service in the near future, due to all the teens already
|
|||
|
|
abusing them. My CN/A (614) doesn't even give you the full address or name on
|
|||
|
|
most of the numbers, they just tell you the major city it's in (like for a 614
|
|||
|
|
number they'll say "that's in Columbus", and for a 216 number they'll say
|
|||
|
|
"that's in Cleveland"), which doesn't help at all. For unlisted numbers
|
|||
|
|
they'll tell you that they have no record. Some CN/As are on Microfische(like
|
|||
|
|
mine), and that's what happens when you call them. The others are computerized
|
|||
|
|
but they ask for a pass code (two letters and two numerals). It won't be long
|
|||
|
|
before this once-valuable operator becomes useless.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
IV. Exchange Scanning
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The best way to find pbxes, loops, and other goodies is to manually scan
|
|||
|
|
for them. In the NPA-NXX-99XX numbers, there's a lot of Bell goodies, just
|
|||
|
|
waiting for you to explore them. Get a notebook for phreaking and make a
|
|||
|
|
chart for each prefix like this (thanks to BIOC Agent 003 for this method):
|
|||
|
|
|
|||

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Then make a key something like:
|
|||
|
|
R = ring [try again later]
|
|||
|
|
B = busy [ " " " ]
|
|||
|
|
R1= recording 1 [make a list of all that you come across, R1, R2, R3, etc.]
|
|||
|
|
D = dial tone
|
|||
|
|
O = intercept operator
|
|||
|
|
S = sweep tone
|
|||
|
|
T = tone [tone at lower number + ignore it's a loop]
|
|||
|
|
I = ignore [dead silence. at higher number, it's a loop]
|
|||
|
|
V = voice number to telco
|
|||
|
|
C = carrier [modem]
|
|||
|
|
Q = strange tone/clicks/buzzing
|
|||
|
|
M = voice mail system
|
|||
|
|
N = SCC / Network port (MCI, Sprint, etc)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Dial all the numbers on your sheet, and record your findings on the chart
|
|||
|
|
in your notebook. Another area that has a lot of things are the <800>/9XX-9999
|
|||
|
|
series of numbers. At the time of this writing, most are disconnected, but a
|
|||
|
|
few useful numbers are still there. Also, <800>/NXX-10XX tend to yield with
|
|||
|
|
a lot of good findings. Try to do your scanning late at night, when most
|
|||
|
|
businesses are closed. Put all your scans in one big notebook, and attempt to
|
|||
|
|
scan as much of the Network [the whole phone system if you were wondering] as
|
|||
|
|
you can. Another good prefix to scan are the pay <900>/200-XXXX numbers. These
|
|||
|
|
generally cost more than most of the normal 900 numbers, and some of them are
|
|||
|
|
private AT&T numbers. You can also try NPA-NXX-00XX, and NPA-NXX-01XX. But
|
|||
|
|
you don't have to be limited to these. Different numbers can be found in
|
|||
|
|
different areas. Explore into deep depths of the Networks' insides, and the
|
|||
|
|
deeper you go the better things you will find. Currently in my area, the
|
|||
|
|
98xx numbers have a lot of loops in them, such as <216>/661-9898/9. Here's
|
|||
|
|
a listing of prefixes for the <800> exchange and the states that the number
|
|||
|
|
resides in (a lot of companies set up numbers that can only be reached in the
|
|||
|
|
same state, and others have ones that can only be called outside their state).
|
|||
|
|
An asterisk to the right indicates that a toll switching office that accepts
|
|||
|
|
MF tones has been found in the area code served by that prefix. An asterisk
|
|||
|
|
to the left indicates that numbers have been found in that prefix that can be
|
|||
|
|
whistled off using 2600. The numbers that should be hacked for blowable
|
|||
|
|
numbers have asterisks before and after them like this: *XXX*.

Another area to scan are the <NPA>/NXX-4499 numbers. These will connect
|
|||
|
|
you to a loud annoying busy signal. But the neat part about it is that if
|
|||
|
|
anyone else calls it while you're on, you can talk. Many people (I've seen it
|
|||
|
|
where they've gotten 20) can be on it at the same time. And the more people on
|
|||
|
|
the line, the quieter the busy signal gets. Although the busy signal is
|
|||
|
|
annoying, it's good because you don't get charged for busy signals so you can
|
|||
|
|
call it direct. Two working numbers are <603>/353-4499 and <205>/356-4499.
|
|||
|
|
There are a lot of these, at least one in every area code.

V. Closing Notes
|

|
|
|

|
|
This ends the first in a series, "The Telecommunications Collage". This
|
|||
|
|
one was aimed more at the newer phreaks, but more information will be in issue
|
|||
|
|
number two, including Bell computers, answering machine/VRS hacking, radio
|
|||
|
|
hacking, and other topics. This file was written on various dates between
|
|||
|
|
March 17th, 1987 to April 26th, 1987 [as if you really cared, huh?]. Here I'm
|
|||
|
|
listing some suggested reading like I promised you at the beginning of the
|
|||
|
|
publication. Use this material well, and remember,knowledge is power! [as I
|
|||
|
|
quote Scan Man]
