Introduction:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In this, the second part of 'The Beginners Guide to
|
|||
|
|
Phreaking - the lost art' I will discuss what extenders, ports,
|
|||
|
|
and 800 dialups are. I'll tell how they can work for you, how
|
|||
|
|
they can work against you, and all the other good stuff that you
|
|||
|
|
have come to expect.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Ports and Extenders :
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Ports and extenders are BASICALLY the same thing. Some
|
|||
|
|
phreaks argue amongst each other upon technicalities... BUT
|
|||
|
|
If you've never heard of any of them, that's ok. Ports and
|
|||
|
|
extenders are numbers that a LD (Long Distance) Service (GTE,
|
|||
|
|
SPRINT, MCI, Etc...) issues their customers - to access their LD
|
|||
|
|
carrier. Once the customer dials this extender or port [950-XXXX
|
|||
|
|
, or 1-800-XXX-XXXX] he then enters his access code and the
|
|||
|
|
number he wants to call. He is then billed for the call later on
|
|||
|
|
around the 30th of the month. Clear enough.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now, what YOU can do is. Find a local extender [950-XXXX,
|
|||
|
|
or 1-800-XXX-XXXX]. You can do this by asking a local phreaker
|
|||
|
|
for one. Try to find out the order in which then code is entered
|
|||
|
|
(Some extenders have you enter the phone number, then the code...
|
|||
|
|
most are code first, though.) Then, start hacking it... you can
|
|||
|
|
try this manually - but that is lame. Hacking an extender is
|
|||
|
|
done automatically by programs. The most popular hacking program
|
|||
|
|
is Code Thief. This program supports a full range of options,
|
|||
|
|
and works great. What the hacking program does : 1]Dials the
|
|||
|
|
extender. 2]Enters the code, and phone number. 3] Waits for a
|
|||
|
|
modem connection. The ONLY reason this works is because Code
|
|||
|
|
Thief entered a modem line as the Target (The # you wanna call is
|
|||
|
|
called the target.) SO, when the modem connects - you know you
|
|||
|
|
entered the right code!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Warning:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Lately, the above methods have become dangerous. The only
|
|||
|
|
reason phreaking has become dangerous, and endangered is due to
|
|||
|
|
the fact that phreaks ABUSE the codes they hack. Personally...
|
|||
|
|
whenever I get a new code, I use it twice from home (to call LD
|
|||
|
|
boards) then discard it, or use it from phone booths to call
|
|||
|
|
porno lines, or WHATEVER! This is the ONLY way. If you start
|
|||
|
|
going crazy on a code they WILL come and take your computer away
|
|||
|
|
from you.
|
|||
|
|

|
Closing:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In closing, phreaking is truly 'a lost art' simply because
|
|||
|
|
not many people out there are educated about it. Phreaking can
|
|||
|
|
be very fun and exciting. It can also be VERY harmful to your
|
|||
|
|
health. Stay away from Sprint and MCI as a rule. Smaller Phone
|
|||
|
|
companies are less likely to bust you because they don't have the
|
|||
|
|
resources.
