BATAVIA - A 17-year-old high school student is facing charges for his part
|
||
|
in a homecomputer scam that left Wisconsin County with a $24,468 phone
|
||
|
bill.
|
||
|
The youth is suspected of gaining illegal acess to telephone lines by
|
||
|
breaking computer codes, investigators said.
|
||
|
He then would share the codes with other home computer operators -
|
||
|
someimes called Hackers - so they could communicate via their computers
|
||
|
and charge the call to a third pary, Genesee County Assistant District
|
||
|
Attorney Robert Noonan said yesterday.
|
||
|
Possibly up to 100 people used it, Noonan said.
|
||
|
Investigators are discussing whether to take the case before a grand
|
||
|
jury or offer the outh a deal involving crimunal charges and restitution,
|
||
|
Noonan said.
|
||
|
The youth was not identified because he is not charged now.
|
||
|
In September another Genesee Countymman was believed to be the first
|
||
|
person in the state to be convicted under a recent computer-tampering law.
|
||
|
Robert F. Versaggi, 31, was convicted of two counts of second-degree
|
||
|
computer tampring involving telephones atKodak in Rochester.
|
||
|
The boy is suspected of making $1,126 in calls himself that were
|
||
|
billed to Winnebago County, Wis. Hackers made an additional $23,342 in
|
||
|
calls.
|
||
|
Noonan was contacted by Secret Service agents when their investigation
|
||
|
into the Winnebago County phone bills led them to the Batvia youth.
|
||
|
Authorities seized records and equipment used in the scheme from the youth's
|
||
|
home.

REVIEW : Crusader's "new" TeleNet Scanner
|
||
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
I just downloaded Auto-Scan, a new TeleNet scannnng program, and I
|
||
|
have to say, I'll give it a thumbs up! The program is used to find valid
|
||
|
TeleNet identfiers, very much similar to wardialing for modems. The
|
||
|
program dials up your local TeleNet and startig at the area code, and id
|
||
|
you define, sequentialy scans to find working systems. The program has a
|
||
|
configuration menu that will allow you to changethe baud rate, speaker
|
||
|
on/off, (by changing the dialing string), the local TeleNet access number,
|
||
|
starting Area Code and id, and whether or not you want it to scan auto-
|
||
|
matically, or manually. You may also change the filename, or device that
|
||
|
you wish to have the valid identifiers saved to...
|
||
|
In Auto-Scan te program does everything itself, from dialing telenet
|
||
|
to entering the terminal type and identifiers. When in manual scan, it
|
||
|
acts like a terminal, and when you recieve the @ symbol, (prompt to enter
|
||
|
id) you hit the proper consol key, and he program sends the next id in
|
||
|
the series.
|
||
|
The program can be set to work at any baud rate, but 1200 works best.
|
||
|
When setting the baud rate, you must make sure ahead of iime, that the
|
||
|
TeleNet dialup you are using will accept that speed, or the program will
|
||
|
lock up if it attempt to connect at 2400 baud, when TeleNet will only
|
||
|
accept 1200.
|
||
|
The dialing string parameter allows you to set eertain registers on
|
||
|
your modem if you like before dialing. The default setting is ATM0DT, which
|
||
|
will first turn the speaker off, and the dial in touch tone. You can how-
|
||
|
ever change that to ATM1DT it you would like the speaker to be on wile
|
||
|
it is scanning.
|
||
|
To run TeleNet scanner, you must have an RS232 handler installed, and
|
||
|
a hayes compatible modem connected. Using a Hayes(r) Smartodem is the
|
||
|
best choice. The program may work with other hayes compatible modems, but
|
||
|
we can't insure that it will work with other modems besides the Hayes.
|
||
|
The program is protected against editing, so you can not modify it to
|
||
|
suit your own needs, but it should fill most of the requirements you would
|
||
|
need for scanning TeleNet. The program has a few minor bugs, which can
|
||
|
usually be avoided. First of all, if the program dials up TeleNet, and
|
||
|
TeleNet does not answer, or desn not answer at the right baud rate, the
|
||
|
program will lock up, and the only way to get out of it is by pressing
|
||
|
System Reset, which will reboot the system, and previousyy found identifiers
|
||
|
will be lost. Also if you experience line noise, the program will fail
|
||
|
to execute properly, and many times the end rsult will also be lock up.
|
||
|
At any tim in the middle of a scan, you may hit the HELP key on your
|
||
|
Atari XL, or XE and the program will abort nd return to the configuration
|
||
|
menu, while saving the results. There is no exit, or return to dos
|
||
|
function so when you are done using the rogram, return to the config.
|
||
|
menu and press system reset, or turn the computer off to exit the progra..
|
||
|
Crusader is well known in many circles of the tele-com and hacking
|
||
|
world. He has written many programs for hacking codes, and or war dialing
|
||
|
modems for the Atari Computer and hayes compatible modems. Mosl`7f the
|
||
|
programs he writes, he writes with a Hays SmartModem, so they may not
|
||
|
always work with other types of modems. You should keep this in mind if you
|
||
|
are considering downloading a program he has written. Other programs that
|
||
|
he has released include, CardHacker, the ProHack series, and several others.
|
||
|
I talked to him recently, and he told me about a new program he will be
|
||
|
releasing soon, called The Prowler. The Prowler is an advanced modem
|
||
|
scanner ith built in full featured terminal. It operates at 3, 12, and
|
||
|
2400 baud. The terminal feature incluees baud, and translation settings,
|
||
|
as well as a good sized buffer (over 5k) for capturing text. The Prowler
|
||
|
will also can for dialtones, to find local pbx's, or new~r 95 dialups. It
|
||
|
is all menu driven, nd should be easy to use. The Prowler will ONLY run
|
||
|
on Hayes SmartModem's, and compatibles.
|
||
|
Also be watching for the ProwlPak, a disk that will be soon released
|
||
|
containing a autobootmenu program, from where you can select and run The
|
||
|
Prowler, TeleNet Scanner, or The Theif. Crusader wouldn't tell us much
|
||
|
about The Theif, but he claimsit will be the greatest code hacker ever
|
||
|
written, with the most features, and the easiest to use. Also be looking
|
||
|
for ARTS, The [A]tari [R]emote [T]rading [S]ystem. It is a small bulletin
|
||
|
board system designed after the Apple AE concept. Mos of his programs can
|
||
|
be found on a good bbs near you, so ask around!

Theft Finess
|
||
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
Many of you are hacking your brains out with algoritims, math formulas, etc,
|
||
|
to latch onto the ultimate communications bonanza. I offeran alternate
|
||
|
method. It's much less exciting, less computer intense, but safer, surer
|
||
|
and longer lasting!
|
||
|
|
||
|
My method goes like this:
|
||
|
|
||
|
First choose a victim long distance company, then apply fo a travel card,
|
||
|
or calling code. When asked, give them a phony business name and
|
||
|
telephone number. An always busy number, or always ringing number is good.
|
||
|
Alas, you will have to give them a legitmate address to get your account
|
||
|
number. An abondoned house, or house for sale is good. If they ask you for
|
||
|
a business reference, just make oe up, or use a real company thatyyou know.
|
||
|
They will NOT check up on it! Now just kick back until the card comes!
|
||
|
|
||
|
My experience and faith in the incompetence and stupidity of the corperte
|
||
|
Ameica yields the conclusion that they don't even look at your account
|
||
|
until the bill begins to top $1000! Sometimes you will simply get lost in
|
||
|
the maze of computers, billing, accounting etc and be left alone for a year
|
||
|
or more!
|
||
|
|
||
|
One example is when my old telephone number was disconnected. Then it was
|
||
|
RE-connected to someone else, by a caprice of Ma Bell stupidity.(when she
|
||
|
WAS Ma Bell) My OLD phone # was activated in MY HOUSE!! I had unlimited
|
||
|
calling for over a year on that number. I never had any problems with the
|
||
|
real owers of the number. I NEVER heard a peep about paying for their
|
||
|
mistake.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I just finished an 11 month long escapade with SPRINT. (or U~rS Sprint, r
|
||
|
who-ever they are now) I never heard a word till the bill passed 1000
|
||
|
dollars!
|
||
|
|
||
|
The whole gist of the thing is, that there are so many bills and records to
|
||
|
keep track of, that the telephone companies are drowning in their own
|
||
|
paperwork! I applied through EASTERN TEL, got a temporary card in 1 week.
|
||
|
Then it was cancelled because the witch at the customer service offic
|
||
|
cal}ied the phony number I left to find out how I liked the service! I even
|
||
|
called THEM because I had never been caught so fast. I just told them I was
|
||
|
a dumb employee workig for the company name that I had made the application
|
||
|
in, and didn't know anything! Although they took my name, which I made up
|
||
|
for the occason, I received my PERMANANT travel card in the mail in a week
|
||
|
from EASTERN TEL!!!
|
||
|
|
||
|
In conclusion, this is war: People die, lives are rined, property is
|
||
|
destroyed. Along wi}ith much of what Americais supposed to be -- on paper.
|
||
|
The devittiture is one more salvo against us -- those bottemless pits our
|
||
|
parents told us never existed. It is up to US to stand up and hit 'em where
|
||
|
it hurts -- the ONLY place to hit 'em: In the pocketbook!!!
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Enuff said.

(TEXAS)-11/11/87
|
||
|
|
||
|
AT+T has announced a new network. The only people I know of so far that will
|
||
|
be on it are Tany's Radio Shacks. I'm sure others will follow, but that's
|
||
|
all the info I have so far, as I just got this tidbit about 2 hours ago.
|
||
|
Now, I dont have time in life to type in all 340 nodes, but I will give
|
||
|
you a handful. I know for a fact it's 300/1200 baud, and imagine, it'll
|
||
|
host 2400. This is to be released November 30, but I'm sure some of the
|
||
|
numbers are up by now.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Happy hacking.
