Panther Modernz Phile #3

Discovered and Typed by Sir Hairy Legg (Aka Hairy Leech) of Panther Modernz.

Another Note: Just for the hell of it I'd like to say that the law of this
great land forbids using this info in any way.. I do not promote it's use
(yeh, right!) so you get nailed, it's your fault.

Okay.. now to the meat:

If you know this or not, all those 50316xxxxx codes are related. I mean, a
code from one dial-up is compatiable with only minor modifications with any
other dial-up.

I hear that all those pbx systems are owned by some company in California,
and obviously they are stupid wanker fucks.

These are all the dial-ups (live and dead) I know of for the 503 codes:

1-800-535-4501 
1-800-553-7149 
1-800-225-5946 
1-800-233-7684 
1-800-633-4102
1-800-292-3044 
1-800-535-6246

I am sure there are more, but I don't remember them right off hand.

These things were first hacked on about 7 months ago (current date is
10/21/90) and they are just now getting really popular.

Anyway. This is how it's done:

I classify 503 codes like this:

5031677171 ---===::::

--- denotes prefix === denotes 'base' :::: denotes code

First thing to do is get a code from one 503 pbx system. Let's use the code
above, (working, with the 2255946 dial-up, I might add.) for our example.

5031677171 -> 1-800-225-5946

To convert this code for use on another system, you need only change 1
digit. That would happen to be the 3rd from last digit, the 1.

So, to convert, change this:

5031677x71

Now, you find yourself another 503 supporting system, let's use
1-800-535-4501 for this example.

So, to convert your code, you need only call the 1-800-535-4501 number, and
try your code with various digits as the 'x'.

Like this. Call the 1-800-535-4501 and try these codes:

5031677071 
5031677171 
5031677271 
5031677371 
5031677471 
5031677571
5031677671 
5031677771 
5031677871 
5031677971

You need only make 10 calls. Or, on some 503 systems where you get 2 trys,
5 calls.

Note how the 3rd from last digit changesin the list.

So. Broken into steps, it looks like this:

#1 - Locate a 503 code dial-up. #2 - Locate a code (dead or live) from
     any 503 dial-up. #3 - Alter the 3rd from last digit of
     your code. #4 - Call your dial-up, and try all 10
     of the variations of the code.

That about wraps that.

Of course, some dail-ups work slightly differantly. For instance, some ask
you for code, then number. Some ask for number, then code. Some just make a
lame tone at you.

There is just one other snag.

If you will remember, === denoted base. I have found that not all dialups
support all the bases.

Example: Known bases for the 225-5946 dial up are as follows:

167 168 162 161 163 166 177

Bases for 535-4501 on the other hand, are these:

106 158 185

So. You see now that a code from a 4501 cannot be converted to a 5946.

But, I hear talk that to hack (i.e. witha hacker program) these things, you
set your hacker with a template such as this:

5031xxxxxx

So.. All dialups may be compatiable.

I dont really know at this time. I really dont care for these codes
anyway,so I dont care either way.

You figure it out. After all, you are hacks and phreaks too.

Enjoy.. Proven to work by me, I calculated 29 working codes on the 225
system from dead ones on some other system.

The end.

Special thanks to Ghost, for helping me to compile a list of bases/dialups.

(Told you I'd put that in..)
