CODE THIEF REVISION 3.5 (DELUXE)
DETAILING NEW FEATURES SINCE CODE THIEF REVISION 3.0
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Deluxe edition of Code Thief. ÿThis is Code ÿThief
Revision ÿ3.5, ÿÿthe next logical upgrade from Code Thief ÿ3.0. ÿÿThis
documentation assumes that you have Code Thief 3.0 ÿand wish only to go
over ÿthe ÿnew ÿfeatures in Code Thief Deluxe 3.5. ÿIf Code ÿThief ÿis
TOTALLY ÿnew to you, ÿread THIEF35.DOC for more detailed information on
Code Thief.
UPGRADES TO HACK LONG DISTANCE SERVICES
After selecting the start and stop times, ÿand weather you wish to
quit ÿto ÿDOS after the specified stop time, ÿyou ÿare ÿpresented ÿwith
another screen before hacking. On this screen you will be asked if you
wish ÿto stop hacking after Code Thief finds a number of ÿvalid ÿcodes.
If you answer yes, ÿyou are prompted to enter the number of valid codes
to ÿstop after. ÿThen you are prompted as to weather Code Thief should
quit to DOS after finding this number of valid codes. If you have quit
to ÿDOS ÿfor both the TIME and the NUMBER OF CODES, ÿÿwhatever ÿhappens
first will cause Thief Deluxe to quit to DOS.
Now you are asked the number of seconds to pause between attempts.
This ÿis ÿa ÿfeature ÿto throw off the long ÿdistance ÿcarrier's ÿhack-
detection ÿsoftware. ÿÿIf ÿyou have a lot of flagged extenders PLUS ÿa
delay ÿtime ÿbetween ÿattempts, ÿit greatly decreases the LD ÿcompany's
software ÿfrom ÿdetecting ÿhacking. ÿÿIt is best to ÿhack ÿduring ÿthe
DAYTIME, and a delay will help guarantee that a valid customer calls in
and uses their code so ÿthat ÿyour hacks will be more spread apart. ÿA
lot ÿof ÿflagged ÿextenders ÿalso ÿdecreases the possibility ÿof ÿbeing
detected even MORE. ÿFace it, ÿmore people are being busted every day.
Use ÿCode ÿThief ÿDeluxe with all of the ÿCode ÿThief ÿcapabilities ÿto
greatly ÿheighten your safety. ÿNote that if you hit RETURN for ÿdelay
time, ÿÿCode Thief Deluxe will not pause between attempts (also if ÿyou
hit "0" <return> which is the same thing).
When Code Thief is DELAYING, you will be shown the countdown. ÿIf
you wish to stop the delay and just go on to the next attempt, ÿhit the
[SPACEBAR]. ÿÿHitting ÿESCape during the countdown will ÿquit ÿhacking
mode.
UPGRADES TO EDIT EXTENDER CONFIGURATIONS
Now ÿaccepted in the code template is [#] and [*]. ÿThis ÿis ÿfor
hacking PBX's that need these.
UPGRADES TO DELUXE EXCHANGE SCANNER
The ÿCode ÿThief ÿDeluxe exchange scanner is a ÿmultiple ÿexchange
full-screen exchange scanner. ÿAlso, you can now scan the 1-800 ÿarea.
When ÿyou hit [F] from the main menu, ÿyou are taken into the ÿexchange
editor. ÿIf no exchanges exist, a ÿdummy first record will be created.
Hit ÿ[R] to Replace the first record and enter the exchange, ÿÿstarting
number and ending number of the exchange. ÿNow, ÿyou can add exchanges
by ÿhitting ÿ[A], ÿÿdelete exchanges by hitting [D], ÿflag ÿand ÿunflag
exchanges by hitting [+] and [-] respectively, ÿas well as use the left
and ÿright arrow keys on the numeric keypad to move around in the file.
Also ÿnote ÿthat ÿyou ÿcan ÿenter the ÿexchange ÿrecord ÿnumber ÿto ÿgo
automatically ÿto ÿthat ÿexchange record, ÿjust like ÿin ÿthe ÿextender
configuration section. ÿThe [SPACEBAR] toggles weather the exchange is
in the 1-800 area or not.
If ÿyou ÿwish to not scan exchanges, ÿjust hit [Q] to quit to ÿthe
main menu. ÿBut to begin scanning exchanges, ÿjust hit [G] from ÿhere.
Note ÿthat ÿto scan, ÿÿat ÿleast one exchange must be flagged. ÿIf ÿno
exchanges are flagged Code Thief will tell you. You are also asked for
the modem timeout (in seconds).
During scanning, ÿif the ending number for an exchange is reached,
Code Thief will stop scanning that exchange by unflagging it. When all
of ÿthe ÿflagged ÿexchanges ÿbecome unflagged, ÿCode ÿThief ÿwill ÿquit
exchange scanning. Of course you can also quit by hitting ESCape, ÿand
the ÿlast number dialed in all exchanges will be saved in your exchange
configurations. ÿÿThen all you have to do is hit [F] then [G] from the
main menu to pick up from where you left off.
UPGRADES TO SET MODEM PARAMATERS/DEFAULTS;MODEM SPECIFICS
Hang ÿup mode has been changed. ÿCode Thief now NEEDS to drop DTR
to hang up, so set your modem DIP switches accordingly. The option has
been ÿreplaced ÿby ÿLOCAL DIALING. ÿIf you ÿonly ÿhave ÿpulse ÿdialing
services ÿ(not touchtone) ÿthen set this option to PULSE. ÿÿOtherwise,
TONE ÿis the default. ÿOf course when Code Thief DOES connect ÿto ÿthe
extender, TONE will be used for the remainder of the hack. This should
go without saying.
MODEM INPUT/OUTPUT WINDOWS
All ÿI/O to the modem is now monitored. ÿAlso, ÿCode Thief Deluxe
should work with more modems. ÿDuring hacking or scanning you will see
the ÿI/O ÿwindows, ÿalong with a timer on the top of the screen. ÿÿThe
first ÿwindow is INPUT from the modem, ÿthe second window is OUTPUT ÿto
the modem. ÿCode Thief will now re-send commands if errors occur, ÿtry
commands ÿagain if they elicit no response, ÿrecover from ÿmodem ÿscrew
ups, ÿand generally be more well behaved. For instance, ATX4 ÿis right
as a user string for my COM3: ÿmodem, but creates an ERROR for my COM2:
modem. ÿIf I use a user string of ATX4 for my COM2: modem, ÿCode Thief
will recognize it and keep sending ATX4 ÿa ÿnumber of times to my COM2:
modem. Of course it keeps getting errors. ÿThen after about 5 retries
Code ÿThief ÿwill ÿabort ÿhacking. ÿÿNow ÿI ÿcan ÿlook ÿat ÿthe ÿmodem
configuration and say to myself: ÿAh! ÿI ÿneed to get rid of this user
string. ÿAlso note that when waiting for a carrier if no modem ÿresult
code ÿis ÿreceived in the time specified as TIMEOUT for ÿyour ÿextender
(can be edited using the extender editor) ÿCode Thief Deluxe will ÿknow
and move on. ÿCode Thief Deluxe uses your PC's clock to keep track ÿof
seconds that have elapsed.
MULTIPLE TARGET CONVERSION UTILITIES / TYMFIX.COM
Consult ÿÿCONVERT.DOC, ÿÿwhich ÿhas ÿbeen ÿupdated ÿand ÿÿincludes
information on TYMFIX.COM and its use. Convert version 2.0 is included
in your Code Thief Deluxe ZIPfile.
SUMMARY
Well, ÿthat's about it for the new features in Code Thief ÿDeluxe.
The major changes have been incorporated in the modem I/O which took ÿa
bit ÿof programming, ÿbut are easy to document on paper. ÿAlso, ÿÿCode
Thief ÿhas grown quite complex for a hacker type program. ÿIn creating
Code ÿThief I have attempted to take most of the popular features ÿfrom
other ÿCode ÿHackers, ÿÿwhatever language they were ÿwritten ÿin, ÿÿand
incorporate them ÿinto ÿthe "wish-list" ÿfor Code Thief and Code ÿThief
Deluxe. ÿÿI ÿÿwould ÿalso like to thank the many ÿpeople ÿwho ÿoffered
suggestions as to additions and modifications.
If you are just getting Code Thief Deluxe when it's new, upload it
everywhere so people can move on up to Code Thief Deluxe Revision ÿ3.5.
Besides, ÿÿit ÿwill get you upload points and a ÿbetter ÿupload ÿratio.
Everyone benefits.
