I've added in an occasional hint or two in parenthesis to help some of the
|
|
more uneducated phreaks understand some of the terms and whatever.
|
|
|
|
Those help phones in ATM Machine lobbies can be very useful if you
|
|
have to make an emergency phone call. They work on one of two different
|
|
ways. The first (and best for us) type is the kind that you pick up the
|
|
phone and press a button; which activates an autodialer that calls customer
|
|
service. This one generally looks like a regular traditional style wall
|
|
phone without a dial and a push button somewhere near the phone instructing
|
|
you to press it to get customer service. The second type can either be a
|
|
phone, or is sometimes just a handset set into a mounting on the counter
|
|
which tells you to pick it up for assistance. There are variations in
|
|
appearance with the two types, but the button is the giveaway.
|
|
|
|
What you can do with the first type is pick up the phone and not push
|
|
the button. You should just get a dialtone like in most regular phone
|
|
lines, and you can dial out to anywhere by flashing the switchhook, or if
|
|
the line has touchtone service, by using a portable touchtone dialer
|
|
available at RADIO SHIT (er..I mean Radio Shack. Also, if you do not know
|
|
how to "flash" a switchhook, consult BIOC Agent 003's Tutorials or your
|
|
local phreak or phreak oriented BBS.) for $19.95. Some of these phones are
|
|
hooked up to the bank's PBX (Private Branch Exchange), in which case you'll
|
|
have to dial the extension for an outside line, in most places this is
|
|
usually a "9", "99" or something similar. You can sometimes find out if
|
|
it's on a PBX by listening to the tones coming out of the autodialer. If
|
|
it puts out more than 10 digits (tones), or puts out a couple digits and
|
|
pauses before dialing the rest, then it's on a PBX. Of course some
|
|
autodialers mute the touch tones so you can't hear them.
|
|
|
|
With the second type you can call customer service, and either ask
|
|
some stupid question, or say "Sorry, wrong number". When the nice lady
|
|
hangs up in MOST cases you will get a dialtone and then you can dial out.
|
|
(A lot like when you use a diverter). However if the phone line does not
|
|
have touch tone, you are outta luck; as the autodialer is activated by
|
|
picking up the phone, the flashing of the switchhook will false start the
|
|
autodialer. So, if you can't use your TT(touch tone) pad, your outta luck.
|
|
|
|
Getting into ATM lobbies is pretty easy. They use magnetic strip card
|
|
access. An ATM card obviously works, as well as credit cards, calling
|
|
cards, and anything else with a magnetic strip on the back. The bolts on
|
|
the door are often exposed and can be jimmied open. Some of the locking
|
|
mechanisms don't even work.
|
|
|
|
There are a few things that you have to worry about. The first is
|
|
that someone might notice you staying on the phone for an extended period
|
|
of time, and get suspicious (This is not a BIG risk because most people
|
|
could really care less what you are doing, EXCEPT for those fucking goodie-
|
|
two-shoe bitches which want to make a Citizen's Arrest so that they can get
|
|
in good with your local PTA). The second is that you run the risk of being
|
|
recorded when you are in the lobby. Most ATM lobbies have cameras in them.
|
|
Usually the camera is located in the ATM, and only goes on when a
|
|
transaction in being made, but some places have 24 hour surveillance
|
|
systems. These are usually externally mounted, and quite visible. If you
|
|
see a camera in the lobby, don't mess around in there. The other
|
|
possibility is that the phone itself could be BUGGED by the bank.
|
|
According to law they are supposed to inform you with a beep every ten
|
|
seconds, but no one does that anyway (NOTE: The Gestapo [Ma Bell] is
|
|
supposed to notify you in the same way if they were bugging you at your
|
|
home phone, but they will usually say something like "I was checking the
|
|
line to see if everything was ok, and OVERHEARD some criminal dealings".
|
|
This is a common way to catch people on the phone, so be careful what you
|
|
say on public telephone lines.) You could do a quick look around to see if
|
|
you can find anything on the line. If you don't see anything "funny", and
|
|
can trace all the wiring, then you are probably safe. All in all, your
|
|
best and safest bet is to use an ATM located away from a bank, and one
|
|
where you can see the wiring coming from the outside to the phone. Even
|
|
then, call only people who'll forget you called right after you hang up.
