|
||
|
||
For the most part A.D.S. (Audio Distribution Systems) are owned and
|
||
maintained by IBM. The systems themselves are usually "Fringe Benefits" to
|
||
company employees who (as is usually the case) have never bothered to use the
|
||
Ads capabilities, as using it requires some basic intelligence and the skill to
|
||
push buttons in a pre-arranged order. [Abilities most IBM employees are sadly
|
||
lacking in...] As a result password hacking is a joke.
|
||
|
||
[-] -A.D.S. Syntax:- [-]
|
||
|
||
When Asked to "key-press" entries on Ads, you push the keys on your phone
|
||
that correspond to the letters you want. ie: To listen to a message Ads will
|
||
prompt that you "push star l" meaning you push the asterisk "*", followed by
|
||
the "5" key which corresponds to the letters "J,K,L".
|
||
|
||
[-] Standard Default [-]
|
||
Menu:
|
||
|
||
If the company using the Ads is one other than IBM The standard defaults may
|
||
have been changed. The changes are really not pertinant to system operation as
|
||
it shouldn't take more then a minute or two of hitting key's to discover what
|
||
the defaults have been changed to.
|
||
|
||
Typical defaults:
|
||
[#] - Help key, depressing it will give you detailed (sometimes not so
|
||
detailed) help on a function. It depends largely on which "sub-menu" you are
|
||
currently on.
|
||
|
||
[NOTE:] For those of you on Mci, don't panic, you need to push it only for a
|
||
fraction of a second for it to register. This is not enough time delay to have
|
||
Mci recognize The pound sign "#" as a valid "disconnect command."
|
||
|
||
[*] - Abort key, depressing the asterisk will abort the function currently
|
||
taking place, with an audible "OK" when recognized. It also returns you to the
|
||
main menu level.
|
||
|
||
[4-9] - At the main menu the keys 4-9 when not used in conjunction with
|
||
another command (such as the "* G", "* L", "* R" commands) will usually respond
|
||
with "Invalid key".
|
||
|
||
[3] - At the main menu "3" is the disconnect key. When pushed Ads will
|
||
respond with "Do you want to hang up? Push 1-yes, or 2-no".
|
||
|
||
[2] - Customize key. At the main menu pushing the "2" key allows you to
|
||
customize your accnt. for new defaults such as: Slow/Med/Fast msg. playback,
|
||
Your "status" (home, at office, on vacation, etc) your secretary's (assuming
|
||
you have one) status, your family's status, and your, your family's,
|
||
secretary's and guests passwords. Normal default for guest PW is: IBM (How
|
||
innovative). For obvious reasons it is strongly recommended that you change
|
||
your PW once you "acquire" your accnt. [More on this in a later section...]
|
||
|
||
[1] - Is usually set for "Old msg. playback" ie: msg.'s that you have
|
||
allready received but want to retain as "Old messages" (The default time period
|
||
for holding a old msg. is 1 week, this period can be extended to as much as 2
|
||
months on some systems. (You customize it to whatever you want) Keep in mind
|
||
that different systems allocate different amounts of storage to each user.
|
||
|
||
Typical commands:
|
||
----------------
|
||
|
||
* L - Listen to your messages
|
||
* R - Record a message
|
||
* G - Get another message
|
||
* S - Send a message
|
||
|
||
After some commands you will be prompted with a sub-menu ie:
|
||
|
||
*R Push 1-record new message 2-insert at: 3-add to message
|
||
*S push 1-send to single user 2-send to multiple users.
|
||
|
||
etc...
|
||
|
||
|
||
[-] Password Hacking [-]
|
||
|
||
When you first call the Ads you will be greeted with the systems "hello".
|
||
Usually something like: "Welcome to [whatever branch] IBM ADS. Please key-
|
||
pres subscribers last name first, until recognized:" At this point it might be
|
||
helpful to open a telephone book and just go from a-z using the more average
|
||
names. I have yet to find a ADS without at least several "Smith's" being in
|
||
the "userlog". Assuming the system recognized the last name as a valid one it
|
||
will now do one of two things depending on whether there is more then one
|
||
person on the system with the same last name. If for example there are 3
|
||
"Smith's" on the system it will then ask: "select 1- John Smith, select 2-
|
||
Mark Smith, select 3- George Smith" If there is only one person on the system
|
||
with that particular last name Ads will prompt: "Please key-press your
|
||
password". If there were multiple persons on the system with the same last
|
||
name, after you have selected who you want it will give you the same: "Please
|
||
key-press your password" prompt as in the previous example.
|
||
|
||
Default passwords:
|
||
-----------------
|
||
If the person to whom the password was assigned to is either:
|
||
|
||
[1] Not using the accnt.
|
||
[2] Dense (a very large proportion fit into this category)
|
||
|
||
then the pw will be set (in the case of 1) to the systems defaults, usually a
|
||
3-6 digit pw that repeats the same # several times. ie: Assuming the system
|
||
defaults to 6 character pw's the pw could be:
|
||
|
||
000000
|
||
111111
|
||
222222
|
||
etc.
|
||
999999
|
||
|
||
Or in the case of 2, it will very likely be the persons first/or last name
|
||
(Great idea eh...?, that way they'll never forget it (if they're lucky) there
|
||
is also the added advantage that if this persons PW suddenly vanishes they are
|
||
not very likely to report it missing, very often they will just assume that it
|
||
doesn't work because of their own stupidity, after all the computer is never
|
||
wrong) So for example if the persons name was: Martha Technophobe, and the
|
||
maximum length of pw's allowed was 6 chars. the pw could be:
|
||
|
||
MARTHA
|
||
or
|
||
TECHNO
|
||
|
||
A large number of computer "semi-literate" people, will do it in this way.
|
||
|
||
[ Guidelines. ]
|
||
----------------
|
||
|
||
[1] When you enter an accnt. change NOTHING at the beginning, if you
|
||
discover that you have captured a secretary accnt. Leave everything alone and
|
||
leave. Secretary's have no privilege, and their superior's tend to become
|
||
suspicious when they can no longer reach them. Also your (the secretary's)
|
||
superior can change the password at will from his (or her) accnt.
|
||
|
||
[2] When you have found an accnt that suits you, go immediately to [2]-
|
||
customize and change the PW. Also be sure to leave your "Status" as well as
|
||
your "Familiy's, and Secretary's" at the system default of: "Not Defined"
|
||
|
||
[3] When people leave you messages, be sure they contain no information that
|
||
could be in any way "damaging" to you. Because if your accnt. is discovered
|
||
and subsequently closed down the operators of the system will have any msg.'s
|
||
that were meant for you.
|
||
|
||
[4] When sending a message to someone else who has also captured an accnt.
|
||
on the system, be sure to send it to the right accnt. #, so some fool in
|
||
marketing doesn't recieve "Here's the latest codes to that system you wanted"
|
||
when you punched in his accnt. by accident.
|
||
|
||
[5] Be aware that be people who have not hacked their own accounts on the Ads
|
||
you are currently on can still leave you messages on a "Guest PW". When they
|
||
want to do so they simply type in your last name (the accnt.'s last name) when
|
||
they connect to the Ads then when prompted for: "Please key-press your PW"
|
||
they just use the "Guest PW" which is at default usually IBM, but you of course
|
||
can change it to whatever you want. ie: your Guest PW could be re-defined to
|
||
be: "Phreak" not a particularly advisable one, but valid.
|
||
|
||
[6] Try to find your own Ads system through scanning of phone #'s several
|
||
digits from that of a IBM (or other) Co5478
