It turns out that there are several Japanese handheld transceivers (HT's)
|
|
availible in the US for use by ham radio hobbyists that have hidden
|
|
features allowing them to operate in the 800MHz band used by cellular
|
|
telephones. Using an FSK decoder chip and a personal computer running an
|
|
assembly language program to record and decypher the ID beeps at the beginning
|
|
of cellular calls, a "phone book" of cellular ID's can be compiled. A simple
|
|
FSK oscillator controlled by the PC can then be used to dial out using the
|
|
Handheld Transceiver and the captured ID codes.
|
|
|
|
A low tech analysis could be done by taping the beeps and playing them back
|
|
at slow speed into an oscilloscope. An edited tape may even be adequate for
|
|
retransmission; no decyphering required.
|
|
|
|
Several radio stores in Los Angeles sell the HT's and have given advice in
|
|
the past about how to access the hidden out-of-band tuning features in the
|
|
ROMS of the Japanese HT's. It's possible now to listen in to cellular
|
|
phone conversations without building any special hardware. In fact if you
|
|
have a good antenna, or live near a cellular repeater tower, you can
|
|
pick up celluar calls using a UHF TV with a sliding tuner by tuning in
|
|
"channels" between 72 and 83 on the UHF dial.
|
|
|
|
Beside the obvious benefits of unlimited, untraceable, national mobile
|
|
voice communication, there are other uses for cellular hacking.
|
|
For instance: most people using cellular phones are pretty upscale.
|
|
It may be possible to scan for ID codes of the telephones of major
|
|
corporations and their executives and get insider stock trading information.
|
|
Simply by logging the called and calling parties you will be able to compile
|
|
a database mapping out the executive level command & communication structure.
|
|
If this is linked to a remote controlled tape deck you will know precisely
|
|
what is going on and be able to note any unusual activity, such as calls
|
|
between the executives of corporations that are in a takeover or leveraged
|
|
buy out relationship. It is even likely that you will occasionally intercept
|
|
calls between investors and their stock brokers, or calls discussing plans
|
|
for new contracts.
|
|
|
|
This data is most safely used for insider trading of your own; there will be
|
|
no way that the Securities and Exchange Commission can establish a link
|
|
between you and the insiders. A more risky proposition would be to offer any
|
|
intelligence gathered to competitors for a price as industrial espionage.
|
|
|
|
Then there are the anarchy & disruption angles for cybernetic guerrilla
|
|
action at the corporate economic & financial level. Leaking info to the
|
|
press can kill a deal or move stock prices prematurely. Intelligence
|
|
gathered via cellular hacking can also be used to plan operations against
|
|
corporate mainframes by providing names and keywords, or indicating vital
|
|
information to be searched for. Listening to the phone calls of candidates
|
|
and their campaign staff is also a field rich in possibilities.
|
|
|
|
A related technology waiting to be hacked is the nationwide net of pocket
|
|
pagers. The possibilities for executive harrassment using beeper technology
|
|
are relatively unexplored.
|
|
|
|
There are also several on-line instant stock & commodity quotation systems
|
|
that use SCA subcarriers to transmit investment data. By watching activity
|
|
on these networks you will be able to look over the shoulder of investors
|
|
as they plan their strategy - what kind of inquiries are they making and what
|
|
the results are.
|
|
|
|
Here are a few of the online investment services (business offices, ca.1987)

|
|
(Or check recent ads in Wall Street Journal etc.)
|
|
|
|
At any rate, I propose that we start pooling info about cellular phones
|
|
toward the goal of building a 'rosetta stone' of cellular dialing protocols,
|
|
frequencies, technical info and hardware/software hacks.
|
|
|
|
High on the hit list is a service/repair manual for a cellular phone, and
|
|
journal or technical articles about the inner workings of the cellular
|
|
phone system.
