IMPORTED ON 3/26/89 BY BLACK PETER (MAFIA DUDE)
|
|
|
|
Okay Students it's about time this information was released. There has been
|
|
enough "crap" circulated by Telescum that "Phreaking is just not possible in
|
|
Australia" - anything is possible if you really want to do it. Where there is
|
|
a will there is a way. I will start will the simple and "effective" methods of
|
|
phreaking to the really difficult but managable methods of making phree phone
|
|
calls. Okay lets first start with the basics.
|
|
|
|
[1]. Don't let Telescum know that you are out there. Keep a low profile or else
|
|
you will get a Call Logging machine put on your line that records all the
|
|
numbers you have called with time, duration etc. etc.
|
|
|
|
[2]. Try not to receive to many ISD phone calls from phellow phreaks from
|
|
overseas and make sure other local "phreaks" or people that have been
|
|
targeted by Telecom Investigations Dept. (ie. They have a Call Logging
|
|
Machine on their line) NEVER call you.
|
|
Lets say a targeted phreaker "A" makes heaps of calls to "XXX-XXXX" all
|
|
the time. Mr.Telecom simply punches in this number into the Leopard system
|
|
and the "account information" (address, customer name etc.) will appear on
|
|
the screen. Then if they want you will get a Call Logger on your line as
|
|
well.
|
|
As for the ISD calls. A famous or infamous? phreak (Know spending his time
|
|
in jail - BIT MAPPER) was staying at a remote location in Melbourne.
|
|
Telecom wanted to find him for "wire tapping crimes" - all they did was
|
|
look at ISD incomming telephone log. What did they find ? Heaps and heaps
|
|
of calls from overseas (United States) to a certain phone number in
|
|
Melbourne. Look like they found their man.
|
|
|
|
[3]. Make sure the phone line that you are using is NOT on a AXE exchange (for
|
|
obvious reasons ie. Fully computerised!). Phreak on Step By Step, Crossbar
|
|
or even ARF or ARE-11 (majority of exchanges in Australia).
|
|
|
|
[4]. Never abuse people on the phone which forces them to get traces put on the
|
|
line. I am not going to go into any great detail about the various types
|
|
of phone exchanges but thanks to Telecom you can obtain "Telecom
|
|
Information Kit No.3" -The Switching Place, which gives heaps of
|
|
information on the various telephone exchanges. Try Telecom Public
|
|
relations or some other department.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Method Number 1. - "Phool The Operator"
|
|
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
|
|
|
|
Dial 011 (National Trunk Calls).Be nice & sweet to the operator. On AXE they
|
|
have the number you are calling from on their screen. On other exchanges they
|
|
have the first three digits of your phone number eg. 348. Here is a typical
|
|
conversation.
|
|
|
|
You - "Hello, Sydney Please - 02 321 1234"
|
|
Oper - "Your Number Sir/Madam etc. that you are calling from ?"
|
|
You - "348-5665"
|
|
|
|
The operator will probably re-check the number by reading it back to you.
|
|
|
|
Oper - "Is that straight through or Reverse charge ?"
|
|
You - "Straight through please."
|
|
|
|
Now if you were very nice she will probably connect you without any checks to
|
|
see whether the number you gave her is really yours. But as I said it must be
|
|
a number in your exchange prefix. If your number is 348-2555 then you can give
|
|
her any other 348-XXXX number. She might check to see if it's you by calling
|
|
that number (on another line on her console) to see if it's busy. A simple
|
|
type of check you could say. A way around this is to find a number that is
|
|
always busy in your exchange area (there should be many that are always busy)
|
|
or if you have two phones or two phone boxes that are back to back, call a
|
|
number on one phone eg. 348-1212 then leave the phone off hook. Whether the
|
|
person answers that number or not it will be busy for 90 seconds. Go to the
|
|
other phone, call the operator (011) and then give her 348-1212 for the number
|
|
you are calling from!. You can also make conference calls (up to ten people)
|
|
using this same method. Check your phone book for information on National
|
|
conference calls. etc. If the operator asks to call you back then you are a
|
|
real dickhead cause you have alerted her in some manner. Wait a few hours and
|
|
try again.
|
|
|
|
Side Effects:
|
|
|
|
When the person who you billed it to complains then this is what happens.
|
|
Telecom keep a record of the calls. So if you called a number in Sydney they
|
|
would probably get a call in a few months from Telecom saying "Do you know
|
|
anyone in Melbourne who called you for X amount of time on so date. You see
|
|
what they are trying to do - "Back Track the Call!!!" - The remedy is simply
|
|
Acute amnesia, Don't Know, Karn't Remember, I have many people that call me
|
|
from all over Australia etc. But be nice about it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Method No. 2 - "The Long Arm of AT&T"
|
|
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
|
|
|
|
AT&T provide many great services to their customers (unlike some other
|
|
moronic "phone company"). One of these services is called AT&T Direct. You
|
|
can call these AT&T direct operator numbers from virtually any major country
|
|
in the world toll free. Their purpose is for you to make a AT&T calling card
|
|
call to any "normal" number inside the United States. By Normal I mean a
|
|
XXX-XXX-XXXX type number - you cannot call 1-800's or 950 dialups etc. Also
|
|
you can make a "collect" (reverse charge) call to any "normal" number.
|
|
A calling card is issued by the local phone company in the US to a subscriber
|
|
and consists of the persons number and a four digit code or password. Lets
|
|
say your US number is 206 248 0301, if you had a calling card then your number
|
|
could be 206 248 0301 8860 where the last four digits indicate the code or
|
|
password. AT&T calling cards are always like this. Telecom Telecards (Sik)
|
|
have letters in them as well.
|
|
|
|
Here are the Dialups for AT&T and other countries phone companys:
|
|
|
|
USA AT&T DIRECT 0014 881 011 (& 012 013)
|
|
UK DIRECT 0014 881 440
|
|
JAPAN DIRECT 0014 881 810
|
|
CANADA DIRECT 0014 881 150
|
|
|
|
I have not checked Japan and Canada but for UK direct they except BT cards and
|
|
reverse charge as well. You can obtain calling cards from US phreaks or just
|
|
by hanging around at the airports (mostly US airports) - ie. the need for a
|
|
US contact. This method is pretty safe as all they know is you are calling
|
|
from Australia. You could be in Darwin, Perth, or Sydney and they would not
|
|
know. But of course they can use the "Back Tracking Method" to find out who
|
|
you are. The people who you call will just have to not be chickens and tell
|
|
the phone company over there conducting the investgation that they "did not
|
|
know who was calling them" - just some phreak from Aussie. Acute Amnesia is
|
|
good for you. Also with AT&T direct you can get them to make a Collect
|
|
Emergency Interupt if the telephone Number is busy. They will ask for a name
|
|
so just give them any name etc. With a phreak I knew in the states, I made
|
|
interupts with the name of "Fred Loop" - he refused. He then rung one side of
|
|
a local loop he knew. I made a collect call to the other side. He was there
|
|
waiting for the call so he said tothe operator "Yes I accept the call" and we
|
|
could talk on the loop. As for reverse charge phone calls to phone
|
|
boxes - they work in Aussie, UK and some boxes in the US.
|
|
|
|
UK - Phone Boxes there have the number written on them. Arrange a time & date
|
|
with a mate then make a collect call to the number.
|
|
Aus - Same here but boxes don't display the number. Try CLI (55-241) or if that
|
|
don't work ring 0101 (International) abuse the oper etc. then if they
|
|
have your number they will call you back and then you can talk to them
|
|
there. Or ring 0176 and say "someone needs to call you back at this box
|
|
can you give me the number, read the cabinet number to her then she
|
|
should give you the phone number of the box.
|
|
US - Their systems is pretty much computerised, they will probably call the
|
|
COIN op and tell you that that number is "barred" etc. BUT you can do it
|
|
to older type public phones, Crossbar or Step By Step etc. Old Fortress
|
|
Phones in the "older" country areas.
|
|
|
|
Following the AT&T direct information, if you have heaps of calling cards you
|
|
have the world at your fingertips. Cause from there you can dial PBX's, MCI,
|
|
SPRINT, ITT, METRO, etc. etc. and do what any normal US phreak can already do.
|
|
Including such luxurys as "Alliance Teleconferencing" & "Blue Boxing".
|
|
For that information I suggest you contact US phreaks or read the files
|
|
already available on phreaking in the US.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Method No.3 - "Blue Boxing - it works"
|
|
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
|
|
|
|
Okay Blue Boxing is possible from Down Under to the US system. Call a number
|
|
in an old exchange area (ie. Non ESS switching) that does not have 2600hz
|
|
traps etc. and while the phone is ringing or before it gets picked up - hence
|
|
the US phone systems sends out a charge signal (an actual tone) so OTC start
|
|
charging you for it. So while it's ringing blow a 2600hz and you have captured
|
|
a trunkline thats costing you $0.00. You see phones in the US don't stop
|
|
ringing unless you hang up the line. Here in Australia it's 90 second timeout.
|
|
You can do anything while your Blue Boxing but simply here is how you make
|
|
calls.
|
|
|
|
Blow a 2600hz (+ Pink Noise if necessary) then you should get a Ker Klunk and
|
|
silence. To make a call Blow - KP + Number + ST then you will get connected.
|
|
To reset the line just blow another 2600hz. Of course if you are an expert
|
|
you can stack trunks, divert calls, and even make calls into Australian Inward
|
|
lines hence phreak "Telecom" - which as you know is not officially "possible"
|
|
HA HA HA HA HA.
|
|
|
|
Here a sample Step By Step "old" US exchange: 609-953-XXXX.
|
|
|
|
You can usually tell these exchanges cause they have a "Warbly" weird type ring
|
|
tone. Not a pure type ring you get on US. ESS exchanges. You can box ISD
|
|
direct, but I would prefy to learn yourself rather then having all of it
|
|
presented on a Silver Platter. You will need a TouchTone generator (on your
|
|
phone or a Tandy Keypad) and a Blue Box. There are files from the US on how to
|
|
make your own or you can get a program for the 64 or for the Amiga (there is
|
|
Basic Listing attached to this article) which will generate all the tones you
|
|
need. There is also other information out there which I cannot reveal as yet.
|
|
There is a special "0014 XXX XXX" access number which gives you a priority
|
|
satellite channel phone line. Ie. Phree calls anywhere to ANY number and
|
|
crystal clearcomms. Just look out for yourself and write your own Phreaking
|
|
files on certain topics (eg. Boxing to Rate & Route etc.) in order to educate
|
|
yourselfs. Just obey the Golden Rule's and you will last forever:
|
|
|
|
[1] Never Talk to Telecom Investigation People.
|
|
[2] Deny it all. Even if they beat you up.
|
|
[3] Develop Acute Amnesia.
|
|
[4] You can't get caught "RED HANDED".
|
|
|
|
I hope people learn from this and one day look back and say that we were the
|
|
"Phounding Phreaks" for Down Under.
