Introduction:
|
||
|
||
In this, the second part of 'The Beginners Guide to
|
||
Phreaking - the lost art' I will discuss what extenders, ports,
|
||
and 800 dialups are. I'll tell how they can work for you, how
|
||
they can work against you, and all the other good stuff that you
|
||
have come to expect.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Ports and Extenders :
|
||
|
||
Ports and extenders are BASICALLY the same thing. Some
|
||
phreaks argue amongst each other upon technicalities... BUT
|
||
If you've never heard of any of them, that's ok. Ports and
|
||
extenders are numbers that a LD (Long Distance) Service (GTE,
|
||
SPRINT, MCI, Etc...) issues their customers - to access their LD
|
||
carrier. Once the customer dials this extender or port [950-XXXX
|
||
, or 1-800-XXX-XXXX] he then enters his access code and the
|
||
number he wants to call. He is then billed for the call later on
|
||
around the 30th of the month. Clear enough.
|
||
|
||
Now, what YOU can do is. Find a local extender [950-XXXX,
|
||
or 1-800-XXX-XXXX]. You can do this by asking a local phreaker
|
||
for one. Try to find out the order in which then code is entered
|
||
(Some extenders have you enter the phone number, then the code...
|
||
most are code first, though.) Then, start hacking it... you can
|
||
try this manually - but that is lame. Hacking an extender is
|
||
done automatically by programs. The most popular hacking program
|
||
is Code Thief. This program supports a full range of options,
|
||
and works great. What the hacking program does : 1]Dials the
|
||
extender. 2]Enters the code, and phone number. 3] Waits for a
|
||
modem connection. The ONLY reason this works is because Code
|
||
Thief entered a modem line as the Target (The # you wanna call is
|
||
called the target.) SO, when the modem connects - you know you
|
||
entered the right code!
|
||
|
||
|
||
Warning:
|
||
|
||
Lately, the above methods have become dangerous. The only
|
||
reason phreaking has become dangerous, and endangered is due to
|
||
the fact that phreaks ABUSE the codes they hack. Personally...
|
||
whenever I get a new code, I use it twice from home (to call LD
|
||
boards) then discard it, or use it from phone booths to call
|
||
porno lines, or WHATEVER! This is the ONLY way. If you start
|
||
going crazy on a code they WILL come and take your computer away
|
||
from you.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Closing:
|
||
|
||
In closing, phreaking is truly 'a lost art' simply because
|
||
not many people out there are educated about it. Phreaking can
|
||
be very fun and exciting. It can also be VERY harmful to your
|
||
health. Stay away from Sprint and MCI as a rule. Smaller Phone
|
||
companies are less likely to bust you because they don't have the
|
||
resources.
