$ THE IC'S RULES OF PHREAKING $
|
||
$ $
|
||
$ These are the standards of hacking employed by $
|
||
$ the Inner Core. The text comes from a data file $
|
||
$ written by and for IC members. HACK YOUR OWN $
|
||
$ CODES. Don't leech codes from someone else. $
|
||
$ Having codes is like having sex, if you don't $
|
||
$ protect yourself you'll end up with a venereal $
|
||
$ disease. You have no idea where a code has been $
|
||
$ before you got your hands on it, when it was $
|
||
$ hacked or how long it's been in circulation. Time $
|
||
$ is a very important factor, the longer a code has $
|
||
$ been in use, the greater the risk. $
|
||
$ $
|
||
$ DON'T STAY ON A CODE MORE THAN THREE DAYS. Don't $
|
||
$ give the suckers an even break. To run a trace, $
|
||
$ MCI needs a court order. Ain't that nice. Paper $
|
||
$ work takes time, and it's highly unlikely that $
|
||
$ they could accomplish the feat in three days. $
|
||
$ $
|
||
$ It' s even more unlikely that they would even $
|
||
$ know they've been phreaked for at least a $
|
||
$ week. All company's have thirty day billing $
|
||
$ cycles, if you started using the code the day $
|
||
$ after the bills went out, you'd have twenty nine $
|
||
$ days left to play with it. The customer gets his $
|
||
$ billing and bitches up a storm. The company now $
|
||
$ has the option of setting up a trap, but alas, $
|
||
$ they notice that you haven't used the code in $
|
||
$ three weeks and have no destination number to $
|
||
$ PIN . If you phreaked the code one day before the $
|
||
$ billing cycle ends, then the customer may notice $
|
||
$ right away. Figure you have two days for it to $
|
||
$ reach the customer. If he yells right away it $
|
||
$ takes a few more days for the security department $
|
||
$ to process the paperwork for the trace. By that $
|
||
$ time you're long gone. $
|
||
$ $
|
||
$ DON'T STAY ON A CODE MORE THAN THREE DAYS. If you $
|
||
$ insist on burning the same company, you're going $
|
||
$ to develop a pattern they can spot. You call your $
|
||
$ girl friend in Alaska every damned day using the $
|
||
$ same company. It doesn't take a genius to predict $
|
||
$ what you're going to do tomorrow. They know where $
|
||
$ you enter their system and where you're going to. $
|
||
$ You've given them everything they need to run a $
|
||
$ good trace. Spread the wealth a little. Use US $
|
||
$ Telecom, then ITT, Lexitel, Skyline, Metro and a $
|
||
$ few of the 800's if you like. Spread it out. $
|
||
$ These people have no way of comparing. So you $
|
||
$ can screw Peter, Paul and the rest of the $
|
||
$ Apostles with no worry. Just don't be a dip stick $
|
||
$ and get lazy. $
|
||
$ $
|
||
$ Everyone is worried about THE TRACE. Don't be. $
|
||
$ It's no big deal for AT&T, after all it is their $
|
||
$ network, but for the leech services it's an $
|
||
$ entirely different matter. This is why we don't $
|
||
$ mess around with AT&T except through secondary $
|
||
$ accesses like PBX's or Diverters. $
|
||
$ $
|
||
$ This is the senerio that MCI's security $
|
||
$ department will run down. $
|
||
$ $
|
||
$ They call up a number that you've called....... $
|
||
$ $
|
||
$ "Hello, this is Inspector Bullshit with MCI. Did $
|
||
$ you receive a phone call from the 212 area code $
|
||
$ on November 22, 1945 at 4:00 A. M.? " $
|
||
$ "You didn't?" $
|
||
$ "We've traced fourteen calls to this number in $
|
||
$ the last two weeks, by the way, who am I $
|
||
$ speaking with?" $
|
||
$ "Well Mrs. Blabbermouth, perhaps someone else in $
|
||
$ your household received the calls? " $
|
||
$ "I see, your daughter has a boyfriend in New $
|
||
$ York." $
|
||
$ I'm afraid that he's in some serious trouble Mrs. $
|
||
$ B. If you'll cooperate with me we won't pursue $
|
||
$ this matter with your daughter." $
|
||
$ "That's correct, little Susie Blabbermouth won't $
|
||
$ be involved. It would be a shame to cause you $
|
||
$ folks trouble, after all she didn't actually make $
|
||
$ the calls." $
|
||
$ "All I need is the boy's name and phone number." $
|
||
$ "Let me see if I have that right." $
|
||
$ Jimmy Phreaker at 212-555-1212?" $
|
||
$ "Thank you Mrs. B you've been very helpful." $
|
||
$ $
|
||
$ The key point is, if Bullshit had really run $
|
||
$ traces he wouldn't be calling to con the $
|
||
$ information. The exchange is typical of cons used $
|
||
$ by most phone companys and illustrate several $
|
||
$ important issues. Make sure that the person $
|
||
$ you're calling is cool and there's no chance $
|
||
$ that someone else could rat on you. It is very $
|
||
$ unlikely that MCI will make such a call if you $
|
||
$ use the IC's Rules of Phreaking. Yet, if it were $
|
||
$ to occur these are your friend's options.... $
|
||
$ $
|
||
$ 1. HANGUP $
|
||
$ 2. "FUCK YOU"...THEN HANG UP $
|
||
$ 3. "I WAS WATCHING MIAMI VICE AND YOU INTERRUPT $
|
||
$ ME WITH THIS CRAP. FUCK YOU"....HANG UP $
|
||
$ 4. If you want to be nice about it; "I don't know $
|
||
$ what you're talking about.....HANG UP. $
|
||
$ $
|
||
$ The problem is now resolved. $
|
||
$ Remember these guys are like rabid dogs in heat, $
|
||
$ they're excellant con artists. Believe nothing $
|
||
$ you hear. You don't have to talk to them. If $
|
||
$ they had anything on you they'd be standing at $
|
||
$ your door with a search warrant. Their abilities $
|
||
$ in this area a very restricted. They operate by $
|
||
$ manipulating your fear and you have nothing to $
|
||
$ fear but your own fear. Don't try to come up with $
|
||
$ some lame explanation, you know you received the $
|
||
$ call and they know it. So don't make an ass out $
|
||
$ of yourself trying to explain away the obvious - $
|
||
$ HANG UP! $
|
||
$ $
|
||
$ What happens if your are caught? Congratulate $
|
||
$ yourself on being an asshole. The number of $
|
||
$ phreaks caught are so small that you have now $
|
||
$ qualified for membership in a really elite group $
|
||
$ of jerks. Inspector Bullshit now has several $
|
||
$ options. Grab your computer, this will be done no $
|
||
$ matter what. Grab your data files and any hard $
|
||
# copy you have laying around. This to help $
|
||
$ identify other subversives and also to supply $
|
||
$ incriminating information about you. Try to scare $
|
||
$ you into a confession. Standard operating $
|
||
$ procedure - keep your fucking mouth shut. You $
|
||
$ have nothing to gain by talking and a much to $
|
||
$ lose. If you're a minor<6F>you can forget about jail $
|
||
$ time, an adult is looking at a couple of weeks in $
|
||
$ the slam - may-be. Realize this, they don't $
|
||
$ really want your ass as much as they want THE $
|
||
$ MONEY. That's right boys and girls the buck talks $
|
||
$ loud and clear. If you're caught, you've broken $
|
||
$ every one of the IC's rules. At worst you're $
|
||
$ looking at a couple of thousand in phone bills. $
|
||
$ Get a lawyer to do your talking for you, that'll $
|
||
$ be about a five hundred dollar retainer. If the $
|
||
$ company is willing to settle for the money, and $
|
||
$ your computer, pay it - it's cheaper in the long $
|
||
$ run. If they want you in the kalaboose then fight $
|
||
$ it. As a first time offender the odds of you $
|
||
$ actually getting time is slim. Incidentally, $
|
||
$ Inspector Bullshit will drop a little extra on $
|
||
$ the bill for good measure. Have the attorney $
|
||
$ demand that they produce their records of all $
|
||
$ "alleged phone conversations". In fighting a $
|
||
$ phreaking case you'll want to have a jury trial. $
|
||
$ The technology behind the running of a trace is $
|
||
$ so complicated that even a half assed lawyer $
|
||
$ could confuse the average layman. He can make $
|
||
$ Inspector Bullshit describe switching down to $
|
||
$ atomic subparticles if he wants and by the time $
|
||
$ he gets to how a trace works the jury would be $
|
||
$ so confused that you'd skate on a "reasonable $
|
||
$ doubt". It would be interesting to see if a sharp $
|
||
$ shark could subpoena the actual equipment used to $
|
||
$ run the trace. I don't think that MCI would care $
|
||
$ to have one of their computers offline for the $
|
||
$ time it would take to have "independant" $
|
||
$ examiners checking out the functionality of the $
|
||
$ switching mechanisms. To phreak or not to phreak. $
|
||
$ It's a question only you can answer for yourself. $
