Introdution to the Article
|
||
File One (of four)
|
||
|
||
This file was just to be a short set of definitions for those of you who
|
||
don't know all the phreaking terms. This was requested by a few people on a
|
||
small 312 board called The Magnetic Field Elite (312-966-0708, call, board has
|
||
potential) like Th e Don. But I have decided against making this small file
|
||
that is common in many places but instead to make something that I have never
|
||
seen before. Not just a common file but one of high technical use. With a
|
||
printout of this you will never need to mis sout on a definition again. But
|
||
that's not all. The file will discuss, indepth, the working of each of these
|
||
operations below. If you are viewing this file simply for the sake of finding
|
||
one meaning I suggest that you get the entire thing and then never need to call
|
||
and view phreak files again.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Topic 1: The Phone/Modem
|
||
|
||
Scince phreaking is impossible without a phone or modem you I will start
|
||
with the most important and most complex part of phreaking. The Phone. Now,
|
||
the phone is a device that transfer sounds as sound enters a receiver, is
|
||
transfered to an amoun t of voltage, sent tcall goes out. The
|
||
station determines the units per minute and start billing as soon as the called
|
||
phone answers.All calls are automaticaly one minute long. If you hit a one as
|
||
the first digit you dial the phone recignizes this as a long distance call and
|
||
sends you to either the At&t switching station or to another long distance
|
||
service if you have chose to use other than At&t.
|
||
If you are using a At&t the call goes through the long distance switching
|
||
station where unit per minute is determined and then it is refered to the
|
||
number you called. The call may be slowed down depending on how many times the
|
||
switching station c hanges between you and the place you are calling. If it
|
||
changes between ESS and X-Bar (described below) one it would go through fast.
|
||
If it changed between them 50 times it would be a very slow call going through.
|
||
Plus the sound quality may decrease bu t that is not a fact, just an
|
||
understanding I have come to when callign long distance with At&t.
|
||
If you are calling through any other service, such as MCI, Alnet, Teleco,
|
||
US Sprint or any of the other endless companies, then things are not the same
|
||
for long distance calls.
|
||
You call first goes to the company you call through and price of call is
|
||
determined by any of the ways a company determines price. The call then goes
|
||
out through the lines to the long distance companie's station nearest to the
|
||
number you dialed a nd tres to go though. If the number is too far away from a
|
||
station you may get a "The number you have dialed cannot be reached from your
|
||
calling area."
|
||
Thus, you have the basic information of how call goes out.Now to get to
|
||
phreaking and the real reson you read this file.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Topic 3: The Long Distance Company and Codes.
|
||
|
||
The way of using a different long distance company or not paying a quarter
|
||
when calling from a payphone. Using the phone card or the code.
|
||
Names for these numbers:
|
||
950's
|
||
800's
|
||
Extenders.
|
||
PBX's
|
||
950 ports
|
||
Port
|
||
Code port
|
||
(Company name) port
|
||
|
||
The above mentioned names are the phreaks lifeline. They are places where
|
||
you call and enter a code, then the area code of the place you want to call and
|
||
finally the number for the place you want to call. When the code is entered it
|
||
is checked i f it is valid and then the person how owns the code pays for the
|
||
call. If the code is not valid you normaly get a message saying that the code
|
||
you entered is not valid.
|
||
When a call goes through it is the same as a normal long distance call
|
||
except that it is charged to the owner of the card.
|
||
Some places may require that you enter a nine or a one before you enter the
|
||
code.
|
||
Now, the phreak uses these places by calling them over and over again until
|
||
they get a code. But they do this with a computer and a program such as
|
||
Hack-a-Matic, Hacking Construction Set (often called HCS), Hack This Buddy,
|
||
Intellihacker (Old), C at-(and then a name, for the Apple Cat.Has to many
|
||
names to list), and some others. These are all Apple programs but there are
|
||
also code hackers for the Commodor 64, 128, Amiga, IBM (of course) and so on.
|
||
Most computers have them.
|
||
One thing I have found useful is to use a Radio Shack portable computer
|
||
with a built in modem and hack from other houses, this is much safer. Secrity
|
||
in these companies run from really tough (MCI) to sad (like the places that try
|
||
to scare off hackers with tape recordings). 950 ports in the ESS area are set
|
||
up to trace and could do so very easily but for some reson they are against it.
|
||
Possibly the time and modey to cheack the calls and pay for tracing. Places
|
||
have gotton tougher though, if three people get busted off a number in one week
|
||
and this has never happened before then you can almost be sure that they have
|
||
stepped up security and that it is time to use a new port.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Now I will discuss some of the things used by the Phreak.
|
||
|
||
Topic 4: The Loop
|
||
|
||
Loops, although they may seem fun they are really rather useless. They
|
||
work as follows.
|
||
Two numbers are looped together. Usually they are almost the same just a
|
||
digit different from one another. If you call the lower number you will wait a
|
||
few secounds and then hear a 1000mhz. tone. If you call the higher number you
|
||
will hear nothing. If you can one number (dosen't matter which) and someone
|
||
else calls the other number you will be able to talk to each other. The
|
||
purpose of these is to test trunk lines. This way they could make sure there
|
||
was no break in each trunk.
|
||
Now the old purpose for loops was that they where free to call so one
|
||
person would call one and another would call the other and they would get to
|
||
talk for free. Also, one person might call one number and just wait and talk
|
||
to whoever called the other number. Like a two line bridge.
|
||
Today you cannot call these without being charged because the phone company
|
||
caught on. But you can split a phone call with these so if there is a loop
|
||
between you and a person you want to talk to you can only pay for half by
|
||
calling the loop. And the phone company dosen't care because either way they
|
||
get their money.
|
||
The billing service for a loop is one all by itself, not like normal local
|
||
calling and for this reson I might almost belive the rumor that Blue Box tones
|
||
can be used to call loops.
|
||
The loops billing service didn't exist awhile back so a call to one was
|
||
free. Now, if you call this new billing system picks it up. But the loops
|
||
billing system is just something that At&t scraped together and there are most
|
||
likly some holes in the system (like not recording blue box tone generation
|
||
numbers).
|
||
|
||
|
||
Topic 5: The Diverter
|
||
|
||
The diverter has been a very simple, yet incredibly usefulthing through the
|
||
years.To use one you must call, after hours and let someone answer the phone,
|
||
don't answer them, let them hang up and get a faint dialtone. Then you dial
|
||
again and call from the diverter.
|
||
Before, you could use a diverter and call through it. The you would only
|
||
be charged for the call to the diverter, not the one after it. That bill went
|
||
to the diverter itself. But they fix this problem easily and now you still get
|
||
charged if you are in the ESS area.
|
||
Also before, you could use a diverter to call a number that traces and
|
||
instead of being traced to your number it is traced to the diverter. But ESS
|
||
eliminated that too.
|
||
But you can still use a diverter to call hard to reach numbers. Like if
|
||
you called a place and it gave you a "The number you have dial cannot be reach
|
||
from your calling area" then if you knew of a diverter in the area of the
|
||
number you could call through it to the unreachable number and get through.
|
||
The way a diverter works is after hours when you call a place the call is
|
||
forwarded to another place.Then, when you don't answer the person at the other
|
||
place hangs up and your call tries to disconnect from the forwared number and
|
||
you end up at the diverter with it's dialtone.

To those of you who are new to phreaking and modeming I really hope to have
|
||
helped. The modem world is a great place to be.In all my time here I have only
|
||
found one person that I don't like (The Belgarion De Riviara). Although he
|
||
and his friends pestered me alittle to much I hold him alone responsible, not
|
||
his friends, as friends seem to follow their own.
