Pra-Do-Gee
|
|
Or.. How to Hack Into Prodigy
|
|
By: Dave S.O.B.
|
|
|
|
_0.1_Introduction_
|
|
|
|
The Beginning is a good place to start so I will start there. What you
|
|
are about to read or just glance over is a thorough document on the Prodigy
|
|
services and a particular bug in their billing system that will allow you the
|
|
hacker to make an account there and keep it indefiently without ever paying
|
|
a cent. Before finding this bug I just hung around Prodigy and laughed at the
|
|
Lamer infestation which is currently there. Even then it had potential, but
|
|
now the most vurnable online system in america has new features for the
|
|
underground world to take advantage of. Prodigy will now; Send faxes for you,
|
|
allow you to recieve Internet Mail, Send U.S. Mail <Usefull> and a few other
|
|
things. What is better though is that Prodigy always assumes that you are a
|
|
good customer and does not really look at each user as a potential loss of
|
|
profit. So prodigy is free game and easy to get in to.. Even little 13 year
|
|
old jerkoffs can make fake accounts on prodigy. I hope that after reading
|
|
this document you will have enough information to become as the prodigy local
|
|
lamers call it 'A Prodigy God' and make the morons do your bidding.
|
|
|
|
_0.2_S.O.B._
|
|
|
|
S.O.B. stands for Servants Of Babuska. We are a small group, but when we
|
|
got on to prodigy as the only real hacking group around we where meet with
|
|
open arms and kids who where willing to do anything just to get a text file.
|
|
Our group which has been together for about two years has stayed local with
|
|
a few members on prodigy <or trainees as i called them> and we just
|
|
concentrated on getting into the systems in town. Well, I the author and
|
|
current group leader got into a nice system in middle Texas when I found out
|
|
about the bug in the billing system. So I decided to write the document for
|
|
two reasons 1) To upload it to other systems and get on the good side of
|
|
SysOps and get some file points 2) To tell the world that we are here. So
|
|
here it is, the first of possibly many documents by me.. Dave S.O.B. Oh well
|
|
I guess that's enough.. on with the document.

_1.2_Disclaimer_
|
|
|
|
This Document was written for the sole purpose of informing the world
|
|
about the prodigy service and some of the potential it has. Any real life
|
|
use of the document is not my fault. Thou I do not condone it, I do not
|
|
recommend it.
|
|
|
|
_1.3_A Warning or Two_
|
|
|
|
While on Prodigy never give out your real name or phone number. Some of
|
|
those kids might get mad at you and turn you in. Their a fickle lot so make
|
|
sure and keep your indentity safe. Also never use your own adress when
|
|
sending things by Credit Card to your house.. always put an abandonded house
|
|
or a willing idiots adress so you can pick up whatever you want.
|
|
|
|
_2.1_The Prodigy Account Structure_
|
|
|
|
Unlike many other online systems that use numeric combinations for
|
|
naming their accounts Prodigy uses a very easy to remember alpha-numeric code
|
|
assigned to each account. The sample of which goes like this.. AAAA00A. The
|
|
first four letters and two numbers indicate the account itself, the last
|
|
letter tells what household member it is. You see, when you get your prodigy
|
|
account you recieve an 'A' Account or the parent account who supposedly pays
|
|
for everything, he is also the only one they ask for an adress for. But from
|
|
this 'A' account you can create 5 other branch accounts which your friends
|
|
can use. So the 6 accounts would look like this: AAAA00A, AAAA00B, AAAA00C,
|
|
AAAA00D, AAAA00E and AAAA00F. The 'A' account controls acess to the other
|
|
accounts. This was orginally made so that the parent could control what their
|
|
kids where doing and that each household resident could have his personal
|
|
account. Also accompenied with the A account is a temporary or 'intial sign
|
|
on' password. It is a 6 letter combination like wjsjfu. It is also used when
|
|
the branch accounts log in for the first time. After you log in once you can
|
|
set the password to your own prefrence up to 10 letters.
|
|
|
|
_2.2_Adding more accounts_
|
|
|
|
Ok, so you logged on and made an account <described later> now you want
|
|
to make some branch accounts for your friends to log on with and use as well.
|
|
Ok, go to the bottom of the screen <when you are logged on> and click the
|
|
TOOL function. Then go to the Add A Member menu. From their it will take you
|
|
to another member.. go to adding another household member. Then add an
|
|
account. Make sure to allow use of Plus Serivices or your friends cannot use
|
|
the Bulletin Boards <Message Bases descirbed later>. There you go, give your
|
|
friend their account name and the intial logon password which should be on
|
|
the add a member screen. They can log on and add their own information name
|
|
and the like.
|
|
|
|
_2.3_Logging on for the first time_
|
|
|
|
Ok, you just got the A account and the intial password. You have two
|
|
options.. you can set the number to you local Tymenet site or let the program
|
|
call the Prodigy Number Directory where it will give you your local number to
|
|
call to log on. Either way it is safe. Ok, you will see a little screen after
|
|
you connect to the Prodigy Service <not the number directory> which will say
|
|
Prodigy Enrollment. It will then ask you for your name, adress, phone number,
|
|
Date Of Birth and method of payment. Ok... Your name can be anything.. I am
|
|
Mau'Dib Gates currently. Your adress should be an abondened house or a
|
|
willing reciepent so you can reicieve any packages you order. The phone
|
|
number does not need to be provided.. but doing so does not hurt. Ok, now
|
|
for the Date Of Birth.. Make sure you put your self at atleast 18 which you
|
|
have to be for prodigy to let you own the A account. But don't make yourself
|
|
over 20 or you can't use the 'Teens Bulletin Board' which is where alot of
|
|
people always are. Ok.. next comes the method of payment which is really
|
|
how the hell are you going to pay us. This is where the bug comes in.. and I
|
|
will describe it in detail next.
|
|
|
|
_2.4_Method Of Payment or How the Hell are you going to pay us
|
|
|
|
Ok, here comes the long awaited bug. It will ask you what you would like
|
|
to pay by.. Mastercard, Visa, American Express, Discover, Check or Prodigy
|
|
Auto Pay. Prodigy Auto Pay is where they debit your fees directly from your
|
|
banking account. Check is ok but you can't get into the premium services with
|
|
it. So choose a credit card.. Then get an old credit card number you have
|
|
that you know the company will reject but numerically is correct. In other
|
|
words a credit card that looks ok numerically but will be rejected by the
|
|
company... Why you ask? This is the bug. After Prodigy finds out that the
|
|
Credit Card is bad and the company is specific won't pay for it they will
|
|
send you a nice friendly letter saying it was and that the bill will be sent
|
|
to the adress you gave them. But according to Prodigy's Billing Computer you
|
|
are paying by credit card and you owe them nothing.
|
|
|
|
_3.1_A flaw in the bug_
|
|
|
|
Even though the Billing Computer will be fooled the rest of the system
|
|
won't be.. so sign up for any of the 'Custom Choices' you want before the
|
|
credit card is rejected.. you usually have a few days to do this.
|
|
|
|
_4.1_Popular Abbreviations in use on Prodigy
|
|
|
|
Ok.. Now you are on Prodigy and you read the notes they left.. Now what
|
|

|
|
_5.1_Bulletin Boards or Message Bases_
|
|
|
|
Bulletin Boards or BB's for short is where you can talk to other prodigy
|
|
members. There are many subjects.. Teens, Games, Arts, Computer BB and
|
|
others. But they are censored.. you cannot openly cuss <unless you are
|
|
speaking in a foreign tounge or are putting *'s for letters>. Unless you are
|
|
on one of the Custom Choice bulletin board's. A Custom Choice is a game or
|
|
service that prodigy charges you extra to use beacuse it is better. And the
|
|
BB's that the Custom Choice's have usually have something called auto posting
|
|
or instant posting, which means that the post is not censored and goes up the
|
|
moment you click the send button. These Auto Post BB's are the closest thing
|
|
to live chat you can have where more than one person can respond and talk
|
|
with no delay on waiting for a response other than his slow typing speed.
|
|
Now, when you get into a BB it will have a little menu. It will say oldest
|
|
notes to look for, which basicly means look at notes that where posted since
|
|
the date and time you specify. The next is wether or not to include older
|
|
posts that include replies that where made after the date and time you
|
|
specified. Then comes the topic selection. From there you can pick the topic
|
|
of which you want to read from. Next will come To and From where you can
|
|
specify all posts that a person made or sent to him. You don't put his name,
|
|
you put his prodigy account name. Then there is begin reading notes which
|
|
will let you pick a note in the topic you picked to start reading. All notes
|
|
are alphabatized for order. Next is the Exclude ID function. With this you
|
|
can input some people's ID that whose posts you would rather not see. Then
|
|
the last choice will be Wite a Public Note.. this function will let you write
|
|
a new note of your prefrence that can start up your own conversation.
|
|
|
|
_6.1_Prodigy Clubs_
|
|
|
|
Most of the people on Prodigy like to band together in clubs. There are
|
|
three types of clubs on Prodigy. There is a Talk Club, a Talk Club is where
|
|
the members just socialize and talk. Then there is a RP club, where the
|
|
members pretend to be someone else and have a community of sorts. Finnaly
|
|
there are the little bash and hack clubs. On Prodigy a Basher is someone
|
|
who goes around and insults people.. they are harmless but annoying. A
|
|
Prodigy Hacker is usually just someone who has a couple of text files, or
|
|
has a couple of Prodigy Accounts or likes to try to guess people's passwords.
|
|
So all these clubs are pretty pathetic, but they can be a pain in the ass to
|
|
you when you are trying to do something. So you have two options.. befriend
|
|
them and trade knowledge for their services <such as bashing other people for
|
|
you or getting some lamer to leave you alone to do other things>. Or you can
|
|
try to get rid of them. Most of these basher clubs have divisions. A hacker
|
|
division and Basher Division etc.. they try to structure their members like
|
|
military men. They also have spies which are people who use a seperate
|
|
prodigy ID to assume another alias and join another club. Prodigy clubs love
|
|
to fight on another.
|
|
|
|
_6.2_Destroying A Prodigy Club_
|
|
|
|
Though it may seem stupid at first these bands of morons can be
|
|
annoying when you are trying to do something or if you move into their
|
|
'terrirtory'. Usually showing them how lame their leader is or just continual
|
|
public bashing will drive them apart and send them on their seperate ways.
|
|
|
|
_6.3_A List of some clubs_
|
|
|
|
You are bound to run into one so why not know who they are eh?
|
|
|
|
EOTH - Empire of the Huns. These guys are mostly a bunch of 14-16 year old
|
|
lamers who are lead by a guy named Blue Tooth. Their objective is to
|
|
'control' ever Prodigy BB. Unfortanetly since Prodigy does not like
|
|
bashers they always get their notes deleted and their accounts cancled
|
|
alot sooner than anyone elses
|
|
|
|
LOP - I'm not sure what LOP stands for but I know the guy who formed it.
|
|
He calls himself Dragon Slayer... he's alright. They are mostly a
|
|
talk club.
|
|
|
|
AWP - Anyone Want to Party. AWP is one of the bigger and lamer of the talk
|
|
clubs out there. All they do is talk an throw little 'parties' where
|
|
they all get together and supposedly dance.
|
|
|
|
MED - Or Juanolia is a RP Club.. it is set in medieval times and they just
|
|
sit around.
|
|
|
|
XTC - Extacy is another little Talk Club with a bash and hack 'division'.
|
|
|
|
PUO - Prodigy Underground Organization. This does not really exist.. some
|
|
little lamer named White Knight made this up to try to trick me out of
|
|
my real name.
|
|
|
|
Acid Alliance - Thou this does exist on Delphi it does NOT exist on prodigy
|
|
it is just another lie by White Knight.
|
|
|
|
TC - Total Chaos. This clubs orginal intention was to some day put a virus
|
|
into prodigy main system.. make it crash and a little screen saying
|
|
TC come up. How ever after showing them that with what little they
|
|
knew this would be frankly impossible they became just another
|
|
club.
|
|
|
|
Well.. that's all the major ones I can think of right now, If I ever
|
|
decide to update this document I will add on to it.
|
|
|
|
_7.1_Ordering and Downloading things from Prodigy_
|
|
|
|
Every time you go to a Prodigy merchant and order something it asks you
|
|
to enter a credit card. Thus you can use diffrent ones every time. One good
|
|
thing about this is that Prodigy does not care about name or experiation
|
|
dates they only care if the number seems valid. This is especially nice when
|
|
you are want to buy a program that they will let you download online.. all
|
|
you need is to run checksum <included in the package> to generate a few
|
|
credit card numbers and you have many free downloads to come.
|
|
|
|
_8.1_Custom Choices_
|
|
|
|
Now when prodigy makes something they consider to be especially good
|
|
they want to charge you extra for it. So they call it a custom choice.. or
|
|
if you want it .. you got to pay extra. A few Custom Choice included ..
|
|
|
|
Rebel Space - A Game where you and other players go head to head in
|
|
Intergalatic combat while an old empire is falling and new
|
|
alliances are being made.. There BB the Stargate Cafe has
|
|
auto posting.. I can usually be found there.
|
|
|
|
The Prodigy Network Golf Tour - This allows you to play against other
|
|
Prodigy members in a gmae of golf. It is done offline and your
|
|
scores and courses are downloaded to you.
|
|
|
|
Baseball Manager - A Fantasy Baseball League where you play against other
|
|
Prodigy Members.
|
|
|
|
Fantasy Football League - Own and run your own NFL team. Compete against
|
|
other players.
|
|
|
|
These are the games.. there are also some other stock managers and the
|
|
like you can use.
|
|
|
|
_9.1_Your Mailbox_
|
|
|
|
Each account has it's own seperate mailbox. In this mailbox you can
|
|
recieve letters from other users and since Prodigy tries to 'keep the ut most
|
|
privacy of your mail.. you can usually trade information such as credit cards
|
|
and codes through that without worry. Mail boxes can also be used as UG's
|
|
which is where all your friends have acess and everyone can have a
|
|
discussion without having to worry about prodigy Censors. Oh.. UG stands
|
|
for Underground. Unfortanetly Prodigys account will only let one person use
|
|
them at a time.. So if you are using it and another person logs on.. you get
|
|
knocked off..
|
|
|
|
_10.1_Mail Manager .. your friend and mine
|
|
|
|
It took Prodigy awhile to make an offline mail manager and when they
|
|
did they made a nice one. With such features as a Internet mail, File
|
|
Transfers, US Mail, Sends Faxs and allows you to download your mail. And for
|
|
the low 'cost' of 4.95 charged to your account it can be YOURS! Mail
|
|
Manager will keep all your mail so that you never will lose any important
|
|
information sent to you.
|
|
|
|
_11.1_Your Internet Adress
|
|
|
|
Each account has its very own Internet Adress.. which is your account
|
|
name and .prodigy.com Like this: AAAA00A.Prodigy.Com. Unfortanetly Internet
|
|
mail can only be read offline. No direct Internet acess is being granted yet
|
|
but there are rumors that it is coming soon.
|
|
|
|
_12.1_Having fun with Prodigy
|
|
|
|
Here a few things you can do..
|
|
|
|
1) Once you make your account you can change your first name any time you
|
|
want.. such as Fuck You Smith.. or Mike Rotch etc.. etc..
|
|
|
|
2) Go to the TV BB.. there you will find the Save by the Bell fan club. Hours
|
|
of fun for the whole family.
|
|
|
|
3) Have fun with lonely little girls..
|
|
|
|
etc.. etc.. etc.. etc.. etc..
|
|
|
|
_13.1_Closing Notes_
|
|
|
|
Oh well.. that was it... just a short document about Prodigy. There is
|
|
more .. but that can be saved for another time. I hope what I have given
|
|
to you the reader was worth your reading time. I invite you and anyone else
|
|
to come onto Prodigy and help stop the Lamer envistation that seems to
|
|
plague Prodigy. So I look forward to a Prodigy in the future where some of
|
|
the elite community will come to speak freely and anonymously to the rest of
|
|
us and just have a decent time...
|
|
|
|
See ya there,
|
|
Dave S.O.B.
