OK, here are a few tricks you can do via telecommunications channels.....
|
|
|
|
- Did you know that some BBS programs crash when the number of users gets
|
|
too large? I wrote a program called "Byter Writer", named for Jas0n
|
|
"c0ckbyter" Anders0n, which gives your favorite sysop all the users he
|
|
could want and then some.....It spent all night logging onto Byter's Board
|
|
logging on plebian users...

You get the idea.
|
|
|
|
- Here's a quick way to take a pay phone off line: (Thanx to TT for this one)
|
|
Just go up to a fortress, dial 0, and yell "Hey Wench, You Suck, I Rule".
|
|
The operator will disconnect the phone from service, and these have been
|
|
known to stay out of service for hours this way (until the op that
|
|
disconnected it ends her shift...)
|
|
|
|
Ah, the joys of auto-dialing Jas0n Anders0n's voice line. Before I put
|
|
up a BBS, and before Byter Writer was written, I used to sick non-carrier
|
|
detecting auto-dialers on him. (jas0n was an asshole, he deserved
|
|
everything he got and more) One day, though, I heard a recording
|
|
emanate from my Hayes: "The number you have reached is not in service". He
|
|
had changed the number! Well, most vengeful types would say "SHIT! I'M
|
|
SCREWED!" but not me. We simply went over to Byter's house at 4 AM one day
|
|
with a Bud Box. After making free calls at Byter's expense for awhile
|
|
(we also did a lot of Blue Boxing, just to make sure he got a visit from Bell,
|
|
thay are about his only friends now that they make a killing changing his
|
|
number all the time), we did a ANI (it's 211 around these parts) and
|
|
within 6 hours everyone had the new number. We haven't been back to his
|
|
place lately but it is rumored that he has Krazy-Glued his grey Terminal box
|
|
shut. *SIGH* guess I will have to go over there with some KRAZY GLUE
|
|
SOLVENT (remember you are reading a file by KING Krazy Glue) and open that
|
|
sucker up again. Maybe install a nice scarlet box and re-glue it.
|
|
|
|
Some auto-dialing tips (while we're still on the topic).
|
|
- Overnight, it's best to have the dialer go only once an hour or so.
|
|
This is because, no matter how often your dialer dials, the victim will
|
|
only let it ring his phone 3 or 4 times before he wises up and takes
|
|
the phone off the hook. If you let it run 10 times a minute, the victim
|
|
will leave the phone off the hook all night, and get a good night's sleep,
|
|
and that won't do, will it? You let the dialer run every hour on the hour
|
|
and you will completely ruin the victim's sleep, for he will be up
|
|
every hour all night answering the phone.
|
|
- Conversely, when auto-dialing a business during the day, have your
|
|
dialer run as fast as it can. In fact, since there are usually two
|
|
lines in a business fone, have two dialers running (get a friend to
|
|
help). A business can't just leave the phone off the hook and if both
|
|
lines are tied up by your dialers, they can't call the phone company
|
|
to complain either. This worked rather successfully when I had just
|
|
quit a local Bingo place. I set my dialer to wait a while before dialing
|
|
so that it wouldn't start until I got there. I wanted to see the look on
|
|
everyone's faces, plus I could not be blamed because I was right there
|
|
and obviously not at a phone... Anyways, almost the second I walked
|
|
in the door of the Bingo Place to pick up my pay check, the fortress
|
|
fone on the wall started ringing. It rang 3 times, and stopped.
|
|
Then the business phone rang. It was answered by an employee who got
|
|
silence (the modem was in originate mode so it sent no carrier). CLICK,
|
|
and the payphone went again. Then the business phone. This was all
|
|
very noisy and pissed a lot of people off because they couldn't hear the
|
|
Bingo Caller over the phones ringing. On my way home, passersby couldn't
|
|
understand why this crazy guy with a paycheck in his hand who just came
|
|
out of the Bingo Place was laughing so hard.....
|
|
|
|
- If you have a CAT or other modem that supports digitized speech, have your
|
|
dialer utter a few words every time it dials.....
|
|
phone: DRRRRRRRRNG!
|
|
Jas0n: "Hello"
|
|
modem: "Jas0n is a Space Fagg0t!!!"
|
|
Jas0n: CLUNK!!!!!! (he fainted, this is the 27th time today this has
|
|
happened...)
|
|
|
|
What else is fun? Ah yes, everywhere you go you see rodents bitching that
|
|
their Call Alert fucks up their data calls. And it does, and unless you
|
|
have selective call alert, you can't do much about it.
|
|
Wouldn't it be REALLY r0dently if a BBS line had Call Alert? Every time it
|
|
was busy and someone else called in, "poof" BOTH callers get fried.
|
|
So, call up your local CO's business office and order Call Alert for your
|
|
favorite sysop today!
|
|
|
|
Here is a way to defeat callback security found on some BBS systems and
|
|
other online systems:
|
|
When you call a number, you remain connected to them until YOU hang up,
|
|
not them. So, when you call a BBS with callback security, you just stay on
|
|
the line after it tells you to hang up. The BBS's modem will hang up, and
|
|
then pick up again, and you will hear it touch-tone the number of the person
|
|
whose account you are trying to get into. The BBS will then offer you its
|
|
carrier......and you're in!

PROPOSAL: THE FISH BOX
|
|
|
|
(I will be building one of these in early 1988, it has not been tried yet to
|
|
my knowledge).
|
|
|
|
A while ago some friends and I were talking about gaining Calling card
|
|
codes by eavesdropping at payphones and listen to the codes that the saps
|
|
verbally told the operators. Well, we came across a problem. Now that you
|
|
can directly dial a calling card call without going through the operator,
|
|
it is rare that someone will still use a calling card verbally these days,
|
|
and so standing around eavesdropping didn't sound very productive anymore.
|
|
Well, at the time some of us were playing with bugs and wiretaps, and the
|
|
thought came to me: What if I were to install a bug in a fortress? I could
|
|
tape record everything said on the line plus I would have every touch tone
|
|
dialed! This sounded fine until I got to the touch tones. I for one am tone
|
|
deaf; I couldn't tell what tone was what number if I tried. So, why not
|
|
run the tones through a DTMF receiver? Sure, then every single digit dialed
|
|
on the pay phone would just appear on my computer monitor...this would not
|
|
only include calling cards but also any extenders that anyone might
|
|
legitimately use, plus accounts to ADS systems. The potential to gain
|
|
phreak codes in this manner is enormous..
|
|
Anyways, now you can see why I call it the FISH box; you are essentially
|
|
fishing for codes and if you are persistent eventually someone will
|
|
bite.....
|
|
|
|
PROBLEMS:
|
|
- Getting the bug into the payphone can be a problem but we are working on
|
|
it...
|
|
- You still have to be relatively close to the fone in order to get good
|
|
reception of the bug. Don't sit around for hours, find a place to
|
|
stash your tape recoder and bug receiver where no one can find it
|
|
and come back for it later. If there are lockers nearby and they are not
|
|
made of metal they will do fine.
|
|
|
|
Anyways, I will be writing the official box plans next month. If anyone has
|
|
any luck with this project before then, let me know how you made out.
