This article will deal with Satellite hacking, CB info, and car phone systems.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Satellite Control
|
||
|
||
Companies try to build satellites to last for as long a time as possible.
|
||
Unfortunately, for the companies, things in space can happen unexpectantly and
|
||
suddently. Take that satellite released by the space shuttle. It's orbit
|
||
carried it way off the correct altitude. The company's only hope was to fire a
|
||
rocket on it in order to bring it to the correct place.
|
||
Now think...how does one on the ground fire a rocket in space? Radio!
|
||
Gee, if the company could change the orbit, maybe we can too. Sound
|
||
interesting?
|
||
Of course we were not the first to think of this. The satellite companies
|
||
have worried about this for a long time. There are stories about top secret
|
||
codes, frequencies, and protocols required to 'nudge' one of those babies.
|
||
The only problem is that-there is little information about this out there.
|
||
If you have any info, make a text file, and let others know of your knowledge.
|
||
But let me tell you all I know about a simple satellite whose telemetry is
|
||
known well.
|
||
OSCAR 6 was a satellite sent up in order to take in amateur signals
|
||
between 145.9 and 146.0 MHz, and re-transmit them between 29.45 and 29.55 MHz
|
||
using a transponder. Early in 1976, OSCAR 6 began to have battery problems.
|
||
The telemetry allowed the ground command stations to shut the satellite off at
|
||
regular intervals to prolong the useful life of the satellite.
|
||
Now we know the satellite sent out telemetry reports at a certain
|
||
frequency (OSCAR 7 was 29.502 and 145.972 MHz). And it sent them out in the
|
||
form of Morse code at about 20 wpm. Information rate of spin, power use, and
|
||
temperature were sent out at 20 wpm. This seems to suggest that the control
|
||
might have also used morse code. Strangely enough, there was never any
|
||
information in the American Radio Relay League magazine about just how they
|
||
control the OSCAR satellites. (Hams know what's safe and what's crazy also)
|
||
|
||
Suggestions: Don't overlook RTTY when trying to Satelhack (Satellite
|
||
hacking). Also, chances are the owners will figure out what you did, so
|
||
'downing', the ultimate for a satelhack, is pretty difficult.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Citizen's Band
|
||
|
||
CB is a very popular communications method. Again, you need a license
|
||
from the FCC to operate legally. But it's so hard to track down a CB signal
|
||
unless you have a massive amplifier or talk for hours straight, there is little
|
||
use in getting one.
|
||
Here is a list of channel frequencies:
|
||
|
||
Channel Frequency
|
||
(MHz)
|
||
1 26.965
|
||
2 26.975
|
||
3 26.985
|
||
4 27.005
|
||
5 27.015
|
||
6 27.025
|
||
7 27.035
|
||
8 27.055
|
||
9-emergency 27.065
|
||
10 27.075
|
||
11-contact channel 27.085
|
||
12 27.105
|
||
13 27.115
|
||
14 27.125
|
||
15 27.135
|
||
16 27.155
|
||
17 27.165
|
||
18 27.175
|
||
19-trucker's channel 27.185
|
||
20 27.205
|
||
21 27.215
|
||
22 27.225
|
||
22A (optional) 27.235
|
||
22B (optional) 27.245
|
||
23 27.255
|
||
(you can figure out the pattern from here to 40.)
|
||
|
||
|
||
A Cheap Ghost-Interferance
|
||
|
||
How can you start a real cheap ghost or interferance station? Well, the
|
||
Radio Shack wireless FM microphone (the clip on one) is pretty good for $19
|
||
(price may change). It's range is about 100 ft outside, and 40 ft inside.
|
||
However, in the instructions it shows how it can be made stronger, but this
|
||
would not be in compliance with the FCC (oh darn!), so it can transmit about 10
|
||
00 ft outside.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Mobile Phones
|
||
|
||
Radio phones have been around for a while. The first mobile telephone
|
||
call was made September 11, 1946 between a Houston Post and a St. Louis Globe
|
||
reporter. An old mobile phone service in New York city had 700 subscribers,
|
||
but could only handle 12 conversations at a time (because it had 12 channels).
|
||
There are some 160,000 mobile telephones nationwide.
|
||
The old service was doomed to fail. Each major city had one or two
|
||
powerful transmitters to communicate with all car phones in a 30- to 50-mile
|
||
radius. To make a call from a car, you must find a vacant channel, then call
|
||
the operator and supply the number you want to call. The operator dials the
|
||
number and connects you when the party answers. Only a few companies have dial
|
||
it yourself service. If someone wants to call you, they must first find the
|
||
mobile phone operator in your area. The operator finds a vacant channel and
|
||
transmits a series of tones that correspond to your phone and make it ring-sort
|
||
of as if it were a pager. Once you answer, the operator connects you and the
|
||
caller.
|
||
Clearly, the system was slow. Worse, it could only serve a few users at a
|
||
time. During rush hour, there was little hope of making a call. Few channels
|
||
could be added because of the dearth of frequencies for that kind of operation.
|
||
So now you can't get a mobile phone of this type unless someone else gives one
|
||
up.
|
||
Enter the cellular mobile radio. Instead of only 1 or 2 transmitters, an
|
||
area is divided up into many small sections, called 'cells'. Wach has it's own
|
||
low-powered transmitter just strong enough to serve it's cell. An average cell
|
||
covers from one to eight square miles and varies in shape from a circle to a
|
||
squashed football. Each cell touches another, some overlap slightly.
|
||
Adjacent cells use different channels-there are more than 600 in each city
|
||
to choose from-and a channel may be reused several times in the city if the
|
||
cells are located far enough apart. All of the cells' transmitters hook into
|
||
one network switching office, much like a central office handles calls form lan
|
||
d-based telephones.
|
||
Each transmitter constantly sends out a special signal, and as you drive
|
||
from cell to cell, your telephone automaticly tunes in the strongest cell. When
|
||
a call comes in for you, the network switching office uses the channel to send
|
||
a digital pulse signal that corresponds to your ten-digit phone number (NPA+7 d
|
||
igits).
|
||
When the phone hears it's number, it in effect says 'Here I am, in this
|
||
certain cell'. That information is sent back to the network switching office,
|
||
which scans vacant frequencies, and relays the information to your cell.
|
||
Finally, your unit tunes to that voice channel, and the cell site rings you,
|
||
and you talk.
|
||
It sounds complicated-and it is. But it works in seconds. And it can be
|
||
expanded. As more and more phones are added, cells can be split into smaller
|
||
cells with less power. Cellular radio allready exists in Japan, Denmark,
|
||
Norway, and Sweden. In Denmark, service began in 1981 and grew to 100,000
|
||
customers almost overnight. Within a few years all of Scandinavia will have
|
||
compatable cellular systems. Australia, Canada, and Mexico also plan systems.
|
||
Why has the U.S. lagged behind? Yep, it's our old freinds, the FCC. They
|
||
studied the system for 12 years before okaying the service in 1982. The U.S.
|
||
may be fullt celled by 1988. Now is the time to rent your backyard as a
|
||
cellular station!
|
||
The Bell companies will operate cellular service as the Cellular Service
|
||
Company. Others such as GTE and MCI plan similar service. Even the Washington
|
||
Post is trying to get into it. There are allready two systems, one in
|
||
Washington/Baltimore, and one in Chicago. Chicago users pay about $50 rent and
|
||
$25 monthly use fee for 120 minutes, and 25 cents/minute hereafter. Average
|
||
bills are $150/month.
|
||
The main unit mounts in the trunk, and just the handset sits up front. The
|
||
antennas are very small-about nine inches-and are hidden inside the car.
|
||
Now freaking old car phone systems shoudln't be that hard if you really
|
||
try. The following are the freq's to remember:
|
||
|
||
158.07-158.49 MHz (mobile)
|
||
152.81-153.03 MHz (base stations)
|
||
|
||
You CAN listen in on these freq's. What I'm not sure about is whether you can
|
||
place a call --I would think so. So Freq out!
|
||
|
||
COMMING SOON: Repair trucks, installers, and linesmen, Marine Radio, and
|
||
Airplane phones

What is phreaking? (Quick reminder for the new kids).
|
||
------------------
|
||
|
||
Preaking involves ripping off ma bell and other phone companies such as MCI
|
||
and GTE.this can be done in a variety of ways.phreaking is almost 100%
|
||
illegal,but has that ever stopped anybody?
|
||
|
||
How do you phreak?
|
||
------------------
|
||
|
||
There are 3 basic ways to phuck the phone companies:
|
||
|
||
1. Colored boxing.(blue,purple,etc.)
|
||
2. Using Sprint, Mci without paying.
|
||
3. "tricks of the trade"
|
||
|
||
Colored boxing
|
||
--------------
|
||
|
||
A pushbutton phone works by emmiting tones of different frequencies.by
|
||
changing the frequencies you can do some intresting stuff.phreaks have
|
||
realized this and have built devices called boxes.there are many types of
|
||
boxes here is a list of a few...
|
||
|
||
Types of boxes
|
||
-------------
|
||
|
||
Color function
|
||
----- --------
|
||
Blue - all calls for the price of local
|
||
|
||
Purple- all calls free!
|
||
|
||
Silver- free calls,etc.army uses them!
|
||
|
||
Red box - makes sound of coin dropped
|
||
|
||
Cheese box-makes calls untracable
|
||
|
||
|
||
What are boxes continued
|
||
------------------------
|
||
|
||
Most of the above boxes work by making differnt tones for each key. There are
|
||
plans for: blue, silver, green, brown boxes, you just have to look for them.
|
||
|
||
How do you phreak with sprint?
|
||
------------------------------
|
||
|
||
since the break up of AT&T cheaper phone companies such as:
|
||
|
||
ITT, MCI, GTE SPRINT, METROPHONE, WESTERN UNION.
|
||
|
||
and many more..
|
||
|
||
You can get programs that will call MCI, or whatever and try consecutive
|
||
numbers until it gets one.to fight against this the companys use 2 things...
|
||
|
||
1.they have dummy numbers that you think work but when you call using it
|
||
they trace you!
|
||
|
||
2.they change the numbers randomly every week or less,so you cant use
|
||
a number to long!
|
||
|
||
here are some access numbers you can try hacking...
|
||
|
||
access numbers
|
||
--------------
|
||
|
||
METROPHONE-(415) 579-6001
|
||
ITT-(415) 858-2750
|
||
MCI-(415) 495-2640
|
||
SPRINT-(415) 348-7700
