INTRODUCTION
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Welcome to the very first issue of ABUSE text magazine. Through the pages of
|
|
ABUSE we hope to keep you informed of any topics of interest connected with
|
|
hacking & phreaking in general.
|
|
|
|
We apologize for the lack of size of this issue, but this is only because
|
|
just 3 guys have worked on the magazine over a period of a few weeks. We are
|
|
hoping for a good response to our request for more contributors, both overseas
|
|
and in Australia. If you're interested in helping out in any way, either with a
|
|
permanent position on the team, the odd article, or just a one-off contribution,
|
|
please don't hesitate to contact either myself or Voltage.
|
|
|
|
Now sit back and relax, and enjoy the first issue of ABUSE. Later.

EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT TELECOM CONFERLINK
|
|
======================================================
|
|
|
|
WHAT IS TELECOM CONFERLINK?
|
|
|
|
Telecom Conferlink is the most flexible means of linking people located in
|
|
Australia and overseas for a meeting, by using the latest technology in
|
|
auto-teleconferencing. A conferlink meeting could include partcipants from
|
|
across the street or across the world.
|
|
|
|
This unique personalised service provides new features which benefit people
|
|
in all types of business.
|
|
|
|
|
|
HOW TELECOM CONFERLINK CAN HELP YOU.
|
|
|
|
These days no one can afford to make slow decisions. Time and money spent
|
|
travelling can bring business to a halt - with telecom conferlink you can be
|
|
connected almost immediately.
|
|
|
|
New technology now allows for any number of locations to be connected by
|
|
phone simultaneously. It also offers the convenience of meeting people involved
|
|
in the decision-making process without having to leave the office. As one
|
|
satisfied customer remarked recently, 'We completed a days work in 2 hours.'
|
|
|
|
Indeed, the cost savings alone in not having to gather people together in
|
|
one place are substantial as intersate and overseas travel add significantly to
|
|
the price of doing business.
|
|
|
|
The benefits to your organisation by using Telecom Conferlink however are
|
|
more than monetary because:
|
|
|
|
* Meetings become more effective, leading to a quicker exchange of information
|
|
and FASTER DECISION MAKING.
|
|
* Reduced travel time by key personnel means INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY.
|
|
* More EFFICIENT COMMUNICATION.
|
|
* More frequent and regular inter-site communication reduces the risk of
|
|
misunderstandings, increased co-operation and improves working
|
|
relationships.
|
|
* People can be brought together quickly and easily in situations that might
|
|
otherwise have been impractical.
|
|
* Appropriate people can attend for all or part of a meeting as required,
|
|
regardless of location.
|
|
* A competitive edge results from a well informed workforce who are
|
|
continually updated and/or retrained.
|
|
|
|
|
|

WHAT TELECOM CONFERLINK OFFERS YOU.
|
|
|
|
Telecom Conferlink offers you two ways to hold your meeting or conference.
|
|
These are known as 'Operator Controlled Meet Me.'
|
|
|
|
* OPERATOR DIAL OUT:
|
|
|
|
This is where the convener provides the operator with the telephone numbers
|
|
to be connected. The operator then calls each participant and connects them to
|
|
the conference.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* OPERATOR CONTROLLED 'MEET ME':
|
|
|
|
In this instance participants are provided with a telephone number to ring
|
|
at the appointed time. When the operator answers, the person is connected to
|
|
their conference. This method is ideal for callers wanting to pay their own
|
|
cost.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, the convener can accept the cost by having the participants
|
|
ring in on a special 008 number which is available from a Telecom Conferlink
|
|
operator.
|
|
|
|
In addition to the conferencing mode, Telecom Conferlink also has many new
|
|
features, including:
|
|
|
|
* MUSIC ON HOLD:
|
|
|
|
All participants will be able to listen to music whilst waiting for the
|
|
conference to begin.
|
|
|
|
* SUB-CONFERENCES:
|
|
|
|
Small groups can exit the main conference, talk privately and then rejoin
|
|
the main conference. Ten separate conferences can be conducted simultaneously.
|
|
|
|
* RECORDING THE MEETING:
|
|
|
|
If you wish, the whole conference can be recorded on tape allowing you to
|
|
provide a transcript or minutes of your meeting.
|
|
|
|
* LOCKED CONFERENCE:
|
|
|
|
You can secure your conference from anyone else entering by pressing the '*'
|
|
key on your tone phone.
|
|
|
|
* OPERATOR RECALL:
|
|
|
|
Participants can recall the operator (Press the 0 key on tone phone) who can
|
|
then add extra people to the conference.
|
|
|
|
* LISTEN ONLY:
|
|
|
|
One or more participants can be connected to listen only mode so they can
|
|
hear but not speak. If requested the operator can change the connection to
|
|
include speech.
|
|
|
|
|
|
HOW TO USE TELECOM CONFERLINK.
|
|
|
|
To use Telecom Conferlink all you do is simply phone the Conferlink operator
|
|
on 008 011 441 (Free Call) and give the names, telephone numbers, and date and
|
|
time of your meeting. If required the operator will also notify the people
|
|
involved prior to the meeting. Conference calls can be arranged almost
|
|
immediately depending on the number involved.
|
|
|
|
To get the best out of your meeting, however, the following should be used
|
|
as a checklist:
|
|
|
|
* BEFORE THE MEETING:
|
|
|
|
* Notify the participants of the time and date.
|
|
* Prepare a detailed agenda.
|
|
* Make sure that everyone who needs to be involved is available, a variety of
|
|
speakers makes for a more interesting meeting.
|
|
* Set a time limit of no more then 25 minutes per speaker.
|
|
* Plan to send effective visuals or handouts to each participant prior to the
|
|
meeting.
|
|
* Send each participant instructions for connecting to the conference (either
|
|
having the operator call them at the appropriate time or having them call a
|
|
given number).
|
|
* Confirm all your arrangements with your Conferlink Operator.
|
|
|
|
* DURING THE MEETING:
|
|
|
|
* Start on time.
|
|
* Conduct a roll call (your Conferlink Operator will do this if required),
|
|
make introductions.
|
|
* Begin with an agenda review and outline the objectives of the meeting to get
|
|
off to a good start.
|
|
* Stick to your agenda.
|
|
* Ask participants to identify themselves when they speak.
|
|
* Assign follow-up on action items as they occur.
|
|
* Plan and schedule your next meeting.
|
|
* Summarise and adjourn meeting.
|
|
|

TELECOM CONFERLINK IN ACTION.
|
|
|
|
Peter Eeles, a communications consultant with the AMP Society, has this to
|
|
say about Telecom Conferlink:
|
|
|
|
'We find Conferlink conferences a great way of having regular management
|
|
meetings because they are also so easy to organise.
|
|
|
|
We also use Conferlink to help us with our product launches and for
|
|
training.
|
|
|
|
On average we have one or two conferences a week lasting about an hour to an
|
|
hour and a half - and we can sure cover a lot of ground!
|
|
|
|
For an organisation as large and geographically diverse as the AMP,
|
|
Conferlink is a much better and faster way of exchanging information quickly and
|
|
efficiently.
|
|
|
|
Conferlink has certainly increased our productivity'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Telecom Conferlink is used by the Queensland Branch of the Australian
|
|
Physiotherapy Association with great success. Here's what their Officer, Edith
|
|
McPhee, has to say about Telecom Conferlink:
|
|
|
|
'We use Conferlink primarily for education purposes because it's a great way
|
|
of reaching our widespread membership and keeping them up to date on new
|
|
methods. I find its best to send written documentation prior to the meeting so
|
|
that when the meeting starts we're ready to answer questions and get down to
|
|
specifics.
|
|
|
|
Our next conference will involve 100 people in 15 locations and it will be
|
|
the biggest one we have had to date. We started with smaller meetings but found
|
|
them so easy to organise we're having larger meetings now - with the same good
|
|
results..'.
|

|
|
VOLTAGE: At this present time there is no computerised system available,
|
|
it's all operator assisted calls. The number to dial again is 008 011 441. Sorry
|
|
to the guys who don't live in Australia as there is no direct number to dial the
|
|
operator on, but as soon as I find one I will let you know...
|
|
|
|
ACID: I think in a few years CONFERLINK will be rockin' just like ALLIANCE
|
|
is in the USA, but not until it's all automated..

What to do:
|
|
|
|
Hack a Telecom VMB (See one of our previous text files on how to hack them.)
|
|
|
|
Record a mailing list in an area and send this message (in an official voice):
|
|
|
|
Hello, this is a Telecom Australia message to notify you that as of Tomorrow
|
|
morning your phone will be disconnected because of an outstanding amount of
|
|
$18.30. If you wish to prevent this from occuring please pay your outstanding
|
|
amount as soon as possible by going to your local Telecom office tomorrow at
|
|
9.00am or preferably, pay by phone by leaving your name, credit card number and
|
|
expiry date after the tone. Failure to take one of these options will lead to
|
|
disconnection and a substantial bond may be required for reconnection. Thankyou.
|
|
|

|
|
Or use this one (I haven't used it yet...):
|
|

|
|
difficulties with a number of our clients we now require payment of a $30.00

|
|
Or if things start getting desperate, record a mailing list in an 'upper' class
|
|
and send this message:
|
|
|
|
Hello, this is a Telecom Australia message notifying you that, <unfortunately>,
|
|
due to a computer breakdown your last payment made by credit card was not
|
|
processed. Therefore to prevent disconnection of your phone line please state

|
|
MessageBank Messaging (Level-2):
|
|
|
|
MessageBank Messaging has all the facilities of MessageBank Answering plus
|
|
the ability to forward messages. Once a message has been left, MessageBank can
|
|
alert the user via a pager, or send the message to another person (including
|
|
non-users of the system).
|
|
|
|
The user has the option of forwarding ALL messages that are received, only
|
|
URGENT messages, or no forwarding whatsoever. When forwarding on a normal call
|
|
(all calls), MessageBank will call three times or until the message is retrieved
|
|
by the user. On urgent calls, MessageBank will outcall five times or until the
|
|
message is retrieved. Notifcation is usually to a pager, but can also be to a
|
|
telephone number.
|
|
|
|
MessageBank Messaging will also send messages to other MessageBank users and
|
|
non-subscribers. These messages can be recorded and edited by the user, so that
|
|
the message contains exactly what the user wants to say. The message can then be
|
|
sent straight away, or can be delivered at a future time and date, depending on
|
|
the time that is most suitable for both parties. MessageBank will even send
|
|
messages to the user thus being used as an electronic diary.
|
|
|
|
Once the user reviews his/her messages, he/she can then reply to that
|
|
message, delete, keep, edit or transfer it to another person.
|
|
|
|
Another facility that MessageBank Messaging provides is a list facility.
|
|
This is useful when contacting the same group of people with the same message
|
|
often. For example, a sales manager may place all his/her sales reps on a group
|
|
list. When the manager wants to contact the reps, say to notify them of a sales
|
|
meeting, or change in price, or even a special deal that is starting, all that
|
|
the manager needs to do is to make one call and leave one message, which will
|
|
then be delivered to every person on the list. By far the easiest way to contact

MessageBank Executive (Level-3):
|
|
|
|
MessageBank Executive is currently available only in Canberra and Sydney,
|
|
with Brisbane and Melbourne due later this year. This level will incorporate a
|
|
facility, enabling the user to send and receive messages via his/her
|
|
MessageBank.
|
|
|
|
The user will have a second number, a fax identification number, which gives
|
|
the same answer signal as a normal fax machine. The fact that it is a voice
|
|
messaging service answering will not be visible to the fax sender. The fax is
|
|
then automatically transferred into the voice mail box, where it can be
|
|
downloaded at the users most convenient time and place. The user, although
|
|
having two numbers, (one fax, one voice) he/she will only ever need to access
|
|
one - the voice mail box.
|
|
|
|
This is a great feature for confidential faxes, or for the person on the
|
|
move. Group faxing will also be possible using the same method as group list.
|
|
|
|
Telecom MessageBank is the only Beurea voice mail system in Australia that
|
|
can provide an executive service such as a fax voice messaging.
|
|
|
|
|
|

FUN WITH VOICE MAIL BY VOLTAGE
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
After hacking all these voice mail boxes, we thought there could be
|
|
something else we could use them for, instead of just leaving messages to other
|
|
people. So we looked around and found a nice little option called send to a
|
|
phone number. What we want to concentrate on here is sending messages to
|
|
people's phone numbers. The system that I'm going to talk about is MESSAGEBANK,
|
|
I know there are a heap of different systems that can do this as well but we are
|
|
just going to stick to a basic system. But before I go on, this is not a text
|
|
file on how to use the send command but to tell you how you can have fun with
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
Ok let's take it from the start, you first have to find a voice mail for
|
|
yourself [Hey! You could buy one off us!]. Once you have your voice mail box,
|
|
you have 2 choices on how you want to send a messgae to a phone number.
|
|
|
|
1. Is sending to a number,
|
|
or 2. Send to a heap of numbers at once.
|
|
|
|
Well I recommend send to a heap of numbers. To send a heap of numbers you
|
|
have to create a group list, which is done by doing 3 + 3 + 2 from the main
|
|
menu. A group list can contain up to 20 phone numbers, and you can have 20
|
|
different group lists.
|
|
|
|
After following instructions on the system on how to add a phone number in
|
|
go back to the main menu and press 2 to send a message to a phone number. It
|
|
will then ask you for a mail box or telephone number to send the message to. Ok
|
|
just presume that your group list is list 1. So what you do now is enter 1 when
|
|
you hear the above prompt then press *. It will then say something like 'group
|
|
list one... after the tone please record your message then press *'. After
|
|
recording your message you now have to choose how you want to send your message,
|
|
we recommend that you send reply requested. To do this you press 3 + 2 + 2. This
|
|
will mark the message as reply requested, then all you do now is press 3 to send
|
|
the message.. There is also a few more options there like send at a future date,
|
|
send at a certain time etc.
|
|
|
|
Now you basically understand how to send messages out, it's time to have
|
|
some fun with it. Let your imagination go wild, you can come up with a lot of
|
|
good shit. Here are some examples of stuff what you can do:
|
|
|
|
|
|
This one is just used to find out information on people:
|
|
|
|
'Hello this is Mike Thomas from Australian Telecom, we are currently doing a
|
|
survey on our equipment and our services. That's why we are going through
|
|
Telecom Messaging to reach a lot more callers at 1 time.
|
|
|
|
The 1st Question is: Do you own a Telecom Telecard, If so how often do you use
|
|
it?
|
|
The 2nd Question is: What do you think of the service that we provide?
|
|
The 3rd Question is: If you could change anything about our service what would
|
|
that be and why?
|
|
|
|
Thank you for taking your time to answer these questions. All we need from
|
|
you now is your name and telephone number to go in the draw for the Telecom
|
|
sweepstakes of $10000 dollars for answering the questions. And remember to leave
|
|
your answers and name after the tone. BYE'.
|
|
|
|
The above is good for finding out information people eg. like I said do you
|
|
own a Telecom telecard. IF they say yes you could ring back and hack all their
|
|
shit from them.. The above was set out for Australians only but you can change
|
|
things around to suit such things as AT&T, MCI, Sprint Etc..
|
|
|
|
|
|
Do the following for a laugh:
|
|
|
|
SAY:
|
|
|
|
'CONGRATULATIONS! Thanks to Holden General Motors And Telecom Australia you
|
|
have just won a Holden Executive valued at 22 thousand dollars. The reason for
|
|
you winning this fabulous car is that Telecom Australia put together a random
|
|
dial program to promote the new Holden Executive 1993 model, and your phone
|
|
number was the one phoned up! All we need from you is your name, telephone
|
|
number and address to contact you as soon as possible. Oh and one last thing
|
|
could you tell us in 25 words or less why you like Holden motor cars. And
|
|
remember to speak after the tone..'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The above is a good thing for a laugh as they get all excited, and the funny
|
|
thing about it is when they have to say 25 words or less on what they think of
|
|
Holden cars.. Overseas people change it to what ever you want, this is just a
|
|
basic outline of what to say.. We did it to this person once and when he had to
|
|
talk about Holden in 25 words or less he went on for about 2 minutes. So we rang
|
|
this guy back by voice this time and said I'm sorry to say this but you didn't
|
|
win the car as you went over 25 words. Listen to the shit that comes out from
|
|
them. Hehe cool stuff. Later..

'SEE-FIRST CALL PLAN' - The Daily Telegraph Mirror, Dec. 30, 1992.
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
A system where the caller's number flashes up on the receiver's telephone
|
|
while it is ringing will be tested next year.
|
|
|
|
This lets the person being called see who is calling before answering.
|
|
|
|
After the test by Telecom, the tele-communications watchdog Austel will
|
|
decide if the service should stay.
|
|
|
|
But telephone companies will have to satisfy fears of invasion of privacy
|
|
before a final go-ahead.

'SYSTEM TO CUT PHONE COSTS' - The Daily Telegraph Mirror, Dec. 29, 1992.
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
A local company has come up with a computer program it says will help any
|
|
business cut down its telephone bill. The product is Calldata, developed and
|
|
marketed by CSM International of St. Leonards [Sydney]. CSM managing director
|
|
Malcolm Monk claims Calldata will be of benefit to any business with a monthly
|
|
telephone bill of more than $1000.
|
|
|
|
Linked to the company telephone system, Calldata runs in the background mode
|
|
on a non-dedicated IBM compatible personal computer, allowing the user to carry
|
|
on without interruption.
|
|
|
|
Mr Monk says that about 2500 businesses have bought the software. They range
|
|
from the Boral group, Comalco and Radio Rentals to the NSW Attorney General's
|
|
Department, the Sydney Opera House and various Rugby League clubs, including the
|
|
Brisbane Broncos and St. George.
|
|
|
|
'As a management tool Calldata skins the fat from the telephone system,' Mr
|
|
Monk said.
|
|
|
|
'It analyses where costs are going and how.'
|
|
|
|
One month after installation the data can be collated, transferred to
|
|
diskette and returned to CSM, which will provide a free management report with
|
|
suggested cost-saving measures.
|
|
|
|
'Just by analysing inward and outward call traffic and identifying greater
|
|
efficiencies, telephone costs can be cut by 10 per cent,' Mr Monk said.
|
|
|
|
It can also make comparisons of Telecom, Optus and AAP, identifying the most
|
|
cost-efficient network to suit individual company needs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Calldata software sells from $995 upward, depending on how it is used and
|
|
the size of the business.
|
|
|
|
NB: All prices are in Australian dollars.

'OBSCENE PHONE CALL OUTBREAK' - The Daily Telegraph Mirror, Dec. 22, 1992.
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
TELECOM is investigating a series of obscene telephone calls in Sydney's
|
|
west made by a woman identifying herself as a Telecom official.
|
|
|
|
At least a dozen complaints were lodged yesterday over the hoaxes and many
|
|
more calls are believed to have gone unreported.
|
|
|
|
All complaints came from people living in, or near, Mt Druitt.
|
|
|
|
In each case, the victim answered their phone to a recorded message on which
|
|
a woman claiming to be from Telecom said she had a Christmas message for them.
|
|
|
|
She asked them to wait for a beep at which point the voice of a man shouting
|
|
obscenities cut in.
|
|
|
|
The woman's voice then came back on the recording, asking the victim to wait
|
|
for another beep after which they could leave a message telling Telecom what
|
|
they thought of their Christmas 'present'. [JA: hahahaha!]
|
|
|
|
Wendy Betts, from Mt Druitt, had just gone to bed at 11.30pm on Sunday when
|
|
she received one of the abusive calls.
|
|
|
|
'The woman sounded very official - well spoken and intelligent and quite
|
|
elderly - so at first I thought the call was fair dinkum,' she said.
|
|
|
|
'Then the bloke got on and started screaming abuse at me, and all the time
|
|
he would stop to say "hello, are you listening?".'
|
|
|
|
A Telecom spokesperson said the matter was being lookind into by the
|
|
company's investigative branch, Protective Services.
|
|
|
|
She said making obscene telephone calls was a criminal offence and that the
|
|
perpetrators faced up to 12 months jail or a $6000 fine if caught.
|
|
|
|
However she said it was very difficult to trace offensive phone calls when
|
|
they were made randomly as they appeared to have been in this case.

'TELECOM WARNS OF CALL CON' - The Daily Telegraph Mirror, Dec. 23, 1992.
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
SYDNEY phone subscribers are being asked to provide confidential personal
|
|
details about themselves and their credit cards in an elaborate telephone con
|
|
discovered by Telecom.
|
|
|
|
In warning about the con, Telecom investigators yesterday urged anyone who
|
|
may have fallen for it to contact his or her bank.
|
|
|
|
Telecom spokesperson Margaret Finch said the con is believed to have been
|
|
operating in Sydney for only a couple of days, but so far no-one appears to have
|
|
fallen for it.
|
|
|
|
'We have received complaints from 15 people; there could well be more,' Ms
|
|
Finch said.
|
|
|
|
The con involves a woman's voice in a recorded message played down a
|
|
victim's telephone line in late night calls, she said.
|
|
|
|
Victims appeared to be selected at random.
|
|
|
|
The caller tells the victim that due to a computer malfunction their
|
|
previous Telecom repayment was not recorded.
|
|
|
|
'They are asked to give details about themselves and their credit cards and
|
|
the previous bill paid to Telecom,' she said.
|
|
|
|
Telecom is also investigating a series of obscene telephone calls in
|
|
Sydney's west made by a woman idetifying herself as a Telecom official.
|
|
|
|
But it is not known if it is linked to the con.
