THE MYC GUIDE TO TRASHING FAX MACHINES
|
|
|
|
Well, here it is: "The MYC Guide to Trashing Fax Machines" Ok, now
|
|
wait. This isn't the same old g-file about trashing fax machines we've all
|
|
seen. Although this includes topics discussed in many of those g-files,
|
|
this is the ULTIMATE guide. Every possible devious technique I can think
|
|
of, and its successful application, will be covered in this file.
|
|
Now, lets create some technoanarchy!
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. PHiNDiNG A PHAX MACHiNE
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Ok, you can get fax numbers from a variety of sources, but probably the
|
|
most common are scans and asking. If you do any scanning, you've probably
|
|
come across a fax machine. It sounds like a 300 baud modem underwater.
|
|
You can use this fax machine but, there are two downsides to this: 1.
|
|
You don't get to laugh at the poor bastard because you don't know who
|
|
he is. 2. You might inadverently toast your friend or coworkers fax machine,
|
|
or worse, your bosses. The other way is asking. If some company has wronged
|
|
you, or whatever, you can just call 'em up and say, "Ummm I need to send you
|
|
a fax, what's your fax number?" Most of the time the secretary will give it to
|
|
you, but some of the time (especially those companies you or your phellow
|
|
phreakers have abused) will ask for your name or something. If they do,
|
|
play it cool. "What? My names Chester Karma. (hehe) I have to get your
|
|
boss this fax by 4:00 (or whatever) otherwise I could lose my job!" That
|
|
kinda line will almost guarantee you the fax number.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. GETTiNG AX-SESS
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Before you can trash the fax machine, you have to figure out what kind
|
|
of access you have, witch isn't too hard. There are only two kinds (it is
|
|
possible to have both)
|
|
|
|
1. On-Site Access
|
|
|
|
This means you have access to the physical fax machine itself. This is
|
|
probably the best, because you can: call ANI and get the faxes # (No
|
|
asking required), Foward all the calls into the fax machine to Flatline.
|
|
(when the faxes don't go thru they'll call the # voice, and when they
|
|
hear the carrier connect, they'll assume the fax machine is just out of
|
|
paper or somthing :), Or you can use a special attack form (see Section 3)
|
|
The immidate downside to this is if someone sees you (The last guy i saw
|
|
use it was that Karma guy.. Yeah, Chester Karma, didn't he get fired a
|
|
week ago? ...) If you have on-site access when you trash the fax, make
|
|
sure you are not seen, and that you wear gloves (fingerprints are WAY
|
|
uncool)
|
|
|
|
2. Remote Access (no, not the bbs software)
|
|
|
|
So you can't get into the company, maybe its because your doing it
|
|
anonymous, maybe they put a restraining order on you, whatever. You
|
|
can still totally destroy the fax machine. Phirst, you obviously must
|
|
have your victims fax number. (see above) Next, you must have a fax
|
|
machine or fax modem. Make double-damn sure you've changed the message
|
|
displayed by your fax machine (which usually includes your name and fax
|
|
#) otherwise, you may be getting a visit from your friendly neighborhood
|
|
police-person. Also don't forget to disable CiD when calling, as many
|
|
fax machines have it built-in now.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. TRASHiNG DA PHAX MACHiNE
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Ok, so now you've got access. I congratulate you if you've come this far,
|
|
you must be hell-bent on destruction, which is good. In this section I'll
|
|
talk about the many methods of fax trashing. Please note that many of them,
|
|
if carried out, will totally DESTROY the fax machine. Not only will this
|
|
cost the company big bucks to fix. It will cost them big bucks in lost
|
|
customers, sales, whatever, because thier fax machine is down. Please be
|
|
sure that you know what your doing when you do this, because if you get
|
|
in serious trouble, it will be your own fucking fault for not listening to
|
|
me. Ok, now that we've got that cleared up, there are two basic kinds of
|
|
fax destruction: The "Moebius Fax", and one I've entitled simply the
|
|
"IBM Fax"
|
|
|
|
The Moebius Fax
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
The Moebius fax is for people with remote access. If you have a regular
|
|
fax machine, set it up so that your banner reads something totally fake
|
|
and bogus (maybe the name and fax # of a rival company, etc.) Then get
|
|
5 sheets of black contruction paper from a) your kid. b) your school.
|
|
c) Your local print shop (or wherever you go to get paper)
|
|
Next, tape the paper together, overlapping, so that you have one long
|
|
chain of black paper. (the blacker the better, use the blackest side)
|
|
Ok now you're all set, put the phirst sheet in the paper feeder, and dial
|
|
the victims fax #. Allways block CiD (*67 for the ignorant) and if you've
|
|
abused this company before, you should probably route your call. (Operator
|
|
divert is probably sufficient) When it connects and starts to receive your
|
|
fax from hell, wait untill the phirst 2 sheets have gone through, then
|
|
tape the phirst sheet to the last sheet, thus creating an endless loop.
|
|
(and creating what mathematicians call a Moebius Band, from where I
|
|
derived the name. In case you're wondering, I didn't come up with this
|
|
idea, its pretty old. I did think of the name though)
|
|
|
|
There is only a few problems with this. It will only work on regualar, not
|
|
plain-paper fax machines. The reason being that all this black overloads
|
|
and wears out the thermal head on regular fax machines, thus rendering
|
|
them inoperatable. If the fax machine is plain-paper, then all you can
|
|
hope to do is make the machine run out of paper, ink, or both. Still
|
|
doing some damage, but it won't leave the impressive effect of the fax
|
|
machine smoking. The smell of this is horrible, and if your lucky, the
|
|
heat from the thermal head will melt the cheap plastic fax machine, or
|
|
blowup, sending sparks everywhere (or if your really lucky, both). Aside
|
|
from that, you should probably start sending your fax whenever the store
|
|
or office has been closed for a few hours (ie. around 9:00 pm) and stop
|
|
around 4:00 am (or whenever the machine shuts down). Texts I've read say
|
|
that a fax machine can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 4 hours to burn
|
|
out, but all the machines i've done went total meltdown in an hour or
|
|
less. One of the heads on one of the machines got so hot it burned
|
|
through the paper and started a small fire!
|
|
|
|
If you don't have a fax machine, but have a fax modem, you can do this
|
|
trick too. All you have to do is get an ANSI editor, like TheDraw, and
|
|
fill up a few pages with the black background fill color(After you've
|
|
filled the maximum page length with The Draw, you can use an editor to cut
|
|
and paste the file so it's larger. Now port that file over to your Fax
|
|
Modem OCR software and take a look at it. It should be one whole black
|
|
screen. Ok. Now follow the steps above, changing your banner, blocking
|
|
CiD, etc. Except set up a schedule to send the file over and over again.
|
|
(See your Fax Modem docs for info on this) This takes the place of the
|
|
endless moebius loop on regular fax machines.
|
|
|
|
The IBM Fax
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
This is for people who have On-Site access to their victims fax machine.
|
|
IBM has a 800 number that will fax you a 39 page document about thier
|
|
services. The number is 800-IBM-4FAX. Other companies have a service
|
|
similar to this, but i can't think of thier names/numbers offhand. If
|
|
you have such a number, post it on Flatline. Anyway, I think you can see
|
|
what's going to happen. But big deal. A 39 page fax isn't going to cause
|
|
major damage. No, your probably right, but what if you set up the fax
|
|
machine to make, oh I don't know, say a hundred calls to that number a
|
|
day, how long do you think the machine will last? Of course, if your
|
|
company has a plain-paper fax machine, all that will happen is that
|
|
they'll have a couple hundred pages on the floor of thier print room, and
|
|
a fax machine that needs ink. This, of course is a cost expense for the
|
|
company. This was implemented repeatedly on the hotel managers fax machine
|
|
at SummerCon '93.
|
|
|
|
4. iN ADDiTiON...
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
This is just a list of other things that i thought about doing to fax
|
|
machines that I really didn't have time to test out. Most of them are
|
|
just malicious things you can do for revenge, etc.
|
|
|
|
Send a fax with "Fuck You!" Written on it in big letters to a rival
|
|
company of your victims. Make sure you send it at least 30 times.
|
|
Also, don't forget to change your banner to your victims banner, so
|
|
it looks authentic.
|
|
|
|
Copy the VISA or AMEX logo onto a piece of paper, and then make up a
|
|
bullshit letter under it. "Dear Joe Shmoe, We suspect that your credit
|
|
card has been used illegally. To confirm this, we ask you to call our
|
|
voice mail system at: <enter your VMB # here> and leave us your card #,
|
|
expiration date, and your social security number for verification. We
|
|
will send you a fax after we have verified if your card has been stolen,
|
|
Thank you for your time, <Sign Fake Name>" Make sure to make it business
|
|
like so that they won't suspect a thing. Also, after you've got the
|
|
number, you should send a fax confirming thier credit card has not been
|
|
stolen. (not yet, at least hahaha)
|
|
|
|
If you've got a whole bunch of local fax numbers from scanning, prepare
|
|
a fake fax to send to them ALL. Recommended: A fax detailing the next
|
|
local KKK or Satanist meeting with the appropriate slogans. A very
|
|
authentic looking fax that details the exchange of something illegal,
|
|
a major drug sale, stolen property, cargo, etc. For this one you may
|
|
only want to send to one person because the police will catch on once
|
|
they get 20-30 calls about the same fax. A fax with one or two words
|
|
written in big letters. Try to avoid "Fuck You" or any other swear.
|
|
My favorite oneliners are things like "REPENT!" or "ADULTURER!" or
|
|
things like "I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE" or "BITCH, I'M GONNA KILL YOU"
|
|
or the ever popular "The KKK Controls you, Nigger" or something to that
|
|
effect. Trust me, these slogans scare people a lot more than "Fuck You"
|
|
Most people will call the police. The best was when I sent the local
|
|
Catholic Church faxes of pictures copied directly from the Necronominon,
|
|
along with slogan's like "Old God, New Devil" and the like.
|
|
|
|
Fax bomb threats to your local educational institution, along with local
|
|
businesses. Most of the time they will shut down any building that has
|
|
a bomb threat sent to it, resulting in a loss of business for the
|
|
victim. (and a free day off for the kiddies)
|
|
|
|
Fax threating letters to residental households. Ie messages like
|
|
"I know where you live" and "i'm coming to kill you" will scare the
|
|
shit out of most people (I know, I don't scare easy and I was scared
|
|
shitless when I got one of these calls) You could follow one of these
|
|
letters up with a moebius fax that said "DIE!" Over and over again.
|
|
|
|
If there is a serial killer roaming your city, fax your local paper
|
|
saying that you are the killer and leave riddles and threats and stuff.
|
|
(Look at the letters Jack The Ripper sent Scotland Yard if you need
|
|
inspiration) Be careful to only do this once. The paper will set up
|
|
a trap to catch you if you call again.
|
|

|
|
Well, there you go, the compleat guide to trashing fax machines. Now you
|
|
have something to do Friday night instead of beating off on a Conference.
|
|
This can be loads of fun, and if can even get you some cards if you find
|
|
someone guillible enough. But don't be an idiot. Take safty precautions.
|
|
This crime is way to stupid to be caught for. Oh yeah, don't get too
|
|
cocky and abuse the same company 30 times. Their more then likely to set
|
|
up a trap with the Telco if this happens too often.
|
|
|
|
Well, I hope my insight into the world of fax anarchy has made your day just
|
|
a little bit brighter. Maybe now you have somethingto live for. Nahhhh!
