>>>>>>>>>>>> Introduction <<<<<<<<<<<<
|
|
This tutorial will be focusing on the 'phone side of
|
|
hacking. I will include numbers, passwords, and other bits
|
|
of interesting info that I have picked up during my career
|
|
as one of the >ELITE< hackers here in Australia. I will also
|
|
include information on the American 'Telenet' system, though
|
|
I regret I have no password (yet) for the Midas data-link
|
|
system. Well, now, onto the juicy stuff.. here goes..
|
|
>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dial Locks <<<<<<<<<<<<<
|
|
Have you ever been into an office, and found that some
|
|
barstard has put a dial lock so that the dial can't be
|
|
turned? Well, you can use that phone, it's just a bit harder
|
|
than normal. What you have to do, is pick up the phone, and
|
|
press the receiver button >RAPIDLY< the number of times
|
|
needed for that digit. For example, to dial 762-1582, you
|
|
would press the receiver button 7 times, pause, then 6
|
|
times, pause, then 2 times, etc. Make sure you do this
|
|
quickly and evenly. Practice on your own number, and you'll
|
|
get an engaged tone when you succeed. Good luck!

Have you ever wondered about those 11 numbers? Like 11612
|
|
for Bible Readings, etc. Ever noticed that those numbers are
|
|
not sequential? Ever wondered what lies in between? Well, I
|
|
wondered about that once too, so here is a list I have made
|
|
of all the 11 and 01 numbers.. Here goes..

>>>>>>>>>>> An explanation <<<<<<<<<<<
|
|
Now to explain some of my (cryptic?) notes. Any number
|
|
marked 'operator' answers with 'Telecom, what number are you
|
|
calling?'. If there are words in quotes, then that is what
|
|
she said instead. 'not connected' is the usual message, but
|
|
if it has a asterisk (*) after it, then it was a male voice
|
|
(they are normally female voices).
|
|
Now, onto some of the more exciting of these numbers. As you
|
|
can see, Telecom actually does not hide much, but some of
|
|
what is hidden is quite interesting. For example there is
|
|
0109 which gives a tone, then goes dead. When you tap the
|
|
receiver button, or dial a number, it repeats the tone. Very
|
|
weird indeed! Now, how about the five million 'Eyewitness
|
|
news poll' lines. I always thought they had only two or
|
|
three! But more interesting is the 'Green phone tone info'
|
|
number (11570). It goes though the different tones that a
|
|
'Green phone' (the type you put money into) makes.. very
|
|
interesting.. you could probably use this info to build a
|
|
'fuzz box'. (a box which simulates the dropping of a coin,
|
|
by sending the right frequency out a speaker, which is held
|
|
next to the mouthpiece of a 'Green phone'.. the exchange
|
|
thinks you are putting money in.. hehe!) There are a few
|
|
extra stock exchange numbers (11501, 11502 and 11616) but
|
|
they don't really excite me.
|
|
Now, for you astronomy fans, how about the 'Hailey's comet'
|
|
line on 11613. Gives scientific info, and other such stuff.
|
|
How come Telecom never told us about that one? eh?
|
|
>>>>>>>>>>>> #8 exchanges <<<<<<<<<<<<
|
|
Right, you may be asking, what about those numbers I marked
|
|
above with '<<<<< see below'? Well, if you dial those
|
|
numbers, all you get is nothing, but it is my belief that
|
|
they could (possibly) be loops! What I will have to do, is
|
|
get my friends each to dial one, then see if anybody
|
|
connects. If not, then these are just dud numbers.
|
|
Note that some of these numbers are for recorded messages
|
|
that are only activated during certain times..
|
|
Almost forgot two other things. The #8 numbers and the
|
|
ringback numbers. #8 is LOTS of fun. When you dial it up,
|
|
all you get a series of long beeps, but if you have a
|
|
multimeter, or (like I had) an auto-answer unit connected to
|
|
the line, you will notice that after each beep, the polarity
|
|
of the line changes over. Now, at Telecom, when the polarity
|
|
changes, you are charged for one metered call (ie: 16
|
|
cents). If you ring this number up, it costs you about $5 a
|
|
minute! hehe! One Telecom technician made the mistake of
|
|
leaving it on once, over lunch (he was testing somebodies
|
|
line) and this persons bill went up $300! hahaha! The
|
|
numbers listed as #8 are most likely these sort of numbers
|
|
(I didn't hang about long to find out), but I have two
|
|
numbers which are definate #8 numbers. They are:
|
|
8008 For Balwyn area
|
|
6308 Should work for all Melbourne
|
|
>>>>>>>>>> Ringback numbers <<<<<<<<<<
|
|
Right, then there are ringback numbers. These are numbers
|
|
which you dial, and then hang up, and they ring you back.
|
|
Most of the ringback numbers listed will not work. Some are
|
|
only for certain areas, others are not properly connected.
|
|
The numbers I have which do work, are:
|
|
8000 For Balwyn area
|
|
859899 For North Balwyn
|
|
199 For Doncaster/Templestowe area
|
|
2200 For ?? area
|
|
Note that 199 is the most common. If you live in an area
|
|
other than the above listed, then try that one, or 2200 (if
|
|
you are desperate.. don't know what areas for that one)
|
|
Another ringback number I have is a bit different. When it
|
|
rings you back, rather then getting "ring-ring, pause, ring-
|
|
ring", etc, it just keeps ringing "riiiiiiiinnnnnggg". It
|
|
never stops until you answer!! hehe!!
|
|
8007 For Balwyn area
|
|
Note that most ringback numbers give a low purring type
|
|
noise when you dial them, wait a second or two, then hang
|
|
up. When you answer the phone (after it rings) you get a
|
|
tone until you hang up. On 8007, however, after dialling
|
|
there is nothing, and when you answer the phone (after it
|
|
rings) there is also nothing.
|
|
>>>>>>>>> Charge call meters <<<<<<<<<
|
|
Charge call meters are used to detect whether or not you are
|
|
being charged for a call. Ever been told about a number by a
|
|
friend, 'Oh yes, it's free, call it up all the time..' and
|
|
never known whether it WAS free or not? Well, construct your
|
|
own 'Charge call meter' and find out..
|
|
**NOTE** In the Box Hill area, where the new touch-tone
|
|
lines have been installed, some other method is used to
|
|
detect whether a call has been charged for or not, but this
|
|
should work in most areas anyway.
|
|
All you need is an old meter of some kind (doesn't really
|
|
matter where from) and you connect one wire from each
|
|
terminal of the meter to each of the two phone line wires.
|
|
If you connect it up, and the meter moves up full, then you
|
|
have the polarity wrong, switch the wires around and try
|
|
again.. If the phone does not work correctly with the meter
|
|
connected, then you have a meter which has too much drain on
|
|
the lines, try again with another meter.
|
|
When you have it all going, then dial away. When the meter
|
|
hits the right hand side of the dial, then you have been
|
|
charged. To test it out, dial 6308 and watch the meter. It
|
|
should look like a windshield wiper. **WARNING** Don't do
|
|
this for too long! It is expensive! (about $5 per minute!)
|
