Ok, as phreaking continues to become more of a hazard, safer ways of
|
|
obtaining free calls are highly sought after. A while back, a friend of
|
|
mine gave me a PBX, and it has lasted ever since. But the more I used it,
|
|
the more I wanted others, just in case the other went down. Therefore, I
|
|
created my own method for finding, hacking, and using various other PBX's
|
|
(Private Branch eXchanges).
|
|
|
|
A PBX quite simply, is a company owned service that allows employee's or
|
|
anyone with the correct code, to call Long Distance and speak with others
|
|
as far away as China. These PBX's generally do not contain anything like
|
|
ANI, or tracing methods, so they are more the likely safer then hacking
|
|
codes.
|
|
|
|
PBX's serve other purposes such as to allow intra-building paging and PA
|
|
system use. Finding the codes to access the PA system can be fun/useful
|
|
too. Some owner's pay a flat fee for the PBX because of the sheer number
|
|
of legitimate calls made on the services by employees. This is great for
|
|
the PBX hacker, because this means they are less likely to be caught or
|
|
have any
|
|
CLID or ANI services on the line.
|
|
|
|
Finding a PBX is not really all that hard. There are a few methods, and I
|
|
suppose you could completely automate it, but you'd need a program that
|
|
looks for the PBX tones, and I've never seen one before. Here's the
|
|
method I use. Go grab a Newsweek, Time, or some other popular periodical.
|
|
Flip through it, and make a list of the 800 numbers belonging to large
|
|
companies, such as banks, law firms, or hospitals. Don't put down the
|
|
ones that advertise being open 24 hours. You can also use the phone book
|
|
for this, and I also know that there is The 800 Phone Book, which is a
|
|
listing of the 800 numbers for companies, so if you feel like shelling
|
|
out a few bucks for it, that's approved. Now, once you have a list of the
|
|
numbers, wait until late in the evening, I do it around 11 pm, so that
|
|
even if the number is in California, they'll probably be closed, but the
|
|
later, the better.
|
|
|
|
Start at the top of the list, and dial. If you here a single tone, or an
|
|
oscilating combination of two tones, put a check next to the number on
|
|
your paper. Hang up. Repeat for the next number. If you get a recorded
|
|
message which sounds like a Voice Mail service, wait and see if it says
|
|
something like, "If you have a mailbox on this system, please press pound
|
|
(#)." Press # and check what that does, because some companies hide the
|
|
PBX behind a control command like that.
|
|
|
|
Now go back to the top of your list, and dial the first number with a
|
|
check next to it. When you hear the tone, pound out the *, #, and 9 keys.
|
|
If you suddenly get a dial tone, put a mark next to the number, and also
|
|
put the combination of what keys you pressed to get it. Do that for each
|
|
number on the list.
|
|
|
|
Ok, now go back to the first number where you got a dial tone. Dial it
|
|
again, and type in the sequence you used before. When you have a dial
|
|
tone, dial 1-800-692-6447 (1-800-my-ani-is. ANI is Automatic Number
|
|
Identification). You will hear a recording which says, "Your ANI is:
|
|
(XXX)XXX-XXXX. If it gives your home phone number, cross that PBX off
|
|
your list. But if it gives you a number other than your home number,
|
|
you're all set. Put that number in a new list, along with the digits you
|
|
used to get a dial tone.
|
|
|
|
If, at some point, a recording at the PBX number asks for a code, that
|
|
means that the program is protected with a code. We are currently in the
|
|
process of writing a program that will scan 800 numbers for PBX tones,
|
|
and will also crack the codes for you. Watch our file base for it, it
|
|
should be finished soon.
|
|
|
|
Here is a list of PBX's that I know work. The ones with nothing after
|
|
them are ones where you simply type * 9, # 9, or just plain 9 to get a
|
|
dial tone. Ones with a number of digits after them, thats the number of
|
|
digits in the code (code unknown). And the ones with a few numbers after
|
|
them, those are the access codes. I dialed all of them after 11 pm EST,
|
|
so they might give you an operator if you dial earlier than that. Enjoy!
