I'm now on school holidays, with only about 5 weeks of school left 'till the end of my fucking high school career. This may be the last issue for a while, especially if we don't get some contributions from the readers. I know this publication is read by some people, and I'll be uploading it to the 'net soon as I get back to school (My net access is through my school) If you regularly read this, please contibute. I had a couple of submissions, but sorry SaNe, I already had that info and so did a lot of others. Mistix gave me something interesting, thats in the Aust phone system part... Hope you dudes n-joi this publication...Australia's own....B4 I forget I must mention something that totally pisses me off. The elitism of the Australian hacker scene. There are a fucking few of us around, and you'd think that the scene would welcome newcomers. NO!! You must find your own way around until you are considered EleEtE....What i'm on about is that I dialled a h/p BBS in Perth (No names hey JESTA!!!) and answered their fucking questionaire, getting most of them pretty fucking correct. I emailed the sysop, HEY JESTA!!, and instead of trying to bull shit my way on like a lame motherfucker I just gave him da facts. What do I get back. NO way d00d, you're not getting on this board. Well fuck you very much. Australia needs to nurture it's h/p scene, not kill it off with eleetism. Anyone with any h/p board nos. contact me. I'll try em all and see how eleete they are when I crash their puny systems.....Next time ravers... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Sektion [2]: Dynix Systems - By Sen Goku Dynix systems?? I hear you all say..What is a Dynix System??? Well, it sounds like some kind of Unix type system, but it's not. Have you ever been in a modernised public or school library, a music store or even a department store?? If you take a close look at the computing infra-structure you're bound to see a Dynix based system lying around, waiting to be used. These are the dinky little black and green or brown and gold terminals that sit on desks with only a monitor and keyboard present. At the back of the monitor is a cable, that links into a serial link to the main server. You'll probably recognise one, because when you log into one it welcomes you with a huge ascii screen saying, Welcome to the Dynix system, or some crap like that. These little babies can be useful, because if you can hack out a priveledged password and login, then you have full run of the main server, and remotely! Getting the password is relatively simple. Just ask your friendly staff member to logon because the computer isn't working. Their user ID is shown on screen, but of course the password is hidden, so watch the keys. These people type so slow, that it is easy to read the password. Before you get the staff member to logon, I suggest you play around a bit. The terminals I have hacked have all been relatively simple to use and get into, but once in, another password is needed to make changes. This can be a real bastard to get. To get this, I again suggest you watch the staff member when they use the terminal legitimately. To make a change to the system, they must enter a password. This password varies, but the one's I've come across were three letter combinations (KEY, PIK) and a five letter one what I have'nt been able to read yet. They are all relatively simple so the staff members can all make the changes. Only one password is needed to make the changes. It is standardised throughout the system. Ways in which you can get the staff memeber to enter the password to make changes vary. You can extend a book you have borrowed, say you have changed adress or any other thing like the such. Just watch the keyboard a couple times and get the password. This is all helpful for changing data on the system, but how do you get into the system i hear you all scream. This is the bit where you get the employee to log on for you. When the system is first powered up for the day, each terminal must be logged onto. Once a terminal is logged on, there is now way to relogon to get to another part of the system unless you reset the server. Hence, it is important to catch the machine at logon, first thing in the morning. When the system is first turned on for the day, a welcome to dynix screen is presented along with a prompt to logon. You will see Welcome to Dynix Systems Etc..Huge ascii drawing Logon: User ID: Password: The logon is what part of the system you want this terminal to be attached to. The valid ones that I have found have been CIRC, BASS and PUB. CIRC stands for circulation(God mode), BASS stands for BASS(Ticket ordering at a music shop, God mode) and PUB for public, where there is no rights to much. The user ID is an employee who uses the system. Normally this is a persons name such as KAREN or KSCHLEIN. The password is even simpler. Of all the IDs and passwords that I have discovered, about 70% of the passwords have been the employees telephone number. Lame... Once logged on into god mode and a valid user ID and password have been entered, a lot can be acheived. One way of spoofing the employee to logging onto a priveledged mode it to enter the logon yourself. Entering CIRC and then calling the employee over will get them typing their ID and password. Quite often they will recognise that they are in the wrong mode for a public terminal and look at you funny, but sometimes they just walk away and leave you to your fun. When in god mode, you have the rights to change anything. The problem that you need that damn password to change data. When you go to change data, you are prompted with a little message down the bottom of the screen. Enter Password: Now this is a real pain. I was using a system recently in god mode, and went to change some data (Erase overdue books) The problem was I didn't have the correct password to modify the stuff. This can be a real pain in the arse. I looked around everywhere, including near the server but couldn't find the password. One little thing kept me away from glory..Yeah, right.. Alright, what can you do with these systems??? In god mode you have the same rights as any employee who is doing their stuf legit. You can erase and add to data, buy yourself a concert ticket etc. You can have a lot of fun. Problem is, you can hardly ever get into the god mode. So we're with boring old Public mode. Fun can still be had with these... Here is a list of things to do whilst in public mode... Try pressing CNTRL and other keys...CNTRL D locks the terminal, CNTRL + gives you a calculator (I Think) Holding SHIFT and SETUP lets you modify the terminal. This is way cool. You can change the terminals language from English to German, Swedish, French etc. Try reading those menus in Italian!!!! Other things, such as key mappings can be modified. This is a very powerful part of the system for a public terminal. By going into the help sceens, pressing A to got additional help levels and C to change help levels, followed by the Password to change data, you can totally change the help screens. You can modify the headers, change the text etc. The same works for the Bulletin Board part of the system. By pressing BB to got this and then A, folowed by C you can change the public bulletin. You can do a lot of modifying for a crappy little public terminal with no rights. There are others, but my memory is fading. Experiment is the name of the game Well, I hope you enjoyed my little rant on this system. Anyone with further info can contact me and swap ideas. I'd love to hear feedback on this topic...Later D00dz... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Section [3] - The Australian Telephone System - An ongoing saga for eleetness by Sen Goku Well, this issue I have very little to really say on the actual phone system itself. One thing I have to inform everyone about (Thanx Mistix) is that by dialling 1800 12 #### you can get connected to company computers. The #### are just any old four numbers. Try using a war dialler, I've got a couple if anyone needs them, just email me. I'm not sure what this is yet, but I suspect that we're either getting Telstra computers or this is some kind of network, similar to Tymnet (Maybe Auspac???). I've tried a few, and here's a couple that did something. 1800 12 1212 gave me some carrier, but it was garbled. I suspect this is a fax machine for some reason. 1800 12 0555 gave me a weird dial tone. It was really sped up. Weird... 1800 12 2222 gave me another psycho dial tone.... 1800 12 4444 gave me International Free Calling. NO!! Don't get too excited 'cause you need a password. Think it was 3 nos. long.. 1800 12 5555 gave me a really cool AT&T disconnect message. I suggest you try this out. Soon as I get a decent modem I'll scan this prefix properly. I'm doing it by hand at the moment and have found a lot of VMB Systems. I'm working on hacking some now so you can all call me and leave me a message for free.... To make this issue and part of this issue bigger, I've included a phile I've had lying around for a while. Sorry, but I don't remember who gave it to me, who wrote it etc. Enjoy anyhow... How To Rip Off Pay Phones ------------------------- Introduction. ------------- Phone ripping is a great way to earn money and it is very flexible you can choose your own hours, work part time, full time or casual. And it is one of the few thefts that you can actuly do in public and not have to worry about people looking or not.(coin ripping only!) So where did it originate? well i believe i was one of the first in Melbourne to think of such a great money making venture. But i latter discovered that americans had been doing this since the 60's. Vocabulary ---------- Motherload :- More than $25 from one phone. Motherloader :- A phone that always produces $25 plus. Slow Flow :- Placing too many tisues in a box can cause money to come out a little at a time. Jam or Jama :- When it is so full that money RAINS down causing the door to close and jam shut ! Slot Ripping ------------ In order to know how to rip you must first know the coin return and its hazards. Here is a basic diagram of a coin slot shown on a view of the right side of box. ____ _______ | \ / 5 | \ catch / 6 | \ \ coins / 3 \ \ here / 3 \ / 3 \ \_ 3 \ / \ 3 \ 3 \ 3 \ 3 \ 3 \ 3 3 |\ / | \ coin fall here / |__>_____________________/ Sorry about the basic drawing but i am sure you will get the idea. What You Need ------------- Now before going to a box lets get organised you will need the following:- 1 box of tisues 1 piece of THIN wire (1.5 mm thick or less) 30 one cent coins 1 tac (or nail) 10 bandades How Much Can be Made -------------------- Find all the telephone boxes you can walk to (ride, drive to etc) and make i mental list it takes 10 phone boxes emptied 5 times a week to earn aprox $300 a week (give or take a little depending on where you live. i used to do woek at hungy jacks in the city, and was earning about 185 bucks an week at jacks and about 500 bucks a week doing 8 boxes,4 times a week (so the money is good!) Doing The Job ------------- Aproch the box as if you are going to make a call. This is not just so you dont look suspicous but it is an idea to test the phone by making a free call to the operator (in most phones the money will come back out) thus you know the phone is working, to save you the trouble of PAPERING a phone that does not work. If the phone works yet does not exept money then you are in luck you have found a phone that can make up to $82 in one day (max holding!!!) this phone is named a SLOT MACHINE ! but be carefull because they can easily turn into a MOTHERLOAD JAMA. ok so if all is ok you can then start inserting tisues into the coin slot. Place a few at a time and then push them up the slot (BUT NOT TOO FAR!!) test that there are no leaks by inserting four one cent coins down the slot. This is also good cause you can see if anyone has taken money from your phone and reset the tisues your 4 cents will be missing. OK now is the really hard part. When you think it is just about time to collect your hard earned cash use a bandade or 2 and tape the tiny nail to your finger (This is helpful but if you have long fingers you can do it without) push you finger up the slot making sure it is against the left was if the coin slot (so you miss the small but sometimes NASTY little spike) Now scoop the paper down and there is your cash!!! Notes ----- Some phones use a door like this ============= so that fingers can not put pushed \ | up into the slot (thats where the \ | thin wire comes in) bend the wire \ | | and place the paper up with it and \== | remove it the same way. ---------- If you find a phone that is hard or imposable to do than just super glue the top so they have to use the phone that you HAVE papered! Never use telephone book paper! Well, I was doing this a couple of weeks ago, with some success. It takes a lot of practice and patience to get it to work properly. Whwn inserting the tissue paper, the door can get jammed semi-open. This is a giveaway. Fraud can net you a lot of money if done properly. I made about $50 in a week, problem was it was all in 20c coins etc. Real bitch.... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Section [4] - The criminal use of Fake ID - By Sen Goku Generic ID ---------- Fake ID, for the average teenager has become increasingly necessary as we continue to grow up. Now with forms of prohibition, such as needing to be 18 to buy cigarettes, alcohol and the such fake identification goes a long way to contributing to our early deaths. As a hacker/phreaker we all know the problems with certain police knowing our true identities, so fake ID again comes into play by allowing us a certain freedom to hide our true identities. The normal teenager usually can procure, or knows someone who can procure Fake Identification for themselves. The producing of fake id's can be a lucrative business, as I know. During the past year I have produced an estimated 30 fake ID's for friends, at a cost of $10 a pop. Now, with the initial starting up fee of my small enterprise being $20, I have made a reasonable profit. Anyone with some knowledge of computers can produce a Fake ID. The real success to creating a usable fake ID is not what the actual ID is (But that helps, read on), but how professional the finished product looks. To produce a fake ID, it is handy to procure an actual real ID from someone and examine it, photo-copy it etc. Take exact measurements of every part of the ID so that you can draw it on screen with a graphics proggy... Measure the ID and then draw it on screen, and save it. It is important to make the ID as reallistic as possible, using fonts and line thicknesses that match the real ID. When drawing the ID is is importanat to copy it exactly. This cannot be stressed enough. When I was producing mine, I even went to the detail of drawing a barcode by HAND! on paintbrush...When this was printed out (It ws the back of the ID) it really made the ID's look real.Once the ID is produced on screen, it is advisable to print them out... When printing the ID, you must ensure that it is properly done. None of this printing with a dot-matrix. Sorry dudes, but only use a laser of bubble jet. A handy tip here, when printing via paintbrush click on the button called "Use Printer Resolution". This will print the ID at the highest resolution capable via the printer. You may have to redraw the ID but the results obtained by doing this on a Laser or Bubble Jet are amazing. The ID when printed at this resolution looks totally perfect, none of that computer look about it. With the front and back of the ID printed at the best the printer can do, it is now up to adding the professional touches. A good fake ID will include a photo. Most places only accept photo ID's now, so a photo ID is the go. Go to a photography studio and get a set of passport photos. These are professional photo's for passports (Duh??). The only problem I have with them is that they are a fraction thick. To reduce this you can carefully splice the backing paper of the photo in half. Without damaging the photo ofcourse. To stick the ID together, you will need a glue that will not crease the actual ID by shrinking when it dries. I use a glue stick called UHU. It is an excellent choice for the fake ID manufacturer. It will stick the ID together, ready for laminating perfectly. It can also add the photo and other profesional touches with ease. The ID is nearly ready, but finishing touches need to be added. The real ID that you are copying will often have a sticker or similar on it for proof. This can be a real pain, but works. To fake the sticker, get a sheet of brightly coloured paper the same as the real sticker. Then print onto this the exact text of the sticker, and glue the fake sticker on. This part, when done properly really can bring an ID to life. No ID is complete without being laminated. This can be the worst part of the manufacturer and can bring many amatuers un-done. Goto a business supply shop and buy a box of laminate slips that are approx the size wanted. They can be expensive, eg $12 for 100. When the ID is fully assembled, slip it inside the laminate slip. To laminate the ID, you will need patience and maybe even assistance. Without access to a professional laminating machine, I had to improvise. By placing a pillow case over the laminate, placing it on an ironing board and ironing it on the hottest my iron would go, whilst keeping a lot of weight on it, I was able to melt the laminate on. Now, to make the laminate job better and not so shitty, after I had finished ironing I grabbed a rolling pin and whilst the laminate was still hot, I rolled the ID with all my might. The rolling process smooths out the laminate and can really look good, but I suggest you practice a few times. ID's can be easily made by following the above. The problem is that now, due to people being able to make ID's easily a lot of places are changing to drivers licence's only. These can still be faked, but are a lot harder to do. Drivers Licences ---------------- These are the biggest bitches to fake, but are the most accepted of all ID. There are two real methods to fake a licence, which I shall explain. The easiest, and perhaps most successful way of getting a fake drivers licence is via this method. It involves carefully peeling the cover laminate away from the licence. If accomplished sucessfully, you know have the licence sans laminate. Changing the date of birth is about all you can do with this method. By carefully scratching off the last digit of the D.O.B you can change this with a pen. If done properly there is little evidence that the licence has been changed. A laminate slip must then by placed over the ID and re-laminated as shown above. The second way to change a licence allows you to totally change everything, including the name and address. This is accomplished only if you have access to a very high tech PC with scanner and colour Ink Jet printer. The licence is scanned at the best resolution possible, so that there is no defects. The data is then changes on screen, and the licence printed out at the best possible resolution of the printer. This is then fixed onto a thin plastic cut-out (From an ice cream container) and re-laminated. This method is very hard to acheive any decent results, but decent results can be amazing. I have personally never seen this done, but kids in Adelaide are allegedly doing it for a huge profit ($100 per licence). Conclusion ---------- Well, as you can see, fake ID's require a lot of attention to detail if they are to be used successfully. Of the two methods, the drivers licence is the most accepted but is also the hardest to do properly. A semi decent ID that passes for most purchases, eg alcohol and cigarettes can be made really easily. The fake ID's manufactured from scratch will not however pass in the majority of night clubs anymore. To enter most clubs in Adelaide you now need a drivers licence because people have been getting busted using their ID's. Be smart about it people and you will have a successful carreer. One final note - Please don't try to purchase something using a Fake ID that says you're from a Uni if you are wearing a high scholl uniform. This is how I got busted. A total lame motherfucker tried to buy cigarettes in a school uniform with a Uni ID. Real smart..... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Section [5] - Hacking a VMB - By Sen Goku Inspired by recent scanning of 1800 nos. I decided to start hacking the systems that I found. It is really hard to find information on this subject, giving neophytes a tiny starting base. In my short experiences I have learnt a lot about the telephone system here in the land of Oz and abroad. I have found plenty of VMB's during the past through days, the majority being in Amerika. I guess that it hasen't taken off in Australia, much the same as PBX's. Guess that's because we don't have too many huge multi-national companies??? This information is not mine, and is culled from a variety of sources with credit being given when I have the authors name etc. Some of the shit has been lying on my hard disk for nearly a year so I'm sorry if I don't credit you for your text. Substance's Complete Guide To Hacking Meridian Mail Systems (VMB) [PART 1] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feb 1st, 1995 --Made for Phrack Introduction To Meridian Mail Box Systems By Substance @ Another Way of Life [hpavc] 518_383_1369 NOTE1: In case you didn't know VMB stands for Voice Mail Box NOTE2: This is the information that I have gathered from hacking Meridians, and is not guaranteed to be 100% accurate NOTE3: Disclaimer : There is none, I did this article to encourage people to go and fuck around with Meridians, so sue me. ------------ Introduction ------------ Before we begin, Let's shed a little light on the subject of Meridian. This is one of my favorite VMB systems to hack, because: Number 1 : There are many Meridian VMB Systems throughout the country, in -------- 800 exchanges and numbers local to you. You can bet that there are at least 10 - 15 different corporations using Meridian throughout your area code Number 2 : (The Most Important by far.) Almost ALL Meridian mails -------- use the Mail Box number as the default password. (Unless changed manually) Number 3 : About 95 percent have outdialing features. Most don't have long -------- distance access, but this can still be very useful for diverting calls, and getting free calls in that area code. Ok, enough light shed on the matter. Let's get to identifying and hacking those fuckers! -------------------------- Identifying Meridian VMB's -------------------------- Most Meridian VMBs just come right out and say exactly what they are. I'd say about 8 out of 10 will just come out, right after it answers and say: "MERIDIAN MAIL" "MAILBOX?" or just "MAILBOX?" (it is ALWAYS a female computer [digitized] voice) Half the time you will only hear "RIDIAN MAIL". (This must be caused by a timing bug in Meridian.) Once you hear that, write the # down, since it may be useful in the future for such things as 3rd party billing (more on that later), as a code line or just as a personal VMB. If you know for a fact (or a guess in that matter) that this is a Meridian mailbox but when you call it, it just says 'Leave a message' or has someone actually talking instructing you to leave a message, then you have reached what might be a direct VMB line. These are usually numbers people pay more money for, that will give them a direct 800 number instead of going through the "mailbox #" part. These are the best, but probably the hardest to hack, because even though (according to a recent poll) about 70% of people are stupid enough to leave their mailbox number as their password, if you are serious and want to pay that much for a direct line, you are probably going to change the password. Even though I have seen many that do have the default, the odds are against it. Ok back to the point. If you find a direct VMB, call all the numbers around it, because chances good are that you will find the system that just asks for a box number, very close. I would recommend about +50 numbers and -50 numbers and you'll find the root system. You will also find many other direct boxes in your quest. NOTE: The ROOT SYSTEM is the number you call and simply hear 'MAILBOX' or 'MERiDiAN MAiL' Another thing to remember is that you have to find out how many digits your mailbox #'s are going to be. The number of digits I've seen in my career differs from about 2 digits (rare) to 6 (also fairly rare). The most likely # of digits it will probably have is 4, or 5... Call your VMB and when it asks for mailbox #, hit '111#' (Note: You ALWAYS have to end a command on a Meridian mail system with an '#') if it says (with a quick response) 'INVALID box #' then try a 4 digit code. Sometimes (yeah, I know it sucks) you will have to fuck around for a while before you can tell how many digits, or even worse you may never know, and have to keep alternating #'s of digits, until you hit a valid box. Hacking The Fuckers: First off, think of what you are going to record as an outgoing message before you go and hack it. Decide if this should be a code line, or a personal VMB, or... Both? Here are the first default boxes you should try before dialing random ones: 111 222 333 444 555 666 777 888 999 000 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 123 234 345 456 567 678 789 890 901 121 212 etc. etc. etc. If boxes are 4 digits, add a trailing number. If you don't know the length, mess around a while, you'll get one. If you call someone's direct VMB and you hear a message like "You have reached So&So's VMB please leave a message, and I will return your call as soon as possible" there are a few ways to transfer to a different mailbox. Try simply hitting #, that might just hang up on you, unfortunately. Call back try hitting *. When you hear 'MAiLBOX' you just struck home. Try entering 123#. Now, a few things can happen. Either: 1 It will transfer you to 123's mailbox 2 It will say invalid mailbox, or simply 'MAILBOX' again 3 It will say Password When you hear 123's mailbox you can try and hack it by hitting *, and hope it will ask 'PASSWORD?' If it doesn't then you can't do much with this system except leave messages for that person (What Fun). If it does ask "PASSWORD?" then try the box # as the default password. (On your quest for a valid VMB you will find that MANY MANY people are total fucking morons and keep their password at the default) others will make it something easy to remember like 123# or 111# etc. etc. etc. If the password is not the Default then just write this number down in a notebook and move on. If all else fails and you can't figure out how to get to the MAILBOX prompt you should call all the #s around the one you found to try and find the root system. If you get in, (with the default or otherwise) it will probably say: 'MAILBOX EMPTY' or 'YOU HAVE n MESSAGES' If you press 7* it will reply with: Message option 0 (unknown at this time) Reply 1 (used to reply to a previous message) Play envelope 2 (unknown at this time) Forward 3 (Forward your mail to another box) Reply all 4 (Reply with a multi-mail) compose 5 (send multi-mail) delete 6 (used to delete mail [duh]) send 9 (sends single mail [must have mailbox number ready) if you press 8* it will reply with: Mailbox options 0 (Changes operator code (not useful) login 1 (Gives you the option to transfer mailbox's) greeting 2 (Can change greeting (internal & external) logoff 3 (Kicks you off the system) password change 4 (Changes VMB password [verifies 2x] distribution list 5 (Not useful) goto 6 (Takes you back to 'MAILBOX EMPTY' Personal verification 9 (Lets you record a name for personal verify) to exit press # (logoff) This is not all very useful, the most you can do with these commands is listen to people's mail (which can be fun), and/or take it over for your own code line or personal VMB. The whole point of hacking Meridians is the outdial function. Once you have successfully gotten into the VMB dial '0*' (Zero-Star). It should say: 'YOU HAVE REACHED A SYSTEM THAT WILL CONNECT YOU TO THE NUMBER THAT YOU ENTER. PLEASE ENTER THE NUMBER OR THE NUMBER OR THE NAME OF THE PERSON YOU WISH TO REACH. PRESS 11 FOR A NAME, SPELL THE LAST NAME THEN THE FIRST NAME blah, blah, blah.' This is the jackpot. With this you can call ANYWHERE (hopefully) for free, any time (unless the VMB has hours [...some do...]) To dial out, try this first: just dial a local number (ex 432-1342#) >From there it may beep and say 'THAT # CANNOT BE REACHED' or it may connect you. If it connects you, great! You just found an untraceable way of hacking! Call back and try 1-npa/xxx-yyyy (if that works, then abuse the hell out of it as soon as possible, because it wont last for long :) ) If those two methods don't work try these. 9+1+npa/xxx-yyyy (works most of the time) 8+1+npa/xxx-yyyy (not probable) 0+1+npa/xxx-yyyy (Possible) 9+xxx-yyyy 8+xxx-yyyy 0+xxx-yyyy If none of those work, then you're shit out of luck. Use it for a code line. If it did work, think of the possibilities, 900 numbers (for gaining access to boards), Tons of free LD, untraceable calls............ On to the last subject of part 1. ------------------------------ Another Way To Make Free Calls ------------------------------ Sorry, this only works on Direct VMB's, sometimes only the ones in your local exchange, its a long shot, but hell, its free. (But don't do this from your home phone, stupid.) Change the outgoing message on the direct VMB to 'Operator, this number accepts all collect and 3rd party billings' Call up the operator and ask for AT&T, once they come on tell her you would like to make a 3rd party billing. Tell her the number you're billing to is the VMB #, then tell her the number you wish to call. She'll say, "wait," AND a few moments later she'll come back and say they accepted. Presto! You're in! If you get busted, say you read a text file on how to do it, you didn't think it would work... (act innocent, alwayz worked for me :) You can leave me comments, suggestions or threats at my VMB (not a Meridian currently) *(800)775-0728* (direct)... Addendum -------- I have been experimenting with a meridian just today. I discovered that when asked for your mail box no. pressing 199 will send you to the menu that gives you the prompt Meridian Mail Mailbox? With the system that I was cracking I have had trouble in cracking the mailbox codes. The boxes are three number combinations but I'm unsure of the passwords. The defaults don't seem to work..... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Section [6] - Wicked Net Sites - Compiled by Sen Goku on my journies As members of the Australian h/p community we have little access to information that exists elsewhere due to the fucking isolation of this country. With the Internet becoming hugely popular, we can now get access to sites with interesting information relatively easily. Here are a few that I have found interesting in my trips. ftp.hyperreal.com in the drugs sub-directory. Complete synthesis details of chemical substances. ftp.2600.com - I got a cool ethernet sniffer from here to fuck around with my schools Novell network. http://www.l0pht.com - A really c00l hacker site. I went to download some info on Auspac and got some warning saying that I couldn't due to it being restricted by CERT or some other crap like that. ftp.eff.org - This is pretty lame. It only carries the older stuff.... ftp.freeside.com - I got Phrack #47 from here. Not bad... These should get you all started. I've got some more, but I'm still trying to find my notes. Sorry dudez... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Section [7] - The results of some 1800 12 #### scanning. This is my results from some scanning of this set of numbers. My method was to dial 1800 12 3030,3130,3230 etc. in progression up to 9898. This gave me a set of numbers, with the majority connecting to something. The results are summarized below. Carrier Detected ---------------- 1800 12 6464 - This gave me a carrier and no real response when dialled with a modem. 1800 12 3737 - When dialled via a modem I got Carrier: 300 Protocol: None Followed by shit.... 1800 12 9898 - This one was fucking weird. I got a strange dial tone, and when this dial tone was going, I found that by pressing 8 # and 8 * in order I could get a carrier spat back at me. Voice Mail Boxes ---------------- 1800 12 9292 - This was a persons private answering machine. Dunno why it was in this prefix, but I could play around with it a bit by experimenting with #1,#2,#3 etc. 1800 12 5252 - Not sure about this one. 1800 12 5656 - A US VMB I think. 1800 12 4141 - Cable Tron. A US company. Weird Tones and Stuff --------------------- 1800 12 6565 - A nip voice going totally insane!! 1800 12 7676 - Voice Com???? 1800 12 8585 - Nips again 1800 12 8686 - Italian I think.... 1800 12 9696 - Weird tones 1800 12 3636 - Not sure... I'm deliberately keeping some of this stuff to myself so that no-one fucks up some of the c00l stuff I've found. A heap of numbers gave me a message to dial again in a few minutes because the call could not be connected. These must all be overseas companies or something like that. I suggest anyone who is interested in the above numbers do some scanning yourselves. I'm definately interested in what anyone else finds. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Section [8] - Underground News #2 Russian Hackers raid CitiBank ----------------------------- Last year Russian Hackers stole more than $10 million from Citibanks electronic money transfer system.
