THIS FILE IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to the third edition of TeK magazine. Alot has happend since the last two issues were written, i will not get into all if it tho, but some instersting things have occured that are worth mentioning. First of all, info just seems to have a way of finding me, it seems that everytime i turn around some cool # or code happens to magically appear before my eyes :) I have found many dialups to certain systems that i thought i would never see, i have gotten calling card #'s from places i never thought i would get them, i have gotten credit card #'s from most unlikely of places (Right Exist? :) It has been a crazy past few weeks for me and my phreaking career. There is so much more i would like to say, but i cant, out of fear that i might incriminate myself :) Anyways, enjoy this issue, as we have added a few new features, such as TeK headline news! It is an article about local news pertaining to H/P in loops. And it is also we have also added an update article, that will keep you informed on all of TeK's updates. There ya go, enjoy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- TeK UPDATES ----------- Ok, TeK will now be accepting articles from other people that are not TeK members. We want to see what other kinds of info there is out there that other kamloops locals are getting. So if you would like to submit an article, which can be about almost anything really, email it to MiND FLaYER on H.W.N.R. BBS, and it might show up in the next issue. So, come on everyone start sending in articles, from Credit Card fraud, to HAM radio, to WaReZ, we want anything pertaining to the underground. Hope to hear from you soon. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- TeK Hall of Lame ---------------- Here is the TeK hall of lame, each issue we hope that we DONT have to put someone here, but this is kamloops, and there are lamers here... Alias: Cinder Age: 15 Height: Short Weight: Skinny Origin of Alias: Unkown, and lets keep it that way Computer Type: 486 something Computers Owned: Dunno Favorite Music: Who cares Favorite Food: Who cares Interests: Pretending to be elite, talking about shit that he doesnt know about, being a lippy fuck, and a liar. Previous Arrests: None, cause hes never done anything to get arrested for. Most UNelite accomplishments: Thinking an RSU was a BCTEL office, thinking that a trunk controller is a REAL TRUNK, lying about having a system security job for an ISP making 20$ and hour, attempting to make a fuckin lame OS called Phinux, lying about getting root on BELLCORE.COM, attempting to make a comm program and failing, saying that Hackerz With No REMORSE BBS is lame and has nothing to offer. Being a general prick about everthing, and anything. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- GTD-5 EAX SWITCHING SYSTEM ------------------- By MiND FLaYER First, i will give you a little background info on what a swithing system is. A swithing system is (a switch) allows connect between two (or more) phone lines, or two trunks. A basic T1 trunk is 24 lines on a 22 gauge, 4-wire twisted pair. Not only does the switch allow connect, it controls connection, where you call, and when someone calls you. In short it controls everything about your phone, including special services such as call waiting, call forwarding, etc.. The purpose of switches in phreaking, is to get access to the switch, via modem, and fuck with it, if you had an account on the switch, you could disconnect lines, add lines, add services, remove services, increase phone bills, get CNA's, and lots of other shit, and you can see how it would benifit a phreak, cause you could mainly fuck with your enemies if you had access to the switch, and new all the commands. Kamloops and Area GTD-5 Switch System Discription ----------------------------- The GTD-5 is a four-wire, electronic, stored program control(SPC) family of digital switching systems that can serve a wide range of applications, from a small community dial office (CDO) of a few hundred lines to a large class 5 Central Office with a capicity of over 100,000 lines. System Overview --------------- The GTD-5 family consists of host and remote units interfaced via 24-channel DS-1 digital span lines called Host-Remote (H-R) links. The family members include a base unit (BU) that functions as the basic switching system, a remote periphreal switching system called a remote switching unit (RSU) and two types of remote peripheral systems that are applied as pair gain units, a Remote Line Unit (RLU) and a multiplexer unit (MXU). The BU serves as the host office for the RLU's, RSU's and the MXU's. The RSU may also serve as the host office for the RLU's and MXU's, but it must home on a BU for access to the rest of the telephone network. Base Unit (BU) -------------- The Base Unit is located downtown kamloops on the 4th floor of the st. paul st. central office, it is kamloops main switch, and it controls all RSU's and RLU's. The base unit is the basic SWITCH (The big daddy of the GTD-5 family). The BU provides common control, administrative and maintenance funtions, and the various swithing stages for the entire GTD-5 family, and it can preform as any of the following: a) A stand-alone Central Office (CO) in a small community of a few hundred lines. b) An intermediate-size digital class 5 switching center that integrates several switching centers. c) A metropolitan or suburban area application that consolodates many small wire centers into a single swithing center that can server well over 100,000 lines. The implementation of a BU provides the basic block of the GTD-5 digital exchange, it can server as any of the following: a) A replacement for an obsolete CO swithing system or one that has reached the end of its service life. b) A new wire center within an existing wire center. c) An addition to an existing wire center to facilitate growth and evolve to partially or fully replace the existing center. d) A temporary replacemtent for an existing office during renovation of the building or during a disaster situation. The BU is arranged for economical start-up to satisfy present needs, and can easily grow in modular incrememts to adopt to future requirments without signifigant changes to the existing network, facility interfaces, or processor Remote Swithing Unit -------------------- You can identify an RSU in the 604 area by the way the building looks, you see them around town, they are small building, about the size of a car garage, usually with a fence around them. They have some warnings about electrical hazards on the doors, and the BCTel logo. If you could get into one of these building you would have alot of elite access to phone lines around the area of the RSU. The RSU is a small to intermediate size remote digital switching system designed for unattended operation (Once again it doesnt need some overpaid Slob of a BCTel empoyee standing over it doing nothing but eating donuts) The RSU can apply as any of the following: a) A consolodating of small offices. b) A switching system for a new wire center. c) An addition to an existing wire center to provide for new growth. d) A temporary replacement for an existing office during renovation or during a disaster dituation. The RSU is linked to and controlled by the host BU (Which is usually located at the central office) The distance from its controlling BU is limited only by the onterconnecting H-R links (DS-1 digital span lines). The RSU provides for local calls and has the capability for trunking(Under control of the BU) between itself and other offices not not in the CO. When RSU trunking is not employed, interoffice traffic is provided soley through the BU. The RSU can server up to a maximum of 6,144 lines or up to 768 analog/digital trunks. (Analog trunks are mostly obselete now) In the RSU, call proccessing and maintenence instructions are normally recived from the BU via data links. In the anticipated case where these links are lost however, the RSU can be provided with an optional survivability feature. In this survival mode, the RSU is arranged to complete line to line calls without any special features such as call waiting, etc. Remote Line Unit ---------------- The Remote Line Unit was FULLY explained in TeK issue #1 (Download that file from Hackers With No REMORSE BBS at 604-828-7843. Multiplexer Unit ---------------- The MXU is a small pair gain unit for use in sparsly populated areas(e.g. apartment complexes, shopping centers, and temporary convention areas). The MXU can home on either an RSU or a BU. The MXU is designed for pad (platform) or rack mouting, and can server up to 96 lines via 1 to 4 H-R links. The use of the MXU offers the following benefits: a) A smooth transition from analog to digital facilities. b) The flexibility to meet new growth requirments in concentrated areas such as shopping centers and subdivisions. c) The economics of PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) carrier for feeder routes to make relocation of a wire center feasible.

The design of the GTD-5 provides a highly dependable system that is supposedly easily maintaned (If it was so easy, why do switchmen make so much damn money??) State of the art, large scale integration (LSI) technology is used, reducing the number of integrated circuits to ensure overall system reliablility (Sounds like a pretty good add eh? :) Structured software, multimicroprocessing techniques, and a Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) digital network are incorporated in the system design. The peripheral equipment converts analog signals to digital signals when required, (And vice versa) and the network switches digital signals between two-wire costomer lines(Your phone line) and DS-1 compatible facilities, and other CO's. The GTD-5 has the following major characteristics: a) Network. A four-wire, Time Division Multiplexed (TDM), threestage Time-Space-Time (T-S-T) network is employed. The network for the BU and RSU are duplicated. b) Costomer loop resistence. Maximum customer loop resistance, including the phone, is 1,900 ohms. c) Host-Remote Links (H-R, these links connect the GTD-5 Base Unit (BU) to its three small scale remote units). These links can span distances of 50 to 200 miles (With additions). This allows a maximum of 200 miles between the host office and the farthest remote circuit. There, there is some knowledge of the GTD-5 switch, i could go on writting or days about the switch, cause the info i have on it is quite extensive, but that would take to much time. But now you know alot about the switch, and how it works and its different components. From here you should be able to figure out some way to fuck with the RLU's, RSU's and MXU's, and if you found this info useless, then you are NOT A PHREAK, and should stop hanging out on H/P boards. If any of you have any questions regarding the switch, please feel free to contact MiND FLaYER on HWNR BBS, dont be affraid to ask questions, thats whay i want.
