i recently downloaded a file on answer phone
hacking, only to find a lot of useless information
i already knew, or relating to the UsA. so i decided
to write my own guide, with practical tips on how to
hack answer phones in the Uk.
wHY wOULD i wANT to hACK iNTO aN aNSWERING mACHINE?
there are loadsa reasons why you would want to hack into an answer machine
remotely,
a) to cause trouble (change welcome message, delete callers messages, etc)
b) to find out about the person, what they do, what time they go to work, etc..
c) phone a arms/drugs dealer and find where he stashes the stuff!
d) phone a bank/insuarance agency and find credit card numbers [not that i
would encourage that]
as you can see, the list is endless, there are thousands of fun things to
do on an answering machine.
hOW to dO iT.
in this file i will be using the BT Response 400 answerphone as an example,
this is the most commonly used phone in existance [i think] although most
phones use the same system.
ok, first you need the security code, usually a 2 digit number. there are
various ways to obtain this; you could try numbers from 00 to 99 [phone 99
times, boring] although most of the codes i've seen are under 10 or like 55,
44,77,etc...
you could also use a computer program to try all the possible combinations
or you could obtain a piece of hardware to do it for you
[more about this in the eXTRAS section, at the end]
when you have the code, here's what you do:
1) dial the phone number
2) either during the outgoing message, during the silence after it or
when message recording begins key in your code
3) you're in!
4) now use the keys on your touchtone phone to control the anwering machine.
gUIDE to kEY fUNCTIONS.
0 - stop current operation/ remote switch off
1 - rewind tape
2 - play/pause messages
3 - fast forward
4 - save
5 - erase
6 - reset a message or memo
7 - stop/start announcement recording
8 - stop/start memo recording
9 - play/pause memo
# - start remote interrogation
* - announcement skip
eXTRAs.
A. if you have access to the target phone [response 400] heres how to
operate remote interrogation and change the code:
-changing code
1) lift the lid that covers the micro cassette
2) press the code key
3) press FF or REW once to display existing code
4) press FF or REW to change the code [FF up a digit, REW down a digit]
5) press code key again to save changes
-activating remote interrorgation
1) look on the left of the phone [handset side]
2) you should see 4 different sliding black switches
3) the nearest one [to the front of the phone] should say REMOTE, ON/OFF
4) change to remote ON.
B. hardware to find code [details of]
some of you may have heard of M.P supplies, they sell all kinds of military
and police gear at vERY high prices.
they stock a device called a 'telephone answering machine intruder'. below
are the details of it, as seen in M.P supplies 1994 law enforcment catalog:
TELEPHONE ANSWERING MACHINE INTRUDER: Most modern day answering machines are
supplied complete with a seperate digital tone generating "remote" unit
designed to provide the user with the ability to interrorgate their
answering machine, from any telephone in the world, by simply placing
the unit against a telephone mouthpiece and sending the relevent digital
tone security code direct to the answering machine in question - the user
can then listen to and/or erase any messages left, leave a new outgoing
message, etc, etc... With this in mind, the Telephone Answering Machine
Intruder is developed and designed to allow the user to access any telephone
answering machine by defeating it's unique security code system.
The telephone answering machine intruder accomplishes this by generating
the correct security code thereby allowing the user to listen to any
messages left or, depending on the sophistication of the answering machine
concerned, to erase all or some of the maessages, record a new outgoing
message or even change the telephone answering machine's security code !!
Indeed the Telephone Answering Machine Intruder even allows access to the
latest design in telephone answering machines which actually play a voice
menu telling you what exactly can be done and the tones required to do it !!
Originally developed for task force detectives, the Telephone Answering
Machine Intruder is a unique telephone surviellance device as almost
everyone, including most criminals, seem to have totally unwarranted
assumptions regarding the security of taped phone messages - usually
leaving details which include their name and telephone number; time,
place and date of their various activities etc. etc.. With this in mind
the possible uses for this unique device are endless with intelligence
gathering, crime investigation, counter industrial espionage activities
etc. etc.. being just a few examples. The Telephone Answering Machine
Intruder can access any answering machine which uses one, two or three
digit security codes. Is powered by 9v battery (not included) and requires
cassette tape player (not included).
AMINT ...ANSWERING MACHINE INTRUDER.......................... 199.99 (f)
[ (f) means 3.00 post and packaging within Uk ]
Well, if i buy one [which i doubt] i'll make a circuit diagram.
Anyone who does want to buy one can contact MP supplies on (0245) 476429
or try any other surviellence equipment manufacturer for a cheaper version.
Don't forget that MP supplies will charge you 3.00 for their catalogs!
rEFERENCES [extracts from Response 400 manual]
A.
tones and their meanings
Every key entry and function is confirmed by a unique tone.
These help you understand what is happening when you cannot see
the Response 400 operating
These are the tones and their meanings:
One beep* Acceptance of first security code digit, or first digit
of double entry instruction.
Two beeps* Acceptance of second security code digit, or second digit
of double entry instruction, or acceptance of instruction resulting
in immediate action.
Three beeps* End of personal memo or message replay.
Four beeps* incorrect instruction or line release.
Continuous beeping (winding tone) tape winding.
Widely separated beeps* playing paused.
One long tone* invitation to record tone unless you reset them, messages and memos are saved after replay.
note: if you do not give an instruction within seven seconds Response 400
will release the line.

seven seconds.
F.
erasing messages during playback
To erase all or part of a message, perhaps for security reasons, proceed
as follows:
1. Play your messages to the end of the part you want to erase.
2. Key 5 Response 400 fast rewinds the tape for 15 seconds erasing
the message as it rewinds.
3. When erasure is complete, playback of your messages will continue.
4. Repeat the operations to erase further portions of the recordings as
required.
G.
Setting Response 400 to home mode [answer OFF]
