Newsletter #2 - By Zapper
9-14-89Introduction ..
We at NARC strive be the most knowledgable in this phreak world as we can. This file is dedicated to the beginner. In Future issues, we will go into a more depth subject matter such as Hacking other computer systems. Look for the Official NARC 800 Carrier List. This will be a combined file of present carriers known, and quite a few new systems that we have found in wardialing. Laidher Dudes, on to the Text.
Code Usage for the Beginner
There have been many files written on Hacking and Phreaking, But this file deals with the safety of phreaking in the area of Code Hacking.
First you will use a program called a Code Hacker, which works on a simple idea, if the call goes through it will detect a carrier and record the code in a text file for l8r viewing. As of now, I am not sure what is safe to hack and what is not . A Lot of people feel 950's (950-xxxx) are safer then 800's. I've heard people say, if a company can afford a 800 # then they can usually afford ANI (Automatic Number Identification) . Look at it this way, who do you think is a bigger company , MCI/SPRINT/TELECONNECT/etc (the actual phone companys or some company's business watss line. which is smaller than the phone co. which a lot of the 950's are actual phone company lines. All 950's have automatic ANI, and MCI has a service on the bill of the 800 owner it will show the phone # from which the call was made. So , I dunno. I guess you could say phreaking is a RISKY Business now a dayz.....
But, the point of this file is to give new Phreakers some tips on safety, for safety is THE most import aspect of Phreaking, because if you get busted, all hell breaks loose!, and if your 18 years or older you can serve time for it. And it most cases people 17 will be tried as a adult.
My Advice, use codes until you reach 18, then stop! or be a occasional phreaker, say, 1/2 calls a week. Or use extenders that are fresh and safe, but still you're risking a lot after you hit the 18 year marker. so be karefull dudes.. Now, A lot of people get their codes from other BBS's and VMB's (Voice Mail Boxes) . Which i Don't recommend. I ran a VMB Codeline for like half a year, and its nothing but trouble. Unless your calling from fortress. Generally speaking, if you run a VMB on a 1800 line, it would be wise to use it a month, and find a new location. the FBI Shut down both of my vmb's. It's a wonder I didn't get busted cuz i wuz kalling from my home phone. Back to Hacking, Hack your own codes and use them, you don't know where a code has been if you get it off a BBS/VMB. Never use a code for more than 3 days.
Most people think that the best time to Phreak (run their Code Hackers) is in the middle of the night, this is the worst time to hack. During business hours is when the many people use their codes, and they are a perfect camouflage. Leave it on while your at school!
When your hacking, set it up to have several carrier #'s , where the company won't notice a pattern. and always hack Random!! Never hack SEQUENTIALLY. Another tip I have thought of...I suggest not using any codes the last 3 days of any month...why? Because that is when people get their phone bills, and that is when they will report Phreaking on their code, and that is when you dont want to use the code!
If you want to give out the codes you hack, I suggest only giving them out to trusted people...only release them to the public after you have used them for your week and will never use them again...Tell the people which you give the Codes exactly when you hacked it...so they too won't get caught. (When you think about it...it is Sooo much safer to hack your own codes!). To End this file I'd like to say, i Failed English, so thats why this is not in Paragraph form and proper English! HA! And that Codes are Risky. And if you ever get busted, don't rat on people who give you codes or help you out. or Don't rat on anyone. Everyone hates a NARC. and your life will probably be miserable after that, people will threten to bomb your house/kill you/turn your power off/cancel your credit cards, the possibilities are Endless. take it like a Man! ha. welp, if closing, i'd like to say, if you have other means of calling out other than using codes, use them first. PBX's are a lot safer than codes. If you can find a local PBX, you're set. Don't abuse it, and it will do you for a long time. Probably my Favorite means of phreaking is using a outdial. This is something like PCP/StarLink, you call a computer and it connects, and allows you to dial a remote #. These are usually found on Government MainFrames, and are usually un-passworded. I will trade for any outdials you have!! make me a offer! ha.. welp. thus this ends the 2nd NARC Newsletter. L8r Dayz..
