OUOUOWOWNONOHOHOTOTOYPYPTITI Y YRSRSF F D D MEM== W WE E Y Y Y Y W W WHacking Sprint: The Easy Way ----- L LE E NENEBOBO B BY,Y,EBEBN N THTHIFIFANAN V VORORFEFEININEXEXLLL- W WE E Y Y Y Y W W W W T TBy: Tracker If you hack US Sprint, 950-0777 (by the way it is no longer GTE Sprint), and you are fustrated at hacking several hours only to find one or two codes, then follow these tips, and it will increase your results tremendously.W First, one thing that Mr.WMojo proved is that Sprint will not store more than one code in every hundred numbers.W (ex: 98765400 to 98765499 may contain only one code). W There may NOT be a code in that hundred, but there will never be more than one. Sprint's 9 digit codes are stored from 50000E E through 9999999DE. In the beginning of Sprint's 950 port, they only had 8 digit codes.W Then they started converting to 9 digit codes, storing all 8 digit codes between 1000E E and 499999DE and all 9 digit codes between 50000E E and 9999999DE. Sprint has since cancelled most 8 digit codes, although there are a few left that have been denoted as test codes.W Occaisionally, I hear of phreaks saying they have 8 digit codes, but when verifying them, the codes were invalid. Now, where do you start?W You have already narrowed the low and high numbers in half, therefore already increasing your chances of good results by 50 percent.W The next step is to find a good prefix to hack.W By the way, a prefix, in hacking terms, is the first digits in a code that can be any length except the same number of digits the code is.W (ex: 123456789 is a code.W That means 1, 12, 123, 1234, 12345, 123456, 1234567, and 12345678 are prefixes)W The way you find a good prefix to hack is to manually enter a code prefix.W If when you enter the code prefix and a valid destination number and you do not hear the ringing of the recording telling you that the code is invalid until near the end of the number, then you know the prefix is valid. WHere is a chart to follow when doing this: Code T T- Destination NANRange good codes exist BY,Y,EBEBN N THTHIFIFANAN V VORORFEFEININEXEXLLL- 123456789T- 6192RNANMOMO A A12340E E -A1234999DE 123456789T- 619267RNANMOMO A12345E E -A1234599DE 123456789T- 61926702RNANMOMO123456 E -A1234569DE 123456789T- 6192670293RNMOMO1234567E -A1234567DE BY,Y,EBEBN N THTHIFIFANAN V VORORFEFEININEXEXLLL- ( RT- Denotes when ring for recording starts) To prove this true, I ran a test using OmniHack 1.3p, written by Jolly Joe.W In this test I found a prefix where the last 3 digits were all I had to hack.W I tested each hundred of the 6 digit prefix finding that all but 4 had the ring start after the fourth digit was dialed in the destination number.W The other four did not ring until I had finished the entire code.W I set OmniHack to hack the prefix + E until prefix + DE. (ex: xxxxxxy00 to xxxxxxy99: where y is one of the four numbers that the ring did not start until the dialing was completed.)W Using this method, I found four codes in a total of 241 attempts using ascending hacking (AKA: Sequential).W Below you will see a record of my hack: Range of hackW W W W T TCodes found Y W Tries Y,EBEBN N THTHIFIFANAN V VORORFEFEININEXEXLLL- xxxxxx3E -Axxxxxx3DE Y W xxxxxx350 OMO A A50 xxxxxx5E -Axxxxxx5DE Y W xxxxxx568 OMO A A68 xxxxxx6E -Axxxxxx6DE Y W xxxxxx646MOMO A A46 xxxxxx8E -Axxxxxx8DE Y W xxxxxx877MOMO A A77 Y,EBEBN N THTHIFIFANAN V VORORFEFEININEXEXLLL- Totals Y Y W WE E Y Y W E4 codes OMO A A241 As you see, these methods work.W Follow these guidlines and tips and you should have an increase in productionMof codes in the future hacking Sprint.W Also, if you have any hints/tips you think others could benefit from, then type them up and upload them to one of the boards at the end of the newsletter. ===== ANANTHTHS S ! ! OUOUOWOWNONOHOHOTOTOYPYPTITI Y YRSRSF F D D MEM== W WE E Y Y Y Y W W WNANRumors: Why Spread Them? ----- L LE E NENEBOBO B BY,Y,EBEBN N THTHIFIFANAN V VORORFEFEININEXEXLLL-- W WE E Y Y Y Y W W W W T TTBy: Tracker Do you ever get tired of hearing rumors?W You know, someone gets an urge to impress others, so they create a rumor that some long distance company is now using tracing equipment.W Why start rumors?W It only scares others out of phreaking, and then makes you, the person who started the rumor, look like Mr.WBig.W This article is short, but it should make you aware of the rumors that people spread for personal gain.W The best thing to do is to denote them as a rumor starter and then leave it at that.W You should not rag on them constantly, since if the other users cannot determine if it is fact or rumor, then they should suffer the consequences. ===== ANANTHTHS S ! ! OUOUOWOWNONOHOHOTOTOYPYPTITI Y YRSRSF F D D MEM== W WE E Y Y Y Y W W The New Sprint FON Calling Cards Y,EBEBN N THTHIFIFANAN V VORORFEFEININEXEXLLL-NAN V VORORFEFEININEXEXLLL-- W WE E Y Y Y Y W W W W T TTTBy: Tracker US Sprint has opened up a new long distance network called the Fiber Optic Network (FON), in which subscribers are given calling cards.W These calling cards are 14 digits, and though, seem randomly generated, they are actually encrypted.W The rumors floating around about people getting caught using the Sprint FON calling cards are fact, not rumors.W The reason people are getting caught is that they confuse the FON calling cards with the local 950 port authorization codes.W If you will remember, you never use AT&T calling cards from you home phone.W It has ANI capability, which is not tracing, but rather the originating phone number is placed on the bill as soon as the call is completed.W They know your phone number when you call the 8E access port, but they do not record it until your call is completed.W Also, through several of my hacks, I came up with some interesting information surrounding the new Sprint network. They are listed below. 8E -877-E E This number is for information on US Sprint's 8E calling card service.W I have not played around with it, but I believe it is for trouble or help with the FON calling cards.W I am not sure if it is for subscribing to the FON network. 8E -877-E E2 -AYou hear a short tone, then nothing. 8E -877-E E3 -AUS Sprint Alpha Test Channel #1 8E -877-(E E4-09DE) When you call these numbers, you get a recording saying: "Welcome to US Sprint's 1 plus service."W When the recording stops, if you hit the pound key (#) you will get the calling card dial tone. Other related Sprint numbers 8E -521-4949 W This is the number that you subscribe to US Sprint with. You may also subscribe to the FON network on this number.W It will take 4 to 5 weeks for your calling card to arrive. 10777 This is US Sprint's equal access number.W When you dial this number, you then dial the number you are calling, and it will be billed through US Sprint, and you will receive their long distance line for that call.W Note that you will be billed for calls made through equal access.W Do not mistake it to be a method of phreaking, unless used from a remote location. If you are in US Sprint's 1+ service then call 1+7E -555-1414, which will tell you which long distance company you are using.W When you hear: "Thank you for choosing US Sprint's 1 plus service," hit the pound key (#), and then you will get the US Sprint dial tone.W This however is just the same as if you are calling from your home phone if you dial direct, so you would be billed for calls made through that, but there are ways to use this to your advantage as in using equal access through a PBX. ===== ANANTHTHS S ! ! OUOUOWOWNONOHOHOTOTOYPYPTITI Y YRSRSF F D D MEM== W WE E Y Y Y Y W Automatic Number Identification (ANI) Y,EBEBN N THTHIFIFANAN V VORORFEFEININEXEXLLL-NAN V VORORFEFEININEXEXLLL-- W WE E Y Y Y Y W W W W T TBy: Tracker The true definition for Automatic Number Identification has not been widely known to many.W Automatic Number Identification, (AKA: ANI), is the process of the destination number knowing the originating number, which is where you are calling from.W The method of achieving this is to send the phone number that you are calling from in coded form ahead of the destination number.WBelow is an example of this. ANI Method Dial: 267-0293 Sent: ****** W2670293 *T- Denotes the originating number which is coded and sent before the W WEnumber As you noticed there are 8 digits in the coded number.W This is because, at least I believe, it is stored in a binary-like form. Automatic Number Identification means a limited future in phreaking. ANI does not threaten phreaking very much yet, but it will in the near future. A new switching system will soon be installed in most cities that are covered by ESS, Electronic Switching System, now. The system will have ANI capabilities which will be supplied to the owners of phone lines as an›added extra.W The owner's phone will have an LED read-out that will show the phone number of the people that call you.W You will be able to block some numbers, so that people cannot call you.W This system is in the testing stages currently, but will soon be installed across most of the country.W As you see, this will end a large part of phreaking, until we, the phreakers, can come up with an alternative.W As I have been told by several, usually reliable, people, this system is called ISS, which I am not sure of the meaning of this, and is being tested currently in Rhode Island. 8E in-watts lines set up by AT&T support ANI.W The equipment to decode an ANI coded origination number does not costs as much as you would expect.W 950 ports do not offer ANI capability, no matter what you have been told.W The 950 ports will only give the city in which they are based, this usually being the largest in the state, sometimes the capitol. One last thing that I should tell you is that ANI is not related to tracing.W Tracing can be done on any number whether local, 950, etc.W One way around this, especially when dialing Alliance TeleConferencing, is to dial through several extenders or ports.W ANI will only cover the number that is calling it, and if you call through a number that does not support ANI, then your number will never be known. ===== ANANTHTHS S ! !
