If accessing via another PAD just use the proper format as explained earlier. I'm working on a complete list of a Austpac NUA's along with MIDAS ones, but that will take some time. Catch Ya Later ----====} THE FORCE {====---- L O C A T I N G P T S N N U M B E R S ------------------------------------------- If you ever have a need to locate an online system belonging to a particular company, it can be a very tall order to fill. However there are few things you can do which will help, although success is not guaranteed. 1> When a Company sets up a data line, It must be registered by telecom to be legal. (Isn't it great to have a friends working there ey?) All data lines are classed a FAX lines, and unless telecom has been specifically instructed not to list the number in any public listing, you will most probably find it listed in the FAX DIRECTORY, which is available from Telecom. It's an equivalent of a phone book with only data lines listed. So, just grab a copy of the directory and look up the company. Chances are that it might be there. One can even find BBS systems in there if they have been registered by the Sysop. 2> When a company sets up their phone network, they usually plan ahead and a lot of times when they get voice and data lines assigned, they will be very close together in value. So, simply look up the victims voice line and try a few numbers lower and higher than the voice number. Again there is a chance of comming up with something. 3> The last resort, is scanning phone numbers in series for a carrier tone. It can take a lot of time, and be very expensive, since we just can't use the same hardware to make toll free calls like they do in the USA. There is a feasable way of doing though. A lot of systems will answer after the first few dial tones, so set your demon dialer program to dial a number, sit there for only a few ring tones and hang up. The longer you let it ring, the more accurate it will be, but more costly, if people have enough time to pick up the phone. If you let it ring about 3-4 times and you have your scanner going at 4am, you should have very few problems, either with accuracy and finance. There are some fancy alternatives like tapping another line, using a phone box etc, but they are too messy. OBTAINING PASSWORDS, INFOLTRATING SYSTEMS ------------------------------------------ There are a few methods available which you can use to get into systems. 1> The most common and by far the least successful in regards to the amount of time waisted is the ole front line security warfare. It basicaly means physically trying to guess a username/password pair for the system trying random, but logical combinations, or using prior knowledge of the system, ie DEFAULT ACCOUNTS, USERNAME STRUCTURES etc. A Sophisticated Sprinter can be a great aid, but it's a good idea to have some prior knowldge of username formats. A system that will actually tell you that a username is invalid, before you enter a password, is as good as hacked. Some PRIMENETS, VM/370's and TOPS-20 systems are about the best examples. 2> Many systems, particularly new ones, tend to have weak points in their front line security which you can use to gain access.. Here is a small list which I have found, but there are many more. - TOPS-20 Systems have a FINGER command before login, which can be used to examine files, mail etc, without the knowldege of a Password. They also have a SYSTAT command which lists the online users which can be used before you login. A lot of them have now been changed and the FINGER command removed, but still there are a few out there. - PRIMENETS, These had a few weak points in the early versions, but a lot of them are now non-existent, if they are running later versions of PRIMOS. It's still a good idea to know about them, because I have found few systems which have not been updated. Ok, when you are prompted for a password on the old primos, and you have a legitimate username, typing CTRL-C for password, can give you access. Another weak point of most Primenets, are the Default accounts, mainly TEST, which often have no need for a password. To crash the system from captive mode into primos, CTRL-P pressed several times will often do the job. CTRL-P when pressed in the right spot will crash into Primos. You will have to spend a lot of time finding the right spot, but every primenet I came across was crashable. I don't usually give this out, but concentrate on the captive communication module. - UNIX's have got so many holes in them that it's really not funny, but to make use of them, one needs to get inside first and there are dozens of defaults to choose from. More about that later. 3> SOCIAL ENGINEERING. Yes, my favourite one. The term has originated in the USA and means BULLSHITING PEOPLE to get them to hand over their passwords quite willingly. If one is to attempt this art, one needs the tools. These are mainly an ADULT voice, since a teenager will get nowhere, and the ability to plan out the conversation and anticipate every responce. Let me give you a few examples: You all know that AUSTPAC NUI's a hard to get, so why not have some dumb secretary give one to you. Firs of all find a victim. The Melbourne University Library is a good one. Next get a few facts together. Ask yourself a few questions. Who am I? 'An Assistant Austpac Operator' Pick a real name from the phone book, jot down the number, address and have it ready if needed. Why Should the Victim give you his Accounts? 'Basically, because there has been a stuff up with Austpac and the last six digits have been lost and you need them to identify the user' just talk about some technical bullshit about the structure of NUI's, how the billing computer stuffed up and how your arse is going to get kicked. Its a good idea to ask the person to come down to the main office. (you know all the details, and so you must). Then suggest the possibility of fixing it all up over the phone. If it's a jerk, you'll get it on the spot, if not, give him a number to call back. Ie a PHONE BOX around the corner. And that's all there is to it. You will be surprised how co-operative people are. The same principal can also be used in few other situations. There is no reason why a system operator can't change the password of another user for you. This was basically my introduction to the art of SOCIAL ENGINEERING and this is what took place: I hacked a Dialcom System 41, which me and a lot of YANKS were using to call ALTOS and other systems. Unfortunatelly, it died for reasons I am still emebarrased about. This is what we did. I knew that the real user wasn't on the account all that often, so she would have not yet known about the death of her account. Fortunatelly, we had a hard copy of the user list in her UFD series and of her mail. (I THINK THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF RECORDING EVERY BIT OF DATA YOU GET FROM A SYSTEM. IT'S ALWAYS USEFULL AT SOME STAGE IN THE FUTURE. IF ONE IS FORTUNATE TO HAVE A HARD DISK, SIMPLY SAVE ABSOLUTELLY EVERYTHING YOU DO ONLINE, BUT TAKE SOME PRECAUTIONS FOR OBVIOUS REASONS) The first step was to find her details. Ie Address, Phone number, and Christian NAME. We rang up the operator to give us a listing of all AUGUSTINES in the aproximate area as deduced from the mail. There were only a few so we went through them. No luck, she had an unlisted number. Ok, so we called a CNA (CNA is like a information directory, but used by the phone companies emploees only. CNA = Customer Number/Address I think. Unfortunatelly I never came across an Australian CNA, but you can bet they're out there), but the number had been changed, so we rang up a friend who was mentioned in the mail. MRS M.AUGUSTINE worked for NASA so TRADER introduced himself as some important figure in the NASA organization and we got all the details we wanted. All we had to do then is ring up DIALCOM and get them to change the password. We said that the wife was in GERMANY using DATEX-P and that she can't get onto her account, where some important mail was waiting for her. Naturally the password was changed on the spot and no information of any sort was requested. 4> Trojan Horses are another way of getting passwords. It basically involves the simulation of another system login and setting up a few users to take the bait. Ie, Stick your computer onto a phone box at a time a person is likely to call, give that person the number. Ie it has been changed or it's a different system with faster responces thus saving online time etc. Then have your computer to simulate the real login and that's all there is to it. This is a very primitive trojan and I will talk more about them later on and tell you how to set up a few of them on DIALCOM systems. A Most Important thing is to make sure that once you get into a system, you are there to stay, or the effort would have been more or less waisted. Always get all the information you can. Mail, Usernames and any information on the other users. Basically anything the system has to offer, no matter how insignificant it may Seem at the time. DEFFAUL PASSWORDS, VAX, UNIX, PRIMENET, DIALCOM ------------------------------------------------ There is a large variety of systems, but a lot of them have got common accounts. It is always a good idea to try hacking usernames such as TEST, DEMO, GUEST, VISITOR etc, using the most basic and easilly remembered passwords you can think off. Deffault accounts are very usefull indeed and here is a basic rundown of a few major systems: VAX ---- When you encounter a VAX, trying the following may prove quite successfull. USER/USER, GUEST/GUEST, GAST/GAST (if in europe), FIELD/SERVICE, FIELD/TEST, SYSTEM/MANAGER, SYSTEM/OPERATOR, SYSTEM/SYSTEM, SYSTEST/TEST, SYSTEST/SYSTEST SYSTEST/UETP. Also try them in lower as well as upper case, if the system does not translate lower to upper case. If you are lucky enough to get an account with full privs, namelly SYSTEM/MANAGER, or FIELD/SERVICE, look at some of the user names, ie SHOW USERS command, and create your own username of a simmilar format so that it blends in with the backround. To do that, run the ADDUSER or AUTHORISE program in the SYS$SYSTEM directory, I don't think I need to go into any more detail since there are literally hundereds of good files on VAX systems. If you come accross a captive account, ie you are not allowed direct access into DCL (Digital Command Language), typing /NOCOMM can prevent the execution of certain login files which may prevent you from accessing DCL or lower your access level. Example Login: Username: USER/NOCOMM Password: USER $ There is one other important thing about VAX's that is not mentioned in any VAX tutorials I have seen. Some systems are equiped with a X29 gateway or PSIPAD as they refer to it. It's basically what the name suggest, a gateway to PACKET SWITCHED NETWORKS. To activate it, type: $ SET HOST/X29 And the system should respond with 'Node:' You will then find out if the PSIPAD is installed and whether you have the privs to make use of it. END END
