Section I - Introduction
=----------------------=
The purpose of these files is for the technological knowledge of phreak-
ing, hacking, anarchy, programming, etc. to be informed. I shall not remain
responsible for the actions took by the readers of these files. If you wish
to submit an entry or have a request, contact either me or Ditto on one of
the boards we are located on. I have decided to try to have some spec- ific
Commodore information in these upcoming files.

Section II - History
=------------------=
Well I will briefly go through what has happened and what is happening. A
long time ago somebody named Alexander Graham Bell invented a device called
the telephone. To use this you needed to go through some kind of switchboard
or other kind of contraption to get connected. Many people think it
magically knows who to call. Wrong, it gets the prefix which points to a
general area and the suffix shows specificly where to go. I won't go too
much further on this topic.
Well, anyways all systems were an yucky type of system known as step by
step. Next came crossbar which is the best for all phreakers and now
everything is switching to Electronic Switching Systems or ESS. ESS is a
phreakers nightmare. ESS will let them know if you use any foreign tones
(eg. 2600 hz.), it will inform them of repeated dialing, it will show a
frequent number of dialups to a LD Service (MCI, SPRINT, etc.), and many
other horrible things.
There are many variable phreaking acts. Most phreaking is telephone fraud.
People can make boxes, or illegally used devices to aid in the art of
phreaking. There are many, many boxes. One can also trash, or find a
dumpster near BELL so one can get valuable info. Most people think that all
phreaking is is calling up a long distance service and making phone calls
for free by randomly guessing access numbers. They are wrong.
Section III - Phoneman Auto-Mode
=------------------------------=
Have you ever called a number and all it says is Hit Return then asks for a
password? It might have been a Phone- man Automode. There are a few back-
doors in these automodes. If you know the specific Phoneman that it is then
it will be easier. On Phoneman 3.1 (OLD!) you type, "ELIAFAH" and you're in.
On the newer Phoneman's you type, "PCITGDEC" and you're in. To delete his
disk and also break his drive, type "TQBFJOTLD" then return and then
"MCREG#0" then return and then "ELIAFAH" then return. To take these out of
your Phoneman, use disk doctor and find the strings and then replace them
with 00 otherwise shown as, "@". Thanks to Time Traveler for the info.
Section IV - Mach 5 Extras
=------------------------=
This isn't much, but I'll say it anyways. Typing the pound sign (the key in
between) "-" and "Clr/Home" and return will type run for you. Thanks for the
info Ditto. Also, when you find out the disable commands don't fully disable
it, the best thing to do to disable MACH 5 is SYS64738.
Section V - C-Net
=---------------=
C-Net BBS's are usually very simple to crash, since every version of C-Net
has at least two or three bugs in it. In this file I will show some ways on
how to crash a C-Net BBS.
CRASH #1 - For C-Net 10
--------
When logging on as a new user and filling out the new user application, when
it asks for your handle type anything but be sure to put a CTRL-L somewhere
in the name. Example: CRASH (CTRL-L) ASSHOLE. When you type the CTRL-L it
should clear the screen (If it doesn't, then this means that the SysOp has
taken out that bug...Too Bad..) Then preceed on with the rest of the new
user application. When log- on procedures are all done and you get to the
main menu, the system will go into chat mode, then all you have to do is
hang up and the board is crashed. If you tried the (CTRL-L) in the handle
part, it cleared the screen, but didn't crash, try the same thing, but type
CRASH (CTRL-L) ASSHOLE as your real name.
CRASH #2
--------
The MCI Command \j0. This when exe- cuted (Unless AGAIN if taken out) Will
crash the system. Also \d0 will crash it.
CRASH #3
--------
Leave (F)eedback in the P or G files section, this too will crash the
system. If the sysop took out the F option then type C and if the SysOp is
not around it will say: The SysOp is not available right now, enter "Y" to
leave feedback. Now if the SysOp has any brain whatsoever he would have
taken out BOTH the C and F commands.
CRASH #4
--------
Now this one is a little tricky to do, but is effective on most C-Nets. This
is what you do...Go into the Editor Subsystem (Either through posting a
message or leaving feedback--doesn't matter) and hit return till you have no
more lines left and it says: >> Enter .S to Save Or .H for Help you then DO
NOTHING until your IDLE time to run out. Now your IDLE time is the amount of
time that you have to sit around and do nothing. Example: If you don't type
anything for your IDLE time (Lets say its 2 min--Thats the usual) then the
system will hang up on you. Now what you do is WAIT for your IDLE time to
run out and once it has the system will keep on hitting return by itself,
you then just hang up.
CRASH #5
--------
Find a place where no matter how many times you hit return, it still won't
return you to the main menu. Just sit there until your IDLE time runs out
(EXPLAINED ABOVE) and luckily if there is no time check, it will sit there
hitting return forever. The On-line games is a good place to test this. It
will also work if there is a log-off mod saying: (A)bort Logoff (L)ast
Chance Chat (F)eedback (O)ff O: Something similar to this description.
CRASH #6
--------
This can be a crash, but is sometimes usually like a backdoor. If you are
SubOp of any U/D's then you are in luck. Go into the U/D Section that you
are SubOp of then go into another section and you'll be SubOp of that.
Also, try going into your section that your SubOp of and change the board
name to "name/e" and it will be multi- transfer and you'll be able to kill
or download anything on that drive. If you can't change the board name, but
you can SubOp other boards, then if there is any multi-transfer boards
available to you, then just go on that.
C-Net SysOp Commands
--------------------
If you are ever so fortunate to attain SysOp access (Level 9) on a C-Net
system (Either through a back door or stupidity of the sysop) then here are
some PHUN things that you can do: type SM (This is Sysop Maintenance) at the
main menu. Now some sysops are smart and they make you enter a password to
get into it. If this is the case then the only other way you can get into
the SM is by typing PM at the main menu for P-File Maintenance. You then
press A for ADD, It should then say: Title: Put: maint Source: Put anything
Access: put 1023 then wait a while and it'll show you all the files in the
p-file menu, then just select the apropriate # for the maint.
Once in the SM you can do MANY things,
such as:
ID - Change NAME/ACCESS of ANY User
WR - Edit ANY seq. file
Here are the C-Net Seq. files:
etc.recs (Feedback)
sys.config (What you see when you
press I at main menu.)
sys.end (Goodbye message)
sys.inst (Help file)
sys.new user (New user msg.)
sys.start (1st thing U C when you
logon)
sys.welcome (Welcome message after
you enter your ID & PW.)
On with the commands:
L - List of calls
MC - Send FORCE mail to a user
F - Read FEEDBACK
R - Read any seq file
D - Directory
