HACKING WESTERN UNION'S EASYLINK
--------------------------------
By BIOC Agent 003 & Tuc TucBBS
Uploaded by Elric of Imrryr
Easylink is a system that allows you to send
Telex, Telex II (TWX), mailgrams, telegrams,
cablegrams, and a few others.
First, either dial the local # or (800)
325-4112 (for 300 baud). It will respond with
EASYLINK, followed by ID? At this point, you
should enter the code, which is in the format of:
01 ESL###### USERNAME.PASSWORD
Where:
01 - says your are using full duplex
ESL - says your are using Easylink
###### - a 6 digit account code
USERNAME.PASSWORD - just that
Once on, it will respond with a connection #,
the date, and time. You will then see PTS, which
stands for Proceed To Select. You can then type
"/HELP" to see what you can do with the system.
If you want to send a Telex, type the telex #
followed by a plus(+). It will then respond with
GA which stands for Go Ahead.
Now type in the text. To send the text and
stay on Easylink type lLLL; to send it and log off
type MMMM. To abort the message, type EEEE. It
will then say either "ACCEPTED" followed by a # or
"MESSAGE DISCARDED."
If you want to send a mailgram, type:
/ZIP
WHO TO
ADDRESS 1
ADDRESS 2 (optional)
CITY ST ZIP+
Make sure that the zip is followed by a plus
(+). At the GA, type in the message and terminate
it with LLLL. With mailgrams the return address
belongs to whoever owns the account. More on
changing this info in part II, or if you penetrate
the system before then, write to us c/o TAP.
For info on sending telegrams, editing, etc.,
type "/HELP" after any PTS prompt and it will give
you a rundown.
If you just want to check out the system and
practice, log in using: 01 USR999999 TEST.TEST
This is their demo password. It no longer allows
you to send actual letters, though.
Another WU system that uses the same password
format is FYI (For Your Information). It is at
(800) 325-NEWS (6397) and it carries UPI news and
other "goodies." Once on type CATALOG or UPIINDEX
for help. Unfortunately, the demo password no
longer works on this system.
