       Mastercall director
       -------------------
       by Talisman/ACU
       ---------------


      Mastercall directors are now being commonly installed around Australia by 
    Telecom, So what do they do and what good are they to me?

    Principle of operation
    ----------------------
     The TELECOM DIRECTOR Call diverter enables an incoming call (from A-PARTY)
    to a customer's number (B-PARTY) to be diverted to another number (C-PARTY)
    When ring current is detected on the B-PARTY line, The unit loops the 
    second line, dials out the diversion number in memory, and connects the
    two parties when the call is answered.

    The caller is not aware of any transfer, and at the completion of the call 
    the director detects busy tone. dial tone or silence to automatically disconect 
    within seconds.

    Lets phreak ! 
    --------------
      Directors can be used for most of the activites that are done on loops
    in the states. eg. You may wish someone to call you but do not want them to
    know your home number so simple tell them to call you at a certain time
    and give them the number of the director. About five minute before they 
    are due to call reprogram the director to divert the call to you. 
    Maybe you wish to hack something or make a malicous call and you are scared
    that you may be traced so program the director to divert you to there number
    then simply ring the main number. Try programming the director to divert
    calls to you then have your contact's call a operator and ask to see if
    you will except reverse charges,when the operator calls the director 
    she/he/it won't be aware of the transfer and then you simply except the 
    reverse charges which are really billed to the director..

    * All ways make sure whoever you call will deny all knowledge of the call *

  Now some ideas on how to Find & Hack them.
   
    1. Have contacts in Telecom.
    2. Find them by accident if you do find one by accident chances are 
       you will have found the 2nd line (The one that asks for pin)

       Now what how do i find the main number to call and the pin ?
   Well i have noticed one thing that is when Telecom sets the director up they
   usually have a standard way programing the pin,but this seems to vary from
   area to area one common way is programming the pin seems to be the last 3
   digits of the diversion number..
              eg. 123-4567 maybe the diversion number so when it asks for
   the pin the first thing i try is "567".
    Director numbers are not free to call so its not really advisable to 
   make 999 calls in a attempt to get the pin!

       Once your past the pin number and your now after the main number there
       are three ways that i use ..

       1. Type the Pin and press "#" write down the number your diverted to
          and call it, Then simply engage in some "Social Engineering" and
          try to find the main number. Or pretend to be a telecom tech.
       2. More "Social Engineering" if you know the number for the exchange 
          that the diversion number is connected to call them say your
          a Tech trying to fix a fault on this line and you would like to know
          the main number of the director. (Called 1st leg by telecom)
       3. Just reprogram the director to call you and then wait for a call
          and ask them what number they were calling.

       Remember when ever you change the diversion number that person will also
       get calls for who ever owns the director so its a good idea to only do
       this late at night.  

       Some facts about Director
       -------------------------
	- Will terminate calls lasting longer than 30 minutes and will send 
          a warning tone to the C-PARTY, 30 seconds before.
        - May be programmed to send an indentification tone to the called 
          party to indicate a diverted call, the caller does not hear this tone.
        - May be programmed to prevent the A-PARTY from hearing the STD pips
        - It only rembers the current diversion number as soon as you change it 
          all record of were it used to divert to is lost.
        - It is usually installed in the exchange but maybe installed anywhere.
	- It stores a record of how many calls have been diverted.
        - It may be programed by a number pad on the director console
        - If two diversion numbers are programmed the diverter will try the
          two numbers alternately until the call is answered
        - Maximum of 16 digits in the diversion number
