~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just about everyone I talk to these days about ESS seems to be scared witless about the 2600Hz detector. I don't know who thought this one up, but it simply does not exist. So many of you people whine about this so-called phreak catching device for no reason. Someone with AT&T said they had it to catch phrea-kers. This was just to scare the Blue-Boxers enough to make them quit boxing free calls.
I'm not saying ESS is without its hang-ups, either. One thing that ESS can detect readily is the kick-back that the trunk circuitry sends back to the ESS machine when your little 2600Hz tone resets the toll trunk. After an ESS detects a kick-back it turns an M-F detector on and recordesany M-F tones X-mitted.
---------------------------------------DEFEATING THE KICK-BACK DETECTOR
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As mentioned in my previous
note, kick-back detection can be a
serious nuisance to anyone interested
in gaining control of a trunk line.
The easiest way to by-pass this
detection circuitry is not really by-passing
it at all, it is just letting the
kick-back get detected on some other line.
This other line is your local
MCI, SPRINT, or other long distance
carrier (except AT&T). The only
catch is that the service you use
must not disconnect the line when
you hit the 2600Hz tone.
This is how you do it: Call
up your local extender, put in the
code, and dial a number in the 601
area code and the 644 exchange.
Lots of other exchanges work across
the country, I'm sure, but this is
the only one that I have found so
far. Anyway, when it starts ringing,
simply hit 2600Hz and you'll hear the
kick-back, (ka-chirp, or whatever).
Then you are ready to dial whoever
you want (conferences, inward, route
and rate, overseas, etc.) from the
trunk line in operator tones!
Since blowing 2600Hz doesn't make you
you a phreaker until the toll equip-
ment resets the line, kickback
detection is the method AT&T chooses
(for now).
This information comes as a
result of my experiments & experience
and has been verified by local AT&T
employees I have as acquaintances.
They could only say that this is
true for my area, but were pretty
sure that the same idea is imple-
mented across the country.
=======================================
Now that you know how to access a trunk
line or as operators say a loop, I will
tell you the many things you can do
with it.
Here is a list of AT&T services acces-
sible to you by using a Blue Box.
A/C+101 Toll Switching
A/C+121 Inward operator
A/C+131 Information
A/C+141 Route & Rate op.
A/C+11501 Mobile operator
A/C+11521 Mobile operator
Starting Conferances:
---------------------
This is one the most useful attributes
of blue boxing. Now the confs. are up
24 hours/day and 7 days/week and the
billing lines are being billed.
Since I beleive the above is true
(about the billing lines being billed)
I would recommend that you never let
your # show up on the conf. if you
started it, put it on a loop and then
call the loop. ENOUGH BULLSHIT!!!!!
To start the conf. dial one of these
three numbers in M-F while you are on
the trunk.
213+080+XXXX
XXXX=1050,3050
special XXXX=1000,1100,1200,1500,2200,
2500.
These #s are in L.A. and are the
most watched, I do not advise using
this NPA.
312+001+1050 or 3050
914+042+1050 or 1100,1200 ect..
***************************************
UPDATE, I BELEIVE ONLY 914 WORKS AT THE
MOMENT
***************************************
Once connected with one of these you
will either hear a re-order, busy, or
cherp. When you hear the cherp enter
the billing line in M-F. I use the
conf. dial- up.
A billing line example:
kp312+001+1050st
You will then hear two tutes and a re-
cording asking you for the # of confer-
rees including yourself. Enter a #
between 20 and 30. If you ever get over
30 people on a conferance all you will
hear is jumbled voices. After the it
says "Your conferance size is XX" then
hit # sign. Add Your favorite loop on
and hit 6 to transfer control to it.
After it says control will be transfer-
ed hang up and call the other side of
the loop, hit #sign and follow the in-
structions. A bonus for conf. is to add
an international # dial 1+011+CC+NUMBER
pretty cool ehhh.
A few extra notes.
Do not add #s that you will want to
hang up, add these through MCI or
Sprint.
You cannot blow anyone off w/2600hz
unless they are in an old X-bar or
older system.
Many D.A. operators will stay on
after you abuse them; you may have
to start another or at least don't
say any numbers.
Never add the tone side of a loop
onto a conf.
Never add more than one MCI node on
your conf.
Route & Rate:
-------------
Note Route & Rate and RQS perform the
same service.
R&R simply tells you route and rate info which is very valuble, ex.
such as the inward routing for an ex-
change in an area code. An inward
routing will let you call her and she
can do an emergency interupt for you.
She can tell you how to get interna-
tional operators, ect.
Here are the terms you are required to
use:
International,
-operator route
for [country, city].
*Gives you inward op.
-directory route
for [country, city].
*Gives you Directory Ass.
-city route
for [country, city].
*Gives you country and city
code.
Operator route for [A/C]+
[EXCHANGE]
*Gives you inward op. route
ex. [A/C]+ or [A/C]+0XX+
when she says plus she means
plus 121.
Numbers route for [state, city]
*Gives you A/C.
Place name [A/C]+[EXCHANGE]
*Gives you city/state for that
A/C and exchange.
International calls:
--------------------
To call international over cable simply
access a trunk and dial kp011XXXst
wait for sender tone, kpXXXCC-NUMBERst
XXX - A 3 digit country code, it may
not be 3 digits so just put 1 or 2 0's
in front of it.
CC - is the city code
To go by satellite:
dial kp18Xst X - numbers 2-8
wait for sender tone then
kpXXXCCNUMBERst
---------------------------------------
Fedex will put out a file on RQS soon.
