- [ Formatted for 80 column viewing... ]
- ----------------------------------------
-
- For the most part A.D.S. (Audio Distribution Systems) are owned and
- maintained by IBM. The systems themselves are usually "Fringe Benefits" to
- company employees who (as is usually the case) have never bothered to use the
- ADS capabilities, as using it requires some basic intelligence and the skill to
- push buttons in a pre-arranged order. [Abilities most IBM employees are sadly
- lacking in...] As a result password hacking is a joke.
-
- [-] -A.D.S. Syntax:- [-]
-
- When Asked to "key-press" entries on ADS, you push the keys on your phone that
- correspond to the letters you want. ie: To listen to a message ADS will prompt
- that you "push star l" meaning you push the asterisk "*", followed by the "5"
- key which corresponds to the letters "J,K,L".
-
- [-] Standard Default [-]
- Menu:
-
- If the company using the ADS is one other than IBM The standard defaults may
- have been changed. The changes are really not pertinant to system operation as
- it shouldn't take more then a minute or two of hitting key's to discover what
- the defaults have been changed to.
-
- Typical defaults:
- [#] - Help key, depressing it will give you detailed
- (sometimes not so detailed) help on a function.
- It depends largely on which "sub-menu" you are
- currently on.
-
- [NOTE:] For those of you on Mci, don't panic, you need to push it only for a
- fraction of a second for it to register. This is not enough time delay
- to have Mci recognize The pound sign "#" as a valid "disconnect
- command."
-
- [*] - Abort key, depressing the asterisk will abort the
- function currently taking place with an audible "OK"
- when recognized. It also returns you to the main
- menu level.
-
- [4-9] - At the main menu the keys 4-9 when not used in
- conjunction with another command (such as the "* G",
- "* L", "* R" commands) will usually respond with
- "Invalid key".
-
- [3] - At the main menu "3" is the disconnect key. When
- pushed ADS will respond with "Do you want to hang
- up? Push 1-yes, or 2-no".
-
- [2] - Customize key. At the main menu pushing the "2" key
- allows you to customize your accnt. for new defaults
- such as: Slow/Med/Fast msg. playback, Your "status"
- (home, at office, on vacation, etc) your secretary's
- (assuming you have one) status, your familys status,
- and your, your family's, secretary's and guests
- passwords. Normal default for guest PW is: IBM (How
- innovative). For obvious reasons it is strongly
- recommended that you change your PW once you
- "acquire" your accnt.
- [More on this in a later section...]
-
- [1] - Is usually set for "Old msg. playback" ie: msg.'s
- that you have allready received but want to retain
- as "Old messages" (The default time period for
- holding a old msg. is 1 week, this period can be
- extended to as much as 2 months on some systems. You
- customize it to whatever you want) Keep in mind that
- different systems allocate different amounts of
- storage to each user.
-
- Typical commands:
- ----------------
-
- * L - Listen to your messages
-
- * R - Record a message
-
- * G - Get another message
-
- * S - Send a message
-
- After some commands you will be prompted with a sub-menu ie:
-
- *R Push 1-record new message 2-insert at: 3-add to message
-
- *S push 1-send to single user 2-send to multiple users.
-
- etc...
-
-
- [-] Password Hacking [-]
-
- When you first call the ADS you will be greeted with the systems "hello".
- Usually something like: "Welcome to [whatever branch] IBM ADS. Please key- pres
- subscribers last name first, until recognized:" At this point it might be
- helpful to open a telephone book and just go from a-z using the more average
- names. I have yet to find a ADS without at least several "Smith's" being in the
- "userlog". Assuming the system recognized the last name as a valid one it will
- now do one of two things depending on whether there is more then one person on
- the system with the same last name. If for example there are 3 "Smith's" on the
- system it will then ask: "select 1- John Smith, select 2- Mark Smith, select 3-
- George Smith" If there is only one person on the system with that particular
- last name ADS will prompt: "Please key-press your password". If there were
- multiple persons on the system with the same last name, after you have selected
- who you want it will give you the same: "Please key-press your password" prompt
- as in the previous example.
-
- Default passwords:
- -----------------
- If the person to whom the password was assigned to is either:
-
- [1] Not using the accnt.
- [2] Dense (a very large proportion fit into this category)
-
- then the pw will be set (in the case of 1) to the systems defaults, usually a
- 3-6 digit pw that repeats the same # several times. ie: Assuming the system
- defaults to 6 character pw's the pw could be:
-
- 000000
- 111111
- 222222
- etc.
- 999999
-
- Or in the case of 2, it will very likely be the persons first/or last name
- (Great idea eh..?, that way they'll never forget it (if they're lucky) there is
- also the added advantage that if this persons PW suddenly vanishes they are not
- very likely to report it missing, very often they will just assume that it
- doesn't work because of their own stupidity, after all the computer is never
- wrong) So for example if the persons name was: Martha Technophobe, and the
- maximum length of pw's allowed was 6 chars. the pw could be:
-
- MARTHA
-
- or
-
- TECHNO
-
- A large number of computer "semi-literate" people, will do it in this way.
-
- [ Guidelines. ]
- ----------------
-
- [1] When you enter an accnt. change NOTHING at the beginning, if you discover
- that you have captured a secretary accnt. Leave everything alone and leave.
- Secretary's have no privilege, and their superior's tend to become suspicious
- when they can no longer reach them. Also your (the secretary's) superior can
- change the password at will from his (or her) accnt.
-
- [2] When you have found an accnt that suits you, go immediately to [2]-
- customize and change the PW. Also be sure to leave your "Status" as well as
- your "Familiy's, and Secretary's" at the system default of: "Not Defined"
-
- [3] When people leave you messages, be sure they contain no information that
- could be in any way "damaging" to you. Because if your accnt. is discovered and
- subsequently closed down the operators of the system will have any msg.'s that
- were meant for you.
-
- [4] When sending a message to someone else who has also captured an accnt. on
- the system, be sure to send it to the right accnt. #, so some fool in marketing
- doesn't recieve "Here's the latest codes to that system you wanted" when you
- punched in his accnt. by accident.
-
- [5] Be aware that be people who have not hacked their own accounts on the ADS
- you are currently on can still leave you messages on a "Guest PW". When they
- want to do so they simply type in your last name (the accnt.'s last name) when
- they connect to the ADS then when prompted for: "Please key-press your PW" they
- just use the "Guest PW" which is at default usually IBM, but you of course can
- change it to whatever you want. ie: your Guest PW could be re-defined to be:
- "Phreak" not a particularly advisable one, but valid.
-
- [6] Try to find your own ADS system through scanning of phone #s several digits
- from that of a IBM (or other) Company that might use an ADS. When a system is
- new and un-discovered, it is much easier to hack it then when the company knows
- that their computer is infested with hackers. As an addendum we will list the #
- for ADS a dial-up. This is just so that you can get the general idea of what a
- ADS is like. Since the ADS that will follow have been known to us and many
- others for several months, and since many idiots have since descended upon it
- since then, the system will be nigh impossible to hack (at least not worth the
- trouble, when there are much easier systems available that are not closely
- watched). If we listed any good ADS that has been just recently discovered it
- would be wasted in a very short time period.
