- VMB Hacking
- -----------
-
- Written By: The Knight

-
- Ok, Here's the deal. VMB Hacking Is not a HUGE deal and there really isn't
- a great deal of 'hidden info' that isn't common sense. But, If you are out
- there trying to hack a box and can't, follow through the VERY logical and
- simple steps and make sure they are matching up.
-
-
- Step 1:
-
- Finding a VMB System
-
- There are many ways you can find a VMB system, for instance, on a BBS when
- someone says 'Here are some systems' usually thats what they're referring
- to. Also, Try setting up your scanner and listening for 'Welcome to XX
- company, Enter extension #' or something similar to that. Then you have
- found a VMB system.
-
-
- Step 2:
-
- Finding a Box
-
- This is the part where most IDIOTS fuck up. You can NOT just take ANY box.
- You must make sure that no one is using it. There are several ways to do
- this. One EASY way is when you hack it, check the date on the latest
- messages, if they are OVER a month old, then I'd say your safe to use them.
- Also, watch in case there is just like _2_ messages in there from the last
- 4 months that those messages could be messages sent to ALL the boxes, see if
- they sound personal. If they DON'T, then grab the box.
-
- Let's say there's a box you REALLY want bad and someone's using it regularly,
- try doing this: Go in twice a day (make SURE you DON'T change the greeting
- etc.) and erase all the messages. He will complain and will eventually move
- out of the box. Then there is a good chance of you having that box. It's
- happned to me.
-
-
- Step 3:
-
- Hacking the VMB
-
- This is the most SIMPLE part of all. MY general method is as follows:
-
- Find a box, let's say box 260. It's empty and I want it (obviously).
- First, try passcode '000', if that doesn't work, try passcode '260',
- just make very general guesses that's ALL. Some of the MOST Common passcodes
- are:
-
- 3 digit boxes:
- 000
- 123
- 111
- 222
- 333
- 444
- 555
- 666
- 777
- 888
- 999
- box # (say it's box 260, passcode: 260)
- 321
-
- 4 digit boxes:
-
- 1234
- 0000
- 1111
- 2222
- 3333
- 4444
- 5555
- 6666
- 7777
- 8888
- 9999
- box # (Say its box 1200, try passcode: 1200)
-
-
- The Key: REALLY try ALL of those. I knew one system with a passcode of
- '5555' and NO ONE could hack it. And I did. So don't give up.
- UNLESS you've exhausted all of those possibilities. Then forget
- it.
-
- That's it really. The most simple thing to do. Just remember not to
- give up before you should and also try 3 digit passcodes on 4 digit
- boxes. Also, once you get in for added security, a lot of these boxes
- allow more digits for passcodes, so make a 5 digit passcode. Or if you
- thing its worth it, try like '00000' so that's really about all.
-
- Have fun and don't stop.
