The Myth of the 2600Hz Detector ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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 recordes any 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.
