What are bad passwords? Why does UNIX system V require 6 character passwords with funny characters? How long would it take to break ANY 6 character password. In 1981, Rober Morris and Ken Thompson wrote up their findings about passwords. The document is called "Password Security - A Case History" and is present in the documentation for some versions of UNIX. They did a survey of various systems ands found that out of 3,289 passwords 15 were a single character, 72 were 2 characters long, 464 were 3 chars, 477 where 4 alphanumeric, 706 were 5 letters, 605 were 6 letters, all lower case and 492 appeared in various dictionaries. 86% of the passwords were thus easily breakable if you have a password hacker and access to the password file. This is why UNIX V requires a minimum 6 characters some of which must not be letters. The article also said that some "good" things to try are dictionary entries with the words spelled backwards, list of first names, last names, street names, city names, (try with an inital upper case letter as well), valid license plate numbers in your state, room numbers, telephone numbers and the like. Some others have suggested that people use woman's names (with a trailing digit), their logins repeated or massaged (login abc, password abcabc, cbacba), anything in the "GECOS" (comment) field of the password file and anything significant that you know about the person (their kid's name). But what about trying every possible password? How long would it take? The article had some numbers based on a PDP 11/70. It showed that 6 character passwords were too hard to break by exhaustive search if someone was forced to use more than just letters and numbers. Using all 95 printable characters, it would take a PDP 11/70 about 33 years to try all of them. BUT TIMES ARE CHANGING. One fine weekend I tried the same experiement with a modern 25MHz computer. From 33 years its down to 6 months. If you have access to a mainframe or cray, it could be a matter of days or weeks to break a password. Of course, this is not something that would go unnoticed. Using up all the resources of a CRAY would show up but over a long weekend, who knows? If people are paying attention to the system activity (sar) they will notice that you've used up all the system resources and start asking potentially embarresing questions. If you have a bunch of friends to help and divide up the job, it could be a lot faster. Naturally though, it has to be worth your time and effort. Someone running Xenix or MINIX on a PC is hardly worth the effort. And if the person was using 7 or 8 character passwords it would take just too long. If you examine the password encryptation method that UNIX uses, you will notice that a 'salt' is used. This can have 4K (4,096 for the uninitiated) values so generating every possible password IN ADVANCE would take 4K times whatever the time required so its not worth the attempt either. How long will the 'door' be open? This fact that people are getting better and better at guessing passwords in not lost on all concerned. AT&T has put something called "password shadowing" in their latest release (V.3.2). Basically what they did is to make the password file unreadable by anyone but root. This stops people from taking the password file to another machine and working on it at leasure. SUN and IBM are doing similar things (hang around USENIX/Uniforum when the shows come to your town to see what they are up to). Well, what is this all leading up to? Are people going to give up their hobby? Just between you and me, I kind of doubt it. Password 'shadowing' is optional, after all. People will still choose bad passwords or even no passwords. Many people will not load the lastest operating systems. On the other hand, its not only UNIX systems that people choose bad passwords for. I assume that I could break many hackers and phreaks passwords on various boards but that would be unfriendly and get me into trouble, so I won't try :-) (for the novice, this is a smiley face and means that I'm joking :-( is a frown). Those out there who are sysops might want to see what people choose for passwords since I assume we're almost as lazy as other people. Me, I don't use anything that you could guess except on one board that had trouble with a special characters! Writing a password cracker: On UNIX, at least, this is simple assuming you have access to the 'domestic' version. The 'international' version has the crypt function deleted. I don't know why they bothered since all the KGB has to do is visit any one of 10,000 sites with UNIX source code but I guess the government likes to play "lets pretend". By the way, in case you are waiting for a nice cheap FAST DES chip to come out, the UNIX people did not exactly use DES. They diddled it a bit to stop hardware from making the job too fast. I assume that the principles I've talked about here apply to other operating systems. Some are a LOT easier. The earlier versions of the Pick operating system did not even encrypt the passwords. All you had to do was to 'dump' the right 'frame' of disk to see them! I think that some of the mainframe packages such as RACF or ACF2 don't encrypt but I'm not 100% sure. A final thought: one thing to look for in general are assumptions made a number of years ago that people have not reexamined. Exhaustive searches of 6 character passwords is just one example. I'm sure there are others. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- = Phile 1.3 of 1.14 ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER SYSTEMS --------------------------------- WRITTEN BY: THE LINE BREAKER & CODE CRACKER As a respond from The Master Hacker we have written this g-phile for those of you are either new or have no knowledge of carding. This is a 5-part g-phile covering all areas of using a credit card for carding. Part 1 is mainly a explaintion of how credit cards go through clearing houses and to the customers statement. ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER SYSTEMS ---------------------------------> EFTS can broadly be described as computer data collection and relecommunication techniques that electronically transport information about the movement of funds between accounts managed by financial institutions. THE IMPETUS FOR EFT SERVICES ----------------------------> With the adoption of the MICR (Magnetic Ink Character recognition) stand in I Think about 1959, the banking industry took the first step toward facilitating computerized handling of the growing number of checks used in America. By the 70's paper check processing had reached a level where more than 37 billion individual pieces of paper moved through the banking system annually. In 1983 at the present rate of growth, it was anticipated that this number would reach 55 billion. Two general approaches are being follwoed in an effort to reduce the burden of check processing: the elimination of or supplant of check transactions by electronic messages and the reduction of the physical transport of paper. REPLACEMENT OF CHECK TRANSACTIONS BY ELECTRONIC MESSAGES --------------------------------------------------------> Examples are the installation of automated teller machines (ATMs) by financial institutions to provide on-line computerized banking services, the development of automated clearinghouse services (such as checkless payroll deposits) and telephone bill-paying services which allow customers to enter bill paying information directly in electronic form to a bank's computer through Touchtone telephones. Automated teller machines are unattended computer terminal-type devices that offer most of the services avaiable from a teller. They are actived by a customer through the combined use of a plastic card with a magnetic strip bearing machine readable account information, and a special secret number known only by the customer (termed a PIN or personal Identification number). Among the services offered through these machines are cash withdrawls, transfers of funds between accounts, and account balance inquiry. Although early development of these machines was restricted to providing off-line cash despensing, almost all new ATM installations are on-line to the financial institution's account database. Automated clearinghouses (ACHs) are regional computer centers fun for the most part by the federal reserve system and concentrating thier activities on the processing of pre-authorized electronic deposits or withdrawls from checking accounts maintained by financial institutions. Typical volume in the early 80's was over 11 million electronic items per month submitted to the ACHs primarily on magnetic tape for sorting and redistribution. The predominant types of electronic items processed by the 32 ACHs were military payroll and social security electronic deposits. Other types of transactions include withdrawl of funds to pay bills pre-authorized by the customer for payment. Electronic deposits or withdrawls destined for a F.I. not served by a specific regional ACH are transmitted via telecommunications links to the appropriate regional ACH for local redistribution. Bill paying by telephone is another popular EFT service designed to elimate paper check mailing and processing. In its most basic form, the service involves customer-direct input by a touchtone telephone to a computer of the data necessaty to generate electronic withdrawls from a account maintained by the cusotmer and an electronic deposit to an account maintained by the billing company. Deposits destined for a company that does not maintain an account with the customer's bank can be routed through the local ACH for delivery to an appropriate bank. REDUCTION OF PAPER FLOW -----------------------> Truncation of the physical transport of paper bearing instructions for the movement of funds between accounts is another EFT application. For example, efforts to truncate the flow of checks through the use of image processing techniques are under development. The thrust of this effort is to create electronic images of checks at the point of first deposit and to transmit only these images to the customer or customers's bank. The national credit card clearing and settlement system are other examples of such truncation systems. When a customer uses Visa or Mastercard to make a purchase, he or she normally is not dealing with a merchant who has an account with the financial institution that has issued the card. As a result, the evidence of the completed sale in the past was physically forwarded to the merchant's contracting bank for credit to the merchant's account and then on to the card-issuing banl for posting to the customer's statement. In 1978, national systems were installed by the two competing bankcard organizations which truncated the flow of this paper at the merchant's bank of deposit and forwared only an electronic message to the card issurer for posting to the cardholders statement. These systems were later expanded to include worldwide bankcard sales. The system that supports this electronic transmission fpr Visa cards processed over 60 million customer purchases per month during the latter part of 1985, or approximately 60% of all Visa card sales worldwide. The Visa system transmits this sales data overnight in a form which can be directly posted to a customer's descriptive billing statement through a network linking together 250 Visa bank processing centers in Europe, Canada, and the U.S. Magnetic tapes are sent to the balance of Visa banks operating in more than 125 countries throughout the rest of the world. As a result of the implemention of these two systems, both national systems have uniformly adopted cardholder billing statements which simply list a description of the sale without including a copy of the sales receipt. telephone numbers and password format. Gaining access to the ACH will give to all the information about credit cards needed. >From Person names to expiration dates to issuing banks.

I found this article to be quite funny along with antinque news. So I thought I share it with you for a laugh or whatever. Also this article was written by a EX-HACKER! How does one become a EX-HACKER, please tell me!!!! HACKER GANGS ------------> Early computer hackers tended to be college students. With the advent of home computers, and the teaching of computer basics at the grade school level, the average age of the begininning (youth) hacker has dropped to only 14!! The overwhelming majority of BBS owners and users are teenagers. Teens tend to form cliques and peer groups, so the formation of phone phreak and hacker gangs was inevitable. The parents of these bright teens usually do not, themselves, understand the power of the computer. This means that the teens are not subject to the same parental restrictions that would govern their using the family car. Many parents veiw the home computer as an excellent baby-sitting device. If their child spends an evening quietly in his/her room with the computer the parents feel that thier offspring is not getting into any trouble. In reality, these teens may be engaging in electronic gang activites that have very serious implications. Losses to the software industry alone are staggering!!! Unfortunately, many of the gang leaders are older, more experienced teens, perhaps college students. These people are interested in hacking not for its intellectual challenge, for for its financial rewards. A few gang leaders are adults who are politically or financially motivated. There are serveral adults who are major figures behind the cracking and distribution of pirated software for resale to the public. One adult gang leader openly solicited credit card numbers from the juvenile members in exchange for fraudulently obtained hard disk drives and other equipment. Some of the teenage leaders seek notoriety and acclaim from their peers. They strive to be the biggest phreaker or to have broken into the greatest number of computer systems. The gangs may be local in nature such as the infamous "Milwaukee 414 gang"; they may be national in nature, like the "Inner Circle"; or even international. One such international group is "NYSHII" or "CHAOS" both cracking and pirating clubs with headquaters in both West Germany and the United States. All of these groups had a BBS that was their main base of operations and served supposedly as a sercure communications center. The 414s had a private BBS that was so sercet it didn't even have a namme. The Inner Circle had a Securityland BBS and Illegitimate accounts on GTE'S Telemail network. Chaos operates on a variety of BBS's in both the U.S. and West Germany. NYSHII (New York Safehouse II) to this date has baffled local and international law enforcement agencys as to it's true whereabouts. The Sysop "The Line Breaker" has found a way of changing the BBS's location on a weekly basis without moving the master computer. ORGANIZED CRIME AND THE BBS ---------------------------> Naturally, an underground BBS could be used by organized crime in much the same manner as the teen hacker gangs use them. The author has good reason to believe thgat organized crime is controlling a number of BBS systems in the Midwest, the New York City area, and in Florida. One informant claims there is a bbs that is located in an off-track betting parlor. Teenagers are easily recruited to act as information gathers for organized crime. The young people work for little or nothing and, in most cases, do not even know that they are being used. The author and other adult hackers have been approached and offered large sums of money to tamper with banking and credit data computer systems. Organized crime is moving into this new area of crime. There is a real and present danger if BBSs continue to be alloowed to operate unchecked. Underground BBSs may be creating a whole new generation of criminals. As the youthful hackers mature, their interest in hacking as an intellectual challenge and rebellion against authority may be replaced by profit motive. College students always seem to need money and the teens who do not go to college may find it difficult to obtain a job. It is only natural that these individuals would graviate into hacking for personal gain. For example, many bulletin boards cater to those who are involved in credit card fraud. There is also evidence that drug dealers use BBSs to arrange swaps of stolen property for drugs. Hackers who have learned how to access credit bureau systems, such as TRWs, have discovered that making unauthorized credit checks for credit card thieves is a lucrative business. Credit bureau computer penetrations are routine in the hacker under- ground. The typical hacker gang obtains credit card numbers from discarded charge slip carbons. As an alternative, one or more hackers who work in retail establishments may supply card numbers. Other gang members can then check the cards for credit limits and expiuration dates by using the telephone or illegally accessing credit bureau computers. Others in the gang set up mail drops and safe houses for the deliverly of the merchandise ordered by mail and charged to the credit card numbers. Since the gangs know no geographic boundaries, it is difficult to investigate these frauds. Some commerical time-sharing services, such as Comp-u-serve, allow merchandise to be ordered via computer and shipped to the user's address. ime-sharing accounts are easily obtained with a stolen credit card. This allows the thief to order merchandise with little fear of being traced. These new high tech thieves are replacing more traditional criminals. The hackers and phone phreaks have knowledge and skill to completly disrupt major communication and computer networks. All that is lacking is organization, planning and financing. If enemy power should infiltrate and organize this underground, the consequences could be disastrous. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- = Phile 1.7 of 1.14 FEDERAL BLACK PAGES ------------------- WRITTEN BY: THE LINE BREAKER LISTED BELOW YOU WILL FIND TELEPHONE NUMBERS OF THOSE WHO HOLD OFFICE IN OUR GREAT COUNTRY.

But I have seen quite a lot of questions on the subject lately, and thought to explain a couple of things. Blue boxing has been dead for quite some time since everything went to ESS, and the same with black boxing. The latest form of boxing is red and green boxing. They both deal with fortress phones and can only be used with a fortress phone. With a red box, you dial a number at a fortress, insert a nickel, which is the ground check, and play the tape. It will emulate coins being dropped into the fortress. Since there is also questions on what are and how to get these tones, I've created a simple step process: 1) Obtain a recorder that you can directly hook into a fone line. If you use a regular recorder, you will need some modification on it. If you have an answering machine, then you have it made. 2) Find a fortress, and follow the metal pipe (usually metal) from the fortress to where ever it ends up. At somepoint on the pipe, there will be a small box which is held together by two screws. Unscrew the box. 3) You now should find two bolts with wires connected to them. The wires are 22 gauge (which is fairly thin wire). If you see thicker wires, such as 12 gauge wires, these are 220 volt AC lines, usually connected to the light in the phone booth. Do not touch the AC lines, unless you are stupid. Connect the tape recorder to the proper bolts, which means the 22 gauge wire. 4) Now dial a long distance fone number, and you will get a recordering to insert some money. Insert about $6.00 in quarters, then hang up and your money will be returned. The tones should have been recorded with a normal tape with no dolby. 5) Obtain a recorder with a built in speaker, or rip apart a phone set and obtain the earpiece. If there is a diode across the earpiece, remove it. Connect the earpiece to the output of the recorder. (I recommend using an earpiece rather than a built in speaker). 6) To test your tones, dial 0-959-1230 from a fortress, and you should get 'Coin Test ... Please Deposit ... .' Play back the tones you recorded and if everything goes well, you should hear 'Quarter' everytime a tone is played. Remember you only recorded quarter tones. You can record any tones you want by inserting different coins at the recording stage. If you are having problems, try adjusting the volume. 7) To use, dial a non-local number, insert a real nickel, and play the tones. Make sure you have enough tones on the recorder to complete the call. Now I will explain a little about what exactly happens when you deposit coins. When you deposit a coin, it goes through a series of tests, determining what type of coin it is. It will be deposited in various coin slots within the fortress itself if everything goes right. But before it is deposited in the right slot it will cause a wheel to be turned. A nickel will turn the wheel once, a dime twice, and quarter five times. This will cause a frequency to be generated which is sent to a operator or computer. A capacitor is placed across the speech circuit while these tones are generated so that the customer does not here them. Here are the tones and PPS (pules per second): Nickel: 1 beep 5-8.5 PPS Dime: 2 beeps 5-8.5 PPS Quarter: 5 beeps 12-17 PPS A green box allows the caller on the fortress to get his money back. It will generate the tones for coin collect, coin return, and ringback. This is basically what an operator uses. A green box cannot be used on a fortress, but must be used by the called party. An operator release signal must be sent before any tones from the green box are sent. This contains of a 2600hz tone for 90ms, then 60ms silence, then 2600hz for 900ms. This all must be done within the three minute collect period. Anyway, here are the tones: Ringback: 700hz+1700hz Coin Return: 1100hz+1700hz Coin Collect: 700hz+1700hz I hope this has enlighted the few without such knowledge. If you are confused, then don't phuck with this stuff, and get out of phreaking. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- = Phile 1.9 of 1.14 A notice to All Phreakers ------------------------- Written By - The Jedi In this time and age, phreaking is becoming more and more difficult. I can remember a time when there was such an abundance of codes, all you had to do was set up your favorite code hacking program and wait a couple of minutes. There was never a worry about getting busted and people often posted dozens of codes at a time. Now that Sprint and MCI are starting to catch on to things by extending the length of codes and such, its harder to get them and more dangerous if you get caught. Everyone decent phreaker knows this already, its no big secret. But, while the art of phreaking hasn't really changed much in the past few years, the techniques that these companies are using to catch phreakers has! I'm writing this article to warn those who hack out codes extensively. Working for a Fortress Phone Company does have it's advantages. I've managed to read a couple of magazines about fortress phones and the companies that use them. I recently stumbled across an article concerning long-distance communication fraud entitled "Fraud Prevention- Taking The Offensive". Since what I've read in the article was news to me, I figured that a few people out there might also be interested. It seems that one company has devised a way of disguising good codes while someone is hacking them in real-time! The following is taken from that article: "We have written software in our DCO-CS [Digital Central Office-Carrier Switch] that can detect when one of these hackers is at work by recognizing the patterns they frequently use..... Usually a hacker will hit one code, two codes, three codes, etc. - they usually follow some sort of pattern". "By using their computers to perform a set of mathematical procedures, or algorithms, hackers have been able to determine authorized calling codes. We use the algorithms to figure out what he's dailed so far and then determine where he's going next" "If he's going to what we know is a good code, then we will make it look like a bad code for his call only. If he does hit that good code, he won't be able to get through." "If he's using a random pattern with his off code, he's probably using either the same number he's calling to, which we can monitor by watching the successive call to that same number, or we can monitor the fact that he's hitting 'x' number of bad off codes in a row." As of now, the only company that using this method is Sprint but from what I see, it's getting popular. 19 People have been arrested recently by employing this system. BEWARE: ------- 1 - First of all, it'll make good codes look bad - Making every phreaker run in circles, never finding a decent code. 2 - It works in real-time. That is, you're constantly being monitored. 3 - It gives a printout of all the information which CAN BE USED AS EVIDENCE IN COURT. 4 - While it's not always possible for them to get the originating phone number, they sometimes get help from the connecting carrier. Which means my friends, the bbs that you're calling to hack to. My Suggestions: --------------- 1 - First of all, make the calls as random as possible. Using a code hacker that hacks codes in sequencial order is out of the question!! 2 - Don't make too many attempts at one time. The less you hack at a given time, the less you are suspected of phreaking. 3 - Use multiple extenders and target carriers. 4 - Don't use the same good code to often. If you do, at least don't call the same place 100 times! The person that owns that code will report the activity and they'll catch up with the person you're calling to. 5 - Stay away from Sprint. They're really good at this shit, don't mess around with them unless you know what you're doing. Try to stick with hacking codes from the newer, less sophisticated companies that don't employ this system. If you stick to those general rules, you shouldn't have too much trouble. Even the company that makes this system [Stromberg-Carlson Co.] admits that it's impossible to stop phreaking altogether. Those of you that are new to phreaking and stuff like it, educate yourselves BEFORE you dive into it. Remember, we're all in this together, if you get busted calling a pirate/hack/phreak/anarchy bbs. They'll get a hold of the user list and posts and bust everyone on the system. Don't ever rat on anyone!!! Well, thats about it for me. Look for my new text files out soon on fortress phones.And call... <== The Jedi ===> =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- = Phile 1.10 of 1.14 *************************************** ** ** ** An Introduction to ** ** ** ** DIVERTERS ** ** ** *************************************** Written by Larry Phreaker alias: Larry, and Larry P. A P / H U N P R O D U C T I O N --------------------------------------- This file isn't "How to use a diverter", it's more like "how to get lots of them as fast as I can to make confrences and trace-free calls without getting nailed" I will discuss several ways to do this.. I wrote the text file in 40 column even though I have 80 so everyone vith 40 col can read it easily. And so when/if you print it out you can waste half the paper!! --------------------------------------- HOW TO FIND THEM: METHOD ONE- needed- The Yellow Pages touch tone phone Your areas ANI phone number Okay. Open the phone book to PLUMBERS. Find one that says 24 hour service or something like that. Dial the #. Let it ring. You should hear a click, then a ring. that is the call diverting. the other ring often sounds different. get the other people to hang up. now, THIS IS VITAL: DONT ANNOY THEM! They're not dumb and will catch on if you do. ask in foreigner type voice "Is Abdul there?" or something like that. they will hang up. Wait for a dial tone, then dial the ANI number. Thats the thing when you dial it it reads back your number. if it says your number, then its not a diverter. Try another plumber and take your business elsewhere but if it reads a different number, its a diverter.. It wont be the number you dialed though. Write down the number you dialed somewhere. Now you have a diverter. Other people to do this to are Doctors, Electricians, or anyone with 24-hour service in their ad. --------------------------------------- Problems with diverters: --------------------------------------- Some diverters have security features in them to keep out the big bad phreaks. For example, Radio Shack sells diverters. They hang up on you(and disconnect the call) either after five or ten minutes, depending on what the owner sets a switch to. I hate those. Also, some diverters click when used. every minute or so. If you dial ALLIANCE and it wont go though, then dial 10288 first then alliance. this will rout the call through AT&T. --------------------------------------- Why Diverters Are Superior: --------------------------------------- Often if you use a diverter thats local to you you get a great connection. Why? Your dialing off of its dial tone as if it was your own, but not getting billed of course. Diverters dont trace or have ANI like those nasty 950 companies. They reach any number that you can.. If you call a number that traces with a diverter(Gvmt/TRW/etc) it gets the DIverter number and not yours. You are safe, the Plumber/Doctor has some serious explaining to do to the feds. As well as a large phone bill that he dosent know where it all came from. Phun at its best!!! --------------------------------------- HOW TO FIND THEM: METHOD TWO- --------------------------------------- you need- A PAYPHONE(unless your in Crossbar, but still WATCH OUT!) The number to the Credit Operator I reccomend using a payphone for this one since you are screwing with your local telco who dosent like you much. Ok, dial the credit op. Ask for the AT&T CREDIT OPERATOR. They should put on some lame recording. Wait till its over then wait for a dial tone. Hit 9+1+Area Code and Phone Number. This is convenient if you have no quarter. This is how it works: 1) you call credit op and ask for at&t credit op 2) Op hits button to DIAL number with recording. Op lets go of button to talk to you(IE: goes on to next person with ques.) 3) Recording Ends. It hangs up but you dont. you get a dial tone: THE CREDIT OPS DIAL TONE!!! 4) Dial 9+1+Area Code and Number. I reccomend hitting 9+ANI the first time you do this to make sure it works in your area. ----------------------------------------------- .
