| 18. What is an Internet Outdial? |
|
|
| An Internet outdial is a modem connected to the Internet than you can |
| use to dial out. Normal outdials will only call local numbers. A GOD |
| (Global OutDial) is capable of calling long distance. Outdials are an |
| inexpensive method of calling long distance BBS's. |

|
| 19. What are some Internet Outdials? |
|
|
| This FAQ answer is excerpted from CoTNo #5: |
|
|
| Internet Outdial List v3.0 |
| by Cavalier and DisordeR |
|
|
|
|
| Introduction |
| ------------ |
| There are several lists of Internet outdials floating around the net these |
| days. The following is a compilation of other lists, as well as v2.0 by |
| DeadKat(CoTNo issue 2, article 4). Unlike other lists where the author |
| just ripped other people and released it, we have sat down and tested |
| each one of these. Some of them we have gotten "Connection Refused" or |
| it timed out while trying to connect...these have been labeled dead. |

| Alternately you can hit <CTRL-Z> when the boot sequence asks you for the |
| date and create an account using: |
|
|
| RUN ACNT |
| or RUN $ACNT |
|
|
| (Numbers below 10 {oct} are Priveleged) |
|
|
| Reboot and wait for the date/time question. Type ^C and at the MCR prompt, |
| type "abo at." You must include the . dot! |
|
|
| If this works, type "acs lb0:/blks=1000" to get some swap space so the |
| new step won't wedge. |
|
|
| type " run $acnt" and change the password of any account with a group |
| number of 7 or less. |
|
|
| You may find that the ^C does not work. Try ^Z and ESC as well. |
| Also try all 3 as terminators to valid and invalid times. |
|
|
| If none of the above work, use the halt switch to halt the system, |
| just after a invalid date-time. Look for a user mode PSW 1[4-7]xxxx. |
| then deposit 177777 into R6, cross your fingers, write protect the drive |
| and continue the system. This will hopefully result in indirect blowing |
| up... And hopefully the system has not been fully secured. |

| 22. What port is XXX on? |
|
|
| The file /etc/services on most Unix machines lists the port |
| assignments for that machine. For a complete list of port |
| assignments, read RFC (Request For Comments) 1700 "Assigned Numbers" |

|
| 23. What is a trojan/worm/virus/logic bomb? |
|
|
| This FAQ answer was written by Theora: |
|
|
| Trojan: |
|
|
| Remember the Trojan Horse? Bad guys hid inside it until they could |
| get into the city to do their evil deed. A trojan computer program is |
| similar. It is a program which does an unauthorized function, hidden |
| inside an authorized program. It does something other than what it |
| claims to do, usually something malicious (although not necessarily!), |
| and it is intended by the author to do whatever it does. If it's not |
| intentional, its called a 'bug' or, in some cases, a feature :) Some |
| virus scanning programs detect some trojans. Some virus scanning |
| programs don't detect any trojans. No virus scanners detect all |
| trojans. |
|
|
| Virus: |
|
|
| A virus is an independent program which reproduces itself. It may |
| attach to other programs, it may create copies of itself (as in |
| companion viruses). It may damage or corrupt data, change data, or |
| degrade the performance of your system by utilizing resources such as |
| memory or disk space. Some virus scanners detect some viruses. No |
| virus scanners detect all viruses. No virus scanner can protect |
| against "any and all viruses, known and unknown, now and forevermore". |
|
|
| Worm: |
|
|
| Made famous by Robert Morris, Jr. , worms are programs which reproduce |
| by copying themselves over and over, system to system, using up |
| resources and sometimes slowing down the systems. They are self |
| contained and use the networks to spread, in much the same way viruses |
| use files to spread. Some people say the solution to viruses and |
| worms is to just not have any files or networks. They are probably |
| correct. We would include computers. |
|
|
| Logic Bomb: |
|
|
| Code which will trigger a particular form of 'attack' when a |
| designated condition is met. For instance, a logic bomb could delete |
| all files on Dec. 5th. Unlike a virus, a logic bomb does not make |
| copies of itself. |
|

| 24. How can I protect myself from viruses and such? |
|
|
| This FAQ answer was written by Theora: |
|
|
| The most common viruses are boot sector infectors. You can help |
| protect yourself against those by write protecting all disks which you |
| do not need write access to. Definitely keep a set of write protected |
| floppy system disks. If you get a virus, it will make things much |
| simpler. And, they are good for coasters. Only kidding. |
|
|
| Scan all incoming files with a recent copy of a good virus scanner. |
| Among the best are F-Prot, Dr. Solomon's Anti-virus Toolkit, and |
| Thunderbyte Anti-Virus. AVP is also a good proggie. Using more than |
| one scanner could be helpful. You may get those one or two viruses |
| that the other guy happened to miss this month. |
|
|
| New viruses come out at the rate of about 8 per day now. NO scanner |
| can keep up with them all, but the four mentioned here do the best job |
| of keeping current. Any _good_ scanner will detect the majority of |
| common viruses. No virus scanner will detect all viruses. |
|
|
| Right now there are about 5600 known viruses. New ones are written |
| all the time. If you use a scanner for virus detection, you need to |
| make sure you get frequent updates. If you rely on behaviour |
| blockers, you should know that such programs can be bypassed easily by |
| a technique known as tunnelling. |
|
|
| You may want to use integrity checkers as well as scanners. Keep in |
| mind that while these can supply added protection, they are not |
| foolproof. |
|
|
| You may want to use a particular kind of scanner, called resident |
| scanners. Those are programs which stay resident in the computer |
| memory and constantly monitor program execution (and sometimes even |
| access to the files containing programs). If you try to execute a |
| program, the resident scanner receives control and scans it first for |
| known viruses. Only if no such viruses are found, the program is |
| allowed to execute. |
|
|
| Most virus scanners will not protect you against many kinds of |
| trojans, any sort of logic bombs, or worms. Theoretically, they |
| _could_ protect you against logic bombs and/or worms, by addition of |
| scanning strings; however, this is rarely done. |
|
|
| The best, actually only way, to protect yourself is to know what you |
| have on your system and make sure what you have there is authorised by |
| you. Make freqent backups of all important files. Keep your DOS |
| system files write protected. Write protect all disks that you do not |
| need to write to. If you do get a virus, don't panic. Call the |
| support department of the company who supplies your anti-virus product |
| if you aren't sure of what you are doing. If the company you got your |
| anti-virus software from does not have a good technical support |
| department, change companies. |
|
|
| The best way to make sure viruses are not spread is not to spread |
| them. Some people do this intentionally. We discourage this. Viruses |
| aren't cool. |
|
|
|
|
| 25. Where can I get more information about viruses? |
|
|
| This FAQ answer was written by Theora: |
|
|
| Assembly lanaguage programming books illustrate the (boring) aspect of |
| replication and have for a long time. The most exciting/interesting |
| thing about viruses is all the controversy around them. Free speech, |
| legality, and cute payloads are a lot more interesting than "find |
| first, find next" calls. You can get information about the technical |
| aspects of viruses, as well as help if you should happen to get a |
| virus, from the virus-l FAQ, posted on comp. virus every so often. |
| You can also pick up on the various debates there. There are |
| alt.virus type newsgroups, but the level of technical expertise is |
| minimal, and so far at least there has not been a lot of real "help" |
| for people who want to get -rid- of a virus. |
|
|
| There are a lot of virus experts. To become one, just call yourself |
| one. Only Kidding. Understanding viruses involves understanding |
| programming, operating systems, and their interaction. Understanding |
| all of the 'Cult of Virus' business requires a lot of discernment. |
| There are a number of good papers available on viruses, and the Cult |
| of Virus; you can get information on them from just about anyone |
| listed in the virus-l FAQ. The FTP site ftp.informatik.uni-hamburg.de |
| is a pretty reliable site for proggies and text. |

| 26. What is Cryptoxxxxxxx? |
|
|
| This FAQ answer is excerpted from: Computer Security Basics |
| by Deborah Russell |
| and G.T. Gengemi Sr. |
|
|
| A message is called either plaintext or cleartext. The process of |
| disguising a message in such a way as to hide its substance is called |
| encryption. An encrypted message is called ciphertext. The process |
| of turning ciphertext back into plaintext is called decryption. |
|
|
| The art and science of keeping messages secure is called cryptography, |
| and it is practiced by cryptographers. Cryptanalysts are |
| practitioners of cryptanalysis, the art and science of breaking |
| ciphertext, i.e. seeing through the disguise. The branch of |
| mathematics embodying both cryptography and cryptanalysis is called |
| cryptology, and it's practitioners are called cryptologists. |

|
| 27. What is PGP? |
|
|
| This FAQ answer is excerpted from: PGP(tm) User's Guide |
| Volume I: Essential Topics |
| by Philip Zimmermann |
|
|
| PGP(tm) uses public-key encryption to protect E-mail and data files. |
| Communicate securely with people you've never met, with no secure |
| channels needed for prior exchange of keys. PGP is well featured and |
| fast, with sophisticated key management, digital signatures, data |
| compression, and good ergonomic design. |
|
|
| Pretty Good(tm) Privacy (PGP), from Phil's Pretty Good Software, is a |
| high security cryptographic software application for MS-DOS, Unix, |
| VAX/VMS, and other computers. PGP allows people to exchange files or |
| messages with privacy, authentication, and convenience. Privacy means |
| that only those intended to receive a message can read it. |
| Authentication means that messages that appear to be from a particular |
| person can only have originated from that person. Convenience means |
| that privacy and authentication are provided without the hassles of |
| managing keys associated with conventional cryptographic software. No |
| secure channels are needed to exchange keys between users, which makes |
| PGP much easier to use. This is because PGP is based on a powerful |
| new technology called "public key" cryptography. |
|
|
| PGP combines the convenience of the Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) |
| public key cryptosystem with the speed of conventional cryptography, |
| message digests for digital signatures, data compression before |
| encryption, good ergonomic design, and sophisticated key management. |
| And PGP performs the public-key functions faster than most other |
| software implementations. PGP is public key cryptography for the |
| masses. |

|
| 28. What is Tempest? |
|
|
| Tempest stands for Transient Electromagnetic Pulse Surveillance |
| Technology. |
|
|
| Computers and other electronic equipment release interference to their |
| surrounding environment. You may observe this by placing two video |
| monitors close together. The pictures will behave erratically until |
| you space them apart. |
|
|
| Although most of the time these emissions are simply annoyances, they |
| can sometimes be very helpful. Suppose we wanted to see what project |
| a target was working on. We could sit in a van outside her office and |
| use sensitive electronic equipment to attempt to pick up and decipher |
| the emanations from her video monitor. |
|
|
| Our competitor, however, could shield the emanations from her |
| equipment or use equipment without strong emanations. |
|
|
| Tempest is the US Government program for evaluation and endorsement |
| of electronic equipment that is safe from eavesdropping. |

|
| 29. What is an anonymous remailer? |
|
|
| An anonymous remailer is a system on the Internet that allows you to |
| send e-mail anonymously or post messages to Usenet anonymously. |
|
|
| You apply for an anonymous ID at the remailer site. Then, when you |
| send a message to the remailer, it sends it out from your anonymous ID |
| at the remailer. No one reading the post will know your real account |
| name or host name. If someone sends a message to your anonymous ID, |
| it will be forwarded to your real account by the remailer. |
|
|
|
|
| 30. What are the addresses of some anonymous remailers? |
|
|
| The most popular and stable anonymous remailer is anon.penet.fi, |
| operated by Johan Helsingus. To obtain an anonymous ID, mail |
| ping@anon.penet.fi. For assistance is obtaining an anonymous account |
| at penet, mail help@anon.penet.fi. |
|
|
| To see a list on anonymous remailers, finger |
| remailer-list@kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu. |

|
|
|
| 31. How do I defeat Copy Protection? |
|
|
| There are two common methods of defeating copy protection. The first |
| is to use a program that removes copy protection. Popular programs |
| that do this are CopyIIPC from Central Point Software and CopyWrite |
| from Quaid Software. The second method involves patching the copy |
| protected program. For popular software, you may be able to locate a |
| ready made patch. You can them apply the patch using any hex editor, |
| such as debug or the Peter Norton's DiskEdit. If you cannot, you must |
| patch the software yourself. |
|
|
| Writing a patch requires a debugger, such as Soft-Ice or Sourcer. It |
| also requires some knowledge of assembly language. Load the protected |
| program under the debugger and watch for it to check the protection |
| mechanism. When it does, change that portion of the code. The code |
| can be changed from JE (Jump on Equal) or JNE (Jump On Not Equal) to |
| JMP (Jump Unconditionally). Or the code may simply be replaced with |
| NOP (No Operation) instructions. |
|
|
|
|
| 32. What is 127.0.0.1? |
|
|
| 127.0.0.1 is a loopback network connection. If you telnet, ftp, etc... |
| to it you are connected to your own machine. |
|
|
|
|
| 33. How do I post to a moderated newsgroup? |
|
|
| Usenet messages consist of message headers and message bodies. The |
| message header tells the news software how to process the message. |
| Headers can be divided into two types, required and optional. Required |
| headers are ones like "From" and "Newsgroups." Without the required |
| headers, your message will not be posted properly. |
|
|
| One of the optional headers is the "Approved" header. To post to a |
| moderated newsgroup, simply add an Approved header line to your |
| message header. The header line should contain the newsgroup |
| moderators e-mail address. To see the correct format for your target |
| newsgroup, save a message from the newsgroup and then look at it using |
| any text editor. |
|
|
| A "Approved" header line should look like this: |
|
|
| Approved: will@gnu.ai.mit.edu |
|
|
| There cannot not be a blank line in the message header. A blank line |
| will cause any portion of the header after the blank line to be |
| interpreted as part of the message body. |
|
|
| For more information, read RFC 1036: Standard for Interchange of |
| USENET messages. |

| Section B: Telephony |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
|
|
| 01. What is a Red Box? |
|
|
| When a coin is inserted into a payphone, the payphone emits a set of |
| tones to ACTS (Automated Coin Toll System). Red boxes work by fooling |
| ACTS into believing you have actually put money into the phone. The |
| red box simply plays the ACTS tones into the telephone microphone. |
| ACTS hears those tones, and allows you to place your call. The actual |
| tones are: |
|
|
| Nickel Signal 1700+2200 0.060s on |
| Dime Signal 1700+2200 0.060s on, 0.060s off, twice repeating |
| Quarter Signal 1700+2200 33ms on, 33ms off, 5 times repeating |
|
|
|
|
| 02. How do I build a Red Box? |
|
|
| Red boxes are commonly manufactured from modified Radio Shack tone |
| dialers, Hallmark greeting cards, or made from scratch from readily |
| available electronic components. |
|
|
| To make a Red Box from a Radio Shack 43-141 or 43-146 tone dialer, |
| open the dialer and replace the crystal with a new one. |
| The purpose of the new crystal is to cause the * button on your tone |
| dialer to create a 1700Mhz and 2200Mhz tone instead of the original |
| 941Mhz and 1209Mhz tones. The exact value of the replacement crystal |
| should be 6.466806 to create a perfect 1700Mhz tone and 6.513698 to |
| create a perfect 2200mhz tone. A crystal close to those values will |
| create a tone that easily falls within the loose tolerances of ACTS. |
| The most popular choice is the 6.5536Mhz crystal, because it is the |
| eaiest to procure. The old crystal is the large shiny metal component |
| labeled "3.579545Mhz." When you are finished replacing the crystal, |
| program the P1 button with five *'s. That will simulate a quarter |
| tone each time you press P1. |
|
|
|
|
| 03. Where can I get a 6.5536Mhz crystal? |
|
|
| Your best bet is a local electronics store. Radio Shack sells them, |
| but they are overpriced and the store must order them in. This takes |
| approximately two weeks. In addition, many Radio Shack employees do |
| not know that this can be done. |
|
|
| Or, you could order the crystal mail order. This introduces Shipping |
| and Handling charges, which are usually much greater than the price of |
| the crystal. It's best to get several people together to share the |
| S&H cost. Or, buy five or six yourself and sell them later. Some of |
| the places you can order crystals are: |
|

|
|
| 04. Which payphones will a Red Box work on? |
|
|
| Red Boxes will work on TelCo owned payphones, but not on COCOT's |
| (Customer Owned Coin Operated Telephones). |
|
|
| Red boxes work by fooling ACTS (Automated Coin Toll System) into |
| believing you have put money into the pay phone. ACTS is the |
| telephone company software responsible for saying "Please deposit XX |
| cents" and listening for the coins being deposited. |
|
|
| COCOT's do not use ACTS. On a COCOT, the pay phone itself is |
| responsible for determining what coins have been inserted. |
|
|
|
|
| 05. How do I make local calls with a Red Box? |
|
|
| Payphones do not use ACTS for local calls. To use your red box for |
| local calls, you have to fool ACTS into getting involved in the call. |
|
|
| One way to do this, in some areas, is by dialing 10288-xxx-xxxx. This |
| makes your call a long distance call, and brings ACTS into the |
| picture. |
|
|
| In other areas, you can call Directory Assistance and ask for the |
| number of the person you are trying to reach. The operator will give |
| you the number and then you will hear a message similar to "Your call |
| can be completed automatically for an additional 35 cents." When this |
| happens, you can then use ACTS tones. |
|
|
|
|
| 06. What is a Blue Box? |
|
|
| Blue boxes use a 2600hz tone to size control of telephone switches |
| that use in-band signalling. The caller may then access special |
| switch functions, with the usual purpose of making free long distance |
| phone calls, using the tones provided by the Blue Box. |
|
|
|
|
| 07. Do Blue Boxes still work? |
|
|
| Blue Boxes still work in areas using in band signalling. Modern phone |
| switches use out of band signalling. Nothing you send over the voice |
| portion of bandwidth can control the switch. If you are in an area |
| served by a switch using out of band signalling, you can still blue |
| box by calling through an area served by older in-band equipment. |
|
|
|
|
| 08. What is a Black Box? |
|
|
| A Black Box is a 1.8k ohm resistor placed across your phone line to |
| cause the phone company equipment to be unable to detect that you have |
| answered your telephone. People who call you will then not be billed |
| for the telephone call. Black boxes do not work under ESS. |
|
|
|
|
| 09. What do all the colored boxes do? |
|
|
| Acrylic Steal Three-Way-Calling, Call Waiting and programmable |
