C O D E T H I E F D E L U X E B y B r e w A s s o c i a t e s A N O F F I C I A L P H O R T U N E 5 0 0 P R O D U C T CODE THIEF REVISION 3.5 (DELUXE) DETAILING NEW FEATURES SINCE CODE THIEF REVISION 3.0 INTRODUCTION Welcome to the Deluxe edition of Code Thief. ˙This is Code ˙Thief Revision ˙3.5, ˙˙the next logical upgrade from Code Thief ˙3.0. ˙˙This documentation assumes that you have Code Thief 3.0 ˙and wish only to go over ˙the ˙new ˙features in Code Thief Deluxe 3.5. ˙If Code ˙Thief ˙is TOTALLY ˙new to you, ˙read THIEF35.DOC for more detailed information on Code Thief. UPGRADES TO HACK LONG DISTANCE SERVICES After selecting the start and stop times, ˙and weather you wish to quit ˙to ˙DOS after the specified stop time, ˙you ˙are ˙presented ˙with another screen before hacking. On this screen you will be asked if you wish ˙to stop hacking after Code Thief finds a number of ˙valid ˙codes. If you answer yes, ˙you are prompted to enter the number of valid codes to ˙stop after. ˙Then you are prompted as to weather Code Thief should quit to DOS after finding this number of valid codes. If you have quit to ˙DOS ˙for both the TIME and the NUMBER OF CODES, ˙˙whatever ˙happens first will cause Thief Deluxe to quit to DOS. Now you are asked the number of seconds to pause between attempts. This ˙is ˙a ˙feature ˙to throw off the long ˙distance ˙carrier's ˙hack- detection ˙software. ˙˙If ˙you have a lot of flagged extenders PLUS ˙a delay ˙time ˙between ˙attempts, ˙it greatly decreases the LD ˙company's software ˙from ˙detecting ˙hacking. ˙˙It is best to ˙hack ˙during ˙the DAYTIME, and a delay will help guarantee that a valid customer calls in and uses their code so ˙that ˙your hacks will be more spread apart. ˙A lot ˙of ˙flagged ˙extenders ˙also ˙decreases the possibility ˙of ˙being detected even MORE. ˙Face it, ˙more people are being busted every day. Use ˙Code ˙Thief ˙Deluxe with all of the ˙Code ˙Thief ˙capabilities ˙to greatly ˙heighten your safety. ˙Note that if you hit RETURN for ˙delay time, ˙˙Code Thief Deluxe will not pause between attempts (also if ˙you hit "0" which is the same thing). When Code Thief is DELAYING, you will be shown the countdown. ˙If you wish to stop the delay and just go on to the next attempt, ˙hit the [SPACEBAR]. ˙˙Hitting ˙ESCape during the countdown will ˙quit ˙hacking mode. UPGRADES TO EDIT EXTENDER CONFIGURATIONS Now ˙accepted in the code template is [#] and [*]. ˙This ˙is ˙for hacking PBX's that need these. UPGRADES TO DELUXE EXCHANGE SCANNER The ˙Code ˙Thief ˙Deluxe exchange scanner is a ˙multiple ˙exchange full-screen exchange scanner. ˙Also, you can now scan the 1-800 ˙area. When ˙you hit [F] from the main menu, ˙you are taken into the ˙exchange editor. ˙If no exchanges exist, a ˙dummy first record will be created. Hit ˙[R] to Replace the first record and enter the exchange, ˙˙starting number and ending number of the exchange. ˙Now, ˙you can add exchanges by ˙hitting ˙[A], ˙˙delete exchanges by hitting [D], ˙flag ˙and ˙unflag exchanges by hitting [+] and [-] respectively, ˙as well as use the left and ˙right arrow keys on the numeric keypad to move around in the file. Also ˙note ˙that ˙you ˙can ˙enter the ˙exchange ˙record ˙number ˙to ˙go automatically ˙to ˙that ˙exchange record, ˙just like ˙in ˙the ˙extender configuration section. ˙The [SPACEBAR] toggles weather the exchange is in the 1-800 area or not. If ˙you ˙wish to not scan exchanges, ˙just hit [Q] to quit to ˙the main menu. ˙But to begin scanning exchanges, ˙just hit [G] from ˙here. Note ˙that ˙to scan, ˙˙at ˙least one exchange must be flagged. ˙If ˙no exchanges are flagged Code Thief will tell you. You are also asked for the modem timeout (in seconds). During scanning, ˙if the ending number for an exchange is reached, Code Thief will stop scanning that exchange by unflagging it. When all of ˙the ˙flagged ˙exchanges ˙become unflagged, ˙Code ˙Thief ˙will ˙quit exchange scanning. Of course you can also quit by hitting ESCape, ˙and the ˙last number dialed in all exchanges will be saved in your exchange configurations. ˙˙Then all you have to do is hit [F] then [G] from the main menu to pick up from where you left off. UPGRADES TO SET MODEM PARAMATERS/DEFAULTS;MODEM SPECIFICS Hang ˙up mode has been changed. ˙Code Thief now NEEDS to drop DTR to hang up, so set your modem DIP switches accordingly. The option has been ˙replaced ˙by ˙LOCAL DIALING. ˙If you ˙only ˙have ˙pulse ˙dialing services ˙(not touchtone) ˙then set this option to PULSE. ˙˙Otherwise, TONE ˙is the default. ˙Of course when Code Thief DOES connect ˙to ˙the extender, TONE will be used for the remainder of the hack. This should go without saying. MODEM INPUT/OUTPUT WINDOWS All ˙I/O to the modem is now monitored. ˙Also, ˙Code Thief Deluxe should work with more modems. ˙During hacking or scanning you will see the ˙I/O ˙windows, ˙along with a timer on the top of the screen. ˙˙The first ˙window is INPUT from the modem, ˙the second window is OUTPUT ˙to the modem. ˙Code Thief will now re-send commands if errors occur, ˙try commands ˙again if they elicit no response, ˙recover from ˙modem ˙screw ups, ˙and generally be more well behaved. For instance, ATX4 ˙is right as a user string for my COM3: ˙modem, but creates an ERROR for my COM2: modem. ˙If I use a user string of ATX4 for my COM2: modem, ˙Code Thief will recognize it and keep sending ATX4 ˙a ˙number of times to my COM2: modem. Of course it keeps getting errors. ˙Then after about 5 retries Code ˙Thief ˙will ˙abort ˙hacking. ˙˙Now ˙I ˙can ˙look ˙at ˙the ˙modem configuration and say to myself: ˙Ah! ˙I ˙need to get rid of this user string. ˙Also note that when waiting for a carrier if no modem ˙result code ˙is ˙received in the time specified as TIMEOUT for ˙your ˙extender (can be edited using the extender editor) ˙Code Thief Deluxe will ˙know and move on. ˙Code Thief Deluxe uses your PC's clock to keep track ˙of seconds that have elapsed. MULTIPLE TARGET CONVERSION UTILITIES / TYMFIX.COM Consult ˙˙CONVERT.DOC, ˙˙which ˙has ˙been ˙updated ˙and ˙˙includes information on TYMFIX.COM and its use. Convert version 2.0 is included in your Code Thief Deluxe ZIPfile. SUMMARY Well, ˙that's about it for the new features in Code Thief ˙Deluxe. The major changes have been incorporated in the modem I/O which took ˙a bit ˙of programming, ˙but are easy to document on paper. ˙Also, ˙˙Code Thief ˙has grown quite complex for a hacker type program. ˙In creating Code ˙Thief I have attempted to take most of the popular features ˙from other ˙Code ˙Hackers, ˙˙whatever language they were ˙written ˙in, ˙˙and incorporate them ˙into ˙the "wish-list" ˙for Code Thief and Code ˙Thief Deluxe. ˙˙I ˙˙would ˙also like to thank the many ˙people ˙who ˙offered suggestions as to additions and modifications. If you are just getting Code Thief Deluxe when it's new, upload it everywhere so people can move on up to Code Thief Deluxe Revision ˙3.5. Besides, ˙˙it ˙will get you upload points and a ˙better ˙upload ˙ratio. Everyone benefits.
