Intro:
Have you ever wanted to hack your very own voice
mail box ż? Well
with this file
may your dreams come true. now let's get into the
shit
Alright if you don't know what all the diffrent
voice mail systems
sould like
Here's a few examples:
Skytel vmb: 800-520-5458
Octel/Aspen: 800-487-6245
Meridian: 800-422-6245
Audix: 877-999-6245
Message Center: 800-317-6245
Phone Mail: 800-520-9666
Here's the defult code to vms
Audix: Box number
Aspen/Octel: Box Number,0000-1111-2222-ect-,1234
Meridian: Box Number
Phone Mail: Box Number,1234,9999
Message Center: None (no password)
Skytel: last 4 of box number,9999,1234
Partner Mail vs: 1234,9999
Here's A few ways on how to get voice mail
systems:
Scanning (best way)
From Another Phreak (Okay)
Off The Internet (lamor)
Now if you scan yourself you will have very good
chances to get some
voice mail boxes.
Getting a VMS from a fellow phreak is alright
unless they gave it out
to everyone and there mom
and if you get them off the net chances are they
will be not in
service or something else that is no
where near a vms (what the hell am i talking
about oh well) and you
would also be a 31337 Lam0r.
Alright now you got yourself a voice mail system
by now or at lease
should.
Logging In to voice mail boxes
Audix: *8
Aspen/Octel: #
Meridian: *81
Message Center: *
Phone Mail # (i may be wrong)
Findig A valid box:
Start with 100 and 999 if it has 3 digit boxes
If it's 4 digit boxes try 1000 and 9999
if both of them don't work try
200,300,400,ect,ect, or
2000,3000,4000,ect,ect
if you still have no luck on finding a box
there's two things you can
do quit and me a lamor or
be a tru phreak and scan the whole system.
Okay, let's say you found a valid box. Let's say
it's box 2600 and
2610 is not a valid box number,
but box 2630 is Your going to want to do some
basic scanning to find
a range of boxes. Scan
2610 and below (make sure you note everything)
then scan 2610 and up
and 2630 and up this should give you an
idea on how the boxes are mapped out on Voice
Mail Systems.
Finding A Vacant Box:
Once you have found some valid boxes, start
scanning for vacant
boxes. A vacant Box is a box
that where created by the system aministrator for
future use, or
boxes that have been abandoned
when an employee was fired,transferred,ect. Call
the system After
Hours and enter in some of the
valid box numbers you wrote down earlier when
scanning
You Should Be Listening For a greeting that sound
like:
A: Box "xxx" please leave a message
B: Box xxx
C: Leave A message After the tone "Beep"
IF you come acrossed a greeting recorded by a
human assume the box
is "in use" Never ever
take over a box that is in use by an employee.
Some More Defult Codes:
123,321
1234,4321
box number plus 1 example 26001
1 plus box number 12600
I'm in now what:
1st See if there are any messages (if there are,
listen to them. If
the newest message is a month
or older i would say it's safe to take) Also some
system aministrator
will send messages to every
box on that system
2nd Change The Passcode And if you want the
outgoing greeting
Once you've successfully hacked a box, become
familiar with it's
features. Some Voice Mail Systems
have features like make distribution list,message
notification and
other 31337 features
More info On Vms:
The purpose of this section is to briefly touch
on some of the
voicemail
systems you are likely to encounter. I will
provide general
background
on each system, as well as default passwords if
they are available.
Alltel - This is a voicemail system for cellular
telephone users only.
From your cellular phone, dial #99 and
"SEND". Enter your
security
code, and you are in. All vacant boxes
will have a default
password
of 9999. Alltel voicemail has several
desirable features
including
the ability to change your security code,
record a personal
greeting, create a "greeting schedule",
and forward messages
to
other users.
A.S.P.E.N. - Most people will agree that
A.S.P.E.N. (Automated Speech
Network) is one of the best voicemail
systems. To find a
vacant
box, scan some common three digit
numbers until you hear
an
automated voice say "You entered XXX.
Please leave a
message at
the tone...BEEP". Hit # and enter the
box number when
prompted.
A friendly female voice will discuss
some of the better
features of the system and ask for
your "temporary
password".
The password is usually four digits.
It is probably one
of
those on my default list. Features to
look out for
include
the ability to control message
playback speed, message
forwarding, and "envelopes", extended
absence greetings,
the awesome ability to create and
moderate "guest boxes"
for
friends, and distribution lists.
Audex Voice Power - From the onset, Audex systems
are difficult to
identify.
When calling a suspect number,
hit *7. It should
respond
with "Welcome to Audex Voice
Power, please enter
extension and # sign". Box
numbers are three or
four digits and usually start
with a 2. The
password
will be the same as the box
number. You are
required to
hit # after entering the
extension number, and
the
password. Features include
easy message recording
and
forwarding, as well as out
call for message
receipt
notification.
Centagram - Most Centagram systems are direct
dial. This means that
each
customer has his/her own 800 number
where you can leave
messages
without having to go through
extensions. You can only
hack these
systems if you have the valid number
of at least one
legitimate
user. Once you have a valid box, scan
other numbers in
sequence.
Most, if not all, Centagram systems
will group the boxes
together
in "blocks". Upon calling a vacant
box, you should hear a
generic
greeting. Before you are told to leave
a message, hit #.
You will be prompted for a password.
The password will
usually
be the last four digits of the box's
telephone number. If
this
does not work, try some of the
defaults mentioned above.
Centagram systems are very user
friendly, and the nice
lady
will guide you through a list of
options upon entering
the box.
Cindi - Cindi systems are pretty easy to get
into, and they tend to
have
some nice features. Upon calling the
system and pressing #,
you
should hear "Please enter the person's
name using your touch
tone
keypad, last name followed by first. To
enter a Q or Z push
1..."
The disconnection message should sound
something like "Thank
You,
Good day". Mailboxes are usually grouped
together in blocks
and will
be either 3 or 4 digits. To log in you'll
have to call the
vacant
box and hit "0" when the message starts
playing. The default
password
for Cindi systems is also "0". Features
include message
recording
and forwarding, playback volume
adjustment, call placements,
distribution lists, certified messages,
and the ability to
create
guest accounts for friends.
Meridian - These systems are the easiest to
identify. Upon calling
the
number you should hear a female voice
say "Meridian
Mail....
Mailbox?" The box numbers are usually
four digits and are
grouped together in a logical fashion.
The default password
is the same as the box number.
Meridians have some nice
features,
including the ability to dial out (some
systems). Other
features
include message forwarding, and
"envelopes", distribution
lists,
personal greetings inside the mailbox,
and the ability to
log out.
Message Center - The Message Center is the
easiest direct dial system
to
hack. Once again, you must find a
valid box in the
prefix
you are scanning. After you have
successfully
located a box,
hit * twice to access the main
Message Center Board.
It
should say something to the
effect of "Welcome to
the
Message Center. Please enter a
mailbox number or
wait".
Enter box numbers in the same
prefix and listen for
a
generic message. Once you've
located a vacant box,
hit
* once to log in! It's really
that easy. Although
features
are lacking, it is always nice to
have a direct dial
box.
Octel - Not much is known about these systems.
Upon calling the
system and
hitting the # key, you'll be prompted for
a mailbox number.
Enter
the number followed by # and you'll get
the password prompt.
Feel
free to try some of the defaults from my
list above.
Remember, all
commands made outside the box must be
followed by #. Once
inside,
you'll be walked through the basic setup.
Some Octel systems
will
require you to change your pass code
immediately. Desirable
features
include the ability to control message
playback speed and
volume,
message notification, future delivery
option, "private"
delivery
option, faxing feature, and distribution
lists.
One Connect - Perhaps the most useful voicemail
system currently on
the
market. Most One Connect systems are
direct dial.
Virgin
boxes will give you set up
instructions when called.
Press *
for the password prompt, and key in
the default code
1234.
Once inside, you can listen to
messages, retrieve faxed
messages, set up message
verification, call long
distance
numbers using the PBX, configure
instant paging, and
even set
up a toll free loop where callers
can reach you.
RSVP - These systems suck! They can only hold 23
boxes. Upon calling,
hit
* for the directory of boxes. If you hit #
first, you'll be
given
a list of options. As soon as you select
any option, you'll be
prompted for a mailbox number. The mailbox
numbers are almost
always
two digits. The password will be the same
as the box number.
Skytel - One of the more difficult systems.
Skytel voicemail is a
bitch
because you are required to enter the
password first,
followed by
the box number. Many new voice mail
systems are adopting
this
method since it makes hacking next to
impossible. The best
way to
hack Skytel is to get a PIN number of a
user and call
customer
support claiming to be the dissatisfied
customer. Call 1-800-
SKYUSER
(1-800-759-8737) for Customer Support.
Sperry Link - An all around nice system that can
be a bitch to hack.
Call it
up and you'll hear "This is a Sperry
Link voice
station. Please
enter your user ID". Just try some
common numbers in
sequence.
Most IDs are five digits. If you
hear "This is an XXX
answering
service" you have found a valid box.
Hit *# to get the
log in
prompt. At this point you'll just
have to guess the
password.
Try some of the defaults from my
list. The passwords
are
usually four digits.
In addition there are many other systems not
listed here. You'll
encounter
these unnamed systems too. Some of them are nice
others are not.
