"M4phr1k" (aka Stephan Barnes)
My current role is the
VP of Sales at Symosis
I was the original VP of Sales of Foundstone and left after 1.5
years post the McAfee acquisition

Pictured here are some of the best minds I have had the
pleasure to work with and you know who you are. The cumulative knowledge of this core
group of people is what solidified Foundstone as a name that will forever be
remembered. Many important people
have come and gone after this initial group but it is very likely that without
this catalyst of chemistry initially, things would be entirely different
historically for Foundstone.

Are
you LOW TECH? I am when I need to
be!
Remember Procomm Plus?
Check out my HOW TO get ProComm Plus Test Drive ready for use and how to use a TYMNET 800 Connection as an example for learning how brute forcing DIAL-UP works.
Remember, War Dialing, PBX and VMB hacking still work!
Have you shut down all of those Old Backdoors that can be accessed (possibly) via SprintNet or Tymenet)?
Here is a "How To" lesson for you on how to access an 800 tymenet number.
MANUAL:
- Use ProComm Plus or your dial program of choice PCPLUSTD ("test drive" is on my site)
- Change the modem settings before you dial: to E-7-1 for settings parity, etc. (Versus N-8-1, which is the most common)
- Dial whatever way you want the following number: 18005461000
- Hit (enter) (enter)
- Type VT100 (enter) when prompted at TERMINAL=
- Type your local (or some valid) NPA/NXX at the "Enter your local area code and exchange" (enter)
- Wait for @
- Type C AAA (see what you get)
You connect by typing C and "some info" (say any three letters) and wait for a response
Here is a Hint : Phrack 42, SprintNet sections
Have Fun
See how this is done!
This is as FAR as I take you. You're on your own from here:

OR
GO AUTOMATED!:
If you really want to use my stuff you need to learn ProComm Plus Aspect Scripting anyway
Here is TYM800.ASP a neat little ProComm Plus ASP (Aspect Programming Language script) that would do this for you.
works with PCPLUSTD as an ASPECT SCRIPT FILE go to my PCPLUSTD how to section and setup PCPLUSTD
then come back HERE to see how to run the TYM800 program

You don't need an air hammer to drive in a simple nail:
When War Dialing match the technology to the technology
When you are war dialing you might come up with a gambit of
modem connections that are look odd and foreign - old school if you will.
New school communications programs sometimes provide too much clutter and noise so going back to the old school is almost surefire and steady way to succeed.
Case in point:
I have seen a router that ToneLOC caught and dumped in the
FOUND.log and when using the newer ProComm Plus 32 to go back and dial it up,
it could not figure out the parity and chunked up the display.
What to do? Go OLD SCHOOL:
Set it up and wa-la, you are generally ready to go (caveats apply)

Don't forget to test PBX and Voicemail systems like Seimens and Rolm
