1: INTRODUCTION
THE PURPOSE OF THIS PHILE IS TO MAKE THE CBI CREDIT REFERRAL SERVICE
ACCESSIBLE TO THE NOVICE USER, AND TO PHACILITATE ACCOUNT HACKING FOR
THE MORE EXPERIENCED HACKER. I WILL ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN THE BASICS OF
CBI, SIMPLE COMMANDS, AND THE TWO METHODS PHOR ACHIEVING NEW
ACCOUNTS. SYSOPS AND PHELLOW HACKERS ARE MOST WELCOME TO COPY AND
DISTRIBUTE THIS PHILE.
2: WHAT THE HELL is CBI?
CBI IS A CREDIT REFERRAL SERVICE, SIMILAR TO TRW (THOUGH RATHER
INFERIOR). BASICALLY, WITH THE ADVENT OF LARGE-SCALE CREDIT USE FOR
HIGH-END PURCHASES, A NEED AROSE FOR A SERVICE WHICH VARIOUS
BUSINESSES, BANKS, LENDING AGENTS ETC. COULD QUICKLY AND EASILY GET A
COMPLETE CREDIT HISTORY ON A POTENTIAL CUSTOMER. THUS, THESE
ESTABLISHMENTS CAN HAVE AT THEIR BECK AND CALL YOUR ENTIRE CREDIT
HISTORY: ALL YOUR CREDIT CARDS, THEIR LIMITS, ANY MORTGAGES YOU HAVE
AND THEIR CURRENT STATUS, AS WELL AS VARIOUS OTHER TIDBITS SUCH AS
LOANS, CAR REPOSSESSION DEFAULTED EXTENSIONS OF CREDIT, AND THE LIKE.
SOME PEOPLES CREDIT FILES ARE QUITE EXTENSIVE, WHILE OTHERS ARE
SURPRISINGLY INCOMPLETE. THIS, I SUPPOSE, REFLECTS THE AMMOUNT OF
CREDIT USAGE THE INDIVIDUAL IN QUESTION HAS EMPLOYED. TO MAKE THESE
CREDIT REFERRAL SERVICES QUICKLY AND EASILY ACCESSIBLE, THESE
COMPANIES HAVE BEEN KIND ENOUGH TO PLACE ALL THEIR RECORDS IN AN
ONLINE DATABASE WHICH CAN BE CALLED AND REFERENCED BY A LEGITIMATE
ACCOUNT-HOLDER VIA MODEM. FORUTUNATELY FOR US, THE HACKER COMMUNITY,
THIS WONDERFUL DATABASE CAN ALSO BE CALLED AND ACCESSED ILLEGALLY.
THIS IS WHERE THE PHUN BEGINS.
3: OKAY, HOW DO I GET ON?
TO MAKE THE LIVES OF THE VARIOUS LEGAL USERS OF THEIR SYSTEM EASIER,
CBI HAS ESTABLISHED NUMEROUS ACCESS POINTS TO THEIR DATABASE.
UNFORTUNATELY, AT THE TIMEOF THE WRITING OF THIS PHILE, I ONLY HAVE
TWO WORKING DIALUP FOR CBI. THEY ARE: 1-713-591-8100 HOUSTON, TEXAS
1-804-466-1619 NORFOLK, VIRGINIA ALSO, THE VOICELINE FOR CBI'S
'EQUIFAX CREDIT INFORMATION SERVICES' IS 1-201-842-7500. CALL IT AND
SOCIAL ENGINEER YOURSELF A DIALUP OR SIX.
ONCE YOU'RE READY TO CALL, CALL A CBI DIALUP DIRECTLY, OR JUST
THROUGH A CODE. IF YOU'RE TRYING TO HACK OUT AN ACCOUNT. RATHER, USE
AN OUTDIAL, OR BETTER YET, USE SEVERAL OUTDIALS. MAKE IT HARD FOR
THEM TO TRACK YOU DOWN. TO ACCESS IT REGULARLY, USE A DIVERTER. I
USUALLY USE A SINGLE OUTDIAL, WHICH SEEMS TO BE SAFE ENOUGH FOR
SIMPLY ACCESSING THE SYSTEM. AS I SAID, FOR HACKING, A MORE
'LAYERED' APPROACH IS ADVISABLE.
OKAY, SO NOW YOU'VE DIALED THE NUMBER FROM YOUR CHEESY OUTDIAL. THE
SYSTEM CONNECTS. BUT, NOTHING APPEARS ON YOUR SCREEN. CBI DOES NOT
RECOGNIZE THE STANDARD 'CARRIAGE RETURN' GENERATED BY YOUR 'RETURN'
KEY. RATHER, CBI ACCEPTS [CNTRL-S] (^S) AS A RETURN. SO, TO AWAKEN
THE SYSTEM, HIT CNTRL-S (YOU MAY NEED TO FOLLOW THIS WITH A RETURN
SOMETIMES). WAIT A FEW SECONDS AND YOU'LL SEE:
(5A)PLEASE LOGIN:
THE SYSTEM HAS NO ECHO, SO YOU MAY WANT TO CALL WITH HALF DUPLEX FOR
SOME VISUALRE-ASSURANCE. YOU NOW ENTER YOUR ACCOUNT. ACCOUNTS APPEAR
IN TWO FORMATS: 613BB2114-C2 OR 613BB2114-C2,AZ,P.
THE SYSTEM WILL ACCEPT EITHER ONE (IE, THE 'AZ,P.' IS NOT NECESSARY).
AFTER YOU FINISH TYPING IN THE ACCOUNT, HIT [CNTRL-S] AGAIN. THERE
WILL BE A FEW SECONDS BRIEF WAIT, AND IF THE ACCOUNT YOU ENTERED IS
VALID, THE SYSTEM WILL SAY: BLAMMO. YOU'RE IN.
4: HOW TO PULL FILES
ONCE YOU'RE IN, THERE ARE 2 BASIC COMMANDS THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO
PULL PEOPLES FILES. THERE ARE VARIOUS OTHER COMMANDS FOR MORE
POWERFUL ACCOUNTS, BUT AS A LOW END USER, YOU NEED NOT WORRY ABOUT
THESE, AND IF YOU AREA A MORE EXPERIENCED USER, THEN YOU DON'T NEED
IT TO TELL THEM TO YOU!
THE FILES IN THE CBI DATABASE ARE REFERENCED BY EITHER NAME AND
ADDRESS OR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER. IF YOU KNOW EITHER OF THESE FOR
YOUR PROSPECTIVE TARGET,YOU'RE IN BUSINESS. FIRST, THE EASY ONE: TO
PULL A PERSONS CREDIT FILE WITH THEIR SS NUMBER, ENTER THIS COMMAND:
ID-SSS-###-##-####.[CNTRL-S]
THERE #'S ARE THE DIGITS OF THE SS #. DO NOT FORGET THE PERIOD AT THE
END OF THE COMMAND, IT IS NECESSARY. ALSO, REMEMBER TO ENTER THE
COMMAND WITH CONTROL-S, HIT RETURN. NEXT, THE MORE USEFUL METHOD OF
PULLING A FILE. ENTER THE FOLLOWING:
NM-FIRST,LAST.CA-HOUSE #,STREETNAME,STREETTYPE,TOWN,STATE,ZIPCODE.[CNTRL-S]
AS FOR THE NAME, YOU MUST HAVE THE FULL LAST NAME, BUT YOU ONLY NEED
TO ENTER THE FIRST INITIAL OR A PARTIAL NAME. FOR THE ADDRESS,
SPELLING THE STREETNAME AND TOWN CORRECTLY ARE IMPORTANT. ALSO, THE
ZIPCODE IS NOT IMPORTANT. YOU CAN JUST PUT THE PERIOD AFTER THE STATE
AND HIT ^S. STREETTYPE REFERS TO BLVD, ST, RD, LN, CT...ETC, YOU GET
THE IDEA...YOU CAN EITHER SPELL IT OUT OR USE THE COMMON
ABBREVIATION. FOR TOWNS OR STREETS WITH 2 WORDS, IE 'SEASIDE HEIGHTS'
ENTER IT EXACTLY AS IS, FOR EXAMPLE:
NM-LAMER,JOE.CA-666,WANKER,LN,SEASIDE HEIGHTS,NJ.^S
5: WHAT'S THIS WEIRD NUMBER SHIT?
WHEN YOU SUCCESSFULLY PULL A FILE, YOU'LL SEE SOMETHING LIKE THIS: SO
WHAT THE HELL DOES THIS SHIT MEAN? WELL, OBVIOUSLY, IT BEGINS WITH THE
PERSON'S NAME. NEXT IS THE PERSON'S PLACES OF RESIDENCE, BOTH
PRESENT AND PAST. THE NEXT LINE CONTAINS THE PERSON'S BIRTHDATE AND
SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, AND SOMETIMES THEIR AGE AS WELL.
THE FOLLOWING '01 ' TYPE LINES CONCERN THE PERSON'S
EMPLOYERS, AGAIN BOTH PRESENT AND PAST, WITH ADDRESSES FOR THEM.
OKAY, THIS IS A LITTLE MORE COMPLEX. THE M INDICATES THE PERIOD
DURING WHICH THIS PERSON HAS HAD CREDIT OF ANY KIND.
7: SAFE USE/ABUSE OF CBI
OKAY, SO YOU HAVE AN ACCOUNT AND YOU KNOW HOW TO USE IT, RIGHT? SO,
WHAT NEXT? WELL, FIRSTLY, YOU'D BETTER COVER YOUR ASS. AS I SAID
EARLIER, BE SURE TO CALL CBI THROUGH SOME SORT OF NUMBER-DIVERTING
SYSTEM. TO PRESERVE THE LIFE OF YOUR ACCOUNT AND PROTECT YOUR ASS,
YOU SHOULD ALSO TAKE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS. FIRST, TRY TO CALL
CBI DIALUPS ONLY DURING NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. TRY
NOT TO CALL AFTER 12:00 MIDNIGHT, AS THIS IS EXTREMELY SUSPICIOUS.
SECONDLY, NEVER PULL FILES SEQUENTIALLY FROM YOUR PHONE BOOK (MORE ON
THIS LATER). SKIP AROUND AS FAR AS LAST NAMES GO. THIRDLY, DON'T BE
GREEDY... DON'T PULL 100 FILES PER CALL...STICK TO 10-20, NO MORE
THAT 30. LASTLY, DON'T BOTHER PULLING THE FILE OF THE PRESIDENT. WE
ALREADY TRIED PULLING OLE' GEORGE'S FILE, BUT ALL WE GOT WAS HIS
SOCIAL SECURITY # AND A MESSAGE STATING THAT THAT FILE WAS 'NOT
AVAILABLE'.
8: WHO DO I PULL?
IT'S ESSENTIAL THAT YOU NEVER WASTE TIME ON CBI, AS ACCOUNTS ARE
VALUABLE AND NOT TO BE TRIFLED AWAY. NO, DON'T SPEND ALL YOUR TIME
PULLING YOUR FRIENDS FILES OR YOUR NEIGHBOR'S. GO FOR THE DOCTORS.
GET OUT YOUR LOCAL PHONE BOOK AND RUN THROUGH IT LOOKING FOR NAMES
WITH 'ATTORNEY', 'DR.', 'ESQ' AND SUCH AFTER THEM. THEN PULL THIER
FILES. ALSO, ITS NOT A GOOD IDEA TO ONLY PULL FILES FROM YOUR LOCAL
AREA... SO... RUN DOWN TO YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY. ALL LIBRARIES HAVE
PHONE DIRECTORIES FOR MAJOR CITIES NATIONWIDE. (DON'T BOTHER WITH THE
MANHATTAN GUIDE,AS NONE OF THOSE ADDRESSES ARE RESIDENTIAL ONES, ALL
OFFICES AND SUCH). AGAIN, TRY TO PULL THE FILES OF AFFLUENT FOLKS.
WHEN YOU TAKE AN ADDRESS FROM A PHONE BOOK, ALWAYS TRY TO MAKE SURE
IT ISN'T AN OFFICE ADDRESS. MANY DIRECTORIES WILL LIST BOTH OFFICE
AND 'RES' IE RESIDENTIAL NUMBERS AND ADDRESSES. YOU MUST HAVE THE
PERSON'S HOME ADDRESS TO PULL HIS/HER FILE. THERE ARE VARIOUS OTHER
WAYS TO GET PEOPLES NAMES AND ADDRESSES, SO BE CREATIVE AND HAVE FUN.
9: GETTING AN ACCOUNT
THIS IS THE REAL HARD PART. MOST PEOPLE SIMPLY TRADE AWAY THEIR
HARD-EARNED INFO FOR A CBI ACCOUNT. FRANKLY, THE FACT THAT FEW
PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO GET NEW ONES IS THE REASON WHY THERE ARE SO FEW IN
CIRCULATION. SO, ITS TIME FOR ALL YOU HACKS TO START GETTING THEM BUT
HOW, YOU MAY ASK? THERE ARE TWO WAYS. THE MOST COMMONLY USED WAY IS
TO SOCIAL-ENGINEER THEM. FLIP THRU YOUR LOCAL PHONE BOOK AND FIND A
SMALL CAR DEALERSHIP. CALL THEM UP. PRETEND YOU ARE A CBI OR EQUIFAX
EMPLOYEE. AGAIN, BE CREATIVE. IF YOU SOUND LIKE A 14YR OLD, OR IF YOU
CAN'T LIE TO SAVE YOUR ASS, DON'T TRY THIS. YOU'LL ONLY PHUCK THINGS
UP FOR THE REST OF US. DESIGN YOUR OWN SCAMS. BE CONVINCING. LEAVE
THEM A NUMBER TO CALL YOU BACK AT...A LOOP, OR BETTER YET, FIND A
NUMBER THATS ALWAYS BUSY OR, IF YOU HAVE ONE, SET UP A VMB TO ISSUE A
GREETING AS THE OFFICE OF THE PERSON WHO YOU ARE IMPERSONATING. IN
SHORT, BE DEVIOUS. AFTER ALL, YOU'RE A HACKER! METHOD TWO IS A BIT
MORE TOUGH. ALL CBI ACCOUNTS THAT I'VE EVER RUN INTO SO FAR TAKE ON
A SIMPLE FORMAT, PRESENTED ABOVE. NOW, YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THE
BEGINNING OF AN ACCOUNT (613BB2114). THE REASON FOR THIS IS THAT
THEY ARE ACCOUNTS. YES, THATS RIGHT, CBI IS NICE ENOUGH TO GIVE YOU
AN EXTENSIVE LISTING OF PARTIAL ACCOUNTS FOR ALL OF ITS SUBSCRIBERS.
ALL ACCOUNTS TAKE ON THIS FORMAT:
[3 NUMBERS][2 LETTERS[2-5 NUMBERS][A DASH][2 NUMBERS, NUMBER & LETTER OR 2 LETTERS]
QUAINT, YES? NOW, SINCE THE COMPANY CODES PROVIDE PARTS ONE THRU
THREE, ALL YOU NEED TO FIGURE OUT IS THE 2-CHARACTER CODE AFTER THE
DASH. IN ALL CASES I'VE SEEN SO FAR, THIS HAS BEEN A LETTER FOLLOWED
BY A NUMBER, BUT I AM NOT CERTAIN THAT THIS IS ALWAYS THE CASE.

WELL, THATS ALL FOR NOW. WITH THIS INFO, YOU NEOPHYTES SHOULD BE
QUITE CAPABLE OF USING THOSE CBI ACCOUNTS YOU'VE BEEN GLEEFULLY

TO MAKE THE LIVES OF THE VARIOUS LEGAL USERS OF THEIR SYSTEM EASIER,
CBI HAS ESTABLISHED NUMEROUS ACCESS POINTS TO THEIR DATABASE.
UNFORTUNATELY, AT THE TIMEOF THE WRITING OF THIS PHILE, I ONLY HAVE
TWO WORKING DIALUP FOR CBI. THEY ARE: 1-713-591-8100 HOUSTON, TEXAS
1-804-466-1619 NORFOLK, VIRGINIA ALSO, THE VOICELINE FOR CBI'S
'EQUIFAX CREDIT INFORMATION SERVICES' IS 1-201-842-7500. CALL IT AND
SOCIAL ENGINEER YOURSELF A DIALUP OR SIX.
ONCE YOU'RE READY TO CALL, CALL A CBI DIALUP DIRECTLY, OR JUST

4: HOW TO PULL FILES
ONCE YOU'RE IN, THERE ARE 2 BASIC COMMANDS THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO

NM-FIRST,LAST.CA-HOUSE #,STREETNAME,STREETTYPE,TOWN,STATE,ZIPCODE.[CNTRL-S]
AS FOR THE NAME, YOU MUST HAVE THE FULL LAST NAME, BUT YOU ONLY NEED
TO ENTER THE FIRST INITIAL OR A PARTIAL NAME. FOR THE ADDRESS,
SPELLING THE STREETNAME AND TOWN CORRECTLY ARE IMPORTANT. ALSO, THE
ZIPCODE IS NOT IMPORTANT. YOU CAN JUST PUT THE PERIOD AFTER THE STATE
AND HIT ^S. STREETTYPE REFERS TO BLVD, ST, RD, LN, CT...ETC, YOU GET

ENTER IT EXACTLY AS IS, FOR EXAMPLE:
NM-LAMER,JOE.CA-666,WANKER,LN,SEASIDE HEIGHTS,NJ.^S
5: WHAT'S THIS WEIRD NUMBER SHIT?
WHEN YOU SUCCESSFULLY PULL A FILE, YOU'LL SEE SOMETHING LIKE THIS: SO
WHAT THE HELL DOES THIS SHIT MEAN? WELL, OBVIOUSLY, IT BEGINS WITH THE
PERSON'S NAME. NEXT IS THE PERSON'S PLACES OF RESIDENCE, BOTH
PRESENT AND PAST. THE NEXT LINE CONTAINS THE PERSON'S BIRTHDATE AND
SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, AND SOMETIMES THEIR AGE AS WELL.
THE FOLLOWING '01 ' TYPE LINES CONCERN THE PERSON'S
EMPLOYERS, AGAIN BOTH PRESENT AND PAST, WITH ADDRESSES FOR THEM.
OKAY, THIS IS A LITTLE MORE COMPLEX. THE M INDICATES THE PERIOD
DURING WHICH THIS PERSON HAS HAD CREDIT OF ANY KIND.
7: SAFE USE/ABUSE OF CBI
OKAY, SO YOU HAVE AN ACCOUNT AND YOU KNOW HOW TO USE IT, RIGHT? SO,
WHAT NEXT? WELL, FIRSTLY, YOU'D BETTER COVER YOUR ASS. AS I SAID
EARLIER, BE SURE TO CALL CBI THROUGH SOME SORT OF NUMBER-DIVERTING
