                      How to exploit ANI!!!
******************************************************************************

what it is:

    Automatic Number Identification - think!

what it is good for:

   - Fun, if you get off on some recording sayng the number you are calling 
from.

    -Phun, if you know how to use it.

Well, i'm sure you already know how to get off, so i'll expand on the second 
case. First off, you will need a knowledge of what diverters are. This is the
safest (in my opinion) form of phreaking. Or, for the more dangerous kind, 
Beige boxing, or many other kinds. Here we go:

    Diverter - I can't really define one, but here's a story so you see how 
they work: Sally calls up a 24 HOUR (important) plumber because her water 
broke (hehe) at 2:00 am. Now we all know that no plumber in his (or her, to 
be politically correct) right mind would be waiting in the plumber's office
24 hours a day. "What happens, then?" you say? Well, it's simple. When the 
plumber leaves for the day, he turns the diverter on. Then, when a call comes
in at 2:00 am, the call is DIVERTED to his home phone number. "So what good
does that do me?" you ask? Well, here's one thing you can do:

1. Get a good quality Ginsu 2000 butcher knife.
2. Shove it through your neck, being sure to sever the windpipe.
3. Die. Slowly. 

If that wasn't your question, good. Well here's what you really do:

1. Call the plumber, etc. (anything 24 hours).
2. Wait for him to hang up. (In the meantime, you can do whatever).
3. Wait for dial tone.
4. Dial the ANI number to see what number you're calling from.
5. If it is NOT your number, then go on and call Tokyo or your favorite BBS.
   (You can figure out how).
6. If it IS your number, call Tokyo anyway, if you need me to tell you what to
   do.

Since ANI's use is only limited by your imagination, here is the use of ANI
in beige boxing:

If you don't know what a beige box is, follow the procedure outlined involving
the Ginsu knife. If you do, then the use is obvious: when you have a line, 
don't you want to make sure it isn't your own? Also, if you have that number,
you can find out whose it is, then intercept calls, blackmail, etc. (again, 
the uses are only limited by your imagination). 

Personally, I have only tried the diverter scheme (as of this writing). 
However, i'm sure that the beige box works, but i'll find out soon enough.

Now, for the truly juicy part:

*******************************************************************************
        ANI numbers that work as of 12/19/93!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*******************************************************************************

1-800-200-HOTT - I know, it IS a sex line. Well, true. But they bill your phone
                 number right? Well, are they just going to trust you with the
                 one you give? I think not. How to use it: 

1. Call the number (Really! You have to if this is going to work!).
2. When the lame recording starts ("Hi sexy..."), then hit the * key on your 
   phone. 
3. Listen through the B.S. and then they'll eventually give you the ten digits
   of your number in the format (###) ###-####. 
4. Hang up, unless you are really bored and lonely and desparate and a loser
   and then follow the Ginsu knife procedure.

1-800-80-VENUS - Same as above.

The great thing about this ANI list is the fact that they are phree calls! Of 
course, there are other ANI numbers in the boonies out there, and if you find
one for youre NPA (area code), you're a true stud. These numbers are NPA 
specific 3 or 4 digit combos, which is why they're so tough to find. 

NPA-specific ANI's -

NPA                 ANI #
213                 1223
408                 760
914                 990

Well, that should get you off to a good start. Credit goes to Aqualung who found 
the 1-800 numbers, and to ??? for the other numbers. Greets to: El Modena High
