==Phrack Inc.== Volume Three, Issue 30, File #3 of 12 [-][-] [-][-] [-][-] [-][-] [-][-] [-][-] [-][-] [-] [-] [-] Hacking & Tymnet [-] [-] [-] [-] by [-] [-] [-] [-] Synthecide [-] [-] [-] [-][-] [-][-] [-][-] [-][-] [-][-] [-][-] [-][-] There are literally hundreds of systems connected to some of these larger networks, like Tymnet and Telenet. Navigation around these networks is very simple, and usually well explained in their on-line documentation. Furthermore, some systems will actually tell you what is connected and how to get to it. In the case of Tymnet, after dialing in, at the log in prompt, type "information" for the on-line documentation. Accessing systems through networks is as simple as providing an address for it to connect to. The best way to learn about the addresses and how to do things on a network is to read "A Novice's Guide to Hacking (1989 Edition)" which was in Issue 22, File 4 of 12, Volume Two (December 23, 1988). Some points are re-iterated here. Once on a network, you provide the NUA (network user address) of the system you wish to connect to. NUAs are strings of 15 digits, broken up in to 3 fields, the NETWORK ADDRESS, the AREA PREFIX, and the DNIC. Each field has 5 digits, and are left padded with 0's where necessary. The DNIC determines which network to take the address from. Tymnet, for example, is 03106. 03110 is Telenet. The AREA PREFIX and NETWORK ADDRESS determine the connection point. By providing the address of the system that you wish to connect to, you will be accessing it through the net... as if you were calling it directly. Obviously, then, this provides one more level of security for access. By connecting to an outdial, you can increase again the level of security you enjoy, by using the outdial in that area to connect to the remote system. Addendum -- Accessing Tymnet Over Local Packet Networks This is just another way to get that extra step and/or bypass other routes. This table is copied from Tymnet's on-line information. As said earlier, it's a great resource, this on-line information!
