INTRODUCTION
------------
Unlike most of my previous text files this text file has been written for ex
pirienced hackers. What does that mean? Well if you are a beginner that means
you probably wont understand most of this and should not attempt to hack TRW. I
f you are expirienced then go right ahead...

HACKING TRW
-----------
When you connect up to TRW, the dialup will identify itself with the
message "TRW". It will then wait for you to type the appropriate answer-
back (such as CTRL-G). Once this has been done, the system will print out
some numbers and then "CIRCUIT BUILDING IN PROCESS". After this, it clears
the screen with a CTRL-L followed by a CTRL-Q. After it sends you the CTRL-Q, i
t is ready for you to log in. You first type in the 4 character identifying
code for the location you are.
SOME EXAMPLES ARE:
TCA1 - For certain California Subscribers.
TCA2 - A second California TRW system.
TNJ1 - A New Jersey Database.
TGA1 - A Georgia Database.
You should then hit return. On the next line, you must type your 3 charact
er option. Most requests use the RTS option. OPX, RTX, and some others exist.
(Note: TRW accepts an A, C, or S as the X in some options.) Then you would the
n type in a 7 digit subscriber code followed by a 3-4 character password. It se
ems that if you manage to get hold of a TRW printout (by trashing a business), t
he subscriber code will be on it, leaving only a 3-4 character password for you
to hack.
EXAMPLE LOGON
-------------
Set your communications program as follows:
Half Duplex, Even Parity, 7 Data Bits and 2 Stop Bits

ATDT 741-6016
CONNECT
System: TRW
User : CTRL-G
System: -1017-101-
Circuit building in process
CTRL-L CTRL-Q
User : TCA1 (RETURN)
System:
User : RTS 1234567ABC (RETURN) CTRL-S
NOTE: If you: **system error** it just means you entered an invalid code, and it
will start you over.
CONCLUSION

cking TRW. If you have any problems and have access to the Internet I can be ma
