[PHONE] Dana's voicemail

[Marduk]

Why yes I have.

Call her number and while she's talking, hit *. It asks for the password... any ideas?

On the IRC channel we tried quite a few passwords. Unfortunately, it eventually "locked-out" the account

In case it opens back up, here's how you access the remote-access features of the voice-mail system.

1. Call 415-248-2617 (the number found in the reverse DNS numbers)
2. Press 0 as soon as you hear Dana.
3. Press 1 when you hear the directory.
4. Dial your password (we're guessing it's probably a 4-digit number) and press #
5. Redial the voicemail number ( 415-248-2617) and press #

Good luck, guys!

Well, I guess I've been Trouted on that address thing. But that's cool, I just jumped on today.

But, on the voicemail, when you press * at the announcement, it asks for a password, assumedly 4 digit, however then it requests the box #, assumedly also a 4 digit code. Has this also been noted?

This seems to indicate we are not going to be able to simply try the 9999 possible combinations for the password, but actually need to solve what both password and box number are.

While it would be nice to get into the mailbox... I don't think it would do much good. All that it will do is get all of the hangups she kept talking about. But could lead to a clue.

I think it is the same deal as the hotmail account. Since both are managed by a real (in-game) person (dana) and there is no question of 'mysterious voicemails' possibly being left... we have no reason to want to break into it. In addition, if we were told not to hack her hotmail, then we can assume the same goes for the voicemail if we were to ask her.

[Etymologician]

I wouldn't be suprised if there's a message from Aunt M on there, or something similar. I have a feeling that Dana's holding something back. I think the hotmail is pretty clearly a dead end, but we haven't found anything useful from the voicemail yet.

Thanks Grym,

I thought about that after I posted last, and I think you are right. It seems rather cumbersome though if that were a person's real voicemail to have to dial a 10 digit phone number, followed by a 4 digit code, then repeat the 10 digit phone number, thus needed 24 key strokes just to check ones voicemail.

But being that this isn't "reality" I agree that the box # is the 10 digit phone number. So this leads me to my question, do we have a list of the 4 digit passcodes that have been tried. I heard someone mention Wiki, but I haven't found a list yet. We could probably crack this sucker with a few people taking like 20 code numbers apiece, and working through the 9999 possibilities.

Of course, the voice mail box is now locked because of too many incorrect attempts (so sayeth another poster... i think over in the recipe thread, as a possible 4 digit number was found there). The makers of code based systems now understand brute forcing and have set up counters to lock it down if too many attempts are made.

Has anyone called the main number for the voicemail provider?

It says that if you are having trouble getting onto the account, to call 1-800-464-4444. Maybe it is a purchased / rented voice mail box system, or just a box someone setup somewhere?

btw, punching that into google calculated that to -5707, i have to run but that may be another valid pin number. Who knows, if this isn't really a voicemail system at all, we may get another tip / clue.
