               HACKING DUN & BRADSTREET

   Dun & Bradstreet is like TRW, except it is for businesses. It
allows users to check out financial records as well as other
statistics about a company. It is everything you always wanted
to know about your local rip-off store (&owner) or a corporate
piglomeration, but were afraid to ask.

   To logon, dial one of their #'s, such as: 212-619-4600,
201-277-400, Telenet (C 20188), or Tymnet (Term:A, LOGON:RPTS,
PASS:NOW).

   Once on, type RPTS <CR>, followed by another <CR>, followed
by PRNT <CR>. It will then ask you for your password, which is
in the format of : ######/PASSWORD.

   For example, 001779 is a demo account. The old password was
DEMOO, but they got smart. If this still worked, you would type
001779/DEMO. See if you can figure out a new password for this
account.

   Once you have a password, it wil] give you a syort menu, such
as: 'P=PAR REPORT, D=DFT ORDER', etc. When it says ENUUR
SELECTION:, type P. It will then say ENTER INQUIRY:, here you
type the business name or cyaracters to search for. It will then
say ENTER CITY:, and enter it. Enter the 2-letter state
abbreviation when it says ENTER STATE:. At the next question,
answer P for par.

   Then give a <CR> when it asks for an endorsement.

   It will then give you a list of businesses that match the
letter(s) that you inputted.

   Type the # of the one that you want. When it says ENTER
SELECTION: again,type F for a Full Report. When it says PRINT
NOW?, type Yes and whalla, a perfect 80-column printout on the
business. This is just the basic report; fool around with the
menus for other options.

   In a big effort to defeat us, D & B called in an outside
service to spruce up their 'security'. Well, fortunately for us,
we were able to find out about the new system! First, they had
the new dial-ups when you logged on, and as always, they have a
nice little place on Telenet! (C 20188).

   Now, they have set up a new system they like to call DunsNet.
They are trying to pass it off as a big savings of time, since
the hassle of using a time shared public network does not exist.
We're sure that Mr. J.W.P of DUNSPRINT had more on his mind when
he wrote the letter (on the system)! DunsNet is accessible from
a regular dial-up. We have not been able to get a number yet for
this system, but once on, it allegedly works just like Telenet!
Two carriage returns and you will see 'DunsNet' then the
familiar 7@' symbol. To use the system like we showed you, type
'RPTS' at this prompt. To see Duns Financial Profiles, type
'DFP'. Finally, to use the Official Airline Guide, type 'OAG'.
