True Definition Of The Phreaker
|
||
|
|
-------------------------------
|
||
|
|
"Many people think of phone phreaks as slime, out to rip off Bell for
|
||
|
|
all she is worth. 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 need to communicate with other phreaks, without
|
||
|
|
going broke, leads to free calls. The free calls are but a small subset of
|
||
|
|
a >TRUE< phone phreak's activities."

The Phone Phreak's Ten Commandments
|
||
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
||
|
|
I. Box thou not over thine home telephone wires, for those who doest
|
||
|
|
will surely bring the wrath of the Chief Special Agent down upon thy head.
|
||
|
|
II. Speakest thou not of important matters over thine home telephone
|
||
|
|
wires, for to do so is to risk thine right of freedom.
|
||
|
|
III. Use not thine own name when speaking to other phreaks, for that
|
||
|
|
every third phreak is an FBI agent is well known.
|
||
|
|
IV. Let not overly many people know that thy be a phreak, as to do so
|
||
|
|
is to use thine own self as a sacrificial lamb.
|
||
|
|
V. If thou be in school, strive to get thine self good grades, for the
|
||
|
|
authorities well know that scholars never break the law.
|
||
|
|
VI. If thou workest, try to be an employee and impressest thine boss
|
||
|
|
with thine enthusiasm, for important employees are often saved by their own
|
||
|
|
bosses.
|
||
|
|
VII. Storest thou not thine stolen goodes in thine own home, for those
|
||
|
|
who do are surely non-believers in the Bell System Security Forces, and are
|
||
|
|
not long for this world.
|
||
|
|
VIII. Attractest thou not the attention of the authorities, as the
|
||
|
|
less noticeable thou art, the better.
|
||
|
|
IX. Makest sure thine friends are instant amnesiacs and willst not
|
||
|
|
remember thou hast called illegally, for their cooperation with the
|
||
|
|
authorities willst surely lessen thine time for freedom on this earth.
|
||
|
|
X. Supportest thou TAP, as it is thine newsletter, and without it, thy
|
||
|
|
work would be far more limited.
