Every true phreaker lives in fear of the dredded F.B.I. 'Lock in Trace.' For
|
|||
|
|
a long time, 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.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
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 trace 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 electricity 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 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. 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 level. 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
|
|||
|
|
out.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
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.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Materials needed- a BEOC (Basic Elictrical 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 traced 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 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
|
|||
|
|
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 see why...) then just cut
|
|||
|
|
the top off. When you look inside, low 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 and inch ahead of the prongs. If you
|
|||
|
|
don't wanna keep the jack, then just rip the prongs out. If you are, cover the
|
|||
|
|
prongs with insultation 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. If you
|
|||
|
|
happen to have the other end of the voltage cord hooked into the phone, stop
|
|||
|
|
reading now, your 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 cram all the wires into the and reclose it. That
|
|||
|
|
box is your ticket out of this.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3)Re-check everything to make sure it's all in place. This is a pretty flimsy
|
|||
|
|
connection, but on later models when you get more experienced at it then you
|
|||
|
|
can sauder 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 it, just keep 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, unplug it and restart the WHOLE thing. But if
|
|||
|
|
it just seems fine then leave 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, unplug
|
|||
|
|
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 open 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.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Happy boxing and stay free!
