I know all you major phone tappers are probably all sitting there going
|
||
|
|
"Oooooo! Ahhhhh!" and I know what you're saying... but this is for the
|
||
|
|
guys/girls who have some electrical knowledge, but not enough to put some-
|
||
|
|
thing together by themselves...(like this, anyway.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here we go.
|
||

I: THE BEIGE BOX
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also commonly referred to as the "Bud Box". This is extremely simple to
|
||
|
|
construct, and doesn't take much time.
|
||
|
|
First, get about a 12 foot phone cord. Regular. They cost about uh...$2.50
|
||
|
|
at K-Mart or something. Second, cut off one of the ends of it. (ie, cut the
|
||
|
|
little plastic thingy off). Third, cut some of the plastic stuff off; like
|
||
|
|
get a razor blade and cut it, but don't cut the wires inside. (Very tricky).
|
||
|
|
Fourth, when you see the wires inside, there should be a red, a green, a
|
||
|
|
yellow, and a black. Ignore the yellow and black. In fact, cut them off. Now
|
||
|
|
strip some of the little red and green plastic off. (Yes, with your razor
|
||
|
|
blade). Now get out your soldering gun! (Oh, did i forget to mention that?)
|
||
|
|
Now, get some solder and some alligator clips. (Available at Radio Shack for
|
||
|
|
about $1.10 for 10 of them). Now solder the green wire to one clip, and the
|
||
|
|
red to another.
|
||
|
|
Simple? You've finished your first phone 'tap'. Now, grab your fone, (ie,
|
||
|
|
the receiver), and head outside.
|
||
|
|
In your backyard, there should be a silver box with "BELL" written on it.
|
||
|
|
They're not that hard to find, usually, you can just look up at the telephone
|
||
|
|
poll and there are wires leading down. Anyway--pop off the little box. If it
|
||
|
|
doesn't budge, go grab a screwdriver. Now unscrew the big screw at the bottom
|
||
|
|
of the box. NOW pop it off. There should be screws and wires that look some-
|
||
|
|
thing like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*(red wire) *(green wire)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*(screw)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*(yellow) *(black)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Or something along those lines. The little asteriks are screws. Usually,
|
||
|
|
(at least around my neighborhood), the green alligator clip goes to the green
|
||
|
|
screw, and the red to the red. It could be different, however, so switch them
|
||
|
|
around if needed. I don't think the bottom screws are ever needed, unless the
|
||
|
|
house has another separate fone line. And be careful! I got shocked once, and
|
||
|
|
it wasn't very phun..
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Alright, so that's basic, and it's very easy to get caught with, so don't
|
||
|
|
try it unless your neighbors aren't going to be home for a long time, or are
|
||
|
|
on vacation. A neato nifty thing to do is to stick an automatic recorder in
|
||
|
|
their little box. (When i say 'their', I am referring to your victim's).
|
||
|
|
They're available at Radio Shack for $19. Pretty steep unless you're a rich
|
||
|
|
kid, which i'm not, but that's another story. So, you rip one off. (Haha,
|
||
|
|
joke... I do NOT condone stealing things). Ok, so anyway, you buy one from
|
||
|
|
Radio Shack for $19, use it until you don't need it anymore (up to 30 days,
|
||
|
|
usually), and then take it back... if it's in good condition. Anyway (for
|
||
|
|
the 4th time), you get a microcassette recorder (you can buy mine!) and
|
||
|
|
stick your little contraption in the silver Bell box. Then the recording
|
||
|
|
will start when they pick up the fone, and stop automatically when they're
|
||
|
|
done. Just make sure your neighbors don't check their Bell box often.
|
||
|
|
(And *REMEMBER*, the fine for evesdropping is 5 years and $10,000.. the
|
||
|
|
CHOICE is YOURS... hehehehe).

II: WIRELESS TRANSMITTER PLANS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a transmitter that consists on a one colpitts oscillator that
|
||
|
|
takes its power from the fone line. Since the resistance it puts on the
|
||
|
|
line is less that 100 ohms, it has no effect on the telephone performance,
|
||
|
|
and can't be detected by your neighbors or Ma Bell. Since it's a low-powered
|
||
|
|
device that doesn't use an antenna for radiation, it is legal to the FCC...
|
||
|
|
BUT--Not legal for what we're going to do with it!
|
||
|
|
What it does, is use four diodes to form a bridge rectifier. It produces
|
||
|
|
a varying DC voltage varying with the auto-signals on the line. That voltage
|
||
|
|
is used to supply the voltage for the oscillator transistor. Which is
|
||
|
|
connected to a radio circuit. From there, you can tune it to any channel you
|
||
|
|
want. The rest will be explained inn text.

|
|
L1 may be constructed by winding approx. 40 turns of No. 36 enamel wire
|
||
|
|
on a mega-ohm, 1/2 watt resistor. The value of L1 is not critical. L2 can be
|
||
|
|
made by wrapping 5 turns of No. 20 wire around a 1/4 inch form. After the wire
|
||
|
|
is wrapped, the form can be removed. Just solder it into place on the circuit
|
||
|
|
board. It should hold quite nicely. Also be sure to position Q1 so that the
|
||
|
|
emitter, base, and collector are in the proper hols. The schematic should be
|
||
|
|
pretty easy to follw. Although it has an unusual number of grounds, it still
|
||
|
|
works.

Ok, now go to the box, remove the red wire that was already on Screw 1,
|
||
|
|
and attach it to wire "A" of the bug. Then attach wire "B" to the screw
|
||
|
|
itself. You can adjust the frequency which it comes out on the FM channel
|
||
|
|
by either smashing, or widening thec coils of L2. It takes a few minutes to
|
||
|
|
get to work right, but it is also very versatile. You can change the frequen-
|
||
|
|
cy at will, and you can easily record off your radio.
