|
HOW TO BE A REAL PHREAK
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
IN THE PHONE PHREAK SOCIETY THERE ARE CERTAIN VALUES THAT EXIST IN ORDER TO
|
|||
|
|
BE A TRUE PHREAK, THESE ARE BEST SUMMED UP BY THE MAGICIAN: "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. OCCASIONALY THIS EXPERIMENTING, AND A
|
|||
|
|
NEED 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 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 "WHAT THE HELL IS TAP?" AND TELL
|
|||
|
|
THEM THAT BIOC AGENT 003 TOLD YOU ABOUT IT.)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THE PHONE PHREAK'S TEN COMMANDMENTS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I. BOX THOU NOT OVER THINE HOME TELEPHONE WIRES, FOR THOSE WHO DOEST MUST
|
|||
|
|
SURELY BRING THE WRATH OF THE CHIEF SPECIAL AGENT DOWN UPON THY HEADS.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
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 THIN SELF GOOD GRADES, FOR THE
|
|||
|
|
AUTHORITIES WELL KNOW THAT SCHOLARS NEVER BREAK THE LAW.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
VI. IF THOU WORKEST, TRY TO BE A 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
|
|||
|
|
NOTICABLE THOU ART, THE BETTER.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
IX. MAKEST SURE THINE FRIENDS ARE INSTANT AMNESIACS AND WILL NOT REMEMBER
|
|||
|
|
THAT THOU HAVE CALLED ILLEGALLY, FOR THEIR COOPERATION WITH THE AUTHORITIES
|
|||
|
|
WILL SURELY LESSEN THINE TIME FOR FREEDOM ON THIS EARTH.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
X. SUPPORTEST THOU TAP, AS IT IS THINE NEWSLETTER, AND WITHOUT IT, THY
|
|||
|
|
WORK WILL BE FAR MORE LIMITED.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
CN/A NUMBERS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
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 RESIDENTAL SERVICE CENTER, CAN I HAVE THE CUSTOMERS 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 CALLING.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||

|
THE CN/A NUMBER FOR THE NY AREA & VICINITY (212, 315, 516, 518, 607, 716, &

|
|
AT&T NEWSLINES ARE NUMBERS AT AREA PHONE OFFICES THAT TELCO EMPLOYEES CALL TO
|
|||
|
|
FIND OUT THE LATEST INFO ON NEW TECHNOLOGY, STOCKS, ETC. THE RECORDED
|
|||
|
|
REPORTS RANGE FROM VERY BORING TO VERY INTERESTING.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
HERE ARE A FEW OF THE NUMBERS:
|
|||
|
|
*(201) 483-3800 NJ (518) 471-2272 NY
|
|||
|

|
|
SOME OF THESE NUMBERS ARE TOLL-FREE, BUT YOU CAN'T ALWAYS COUNT ON IT.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* THESE NUMBERS ARE NOT ALWAYS UP!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
NUMBERS FROM OTHER AREAS ARE AVAILABLE BY REQUEST FROM F)BIOC L)AGENT 003.
|
|||
|
|
ANI NUMBERS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
ANI NUMBERS IDENTIFY THE PHONE NUMBER THAT YOU ARE CALLING FROM. IT IS
|
|||
|
|
USEFUL WHEN PLAYING IN CANS (THOSE BIG SILVER BOXES ON TELEPHONE POLES) TO
|
|||
|
|
FIND OUT THE # OF THE LINE. IT IS ALSO GOOD TO FIND OUT THE # OF A PHONE
|
|||
|
|
THAT DOESN'T HAVE IT PRINTED ON IT. 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
|
|||
|
|
ANI # WHICH WILL IDENTIFY THE AREA CODE & EXCHANGE. IT IS NXX-9901, WHERE
|
|||
|
|
NXX IS THE EXCHANGE. IN THE 212 & 516 AREA CODES THE ANI # IS 958.

BLACK BOX
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THE BLACK BOX IS A DEVICE THAT ATTACHED TO A CALLED PARTIES PHONE THAT
|
|||
|
|
ALLOWS HIM/HER TO RECEIVE FREE LONG DISTANCE CALLS FROM FRIENDS WHO CALL.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
YOU ONLY NEED 2 PARTS: A SPST TOGGLE SWITCH AND A 10,000 OHM (10 K), 1/2
|
|||
|
|
WATT, 10% RESISTOR. ANY 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 TERMINAL). 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 PREAR- RANGED 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 CALLS 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 WILL BE CUT OFF WHEN YOU HANG UP
|
|||
|
|
AND SWITCH TO FREE.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
WARNING: BELL CAN RANDOMLY LOOK FOR
|
|||
|
|
BLACK BOXES SO BE CAREFUL!

DIAL LOCKS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN AN OFFICE OR SOMEWHERE AND WANTED TO MAKE A FREE FONE
|
|||
|
|
CALL BUT SOME ASSHOLE PUT A LOCK ON THE FONE TO PREVENT OUT-GOING CALLS?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
FRET NO MORE PHELLOW PHREAKS, FOR EVERY SYRTEM 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 CIRCUT BUT NOT LONG ENOUGH TO HANG UP! SO 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 4 X'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 ALSO 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 -

|
|||

|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|
(SEE 9941) 9968 - TONE THAT DISAPPEARS--RESPONDS
|
|||
|
|
TO CERTAIN TOUCH-TONE KEYS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
MOST OF THE NUMBERS BETWEEN 9900 & 9999 WILL RING OR GO TO A "WHAT #,
|
|||
|
|
PLEASE?" OPERATOR.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
HAVE PHUN AND REMEMBER IT'S ONLY A LOCAL CALL!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
TOUCH-TONE & FREE CALLS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
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 WORKING 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 DIGITSl IT WILL REPEAT WHAT YOU HAVE SAID, THEN SAY YES
|
|||
|
|
IF IT IS CORRECT, 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
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
4. USE A CHARGE-A-CALL FONE. (THESE ALSO MAKE GREAT EXTENTIONS 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.

|
THE GOOD 'OL DAYS: ------------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
WAY BACK BEFORE I WAS A PHREAK, MA BELL WOULD HAVE TO MANUALLY TRACE A CALL
|
|||
|
|
IF THEY THOUGH SOMETHING WAS FUCKED UP. FIRST THEY WOULD SEND A 2000 HZ
|
|||
|
|
TRACING TONE, THE WOULD BE FOLLOWED B ALOT OF NOISE AND CLICKS. IT TOOK
|
|||
|
|
ABOUT 2-3 MINUTES TO TRACE A CALL AND ALOT OF PEOPLE WERE INVOLVED IN THE
|
|||
|
|
PROCESS. SO AT 1 IN THE MORNING THEY WOULD HAVE TO WAKE UP PEOPLE FOT THE
|
|||
|
|
TRACEES (PHREAK JARGON FOR A PAY FONE). BUT NEVER USE THE SAME ONE MORE THAN
|
|||
|
|
ONCE OR TWICE BECAUSE THE GESTAPO(ER..EXCUSE ME MEAN BELL SECURITY) HAS BEEN
|
|||
|
|
KNOW FOR STAKING OUT TROUBLED FORTRESSES. IT'S ALSO POSSIBLE FOR TRAVELNET OR
|
|||
|
|
SP TO ASK FOR A TROUBLE # BUT THE TELCO IS SLOW IN PROCESSING
|
|||
|
|
STUFF--ESPECIALLY FOR THE COMPETITION--SO DON'T FRET PHELLOW PHREAKS.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
MODERN TECHNOLOGY: ------------------ THIS CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO ESS + CCIS
|
|||
|
|
WHICH CAN BE TRACED IN 1 SECOND.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
MISCELLANEOUS STUFF
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
HERE ARE A PHEW (PUSHING IT ON THAT WORD) BITS OF INFO ON TELEPHONE ELEC-
|
|||
|
|
TRONICS. IF YOU DON'T APPRECIATE IT THEN I SAY PHUCK U.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
VOLTAGES:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
WHEN YOUR FONE IS ON-HOOK (IE-HUNG UP) THERE IS A 4 8 VOLT DC CURRENT FLOWING
|
|||
|
|
THROUGH THE LINE ( I HAVE A GREAT IDEA ABOUT HOOKING A BATTERY CHARGER UP TO
|
|||
|
|
MY FONE ). WHEN THE FONE IS OFF-HOOK THE VOLTAGE DROPS DOWN TO AROUND 15VDC.
|

THE BLACK BOX (SEE SEPARATE ARTICLES) EXPLOITS THIS FOR FREE CALLS SINCE BELL
|
|||
|
|
USES THIS VOLTAGE DROP WHEN THE CALLED PARTY PICKS UP TO START BILLING. BELL
|
|||
|
|
MAY ALSO REVERSE THE POLARITY OF THE LINE TO START BILLING--IF YOU HAVE A
|
|||
|
|
TONE FONE THE`KEYPAD WON'T WORK IF THE POLARITY IS REVERSED. USUALLY, THE
|
|||
|
|
RED WIRE IS CALLED THE TIP SINCE IT IS THE MORE (+) OF THE 2 WIRES + THE
|
|||
|
|
GREEN WIRE IS CALLED THE RING (-).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
RING TRIP:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
WHEN SOMEONE CALLS YOU BELL HAS TO SEND 90 VOLTS AC DOWN YOUR LINE AT ABOUT
|
|||
|
|
60 HZ TO ACTIVATE YOUR BELL (THIS IS WHY DEAF PEOPLE CAN HAVE LIGHT BULBS
|
|||
|
|
FANS GO OFF INSTEAD OF A BELL). THE DEVICE THAT DOES THE RINGING IS CALLED A
|
|||
|
|
RINGING GENERATOR AND THE PROCESS OF RINGING IS CALLED A RING TRIP. THIS
|
|||
|
|
COSTS BELL MONEY AND THEY DON'T LIKE USING ALL THAT ELECTRICITY FROM THE
|
|||
|
|
LOCAL RIP-OFF POWER COMPANY- SO LET IT RING. THIS IS ALSO, HOW BELL CAN
|
|||
|
|
CHECK FOR EXTRA FONES FROM THEIR CENTRAL OFFICE BY SEEING HOW MUCH VOLTAGE
|
|||
|
|
THE LINE TAKES WHILE RINGING AND THEY CAN TELL HOW MANY FONES YOUR NOT
|
|||
|
|
SUPPOSE TO HAVE. SOLUTION: DISCONNECT THE BELL.

MODERN TECHNOLOGY: ------------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THE 2 WORST ENEMIES TO THE PHREAK BESIDES THE FBI + BELL SECURITY,ARE: ESS +
|
|||
|
|
CCIS. ESS STANDS FOR ELECTRONIC SWITHCING SYSTEM AND IT CAN TRACE A CALL IN
|
|||
|
|
SECONDS, IT ALSO RECORDS ALL CALLS AND CAN EVEN TAP INTO LINES (ER.. I MEAN
|
|||
|
|
CHECK FOR LINE QUALITY) AND RECORD CALLS. CCIS STANDS FOR COMMON CHANNEL
|
|||
|
|
INTER-OFFICE SIGNALING AND IT ALLOWS FOR CONTROL SIGNALS TO BE SENT VIA
|
|||
|
|
SEPARATE DATA LINKS INSTEAD OF TONES OVER THE VOICE CHANNEL--START KISSING
|
|||
|
|
YOUR BLUE BOX GOODBYE.
