(A BASIC LESSON IN THE ART OF LISTENING IN)

PART I: THE LAW
w:
Section 605 of tital 47 of the U.S code, forbids interception
of communication, or divulagance of intercepted communication
exept by persons outlined in section 119 of tital 18 (a portion
of the Omnibus crime controll and safe streets act of 1968).
This act states that "It shall not be unlawfull under this act
for an operator of a switchboard, or an officer, employe, or
agent of any communication common carrier who's switching system
is used in the transmision of a wire communication to intercept
or disclose intercepted communication."
hat all this legal bullshit is saying is that if you don't work
for a phone company then you cant go around tapping people's
lines. If you decide to anyway, and get caught, it could cost you
up to 5 years of your life and $10,000. This, you are all
assuming means that if you tap someone eles's line, you will be
punished....wrong! You can't tap your own line either. The
punishment for this is probably no more than a slap on the hand,
that is if they actually catch you, but it's a good thing to
know..............now on to the fun.....
PART II: TAPPING
verone has at sometime wanted to hear what a friend, the
principal, the prom queen, or a nighbor has to say on the phone.
There are several easy ways to tap into a phone line. None of the
methods that I present will involve actully entering the house.
You can do everything from the backyard. I will discuss four
methods of tapping a line. They go in order of increasing
difficulty.
1. The " beige box ": a beige box (or bud box) is actually better
known as a "lineman" phone. They are terribly simple to
construct, and are basically the easiest method to use. They
consist of nothing more than a phone with the modualr plug that
goes into the wall cut off, and two alligator clips attached to
the red and green wires. The way to use this box, is to venture
into the yard of the person you want to tap, and put it onto his
line. This is best done at the bell phone box that is usually
next to the gas meter. It should only have one screw holding it
shut, and is very easily opened. Once you are in, you should see
4 screws with wires attached to them. If the house has one line,
then clip the red lead to the first screw, and the green to the
second. you are then on the "tappie's" phone. You will hear any
conversation going on. I strongly recomend that you remove the
speaker from the phone that your using so the "tappie" can't
hear evcery sound you make. If the house has two lines, then the
second line is on screws three and four. If you connect
everything right, but you dont get on the line, then you probably
have the wire's backward. Swich the red to the second screw and
the green to the first. If no conversation is going on, you may
realize that you cant tap the phone very well because you don't
want to sit there all night, and if you are on the phone, then
the poor tappie can't dial out, and that could be bad...so.......
method two.
2. The recorer: This method is probably the most widespread, and
you still don't have to be a genius to do it. There are LOTS of
ways to tape conversations. The two easiest are either to put a
"telephone induction pickup" (radio shack $1.99) on the biege box
you were using, then pluging it into the microphone jack of a
small tape recoder, and leaving it on record. Or pluging the
recorder right into the line. This can be done by taking a
walkman plug, and cutting off the earphones, then pick one of the
two earphone wires, and strip it. There should be another wire
inside the one you just stripped. Strip that one too, and attach
aligators to them. Then follow the biege box instructions to tape
the conversation. In order to save tape, you may want to use a
voice activated recorder (Radio shack $59), or if your recorder
