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 canconstruct 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
|
||
|
||
lineup. 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 s

Hello Peter The Pack Rat
|
||
|
||
Hey there Pte. ete... be ho wbe live treating you?
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
ok. what's up with you.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|

Horns
|
||
|

Hornsby... well, heck..... so what's up with everyone in the big OK? hehe
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Oh, noi t much really.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
And you ch ecked thi on this your self right? hehehe... Oh well.... .....
|
||
heck, you
|
||
|
||
you're no phun to talk to you ..... does the word BORING mean an ]ything?!?!
|
||
Come
|
||
|
||
on, tell me a bout the time you rob the 7-11 or something neato like dat!
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Ok yeah....sure. I'm really in not a good mood, so I called up to check out
|
||
som
|
||
|
||
some gfiles and cheer myself up...
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
What else to cheer one up than 'how to make a nuclear bomb in your own kitchen
|
||
|
||
|
||
sink on a tr ranin raining weekend" ' or something like that, cheers me
|
||
up all the time, e
|
||
|
||
espeically '1001 ways to kill MOM!' hehe
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
yep. I love em. Get's me in the violent mood.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Oh shit, you're b not going to like tear up the board now are youi? ?
|
||
HEhehe... OH
|
||
|
||
well, if you don't, I will. Hehe, okokokokok, I know when I'mbeing a pest
|
||
(and
|
||
|
||
(and I love it too... thi s IS my violent mood, troubling users on the board,
|
||
pl
|
||
|
||
playing God, power trips with the big D key (delete) etc.. you know, SYSOPING!
|
||
|
||
|
||
hehehe seeya!

|
||
Operation resumed
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
hould give you
|
||
|
||
an understanding of how calling works, also. When electricity`passes through
|
||
|
||
a certain point onyour phone, the electricity causes a bell to ring or on
|
||
|
||
some newer phones anelectronic 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 thephone line, then the voltage does decrease a little. In the
|
||
|
||
first steps ofplanning this out, Xerox suggested getting about a hundred
|
||
|
||
phones all hookedinto 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 restrain or 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 cutthe 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 eahc other, then cover the whole
|
||
|
||
thing with the plugs with insulating tape. Then, if you built your own
|
||
|
||
control boxor 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,
|
||
|
||
un plug 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!
