introduction
|
||
------------
|
||
|
||
have you ever wanted a lineman's handset? surely every phreak
|
||
has at least once considered the phun that he could have with one.
|
||
after searching unlocked phone company trucks for one for months, we
|
||
had an idea. we could build one. we did, and named it the "beige box,"
|
||
simply because that is the color of ours. in the following file we
|
||
will give complete instructions for the construction and use of a
|
||
beige box.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
------------
|
||
construction
|
||
------------
|
||
|
||
the construction is very simple. first, you must understand
|
||
the concept of the device. in a modular jack, there are four wires.
|
||
these are red, green, yellow, and black. for a single line telephone,
|
||
however, only two matter: the red (ring) and green (tip). the yellow
|
||
and black are not necessary for this project. a lineman's handset
|
||
only has two clips on it: the ring and the tip.
|
||
|
||
you will need a phone (we reccommend a touch-tone) with a
|
||
modular plug, a modular jack, and two large alligator clips
|
||
(preferably red and green, respectively). take the modular jack and
|
||
look at the bottom of its casing. there should be a grey jack with
|
||
four wires (red, green, yellow, and black) leading out of it. to the
|
||
end of the red wire attach a red alligator clip. to the end of the
|
||
green wire attach a green alligator clip. the yellow and black wires
|
||
can be removed, although i would only set them aside so that you can
|
||
use the modular jack in future projects. now insert your telephone's
|
||
modular plug into the modular jack. that's it.
|
||
|
||
this particular model is nice because it can be easily made,
|
||
is inexpensive, uses common parts that are readily available, is
|
||
small, is lightweight, and does not require the destruction of a
|
||
phone.
|
||
|
||
|

|
||
beige box uses
|
||
----- --- ----
|
||
|
||
there are many uses for the beige box. however, before you
|
||
can use it, you must know how to attach it to its output device. this
|
||
device can be any of several Rell switching apparatus that include
|
||
terminal sets (i.e., remote switching centers, bridging heads, cans,
|
||
etc.). to open most bell telephone switching apparatus, you must
|
||
have a 7/16 inch hex driver. this piece of equipment can be picked
|
||
up at your local hardware store. with your 7/16 hex driver, turn the
|
||
security bolt(s) approximately 1/8 of an inch counter-clockwise and
|
||
open. if your output device is locked, then you must have some
|
||
knowledge of destroying and/or picking locks. however, we have never
|
||
encountered a locked output device. once you have opened your output
|
||
device, you should see a mass of wires connected to terminals. on
|
||
most of your output devices, the terminals should be labeled "t" (tip
|
||
-- if not labeled, it is usually on the left) and "r" (ring -- if not
|
||
labeled, it is usually on the right). remember: ring - red - right.
|
||
the "three r's" -- a simple way to remember which is which.
|
||
|
||
now you must attach the red alligator clip (ring) to the
|
||
"r" (ring) terminal. attach the green alliagtor clip (tip) to the
|
||
"t" (tip) terminal. note: if instead of a dial tone you hear nothing,
|
||
re-adjust the alligator clips so that they are not touching each other
|
||
or other terminals. also make sure that they are firmly attached.
|
||
by this time you should hear a dial tone. dial ani and find out the
|
||
number that you are using (you wouldn't want to use your own).
|
||
|
||
here are some practical applications:
|
||
o eavesdropping
|
||
o long distance, static-free phone calls to phriends
|
||
o dialing direct to alliance conferencing (also static-
|
||
free)
|
||
o phucking people over
|
||
o bothering the operator at little risk to yourself
|
||
o blue boxing with a greatly reduced chance of getting
|
||
caught
|
||
o anything at all that you want, since you are an
|
||
extension on that line
|
||
|
||
|
||
eavesdropping:
|
||
-------------
|
||
|
||
to be most effective, first attach the beige box and then your
|
||
phone. this eliminates static caused by connecting the box, therefore
|
||
reducing the potential suspicion of your victim. when eavesdropping,
|
||
it is always best to be neither seen nor heard. if you hear someone
|
||
dialing out, do not panic; but rather hang up, wait, and pick up the
|
||
receiver again. the person will either have hung up or tried to
|
||
complete their call again. if the latter is true, then listen in, and
|
||
perhaps you will find information worthy of blackmail! if you would
|
||
like to know who you are listening to, after dialing ani, pull a cn/a
|
||
on the number.
|
||
|
||
|
||
dialing long distance:
|
||
------- ---- --------
|
||
|
||
this section is self-explanatory, but don't forget to dial a
|
||
"1" before the npa.
|
||
|
||
|
||
dialing direct to alliance conferencing:
|
||
------- ------ -- -------- ------------
|
||
|
||
simply dial 0-700-456-1000 and you will get instructions from
|
||
there. i prefer this method over pbxs, since pbxs often have poor
|
||
reception and are more difficult to come by.
|
||
|
||
|
||
phucking people over:
|
||
-------- ------ ----
|
||
|
||
this is a very large topic for discussion. just by using the
|
||
other functions described, you can create a large phone bill for the
|
||
person (they will not have to pay it, but it is a hassle for them).
|
||
in addition, since you are an extension of the person's line, leave
|
||
your phone off hook, and they will not be able to make or recieve
|
||
calls. this can be extremely nasty because no one would suspect the
|
||
cause of the problem.
|
||
|
||
|
||
bothering the operator:
|
||
--------- --- --------
|
||
|
||
this is also self-explanatory and can provide hours of
|
||
entertainment. simply ask or say things to her that are offensive and
|
||
you would not like traced to your line. this also corresponds with the
|
||
previous described section, phucking people over. after all, guess
|
||
|
||
tYPE NUMBER TO READ, "l" TO LIST OVER,
|
||
OR "q" TO QUIT.
