|
||
Introduction :
|
||
|
||
Happy new year, and welcome to a new decade of phreaking! Although
|
||
the phreaking world has taken a drastic dive, since ESS is now commonplace, I
|
||
believe that with the superior knowledge of the phreaking community, we can win
|
||
the fight for phree fone calls.
|
||
|
||
These days, a phreak must be smart, trained, diciplined and most of all
|
||
a phreak must remain noble.
|
||
|
||
I hope you veteran phreaks enjoy this phile, and to you aspiring
|
||
phreakers out there, pay attention and follow these instructions. They are the
|
||
"right" way to be doing things these days... Since the latest philes about
|
||
phreaking are around five years old. And very out dated at that.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Getting started :
|
||
|
||
One might ask, "How do I get started in the phreak world?" Well, the
|
||
answer is very simple. One thing you can do very easily is to scam MaBell out
|
||
of twenty cents. To my experiance, the following project can only be done on a
|
||
Pacific Bell fortress phone (pay phone.) You know, the ones with the orange
|
||
and blue instructions on them.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Project: Getting phree local calls from a PacBell fortress
|
||
|
||
Materials needed :
|
||
|
||
a) One nail : Approxamately 2 inches long and 2/8 inches wide
|
||
b) A friend (Hmmm, may be hard to come by with some of you guys.)
|
||
c) The desire to have the power of free fone calls!
|
||
d) One Pacific Bell Fortress Phone
|
||
|
||
Procedure:
|
||
|
||
This is fairly simple, although I suggest reading my notes and hepful
|
||
hints about doing this. This procedure becomes more of an art after a while.
|
||
You see, it takes just the right amount of pressure.
|
||
|
||
Ok, here it is. Take the nail, and insert it into the center hole of
|
||
the microphone (The mouthpiece.) It should fit in nicely with slight pressure
|
||
Meanwhile, your phriend is looking out for any people that might put a damper
|
||
on your plans. Ok, heres the crucial point of this project... With controlled
|
||
strokes, use the handset as a sort of a hammer to pound the nail into the
|
||
mouthpiece. I suggest using the side of the phone as an 'anvil.' Keep tapping
|
||
the nail into the mouthpiece untill 'something' gives way and enables you to
|
||
insert the nail into the mouthpiece more freely.
|
||
|
||
After you have done this, you can test your handiwork by hanging up,
|
||
and while touching the nail (that is now inserted into the mothpiece) to the
|
||
silver metal that surrounds the keypad... dial any seven digit number. You
|
||
should be now holding a *two way* conversation between someone. You did good!
|
||
And now, you can consider yourself a REAL phreak. Not just aother one of the
|
||
masses of code abusers.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Technical Explanation :
|
||
|
||
If you have just begun into the wonderful world of phreaking, then this
|
||
may confuse you somewhat, but just bear with this section of the phile, as it
|
||
is very important in becoming a phreak, you see... A phreak should not only use
|
||
the phone system for his personal endavors, but he should also *understand* the
|
||
telephone network as well... Ok, what is happening inside the phone when you
|
||
touch the nail to the keypad is that the phone is being grounded. Thats simple
|
||
enough. Before, you had to enter a dime. You can attest to this grounding, by
|
||
becoming the ground yourself. Simply pickup the reciever, place your thumb
|
||
over the nail, and with your other hand, hang the phone up. You should feel
|
||
a shocking sensation in your wrist that is making contact witht the nail. I
|
||
have foud this to be extremely painful, and doing this is only reccomended to
|
||
be done as a joke to phriends.
|
||
|
||
This 'nail' method may be used in conjunction with a green box, to get
|
||
long distance calls... All you green boxers out there will no longer have to
|
||
enter a nickel before you play your tones... Just Touch the nail to the pad,
|
||
dial, and play your tones while the "The call you have made..." recording
|
||
is going, And then, an electronic womans voic should then say, "Thank You."
|
||
And, thus... Your call being connected.
|
||
|
||
For all of you beginners, who have no idea of what a green box is, or
|
||
does, is this.: A green box is simply a micro-recorder that has a recording of
|
||
quarters dropping into a telephone on it. You see, when a coin is put into a
|
||
pay phone, the equipment sends a series of "controll tones" to the telephone
|
||
office.(By chance, they can be heard over the handset.) These tones are like
|
||
"proof" that you put your money in. So, what one might do, is : Go to an
|
||
arcade and get about $2.00 worth of quarters. Then go find your payphone.
|
||
Put your radio shack telephone amplifyer over the earpiece, and plug your
|
||
micro - casette recoreder into the MIC output. Start dropping money into the
|
||
phone, then after you are finished... Hit coin return. Then go back (to the
|
||
arcade) and play your two bucks worth of video games, since thats the only
|
||
real thing you can do with quarters these days.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Notes :
|
||
|
||
|
||
As I have previously mentioned, this procedure becomes more of a
|
||
skill, and an art as you become more adept in this technique. Keep trying
|
||
different means of getting that nail at *just* the right depth. As you
|
||
will soon find out, the microphone of the handset will sometimes be destroyed
|
||
in the prcess, in that case, move on to the next phone (very seldomly will one
|
||
find a 'lone phone booth.')
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Closing:
|
||
|
||
|
||
In closing, I would like to recognise a few people for helping to
|
||
perfect this technique. Dream Warrior, Master Of servants and a few
|
||
others were there when this all happened.
|
||
|
||
I hope this file taught all of you beginners out there something
|
||
about the telephone system, and please... by all means feel phree to ask
|
||
me any questions pertaining to this project.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Forward:
|
||
|
||
Keep your eyes open for the next volume of beginners phreaking,
|
||
I will try to explain how codes may be used to a phreaks advantage, and
|
||
the do's and don'ts of code hacking/phreaking.
