Teleconferencing is probably the phreaker's trademark. Being able to create
|
|
a party line is
|
|
incredibly to most users. A teleconference basically is a party line...
|
|
multiple users
|
|
can talk on it at one time for one set price, exactly like a party line.
|
|
There are many
|
|
different teleconferencing services also. There is Qwest, At&t, MCI and
|
|
more. There
|
|
are also online teleconferencing, which really sucks! There are two
|
|
distinctive kinds of
|
|
conferences. There is the dialout conference and the dialin conference.
|
|
With the dialout
|
|
conference, you must give someone your number and they will call you... when
|
|
you pick up
|
|
the telephone, you will probably hear a beep (depending what service you are
|
|
using) and
|
|
you are on the conference! With a dialin conference, you call a 1800 (or
|
|
another toll
|
|
free number), you usually have to enter a certain code, and then you are on
|
|
the conference.
|
|
Alot of people online do not like dialout conference because of the risk
|
|
involved with
|
|
giving out your number. For example, lets say you are on irc (internet
|
|
relay chat) and
|
|
you join a qwest. This person can easily find out all kinds of information
|
|
on you. All
|
|
this person has to do is go to http://www.numberfinder.com/ or any other
|
|
reverse phone
|
|
number lookup site on the internet. Also, prank calls! Some people (I for
|
|
one) get some
|
|
serious "shits and gigles" from prank calls. And calling someone you know
|
|
or dislike
|
|
online is even funner. If they have your number and later decide they do
|
|
not like you,
|
|
you are screwed! They may give it out to other people you don't like! With
|
|
dialouts,
|
|
(qwest for example) you can prank call with the conference. You can call
|
|
anywhere for
|
|
free (unless you used your or your parents credit card to register) and do
|
|
whatever
|
|
prank calls you want. I have personally been on qwests where we called
|
|
three police
|
|
stations at once and harassed them, we called the jerky boys homes, and we
|
|
called George
|
|
Lukas Films and used a Yoda voice (which was VERY funny by the way). Qwests
|
|
can be fun,
|
|
but very dangerous. Another danger with qwests is that the people that
|
|
creat it, usually
|
|
card it. Another words, they steal credit cards somehow (most probably use
|
|
a script to
|
|
get into a poorly secured websites credit card database) and register on
|
|
qwest with them.
|
|
This is very risky... Carding is a federal offense, and a teenager can get
|
|
sent to prison
|
|
and charged as an adult if caught with this charge. Although, this is a
|
|
huge risk, I have
|
|
only heard of anyone getting caught from carding a qwest one time in my
|
|
life. And I found
|
|
out later that the only thing they did was question him and then send him
|
|
back on his merry
|
|
little way. One of my favorite things about qwests is that when you call
|
|
someone, you
|
|
are totally anonymous. You can call anyone and when they look at their
|
|
caller id, or dial
|
|
*69 or call the operator, all they will see is qwest communications phone
|
|
number!
|
|
Qwest probably doesn't even log what numbers people call or do anything at
|
|
all
|
|
when it comes to security. If you want to sign up at qwest, go to
|
|
residential.qwest.com and
|
|
press "click to conference". There should be a JOIN NOW button somewhere.
|
|
The cost per
|
|
user on a qwest conference is only five cents, so don't feel too bad if you
|
|
carded one.
|
|
If you do card one, and decide to moderate it also, get about three other
|
|
people to
|
|
run the conference also (sign onto the conference name and password and call
|
|
some people).
|
|
If at least three people are on the same conference, you have a 99.9% chance
|
|
of NOT getting
|
|
caught. And even if you were caught they could not pin anything against
|
|
you. They have
|
|
no clue who actually carded the conference and it's too expensive to
|
|
investigate. Another
|
|
way to make a conference is to beige box someone's house, call a phone
|
|
company and set one
|
|
up. Am I going to tell you how to do this? Nope... There's tons of texts on
|
|
how to make
|
|
dialout conferences... But if you can't find one, go to
|
|
http://www.phreak2600.com and I
|
|
think there is one somewhere on that site. Anyways, beige boxing taps onto
|
|
the line
|
|
of the person you are beige boxing. You are basically just adding a new
|
|
telephone to
|
|
the telephone line. I wont get into specifics on beige boxing, but if you
|
|
do beige box
|
|
someone's house, you can easily call long distance numbers at no charge to
|
|
you. And alot
|
|
more. Harassing the operator is always fun. Prank calls are great too
|
|
considering you
|
|
are totally anonymous if you are beige boxing it. I actually made a text on
|
|
how to make
|
|
a beige box at http://www.inforeading.com you may want to check out.
|
|
Sometimes people
|
|
make conferences with pbx's... im not very knowledgable when it comes to
|
|
pbx's because
|
|
to tell you the truth, there are not that many around anymore. I hope you
|
|
learned something
|
|
from this text... Thanks for reading it, you can get alot of my other texts
