Phone Taps
|
|
|
|
Here is some info on phone taps. I have enclosed a schematic for a simple
|
|
wiretap & instructions for hooking up a tape recorder control relay to 4he
|
|
phone line. First i'll discuss taps a little. There are many
|
|
different types of taps. There are tranmitters, wired taps and induction taps
|
|
to name a few. Wired and wireless transmitters must be physically connected
|
|
to the line before they'll do any good. Once a wireless tap is connected
|
|
to the line, it can transmit all conversations over a limited range. The
|
|
phones in the house can even be modified to pick up conversations in the room &
|
|
transmit them too! These taps are usually powered off the phone line, but can
|
|
have an external power source. Wired taps, on the other hand, need no
|
|
power source, but a wire must be run from the line to the listener or to a
|
|
transmitter. There are obvious advantages of wireless taps over wired ones.
|
|
There is one type of wireless tap that looks like a normal telephone mike. All
|
|
you have to do is replace the original mike with this & it'll transmit all
|
|
conversations! There is an exotic type of wired tap known as the 'infinity
|
|
transmitter' or 'harmonica bug'. In order to hook up one of these, you need
|
|
access to the target telephone. It has a tone decoder & switch inside. When
|
|
it is installed, someone calls the tapped phone & *before* it rings, blows a
|
|
whistle over the line. The x-mitter receives the tone & picks up the phone via
|
|
a relay. The mike on the phone is activated so the caller can hear all
|
|
conversations in the room. There is a sweep tone test at 415/bug-1111
|
|
which can be used to detect on of these taps. If one og these is on your line
|
|
& the test # sends the correct tone, you'll hear a click. Induction taps
|
|
have one big advantage over taps that must be physically wired to the phone.
|
|
They don't have to be touching the phone in order to pick up the conversation.
|
|
They work on the same principle as the little suction-cup tape recorder mikes
|
|
you can get at radio shack. Induction mikes can be hooked up to a transmitter
|
|
or be wired. Here is an example of industrial espionage using the phone:
|
|
a salesman walks into an office & makes a fone call. He fakes the
|
|
conversation, but when he hangs up he slips some foam-rubber cubes under the
|
|
handset, so the fone is still off the hook. The called party can still hear
|
|
all conversations in the room. When someone picks up the fone, the cubes fall
|
|
away unnoticed. I use a tap on my line to monitor what ae-pro is doing
|
|
when it auto-dials, since it doesn't take advantage of the handset on the apple
|
|
cat ii. I can also hook up the tap to a cassette recorder or amplifier. Here is
|
|
the schematic:

|
|
The 100k pot is used for volume. It should be on its highest (least resistance)
|
|
setting if you hook a speaker across the output, but it should be set on its
|
|
highest resistance for a tape recorder or amplifier. You may find it necessary
|
|
to add another 10-40k. The capacitor should be around .47 Mfd. It's only
|
|
purpose is to prevent the relay in the co from tripping & thinking you have the
|
|
fone off the hook. The audio output transformer available at radio shack
|
|
(273-1380) is fine for the x-former. The black & green are fine for input & the
|
|
red & white go to the output device. You may want to experiment with the
|
|
x-former for the best output. Hooking up a tape recorder control relay is
|
|
east. Just one of the fone wires (usu. Red) before the telephones & hook one
|
|
end to one wire of the relay & the other end to the other relay wire. Like

HAVE YOU EVER HAD A STRONG DESIRE TO KNOW WHAT BOY YOUR OLDER SISTER LIKES
|
|
OR HOW YOUR PARENTS SEX LIFE IS GOING,WELL NOW YOU CIN KNOW ALL BY BUGGING
|
|
THERE ROOMS!
|
|
|
|
THE FIRST THING YOU CAN USE IS THE WIRELESS MICROPHONE FROM RADIO SHACK-
|
|
$6.99. IT IS DESIGNED TO PUT VOICES ON TO AN FM RADIO BUT NO ONE SAYS YOU
|
|
CAN'T HIDE IT AND LET IT PICK UP UNSUSPECTING PEOPLE....FIRST TUNE THE
|
|
MICROPHONE WITH ANY BLANKSPOT ON YOUR FM RADIO (DON'T WORRY IT WILL EXPLAIN
|
|
HOW TO TUNE IT ON THE BACK OF THE PACKAGE.) ....THEN HIDE IT WHEN NO
|
|
ONE IS AROUND (WHEN HIDING THE MICRO-PHONE TALK INTO IT AS YOU'RE WALKING
|
|
TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVEN'T WALKED OUT OF IT'S RANGE.)
|
|
THERE ARE HOWEVER, 2 DISADVANTAGES TO USING ONE OF THESE MICROPHONES:
|
|
|
|
1) YOU CAN ONLY PUT IT IN A ROOM THAT IS RIGHT NEXT TO YOUR ROOM AND ONLY
|
|
ONE WALL CAN SEPERATE THEM.
|
|
|
|
2) THE MIKE IS 8 INCHES LONG AND THE ONLY DECENT HIDING PLACES FOR SOMETHING
|
|
THAT BIG IS UNDER A BED OR IN A CLOSET. (YOU MAY WANT TO TAKE IT APART TO
|
|
MAKE IT SMALLER BUT I DONT RECCOMMEND DOING THIS.)
|
|
|
|
ANOTHER THING YOU CAN USE IS THE CLIP ON WIRELESS MIKE BY RADIO SHACK FOR
|
|
ABOUT $18. IT WORKS IN BASICLY THE SAME WAY EXCEPT IT IS VERY SMALL AND IT WILL
|
|
WORK THE DISTANCE OF YOUR HOUSE AND POSSIBLY EVEN YOUR NEIGHBORS HOUSE.

SWITCHING EQUIPMENT
|
|
|
|
This article familiarizes you with the different types of switching systems
|
|
used by the phone co.
|
|
|
|
In our phone network there are three (3) major types of switching systems.
|
|
They are (1) Step (2) Crossbar (3) ESS
|
|
|
|
1. Step By Step
|
|
|
|
This unit was origionally invented by Almon Strowger, an undertaker, in 1899.
|
|
He invented this device because he thought the biased operator was
|
|
routing all request for an undertaker to her husbands business.
|
|
Ma Bell adopted this system in 1918 and as of 1978, over 53% of the Bell
|
|
exchanges use Step. This system is directly controled by dial pulses,
|
|
which trigger a set of switches (switch train) in an order. Under
|
|
Step By Step (SxS), as soon as you pick up the phone it acknowleges your
|
|
request, to make a call, by sending you a dial tone. If you then dialed
|
|
1234, the system would first find an idle selector switch, then moves
|
|
vertically one pulse to find a free second selector then move 2 vertical
|
|
pulses, step horizontally to find the next free selector, and so on...
|
|
Thus the first switch in the train takes no digits, the second takes 1-digit,
|
|
the third takes 1, and the last switch (called the connector) takes
|
|
2-digits and connects your calls. A normal exchange,
|
|
containing 10,000 lines, requires 4-digits (0000-9999)to connect a local call,
|
|
so it takes 4-switches to connect every call (linefeeder, 1st + 2nd selectors,
|
|
and the connector).
|
|
|
|
Disadvantages of SxS
|
|
[1] The switch train may sometimes become jammed; therefore, blocking your call.
|
|
[2] You can't use touch-tone or any other type of DTMF
|
|
(Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency) directly. Though Telco may have installed a
|
|
conversion kit, but all calls go through just as slow as pulse, anyway.
|
|
|
|
[3] They require much maintenance and use too much electricity.
|
|
|
|
[4] Everything is hardwired.
|
|
|
|
They may still hook many utilities to it, so it's not a phreaks best phriend!
|
|
|
|
Ways To Identify SxS
|
|
|
|
<1> No DTMF or pulsing digits after the dialing.
|
|
|
|
<2> If you go near the CO., it will sound like a bunch of typewriters.
|
|
|
|
<3> No speed calling, call forwarding, and other custom customer services.
|
|
|
|
<4> Fortress Phones that want your money first opposed to the dial tone
|
|
first ones.
|
|
|
|
Well if you have all of the characteristics it doesn't mean that you
|
|
definitely have SxS, but it does mean for sure that you don't have ESS!
|
|
Also SxS has, for the most part been eradicated from larger cities such as
|
|
Houston, NYC, and such.
|
|
|
|
Crossbar
|
|
|
|
This is the second type of switching system in our phone co. There are 3
|
|
major types of Crossbar, called: No. 1 Crossbar (1XB), No. 4 Crossbar (4XB),
|
|
and No. 5 Crossbar (5XB). 5XB has been the primary end office switch of
|
|
Bell since the 60's, thus it is in wide use.
|
|
|
|
Crossbar uses a common control switching method. When there is an incoming call,a stored program determines it's route through the switching matrix.
|
|
|
|
In Crossbar, the basic operation principle is that a horizontal & vertical
|
|
line are energized in a matrix (the crosspoint matrix).
|
|
The point where these two lines meet in the matrix is the connection.

|
The Phreak's Nightmare Come True
|
|
|
|
|
|
ESS is Bell's move to bust some phreaks, and they went about it the right way.
|
|
|
|
With ESS, *EVERY* single digit that you dial is recorded--even if it is a
|
|
mistake. They know who you call when you call, how long you talked, and in
|
|
some cases, what you talked about. ESS can (and is) programmed to print out
|
|
the #'s of people who make excessive calls to 800 #'s or directory assistance.
|
|
This is called the "800 Exeptional Calling Report." ESS could also be
|
|
programmed to print out logs of who calls certain no.'s, such as; a bookie,
|
|
BBS, MCI dial-up, etc. The thing to remember about ESS is that is a mass of
|
|
programs working together, and these programs can be easily changed to do any
|
|
task you want it to do! This system maes the job of the FBI, Bell Security,
|
|
NSA, and other organizations that like to invade our privacy, incredibly easy.
|
|
|
|
With ESS, tracing is done in microseconds & the results are printed out in on
|
|
the monitor of a Bell Security officer! WOW! It will also pick up any foreign
|
|
tones on the line, such as 2600 Hz!
|
|
|
|
Bell has said that the entire country will be ESSed by the 1990's.
|
|
|
|
You can identify ESS by these, which are usually ESS functions:
|
|
|
|
[1] Dialing 911 for emergencies
|
|
[2] Dial-tone first fortress phones.
|
|
[3] Custom Calling Services such as:
|
|
Call forwarding, Speed Dialing,
|
|
Call Waiting. (ask your business if
|
|
these services are available.)
|
|
[4] ANI (Automatic Number Identification) on
|
|
long distance calls.
|
|
|
|
This doesn't mean that inder ESS Phreaking has come to a complete halt,
|
|
it just shows you how careful you are going to have to be!
|
|
|
|
ESS sends an "Artificial Ring" generated by a computer, so the voice is not
|
|
directly connected to the called parties until he picks up the phone.
|
|
Thus Black Boxes won't do any good, and Infinity Transmitters will not work!
|
|
|
|
Another way to find out what type of equipment your on, is to Trash your
|
|
local CO.!!!
