By: Digital Dreamer (Valium on EFnet, Digital on Undernet)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ever since I can remember, I've always wanted to be a member of PLA.
|
|
|
|
It was almost instant -- the first time I saw that issue of PLA001, I
|
|
|
|
have been obsessed. I would read and reread each issue, straining my
|
|
|
|
eyes to read the text printed from the faded, aged printer ribbon my
|
|
|
|
friend, Phil had. I didn't have a printer, you see. My TRS-80's
|
|
|
|
daisywheel had long ago given out. But that didn't deter me.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I realized, soon enough, that my only way to get in to PLA would be to
|
|
|
|
emulate RedBoxChilliPepper. Even though he wasn't the leader, he was the
|
|
|
|
one who wrote all the articles, and so his exploits were the most
|
|
|
|
documented. When I heard that he brought his laptop with him in to work
|
|
|
|
to do stuff like write issues of PLA, I instantly realized how I could be
|
|
|
|
like him. I tossed my TRS-80 in the trunk, 10 8inch disks with my latest
|
|
|
|
warez (written in BASIC-80, I was so proud!), and went to my college
|
|
|
|
elevator. I knew the elevator had one of those emergency phones, and I
|
|
|
|
also knew it had a power plug for maintenance. I discreetly smuggled my
|
|
|
|
TRS-80 under my coat to get by the security guard. I hadn't started
|
|
|
|
shaving yet (although I could hardly wait to tell Phil when I did!), so I
|
|
|
|
just told the guard I was a pregnant child prostitute and he let me past.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once inside the elevator, I ripped the emergency telephone out of the
|
|
|
|
wall, and lo and behold, there was a wall jack. Quickly setting up my
|
|
|
|
TRS-80, I booted and went into the wardialer I had written. I told it to
|
|
|
|
start scanning an exchange. I felt like a real Phone Freak. About 3
|
|
|
|
seconds later, I had arrived at the floor I told the elevator to go to.
|
|
|
|
Quickly I pushed another button so the doors would close and the elevator
|
|
|
|
would keep going. Well, that's until the people on the bottom floor
|
|
|
|
noticed something was amiss and told me to stop. But I didn't care, I
|
|
|
|
had scanned an entire exchange, and the results were stored on a single 8
|
|
|
|
inch disk. I could hardly wait to get home and tell my mom!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I emailed RedBoxChilliPepper about this repeatedly, and not once did he
|
|
|
|
reply. I figured he wasn't that impressed, since he had probably done it
|
|
|
|
himself before, so I decided to use his own tricks against him. I
|
|
|
|
quickly got the Phrack list of outdials that Erikb had published 3 years
|
|
|
|
ago, along with Phrack 47. Unfortunately, none of them worked, but after
|
|
|
|
whining on EFNet #phreak for about 3 hours (it took 2 just to get on the
|
|
|
|
IRC at 300 baud from my trusty TRS -- the accoustic couplers kept falling
|
|
|
|
off), someone told me one. So I quickly telnetted to it from my friend's
|
|
|
|
machine (I had hacked his password by watching him type it in at school)
|
|
|
|
and dialed up the relay service. I asked them to please dial directory
|
|
|
|
assistance for Illinois. I realize now that I could have just dialed up
|
|
|
|
tdd directory assistance for Illinois direct, but I was young and
|
|
|
|
foolish. Anyway, I told them that I didn't actually have a name or
|
|
|
|
number or address. However, I did have a .GIF of him, so I drew it best
|
|
|
|
I could for the tdd relay operator using my ASCII art skills, and asked
|
|
|
|
her to describe it to the directory assistance operator. After I did
|
|
|
|
that, she said "sksk" and hung up. Ah-A! I had it, RBCP's name was
|
|
|
|
"sksk". Now I could scare him with my Phone Phreak (Phil told me that
|
|
|
|
was how it was spelled -- I didn't get it, they said never to spell stuff
|
|
|
|
like that in English class, but I didn't want to make a scene by pointing
|
|
|
|
out Phil's mistake) Skills. I was so proud.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I then emailed RBCP several more time, addressing him by name (Hi,
|
|
|
|
there, sksk. Yes, I know your name, my skills are *that* leet, fear me.)
|
|
|
|
(Phil helped me write that one) to scare him. I must have scared him so
|
|
|
|
much he couldn't bear to reply, because he didn't. I was so happy, I
|
|
|
|
danced around the house singing "I'm a Phone Phreak, nyah nyah" until my
|
|
|
|
mom made me stop.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I knew that only impressing RBCP wouldn't be any good -- I'd need to
|
|
|
|
impress that Zak hooligan, too. So I decided to make some prank
|
|
|
|
calls through my favorite Bell Relay Service Operator, 4312 (F). Talking
|
|
|
|
to her always gave me an erection. Here is a log of one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPERATOR: number pls ga
|
|
|
|
ME: 1-800-LOAN-YES
|
|
|
|
OPERATOR: ringing... 1... 2... (answered) (ca here ... explaining relay
|
|
|
|
service) .. ok, hello.. ga
|
|
|
|
ME: BIG PINK DONKEY DICKS! (please hang up, ca)
|
|
|
|
OPERATOR: ok .. disconnected, ga or sk
|
|
|
|
ME: hang up, fool.
|
|
|
|
OPERATOR: ok, thanks for using at&t sksk
|
|
|
|
ME: yeah, whatever.
|
|
|
|
<session ends>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I was so proud, I sent Zak taped recordings of my prank calls. They
|
|
|
|
weren't very interesting, just the sound of my typing for about 20
|
|
|
|
minutes, but I saw he liked doing that a lot, so I sent them anyway. He
|
|
|
|
never replied, he must have been real peachy keen impressed. I was soo
|
|
|
|
happy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As I was browsing the PLA website in lynx one day, I saw that they had
|
|
|
|
an application form up! Excitedly, I took it home and got my mom and
|
|
|
|
dad to help me fill it out for me. I was a bit worried when there was
|
|
|
|
the section to enter in your credit card, since I had heard they were
|
|
|
|
Credit Card Phreaks, but I filled it in anyway.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I mailed it in, and while I was waiting for a response, my parents got
|
|
|
|
a big shock. Boy howdy, the bill on that credit card was $1,000e10! How
|
|
|
|
did that happen? I thought it might have been PLA, but I was too afraid
|
|
|
|
to tell my parents. They changed their credit card number with some
|
|
|
|
white out and an exacto knife, but still they kept getting billed.
|
|
|
|
Eventually, they just gave up and cancelled the credit card, but it
|
|
|
|
didn't stop there. I kept getting 20-30 calls a DAY with people just
|
|
|
|
calling up, saying "Jim Rimmer" (that's my name, they must have got it
|
|
|
|
the same was as me through the relay service, since I have my picture up
|
|
|
|
on my homepage). I began to get real frustrated, and got the telephone
|
|
|
|
company (Back-Asswards-Communications, Inc. One time when I was down
|
|
|
|
there looking at the new switches (they upgraded to SxS) as part of a
|
|
|
|
tour, they mentioned they were really called Oncor, but that they never
|
|
|
|
used that name except at formal occasions) to change my number. The phone
|
|
|
|
calls stopped for about 20 seconds, and then resumed. I was so
|
|
|
|
surprised, I wondered who could be doing it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well, the calls slowed down for a while, but then one morning I woke up
|
|
|
|
when the doorbell rang. I looked out my window and my street was
|
|
|
|
positively filled with all sorts of trucks, cars, vans and fire
|
|
|
|
department vehicles! I was so worried I wet myself. But once I changed
|
|
|
|
clothes, I told them all it was a mistake and to go away. Well, it was
|
|
|
|
hard to get that all out, because I had a bran muffin in my mouth
|
|
|
|
and all these reporters were asking me questions. But I eventually got
|
|
|
|
it out once I accidentally spat out my bran muffin on some guy standing
|
|
|
|
beside me.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Anyway, then my phone line changed somehow. It started asking me for
|
|
|
|
quarters! I thought this must be some change in billing procedures, but I
|
|
|
|
also realized this would be the perfect chance for me to try out my
|
|
|
|
Red Box! Wow, I called all my friends over and we sat around the phone.
|
|
|
|
I picked it up and hit the quarter button. Unfortunately, it didn't
|
|
|
|
work! All my friends called me a loser and beat me up for my lunchmoney,
|
|
|
|
but I didn't care. I was a Phone Phreak!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sadly, I have been unable to continue persuing my membership
|
|
|
|
in PLA, because my TRS-80 accoustic modem can't dial over the new kind of
|
|
|
|
phone line. My parents are afraid to go to the telco office and ask them
|
|
|
|
to change it, because the billing office is out in the middle of the
|
|
|
|
forest and is surrounded by bears, hunters and ugly people.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Anyway, I thought I'd share my experiences with you so you too can try
|
|
|
|
to get into PLA. Good luck!

No PLA issue can be complete without a few prank phone call transcripts. The
|
|
|
|
following three are done by Mouthbreather (847). The first transcript is from
|
|
|
|
a collect call made through OCI to an adjacent pay phone that just so happens
|
|
|
|
to accept collect calls (847-234-9674).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OP: Hello this is OCI, you have a collect call from Mike Hunt.
|
|
|
|
ME: What? I have a collect call from your cunt? Why the hell is your cunt
|
|
|
|
calling me?
|
|
|
|
OP: <pissed> Mike <pause> Hunt
|
|
|
|
ME: There's a collect call coming from your cunt? That's disgusting! You
|
|
|
|
are a sick person
|
|
|
|
OP: I'm putting the call through anyway
|

Him: Yes.

|
Me: Hi, I would like to get a breast pump
|
|
|
|
Him: Sure, hold on one second

Mary: How are you, who is this?
|
|
|
|
Me: This is Nathan, but you can call me Bobby.
|
|
|
|
Mary: But I can call you Bobby?
|
|
|
|
Me: Yeah, that's most my friends call me because when I was a kid...
|
|
|
|
Mary: uh huh
|
|
|
|
Me: ...there was this kid in my grade who used to look just like me...
|
|
|
|
Mary: uh huh
|
|
|
|
Me: ...and his name was Bobby
|
|
|
|
Mary: Huh!
|
|
|
|
Me: And so, like, he was a real trouble maker, and he would always get
|
|
|
|
beaten up by kids, or people would want to, but they would always
|
|
|
|
get me instead.
|
|
|
|
Mary: Oh my goodness.
|
|
|
|
Me: It was horrible.
|
|
|
|
Mary: Well it sounds like it. I assume this is for your...
|
|
|
|
Me: That's why I'm missing my left buttocks.
|
|
|
|
Mary: <pause> Is your wife there?
|
|
|
|
Me: Um, no she isn't. this is going to be a gift.

|
|
|
|
Me: How many designer colors?
|
|
|
|
Mary: It comes in blue.
|
|
|
|
Me: Oh excellent.
|
|
|
|
Mary: The bag is nav...
|
|
|
|
Me: Cause the baby is a boy.
|
|
|
|
Mary: Oh okay, well the bag is navy blue, and ummm...it gives the woman the
|
|
|
|
capability of pumping both breasts at the same time...
|
|
|
|
Me: WHOA!
|
|
|
|
Mary: Is she going back to work?
|
|
|
|
Me: Not any time soon. If she did could she wear it to work?
|
|
|
|
Mary: If she did she could bring it to work, yes.
|
|
|
|
Me: Isn't it kind of bulky though? Would people be like...

Mary: Is this a prank call or is this serious?
|
|
|

Me: No I'm sorry...
|
|

|
Mary: ok
|
|
|

Me: ...it's just that I'm a little insecure about breasts.

Alright here's the thing, me being of the adolecent I am, have to do
|
|
|
|
adolecent things, one of which is getting a shit job. For three long months I
|
|
|
|
worked at a fast food chain called "Hardee's". This is a place almost
|
|
|
|
identical to McDonald's, anyway among the tasks performed there were common
|
|
|
|
fast food shit like taking orders, dealing with customers, etc, etc. One day
|
|
|
|
we ran out of strawberries (for milk shakes), and as it were, milk.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So me being the little work horse I am was sent to the nearest Grocery Store
|
|
|
|
to fetch these needed product's. I was thinking that they would give me money
|
|
|
|
or a check or some way of paying for these but instead told me to tell the
|
|
|
|
grocery store to bill it to Hardee's, I said ok and was on my way.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When I retrieved the items and went up to the check out register I simply told
|
|
|
|
her to charge it to Hardee's. Do we see where this is going yet? They wrote
|
|
|
|
out a little form and had me sign at the bottom, not asking for ID, proof of
|
|
|
|
employment or any means of identifacion. So I was on my merry way to my
|
|
|
|
mundane job thinking "hmmmm, that was too easy".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So I finished up my day's work and the next day (which I had off) went back to
|
|
|
|
the store wearing my Hardee's uniform and did the same thing, only this time I
|
|
|
|
took stuff that I wanted, like cigerettes, condoms (so i can have sex)...(ok
|
|
|
|
so I can be prepared to have sex)........(alright alright i didnt get
|
|
|
|
condoms!!!) and things to that effect. I went up to the counter and did the
|
|
|
|
same thing only this time I signed my name as someone who doesnt exist.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's really that easy to get anything you want from a grocery store. Just make
|
|
|
|
sure its the closest Grocery Store to the fast food place you are charging it
|
|
|
|
to.

Dear PLA:
|
|
|
|
As a disgruntled ex-Kroger Grocery Store Employee (heavy on the ex, light on
|
|
|
|
the disgruntled) I have a little knowledge of Kroger's Paging system which I
|
|
|
|
am more than happy to share for the sake of PLA :)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At my store old store, (I'm not sure about every store but will check others
|
|
|
|
in a few dayz) the paging extension was 50. If you were a cashier, all you'd
|
|
|
|
have to do was pick up the phone, dial 50, then broadcast your message over
|
|
|
|
the entire store. The customer service extension was 255.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you wanted to take over from the outside you would have to dial up customer
|
|
|
|
service (ex: 912-925-0095). Then have them switch you to another department.
|
|
|
|
You wouldn't want to take over through customer service, they get suspicious.
|
|
|
|
Try getting transfered to a department like produce. Produce is usually
|
|
|
|
stocked with a bunch of teen age boys who don't give a fuck what you do and
|
|
|
|
may just help you becuase they are bored as hell. Go figure!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You could also try departments who don't use the phone a lot like Seafood,
|
|
|
|
Meat Dept, Deli, or Bakery. Now for an employee to transfer you, he must hit
|
|
|
|
FLASH (click the hook once), 51, then 50 for the paging extension. Now you
|
|
|
|
gots total control. Give it a try, if you're bored one day and happen to have
|
|
|
|
an unused calling card code. Good Luck!

Dear PLA:

umm, i read pla 39, and you were talking about all the security with them
|
|
|
|
needing zip codes.... bah ... i did your fool-the-gas-station thing (beat
|
|
|
|
your record too, got 5 cards in once call from dave the night man) with a
|
|
|
|
speedway in our huge pop. 200 town here, and when id play around carding
|
|
|
|
calls through 800-COLLECT (face it, mci deserves more than at&t if only for
|
|
|
|
their "are you out there at&t" commercials.) and they need the zip code too,
|
|
|
|
if you get the cards from a small-town gas station then 90% of them will be
|
|
|
|
the zip code the gas station is in. call the town's post office (or a town
|
|
|
|
resident if you want to confuse them, i guess) and get the zip code. umm,
|
|
|
|
have fun with the roam ops.

Dear RBCP:
|
|
|
|
I really love your web page, and everthing on it, it really is one of my
|
|
|
|
favorite, if not #1, but reading through your life story there was one thing I
|
|
|
|
didn't understand, how in the Helsinki did you pass pennies in quarter rolls
|
|
|
|
as quarters?! The quarter roll has a wider diameter than the pennies and
|
|
|
|
unless you cut the paper and glued it... how would you do it... I'm interested
|
|
|
|
in knowing...for information purposes only, of course.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
thanks & keep pla alive for ever,

[Although it's very risky, it's also very easy. It goes something like this:
|
|
|
|
Take one roll of pennies, open it and remove four pennies from the roll,
|
|
|
|
scotch tape the roll shut very tightly, cut 2 1/2 strips of construction
|
|
|
|
paper the same width as your new penny roll and tape it around the roll.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now you should have a cylinder that has the exact same width and diameter
|
|
|
|
of a roll of quarters. Wrap a quarter wrapper around it, tape the ends,
|
|
|
|
write a fake name and phone number on the side and you're ready to go. A
|
|
|
|
safer, yet not as cost effective, alternative would be to remove SIX
|
|
|
|
pennies from the original roll, then after you've stuck the modified
|
|
|
|
pennies into the quarter roll, stick a quarter on each side, just in case
|
|
|
|
the cashier opens it. This saved me a few times. ]

Dear PLA:
|
|
|
|
Some pretty amusing pranks there for the 7-11 pinheads to ponder. Me, I won't
|
|
|
|
even go into a 7-11 store. Haven't ever since the puss-brains quit selling
|
|
|
|
cigarette papers. Nuts to 7-11. I'm kind've an aging fart, 45 going on 46, but
|
|
|
|
I still chuckle when I think of the whacky shit a buddy of mine and myself
|
|
|
|
used to do to unsuspecting store employees, customers and innocent bystanders
|
|
|
|
when we were teenagers. I'd better not email you details of the incidents,
|
|
|
|
even though it's been at least 28 years since most of them occurred because I
|
|
|
|
don't know who all can read this shit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I will say, however, that if a prankster has a particular convenience store
|
|
|
|
for targeting and the store has sliding glass doors they leave open on hot
|
|
|
|
days (not many stores left like that I know) several well aimed jumbo sized
|
|
|
|
firework rockets through the open doors will make everyone inside hit the deck
|
|
|
|
pronto. I stick to more mundane things nowadays, like writing whacky crap for
|
|
|
|
the web. Check out my channel at http://clix.net/clix/dooleys if you're

This is so cool! I've found stuff here that isn't anywhere else on the Net!
|
|
|
|
The instructions are also more in-depth than the ones on other sites, so even
|
|
|

an idiot like me can figure it out. By the way, I called Netcom for a free

Dear PLA:
|
|
|

I've found a new way to block 800 ANI. It is called Net2Phone and allows
|
|
|
|
people to place calls using a piece software which connects to IDT's (the
|
|
|
|
company offering Net2Phone) servers and routes the call from their fones in
|
|
|
|
New Jersey to wherever you want to call.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here is how they describe it, "Net2Phone enables Internet users with sound
|
|
|
|
equipped PCs to initiate calls from their computers and transmit them over the
|
|
|
|
Internet to IDT's phone switches. The switches then convert the signal from
|
|
|
|
the 'packet switch network' Internet environment to the 'circuit switch
|
|
|
|
network' telephone environment. And then to its' final destination - any
|
|
|
|
ordinary telephone. The result is real-time uninterrupted voice communication
|
|
|
|
between the two calling parties."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This service is offered for free on 800 and 888 numbers. If you want to call
|
|
|
|
regular numbers it cost's extra. Unfortunately, after you call the number, you
|
|
|
|
cannot send tones and it is too staticky to use a tone dialer. Grab a copy at
|
|
|
|
http://www.net2phone.com.

better editor has decided to take the reigns. Your new editors are

Emmanuel Goldstien and Chris Tomkinson. I might still write an occasional

Hey RBCP,
|
|
|
|
Still got those annoying neighbors? Here's my personally guaranteed method of
|
|
|
|
Cactusing them. Next time they piss you off, wait for the newspaper courier
|
|
|
|
to throw their paper into their yard. Right after the courier leaves, sneak
|
|
|
|
over and steal your neighbors newspaper. Replace it with a neatly rolled and
|
|
|
|
rubber banded newspaper from last week. Do this for about a week. They'll
|
|
|
|
get pissed becuase they will be paying for a paper they didn't get. You'll
|
|
|
|
get a free paper out of the deal and can get rid of wasted paper. (Great
|
|
|
|
Recycling program). Even an added bonus if the newspaper guy has been a real
|
|
|
|
pain in the ass lately, he'll probably get chewed out by his boss!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After stealing their paper for a week, try canceling their paper service. Or
|
|
|
|
if they come home from work late, steal their paper and cut out all the really
|
|
|
|
interesting articles, then roll it back up and leave in their front yard.
|
|
|
|
You'll be surprised how many people are newspaper dependent!

Dear PLA:
|
|
|
|
I don't know if you are in to getting soda out of machines or not, but I'll
|
|
|
|
send my idea anyway. I've found that, with a friend to hold up the trap door
|
|
|
|
where soda comes out, you can stick your arm inside a pepsi machine and pull
|
|
|
|
soda out. This is for 20oz. bottle dispensers. On can machines, you need more
|
|
|
|
time and a secluded place. You probably will need to break the plastic cover
|
|
|
|
just above the slot where soda comes out. Once this is off, you will see a
|
|
|
|
bar held in place by a pin. This bar stops the door from coming up too far.
|
|
|
|
Just use some pliers and pull the pin off, Then slide the bar out and you can
|
|
|
|
stick your arm inside and get free soda. Schools with machines in the locker
|
|
|
|
room are the best place to do this. You can also use a broomstick to
|
|
|
|
accomplish the same thing if you can't get your arm inside the machine.

Dear PLA:

Hi. I'm the co-founder of the PLA Bay Area Division (I like to call it
|
|
|
|
PLA-BAD) here in California. I went to Radio Shack one day about a week ago
|
|
|
|
to buy a tone dialer (gee, I wonder why?). They were out of tone dialers, but
|
|
|
|
the idiot employee who was working at the time (his name was David) told me I
|
|
|
|
could pay for it now and come back in a couple days to get it when they got
|
|
|
|
their new shipment in. He told me he would remember me. I gave him my money,
|
|
|
|
he gave me a receipt, and I went home.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Two days later, I went back to pick up my tone dialer. David wasn't working,
|
|
|
|
so I showed my receipt to some other employee and he gave me a tone dialer. I
|
|
|
|
left. A few minutes later, I realized that I forgot to buy batteries. I went
|
|
|
|
back, and guess what--David was working!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
He looked at me, said "Oh, I remember you!" and gave me another tone dialer.
|
|
|
|
The guy who gave me the first one was nowhere in sight. So I got two tone
|
|
|
|
dialers for the price of one. Oh, and the phone number for the Radio Shack
|
|
|
|
where this happened is 408-746-0809. The store is located in Sunnyvale, CA.

Hey, me and Hormone were messing around and we found this new way to make free
|
|
|
|
long distance, and thought you might want to include it in in a future issue.
|
|
|
|
We called up the Bon (department store), and we got transfered to the Tiger
|
|
|
|
Shop (they sell clothes there or something), we talked to some sales Rep named
|
|
|
|
Tracy and i pretended to be from security, and said that we were doing a
|
|
|
|
routine check to see if the employee's knew the info they were supposed to. We
|
|
|
|
got her name and her employee number.. Then we called back, talked to the Bon
|
|
|
|
opeartor, and Hormone said he was Tracy from extension 6170 (The tiger shop)
|
|
|
|
and that he needed an outside line. She asked for his employee number, and
|
|
|
|
then the number we wanted to dial. .. he gave him Disneyland security, and
|
|
|
|
the call went through... They must deduct whatever the charges are from that
|
|
|
|
person's pay roll or something.. Hormone also hasn't hit puberty yet, so he
|
|
|
|
can pose as a girl pretty good :) ..Otherwise you would have to search around
|
|
|
|
until you found a guy working there.
