How to Break into an AT&T Manhole And Get Away With It!!!
|
||
|
||
So you are really that curious huh?
|
||
Well, you are going to have to be pretty strong to get into a Bell manhole
|
||
without help.
|
||
|
||
I suggest that you bring a friend, who is about 6'3, 250 pds. If you don't
|
||
have a friend like that, I hope you can do it yourself. Football players work
|
||
best. (heh)
|
||
|
||
|
||
Finding One
|
||
|
||
The manholes that Bell uses are bigger and have more designs on them than
|
||
the 'City Sewer' ones have. Here is a brief description:
|
||
2 and a half feet in diameter, with a set of stars around the 'Bell' sign in
|
||
the middle. They have two holes on either side, big enough to slip a crowbar
|
||
in easily. They are 2 inches thick also. Very heavy.
|
||
|
||
If you look around closely, and are in a rural area, you should be able to
|
||
find one quite easily. They are about every 2 or 3 blocks on major streets, or
|
||
smaller Avenues. Generally, they are just inside the sidewalk divider lane,
|
||
and aren't cemented down.
|
||
|
||
Now, if you haven't seen one before, or really look, and still cant find one,
|
||
Go to your city's Land Records Hall, and ask for a map of all of the AT&T
|
||
manholes in the city. They will look at you queerly and say:
|
||
|
||
"What do you need these for?"
|
||
|
||
Dont worry! You dont have to tell them anything! its your legal right to have
|
||
those. But if you feel uncomfortable, just say:
|
||
|
||
"I am doing a report on City-Nation Telecommunications, and I want to submit
|
||
a map with my report, to prove that there are hundreds of manholes in our
|
||
city. (depending on the size)"
|
||
|
||
If the "nice lady" (bitch usually) doesn't believe this, then you can just
|
||
say:
|
||
|
||
"look it is none of your business anyway. Its my lawful right! Now Please let
|
||
me see them."
|
||
|
||
You can be obnoxious if you want It isn't like she is going to call the cops
|
||
on you. "He was assaulting me verbally!!"
|
||
|
||
If you haven't found one by now, then you will just have to wait until you
|
||
can see an AT&T truck (Ghitapho mobile) working on a manhole.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Preparing to Get In
|
||
|
||
Now that you have found one, getting in will be the >FUN< part! Be prepared
|
||
for a long night of dodging cars, ducking in bushes, and getting very cold and
|
||
tired. Load up on caffeine to keep awake. Make sure it is really dark. Try to
|
||
find a manhole that is real secluded!
|
||
|
||
When you leave your house, be sure to bring the following:
|
||
|
||
1. A crowbar
|
||
2. A flashlight
|
||
3. and random tools (scredriver and side cutters.)
|
||
4. And of course, plenty of excuses in case you get caught.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Getting In
|
||
|
||
Stick your crowbar under the lid and pull down on the bar real hard. It will
|
||
lift, and then stick another bar under it, and move it off the hole, onto the
|
||
street. This will take about a minute. The passing cars will slow down, honk,
|
||
and go on. Dont worry..99.99% of the time they arent cops, or good citizens
|
||
looking to make a "Citizen's Arrest."
|
||
|
||
Quickly get in, and climb down the rung ladder until you reach the base,
|
||
about 10 feet down.
|
||
|
||
You should see a bunch of boxes on the wall, also there will be: wire, books,
|
||
and test-sets. Keep the tesv-sets and books. The books are tel-co manuals for
|
||
the stupider technicians, or the ones like us that dont know what we are doing
|
||
in those manholes. The wire is useless. The test sets are fun to tap into
|
||
lines with, when you are on a pole, below (as you are now), or looking in a
|
||
can.
|
||
|
||
Look inside the boxes. There are little bolts on them that if turned will
|
||
open up the boxes. The bolts are 7/8 of an inch. Turn them 1/2 a turn to the
|
||
left. And they pop open.
|
||
|
||
In the boxes will be rows of little boards that have wires sticking out.
|
||
There will be a diagram on the side of the wall, if you can read that, you can
|
||
figure out who's house is connected to which wire.
|
||
|
||
Play with your test set a little. There will be a 2 little screws for your
|
||
test set, hook the clips on your test set to these little screws. There will
|
||
be 2 alligator-clips hanging from the screws, attach these to the wires you
|
||
want to 'tap' into. If there is no one on the line, you will hear a dial tone.
|
||
If not, reverse the wires. You'll see when you get down there.
|
||
|
||
If there is someone on the line, listen in. Sometimes you will get some juicy
|
||
stuff! This will usually happen in the afternoon only. (although I have never
|
||
been in one in the day, So I hear) Not a very safe time to go into a hole,
|
||
though.
|
||
|
||
Remember to be >very< careful when down there that you dont pass out, because
|
||
the air is very bad down there, dust, and all that collects down there because
|
||
it isn't opened much.
|
||
|
||
Always leave things the way you fownd them. That way, the tel-co guys wont
|
||
suspect vandalism. They wont miss the manuals, or the test sets. (If you dont
|
||
take too much) but dont wreck, or break anything down there.
|
||
|
||
And Close the god damn lid after!!
