|
Introduction: The purpose of this manuscript is to introduce useful phreaking
|
|
------------- techniques. These techniques have been developed by the Third
|
|
Cartel and have proved to be convenient and reliable.
|

|
|
Field Phreaking Kit:
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
The Field Phreaking Kit is a neccessity for the serious phreaker. Some
|
|
so-called phreaks get all of their information including codes from BBSs and
|
|
have an ego big enough to call themselves phreaks. The real phreak acquires
|
|
knowledge on his own through perseverence and ingenuity. Following is a list
|
|
of useful items for your Phreaking Kit:
|
|
|
|
o Backpack: Get a nice one to hold all of your materials.
|
|
o Test Phone: Very Handy. We'll tell you how to get one or make one.
|
|
o Ratchet Set: Usually, you'll only need 7/16 and 3/8" size ratchets.
|
|
o Screwdrivers: Get medium and large screwdrivers, and a phillips head.
|
|
o Wire Cutters: Just in case you want to wipe out some lines.
|
|
o Pliers: For misc. stuff.
|
|
o Xacto or Pocket Knife: To strip or cut wires.
|
|
o Penlight: Nice and small; very useful for night work.
|
|
o Flashlight: If you need lots of light and have enough room in your pack.
|
|
o Gloves: Make sure you don't get shocked or leave your fingerprints around.
|
|
o Pencil and Paper: Write down locations, notes, numbers, etc.
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
The Third Cartel carries the following optional materials in their Field Kit:
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
o Walki-Talkies: For communications when yelling isn't possible or smart.
|
|
o Battery Operated Camara Flash: Good for flashing in someone's eyes at night
|
|
Will blind a telco guy for a few seconds.
|
|
o Mace/Dog Repellant: Spray in someone's eyes if they give you trouble.
|
|
o Smoke Bomb: Helpful to divert attention or scare. [drop in telco car]
|
|
[Mix 3 parts potassium nitrate with 2 parts sugar and melt]
|
|
o Matches: For smoke bomb or anything that is flammable.
|
|
o Bandana/Surgical Mask: Manholes are dusty; Wear these for easier breathing.
|
|
o Marker: Mark your "territory" on phone boxes.
|
|
o Fake Telco ID Card: Will make some people think that you work for telco.
|
|
|
|
Organize your kit so you know where everything is and can get something quickly
|
|
when needed. You don't want to be fumbling for your mace when the gestapo is
|
|
about to get you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Test Phone:
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
The Test Phone is the most useful piece of equipment for Field Phreaking. You
|
|
can try to sneak into a telco Plant Department [truckyard] and get a real test
|
|
phone out of a truck like we did. If you'd rather not do this, don't worry;
|
|
making your own test phone is ultra-easy.
|
|
|
|
First, get a telephone for your own purposes. Find the wire coming out of the
|
|
phone that is supposed to go to the wall's modular jack. It should be at least
|
|
three feet long for convienience. Cut off the modular jack at the end of the
|
|
wire. Strip the wire, and there should be two or four small wires inside.
|
|
Hook the two middle wires to alligator clips [preferably insulated]. You now
|
|
have a test phone! Very easy, indeed. Now let's see if you hooked everything
|
|
up ok. First find your phone box. It'll probably be on the outside of your
|
|
house. It's farly small, and you might need the ratchet to open it up. Once
|
|
you get it open, you should see some screws. These are the terminals for your
|
|
phone line. Hook the alligator clips to the two top terminals. If your phone
|
|
is ok, you should get a dial tone. Once you know that your phone is working,
|
|
a whole new world opens up to you! You can hook the phone up to your
|
|
neighbor's terminal and call long distance or yell at the operator on their
|
|
line. Be careful, though. You don't want to be talking to Sue in L.A. when
|
|
your neighbors are home and awake. If they pick up the phone when you're
|
|
already on, you could get into serious trouble. Of course, you could always
|
|
listen in on them! If you want, you can hook wires up to your neighbor's
|
|
terminal and lead them to your house. In case you didn't know, this is called
|
|
Beige Boxing. You can then hack computers on their line, call Dial-A-Prayer,
|
|
etc. Make sure to hide the wire well so that it won't be traced to your
|
|
house!
|
|
|

|
|
Manholes:
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
One way to get access to an abundance of phone lines is by getting into telco
|
|
manholes. You don't want to accidentally get in a sewer manhole, so the first
|
|
thing to do is find the differences between sewer and telephone manholes. If
|
|
you have trouble with this, here's a few tips that might help:
|
|
o Telco manhole covers are usually larger and heavier than other covers.
|
|
o Telco manholes are scarce compared to sewer manholes. So if there are
|
|
a lot of checkered manhole covers in your area, those are probably sewer
|
|
manholes. If there are only a handful of unmarked manhole covers in
|
|
your area, those probably contain phone lines.
|
|
o Go to your local telco Central Office [CO] and find out what the manhole
|
|
covers look like there. Find manhole covers that look the same in other
|
|
areas, and pick a convenient/safe manhole to explore.
|
|
|
|
Getting into a manhole is a different story. Here in the Denver area, it takes
|
|
at least three people to get a manhole cover off. Hopefully it'll be easier
|
|
to do in your area. To open the manhole, you'll probably need at least two
|
|
crowbars [You could try using a pickaxe]. Get a group together to open the
|
|
manhole, using 2 or more people with crowbars to slide the cover off. You
|
|
might want to get a strong guy to push the manhole cover while the other people
|
|
with crowbars support it. If you know of a tool that was made specifically
|
|
for opening manholes, we'd appreciate it if you contacted us on
