|
||
|
||
The following are a set of rules
|
||
which govern the actions and events
|
||
concerning phreaking and hacking.
|
||
All phreakers and hackers should
|
||
be familiar with these in order to
|
||
understand the universe that shhe
|
||
lives in...
|
||
|
||
No matter how soon you get a
|
||
Compuserve account #, by the time you
|
||
try it out, someone has changed the
|
||
password.
|
||
|
||
When hacking an extender or
|
||
a Sprint number, you will choose
|
||
a field of numbers that has no
|
||
valid codes whatsoever.
|
||
|
||
Cool boards are always busy.
|
||
|
||
Corollary: When a cool board is
|
||
not busy, that is because it is
|
||
temporarily down.
|
||
|
||
2600 hz tones never go through.
|
||
|
||
Red Boxes never work.
|
||
|
||
The popularity of a board is
|
||
directly proportional to the number
|
||
of local losers who will harrass
|
||
you on that board.
|
||
|
||
The probability of data loss is
|
||
directly proportional to the
|
||
importance of the file being
|
||
received.
|
||
|
||
No matter how soon you get a new
|
||
ware, at least 10 people already
|
||
have it.
|
||
|
||
Dow Jones passwords never work.
|
||
|
||
800 extenders are busy 99% of
|
||
the time.
|
||
|
||
Corrolary: When they are not
|
||
busy, your modem does not recog-
|
||
nize the carrier that the board
|
||
you have been trying to get through
|
||
to all night is sending because
|
||
the connection is so weak.
|
||
|
||
If you call a board without
|
||
using a long distance service, it
|
||
will ring. When you immediately
|
||
hang up to save your bill and call
|
||
back using a long distance service,
|
||
it will be busy.
|
||
|
||
Your last issue of 2600 got
|
||
"lost in the mail".
|
||
|
||
If only 3 people try to call
|
||
Sherwood Forest early Monday
|
||
morning, they will all call at
|
||
the same time and not try again.
|
||
|
||
All CNAA dialups become obsolete
|
||
upon posting on a board.
|
||
|
||
That 2400 baud modem you CC'd
|
||
will never come.
|
||
|
||
COSMOS never works the way it
|
||
should.
|
||
|
||
All home-made pyrotechnics will
|
||
explode prematurely.
|
||
|
||
Your prefix uses ESS. The only
|
||
people who are still on Crossbar
|
||
think "Control Characters" would be
|
||
Max, 99, and the Chief.
|
||
|
||
Black Boxes do not work anywhere
|
||
in the universe.
|
||
|
||
Your file at FBI headquarters is
|
||
growing daily.
|
||
|
||
Your home phone # has been posted
|
||
on a board in Nowhere, Iowa by some
|
||
Rodent you insulted 2 years ago.
|
||
|
||
Whenever you need a dumb operator,
|
||
you get a smart one.
|
||
|
||
Corollary: whenever you need
|
||
a smart operator, you will get a
|
||
dumb one.
|
||
|
||
Security guards check the trash
|
||
bins at AT&T only once a day- when
|
||
you are in them.
|
||
|
||
All carbon copies of credit card
|
||
receipts are illegible.
|
||
|
||
When you order something with
|
||
a CC, the salesman will invariably
|
||
ask for your home phone #.
|
||
|
||
That great computer system you spent
|
||
2 hours on yesterday had ANI.
|
||
|
||
TRW formats change every 7 minutes.
|
||
|
||
The probability that an Operator
|
||
will come on and take control of your
|
||
conference is directly proportional
|
||
to the number of people on and the
|
||
importance of the information being
|
||
conveyed.
|
||
|
||
Your 4-year old sister will come
|
||
into your room tomorrow and take apart
|
||
your blue box.
|
||
|
||
Files on hacking particular
|
||
are always incomplete and inacurate.
|
||
|
||
Your parents will confiscate your
|
||
modem tomorrow.
|
||
|
||
Your local telephone franchise has
|
||
noticed that you made over 300
|
||
WATS line calls last month.
