[ Part I - MaBell Test Kit ]
|
|
|
|
Okay, this file will basically tell you how to make your own MaBell test
|
|
kit, if you don't already have one, and some basic things on using them with
|
|
Southwestern Bell Connect/Junction boxes. I am just going to call then Connect
|
|
boxes but the real name is Bridging Heads or Trunks. There is also the "can"
|
|
or Telephone pole distribution boxes.
|
|
|
|
First off, if you don't have a test kit, you can try to steal or find one.
|
|
Those manhole covers lying sround the city with the "Bell System" logo written
|
|
on them. You can open these with a crowbar abot 1/2 inch wide using th hook
|
|
side. If you get it open, go inside, there will usually be alot of wires on
|
|
the walls, a color code chart, and possibly some telco manuals and test kits,
|
|
and other testing equipment. So if you can get a crowbar, get into those holes.
|
|
|
|
Now, if you can't find a test kit, you can make your own very easy. I will
|
|
now describe how to build your own MutantBell test kit.
|
|
|
|
Materials:
|
|
|
|
1 MaBell standard phone
|
|
1 standard phone line
|
|
1 standard MaBell or Radio Shack wall jack (external or internal)
|
|
2 Alligator clips
|
|
1 screwdriver
|
|
|
|
Okay, First you want to get the wall jack and look at the insides, I am using
|
|
a rectangualr external phone jack to do this, but they are all pretty much
|
|
the same, there should be 4 color coded wires, Red/Green/Black/Yellow. Now,
|
|
unscrew the terminals for Black and Yellow and remove the wire from the screws.
|
|
Now take your two alligator clips ( they should be insulated with at least 5
|
|
inches of wire leading from the clip ), and strip the ends of the wire. Now
|
|
unscrew the terminals for Red and Green, take the Red & Greem wires and place
|
|
them on the Black and Yellow terminals, but before you screw them back down,
|
|
take the stripped alligator clip wire and twist it around the screw with the
|
|
Red & Green ( 1 clip for each terminal ), then screw down the terminals so the
|
|
Red & Green wires are held down with the wire from an alligator clip, I will
|
|
try and make a small diagram.

Now take one end of the phone cord and plug it itno the phone jack, and plug
|
|
the other end into your phone, you now have a HomeAid Test kit for tapping and
|
|
screwing with phones..
|
|
|
|
After you have completed your Test kit you are ready to test it on your own
|
|
house. But first, let me describe what you should have with you before you
|
|
go out on any missions.
|
|

The Phone God's Phone Terrorist Kit
|
|
===================================
|
|
Flashlight
|
|
Test Kit
|
|
Ratchet wrench with a 7/16 inch Hex socket
|
|
Flathead screwdriver
|
|
Pencil and paper
|
|
and some extra alligator clips
|
|
|
|
I put all of the above equipment in a black duffle bag which could be easily
|
|
carried, ( you might have to do some fence jumping later on.)
|
|
|
|
Now to test your kit, in your backyard or somewhere on your house should be
|
|
a Residence Terminal box, it's will usually be small, gray, and made of
|
|
hard plastic ( standard AT&T ). It connects the cables from the local splitter
|
|
box to your house wiring, when opened ( some have to be opened with the 7/16
|
|
hex and others can be opened by pulling off the cover. ) Inside there should
|
|
be 4 Terminals.. the top two will have Red and Green wires connected to them
|
|
and the bottom might have Black and Yellow connected if your house has two
|
|
lines. Now for some phone information. Your house has 2 pairs of wires,
|
|
Red & Green are the standard phone line of you house, if you have another line
|
|
put in, then that line will use Black and Yello wiring. Now take your test kit
|
|
and connect the alligator clips to the color coded wire terminals. Connect
|
|
the clip for Green to the green wire and the clip for Red to the red wire.
|
|
There is a screw that the house wires are connected to, just place the clips on
|
|
these screws and it will connect the test kit. Now pick up your phone and you
|
|
should get a dial tone, or hear whoever is using the phone. You can make calls
|
|
and listen in etc.. If the phone is dead when you connect try switching the
|
|
wires or check to make sure your connections are done properly.
|
|
|
|
[ Part 2 - The Splitter Box ]
|
|
|
|
Description: Black, Grey, or Green round or rectangular thing at every
|
|
telephone pole. ( May be in neighbors back yard! )
|
|
|
|
The splitter box is the box that holds all the lines for a group of 4 or 5
|
|
houses. It will usually be locked, but thats what the 7/16 ratchet wrench is
|
|
for! There should be a hex nut near the base of the box, take the 7/16 socket
|
|
and turn the nut about 1/8 of a turn to the right ( you might hear a spring
|
|
release on the inside ). Then pull open the box ( harder than it sounds, )
|
|
they can make a lot of noise so do it slow, you usually have to pull the cover
|
|
up, then out to get it open. Inside should be 2 horizontal rows of terminals.
|
|
You can use your test set exactly like on your house, just connect to the
|
|
terminals and pick up the phone. If you want to figure ou what number you are
|
|
using, here are a few number to dial when connected to a terminal:
|
|
|
|
ANI - Automatic Number Identification
|
|
|
|
For the 213 NPA - Dial 1223
|
|
408 NPA - Dial 760
|
|
914 NPA - Dial 990
|
|
713 NPA - Dial 380-55555555 ( Hit the fives real quick and wait )
|
|
|
|
These are Telco test numbers that reports to you the number that you are
|
|
calling from. They are extremely useful when fucking with terminals, for
|
|
instance, you can use it to find the neighbor's phone number, then once you
|
|
know which terminal is for his house, start a conference or dial a bunch of
|
|
976-numbers...
|
|
|
|
One other thing that can be done with the Splitter box is "Piggybacking" the
|
|
lines. in other words, swap lines with your neighbor, and wreak havoc on
|
|
the neighboorhood (tapping time) However, I don't recommend this until you
|
|
know exactly what you are doing because it's difficult to do it correctly.
|
|
WARNING: All active line carry 15 to 48 VDC (Volts Direct Current) and when
|
|
they are ringing carry up to 90VAC (Volts Alternating Current), so
|
|
be extremely careful because it can really suprise you and even kill
|
|
you if you are screwing around.
|
|
|
|
Also, when yu are done with a box, close it real good and lock it, otherwise
|
|
someone will notice the open box and call Telco, so make sure you keep it
|
|
closed when not in use. ( Also, if you want to find some good loop lines,
|
|
try using your Wargames dialer to scan the 00XX or 99XX #'s the tone sides will
|
|
announce themselves with a 1000hz loop tone and the hang side will give no
|
|
response. )
