Introduction
|
|
Since the beginning of the telephone revolution, there have been ways to
|
|
trace a line. When there used to be operators with plugs and huge switchboards,
|
|
they could manually trace the line. Then came the crossbar switching, in which
|
|
they could trace the line three ways: Lock-In tracing, manual tracing (Never
|
|
done, anymore), or time syncronization. The ESS (Electronic Switching System)
|
|
brought an "Impossible" to beat tracing mechanism, ANI.
|
|
|
|
Chapter One : Lock-In tracing
|
|
Lock-In tracing is exactly what the name says. It is a type of tracing
|
|
most often used by the FBI. The method of which Lock-In works is quite simple.
|
|
When a conversation is going on, there is voltage going through the line to keep
|
|
it open for those people talking. When lock-in is used, after the caller-to-be-
|
|
traced hangs up, a special FBI machine sends voltage down the line to make the
|
|
Phone Co's machines think that the line is still being used. Then that gives the
|
|
FBI time to trace manually.
|
|
|
|
The DIFT Box
|
|
There is only one way that I have heard of beating Lock-In. If you keep
|
|
picking up the phone and hanging up, and the line doesn't go to a dialtone,
|
|
there is a chance that you are being traced. The way to stop this is to send a
|
|
current down the line, too. First you have to find a corner in your house where
|
|
the phone wire is running along. Then you can install 'Billy Heif's Peachy
|
|
Tracer Breaker', or simply, "The DIFT box". Here's the simple schmatics for it:
|
|
|
|
|
|
-----> RED -----> |-----/-----| >---------- RED TO LINE -------->
|
|
rom phone----->Green-----> |-----\-----| >----------Green to line ------->
|
|
----->Black-----> |-----/-----| >----------Black to line ------->
|
|
| \ |
|
|
| / \ |
|
|
| + - |
|
|
|
|
Tracer Breakes
|
|
|
|
Where you see the plus and minus, you hook up a big 6 or 12 volt battery.
|
|
Make sure you put a switch in there somewhere, so you can switch it on fast.
|
|
Hook the + and - to all the lines going out. I think that will work, I am pretty
|
|
sure. Try testing it out first. While you are talking to one of your buds, click
|
|
it on.
|
|
|
|
Chapter Two : Manual Tracing
|
|
Manual tracing is just following a line back to its source. I am not
|
|
talking literally, jut following it from circuits. This takes a HELL of a long
|
|
time, like 10-20 mins or more. The only way to prevent this is to make your
|
|
calls short and sweet,
|
|
so they don't have time. Of course, if you get Locked-In, you should click on
|
|
your DIFT box for about 30 seconds.
|
|
|
|
Chapter Three : Time Syncro Tracing
|
|
Time Syncro Tracing is very simple. Let's say Bob Retard is getting 100
|
|
prank calls a night (From those guys who wrote "Anarchy Phone Pranks I,II,III,
|
|
IV"). Now Bob calls up the phone company, who sends out a techie with a clock
|
|
syncronized to the phone co.'s clock. When Bob gets his prank call that night,
|
|
he just hits the button that stops the clock. Then he calls the company and
|
|
tells them the time that he got the call. They run it through their computers
|
|
and come up with a call made at that exact time, and where it came from.
|
|
|
|
This tracing is instoppable, so just don't crank someone all the time.
|
|
But if you do it on some night like Friday, when there are a million calls
|
|
going on at once, then it is pretty safe.
|
|
|
|
Chapter Four : Automatic NumberIdentification (ANI)
|
|
Automatic Number Identification (ANI) is a tracing mechanism available
|
|
ONLY in ESS areas. ANI works because the YUR phone co.'s computer sends a few
|
|
digital-encoded numbers to the DESTINATION'S phone co's computer. Then the
|
|
other computer, and your co.'s computer knows INSTANTLY where it is comin from.
|
|
Ways to tell if you have ESS: (Stolen from some G-File)
|
|
1) 911 service
|
|
2) dialtone first at payphones
|
|
3) call waiting and that shit
|
|
Well, ANI is not absolutely foolproof. I guess you could make a
|
|
cheesebox to get around it or something. It would not be hard to do that.
|
|
|
|
There was an incident back in March, 1988, concerning ANI. Some idiot
|
|
introduced the idea of the "Sprint Back Door", which gave you access to call
|
|
anywhere in the world for "Free". Little did they know that Sprint's ANI machine
|
|
was working hard, and everyone was sent a bill at the end of the month. So,
|
|
watch it with this thing. I think there used to be a number you could call, and
|
|
the thing would call you back, using ANI. Pretty sure it's gone now.
|
|
|
|
Conclusion
|
|
Well, that does it for most tracing techniques. I hope you guys kinda
|
|
understood my DIFT box. If you don't, contact me through E-Mail at any of the
|
|
boards at the end of this file. I have my computer answer sometimes, with an
|
|
Answering Machine type program, where you can leave mail and crap. Ask me for
|
|
the #.

|
|
Like every piece of great literature, comes this. I don't take
|
|
responsiblity for any of YOUR fuck ups. If you get busted with your DIFT box,
|
|
it IS a federal offense. This file was meant as INFORMATIONAL purposes only, and
