PHREAKING A. What is phreaking [Don't do this unless you don't mind breaking federal law. This kinda goes back to not breaking into government computers. DON'T DO THIS UNLESS YOU ARE LIKELY TO BREAK INTO GOVERNMENT COMPUTERS. LIP] [Personally, I think that a government is likely to put far more resources into tracking the source of such computer breaches than into pursuing persons fiddling with the telephone system, even if similar laws might be violated. H.] Phreaking is basically hacking with a telephone. Using different "boxes" and "tricks" to manipulate the phone companies and their phones, you gain many things, two of which are: knowledge about telephones and how they work, and free local and long distance phone calls. In the following sections, you will learn some about boxes, what they are, and how they work. You will also learn about the other forms of phreaking. B. Why phreak? Phreaking, like hacking, is used to gather information about telephones, telephone companies, and how they work. There are other benefits as well. As stated above, you also get free phone calls. But, these are used mainly to gather more information about the phones, and to allow us free access to all information. C. Phreaking rules Most of the same rules apply for hacking and phreaking, so I will only list a few here. 1. Never box over your home phone line. 2. You should never talk about phreaking projects over your home phone line. 3. Never use your real name when phreaking. 4. Be careful who you tell about your phreaking projects. 5. Never leave phreaking materials out in the open. Keep them in a safe place. 6. Don't get caught. D. Where and how to start phreaking Well, you can phreak on any telephone, but as stated above, it is very stupid to do so on your home phone line. First you need you need to construct the boxes needed for what you want to do. All of the boxes and their descriptions are listed in the next section. Most of the boxes are very easy to make, but if your not into making shit, there are usually alternative ways of making them. E. Boxes and what they do Box: Description: Red Box generates tones for free phone calls Black Box when called, caller pays nothing Beige Box lineman's handset Green Box generates coin return tones Cheese Box turns your phone into a payphone Acrylic Box steal 3-way calling and other services Aqua Box stops F.B.I. lock-in-trace Blast Box phone microphone amplifier Blotto Box shorts out all phones in your area Blue Box generates 2600hz tone Brown Box creates party line Bud Box tap neighbors phone Chatreuse Box use electricity from phone Chrome Box manipulates traffic signals Clear Box free calls Color Box phone conversation recorder Copper Box causes crosstalk interference Crimson Box hold button Dark Box re-route calls Dayglo Box connect to neighbors phone line Divertor Box re-route calls DLOC Box create party line Gold Box dialout router Infinity Box remote activated phone tap Jack Box touch-tone key pad Light Box in-use light Lunch Box AM transmitter Magenta Box connect remote phone line to another Mauve Box phone tap without cutting into the line Neon Box external microphone Noise Box creates line noise Olive Box external ringer Party Box creates party line Pearl Box tone generator Pink Box creates party line Purple Box hold button Rainbow Box kill trace Razz Box tap neighbors phone Rock Box add music to phone line Scarlet Box causes interference Silver Box create DTMF tones for A,B,C, and D Static Box raises voltage on phone line Switch Box add services Tan Box phone conversation recorder TV Cable Box see sound waves on TV Urine Box create disturbance on phone headset Violet Box stop payphone from hanging up White Box DTMF key pad Yellow Box add line extension F. Box Plans The Red Box is the main tool that you will use so I have included the Red Box plans. The other box plans can be downloaded from the Internet. Red Box: There are two ways that you can make a Red Box: One is to go to Radio Shack and buy a tone dialer and a 6.5536Mhz crystal.(If Radio Shack doesn't have the crystal, you can order them from the electronics companies that I have listed at the end of this section.) Open up the tone dialer and replace the existing crystal (big, shiny, metal thing labeled "3.579545Mhz") with the 6.5536Mhz crystal. Now, close it up. You have a red box. To use it for long distance calls play the tones that add up to the amount of money that the operator requests. For a 25 cents tone press 5 *'s. For a 10 cents tone press 3 *'s. For a 5 cents tone press 1 *. And, the second way, which is a much easier method, is to get the Red Box tones from a phreaking program, such as: Omnibox, or Fear's Phreaker Tools. Play the tones as you hold a microcassette recorder about 1-inch away from your computer speakers, and record the tones. The Red Box only works on public telephones, it does not work on COCOT's.(Defined in next section.) It makes the telephone think that you have put money in. Red Boxes do not work on local calls because the phone is not using ACTS (Automated Coin Toll System), unless you call the operator and have her place the call for you. You tell her the number that you want to dial and then when she asks you to put in your money, play the tones. If she asks you why you need her to place the call tell her that one of the buttons is smashed in or something like that. You now have and know how to use a Red Box!

Free calling from COCOT's First of all, COCOT stands for "Customer Owned Customer Operated Telephone". These are most likely to be found at resteraunts, amusement parks, etc. All you have to do to make a free call from a COCOT is dial a 1-800 number (they let you do this for free), say some bullshit and get them to hang up on you. Stay on the line after they hang up, then dial the number that you want to call. This may not work by the time you read this because COCOT owners are becoming more aware of us every day. H. ANAC numbers ANAC stands for "Automated Number Announcment Circuit". In other words, you call the ANAC number in your area and it tells you the number that you are calling from. This is useful when Beige Boxing, or hooking your modem up to other phone lines, to find out what number you are using. The "?" are substituted for unknown numbers. Do some scanning to find them out. Here are the ANAC numbers for the U.S.A. with their area code, and the only one I knew of in the U.K.: U.S.A.: Area Code: ANAC Number: 201 958 202 811 203 970 205 300-222-2222 205 300-555-5555 205 300-648-1111 205 300-765-4321 205 300-798-1111 205 300-833-3333 205 557-2311 205 811 205 841-1111 205 908-222-2222 206 411 207 958 209 830-2121 209 211-9779 210 830 212 958 213 114 213 1223 213 211-2345 213 211-2346 213 760-2??? 213 61056 214 570 214 790 214 970-222-2222 214 970-611-1111 215 410-???? 215 511 215 958 216 200-???? 216 331 216 959-9968 217 200-???-???? 219 550 219 559 301 958-9968 310 114 310 1223 310 211-2345 310 211-2346 312 200 312 290 312 1-200-8825 312 1-200-555-1212 313 200-200-2002 313 200-222-2222 313 200-???-???? 313 200200200200200 314 410-???? 315 953 315 958 315 998 317 310-222-2222 317 559-222-2222 317 743-1218 334 5572411 334 5572311 401 200-200-4444 401 222-2222 402 311 404 311 404 940-???-???? 404 940 405 890-7777777 405 897 407 200-222-2222 408 300-???-???? 408 760 408 940 409 951 409 970-???? 410 200-6969 410 200-555-1212 410 811 412 711-6633 412 711-4411 412 999-???? 413 958 413 200-555-5555 414 330-2234 415 200-555-1212 415 211-2111 415 2222 415 640 415 760-2878 415 7600-2222 419 311 502 200-2222222 502 997-555-1212 503 611 503 999 504 99882233 504 201-269-1111 504 998 504 99851-0000000000 508 958 508 200-222-1234 508 200-222-2222 508 26011 509 560 510 760-1111 512 830 512 970-???? 515 5463 515 811 516 958 516 968 517 200-222-2222 517 200200200200200 518 511 518 997 518 998 603 200-222-2222 606 997-555-1212 606 711 607 993 609 958 610 958 610 958-4100 [Note from Bachrach: plain 958 does nothing, 958-4100 works.

Hacker's Manifesto "This is our world now...the world of the electron and the switch, the beauty of the baud. We make use of a service already existing without paying for what could be dirt cheep if it wasn't run by profiteering gluttons, and you call us criminals. We explore...and you call us criminals. We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias...and you call us criminals. You build atomic bombs, wage wars, murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it is for our own good, yet we're the criminals. Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for. I am a hacker and this is my manifesto. You may stop this individual, but you can't stop us all...after all, we're all alike." +++The Mentor+++ K. Happy hacking! Be careful and have fun. Remember to keep your eye out for the next volume of The Ultimate Beginner's Guide To Hacking And Phreaking and the Legion Of the Apocalypse W.W.W. page. Oh, and keep looking for our on-line magazine, too, it should be coming out soon. Well, I hope you enjoyed the file and found it informative.
