Now that those assholes are gone, everyone else come back,
all others should read on(including the guys I told to see a
doctor). Enjoy this documentation, it is the result of many
sleepless nights, many hours of downloading, buffering, and CHATs
to get the necessary information for you all. By the time you
read this I will probably have about 40-60k more of texts to add
to the file, as I have sitting in front of me a few articles on
jailbreak, car theft, atombombs (<--most humorous article, a must
read.), radar guns, unemployment checks while you still have a
job, free food, anti-police warfare, phreaking(@), knife
fighting, the making of viruses (comes complete with a starter
kit/file) etc. I'm sure you'll all enjoy these, but for now, just
read the ones here, it will take you long enough as it is.

BETTER HOMES AND BLUE BOXING / -=+DarkStorm+=-\
PART I \(Much easier to /
THEORY OF OPERATION / read now.) \
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- \_________________/
To quote KARL MARX, BLUE Boxing has ALWAYS been the most noble
form of Phreaking. As opposed to such things as using an MCI code
to make a free fone call, which is merely mindless pseudo-
phreaking, BLUE boxing is actual interaction with the BELL SYSTEM
TOLL NETWORK. it is like wise advisable to be more cautious when
BLUE boxing, but the careful phreak will NOT BE CAUGHT,
regardless of what type of switching system he is under.
{{Perhaps not the Careful phreak, but it is hard to tell if you
are careful ENOUGH. If you get caught, you know you weren't
careful enough. Too bad there's such a penalty for it.... Good
luck my friends!}}
In this part, I will explain how and why BLUE boxing works,
as well as where. In later parts, I will give more practical
information for BLUE boxing and routing information. ----
Communications with trunks.-----
Trunks must NOT be confused with SUBSCRIBER LINES (or
"Customer Loops") which are standard telefone lines. Trunks are
those lines that connect central offices. Now, when trunks are
NOT in use (I.E., Idle or "ON-HOOK" state) They have 2600Hz
applied to them. If they are Two-way Trunks, there is 2600Hz in
both directions. When a trunk is in use (Busy or "OFF-HOOK"
state), The 2600Hz is removed from the side that is off-hook. the
2600Hz is therefore known as a Supervisory Signal, because it
indicated the status of a trunk; on hook (TONE) or off-hook (NO
TONE). NOTE also that 2600Hz is denoted SF (Single frequency)
signalling and is "IN-BAND." This is very important. "IN-BAND"
means that it is within the band of frequencies that may be
transmitted over normal telefone lines. Other SF Signals, such as
3700Hz are used also. However, they cannot be carried over the
telefone network normally (They are "OUT-OF-BAND" and are
therefore NOT able tobe taken advantage of as 2600Hz is. Back to
trunks. Let's take a hypothetical phone call. You pick up your
fone and dial 1+806-258-1234(Your goof friend in Amarillo Texas).
For ease we'll assume that you are on #5 crossbar swithcing and
not in the 806 area. Your central office (CO) would recognize
Page 6
that 806 is a Foreign NPA, so it would route the call to the toll
centre that serves you. [For the sake of experienced reader, note
that the CO in question is a Class 5 with LAMA that uses
OUT-OF-BAND SF supervisory signalling]. Depending on where you
are in the country, the call would leave your toll centre(on more
trunks) to abother tollcenter, OR office of higher "RANK".Then it
would be routed to centraloffice 806-258 eventually and the call
would be completed. ILLUSTRATION:

TRUNK BECAUSE THE CALLED END IS STILL ON-HOOK, BUT YOU DON'T
ACTUALLY HEAR IT BECAUSE OF A FILTER. HOWEVER, THE
BELL EQUIPMENT KNOWS IT'S THERE (THEY CAN "HEAR" IT). THE
PRESENCE OF THE 2600HZ IS TELLING THE BILLING EQUIP-
MENT THAT YOUR CALL HAS NOT YET BEEN COMPLETED (I.E., THE CALLED
END IS STILL ON-HOOK). WHEN FINALLY YOU DO
2600HZ FROM THE CALLED END TERMINATES. THIS TELLS THE BILLING
EQUIPMENT THAT SOMEONE PICKED UP THE FONE AT THE CALLED END AND
YOU SHOULD BEGIN TO BE BILLED. SO YOU DO START TO GET BILLED,
BUT FOR THE CALL TO THE TRUNK, NOT THE BOXED CALL. YOUR BILLING
EQUIPMENT THINKS THAT YOU'VE CONNECTED WITH THE NUMBER YOU USED
TO SEIZE THE TRUNK.
ILLUSTRATION:
WHEN YOU SEIZE A TRUNK (BEFORE THE NUMBER YOU CALLED ANSWERS)
THERE IS NO AFFECT ON YOUR BILLING EQUIPMENT. IT SIMPLY THINKS
THAT YOU'RE STILL WAITING FOR THE CALL TO COMPLETE
(THE CALLED END IS STILL ON-HOOK; IT IS RINGING, BUSY, GOING TO
RECORDING OR INTERCEPT OPERATOR).
NOW, LET'S SAY THAT YOU'VE SEZIED A TRUNK (806-258-2222) AND
FOR EXAMPLE, KP+314+949+1705+ST. THE CALL IS ROUTED
FROM THE TANDEM YOU SEIZED TO: 314-949-1705.
ILLUSTRATION:
<------------------>O<--------------->
(YOU) 806 314-949
TANDEM
NOTE THAT THE ENTIRE PATH TOWARDS THE RIGHT (THE CALLED END)
HAS NO 2600HZ PRESENT AND IS THEREFORE "OFF-HOOK." THE ENTIRE
PATH TOWARDS THE LEFT (THE CALLING END) DOES HAVE 2600HZ
PRESENT ON IT, INDICATING THAT THE CALLED END HAS NOT PICKED UP
(OR COME "OFF-HOOK"). WHEN 314-949-1705 ANSWERS,
"ANSWER SUPERVISION" IS GIVEN AND THE 2600HZ TOWARDS THE LEFT
(THE CALLING END) TERMINATES. THIS TELLS YOUR BILLING EQUIPMENT,
WHICH THINKS THAT YOU'RE STILL WAITING TO BE CONNECTED
WITH 806-258-2222, THAT YOU'VE FINALLY CONNECTED. BILLING THEN
BEGINS TO 806-258-2222. NOT EXACTLY AN AUSPICIOUS BEGINNING FOR
AN ASPIRING YOUNG PHONE PHREAK.
Page 10
Page 11
THUS, IF YOU SEIZE A TRUNK IN 806 NPA AND WANTED AN INWARD (IN
806), THEN YOU WOULD DIAL KP+121+ST. IF YOU WANTED A 312 INWARD
AND WERE DIALING ON AN 806 TRUNK, AN AREA CODE WOULD BE REQUIRED.
THUS, YOU WOULD DIAL KP+312+121+ST.
FINALLY, SOME PLACES IN THE NETWORK REQUIRE SPECIAL ROUTING,
IN ADDITION TO AN AREA CODE. AN EXAMPLE IS FRANKLIN PARK, ILL. IT
REQUIRES A SPECIAL ROUTING OF 032. FOR THIS, YOU WOULD
DIAL KP+312+032+121+ST FOR A FRANKLIN PARK INWARD OPERATOR.
SPECIAL ROUTINGS ARE IN THE FORMAT OF 0XX. THEY ARE USED
PRIMARILY FOR LOAD BALANCE, SO THAT TRAFFIC FLOW
MAY BE EVENLY DISTRIBUTED. ABOUT HALF OF THE EXCHANGES IN THE
NETWORK REQUIRE SPECIAL ROUTING. NOTE THAT SPECIAL ROUTINGS ARE
NEVER EVER EVER USED TO DIAL NORMAL TELEPHONE NUMBERS,
ONLY OPERATORS.
OPERATOR FUNCTIONS:
2. NAMEPLACE INFORMATION. RATE & ROUTe WILL GIVE YOU THE LOCATION
OF AN NPA+ EXCHANGE. EXAMPLE: "NAMEPLACE PLEASE, FOR 215-648."
THE OPERATOR WOULD RESPOND WITH "PAOLI, PENNSYLVANIA."
THIS ISN'T ESPECIALLY USEFUL, SINCE YOU CAN GET THE SAME
INFORMATION (LEGALLY) BY DIALING 0, BUT USING RATE & ROUTE IS
OFTEN MUCH FASTER AND IT AVOIDS HAVING TO HANG UP WHEN YOU ARE
ALREADY ON A TRUNK.
*NOTE ON RATE & ROUTE: AS A BLUE BOXER, ALWAYS ASK FOR "IOTC"
ROUTINGS. (E.G.,"IOTC OPERATOR'S ROUTE", "IOTC NUMBERS
ROUTE", ETC.) THIS TELLS THEM THAT YOU WANT CORDBOARD-TYPE
ROUTINGS, NOT TSPS, BECAUSE A BLUE BOXER IS ACTUALLY JUST A
CORDBOARD POSITION (THAT BELL DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT).

OVERSEAS COMPLETION OPERATOR (INBOUND) THESE OPERATORS
(KP+151+ST) ASSIST IN THE COMPLETION OF CALLS COMING IN TO
THE UNITED STATES FROM OVERSEAS. THERE NPAS IN THE COUNTRY
(NAMELY 303). TO USE ONE, YOU WOULD SEIZE A TRUNK AND
DIAL KP+303+151+ST. THEN YOU WOULD TELL THE OPERATOR, FOR
EXAMPLE, "THIS IS BANGLADESH CALLING. I NEED U.S.
NUMBER 215-561-0562 PLEASE." [IN A BROKEN INDIAN ACCENT]. SHE
WOULD CONNECT YOU, AND THE BILL WOULD BE SENT TO BANGLADESH
(WHERE I'VE BEEN BILLING MY KP+151+ST CALLS FOR TWO
YEARS).

(IT IS ASSUMED THAT THE READER HAS READ AND UNDERSTOOD PARTS I &
II BEFORE PROCEEDING TO THIS PART).
CALL, KEY KP+COUNTRY CODE (NOT PADDED WITH ZEROS)+ CITY CODE+
NUMBER+ST. YOU WILL THEN BE CONNECTED, PROVIDING THE COUNTRY YOU
ARE CALLING CAN RECEIVE DIRECT-DIALED CALLS. THE U.S.S.R. IS AN
EXAMPLE OF EXAMPLE OF A BOXED INT'L CALL:
DIALING KP+182+ST WOULD GET YOU THE SENDER IN WHITE PLAINS, AND
KP+183+ST WOULD GET THE SENDER IN NYC, ETC., BUT THE KP+011+CC+ST
IS HIGHLY SUGGESTED (AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED). TO FIND OUT
WHAT SENDER YOU WERE ROUTED TO AFTER DIALING KP+011+CC+ST, DIAL
(AT INT'L DIAL TONE): KP+0000000+ST.
IF YOU HAVE DIFFICULTY IN REACHING A SENDER, CALL RATE AND
ROUTE AND ASK FOR A NUMBERS ROUTE FOR THE COUNTRY
YOU'RE DIALING. SOMETIMES, KP+011+PADDED COUNTRY CODE+ST WILL NOT
WORK.
Page 17
I HAVE FOUND THIS IN MANY 3-DIGIT COUNTRY CODES. LEXEMBOURG,
COUNTRY CODE 352, FOR EXAMPLE, SHOULD BE KP+011+352+ST
THEORETICALLY. BUT IT IS NOT. IN THIS CASE, DIAL KP+011+
003+ST FOR THE OVERSEAS GATEWAY. IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE, TRY DIALING
KP+011+FIRST DIGIT OF COUNTRY CODE+ST, OR CALL RATE AND ROUTE.
THE IOCC
ROUTE AND ASK FOR AN "IOTC NUMBERS ROUTE" OR "IOTC OPERATORS
ROUTE" FOR A FOREIGN COUNTRY, YOU WILL GET SOMETHING LIKE
"160+700" (AS IN THE CASE OF THE SOVIET UNION). THIS MEANS
THAT THE COUNTRY IS NOT DIALABLE DIRECTLY AND MUST BE HANDLED
THROUGH THE INTERNATIONAL OVERSEAS COMPLETION CENTRE (IOCC). FOR
AN IOCC ROUTING, PAD THE COUNTRY CODE TO THE RIGHT WITH
ZEROS UNTIL IT IS 3 DIGITS. THEN KP+160 IS DIALED, PLUS THE
PADDED COUNTRY CODE, PLUS ST.
EXAMPLES:
YOU WILL THEN BE ROUTED TO THE IOCC IN PITTSBURG, PA, WHO WILL
ASK FOR COUNTRY, CITY, AND NUMBER BEING DIALED.
MANY TIMES THEY WILL ASK FOR A RINGBACK [THANKS TO TELENET BOB]
SO HAVE A LOOP READY. THEY WILL THEN PLACE THE CALL AND CALL YOU
BACK (OR SOMETIMES PUT YOU THROUGH DIRECTLY). SOME CALLS, SUCH
AS TO MOSCOW, TAKE SEVERAL HOURS.
THE RATE QUOTE SYSTEM (RQS).
SIMPLE SCANNING.
THERE, NOW YOU KNOW AS MUCH ABOUT BLUE BOXING AS MOST PHREAKS.
IF YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL, AND PUT ASIDE
PRECONCEIVED IDEAS OF WHAT BLUE BOXING IS THAT YOU MAY HAVE
ACQUIRED FROM INEXPERIENCED PEOPLE OR OTHER BULLETIN BOARDS, YOU
SHOULD BE WELL ON YOU WAY TO AN ENLIGHTENING CAREER IN BLUE
BOXING. IF YOU FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES IN PART I TO BOX, YOU
SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE FONE COMPANY. COMMENTS MADE BY
"PHREAKS" ON BULLETIN BOARDS THAT PROCLAIM "TRACING"
OF BLUE BOXERS ARE NONSENSE AND SHOULD BE IGNORED (EXCEPT FOR A
PASSING CHUCKLE).
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS TEXT, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO

1 #279-374 Modular line cord if you don't already have one. You
won't need one if your phone has a modular plug in its base.
$4.95
First off, open the modular block. You normally just pry them
open with a screwdriver. Inside you'll find up to 6 wires. Very
carefully cut out all but the green and red wires. The ones
Page 27
A. If your modem has two modular plugs in back, connect the Noise
Killer into one of them using a line cord. (a line cord is a
straight cord that connects a phone to the wall outlet. Usually
silver in color)
B. If your phone is modular, you can unplug the cord from the
back of it after you're on-line and plug the cord into the Noise
Killer.
C. You may have to buy a Y-type modular adaptor. Plug the adaptor
into a wall outlet, plug the modem into one side and the Noise
Killer into the other. Call a BBS that has known noise problems.
After you've connected and garbage begins to appear, plug the
Noise Killer into the phone line as described above. If you
have turned the shaft on the potentiometer the wrong way you'll
find out now. You may get a lot of garbage or even disconnected.
If this happens, turn the shaft the other way until it stops and
try again. If you don't notice much difference when you plug the
Noise Killer in, that may be a good sign. Type in a few commands
and look for garbage characters on the screen. If there still
is, turn the shaft slowly until most of it is gone. If nothing
seems to happen at all, turn the shaft slowly from one side to
the other. You should get plenty of garbage or disconnected at
some point. If you don't, reread this message to make sure you've
connected it right.

THE NEON BOX ANTI-LINENOISE
--------------------------------------
TOOLS:
------
THIS MODIFICATION IS VERY SIMPLE, AND CAN BE USED ON MOST FONES,
THOUGH IT IS MORE DIFFICULT ON ONE-PIECE UNITS. ALL YOU NEED IS
AN OLD PAIR OF HEADFONES, OR SIMILAR, A FILIPS SCREWDRIVER, A
SOLDERING IRON AND SOME SOLDER.
INSTRUCTIONS
------------
OPEN YOUR FONE WITH THE SCREWDRIVER. WHEN OPENED, LOOK FOR THE
RED AND BLACK WIRES THAT LEAD TO THE MOUTHPIECE. (IF YOU'RE NOT
SURE WHICH WIRES LEAD TO THE MOUTHPIECE, OPEN UP THE MOUTHPIECE
AND FIND THE SAME COLOR WIRES ON THE BASE. FOR ONE-PIECE
UNITS, JUST LOCATE THE MOUTHPIECE).
WHEN YOU HAVE FOUND THE MOUTHPIECE, OR WIRES, CUT THE EARD OF THE
HEADFONES OFF, AND ONE WIRE (THE ONE THAT LEADS TO THE RIGHT
EAR). STRIP THE LEFT WIRE SO ABOUT AN EIGHTH INCH IS SHOWING.
KEEP THE OTHER SIDE IN TACT.
THEN ON THE RED WIRE, SOLDER THE WIRE THAT IS SEPARATLY SEALED
FROM THE OTHER ONE. ON THE BLACK WIRE (THESE ARE THE ENDS OF THE
WIRE ON THE CIRCUIT BOARD) SOLDER THE WAIRE WRAPPED AROUND THE
OTHER WIRE. THEN SOLDER A HOLE FOR THE WIRE. YOU HAVE NOW MADE
A NEON BOX.
This article will tell you how to change a normal touch tone
keypad and convert it to a portable unit. In addition, we
give the touch-tone frequencies.
First of all, the tones made by a touch tone telephone are not
single tones, they are a combination of two tones, making "DTMF"
(dual tone multi-frequency). The normal tone telephone dials 12
different signals, but is capable of dialing 16 different signals
(see bulletin on silver boxes).
A few construction notes, I suggest that you solder and tape all
connections. It is also important to read this entire bulletin
before attempting to construct this.
Page 31
from the keypad to the GREEN wire on the transformer. The BLACK
wire on the transformer should not be connected to anything,
along with quite a few wires from the keypad. The connection of
the keypad is now complete. All you have to do is connect two
nine volt batteries to the battery clips, and you'll be ready to
go. You may want to mount it in a case for easy portability.
Note that the silver box modification CAN be made to this unit,
allowing complete remote phreaking. When none of the buttons
are pressed, this unit uses NO power, thereby eliminating the
need for a power switch, and extending the life of the
batteries.

note3 - The speaker will emit low tones when the SPST is closed
(ie the box is "ON") and when the settings of VR1 are moved to
higher resistance the tone level will increase.
Usage of box.
Disclaimer.
Yes, I will refuse to take responsibility for your incompetence
in electrical doings. This includes my reluctance to give court
testimony, etc. etc.
All right, now that that is cleared up, here is the basis of
the box and it's function.
The Blotto Box is every phreaks dream... you could hold AT&T
down on it's knee's with this device. Because, quite simply, it
can turn off the phone lines everywhere. Nothing. Blotto. No
calls will be allowed out of an area code, and no calls will be
allowed in. No calls can be made inside it for that matter. As
long as the switchhing system stays the same, this box will not
stop at a mere area code. It will stop at nothing. The electrical
impulses that emit from this box will open every line. Every
line will ring and ring and ring... the voltage will never be cut
off until the box/ generator is stopped. This is no 200 volt job,
here. We are talking GENERATOR. Every phone line will continue to
ring, and people close to the box may be electricuted if they
pick up the phone.
But, the Blotto Box can be stopped by merely cutting of the
line or generator. If they are cut off then nothing will emit
any longer. It will take a while for the box to calm back down
Page 38
Page 39
without reading the file first, you sill realizd0now tHat your
area code is about to become null! Then, getting back, twitch the
pole/remote control and run for your damn life. Anywhere, just
get away from it. It will be generating so much electricity that
if you stand to close you will kill yourself. The generator
will smoke, etc. but will not stop. You are now killing your area
code, because all of that energy is spreading through all of the
phone lines around you in every direction.
Have a nice day!

INTRODUCTION
------------
Have you ever wanted a lineman's handset? Surely every
phreak has at least once considered the phun that he could have
with one. After searching unlocked phone company trucks for one
for months, we had an idea. We could build one. We did, and
named it the "Beige Box," simply because that is the color of
ours. In the following file we will give complete instructions
for the construction and use of a Beige Box.
------------
CONSTRUCTION
------------
Page 41
There are many uses for the Beige Box. However, before
you can use it, you must know how to attach it to its output
device. This device can be any of several Bell switching
apparatus that include terminal sets (i.e., remote switching
centers, bridging heads, cans, etc.). To open most Bell
Telephone switching apparatus, you must have a 7/16 inch hex
driver. This piece of equipment can be picked up at your local
hardware store. With your 7/16 hex driver, turn the security
bolt(s) approximately 1/8 of an inch counter-clockwise and
open. If your output device is locked, then you must have some
knowledge of destroying and/or picking locks. However, we have
never encountered a locked output device. Once you have opened
your output device, you should see a mass of wires connected to
terminals. On most of your output devices, the terminals should
be labeled "T" (Tip -- if not labeled, it is usually on the left)
and "R" (Ring -- if not labeled, it is usually on the right).
Remember: Ring - red - right. The "Three R's" -- a simple way
to remember which is which.
Now you must attach the red alligator clip (ring) to the
"R" (ring) terminal. Attach the green alliagtor clip (tip) to
the "T" (tip) terminal. NOTE: If instead of a dial tone you
hear nothing, re-adjust the alligator clips so that they are not
touching each other or other terminals. Also make sure that they
are firmly attached. By this time you should hear a dial tone.
Dial ANI and find out the number that you are using (you wouldn't
want to use your own).
Here are some practical applications:
o Eavesdropping
o Long distance, static-free phone calls to
phriends
o Dialing direct to Alliance Conferencing (also
static-free)
o Phucking people over
o Bothering the operator at little risk to
yourself
o Blue Boxing with a greatly reduced chance of
getting caught
o Anything at all that you want, since you are
an extension on that line

/-/ in Trace /-/
/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
A lock in trace is a device used by the F.B.I. to lock into the
phone users location so that he can not hang up while a trace is
in progress. For those of you who are not familiar with the
concept of 'locking in', then here's a brief description.
The F.B.I. can tap into a conversation, sort of like a three-way
call connection. Then, when they get there, they can plug
electricity into the phone line. All phone connections are held
open by a certain voltage of electricity, that is why you
sometimes get static and faint connections when you are calling
far away, because the electricity has trouble keeping the line
up. What the lock in trace does is cut into the line and generate
that same voltage straight into the lines. That way, when you
try and hang up, voltage is retained. Your phone will ring just
like someone was calling you even after you hang up. (If you have
call waiting, you should understand better about that, for call
waiting intercepts the electricity and makes a tone that means
someone is going through your line. Then, it is a matter of which
voltage is higher. When you push down the receiver, then it
see-saws the electricity to the other side. When you have a
person on each line it is impossible to hang
up unless one or both of them will hang up. If you try to hang
up, voltage is retained, and your phone will ring. That should
give you an understanding of how calling works, also. When
Page 45
MAKE SURE THE ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE IS TURNED OFF unless you wanna
become a crispy critter while making this thing. Most plugs will
have a hard plastic design on the top of them to prevent you from
getting in at the electrical wires inside. Well, get a nice
one and remove it. If you want to keep the plug (I don't see
why...) then just cut the top off.
When you look inside, low and behold, you will see that at the
base of the prongs there are a few wires connecting in. Those
wires conduct the power into the appliance. So, you carefully
unwrap those from the sides and pull them out until they are
about and inch ahead of the prongs. If you don't wanna keep
the jack, then just rip the prongs out. If you are, cover the
prongs with insultation tape so they will not connect with the
wires when the power is being dvained from the line.
2)Do the same thing with the prongs on the other plug, so you
have the wires evenly connected. Now, wrap the end of the wires
around each other. If you happen to have the other end of the
voltage cord hooked into the phone, stop reading now, your too
fucking stupid to continue.
After you've wrapped the wires around each other, then cover the
whole thing with the plugs with insulating tape. Then, if you
built your own control box or if you bought one, then cram all
the wires into the box and reclose it. That box is your ticket
out of this.
3)Re-check everything to make sure it's all in place. This is a
pretty flimsy connection, but on later models when you get more
experienced at it then you can sauder{Solder, my friend} away at
it and form the whole device into one big box, with some kind of
cheap mattel hand-held game inside to be the power connector.
In order to use it, just keep this box handy. Plug it into the
jack if you want, but it will slightly lower the voltage so it
isn't connected. When you plug it in, if you see sparks, unplug
it and restart the WHOLE thing. But if it just seems fine then
leave it.

/-/ Using it !! /-/
/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
Now, so you have the whole thing plugged in and all... DO NOT
USE THIS UNLESS THE SITUATION IS DESPERATE! When the trace has
gone on, don't panic, unplug your phone, and turn on the
appliance that it was hooked to. It will need energy to turn
itself on, and here's a great source... the voltage to keep
a phone line open is pretty small and a simple light bulb should
drain it all in and probably short the F.B.I. computer at the
same time.

A Cheesebox (named for the type of box the first one was
found in) is a type of box which will, in effect, make
your telephone a Pay-Phone.....This is a simple,modernized, and
easy way of doing it....
Inside Info: These were first used by bookies many years ago
as a way of making calls to people without being
called by the cops or having their numbers traced and/or
tapped......
Ingredients:
------------
How To:
-------
In Order To Call Out On This Line:You must use your Red Box tones
and generate the quarter dropping in...then,you can make phone
calls to people...as far as I know, this is fairly safe, and
they do not check much...Although I am not sure, I think you can
even make credit-card calls from a cheesebox phone and not get
traced...

In some houses the black and yellow are already wired
in others you will have to go out to your box and rewire it. A
good way to figure out which line is which is to take the phone
you are looking for off the hook. Then you only need to take the
red and green wires entering your phone and hook them to the
different pairs of red and green going into the house. You can't
hurt anything in the phone or telephone by probeing. When you
find the pair that you want take the black from your line and
attach it to the red of the other line then take the yellow and
attach it to the green line. Now you are all set to go. For
people with rotary phones you can have one person call you then
place the second call out to the other person. Though not a
phreakers tool, the brown box can be phun.

THE 1.4K RESISTOR IS VERIABLE AND IF THE SECCOND PART OF THE GOLD
BOX IS SKIPPED IT WILL STILL WORK BUT WHEN SOMEONE PICKS THE
PHONE UP THEY WILL HEAR A FAINT DIAL TONE IN THE BACKGROUND AND
MIGHT REPORT IT TO THE GESTOPO ER...(AT&T). 1.4K WILL GIVE YOU
GOOD RECEPTION WITH LITTLE RISK OF A GESTOPO AGENT AT YOUR
DOOR.
NOW THAT YOU HAVE BUILT IT TAKE TWO GREEN WIRES OF THE SAME
LENTH STRIP THE ENDS, TWIST TWO ENDS TOGETHER AND CONNECT THEM TO
GREEN1 AND PLACE A PEICE OF TAPE ON IT WITH LINE #1 WRITING ON
IT.
CONTINUE THE PROCESS WITH RED1 ONLY USE RED WIRE. REPEAT WITH
RED2 AND GREEN2 BUT CHANGE TO LINE #2.
HOW TO INSTALL
______________
YOU WILL NEED TO FIND TWO PHONE LINES THAT ARE CLOSE TOGETHER.
LABEL ONE OF THE PHONES LINES LINE #1.CUT THE PHONE LINES AND
TAKE THE OUTER COUTING OFF IT. THERE SHOULD BE 4 WIRES CUT THE
YELLOW AND BLACK WIRES OFF AND STRIP THE RED AND GREEN WIRES FOR
BOTH LINES.
LINE #1 SHOULD BE IN TWO PEICES TAKE THE GREEN WIRE OF ONE END
AND CONNECT IT TO THE ONE OF THE GREEN WIRES ON THE GOLD BOX.
TAKE THE OTHER HALF OF LINE #1 AND HOOK THE FREE GREEN WIRE TO
THE GREEN WIRE ON THE PHONE LINE. REPEAT THE PROCESS WITH RED1
AND THE OTHER LINE.

First I will give you the schematic and then I will explain what
the hell is going on.
Ok. The '/\/\/' is the resistor. And '1 2 3' is the switch where
the numbers are the poles on the switch. Notice you leave the
black and yellow wires alone. You DO NOT cut them!
[
Strip the red and green wires so you've got about an inch of bare
wire. Solder some of the extra wire and follow the schematic. You
should have the resistor on the green wire with an extra piece
Page 55
of wire coming from one leg of it. The other leg goes to the
other end of the green wire. You should solder the green
wire to the left pole of the switch and the red to the middle and
the other end of the red to the right pole.
Now, lift up the phone. If all you get is an annoying buzz then
throw the [switch and you should get a dial tone. If not, don't
worry and just follow the instructions and schematic again.

Tools:
1 Soldering Iron and Solder.
1 flat-tip screwdriver.
1 Very patcient person.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
1: Take the casing off your phone by loosening the two screws
underneath it. (Don't take the screws all the way off!)
2: Loosen (But don't remove) the screws on the side of the
touch tone keypad. (The ones that attach it to the mounting
bracket.) and CAREFULLY remove the keypad from the mounting
bracket.
3: You will notice a plastic cover on the keypad; seperate the
two halves and get the out of your way. (Don't destroy them,
you will need them later.)
4: Now, look at the top of the pad (so the 123 row is facing
away, and the *0# row is toward you. Turn over the keypad.
You should see a mass of wires, gold plated contacts,
discrete components, and two large doughnut shaped black
thingies. (These are the coils that make the touch-tone
frequencies. All you are going to do is connect the wires
that Ma Bell "Forgot" to.)
5: Look at the coil on the left (with 5 solder contacts facing
you, rather than being perpendicular to you.) Count over 4
contacts FROM the left (or 2 conacts FROM the right) and
solder the GRAY wire to the fourth post FROM the left.
6: Solder the other end of the GRAY wire to the LEFT pole of
the SPDT switch.
7: (The point of no return)..........
Take a look at the bottom edge of the keypad. You should see
a row of three gold plated contacts (to the right of two
very large capasitors) look at the one on the left and
GENTELY seperate the two touching connectors (They are
soldered together with a drop of solder) and spread them
apart.
Page 59
8: Solder the brown wire to the top contact (The one futhest
from you), and solder it to the RIGHT pole of SPDT switch.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
DONE
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
10: Now put you phone back together. (To make it look
professonal, make a hole in the plastic top of your phone
and stick the SPDT switch through it.

USING A
SILVER BOX
-----------------------------------
First off, a silver box adds the four extra tones to your phone
that Ma Bell never told you about. They go like this:
1 2 3 A
4 5 6 B
7 8 9 C
* 0 # D
There used to be many places were you could use SILVER BOX
tones, but now you can only use it in places were Ma Bell hasn't
Page 60
THE RED BOX BASICALLY SIMULATES THE SOUND OF COINS BEING DROPPED
INTO THE COIN SLOT OF A PAY TELEPHONE. A PAY TELEPHONE GENERATES
A BURST OF TWO MIXED FREQUENCIES, 1700 HZ AND 2200 HZ, FOR A
SPECIFIC TIME INTERVAL TO DENOTE A NICKLR, DIME, OR QUARTER. A
NICKLE IS 1700 HZ +2200 HZ FOR 66 MILLISECONDS. A DIME IS 1700 HZ
+ 2200 HZ FOR 66 MILLI. SECS. ON, 66 MS. OFF , THEN 66 MS ON
AGAIN. FINALLY, A QUARTER IS 1700 HZ+2200 HZ FOR 33,MS ON, 33 MS,
OFF, CONTINUOSLY REPEATING FOR 5 TIMES.
THE MAP HAS MANY FIGURES THAT THE COMPUTER CANNOT PRODUCE.
SO REMEMBER IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE MAP SEND TWO DOLLARS TO THE
