    Counterfeiting Money by JRoger
    Before reading this article, it would be a very good idea to get a
    book on photo offset printing, for this is the method used in
    counterfeiting US currency. If you are familiar with this method
    of printing, counterfeiting should be a simple task for you.
    Genuine currency is made by a process called "gravure", which
    involves etching a metal block. Since etching a metal block is
    impossible to do by hand, photo offset printing comes into the
    process.
    Photo offset printing starts by making negatives of the currency
    with a camera, and putting the negatives on a piece of masking
    material (usually orange in color). The stripped negatives,
    commonly called "flats", are then exposed to a lithographic plate
    with an arc light plate maker. The burned plates are then
    developed with the proper developing chemical. One at a time,
    these plates are wrapped around the plate cylinder of the press.
    The press to use should be an 11 by 14 offset, such as the AB Dick
    360. Make 2 negatives of the portrait side of the bill, and 1 of
    the back side. After developing them and letting them dry, take
    them to a light table. Using opaque on one of the portrait sides,
    touch out all the green, which is the seal and the serial numbers.
    The back side does not require any retouching, because it is all
    one color. Now, make sure all of the negatives are registered
    (lined up correctly) on the flats. By the way, every time you
    need another serial number, shoot 1 negative of the portrait side,
    cut out the serial number, and remove the old serial number from
    the flat replacing it with the new one.
    Now you have all 3 flats, and each represents a different color:
    black, and 2 shades of green (the two shades of green are created
    by mixing inks). Now you are ready to burn the plates. Take a
    lithographic plate and etch three marks on it. These marks must
    be 2 and 9/16 inches apart, starting on one of the short edges.
    Do the same thing to 2 more plates. Then, take 1 of the flats and
    place it on the plate, exactly lining the short edge up with the
    edge of the plate. Burn it, move it up to the next mark, and
    cover up the exposed area you have already burned. Burn that, and
    do the same thing 2 more times, moving the flat up one more mark.
    Do the same process with the other 2 flats (each on a separate
    plate). Develop all three plates. You should now have 4 images
    on each plate with an equal space between each bill.
    The paper you will need will not match exactly, but it will do for
    most situations. The paper to use should have a 25% rag content.
    By the way, Disaperf computer paper (invisible perforation) does
    the job well. Take the paper and load it into the press. Be sure
    to set the air, buckle, and paper thickness right. Start with the
    black plate (the plate without the serial numbers). Wrap it
    around the cylinder and load black ink in. Make sure you run more
    than you need because there will be a lot of rejects. Then, while
    that is printing, mix the inks for the serial numbers and the back
    side. You will need to add some white and maybe yellow to the
    serial number ink. You also need to add black to the back side.
    Experiment until you get it right. Now, clean the press and print
    the other side. You will now have a bill with no green seal or
    serial numbers. Print a few with one serial number, make another
    and repeat. Keep doing this until you have as many different
    numbers as you want. Then cut the bills to the exact size with a
    paper cutter. You should have printed a large amount of money by
    now, but there is still one problem; the paper is pure white. To
    dye it, mix the following in a pan: 2 cups of hot water, 4 tea
    bags, and about 16 to 20 drops of green food coloring (experiment
    with this). Dip one of the bills in and compare it to a genuine
    US bill. Make the necessary adjustments, and dye all the bills.
    Also, it is a good idea to make them look used. For example,
    wrinkle them, rub coffee grinds on them, etc.
    As before mentioned, unless you are familiar with photo offset
    printing, most of the information in this article will be fairly
    hard to understand. Along with getting a book on photo offset
    printing, try to see the movie "To Live and Die in LA". It is
    about a counterfeiter, and the producer does a pretty good job of
    showing how to counterfeit. A good book on the subject is "The
    Poor Man's James Bond".
    If all of this seems too complicated to you, there is one other
    method available for counterfeiting: The Canon color laser
    copier. The Canon can replicate ANYTHING in vibrant color,
    including US currency. But, once again, the main problem in
    counterfeiting is the paper used. So, experiment, and good luck!

    _Credit Card Fraud:
    -----------------
    For most of you out there, money is hard to come by. Until now:
    With the recent advent of plastic money (credit cards), it is
    easy to use someone else's credit card to order the items you have
    always desired in life. The stakes are high, but the payoff is
    worth it.
    Step One: Getting the credit card information
    First off, you must obtain the crucial item: someone's credit
    card number. The best way to get credit card numbers is to take
    the blue carbons used in a credit card transaction at your local
    department store. These can usually be found in the garbage can
    next to the register, or for the more daring, in the garbage
    dumpster behind the store. But, due to the large amount of credit
    card fraud, many stores have opted to use a carbonless transaction
    sheet, making things much more difficult. This is where your
    phone comes in handy.
    First, look up someone in the phone book, and obtain as much
    information as possible about them. Then, during business hours,
    call in a very convincing voice - "Hello, this is John Doe from
    the Visa Credit Card Fraud Investigations Department. We have
    been informed that your credit card may have been used for
    fraudulent purposes, so will you please read off the numbers
    appearing on your Visa card for verification." Of course, use
    your imagination! Believe it or not, many people will fall for
    this ploy and give out their credit information.
    Now, assuming that you have your victim's credit card number, you
    should be able to decipher the information given.
    Step Two: Recognizing information from carbon copies
    Card examples:
    [American Express]
    XXXX XXXXXX XXXXX
    MM/Y1 THRU MM/Y2
    JOE SHMOE
    [American Express]
    XXXX XXXXXX XXXXX
    MM/Y1 THRU MM/Y2
    JOE SHMOE
    Explanation:
    MM/Y1 is the date the card was issued, and MM/Y2 is the
    expiration date. The American Express Gold Card has numbers
    XXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX, and is covered for up to $5000.00,
    even if the card holder is broke.
    [Mastercard]
    5XXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
    XXXX AAA DD-MM-YY MM/YY
    JOE SHMOE
    Explanation:
    XXXX in the second row may be asked for during the ordering
    process. The first date is when the card was new, and the
    second is when the card expires. The most frequent number
    combination used is 5424 1800 XXXX XXXX. There are many of
    these cards in circulation, but many of these are on wanted
    lists, so check these first.
    [Visa]
    4XXX XXX(X) XXX(X) XXX(X)
    MM/YY MM/YY*VISA
    JOE SHMOE
    Explanation:
    Visa is the most abundant card, and is accepted almost
    everywhere. The "*VISA" is sometimes replaced with "BWG", or
    followed with a special code. These codes are as follows:
    [1] MM/YY*VISA V - Preferred Card
    [2] MM/YY*VISA CV - Classic Card
    [3] MM/YY*VISA PV - Premier Card
    Preferred Cards are backed with money, and are much safer to
    use. Classic Cards are newer, harder to reproduce cards with
    decent backing. Premier Cards are Classic Cards with Preferred
    coverage. Common numbers are 4448 020 XXX XXX, 4254 5123 6000
    XXXX, and 4254 5123 8500 XXXX. Any 4712 1250 XXXX XXXX cards
    are IBM Credit Union cards, and are risky to use, although
    they are usually covered for large purchases.
    Step Three: Testing credit
    You should now have a Visa, Mastercard, or American Express
    credit card number, with the victim's address, zip code, and phone
    number. By the way, if you have problems getting the address,
    most phone companies offer the Address Tracking Service, which is
    a special number you call that will give you an address from a
    phone number, at a nominal charge. Now you need to check the
    balance of credit on the credit card (to make sure you don't run
    out of money), and you must also make sure that the card isn't
    stolen. To do this you must obtain a phone number that
    businesses use to check out credit cards during purchases. If you
    go to a department store, watch the cashier when someone makes a
    credit card purchase. He/she will usually call a phone number,
    give the credit information, and then give what is called a
    "Merchant Number". These numbers are usually written down on or
    around the register. It is easy to either find these numbers and
    copy them, or to wait until they call one in. Watch what they
    dial and wait for the 8 digit (usually) merchant number. Once you
    call the number, in a calm voice, read off the account number,
    merchant number, amount, and expiration date. The credit bureau
    will tell you if it is ok, and will give you an authorization
    number. Pretend you are writing this number down, and repeat it
    back to them to check it. Ignore this number completely, for it
    serves no real purpose. However, once you do this, the bank
    removes dollars equal to what you told them, because the card was
    supposedly used to make a purchase. Sometimes you can trick the
    operator by telling her the customer changed his mind and decided
    not to charge it. Of course, some will not allow this. Remember
    at all times that you are supposed to be a store clerk calling to
    check out the card for a purchase. Act like you are talking with
    a customer when he/she "cancels".
    Step Four: The drop
    Once the cards are cleared, you must find a place to have the
    package sent. NEVER use a drop more than once. The following are
    typical drop sites:
    [1] An empty house
    An empty house makes an excellent place to send things. Send the
    package UPS, and leave a note on the door saying, "UPS. I work
    days, 8 to 6. Could you please leave the package on the back door
    step?" You can find dozens of houses from a real estate agent by
    telling them you want to look around for a house. Ask for a list
    of twenty houses for sale, and tell them you will check out the
    area. Do so, until you find one that suits your needs.
    [2] Rent A Spot
    U-Haul sometimes rents spaces where you can have packages sent and
    signed for. End your space when the package arrives.
    [3] People's houses
    Find someone you do not know, and have the package sent there.
    Call ahead saying that "I called the store and they sent the
    package to the wrong address. It was already sent, but can you
    keep it there for me?" This is a very reliable way if you keep
    calm when talking to the people.
    Do NOT try post office boxes. Most of the time, UPS will not
    deliver to a post office box, and many people have been caught in
    the past attempting to use a post office box. Also, when you have
    determined a drop site, keep an eye on it for suspicious
    characters and cars that have not been there before.
    Step Five: Making the transaction
    You should now have a reliable credit card number with all the
    necessary billing information, and a good drop site.
    The best place to order from is catalogues, and mail order houses.
    It is in your best interest to place the phone call from a pay
    phone, especially if it is a 1-800 number. Now, when you call,
    don't try to disguise your voice, thinking you will trick the
    salesperson into believing you are an adult. These folks are
    trained to detect this, so your best bet is to order in your own
    voice. They will ask for the following: name, name as it appears
    on card, phone number, billing address, expiration date, method of
    shipping, and product. Ask if they offer UPS Red shipping (next
    day arrival), because it gives them less time to research an
    order. If you are using American Express, you might have a bit of
    a problem shipping to an address other than the billing address.
    Also, if the salesperson starts to ask questions, do NOT hang up.
    Simply talk your way out of the situation, so you won't encourage
    investigation on the order.
    If everything goes right, you should have the product, free of
    charge. Insurance picks up the tab, and no one is any wiser. Be
    careful, and try not to order anything over $500. In some states,
    UPS requires a signature for anything over $200, not to mention
    that anything over $200 is defined as grand theft, as well as
    credit fraud. Get caught doing this, and you will bite it for a
    couple of years. Good luck!

    Making Plastic Explosives from Bleach by The Jolly Roger
    Potassium chlorate is an extremely volatile explosive compound,
    and has been used in the past as the main explosive filler in
    grenades, land mines, and mortar rounds by such countries as
    France and Germany. Common household bleach contains a small
    amount of potassium chlorate, which can be extracted by the
    procedure that follows.
    First off, you must obtain:
    [1] A heat source (hot plate, stove, etc.)
    [2] A hydrometer, or battery hydrometer
    [3] A large Pyrex, or enameled steel container (to weigh
    chemicals)
    [4] Potassium chloride (sold as a salt substitute at health and
    nutrition stores)
    Take one gallon of bleach, place it in the container, and begin
    heating it. While this solution heats, weigh out 63 grams of
    potassium chloride and add this to the bleach being heated.
    Constantly check the solution being heated with the hydrometer,
    and boil until you get a reading of 1.3. If using a battery
    hydrometer, boil until you read a FULL charge.
    Take the solution and allow it to cool in a refrigerator until it
    is between room temperature and 0 degrees Celcius. Filter out the
    crystals that have formed and save them. Boil this solution again
    and cool as before. Filter and save the crystals.
    Take the crystals that have been saved, and mix them with
    distilled water in the following proportions: 56 grams per 100
    milliliters distilled water. Heat this solution until it boils
    and allow to cool. Filter the solution and save the crystals that
    form upon cooling. This process of purification is called
    "fractional crystalization". These crystals should be relatively
    pure potassium chlorate.
    Powder these to the consistency of face powder, and heat gently to
    drive off all moisture.
    Now, melt five parts Vaseline with five parts wax. Dissolve this
    in white gasoline (camp stove gasoline), and pour this liquid on
    90 parts potassium chlorate (the powdered crystals from above)
    into a plastic bowl. Knead this liquid into the potassium
    chlorate until intimately mixed. Allow all gasoline to evaporate.
    Finally, place this explosive into a cool, dry place. Avoid
    friction, sulfur, sulfides, and phosphorous compounds. This
    explosive is best molded to the desired shape and density of 1.3
    grams in a cube and dipped in wax until water proof. These block
    type charges guarantee the highest detonation velocity. Also, a
    blasting cap of at least a 3 grade must be used.
    The presence of the afore mentioned compounds (sulfur, sulfides,
    etc.) results in mixtures that are or can become highly sensitive
    and will possibly decompose explosively while in storage. You
    should never store homemade explosives, and you must use EXTREME
    caution at all times while performing the processes in this
    article.

    Picking Master Locks by The Jolly Roger
    Have you ever tried to impress someone by picking one of those
    Master combination locks and failed?
    The Master lock company made their older combination locks with a
    protection scheme. If you pull the handle too hard, the knob will
    not turn. That was their biggest mistake.
    The first number:
    Get out any of the Master locks so you know what is going on.
    While pulling on the clasp (part that springs open when you get
    the combination right), turn the knob to the left until it will
    not move any more, and add five to the number you reach. You now
    have the first number of the combination.
    The second number:
    Spin the dial around a couple of times, then go to the first
    number you got. Turn the dial to the right, bypassing the first
    number once. When you have bypassed the first number, start
    pulling on the clasp and turning the knob. The knob will
    eventually fall into the groove and lock. While in the groove,
    pull the clasp and turn the knob. If the knob is loose, go to the
    next groove, if the knob is stiff, you have the second number of
    the combination.
    The third number:
    After getting the second number, spin the dial, then enter the two
    numbers. Slowly spin the dial to the right, and at each number,
    pull on the clasp. The lock will eventually open if you did the
    process right.
    This method of opening Master locks only works on older models.
    Someone informed Master of their mistake, and they employed a new
    mechanism that is foolproof (for now).
    The older models are from 1988-1990. The newer models are being
    cracked on as we speak..

    The Arts of Lockpicking II courtesy of The Jolly Roger
    So you want to be a criminal. Well, if you want to be like James
    Bond and open a lock in fifteen seconds, then go to Hollywood,
    because that is the only place you are ever going to do it. Even
    experienced locksmiths can spend five to ten minutes on a lock if
    they are unlucky. If you are wanting extremely quick access, look
    elsewhere. The following instructions will pertain mostly to the
    "lock in knob" type lock, since it is the easiest to pick.
    First of all, you need a pick set. If you know a locksmith, get
    him to make you a set. This will be the best possible set for you
    to use. If you find a locksmith unwilling to supply a set, don't
    give up hope. It is possible to make your own, if you have access
    to a grinder (you can use a file, but it takes forever).
    The thing you need is an allen wrench set (very small). These
    should be small enough to fit into the keyhole slot. Now, bend
    the long end of the allen wrench at a slight angle (not 90
    degrees). Now, take your pick to a grinder or a file, and smooth
    the end until it is rounded so it won't hang inside the lock.
    Test your tool out on doorknobs at your house to see if it will
    slide in and out smoothly. Now, this is where the screwdriver
    comes in. It must be small enough for it and your pick to be used
    in the same lock at the same time, one above the other. In the
    coming instructions, please refer to this chart of the interior of
    a lock:
    ______________________________
    \ K
    | | | | | | / E
    | | | | \ Y [|] Upper tumbler pin
    ^ ^ / H [^] Lower tumbler pin
    ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ \ O [-] Cylinder wall
    / L (This is a greatly simplified
    \ E drawing)
    ______________________________/
    The object is to press the pin up so that the space between the
    upper pin and the lower pin is level with the cylinder wall. Now,
    if you push a pin up, it's tendency is to fall back down, right?
    That is where the screwdriver comes in. Insert the screwdriver
    into the slot and turn. This tension will keep the "solved" pins
    from falling back down. Now, work from the back of the lock to
    the front, and when you are through, there will be a click, the
    screwdriver will turn freely, and the door will open.
    Do not get discouraged on your first try! It will probably take
    you about twenty to thirty minutes your first time. After that,
    you will quickly improve with practice.

    Solidox Bombs by The Jolly Roger
    Most people are not aware that a volatile, extremely explosive
    chemical can be bought over the counter: Solidox.
    Solidox comes in an aluminum can containing 6 grey sticks, and can
    be bought at Kmart, and various hardware supply shops for around
    $7.00. Solidox is used in welding applications as an oxidizing
    agent for the hot flame needed to melt metal. The most active
    ingredient in Solidox is potassium chlorate, a filler used in many
    military applications in the WWII era.
    Since Solidox is literally what the name says: SOLID OXygen, you
    must have an energy source for an explosion. The most common and
    readily available energy source is common household sugar, or
    sucrose. In theory, glucose would be the purest energy source,
    but it is hard to find a solid supply of glucose.
    Making the mixture:
    [1] Open the can of Solidox, and remove all 6 sticks. One by
    one, grind up each of the sticks (preferably with a mortar
    and pestle) into the finest powder possible.
    [2] The ratio for mixing the sugar with the Solidox is 1:1, so
    weigh the Solidox powder, and grind up the equivalent amount
    of sugar.
    [3] Mix equivalent amounts of Solidox powder, and sugar in a 1:1
    ratio.
    It is just that simple! You now have an extremely powerful
    substance that can be used in a variety of applications. A word
    of caution: be EXTREMELY careful in the entire process. Avoid
    friction, heat, and flame. A few years back, a teenager I knew
    blew 4 fingers off while trying to make a pipe bomb with Solidox.
    You have been warned!
    SolidOx can no longer be bought in KMart. A plumbing and heating supply
    store, or even Sears may have small quantities for sale, at about
    $18.00 for 10 stix.

    High Tech Revenge: The Beigebox rev. 4.14 by -= Exodus =-
    -------------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 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.
    The beigebox is simply a consumer lineman's handset, which is a
    phone that can be attached to the outside of a person's house. To
    fabricate a beigebox, follow along.
    ---------Construction and Use---------
    The construction is very simple. First you must understand the concept of
    the device. In a modular jack, there are four wires. These are red, green,
    yellow, and black. For a single line telephone, however, only two matter:
    the red (ring) and green (tip). The yellow and the black are not neccessary
    for this project. A lineman's handset has two clips on it: the ring and
    the tip. Take a modular jack and look at the bottom of it's casing. There
    should be a grey jack with four wires (red, green, yellow & black)
    leading out of it. To the end of the red wire attach a red aligator clip.
    To the end of the green wire attatch a green aligator clip. The yellow
    and black wires can be removed, although I would only set them aside so
    that you can use the modular jack in future projects. Now insert your
    telephone's modular plug into the modular jack. That's it. This particular
    model is nice because it is can be easily made, is inexpensive, uses
    common parts that are readily available, is small, is lightweight,
    and does not require the destruction of a phone.
    ------------Beige Box Uses------------
    There are many uses for a Beige Box. However, before you can use it,
    you must know how to attach it to the output device. This device can be
    of any of Bell switching apparatus that include germinal sets (i.e.
    remote switching centers, bridgin heads, cans, etc.). To open most Bell
    Telephone switching apparatus, you must have a 7/16 inch hex driver
    (or a good pair of needle nose pliers work also).
    This piece of equipment can be picked up at your local hardware store.
    With your hex driver (or pliers), 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 output devices, the terminals should be labeled "T"
    (Tip -- if not labeled, it is usually on the left) and "R" (Ring -- if
    not labeled, usually on the right).
    Remember: Ring - red - right. The "Three R's" -- a simple way to
    remember which is which. Now you must attach all the red alligator clip
    (Ring) to the "R" (Ring) terminal.
    Attach the green alligator clip (Tip) to the "T" (Tip) terminal.
    Note: If instead of a dial tone you hear nothing, adjust the alligator
    clips so that they are not touching each other terminals. Also make sure
    they are firmly attached. By this time you should hear a dial tone.
    Dial ANI to find out the number you are using (you wouldn't want to use
    your own). Here are some practicle aplications:
    > Eavesdropping
    > Long distance, static free free fone calls to phriends
    > Dialing direct to Alliance Teleconferencing (also no static)
    > Phucking people over
    > Bothering the operator at little risk to yourself
    > Blue Boxing with greatly reduced chance of getting caught
    > Anything at all you want, since you are on an extension of that line.
    Eavesdropping
    -------------
    To be most effective, first attach the Beige Box then your phone. This
    eliminates the static caused by connecting the box, therefore
    reducing the potential suspicion of your victim. When eavesdropping,
    it is allways best to be neither seen nor heard. If you hear someone
    dialing out, do not panic; but rather hang up, wait, and pick up the
    receiver again. The person will either have hung up or tried to complete
    their call again. If the latter is true, then listen in, and perhaps you
    will find information worthy of blackmail! If you would like to know who
    you are listening to, after dialing ANI, pull a CN/A on the number.
    Dialing Long Distance
    ---------------------
    This section is self explanitory, but don't forget to dial a "1" before
    the NPA.
    Dialing Direct to Aliance Teleconferencing
    ------------------------------------------
    Simply dial 0-700-456-1000 and you will get instructions from there.
    I prefer this method over PBX's, since PBX's often have poor reception
    and are more dificult to come by.
    Phucking People Over
    --------------------
    This is a very large topic of discussion. Just by using the other topics
    described, you can create a large phone bill for the person (they will
    not have to pay for it, but it will be a big hassle for them). In addition,
    since you are an extension of the person's line, you can leave your
    phone off the hook, and they will not be able to make or receive calls.
    This can be extremely nasty because no one would expect the cause
    of the problem.
    Bothering the Operator
    ----------------------
    This is also self explanitary and can provide hours of entertainment.
    Simply ask her things that are offensive or you would not like traced
    to your line. This also corresponds to the previously described section,
    Phucking People Over. After all, guess who's line it gets traced to?
    He he he...
    Blue Boxing
    -----------
    See a file on Blue Boxing for more details. This is an especially nice
    feature if you live in an ESS-equiped prefix, since the calls are, once
    again, not traced to your line...
    ---POTENTIAL RISKS OF BEIGE BOXING----
    Overuse of the Beige Box may cause suspicians within the Gestapo,
    and result in legal problems. Therefor, I would recomend you:
    > Choose a secluded spot to do your Beige Boxing,
    > Use more t

    Aqua Box Plans by Jolly Roger
    Every true phreaker lives in fear of the dreadded F.B.I. 'Lock In Trace.'
    For a long time, it was impossible to escape from the Lock In Trace.
    This box does offer an escape route with simple directions to it.
    This box is quite a simple concept, and almost any phreaker with basic
    electronics knowledge can construct and use it.
    The Lock 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 conecpt of 'locking in',
    then here's a brief desciption. 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 ller could speak through the little
    microphone instead. His voice then goes through the amplifier and out
    the induction coil, and into the back of the receiver where
    it would then be broadcast through the phone lines and the other
    partywould be able to hear the caller. The Clear Box thus
    'clears up' the problem of not being heard. Luckily, the line will
    not be cut-off after a certain amount of time because it will wait
    forever for the coins to be put in.
    The biggest advantage for all of us about this new clear box is the
    fact that this type of payphone will most likely become very common.
    Due to a few things: 1st, it is a cheap way of getting the DTF,
    dial-tone-first service, 2nd, it doesn't require any special equipment,
    (for the phone company) This payphone will work on any phone line.
    Usually a payphone line is different, but this is a regular phone line
    and it is set up so the phone does all the charging, not the company.

    A Guide to Hypnotism Courtesy of the Jolly Roger
    (Originally an Apple ][ file, forgive the uppercase!)
    +-------------------+
    ! WHAT HYPNOTISM IS !
    +-------------------+
    HYPNOTISM, CONTRARY TO COMMON BELEIF, IS MERELY STATE WHEN YOUR MIND AND
    BODY ARE IN A STATE OF RELAXATION AND YOUR MIND IS OPEN TO POSITIVE, OR
    CLEVERLY WORDED NEGATIVE, INFLUENCES. IT IS NOT A TRANCE WHERE YOU:
    > ARE TOTALLY INFLUENCABLE.
    > CANNOT LIE.
    > A SLEEP WHICH YOU CANNOT WAKE UP FROM
    WITHOUT HELP.
    THIS MAY BRING DOWN YOUR HOPE SOMEWHAT, BUT, HYPNOTISM IS A POWERFUL FOR
    SELF HELP, AND/OR MISCHEIF.
    +-----------------------+
    ! YOUR SUBCONCIOUS MIND !
    +-----------------------+
    BEFORE GOING IN FURTHER, I'D LIKE TO STATE THAT HYPNOTISM NOT ONLY IS
    GREAT IN THE WAY THAT IT RELAXES YOU AND GETS YOU (IN THE LONG RUN) WHAT
    YOU WANT, BUT ALSO THAT IT TAPS A FORCE OF INCREDIBLE POWER, BELEIVE IT OR
    NOT, THIS POWER IS YOUR SUBCONCIOUS MIND.
    THE SUBCONCIOUS MIND ALWAYS KNOWS WHAT IS GOING ON WITH EVERY PART OF YOUR BODY,
    EVERY MOMENT OF THE DAY. IT PROTECTS YOU FROM NEGATIVE INFLUENCES,
    AND RETAINS THE POWER TO SLOW YOUR HEARTBEAT DOWN AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
    THE SUBCONCIOUS MIND HOLDS JUST ABOUT ALL THE INFO YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW
    ABOUT YOURSELF, OR, IN THIS CASE, THE PERSON YOU WILL BE HYPNOTISING.
    THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO TALK TO YOUR SUBCONCIOUS AND HAVE IT TALK BACK TO
    YOU. ONE WAY IS THE OUJA BOARD, NO ITS NOT A SPIRIT, MERELY THE
    MINDS OF THOSE WHO ARE USING IT. ANOTHER, WHICH I WILL DISCUSS HERE,
    IS THE PENDULUM METHOD. OK, HERE IS HOW IT GOES.
    FIRST, GET A RING OR A WASHER AND TIE IT TO A THREAD A LITTLE LONGER THAN
    HALF OF YOUR FOREARM. NOW, TAKE A SHEET OF PAPER AND DRAW A BIG CIRCLE IN
    IT. IN THE BIG CIRCLE YOU MUST NOW DRAW A CROSSHAIR (A BIG +). NOW, PUT
    THE SHEET OF PAPER ON A TABLE. NEXT, HOLD THE THREAD WITH THE RING OR
    WASHER ON IT AND PLACE IT (HOLDING THE THREAD SO THAT THE RING IS 1 INCH
    ABOVE THE PAPER SWINGING) IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CROSSHAIR. NOW, SWING
    THE THREAD SO THE WASHER GOES UP AND DOWN, SAY TO YOURSELF THE WORD "YES"
    NOW, DO IT SIDE TO SIDE AND SAY THE WORD "NO".
    DO IT COUNTER CLOCKWISE AND SAY "I DON'T KNOW".
    AND LASTLY, DO IT CLOCKWISE AND SAY "I DONT WANT TO SAY." NOW, WITH THE
    THREAD BACK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CROSSHAIR, ASK YOURSELF QUESTIONS AND
    WAIT FOR THE PENDULUM TO SWING IN THE DIRECTION FOR THE ANSWER. (YES, NO,
    I DONT KNOW OR I DONT WANNA SAY...). SOON, TO YOUR AMAZEMENT, IT WILL BE
    ANSWERING QUESTIONS LIKE ANYTHING... LET THE PENDULUM ANSWER, DONT TRY..
    WHEN YOU TRY YOU WILL NEVER GET AN ANSWER. LET THE ANSWER COME TO YOU.
    +-------------------------+
    ! HOW TO INDUCE HYPNOTISM !
    +-------------------------+
    NOW THAT YOU KNOW HOW TO TALK TO YOUR SUBCONCIOUS MIND, I WILL NOW TELL YOU
    HOW TO GUIDE SOMEONE INTO HYPNOSIS. NOTE THAT I SAID GUIDE, YOU CAN NEVER,
    HYNOTISE SOMEONE, THEY MUST BE WILLING. OK, THE SUBJECT MUST BE LYING OR
    SITTING IN A COMFORTABLE POSITION, RELAXED, AND AT A TIME WHEN THINGS ARENT
    GOING TO BE INTERRUPTED.
    TELL THEM THE FOLLOWING OR SOMETHING CLOSE TO IT, IN A PEACEFUL, MONOTINOUS
    TONE (NOT A COMMANDING TONE OF VOICE)
    NOTE: LIGHT A CANDLE AND PLACE IT SOMEWHERE WHERE IT CAN BE EASILY SEEN.
    TAKE A DEEP BREATH THROUGH YOUR NOSE AND HOLD IT IN FOR A COUNT OF 8. NOW,
    THROUGH YOUR MOUTH, EXHALE COMPLETELY AND SLOWLY. CONTINUED BREATHING LONG,
    DEEP, BREATHS THROUGH YOUR NOSE AND EXHALING THROUGH YOUR MOUTH. TENSE UP
    ALL YOUR MUSCLES VERY TIGHT, NOW, COUNTING FROM TEN TO ONE, RELEASE THEM
    SLOWLY, YOU WILL FIND THEM VERY RELAXED. NOW, LOOK AT THE CANDLE, AS
    YOU LOOK AT IT, WITH EVERY BREATH AND PASSING MOMEMENT, YOU ARE FEELING
    INCREASINGLY MORE AND MORE PEACEFUL AND RELAXED. THE CANDLES FLAME IS
    PEACEFUL AND BRIGHT.
    AS YOU LOOK AT IT I WILL COUNT FROM 100 DOWN, AS A COUNT, YOUR EYES WILL
    BECOME MORE AND MORE RELAXED, GETTING MORE AND MORE TIRED WITH EACH
    PASSING MOMENT."
    NOW, COUNT DOWN FROM 100, ABOUT EVERY 10 NUMBERS SAY "WHEN I REACH XX YOUR
    EYES (OR YOU WILL FIND YOUR EYES) ARE BECOMING MORE AND MORE TIRED." TELL
    THEM THEY MAY CLOSE THEIR EYES WHENEVER THEY FEEL LIKE IT. IF THE PERSONS
    EYES ARE STILL OPEN WHEN YOU GET TO 50 THEN INSTEAD OF SAYING
    "YOUR EYES WILL.."
    SAY "YOUR EYES ARE...".
    WHEN THEIR EYES ARE SHUT SAY THE FOLLOWING. AS YOU LIE (OR SIT) HERE WITH
    YOUR EYES COMFORTABLY CLOSE YOU FIND YOURSELF RELAXING MORE AND
    MORE WITH EACH MOMENT AND BREATH.
    THE RELAXATION FEELS PLEASANT AND BLISSFUL SO, YOU HAPPILY GIVE WAY TO
    THIS WONDERFUL FEELING. IMAGINGE YOURSELF ON A CLOUD, RESTING PEACEFULLY,
    WITH A SLIGHT BREEZE CARESSING YOUR BODY. A TINGLING SENSASION BEGINS
    TO WORK ITS WAY, WITHIN AND WITHOUT YOUR TOES, IT SLOWLY MOVES UP YOUR
    FEET, MAKING THEM WARM, HEAVY AND RELAXED. THE CLOUD IS SOFT AND SUPPORTS
    YOUR BODY WITH ITS SOFT TEXTURE, THE SCENE IS PEACEFUL AND ABSORBING,
    THE PEACEFULNESS ABSORBS YOU COMPLETELY...
    THE TINGLING GENTLY AND SLOWLY MOVES UP YOUR LEGS, RELAXING THEM.
    MAKING THEM WARM AND HEAVY. THE RELAXATION FEELS VERY GOOD, IT FEELS SO
    GOOD TO RELAX AND LET GO. AS THE TINGLING CONTINUES ITS JOURNEY UP INTO
    YOUR SOLAR PLEXUS, YOU FEEL YOUR INNER STOMACH BECOME VERY RELAXED. NOW,
    IT MOVES SLOWLY INTO YOUR CHEST, MAKING YOUR BREATHING RELAXED AS WELL.
    THE FEELING BEGINS TO MOVE UP YOUR ARMS TO YOUR SHOULDERS, MAKING YOUR ARMS
    HEAVY AND RELAXED AS WELL. YOU ARE AWARE OF THE TOTAL RELAXATION YOU ARE
    NOW EXPERIENCING, AND YOU GIVE WAY TO IT. IT IS GOOD AND PEACEFUL, THE
    TINGLING NOW MOVEVES INTO YOUR FACE AND HEAD, RELAXING YOUR JAWS, NECK, AND
    FACIAL MUSCLES, MAKING YOUR CARES AND WORRIES FLOAT AWAY. AWAY INTO THE
    BLUE SKY AS YOU REST BLISFUlLY ON THE CLOUD....
    IF THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIVE OR YOU THINK THEY (HE OR SHE..) IS GOING TO
    SLEEP, THEN ADD IN A "...ALWAYS CONCENTRATING UPON MY VOICE, INGORING ALL
    OTHER SOUNDS. EVEN THOUGH OTHER SOUNDS EXSIST, THEY AID YOU IN YOUR
    RELAXATION..." THEY SHOULD SOON LET OUT A SIGH AS IF THEY WERE LETTING GO,
    AND THEIR FACE SHOULD HAVE A "WOODENESS" TO IT, BECOMING FEATURLESS... NOW,
    SAY THE FOLLOWING ".... YOU NOW FIND YOURSELF IN A HALLWAY, THE HALLWAY IS
    PEACEFUL AND NICE. AS I COUNT FROM 10 TO 1 YOU WILL IMAGINE YOURSELF
    WALKING FURTHER AND FURTHER DOWN THE HALL. WHEN I REACH ONE YOU WILL FIND
    YOURSELF WHERE YOU WANT TO BE, IN ANOTHER, HIGHER STATE OF CONCIOUS AND
    MIND. (COUNT FROM TEN TO ONE)....." DO THIS ABOUT THREE OR FOUR TIMES.
    THEN, TO TEST IF THE SUBJECT IS UNDER HYPNOSIS OR NOT, SAY....
    "...YOU FEEL A STRANGE SENSATION IN YOUR (ARM THEY WRITE WITH) ARM, THE
    FEELING BEGINS AT YOUR FINGERS AND SLOWLY MOVES UP YOUR ARM, AS IT MOVES
    THROUGH YOUR ARM YOUR ARM BECOMES LIGHTER AND LIGHTER, IT WILL SOON BE SO
    LIGHT IT WILL ..... BECOMING LIGHTER AND LIGHTER WHICH EACH BREATH AND
    MOMENT..."
    THEIR FINGERS SHOULD BEGIN TO TWITCH AND THEN MOVE UP, THE ARM FOLLOWING,
    NOW MY FRIEND, YOU HAVE HIM/HEP IN HYPNOSIS. THE FIRST TIME YOU DO THIS,
    WHILE HE/SHE IS UNDER SAY GOOD THINGS, LIKE: "YOUR GOING TO FEEL GREAT
    TOMORROW" OR "EVERY DAY IN EVERY WAY YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF BECOMING BETTER
    AND BETTER".. OR SOME CRAP LIKE THAT... THE MORE THEY GO UNDER, THE DEEPER
    IN HYPNOSIS THEY WILL GET EACH TIME YOU DO IT.
    +----------------------------+
    ! WHAT TO DO WHEN HYPNOTISED !
    +----------------------------+
    WHEN YOU HAVE THEM UNDER YOU MUST WORD THINGS VERY CAREFULLY TO GET YOUR
    WAY. YOU CANNOT SIMPLY SAY... TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES AND FUCK THE PILLOW.
    NO, THAT WOULD NOT REALLY DO THE TRICK. YOU MUST SAY SOMETHING LIKE....
    "YOU FIND YOUR SELF AT HOME, IN YOUR ROOM AND YOU HAVE TO TAKE A SHOWER
    (VIVIDLY DESCRIBE THEIR ROOM AND WHATS HAPPENING), YOU BEGIN TO TAKE OFF
    YOUR CLOTHES..." NOW, IT CANT BE THAT SIMPLE, YOU MUST KNOW THE PERSONS
    HOUSE, ROOM, AND SHOWER ROOM. THEN DESCRIBE THINGS VIVIDLY AND TELL THEM
    TO ACT IT OUT (THEY HAVE TO BE DEEPLY UNDER TO DO THIS...). I WOULD JUST
    SUGGEST THAT YOU EXPERIMENT A WHILE, AND GET TO KNOW HO; TO DO THINGS.
    +-----------+
    ! WAKING UP !
    +-----------+
    WAKING UP IS VERY EASY, JUST SAY.. "...AS I COUNT FROM 1 TO 5 YOU WILL
    FIND YOURSELF BECOMMING MORE AND MORE AWAKE, MORE AND MORE LIVELY. WHEN
    YOU WAKE UP YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF COMPLETELY ALIVE, AWAKE, AND REFRESHED.
    MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY, REMEMBERING THE PLEASANT SENSATION THAT HYPNOSIS
    BRINGS... WAKING UP FEELING LIKE A NEW BORN BABY, REBORN WITH LIFE AND
    VIGOR, FEELING EXCELLENT. REMEMBERING THAT NEXT TIME YOU ENTER HYPNOSIS IT
    WILL BECOME AN EVER INCREASING DEEPER AND DEEPER STATE THAN BEFORE.
    1- YOU FEEL ENERGY COURSE THROUGHOUT YOUR LIMBS.
    2- YOU BEGIN TO BREATHE DEEPLY, STIRRING.
    3- BEGINING TO MOVE MORE AND MORE YOUR EYES OPEN, BRINGING YOU UP TO
    FULL CONCIOUS.
    4- YOU ARE UP,UP, UP AND AWAKENING MORE AND MORE.
    5- YOU ARE AWAKE AND FEELING GREAT."
    AND THATS IT! YOU NOW KNOW HOW TO HYPNOTISE YOURSELF AND SOMEONE ELSE.
    YOU WILL LEARN MORE AND MORE AS YOU EXPERIMENT.

    Introduction
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Welcome to the first issue of 'The Remote Informer'! This newsletter
    is reader supported. If the readers of this newsletter do not help
    support it, then it will end. We are putting this out to help out the
    ones that would like to read it. If you are one of those who thinks they
    know everything, then don't bother reading it. This newsletter is not
    anything like the future issues. The future issues will contain several
    sections, as long as reader input is obtained. Below is an outline
    overview of the sections in the future issues.
    I/O Board (Input/Output Board)
    The I/O Board is for questions you have, that we might be able to
    answer or atleast refer you to someone or something. We will be honest if
    we cannot help you. We will not make up something, or to the effect, just
    to make it look like we answered you. There will be a section in the I/O
    Board for questions we cannot answer, and then the readers will have the
    opportunity to answer it. We will print anything that is reasonable in
    the newsletter, even complaints if you feel like you are better than
    everyone.
    NewsCenter
    This section will be for news around the underworld. It will talk of
    busts of people in the underworld and anything else that would be
    considered news. If you find articles in the paper, or something happens
    in your local area, type it up, and upload it to one of the boards listed
    at the end of the newsletter. Your handle will be placed in the article.
    If you do enter a news article, please state the date and from where you
    got it.
    Feature Section
    The Feature Section will be the largest of the sections as it will be
    on the topic that is featured in that issue. This will be largely reader
    input which will be sent in between issues. At the end of the issue at
    hand, it will tell the topic of the next issue, therefore, if you have
    something to contribute, then you will have ample time to prepare your
    article.
    Hardware/Software Review
    In this section, we will review the good and bad points of hardware
    and software related to the underworld. It will be an extensive review,
    rather than just a small paragraph.
    The Tops
    This section will be the area where the top underworld BBS's, hacking
    programs, modem scanners, etc. will be shown. This will be reader
    selected and will not be altered in anyway. The topics are listed below.
    Underworld BBS's (Hack, Phreak, Card, Anarchy, etc.)
    Hacking programs for Hayes compatables
    Hacking programs for 1030/Xm301 modems
    Modem scanners for Hayes compatables
    Modem scanners for 1030/Xm301 modems
    Other type illegal programs
    You may add topics to the list if enough will support it.
    Tid Bits
    This will contain tips and helpful information sent in by the users.
    If you have any information you wish to contribute, then put it in a text
    file and upload it to one of the BBS's listed at the end of the
    newsletter.
    Please, no long distance codes, mainframe passwords, etc.
    We may add other sections as time goes by. This newsletter will not
    be put out on a regular basis. It will be put out when we have enough
    articles and information to put in it. There may be up to 5 a month, but
    there will always be at least one a month. We would like you, the readers,
    to send us anything you feel would be of interest to others, like hacking
    hints, methods of hacking long distance companies, companies to card from,
    etc. We will maintain the newsletter as long as the readers support it.
    That is the end of the introduction, but take a look at this newsletter,
    as it does contain information that may be of value to you.

    Hacking Sprint: The Easy Way
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    By: Tracker
    If you hack US Sprint, 950-0777 (by the way it is no longer GTE
    Sprint), and you are fustrated at hacking several hours only to find one
    or two codes, then follow these tips, and it will increase your results
    tremendously. First, one thing that Mr. Mojo proved is that Sprint will
    not store more than one code in every hundred numbers. (ex: 98765400 to
    98765499 may contain only one code). There may NOT be a code in that
    hundred, but there will never be more than one.
    Sprint's 9 digit codes are stored from 500000000 through 999999999.
    In the beginning of Sprint's 950 port, they only had 8 digit codes. Then
    they started converting to 9 digit codes, storing all 8 digit codes
    between 10000000 and 49999999 and all 9 digit codes between 500000000 and
    999999999. Sprint has since cancelled most 8 digit codes, although there
    are a few left that have been denoted as test codes. Occaisionally, I
    hear of phreaks saying they have 8 digit codes, but when verifying them,
    the codes were invalid.
    Now, where do you start? You have already narrowed the low and high
    numbers in half, therefore already increasing your chances of good results
    by 50 percent. The next step is to find a good prefix to hack. By the
    way, a prefix, in hacking terms, is the first digits in a code that can be
    any length except the same number of digits the code is. (ex: 123456789
    is a code. That means 1, 12, 123, 1234, 12345, 123456, 1234567, and
    12345678 are prefixes) The way you find a good prefix to hack is to
    manually enter a code prefix. If when you enter the code prefix and a
    valid destination number and you do not hear the ringing of the recording
    telling you that the code is invalid until near the end of the number,
    then you know the prefix is valid. Here is a chart to follow when doing
    this:
    Code - Destination Range good codes exist
    -------------------------------------------------
    123456789 - 6192R 123400000 - 123499999
    123456789 - 619267R 123450000 - 123459999
    123456789 - 61926702R 123456000 - 123456999
    123456789 - 6192670293R 123456700 - 123456799
    -------------------------------------------------
    ( R - Denotes when ring for recording starts)
    To prove
    this true, I ran a test using OmniHack 1.3p, written by
    Jolly Joe. In this test I found a prefix where the last 3 digits were all
    I had to hack. I tested each hundred of the 6 digit prefix finding that
    all but 4 had the ring start after the fourth digit was dialed in the
    destination number. The other four did not ring until I had finished the
    entire code. I set OmniHack to hack the prefix + 00 until prefix + 99.
    (ex: xxxxxxy00 to xxxxxxy99: where y is one of the four numbers that the
    ring did not start until the dialing was completed.) Using this method, I
    found four codes in a total of 241 attempts using ascending hacking (AKA:
    Sequential). Below you will see a record of my hack:
    Range of hack Codes found Tries
    ----------------------------------------------
    xxxxxx300 - xxxxxx399 xxxxxx350 50
    xxxxxx500 - xxxxxx599 xxxxxx568 68
    xxxxxx600 - xxxxxx699 xxxxxx646 46
    xxxxxx800 - xxxxxx899 xxxxxx877 77
    ----------------------------------------------
    Totals 4 codes 241
    As you see, these methods work. Follow these guidlines and tips and
    you should have an increase in production of codes in the future hacking
    Sprint. Also, if you have any hints/tips you think others could benefit
    from, then type them up and upload them to one of the boards at the end of
    the newsletter.

    Rumors: Why Spread Them?
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    By: Tracker
    Do you ever get tired of hearing rumors? You know, someone gets an
    urge to impress others, so they create a rumor that some long distance
    company is now using tracing equipment. Why start rumors? It only scares
    others out of phreaking, and then makes you, the person who started the
    rumor, look like Mr. Big. This article is short, but it should make you
    aware of the rumors that people spread for personal gain. The best thing
    to do is to denote them as a rumor starter and then leave it at that. You
    should not rag on them constantly, since if the other users cannot
    determine if it is fact or rumor, then they should suffer the
    consequences.
    ==========================================================================
    The New Sprint FON Calling Cards
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    By: Tracker
    US Sprint has opened up a new long distance network called the Fiber
    Optic Network (FON), in which subscribers are given calling cards. These
    calling cards are 14 digits, and though, seem randomly generated, they are
    actually encrypted. The rumors floating around about people getting
    caught using the Sprint FON calling cards are fact, not rumors. The
    reason people are getting caught is that they confuse the FON calling
    cards with the local 950 port authorization codes. If you will remember,
    you never use AT&T calling cards from you home phone. It has ANI
    capability, which is not tracing, but rather the originating phone number
    is placed on the bill as soon as the call is completed. They know your
    phone number when you call the 800 access port, but they do not record it
    until your call is completed. Also, through several of my hacks, I came
    up with some interesting information surrounding the new Sprint network.
    They are listed below.
    800-877-0000
    This number is for information on US Sprint's 800 calling card
    service. I have not played around with it, but I believe it is for
    trouble or help with the FON calling cards. I am not sure if it is for
    subscribing to the FON network.
    800-877-0002 - You hear a short tone, then nothing.
    800-877-0003 - US Sprint Alpha Test Channel #1
    800-877-(0004-0999)
    When you call these numbers, you get a recording saying: "Welcome to
    US Sprint's 1 plus service." When the recording stops, if you hit the
    pound key (#) you will get the calling card dial tone.
    Other related Sprint numbers
    800-521-4949 This is the number that you subscribe to US Sprint with.
    You may also subscribe to the FON network on this number. It will take 4
    to 5 weeks for your calling card to arrive.
    10777
    This is US Sprint's equal access number. When you dial this number,
    you then dial the number you are calling, and it will be billed through US
    Sprint, and you will receive their long distance line for that call. Note
    that you will be billed for calls made through equal access. Do not
    mistake it to be a method of phreaking, unless used from a remote
    location.
    If you are in US Sprint's 1+ service then call 1+700-555-1414, which
    will tell you which long distance company you are using. When you hear:
    "Thank you for choosing US Sprint's 1 plus service," hit the pound key
    (#), and then you will get the US Sprint dial tone. This however is just
    the same as if you are calling from your home phone if you dial direct, so
    you would be billed for calls made through that, but there are ways to use
    this to your advantage as in using equal access through a PBX.
    ==========================================================================
    Automatic Number Identification (ANI)
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    By: Tracker
    The true definition for Automatic Number Identification has not been
    widely known to many. Automatic Number Identification, (AKA: ANI), is the
    process of the destination number knowing the originating number, which is
    where you are calling from. The method of achieving this is to send the
    phone number that you are calling from in coded form ahead of the
    destination number. Below is an example of this.
    ANI Method
    Dial: 267-0293
    Sent: ********2670293
    * - Denotes the originating number which is coded and sent before the
    number
    As you noticed there are 8 digits in the coded number. This is
    because, at least I believe, it is stored in a binary-like form.
    Automatic Number Identification means a limited future in phreaking. ANI
    does not threaten phreaking very much yet, but it will in the near future.
    A new switching system will soon be installed in most cities that are
    covered by ESS, Electronic Switching System, now.
    The system will have ANI capabilities which will be supplied to the
    owners of phone lines as anâ€șadded extra. The owner's phone will have
    an LED read-out that will show the phone number of the people that
    call you. You will be able to block some numbers, so that people
    cannot call you. This system is in the testing stages currently, but will
    soon be installed across most of the country. As you see, this will
    end a large part of phreaking, until we, the phreakers, can come up with
    an alternative. As I have been told by several, usually reliable,
    people, this system is called ISS, which I am not sure of the meaning of
    this, and is being tested currently in Rhode Island.
    800 in-watts lines set up by AT&T support ANI. The equipment to
    decode an ANI coded origination number does not costs as much as you would
    expect. 950 ports do not offer ANI capability, no matter what you have
    been told. The 950 ports will only give the city in which they are based,
    this usually being the largest in the state, sometimes the capitol.
    One last thing that I should tell you is that ANI is not related to
    tracing. Tracing can be done on any number whether local, 950, etc. One
    way around this, especially when dialing Alliance TeleConferencing, is to
    dial through several extenders or ports. ANI will only cover the number
    that is calling it, and if you call through a number that does not support
    ANI, then your number will never be known.

    Jackpotting ATM Machines courtesy of the Jolly Roger
    JACKPOTTING was done rather successfully a while back in (you guessed it)
    New York. What the culprits did was:
    Sever (actually cross over) the line between the ATM and the
    host. insert a microcomputer between the ATM and the host. insert
    a fradulent card into the ATM. (card=cash card, not hardware)
    What the ATM did was: send a signal to the host, saying "Hey! Can I
    give this guy money, or is he broke, or is his card invalid?"
    What the microcomputer did was: intercept the signal from the host,
    discard it, send "there's no one using the ATM" signal.
    What the host did was: get the "no one using" signal, send back "okay,
    then for God's sake don't spit out any money!" signal to ATM.
    What the microcomputer did was:
    intercept signal (again), throw it away (again), send "Wow! That
    guy is like TOO rich! Give him as much money as he wants. In
    fact, he's so loaded, give him ALL the cash we have! He is
    really a valued customer." signal.
    What the ATM did:
    what else? Obediently dispense cash till the cows came home (or
    very nearly so).
    What the crooks got:
    well in excess of $120,000 (for one weekend's work), and several
    years when they were caught.
    This story was used at a CRYPTOGRAPHY conference I attended a while
    ago to demonstrate the need for better information security. The
    lines between ATM's & their hosts are usually 'weak' in the sense that
    the information transmitted on them is generally not encrypted in any
    way. One of the ways that JACKPOTTING can be defeated is to encrypt
    the information passing between the ATM and the host. As long as the
    key cannot be determined from the ciphertext, the transmission (and
    hence the transaction) is secure.
    A more believable, technically accurate story might concern a person
    who uses a computer between the ATM and the host to determine the key
    before actually fooling the host. As everyone knows, people find
    cryptanalysis a very exciting and engrossing subject...don't they?
    (Hee-Hee)
    _____ ______
    | |-<<-| |-<<-| |
    |ATM| micro |Host|
    |___|->>-| |->>-|____|
    The B of A ATM's are connected through dedicated lines to a host
    computer as the Bishop said. However, for maintenance purposes, there
    is at least one separate dial-up line also going to that same host
    computer. This guy basically bs'ed his way over the phone till he
    found someone stupid enough to give him th number. After finding that,
    he had has Apple hack at the code. Simple.
    Step 2: He had a friend go to an ATM with any B of A ATM card. He
    stayed at home with the Apple connected to the host. When his friend
    inserted the card, the host displayed it. The guy with the Apple
    modified the status & number of the card directly in the host's
    memory. He turned the card into a security card, used for testing
    purposes. At that point, the ATM did whatever it's operator told it to
    do.
    The next day, he went into the bank with the $2000 he received,
    talked to the manager and told him every detail of what he'd done. The
    manager gave him his business card and told him that he had a job
    waiting for him when he got out of school.
    Now, B of A has been warned, they might have changed the system. On
    the other hand, it'd be awful expensive to do that over the whole
    country when only a handful of people have the resources and even less
    have the intelligence to duplicate the feat. Who knows?
    Jug Bomb by the Jolly Roger
    Take a glass jug, and put 3 to 4 drops of gasoline into it. Then put
    the cap on, and swish the gas around so the inner surface of the jug
    is coated. Then add a few drops of potassium permanganate solution
    into it and cap it. To blow it up, either throw it at something, or
    roll it at something.

    Fun at K-Mart by the Jolly Roger
    Well, first off, one must realise the importance of K-Marts in
    society today. First off, K-Marts provide things cheaper to those who
    can't afford to shop at higher quality stores. Although, all I ever
    see in there is minorities and Senior Citizens, and the poor people in
    our city. Personally, I wouldn't be caught dead in there. But, once,
    I did.
    You see, once, after The Moon Roach and Havoc Chaos(Dear friends of
    mine) and I were exploring such fun things as rooftops, we came along
    a K-Mart. Amused, and cold for that matter, we wandered in. The
    Tension mounts.
    As we walked up to the entrance, we were nearly attacked by Youth
    Groups selling cheap cookies, and wheelchair sticken people selling
    American Flags. After laughing at these people, we entered. This is
    where the real fun begins...
    First, we wandered around the store, and turned on all the blue
    lights we could find. That really distracts and confuses the
    attendents...Fun to do...
    The first neat thing, is to go to the section of the store where
    they sell computers. Darkness engulf the earth the day they find Apple
    Computers being sold there. Instead, lesser computers like the
    laughable C-64 can be found there...Turn it on, and make sure
    nobody's looking...Then, once in Basic, type...
    ]10 PRINT "Fuck the world! Anarchy Rules!" (or something to that
    effect.)
    ]20 GOTO 10 and walk away.
    Also, set the sample radios in the store to a santanic rock station,
    and turn the radio off. Then, set the alarm for two minutes ahead of
    the time displayed there. Turn the volume up all the way, and walk
    away. After about two minutes, you will see the clerk feebly attempt
    to turn the radio down or off. It's really neat to set ten or more
    radios to different stations, and walk away.
    One of my favorite things to do, is to get onto the intercom system
    of the store. Easier typed then done. First, check out the garden
    department. You say there's no attendent there? Good. Sneak
    carefully over to the phone behind the cheap counter there, and pick
    it up. Dial the number corrisponding to the item that says 'PAGE'...
    And talk. You will note that your voice will echo all over the bowels
    of K-Mart.
    I would suggest announcing something on the lines of: "Anarchy
    rules!!"

    Mace Substitute by the Jolly Roger
    3 PARTS: Alcohol
    1/2 PARTS: Iodine

    How to grow Marijuana courtesy of the Jolly Roger
    MARIJUANA
    Marijuana is a deciduous plant which grows from seeds. The fibrous section
    of the plant was (has been replaced by synthetics) used to make rope.
    The flowering tops, leaves, seeds, and resin of the plant is
    used by just about everyone to get HIGH.
    Normally, the vegetable parts of the plant are smoked to produce this
    "high," but thay can also be eaten. The axtive ingredient in marijuana
    resin is THC (tetahydrocannabinol). Marijuana contains from 1 - 4 per
    cent THC (4 per cent must be considered GOOD dope).
    Marijuana grows wild in many parts of the world, and is cultivated in
    Mexice, Vietnam, Africa, Nepal, India, South America, etc.,etc. The
    marijuana sold in the United States comes primarily from, yes, the
    Uniited States.
    It is estimated that at least 50 per cent of the grass on the streets
    in America is homegrown. The next largest bunch comes actoss the
    borders from Mexico, with smaller amounts filtering in from Panama,
    occasionally South America, and occasinally, Africa.
    Hashish is the pure resin of the marijuana plant, which is scraped from
    the flowering tops of the plant and lumped together. Ganja is the
    ground-up tops of the finest plants. (It is also the name given to any
    sort of marijuana in Jamaica.)
    Marijuana will deteriorate in about two years if exposed to light,
    air or heat. It should always be stored in cool places.
    Grass prices in the United States are a direct reflection of the laws
    of supply and demand (and you thought that high school economics
    would never be useful). A series of large border busts, a short growing
    season, a bad crop, any number of things can drive the price of marijuana
    up. Demand still seems to be on the increase in the U.S., so prices seldom
    fall below last year's level.
    Each year a small seasonal drought occurs, as last year's supply runs
    low, and next year's crop is not up yet. Prices usually rase about
    20 - 75 per cent during this time and then fall back to "normal."
    Unquestionably, a large shortage of grass causes a percentage of smokers
    to turn to harder drugs instead. For this reason, no grass control
    program can ever be beneficial or "successful."
    GROW IT!
    There is one surefire way of avoiding high prices and the grass DT's:
    Grow your own. This is not as difficult as some "authorities" on the
    subject would make you believe. Marijuana is a weed, and a fairly
    vivacious one at that, and it will grow almost in spite of you.
    OUTDOORS
    Contrary to propular belief, grass grows well in many place on the
    North American continent. It will flourish even if the temperature does
    not raise above 75 degrees.
    The plants do need a minimum of eight hours of sunlight per day and
    should be planted in late April/early May, BUT DEFINITELY, after the
    last frost of the year.
    Growing an outdoor, or "au naturel", crop has been the favored method
    over the years, because grass seems to grow better without as much
    attention when in its natural habitat.
    Of course, an outdoors setting requires special precautions not encountered
    with an indoors crop; you must be able to avoid detection, both from
    law enforcement freaks and common freaks, both of whom will take your
    weed and probably use it. Of course, one will also arrest you. You must
    also have access to the area to prepare the soil and harvest the crop.
    There are two schools of thought about starting the seeds. One says you
    should start the seedlings for about ten days in an indoor starter box
    (see the indoor section) and then transplant. The other theory is that
    you should just start them in the correct location. Fewer plants will
    come up with this method, but there is no shock of transplant to
    kill some of the seedlings halfway through.
    The soil should be preprepared for the little devils by turning it
    over a couple of times and adding about one cup of hydrated lime per
    square yard of soil and a little bit (not too much, now) of good water
    soluble nitrogen fertilizer. The soil should now be watered several
    times and left to sit about one week.
    The plants should be planted at least three feet apart, getting too
    greedy and stacking them too close will result in stunted plants.
    The plants like some water during their growing season, BUT not too
    much. This is especially true around the roots, as too much water will
    rot the root system.
    Grass grows well in corn or hops, and these plants will help provide
    some camouflage. It does not grow well with rye, spinach, or pepperweed.
    It is probally a good idea to plant in many small, broken patches, as
    people tend to notice patterns.
    GENERAL GROWING INFO
    Both the male and he female plant produce THC resin, although the male
    is not as strong as the female. In a good crop, the male will still be
    plenty smokable and should not be thrown away under any circumstances.
    Marijuana can reach a hight of twenty feet (or would you rather wish on
    a star) and obtain a diameter of 4 1/2 inches. If normal, it has a sex
    ratio of about 1:1, but this can be altered in several ways.
    The male plant dies in the 12th week of growing, the female will live
    another 3 - 5 weeks to produce her younguns. Females can weigh twice as
    much as males when they are mature.
    Marijuana soil should compact when you squeeze it, but should also break
    apart with a small pressure and absorb water well. A nice test
    for either indoor or outdoor growing is to add a bunch of worms to the
    soil, if they live and hang aroung, it is good soil, but if they don't,
    well, change it. Worms also help keep the soil loose enough for the
    plants to grow well.
    SEEDS
    To get good grass, you should start with the right seeds. A nice starting
    point is to save the seeds form the best batch you have consumed. The
    seeds should be virile, that is, they should not be grey and shiriveled
    up, but green, meaty, and healthy appearing. A nice test is to drop the
    seeds on a hot frying pan. If they "CRACK," they are probably good for
    planting purposes.
    The seeds should be soaked in distilled water overnight before planting.
    BE SURE to plant in the ground with the pointy end UP. Plant about 1/2"
    deep. Healthy seeds will sprout in about five days.
    SPROUTING
    The best all around sprouting method is probably to make a sprouting box
    (as sold in nurseries) with a slated bottom or use paper cups with holes
    punched in the bottoms. The sprouting soil should be a mixture of humus,
    soil, and five sand with a bit of organic fertilizer and water mixed
    in about one week before planting.
    When ready to transplant, you must be sure and leave a ball of soil
    around the roots of each plant. This whole ball is dropped into a
    baseball-sized hold in the permanent soil.
    If you are growing/transplanting indoors, you should use a green
    safe light (purchased at nurseries) during the transplanting operation.
    If you are transplanting outdoors, you should time it about two
    hours befor sunset to avoid damage to the plant. Always wear cotton
    gloves when handling the young plants.
    After the plants are set in the hole, you should water them. It is also
    a good idea to use a commercial transplant chemical (also purchased at
    nurseries) to help then overcome the shock.
    INDOOR GROWING
    Indoor growing has many advantages, besides the apparent fact that it
    is much harder to have your crop "found," you can control the ambient
    conditions just exactly as you want them and get a guaranteed "good"
    plant.
    Plants grown indoors will not appear the same as their outdoor cousins.
    They will be scrawnier appearing with a weak stems and may even require
    you to tie them to a growing post to remain upright, BUT THEY WILL HAVE
    AS MUCH OR MORE RESIN!
    If growing in a room, you should put tar paper on the floors and then
    buy sterilized bags of soil form a nursery. You will need about one
    cubic foot of soil for eavh plant.
    The plants will need about 150 ml. of water per plant/per week. They
    will also need fresh air, so the room must be ventilated. (however,
    the fresh air should contain NO TOBACCO smoke.)
    At least eight hours of light a day must be provided. As you increase
    the light, the plants grow faster and show more females/less males.
    Sixteen hours of light per day seems to be the best combination, beyond
    this makes little or no appreciable difference in the plant quality.
    Another idea is to interrupt the night cycle with about one hour of
    light. This gives you more females.
    The walls of your growing room should be painted white or covered with
    aluminum foil to reflect the light.
    The lights themselves can be either bulbs of fluorescent. Figure about
    75 watts per plant or one plant per two feet of flouresent tube.
    The fluorescents are the best, but do not use "cool white" types. The
    light sources should be an average of twenty inches from the
    plant and NEVER closer than 14 inches. They may be mounted on a rack
    and moved every few days as the plants grow.
    The very best light sources are those made by Sylvania and others
    especially for growing plants (such as the "gro lux" types).
    HARVESTING AND DRYING
    The male plants will be taller and have about five green or yellow sepals,
    which will split open to fertilize the female plant with pollen.
    The female plant is shorter and has a small pistillate flower, which
    really doesn't look like a flower at all but rather a small bunch of
    leaves in a cluster.
    If you don't want any seeds, just good dope, you should pick the males
    before they shed their pollen as the female will use some of her resin
    to make the seeds.
    After another three to five weeks, after the males are gone, the females
    will begin to wither and die (from loneliness?), this is the time to pick.
    In some nefarious Middle Eastren countries, farmers reportedly put their
    beehives next to fiels of marijuana. The little devils collect the grass
    pollen for their honey, which is supposed to contain a fair dosage
    of THC.
    The honey is then enjoyed by conventional methods or made into ambrosia.
    If you want seeds - let the males shed his pollen then pick him. Let
    the female go another month and pick her.
    To cure the plants, they must be dried. On large crops, this is
    accomplished by constructing a drying box or drying room.
    You must have a heat source (such as an electric heater) which will make
    the box/room each 130 degrees. The box/room must be ventilated
    to carry off the water-vapor-laden air and replace it with fresh.
    A good box can be constructed from an orange crate with fiberglass
    insulated walls, vents in the tops, and screen shelves to hold the leaves.
    There must be a baffle between the leaves and the heat source.
    A quick cure for smaller amounts is to: cut the plant at the soil level
    and wrap it in a cloth so as not to loose any leavs. Take out any seeds
    by hand and store. Place all the leaves on a cookie sheet or aluminum
    foil and put them in the middle sheld of the oven, which is set on "broil."
    In a few seconds, the leaves will smoke and curl up, stir them around and
    give another ten seconds before you take them out.
    TO INCREASE THE GOOD STUFF
    There are several tricks to increase the number of females, or the THC
    content of plants:
    You can make the plants mature in 36 days if you are in a hurry, by cutting
    back on the light to about 14 hours, but the plants will not be as big.
    You should gradually shorten the light cycle until you reach fourteen
    hours.
    You can stop any watering as the plants begin to bake the resin rise to
    the flowers. This will increse the resin a bit.
    You can use a sunlamp on the plants as they begin to develop flower stalks.
    You can snip off the flower, right at the spot where it joins the plant,
    and a new flower will form in a couple of weeks.
    This can be repeated two or three times to get several times more flowers
    than usual.
    If the plants are sprayed with Ethrel early in their growing stage, they
    will produce almost all female plants. This usually speeds up the flowering
    also, it may happen in as little as two weeks.
    You can employ a growth changer called colchicine. This is a bit hard to
    get and expensive. (Should be ordered through a lab of some sort and
    costs about $35 a gram.)
    To use the colchicine, you should prepare your presoaking solution of
    distilled water with about 0.10 per cent colchicine. This will cause
    many of the seeds to die and not germinate, but the ones that do come
    up will be polyploid plants. This is the accepted difference between
    such strains as "gold" and normal grass, and yours will DEFINITELY
    be superweed.
    The problem here is that colchicine is a posion in larger quanities and
    may be poisonous in the first generation of plants. Bill Frake, author
    of CONNOISSEUR'S HANDBOOK OF MARIJUANA runs a very complete colchicine
    treatment down and warns against smoking the first generation plants
    (all succeeding generations will also be polyploid) bacause of this
    poisonous quality.
    However, the Medical Index shows colchicine being given in very small
    quantities to people for treatment if various ailments. Although these
    quantities are small, they would appear to be larger than any you could
    recive form smoaking a seed-treated plant.
    It would be a good idea to buy a copy of CONNOISSEUR'S, if you are planning
    to attempt this, and read Mr. Drake's complete instructions.
    Another still-experimental process to increase the resin it to pinch off
    the leaf tips as soon as they appear from the time the plant is in the
    seedling stage on through its entire life-span. This produces a distorted,
    wrecked-looking plant which would be very difficuly to recognize as
    marijuana. Of course, there is less substance to this plant, but such
    wrecked creatures have been known to produve so much resin that it
    crystallizes a strong hash all over the surface of the plant - might
    be wise to try it on a plant or two and see what happens.
    PLANT PROBLEM CHART
    Always check the overall enviromental conditions prior to passing
    judgment - soil aroung 7 pH or slightly less - plenty of water, light,
    fresh air, loose soil, no water standing in pools.

    EXTRA SECTION:
    BAD WEED/GOOD WEED
    Can you turn bad weed into good weed? Surprisingly enough, the answer
    to this oft-asked inquiry is, yes!
    Like most other things in life, the amount of good you are going
    to do relates directly to how much effort you are going to put into it.
    There are no instant, supermarket products which you can spray on Kansas
    catnip and have wonderweed, but there are a number of simplified,
    inexpensive processes (Gee, Mr. Wizard!) thich will enhance mediocre
    grass somewhat, ant there are a couple of fairly involved processes
    which will do up even almost-parsley weed into something worth writing
    home about.
    EASES
    1. Place the dope in a container which allows air to enter in a restricted
    fashion (such as a can with nail holes punched in its lid) and add a
    bunch of dry ice, and the place the whold shebang in the freezer for a
    few days. This process will add a certain amount of potency to the product,
    however, this only works with dry ice, if you use normal, everyday
    freezer ice, you will end up with a soggy mess...
    2. Take a quantity of grass and dampen it, place in a baggie or another
    socially acceptable container, and store it in a dark, dampish place
    for a couple of weeks (burying it also seems to work). The grass will
    develop a mold which tastes a bit harsh, a and burns a tiny bit funny,
    but does increase the potency.
    3. Expose the grass to the high intensity light of a sunlamp for a full
    day or so. Personally, I don't feel that this is worth the effort, but
    if you just spent $400 of your friend's money for this brick of
    super-Colombian, right-from-the-President's-personal-stash,
    and it turns out to be Missouri weed, and you're packing your bags to
    leave town before the people arrive for their shares, well, you might
    at least try it. Can't hurt.
    4. Take the undisirable portions of our stash (stems, seeds, weak weed,
    worms, etc.) and place them in a covered pot, with enough rubbing
    alchol to cover everything.
    Now CAREFULLY boil the mixture on an ELECTRIC stove or lab burner. DO
    NOT USE GAS - the alchol is too flammable. After 45 minutes of heat,
    remove the pot and strain the solids out, SAVING THE ALCOHOL.
    Now, repeat the process with the same residuals, but fresh alchol.
    When the second boil is over, remove the solids again, combine the two
    quantities of alcohol and reboil until you have a syrupy mixture.
    Now, this syrupy mixture will contain much of the THC formerly hidden
    in the stems and such. One simply takes this syrup the throughly
    combines it with the grass that one wishes to improve upon.
    SPECIAL SECTION ON RELATED SUBJECT MARYGIN:
    Marygin is an anagram of the words marijuana and gin, as in Eli Whitney.
    It is a plastic tumbler which acts much like a commercial cottin gin.
    One takes about one ounce of an harb and breaks it up. This is then placed
    in the Marygin and the protuding knod is roatated. This action turns
    the internal wheel, which separates the grass from the debris (seeds,
    stems).
    It does not pulberize the grass as screens have a habit of doing and is
    easily washable.
    Marygin is available from:

    Match Head Bomb by the Jolly Roger
    Simple safety match heads in a pipe, capped at both ends, make a
    devestating bomb. It is set off with a regular fuse.
    A plastic Baggie is put into the pipe before the heads go in to
    prevent detonation by contact with the metal.
    Cutting enough match heads to fill the pipe can be tedious work for

    How To Terrorize McDonalds by the Jolly Roger
    (Originally an Apple ][ file so excuse the upper case!!!)
    NOW, ALTHOUGH Mc DONALDS IS FAMOUS FOR IT'S ADVERTISING AND MAKING THE
    WHOLE WORLD THINK THAT THE BIG MAC IS THE BEST THING TO COME ALONG SINCE
    SLICED BREAD (BUNS?), EACH LITTLE RESTAURANT IS AS AMATEUR AND SIMPLE AS
    A NEW-FOUND BUSNESS. NOT ONLY ARE ALL THE EMPLOYEES RATHER INEXPERIENCED
    AT WHAT THEY'RE =SUPPOSED= TO DO, BUT THEY WILL JUST LOOSE ALL CONTROL WHEN
    AN EMERGENCY OCCURS....HERE WE GO!!! FIRST, GET A FEW FRIENDS (4 IS
    GOOD...I'LL GET TO THIS LATER) AND ENTER THE MCDONALDS RESTAURANT, TALKING
    LOUDLY AND REAKING OF SOME STRANGE SMELL THAT AUTOMATICALLY MAKES THE OLD
    COUPLE SITTING BY THE DOOR LEAVE. IF ONE OF THOSE PIMPLY-FACED GOONS IS
    WIPING THE FLOOR, THEN TRACK SOME CRAP ALL OVER IT (YOU COULD PRETEND TO
    SLIP AND BREAK YOUR HEAD, BUT YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY DO SO).
    NEXT, BEFORE YOU GET THE FOOD, FIND A TABLE. START YELLING AND RELEASING
    SOME STRANGE BODY ODOR SO =ANYBODY= WOULD LEAVE THEIR TABLE AND WALK OUT
    THE DOOR. SIT 2 FRIENDS THERE, AND GO UP TO THE COUNTER WITH ANOTHER.
    FIND A PLACE WHERE THE LINE IS SHORT, OR IF THE LINE IS LONG SAY "I ONLY
    WANNA BUY A COKE" AND YOU GET MOVED UP. NOW, YOU GET TO DO THE =ORDERING=
    ...HEH HEH HEH. SOMEBODY =ALWAYS= MUST WANT A PLAIN
    HAMBURGER WITH ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ON IT (THIS TAKES EXTRA TIME TO MAKE, AND
    DRIVES THE LITTLE HAMBURGER-MAKERS INSANE)..ORDER A 9-PACK OF CHICKEN
    MCNUGGETS...NO, A 20 PACK...NO, THREE 6 PACKS...WAIT...GO BACK TO THE TABLE
    AND ASK WHO WANTS WHAT. YOUR OTHER FRIEND WAITS BY THE COUNTER AND MAKES A
    PASS AT THE FEMALE CLERK. GET BACK TO THE THING AND ORDER THREE 6-PACKS OF
    CHICKEN ETC....NOW SHE SAYS "WHAT KIND OF SAUCE WOULD YOU LIKE?".OF COURSE,
    SAY THAT YOU ALL WANT BARBECUE SAUCE ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS WANTS 2 (ONLY IF
    THERE ARE ONLY 2 CONTAINERS OF BARBECUE SAUCE LEFT).THEN THEY HAFTA GO INTO
    THE STOREROOM AND OPEN UP ANOTHER BOX. FINALLY, THE DRINKS...SOMEBODY WANTS
    COKE, SOMEBODY ROOT BEER, AND SOMEBODY DIET COKE. AFTER THESE ARE DELIVERED,
    BRING THEM BACK AND SAY "I DIDN'T ORDER A DIET COKE! I ORDERED A SPRITE!"
    THIS GETS THEM MAD; BETTER YET, TURN DOWN SOMETHING TERRIBLE THAT NOBODY
    WANTS TO DRINK, SO THEY HAFTA THROW THE DRINK AWAY; THEY CAN'T SELL IT.
    AFTER ALL THE FOOD(?) IS HANDED TO YOU, YOU MUST =NEVER= HAVE ENOUGH MONEY
    TO PAY. THE CLERK WILL BE SO ANGRY AND CONFUSED THAT SHE'LL LET YA GET
    AWAY WITH IT (ANOTHER INFLUENCE ON HER IS YOUR FRIEND ASKING HER "IF YOU
    LET US GO I'LL GO OUT WITH YOU" AND GIVING HER A FAKE FONE NUMBER).
    NOW, BACK TO YOUR TABLE. BUT FIRST, SOMEBODY LIKES KETCHUP AND MUSTARD.
    AND PLENTY (TOO MUCH) OF NAPKINS. OH, AND SOMEBODY LIKES FORKS AND KNIVES,
    SO ALWAYS END UP BREAKING THE ONES YOU PICK OUTTA THE BOX. HAVE YOUR
    FRIENDS YELL OUT,"YAY!!!!! WE HAVE MUNCHIES!!" AS LOUD AS THEY CAN.
    THAT'LL WORRY THE ENTIRE RESTAURANT. PROCEED TO SIT DOWN. SO, YOU ARE
    SITTING IN THE SMOKING SECTION (BY ACCIDENT) EH? WELL, WHILE ONE OF THE
    TOBACCO-BREATHERS ISN'T LOOKING, PUT A SIGN FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
    ROOM SAYING "DO NOT SMOKE HERE" AND HE'LL HAFTA MOVE...THEN HE GOES INTO
    THE REAL NON-SMOKING SECTION, AND GETS YELLED AT. HE THEN THINKS THAT
    NO SMOKING IS ALLOWED IN THE RESTAURANT, SO HE EATS OUTSIDE (IN THE POURING
    RAIN) AFTER YOUR MEAL IS FINISHED (AND QUITE A FEW SPLATTERED-OPENED
    KETCHUP PACKETS ARE ALL OVER YER TABLE), TRY TO LEAVE. BUT OOPS! SOMEBODY
    HAS TO DO HIS DUTY IN THE MEN'S ROOM. AS HE GOES THERE, HE STICKS AN
    UNEATED HAMBURGGR (WOULD YOU DARE TO EAT ONE OF THEIR HAMBURGERS?)
    INSIDE THE TOILET, FLUSHES IT A WHILE,UNTIL IT RUNS ALL OVER THE BATHROOM.
    OOPS! SEND A PIMPLY-FACED TEENAGER TO CLEAN IT UP. (HE WON'T KNOW THAT
    BROWN THING IS A HAMBURGER, AND HE'LL GET SICK. WHEEE!)
    AS YOU LEAVE THE RESTCURANT, LOOKING BACK AT YOUR UNCLEANED TABLE, SOMEBODY
    MUST REMEMBER THAT THEY LEFT THEIR CHOCOLATE SHAKE THERE! THE ONE THAT'S
    ALMOST FULL!!!! HE TAKES IT THEN SAYS "THIS TASTES LIKE CRAP!", THEN HE
    TAKES OFF THE LID AND THROWS IT INTO THE GARBAGE CAN...OOPS! HE MISSED,
    AND NOW THE SAME POOR SOUL WHO'S CLEANING UP THE BATHROOM NOW HASTA CLEAN
    UP CHOCOLATE SHAKE. THEN LEAVE THE JOINT, REVERSING THE "YES, WE'RE OPEN"
    SIGN (AS A REMINDER OF YER VISIT THERE YOU HAVE IT! YOU HAVE JUST PUT
    ALL OF MCDONALDS INTO COMPLETE MAYHEM. AND SINCE THERE IS NO PENALTY FOR
    LITTERING IN A RESTAURANT, BUGGING PEOPLE IN A PUBLIC EATERY (OR
    THROW-UPERY, IN THIS CASE) YOU GET OFF SCOT-FREE. WASN'T THAT FUN?

    The following file is being reprinted in honor and sympathy for the many
    phreaks and hackers that have been busted recently by the Secret Service.

    -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
    Another one got caught today, it's all over the papers. "Teenager
    Arrested in Computer Crime Scandal", "Hacker Arrested after Bank
    Tampering"... Damn kids. They're all alike. But did you, in your threepiece
    psychology and 1950's technobrain, ever take a look behind the
    eyes of the hacker? Did you ever wonder what made him tick, what forces
    shaped him, what may have molded him? I am a hacker, enter my world...
    Mine is a world that begins with school... I'm smarter than most of the
    other kids, this crap they teach us bores me... Damn underachiever.
    They're all alike. I'm in junior high or high school. I've listened to
    teachers explain for the fifteenth time how to reduce a fraction.
    I understand it. "No, Ms. Smith, I didn't show my work. I did it in
    my head..." Damn kid. Probably copied it. They're all alike.
    I made a discovery today. I found a computer. Wait a second, this is
    cool. It does what I want it to. If it makes a mistake, it's because I
    screwed it up. Not because it doesn't like me... Or feels threatened by
    me.. Or thinks I'm a smart ass.. Or doesn't like teaching and shouldn't be
    here... Damn kid. All he does is play games. They're all alike. And then
    it happened... a door opened to a world... rushing through the phone line
    like heroin through an addict's veins, an electronic pulse is sent out,
    a refuge from the day-to-day incompetencies is sought... a board is found.
    "This is it... this is where I belong..." I know everyone here... even
    if I've never met them, never talked to them, may never hear from them
    again... I know you all... Damn kid. Tying up the phone line again.
    They're all alike... You bet your ass we're all alike... we've been
    spoon-fed baby food at school when we hungered for steak... the bits of
    meat that you did let slip through were pre-chewed and tasteless.
    We've been dominated by sadists, or ignored by the apathetic. The few
    that had something to teach found us willing pupils, but those few are
    like drops of water in the desert.
    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-cheap if it wasn't run by profiteering
    gluttons, and you call us criminals. We explore... and you call us
    criminals. We seek after knowledge... and you call us criminals. We
    exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias...
    and you call us criminals. You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you
    murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it's 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 Myth of the 2600hz Detector courtesy of the Jolly Roger
    (Imported from the Apple ][ so forgive the upper case!!)
    JUST ABOUT EVERYONE I TALK TO THESE DAYS ABOUT ESS SEEMS TO BE SCARED
    WITLESS ABOUT THE 2600HZ DETECTOR. I DON'T KNOW WHO THOUGHT THIS ONE UP,
    BUT IT SIMPLY DOES NOT EXIST. SO MANY OF YOU PEOPLE WHINE ABOUT THIS SO
    -CALLED PHREAK CATCHING DEVICE FOR NO REASON.
    SOMEONE WITH AT&T SAID THEY HAD IT TO CATCH PHREAKERS. THIS WAS JUST TO
    SCARE THE BLUE-BOXERS ENOUGH TO MAKE THEM QUIT BOXING FREE CALLS.
    I'M NOT SAYING ESS IS WITHOUT ITS HANG-UPS, EITHER. ONE THING THAT ESS CAN
    DETECT READILY IS THE KICK-BACK THAT THE TRUNK CIRCUITRY SENDS BACK TO THE
    ESS MACHINE WHEN YOUR LITTLE 2600HZ TONE RESETS THE TOLL TRUNK. AFTER AN
    ESS DETECTS A KICKBACK IT TURNS AN M-F DETECTOR ON AND RECORDES ANY M-F
    TONES X-MITTED.
    ---------------------------------------
    DEFEATING THE KICK-BACK DETECTOR
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    AS MENTIONED IN MY PREVIOUS NOTE, KICK-BACK DETECTION CAN BE A SERIOUS
    NUISANCE TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN GAINING CONTROL OF A TRUNK LINE.
    THE EASIEST WAY TO BY-PASS THIS DETECTION CIRCUITRY IS NOT REALLY
    BY-PASSING IT AT ALL, IT IS JUST LETTING THE KICK-BACK GET DETECTED ON
    SOME OTHER LINE. THIS OTHER LINE IS YOUR LOCAL MCI, SPRINT, OR OTHER LONG
    DISTANCE CARRIER (EXCEPT AT&T). THE ONLY CATCH IS THAT THE SERVICE
    YOU USE MUST NOT DISCONNECT THE LINE WHEN YOU HIT THE 2600HZ TONE.
    THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT: CALL UP YOUR LOCAL EXTENDER, PUT IN THE CODE,
    AND DIAL A NUMBER IN THE 601 AREA CODE AND THE 644 EXCHANGE. LOTS OF OTHER
    EXCHANGES WORK ACROSS THE COUNTRY, I'M SURE, BUT THIS IS THE ONLY ONE
    THAT I HAVE FOUND SO FAR. ANYWAY, WHEN IT STARTS RINGING, SIMPLY HIT
    2600HZ AND YOU'LL HEAR THE KICK-BACK, (KA-CHIRP, OR WHATEVER). THEN YOU ARE
    READY TO DIAL WHOEVER YOU WANT (CONFERENCES, INWARD, ROUTE AND RATE,
    OVERSEAS, ETC.) FROM THE TRUNK LINE IN OPERATOR TONES! SINCE BLOWING
    2600HZ DOESN'T MAKE YOU YOU A PHREAKER UNTIL THE TOLL EQUIPMENT RESETS
    THE LINE, KICKBACK DETECTION IS THE METHOD AT&T CHOOSES (FOR NOW)
    THIS INFORMATION COMES AS A RESULT OF MY EXPERIMENTS & EXPERIENCE AND
    HAS BEEN VERIFIED BY LOCAL AT&T EMPLOYEES I HAVE AS ACQUAINTANCES.
    THEY COULD ONLY SAY THAT THIS IS TRUE FOR MY AREA, BUT WERE PRETTY SURE
    THAT THE SAME IDEA IS IMPLEMENTED ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
    =======================================
    NOW THAT YOU KNOW HOW TO ACCESS A TRUNK LINE OR AS OPERATORS SAY A LOOP, I
    WILL TELL YOU THE MANY THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH IT.
    HERE IS A LIST OF AT&T SERVICES ACCESSIBLE TO YOU BY USING A BLUE BOX.
    A/C+101 TOLL SWITCHING
    A/C+121 INWARD OPERATOR
    A/C+131 INFORMATION
    A/C+141 ROUTE & RATE OP.
    A/C+11501 MOBILE OPERATOR
    A/C+11521 MOBILE OPERATOR
    STARTING CONFERANCES:---------------------
    THIS IS ONE THE MOST USEFUL ATTRIBUTES OF BLUE BOXING. NOW THE CONFS.
    ARE UP 24 HOURS/DAY AND 7 DAYS/WEEK AND THE BILLING LINES ARE BEING
    BILLED.
    SINCE I BELEIVE THE ABOVE IS TRUE (ABOUT THE BILLING LINES BEING BILLED)
    I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU NEVER LET YOUR # SHOW UP ON THE CONF. IF YOU
    STARTED IT, PUT IT ON A LOOP AND THEN CALL THE LOOP. ENOUGH
    BULLSHIT!!!!! TO START THE CONF. DIAL ONE OF THESE THREE NUMBERS IN
    M-F WHILE YOU ARE ON THE TRUNK.
    213+080+XXXX
    XXXX=1050,3050
    SPECIAL XXXX=1000,1100,1200,1500,2200,2500.
    THESE #S ARE IN L.A. AND ARE THE MOST WATCHED, I DO NOT ADVISE USING THIS
    NPA.
    312+001+1050 OR 3050
    914+042+1050 OR 1100,1200 ECT..
    ***************************************
    UPDATE, I BELEIVE ONLY 914 WORKS AT THE MOMENT
    ***************************************
    ONCE CONNECTED WITH ONE OF THESE YOU WILL EITHER HEAR A RE-ORDER,
    BUSY, OR CHERP. WHEN YOU HEAR THE CHERP ENTER THE BILLING LINE IN M-F.
    I USE THE CONF. DIAL- UP.
    A BILLING LINitz in the
    lobby or porch. Thanks alot, Lenny Lipshitz" (Make th
