Many times I have been on a BBS, whichhas files claiming to have summed up all the ways to phreak in the U.S. andabroad, well those were pretty lame and a couple pages long.  Now after manyrelentless hours of work, I have done it.  This is an informative file and theauthors of this and the authors from which I have gathered information, takeabsolutely NO responsibility and are not liable for, under any circumstancesfor damage, direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential.    Warning: Use of this material may shorten your life in the free world!   Ok enough of the bullshit, I readily admit that this is mainly a compilationof available phreak material and public resources.  What I have done is togather it all together and edit, compile, check for errors, put in a readableform, and finally to write what I know without echoing what others have said.I have set this up that it is good for all levels of phreaks, going from noviceto advanced, and references and tables for easy reference in the back.   This manual is constantly being updated!  If you have any contributions orcorrections or comments, please leave messages to me (Jack the Ripper) on anyBBS's I am on (probably where you got it).  Thanks!

After the vocab, will be some of thegeneral rules for phreaking.  Most of the rules are protection from the policeand AT&T, but others are grammatical rules.  These are not as important to yourfreedom, but many a phreak will think you are a twelve year old if you starttalking like, "Hey dudz!^$(&, just got the latest warez! trade u for somesoft/docs. Checkul8r".  Well you get the point, here's your vocab list...                                    Page 5                        The Official Phreaker's Manual
