have done that, it is quite simple to have fun with it. Blow a KP tone to starta call, a ST tone to stop it, and a 2600hz tone to hang up. Once you haveconnected to it, here are some fun numbers to call with it:0-700-456-1000  Teleconference (free, because you are the operator!)(Area code)-101 Toll Switching(Area code)-121 Local Operator (hehe)(Area code)-131 Information(Area code)-141 Rate & Route(Area code)-181 Coin Refund Operator(Area code)-11511 Conference operator (when you dial 800-544-6363) Well, those were the tone matrix controllers for the blue box and some otherhelpful stuff to help you to start out with. But those are only the functionswith the operator. There are other k-fun things you can do with it... More advanced Blue Box Stuff:   Oops. Small mistake up there. I forgot tone lengths. Um, you blow a tonepair out for up to 1/10 of a second with another 1/10 second for silencebetween the digits. KP tones should be sent for 2/10 of a second. One way toconfuse the 2600hz traps is to send pink noise over the channel (for all of youthat have decent BSR equalizers, there is major pink noise in there...)Using the operator functions is the use of the 'inward' trunk line. That isworking it from the inside. From the 'outward' trunk, you can do such things asmake emergency breakthrough calls, tap into lines, busy all of the lines in anytrunk (called 'stacking'), enable or disable the TSPS's, and for some 4asystems you can even re-route calls to anywhere. All right. The one thing that every complete phreak guide should not bewithout is blue box plans, since they were once a vital part of phreaking.Another thing that every complete file needs is a complete listing of all ofthe 800 numbers around so you can have some more fun./-/   800 Dialup Listings  /-/1-800-345-0008 (6)   1-800-547-6754 (6)1-800-245-4890 (4)   1-800-327-9136 (4)1-800-526-5305 (8)   1-800-858-9000 (3)1-800-437-9895 (7)   1-800-245-7508 (5)1-800-343-1844 (4)   1-800-322-1415 (6)1-800-437-3478 (6)   1-800-325-7222 (6)                                    Page 23                        The Official Phreaker's Manual All right, set Cat Hacker 1.0 on those numbers and have a fuck of a day. Thatis enough with 800 codes, by the time this gets around to you I dunno whatstate those codes will be in, but try them all out anyways and see what youget. On some 800 services now, they have an operator who will answer and askyou for your code, and then your name. Some will switch back and forth betweenvoice and tone verification, you can never be quite sure which you will be upagainst. Armed with this knowledge you should be having a pretty good time phreakingnow. But class isn't over yet, there are still a couple important rules thatyou should know. If you hear continual clicking on the line, then you shouldassume that an operator is messing with something, maybe even listening in onyou. It is a good idea to call someone back when the phone starts doing that.If you were using a code, use a different code and/or service to call himback. A good way to detect if a code has gone bad or not is to listen when thenumber has been dialed. If the code is bad you will probably hear the phoneringing more clearly and more quickly than if you were using a different code.If someone answers voice to it then you can immediately assume that it is anoperative for whatever company you are using. The famed '311311' code for Metrois one of those. You would have to be quite stupid to actually respond, becausewhoever you ask for the operator will always say 'He's not in right now, can Ihave him call you back?' and then they will ask for your name and phone number.Some of the more sophisticated companies will actually give you a carrier on aline that is supposed to give you a carrier and then just have garbage flowacross the screen like it would with a bad connection. That is a feeble effortto make you think that the code is still working and maybe get you to dialsomeone's voice... a good test for the carrier trick is to dial a number thatwill give you a carrier that you have never dialed with that code before, thatwill allow you to determine whether the code is good or not. For our next section, a lighter look at some of the things that a phreakshould not be without. A vocabulary. A few months ago, it was a quite strangeworld for the modem people out there. But now, a phreaker's vocabulary isessential if you wanna make a good impression on people when you post what youknow about certain subjects./-/    Vocabulary    /-/ - Do not misspell except certain exceptions:      phone -> fone      freak -> phreak - Never substitute 'z's for 's's. (i.e. codez -> codes) - Never leave many characters after a post (i.e. Hey Dudes!#!@#@!#!@) - NEVER use the 'k' prefix (k-kool, k-rad, k-whatever) - Do not abbreviate. (I got lotsa wares w/ docs) - Never substitute '0' for 'o' (r0dent, l0zer). - Forget about ye old upper case, it looks ruggyish. All right, that was to relieve the tension of what is being drilled into yourminds at the moment.. now, however, back to the teaching course. Here are somethings you should know about phones and billings for phones, etc. LATA:  Local Access Transference Area. Some people who live in large cities orareas may be plagued by this problem. For instance, let's say you live in the215 area code under the 542 prefix (Ambler, Fort Washington). If you went todial in a basic Metro code from that area, for instance, 351-0100, that mightnot be counted under unlimited local calling because it is out of your LATA.For some LATA's, you have to dial a '1' without the area code before you candial the phone number. That could prove a hassle for us all if you didn't                                    Page 24                        The Official Phreaker's Manualrealize you would be billed for that sort of call. In that way, sometimes, itis better to be safe than sorry and phreak. The Caller Log: In ESS regions, for every household around, the phone companyhas something on you called a Caller Log. This shows every single number thatyou dialed, and things can be arranged so it showed every number that wascalling to you. That's one main disadvantage of ESS, it is mostly computerizedso a number scan could be done like that quite easily. Using a dialup is aneasy way to screw that, and is something worth remembering. Anyways, with thecaller log, they check up and see what you dialed. Hmm... you dialed 15different 800 numbers that month. Soon they find that you are subscribed tonone of those companies. But that is not the only thing. Most people wouldimagine "But wait! 800 numbers don't show up on my phone bill!". To thosepeople, it is a nice thought, but 800 numbers are picked up on the caller loguntil right before they are sent off to you. So they can check right up on youbefore they send it away and can note the fact that you fucked up slightly andcalled one too many 800 lines.Right now, after all of that, you should have a pretty good idea of how to growup as a good phreak. Follow these guidelines, don't show off, and don't takeunnecessary risks when phreaking or hacking.File Level:5  /-/    Credits   /-/ To The Videosmith- for setting me straight on some shit.
