COPPER BOX 

---------- 

Conceived By: The Cypher





------- 

Purpose 

-------



This box can destroy a phone company, no  matter  how  big.   You

could  bring  AT&T  down  to their knees!  Only to be used by the

most irate of Phracks, it is intended for informational  purposes

only.







------- 

History 

-------



This is really not a Box, but if you consider a Cheese Box a Box,

then  it  is.  It was first conceived back in 1986 when a Phriend

and I came up with the idea while using a  Copper-coloured  fone,

hence, a Copper Box.







------------ 

Instructions 

------------



You must obtain [1] extender, or phone company port, like an  MCI

or  SPRINT access number.  [2] A hell of a lot of nerve, and ven-

detta towards the phone company (phriend gets busted,  rates  in-

crease,  etc.)  [3]  a  computer  &  modem capable of autodialing

[tone.]



Dial the number of the L/D service, then enter  the  code.   Dial

the  number  of the service again, through the outdial number you

are still on, enter code, then dial again and again.  You  should

hear,  after a while (it will take a long time for BIG companies)

a slight high-pitched,  unstable  tone,  that  grows  louder  and

louder w/every dial.  Once it gets so loud that it refuses to let

in any more sounds, you have just completed the  first  cycle  of

the Copper Box.



Leave line off-hook for about 10 minutes or until the tone  seems

to  calm  down,  or stop completely.  Then, dial again and repeat

over and over again until when you dial  a  last  time,  it  [the

port]  doesn't answer.  You have just killed a telephone company,

extender, etc.







------------------- 

Theory of Operation 

-------------------



What happens is that when the tone begins to rise, it is a result

of  cross- talk feedback.  The more you dial,  the more it grows.

In systems like these, the small, sensitive equipment such as am-

pliers,  etc.  begin  to  burn out as  a  result of the feedback,

damaging the equipment, and possibly starting a fire at the loca-

tion of the equipment.
