Terminal Phun!
(how to terminal phreak)
by: Magnus Adept
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Another Clestial Elite phile!
After hearing and worrying about AT&T
(already broken up) becoming
independent companies (no more direct
MCI dialups) I decided to discover a
phun alternative, and start hacking
on those puse green terminals in
everyone's own backyard. We have
found many phun and practical uses
for these. Now onward for our quest
for phun!
Equipment you must have:
1 crowbar
1 Modu-Box and phone (a beige box
will do as a substitute for both)
What to do:
1. Find a target terminal.
This should be in an out of the
way place, not the ones in
people's front yards.
2. Find the side with the bolt on it.
This may be taken off with a
rachet, but I prefer to use the
good ol' reliable 100% steel
crowbar.
The crowbar method: take claw and
insert short end under the front
plate, push down and wala! It's
open and ready for abuse.
3. Find the long line of terminal
bolts. These may be in the upper
left hand corner. Attach your
two alligator clips to these.
Pick the phone up. Is there a
dial tone? If not, switch the
clips around. Is there a dial
tone now? If not, this pair of
bolts is not connected, so go on
to the next pair.
No matter what variable type
terminal, you can always depend
on that there will always be at
least 2 vertical bolt lines.
4. When you get the dial tone, I'm
sure that we all know how many
hours of enjoyment we can recieve
out of doing it.
This gets really hilarious if
there are electrical outlets
right next to it.
5. The best way to do this is to mark
down numbers (T1, T2, T3, etc.
meaning terminal number) on your
map and write down the information
about this terminal on your sheet
of paper (phone numbers, C.N.s,
loop lines, etc.)
Things you can do:
1. Bother the operator with obscene
name calling and see how long it
takes for her to trace you.
2. Put a whopping big bill on
someone's (something's?) phone
line and let them worry about it.
(Since you are calling straight
from THEIR phone line, there is no
denying the bill and they will
have to pay it. Good revenge
weapon against neighboring
enemies. (A call to Iran for a
day oughta do it.)
3. You get the advantage of clearer
connections and...
4. no code shit.
Something you can do if you have an
electrical outlet right next to it:
1. The best thing is for this sucker
to be in an out of the way place.
(very rare)
2. Build a fort right next (around!)
to it.
3. Pay your local ruggies off so they
will play but not damage your
phreak shack.
4. Have a sign saying: "This fort was
provided for all to use, so please
don't damage it."
5. At night, haul your computer
equipment to your phreak shack,
power up and attach everything to
everywhere.
6. Attach your modem to call-out
number (C.N.) only.
7. Now you're totally prepared to
hack with a 99.999999% chance of
not being busted!
REMEMBER: USE A C.N. WHEN HACKING!
This will save you a lot of
unnecessary hassle and big trouble
from The Gestapo. (Bell)
Definition of C.N.:
Most terminals have a pair of bolts
that register a weird phone number
(found by calling your local ANI) and
cannot be called up. For example, I
found a number like 300-5856. When
we called 300, it gave me a quick
busy signal. (Like the kind you get
from an unassigned number.) This
means that this probably cannot be
traced by any means and The Gestapo
gets to pay for all the calls. This
unassigned number is used by phone
men to call out. (These are not loop
lines, for it is a single line only.)
