RAINBOW BOX
-----------
By: The Dolphin that came from Belmont
------------
Introduction
------------
I have just had the misfortune of reading that the rainbow box
that I constructed is a fraud and never existed. Being slightly
confused, I looked over at it and when I saw that it was still
there, I decided that someone was wrong on their assumption
wasn't me. Here is a brief background on the Rainbow box:
"Rainbow Box: SUPPOSEDLY non-existent. Kills trace by putting
120v into the phone lines, SUPPOSEDLY!"
(Excerpt from a phile found on local BBS, author unknown)
The above sums up what a Rainbow box does, but it is VERY
understated. Like my creation of the Bottle-Nosed Grey box, it is
a VERY powerful box capable of doing a great amount of damage to
both the phone lines, your phone and the person at the other end
of the line's phone a/o modem. Right now you have everything you
need to build one, so let's see how. You'll need:
---------
Materials
---------
1 each Telephone (Rotary with access to the mouth part)
1 each Extension Cord (120v or 220v, your choice)
1 each wall outlet
1 each wire splicers
5 points of I.Q. or above to build this thing.
2 points of I.Q. or less to actually use it.
------------
Construction
------------
Okay, now: Unscrew the mouth part of the phone and take the
speaker off. You'll see two (2) wires. A Red wire and a Black
wire (please hold all 'No #$%^ Sherlock!' type comments for now,
thank you.). Now splice the extension cord, you'll see a red wire
and a black wire. Splice the black wire in the cord to the black
wire in the phone, do the same with the red. Congrats! You just
made a non-existent Rainbow Box! Don't you feel proud? You
shouldn't, any moron could have figured this out!
-----
Usage
-----
Bloody hell, if you can't figure this out, I ain't even gonna
tell you (here's a hint: Plug the cord into the wall.)
------------
How it works
------------
The phone lines can resist a charge of 6v and a little more,
when you plug in that cord, you're sending 120v or 220v through
the lines. It blows out everything, but it is non selective.
Odds are you will take out every phone in the neighborhood
and get caught. It will melt the phone if you let it go long
enough. WARNING: THIS DEVICE CAN VERY EASILY START A FIRE, BE
CAREFUL WHEN PLAYING AROUND WITH THIS!
------------------------------------------
How this and Bottle Nosed Grey Box differ?
------------------------------------------
1) Bottle-Nosed Grey box is selective and will do damage to only
your phone, the line between you and your enemy and your enemy's
MODEM, whereas the Rainbow Box just takes everything out.
2) The amperage on the Bottle-Nosed Grey box can be controlled
by adding or removing capacitors, but the Rainbow Box has only 2
settings: Strong Pulse and STRONG pulse.
Well, now you know about a myth that came to life, the Rainbow
Box!
