- This guide is written in the same stream as the Real Pirates Guides, but for
- the Real Phreak. This is basically what real phreaks do and don't do according
- to other real phreaks... "Written by Real Phreaks for Real Phreaks". This
- phile has been written with the compiled ideas of phreaks other than the two
- writers listed in the intro. Therefore, we have a wider view of what you should
- be like. Well...on with the show!!!

-
- Phone Phreak - (as defined by Forest Ranger) In the mid- 1970's, cheating the
- phone company became the great national pasttime among a select group known as
- "Phone Phreaks". These hearty young souls knew more about the phone network
- than many AT&T engineers, and they learned most of it by reading AT&T technical
- journals and by experimenting with their own phones. But today, the Phone
- Phreaks have been hurt by a mass group known as the "Rodents". These Rodents
- have caused much pain and sorrow to what we know today as phreaking. This phile
- will show the do's and don't's of a real Phone Phreak...

-
- Real phreaks don't just leech off of BBS messages for their codes.
-
- Corollary: Real phreaks know that codes posted on BBS's are the most used and
- are probably the closest to being unsafe. Also, it is a known fact that pheds
- occasionally plant trap codes (codes with traces) to catch the phreak at work.
-
- Real phreaks don't worry about spelling. If their preference of spelling cool
- (K00L) is different from someone elses, they don't worry about what they say.
-
- Real phreaks don't try to bluebox from their home if they have ESS.
-
- Corollary: Real phreaks know that almost anything on ESS besides phreaking
- from your home is unsafe!
-
- Real phreaks don't call out of state Atari boards (unless they of course are
- an <koff!> Atari looking for wares) unless it is a phreak board (a rare case!).
-
- Real phreaks don't even attempt to use 2400 baud on extenders.
-
- Corollary: Real phreaks hope for the day that MCI/Sprint/Metro/etc. make
- it
- safe for phreaks to do 2400 baud transmissions.
-
- Corollary 2: Real phreaks know that extenders are the same as phreak numbers
- as MCI and any other service.
-
- Real phreaks read the Basic Telecommunications philes by BIOC Agent 003 to
- find out what is safe and what is not.
-
- Real phreaks have been on a conference.
-
- Corollary: Real phreaks know how, and could at their will, any time, set up a
- conference.
-
- Real phreaks don't try to use pulse fones on an extender.
-
- Corollary: If they don't have a touch tone fone, they know to use Travelnet's
- voice verification (even though it's not the safest to use from your home).
-
- Real phreaks don't have problems obtaining numbers to their local long
- distance service.
-
- Corollary: Real phreaks don't post messages asking for the number to the
- local long distance service dial-up.
-
- Real phreaks don't spend hours redialing Diversi-Dials all over the country,
- knowing that they are basically the same, and it won't help to keep the code
- valid.
-
- Corollary: Real phreaks don't call Diversi-Dials to get recognition on their
- name because they know that other people call up Diversi-Dials under false
- handles of other phreaks to get attention.
-
- Real phreaks pirate.
-
- Real phreaks don't work for any government agency.
-
- Real phreaks don't bust other phreaks (for any reason).
-
- Real phreaks know that P-80 isn't a legal board for you to call and voice your
- opinion about tHe new P-80 model of the TRS computer.
-
- Corollary: Real phreaks don't call boards named "H.O.M.E.", "Family Circus",
- or anything els5 that indicates family outings on the BBS's.
-
- Real phreak boards aren't named "Phreak/Hack Centre USA" and have their number
- posted on the Compu-Serve national BBS listing.
-
- Real phreaks have better things to do with their time than have Compu-Sex
- through a Diversi-Dial, E-mail, or any Dial-Your-Match BBS.
-
- Corollary: Real phreaks get the real thing.
-
- Real phreaks don't listen to Duran Duran...ever!
-
- Corollary: Real phreaks change the channel with swiftness if they hear any
- gay group come onto the channel they are listening to.
-
- Real phreaks aren't named "Mr. Phreak" on boards like "H.O.M.E." or any legal
- board.
-
- Corollary: Real phreaks can think up a creative name unlike "Mr. Phreak" for
- their permanant name.
-
- Real phreaks don't watch Saturday morning cartoons.
-
- Real phreaks don't use their codes to call up sysops of boards all overthe
- country to bother them voice for hours.
-
- Real phreaks don't have to start G-philes disks by leeching off of other
- phreaks because they are original enough to realize that they are readily
- available on most phreak boards.
-
- Real phreaks can spot a rodent 10 miles away.
-

-
- Well, that about wraps it up for Real Phreakers Guide Volume 1. If there is
- already a volume one for a Real Phreakers Guide, well, this is our volume one.
- If any of this is copied from your Real Phreakers Guide, we apologize, but this
- has all been original. This has been brought around with the help of the
- following phreaks:
-
- Forest Ranger, The Lone Ranger, Napoleon Solo, and other minor phreaks that I
- might have missed.
