- A Gold Box is a most wonderful thing. With about $5.00 in
- parts and 30 minutes of soldering, you can effectively create
- your own portable diverters.
-
- Definition of a Gold Box-When linked across two telephone lines,
- a Gold Box allows you to call one phone number and get the
- other's dialtone. This allows virtually untraceable
- long-distance
-
- calling. Simply hook it up to your favorite victims' phone
- lines one night, go home and dial their number, and phreak all
- night long at their expense. As long as you remove the box
- after you're done, there will be nothing left but a monstrous
- phone bill.
-
- For easier reading the schematics have been converted to GIF
- format and can be viewed or printed using any standard GIF
- utility.
-
- PARTS LIST: (I've also included Radio Shack conversion #'s for
- everyone's convenience)
-
- 2 - 2N3904 NPN Transistors (RS Cat#-276-2009)
- 2 - 10K Ohm Resistors (RS Cat#-271-1335)
- 2 - 1.5K Ohm Resistors (RS Cat#-271-025)
- 1 - 1.2K Ohm Resistor (RS Cat#-271-024)
- 2 - Red LED's (RS Cat#-276-033A)
- 2 - Photocells (RS Cat#-276-1657)
- 2 - Gator Clips
- 1 - 3" X 2" Circuit Board
- 1 - Nice little box to put it all in (About 3" X 2")
-
- The schematics are fairly straightforward, and if you can't
- read a simple circuit diagram you probably shouldn't be on this
- BBS to begin with so TAKE OFF LAMER!
-
- NOTES: - Make sure that the LED's shine directly on the
- Photocells and that the box lets in no light.
- - You need only complete the first part of the circuit for a
- working Box, but whenever someone picks up the phone line, they
- will hear a very faint dial-tone.
-
- Once the device is completed hook it up between two sets of
- phone lines. If you know the numbers, so much the better, if
- not, use ANI to get them. Go to the nearest unrelated phone
- and call the number hooked up to Red 1. You should hear a
- dialtone. ANI that number from where you are and it should be
- the second phone line. HAPPY PHREAKING!
-
- ADDITIONAL FIELD -TESTING NOTES:
-
- -No ring is detected by the victim when you call his/her/its
- line.
-
- -If they pick up the line they will hear nothing (A faint
- dialtone if you only complete the first part of the schematics)
-
- -When the device is not in use, the person can use his phone
- normally. This is exceptionally useful when you hooks The Box
- across two payphone lines. Just scratch off the numbers on the
- payphones so no one else can call. Go home and call the
- payphones, then when you get the first one's dialtone, Red Box
- your way around the world!! This method works exceptionally
- well because as far as Ma Bell is concerned, that call was paid
- for. A Gold/Red combination like the above can be reliable
- long-term method of Phreaking. But PLEASE, PLEASE don't be
- total idiot and call the payphones during the time when someone
- might pick up the phone and report the loss of a dialtone to SW
- Bell!!! I believe doing this sort of a thing to a payphone is a
- Federal Offense, so, naturally, this phile is for information
- purposes only-Yeah, Right!
-
- Live Long and Multiply!
