Intro The purpose of this manuscript is to introduce useful Field techniques. These techniques have been developed by myself, Anonymous Caller, and many others. Chapter II. Field Kit This Field Kit is neccessity for the real Phreaker. Some so-called Phreaks get all of their information including codes from Bbs's and have a big enough ego to claim to be real Phreaks. Real Phreaks acquire knowledge on his own through Exploring and Experimenting. Following is a list of items you need in your Kit: - Test Phone...:Most important tool. I'll tell you how to get one and make one. - BackPack.....:Get a big one to hold all your shit. - Ratchets.....:You need only 7/16" and 3/8" size. - Screwdrivers.:Medium,Large, and a Phillips head screwdrivers. - Wire Cutters.:In case you want to fuck up someones phone lines. - Pliers.......:Miscellaneous. - Xacto Knife..:To strip wires. - Flashlight...:If you need alot of light. - Penlight.....:Smaller the better, I hold mine in my mouth when I work. - Paper & Pen..:Write down numbers,people you want to call,codes,locations,etc. - Golves.......:Make shure you don't get lit up. - Walkie Talkie:In case your with somebody else who is the lookout. - Pocket dialer:This should have a Red Box built in it, Just in Case.. - Marlboro Reds:To calm your nerves and pass the time on the alliance. - Bandana......:Manholes <Bell ones anyway> are real fuckin dusty. - Dark Clothes.:Have to be dark to conceal yourself from The Gestapo. - Lighter......:For the cigarrettes and smoke diversions - Smoke Bombs..:Blind The Gestapo - Bolt Cutters.:Heavy and sometimes not needed, But are very useful. Keep everything where you can find it. You don't wan't to be searching for your Cigarrettes when your having a nic fit. Chapter III. Making a Test Phone The test phone is the most Important piece of equipment for Field Work. You can try to sneak into a Bell Truckyard and get a real Test Set. If you'd rather not do this, don't worry making your own is simple. First get a telephone set for your own purposes. Find the wire coming out of the phone that is supposed to go to the wall jack. It should be at least three feet long for convience. Cut off the Modular jack at the end of the wire. Strip the wire, and there should be at least two wires most of the phones around me have four, Red,Green,Black,Yellow. You want the red, and the green. If you open up your phone and there is no red, or green don't worry its usually the two middle wires. Take these wires and strip them, solder the wires to two different aligator <these should be insulated> clips. You now have a Test Phone Now lets see if you hooked everything up right. Where I live the Phone boxes are in the basements, or they could be on the outside of your house. Wherever they are, it should look like a Grey little box that says some goofy shit like Telephone Network InterFace and have Ma bells little phukin bell on it. The Cover on this should pop right up. Now inside there will be some screws these are the terminals. Now the phrase to remeber is Ring Right Red. You hook up the red wires to the rightmost terminal. Then the green to the left one. If you get a dialtone Good job, your phone is now in violation of one of those fucking laws concerning wiretapping. If not hey, don't sweat it keep fucking with it. Now that your phone is working "Go To Work." You now can hook your phone up to any terminals and call out and/or listen in. Be carful, though you dont want to be on 1-900-HOT-SEXX when the person who lives there picks up the phone. If you want to you could hook up a line and run them to your room and call LD and D/L all night. But, make sure you take the line down before Dawn. Because most people would want to now why theres a line running from there house to your bedroom. Chapter IV. ManHoles One way to get access to alot of fuckin phone lines is to get into a manhole. Now you don't want get into a Sewer manhole so look around at the lids of the manholes there should be a goofy little bell on it. if you cant find one with a bell on it take a trip to the Central Office and see what the lids look like down there. Now getting into one of these fuckers is a different story. Where I live it takes about 3 people to open these things up. Two people to pry with crowbars and one person to push the lid off. Once you get the lid off look down the hole with a flashlight. If you see a ladder head down. If not look for another one. Most of the time there will be a few inches of water at the bottom so wear boots. Once you get down there it will be dusty <I speak from Experince> so make sure you have you bandana with you. Down there you might get some manuals take the fuckers look through them maybe you'll learn something. Running along the wall there will be some PVC tubes, the wires are in the tubes. Attached to these tubes there will be some short, wide plastic cylinders. You will either need a ratchet or a screwdriver to get the thing open. If you get the fucker open, Good job you now have access to countless phone lines. I'm shure you know what to do now. Chapter V. Exploring Bell Truckyards One of the best ways to learn about Ma and all her ways, is to visit a truckyard or the central office and take whatever you can get your hands on. Ma Bell doesn't give a fuck about there shit, which is why they leave their trucks unlocked. Also you can have Phun checking the Dumpsters for documents and shit like that. Who knows you may get lucky. But the most fun is going through the truckyards and getting shit. The first time I checked a truckyard I came out with 3 Test sets, A hard hat :), A tool belt, and 50 feet of cable. I'll describe how I did it. First off wait till real late like 2-3:00 then go to the back of the yard someplace where it is dark and you have at least 2 exits <don't let yourself get corned, always have a plan> once there they usually park the trucks with the rear doors toward the fence. Simply cut the fence and open the doors, crawl inside and take whatver the fuck you want. Chapter VI. Bell Boxes In this chapter I will focus mainly on Bell terminal boxes. Home Boxes - This will vary from city to city. Where I live the boxes are located in the basements of the houses. Therefore you can't really get to them unless you want to break into the house and go into the basement, so I wont go into depth with this one. Mulit-Line boxes - Around me these are usually found behind apartments or sometimes for no aparent reason on poles placed close to the bottom. Usually they are Aluminum with the bell on it. When you find one of these in a nice spot you can phreak you ass off. Theres usually about 20 terminals just waiting to be phreaked. This is where (if not to far) you can run a line up to your room and D/l all night. Small Distribution Boxes - Usually these boxes are a light green in color and in front of buisness'. There are two different sizes of of wires in the box. The large wies lead to buildings while the small ones lead to other boxes to be spliced into large ones. Medium Distribution Boxes - The same as the small ones, except that there is a flat access panel that has to be taken off. Flat Peg Boxes - These are mostly found behind Supermarkets or large office complexs' and shopping malls. Most of the time they are mounted on the wall and are opened by a handle on a hinged door. Inside the the terminals will be grouped in bunches of four. The terminals are long flat pegs. Its hard to hook up the clips because the terminals are so close together. It gets easier with practice. Wire Box - A very nice box and the one I always look for. Light green in color and about 3 feet off the ground and has two doors open by a single latch, which is usually locked by a Padlock and one of those locks you see on a soda machine How you get it open is a different story. Just do it when theres no people around. Inside the wires lead into long, palstic grouping stations. There will be a tool attached by two screws on the side of the door. Connect your phone to the screws then use the tool and connect it to one of the grouping stations, You should here a dial tone. There are several different lines in one grouping station. Terminal Boxes - This has to be the king of all boxes. One box may contain up to 800 lines! I doubt you will have trouble finding these boxes, they are 4 feet in height and are that light green color with the bell logo on it. After opening a box, you will see many red and white numbered terminal pairs on each side. On the inside each door there are two srews leading out to double current aligators. Connect your phone to the screws and then the alligators to anyone of the terminals. Chapter VII. Outro Hopefully you now have enough knoweledge to start you on the wonderful road of Phield Phreaking. Here are a few tips. 1. Always have a plan. In case somebody asks you what your doing have a story ready. 2. Don't corner yourself, always have to escape routes. 3. Its good to have a Skateboard or something should somebody chase ya. 4. If ya get caught, stay cool. If your a minor don't worry about jail you'll only get a real stiff fine, thats about it. If your over 18, I'm pretty shure your fucked in ass. SO better whatch it out there!! Chapter VIII SPecial SEction As you all know by now Ionic Destruction is down. The number has been changed and will be back up March 10.
