-
- Wanna blow your mind? Scott French seems to know how to (literally) blow
- his enemies' minds! For good! Read on.....
-
- "The Russians have apparently been experimenting and using (they were busted
- several years ago aiming a crude version at an American embassy...) a
- device which is about the size of a transistor radio and produces RF energy
- at a frequency of about 388 mc. This little "black box" (sic) will cause
- anyone nearby to become very confused, lose his memory (including to the
- point of not remembering his own name) and may cause permanent insanity
- after a prolonged exposure. These devices are fairly simple to put together
- and the plans are commercially available so it is fairly safe to assume that
- the CIA has done some research into this field also.
-
- The CIA reportedly has a drop-in phone device which will fry the brain of
- the person who answers the phone in about 5 seconds. It is very possible
- that this device also operates in the dangerous 384-388 MHz area, and is
- pulsed at about 11 CPS.
-
- Just imagine the possibilities; a "phone repairman" comes in to check the
- unit, spends a minute or two and leaves, giving you the "all clear".
- The phone rings a minute later, you answer, and WHAMMO! Your wife is
- collecting (My insurance company, why New England Life. Why?)"
-
- This excerpt from French's THE BIG BROTHER GAME alerts us to just one of
- many possibilites for dealing with those who stand in your way, whatever
- twisted and depraved way that may be.
-
- In future issues of PHRACKERS HERALD, plans for such a device as detailed above
- may become available.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- OK, remember in the beginning of the file I mentioned that one of the few safe
- phreaking methods left was red-boxing? Well, for you Commodore 64 owners, I
- have written a short BASIC program which makes the famed RED BOX TONES.
-
- If you type this program in, DO NOT COMPILE IT!!!!! The timing is rather
- critical and is controlled by for-next loops, so compiling this program would
- fuck it up royally. Maybe later I will publish a machine language version, but
- the BASIC code is so damn simple, it hardly seems worth it.
-
- Anyways, here's the program:

-
- Too fucking simple to believe.
- The way that I have always recommended to use computer-generated red box tones
- is to play them into the audio-in of your stereo's tape deck. Get a GOOD
- recording of about ten bucks' worth of quarters, and when you go to a fortress
- to use red box tones, just play 'em back thru a WALKMAN. Make sure you
- "deposit" LOTS of quarters when you call, so that operators don't butt in on
- conversations which could very well deal with phreaking.
-
- I have many programs for my '64 which generate box tones, if you want a
- COMPLETE set of phreak tones I suggest you get a copy of Phone Man 4.0, 5.5,
- or 6.1 . All 3 contain Blue, Green, Red, and Silver box tones, plus 2600 hertz,
- 2600 plus pink noise, 1850 hertz "TASI" tone, and a frequency generator. Plus
- a GOOD terminal program that supports user-defined text fonts to make hacking
- as easy on the eyes as possible....

- GOLD BOXING FOR THE COMMON MAN
-
-
- March 1987
-
-
- Well, there are a few files which contain gold box plans, but these have
- schematics which are nearly impossible to follow due to a lack of author
- creativity. Here then, is the schematic for the Gold Box, re-drawn more
- clearly. For operating data, refer to OTHER FILES.

- PARTS LIST:
-
- Q1, Q2 : 2N3904 or similar NPN transistor
- R1, R3 : Typical cadmium-sulfide photoresistors
- R2 : 22k ohm, 1/4 watt. Tolerance not critical; use 10% if you like.
- R4 : 1.4k ohm, 1/4 watt. Non-standard; you may need to daisy-chain two R's.
- LED1,LED2 : Jumbo size Red LED's, the brighter the better.
- Misc: Hookup wire, solder, etc. and a LIGHT-PROOF BOX to mount it all in.
-
-
-
-
- TECHNICAL NOTES:
-
- (1) Make sure that the device is completely shielded from light.
-
- (2) LED1 MUST shine directly on R1, and LED2 must shine directly upon R3. It
- is best if the LEDs are actually touching the photocells. The reason for
- this is that the LEDs and cells form optoisolators. I have not tried to
- deviate from the above schematic, but I submit that any common TIL-series
- optoisolator chip would have done the job just as well as the rather bulky
- and unreliable LED-photocell assemblies. This would also have precluded the
- need for a light-proof enclosure.
-
- (3) Operation of the device is as detailed in OTHER files on Gold Boxing.
-
-
-
-
- Remember that Gold Boxing, although one of the safest ways to phreak, is
- *HIGHLY* illegal and if you were to be caught installing a Gold Box, or if you
- screwed up in its construction and managed to GET TRACED, you will almost
- certainly face felony charges, especially here in Canada with our
- last-century laws on the subject. That was your only warning from me.
