    Every true phreaker lives in fear of the dreaded F.B.I. 'Lock in Trace.'
For a long time, it was impossible to escape from the lock in trace. This box
does offer and escape route with simple directions to it. This box is quite a
simple concept, and almost any phreaker with basic electronics knowledge can
construct and use it.

A Lock-in Trace is a device used by the F.B.I. to lock into the phone users 
location so that he can not hang up while a trace is in progress.  For those 
of you who are not familiar with the concept of 'locking in', then here's a 
brief description.
   The F.B.I. can tap into a conversation, sort of like a three-way call
connection.  Then, when they get there, they can plug electricity into the
phone line.  All phone connections are held open by a certain voltage of elec-
tricity, that is why you sometimes get static and faint connections when you
are calling far away, because the electricity has trouble keeping the line up.
What the lock in trace does is cut into the line and generate that same
voltage straight into the lines.  That way, when you try and hang up, voltage
is retained.  Your phone will ring just like someone was calling you even
after you hang up.  (If you have call waiting, you should understand better
about that, for call waiting intercepts the electricity and makes a tone that
means someone is going through your line.  Then, it is a matter of which
voltage is higher.  When you push down the receiver, then it see-saws the
electricity to the other side.  When you have a person on each line it is im-
possible to hang up unless one or both of them will hang up.  If you try to
hang up, voltage is retained, and your phone will ring.  That should give you
an understanding of how calling works.  Also, when electricity passes through
a certain point on your phone, the electricity causes a bell to ring or on
some newer phones an electronic ring to sound.
    So, in order to eliminate the trace, you somehow must lower the voltage
level on your phone line.  You should know that every time someone else picks
up the phone line, then the voltage does decrease a little.  In the first
steps of planning this out, Xerox suggested getting about a hundred phones all
hooked into the same line that could all be taken off the hook at the same
time.  That would greatly decrease the voltage level.  That is also why most
three-way connections that are using the bell service three way calling (which
is only $3 a month) become quite faint after a while.
    By now, you should understand the basic idea.  You have to drain all of
the power out of the line so the voltage can not be kept up.  A rather sudden
draining of power could quickly short out the F.B.I. voltage machine, because
it was only built to sustain the exact voltage necessary to keep the voltage
out.
    For now, imagine this.  One of the normal Radio Shack generators that you
can go pick up that one end of the cord that hooks into the central box has a
phone jack on it and the other has an electrical plug.  This way, you can
"flash" voltage THROUGH the line, but can't drain it.  So, some modifications
have to be done.

 MATERIALS NEEDED- a BEOC (Basic Electrical Output Socket), like a small lamp
                   type connection, where you just have a simple plug and wire
                   that would plug into a light bulb.
                 - One of the cords mentioned above, if you can't find one
                   then construct your own; same voltage connection, but the
                   restrainer must be built in (i.e. the central box)
                 - TWO phone jacks (one for the modem, one for if you are
                   being traced to plug the aqua box into)
                 - Some creativity and easy work.
 
 NOTICE: No phones have to be destroyed/modified to make this box, so don't go
         out and buy a new phone for it!
 
    All right, this is a very simple procedure.  If you have the BEOC, it
could drain into anything, a radio, or whatever.  The purpose of having that
is you are going to suck the voltage out from the phone line into the electri-
cal appliance so there would be no voltage left to lock you in with.

1) Take the connection cord.  Examine the plug at the end.  It should have
   only two prongs, if it has three, still, do not fear.  MAKE SURE THE ELEC-
   TRICAL APPLIANCE IS TURNED OFF unless you wanna become a crispy critter
   while making this thing.  Most plugs will have a hard plastic design on the
   top of them to prevent you from getting in at the electrical wires inside.
   Well, get a knife and remove it.  If you want to keep the plug (I don't see
   why...) then just cut the top off.  When you look inside, low and behold,
   you will see that at the base of the prongs there are a few wires connect-
   ing in.  Those wires conduct the power into the appliance.  So, you care-
   fully unwrap those from the sides and pull them out until they are about an
   inch ahead of the prongs.  If you don't wanna keep the jack, then just rip
   the prongs out.  If you are, cover the prongs with insulation tape so they
   will not connect with the wires when the power is being drained from the
   line.

2) Do the same thing with the prongs on the other plug, so you have the wires
   evenly connected.  Now, wrap the end of the wires around each other.  If
   you happen to have the other end of the voltage cord hooked into the phone,
   stop reading now, you're too fucking stupid to continue.  After you've
   wrapped the wires around each other, then cover the whole thing with the
   plugs with insulating tape.  Then, if you built your own control box or if
   you bought one, then cram all the wires into the box and re-close it.

3) Re-check everything to make sure it's all in place.  This is a pretty
   flimsy connection, but on later models when you get more experienced at it
   then you can solder away at it and form the whole device into one big box,
   with some kind of cheap Mattel hand-held game inside to be the power con-
   nector.
 
    In order to use it, just keep this box handy.  Plug it into the jack if
you want, but it will slightly lower the voltage so it isn't connected.  When
you plug it in, if you see sparks, unplug it and restart the WHOLE thing.  But
if it just seems fine then leave it.

 USING IT !!
 
    Now, so you have the whole thing plugged in and all... DO NOT USE THIS UN-
LESS THE SITUATION IS DESPERATE!  When the trace has gone on, don't panic, un-
plug your phone, and turn on the appliance that it was hooked to.  It will
need energy to turn itself on, and here's a great source... the voltage to
keep a phone line open is pretty small and a simple light bulb should drain it
all in and probably short the F.B.I. computer at the same time.
 
 Happy boxing and stay free!

 ___| INTRODUCTION |___  
    | ____________ |   
        
    Have you ever wanted a lineman's handset?  Surely every phreak has at
least once considered the phun that he could have with one.  After searching
unlocked fone company trucks for months, we had an idea.  We could build one.
We did, and named it the "Beige Box," simply because that is the color of
ours.  In the following file, we will give complete instructions for the con-
struction and use of a Beige Box.
 
 ___| CONSTRUCTION |___  
    | ____________ |   
 
    The construction is very simple.  First, you must understand the concept
of the device.  In a modular jack, there are four wires.  These are red,
green, yellow, and black.  For a single line telefone, however, only two
matter: the red (ring) add green (tip).  The yellow and black are not neces-
sary for this project.  A lineman's handset only has two clips on it: the ring
and the tip.

    You will need a fone (we recommend a touch-tone) with a modular plug, a
modular jack, and two large alligator clips (preferably red and green, respec-
tively).  Take the modular jack and look at the bottom of its casing.  There
should be a gray jack with four wires (red, green, yellow, and black) leading
out of it.  To the end of the red wire attach a red alligator clip.  To the
end of the green wire attach a green alligator clip.  The yellow and black
wires can be removed, although I would only set them aside so that you can use
the modular jack in future projects.  Now insert your telefone's modular plug
into the modular jack.  That's it.

    This particular model is nice because it can be inexpensive, uses common
parts that are readily available, is small, is lightweight, and does not re-
quire the destruction of a fone.

                   ___| USES |___  
                      | ____ |   

    There are many uses for the Beige Box.  However, before you can use it,
you must know how to attach it to its output device.  This device can be any
of several Bell switching apparatus that include terminal sets (i.e., remote
switching centers, bridging heads, cans, etc.)  To open most Bell Telefone
switching apparatus, you must have a 7/16 inch hex driver.  This piece of
equipment can be picked up at your local hardware store.  With your 7/16 hex
driver, turn the security bolt(s) approximately 1/8 of an inch counter-clock-
wise and open.  If your output device is locked, then you must have some
knowledge of destroying and/or picking locks.  However, we have never encoun-
tered a locked output device.  Once you have opened your output device, you
should see a mass of wires connected to terminals.  On most of your output
devices, the terminals should be labeled "T" (Tip -- if not labeled, it is
usually on the left) and "R" (Ring -- if not labeled, it is usually on the
right).  Remember: Ring - red -  right.  The "Three R's" -- a simple way to
remember which is which.

    Now you must attach the red alligator clip (ring) to the "R" (ring) termi-
nal.  Attach the green alligator clip (tip) to the "T" (tip) terminal.

 NOTE: If instead of a dial tone you hear nothing, re-adjust the alligator
       clips so that they are not touching each other or other terminals.
       Also make sure that they are firmly attached.  By this time you should
       hear a dial tone.  Dial ANI and find out the number that you are using
       (you wouldn't want to use your own).

    Here are some practical applications:
              o  Eavesdropping
              o  Long distance, static-free fone calls to phriends
              o  Dialing direct to Alliance Conferencing (also static free)
              o  Phucking people over
              o  Bothering the operator at little risk to yourself
              o  Blue Boxing with a greatly reduced chance of getting caught
              o  Anything at all that you want, since you are an extension on
                 that line

 Eavesdropping:

    To be most effective, first attach the Beige Box and then your fone.
This eliminates static caused by connecting the Box, therefore reducing the
potential suspicion of your victim.  When eavesdropping, it is always best to
be neither seen nor heard.  If you hear someone dialing out, do not panic; but
rather hang up, wait, and pick up the receiver again.  The person will either
have hung up or tried to complete their call again.  If the latter is true,
then listen in, and perhaps you will find information worthy of blackmail!  If
you would like to know who you are listening to, after dialing ANI, pull a
CN/A on the number.

 Dialing Long Distance:

    This section is self-explanatory, but don't forget to dial a "1" before
the NPA.

 Dialing Direct to Alliance Conferencing:

    Simply dial 1-700-456-1000 and you will get instructions from there.  I
prefer this method over PBXs, since PBXs often have poor reception and are
more difficult to come by.

 Phucking People Over:

    This is a very large topic for discussion.  Just by using the other
functions described, you can create a large fone bill for the person (they
will not have to pay it, but it is a hassle for them).  In addition, since you
are an extension of the person's line, leave your fone off hook, and they
will not be able to make or receive calls.  This can be extremely nasty be-
cause no one would suspect the cause of the problem.

 Bothering the Operator:

    This is also self-explanatory and can provide hours of entertainment.
Simply ask or say things to her that are offensive and you would not like
traced to your line.  This also corresponds with the previous described
section, Phucking People Over.  After all, guess who's line it gets traced to?
He he he...

 Blue Boxing:

    See a file on Blue Boxing for more details.  This is an especially nice
feature if you live in an ESS-equipped prefix, since the calls are, once
again, not traced to your line.

 ___| POTENTIAL RISKS OF BEIGE BOXING |___  
    | _______________________________ |   

    Overuse of the Beige Box may cause suspicions within the Gestapo, and
result in legal problems.  Therefore, I would recommend that you:
              o  Use more than one output device
              o  Choose a secluded spot to do your Beige Boxing
              o  Keep a low profile (i.e., do not post under your real name
                 on a public BBS concerning your accomplishments)
              o  In order to make sure that the enemy has not been inside your
                 output device, I recommend that you place a piece of trans-
                 parent tape over the opening of your output device.  There-
                 fore, if it is opened in your absence, the tape will be dis-
                 placed and you will be aware of the fact that someone has
                 been intruding upon your territory.

 To all who dare --

    What is a BLACK BOX?  A BLACK BOX is a device that is hooked up to your
fone that fixes your fone so that when you get a call, the caller doesn't get
charged for the call.  This is good for calls up to 1/2 hour, after 1/2 hour
the Fone Co. gets suspicious, and then you can guess what happens.

 The way it works:

    What this little beauty does is keep the line voltage from dropping to 10v
when you answer your fone.  The line is instead kept at 36v and it will make
the fone think that it is still ringing while your talking.  The reason for
the 1/2 hour time limit is that the Fone CO. thinks that something is wrong
after 1/2 an hour of ringing.

    All parts are available at Radio Shack.  Using the least possible parts
and arrangement, the cost is $.98.  And that is parts for two of them!  Talk
about a deal!  If you want to splurge then you can get a small PC board, and
a switch.  There are two schematics for this box, one is for most normal
fones.  The second one is for fones that don't work with the first.  It was
made for use with a Bell Trimline touch tone fone.

        **  Schematic 1 for most fones  **
        **        LED ON = BOX ON       **

You may just have two wires which you connect together for the switch.

easy to hook up.

*** These last few lines were inserted by hypothesis! --- The Director ***

    Once you have hooked up all the parts, you must figure out what set of
wires go to the line and which go to the fone.  This is because of the fact
that LED's must be put in, in a certain direction.  Depending on which way
you put the LED is what controls what wires are for the line & fone.

 How to find out:

    Hook up the box in one direction using one set of wires for line and the
other for fone.

 *NOTE*  For Model I switch should be OFF.
 *NOTE*  For Model ][ switch  should be set to side connecting the LED.

    Once you have hooked it up, then pick up the fone and see if the LED is
on.  If it is, the LED will be lit.  If is doesn't light then switch the wires
and try again.  Once you know which are which then label them.

 *NOTE*  - If neither directions worked then your switch was in the wrong
           position.  Now label the switch in its current position as BOX ON.

 How to use it:

    The purpose of this box is not to people who call you so it would make
since that it can only be used to receive calls.  When the box is *ON* then
you may only receive calls.  Your fone will ring like normal and the LED on
the box will flash.  If you answer the fone now, then the LED will light and
the caller will not be charged.  Hang up the fone after you are done talking
like normal.  You will not be able to get a dial-tone or call when the box is
on, so turn the box  *OFF*  for normal calls.  I don't recommend that you
leave it on all the time, as you don't want it to answer when Ma Bell calls!

        | HOW TO BUILD A BLOTTO BOX |
        |                           |
         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finally, it is here!  What was first conceived as a joke to fool the innocent
phreakers around America has finally been conceived by the one phreak who is
the expert on lines and voltage: The Traveler.  Other Boxes by the Traveler
include the White Gold Box, the Aqua Box, The Diverti Box, and the Cold Box.
All of those plans will soon be available in a BBS/AE near you!
    Well, for you people who are unenlightened about the Blotto Box, here is a
brief summary of a legend.


         ~~~~` THE BLOTTO BOX '~~~~

    For years now every pirate has dreamed of the Blotto Box.  It was at first
made as a joke to mock more ignorant people into thinking that the function
of it actually was possible.  Well, if you are The Voltage Master, it is
possible.  Originally conceived by King Blotto of much fame, the Blotto Box is
finally available to the public.

 NOTE: The Traveler can not be responsible for the information disclosed in
       the file!  This file is strictly for informational purposes and should
       not be actually built and used!  Usage of this electrical impulse ma-
       chine could have the severe results listed below and could result in
       high federal prosecution!  Again, The Traveler TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY!

    All right, now that that is cleared up, here is the basis of the Box and
its function.
    The Blotto Box is every phreaks dream... you could hold AT&T down on its
knees with this device.  Because, quite simply, it can turn off the fone
lines everywhere.  Nothing.  Blotto.  No calls will be allowed out of an area
code, and no calls will be allowed in.  No calls can be made inside it for
that matter.  As long as the switching system stays the same, this Box will
not stop at a mere area code.  It will stop at nothing.  The electrical im-
pulses that emit from this Box will open every line.  Every line will ring and
ring and ring... the voltage will never be cut off until the Box/generator is
stopped.  This is no 200 volt job, here.  We are talking GENERATOR.  Every
fone line will continue to ring, and people close to the Box may be electro-
cuted if they pick up the fone.
    But, the Blotto Box can be stopped by merely cutting of the line or gener-
ator.  If they are cut off then nothing will emit any longer.  It will take a
while for the Box to calm back down again, but that is merely a superficial
aftereffect.  Once again: Construction and use of this Box is not advised!
The Blotto Box will continue as long as there is electricity to continue with.
    OK, that is what it does, now, here are some interesting things for you to
do with it...

           __________|        THE BLOTTO BOX        |__________
                     |  FUNCTIONS AND INSTALLATION  |

    Once you have installed your Blotto, there is no turning back.  The fol-
lowing are the instructions for construction and use of this Box.  Please
read and heed all warnings in the above section before you attempt to con-
struct this Box.

 MATERIALS:

     >-:->>  A Honda portable generator or a main power outlet like in a
               stadium or some such place.

   >-:->>    A Radio Shack cord set for 400 volts that splices a female plug
               into a fone line jack.

     >-:->>  A voltage meter to attach to the Box itself.

   >-:->>    A green base (i.e. one of the nice boxes about 3' by 4' that you
               see around in your neighborhood.) They are the main switch
               boards and would be a more effective line to start with.  OR:
               A regular fone jack (not your own, and not in your area code!)

     >-:->>  A soldering iron and much solder.

   >-:->>    A remote control or long wooden pole.

    Now, you must have guessed the construction from that.  If not, here goes,
I will explain in detail.  Take the Honda Portable Generator and all of the
other listed equipment and go out and hunt for a green base.  Make sure it is
one on the ground or hanging at head level from a pole, not the huge ones at
the top of telefone poles.  Open it up with anything convenient, if you are
two feeble than fuck don't try this.  Take a look inside... you are hunting
for color-coordinating lines of green and red.  Now, take out your Radio Shack
cord and rip the meter thing off.  Replace it with the voltage meter about.  A
good level to set the voltage to is about 1000 volts.  Now, attach the voltage
meter to the cord and set the limit for one thousand.  Plug the other end of
the cord into the generator.  Take the fone jack and splice the jack part
off.  Open it up and match the red and green wires with the other red and
green wires.

 NOTE: If you just had the generator on and have done this in the correct
       order, you will be a crispy critter.  Keep the generator off until you
       plan to start it up.  Now, solder those lines together carefully.  Wrap
       duct tape or insulation tape around all of the wires.  Now, place the
       remote control right on to the start-up of the generator.  If you have
       the long pole, make sure it is very long and stand back as far away as
       you can get and reach the pole over.

 NOTICE: If you are going right along with this without reading the file
         first, you still realize now that your area code is about to become
         null!  Then, getting back, switch the pole/remote control and run for
         your damn life.  Anywhere, just get away from it.  It will be genera-
         ting so much electricity that if you stand to close you will kill
         yourself.  The generator will smoke, etc. but will not stop.  You are
         now killing your area code, because all of that energy is spreading
         through all of the fone lines around you in every direction.

 Have a nice day!


               --*-=> The Blotto Box: Aftermath <=-*--

      Well, that is the plans for the most devastating and ultimately deadly
Box ever created. My hat goes off to: King Blotto (for the original idea),
Captain Xerox (for the suggestion about stadiums), and Modern ___ (for
the fact I was on his BBS when I thought of it.

 (((> Introduction <)))

    This is a fairly simple modification that can be made to any phone.   All
it does is allow you to take any 2 lines in your house and create a party
line.  So far I have not heard of any problems with it from my friends that
have set one up and I have not had any either.  There is one thing that you
will notice when you are one of the two people who is called by a person with
this box.  The other person will sound a little bit faint.  I could overcome
this with some amplifiers but then there wouldn't be very many of these boxes
made.  I think that the convenience of having two people on line at any one
time will make up for the minor volume loss.

This Box is quite similar to a Beige Box, except this is a portable unit.  It
is extremely handy for free voice calls and tapping a nearby house's line.
It's really easy to make so don't worry about it (unlike a Blue Box!).

 MATERIALS:     >-:->>  Two alligator clips
 __________    >-:->>   One-piece fone or normal fone (one piece is easier!)
                >-:->>  Soldering iron and some solder
               >-:->>   Some good wire

 PROCEDURE:
 __________


[1>  Cut the wire that connects the fone to the wall.  Inside there should be 
    4 colored wires.  Yellow, red, green, and black.  If the wires are not
    colored, no need to get worried.  The two in the middle are red & green.
    Those are the 2 you need.

[2>  Make sure to keep about 1-2 feet of this wire connected to the fone unless
    you want to use the other wire listed above.  Now solder one alligator
    clip to the green wire, and one the red.

[3>  If you're using the other wire, strip the ends and solder one end to of
    each to the red and green on the fone, and one end to an alligator clip.

[4>  Go to a nearby house and locate the little gray box.  It's simple to
    find, look by the gas meter.  It should have the BELL logo on it.

[5>  To open this thing, put your hand underneath it and hit upward.  You
    should get contact with the bottom edge of it.

[6>  Now it should come open nice and easy.  Look inside and you will see five
    screws in this pattern:

                *     *
                      
                   *
   
                *     *

[7>  The screw in the middle and the two on the left do nothing.  (Actually,
    you may want to check the two on the left, as some people have a second
    line hooked up to these two).  All you need to worry about are the two on 
    the right.  The one in the top right-hand corner is usually the green, and
    the one in the bottom right-hand corner is usually the red.

[8>  Clip an alligator clip to the corresponding terminals (red to red, green
    to green.)  You should get a dial tone.  If you don't, switch the alligator
    clips around.  If you still don't get a dial tone (or someone's 
    conversation!) then the line has probably been disconnected or the fone is
    off the hook.


 IDEAS OF USE FOR THE BUD BOX
 ____________________________


   Get a lot of wire and run it into your house.  Then you'll be an extension
   of that line.  The fone will ring and you can listen to everything that's
   going on the that line.

   You can call direct to any place using normal BELL service (gasp!). i.e.:
   1-702-831-4263.  The bill will be not be charged to you.  It will be charged
   to your neighbors (or whoever.)

    A Cheese Box (named for the type of Box the first one was found in) is a
type of Box which will, in effect, make your telephone a Pay-Phone.....This is
a simple, modernized, and easy way of doing it....

Inside Info: These were first used by bookies many years ago as a way of making
calls to people without being called by the cops or having their numbers traced
and/or tapped......

 How To Make A Modern Cheese Box

 MATERIALS:  >-:->>   Call Forwarding service on the line
              >-:->>  Set of Red Box Tones
             >-:->>   The number to your prefix's Intercept operator (do some 
                      scanning for this one)

 PROCEDURE

    After you find the number to the intercept operator in your prefix, use
your call-forwarding and forward all calls to her... this will make your phone
stay off the hook (actually, now it waits for a quarter to be dropped in)...
you now have a Cheese Box... In order to call out on this line: you must use
your Red Box tones and generate the quarter dropping in...then, you can make
phone calls to people...as far as I know, this is fairly safe, and they do not
check much...

/ CLEAR BOX                 /
\__________________________/

    The idea for the Clear box comes from an article in the newsletter 2600.

    The clear box works on 'post pay' coin phones, pay phones that require
money only after the connection has been made.  The way this works is: After
the connection is made the mouthpiece of the phone is muted but not the ear-
piece, free calls to dial-it services can be made with these phones.

    In order to talk to the person you called without paying (NOTE: It is
against the law to do this!!)  Take yourself down to your nearby electronics
store and get a four transistor amplifier and a telephone suction cup induct-
ive pick-up.  Put the pick-up on the earpiece and plug it into the output of
the amplifier, and plug a microphone into the input.  You then talk into your
microphone and listen normally through the earpiece.

    Radio Shack sells an item that won't need much modification, and that
should work the same as the above construction.  It is their 'Portable snap-on
handset amplifier' (Part # 43-238)  Their description says to put it on the
earpiece and it will boost the caller's voice to five times the normal level.
In order to make this function like a clear box one would have to take the
amplifier apart and remove the internal speaker, in its place, connect the
suction cup inductive pick-up.  Place the pick-up (which is now the speaker)
to the mouth piece of the payphone, and talk into the microphone of the ampli-
fier.
    The line will not cut off, and will wait forever for you to put the coins
in.
    Note also that these types of payphones are not connected to the tsps in
the same way as normal payphones.  The phone does all the charging and not the
Central Office.  It is because of this, that a phone connected to the lines
BEFORE the payphone would act just like a normal phone.  So get out your
smallest phone, cut off the jack and strip the wires.  Connect the wires to
two alligator clips.  Then you can clip onto the payphone's wires BEFORE they
connect to the payphone, you then have a normal telephone line that you don't
pay the bills on!

    The Crimson Box is very simple device that will allow you to put someone
on hold or make your fone busy with a large amount of ease.  You flip a switch
and the person can't hear you talking.  Flip it back and everything is peachy.

              >-:->>  3 feet of good wire

 CONSTRUCTION & SCHEMATIC

    First I will give you the schematic and then I will explain what the hell
is going on.

-----------black wire on line---------
--------+   red wire on line   +------
--------:--+/\/\/-green wire---:------
--------:--:-yellow wire-------:------
        :  :                   :

           +----+ : +----------+
                : : :
                1 2 3

    Ok. The '/\/\/' is the resistor.  And '1 2 3' is the switch where the
numbers are the poles on the switch.  Notice you leave the black and yellow
wires alone.  You DO NOT cut them!

    Strip the red and green wires so you've got about an inch of bare wire.
Solder some of the extra wire and follow the schematic.  You should have the
resistor on the green wire with an extra piece of wire coming from one leg of
it.  The other leg goes to the other end of the green wire.  You should solder
the green wire to the left pole of the switch and the red to the middle and
the other end of the red to the right pole.

    Now, lift up the fone.  If all you get is an annoying buzz then throw the
switch and you should get a dial tone.  If not, don't worry and just follow
the instructions and schematic again.

                                 Resistor

    The 1.4k resistor is variable and if the second part of of the box is
skipped the box will still work but if someone picks up the fone they may
report it to the Phone Co.  The 1.4k will give you good reception with little
risk of the Gestapo knocking at your door.

    Take two green wires and strip the ends.  Twist one end of each together
so they make one wire.  Connect it to Green #1.  Label this 'Line #1'.  Do the
same but with red wire and attach it to Red #1.  Repeat the process for Red #2
and Green #2 and label it 'Line #2'.

 INSTALLATION

    Find two fone lines that are close together.  Label one of them 'Line #1'.
Cut the phone lines and take off the outer covering.  You'll see 4 colored
wires inside.  Cut the yellow and black wire off and strip the red and green
wires on both lines.
    Line #1 should be in two pieces.  Take the green wire of one end and con-
nect to one of the green wires on the box.  Take the other half of the fone
line green wire and connect it to the other green wires on the gold box.  Do
the same for the red wires on the other line and the red wires on the box.
    Now, find out what number you hooked up the gold box to.  Go home and call
it.  You should get a dial tone and you can dial out.  If not, re-check every-
thing.  If it still doesn't work, pack up and go home.

[10] Tfiles: (1-17,?,Q) : 

FILE: D2:JACKBOX
 
MA BELL IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH STANDARDS! JUST ABOUT EVERY MANUFACTURER OF
IC'S THAT GENERATE TOUCH TONES HAS ALSO GONE BY THE 16 KEY (8 TONE) STANDARD
FOR TOUCH TONE PADS. AND IT IS EVEN EASIER TO CONVERT A TONE PAD THAT USES AN
INTEGRATED CIRCUIT TO GENERATE THE TONES THAN CONVERTING A MA BELL PAD!
 
IT WILL HELP IMMENSELY IF YOU HAVE THE SCHEMATIC FOR THE PAD IN QUESTION, OR
AT LEAST THE PIN-OUT DIAGRAM OF THE CHIP BEING USED. PIN-OUTS CAN USUALLY BE
OBTAINED FROM THE MANUFACTURER OR FROM AN ECG, SK, GE OR SIMILIAR
SEMICONDUCTER HANDBOOK (PROVIDED THAT MANUFACTURER MAKES AN EQUIVALENT FOR
THE CHIP IN YOUR PAD). I'LL USE THE RADIO SHACK CEX-4000 TONE PAD MODULE FOR
AN EXAMPLE, EVEN THOUGH IT IS PROBABLY ALMOST THE LOUSIEST ONE YOU CAN BUY,
IT IS FAIRLY TYPICAL ASILY AVAILABLE.
 
TAKE A LOOK AT THE DIAGRAM OR THE PIN-OUT OF THE CHIP. YOU SHOULD SEE TWO
GROUPS OF PINS, THE ROWS TONE PINS AND THE COLUMN TONE PINS. THESE WILL BE
MARKED AS R1,R2,R3,R4 AND C1,C2,C3 (RADIO SHACK) OR OR X1,X2,X3 AND Y1,Y2,Y3
ETC. ON OTHERS. AT ANY RATEU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DISTINGUISH WHICH THREE
PINS CONTROL THE COLUMNS AND WHICH FOUR CONTROL THE ROWS. IF YOU'RE LUCKY,
EACH GROUP OF ROWS AND COLUMNS WILL BE CONTIGUOUS. NOW LOOK AT THE COLUMN
PINS, AND YOU'LL PROBABLY SEE AN EMPTY PIN RIGHT NEXT TO THEM. THIS IS THE
COLUMN PIN FTHE 1633 HZ TONES. THESE CHIPS USUALLY ACHIEVE THEIR SWITCHING BY
CONNECTING A ROW PIN WITH A COLUMN PIN (THAT WAY TQAN USE A0VERY SIMPLE
KEYBOARD PAD, UNLIKE MA BELL'S COMPLICATED ONE). SO ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TAKE
A SPDT SWITCH AND A FEW PIECES OF WIRE, CUT THE TRACE GOING TO THE COLUMN 3
PIN OF THE CHIP, ATTACH A WIRE FROM THE CHIP SIDEOF THAT CUT TO ONE END OF THE
SPDT SWITCH, A WIRE FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CUT TO THE CENTER OF THE SPDT
SWITCH, AND FINALLY, FROM THE REMAINING CONTACT ON THE SPDT SWITCH, HOOK A
WIRE TO THE PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED PIN C4 (COLUMN 4). NOW YOU HAVE A "BANK
SWITCHING ARRANGEMENT EXACTLY LIKE THE ONE DESCRIBED IN THE PREVIOUS BULLETIN
FOR MODIFYING A MA BELL PAD.
 
IF YOU CAN'T GET THE SCHEMATICS OR THE PIN OUTS FOR YOUR CHIP, DON'T DESPAIR.
THERE IS STILL HOPE FOR YOU! YOU JUST HAVE TO TRACK THE CONNECTIONS GOING FROM
THE PAD'S KEYS TO THE CHIP. CHANCES ARE YOU'LL FIND THAT EACH ROW HAS A COMMON
TRACE, AND SO DOES EACH COLUMN (FOR THOSE NON-TECHNICAL FOLKS, A TRACE IS A
CONNECTION ETCHED OUT ON A CIRCUIT BOARD). JUST FOLLOW THESE TO THE CHIP, AND
MAKE YOUR OWN SCHEMATIC UP. NOW TAKE A LOOK FOR THAT EXTRA PIN--THERE SHOULD
BE ONE FLOATING AROUND RIGHT NEXT TO THE COLUMN PINS. IT WILL BE NOT BE HOOKED
UP TO ANYTHING ELSE, THAT IS, "HANGING FREE". DRILL A HOLE IN THE SIDE OF
TONEPAD'S CASE, AND MOUNT YOUR SWITCH. RADIO SHACK SELLS A NICE MICROMINIATURE
SWITCH THAT WORKS EXCELLENTLY! (ALMOST THE ONLY GOOD THING I CAN SAY ABOUT
RADIO SHACK IN THIS ARTICLE)

      HOW TO BUILD AND USE A MAGENTA BOX.

      Designed and Written by Street Fighter.

First of all I named this the Magenta Box because all of the
fags that made boxes, whose only purpose is adding a hold
button to your phone, used all of the fucking colors.  I can
afford a fucking piece of shit Radio Shack 2-line phone with
hold.  A box's purpose is to fuck with the Telco., not to add
a fucking hold button to your phone.  Anyway I will get on with
this.

PARTS LIST:
             SPDT Miniature PC RELAY (about 9v, 500 ohm)
             DPDT Miniature PC RELAY (about 6v, 500 ohms, 12 mA)
             2000 or so uF electrolytic capacitor
             1 meg resistor
             .01 uF capacitor
             555 timer chip
             2 diodes (1N914)
             10 K resistor
             1 K resistor
             9 volt battery -w- clip
             Pc Board
             4 alligator clips
             some kind of a box (small)
             some 20 or 22 gauge wire to work with.

If you don't know how to put together a project by looking at a
schematic, then isn't the project to start with.  I would ask someone
with some electronics knowledge to give you a helping hand.  This
has to be put together on a pc-board.  Enough talk, now the schematic:

Whew!  Well, the schematic explains almost everything.  It would be
helpful to you if you used one color for the line #1 clips and another
for the line #2 clips.  It will work even if you get the ring and tip
mixed up, but you must get all of the clips on the right line.  But,
to be safe, you could put tags on each clip labeling it RING #1, TIP #2,
ect.

Installation.  Find one of those green posts that are about 3 feet high.
They are everywhere.  Get a socket wrench to open it up.  There will
be (a) row(s) of paired up posts.  Each pair of posts represents a line.
YOU *MUST* KNOW THE NUMBER OF LINE #1.  Sometimes the number is tagged
on to the pair of wires leading up to the posts, if so pick these posts
as your line #1.  Then you can pick any other set of posts for line #2.

Now to the good part.  Use of the the final product.  When you call up
line one from your house you will get a dial tone almost immediately.
Using DTMF you can dial anywhere that the person who owns line 2 has
service to.  Which means you can direct dial alliance, Australia, and
your favorite BBS for FREE.

The Telco. will undoubtably discover the device after 2 days, so post
the number on your favorite boards so you can abuse it while it is in
service.  With a 2000 uF capacitor and a 1 meg resistor you will
get a 50 minute call before it disconnects you.  By lowering the value
of the resistor and capacitor you can change the time to your taste.
So don't dial a wrong number, because you will have to wait 50 minutes
until it resets again.  The formula for the time is the following:

2*R1    C1              C1 is in microfarads
---- * ----             R1 is in Kohms
100     10              See schematic for location of R1 and C1.
-----------  = Minutes
    60

The time produced by this formula is only approximate.

Well, that is one of the more complicated boxes to build.  But it
is very useful and will pay for itself with its first use.   It
would be wise to remove it before the Telco. finds it so you won't
have to make another, or install it on a line that belongs to a
family that is on vacation (GOOD IDEA)

Well, there it is.  I hope it saves you a lot of cash.


I, Street Fighter, designed this box for the sole purpose of fucking over
Ma Bell.  It is not for imformational purposes, but to be used to cost the
TelCo. thousands of dollars.

   If you wish to have one built for you.  Leave me E-mail on the Iron Curtain
or the CornerStone or any other board I frequent.  It won't be more than $15,
hopefully it will only be about $8.

    The Pearl Box: Definition - This is a box that may substitute for many
boxes which produce tones in hertz.  The Pearl Box when operated correctly can
produce tones from 1-9999hz.  As you can see, 2600, 1633, 1336 and other cru-
cial tones are obviously in its sound spectrum.

 PROCEDURE

    Since the instruction are EXTREMELY difficult to explain in words, you
will be given a schematic instead.  It will be quite difficult to follow but
try it any way.  There is also a Hi-Res picture you can get that shows the
schematic in great detail.

    Now that you are probably thoroughly confused, let me explain a few minor
details.  The potentiometer area is rigged so that the left pole is connected
to the center pole of the potentiometer next to it.  The middle terminal of T1
is connected to the piece of wire that runs down to the end of the battery.

 OPERATION OF THE PEARL BOX

    You may want to get some dry-transfer decals at Radio Shack to make this
job a lot easier.  Also, some knobs for the tops of the potentiometers may be
useful too.  Use the decals to calibrate the knobs.  R1 is the knob for the
ones place, R2 is for the tens place, R3 if for the hundreds place and R4 is
for the thousands place.  S1 is for producing the all the tones and S2 is for
power. 

Step 1: Turn on the power and adjust the knobs for the desired tone.
        (Example: For 2600 hz - R1 = 0: R2 = 0: R3 = 6: R4 = 2)
Step 2: Hit the push-button switch and VOILA!  You have the tone.  If you
        don't have a tone recheck all connections and schematic.  If you still
        don't have a tone call:  Brainstorm BBS   (612) 345-2815
                                 The Bay          (415) 775-2384 
                                 Pirate's Harbor  (617) 720-3600
        and leave me e-mail stating what the scene is.

  Okay.  First, the basics, for the people who don't know what Red Box tones
  are.  A Red Box is a device that generates Quarter, Dime and Nickle tones,
  so the operator thinks that coins have been dropped in the slots.  For a 
  Quarter there are 5 beeps that are outpulsed at 12-17 pulses, for the dime 
  there are 2 beeps that are outpulsed at 5-8.5 PPS and for a nickle one beep 
  outpulsed the same as a dime.  Now each beep consists of 2 tones which are 
  2200hz and 1700hz.  Below is a way to get these tones without having to
  actually build a Red Box.

                              _______________________

  Now go down to the fortress fones.  Do it at night, as it's not advisable 
  to do in the day-time when people can see you.

  Look for two fortress fone booths connected together.  This will make the
  job a lot easier if you are alone.  Now, connect the telefone pickup to the 
  receiver of the handset of one of the telefones.  (And don't forget to 
  connect it to your cassette recorder).  You might have to tape the telefone 
  pick-up to the receiver.
 
  Now put the fone on hook and go to the neighbouring fone booth.  From here 
  make a telefone call to the first booth.  

                  // ------------------------------------- \\
                 <<    NOW FROM HERE ON IS THE HARD PART    >>

 Press a Key                    
  Leave your handset hanging and quickly go to the other fone booth where the
  telefone pickup is hooked up.  Press the recording button.  Then pick up the
  handset and LEAVE IT OFF HOOK (remember the recording is still going on).
  Now go to the second telefone booth where you made the call, drop a couple of
  quarters, dimes and nickles.

  You are done!!!!!!!  When you play back the cassette you will hear the tones
  of the coins you put in.

  This procedures may also work from home, whereby you'll have the telefone 
  pick-up connected at home, and someone calls you and drops in the coins.

"YELLOW BOX PLANS"  By CAPTAIN HOOK  On Feb  3, 1986  5:47

Now to begin with you need the following:

1) A telephone line showing up in the wall.  You can find the opening
   behind all thorg round plates AT&T puts in when they disconnect
   or begin to put a phone in.

2) 1 Modular jack

3) 1 Screwdriver

4) 1 Human being who knows what the hell their doing!!!!(in other words an 
   IQ of 3 or so will do)

PREPARATION:

1) Open the plate to expose the wire running through the wall or you can 
   remove an old jack to find the wire.  (Note: it must be a complete 
   wire not an end as is used for the setup of a normal phone)

2) Cut the wire in half.  Now check your other phones (Note: I had 2 other
 Press a Key                       phones so one works the other won't)

3) Now splice up the 2 ends of the wire you just cut.  You will find
   4 or 6 color coded wires on each end.

4) Splice up each smaller wire so as the metal is exposed.

5) Next now this is the hard part look at the jack at match the colors
   (Note:if you can't do this: a) get a very sharp razor blade b) now put 
   to the wrists and slice that. c) wait about an hour and your dead
   KINDA FINAL ISNT IT!!!!!

6) Each screw will now have 2 of each color wire on it.

7) Plug in the phone.

 HOW TO BUILD A SILVER BOX

 MATERIALS :  Soldering iron and solder
              22 ga. wire
              SPDT switch
              screwdriver

 PROCEDURE

1) Unscrew your phone (must be a touch tone, desk type)

2) Remove the mounted pad and take the clear plastic cover from the bottom.

3) Hold the pad with the numbers 0, *, # facing you, and turn it upside down,
   so you can see the yellow pc board.

4) You should see 2 black round doughnuts.

5) Position the board so the solder points for the left doughnut face you.

6) Count over four points from the left, and attach a (green) wire to that
   point.
 Press a Key                    
7) Between you and the doughnuts, there should be 2 long yellow capacitors.
   To the right of these, and on the edge of the board there should be 3 gold
   contacts.  We will use the one on the left.

8) The contact originally is spot welded, so snip it open.

9) To the one nearest you, attach a (red) wire; to the other one, a (yellow)
   wire.

10) Run the wires out of the phone, and solder the switch.

11) The orientation should be (red) to center.  The switch will now alternate
    between normal and 1633hz fourth column tones.

Now at last, Underground_Elite brings you these ultrasophisticated box plans
for, well, uh, I guess we just kind of bring them for you. After many months
of keeping this puppy secret, we here at Underground_Elite have finally come
to the consensus that the public oughtn't be kept in the dark from the wrath
of Ma Bell, that great telephone company in the sky.
 
The Urine Box (tm) basically creates a capacitative disturbance between the
ring and tip wires in another's telephone headset. I have utilized this to the
distinct advantage of the operator of the Urine box and to the disadvantage
of the other party involved, hopefully you won't get caught.
 
Without further ado, wire this schematic together. Copper wire (or gold)
will work best due to its lessened resistance. It might be a good idea to
keep the wiring cooled, to further reduce current loss.

note1 - VR1 is a three position variable resistor, enabling settings
equivalent to 100k ohms, 210k ohms, and 320k ohms (all 110k apart).
 
note2 - The diodes are silicon-germanium based bipolar RF reducers to limit
current polarity reversal. If these are placed backwards the box will not
work as intended.
 
note3 - The speaker will emit low tones when the SPST is closed (ie the box
is "ON") and when the settings of VR1 are moved to higher resistance the tone
level will increase.
 
note4 - Place setting evaluation symbols to represet the lowest resistance
 Press a Key                    setting for VR1 to be "STEAM", the second (210) to be "MELT", the third (320)
to be "VAPORIZE". 
 

Usage of box.
 
Use in place of your normal telephone receiver. Do not attempt usage as a
regular phone. Call victim by sending tones through speaker with tape recorded
noise. Use touch tone sounds as pulse requires electric disruption of line,
not just audio. After answer (listen in on SPKR 1) set VR1 to desired strength
and let her go. Victim will feel unpleasant sensations in his/her head and
will undergo a series of high intensity seizures, not unlike epilepsy, and
jointly proportional to VR-1 setting and time induced.
 

Settings. (The Fun Part)
 
STEAM. A short -poof- of water vapor condenses within the victim's earpiece,
       rendering the telephone short circuited and the victim quite dazed.
MELT.  Causes structural phase change of receiver (usually reinforced
       ureaformaldehyde plastic material - high tech). This has the unpleasant
       bonus of removing the victim's hand.
VAPORIZE. If the victim is particularly nasty, this setting will remove his
       upper anatomy (if box is enabled properly, that is!).  Continued usage
 Press a Key                           of this setting is generally not recommended, as death or other serious
       injury will accompany.
 
Disclaimer.
 
Yes, I will refuse to take responsibility for your incompetence in electrical
doings. This includes my reluctance to give court testimony, etc. etc.
