A wide range of subjects will be discussed in detail. So don't miss any... We'll start with some basic shit on Telco. (short for Telefone Co.) Since alot of files will be on hack/phreak topics, we must first have a basic understanding of how MaBell operates. Start by making a few observations. Pick up the reciever of your telefone. You hear a dial tone. it's telling you the CO (Central Office) is ready to process your call. Hit a number from your touchtone keypad. You hear a tone, right? WRONG... You hear two tones, being blasted at exactly the same time. Each digit in a touchtone fone is a mix of two different tones. One from a group of high tones, the other from the low group. Thus giving touchtone the name DTMF, (Dual Tone Multi Frequency). So from now on, DTMF simply means touchtone. Here's a chart of each digit: (Low Group) 697 Hz - 1 2 3 A 770 Hz - 4 5 6 B 852 Hz - 7 8 9 C 941 Hz - * 0 # D 1209 Hz 1336 Hz 1477 Hz 1633 Hz (High Group) Simply use the diagram to find each digit's Dual Tones. For ie. #2 is a combination of 697 Hz + 1336 Hz, etc. Don't worry about the A,B,C,D tones right now. Regualar fones don't have those on them. But you can modify them to produce em'. Thus giving you a Silver Box. But more on using ABCD tones and Silver Boxes in another file. This is just the basics, right now. O.K., look at your fone some more. There are 4 wires running out of it. Red (called the Ring), Green (called the Tip), Yellow, and Black. Only the Red, and Green wires are used, most of the times. Sometimes the Yellow might be used to ring party line fones. Or if two lines and Telco is feeling cheap that day, they'll use the red and green for one line and the yellow and black for another. But usually they are just ignored. O.K., while we're on the subject, lets talk more about the hardwiring used by MaBell. The local Network, the area between your house and the CO, where most of it happens. Thats the most important part of the telefone setup, it's where your calls get transferred, processed, and contains all the good places to beige Box from. From the CO (or local exchange) of a certain prefix (ES), underground trunks go to each area that has that prefix. And at every few streets the trunks or cables, whatever you want to call em', surface above ground. Then they go to the telefone pole and then to your house. it's all so simple. But such important needed information for a phreaker. Lets get more in depth. The underground cables. These go to bridging head boxes. (i'll explain in a minute what they are). The cables are 2-3 inches thick, and are either in metal or a PVC pipe. The cables travel by way of underground cement tunnels, that resemble storm drains. I'm sure you've seen em', those man hole covers that don't say sewer on them, instead they have that beautiful Bell Telefone symbol on em'. You can open these man hole covers with a 1/2 inch crowbar. Very long for good leverage. And more then just one person, they are Very heavy. Insert the crowbar in the top retangular hole, hook side. If you ever get one open, or find one out of the way enough to attempt it, go inside. There are metal rungs on the side. You'll see the trunks on the wall. The blue and white striped one usually being the inter-office trunk line. The others are the local lines. They are usually color coded, with a color code chart on the wall, compliments of MaBell. you can usually find Telco manuals laying around, and a few Test sets (very handy). So i'm not getting into details, but you can do a lot. If making free fone calls is all you want to do, then you shoulden't of went thru the trouble of getting down there. Use your imagination, you have the towns communications at your fingertips. Your in control. Bridging Head Boxes. These are where cables or trunks get spliced into different areas. Bridging Head boxes are those big green-grayish looking boxes you see hanging on poles or behind stores every once in a while. There aren't a real lot of them. But they're around. They are either 1 of two different kinds. They either splice the trunk lines, or they splice individual fone lines, for residency. The ones with the trunk lines are usually alot more bigger with the wester electric logo on the bottom, and they are alot more harder to find. To open one up, use a 7/16 deep socket wrench. Give the bolt about an 1/8 of a turn to the right, you'll hear a spring lever get released. They are very rarely ever locked with a pad lock, but you will come across a few with one on em'. All i can say is comprimise, use a hammer or put a crowbar in the top slot above the top hinge of the right door, and pull hard, it'll rip off. First thing to look for is test sets, rare but possible. You'll see a panel full of wires and terminals. Push the panel back about a 1/2 inch and rotate the top latch so you can let the panel fall forward. There is a large amount of wires and extra terminals. This is also where you might find test sets. On the right door is a box of alligator clips. On each door is a metal device. it'll say clamp genlty of sumthing like that. On the front, there will be two terminals, this is where your test set gets hooked up. Hook the Ring (red) to the R (-) terminal, and the Tip (+) wire to the other terminal. Behind the device is a coiled up wire with alligator clips on the end. use this to tap into each set of terminals. On the terminal board you'll see about 10 screw terminals per side. Follow each pair of wires to see which one's are active. Just hook one clip to the one terminal, and the other to the terminal it's mate went to. Dial out, or just listen in. "Cans" or telefone pole distribution boxes. Two types, either a large rectangular silver box at the end of each street on top of the last telefone pole. Or the black round or rectangular thnig on top of every telefone pole. Type one: the case that takes the underground cable from the bridging head box and runs it to the telefone pole cable (the largest, lowest cable on the telefone poles). The box is usually atop the poles with the 'Call before you Dig' signs on it. Type two: This is the splitter box for each house. It splits each seperate line from the main line, and runs it to your house. Usually 4 or 5 houses, however many there are around the telfone pole. The terminals inside are usually in a row of 2 sets, with 8 or so long. It's all the same principal of the Bridgger, just pair up each group. Use an ANI number if you want to find out what line your on. ANI (Automatic Number identification) numbers vary, depending on where you are. I have a few 1-800 ANI numbers, but it's better if you scan and find your own. When you dial ANI, it tells you the fone # your own. Multi-Line distribution boxes. Usually always found on the right side of a business or building. It has terminals for all the lines in the building. Use it just like any other terminal box. A few rows of terminals, with the middle usually being the ground, forget about that row. Then usually the Ring wire (-) is usually the top terminal, with the Tip below it. usually always one on top of the other to get a terminal pair, it's the only thing thats unlike the bridging head box. Last but not least, the Residence terminal Box. Found on regular houses. With only one to three lines. Usually on the right side of the house, or sumtimes in the basement. Small grey boxes that connect the cable pair from the splitter box. It seperates the individual fone lines that are gonna be used from inside your house. You can add extra lines here, or add an outdoor fone. Not much else, unless you want to beige box out of it, Just be sure it's not on your house, or it defeats the purpose. When you open it up, you'll see a few sets of 2 screws. With the green and red wires running to each. No real need to open the side marked 'Bell employees only' or sumthing like that, cause you can do everything from the residence's side. Just hook the red to the red and green to the green, then dial out. Better have a good Homeade test set though. In case someone is on the line. I'll tell you about those in a sec. Homeade Test Sets... -------------------- A black Box type test set is one of the best. it'll keep the hookswitch open while holding the line high with a resistor. This gives the same voltage effect as if the fone was on-hook (hung up). While the 10K ohms holds the the voltage right above the off-hook range,(around 22 volts, 15-17 for normal off-hook and 48 v. for normal on-hook). Thus giving the best signal strenth without having to worry about the noise of being tapped in. First you'll need Bell telefone type (Bell only). A SPST (single pole single throw) switch. 10K OHM 1/2 Watt 10% resistor. Take the cover off the fone, to expose the Network Box. The RR terminal should have an orange wire going to it. Disconnect the wire and connect it to one of the contacts on the switch, then connect a wire from the other cotact, to where the orange wire was connected. Take the 10K resistor and put it between the RR terminal and the F terminal, which should have a blue and white wire going to it. Maybe different colors, since bell is always changing shit. But you'll figure it out. Schematics: --------Blue Wire-------- -------White Wire-------/ | | | 10K Resistor | ------Green Wire- | | | | | | \ SPST / Or another version, if you just want to cut down on the noise factor. Is to wire a Switch selectable 1000 Ohm 1/2 Watt resitor in series with the Tip Wire. Flip it in circuit while connecting and once on-line flip it back off again. Welp thats it for this addition of 'Phuck the System'. Remeber, look for the seal of approval before reading any Underground text file. Future topics to look for: Watts Extenders Loops Boxing, Boxing and more Boxing Explosives and Bombcraft Operator Bullshiting (various types) Piracy Hacking Data Nets and Bell Telefone Defeating computer security VMB's Long Distance Services and how to hack em' Various Exchanges Etc, Etc, Etc...
