ANARCHY 'N' EXPLOSIVES - VOLUME 7
=================================
By Doctor Dissector, 6/16/89
Well, I've done it again, another issue of this series, all out, in no time
at all... In fact, this issue is being written only a few days from the last,
probably cuz it's summer now, and I can spend what little free time I have on
the computer to Anarchy shit. Anyway, here it is, and my generic warning label:

Ok, now, lets cut the crap... This is issue 7, wow, I never would have
thought I'd get an issue out so fast... But, this one should be pretty good for
you anarchy fans out there. In this issue, we will cover incendiaries and
composite explosives; the ones I have in mind include Fire Fudge, the Incendiary
Brick, PETN (Pentaerythrite tetranitrate), RDX (Cyclonite), Composition B,
Composition C4, and Pentolite. Enjoy the phun....
FIRE FUDGE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
a. Description.
(1) This item consists of a mixture of sugar and potassium chlorate in a
hot water solution which solidifies when cooled to room temperature.
It can be used to ignite most incendiaries, except thermite. It may
be used directly as an incendiary on rags, dry paper, dry hay, or in
the combustible vapor above liquid fuels.
(2) The igniter can be initiated by a fuse cord, string fuse, or concen-
trated sulfuric acid.
(3) Fire fudge resembles a white sugar fudge having a smooth, hard sur-
face. The advantage of this igniter material over Sugar-Chlorate, is
its moldability. The procedure for preparation must be followed
closely to obtain a smooth, uniform material with a hard surface.
CAUTION: THIS MATERIAL IS POISONOUS AND MUST NOT BE EATEN.
b. Material and Equipment.
Granulated Sugar (NOT powdered or confectioners)
Potassium chlorate (no coarser than the sugar)
Metallic, glass, or enameled pan.
Measuring container
Spoon (non-metallic)
Thermometer (200-250 degrees Fahrenheit)
c. Preparation.
(1) Clean the pan by boiling some clean water in it for about five
minutes. Discard the water, pour one measureful of clean water into
the pan and warm it. Dry the measuring container and add one measure-
full of sugar. Stir the liquid until the sugar dissolves.
(2) Boil the solution until a fairly thick syrup is obtained.
(3) Remove the pan from the source of heat to a distance of at least six
feet and shut off the heat. Rapidly add two measurefuls of potassium
chlorate. Stir gently for a minute to mix the syrup and powder, then
pour or spoon the mixture into appropriate molds. If the mold is
paper, it can usually be peeled off when the fire fudge cools and
hardens. Pieces of cardboard or paper adhering to the igniter will
not impair its use. Pyrex, glass, or ceramic molds can be used when a
clear, smooth surface is desired. It is recommended that section
thickness of molded fire fudge be at least one-half inch. If desired,
molded fire fudge can be safely broken with the fingers.
CAUTION: IF THIS IGNITER MATERIAL IS CARELESSLY HANDLED WITH
EXCESSIVE BUMPING OR SCRAPING, IT COULD PRESENT ITSELF AS A HAZARD.
d. Application.
(1) Place a piece of fire fudge on top of the incendiary. Minimum size
should be about one inch square and one-half inch thick. Prepare the
fire fudge for ignition with a fuse cord, string fuse, or
concentrated sulfuric acid in the normal manner.
(2) If only battery grade sulfuric acid is available, it must be concen-
trated before use to a specific gravity of 1.835, by heading it in an
enameled, heat resistant glass or porcelain pot, until dens, white
fumes appear.
(3) When used to ignite flammable liquids, wrap a quantity of the igniter
mixture in a non-absorbent material and suspend it inside the
container near the open top. The container must remain open for easy
ignition and combustion of the flammable liquid.
(4) To minimize the hazard of premature ignition of flammable liquid
vapors, allow at least two feet of fuse to extend from the top edge
of an open container of flammable liquid before lighting the fuse.
INCENDIARY BRICK
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
a. Description.
(1) This incendiary is composed of potassium chlorate, sulfur, sugar,
iron filings, and wax. When properly made, it looks like an ordinary
building brick and can be easily transported without detection. The
incendiary brick will ignite wooden walls, floors, and many other
combustible materials.
(2) This incendiary can be directly ignited by all igniters. To ignite
this incendiary with White Phosphorus Solution, the solution must
first be poured on absorbent paper and the paper placed on top of the
brick.
b. Material and Equipment.
Parts By Volume
Potassium chlorate (powdered).......................... 40
Sulfur (powdered)...................................... 15
Granulated sugar....................................... 20
Iron filings........................................... 10
Wax (beeswax or candle wax)............................ 15
Spoon or stick
Brick mild
Red paint
Measuring cup or can
Double boiler
Heat source (hot plate or stove)
c. Preparation.
(1) Fill the bottom half of the double boiler with water and bring to a
boil.
(2) Place the upper half of the boiler on the lower portion and add the
wax, sulfur, granulated sugar, and iron filings in the proper amount.
(3) Stir well to blend all the materials evenly.
(4) Remove the upper half of the double boiler from the lower portion and
either shut off the heat source or move the upper section several
feet from the fire.
CAUTION: EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE EXERCISED AT THIS POINT BECAUSE
ACCIDENTAL IGNITION OF THE MIXTURE IS POSSIBLE. SOME MEANS OF
EXTINGUISHING A FIRE SHOULD BE ACCESSIBLE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP
FACE, HANDS, AND CLOTHING AT A REASONABLY SAFE DISTANCE DURING THE
REMAINDER OF THE PREPARATION. A FACE SHIELD AND FIREPROOF GLOVES ARE
RECOMMENDED.
(5) CAREFULLY add the required amount of potassium chlorate and again
stir well to obtain a homogeneous mixture.
(6) Pour the mixture into a brick mold and set aside until it cools and
hardens.
(7) When hard, remove the incendiary from the mold, and paint it red to
simulate a normal building brick.
d. Application.
(1) When painted, the incendiary brick can be carried with normal
construction materials and placed in or on combustible materials.
(2) A short time delay in ignition can be obtained by combining fuses
and one of the igniters.
PETN is a high explosive used in detonating that is one of the most
powerful military explosives
almost equal in force to nitroglycerine and RDX.
When used in a detonating cord, it has a detonation velocity of 21,000 feet
per second and is relatively insensitive to friction and shock from handling
and transportation.
PREPARATION: Four hundred cc. of strong white nitric acid-prepared by
adding a little urea to fuming nitric acid, warming, and blowing dry air
through it until it is completely decolorized-is cooled in a 600 cc. beaker in
a freezing mixture of ice and salt. One hundred grams of pentaerythrite,
ground to pass a 50-mesh sieve, is added to the acid a little at a time with
efficient stirring while the temperature is kept below 5 degrees. After all
has been added, the stirring and the cooling are continued for 15 minutes. The
mixture is then drowned in about 4 liters of cracked ice and water. The crude
product, amounting to about 221 grams or 95% of the theory, is filtered off,
washed free from acid, digested for an hour with a liter of hot 0.5% sodium
carbonate solution, again filtered off and washed, dried, and finally
recdata bstallized from acetone. A good commercial sample of PETN melts at 138.0-
138.5 degrees. The pure material melts at 140.5-141.0 degrees, short prismatic
needles, insoluble in water, difficultly soluble in alcohol and ether.
RDX - Cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine - (Cyclonite, Hexagon, rags K
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
RDX is a white cdystalline solid that exhibits very high shattering
power. It is commonly used as a booster in explosive trains or as a main
bursting charge. It is stable in storage, and when combined with proper
additives, may be cast or press loaded. It may be initiated by lead azide or
mercury fulminate.
PREPARATION: Detailed instructions are not available on the preperation
of this product at this time, but if you are a good chemist, you will be able
to make it from the brief description following- Cyclonite, prepared by the
nitration of hexamethylenetetramine (C6H12N4), is derived ultimately from no
other raw materials than coke, air, and water. Hexamethylenetetramine has
basic properties and forms a nitrate (C6H12N4-2HNO3, m.p. 165 degrees) that is
soluble in water, insoluble in alcohol, ether, chloroform, and acetone. The
product C3H6O6N6, prepared by nitrating this nitrate is cyclonite. Another
method of extracting RDX is by treating hexamethylenetetramine directly with
strong nitric acid. In the acid process, the tetramine is added slowly in
small portions at a time to nitric acid (1.52 s.g.) at a temperature of 20-20
degrees. When all the tetramine and acid are mixed, warm the liquid to 55
degrees. The allow the mixture to stand for a few minutes, allowing it to cool
to 20 degrees, and the product will be precipitated with the addition of
water. One example is 50 grams of the hexamethylenetetramine added to 550
grams of 100% nitric acid at 30 degrees, over a period of 15 minutes; the
mixture was cooled to 0 degrees, held at 0 degrees for 20 minutes, and the
drowned with water. A chemical diagram of the chemicals and the reaction are
shown below.

COMPOSITION B
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Composition B is a high-explosive mixture with a relative effectiveness
higher than that of TNT. It is also more sensitive than TNT. It is composed of
RDX (59%), TNT (40%), and wax (1%). Because of its shattering power and high
rate of detonation, Composition B is used as the main charge in certain models
of bangalore torpedoes and shaped charges.
Composition C4 is the most common military plastic explosive. It is often
referred to as C4 Plasique. C4 is a white plastic high-explosive more powerful
than TNT. It consists of 91% RDX and 9% plastic binder. It remains plastic
over a wide range of temperatures (-70 to 170 degrees Fahrenheit), and is
about as sensitive as TNT. It is eroded less than other plastic explosives
when immersed under water for long periods. Because of its high detonation
velocity and its plasticity, C4 is well suited for gutting steel and timber
and for breaching concrete.
PENTOLITE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pentolite is a high explosive mixture of equal proportions of PETN and
TNT. It is light yellow and is used as the main bursting charge f the i Ninades,
small shells
and shaped charges. Pentolite may be melted and cast in the
container. Pentolite should not be drilled to produce cavities, forming tools
should be used.

/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
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 an 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.
/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
/-/ The Lock /-/
/-/ in Trace /-/
/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
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
electricity, that is why kou sometimes get static and faint connections
when you are calling far away, because the electricity has trouble keeping
the lineup. 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 impossible 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, image 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 an electrical plug. This way, you can
"flash" voltage THROUGH the line, but cannot drain it. So, some
modifications have to be done.
/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
/-/ The Aqua Box /-/
/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
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 cords mentioned above, if you can't find one then construct your
own... same voltage connection, but the restrain or must be the central
box)
- TWO phone jacks (one for the modem, one for if you are being traced to
plug the aqua box into)
- Some cdeativity 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
electrical 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
ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE IS TURNED OFF unless you wanna become a cdispy
cditter 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, lo and behold, you will see that at the base of
the prongs there are a few wires connecting in. Those wires conduct the
power into the appliance. So, you carefully 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
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
phonephonep 1 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 cdam all the wires into the and
re-close it. That box is your ticket out of this.
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 connector.
In order to use itl ofuld pkeep 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, un-plug 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 UNLESS 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!

CONSTRUCTION PROJECT: aTOMIC BOMB
THE FOLLOWING PAPER IS TAKEN FROM THE JOURNAL OF
IRREPRODUCIBLE RESULTS, VOLUME 25/NUMBER 4/1979. PO BOX 234
CHICAGO HEIGHTS, ILLINOIS 60411. SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE 1 YEAR FOR
$3.701.
1. INTRODUCTION:
WORLDWIDE CONTROVERSY HAS BEEN GENERATED RECENTLY FROM
SEVERAL COURT DECISIONS IN THE UNITED STATES WHICH HAVE
RESTRICTED POPULAR MAGAZINES FROM PRINTING ARTICLES WHICH
DESCRIBE HOW TO MAKE AN ATOMIC BOMB. THE REASON USUALLY GIVEN BY
THE COURTS IS THAT NATIONAL SECURITY WOULD BE COMPROMISED IF SUCH
INFORMATION WERE GENERALLY AVAILABLE. BUT, SINCE IT IS COMMONLY
KNOWN THAT ALL OF THE INFORMATION IS PUBLICLY AVAILABLE IN MOST
MAJOR METROPOLITAN LIBRARIES, OBVIOUSLY THE COURT'S OFFICIALLY
STATED POSITION IS COVERING UP A MORE IMPORTANT FACTOR; NAMELY,
THAT SUCH ATOMIC DEVICES WOULD PROVE TOO DIFFICULT FOR THE
AVERAGE CITIZEN TO CONSTRUCT. THE UNITE fTEDS COURTS CANNOT
AFFORD TO INSULT THE VAST MAJORITIES BY INSINUATING THAT THEY DO
NOT HAVE THE INTELLIGENCE OF A CABBAGE, AND THTHTSTATED"OFFICIAL"
PRESS RELEASES CLAIM NATIONAL SECURITY AS A BLANKET RESTRICTION.
THE RUMORS THAT HAVE UNFORTUNATELY OCCURRED AS A RESULT OF
WIDESPREAD MISINFORMATION CAN (AND MUST) BE CLEARED UP NOW, FOR
THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT THIS MONTH IS THE CONSTRUCTION OF A
THERMONUCLEAR DEVICE, WHICH WILL HOPEFULLY CLEAR UP ANY
MISCONCEPTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE ABOUT SUCH A PROJECT.
WE WILL SEE HOW EASY IT IS TO MAKE A DEVICE OF YOUR VERY
OWN IN TEN EASY STEPS, TO HAVE AND HOLD AS YOU SEE FIT, WITHOUT
ANNOYING INTERFERENCE FROM THE GOVERNMENT OR THE COURTS. THE
PROJECT WILL COST BETWEEN $5,000 AND $30,000, DEPENDING ON HOW
FANCY YOU WANT THE FINAL PRODUCT TO BE. SINCE noughe Cd WEEK'S
COLUMN, "LET'S MAKE A TIME MACHINE", WAS RECEIVED SO WELL IN THE
NEW STEP-BY-STEP FORMAT, THIS MONTH'S COLUMN WILL FOLLOW THE SAME
FORMAT.
2. CONSTRUCTION METHOD:
1. FIRST, OBTAIN ABOUT 50 POUNDS (110 KG) OF WEAPONS GRADE
PLUTONIUM AT YOUR LOCAL SUPPLIER (SEE NOTE 1). A NUCLEAR POWER
PLANT IS NOT RECOMMENDED, AS LARGE QUANTITIES OF MISSING
PLUTONIUM TENDS TO MAKE PLANT ENGINEERS UNHAPPY. WE SUGqT THAT
YOU CONTACT YOUR LOCAL TERRORIST ORGANIZATION, OR PERHAPS THE
JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
2. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT PLUTONIUM, ESPECIALLY PURE, REFINED
PLUTONIUM, IS SOMEWHAT DANGEROUS. WASH YOUR HANDS WITH SOAP AND
WARM WATER AFTER HANDLING THE MATERIAL, AND DON'T ALLOW YOUR
CHILDREN OR PETS TO PLAY IN IT OR EAT IT. ANY LEFT OVER PLUTONIUM
DUST IS EXCELLENT AS AN INSECT REPELLANT. YOU MAY WISH TO KEEP
THE SUBSTANCE IN A LEAD BOX IF YOU CAN FIND ONE IN YOUR LOCAL
JUNK YARD, BUT AN OLD COFFEE CAN WILL DO NICELY.
3. FASHION TOEhHER A METAL ENCLOSURE TO HOUSE THE DEVICE. MOST
COMMON VARIETIES OF SHEET METAL CAN BE BENT TO DISGUISE THIS
ENCLOSURE AS, FOR EXAMPLE, A BRIEFCASE, A LUNCH PAIL, OR A BUICK.
DO NOT USE TINFOIL.
(BOMB CONT.)
4. ARRANGE THE PLUTONIUM INTO TWO HEMISPHERAL SHAPES, SEPARATED
BY ABOUT 4 CM. USE RUBBER CEMENT TO HOLD THE PLUTONIUM DUST
TOGETHER. GELIGNITE IS MUCH BETTER, BUT MESSIER TO WORK WITH.
YOUR HELPFUL HARDWARE MAN WILL BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THIS
ITEM.
5. PACK THE TNT AROUND THE HEMISPHERE ARRANGEMENT CONSTRUCTED IN
STEP 4. IF YOU CANNOT FIND GELIGNITE, FEEL FREE TO USE TNT
PACKED IN WITH PLAY-DOUGH OR ANY MODELING CLAY. COLORED CLAY IS
ACCEPTABLE, BUT THERE IS NO NEED TO GET FANCY AT THIS POINT.
6. ENCLOSE THE STRUCTURE FROM STEP 6 INTO THE ENCLOSURE MADE IN
STEP 3. USE A STRONG GLUE SUCH AS "CRAZY GLUE" TO BIND THE
HEMISPHERE ARRANGEMENT AGAINST THE ENCLOSURE TO PREVENT
ACCIDENTAL DETONATION WHICH MIGHT RESULT FROM VIBRATION OF
MISHANDLING.
7. TO DETONATE THE DEVICE, OBTAIN A RADIO CONTROLLED (RC) SERVO
MECHANISM, AS FOUND IN RC MODEL AIRPLANES AND CARS. WITH A
MINIMUM OF EFFORT, A REMOTE PLUNGER CAN BE MADE THAT WILL STRIKE
A DETONATOR CAP TO EFFECT A SMALL EXPLOSION. THESE DETONATOR CAPS
CAN BE FOUND IN THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY SECTION OF YOUR LOCAL
SUPERMARKET. WE RECOMMEND THE "BLAST-O-MATIC" BRAND BECAUSE THEY
ARE NO DEPOSIT-NO RETURN.
8. NOW HIDE THE COMPLETED DEVICE FROM THE NEIGHBORS AND
CHILDREN. THE GARAGE IS NOT RECOMMENDED BECAUSE OF HIGH HUMIDITY
AND THE EXTREME RANGE OF TEMPERATURES EXPERIENCED THERE. NUCEAR
DEVICES HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO SPONTANEOUSLY DETONATE IN THESE
UNSTABLE CONDITIONS. THE HALL CLOSET OR UNDER THE KITCHEN SINK
WILL BE PERFECTLY SUITABLE.
9. NOW YOU ARE THE PROUD OWNER OF A WORKING THERMONUCLEAR DEVICE!
IT IS A GREAT ICE-BREAKER AT PARTIES, AND IN A PINCH, CAN BE USED
FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE.
3. THEORY OF OPERATION:
THE DEVICE BASICALLY WORKS WHEN THE DETONATED TNT COMPRESSES
THE PLUTONIUM INTO A CRITICAL MASS. THE CRITICAL MASS THEN
PRODUCES A NUCLEAR CHAIN REACTION SIMILAR TO THE DOMINO CHAIN
REACTION (DISCUSSED IN THIS COLUMN, "DOMINOS ON THE MARCH" MARCH,
1968). THE CHAIN REACTION THEN PROMPTLY PRODUCES A BIG
THERMONUCLEAR REACTION. AND THERE YOU HAVE IT, A 10 MEGATON
EXPLOSION!
4. NEXT MONTH'S COLUMN:
IN NEXT MONTH'S COLUMN, WE WILL LEARN HOW TO CLONE YOUR
NEIGHBOR'S WIFE IN SIX EASY STEPS. THIS PROJECT PROMISES TO BE AN
EXCITING WEEKEND FULL OF FUN AND PROFIT. COMMON KITCHEN UTENSILS
WILL BE ALL YOU NEED. SEE YOU ALL NEXT MONTH!
5. NOTES:
1. PLUTONIUM (P)U ATOMIC NUMBER se s4, IS A RADIOACTIVE METALLIC
ELEMENT FORMED BY THE DECAY OF NEPTUNIUM AND IS SIMILAR IN
CHEMICAL STRUCTURE TO URANIUM, SATURIUM, JUPITERNIUM, AND
MARSIUM.

Finally, to the Atari World...
THE PHOENIX brings you
THE BEIGE BOX
Construction and Use
Inventor and Author: The Exterminator
Terminal Man
Distributor: The Phoenix
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 phone company trucks for one 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 construction 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 telephone,
however, only two matter: the red (ring) and green (tip). The yellow
and black are not necessary for this project. A lineman's handset
only has two clips on it: the ring and the tip.
You will need a phone (we reccommend a touch-tone) with a
modular plug, a modular jack, and two large alligator clips
(preferably red and green, respectively). Take the modular jack and
look at the bottom of its casing. There should be a grey 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 telephone's
modular plug into the molular jack. That's it.
This particular model is nice because it can be easily made,
is inexpensive, uses common parts that are readily available, is
small, is lightweight, and does not require the destruction of a
phone.
----- --- ----
BEYGE BOX 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 Telephone 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-clockwise and
open. If your output device is locked, then you must have some
knowledge of destroying and/or picking locks. However, we have never
encountered 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 ks usually on the right). Remember: Ring - red - right.
The "Three R's" -- a simple way to remember which is which.
NMw you must attach the red alligator clip (ring) to the
"R" (ring) terminal. Attach the green alliagtor 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 phone 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
phone. 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, anl
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 0-700-456-1000 and you will get instructions from
there. I prefer this method over PBXs, since PBXs often have poos Fpiction 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 cdeate a large phone 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 phone off hook, and they will not be able to make or recieve
calls. This can be extremely nasty because 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.
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
ouput device, I reccomend that you place a piece of
transparent tape over the opening of your output device.
Therefore, if it is opened in your absence, the tape will be
displaced and you will be aware of the fact"that someone has
been intruding upon your territory.

BLACK BOX PLANS
---------------
WHEN YOUR PHONE IS JUST SITTING THERE
DOING NOTHING, THE VOLTAGE THROUGH
THE PHONE LINE IS ABOUT 20 VOLTS AC.
WHEN SOMEONE CALLS AND THE FONE
STARTS RINGING, THE VOLTAGE JUMPS
ENOUGH FOR THE BELL TO WORK (ABOUT
48 VOLTS) WHICH TELLS MA BELL TO STAND
BY IF YOU SHOULD PICK UP SO SHE CAN
BILL YOU. WHEN YOU ADVENTUALLY PICK UP
THE PHONE THE VOLTAGE DROPS TO 10 VOLTS
AND THE BILLING STARTS. WHAT A BLACK
BOX DOES IS IT KEEPS THE VOLTAGE AT 36
VOLTS THEREFORE THE INCOMMING CALLER
NEVER GETS BILLED (INGENIOUS!).
THE ORIGINAL BLACK BOX WAS CREATED BY
AN EX-BELL EMPLOYEE WHO WENT BY THE
NAME "CAPTAIN CRUNCH". HE GOT HIS NAME
FROM THOSE LITTLE WHISLES YOU GOT IN
BOXES OF CAPTAIN CRUNCH BECAUSE THEY
EMITED A TONE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A PAY
FONE.CAPT CRUNCH JUST ANNOUNCED HIS
OFFICIAL RETIREMENT FROM PHREAKING
AFTER BEING RELEASED FROM A CALFORNIA
JAIL ON TWO COUNTS OF USING BLUE
BOXES (THE ONES OPERATORS USE).
MATERIALS: 1] A 36 VOLT ZENER DIODE.
2] A CERAMIC OR MYLAR
CAPACITOR OF 0.1 MICRO-
FARAD.
3] A ELECTROLYTIC CAPACITOR
OF 1.0 MICROFARAD.
YOU CAN GET ALL THESE PARTS AT YOUR
LOCAL RADIO SHACK.
INSTRUCTIONS:
FIRST YOU HAVE TO OPEN YOUR PHONE UP.
YOU DO THIS BY GENTLY REMOVING THE
TWO SCREWS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PHONE
AND LIFTING THE COVER UP SLOWLY. YOU
SHOULD NOTICE THREE WIRES COMING IN
FROM THE BACK OF THE PHONE, A GREEN,
RED, ANDYELLOW MOST OF THE TIME THOUGH
THEY CAN DIFFER. DON'T WORRY ABOUT THCONSTY CANLOW WIRE, WE WILL NOT NEED IT TO DO
THIS. YOU WILL NEED TO FIND THE MORE
POSITIVE OF THE REMAINING TWO WIRES
(ALMOST ALWAYS THE GREEN). NOW CONNECT
THE BANDED END OF THE ZENER DIODE TO
THE MORE POSITIVE OF THESE TWO WIRES.
NOW CONNECT THC OTHER END OF THE DIODE
TO THE RED WIRE "IN-SERIES". YOU HAVE
JUST COMPLETED THE FIRST STEP.
FOR THE SECOND STEP YOU NEED A CERAMIC
OR MYLAR CAPACITOR OF 0.1 MICRO-
FARAD. YOU CONNECT THIS "IN PARALLEL"
ACROSS THE DIODE. THIS IS NEEDED TO
ALLOW THE DIODE TO PASS VOICE SIGNALS.
NOW FOR THE FINAL STEP. TAKE YOUR
ELECTROLYTIC CAPACITOR OF UP TO 1
MICRO-FARAD WITH IT'S + END CONNECTED
TO THE BANDED END OF THE DIODE AND THE
OTHER END SHOULD BE CONNECTED TO THE
ANODE END OF THE DIODE.
MA BELL IS NOT TOTALLY OBLIVIO.
6SO
THIS. IF THE PHONE RINGS FOR ABOUT A
HALF-HOUR THEY WILL THINK SOMETHING IS
WRONG AND BILL YOU ANYWAY. WHEN USING A
BLACK BOX YOUR PHONE WILL CONTINUE TO
RING EVEN THOUGH YOU PICKED UP. YOU
HAVE TO MAKE A SWITCH TO CONNECT TO
ONE OF THE RINGER WIRES THAT WILL SHUT
IT OFF
Finally, it is here! What was first conceived as a joke to fool the inncoent
phreakers around America has finally been concieved 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 summery 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 Mas orr, 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 responcable 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 electronical impulse machine could have
the severe results listed below and could result in high federal prosecutioncription3 rain, The Traveler
TAKES NO RESPONCABILITY!
All right, now that that is cleared up, here is the basis of the box and
it's function.
The Blotto Box is every phreaks dream... you could hold AT&T down on it's
knee's with this device. Because, quite simply, it can turn off the phone
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 switchhing system stays the same, this box will not
stop at a mere area code. It will stop at nothing. The electrical impulses
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 phone
line will continue to ring, and people close to the box may be electricuted if
they pick up the phone.
But, the Blotto Box can be stopped by merely cutting of the line or
generator. 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
following are the instructions for construction and use of this box. Please
read and heed all warnings in the above section before you attempt to
construct 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 phone line jack.
- A meter of voltage 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 phone jack (not your own, and not in your area
code!
- A soudering iron and much souder.
- 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 equiptment 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 telephone poles. Open it up with anything convienent, if you are
two feeble that 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 phone 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 cditter. Keep the generator off until you
plan to start it up. Now, sauder those lines together carefully. Wrap duck
tape or insultation tape around all of the wires. Now, place the remote
control right on to the startup 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 sill realize now tHat your area code is about to become
null! Then, getting back, twitch the pole/remote control and run for your
damn life. Anywherel ofuust get away from it. It will be generating 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 phone lines around
you in every direction.
Have a nice day!

This file will explain the construction, troubleshooting,
This design will make them last 10 months!!!!!! But
nevertheless, don'tforget to put in aswitch for on and off. Ok
let's build the two VCO'S andcalibrate the unit before we get to
the keyboard construction.
VCO CONSTRUCTION
TOOLS REQUIRED
1 ocilliscope(optional but not req)
1 Freq. counter (REQUIRED)
1 Volt meter " " "
Electronics tools (Pliers, drll, screwdrivers, etc.)
P1-P10 200K TRIMMER POT - 20 TURNS DIODES USED IN THE KEYBOARD
ARE 1N914 TYPE(40 OF THEM) & 13 SWITCHES FOR THE KEYBOARD SPST
MOMENTARY.
SPKR YOU CAN USE A TELEPHONE SPEAKER FOR THIS (IT WORKS BEST) BUT
REMEMBER TOTAKE OUT THE DIODE THAT IS CONNECTED ACCROSS IT.
IMPORTANT NOTES
1. DO NOT USE ANYTHING ELSE OTHER THAN A MYLAR CAPACITOR FORC2.
2. PINS 10,9,8 SHOULD BE TIED TOGETHER AND BE LEFT FLOATING.
3. ALL RESISTORS SHOULD BE 5%! NOTHING ELSE!
4. A TELEPHONE SPEAKER GIVES THE BEST RESULTS.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
By now you should have constructed the two VCO'S on a bread board
or anything that pleases you. Check for cold solder
joints,broken wires,polarity of the battery, etc. Before we
apply power to the VCO'S we have to adjust the pots for their
half way travel point. This is done by turning them 21 turns to
the right and then 10 turns to the left. Do the same for all ten
of them.
Now apply power to the unit check to see that you have power in
the chips by putting the positive lead of your volt meter on pin
7 andthe negative lead on pin 12. If you do not have anything
there turn off the unit and RECHECK THE WIRING.
When you get the right voltages on the chips, connect a diode to
a piece of wire (look at fig. 2 for the orientation of the diode)
from round to any pot at point T (look carefully at the schematic
for point T it is labeled T1-T10 for all pots). You should be
able to hear a tone, if not disconnect the lead and place the
speaker close to your ear and if you hear a chirp-like sound,
this means that the two VCO'S are working if you don't,
it means that either one or both of the VCO'S are dead. So in
this case it is always good to have an ocilloscope on hand.
Disconnect the speaker from the circuit and hook the ocilliscope
to 1 of the leads of the speaker & the ground from the scope to
the ground of the battery. Connect again the ground lead with the
diode connected to it from ground to any pot on the VCO that you
are checking and you should see a triangle wave if not turn the
pot in which you are applying the ground to until you see it.
When you do see it do the the same for the other VCO to makesure
it is working. (amplitude is about 2VAC). When you get the two
VCO's working you are set for the adjustment of the individual
spots.
ADJUSTMENT
Disconnect the speaker from the circuit and connect a freq.
counter (the positive lead of the counter to one of the speakers
leads that belongs to VCO#1 or connect it to pin 14.
Connect the negative lead to the battery negative and connect the
jumperlead with the diode from ground to pot number 1.T1 (the
first pot number 1 point T1). If you got it working you should
hear a tone and get a reading on the counter. Adjust the pot for
a freq. of 1700hz and continue doing the same for pots 2-5
except that they get different freqs. which are:
Now disconnect the freq. counter from the speaker lead of VCO#1
or from pin (which ever you had it attached to at the beginning)
and connect it to the speaker lead of VCO#2 or to pin 14 of VCO#2
and make the same adjustments toP6-10.:

When you finish doing all of the pots go back and re-check
them.
KEYBOARD
IF YOU LOOK AT FIG-2 YOU WILL SEE THAT THE KEYS ARE
SIMPLE SWITCHES. CONNECTED TO A GROUND AND TWO DIODES ON THE
OTHER END. THESE DIODES ARE USED TO SIMPLIFY THE CONSTRUCTION OF
THE KEYBOARD BECAUSE OTHERWISE THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE GROUND
SIGNAL FOR BOTH VCO'S WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE MECHANICALLY. THE
DIODE WILL GO TO VCO#1 AND THE OTHER WILL GO TO VCO#2. FIG-3
SHOWS THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE KEYS ON THE KEYBOARD.
BELOW IS A TABLE THAT WILL HELP YOU CONNECT THE KEYS TO THE
REQUIRED VCO'SPOTS.
REMEMBER THAT IN FIG-2 IT'S THE SAME FOR EACH KEY EXCEPT THE "X"
KEY, WHICH ONLY TAKES ONE DIODE.
The Chemists Corner: #1
I. Common "weak" explosives:
A. Gunpowder:
75% Potassium nitrate
15% Charcoal
10% Sulfur
The chemicals should be ground into a fine powder SEPARATELY! with a mortar
and pestle. If gunpowder is ignited in the open,it burns fiercely, but if in a
closed space it builds up pressure from the released gases and can explode the
container. Gunpowder works like this: the Potassium nitrate oxidizes the
charcoal and sulfur, which then burn. Carbon dioxide and Sulfur dioxide are the
gases released.
B. Ammonal:
Ammonal is a mixture of ammonium nitrate with aluminum powder. I am not
sure of the % composition for ammonal, so you may want to experiment a little
using small amounts.
C. Chemically ignited explosives:
1. A mixture of 1 part potassium chlorateExt5 parts table sugar burns
fiercely and brightly ( similar to that of magnesium ) when 1 drop of
concentrated sulfuric acid iectrione hon it. What occurs is this: when the acid
is added it reacts with the potassium chlorate to form chorine dioxide, which
explodes on formation, burning the sugar as well.
2. Using various chemicals
a mixture has been developed that works well exfor imitating volcanic eruptions. Given the name "MPG Volcanite" by Zaphod
Beeblebrox/MPG. Here it is:
Potassium chlorate + potassium perchlorate + ammonium nitrate + ammonium
dichromate + potassium nitrate + sugar + sulfur + iron filings + charcoal + zinc
dust + some coloring agent. ( red = Strontium nitrate, purple = iodine crystals,
yellow = sodium chloride, crimson = calcium chloride, etc...)
3. So do you think water puts out fires? In this one, it starts them. Mix;
ammonium nitrate + ammonium chloride + iodine + zinc dust. When a drop or two
of water is added, the ammonium nitrate forms nitric acid which reacts with the
zinc to produce hydrogen and heat. This may also ignite the hydrogen and begin
burning.
Ammonium nitrate: 8 g.
Ammonium chloride: 1 g.
Zinc dust: 8 g.
Iodine cdata bstals: 1 g.
4. Potassium Permanganate + glycerine when mixed produces a purple colored exflame in 30 seconds to 1 minute. Works best if the potassium permanganate is exfinely ground.
5. Calcium carbide + water releases acetylene gas
as used in blow torches.
II. Thermite reaction:
The thermite reaction is used in welding, because it generates molten iron
and temps. of 3500 C (6000 F+). It uses one of the previous reactions to start
it.
Starter: Potassium chlorate + sugar.
Main pt.: Iron (III) oxide + aluminum powder (325 mesh or finer).
Put the potassium chlorate + sugar around and on top of the main pt. to start
the reaction, place one drop of concentrated sulfuric acid on top of the starter
mix. Step back! The ratios are: 3 parts iron(III) oxide, 1 part aluminum
powder, 25g potassium permanganate, 6 ml glycerine.
III. Nitrogen-containing high explosives:
A. Mercury (II) fulminate
To produce this very shock sensitive explosive, one might assume that it
could be formed by adding fulminic acid to mercury. This is somewhat difficult
since fulminic acid ie very unstable and cannot be purchased. Although fulminic
acid is not needed for this explosive.
You add 2 parts nitric acid to 2 parts alcohol to 1 part mercury. This is
theoretical ( not tried yet ) so please if you try this, do it in very small
amounts and let me know the results.
B. Nitrogen Triiodide:
This is a very powerful and shock sensitive explosive. Never store it and
be careful for air movements, and other tiny things could set it off.
Materials:
2-3g Iodine
15ml Conc. Ammonia
8 Sheets of filter paper
50ml Beaker
Feather on a 10ft pole
Ear plugs
Tape
Spatula
Stirring rod
Add iodine to ammonia in the beaker. Stir, let stand for 5 minutes. Do
the following within 5 minutes!! Retain the solid, and pour off the liquid.
Scrape the brown solid onto a stack of four sheets of filter paper. Divide
solid into four parts, putting each on a sheet of dry filter paper. Tape in
position. Leave to dry undisturbed for at least 30 minutes. To detonate, touch
with the feather. Wear the ear plugs while doing this...it is very loud!
C. Cellulose Nitrate ( Guncotton )
Commonly known as smokeless powder because it does not give off smoke as it
burns.
Place 250ml beaker in the ice bath, add 70ml sulfuric acid, 30ml nitric
acid. Divide cotton into .7g pieces. With tongs, immerse each piece in the
acid solution for 1 minute. Next rinse each piece in 3 successive baths of
500ml water. If it bubbles, rinse in water once more until no bubbles occur.
Squeeze dry and spread on paper towels to dry overnight.
IV. Other stuff
A. Peroxyacetone:
This is extremely flammable and has been reported to be shock sensitive.
Materials:
4ml Acetone
4ml 30% Hydrogen peroxide
4 Drops Conc. Hydrochloric acid
150ml Test tube
Add acetone and hydrogen peroxide to the test tube. Then add hydrochloric
acid. In 10-20 minutes a white solid should begin to appear. If no change is evident, warm the tube in a water bath at 40 C. Allow the reaction to continue exfor two hours. Swirl the slurry and filter it. Leave out on filter paper to
dry for at least two hours. To ignite. light a candle tied to a meter stick and
light it.
B. Smoke...Smoke...And more Smoke:
The following reaction should produce a fair amount of smoke. Since this
reaction is not all that dangerous you can use larger amounts if necessary for
more smoke.
Mix 6g zinc powder + 1g sulfur powder. Insert a red hot wire into the pile
and step back as much smoke should be produced.
This article has instructions on how to do some interesting experiments with
common household chemicals. It is suggested that you have some knowledge of
chemistry before attempting some of these experiments.
I. A list of household chemicals and their composition
Exp #1: Fizz
Mix vinegar with baking soda. This produces sodium acetate and carbonic
acid. The carbonic acid quickly decomposes into carbon dioxide and water making
the fizz.
Just stick the zinc and copper strips at opposite ends of the fruit and you
have a 1.5 volt battery.
Exp #3: Generating chlorine gas
This is slightly more dangerous than the other two, so you should know e you e ablou're doing before you try this...
If you ever wondered why ammonia bottles say "DO NOT MIX WITH CHLORINE
BLEACH", it is because if you do, it will give off chlorine gas. To capture it,
get a large bottle. Since the chlorine is heavier than air, it will stay in the
bottle unless you use large amounts. DON'T! For something fun to do with
chlorine read the following experiments...
Exp #4: Chlorine + turpentine
Take a small cloth or rag and soak it in turpentine. Quickly drop it into
the bottle of chlorine. It should give off a lot of black smoke and probably
start to burn.
Exp #5: Creating hydrogen gas
To generate hydrogen, all you need is an acid and a metal that will react
with it. Try vinegar or sulfuric acid with zinc or aluminum. You can collect
hydrogen in something if you note that it is lighter than air...Light a small
amount and it burns with a small "POP".
Another way of creating hydrogen is by the electrolysis of water. This
involves separating water ( H20 ) into hydrogen and oxygen by an electric
current. To do this, you need a 6-12v battery, two test tubes, a large bowl, two
wire electrodes, and sulfuric acid. Dissolve the acid in a large bowl of water.
Submerge the test tubes in the water and put the electrodes inside them. With
the mouth of the tube aiming down. Connect the battery to the wire electrodes.
As the reaction is allowed to occur, hydrogen will be produced in one tube and
oxygen in the other. The tube with more space than the other is the one with
the hydrogen since water is H2O: 2 parts hydrogen to 1 part oxygen.
Exp #6: Chlorine + hydrogen
Take the test tube of hydrogen and cover the mouth with you thumb. Keep it
inverted, and bring it near the bottle of chlorine not previously used. Say
"Goodbye test tube", and drop it into the bottle. The hydrogen and chlorine
should react and possibly explode. The interesting thing about this is that
they will not react if it is dark and no heat is present. When a light is
turned on, enough energy is present to cause them to react...
Exp #7: Preparation of oxygen
Get some hydrogen peroxide and manganese dioxide ( the black powder from a
battery ). Mix the two in a bottle, and they give off oxygen.
Exp #8: Alcohol for party tricks
Buy some rubbing alcohol. Soak a towel in water and then in alcohol. Light
the towel on fire. When it finishes burning the alcohol, the flame should go
out leaving the towel unharmed.
Exp #9: Iodine?
Tincture of iodine contains mainly alcohol and a little iodine. To
separate them, put some iodine in a metal lid to a bottle and heat it over a
candle. Have a stand holding another metal lid with ice in it about 4-6 inches
over the tincture. The tincture of iodine should then sublime into cdata bstals on
the upper lid. I haven't tried this yet but if it works you can use this for
the experiments in article #1.
Exp #10: Your own grain elevator explosion
Get a candle and some flour. Light the candle and put some flour in your
hand. Try various ways of getting the flour to leave you hand and become dust
over the candle flame. The enormous surface area allows all the tiny dust
particles to burn all at about the same time creating a fireball effect. If you
can get you hands on some lycopodium powder, this will work much better,
creating huge unexpected fireballs.
Nitro is a very powerful high explosive. The byproducts of nitro is nothing but
nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water, and oxygen.
To make nitro.
Mix 100 parts fuming nitric acid, with specific gravity of 50 degrees
baume, with 200 parts sulphuric acid. This is going to be hot at first. It
won't splatter if you pour the nitric into the sulphuric. The acid solutions
together can dissolve flesh in a matter of seconds so take care when using
them!! When cool, add 38 parts glycerine as slowly as possible. Let it trickle
down the sides of the container into the acids or it won't mix thoroughly and
the reaction could go to fast which causes enough heat to ignite itself. If you
see the mixture turn brown or look funny, run like hell!! This means it is
about to explode! (Nitroglycerin can fill up to 10,000 times it's original area
with expanding gases. This means that if you have 10ml's somewherel it will
produce 100,000ml of gases). Stir with a GLASS rod for 15 seconds then
carefully pour it into 20 times it's volume of water. It will visibly
precipitate immediately. There will be twice as much nitro as you used glycerine
and it is easy to separate. Mix it with baking soda as soon as you have
separated it this helps it not to go off by itself.
NOTES: Parts are by weight and the baume scale of specific gravity can be found
in most chemistry books. You can get fuming nitric and sulfuric acids wherever
good chemicals or fertilizers are sold. It is positively STUPID to make more
than 200 grams of nitro at time. When mixing the stuff wear goggles, gloves,
etc. One experience of having the stuff going off by itself blew both a window
and the table it was sitting on away. This was done with only 25g of the stuff.
Once you have made the nitro and saturated it with bicarb. you can make a
really powerful explosive that won't go off by itself by simply mixing it
fieasy uch cotton as you can and them saturating that with molten wax...just enough
to make it sealed and hard. Typically, use the same amounts ( by weight ) of
each nitro, cotton and wax. This when wrapped in newspaper was once known as "
Norbin & Olson's patent dynamite " but that was back in 1896.
How to make TNT
1. Get two clean beakers. In the first, prepare a solution of 76% sulfuric
acid, 23% nitric acid and 1% water. In the other beaker prepare another
solution of 57% nitric acid and 43% sulfuric acid. Percentages are on a weight
ratio, not by volume.
2. Ten grams of the first solution are poured into an empty beaker and placed
in an ice bath.
3. Add ten grams of toluene, and stir for several minutes.
4. Remove this beaker from the ice bath and gently heat until it reaches 50
degrees C. The solution is stirred constantly while being heated.
5. Fifty additional grams of the acid from the first beaker are addedEand the
temperature is allowed to rise to 55 C. This temp is held for the next ten
minutes. an oily liquid will begin to form on the top of the acid.
6. After 10-12 minutes, the acid solution is returned to the ice bath, and
cooled to 45 C. When reaching this temp. the oily liquid will sink and collect
at the bottom of the beaker. At this point, the remaining acid solution should
be drawn off using a syringe.
7. Fifty more grams of the first acid solution are added to the oily liquid
while the temp. is slowly being raised to 83 C. After this, the temp. is
maintained for 30 minutes.
8. At the end of this period, the solution is allowed to cool to 60 C, and is
held at this temp. for another 30 minutes. The acid is then again drawn off,
leaving once more only the oily liquid at the bottom.
9. Thirty grams of sulfuric acid are added, while the oily liquid is gently
heated to 80 C. All temperature changes must be accomplished slowly and gently.
10. Once the desired temperature is reached, 30 grams of the second solution
are addedEand the temperature is raised from 80 to 104 C, and is held for 3
hours.
11. After the 3 hours, the mixture is lowered to 100 C and is held for 30
minutes.
12. The oil is then removed from the acid and washed in boiling water.
13. While washing with boiling water, the TNT will begin to solidify.
14. When it starts to solidify, cold water is added to the beaker, so that the
TNT will form into pellets.. Once this is done, you have a good quality TNT
which is very stable and can be melted at 82 C.

the party will never know you are
therel so you can screen calls that
way .. work out a code with your
friends who you'll allow to be Black
Boxed, make it so they whistle while
it is ringing or something so you
know it's safe when you pick up to
hit the pushbutton to kill the
ringing. This is very important, if
you DON'T hear the signal, DON'T
black box that call! You can be
nabbed if you mess up.

INTERNAL FREQ'S USED BY THE PHONE COMPANY (BLUE BOX)
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.
In some houses the black and yellow are already wired in others you
will have to go out to your box and rewire it. A good way to figure out which
line is which is to take the phone you are looking for off the hook. Then you
only need to take the red and green wires entering your phone and hook them
to the different pairs of red and green going into the house. You can't hurt
anything in the phone or telephone by probeing. When you find the pair that
you want take the black from your line and attach it to the red of the other
line then take the yellow and attach it to the green line. Now you are all set
to go. For people with rotary phones you can have one person call you then
place the second call out to the other persOn. Though not phreakers tool, the
brown box can be phun.
_______________-END-_________________
Budbox
This is a portable unit. "It is
extremly handy for free voice calls
and tapping a near by house's line.
It's really easy to make so don't
worry about it (unlike a blue box!).
Materials required to build the Bud Box
========= ======== == ===== === === ===
(2) alligator clips
(1) one peice fone or (1) normal fone
(one peice is easier.)
some good wire
(1) soldering iron
some solder
Contruction of the Bud Box:
=========== == === === ====
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 wire are not
colored, no need to get worried. The
two in the middle are red reen.
Those are the two 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 exfone, and one end to an alligator
clip.
4) Go to a near by 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 upwards. 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 exfive screws in this pattern:
* *
f *
f * *
7) The screw in the middle and the
two on the left do nothing. (You may
want to check the two on the left,
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 1 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,
the 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 someones
conversation!) then the line has
probably been disconnected or the fone
is off the hook.
Ideas of use for the Bud Box
===== == === === === === ===
Get ALOT 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 thats going
on 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.).
If you want to have two lines to call
(providing the house that the line is
from is always vacant.), you can just
dial: 444-1787 and you should get a
recording stating what number it is.
To test this, dial the number the
recording says, if it's busy, you're
set.

-=*> HOW TO MAKE A BULB BOMBive:<*=-
THE FIRST WAY...
-=*> BY - VORPAL BLADE <*=-
- MATERIALS -
1) A FEW LIGHT BULBS
2) TORCH (ONE THAT WILL MELT GLASS,
RADIO SHACK SINGLE CYLINDER MODEL.)
3) GASOLINE
4) LIQUID SOAP
5) EPOXY GLUE
f - PROCEDURE -
1) MAKE A HOLE IN THE LIGHT BULB ABOUT
HALF AN INCH BELOW THE METAL PART.
(DON'T MAKE IT ON THE BOTTOM,
BECAUSE IF THE SEAL YOU WILL MAKE
SHOULD BREAK, THE PERSON/ROOM YOU
WANT TO ELIMINATE WILL NOTICE THE
HOLE (THE GASOLINE WILL DRIP ON THE
FLOOR!).
2) NOW, CAREFULLY FILL THE LIGHT BULB
ABOUT HALF FULL WITH GAS, AND THEN
THE REST WITH SOAP (HOLD AT AN ANGLE
IF YOU HAVE TO). NOW, USE THE EPOXY
GLUE AND GLUE THE HOLE SHUT.
3) THIRDLY, TAKE THE EPOXY GLUE AND
GLUE OVER THE HOLE.
4) FINALLY, FIND A LIGHT SOCKET AND
SCREW THE BULB IN. MAKE SURE THE
LIGHT IT OFF. IF IT IS ON, THEN, I
WILL SEND FLOWERS. DON'T TEST IT,

THIS IS AN ANTI-PERSONNEL BOMB MEANT FOR MILLING CROWDS. THE BOTTOM OF A SOFT
DRINK CAN IS HALF CUT OUT AND BENT BACK. A GIANT FIRECRACKER OR OTHER EXPLOSIVE
IS PUT IN AND SURROUNDED WITH NUTS AND BOLTS OR ROCKS. THE FUSE IS THEN ARMED
WITH A CHEMICAL DELAY IN A PLASTIC DRINKING STRAW.
AFTER FIRST MAKING SURE THERE ARE NO CHILDREN NEARBY, THE ACID OR GLYCERINE
IS PUT INTO THE STRAW AND THE CAN IS SET DOWN BY A TREE OR WALL WHERE IT WILL
NOT BE KNOCKED OVER. THE DELAY SHOULD GIVE YOU THREE TO FIVE MINUTES. IT WILL
THEN HAVE A SHATTERING EFFECT ON PASSERBYS.
IT IS HARDLY LIKELY THAT ANYONE WOULD PICK UP AND DRINK FROM SOMEONE ELSE'S

HE WOULD BREAK A NASTY HABIT FAST!

A METAL CAN WITH A PRESS ON LID. EXAMPLES ARE PAINT CANS, OR HERSHEY'S COCO
OR NESTLE'S QUIK CANS. THE NEW PAPER CANS WILL WORK TOO BUT THEY WEAR OUT
FAST. A TANK OF ACETYLENE OR THE ACETYLENE GENERATOR FROM THE PRECEEDING FILE
IN THIS SERIES <FZFF03>.
THE SETUP/ASSEMBLY:-
DRILL OR POKE A SMALL HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOTTOM OF THE METAL CAN
OF 1/16" OR LESS, DIAMETER. DRILL OR POKE A SIMILAR HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
LID OF THE CAN. PUT A PIECE OF WATERPROOF TAPE (LIKE BLACK ELECTRICIANS TAPE)
OVER THE OUTSIDE OF EACH HOLE.
USING IT:-
THE EASIEST WAY TO SAFELY LOAD THE "CANON" IS TO BEGIN BY FILLING IT WITH
WATER AND THEN USING IT IN A COLLECTION TROUGH (LIKE THE ONE SHOWN IN FZFF03;
ACETYLENE GAS). THE BUBBLER TUBE CAN BE CONNECTED TO AN ACETYLENE TANK SUCH
AS ON A WELDERS TORCH, OR THE ACETYLENE GENERATOR OR BAGS OF ACETYLENE FILLED
IN PRINCIPLE:-
ONCE YOU TAKE THE <NOW LOADED> "CANON" TO WHERE YOU WANT TO USE IT, BY
SETTING THE CAN ON SOMETHING THAT WILL KEEP IT OFF THE GROUND AND IS
VENTILLATED UNDERNEATH, COUNTDOWN CAN BE STARTED. REMOVE THE TAPE FROM BOTH
HOLES. SINCE ACETYLENE I_IGHTER THAN AIR, AIR WILL BEGIN ENTERING THE BOTTOM
HOLE AS ACETYLENE FLOATS OUT THE TOP. THE FLOW IS JUST ABOUT RIGHT TO MAKE A
LANTERN FLAME ABOVE THE EXIT HOLE AT THE TOP. PROMPTLY LIGHT THE TOP HOLE OF
THE CAN AND AND GET BACK, DELIBERATELY, AS YOU WILL HAVE SEVERAL MINUTES TO
WAIT. (THE TIME DEPENDS ON THE SIZE OF THE CAN YOU USE AND THE SIZE OF THE
PINHOLES YOU PUT IN IT.)
AT THC BEGINNING, THE CAN CONTAINS AND VENTS ONLY ACETYLENE SO THAT ONLY
ABOVE THE CAN CAN IT GET ENOUGH AIR TO BURN, AND ONLY THE GAS WHICH HAS EXITE
IS FLAMABLE. AS AIR COMES IN THE BOTTOM, THOUGH, IT BEGINS TO MIX WITH THE
GAS INSIDE THE CAN SO THAT THE MIXTURE BECOMES INCREASINGLY ACTIVATED WITH
OXYGEN. EVENTUALLY THE AIR LEVEL WILL REACH ITS FLASH RATIO, AND THE FLAME FROM
THE TOP OF THE CAN WILL MOVE DOWN INSIDE, IGNITING ALL THE ACETYLENE THAT
REMAINS INSIDE THE CAN AT ONCE, AND THE "CANON" GOES OFF.
FIRING PHILOSOPHIES:-
STRAIGHT OFF YOU WILL SEE THAT YOU HAVE A CHOICE OF SETTING OFF THE SHOT
WITH THE LID UP (TO SHOOT THE LID) OR THE LID DOWN (TO SHOOT THE CAN) INTO THE
AIR. ALSO, BECAUSE THE FUSE FLAME IS SENSITIVE TO WIND, YOU MAY WANT TO
FASHION A CHIMNEY (OR "BARREL") OUT OF ANOTHER CAN, A ROLL OF LINOLEUM OR
FORMICA, OR A LENGTH OF PVC PIPE OF SUITABLE DIAMETER. THIS HAS TWO ADDITIONAL
ADVANTAGES BEYOND KEEPING THE FLAME LIGHTED, IN THAT IT DRAMATICALLY ENHANCES
THE BOOM, BUT ALSO IMPROVES YOUR CONTROL OVER THE DIRECTION OF THE PROJECTILE
EJECTED.
BY LOADING MANY CANISTERS WITH THEIR HOLES TAPED, BEFORE HAND, YOU THEN
HAVE YOURSELF AN EASY RELOADER, CARTRIDGE FASHION.
ANOTHER VARIATION IS TO PUT THE PINHOLES ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE METAL
CAN AND THEN MOUNTING IT IN THE "BARREL" HORIZONTALLY. IN THIS CASE, A
BACKSTOP IS NEEDED AND THE CHIMNEY CANNOT BE PART OF THE "BARREL".
SOME OF MY BEST SHOTS HAVE BEEN 5 GAL ICE CREAM CARTON OR HAT BOX ONE-
SHOTTERS, FILLED DRY FROM AN ACETYLENE TANK AT A WIDE SETTING. BECAUSE OF THE
UNCERTAINTY OF THIS FILL METHOD, THESE CANONS WERE LIT WITH SPARKLERS ON THE
END OF A 12 FOOT POLE.
THIS KIND OF CANON READILY LENDS ITSELF TO LOUDNESS, ALTITUDE AND
DISTANCE COMPETITIONS, SINCE IT'S ALL HAND MADE.

f THANKS TO: ZANGIN
THE FOLLOWING IS THE LOGIN PROCEDURE TO LOGIN TO A C.B.I. SYSTEM,
A FEW C.B.I. LOGIN PORT NUMBERS, INFORMATION ON THE SYSTEM, AND OBTAIN C.B.I.
ACCOUNTS.
*** HOW TO GET CBI INFORMATION ***
OK, YOU CAN GET CBI ACCOUNTS AND CBI PRINTOUTS AT YOUR LOCAL MALL.
THE BEST PLACES TO CHECK ARE: INSURANCE PLACES, LAWYERS, DOCTORS, AND CAR
DEALERSHIPS, AND CHECK SOME PLACES IN THE MALL THAT MIGHT HAVE TO CHECK A
PERSON'S CREDIT. TRASH IN THEIR DUMPSTER LOOKING FOR PRINTOUTS. MOST PLACES
BUFFER CAPTURE THEIR WHOLE CALL TO CBI INCLUDING THE NUMBER, EVERYTHING ON
BUFFER, IT'S BETTER THAN CHRISTMAS. OK, SO LOOK OBTAIN THESE CBI PRINTOUTS
AND CRUISE HOME TO THE OLD COMPUTER.
*** WHAT YOU NEED ***
THE NEXT STEP SHOULD BE, OBTAIN A DRIVERS LICENSE OR SOME OTHER FORM
OF ID THAT CONTAINS A PERSON'S NAME, ADDRESS, AND SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER. IF
YOU DO NOT HAVE THIS, YOU CAN'T GET SHIT, YOU DEFINITELY NEED THEIR SOCIAL
SECURITY NUMBER FOR THIS. THE BEST THING TO DO IS GO CASING (* CHECK OTHER
X ORGANIZATION FILES ON CASING *) AND STEAL A WALLET CONTAINING A DRIVERS
LICENSE.
*** STEPS TO ACCESSING CBI ***
SECONDLY, YOU SHOULD EXAMINE THE WHOLE PRINTOUT, AND MAKE SURE YOU
CAN READ EVERYTHING ON THE PRINTOUT, YOU DON'T WANT TO FUCK IT UP, BE AS
EFFICIENT AS POSSIBLE, EVEN THOUGH CBI DOES ALLOW YOU TO MAKE SOME MISTAKES
BEFORE IT DISCONNECTS.
*** LOGIN TO CBI ***
NOW, YOU SHOULD HAVE EVERYTHING SET OUT NEXT TO YOU FOR QUICK ONLINE
REFERENCE. DIAL THE NUMBER AT 300 BPS, E, 7, 1. CHECK ON THE PRINTOUT IF THE
CBI PORT HAS MORE THAN 300 BAUD, IT JUST MIGHT. IF YOU CANNOT FIND A LOCAL
PORT FOR CBI TRY 1-800-624-1395. NOTE: EVERYTHING IN < > IS ME MAKING A NOTE.

TwdeaI.l blm a .B.I. lort nu infoion the system, and obtain C.B.I.
accounts.
*** HOW TO GET CBI INFORMATION ***
Ok, you can get CBI accounts and CBI printouts at your local mall.
The best places to check are: Insurance Places, Lawyers, Doctors, and Car
Dealerships, and check some places in the mall that might have to check a
person's credit. Trash in their dumpsteng forouts. places
buffecaptheir whole call to CBI including the number, everything on
buffer, it's better than christmas. Ok, so look obtain these CBI printouts
and cruise home to the old computer.
*** WHAT YOU NEED ***
The next step should be, obtain a drivers license or some other form
of ID that contains a person's name, address, and social security number. If
you do not have this, you can't get shit, you definitely need their social
security number for this. The best thing to do is go casing (* check other
X Organization files on casing *) and steal a wallet containing a drivers
license.
*** STEPS TO ACCESSING CBI ***
Secondly, you should examine the whole printout, and make sure you
can read everything on the printout, you don't want to fuck it up, be as
efficient as possible, even though CBI does allow you to make some mistakes
before it disconnects.
*** LOGIN TO CBI ***
Now, you should have everything set out next to you for quick online
reference. Dial the number at 300 BPS, E, 7, 1. Check on the printout if the
CBI port has more than 300 Baud, it just might. If you cannot find a local
port for CBI try 1-800-624-1395. Note: everything inive:< > is me making a note.

- Cheese Box Info -
----------------------------------------
A Cheesebox(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 Dy the cops or having their
numbers traced and/or tapped......
How To Make A Modern Cheese Box
Ingredients:
1 Call Forwarding service on the
line
1 Set of Red Box Tones
The number to your prefix's
Intercept operator(do some scanning
for this one)
How To:
After you find the number to the
intercept operator in your prefix,
use your ome scanning
for this one)
How To:
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 foD 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 theD do not check
he quarter dropping
in...then,you can make phone calls to
people...as far as I know, this is
fairly safe, and theD do not check
much...Although I
am not sure, I think you can even make
credit card calls from a cheesebox
phone and not get traced.

Clear Box Plans
The clear box is a new device which has just been invented that can be used
throughout Canada and rural United States. The clear box works on "Post-Pay"
payphones (fortress fones). Those are the payphones that dont require payment
until after the connection is established. You pick up the fone, get
a dial tone, dial your number, and then insert your money after the person
answers.If you dont deposit the money then you can not speak to the person on
the other end- because your mouth piece is cut off, but, not the ear piece.
(obviously these phones are nice for free calls to weather or time or
other such recordings).All you must do is to go to your nearby Radio Shack, or
electronics store,and get a four-transistor amplifier and a
telephone suction cup induction pick-up. The induction pick-up would be
hooked up as it normally would to record a conversation, except that it
would be plugged into the out-
put of the amplifier and a microphone would be hooked to the input. So when
the party that is being called answers, the caller could speak through the
little microphone instead. His voice then goes through the amplifier and out
the induction coil, and into the back of the reciever where it would then be
broadcast through the phone lines and the other party would be able to hear
the caller. The Clear Box thus 'clears up' the problem of not being heard.
Luckily, the line will not be cut-off after a certain amount of time because
it will wait forever for the coins to be put in.The biggest advantage for all
of us about this new clear box is the exfact that this type of payphone will most likely become very common.
Due to a few things: 1st, it is a cheap way of getting the DTF,dial-tone-first
service, 2nd, it doesnt require any special equipment, (for the phone
company)This payphone will work on any phone line. Ususally a payphone line is
different, but this is a regular phone line and it is set up so the phone
does all the charging, not the company.
This file was not meant to teach you how to use The CNA dept., but to be
helpful in the uses of CNA bullshiting, alot of times no pin is even requested exfrom the person at The customer name and address desk, but if it is requested

->HOW TO RIP OFF A CHANGE MACHINE<-
-----------------------------------
SO YA NEED MONEY, AND YA NEED IT
FAST!? WELL HERE IS A FAST AND EASY
WAY TO CHANGE YOUR NICKELS AND DIMES
INTO QUARTERS!
HERE'S THE EQUIPMENT THAT YOU NEED
ACCESS TO IN A FAIRLY SECLUDED AREA:
1) A COPY MACHINE THAT IS OF FAIRLY
GOOD QUALITY.. (THE ONES AT MY
COLLEGE ARE SHITTY, BUT THEY WORK
ANYWAY...)
2) A CHANGE MACHINE THAT CHANGES 1'S
AND 5'S TO QUARTERS.
3) A 1 OR 5 DOLLAR BILL
4) A TABLE PAPER CUTTER THAT CUTS PAPER
EXACTLY STRAIGHT.
5) A LOT OF COURAGE!
OK WHAT YOU DO IS WALK INTO THE PLACE
AND COPY THE FACE SIDE OF YOUR DOLLAR.
PUT THE DOLLAR BILL FACE DOWN AND IN
THE EXACT MIDDLE OF THE MACHINE'S
WINDOW. THE FIRST TIME YOU DO THIS,
ONLY MAKE ONE COPY, BECAUSE IT MIGHT
NOT WORK CORRECTLY. WHEN YOU GET YOUR
COPIED DOLLAR BILL FROM THE MACHINE,
CHECK THE TONER AND MAKE SURE THAT IT
IS JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL. IF ITS TOO
DARK OR TOO LIGHT, THEN ADJUST THE COPY
MACHINE ACCORDINGLY. WHEN YOU GET A
PERFECTLY CONTRASTED DOLLAR, TAKE IT
OVER TO THE PAPER CUTTER AND PUT THE
ORIGINAL DOLLAR OVER THE PAPER DOLLAR
AND SLICE THE DOLLAR OUT OF THE BIG
PIECE OF PAPER. NOW FOR THE PHUN PART.
MAKE SURE THAT THCRE ARE NO HIDDEN
CAMERAS IN THE ROOM WATCHING YOU, OR
YOU'LL BE CAUGHT FOR SURE!!!!!!!!!!
WALK UP TO THE CHANGE MACHINE AND
CASUALLY SLIDE THE DOLLAR BILL INTO
THE MACHINE AND PUSH THE CARRIAGE
OR WHATEVER IN. IF THE DOLLAR COMES
BACK OUT THEN TAKE IT, RIP IT IN HALF
AND PUT IT IN YOUR POCKET. THROW IT
AWAY SOMEPLACE ELSE. BUT IF THE
JINGLING JOY OF QUARTERS COMES, YOU

HOW TO START YOUR OWN CONFERENCES!
BLACK BART SHOWED HOW TO START A CONFERENCE CALL THRU AN 800 EXCHANGE, AND I
WILL NOW EXPLAIN HOW TO START A CONFERENCE CALL IN A MORE ORTHODOX FASHIO, THE
2600 HZ. TONE.
FIRSTLY, THE FONE COMPANY HAS WHAT IS CALLED SWITCHING SYSTEMS. THERE ARE SE
VERAL TYPES, BUT THC ONE WE WILL CONCERN OURSELVES WITH, IS ESS (ELECTRONIC
SWITCHING SYSTEM). IF YOUR AREA IS ZONED FOR ESS, DO NOT START A CONFERENCE
CALL VIA THE 2600 HZ. TONE, OR BELL SECURITY WILL NAIL YOUR ASS! TO FND OUT IF
YOU ARE UNDER ESS, CALL YOUR LOCAL BUSINESS OFFICE, AND ASK THEM IF YOU CAN GET
CALL WAITING/FORWARDING, AND IF YOU CAN, THAT MEANS THAT YOU ARE IN ESS COUNTRY
, AND CONFERENCE CALLING IS VERY, VERY DANGEROUS!!! NOW, IF YOU ARE NOT IN ESS,
YOU WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING EQUIPMENT:
AN APPLE CAT II MODEM
A COPY OF TSPS 2 OR CAT'S MEOW
A TOUCH TONE FONE LINE
AND A TOUCH TONE FONE. (TRUE TONE)
LISTEN WITH YOUR HANDSET, AND AS SOON AS YOU HEAR A LOUD 'CLICK', THEN TYPE
$
TO GENERATE THE 2600 HZ. TONE. THIS OBNOXIOUS TONE WILL CONTINUE FOR A FEW
SECONDS, THEN LISTEN AGAIN AND YOU SHOULD HEAR ANOTHER LOUD 'CLICK'.
NOW TYPE:
KM2130801050S
WHERE 'K' = KP TONE
'M' = MULTI FREQUENCY MODE
'S' = S TONE
NOW LISTEN TO THE HANDSET AGAIN, AND WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR THE 'CLICK' AGAIN.
THEN TYPE:
KM2139752975S
WHERE 2139751975 IS THE NUMBER TO BILL THE CONFERENCE CALL TO. NOTE: 213-975-
1975 IS A DISCONNECTED NUMBER, AND I STRONGLY ADVISE THAT YOU ONLY BILL THE
CALL TO THIS NUMBER, OR THE FONE COMPANY WILL FIND OUT, AND THEN..........
REMEBER, CONFERENCE CALLS ARE ITEMIZED, SO IF YOU DO BILL IT TO AN ENEMY'S NUMB
ER, HE CAN EASILY FIND OUT WHO DID IT AND HE CAN BUST YOU!
YOU SHOULD NOW HEAR 3 BEEPS, AND A SHORT PRE-RECORDED MESSAGE. FROM HERE ON,
EVERYTHING IS ALL MENU DRIVEN.
CONFERENCE CALL COMMANDS
---------- ---- --------
FROM THE '#' MODE:
1 = CALL A NUMBER
6 = TRANSFER CONTROL
7 = HANGS UP THE CONFERENCE CALL
9 = WILL CALL A CONFERENCE OPERATR
STAY AWAY FROM 7 AND 9! IF FOR SOME REASON AN OPERATOR GETS ON-LINE,
HANG UP! IF YOU GET A BUSY SIGNAL AFTER KM2130801050S, THAT MEANS THAT THE
TELECONFEREN CING LINE IS TEMPORARILY DOWN. TRY LATER, PREFERRABLY FROM 9AM TO
5PM WEEK DAYS, SINCE CONFERENCE CALLS ARE PRIMARILY DESIGNED FOR BUSINESS
PEOPLE.

HOWDY. WELL, THIS IS MY FIRST CDC FILE I'VE WRITTEN IN AWHILE SINCE I'VE
BEEN AWAY AND TOYING AROUND WITH ALOT OF NEW IDEAS AND STUFF OF THAT MATTER.
BY THE WAY, THIS SHOULD ONLY BE DONE BY REAL AND EXPERIENCED HACKERS LIKE
MYSELF AND TEQUILA WILLY! DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!! ANYWAY, ON WITH THE FILE.
THE STORY BEHIND IT ALL
=======================
WELL, TODAY I WAS OUT WITH MY GIRLFRIEND AT THC LIBRARY, YES, I WANTED TO
PICK UP A COPY OF HYDE'S 'THE PHONE BOOK' (A BOOK ABOUT TELEPHONE FRAUD AND
BOXING AND OTHER NEATO THINGS). WELL, TO CONTINUE WITH MY ACTION PACKED
EXCITEMENT, I NOTICED THAT THC LIBRARY STILL HAS THE OLD CARD CATALOG, BUT IT
NOW HAS COMPUTER-OPERATED CATALOGS. IT'S RUN ON A DIGITAL-VT1200 COMPUTER
(I THINK THAT'S WHAT IT'S CALLED), THE SYSTEM SORT OF RESEMBLED UNIX IN A WAY.
ANmiliWAY, I WAS FIDDLING WITH THE COMPUTER AND PLAYED WITH IT FOR AT LEAST 15
MINUTES. THIS BITCHY LADY CAME OVER AND TOLD ME TO 'STOP MESSING WITH THE
DAMN COMPUTERS!!' I REPLIED 'FUCK YOU, I'M LOOKING FOR A BOOK!' SHE WALKED
AWAY IN DISGUST. A SINISTER SMILE CAME UPON MY LIPS AND MY FINGERS BLAZED
AWAY AT THE KEYS. I TRIED EVERYTHING FOR 10 MINUTES LIKE SYSTEM, COM, BOX,
CARD, AND EVEN HACKER (I WAS DESPERATE!). SO I JUST TYPED IN MUMBO-JUMBO
FOR LIKE 10 MINUTES AND THEN I JUST TYPED IN DOS. THE SCREEN FLICKERED, IT
READ:
CAMDEN COUGTY LIBRARY SYSTEM
f 1. MENION DATABASE
2. INFOTRON DATABASE
PLEASE SELECT A NEW DATABASE. YOU ARE CURRENTLY CONNECTED TO MENION.
>> 2 (IS WHAT I TYPED)
INFOTRON DATABASE IS UNAVAILABLE. SORRY.
IT THEN RETURNED TO THE MAIN MENU WHERE I SHOULD SELECT A BOOK. I TYPED
DOS AGAIN, WENT BACK, BUT THIS TIME I TYPED:
>> 2,99E99 (1 MORE THAN THE LARGEST NUMBER A SMALL-COMPUTER CAN HANDLE)
IT PRINTED:
FATAL ERROR! SYSTEM ERROR!
ERROR IN LINE 10200, OFF.
THEN THE WHOLE SYSTEM FROZE UP. THE BITCHYnougheDY WALKED OVER AGAIN AND Y CANLED
AT ME AGAIN. I PLAYED DUMB, 'DUH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I DID!' SHE DEMANDED THAT
I MOVE TO ANOTHER TERMINAL (BY THE WAY, THE LIBRARY IS EQUIPPED WITH 9
TERMINALS AT 3 TABLES PER FLOOR, THAT'S 27 ACCESSABLE TERMINALS PER FLOOR!
YES, I CAN MULTIPLY!!) SO I OBLIDGED AND MOVED TO ANOTHER TERMINAL. I WATCHED
HER FIDDLE AND FUCK WITH THE FUCKED-UP TERMINAL FOR 10-15 MINUTES. SHE DID
EVERYTHING. TURNED IT ON/OFF, SLAPPED IT, BANGED IT, EVERYTHING. THEN SHE
PUT AN 'OUT OF ORDER' SIGN ON IT. SO I FUCKED UP THE COMPUTER I WAS ON, THEN
DID 3 OTHERS, THEN MOVED TO THE NEXT FLOOR.
HOW TO DO IT: A RUN DOWN
========================
AT >> ON THE SELECT BOOen,/AUTHOR/CARD # MENU TYPE 'DOS'
AT >> ON THE DATABASE ENTRY MENU TYPE '2,99E99'
THEN SIT BACK AND WATCH THE FUN.
TERMINALS
=========
THESE TERMINALS WERE JUST MONITORS AND KEYBOARDS, NO PROCESSOR, NOTHING. IT
WAS OBVIO.SLY CONNECTED TO AnougheRGER MAINFRAME WITHIN THE BUILDING. I SUSPECT
IF YOU MESS WITH THE TERMINALS MORE YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO EXIT TO DOS, CRASH
IT PERMANENTLY, DIAL OUT VIA THERE MODEM SOMEWHERE, OR SEND NEAT0 MESSAGES TO
OTHER TERMINALS WITHIN THE BUILDING. HAVE FUN WITH THIS.

OK. THE '/X/X/' IS THE RESISTOB. AND '1 2 3' IS THE SWITCH WHERE THE NUMBERS
ARE THE POLES ON THE SWITCH. NOTICE YOU
LEAVE THE BLACK AND Y CANLOW 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 FOLLOV 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 PHONE. IF ALL YOU GET IS AN ANNOYING BUZZ THEN THROW THE
SWITCH AND YOU SHOULD GET A DIAL TONE.
IF NOT, DON'T GORRY AND JUST FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND SCHEMATIC AGAIN.

OK.... IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN IN AN ELEVATOR BEFORE, YOU'VE SEEN THAT RIGHT
UNDER THE ELEVATOR FLOOR CONTROL-PANEL THERE'S A TELEPHONE. NOW,IF YOU'VE SEEN
THESE BEFORE YOU'VE PROBABLY ALREADY WONDERED ABOUT THEM OR HAVE EVEN USED/TRIED
TO USE THEM.
MOST (97.3%) OF THE ELEVATOR PHONES HAVE LITTLE OR NO
PROTECTION SO TO BE ABLE TO CALL OUT FROM THEM ALL YOU NEED
TO DO IS DIAL THE NUMBER AND SOMETIMES YOU MIGHT NEED TO DIAL
A 9 OR POUND BEFORE HAND.
THE OTHER 2.7%(WHICH YOU'LL PROBABLY NEVER RUN INTO) CAN EITHER BE: a.
ONLY BE USED TO CALL THE FRONT DESK. B. ONLY BE USED TO CALL THE FRONT DESK
UNLESS A 4 DIGIT CODE IS PUNCHED IN BEFORE-HAND. C. ONLY BE USED TO CALL 911.
NOW IF YOU ARE SO UNLUCKY AS TO FIND ONE THAT IS PART OF THE 2.7% MINORITY
THEN YOU'VE GOT A 1 IN 3 CHANCE THAT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO HACK IT....

$ ANOTHER ORIGINAL PHILE BY: $
$ $
$$$$$$$$$$$$-=>LEX LUTHOR<=-$$$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
OF ALL THE NEW 1960S WONDERS OF TELEPHONE TECHNOLOGY -
SATELLITES, ULTRA MODERN TRAFFIC SERVICE POSITIONS (TSPS) FOR
OPERATORS, THE PICTUREPHONE, AND SO ON - THE ONE THAT GAVE BELL
LABS THE MOST TROUBLE, AND UNEXPECTEDLY BECAME THE GREATEST
DEVELOPMENT EFFORT IN BELL SYSTEM'S HISTORY, WAS THE PERFECTION
OF AN ELECTRONIC SWITCHING SYSTEM, OR ESS.
IT MAY BE RECALLED THAT SUCH A SYSTEM WAS THE SPECIFIC END IN
VIEW WHEN THE PROJECT THAT HAD CULMINATED IN THE INVENTION OF THE
TRANSISTOR HAD BEEN LAUNCHED BACK IN THE 1930S. AFTER SUCCESSFUL
ACCOMPLISHMENT OF THAT PLANNED MIRACLE IN 1947-48, FURTHER DELAYS
WERE BROUGHT ABOUT BY FINANCIAL STRINGENCY AND THE NEED FOR
FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THE TRANSISTOR ITSELF. IN THE EARLY 1950S,
A LABS TEAM BEGAN SERIOUS WORK ON ELECTRONIC SWITCHING. AS EARLY
AS 1955, WESTERN ELECTRIC BECAME INVOLVED WHEN FIVE ENGINEERS
FROM THE HAWTHORNE WORKS WERE ASSIGNED TO COLLABORATE WITH THE
LABS ON THE PROJECT. THE PRESIDENT OF AT&T IN 1956, WROTE
CONFIDENTLY, "AT BELLnougheBS, DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEW ELECTRONIC
SWITCHING SYSTEM IS GOING FULL SPEED AHEAD. WE ARE SURE THIS WILL
LEAD TO MANY IMPROVEMENTS IN SERVICE AND ALSO TO GREATER
EFFICIENCY. THE FIRST SERVICE TRIAL WILL START IN MORRIS, ILL.,
IN 1959." SHORTLY THEREAFTER, KAPPEL SAID THAT THE COST OF THE
WHOLE PROJECT WOULD PROBABLY BE $45 MILLION.
BUT IT GRADUALLY BECAME APPARENT THAT THE DEVELOPEMENT OF A
COMMERCIALLY USABLE ELECTRONIC SWITCHING SYSTEM - IN EFFECT, A
COMPUTERIZED TELEPHONE EXCHANGE - PRESENTED VASTLY GREATER
TECHNICAL PROBLEMS THAN HAD BEEN ANTICIPATED, AND THAT,
ACCORDINGLY, BELLnLABS HAD VASTLY UNDERESTIMATED BOTH THE TIME
AND THE INVESTMENT NEEDED TO DO THE JOB. THE YEAR 1959 PASSED
WITHOUT THC PROMISED FIRST TRIAL AT MORRIS, ILLINOIS; IT WAS
FINALLY MADE IN NOVEMBER 1960, AND QUICKLY SHOWED HOW MUCH MORE
WORK REMAINED TO BE DONE. E DIRIME DRAGGED ON AND COSTS MOUNTED,
THERE WAS A CONCERN AT AT&T AND SOMETHING APPROACHING PANIC AT
BELLnLABS. BUT THC PROJECT HAD TO GO FORWARD; BY THIS TIME THE
INVESTMENT WAS TOO GREAT TO BE SACRIFICED, AND IN ANY CASE,
FORWARD PROJECTIONS OF INCREASED DEMAND FOR TELEPHONE SERVICE
INDICATED THAT WITHIN A PHEW YEARS A TIME WOULD COME WHEN,
WITHOUT THE QUANTUM LEAP IN SPEED AND FLEXIBILITY THAT ELECTRONIC
SWITCHING WOULD PROVIDE, THE NATIONAL NETWORK WOULD BE UNABLE TO
MEET THE DEMAND. IN NOVEMBER 1963, AN ALL-ELECTRONIC SWITCHING
SYSTEM WENT INTO USE AT THE BROWN ENGINEERING COMPANY AT COCOA
BEACH, FLORIDA. BUT THIS WAS A SMALL INSTALLATION, ESSENTIALLY
ANOTHER TEST INSTALLATION, SERVING ONLY A SINGLE COMPANY.
KAPPEL'S TONE ON THE SUBJECT IN THE 1964 ANNUAL REPORT WAS, FOR
HIM, AN ALMOST APOLOGETIC: "ELECTRONIC SWITCHING EQUIPMENT MUST
BE MANUFACTURED IN VOLUME TO UNPRECEDENTED STANDARDS OF
RELIABILITY.... TO TURN OUT THE EQUIPMENT ECONOMICALLY AND WITH
GOOD SPEED, MASS PRODUCTION METHODS MUST BE DEVELOPED; BUT, AT
THE SAME TIME, THERE CAN BE NO LOSS OF PRECISION..." ANOTHER YEAR
