Of course, you could be a beginning phreak and use this phile to B.S. your way into a big group by acting like you know a lot, or something, but that is up to you. Anyway, I compiled this listing phrom various sources, the majority is listed as references at the end of this phile. This phile's only goal is to educate and inform. Any illegal or fraudulent activity is neither encouraged nor supported by the author of this phile, not by the majority of the >TRUE< phreaking community. The author assumes NO responsibility for the actions of the reader. Also, I know that some of the stuff covered in this release of TPH will be old and outdated; however, I will try to clean that up by the next release of TPH, and will notify you, the reader, of the changes due to these revisions. [Phile 1.3] The Phreak's Vitals: ==================== True Definition Of The Phreaker ------------------------------- "Many people think of phone phreaks as slime, out to rip off Bell for all she is worth. Nothing could be further from the truth! Granted, there are some who get their kicks by making free calls; however, they are not true phone phreaks. Real phone phreaks are 'telecommunications hobbyists' who experiment, play with, and learn from the phone system. Occasionally, this experimenting and a need to communicate with other phreaks, without going broke, leads to free calls. The free calls are but a small subset of a >TRUE< phone phreak's activities." - Wise Words Of The Magician The Phone Phreak's Ten Commandments ----------------------------------- I. Box thou not over thine home telephone wires, for those who doest will surely bring the wrath of the Chief Special Agent down upon thy head. II. Speakest thou not of important matters over thine home telephone wires, for to do so is to risk thine right of freedom. III. Use not thine own name when speaking to other phreaks, for that every third phreak is an FBI agent is well known. IV. Let not overly many people know that thy be a phreak, as to do so is to use thine own self as a sacrificial lamb. V. If thou be in school, strive to get thine self good grades, for the authorities well know that scholars never break the law. VI. If thou workest, try to be an employee and impressest thine boss with thine enthusiasm, for important employees are often saved by their own bosses. VII. Storest thou not thine stolen goodes in thine own home, for those who do are surely non-believers in the Bell System Security Forces, and are not long for this world. VIII. Attractest thou not the attention of the authorities, as the less noticeable thou art, the better. IX. Makest sure thine friends are instant amnesiacs and willst not remember thou hast called illegally, for their cooperation with the authorities willst surely lessen thine time for freedom on this earth. X. Supportest thou TAP, as it is thine newsletter, and without it, thy work would be far more limited. [Phile 1.4] The Phreaker's Glossary ======================= 1XB - No.1 Crossbar system. See XBAR for more information. 2600 - A hack/phreak oriented newsletter that periodically was released and still is being released.

See ESS for more information. 800 Services - Also known as WATS. These services often contain WATS extenders which, when used with a code, may be used to call LD. Many LD companies use these services because they are toll-free to customers. Most 800 extenders are considered dangerous because most have the ability to trace. 900 Services - Numbers in the 900 SAC usually are used as special services, such as TV polls and such. These usually are $.50 for the first minute and $.35 for each additional minute. Dial (900)555-1212 to find out what the 900 services currently have to offer. 950 - A nationwide access exchange in most areas. Many LD companies have extenders located somewhere on this exchange; however, all services on this exchange are considered dangerous due to the fact that they ALL have the ability to trace. Most 950 services have crystal clear connections. ACCS - Automated Calling Card Service. The typical 0+NPA+Nxx+xxxx method of inputting calling cards and then you input the calling card via touch tones. This would not be possible without ACTS. ACD - Automatic Call Distributor. ACD Testing Mode - Automatic Call Distributor Test Mode. This level of phreaking can be obtained by pressing the "D" key down after calling DA. This can only be done in areas that have the ACD. The ACD Testing Mode is characterized by a pulsing dial tone. From here, you can get one side of a loop by dialing 6, the other side is 7. You may also be able to REMOB a line. All possibilities of the ACD Test have not been experimented with. See silver box for more details. ACTS - Automated Coin Toll Service. This is a computer system that automates phortress fone service by listening for red box tones and takes appropriate action. It is this service that is commonly heard saying, "Two dollars please. Please deposit two dollars for the next three minutes." Also, if you talk for more than three minutes and then hang up, ACTS will call back and demand your money. ACTS is also responsible for ACCS. Alliance - A teleconferencing system that is apart from AT&T which allows the general public to access and use its conferencing equipment.
