Well, here's a new phreaking/hacking group for all you dedicated phreaks
out there. In this newsletter I will try to explain the purpose of our little
group here. The first thing I want to get across is I DO NOT support people
who just go out and hack a board for no reason, although I do support hacking
a board to `get back' at someone who either attempted to hack your bbs, or
refused you access to their bbs for no apparent reason (Try to straighten this
out whith the sysop first though, because I being a sysop know what it's like
to get a user that gives incorrect information (mainly phone number, if I get
a users REAL phone number that's usually enough for me, if the name's wrong, I
usually don't care, same for adress, and I figure that as long as their honest
enough to give that they can have access, and I think most other sysop's feel
the same way as I do)), that's about all I have to say about hacking, now...as
for phreaking...I SUPPORT ALL FORMS. Whith that I now introduce you our first
newsletter.

-----------------------------EDITOR'S COLUMN---------------------------------
OK, the reason I'm here is to help get this P.A. technical newsletter
going fast! I am the one who makes the little 'edits' etc to make this thing
look professional. If you are a member of P.A., I have included a sample
phile in this newsletter, to show U how-to lay out your txt's. That's right,
you can make a .txt phile, and U/L it to the P.A. home base, to submit for
publishing. If it's good, then it gets published! Simple as that! But
remember, these philes must be made by U, and not just another txt that you
found lying around.
As for what was said above, I also have the same viewpoint. Don't use
the info in this guide just for phun, & don't use it for a joke. But it is
here, for your knowledge, nonetheless.
If you do plan to submit a phile for publishing, you must learn how to
get access to P.A.'s phreaking section, and also leave us a message stating
that you want it to appear in a future issue of P.A.
Well, that about sums it all up for now. Be sure to D/L future issues of
this phile for your use...
Now... On To The PHUN!.....

++++++++++++++++++++++++++Last Words of The Mentor+++++++++++++++++++++++
Another one got caught today, it's all over the papers. "Teenager
Arrested in Computer Crime Scandal", "Hacker Arrested after Bank
Tampering"... Damn kids. They're all alike. But did you, in your three-
piece psychology and 1950's technobrain, ever take a look behind the
eyes of the hacker? Did you ever wonder what made him tick, what forces
shaped him, what may have molded him? I am a hacker, enter my world...
Mine is a world that begins with school... I'm smarter than most of the
other kids, this crap they teach us bores me... Damn underachiever.
They're all alike. I'm in junior high or high school. I've listened to
teachers explain for the fifteenth time how to reduce a fraction.
I understand it. "No, Ms. Smith, I didn't show my work. I did it in
my head..." Damn kid. Probably copied it. They're all alike.
I made a discovery today. I found a computer. Wait a secound, this is
cool. It does what I want it to. if it makes a mistake, it's because I
screwed it up. Not because it doesn't like me... Or feels threatened by
me.. Or thinks I'm a smart ass.. Or doesn't like teaching and shouldn't be
here... Damn kid. All he does is play games. They're all alike. And then
it happened... a door opened to a world... rushing through the phone line
like heroin through an addict's veins, an electronic pulse is sent out,
a refuge from the day-to-day incompetencies is sought... a board is found.
"this is it... this is where I belong..." I know everyone here... even
if I've never met them, never talked to them, may never hear from them
again... I know you all... Damn kid. Tying up the phone line again.
They're all alike... You bet your ass we're all alike... we've been
spoon-fed baby food at school when we hungered for steak... the bits of
meat that you did let slip through were pre-chewed and tasteless.
We've been dominated by sadists, or ignored by the apathetic. The few
that had something to teach found us willing pupils, but those few are
like drops of water in the desert.
This is our world now... the world of the electron and the switch. the
beauty of the baud. We make use of a service already existing without
paying for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn't run by profiteering
gluttons, and you call us criminals. We explore... and you call us
criminals. We seek after knowledge... and you call us criminals. We
exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias...
and you call us criminals. You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you
murder, cheat, and lie to us ant try to make us believe it's for our
own good, yet we're the criminals.
Yes, I am a criminal, My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is
that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like.
My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never
forgive me for. I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto. You may stop
this individual,but you can't stop us all... after all, we're all alike.

PURPOSE:
The purpose of making a beige box is to be able to make LD
calls from somewhere else besides your house. This can be done by
getting into that little box outside most houses. The main part of
this is making your modifiable fone into a fone that acts like a
lineman's handset. Beige boxing involves tresspassing, wiretapping
& several other illegal things. So before you decide if it is
right for U, read this article, and then you can make up your mind.
You will learn how to do this & more, in this article, so READ ON!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
REQUIRED MATERIALS:
1 -- Fone, ONE Piece!
2 -- Aligator Clips
1 -- Wire Stripper
1 -- Soldering Iron & Solder
1 -- Electrical Tape
2 -- Screwdrivers (Flat & Phillips, just in case!)
1 -- Pair Of Gloves
1 -- Some Fone Wire
1 -- Flashlight
1 -- Modular Jack (female) Is Helpful!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
PROCEDURE:
I think that is all the stuff that U will need... don't hold
me to that, but that should be MORE than enuff. A Lineman's
Handset is REAL helpful, but most likely you won't have one (trust
me--U don't.) So here is how to make 1 out of your one piece,
modifiable fone:
OK, get out your phone wire. If it has a plug on both ends (most
likely), then cut off the one end. Now strip off about 2 inches of
the insulation (if present). Ok, you will see four wires, 1 green,
1 red, 1 yellow, & 1 black. Ignore the yellow & the black, U don't
need them for this project. Instead, look at the red & the green.
Using those wire strippers, strip off about an inch or so of the
red & green wires. Now, using that soldering iron, solder the two
wires each to their own alligator clip... remember which clip is
green, and which one is red! If you can get some colored alligator
clips, then that is helpful. Anyway, after soldering them, let it
cool (a minute or so). Now, wrap the solder joint with some of
that electrical tape.
Take the other end of the wire, and plug it into your fone.
Now this fone SHOULD be a touch tone one, w/ a preferably lighted
dial, this is for dialing at night. Also, it should be a one piece
fone, with everything right on the fone. Now, you should have
everything set up. The other thing that was listed, was a female
phone jack, that U can use for an extension. Just take the wire
with your hookup and plug it into one end, and then take some more
fone cord and hook it into the other side, which leads into your
fone.
Now, you should have your one piece phone, with some wire
going out to two aligator clips. This fone is now a working, clone
of a lineman's handset. Now, read on for the phun part!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
USES:
The main idea for making a beige-box, is to make VOICE fone
calls, without getting charged. Here is what U can do with your
handset one you have it assembled: Go outside your house, and open
up that fone box. You will probably have one of these, however,
some houses don't, but I will still tell you how to try it out.
Anyway, open up that box, &, using your handset, clip the two
alligator clips onto the appropriate screws. Remember, green goes
on green, & red goes on red.... I know, a real mindbender! This
should produce a dial-tone, if not, try reversing the two screws,
or put them on different screws. There WILL be a dialtone! If you
tried everything, and still can't get a dialtone, retrace your
steps, and try building it again.
Now, if you don't have a box outside, here is a quick way to
test it that MAY work at your house, and may not. Go to the fone
jack on the wall, and unscrew it. On the reverse side, there
should be a few screws. Clip your handset onto the different
screws, and listen for a dial tone. As before, if you don't get it
the first tyme, try, try again!
The REAL purpose for making one of these, is not just for
talking outside your house, if that was all I was going to tell you
in this phile, then it wouldn't even be worth reading. The REAL
purpose, is to go to OTHER people's houses, and hook up there. A
better place to do this, is somewhere where you are 1> Not Seen, 2>
Most likely won't be caught, & 3> a place where the people won't
get suspicious too fast about their fone bill.
After finding a good place to hook up, call away! But
remember, U won't be charged for these calls, but rather the
person's house that you are at! So above all, DON'T get caught!
Now, I will try to give you some pointers that might come in
handy, while beige-boxing. Remember the gloves that I mentioned
earlier on??? Put them on before you go screwing with someone
elses box! That way, their will be no prints. Second, make sure
you choose a GOOD time to go out beige-boxing... this is almost
always at night, under darkness. That brings up another item, the
flashlight! Test it BEFORE you go out! And the lighted dial on
your fone will help U to see the #'s at night. Another great time
to go, is when the people are NOT at their house! If, per chance,
someone picks up the phone while U are at work, then they can hear
everything you are saying! And just cause U hang up, doesn't mean
they get disconnected! So be sure to think of that ahead of tyme!
If you are using the beige box to listen in on other peoples
fone calls, YOU MUST have some sort of mute button on your handset.
If they are already on, then do this: Unhook the wire with the
clips from your fone. Now clip them to the appropriate screws.
THEN, plug the wire back into the phone (while holding the mute
button!) & listen away! Beige boxing is a good way to eavesdrop,
but make sure you don't get caught while doing this... if they do
catch you, then make sure to get the hell out of there before they
can catch you. And unhook your little contraption, Ma-Bell won't
take too kindly to that if they come over to look after these
people inform them of your activities!
If, per chance, the box that you try to get into is locked,
then you will either have to go to another one, or pick it. It is
usually best just to find another one.
And, if you want to not only MAKE calls, but RECIEVE calls at
this line, you must find out what # U are at. This info can be
attained by calling ANI (Automatic Number Identification). I can't
tell you what that # will be for your area, U will just have to
find it for yourself.
Beige Boxing, like said earlier, is mostly for voice fone
calls. If you are planning on calling a bulletin board, then you
are pretty much outta luck. There are plenty of other wayz out
there to accomplish that, which can be obtained by D/Ling a good
txt phile on it from any one of the many phine elite BBS's out
there. But above all when beige boxing, like said MANY tymes, is
to NOT GET CAUGHT!!! It cannot be stressed enough. Don't be
afraid to experiment though, there is not too much danger w/
working on fone lines... just like ALL types of phreaking, PRACTICE
MAKES PERFECT!!!
