Beige Box
---------------------------
___| INTRODUCTION |___
| ____________ |

Have you ever wanted a lineman's handset? Surely every phreak has at
least once considered the phun that he could have with one. After searching
unlocked fone company trucks for months, we had an idea. We could build one.
We did, and named it the "Beige Box," simply because that is the color of
ours. In the following file, we will give complete instructions for the con-
struction and use of a Beige Box.

___| CONSTRUCTION |___
| ____________ |

The construction is very simple. First, you must understand the concept
of the device. In a modular jack, there are four wires. These are red,
green, yellow, and black. For a single line telefone, however, only two
matter: the red (ring) add green (tip). The yellow and black are not neces-
sary for this project. A lineman's handset only has two clips on it: the ring
and the tip.

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

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

___| USES |___
| ____ |

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

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

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

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

Eavesdropping:

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

Dialing Long Distance:

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

Dialing Direct to Alliance Conferencing:

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

Phucking People Over:

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

Bothering the Operator:

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

Blue Boxing:

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

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

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

Black Box
-----------------------------------
To all who dare --

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

The way it works:

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

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

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

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

How to find out:

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

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

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

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

How to use it:

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

Brown Box

(((> Introduction < )))

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

|_____PHONE____|


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 any-
thing in the phone or telephone by probing. 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 a phreakers tool, the
brown box can be phun.

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

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

PROCEDURE:
__________


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

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

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

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

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

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

* *

*

* *

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

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


IDEAS OF USE FOR THE BUD BOX
____________________________


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

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

DR. D-CODE & THE PIMP

Chartreuse box
----------------------------------
Intro
-----

The Chartreuse Box, so named because this is an obnoxious box
and chartreuse is an obnoxious color, is designed to take
advantage of the thousands of dollars Ma Bell pays to the electric
company each day. As you know, your telephone line is a constant
power source. The chart box is designed to allow you to tap that
power source for whatever sicko purposes you might have in mind.

Parts
-----

[1]- 1 four prong to modular phone adapter (the rectangular beige
boxes with phone line jacks at one end and four prongs out
the other.)
[2]- 1 low power broad range rheostate.
[3]- some wire
[4]- a soldering iron
[5]- some electric tape
[6]- a 70 vlt. DC fuse (optional)
[7]- 1 SPST switch

Assembly
--------

Plug the adapter into a phone line, and use a multitester to
note which posts are charged. Use a magic marker to mark the
positive and negative poles. Do this first.
Take the adapter, and turn it upside down. You should
observe that the bottom fits into the top. Use a pocketknife,
small screwdriver, battle axe etc. to remove the bottom. Don't
break it.
Detach the two wires not connected to charged poles, and
scrap em. Detach the other two wires as well. Take your
rheostat, and mount it on the outside of the box, drilling a small
hole in the box, to run wires through.
Run wire from the charged connections from the line jack,
through the rheostat, to the charged poles. (see diagram).

---------.. : :

:............#.........................[=====]

Key: # - Rheostate poles
. - Wiring path
[=]- Outside posts

Attach the fuse somewhere in the line if you feel like it.
When the phone rings 90 volts of pulsing DC power get shot down
your line, and can really fuck up whatever you have the chart box
hooked up to. Therefore, the fuse is a good idea.
You can also hook a switch up to the wiring, to give you more
control over when power starts to flow. Once all the wiring is
complete, push the wires and the fuse into the casing, and reclose
it. Then tape around the side of the box, to hold the wires that
come out to the rheostat down. I highly recommend that you mark
the charged posts with a marker, so you can easily identify them.


Use
---

To use the chart box, hook it up to a phone line, and grab a
multitester or voltmeter. Use the voltmeter to read off the
voltage from your chart box. You can get up to 12 volts (more if
you use a transformer) from the box, but you can use the rheostat
to calibrate the box for whatever voltage you need. Once the
voltage is set, remove the box from the line, hook your device up
to the charged poles, and plug the box back in. If you're really
in a constructive mood, build a switch into the box. Now leech Ma
Bell's precious energy to your hearts content.

Footnote
--------

This device has other potential uses. One of the most
obvious, and least useful (at least to my view) is as a volume
control for your phone. Maybe you have an aunt that talks REAL
LOUD!!!!! Also, you can use this device to set up a feedback
loop to mess up someone else's phone line. Finally, it may be
possible to use the chart box to tone down your connection, and
provide a little background noise, so that ESS doesn't pick up on
your blue boxing. This is not a guaranteed method, but if you do
it just right, you can make the 2600 blast sneak by the ESS
detection code.
Naturally, the main purpose of the chart box is to leech Ma
Bell just like she leeches you.

Hail Discordia!

Naturally, the main purpose of the chart box is to leech Ma Bell!

THE IMAGINATION FACTORY BBS (513)-787-3777
24 hours - 7 days
------------------------------------
Clear box
------------------------------------
The idea for the Clear box comes from an article in the newsletter 2600.

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

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

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

its all in vain

Those boxes are great and all but you also have to look at the date these files were written. The first one for example was 1985. Half of the boxes shown won't even work on modern telophone systems.

yeah some are pretty old but others work and i think that some newer phreaks might want to learn a little historical shit... so whatever. heres some more.

Blaze box

THE BLAZE BOX!

Do you hate school? Have you ever wanted to get out of class, or just plain
cause some major chaos? Then it looks like you need THE BLAZE BOX!
straight from the mind of a bored loser with nothing betterto do,
this vile little creation can bring you an unnexcused abscence from school or
work just
at the touch of a button with ALMOST no chance of getting caught! Sound too
good to be true? Read on.

DISCLAIMER

This phile is for EDUCATIONAL AND INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY! (It has
something to do with school, that makes it educational!)Use of this device
could get you expelled, arrested, or divert attention from a real emergency.
So use at your own risk. I am not liable for your stupidity.

ok if you actually bothered to read the disclaimer you probably have
some idea what this does. Basically the blaze box activates the fire
alarm switches in your school by remote control. Those of you who are asking
"why not just pull the fuckin thing" are just stupid. Reasons why the
box is better.

1. Some alarms have a hidden ink sac that squirts unwashable ink onto
whoever pulls it. you can tell if your school has these by if there
is a small hole right above the dentation where the switch is.
If the alarm was pulled recently there might still be traces of purple ink.

2. You actually gotta go out and pull the damn thing so you can't do it
in class (if you even go to class) and so you get caught.

PARTZ

Toy car remote control. (steal it from your brother)

Servo from the car.

thick wire or piece of conductive metal.

batteries (whatever size the servo needs)

flathead screw driver.

Herez how you make it

Break into your school or work at sometime when NOONE is going to be
there. Snow days and summer LATE nights are the best. That way if youre
dumb and accidentaly set off the alarm you wont get caught.

Find one of those alarm switches set into the wall. Theyre about 8X8"
and are red with a white switch. Unscrew the 4 flathead screws on the panel
and take it off.

-----------------------------------
screws-------|--> (*) (*) |

| |____________________| |
| | | | The Wall
| | pull-down switch | |
| | | |
| | | |
| |---------------------- |
| |
| (*) Back Panel (*) |
|----------------------------------|

Now pull away the whole set to reveal the switch set into the wall.
Look for where the switch makes contact with the wire passing thru
the wall. The way alarms work is there is always juice flowing thru
the alarm wires, when you pull the switch it just completes the
circuit, turning on the bells and lights and shit. You can smash
the switch now for all you care cuz you won't be needing it any more.
Now take the servo and attach the conductive metal or whatever ya got, so
when the servo turns it touches the metal to the place where the
switch used to complete the circuit. Now tape or glue the servo securely
to the wall, attach the battery, and screw the panel back into place.
It should be a fun day at school monday (heh heh) >->

ok now that was one of the most useless schematics ever

Now you want take the remote control and cut off all the excess crap all
you need is the gutz of the thing and you want it small it can be
concealed. Now next time you're in a boring class within
range of about 400 ft (200 thru walls) sneak it out of your back pack
turn the dial the *slightest* amount. Sirens! Lights! Major Chaos!
fire drill time. Then after you have to go back in flip it again! Unless
you're stupid and go showing off to all you're friendz you won't get caught.

When the firemen
and school administration track down the switch they won't even see it
pulled, and most of 'em are too dumb to even think a kid could be smart
enough to put something INSIDE it ha ha ha. You can have more fun with
this than just getting out of class. Does your enemy have swimming class
on some day when its 20 below? He'll have to go out of the school
half-naked and wet. If yer the perverted type set off the alarm
when the opposite sex is getting changed some panicky teachers will
send them out of the locker room "as is". You can synchronize it to
stuff too. Pick a 'word of the day" ("fuck" is a favorite) and wheneveher
someone says it all hell breaks loose. Kind of like Peewee's playhouse.
If you really want to go BlazeBox crazy, set up ones at various alarms
scattered throughout your school, so you can set off different sections of
the school at different times! Or if you're really nuts, set one up
in the fire system central control box, and bring the sprinklers into
the action. Ive personalyy had tonz of fun with this box and the school stil
hasn't figured it out! Just have phun and don't get caught!

LECTURE SECTION

Have fun with this box but use it with some small amount of responsibity.
You might end up diverting the fire department from a real emergency,
and you dont want some poor guys house burning down just cuz you don't
want to go to class. Use it on rare occasions just to have some phun.
Of course, if youre an unprincipled loser like %99.99999 percent of
people who read these filez, you don't have anything to worry about, do
you. Youll go to hell anyway.

This phile has been brougt to you from my bored mind. If you know who I am I
dont fucken care. Its crap but you should be able to have some phun with it.

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

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

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

MATERIALS NEEDED- a BEOC (Basic Electrical Output Socket), like a small lamp
type connection, where you just have a simple plug and wire
that would plug into a light bulb.
- One of the cords mentioned above, if you can't find one
then construct your own; same voltage connection, but the
restrainer must be built in (i.e. the central box)
- TWO phone jacks (one for the modem, one for if you are
being traced to plug the aqua box into)
- Some creativity and easy work.

NOTICE: No phones have to be destroyed/modified to make this box, so don't go
out and buy a new phone for it!

All right, this is a very simple procedure. If you have the BEOC, it
could drain into anything, a radio, or whatever. The purpose of having that
is you are going to suck the voltage out from the phone line into the electri-
cal appliance so there would be no voltage left to lock you in with.

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

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

3) Re-check everything to make sure it's all in place. This is a pretty
flimsy connection, but on later models when you get more experienced at it
then you can solder away at it and form the whole device into one big box,
with some kind of cheap Mattel hand-held game inside to be the power con-
nector.

In order to use it, just keep this box handy. Plug it into the jack if
you want, but it will slightly lower the voltage so it isn't connected. When
you plug it in, if you see sparks, unplug it and restart the WHOLE thing. But
if it just seems fine then leave it.

USING IT !!

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

Happy boxing and stay free!

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

MATERIALS:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Have a nice day!


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

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

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

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

PROCEDURE:
__________


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

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

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

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

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

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

* *

*

* *

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

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


IDEAS OF USE FOR THE BUD BOX
____________________________


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

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