powder, and
grind up the equivalent amount of sugar.
Mix equivalent amounts of Solidox powder, and sugar in a 1:1 ratio.
It is just that simple! You now have an extremely powerful substance that can be used in a
variety of applications. A word of caution: be EXTREMELY careful in the entire process.
Avoid friction, heat, and flame. A few years back, a teenager I knew blew 4 fingers off
while trying to make a pipe bomb with Solidox. You have been warned!
8. High Tech Revenge: The Beigebox - Rev.2 by The Jolly Roger
I. 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 phone 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.
The beigebox is simply a consumer lineman's handset, which is a phone that can be
attached to the outside of a person's house. To fabricate a beigebox, follow along.
II. Construction and Use
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 the
black are not necessary for this project. A lineman's handset has two clips on it: the ring
and the tip. Take a modular jack and look at the bottom of it's casing. There should be a
grey jack with four wires (red, green, yellow & 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 modular jack. That's it. This particular model is nice because it is 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.
III. Beige Box Uses
There are many uses for a Beige Box. However, before you can use it, you must know how
to attach it to the output device. This device can be of any of Bell switching apparatus
that include germinal sets (i.e. remote switching centers, bridgin heads, cans, etc.) To open
most Bell Telephone switching apparatus, you must have a 7/16 inch hex driver (or a good
pair of needle nose pliers work also). This piece of equipment can be picked up at your local
hardware store. With your hex driver (or pliers), 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 output devices, the terminals should
be labeled "T" (Tip -- if not labeled, it is usually on the left) and "R" (Ring -- if not labeled,
usually on the right).
Remember: Ring - red - right. The "Three R's" -- a simple way to remember which is which.
Now you must attach all the red alligator clip (Ring) to the "R" (Ring) terminal. Attach the
green alligator clip (Tip) to the "T" (Tip) terminal.
Note: If instead of a dial tone you hear nothing, adjust the alligator clips so that they are
not touching each other terminals. Also make sure they are firmly attached. By this time
you should hear a dial tone. Dial ANI to find out the number you are using (you wouldn't
want to use your own). Here are some practical applications:
Eavesdropping
Long distance, static free, free fone calls to phriends
Dialing direct to Alliance Teleconferencing (also no static)
Phucking people over
Bothering the operator at little risk to yourself
