(604) 595-0085 Metal AE (201) 879-6668 pw=KILL [1] Huge Phone Bills: 1.1
If your intended victim has a middle- or high-end answering machine or
subscribes to a VMS service, you're in luck. These are usually endowed
with the capability to remotely change the outgoing message tape (or memory,
whatever) and are protected with a pathetic 2-4 digit code. Once you crack
one of these, change the message going out so it says "This machine accepts
ALL collect calls". Then get all your friends and relatives in Europe,
south America, China, Antarctica, etc making collect calls to it. They
don't have to say anything, just keep the line open. 1.2 The bud-box. It's
not a box at all really and it's the k-neetest way for losers like your
victim to phreak. What you do is hook up your modified phone to the victim's
outside terminal box (not too difficult unless you're Capt. Kirk would
do is call 1-976-PORN for a few minutes and then bugger off scared that
someone might see them. This won't really cost your enemy too much and
he'll have his box steel-plated next time you come back (Jas0n C0ckbyter
Anders0n did this after someone went to his box to do an ANI with a bud-box
to get his new phone number. It had just been changed because SOMEONE had
posted about a 200 meg AE being at that number). What a vengeful phreak
with brains would do is call the most expensive phone number he can possibly
think of (there are some south Pacific Islands that are obscenely pricey
to call; Marisat is a good ripoff too...) and instead of sticking around
for weeks, just put a 600 ohm load (preferably a 10 cent resistor from
Shack) across the box terminals, and leave it there. The line will stay
open until someone starts to wonder what's going on, and by that time you'll
be long gone and there'll be about $1,000,000,000,000 in Long Distance
charges already billed. 1.3 Steal his Calling Card. Post it on every BBS
and AE in the entire US of A. I don't need to say more about this and it's
been done many times anyways. 1.4 Befriend him. Include him in your elite
circle of hacker friends (none of your REAL contacts, just other losers...).
Make him think he's just totally k-awesome. Then get him excited about
blowing up his area code with a Blotto Box (ha ha ha). InSIST that every
major phreak has Blotto Boxed their exchange at least once and that if
he's ever going to be /<ool he should do the same. When he does it,
call up Crime Stoppers... He won't destroy the NPA but there will be damage
done to Telco and that will give your victim a record...and you'll be able
to anonymously provide the pigs with a name, address, phone number, set
of fingerprints, etc etc etc... (This prank inspired by "Get People To
Kill Themselves") 1.5 Raid your enemy's mailbox daily. If you see a phone
bill, take it. About 4 months later your enemy's phone line will be cut
off for non-payment. Too bad he didn't get to see the "Final Notice". Sorry
this file's a bit cut-off but I had to translate it from WordStar to PCWrite
(ASCII) and in the time it took I couldn't be bothered to add anything
else. So sue me. -=( FIXER )=- 1988 (November now... look for 15 before
