A. Introduction:
In this page you should find a complete resource for all your phreaking needs. If you're looking for boxing help I'm sorry but you won't find it here. This is mostly for the beginner/novice phreaker. or those just becoming interested in H/P scene.
B. Customer Name and Address Numbers:
CN/A numbers, are basically numbers assigned to phone numbers with certain prefixes. The reason for the number added is so that employees of the phone company can find out customer names at their phone number. Make sense? well if not, here's an example. Here is how an employee would probably go about getting a phone number this way. "Hello this is Assumed Name, from the New York Residential Service Center, can I have the customers names at (123) 555-1212". It's usually used so the phone company can check to see who lives at a number that someone claimed they didn't call.
Just act natural & happy and they won't ask any questions. Make sure you sound like an adult also. Use a convincing name! nothing like Joe Smith, or John Doe. Don't use you pirate name! even if they don't know it, if you ever get caught for anything in the future they could trace back to minor offenses like this. Also say you're far away from the city you're calling.
The CN/A number for the NY area & vicinity is (212, 315, 516, 518, 607, 716, & 914) is (518) 471-8111.
DO NOT ABUSE IT!
C. Ten Commandments of Phreaking:
I. Box, but not over your home telephone wires, for those who do must surely bring the wrath of the chief special agent down upon thy heads.
II. Do not speak of important matters over your home telephone wires, for to do so is to risk of your right of freedom.
III. Use not your 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 you are in school, strive to get good grades, for the authorities well know that scholars never break the law.
VI. If you work, try to be an employee, and impress your boss with your enthusiasm, for important employees are often saved by their own bosses.
VII. Do not store your stolen goods in your own home, for those who do are surely non-believers in the bell system security forces, and are not long for this world.
VIII. Do not attract the attention of the authorities, as the less noticeable you are, the better.
IX. Make sure your friends are instant amnesiacs and will not remember that you have called illegally, for their cooperation with the authorities will surely lessen your time for freedom on this earth.
X. Support your tap, as it is your newsletter, and without it, your work will be far more limited.
D. Exchange Scanning:
You can scan your local exchange to find, loops, dialups, tones, etc. This process is very easy but it takes a long time. Use your local exchange like 418, or 425-353, etc. then try numbers between 9900 and 9999 you may get
lucky in most cases you'll get nothing or a MHz tone. In some areas you might have to use numbers between 00XX & XX99 so in those areas you'd call (area code) + 555-00XX or 555-XX99. where X = Any number. Below is a listing taken from "The Phreakers Bible" of the author's findings in the 914-268 exchange. Remember there all local exchanges and local calls. (free).
9900 - ani
9901 - ani
9927 - osc. tone (possible tone side of a loop)
9936 - voice #`to the telco central office
9937 - voice #`to the telco central office
9941 - computer (digital voice transmission?)
9960 - osc. tone (tone side loop) -- may also be a computer in some
9961 - no response (other end of loop?)
9962 - no response (other end of loop?)
9963 - no response (other end of loop?)
9966 - computer (see 9941)
9968 - tone that disappears--responds to certain touch tone keys
Most numbers between 9900 & 9999 will ring or go to a "WHAT #, PLEASE?"
operator.
E. AT&T News Lines:
These are numbers set so that employees can find out company information very easily. (so can you) they might be boring or very interesting. Here are some numbers that won't always be up.

G. 959 Numbers:
959 numbers are one of AT&T's oldest networks. they are used now for linesman tester lines mostly. What You can use them for are another way of exchange scanning. Try numbers like 512-959-1XXX or 360-959-1XXX don't worry about the area codes because all the 959 numbers are free to call. If you ever get a bill it will be $0.99 and don't pay it. AT&T might try to threaten you/etc. They are full of crap no matter what they say take my word
for it. numbers after 959-2100 are people who work of AT&T helpers/etc. Most of them have no idea they have a 959 number. These numbers don't work in all areas and don't work from GTE, UNITED, or ALLTE pay-phones.
H. 1-800 Collect Fraud:
1-800 Collect which is hosted by MCI is usually not targeted by phreakers. AT&T and Sprint are more likely targets but hell you can get free calls and that can be useful while trying to communicated with a party line or some
pal who lives half a world away. the sequence for getting free service is below. first you have to be at a pay-phone now dial a MCI calling code. I'll give it to you. 10222+0+718+123+4567 now the number you wish to call.
when the operator asks if you'd like to make a collect call please, etc. Type "11". now enter a deactivated credit card number example. 5371-5990-0600-2787 when it asks for the expiration date enter something like 01/98 or 01/99 for the zip code enter "00000" this will make the MCI computers think that it's an overseas account and won't catch that it's deactivated.
I. Touch Tone Free Calls:
Use a number that accepts voice as well as DTMF. example: 800-521-8400 the code was 00717865. If using voice, wait for the computer to say "authorization #, please." then say each digit slowly, it will beep after each digit is said. after every group of digits it will repeat what you have said, then say yes. if it is correct, if not say no. if the access
code is correct, it will thank you and ask for the destination #. Then say the area code + number as above. another such number is 800-245-8173. which has a 6 digit access code. If using touch tone enter the number right after the tone stops.
J. Free Calls From Pay Phones:
Find a pay phone that wants your money before the dial tone. (it isn't easy) put in your 35 cents, and dial a 800 number. your money will come back to you right after your call (because 800 numbers are free). Put your money right back in after you hang up then dial the number you wish to call your money will come back again when you hang up. Most phones now are "tone first phones" and disconnect the keypad.
K. ESS - and why it's so damn evil:
ESS is an acronym for Electronic Switching System and it can trace a call in seconds. It also records all calls and can even tap into lines. or put in their words "check line quality" and record calls.
L. Loops Explained:
A loop is a connection between two lines, they have a high and a low number. So basically when you call a person it goes to a switch board right? yes and no it also goes to a loop. The loop transfers your call to the other number
in the switch.
