|
|
Well, I have seen many files on beige boxing and the like, but
|
|
nothing real comprehensive and simple. So I wrote one. I will outline
|
|
good and bad things to do. But first I want to warn everyone who is
|
|
reading this : BEIGE BOXING _IS_ A FELONY. It will seriously fuck you
|
|
and your record up. It is considered a line-tapping device under some
|
|
article of the constituion. If you are smart and safe you won't get
|
|
caught, I have been boxing for about a year now, and have happily
|
|
enjoyed spending other people's money.
|
|
Anyway, fuck the feds, here's the good shit. Long Live AT&T!

|
|
Unlike other people, I am not a electronics stud and cannot
|
|
build myself a beige box. So, I will tell you how to make one that works
|
|
just as well, and may save yourself a telephone. Go to your electronics
|
|
store and buy yourself a set of four double ended alligator clips. It
|
|
doesn't matter what color you get, but look and see if you can find a
|
|
red and green one. Now get a single phone wall jack. Now you have all
|
|
you need to make a beige box. take the wall jack, and strip the casing
|
|
holding all the wires. Then strip the red and green wires, and attach
|
|
the corosponding color alligator clips. Now, you can plug your laptop,
|
|
phone, or anything else into that jack. Proceed to attach it to the bare
|
|
wires in any Bell box, and you're in. Now that you know how easy that
|
|
is, you might even want to buy yourself a second jack and use the left
|
|
over alligator clips to make another one. What I love doing is talking
|
|
on someone's line long distance while also fucking around LD on my
|
|
laptop. What a pleasure.

Types Of Bell Boxes Around, and How To Get Into Them
|
|
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
|
|
The first kind of box and most common one by far are the little
|
|
green boxes. They are most of the time about 3 feet high, and are
|
|
rectangular. The sides are rounded, and they have bolts in the side.
|
|
These bolts can be taken off with a 9/16th inch wratchet. These normally
|
|
have two terminal pads on them, with about 25 lines available. All lines
|
|
aren't always hooked up, but you only need one, right? These are mostly
|
|
found in buisness office complexes, although I have seen them at the end
|
|
of the street in some old neighborhoods.
|
|
The second kind of box are about 2 feet high, and are shaped
|
|
like tall skinny cylinders. They have two bolts at the bottom of them,
|
|
but you don't even have to unscrew those, just twist the whole thing
|
|
counter clockwise and wait until you feel it move all the way. Then pull
|
|
up, and the whole casing comes off. Sometimes you may have to loosen
|
|
them, if the Bell guys have tightened them real tight, although I doubt
|
|
it because they are lazy fucks, and don't want to do the extra work.
|
|
The third kind of box is about 5-6 feet high, and about 4 feet
|
|
wide. It has two doors on the front, and two on the back. Some of the
|
|
locks on those doors are strange, I haven't yet seen a tool that opens
|
|
them, they look like this : ___
|
|
/ _ \
|
|
| | | |
|
|
| | . | |
|
|
| |_| |
|
|
\___/ Excuse the shitty drawing, but
|
|
hey. Anyway, they are circular, and have a dot in the middle. You must
|
|
need some funky tool, because I've never run into anything like that
|
|
before. Next to this thing should be a hexagonal bolt, so whip out your
|
|
9/16th inch (wratchet, I hope) and put that in there. Find the tool for
|
|
that other thing and your in. But until then, wait. Also, I have seen
|
|
the doors without those wierd locks, just a hexagonal bolt and a handle.
|
|
Put your wrench in there, turn counter-clockwise, and pull up on the
|
|
handle, and it should pop open. These are fairly rare, (ie: I have found
|
|
you will only find them one in every 4 sets of doors you look at) so you
|
|
might not be lucky enough to get in these. These fuckers are _huge_,
|
|
they have about 200 lines in each side.
|
|
The fourth kind of box are small, they are about 6 inches but a
|
|
foot. They are normally on the back of duplexes, or some newer homes.
|
|
They have two sections, the top one says "For Bell Access Only" and the
|
|
bottom says "For Customer Access". Heh, well this time whip out your
|
|
3/8inch wratchet and open this puppy. This will allow you access to
|
|
that persons line.

Good Things To Do Once You've Established a Line
|
|
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
|
|
Okay, now that you know about your boxes, here's what to do with
|
|
them. When you find a box, identify where it goes to. (ie: buisness or
|
|
residential) Buisness lines are eaiser to box off of because at night no
|
|
one is there, and you for sure won't get caught on the phone. Residential
|
|
lines are better to set up conferances on, because sometimes the buisness
|
|
will have one central line, and then have a switching board that will
|
|
send incoming calls elsewhere. Okay, now that you have identified that,
|
|
open the box, strip one set of wires with your knife, and take your
|
|
alligator clips and hook them on the exposed wire. If you get a dial
|
|
tone, that's good. If you don't, try reversing your clips and checking
|
|
again. If you still don't get a dial tone, switch to another line. Now,
|
|
take the spool of wire that you have and hook it on to the two exposed
|
|
wires. Then run it somewhere where no one will see you and you can
|
|
safely box. (Note: You don't have to do this if you are out of sight,
|
|
but it will ensure your safety a little more) Make sure that the wire
|
|
isn't faulty by hooking your box back up to the other end of the wire,
|
|
and seeing if you get a dialtone. If you do, good. If you don't, check
|
|
your contacts with the spool of wire and the line in the box. Make sure
|
|
they are secure. If it still doesn't work, trash the wire and try again.
|
|
If you get it to work, then go back and dig a little trench, it doesn't
|
|
have to be deep, and bury your wire. This will allow you to stay pretty
|
|
hidden, and the only way you will be caught if you are out of sight is
|
|
if the bell guy comes and discovers your wire while you are on it. If he
|
|
does discover your wire, all he will probably do is rip it out. If you
|
|
find your cord it gone, then I wouldn't advise using that box again.
|
|
There should be plenty more around, you just have to look. Another good
|
|
thing to do is get on a residential line, do an ANI on it, call a
|
|
friend, and tell him to call you back. Then call someone else, and talk
|
|
for a little bit. If you hear a little beep while you are talking, hit
|
|
the hang up button real fast and then see if it gives you the other
|
|
person who is calling. If so that person has call waiting, and that is
|
|
good for setting up conferances or carding items. I will explain why
|
|
later.
|
|
|

Chapter V -
|
|
Setting Up a Conferance
|
|
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
|
|
So you want to set up a conferance, eh? Or do you know what a
|
|
conferance is? A conferance is where you can have as many people on a
|
|
line at the same time. There are many different ways of doing this, and
|
|
I will outline these. The carrier I will describe here is AT&T, and the
|
|
reason I use them instead of lets say MCI or Sprint is because they
|
|
aren't pricks about it and all. AT&T is the easiest to set up, and if
|
|
you do it right, will guanrentee you hours of fun.
|
|
The line you probably want to hook up to do this from is a
|
|
residential line. You can use a buisness line, but in the past I have
|
|
found it harder to do. Residential boxes are easier to get to, and as
|
|
you will see, eaiser to use. If you want to use a buisness box, that's
|
|
fine, do the same thing as I will outline below, but discard the call
|
|
waiting part, and make sure you do this after buisness hours.
|
|
The first thing you want to do is check and see if the line has
|
|
call waiting, as I said above. If so, that will work MUCH better as you
|
|
will see. Okay, first of all you have to decide what type of conferance
|
|
you would like. There are three main ones and they are a "Meet Me"
|
|
conferance, "PIN Dialin" conferance, and a "You Dial" Conferance.
|
|
The Meet Me is where you get your conferance, and then you tell
|
|
AT&T what number to dial, and they will dial those numbers and
|
|
establish the conferance like that. These are not that great because if
|
|
someone has to hang up the phone or whatever, they can only come back in
|
|
if you call them back. Also, the operator may be near, and if you start
|
|
talking in aliases and about phreaking and shit, she may fuck you over.
|
|
The number to establish a Meet Me conferance is 800-544-6363.
|
|
The Pin Dialin conferance by far is the best. This what most
|
|
people use. You call the operator and tell her you would like to
|
|
establish a conferance that has a PIN number that you can give out to
|
|
your "associates".
|
|
She will need these things (not neccesarily in this order):
|
|
- Your name
|
|
- The phone number it will be billed to
|
|
- What time it will start (Be sure to include your time zone)
|
|
- How Long you will use it for
|
|
- How many ports (people) you will have
|
|
Once you have given her all this, she will say please hold (they
|
|
are validating and calculating the PIN number) and then she will come
|
|
back on and say she will call you back and give you the validation
|
|
numbers. She will then call you back. Now, if you are on a residential
|
|
line and they have call waiting, call your friend, and wait for the
|
|
phone to beep. That way, those people won't even have a clue as to what
|
|
you are doing. She will give you a host PIN, which is the one you use,
|
|
and she will give you a user PIN, which you give out to everyone you
|
|
know. The number for this is also 800-544-6363.
|
|
The You Dial conferance is good, because there is no live
|
|
operator on the line, but you must stay at the phone you initiated the
|
|
call from during the whole conferance. This is how this conferance
|
|
works: Call 0+700+456+1000 and follow the recorded bitch's
|
|
instructions. (Or, read mine, below)
|
|
1. Type in the number of ports you are going to need, including your own.
|
|
2. Dial the first number
|
|
US: 1+XXX+XXX+XXXX
|
|
INTERNTL:011+COUNTRY#+CITY#+LOCAL#
|
|
When that person answers, press # to add them to the conferance.
|
|
3. Keep repeating step 2 for all the people you want on. Then press #
|
|
to add yourself to the conferance.
|
|
During Conferance Intiation:
|
|
Dial # To Continue
|
|
Dial * If it's busy, no answer, etc. to continue calling people.
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
If you, as the controller, are disconnected from the conferance, HANG
|
|
UP. An operator will automatically call you back and reconnect you to
|
|
the conferance. (This won't happen if you do it off a fucked buisness
|
|
line or whatever)
|
|
|

Other Miscellanious Info

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
|
|
If you want to get fancy, hook up three or four lines and then
|
|
run them down in the hole you dug. It is easier to do this the first
|
|
time then a bunch of times, also. It works really well, and you have
|
|
a regular fucking station going.
|
|
Also a good thing to do is switch lines either once every two or
|
|
three weeks, or after you put a huge charge on it like a conferance or
|
|
something.
|
|
Make sure you are out of site most of the time you are boxing.
|
|
Normally people don't care, but some people who are real nosy will come
|
|
out and question you. If they do ask you questions, don't awnser any,
|
|
pack up your stuff and leave while they are bitching. If they follow
|
|
you, lose them of course, but I have never found anyone who has followed
|
|
me more than three blocks.
|
|
Your line is also very good to place orders when carding. A lot of
|
|
times they will want to call you back, and all you have to do is my
|
|
little call waiting trick.
|
|
|
|
In closing I'd like to thank Black September and L.E. Pirate for the
|
|
original Phile on the 0-700 conferance. And, happy boxing!
