PART I: THE LAW
|
|
w:
|
|
Section 605 of tital 47 of the U.S code, forbids interception
|
|
of communication, or divulagance of intercepted communication
|
|
exept by persons outlined in section 119 of tital 18 (a portion
|
|
of the Omnibus crime controll and safe streets act of 1968).
|
|
This act states that "It shall not be unlawfull under this act
|
|
for an operator of a switchboard, or an officer, employe, or
|
|
agent of any communication common carrier who's switching system
|
|
is used in the transmision of a wire communication to intercept
|
|
or disclose intercepted communication."
|
|
|
|
hat all this legal bullshit is saying is that if you don't work
|
|
for a phone company then you cant go around tapping people's
|
|
lines. If you decide to anyway, and get caught, it could cost you
|
|
up to 5 years of your life and $10,000. This, you are all
|
|
assuming means that if you tap someone eles's line, you will be
|
|
punished....wrong! You can't tap your own line either. The
|
|
punishment for this is probably no more than a slap on the hand,
|
|
that is if they actually catch you, but it's a good thing to
|
|
know..............now on to the fun.....
|
|
|
|
PART II: TAPPING
|
|
|
|
verone has at sometime wanted to hear what a friend, the
|
|
principal, the prom queen, or a nighbor has to say on the phone.
|
|
There are several easy ways to tap into a phone line. None of the
|
|
methods that I present will involve actully entering the house.
|
|
You can do everything from the backyard. I will discuss four
|
|
methods of tapping a line. They go in order of increasing
|
|
difficulty.
|
|
1. The " beige box ": a beige box (or bud box) is actually better
|
|
known as a "lineman" phone. They are terribly simple to
|
|
construct, and are basically the easiest method to use. They
|
|
consist of nothing more than a phone with the modualr plug that
|
|
goes into the wall cut off, and two alligator clips attached to
|
|
the red and green wires. The way to use this box, is to venture
|
|
into the yard of the person you want to tap, and put it onto his
|
|
line. This is best done at the bell phone box that is usually
|
|
next to the gas meter. It should only have one screw holding it
|
|
shut, and is very easily opened. Once you are in, you should see
|
|
4 screws with wires attached to them. If the house has one line,
|
|
then clip the red lead to the first screw, and the green to the
|
|
second. you are then on the "tappie's" phone. You will hear any
|
|
conversation going on. I strongly recomend that you remove the
|
|
speaker from the phone that your using so the "tappie" can't
|
|
hear evcery sound you make. If the house has two lines, then the
|
|
second line is on screws three and four. If you connect
|
|
everything right, but you dont get on the line, then you probably
|
|
have the wire's backward. Swich the red to the second screw and
|
|
the green to the first. If no conversation is going on, you may
|
|
realize that you cant tap the phone very well because you don't
|
|
want to sit there all night, and if you are on the phone, then
|
|
the poor tappie can't dial out, and that could be bad...so.......
|
|
method two.
|
|
2. The recorer: This method is probably the most widespread, and
|
|
you still don't have to be a genius to do it. There are LOTS of
|
|
ways to tape conversations. The two easiest are either to put a
|
|
"telephone induction pickup" (radio shack $1.99) on the biege box
|
|
you were using, then pluging it into the microphone jack of a
|
|
small tape recoder, and leaving it on record. Or pluging the
|
|
recorder right into the line. This can be done by taking a
|
|
walkman plug, and cutting off the earphones, then pick one of the
|
|
two earphone wires, and strip it. There should be another wire
|
|
inside the one you just stripped. Strip that one too, and attach
|
|
aligators to them. Then follow the biege box instructions to tape
|
|
the conversation. In order to save tape, you may want to use a
|
|
voice activated recorder (Radio shack $59), or if your recorder
|
|
has a "remote" jack, you can get a "telephone recorder control"
|
|
at Radio shack shack for $19 that turns the recorder on when the
|
|
phone is on, and off when the phone is off. This little box plugs
|
|
right into the wall (modularly of course), so it is best NOT to
|
|
remove the modular plug for it. Work around it if you can. If
|
|
not, then just do you best to get a good connection. When
|
|
recording, it is good to keep your recorder hidden from sight (in
|
|
the bell box if possible), but in a place easy enough to change
|
|
tapes from.
|
|
|
|
The wireless microphone: this is the BUG. It transmitts a
|
|
signal from the phone to the radio (Fm band). You may remember Mr
|
|
microphone (from kaytel fame), these wireless mirophones are
|
|
availible from radio shack for $19. They are easy to build and
|
|
easy to hook up. There are so many differant models, that is is
|
|
almost imposible to tell you exactly what to do. The most common
|
|
thing to do, is to cut off the microphone element, and attach
|
|
these two wires to screws one and two. the line MIGHT, depending
|
|
on the brand, be "permenently off hook" this is bad, but by
|
|
phucking around with it for a while, you should get it working.
|
|
There are two drawbacks to using this method. One, is that the
|
|
poor asshole who is getting his phone tapped might hear himself
|
|
on "FM 88, the principal connnection". The second problem is the
|
|
range. The store bought transmitters have a VERY short range. I
|
|
suggest that you build the costomized version I will present in
|
|
part four (it's cheaper too). Now on to the best of all the
|
|
methods....
|
|
4. The "easy-talks": This method combines all the best aspects of
|
|
all the the other methods. It only has one drawback... You need a
|
|
set of "Easy-tylk" walkie talkies. They are voice activated, and
|
|
cost about $59. You can find em at toystores, and "hi-tech"
|
|
catalogs. I think that any voice activated walkie talkies will
|
|
work, but I have only tried the easy-talks. First, you have to
|
|
decide on one for the "tramsmitter" and one for the "reciever".
|
|
It is best to use the one with the strongest transmition to
|
|
trasmitt, even though it may recieve better also. Desolder the
|
|
speaker of the "transmitter", and the microphone of the
|
|
"reciever". now, go to the box. put the walkie talkie on "VOX"
|
|
and hook the microphone leads (as in method three) to the first
|
|
and second screws in the box. Now go home, and listen on your
|
|
walkie talkie. if nothing happens, then the phone signal wasn't
|
|
strong enough to "activate" the transmission. If this happens
|
|
there are two things you can do. One, add some ground lines to
|
|
the microphone plugs. This is the most inconspicuous, but if it
|
|
desn't work then you need an amplifier, like a walkman with two
|
|
earphone plugs. Put the first plug on the line, and then into one
|
|
of the jacks. Then turn the voulume all the way up (w/out
|
|
pressing play). Next connect the second earphone plug to the mice
|
|
wires, and into the second earphone outlet on the walkman. now
|
|
put the whole mess in the box, and lock it up. This should do the
|
|
trick. It gives you a private radio station to listen to them on,
|
|
you can turn it off when something boring comes on, and you can
|
|
tape off the walkie talkie speaker that you have!
|
|
|
|
PART IV: WIRELESS TRANSMITTER PLANZ
|
|
|
|
is is a tiny transmitter that consists on a one colpitts
|
|
oscillator that derives it's power from the phone line. Since the
|
|
it puts on the line is less than 100 ohms, it has no
|
|
effect on the telephone performance, and can not be detected by
|
|
the phone company, or the tappie. Since it is a low-powered
|
|
device using no antenna for radiation, it is legal to the FCC.
|
|
(That is it complies with part 15 of the FCC rules and
|
|
regulations). It, however is still illeagal to do, it's just that
|
|
what your using to do it is legal. This is explained later in
|
|
part 15... "no person shall use such a device for evesdropping
|
|
unless authorized by all parties of the conversation" (then it's
|
|
not evesdropping is it?). What this thing does,is use four diodes
|
|
to form a "bridge rectifier". It produces a varying dc voltage
|
|
varieng with the auto-signals on the line. That voltage is used
|
|
to supply the the voltage for the oscillator transistor. Which is
|
|
conected to a radio circuit. From there, you can tune it to any
|
|
zhannel you want. The rest will all be explianed in a minute....

1 may be constructed by winding approximately 40 turns of No. 36
|
|
enamal wire on a megohm, 1/2 watt resistor. The value of L1 is
|
|
not critical. L2 can be made by wrapping 5 turns of No. 20 wire
|
|
around a 1/4 inch form. After the wire is wrapped, the form can
|
|
be removed. Just solder it into place on the circuit board. It
|
|
should hold quite nicely. Also be sure to position Q1 so that the
|
|
Emmiter, Base, and collector are in the proper holes. The
|
|
schmatic should be pretty easy to follow. Although it has an
|
|
unusual number of grounds, it still works.

e odd thing about this bug that we havent encountered yet, is
|
|
that is is put on only one wire (either red or green) so go to
|
|
the box, remove the red wire that was ALREADY on screw #1 and
|
|
attack it to wire 'A' of the bug then attach wire 'B' to the
|
|
screw itself. you can adjust the frequency which it comes out on
|
|
(the Fm channel by either smooshing, or widening the coils of L2.
|
|
It takes a few minutes to get to work right, but it is also very
|
|
ersatile. You can change the frequency at will, and you can
|
|
easily record off your radio.
|
|
|
|
PART FIVE: HELPFULL HINTS
|
|
|
|
First of all, With method one, the beige box, you may notice that
|
|
you can also dial out on the phone you use. I don't recomend that
|
|
you do this. If you decide to anyway, and do something
|
|
conspicuous like set up a 30 person conferance for three hours,
|
|
then I suggest that you make sure the people are either out of
|
|
town or dead. In general when you tap a line, you must be
|
|
carefull. I test everything I make on my line first, then install
|
|
it late at night. I would not recoment that you leave a recorder
|
|
on all day. Put it on when you want it going, and take it off
|
|
when your done. As far as recording goes, I think that if there
|
|
is a recorder on the line it sends a sporatic beep back to the
|
|
phone co. I know that if you don't record directly off the line
|
|
(i.e off your radio) then even the most sophisticated equipment
|
|
can't ell that your recording. Also, make sure that when you
|
|
install something the people are NOT on the line. Installation
|
|
tends to make lots of scrachy sounds, clics and static. It is
|
|
generally a good thing to avoid. It doesn't take too much
|
|
intelligence to just make a call to the house before you go to
|
|
install the thing. If it's busy then wait a while. (This of
|
|
course does not apply if you are making a "midnight run").
|
|
|
|
|
|
All in all, if you use common sense, and are *VERY* Carefull,
|
|
chances are you wont get cought. Never think that your
|
|
unstopable, and don't braodcast what your doing. Keep it to
|
|
yourself, and you can have a great time.
