- -=*> Introduction <*=-
-
- This file is for a little background information on this program that you
- took the time to download. I assume you got a pretty good idea of what it is
- used for, but I will include a brief description for the BETA version and
- things to look forward to in the full running version. It is a hacker tool (but
- I wasn't the one who told you to use it, ok?), It is to help the idustrious
- hacker in his endeavors, and save him some cash in the process. If you still
- don't have the foggiest idea of what i am talking about, never fear read on!!
-
- -=*> Program Specifications <*=-
-
- Tone Generator was written using Turbo Pascal v5.0, for the programmers who
- are interested. It took a lot of phucking around to get it in the shape it's
- in. I am new to TP programming so I am open to all Input. You can reach me at
- Electric Eye ][ BBS -=> SysOp #2 <=-. Leave all mail and inquiries there. Or
- improvements etc., you get the idea.
-
- Tone Generator is used to and by the Phone Phreaker who is familiar with
- using tones to get something done. [i.e Make a FREE Phone Call!!] For those who
- may already not know by now, 2600 is a tone that Bell uses to get 'on' and 'off'
- the trunk. For those who have no idea about what a trunk is [No! not part of a
- tree or a car! HEHE], I suggest reading any of these fine publications:
-
- P/HUN On-Line Magazine
- Phrack On-Line Magazine
- 2600 Magazine
- TAP [by The Renegade Chemist, or the old Hoffman issues...]
-
- Anyways! This tone is named a 2600 Whistle or more well known, a BLUE BOX,
- invented by Capt. Crunch [Bless his heart!] If you blow the right tone into a
- phone you can make the phone think that you have already inserted money in the
- machine etc. These are just a few examples. But this is an extemely old and
- extremely dangerous tone to use. Thanks to ESS (Electronic Switching System
- [duh!]), Bell can now pin point your location, (especially if you use this
- thing at home, I DON'T ADVISE DOING THIS!!) your name and anything else they
- need in about 7 seconds. Therefore, use this off a can, lineman's handeset
- tapped into someone else's line, or through an extender. Believe me I know, I
- used to work for Bell....
-
- When I speak of "BELL", I'm referring to any phone company in general. Some
- payphones use a 2200hz tone, some use the 1700hz. Bell uses these as
- countermeasures against phreakers some use a combination of the two tones.
- Used Properly and these can save you a ton because they are in charge of Bells
- accounting procedures to check the coin sense relay's of most rural and city
- type pay phones. One can tell if a phone is single or dual by having his
- friend call from it. Have him deposit coins (or slugs!). The phreaker will
- hear the tones and be able to tell.
-
-
- HERE IS A BETTER DESCRIPTION OF THE BLUE BOX
- --------------------------------------------
- The Blue Box is an electronic device that simulates the tones generated
- during LD (long-distance) phone calls. Bell still uses in-band signaling in
- many places to determine if trunk lines are free. When one dials a LD phone
- number (whether rotary or Touch-tone), the CO. interprets the signals dialed to
- determine the destination. It Then searches the relevent trunk lines for the
- one that is not busy. A trunk line is not busy puts out a steady 2600hz tone.
- When the CO. finds such a trunk the phone company latches on to it and
- terminates the 2600hz non-busy signal; it then sends the called number or a
- special routing code to the destination TO. If the CO. can't find a trunk, it
- signals the caller with a 120hz busy signal.
-
- The tones used to send this information are the Multi-Frequency (MF) tones.
- An MF tone consists of two tones from a set of six master tones which are
- combined to produce any of 12 distinct tones. Occasionally, one can hear these
- trunk tones, but they are usually filtered out. These tones are NOT the same
- as Touch-Tones.
-
- -------------------------------------------------
- As talked about earlier the 1700 and 2200 tones. These tones in conjuction
- can produce what is called a red box. I don't have all the specs. on the
- redbox but will produce further output in future editions. of tonegen along
- with my progressing 2600 whistle perfector.
