" ========================================================================= I. INTRODUCTION Hey Hi Ho.. this is Eye-No Phonez.. well ya may not of heard of me, but I've been around for about 4 years on the underside of the world. I've pretty much kept to myself most of the years, but this year I've decided to de-veil myself.. so watch out feds. II. PURPOSE The purpose of this text file is to show you how to build and utilize the ever-so-handy phreakers tool... A LINESMANS HANDSET. There are basically two ways to get these: 1) Call a Telco repairman and steal his blue phone. 2) Build one yourself. I will cover the latter. III. PRODUCTION Ahh.. the nitty-gritty of the article... MATERIALS: 1 PHONE WITH HANDSET DIALER 1 PAIR OF SCISSORS 1 SET OF GOOD TEETH 2 ALLIGATOR CLIPS First, since you are using only the handset of the phone, you will sacrifice the base. Carefully open the base by removing the two screws which are usually hidden under the Company Nameplate (where you are supposed to put that peice of paper with your telephone # on it). Now that you have the gizzards exposed, look where the HANDSET comes into the phone, you should see a plastic female outlet with 4 wires attached to it -- Black, Yellow, Red, and Green. Ok, you will have to carefully pluck this out with a screwdriver so that you know have an outlet separate from the phone, with 4 wires connecting it to the phone. Follow the 4 wires as far as you can into the phone, usually they lead to connection screws, which should be un-screwed and thereby eventually the outlet becoming a separate entity. If the wires are soldered to the base, follow them as far as possible, and snip with those scissors. Now, you should have: A handset, an outlet with 4 wires coming out. Take the unconnected end of the handset wire and plug it into the outlet to make sure it fits. Now, with all good, SNIP the BLACK and the YELLOW wires, leaving the RED and the GREEN remaining whole. Now, use your teeth and strip off about 1/4 of an inch off from the red and yellow wires. Take your alligator clips and attach one to each wire. Now, with the handset wire plugged on one end into the handset, and on the other into the outlet, you have your linesman's handset. IV. TESTING To test your new creation, find where the phone wires come into your house, (where all your phone lines should go to).. you will see a black or white box (white if it is covered with plastic).. remove this box, and you will find two terminals, with a few wires going to each. Look for a red on one, and a green on the other. Attach the respective TLH clips to the terminals, and listen to the earset.. Dial Tone?? Congrats, it works... No ?? then go back and re-read this text file, you messed up somewhere. V. USES The Linesman's handset can be used in many ways, all of which are based on the simple principle that The handset (TLH) is a tool which allows you to literally become an extension of almost any phone line. TLH's most useful application is the one of Revenge. (Aahhh so sweet in our world) .. First, you find the Telco Box in your town, it is a metal box about 4 feet off the ground on either a telephone pole, or a utility pole, and says clearly "NY Telephone" (or whatever). Next, you open it.. You can do it many ways, the best way I would say is the one of a 7/16 " hex driver .. ( This way first displayed in a Neon Knight's production ) Once you are inside, you will see all these recepticles, each one consists of two wires, and each phone in the town has one recepticle. Let's call the wire on the Right the RED WIRE, and the wire on the Left the GREEN WIRE. To put up your TLH, simply take the two alligator clips and clip the green wire of your TLH to the green wire of the box, and the red to the red. ( All this will be much clearer after you build TLH ) Now you are part of the phone line.. to find out what number you are on, just a hit ANI (Commonly 958, 959)... now its your adventure to find out information about that line. (CN/A hint hint) Once you find what you want you can do many things, use your favorite box, seek your revenge (Bug bitch operators quick with the trace, call known tracers, just box stupidly, or charge illegal Credit Card #s to that phone number and address).. This is where you use your imagination. VI. DISCLAIMER TO THE FEDS: This file was written in accordance with the Constitution of The United States' First Amendment, stating "FREEDOM OF THE PRESS."
