Before I get into the technocal side of canning, let me explain what it
is. Canning is using homemade equipment to tap into TeleCo cans and do
whatever you wish. When you tap into a line, you are on an extension of
that line. No calls you make while canning can be traced back to your
home phone number. It's a good idea to take your phone off the hook,
and let it go dead before you go canning, though, or else you might
just be ripping yourself off.
Tools you'll need:
A set of screwdrivers (both regular and phillips in several sizes).
A pair of cutters.
A pair of wire strippers.
A pair of needle-nose pliers.
A few spools of low-resistance wire are indespensable.
Something to carry all this in, like a backpack.
A Beige Box, Lineman's handset, or the DLOC Box
Where to find trunks:
In my area (Cincy, Ohio), most trunks are in either the green boxes
labeles "Cincinnati Bell". However, I have noticed some new boxes that
are increasingly common. These are little silver rectangular boxes
about 1 foot by 4 inches. In these, the trunks will be arranged as
bellow:
!-----------------------!
! 0 0 0 0 0 0! !
! 1 2 3 4 5 6! !
! 1 2 3 4 5 6 !
! 0 0 0 0 0 0 !
! With a mass of multi !
! colored wire here and !
---------!a pipe!--------
!going !
! down !
! !
Where the pipe goes, I don't know. (To hell I suspect) Anyway, the
1,2,3, etc are the terminals, and the 0's are the screws that hold each
terminal in the box. To open this type of trunk, just bend the bottom
side flanges out, push the cover up, and then pull out. The other type
(the green things) are pretty much universal to all areas. To get into
those bastards, you'll need a 7/16" socket and a ratchet. Just turn the
security bolt 1/8 inch and viola! You're in. I have yet to see a green
box that's got a padlock on it. I think the AT&T boys can't remember
the combinations, but anyway, if you find one with a lock, just cut the
lock and get rid of it.
Once you're in:
Once you're in, raise some hell! You have access to all the trunks in
the box. You can call anywhere and it will show up on whoever's bill
that terminal belongs to.
I'm sure you can think of something to do. Start a conference if you
want, just dial 0-700-456-1000 for alliance teleconferencing in
Chicago. If you plan to be on that line for long, I'd advise you to
switch it's line over to another line, so no one will pick up their
fone and hear "Hey modem humper, did you ever hack out that telemail
account?" They'd probably shot their pants! Just take the wire that is
on the terminals already, and hook it up to another set of terminals.
I'm not including directions on how to hook up the Beige Box / HandSet
DLOC Box, because #1, that's in the DLOC Box file, the Biege Box file,
and almost every other file on canning I've ever seen. Just remember,
red-right-ring, or something like that. I figure if you've gotten this
far, then you already know all that shit, though.
Use some common sense, too. Don't go opening cans in broad daylight on
main street. Look for trunks in alleys situated so that you can run a
wire behind something and not be seen or heard. The spot I found is in
an alley behind a Super-X Drug Store that's near 200 feet long, with
the trunks adjacent to a dumpster, about 190 feet into the alley, with
no windows in the buildings on either side. This type of setup is hard
to find, so don't abuse it. Try to leave everything just like you found
it, and don't destroy anything. We set up a conference on alliance
that lasted for 4 hours one night, and they still don't know how it
happened, or who did it. Just Be Careful.

Note: You might not be seeing too many files from me for a while. It
seems someone followed my "trashing schools" file exactly, stole over
$3000 worth of computer equiptment, and was busted. The police found
printouts of a few text files I wrote, and supposedly suspect that a
terrorist organization is at work. HA! I'll type in the article when I
get a copy of it. It should be good for some laughs
