It seems like just a while ago, I was fighting with 403Ninja over
weather CATS could release an anarchy mag that would be popular. I
remember our first few months, me and Poison wondering if he wasn't
right. Now 403 is dead and the magazine is read world wide. Things
have changed indeed.
So here we are, our second anniversary issue! In this issue we have a
lot of cool stuff. Also, a new writer Griffin contributed his phunny
story. This is a DAMN good issue!
Also this month I would like to tell everyone about two other things
Catslash is releasing soon. The first is our Tribute to
Bethlehem, a bunch of stories and info about Bethlehem and its
closing. The next is Catslash EVIL, a 'freedom' magazine (weird
stories, music, drugs, you know...). Pick them up when they come out.
Well, here's to another year of CS!

\ 403 Beige Boxing Primer /

\ Catslash Magazine issue 25, August 1998 /
''''''''''''''[File 1 of 13]''''''''''''''''
''''''''''''''
I run into people all the time that say phreaking is impossible in
Edmonton. They look at the descriptions in old or foreign files that
describe arrestor screws and they assume Telus is phreak proof.
Bullshit. Its just that no one has written a good tutorial yet. To
build a beige box check issue 1 or any good phreaking web page.
People say the beige box is outdated, but when you think of it, IT
CAN NEVER BE OUTDATED. The linesmen still need to use their handsets
to check on lines. The only lines the beige box won't work on is
fiber optic lines. Those are unphreakable unless you haul a 6 foot
high machine out there to decode it. Back on topic, every line is
phreakable. I have covered methods in other issues, but I have never
really covered phone boxes, which are used in 95% of beige boxing. So
here goes...
First find a phone box. Use our guide in issue 3 to help you. You can
always pry open the bottom box of a street lamp, but the best boxes
are main phone boxes, the big grey or green boxes with the bolt-clip
in the middle. To open these take a 7/16 hex driver (looks like a
screwdriver except with ratchet sockets) and turn it counter
clockwise. The latch will pop up. Unhook it and you will be able to
open the right door. To open the left door feel near the top right of
the left door and you'll find a latch. Pull down on the latch and the
box is open.
Now inside you'll see a lot of wires. First check the door for
wires,alligator clips, manuals and anything else you can steal. Then
check the bottom of the box for notes left by the lineman. You may
see a brown tarp on the wires, pull it off. Now, on the right are a
bunch of wires cut off at the end. On the left is a thick black cable
from the exchange. These pairs aren't active, if you get a box with
just this, it is useless. Otherwise, you will see two different
arangements of wires. One type runs up to a white case and back down
again in a loop. Another type is a set of two wires twisted with each
other running straight across the box. These are our targets.
The ones with the white rectangular casings on the end are fully
hooked up lines, the white casing is for lineman's handset clips.
The other across one is usually a temporary line hooked up quickly
by Telus for a construction site or a quick repair or a regular
phone line in a street lamp. Both are good.
Now we must find a 'pair'. A pair is noted by one color and it's
striped other. For example, you will see a blue wire with white stripes and a white wire with blue stripes. These are a pair. If they
don't have these color codes, like out in the country then you may be
able to use it, but you may also be phucked.
For a pair you can try to use the lineclips to box it. Lineclips are
alligator clips with a special spike in the middle. You clip the ring
clip into one lineclip hole in the white case, and the tip to the
inside of the box or to the other white hole with the matching pair
wire. These are usually found under the brown tarp in most boxes. The
lines here will probably be slimey, that is just a conductive
compound. A lineclip can be constructed for your beige box by
sticking a small conductive nail or screw into the hole and attaching
the alligator clip to it.
If you opened up a street light box, a box in a new area, or a
smaller usage box, you won't see the white casings, just the pairs
running across with a white "twist" (a small white clip) in the
middle. These are in my view better than lineclips. Just take a sharp
knife and strip a small section of each pair wire so you can attach
your alligator clips. DON'T CUT THE WIRE, or Telus will be in there
the next day.
If you opened up a box with all different color wires you can have
phun. Those use the old ED-Tel codes and you need an ED-Tel color
chart to decode them. Your best method is to guess and test. A lot of
pairs will be wrapped together. The basic color codes go as follows:
RING: Blue, Orange, Green, Brown, Slate (grey) TIP: White, Red,
Black, Yellow, Violet (purple). You can try to match them with these.
Strip off a section of each and test.
Now attach your clips to the places you stripped. Be careful, because
if your clips don't have rubber shielding on the grip you will get a
fun little jolt. You will hear a scraping sound and the dialtone turn
on. A beige box with a glowing keypad is nice because when it
connects the keypad lights up. If you attach it backwards you won't
get a dialtone or only get pulse dial, so reverse them.
Now your ready to kick ass! Depending on what kind of services they
have blocked, you can do a lot of stuff. You can dial anywhere and
harass anyone. A phun thing to do is start up a three way conference
with another beige box or two other people. To find out the number of
the line you are on dial ANI, which is 311. Another phun thing is to
get a beige box with a mute switch and listen in on the owner's
calls. You can get a lot of cool info.
Also, with the line you have you can plug in other boxes. A scarlet
box is a wire run in between the pair wires. An aqua box (see issue
2) will suck the voltage out of his line. A gold box will let you go
to a payphone and dial out of his number. There are hundreds of other
phun boxes you can use. Just look on the net for phreaking boxes. A
good strike at vengeance is to plug in a form of blotto box and melt
his phones/modems/fax/hand. A blotto box can be made by zapping the
line with a stungun or high voltage power line (from a nearby power
box maybe?). Wheeeeee......the fun you can have.
Well, I hope you have fun. But there are a few warnings tho. Be
careful if you call friends. If its local its probably ok, but long
distance is out. If Telus does trace your phreind's number make him
say that it was just a prank call. Maybe prank call a few numbers
before and after calling the person so the caller logs say it was
probably a prank call.
As for harassing random people, beware of call display. If the person
who picks up sounds bewildered, chances are they have caller ID.
Harassing these people can help you lose your line. We were on a
showhome line once when we prank called a narc. He traced the call
and the owners of the showhome thought someone broke into the house
to use the phone. In a few days Telus pulled the line and it was lost
to us. If you do reach one, it might be good to say its a wrong
number rather than lose your box or have Telus security investigating
your box.
A final one is to keep as hidden as possible. Use a flashlight with a
red filter, since a plain one is very noticable. Also try to move a
bunch of garage sale or house for sale signs in front of the box so
drivers can't see you. A good thing to do is run the pairs out the
back of the box so you can plug in behind it. Keep as hidden as
possible. Most people don't know about phreakers and won't call you
in, but when a Telus Security van drives up and parks in front of
you, I guarantee it will scare the shit out of you.
Well, I hoped I've given you a hell of a beige boxing primer. This
should be a lot better than the description in issue 1. Have phun!

''''''''''''''[File 2 of 13]''''''''''''''''
''''''''''''
There was this guy who came by my house everyday to deliver flyers. This guy
everyday would also for some strange reason unscrew my front light bulb. This got
annoying after a while so I warned him to stop. One day later the bastard did it
again. It was time to strike him.
Luckily I knew where he lived, I had seen him before in the neighbourhood. I went
to his place and nailed a board across his front door. I thought he would get the
hint but he didn't! So I started nailing other things shut like his front gate and
back garage door. He still didn't get it. I was so pissed off that after nailing
boards across his doors I started hammering the nails into his door locks. This was
getting pretty funny.
One day he was in his house so I nailed his garage door and gate shut. His garage
was one of those types with no big door only a small one for his flyer bike. Then
he came out and went to his garage. I went up front and nailed his front door and
gate shut. In the morning he was trapped in his yard! He left the house through the
front window.
After this he installed a camera by his front door so I used more substle methods.
I mailed him fun things like old soup. This started to get boring after a while.
I went back and placed duct tape over the camera lens. I pulled on the camera and
it came out of the wall! I placed some liquid steel in his gate locks and went home
with my prize.
At home I opened up the camera and pulled out the lens. I used a fine brush with
black paint and painted a little man on it. I put the lens back into the camera and
left the camera in his mailbox.
One week later the bugger changed his flyer route. He finally got the hint. I don't
think he ever really knew who was doing it, just that it was someone on his route.
Sometimes I'm tempted to go over there again, but I think the game is over.

|Poison didn't do the Vengeance Column this month, so I'm here to |
|fill in. If you have an annoying neighbour, then this should be |
|phun beacuse today's topic is... |
|===================================================================|
| * Fun With Lawns * |
|===================================================================|
Now, I look at my lawn as an annoying thing that I have to cut every
week, and personally I wouldn't care if it it died off tommorrow.
However, my neighbours seem to think that their lawn is some kind of
precious status symbol or something. That's their weakness.
The best thing to do is bleach it. Bleach will turn any grass you
pour it on totally white, and then it will kill it. This is great for
writing messages like "fuck you", "anarchy rules", "revenge hurts"
etc. because the white makes it stick out very good. You can also
pour the bleach on their car or flowers as you leave for more fun.
Another thing to do is pour oil on the lawn. Oil is a great grass
killer. If you pour it on their lawn it will be all yellow and brown
in days. The same effects can also be acheived with paint thinner and
piss. If you can get ahold of round-up plant poison the effects are
amazing! Nothing will grow there for four years! Its funny to see
them dish out hundreds of dollars for more sod that'll die in a
month.
Do they mow their lawn during hours when you need sleep? Teach them
good by spreading small rocks, finishing nail, nuts and other
assorted objects that a power mover will pick up and toss. Great fun
for everyone in the yard!
So they're leaving for holidays. Don't let their nice lawn go to
hell. Turn their outdoor tap on and leave it so the grass gets water.
I'm sure they won't mind paying the large water bill, especially if
its during drought season when rates are higher! If they have no
outdoor tap, no problem. Just add a few bags of nitric fertilizer to
it. The funny thing about nitric fertilizer is that if it dosen't get
watered real good it tends to burn out the plants its trying to help.
oops!
There's always the old favourite. Pull onto the lawn in low gear and
peel outa there. This'll throw grass all over and lets them know they
are hated. As a downside they'll probably hear you. Make sure they
don't know your vehicle.
Well, there are a few tips on wasteing a stupid plant. Maybe next
month poison will be here. Have phun!

Go to the mail box area (where you get your mail) find the little
section where it says: outgoing mail, and there's a little area for
you to drop your letter in there. (I'm not talking about the blue mail
boxes,I'm talking about the small ones you should have where you get
your mail, by the mail box.) Now, take the litte "tool" and put it in
there. Fish around until you think you got soemthing then pull it out
and hope it's something important.
WHY YOU NEED THIS: Well seniour dumbass, a couple of reasons for you
to have this is: maybe you'll find a credit card number or other
important info like that, money, passwords, and other information.
HOW TO MAKE "IT": you need some REALLY sticky chewing gum. You need
some string. You need a little stick ( not necesary. Now tie the
string unto the stick. Then attach the sticky piece of chewing gum on
the stirng and put it in the slot.

''''''''''''''[File 6 of 13]''''''''''''''''
''''''''''''''
Last august I taught you how to make an arrow launcher that I
designed, there were two mistakes in it though.
1. Number 12 had popsicle stick where straw was supposed to be.
2. The file wasn't finished.
Here is the rest of it starting from Number 12, sorry for the mistake.
