BLUE BOXING
[===========]
THIS IS THE TONE MATRIX FOR A BOX WHICH GENERATES TONES THAT
OPERATORS USE TO DIAL..ROTARY WORKS AS WELL, ON OPERATOR LINES,
BUT THIS IS TECHNOLOGICAL(!). NOW I AGREE WITH THE OPINION O F A
WELL KNOWN PHREAK THAT 'BOXING' IS/WILL BE FOR THE MOST PART
DEAD, BUT THIS IS TRADITION... FIRST,YOU DIAL DIR.ASST, OR AN
OPER. ETC , THEN YOU BLAST THE LINE WITH A 2600HZ TONE. THIS
GIVES YOU THE LINE, THIS IS ALSO HOW MA BELL TRACKS DOWN BLUE
BOXERS... THERE ARE 2600HZ DETECTORS SY STEMS, AND EVEN ON OLD
#4 CROSSBARS... ONCE ON A OPER.TRUNK LINE, YOU USE YOUR BLUE
BOX/ROTARY TDO DIAL...
SO, IF YOU USE 2600HZ, WHICH IS NECESSARY, UNLESS YOU ARE
- VERY* CAREFUL, YOU WILL BE SNAGGED.
FINALLY, THIS IS WHAT YOU READ! SO LONG
AND HARD FOR:
700 : 1 : 2 : 4 : 7 : 11 :
900 : + : 3 : 5 : 8 : 12 :
1100 : + : + : 6 : 9 : KP :
1300 : + : + : + : 10 : KP2 :
1500 : + : + : + : + : ST :
: 900 : 1100 : 1300 : 1500 : 1700 :
USE KP TO START A CALL, AND ST TO STOP, WITH THE BELOVED 2600HZ
TONE TO DIS CONNECT. I ALSO HEAR THAT 2600HZ RESETS SPRINT NODES
AND GIVES YOU THEIR INITIAL TONE..
NOW, IF YOU'RE WONDERING ABOUT WHAT TO CALL FROM AN
OPERATOR TRUNK, HERE ARE SOME GOODIES TO HELP YOU OUT:
XXX+101 - TOLL SWITCHING
XXX+121 - LOCAL OPERATOR
XXX+131 - INFORMATION
XXX+141 - RATE & ROUTE
XXX+181 - COIN REFUND OPERATOR
XXX+11501 - MOBILE OPERATOR
XXX+11521 - MOBILE OPERATOR
XXX+11511 - CONFERENCE OPERATOR
---CONCERNING ABOVE
FIRST THE TONES. WHILE ALL THE INFORMATION IS CORRECT,
THE TIMING SPECS WERE NOT INCLUDED . THE TONE PAIRS ARE TO
REMAIN ON FOR 1/10 SEC. WITH 1/10 SEC. OF SLIENCE BETWEEN
DIGITS. THE 'KP' TONES SHOULD BE SENT FOR 2/10 SEC. A WAY TO
DEFEAT THE 2600HZ TRAPS IS TO SEND ALONG WITH THE 2600HZ
SOME PINK NOISE(MOST OF THE ENERGY IN THIS SIGNAL SHOULD BE
ABOVE 3000HZ, THIS SIGNAL WON'T MAKE IT OVER THE TOLL NETWORK,
BUT SHOULD CARRY AS FAR AS YOUR LOCAL TOLL CENTER SO THAT THE
TRAPS WON'T FIND 'PURE' 2600HZ ON THE TRUNK. THIS IS NOT A
PERFECTLY SAFE WAY TO BOX, BUT IT SHOULD SLOW DOWN THE DISCOVERY.
AS TO USE, THE FIRST THING YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT
THERE ARE TWO(2) TYPES OF TOLL COMPLETING TRUNKS: INWARD AND
OUTWARD. THE NAMES ARE REFERENCE TO THE OFFICE THAT IS SWITCHING
THE CALL(THE TOLL CENTER THAT SERVES THE WATS LINE YOU CALLED)
AND EACH TYPE OF TRUNK HAS A DIFFERENT CLASS OF SERVICE. FROM
AN INWARD TOLL COMPLETING TRUNK, YOU CAN REACH THE DIFFERENT
SERVICE OPERATORS, THE TOLL TEST BOARD, AND THE INWARD OPERATOR.
SOME OFFICES ALSO ALLOW REMOTE TESTING AND IT IS IN THESE OFFICES
THAT YOU CAN ACCESS THE OUTWARD TOLL COMPLETING TRUNKS. THE OUT
WARD TRUNKS ALLOW YOU TO MAKE VERIFICATION(EMERGENCY) CALLS,
DO SERVICE MONITORING(TAPPING), STACK TRUNKS(BUSY OUT ALL TRUNKS
BETWEEN LA AND NYC), ENABLE AND DISABLE TSPS POSITIONS, AN D IN
SOME CASES(ON SOME 4A'S) ISSUE TEMPORARY REROUTING INSTRUCTIONS(
SEND ALL CALLS FROM LA TO NYC VIA MIAMI, BOSTON, OR ANY OTHER
CLASS 5 OFFICE OR OFFICES). BOTH TYPE OF TRUNKS ALLOW YOU TO
PLACE A 'STANDARD' CALL WITH A BOX.
IN SOME OFFICES, MOSTLY THE SMALL ONES WITH A TOLL TEST
BOARD THAT IS UNATTENDED AT NIGHT AND ON WEEKENDS, YOU CAN GET
AN OUTWARD TOLL COMPLETING TRUNK AS WELL AS PERFORMING OTHER TEST
AND ROUTING FUNCTIONS. YOU DO THIS BY USING THREE DIGIT CODES
THAT ARE INVALID EXCHANGES(NOT OF THE PATTERN NNX[SEE NOTE 1]).
DURING THE SIXITES THE CODES USED WERE FAIRLY STANDARD AND
CONSISTENT, HOWEVER WHEN THE BOXES BECAME POPULAR AND THE
PHREAKS STARTED DOING THINGS LIKE ROUTING ALL CALLS FROM DALLAS
TO FT. WORTH VIA WASHINGTON D.C. MOTHER STARTED CHANGING THE
TEST CODES ON A RANDOM(AS FAR AS I KNOW ) BASIS. WHAT I WOULD
SUGGEST IS THAT EVERYBODY INTERESTED IN DOING THIS SORT OF THING
PICK OUT A NICE QUIET LITTLE OFFICE SOMEWHERE AND WORK ON
DISCOVERING THE CODES ACCEPTABLE TO THAT OFFICE.
EACH NUMBERING PLAN AREA (NPA, ALSO KNOWN AS AREA CODE)
HAS AN OFFICE DESIIGNATED AS ITS MASTER OFFICE. THIS OFFICE CONT
ROLS ALL OF THE OTHER TOLL OFFICES IN THE AREA AS WELL AS SERVING
AS A CONCENTRATION POINT FOR MOST OUT OF AREA CALLS. TO ACCESS
THE SERVICES OF A NON-MASTER OFFICE YOU NEED IT'S 'CITY CODE',
THIS IS A THREE(3) DIGIT CODE THAT IS OF THE FORM 0XX, AND IS
SENT AFTER THE AREA CODE[SEE NOTE 2 ]. AS AN EXAMPLE, THE 'CITY
CODE' FOR CANTON, OHIO IS 042; TH US TO REACH THE INWARD
OPERATOR IN CANTON, YOU WOULD SEND 'KP-216 -042-121-ST' WHERE AS
IF YOU WANTED THE INWARD OPERATOR IN CLEVELA ND, YOU WOULD SEND
'KP-216-121- ST'. THE REASON THIS IS NECESSARY IS THAT THE
OPERATOR IN CLEVELAND CAN'T VERIFY A NUMBER IN CANTON, SO IF
YOU WANT TO VERIFY SOMEONE IN CANTON YOU NEED THE CITY CO DE.
ALSO, MOST AREA MASTER OFFICES HAVE DEDICATED DATA TRUNKS TO THE
NETWORK CONTROL CENTER AND THUS DON'T ACCEPT TEST AND REROUTING
COMMANDS OVER THE SWITCHED NETWORK.
IN CONCLUSION, THE SWITCHING NETWORK WILL DO A LOT MORE
FOR YOU THEN CONNECT YOU TO PEOPLE AND THE SMALL OFFICES THAT
REQUIRE A 'CITY CODE' ARE THE TYPE OF OFFICE TO TRY TO BREAK.
NOTE 1: THE NORMAL FORMAT FOR TELEPHONE NUMBERS IS
AS FOLLOWS: NYN/NNX-XXXX. WHERE N=ANY DIGIT EXCE PT 1 AND 0;
Y=0 OR 1 , AND X=ANY DIGIT. YES I KNOW THAT IN SOME AREA
CODES THE NNX FORMAT HAS CHANGED TO NXX. THIS IS A NEW
OCCURRENCE AND ONLY OCCUR WHERE THERE HAS BE AN OUTRAGEOUS
POPULATION INCREASE IN THE LAST FEW YEARS AND ALL OF THE FUNNY
EXCHANGES ARE CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO MASTER OFFICES AND THUS
DON'T CONFLICT WITH THE 'CITY CODE' FORMAT.
NOTE 2: YOU CAN OBTAIN THE 'CITY CODE' FOR A NUMBER BY
CALLING RATE AND ROUTE AND ASKING FOR THE 'NUMBERS ROUTE' TO
NYN/NNX(I.E. 914/725). OR IF YOU LEAVE ME A MESSAGE WITH THE
AREA CODE AND FIRST THREE OF A NUMBER, I WILL GET YOU THE
'CITY CODE'.
