This guide is written in the same stream as the Real Pirates
Guides, but for the Real Phreak. This is basically what real
phreaks do and don't do according to other real phreaks...
"Written by Real Phreaks for Real Phreaks". This phile has
been written with the compiled ideas of phreaks other than
the two writers listed in the intro. Therefore, we have a
wider view of what you should be like. Well...on with the
show!!!
_____________________________________________________________
Phone Phreak - (as defined by Forest Ranger) In the mid-
1970's, cheating the phone company became the great national
pasttime among a select group known as "Phone Phreaks".
These hearty young souls knew more about the phone network
than many AT&T engineers, and they learned most of it by
reading AT&T technical journals and by experimenting with
their own phones. But today, the Phone Phreaks have been
hurt by a mass group known as the "Rodents". These Rodents
have caused much pain and sorrow to what we know today as
phreaking. This phile will show the do's and don't's of a
real Phone Phreak...
_____________________________________________________________
Real phreaks don't just leech off of BBS messages for their
codes.
Corollary: Real phreaks know that codes posted on BBS's are
the most used and are probably the closest to being unsafe.
Also, it is a known fact that pheds occasionally plant trap
codes (codes with traces) to catch the phreak at work.
Real phreaks don't worry about spelling. If their preference
of spelling cool (K00L) is different from someone elses, they
don't worry about what they say.
Real phreaks don't try to bluebox from their home if they
have ESS.
Corollary: Real phreaks know that almost anything on ESS
besides phreaking from your home is unsafe!
Real phreaks don't call out of state Atari boards (unless
they of course are an <koff!> Atari looking for wares) unless
it is a phreak board (a rare case!).
Real phreaks don't even attempt to use 2400 baud on
extenders.
Corollary: Real phreaks hope for the day that
MCI/Sprint/Metro/etc. make it safe for phreaks to do 2400
baud transmissions.
Corollary 2: Real phreaks know that extenders are the same as
phreak numbers as MCI and any other service.
Real phreaks read the Basic Telecommunications philes by BIOC
Agent 003 to find out what is safe and what is not.
Real phreaks have been on a conference.
Corollary: Real phreaks know how, and could at their will,
any time, set up a conference.
Real phreaks don't try to use pulse fones on an extender.
Corollary: If they don't have a touch tone fone, they know to
use Travelnet's voice verification (even though it's not the
safest to use from your home).
Real phreaks don't have problems obtaining numbers to their
local long distance service.
Corollary: Real phreaks don't post messages asking for the
number to the local long distance service dial-up.
Real phreaks don't spend hours redialing Diversi-Dials all
over the country, knowing that they are basically the same,
and it won't help to keep the code valid.
Corollary: Real phreaks don't call Diversi-Dials to get
recognition on their name because they know that other people
call up Diversi-Dials under false handles of other phreaks to
get attention.
Real phreaks pirate.
Real phreaks don't work for any government agency.
Real phreaks don't bust other phreaks (for any reason).
Real phreaks know that P-80 isn't a legal board for you to
call and voice your opinion about the new P-80 model of the
TRS computer.
Corollary: Real phreaks don't call boards named "H.O.M.E.",
"Family Circus", or anything else that indicates family
outings on the BBS's.
Real phreak boards aren't named "Phreak/Hack Centre USA" and
have their number posted on the Compu-Serve national BBS
listing.
Real phreaks have better things to do with their time than
have Compu-Sex through a Diversi-Dial, E-mail, or any
Dial-Your-Match BBS.
Corollary: Real phreaks get the real thing.
Real phreaks don't listen to Duran Duran...ever!
Corollary: Real phreaks change the channel with swiftness if
they hear any gay group come onto the channel they are
listening to.
Real phreaks aren't named "Mr. Phreak" on boards like
"H.O.M.E." or any legal board.
Corollary: Real phreaks can think up a creative name unlike
"Mr. Phreak" for their permanant name.
Real phreaks don't watch Saturday morning cartoons.
Real phreaks don't use their codes to call up sysops of
boards all over the country to bother them voice for hours.
Real phreaks don't have to start G-philes disks by leeching
off of other phreaks because they are original enough to
realize that they are readily available on most phreak
boards.
Real phreaks can spot a rodent 10 miles away.
Real phreaks don't get sext (sex text) philes to get off by.
Real phreaks don't watch the Bible Banger's shows on Sunday
mornings.
Real phreaks know how to separate phreak messages and hack
messages.

Well, that about wraps it up for Real Phreakers Guide Volume
1. If there is already a volume one for a Real Phreakers
Guide, well, this is our volume one. If any of this is
copied from your Real Phreakers Guide, we apologize, but this
has all been original. This has been brought around with the
help of the following phreaks:
Forest Ranger, The Lone Ranger, Napoleon Solo, and other
minor phreaks that I might have missed.
