8. Its a goofy box, not sure if it works. Heres a list of most of the boxes and what they do 09. What do all the colored boxes do? Acrylic Steal Three-Way-Calling, Call Waiting and programmable Call Forwarding on old 4-wire phone systems Aqua Drain the voltage of the FBI lock-in-trace/trap-trace Beige Lineman's hand set Black Allows the calling party to not be billed for the call placed Blast Phone microphone amplifier Blotto Supposedly shorts every fone out in the immediate area Blue Emulate a true operator by seizing a trunk with a 2600hz tone Brown Create a party line from 2 phone lines Bud Tap into your neighbors phone line Chartreuse Use the electricity from your phone line Cheese Connect two phones to create a diverter Chrome Manipulate Traffic Signals by Remote Control Clear A telephone pickup coil and a small amp used to make free calls on Fortress Phones Color Line activated telephone recorder Copper Cause crosstalk interference on an extender Crimson Hold button Dark Re-route outgoing or incoming calls to another phone Dayglo Connect to your neighbors phone line Divertor Re-route outgoing or incoming calls to another phone DLOC Create a party line from 2 phone lines Gold Dialout router Green Emulate the Coin Collect, Coin Return, and Ringback tones Infinity Remotely activated phone tap Jack Touch-Tone key pad Light In-use light Lunch AM transmitter Magenta Connect a remote phone line to another remote phone line Mauve Phone tap without cutting into a line Neon External microphone Noise Create line noise Olive External ringer Party Create a party line from 2 phone lines Pearl Tone generator Pink Create a party line from 2 phone lines Purple Telephone hold button Rainbow Kill a trace by putting 120v into the phone line (joke) Razz Tap into your neighbors phone Red Make free phone calls from pay phones by generating quarter tones Rock Add music to your phone line Scarlet Cause a neighbors phone line to have poor reception Silver Create the DTMF tones for A, B, C and D Static Keep the voltage on a phone line high Switch Add hold, indicator lights, conferencing, etc..

10. Hey, speaking of boxes, does anyone know if the mauve box is real? It sounds too good to be true.

11. Mauve Phone tap without cutting into a line That is the definition you are thinking of right? Well ill just copy paste these bbs files and see if it comes through ok... /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | How to Build Your Own | | | | | /| _ __ | | | / | |_| | | | | |__ | | | | | | |_| / |__ | | __ | | | _ | | |__/ / _/ | | | _/ / | | |__/ / | | _________/ | | | _________________________/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ____________________________ | Created by Captian Generic | | With Help from The Genetic | | Mishap. This File Created | | November 24th, 1986, 19:08 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please bear with me, as the construction of this box will seem rather silly. This box was found in a construction site. Or rather, it found us at a construction site. We were using a $5 Radio Shack phone out of a semi-completed office building. One afternoon during a holiday, and immediately following a storm, we found our bus in shambles. To our suprise, we also found that one of the phone connections we were tapping had been draped through a murky puddle. The fact that suprised us even more was that this line still worked and now posessed some great capibilities. Materials: 2 tupperware or similar 8oz contianers 1 small bag earth (dirt) (12oz) 1 pint water 2 lantern batteries 1 nine volt battery 1 battery clip 2 SPST switches 4 ounces of iron shavings 2 polar magnets 5 feet wire 1 set soldering equipment This is the part you won't believe. Take the tupperware containers, and fill them with a mixture of the earth and the iron shavings. Make sure that the mixture is well done. (*NOTE* for best results, use the sand in fine ash trays.) Cut the cut the red and green wires and splice the switches into them. From the switches, solder wire to the magnets. Connect the red to the + (positive) side of one magnet, and the green to the - (negative) side of the second magnet. From the other poles of the magnet, solder wires the battery & clip. Make sure the + (positive) and - (negative) are correct. Set the nine-volt battery between the two tupperware containers and place the battery end of the two magnets into the tupperware. Now connect wire to the two poles of the lantern battery, and place them in the same containers as the poles of the magnets/9-volt battery. You are almost done. Finally, add just enough water to the two pots, and let them sit in the sun and bake like bricks. at this point, you have a MAUVE BOX. Explaning and Using What You Have: The red and green wires have been places into a magnetic field which is being charged continually be a lantern battery. (It is necessary to change this battery every one to one and a half months.) This will literaly pull in the nearest phone conversatiion. (Don't try this in a big apartment or dorm.) When the 9-volt battery is connected, this will now create enough current for the poles of the magnets to reverse themselves (perhaps you're seen Mr. Wizard do this. It's just like with the soap). At this point, you have a phone transmitting to one (if not more) of the nearest phones. (Again, if you're in a dorm, don't try this.) I suppose this just accomplishes what a tap would do, but with a MAUVE BOX, your fingerprints never will show on a terminal or on someones telephone lines. Notes and Addendum: This will only work with a touch-tone phone connected to a phone line. When the switches are pulled, it's off your line and into the air. This is named a MAUVE BOX, becuase this is the most disgusting box, and I find mauve to be the single most disgusting colour I know of. Also, this file is for information purposes only. This is not to be used in an illegal mannar. Perhaps one of these by the pool, sending to your sethe co-author, accept no responsibility for your actions with the MAUVE BOX. Thank you... Its an old file :-)

12. unfotrunately "blue boxing" does not work in most parts of the world anymore. but just so you know, you are going to need the KP and ST tones to go before and after the number you want to dial. for example: you could dial 0 then wait for the operator to answer and blow the 2600hz tone (you have now seized a trunk). now, since you need to tell the system what you want to do you would blow a KP tone. this tells the system that you want to make a call. after the KP tone you would dial the 10 digit telephone number and to make the call go through you would blow a ST tone. the reason your red box may not have worked is because there are payphones out there that do not allow the microphone to be turned on before you pay for the call. it could also be the volume level of the tones being played. the trick is to not play them to loudly because when you put money in (for real) you can barely hear the beeping in the background signaling that the money was placed and to let you call. and you should always try to 'cup' your hand around the ear phones (from ipod) and the microphone (from the phone) incase it is windy...etc... external noise from anything else can destort the tones. now if you want to try something really nifty! you can get some green box tones!! "oooooo ahhhhhhh" what does this do you might ask ? well ill tell you. a green box plays tones into the pay phone so that when you actually put in coins, the phone holds them from going down into the money collector when you hang up. one tone is played for holding the coins and the other is played for releasing them through the coin return. if you like hands on things you should also look for somethig called a "pearl box" When constructed, there will be 4 or 5 knobs depending on which model you make. 4 of the 5 will be for the number places (tens hundreds etc.) so you can control the frequency of the tone you would like. and yep! you guessed it! you can make all the tones with this box. (the 5th knob being for volume and there will be a button to press that plays the tone on an 8ohm speaker) all the plans for these boxes can be found at www.textfiles.com when you get to this site scroll down and click on the link that says "where are the files?" from there click on "phreak" (meaning telephone hacker if you didnt know) and phreak away! and as a side note the "phreaks" change the f to a ph and a ph to an f on words that they feel like changing them on...for example "the phreak plays with the fone" have fun and dont get caught LOL (it is also a good thing to know that modding your home phone with tapping devices, any kinds of boxes..etc.. is perfectly legal(accept for the ones that get you free calls). only when you do it to someone elses phone without asking is when it becomes illegal :P )

13. ok i just downloaded the redbox nickel dime and quarter tones and stuck them on my ipod. i went to my local pay phone and tried all of them and i got nothing. i havent triend the blue box method of dialing something then a 2600 tone then dial though. does this need to be done on older phones, or do i need to get the volume right?

14. Could you use DTFM chips for this? As the PCD3312C by Phillips Semiconducters seems quite suitable and cheap... $3

15. Hi i was wondering where i could buy a portable tone dialer since radio shack no longer sells them??????

Posted at 3:33PM on Sep 3rd 2006 by Paublo

16. how can i make my ipod into a redbox? and can i download the tones off the internet?

Posted at 3:33PM on Sep 3rd 2006 by Blaine

17. I modded the new tone dialer pictured before. It does not allow you to pay a quarter (5 tones), but I was successfully able to emulate the nickel. (one tone only) The reason is that the timing of this dialer is too slow to play the five tones quick enough for a phone system. Since the nickel sound is just a single tone, timing issues are no problem, only frequency which is solved by using the 6.5536mhz crystal. Since you dont want to hit the nickel a ton of times every call, you can program the following string to emulate many nickels. *0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0* etc... This way the 0 digit plays a tone that the phone doesnt care about (its not the tone of any "real" frequency the phone uses) so you can use the 0 for timing. If you just program: **************** etc... The tones are played too close together causing it to sound sorta like a quarter but not close enough to work.. usually prompting an operator to come on the line (almost every time) when it phreaks out and confuses the system. moral of the story use, *0*0*0*0*0*0.. . Also this is a GREAT tone dialer for programming real numbers in (digital display etc.) actually using it for its real purpose. Sooo... I suggest installing a murcury switch or toggle switch (or even modify one of the push buttons? ). This way you can switch from mod or unmodded. Leaving both crystals in. Theres not a whole lot of room inside the dialer though... its very sleek.. Anyways great mod! You can program a special string into the dialer that will try all possible answering machine secret codes (often only two digits) since they usually dont mind you trying multiple guesses... for the phat phingered... Then you will have an old school red box and answering machine hacker in one!!! HAHA the Radio Shack guy (idiots..) told me the same thing when I modded my first tone dialer! "This is the last one, we wont be getting more.. and Ill sell it for 24.95" They must have this as a speel? I went back about 6 months later and they had "their last two left, and they will give me a 24.95 deal" Maybe they were told to say this so you dont go buying ten and modding them. (apparently Rad Shack is wise to red boxers, scanner modification etc.) And Im really saddened to say.. both the red box, and A.M. hack, both old school tricks... still work here in select parts of san diego, CA. one of the biggest cities! you would think people would learn by now... Here is the string for those of you who have modified the redbox and tone dialer and want a cool answering machine hacker.. obviously play this in normal tones. (you can even manually dial this for those who dont have the dialer) "In this example, from a letter published in 2600 Magazine: The Hacker's Quarterly (www.2600.com), an answering machine of this type with a 2-digit code can be accessed with the following keystroke combination: 001122334455667788991357902468036925814715937049483827261605173950628408529630074197 531864209876543210 If you examine the above string, every two-digit number combination has been entered (00, 01, 11, 12, etc.) Keep in mind that that string is the maximum amount of numbers you would need to enter to access that box. On average, you'd enter about half."

18. You cal also store the $0.25 tone in a cell phone that has a voice recorder or memo feature (The idea would be you could have an old phone with no wireless service, but it is still useful) THEY CALL ME PASTABAGEL

19. What's a blue box then?

Posted at 3:33PM on Sep 3rd 2006 by melonhead

20. In reply to the person above, the blue box was a tone generator. It was used to spit out a 2,600 hz tone which was the switch for long distance calls. One could blow this tone during a call, and be left in a limbo of sorts. The next step would be to use the frequencies for dialing numbers, and 'dial' the number you wanted. The most common use was to dial zero, then blow the blue box, and then dial the number you wanted. my 2 cents.
