TAP No. 9 - Black Box (Super Duper Project)

YAPL We've got something rather special this month(or months) and you can find it inside. This article has, to our knowledge, never been publi- shed with details for use. It is so good, that it is not worth our getting hassled for printing it if you readers don't support our ac- tion by reprinting it and giving it out. Here's how to do this and make it effective; Mail it to peo- ple and places far away from you as well as in your own community. Have a stock of Xeroxed copies so when you pick up yippies hitching you can lay them onto it, and they will then spread the news. Papers should print it, and radio station people should tell listeners to write to them for a copy. In the next letter you write to anyone you know, include a copy of this article, We are really pushing this for several reasons, but mostly because it can seriosly affect Ma Bells profits and therefore policy if it goes into widespread use, § it should, It is wrong to assume that they can easily change the system and render the device in- effective, because it would take much time wherever they did it, § it would have to be done by people, who need the work anyway. Build them and sell them, but not for more than five bucks. The parts are cheap,maybe two dollars. GET GOING! BOGS.-- For those of you interested in an article on bugging and debugging devices, see Radio-Electronics, February 1972, We are forced to refer you to it because of lack of space here. Instead of being the period of good will to men on Wednesday morning our citizens were somewhat excited on learning that a resident of Main St. had cut all the telephone wires that passed over his house, thus cutting off the residents of the lower portion of the Town from its service. NUMBER 4 MARCH-APen “72 Our back issue department has a head- ache, so we're changing things a bit. We're combing thru the issues and putting together feature sheets on the major articles that appear. So far, they are as follows: Credit card calls and helpful hints, Pay phone hints, Installing phones This will speed our now sluggish back issue service, while insuring that you receive revisions and full information on past articles. Price is 25¢ each but send enough to make up for people who can't afford them (like us). When you get the shit, be sure to duplicate it immediately before it becomes all wrinkled, then start passing it out. You'll meet all kinds of far out people that. way and it's been proven that passing out YIPLs reduces the chance of heart attack, (for you but not for Rockefeller). Friends,freaks, and pigs; Of late, I have been receiving fewer computer cards to return with my bills but my friendly Public Service Co.s and good ‘ot Ma Bell persist in them. It seems to me that I once read of a local freak who not only cracked the code, but also went so far as to use it to his advantage. I feel it would be a great contribution to the cause of all of us if you were to encourage your readers to send in what they know so that you might publish it.-A key punch person. For those of you who want to know how to tell if your phone is tapped, give up. Best way to tell is by flipping a coin. Clicks mean nothing but poor service usually, and silence is often more dangerous. Don't talk on the phone! dear yipl; you should know that the check I'm sending cost nothing to write. No charges for printing checks, deposits, writing checks, monthly statements. Just watch the overdrafts and postdated checks- they cost $3 each. Write for account information to UNB,461 Forbes, Pittsburgh, Pa. 15213(that's The Union National Bank of Pittsburgh). -Your friend in New York. Dear YIPL; If any phreaks would like to visit Atlanta this way there is a pay phone on the strip near Roy Rogers drive Inn(876-9639area code 404). Its busy a lot, but if you call a dope dealing freak will probably answer. A good phone is at the U of Ga. at Atlanta. 404- 543-9224. Call a student and turn him on th the credit card code! Skinny Bobby Harper, a very. cool D.J. at WIIN would like to hear from phone phreaks. Call him and talk on the air 6 am. -9 am.Mon. thru Fri., 6am.-10 am. Sat. 404- 892-3777. Relate the credit card code to his listeners. I just had quite a good night of phreaking. After some of the best Mexican I ever had I called info in Houston. The operator was real nice. She answered my questions with "surely" and I told her that the operators in N.Y. said that too § it was just a catchy phrase that them yankees were into. She said it was in the operator's manual and I told her she sounded like a very nice girl and I was sorry that the establishment had made a robot out of her. Then she admitted to what's in the guts of every true american. She hates the phone co. Dig it! I believe that if you have the right tension bar and pick you can open up the cash box on a pay phone. See what YIPL readers can find out about this. Does opening the lock trigger an alarm in the phone co? Drop a dime or a washer in one of the old coke machines(red and short) and press the handle down all the way and get your soda, then lift up half way and press down again and out comes another coke. The whole fucking machine can be emptied for a washer or a filed-down penny. The Cheif of Security of Southern Bell here is Gerald E. McDaniels and he seems to like to talk to phone freaks. So why don't some of you people call him and tell him you're calling from with a phoney card and/or, a box.His office is 404-529- 6036. He's in and out all day chasing phreaks so call him at home. Dial 404 963-1640. He's kind of hard to catch so we advise calling between 2 and 3 am.Ask him how he's going to catch him and tell him he's full of shit. Your nameless comrade. To:YIPL Thought you might be interested in the current issue of Advertising Age. It's about poor Mr. Gerrity of ITT, who is in charge of the company's 93-MILLION DOLLAR A YEAR advertising program. If this wasn't enough, some people are saying some very unkind things about his giving $400,000 in a bribe to the Justice Department. In case any of you would like to con- sole Mr. Gerrity in this time of cri- sis, he can be reached c/o ITT,320 Park Ave.,N.Y.,N.Y. or telephone: 212- PL 2 6000. Keep up the good work! -W.,New York,N.Y. Ed. note-I urge Yipls to take advant- age of this opportunity to show how concerned we are with current events.

This article will describe to you how to receive long distance calls at no charge to the caller. The device is simple to build and use, and it is less dangerous than all other long distance methods with the exception, perhaps, of credit cards. The phone company tells you are on the phone when you are drawing direct current. This device uses a resistor to reduce the dc, and a Capacitor to ensure that the voice sounds will not be also reduced. The part values are not critical. Simply break one of the two wires (green or red) going to the phone and install the unit. Extensions cannot be used also when using this device on a call, because when an extension is picked up the de starts to flow again, and the billing starts. To use: Know when a friend is calling long distance. Normally the unit should be left on "normal", but when the call comes in, you must pick up the phone and then flip the switch to "free" within half a second. This short period of time that the phone is answered normally stops the ringing, and should be performed during a ring cycle. It sounds a lot harder than it is, because if you wait too long between pick-up and switching to "free" then the call will be disconnected, but you have to wait at least a second to do that. If you don't wait long enough, or accidentally flip switch before picking up, the ring will be heard in the earpiece along with your friend, so hang up and do it agin! It'll keep ringing until you do it the right way. On local calls, if you answer with the above procedure, you will be cut off within a short time. As always, have friends call.at varying times,§ never stay on more than 15 minutes. The device is only for incoming calls to a home phone, and the caller must call direct, without an operator. This device is so good, and so cheap, that you will probably want to Xerox this article to pass out at demonstations, riots, colleges, post on bulletin boards, send to all the underground newspapers you know of.

TAP, ROOM WE, ISA Ww. 42.37, NX,NY. 10036 See issue #11 for simpler plans] For those of us who live in New York City, a real treat may be had by visiting the new telephone building being built on Church Street below Canal. This building is described by some as the most incredibly ar- rogant piece of architecture they have ever seen. It's described by others as a monolith. It's huge, and is of solid something, but it looks like concrete. There are no windows, as in the blockhouses at Cape Kennedy. There are just these 4 huge openings about halfway up for some unknown purpose, If Hitler had had enough money and time, he would have wanted one of these battle stations for his very own. It appears capable of withstanding atomic attack, if that means anything, because if anyone were to use an atomic device, it would be our government or the phone company itself, and probably on us. Oh well, go on down and have a look at things to come. The telephone company offers its operators two kinds of headsets to wear on their heads for 8 hours a day. One kind is made of a very hard plastic and chafes and presses into the ear and side of the head. This is the standard, The other kind has a comfortable ear mount which is cushioned and much more desirable. Would you believe that you have to pay them for this type of headset if you are an operator? The phone company,after all, has to do something to make back all that money squandered on operator's outrageous salaries. Like even start charging for information calls, as they will soon be doing in many places. When that happens, we will urge people to strike phone service, phone employees to strike, and people to stop paying their extortion notices, and it looks like we should be get- ting ready.
