Hey cats, this is Lo-Fi. It's like 1.30 where I'm at.
I'm calling in. I haven't checked to see if any of you left messages.
I'm shouting out to all those kids I met on DellNet on IRC.
I'm out in the bed and looking for someone to shout at.
Give me a message back on this here machine.
Little thing. Push some buttons to send a message to me.
Okay, please? Thanks.
Hi, man. I'm here.
Hey, what's going on, everybody? It's WheelDust. How's it going today?
Hey, I have two questions.
Well, one's not a question, actually.
I just did this for the purpose of sharing the date on the message.
And the other thing that is related is about...
is, you know, I just got DirecTV here,
and I, because you can't get cable where I live,
and I was wondering if anybody knows where you can get those test cards,
because, you know, some of them I found, like, this website, right?
It said $175,
and then beside it, it looked like it was the same thing for $450.
So I don't really understand exactly what, you know, how it works and that,
so I was wondering if anybody knows.
You can get back to me here or...
or at...
email account.
I don't care about this account.
If it gets bombed, it doesn't really matter.
That's W-H-E-E-L-D-U-S-T

Yo, what's up? This is Dr. Joker. Looking for some intelligent people. Any new info out there that you can post it up. Any latest gadgets, whatever.
Please say the name you are calling or the voice command after the beep.
Thank you. Goodbye.
I'd just like to say that everybody should speak up a little because for some people it's hard to hear their voices.
Dwayne, you recorded message 256. You live in Manhattan. You want to go to Blackout Books and Info Shop. It's on 50av B in Manhattan, Ireland.
And I know that's, well, you can get there. Anyway, go there. They might not have books. If you can't find books there, just go to the library, get on the internet for an hour or two and just type in phreaking.
Go to like Yahoo or some crazy search site and just type in phreaking. You'll find stuff. It's there. It's not hard to find. Go get it.
Hi, this is Enigma from the Indiana, 2600. We're just calling to report back about the meeting. We had about 15 people there. We've been having about like that many people.
It's been going for the last three months now, so we were hoping we'd be in the magazine on the new issue.
So I went through the phone system here and tried to get information about it. I put in 317, which is the area code for Indianapolis, where the meetings are, and it gave me the info to Cincinnati.
So if that could be changed, the info is it's at Ben & Jerry's in the Circle City or Circle Center Mall in downtown Indianapolis.
All the information is on the site at IN2600.com. Thank you.
All right. If you want to call Hot Phone Sites, you've got credit cards, call 1-800-975-5455. That's 1-800-975-5455.

Looking for CCs, Visa or MasterCard, with their name.
And that's it. Expiration date, yeah.
And that's about it.
Yeah, hi. This is one of the guys from the 2600 meeting here in Ottawa, Canada.
And we'd like to do a meeting change because we've changed maybe two, three months ago,
and we've been putting this off.
So we're calling right now, and we're going to do a meeting change.
The new place we're actually having it is at Café Kuo Vadis.
Spelling Kuo Vadis is Q-U-O space V-A-D-I-S, which is on 521 Sussex Drive.
Sussex Drive, actually, it's two stores down where we used to have it.
And the phone number is 789-1819.
Could you please change that in your actual magazine and on your webpage?
We'd appreciate it.
And a little information, by the way, we have our meetings right in front of the American Embassy,
and it looks like a goddamn battleship.
We'll send you a picture one time.
Freaked me out when I first thought.
Anyways, sorry to bother you.
Have a nice day. Bye.
Hey, how's it going, everybody?
All fellow phreakazoids here.
You got the captain here, Captain B.
Does anybody happen to know any good places to BeigeBox within Philly?
Any good places to BeigeBox?
Low-profile locations.
I think you should know what I mean.
In other words, places out of plain view, you know, alleyway, anything like that.
Just something that's directly off the streets.
Locations like that seem to be really hard to come by.
I have yet to find one such location myself.
That's why I came here.
Hopefully, there's somebody else out there that is from the same area here, too.
Hopefully.
And also, too, if anybody also within the area, within the city, I should say,
would happen to know of any of those double-door, tan, phone junction boxes that are un-padlocked,
those seem to be hard to come by, and also in a low-profile location.
I found a rare few that are not padlocked, but they still seem to be in fairly high-profile locations more often than not.
So, well, actually, always, I should say, for all the ones I found.
So, any help on this would be tremendously appreciated.
Want to voice me back about it?
Voice me back at 1-800-766-7464.
Once again, 1-800-766-7464.
And let me thank anyone in advance that answers, gives clear, concise answers to my questions.
Thank you.
That is it.
Peace out.
Hi, folks.
Not a subscription problem or anything like that,
but I thought you might want to know that your distributors here on the West Coast are screwing up royally again.
I know you've had the current issue up on the site for the last couple weeks.
Basically, I've been into probably about 30 bookstores between L.A. and San Francisco, as well as Sacramento.
And none of them have it.
They don't know when it's coming in.
They don't even know if they're getting it or not.
This is Barnes & Noble, Borders, Independence, everybody.
So there's something screwy going on on this end of things.
Anyhow, thanks so much.
Take it easy, and have a good one.
Bye.
What's the matter?
The lamers don't even know how to talking to the receiver of a phone?
What the fuck?
You need to leave a message or get off.
Uh, yeah, hello.
Look, um, you've just got to get all that stuff off your unmoderated board
because you've got idiots here, and all they're doing now,
make a message, and all this is part of a song.
And the next one should be another part of that song,
so you can just sort of clear all that garbage off.
This is Jaffa, by the way of World Hacker Federation.
I would just like to agree with the last caller.
I think this is really lame, and I can't, like, stand spending half the time trying to find out
if there's anything interesting on this board
and have it all be people playing, like, whatever they feel like playing musically on this board.
I mean, not what this is for.
Um, thanks, uh, for, uh, saying that, whoever you were, last person, who called in.
And, uh, to the people who, like, spend all their time putting two tons of music on this board,
uh, you know, please grow up.
Thanks.
You two guys who called and left the last two messages, those are, I should let you know,
those are the first two new messages in, like, I don't know how many months.
But all those ones that you guys have been scanning about and, like,
complaining that there's nothing useful, those have been there for months and months and months.
Like, those are old.
Like, I don't know where the people have been going and telling stuff, but it's certainly not here.
So, don't bother trying.
Everybody should call 902-566-999-8.
It's interesting.
I'm not sure what it is, but try it anyway.
This is Grinchot here, uh, making a show off the scene for two years or so.
Um, wondering if anyone can leave the number of DEFCON on CBS here.
Be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Yo, this is Grinchot here, back on the scene after two years.
From the 353, looking for a few old friends.
Shamrock, if you're still out there.
Uh, I'm also looking for, uh, info about the DEFCON voice bridge.
It's still up.
Likes and other number.
Appreciate it so much to post on this.
Thanks, man.
Hi, there's meetings at, um, Greengate Mall in Greensburg, Pennsylvania.
They're by the, um, pay phones.
Um, I'm not sure of the zip code in Greensburg, though.
Thanks.
Two comments.
Hey, Emanuel, when are you going to get any new information about the United Hope for the year 2000 here?
H2K.
Secondly, if anybody knows any cheap hotels around the area for H2K, let me know.

Hey, this is Carl Pence.
Uh, I know you guys are encouraging people to comment on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act,
and I have some software, uh, along those lines.

All one word.
That's meme.com slash soft slash trojan cow.
Thank you.
Bye.
All right.
This is Mike from the U.K.
Um, does anyone know if there's going to be any mad blue box lectures at Beyond Hope?
Because, uh, I'd be most interested in attending one particular on verification trunks,
because, uh, the subject I'm pretty much interested in,
and I'm not quite prepared to travel.
If anyone knows of anyone else from the U.K. that's going over besides the Dark Side crew,
um, drop us a bell on the redirect, or the QX.
No, I've got a voicemail system up somewhere in the U.S.,
but I can't remember the number right now, so I'll drop a line on it later on when I find the number.
It's Tuesday the 22nd of February right now, so, uh,
if anyone has time, get back to me.
And I can look at my number, give me a call, and I'll get this message.
Hey, boys and girls, this is the Interceptor, coming to you from 4-2-3.
It's, uh, 24th in the morning time,
and I've just wasted an hour and a half of my life going through this dribble.
There was a couple of things, but most of it is totally dumb questions.
That and, uh, unlegible gibberish.
If somebody's, like, recorded.
Please speak up.
We cannot hear you.
If you've got a whisper, let's tell Mommy and Daddy to leave, and then call.
Uh, a couple of things.
Somebody was looking for credit card numbers.
Yeah, right.
Sure, we're all going to post credit card numbers with names and everything right here.
That's a federal offense, buddy.
But for, uh, educational purposes, go dumpster diving.
Find your little trip center.
Do them all.
Go behind.
Uh, Hallmark stores, uh, your little video rental places.
Mom and pop operations.
They throw away all kinds of stuff.
They don't keep anything.
You'll find pretty much lots of interesting things in the dumpster.
You'll find one that's not next to the grocery store,
so you don't keep covering rotten milk and cottage cheese.
Uh, the calling cards.
Everybody's messing around with calling cards.
Somebody was saying something about a, uh, modem tone on one of them.
That's like hitting a bunch of nines.
Had a friend that was selling cards here a while back,
and, uh, he could call in and check his account balance.
And I'm thinking it's the same deal as the, uh, co-cot.
Calling, like, calling in on a co-cot
and checking the, uh, information for the pay phone.
But I wouldn't swear to that.
It's just an idea I've got.
Somebody keeps telling me something about that.
A prepaid calling card number that I've been playing around with.
1-888-317-9865.
11-digit code.
Three digits, three digits, five digits.
Along with that one is a voice mail box you can have with it.
1-888-876-0388.
The voice mail box numbers, go with that number, are seven digits long.
A lot of the ones I was playing with started with 200.
So you might want to start with that.
On that, there's a place you can set up, uh, pager notifications.
And actually get, like, an out-off.
Another hint, you can plan around with calling card numbers.
Uh, bounce around for the last four digits.
A couple digits up, a couple digits down.
Most of the time they'll buy a whole block of numbers, uh, for the, uh, for the cards.
And you can find some interesting stuff on either side of the, uh, number that's printed on the card.
Also, what else was there?
Somebody's asking about special phone features.
Oh, the phone company.
Most of the time they're more than willing to help you.
Or the next time you see a, uh, lineman working on a box, stop and ask me.
Those guys just love to talk about the work.
Uh, what else was there?
Somebody looking for, uh, a place to, uh, space box.
One of the best places are, like, little office complex.
Because, uh, you just open the box up and by the afternoon at 5 o'clock,
every phone line is clear until Monday morning.
Just don't leave your laptop hooked up and forget about it.
It's at 9 o'clock on Monday.
All kinds of hell breaks, please.
Try to go check it out.
Oh, what else was there?
Somebody's talking about the, uh, DEFCON voice grid.
Somebody folks remember way back.
435-855-3326.
DEFCON, I think that's right.
I got that down correctly.
Uh, somebody that's not getting credit cards on the web.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Well, I'm talking about getting...
This is Interceptor in 423 Continuance.
Ah.
Somebody was asking about teleconferencing.
And then he was asking about voice grid.
You want to know about teleconference or voice grid information?
Clarify that.
Also, somebody was, uh, asking something about some underground tunnels.
Drugs are bad.
Don't, don't do drugs.
My answer to that one.
So, what else was there?
Finding out to ramble on.
Oh.
Does a, uh, somebody was asking about a book.
About phreaking and hacking.
Somebody said there was one at Barnes & Noble.
Do not understand the, uh, information you gave.
If you can repeat that.
You're going to be interested.
But the best way to learn phreaking is, uh, have an idea or a goal.
Something you want to achieve.
And then go out.
Find yourself your favorite pay phone.
And do what you can.
Make it happen.
To reach your goal.
That's the best way to learn about phreaking.
Is just do it.
You've got to have an idea of what you want to do.
So you can get there.
Somebody was looking for intelligent people.
Hello.
You find them?
Let me know.
Yeah, what was it, uh, still more credit card questions.
Uh, somebody was using a, uh, computer voice.
Didn't understand it.
Had no idea.
Yeah, I'm right.
I'm sure you're, like, wanted by the FBI in the Secret Service.
And you can't use your own voice.
You know, you're probably calling from your home phone.
Like, you're, like, totally secret.
Well, somebody was asking about the beige box stuff in Philly.
The, uh, big double door deal.
Go to a, uh, construction site where they're putting in a bunch of new homes.
And if there's, like, a few homes already in, you know, like, such that there's going to be several, several homes.
So I'll have one of those boxes close by for it.
And a lot of times, somebody really pays much attention to it.
And some of the ones I found, you know, for cases, aren't locked yet.
So there's really not so many things in it.
Except for them.
A couple of connections for some of the houses.
But if it's locked, that's a standing lock off in a little town.
The construction site, and hardly anybody pays any attention to it.
Not to mention, the phone guy won't be back for a while until the next house is built.
Nobody's going to know it.
So they have to come back out and look at somebody else's service.
Oh, what was it?
Yeah, I guess that's it.
This is the Interceptor in, uh, 423.
If you don't have anything else to do it.
But, uh, you can hear some of the old voices on here.
I don't hear the shuttle class.
I don't know any.
Everybody.
This is the Interceptor.
Speak it.
Yeah, uh, I need the number for, uh, Descon.
There's a new number.
It's, uh, I got the old one.
It was a couple of days ago.
And it's the Van Puggy line.
I don't know what happened.
There's a new number.
Uh, it's, uh, posted up.
Yes, this is Black Rain.
And I'd like to know, is there a website that I can go to and get on where I can find people's, um, info on them and stuff?
Is there a website where you can go and erase credit overnight and give yourself 100% a credit, wipe out criminal records and stuff?
If it is, let me know.
If you're a true hacker to the game, you know how to do this.
But if not, you just want to be a hacker.
Okay.
I've got something for you.
Name is the Ultimate Net Ninja.
Let me tell you one thing.
If you need any help with any sort of thing, hacking, phreaking, wears, anything, give me a call.

Hey, dude, what's up?
This is AcidTrip.
I have a small problem.
I need a credit card verification number with merchant ID.
If at all possible, send it to APB91781 at yahoo.com or AcidTripAPB at yahoo.com.
Repeat, AcidTripAPB at yahoo.com.
Send me, just phreaking try and do something for me, all right?
I'll do something nice for you, too.
But, I mean, just give me a credit card verification number and a merchant ID number so I can do my work, all right?
Hey, gang, this is Lo-Fi in 902.
First of all, I want to give shout out to Interceptor.
Thanks for that big, long post you put up there.
It's great stuff, and I hope lots more people do stuff like that.
Anyway, it's not the point of the post.
What I'm trying to get at is those telephones that give direct lines to the taxi stand.
You must know what I'm talking about.
You just lift up the receiver, and the dude at the taxi stand goes,
Hey, hello, blah, blah, blah, and I don't know how it works where you live,
but where I live, when I don't say anything, the taxi operator will hang up the phone.
When he hangs up the phone, I get a dial tone, and a dial tone means access.
Hooray, hooray.
Try it where you live.
It might work.
Someone out there in telephone land knows of a good scanner for the Macintosh.
Please post it up.
The scanners I have are kind of crappy,
and Mac is the only computer I have with a modem that does stuff.
So please post up the name and, if you could, the location on the net
or where I could download a scanner for the Macintosh.
Thanks.
Break out the tape recorders.

Hi, yes.
I'm just calling to tell you that Jack Valenti will be the commencement speaker this year at the University of Oklahoma.
And I'm going to give you the telephone number and fax numbers of the student newspaper.
I thought you guys might like to fax them or e-mail them some information about Jack Oldboy
and see if we can make his welcome here at OU a little bit more troublesome.
Anyway, the OU paper is called the Daily Oklahoman.
Their phone, their voice line is area code 405-325-2521.
Their e-mail is news at daily.ou.ed.
Their fax number is area code 405-321-1259.
Their e-mail address is 160 Copeland Hall, 860 Van Fleet, V-L-E-E-T Oval, Norman, Oklahoma, 73019.
I hope you guys can send some information to the OU paper and stir up some trouble, okay?
Bye, guys.
This is a technologist.
I have a warning for anybody who's using prepaid AT&T calling cards.
If you're using star 67, thinking that your privacy is being protected, it isn't.
The calling number is displayed on the receiving party's caller ID.
You can verify this by going to the special services and hearing your caller ID info
on the 2600 voicemail system.
So I'm just telling you, it's there.
Your phone number will be passed on to the calling party if you're using prepaid calling cards from AT&T,
regardless of whether or not you're using star 67.
Just want to let you guys know, and this also includes other prepaid companies that are using AT&T services,
so be careful out there.
Make sure your privacy is being protected.
Yo, this is the technologist.
I have a privacy alert for anyone who's using AT&T prepaid calling cards,
and if you're concerned about whether your telephone number is delivered to the calling party,
well, as of just recently, I discovered that when you use star 67 to call the AT&T prepaid calling card number,
and then you enter your calling card and dial out, well, guess what?
The number you're calling is being passed on to the called party.
You can verify this by going to the special phone services menu on the main menu
and listening to your caller ID info.
It will reveal your telephone number.
That means that whoever you call with a prepaid calling card from AT&T will get your number,
regardless of whether or not you're using star 67.
So be careful when you're calling people with these things.
Just thought I'd spread the word to everybody.
So if you're using one of these, you might want to call through the operator first,
if you can do that in your area.
Later.
I like to put Clamato in my beer sometimes.
It tastes pretty damn good.
Yeah, I just read Mafia Ball Reel or Creation of the Media on 2600 to a link through ZDTV.com.
Whoever did this, they need to get a raise.
Probably the most entertaining thing I've read on the web in a very long time,
and I just want to let you know.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks.
Yeah, this is a technologist.
A while back, a long while back, I asked if anybody had a DATU.
Nobody ever gave me one, and I'm asking again,
if anybody has a DATU for the 305 area code,
that's a special number that you can test other people's phone lines with
and sometimes even interrupt their phone lines.
If you have a DATU for the 305 area code,
please email me at technologist at hotmail.com.
That's T-E-C-K-N-O-W-L-E-G-I-S-T at hotmail.com.
I had to spell it weird because if you start any name with T-E-C-H,
it won't allow you to create the account.
So just email me if you want to trade or if you know about DATU or other special testing numbers in the 305 area codes,
and that would help me tremendously.
I'll also share the results of anything I happen to get from other people.
So email me if you've got anything, and later.
Yes, my name is Eddie Lobos, a student at Tacoma Education Center in Washington, D.C.,
and I'm doing a report on computers.
That's for everything based on computers, even computer hacking,
and I was wondering if you know any sites that could show me, like, hardware that hackers use,
if they use any software, the best sites that are out in any hacking areas or, like, people or clans or groups
or whatever in Washington, D.C., Maryland, or Virginia.
I really appreciate it.
You can get me at my email address at F-A-T-D-A-D-K-G-P at hotmail.com.
Thank you.
This is a technologist again.
It doesn't seem to be too many people calling here.
I don't want to look like I'm always asking for things, so I actually want to give out something,
even though this goes against my better judgment.
But here is something I found while I was scanning in 305.
It's a PBX-type thingy, but I don't know exactly what it is because it doesn't act like a PBX.
It gives you a dial tone, but as soon as you press a digit, you hear it rings,
and then it either hangs up or connects you to a computer depending on what button you push.
And what's interesting is if you push 9, you get a beep, but if you push 9 again, you get another beep.
If you push 0 or something, you can push the 0 key about 6 times before it rings.
If you push anything else, it rings after you push one button.
So I don't know how this thing works.
I've tried everything, and I either get a carrier or nothing, and just ring and hang up type of thing.
So it might be a call director system of some kind or one of those boxes that answers the phone,
and you push a button and connect to either your fax or whatever.
But there's a computer that answers, and all you get is garbage after you connect.
So maybe somebody knows what it is or can figure it out.
Anyway, the number is 305-252-9637.
And if anybody knows how this thing works or can figure it out, please shed some light on it.
And thanks.
Later.
This is a technologist.
I have another question unrelated to the last message I just posted.
I just thought of something.
I'd like to know if there's a way to change the six-digit security code on the Motorola M70 cell phone,
I mean the M70A cell phone, which is almost like the M70, I think.
I can't find it in the manual or anything, and the reason I want to change it is because it defaults to six zeros.
And with that code, you can change or view the lock code.
And there's nothing in the manual that tells you how to change it.
Could anybody tell me how to change the six-digit security code on the Motorola M70A cell phone?
Not the lock code, but the security code that lets you go into the security options menu.
That's why I want to know if anybody knows that.
Thanks.
Hi there.
My name is Joshua Allen, and I'm calling about the story that I just saw on News.com
regarding the Federal Probation Department threatening to send Mnick back to jail
if he continues to speak in public about his experiences.
And I think it's just a serious violation of the justice system to be attempting to use probation as a punitive device.
And I have written to my senators, but I was hoping to alert you guys to this as well.
Just check out News.com, and it should be right there on the front page.
You know, if you could put something up so that people know about this and can contact their senators,
or if you know who has oversight over this so-called Federal Probation Department.
I can't find their government office or anything like that.
But, you know, whatever would be the best way for people to participate in voicing their disagreement
with the government attempting to use probation as a punitive device would be a great service.
Thank you.
All right, I just finished reading the latest issue in the letter section.
You said you got about 100 letters about the date being incorrect on the last issue for the year 2000.
I honestly thought you guys did that on purpose.
I thought it was to be humorous.
Not one letter in here mentioned that anyone thought you might have done it on purpose.
I really thought you did that on purpose just to be funny.
And I thought it was pretty cool.
And it looks like you actually made a mistake.
Unreal, huh?
Oh, well.
Thanks.
S-A-6-1-2.
I've been looking for a program called Phone Sweep, similar to Tone Loke.
I'd like to know if anybody has it or tried it.
I'm just curious as to how it operates, actually how well it works.
If you have this or can get a hold of it, get a copy of it, whatever, leave a message on here,
and I will definitely get back to you.
S-A here, 6-1-2.
I'm looking for a program, Phone Sweep, runs on Windows, a few other platforms.
It's similar to Tone Loke.
I'd like to get a hold of the program.
If you have it, have access to it, or have used it, leave me a message on here.
I check in weekly.
I'd like to get a hold of the program, so let me know.
We can trade whatever.
Thanks.
Hi, this is Louis Bonelia from Bronx, New York.
I would like to have a meeting in the Bronx or somewhere in Manhattan that's closer to me
because I do not happen to have a car.
Thank you.
Well, hello.
Just want to end up saying that I really support you in this lawsuit,
and I'm going to end up shipping some money to that, you know, electronic foundation on this
because that thing with that DVD and stuff, this is poor.
And so I'm going to write you a little bit of an article, too, something for a letter, rather.
But I want to let you know that I purchased a couple things from your outfit.
And, hell, I'm 50, but this is getting crazy.
So hang in there, and you've got a lot of support out here.
You take care, Pard, and I'll see you later.
Bye-bye.
Yeah, hi.
I'm calling about your spring issue of 2600.
Looking at page 7, you've got a rather ominous photograph with MPPA emblazoned on the back
of what looks like stormtroopers to me.
The photo looks a little doctored to me, and, you know, you really need to address the authenticity of that
and give a little more background on that because that's, you know, if it's authentic, you know,
that needs to be known.
I mean, that's bullshit for them to have that kind of militia force or what have you.
And the thing that bothers me is the guy in the front doesn't have any lettering on the back of his back at all.
And, you know, so if you could address that in your next issue, the authenticity, the source,
something of that nature, it would have a high impact.
Thank you.
Hey, what's up?
Johnny Hacker here.
I'm out here looking for Technogod.
If anybody knows him or can possibly give him my number or, you know, if he comes out here at all,
just give me a ring with his new docs, preferably a voicemail.
Just go ahead and call me.
My voicemail is 1-888-362-4563.
And my PIN number is 4225-3742.
All right, thanks.
Hey, this is Cypete.
I was known as cypete at freaker.net.
Web address 954-2600.cjb.net.
This is concerning the meeting that I, I guess you could say administer.
It's at the Broward Mall, which is in Plantation in South Florida.
And, uh, well, I've already had two meetings, and we've had over ten people in the second meeting.
Man, the wind seems to be spreading slowly but surely.
And I was wondering if you could post that in the magazine or on the webpage.
Okay, thanks.
Bye.
It did not fair.
I didn't do anything wrong.
All I did was put a TV thing on the thing, and they told the Atlanta they suck, and everyone else, Verizon sucks, and 2600 sucks.
And my life shows things, too, but that's beside the point.
But I just want to tell all you hackers out there I can't hack myself out of a paper bag.
But, into is another story, because I don't know how to do that, because I need scissors, and I don't have those.
My mommy does not give me the allowance to buy them.
It did not fair.
Hello?
I just wanted to leave a message.
My baloney had a first name, it's O-S-T-A-R.
My baloney had a second name, M-A-Y-E-R.
And I like to sing this all the time, but if Emanuel doesn't stop whining, I'm going to kick his ass.
Just remember, deep words, once I said, Emanuel, you are going to have your way into a paper bag.
How's that?
Hello?
Thank you.
Yeah, I'm leaving this message on a moderated board, you know, and I just want to say too many of you people out here call for nothing but nonsense, nothing but nonsense.
You leave noises in the messages, you know, you play noises with your mouth or whatever else.
You play recordings.
I don't know, you just talk about personal bullshit.
We don't want to hear that nonsense out here.
Most of you are nothing, you know.
You're not even hackers or phreakers or anything like that, you know.
I mean, there are a few out here that know how to hack or pheak, and these are the serious people, you know.
We don't want to hear this nonsense out here.
We've got hundreds of messages out here of bullshit, you know, nothing but recordings that people play and also noises that you make and personal nonsense, you know.
We don't want to hear that.
Come on, you know, we've got to clean up the messages and even the people out here for that matter.
So, and also you have to speak up loud and clear in the messages that you're leaving because you can hardly be heard, you know, hardly at all.
So, you have to speak up, you know, and cut out the nonsense.
Just leave the nonsense behind, all right?
Yeah, I'm looking to start meetings in Wausau, Wisconsin.
I don't know what you guys need to start that, but I don't know.
It's for God.
That's all.
Hey, interesting stuff over here in California.
I don't know, but I guess local telco is no longer able to provide a ring back for whatever reason.
I don't know.
I could have sworn I just called them and got one about a month ago.
Anyways, LA scene is good.
Kevin is out.
He's been really active on amateur radio, notorious amateur radio repeater, which he was on for many years, actually,
before the whole, you know, thing happened.
And, uh, anyways, keep up the good work.
Okay.
Okay, SA612, looking for a program, a phone sweep.
I don't know if anybody's got a copy or can get a copy.
Drop me a note on here, and we can hook up later.
Sorry, let's meet him on the gas.
Yo, yo, yo, this is Cable Spice coming at you live from the CO with the 411 on Bell Atlantic's DAT-2 unit.
Simply dial the 1-800 number.
It asks you for the area code and the NNX.
Then there's a tone.
You simply type in the password, 1-1-1-1.
How stupid can they be, people?
The tone continues.
Type in the full 7-digit number.
It'll babble at you for a little while.
Then it'll give you the options.
2, audio monitor of the line.
It's all garbled, but at least you can tell if anyone's online or not.
30, 33, you get a short to ground on the tip and ring.
37, you get ring ground.
38, tip ground.
44, you get a high-level tone.
47, high-level tone on just the ring.
48, high-level tone on just the tip.
5, you get a low-level tone.
6, you get an open on the line.
7, you get a short on the line.
If you want these things to keep going after you hang up the phone, press star, and then the number of minutes you want it to go.
Want a new line?
Press the pound key.
Oh, and by the way, that number is 1-800-477-7909.
It should work on any Bell Atlantic system.
Hey, Pete, this is Scarface.
S.A., you wanted to know about anyone who had phone suite.
You could contact me at cga.thepentagon.com.
I believe this is the version from Sandstorm that you're referring to.
If it is, contact me.
You can easily obtain your own copy also, and I'll give you information on that.
I'm looking for cyanide, cyanide, looking to get in contact with you.
Just take the above email address and contact me before H2K.
Try to contact me so we can get together for that piece.
Okay, this is Cable Spice.
A bit of an addendum.
That tattoo number works in Manhattan only.
Repeat, Manhattan only.
Thank you.
Interesting stuff going on with the FBI carnivore system, that's for sure.
Hey, man, the BBS is effed up.
The voice BBS, man.
I don't know what's wrong with it, but it just disconnects me or something like that.
Maybe some certain individuals, you know, didn't feel it was in people's best interest to be able to access it.
Anyways, hope to hear it back up.
Yo, yo, yo.
This is Cable Spice live from the CO again.
A little bit of clarification.
That tattoo number I just gave, message 299, that works in Manhattan.
Manhattan only.
Stay tuned for further details on numbers for other bureaus.
It's amazing that people are still posting four-year-old numbers on this line.
I can see why no one really calls it.
So much for the future.
Hey, Manuel, it's Hexis or the Hexis or whatever.
Okay, I tried contacting meetings at 2600.com to get us listed on the meetings website.
You know, it's a list that has the links to the website.
And for some reason, I didn't get a response.
Actually, I did.
I just got a response with guidelines.
But I'm not sure what that was supposed to mean.
So, okay, just catch me on IRC sometime or email me or something because no one is telling me anything.
Okay, it's for the Houston 26th Etc.
It's Houston26etc.net.
We're using CJB because we don't actually know where exactly we're going to keep hosting it permanently
because if we can't host it permanently at IURN, we'll just transfer it to another site.
You know how that goes.
Oh, well.
Later.
Fuck with these numbers.
7-7-3-2-4-7-5-9-2-4
And 5-1-6-9-3-1-0-5-6-4
Fuck with both of those numbers.
Uh, hey, uh, I'm calling from Illinois because it's 7.30 a.m. and I've got nothing to do.
I'm bored out of my mind, all right?
But, uh, the site's down, or at least it's down for me here in 847.
I don't know what's the deal with that.
I'm just trying to make conversation with the voicemail system.
God, I'm pathetic.
Uh, right on, guys.
Good job and all.
Fuck the MPAA.
Later.
Hi, um, I'm actually having a problem with getting your website, and I can get everything else on the planet except you and sites like h2k.net.
I'm just kind of wondering if you guys are having this problem, and if this is some sort of, like, organized denial of service.
Um, I'm going to send an email to emmanuel at, uh, 2600.com and see if I can get a reply back.
Cool, man.
Enjoy.
Bye-bye.
Hi, hi.
This is Adrick from the Albuquerque 2600 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Um, calling prior to the meeting, actually.
Uh, it's still several hours away, and I'm sure your time stamp will get that.
Um, I emailed meetings at 2600.com, either yesterday or the day before, again, I remember which, with a suggestion.
Um, we determined at the last meeting, after we had tried to call several other meetings, and one meeting actually managed to get through to us after trying to call several other meetings, that the listing in the back is woefully out of date, painfully out of date, amazingly out of date.
It's useless, practically.
And so, uh, my suggestion and my recommendation is next issue, and on the website, uh, post out that, uh, the whole list is going to be scrubbed and started anew.
Uh, people that are holding meetings can then recheck their payphone numbers, their cell phone numbers, their wireless access numbers, whatever they happen to have at the meetings, and, uh, get back to rolling.
Uh, just so you know, our meetings are generally attended by anywhere from 8 to 28 people.
Uh, I think our record is 32.
Um, it's, uh, we've been, uh, we've been pretty long-term supporters.
This is our third year, um, and, uh, we're a darn inclusive group compared to some of the ones we've gone to.
New York, uh, Oakland, uh, Tucson, Phoenix, uh, you name it.
We've sent delegates out there and, uh, and seen that some of the meetings are amazingly segregated.
Well, we have knowledge.
We're going to keep it away from you.
That's just bullshit.
And, uh, people who are ignorant and, and are afraid of, of losing their little bit of control on a tiny bit of scripted information.
But, other than that, it's nothing more.
So, um, you know, uh, give us a ring.
Uh, our Albuquerque 2600 voicemail box is 1-877-577-8788.
Uh, I believe that's correct.
Uh, if not, uh, you can email ABQ2600 at UReach.com.
That is U as in the baby sheep.
Thank you.
Hi, um, I was wondering if anyone has a, um, uh, any goods, um, a system called Intellidesk.
It's a, like a paging system.
Um, it was made, I think, in 95, um, by a company in New Hampshire.
Um, and, um, let's see, uh, if you want to leave a message for me, if, if you have some info, um, I'm, uh, 9133 pound on the, um, uh, 2600, uh, like, voicemail system.
Um, okay, thanks.
Bye-bye.
I just want to say you guys are doing a fantastic job.
I'd like to get the lady who does your, uh, the opening, you know, the dial tone fading away, and it says, thank you for calling 2600.
I'd like to get that on my answering machine.
That'd be kind of cool.
Hi, guys.
I'm calling concerning your defense in this, uh, ongoing controversy.
I don't know if you are still, uh, still in the process or not.
And I would have just picked it up on, uh, some board somewhere.
Anyway, back in the, uh, back probably in the, uh, 80s or early, or mid-70s, there was a company called On TV in Los Angeles that had a, uh, scrambling system that was cracked.
It was basically, you know, somebody put a diode on a chip or something and figured it out.
Uh, the upshot was that the judge ruled that they had protected millions of dollars in assets with a 50-cent lock.
That is my recollection of what happened.
It sounds like the music industry has done something similar with CSS.
It appears they've done essentially that.
And, uh, they've got a 40-bit encryption scheme and a fairly hard-to-change, uh, hard-to-change key system.
So, that being the case, I thought it would be worth your looking up that case.
It probably was a Ninth Circuit case, my guess, but, uh, hard to tell.
And, uh, that's about it.
Um, and I will just, uh, my name, I will leave you a handle since that's the best way to do it, which is N56.
Bye.
I have a suggestion for you on your litigation with the MPAA.
That coding, that coding scheme is not coding.
It's not crypto.
I'm a crypto professional.
Uh, it's simply compression and, uh, error correction coding.
What they have is a zone.
There are eight zones in the world.
Zone zero covers the entire world.
If your zone on the DVD does not match that in the player, the player locks up.
This is not a copy protection routine.
What it is, is breaking up the, breaking up the world into, uh, different zones where each zone is controlled by a different entity.
Deposit five cents for the next two minutes, or your call will be terminated.
The whole thing is that the, uh, it's more like a monopoly, or better still, a cartel,
where each, uh, member of the cartel has a, uh, zone where they have exclusive rights to.
And the zone codes keep them from selling to other zones.
You might try this, uh, on your lawyers and see, uh, just how well it flies in court.
Good luck.
Uh, by the way, uh, I have a handle that I picked up in the Army called Dr. Diabolic.
Uh, that's because I used to teach military subjects, including some very nasty stuff.
I wish you luck on your case.
Good day.
Yeah, um, right there, I'm 516-473-2626, but it ain't working, um, guys keep up the good work,
and, um, glad Kevin is out.
Thanks.
Emmanuel and the rest of the 2600 crew, my name is Zach, I'm just a kid from Podunk, Illinois,
I'm 20 years old, studying networking, and I want to say, you might have lost the first
round, but good luck, guys, keep it going.
If somebody doesn't fight stuff like this, just ridiculous decisions made by uninformed
people, man, we're screwed.
Good luck to you guys, and I'll help out any way I can.
This is Professor Diabolic, and I'm going to continue to use that handle whenever I call
you.
If you don't believe your phones aren't being monitored, you should take a look at Newsday
back in 85.
They had a small thorough article where the FBI opened a monitoring office at the Melville
Interchange to monitor, uh, all telephone calls for security violations.
They didn't need a court order for this, because it was not going to be used for any kind of
prosecution.
They were simply looking for security violations amongst defense contractors.
Uh, to my knowledge, that office is still there, still up and running.
However, you'd never hear about it since that, uh, 85 article.
Well, I'm sorry that you lost your court case.
I believe that you should have fought it on grounds that, for one thing, it was not a, uh,
uh, crypto...
Excuse me.
...or rather, it was a crypto...
...and not a, yeah, first amendment, uh, problem that they were facing.
The whole thing with the DC, uh, the CSS, uh, by the MPAA, is that it's a zoning condition, uh,
where they're establishing sales zones, and people are forced to, uh, purchase within those zones.
Uh, this year is against, uh, many, uh, trade agreements worldwide, and it's, uh, against a lot of
these trade agreements, uh, international laws, and you probably should, uh, countersue the
people, uh, the MPAA in particular, uh, that, uh, they're violating these international
agreements and laws against free trade.
If they want crypto, uh, what would have, would be a proper way to do the crypto, would
be to encrypt it so that each, uh, sale has its own key.
Now, you cannot simply have, uh, provide a key to each individual sale, because all the
pirates would do is just copy the key as well.
So, that means each individual have, would have to have a private key, their own personal
key, and then they would go down, purchase, uh, a, uh, copy of the video, and it would be
encrypted in their personal key.
The thing here is, now, who provides these personal keys?
And these personal keys, uh, since they would, uh, be for, uh, uh, for that individual for
all, uh, uh, of his purchases, uh, suppose I now, no longer want this video, and I decide
to sell it.
I can't, because it's in my own key.
I can't even leave it to my, uh, family after I die, because it's in my key, and they do not
have that key, that's my key, and it perishes with me.
So, you can see, uh, this here starts establishing, uh, uh, rights as to what is, what is perishes.
So, uh, there's a lot, uh, that's going on, on this.
Excuse me, please deposit five pence for the next two minutes, or your call will determine.
Another, uh, thing on this, uh, that I've, uh, come up with is, uh, it's not, uh, a, uh,
anti-copyright.
It is an anti-play.
There is no encryption other than, uh, data compression and error correction coding.
None of this is classified.
It's all open to the public.
Uh, I've worked with, uh, crypto in the past.
Not military, so I'm free to talk about it.
But the, uh, crypto that I have worked with is such that, uh, it went well beyond.
Hey, Manny, this is Lisa.
Um, I sent a piece of candy to you through the mail.
Um, I had sent some to Kevin before, and he liked it, so I thought you might want to try some.
Um, um, the white stuff on it is sugar.
It, it should be there Saturday, I guess.
Okay, bye.
Yeah, I was just wondering why I keep getting cut off in the BBS.
It says, please stand by for, or a hacker will says you're gonna hear hello, and it clicks off.
I don't know what's going on.
Oh.
I don't know if you can do anything about it.
I'll just say edit it out.
You know, this is a technologist.
How would you like to make two hours of free phone calls each and every month?
Two hours of free, unlimited long-distance each and every month, with nothing to buy and nothing to pay for.
Yes, it's true, and I can tell you, all you have to do is email me at technologist at hotmail.com.
That's T-E-C-K-N-O-W-L-E-T-I-S-T, technologist at hotmail.com, and I'll send you a hyperlink so you can get your free long-distance.
There's nothing illegal about this, and it really works, and you don't need a credit card or anything like that.
It's totally free. Check it out.
Send me an email to find out more.
Yeah, what's up? This is Black Repo.
Yeah, I want to know, is there another hacker line number that you can call to get information?
If it is, post it up, because there's too much ignorance on this line here.
You know, it should be all about finding out information.
What's up, Manuel? This is Nigel from California. I'm an avid reader of 2600, and I own a small company called BioSoft.
We've taken the liberty of registering a few names against the Warner Brothers and sending them a notification email.
Lawsuit?
I'm an avid reader of 2600, whatever, 2600 hacked quarterly, whatever. As I was, you know, reading whatever, that people need to get a life. I don't mean to just take anything out, but the Secret Service, the Federal Government, top of your hands, and y'all can't do anything. Just go in an orderly fashion and do what you want.
What you have to do to do to do to do to do to do to live.
I don't mean to just take anything out, but the Secret Service, the Federal Government, top of your hands, and y'all can't do anything. Just go in an orderly fashion and do what you have to do to do to live.
instead of do so-called gods and just define a nation and the process of original war. In addition, I appreciate your work, your articles, your magazine.
and it's a very good work of art, but there are some things I need to stop at this point. For example, for the DVDs, I'm going to take a look at the top of your hands and the top of your hands and y'all can't do anything.
Just go in an orderly fashion and do what you have to do to consume these literacy instead of do so-called gods and just define a nation and process of original war.
In addition, I appreciate your work, your articles, your magazine, and it's a very good work of art, but there are some things I need to stop at this point.
For example, for the DVD or whatever, unless, as long as you are not doing anything, it is too small, but then go ahead and do it.
Thank you for your cooperation, thank you for the ears that are words for what I'm talking about.
Hey guys, it's 2600. This is C4 from South Florida calling to say good job on the new magazine. I picked it up at the local Barnes & Noble, and I appreciate it. So, good job. Have a good one.
Yes, I was calling. I actually saw, in your reader dropping, I read something about, I think, Verizon suing you guys for the website Verizon Really Sucks.
You may want to check, there's a website called Bally, I think it's Bally Sucks, B-A-L-L-Y-S-U-C-K-S.com.
They were sued by Bally's Gym for mainly just giving their opinion and criticizing their services.
And the court in that case actually held that it was okay and allowed the site to stay.
So, I'm not sure if they tried to pursue it on trademark issues, but you may want to actually contact those guys just to find out. Thanks.
I don't know if you saw The Simpsons this evening, but it was all about area code splits. It's really hilarious. If you didn't see it, you should try to get a tape.
Hey guys, I think there's something messed up with the VBBS. If you could check it out, we would be happy. That or I'm doing something wrong. I'll call back in a while. Okay, bye.
Thanks for using TELL ME. For your free two minute call, dial 1-800-555-TELL for restaurants...
Hello. What's up? What's the deal with the voice bulletin board system? Seems to be whacked out. Peace.
