Eavesdropping
To be most effective, first attach the Beige Box then your phone. This eliminates the
static caused by connecting the box, therefore reducing the potential suspicion of your
victim. When eavesdropping, it is always best to be neither seen nor heard. If you hear
someone dialing out, do not panic; but rather hang up, wait, and pick up the receiver again.
The person will either have hung up or tried to complete their call again. If the latter is
true, then listen in, and perhaps you will find information worthy of blackmail! If you would
like to know who you are listening to, after dialing ANI, pull a CN/A on the number.
Dialing Long Distance
This section is self explanatory, but don't forget to dial a "1" before the NPA.
Dialing Direct to Al iance Teleconferencing
Simply dial 0-700-456-1000 and you will get instructions from there. I prefer this method
over PBX's, since PBX's often have poor reception and are more difficult to come by.
Phucking People Over
This is a very large topic of discussion. Just by using the other topics described, you can
create a large phone bill for the person (they will not have to pay for it, but it will be a big
hassle for them). In addition, since you are an extension of the person's line, you can leave
your phone off the hook, and they will not be able to make or receive calls. This can be
extremely nasty because no one would expect the cause of the problem.
Bothering the Operator
This is also self explanatory and can provide hours of entertainment. Simply ask her things
that are offensive or you would not like traced to your line. This also corresponds to the
previously described section, Phucking People Over. After all, guess who's line it gets
traced to?
Blue Boxing
See a file on Blue Boxing for more details. This is an especially nice feature if you live in an
ESS-equipped prefix, since the calls are, once again, not traced to your line...
IV. POTENTIAL RISKS OF BEIGE BOXING
Overuse of the Beige Box may cause suspicions within the Gestapo, and result in legal
problems. Therefor, I would recommend you:
Choose a secluded spot to do your Beige Boxing,
Use more than one output device
Keep a low profile (i.e., do not post under your real name on a public BBS concerning
your accomplishments)
In order to make sure the enemy has not been inside your output device, I recommend you
place a piece of transparent tape over the opening of your output device. Therefor, if it is
opened in your absence, the tape will be displaced and you will be aware of the fact that
someone has intruded on your territory.
Now, imagine the possibilities: a $2000 dollar phone bill for that special person, 976
numbers galore, even harassing the operator at no risk to you! Think of it as walking into
an enemies house, and using their phone to your heart's content.
9. How to make a COý bomb by the Jolly Roger
You will have to use up the cartridge first by either shooting it or whatever. With a nail,
force a hole bigger so as to allow the powder and wick to fit in easily. Fill the cartridge
with black powder and pack it in there real good by tapping the bottom of the cartridge on
a hard surface (I said TAP not SLAM!). Insert a fuse. I recommend a good water-proof
cannon fuse, or an m-80 type fuse,
but firecracker fuses work, if you can run like a black man runs from the cops after raping
a white girl.) Now, light it and run like hell! It does wonders for a row of mailboxes (like
the ones in apartment complexes), a car (place under the gas tank), a picture window (place
on window sill), a phone booth (place right under the phone), or any other devious place.
This thing throws shrapnel, and can make quit a mess!
10. Thermite II by Jolly Roger
Thermite is nasty shit. Here is a good and easy way to make it. The first step is to get
some iron-oxide (which is RUST!). Here is a good way to make large quantities in a short
time:
Get a DC converter like the one used on a train set. Cut the connector off, separate
the wires, and strip them both.
Now you need a jar of water with a tablespoon or so of sodium chloride (which is
SALT!) added to it. This makes the water conductive.
Now insert both wires into the mixture (I am assuming you plugged the converter in...)
and let them sit for five minutes. One of them will start bubbling more than the other.
This is the POSITIVE(+) wire. If you do not do this test right, the final product will be
the opposite (chemically) of rust, which is RUST ACID. You have no use for this here
(although it IS useful!).
Anyway, put the nail tied to the positive wire into the jar. Now put the negative wire in
the other end. Now let it sit overnight and in the morning scrape the rust off of the
nail & repeat until you got a bunch of rust on the bottom of the glass. Be generous with
your rust collection. If you are going through the trouble of making thermite, you
might as well make a lot, right?
Now remove the excess water and pour the crusty solution onto a cookie sheet. Dry it
in the sun for a few hours, or inside overnight. It should be an orange-brown color
(although I have seen it in many different colors! Sometimes the color gets fucked up,
what can I say... but it is still iron oxide!)
Crush the rust into a fine powder and heat it in a cast-iron pot until it is red. Now mix
the pure iron oxide with pure aluminum filings which can be bought or filed down by
hand from an aluminum tube or bar. The ratio or iron oxide to aluminum is 8 grams to 3
grams.
Congrats! You have just made THERMITE! Now, to light it...
Thermite requires a LOT of heat (more than a blow torch!) to ignite. However,
magnesium ribbon (which is sort of hard to find.. call around) will do the trick. It
takes the heat from the burning magnesium to light the thermite.
Now when you see your victim's car, pour a fifty-cent sized pile onto his hood, stick
the ribbon in it, and light the ribbon with the blow torch. Now chuckle as you watch it
burn through the hood, the block, the axle, and the pavement. BE CAREFUL! The ideal
mixtures can vaporize CARBON STEEL! Another idea is to use thermite to get into pay
phone cash boxes.
11. Touch Explosives by the Jolly Roger
This is sort of a mild explosive, but it can be quite dangerous in large quantities. To make
touch explosive (such as that found in a snap-n-pop, but more powerful), use this recipe:
Mix iodine crystals into ammonia until the iodine crystals will not dissolve into the
ammonia anymore. Pour off the excess ammonia and dry out the crystals on a baking
sheet the same way as you dried the thermite (in other words, just let it sit
overnight!).
Be careful now because these crystals are now your touch explosive. Carefully wrap a
bunch in paper (I mean carefully! Friction sets 'em off!) and throw them around..
pretty loud, huh? They are fun to put on someone's chair. Add a small fish sinker to
them and they can be thrown a long distance (good for crowds, football games,
concerts, etc.)
12. Letter Bombs by The Jolly Roger
You will first have to make a mild version of thermite. Use my recipe, but substitute
iron fillings for rust.
Mix the iron with aluminum fillings in a ratio of 75% aluminum to 25% iron. This
mixture will burn violently in a closed space (such as an envelope). This bring us to our
next ingredient...
Go to the post office and buy an insulated (padded) envelope. You know, the type that
is double layered. Separate the layers and place the mild thermite in the main section,
where the letter would go. Then place magnesium powder in the outer layer. There is
your bomb!
Now to light it... this is the tricky part and hard to explain. Just keep experimenting
until you get something that works. The fuse is just that touch explosive I have told
you about in another one of my anarchy files. You might want to wrap it like a long
cigarette and then place it at the top of the envelope in the outer layer (on top of the
powdered magnesium). When the touch explosive is torn or even squeezed hard it will
ignite the powdered magnesium (sort of a flash light) and then it will burn the mild
thermite. If the thermite didn't blow up, it would at least burn the fuck out of your
enemy (it does wonders on human flesh!).
13. Paint Bombs by The Jolly Roger
To make a pain bomb you simply need a metal pain can with a refastenable lid, a nice bright
color paint (green, pink, purple, or some gross color is perfect!), and a quantity of dry ice.
Place the paint in the can and then drop the dry ice in. Quickly place the top on and then
run like hell! With some testing you can time this to a science. It depends on the ratio of
dry ice to paint to the size of the can to how full it is. If you are really pissed off at
someone, you could place it on their doorstep, knock on the door, and then run! Paint will
fly all over the place!
14. Ways to send a car to Hell by The Jolly Roger
There are 1001 ways to destroy a car but I am going to cover only the ones that are the
most fun (for you), the most destructive (for them), and the hardest to trace (for the
cops).
Place thermite on the hood, light it, and watch it burn all the way through the
pavement!
Tape a COý bomb to the hood, axle, gas tank, wheel, muffler, etc.
Put a tampon, dirt, sugar (this one is good!), a ping pong ball, or just about anything
that will dissolve in the gas tank.
Put potatoes, rocks, bananas, or anything that will fit, into the tailpipe. Use a broom
handle to stuff 'em up into the tailpipe.
Put a long rag into the gas tank and light it...
Steal a key, copy it, replace it, and then steal the stereo.
Break into the car. Cut a thin metal ruler into a shape like this:
Slide it into the outside window and keep pulling it back up until you catch the lock cable
which should unlock the door. This device is also called a SLIM JIM. Now get the stereo,
equalizer, radar detector, etc. Now destroy the inside. (A sharp knife does wonders on the
seats!)
15. Do you hate school? by The Jolly Roger
One of my favorites for getting out of a class or two is to call in a bomb threat. Tell
'em that it is in a locker. Then they have to check them all, whilst you can slip away for
an hour or two. You can even place a fake bomb (in any locker but YOURS!). They might
cancel school for a week while they investigate (of course, you will probably have to
make it up in the summer).
Get some pure potassium or pure sodium, put it in a capsule, and flush it down the
toilet (smells awful! Stinks up the whole school!).
Use a smoke grenade in the hallway.
Steal the computer passwords & keys. Or steal the 80 column cards inside if they are
(gag) IBM.
Make friends with student assistants and have them change your grades when the
teachers hand in their bubble sheets for the report cards.
Spit your gum out on the carpet in the library or whatever and grind it into the carpet.
Watch the janitors cry!
Draw on lockers or spraypaint on the building that the principal is a fascist.
Stick a potato in the tailpipe of the principal's car.
USE YOUR IMAGINATION!
16. Phone related vandalism by the Jolly Roger
If you live where there are underground lines then you will be able to ruin someone's phone
life very easily. All you must do is go to their house and find the green junction box that
interfaces their line (and possibly some others in the neighborhood) with the major lines.
These can be found just about anywhere but they are usually underneath the nearest
phone pole. Take a socket wrench and loosen the nut on the right. Then just take clippers
or a sledge hammer or a bomb and destroy the insides and pull up their phone cable. Now
cut it into segments so it can't be fixed but must be replaced (There is a week's worth of
work for 'em! )
17. Highway radar jamming by The Jolly Roger
Most drivers wanting to make better time on the open road will invest in one of those
expensive radar detectors. However, this device will not work against a gun type radar unit
in which the radar signal is not present until the cop has your car in his sights and pulls the
trigger. Then it is TOO LATE for you to slow down. A better method is to continuously jam
