Anyone here old enough to remember Cap'n Crunch?🤔🧐
There was a seminal article in one of the big glossy mags in late 60's / early 70's about DTMF hacking the phone system. I made myself a 2600 Hz whistle, experimented with using it to trigger disconnects. I used to dumpster dive at the local telco for hacker parts.🫂😆💜☎️
Good times!🔥🚀😁
I found a copy of the original article; will have to re-read it for nostalgia sake:
At the time, I didn't have the tech bones to actually build a Blue Box, so I hacked some whistles to the appropriate frequencies in order to fiddle around. Never did succeed at placing an international phone call, but I had a lot of fun and learned a lot about the global phone system.🤔🧐😜😆
