MESSAGE #66: HERE IT IS... (SPACEBAR QUITS MESSAGE) MSG LEFT BY: ALUMINUM GERBIL DATE POSTED: WELL, WHAT YE OLDE FUCK. HERE ARE TH E SCHEMATICS. I DON'T THINK YOU CAN GET BUSTED JUST FOR KNOWING HOW TO MAKE COMPARATERS, SO I WILL JUST SAY NOT TO USE THEM ON ANYBODY ELSE'S PHONE. I F YOU DO, I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT GOES DOWN. I REALLY DON'T CARE BU T THAT'S HOW IT GOES... NEXT MESSAGE... (1-70, LAST=66, QUIT=Q) READ MSG.# MESSAGE #67: SCHEMATICS... (SPACEBAR QUITS MESSAGE) MSG LEFT BY: ALUMINUM GERBIL DATE POSTED: OK... NOW THAT THINGS ARE COOL, I WIL L GIVE YOU THE SCHEMATICS... BUT FIRST... AS EVERYONE KNOWS, TEXT -SCHEMATICS SUCK SHIT. THAT BEITH WHY I HAVE DEEMED IT NECESSARY FOR SOMEONE TO CREATE A STANDARD ELECTRONIC CHARACTER SET. MAYBE I'LL WORK ON IT B UT IF SOMEONE COMES UP WITH ONE, ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY CHARACER SET! MY IDEAS FOR ITS CONSTRUCTION ARE LIKE HAVING STANDARD CHARACERS REPRESENT ELECTRONIC SYMBOLS LIKE THIS... 'Q' = LEFT SIDE OF HORIZONTAL RESISTOR 'E' = RIGHT SIDE OF HORIZONTAL RESISTOR 'R' = HORIZONTILE CONNECTION 'T' = VERTICLE CONNECTION 'Y' = HORIZONTAL CAPACITOR, NO N-POLARIZED ETC, ETC, ETC... ANYWAY, TIS BUT A THOUGHT. IT COULD BE DONE USING HRCG WITH DOS TOOLKIT AS EVERYBODY HAS THAT, OR WHATEVER, BUT TH E THING IS TO KEEP IT STANDARD FOR EVERYBODY! IF THIS CATCHES ON, MAYBE P EOPLE WILL PASS ESS DIGITAL DESIGN SPECS OVER THE MODULATOR... SO, HERE BIETH THE CIRCUIT... AS SOM EONE ONCE SAID, "FORMATTED FOR 80 COLUMNS...

(SPACEBAR QUITS MESSAGE) MSG LEFT BY: ALUMINUM GERBIL DATE POSTED: YEAH, SO THE ABOVE BULLETIN WAS THE S CHEMATIC. NOW FOR AN EXPLANATION. AS THE THEORY OF THIS THING WAS MENTIONED IN A PREVIOUS BULLETIN, I WON'T CONCERN MYSELF WITH THAT. FIRST A PART S LIST... RESISTORS... 47K OHM, 10K OHM, 1K OHM. POTENTIOMETERS... 50K OHM TRIM POT CAPACITORS... 0.1 UF SEMICONDUCTORS... PNP - 2N3906 TRANSIS TOR, NPN - 2N3904 TRANSISTOR, 1N4005 DIODE. BATTERY... ONE 6 VOLT OR FOUR 1 .5 VOLT, A SWITCH WOULD BE NICE... RELAY... I'M USING A LITTLE B LUE 4.5 VOLT (I THINK) RELAY WITH DOUBLE POLE, DOUBLE THROW CONTACTS. IT'S IN A DIP ARRANGEMENT AND I CA N'T REMEMBER THE RADIO SHACK NUMBER... MISC... VARIOUS SIZES OF JAC KS FOR INTERFACING THE TAPE RECORDER, BATTERY, TELEPHONE L INE, ETC. I BUILT THIS THING FOUR TIMES ON A BR EAD BOARD AND TWICE ON A PC BOARD BEFORE I GOT IT TO WORK TO MY SATISFACT ION. I SUGGEST YOU BUILD IT ** BE ON A BREAD BOARD. LAST MINUTE CHANGES ALWAYS KILL ME... WELL, ASSEMBLE THE PARTS AS SHOWN IN THE SCHEMATIC BULLETIN. A WORD ABOUT THE CRYPTIC CODES... --\(-- IS A POLARIZED CAPAC ITOR WITH THE NEGATIVE END POINTING RIGHT... -->\-- IS THE DIODE WITH TH E CATHODE POINTING RIGHT... \B IS A TRANSISTOR WHIC H IS SPECIFIED EITHER PNP OR NPN. -+- ON NPN, THE ARROW ON THE EMITOR POINTS OUT. ON PNP C/ \E IT POINTS IN. THE L EADS ARE DESIGNATED, 'B' FOR BASE, 'E' FOR EMITOR AND ' C' FOR COLLECTOR 2N3904 AND 2N3906'S ARE EASY TO COME BY. RADIO SHACK SELLS BOXES OF 15 FOR UNDER 5 BUCKS. THEY'RE FUN TO PLAY WIT H AS THEY ARE GOOD GENERAL PURPOSE TRANSISTORS. I CAN'T GUARANTEE GOOD RES ULTS IF YOU USE OTHER TRANSISTORS, BUT IT WOULD PROBABLY WORK. 1N4005 IS THE DIODE AND CAN BE CHANGE D FOR ANY DIODE THAT HAS APPROXIMATELY THE SAME RATINGS, 100 PRV MINIMUM, 1 AM P, ETC... I RECOMMENT DURACEL BATTERYS FOR THE SOLE REASON THAT THEY LAST LONGER THAN REGULAR CARBON BATTERYS (UP TO 35% LONG ER!) BUT IF YOU HAVE A 115 AC OUTLET NEARBY (YOU PROBABLY WON'T FIND ONE IN A PEDISTAL) YOU COULD USE A 6 VOLT POWER PACK. STAY TUNED FOR HOW TO USE IT... [ T HE ALUMINUM GERBIL ] (SORRY ABOUT SOME FUCKED UP TEXT, BUT I T SEEMS TO BE PRETY OBVIOUS... (1-70, LAST=68, QUIT=Q) READ MSG.# MESSAGE #69: ANDSOONANDSOFORTH... (SPACEBAR QUITS MESSAGE) MSG LEFT BY: ALUMINUM GERBIL DATE POSTED: HOW TO USE A (COLOR$) BOX... AS UNSTUPIFYI NGLY ITERATED BY: THE [6 04] GERBIL (SO TO SPEAK...) OK. NOW THAT YOU'VE MADE THE (COLOR$ ) BOX AS MENTIONED ABOVE, YOU MAY WANT TO KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT. MANY GOOD PHREAKS MAY NOT WANT TO BOTHER READING THIS MESSAGE, AS THE USES ARE QUITE OBV IOUS. BUT THIS IS WHAT I THINK IT COULD BE USED FOR... WELL, SAY YOU SUSPECT YOUR GIRLFRIEND OF CHEATING ON YOU... HMMM, THAT ACTUALLY IS QUITE A FRIVILOUS USE, BUT IT IS A POSSIBILITY... OK. THE SCENARIO IS AS THUS: YOU'VE BEEN DIALING NUMBERS IN YOUR LOCAL EXCHANGE AND YOU'VE FOUND A COUPLE COMP UTERS BUT YOU DON'T KNOW ANY PASS- WORDS... WHAT YOU'D DO IS CALL UP CN/A AND GET THE LOCATION OF THE NUMBER YOU WANT TO CHECK OUT. THEN, YOU'D GO TO WHEREVER THE PLACE IS AND CHECK OUT WHERE THE SERVICE ENTERS THE BUILDI NG. NOW HERE IS WHERE THE SHEEP GET SEPARATED FROM THE GOATS OR THE PIRATES FROM THE PHREAKS, OR WHATEVER... WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IS SOMEHOW GET AT T HE TWO WIRES MAKING UP THE LINE. YOU COULD BREAK IN, OR YOU COULD STRIP THE WIRES ON THE POLE, OR IF THERE IS A PPIT THERE. ANYWAY, YOU GET SOME BARE WIRE AND ATTACH THE BOX ACROSS THESE WI RES. THEN, YOU PUT YOUR TAPE IN AND PRESS PLAY & RECORD, TURN YOUR BOX ON A ND FORGET ABOUT FOR A COUPLE DAYS. NOW, SEVERAL THINGS MIGHT HAPPEN IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. ONE - SOMEONE MIGHT FIND THE BOX AND CALL THE PHONE COPS. TWO - THE DUDE MIGHT CALL OUT ON THE LINE IN WHICH CASE, THE NUMBERS WILL BE RECORDED ON THE TAPE. THREE - THE GUY MIGHT GET INCOMMING CALLS WHICH WIL L BE RECORDED. FOUR - THE BATTERYS MIGHT WEAR OUT. FIVE - THE WORLD MIGHT BLOW UP... SO, YOU GET YOUR BOX BACK AND YOU SEE WHAT'S ON THE TAPE. IF IT'S A COMPUTER, THEN YOU PLAY THE TONES BACK INTO YOUR DEMODULATOR AND SEE WHAT IS GOING ON. YOU WILL GET ALL THE PASS WORDS, ACCESS PARAMETERS AND EVERYTHING THAT WENT ON THE LINE. SOUN D INTERRESTING? BUT YES, IT IS! HMMM, DID I REMEMBER TO SAY WHAT THE FOUR PAIRS OF WIRES COMING OUT OF MY BOX ARE? ANYWAY, ONE IS THE BATTERY, O NE IS FOR THE LINE, WHICH YOU ARE TAPING INTO, ONE GOES TO THE MICROPHONE OF THE TAPE RECORDER AND THE LAST PAIR GOES TO THE TAPE RECORDER'S REMOTE JACK. WELL, THAT BEITH ABOUT ALL FOR YOUR L ESSON ON HOW TO (COLOR$) BOX YOUR WAY INTO PASSWORDS AND SUCH... IF YOU' VE GOT QUESTIONS, JUST POST THEM AND THE WORST THAT COULD HAPPEN IS THAT I W ON'T BOTHER ANSWERING THEM AND YOU'LL LOOK STUPID, BUT THAT WOULDN'T BE NICE. FEAR NOT, I SHALL NOT FORSAKE THEE!
