The Two Holes -------------- Ok let's start this file out the right way. There are two different holes. No, not like that you perv. Man Holes. No not like that either! What two holes are we talking about here? Good question, thanks for asking. Sewer Man Holes and Bell Telefone Man Holes. The Telefone Co. runs its telefone wires through an underground system. Access to these systems can be granted via man holes. In some area these are hard to find. The best way to distinguish them from Sewage System Man Holes is that they usually say BELL TELEFONE in nice big letters for all the blind phreaks to see(just kidding). This guide will teach you how to get into these fone line systems, and what to do once you're in. Bring along your kit --------------------- I'm assuming if your interested in this file that you are considering actually pursuing to go into one of these systems. So here is a list of items you should bring along with you in a backpack of some sort. On with the show... The List: * A Crow Bar: This is the most effective tool to open these man holes * A Friend: Sometimes help is needed to open these things (you don't have to put him/her in your backpack, btw) * A quick getaway: A bike or a skateboard, something like that * Strippers: For entertainment. No. Incase you want to beige box or anything like that off of the wires in the system. * Clippers: Hate your fone company? *snip snip* hehehe... * Flashlight: It's usually dark down there * Screw Driver and Hex Wrench: Explained later * Boots: Sometimes there's a layer of water on the floor * Something to cover your eyes/mouth/nose: It's dusty down there. * Paper/Pencil: You might need to write something down * A Test Fone: Hooking into fone lines Let's get going ---------------- Ok after you crammed all of that shit into your backpack, your ready to start looking for the perfect man hole. Usually they can be found near Bell Telefone buildings(suprise, suprise!). If they are indeed near an area where people will be, the best time to start your little sneaky operation would be at night. I don't know but I'm pretty sure that going into Bell Telefone man holes violates some idiotic law. Ok, so you've got your man hole, and you've got your time. Now you're ready to go. You're at your choosen man hole. Get out your crow bar and your the super-duper-stealthy-phreak look on your face. You might need your friend's help. Slide the crowbar under the lid of the man hole and pry it open slowly. By the time you feel comfortable with it, slide it off to the side. Turn on your flashlight and look down into the hole. Is there a ladder? If there isn't, bad luck Charley, you either need rope or a different man hole. If there is, then good for you. Let's assume there is. I won't describe how to go down the ladder, I'm sure you can do that. Ok, you're in the man hole. You've got your boots and protective wear on. Take a look around with your flashlight. You will notice pipes on the side of the wall containing hundreds of wires. These are all fone lines. Feels good doesn't it? Stop a second. Access to these fones lines is right under your nose. Damn this is good. Ok, now quit creaming your pants over the site and let's get to work... Phreakin' Around ----------------- Get out your screw drive and Hex wrench. There should be cylinder-looking objects ever couple feet. These are the access to the wires. Depends, but you will either need your screw driver or hex wrench to take these off. Now once you have it off, look at all the wires. w00ha wee!! I'll leave it to you to figure out what to do now. Oh yeah, it's good to have an ANI incase you want to do something nasty. Have fun. -Ripsaw
