How to make
Napalm
by the Jolly Roger
Pour some gas
into an old bowl, or some kind of container.
Get some
styrofoam and put it in the gas, until the gas won't eat anymore. You
should have a sticky syrup.
Put it on the
end of something (don't touch it!!). The unused stuff lasts a long time!

How to make a fertilizer
bomb
by The Jolly Roger
Ingredients:
Newspaper
Fertilizer (the
chemical kind, GREEN THUMB or ORCHO)
Cotton
Diesel fuel
Make a pouch
out of the newspaper and put some fertilizer in it. Then put cotton
on top. Soak the cotton with fuel. Then light and run like you have
never ran before! This blows up 500 square feet so don't do it in an alley!!
23.
Tennis Ball
Bombs
by The Jolly Roger
Ingredients:
Strike anywhere matches
A tennis ball
A nice sharp knife
Duct tape
Break a ton of
matchheads off. Then cut a SMALL hole in the tennis ball. Stuff all
of the matchheads into the ball, until you can't fit any more in.
Then tape over it with duct tape. Make sure it is real nice and
tight! Then, when you see a geek walking down the street, give it a
good throw. He will have a blast!!

Diskette
Bombs
by The Jolly Roger
You need:
A disk
Scissors
White or blue
kitchen matches (they MUST be these colors!)
Clear nail polish
1.Carefully
open up the diskette (3«" disks are best for this!)
2.Remove the
cotton covering from the inside.
3.Scrape a lot
of match powder into a bowl (use a wooden scraper, metal might spark
the matchpowder!)
4.After you
have a lot, spread it evenly on the disk.
5.Using the
nail polish, spread it over the match mixture
6.Let it dry
7.Carefully put
the diskette back together and use the nail polish to seal it shut on
the inside (where it came apart).
When that disk
is in a drive, the drive head attempts to read the disk, which causes
a small fire (ENOUGH HEAT TO MELT THE DISK DRIVE AND FUCK THE HEAD
UP!!). Let the fuckhead try and fix THAT!!!

Unlisted Phone
Numbers
by The Jolly Roger
There are a
couple of different ways of doing this. Let's see if this one will
help: Every city has one or more offices dedicated to assigning
numbers to the telephone wire pairs. These offices are called DPAC
offices and are available to service reps who are installing or
repairing phones. To get the DPAC number, a service rep would call
the customer service number for billing information in the town that
the number is located in that he is trying to get the unlisted number
of. (Got that?) The conversation would go something like this:
"Hi, Amarillo, this is Joe from Anytown business office, I need
the DPAC number for the south side of town." This info is
usually passed out with no problems, so... if the first person you
call doesn't have it, try another. REMEMBER, no one has ANY IDEA who
the hell you are when you are talking on the phone, so you can be
anyone you damn well please! When you call the DPAC number, just tell
them that you need a listing for either the address that you have, or
the name. DPAC DOES NOT SHOW WHETHER THE NUMBER IS LISTED OR
UNLISTED!! Also, if you're going to make a habit of chasing numbers
down, you might want to check into getting a criss-cross directory,
which lists phone numbers by their addresses. It costs a couple
hundred bucks, but it is well worth it if you have to chase more than
one or two numbers down!
26. Fuses
by The Jolly Roger
You would be
surprised how many files are out there that use what falls under the
category of a "fuse." They assume that you just have a few
lying around, or know where to get them. Well, in some parts of the
country, fuses are extremely hard to come by... so this file tells
you how to make your own. Both fuses presented here are fairly simple
to make, and are fairly reliable.
SLOW BURNING
FUSE - 2 inches per minute
Materials needed:
Cotton string
or 3 shoelaces
Potassium
Nitrate or Potassium Chlorate
Granulated sugar
Procedure:
1.Wash the
cotton string or shoelaces in HOT soapy water, then rinse with fresh water
2.Mix the
following together in a glass bowl:
1 part
potassium nitrate or potassium chlorate
1 part
granulated sugar
2 parts hot water
3.Soak strings
or shoelaces in this solution
4.Twist/braid 3
strands together and allow them to dry
5.Check the
burn rate to see how long it actually takes!!
FAST BURNING
FUSE - 40 inches per minute
Materials needed:
Soft cotton string
Fine black
powder (empty a few shotgun shells!)
Shallow dish or pan
Procedure:
1.Moisten
powder to form a paste.
2.Twist/braid 3
strands of cotton together.
3.Rub paste
into string and allow to dry.
4.Check the
burn rate!!!

How to make Potassium
Nitrate
by The Jolly Roger
Potassium
Nitrate is an ingredient in making fuses, among other things. Here is
how you make it:
Materials needed:
3« gallons
of nitrate bearing earth or other material
« cup of
wood ashes
Bucket or other
similar container about 4-5 gallons in volume
2 pieces of
finely woven cloth, each a bit bigger than the bottom of the bucket
Shallow dish or
pan at least as large in diameter as the bucket
Shallow, heat
resistant container
2 gallons of water
Something to
punch holes in the bottom of the bucket
1 gallon of any
type of alcohol
A heat source
Paper & tape
Procedure:
1.Punch holes
on the inside bottom of the bucket, so that the metal is
"puckered" outward from the bottom.
2.Spread cloth
over the holes from the bottom.
3.Place wood
ashes on the cloth. Spread it out so that it covers the entire cloth
and has about the same thickness.
4.Place 2nd
cloth on top of the wood ashes.
5.Place the
dirt or other material in the bucket.
6.Place the
bucket over the shallow container. NOTE: It may need support on the
bottom so that the holes on the bottom are not blocked.
7.Boil water
and pour it over the earth very slowly. Do NOT pour it all at once,
as this will clog the filter on the bottom.
8.Allow water
to run through holes into the shallow dish on the bottom.
9.Be sure that
the water goes through ALL of the earth!
10.Allow water
in dish to cool for an hour or so.
11.Carefully
drain the liquid in the dish away, and discard the sludge in the bottom.
12.Boil this
liquid over a fire for at least two hours. Small grains of salt will
form - scoop these out with the paper as they form.
13.When the
liquid has boiled down to « its original volume let it sit.
14.After «
hour, add equal volume of the alcohol; when this mixture is poured
through paper, small white crystals appear. This is the potassium nitrate.
Purification:
1.Redissolve
crystals in small amount of boiling water.
2.Remove any
crystals that appear.
3.Pour through
improvised filter then heat concentrated solution to dryness.
4.Spread out
crystals and allow to dry.

Exploding
Lightbulbs
by The Jolly Roger
Materials needed:
Lightbulb (100w)
Socket (duh...)
¬ cup soap chips
Blackpowder!
(open some shotgun shells!)
¬ cup
kerosene or gasoline
Adhesive tape
Lighter or
small blowtorch
Glue
Procedure for a
simple exploding lightbulb:
1.Drill a small
hole in the top of the bulb near the threads!
2.Carefully
pour the blackpowder into the hole. Use enough so that it touches the filament!
3.Insert into
socket as normal (make sure the light is off or else YOU will be the victim!!)
4.Get the hell out!!
Procedure for a
Napalm Bulb:
1.Heat
kerosene/gasoline in a double boiler.
2.Melt soap
chips, stirring slowly.
3.Put somewhere
and allow to cool.
4.Heat the
threads of the bulb VERY carefully to melt the glue. Remove threads,
slowly drawing out the filament. Do NOT break the cheap electrical
igniters and/or the filament or this won't work!!
5.Pour the
liquid into the bulb, and slowly lower the filament back down into
the bulb. Make sure the filament is dipped into the fluid.
6.Re-glue the
threads back on. Insert it into a socket frequently used by the
victim and get the hell out!!
When the victim
flips the switch, he will be in for a BIG surprise!

Under water
igniters
by The Jolly Roger
Materials needed:
Pack of 10
silicon diodes. (Available at Radio Shack. You will know you got the
right ones if they are very, very small glass objects!)
Pack of matches
1 candle
Procedure:
1.Light the
candle and allow a pool of molten wax to form in the top.
2.Take a single
match and hold the glass part of a single diode against the head.
Bend the diode pins around the matchhead so that one wraps in an
upward direction and then sticks out to the side. Do the same with
the other wire, but in a downward direction. The diodes should now be
hugging the matchhead, but its wires MUST NOT TOUCH EACH OTHER!
3.Dip the
matchhead in wax to give it a water-proof coat. These work underwater
4.Repeat to
make as many as you want.
How to use them:
When these
little dudes are hooked across a 6v battery, the diode reaches what
is called breakdown voltage. When most electrical components reach
this voltage, they usually produce great amounts of heat and light,
while quickly melting into a little blob. This heat is enough to
ignite a matchhead. These are recommended for use underwater, where
most other igniters refuse to work.

Home-brew blast
cannon
by The Jolly Roger
Materials needed:
1 plastic drain
pipe, 3 feet long, at least 3 « inches in diameter.
1 smaller
plastic pipe, about 6 inches long, 2 inches in diameter.
1 large
lighter, with fluid refills (this gobbles it up!)
1 pipe cap to
fit the large pipe, 1 pipe cap to fit the small pipe.
5 feet of bellwire.
1 SPST rocker switch.
16v polaroid
pot-a-pulse battery.
15v relay (get
this at Radio Shack).
Electrical Tape.
One free afternoon.
Procedure:
Cut the bell
wire into three equal pieces, and strip the ends.
Cut a hole in
the side of the large pipe, the same diameter as the small pipe.
Thread the hole and one end of the small pipe. They should screw
together easily.
Take a piece of
scrap metal, and bend it into an "L" shape, then attach it
to the level on the lighter:
/------------------------gas
switch is here
V
/------
!lighter!!<---metal
lever!!
Now, every time
you pull the 'trigger' gas should flow freely from the lighter. You
may need to enlarge the 'gas port' on your lighter, if you wish to be
able to fire more rapidly.
Connect two
wires to the two posts on the switch.
Cut two holes
in the side of the smaller tube, one for the switch on the bottom,
and one for the metal piece on the top. Then, mount the switch in the
bottom, running the wires up and out of the top.
Mount the
lighter/trigger in the top. Now the switch should rock easily, and
the trigger should cause the lighter to pour out gas. Re-screw the
smaller tube into the larger one, hold down the trigger a bit, let it
go, and throw a match in there. If all goes well, you should hear a
nice big 'THUD!'
Get a hold of
the relay, and take off the top.
1---------------
v/
2--------------/<--the
center object is the metal finger inside the relay

cc-------------/
oo----------------4
ii
ll----------------5
Connect (1) to
one of the wires coming from the switch. Connect (2) to (4), and
connect (5) to one side of the battery. Connect the remaining wire
from the switch to the other side of the battery. Now you should be
able to get the relay to make a little 'buzzing' sound when you flip
the switch and you should see some tiny little sparks.
Now, carefully
mount the relay on the inside of the large pipe, towards the back.
Screw on the smaller pipe, tape the battery to the side of the cannon
barrel (yes, but looks aren't everything!)
You should now
be able to let a little gas into the barrel and set it off by
flipping the switch.
Put the cap on
the back end of the large pipe VERY SECURELY. You are now ready for
the first trial-run!
To Test:
Put something
very, very large into the barrel, just so that it fits 'just right'.
Now, find a strong guy (the recoil will probably knock you on your
ass if you aren't careful!). Put on a shoulderpad, earmuffs, and
possibly some other protective clothing (trust the Jolly Roger! You
are going to need it!). Hold the
trigger down
for 30 seconds, hold on tight, and hit the switch. With luck and the
proper adjustments, you should be able to put a frozen orange through
¬ or plywood at 25 feet.

Phone
Taps
by The Jolly Roger
Here is some
info on phone taps. In this file is a schematic for a simple wiretap
& instructions for hooking up a small tape recorder control relay
to the phone line.
First, I will
discuss taps a little. There are many different types of taps. There
are transmitters, wired taps, and induction taps to name a few. Wired
and wireless transmitters must be physically connected to the line
before they will do any good. Once a wireless tap is connected to the
line, it can transmit all conversations over a limited reception
range. The phones in the house can even be modifies to pick up
conversations in the room and transmit them too! These taps are
usually powered off of the phone line, but can have an external power
source. You can get more information on these taps by getting an
issue of Popular Communications and reading through the ads. Wired
taps, on the other hand, need no power source, but a wire must be run
from the line to the listener or to a transmitter. There are obvious
advantages of wireless taps over wired ones. There is one type of
wireless tap that looks like a normal telephone mike. All you have to
do is replace the original mike with this and it will transmit all
conversations! There is also an exotic type of wired tap known as the
'Infinity Transmitter' or 'Harmonica Bug'. In order to hook one of
these, it must be installed inside the phone. When someone calls the
tapped phone & *before* it rings and blows a whistle over the
line, the transmitter picks up the phone via a relay. The mike on the
phone is activated so that the caller can hear all of the
conversations in the room. There is a sweep tone test at 415/BUG-1111
which can be used to detect one of these taps. If one of these is on
your line & the test # sends the correct tone, you will hear a
click. Induction taps have one big advantage over taps that must be
physically wired to the phone. They do not have to be touching the
phone in order to pick up the conversation. They work on the same
principle as the little suction-cup tape recorder mikes that you can
get at Radio Shack. Induction mikes can be hooked up to a transmitter
or be wired.
Here is an
example of industrial espionage using the phone:
A salesman
walks into an office & makes a phone call. He fakes the
conversation, but when he hangs up he slips some foam rubber cubes
into the cradle. The called party can still hear all conversations in
the room. When someone picks up the phone, the cubes fall away unnoticed.
A tap can also
be used on a phone to overhear what your modem is doing when you are war-dialing,
hacking, or just plain calling a bbs.
Here is the schematic:
-------)!----)!(------------->
)!(
Cap
^ )!(
)!(
)!(
)!(
^^^^^---)!(------------->
^ 100K
!
! <Input
The 100K pot is
used for volume. It should be on its highest (least resistance)
setting if you hook a speaker across the output. but it should be set
on its highest resistance for a tape recorder or amplifier. You may
find it necessary to add another 10 - 40K. The capacitor should be
around .47 MFD. It's only purpose is to prevent the relay in the
phone from tripping & thinking that you have the phone off of the
hook. the audio output transformer is available at Radio Shack. (part
# 273-138E for input). The red & the white wires go to the output
device. You may want to experiment with the transformer for the best
output. Hooking up a tape recorder relay is easy. Just hook one of
the phone wires (usually red) to the end of one of the relay &
the other end just loop around. This bypasses it. It should look like this:
------^^^^^^^^^------------
---------
RELAY^^
(part #275-004
from Radio Shack works fine)
If you think
that you line is tapped, the first thing to do is to physically
inspect the line yourself ESPECIALLY the phones. You can get mike
replacements with bug detectors built in. However, I would not trust
them too much. It is too easy to get a wrong reading.

How to make a
landmine
by The Jolly Roger
First, you need
to get a push-button switch. Take the wires of it and connect one to
a nine volt battery connector and the other to a solar igniter (used
for launching model rockets). A very thin piece of stereo wire will
usually do the trick if you are desperate, but I recommend the
igniter. Connect the other wire of the nine-volt battery to one end
of the switch. Connect a wire from the switch to the other lead on
the solar igniter.

explosive
Now connect the
explosive (pipe bomb, m-80, COý bomb, etc.) to the igniter by
attaching the fuse to the igniter (seal it with scotch tape). Now dig
a hole; not too deep but enough to cover all of the materials. Think
about what direction your enemy will be coming from and plant the
switch, but leave the button visible (not TOO visible!). Plant the
explosive about 3-5 feet away from the switch because there will be a
delay in the explosion that depends on how short your wick is, and,
if a homemade wick is being used, its burning speed. But if you get
it right... and your enemy is close enough......... BBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!

A different kind of Molitov
Cocktail
by The Jolly Roger
Here is how you
do it:
1.Get a coke
bottle & fill it with gasoline about half full.
2.Cram a piece
of cloth into the neck of it nice and tight.
3.Get a
chlorine tablet and stuff it in there. You are going to have to force
it because the tablets are bigger than the opening of the bottle.
4.Now find a
suitable victim and wing it in their direction. When it hits the
pavement or any surface hard enough to break it, and the chlorine and
gasoline mix..... BOOM!!!!!!

Phone Systems
Tutorial
by The Jolly Roger
To start off,
we will discuss the dialing procedures for domestic as well as
international dialing. We will also take a look at the telephone
numbering plan.
North American
Numbering Plan
In North
America, the telephone numbering plan is as follows:
3 digit
Numbering Plan Area (NPA) code , i.e., area code
7 digit
telephone number consisting of a 3 digit Central Office (CO) code
plus a 4 digit station number
These 10 digits
are called the network address or destination code. It is in the
format of:
Area Code Telephone #
--------- -----------
N*X
NXX-XXXX
Where: N = a
digit from 2 to 9
* = the digit 0 or 1
X = a digit from 0 to 9
Area Codes
Check your
telephone book or the separate listing of area codes found on many
bbs's. Here are the special area codes (SAC's):
510 - TWX (USA)
610 - TWX (Canada)
700 - New Service
710 - TWX (USA)
800 - WATS
810 - TWX (USA)
900 - DIAL-IT Services
910 - TWX (USA)
The other area
codes never cross state lines, therefore each state must have at
least one exclusive NPA code. When a community is split by a state
line, the CO numbers are often interchangeable (i.e., you can dial
the same number from two different area codes).
TWX (Telex II)
consists of 5 teletype-writer area codes. They are owned by Western
Union. These SAC's may only be reached via other TWX machines. These
run at 110 baud (last I checked! They are most likely faster now!).
Besides the TWX numbers, these machines are routed to normal
telephone numbers. TWX machines always respond with an answerback.
For example, WU's FYI TWX # is (910) 279-5956. The answerback for
this service is "WU FYI MAWA".
If you don't
want to but a TWX machine, you can still send TWX messages using
Easylink [800/325-4112]. However you are gonna have to hack your way
onto this one!
700:
700 is
currently used by AT&T as a call forwarding service. It is
targeted towards salesmen on the run. To understand how this works,
I'll explain it with an example. Let's say Joe Q. Salespig works for
AT&T security and he is on the run chasing a phreak around the
country who royally screwed up an important COSMOS system. Let's say
that Joe's 700 # is (700) 382-5968. Every time Joe goes to a new
hotel (or most likely SLEAZY MOTEL), he dials a special 700 #, enters
a code, and the number where he is staying. Now, if his boss received
some important info, all he would do is dial (700) 382-5968 and it
would ring wherever Joe last programmed it to. Neat, huh?
800:
This SAC is one
of my favorites since it allows for toll free calls. INWARD WATS
(INWATS), or Inward Wide Area Telecommunications Service is the 800
numbers that we are all familiar with. 800 numbers are set up in
service areas or bands. There are 6 of these. Band 6 is the largest
and you can call a band 6 # from anywhere in the US except the state
where the call is terminated (that is why most companies have one 800
number for the country and then another one for their state.) Band 5
includes the 48 contiguous states. All the way down to band 1 which
includes only the states contiguous to that one. Therefore, less
people can reach a band 1 INWATS number than a band 6 number.
Intrastate
INWATS #'s (i.e., you can call it from only 1 state) always have a 2
as the last digit in the exchange (i.e., 800-NX2-XXXX). The NXX on
800 numbers represent the area where the business is located. For
example, a number beginning with 800-431 would terminate at a NY CO.
800 numbers
always end up in a hunt series in a CO. This means that it tries the
first number allocated to the company for their 800 lines; if this is
busy, it will try the next number, etc. You must have a minimum of 2
lines for each 800 number. For example, Travelnet uses a hunt series.
If you dial (800) 521-8400, it will first try the number associated
with 8400; if it is busy it will go to the next available port, etc.
INWATS customers are billed by the number of hours of calls made to
their number.
OUTWATS
(OUTWARD WATS): OUTWATS are for making outgoing calls only. Large
companies use OUTWATS since they receive bulk-rate discounts. Since
OUTWATS numbers cannot have incoming calls, they are in the format of:
(800) *XXX-XXXX
Where * is the
digit 0 or 1 (or it may even be designated by a letter) which cannot
be dialed unless you box the call. The *XX identifies the type of
service and the areas that the company can call.
Remember:
INWATS +
OUTWATS = WATS EXTENDER
900:
This DIAL-IT
SAC is a nationwide dial-it service. It is use for taking television
polls and other stuff. The first minute currently costs an outrageous
50-85 cents and each additional minute costs 35-85 cents. He'll take
in a lot of revenue this way!
Dial (900)
555-1212 to find out what is currently on this service.
CO CODES
These identify
the switching office where the call is to be routed. The following CO
codes are reserved nationwide:
555 - directory assistance
844 - time. These are now in!
936 - weather the 976 exchange
950 - future services
958 - plant test
959 - plant test
970 - plant test (temporary)
976 - DIAL-IT services
Also, the 3
digit ANI & ringback #'s are regarded as plant test and are thus
reserved. These numbers vary from area to area.
You cannot dial
a 0 or 1 as the first digit of the exchange code (unless using a blue
box!). This is due to the fact that these exchanges (000-199)
contains all sorts of interesting shit such as conference #'s,
operators, test #'s, etc.
950:
Here are the
services that are currently used by the 950 exchange:
1000 - SPC
1022 - MCI Execunet
1033 - US Telephone
1044 - Allnet
1066 - Lexitel
1088 - SBS Skyline
These SCC's
(Specialized Common Carriers) are free from fortress phones! Also,
the 950 exchange will probably be phased out with the introduction of
Equal Access.
Plant Tests:
These include
ANI, Ringback, and other various tests.
976:
Dial 976-1000
to see what is currently on the service. Also, many bbs's have
listings of these numbers.
N11 codes:
----------
Bell is trying
to phase out some of these, but they still exist in most areas.
011 -
international dialing prefix
211 -
coin refund operator
411 -
directory assistance
611 -
repair service
811 -
business office
911 - EMERGENCY
International Dialing
With
International Dialing, the world has been divided into 9 numbering
zones. To make an international call, you must first dial:
International Prefix + Country code + National number.
In North
America, the international dialing prefix is 011 for
station-to-station calls. If you can dial International numbers
directly in your area then you have International Direct Distance
Dialing (IDDD).
The country
code, which varies from 1 to 3 digits, always has the world numbering
zone as the first digit. For example, the country code for the United
Kingdom is 44, thus it is in world numbering zone 4. Some boards may
contain a complete listing of other country codes, but here I give
you a few:
1
- North America (US, Canada, etc.)

If you call
from an area other than North America, the format is generally the
same. For example, let's say that you wanted to call the White House
from Switzerland to tell the president that his numbered bank account
is overdrawn (it happens, you know!). First you would dial 00 (the
SWISS international dialing prefix), then 1 (the US country code),
followed by 202-456-1414 (the
national number
for the White House. Just ask for Georgy and give him the bad news!)
Also, country
code 87 is reserved for Maritime mobile service, i.e., calling ships:
871 - Marisat (Atlantic)
871 - Marisat (Pacific)
872 - Marisat (Indian)
International Switching:
------------------------
In North
America there are currently 7 no. 4 ESS's that perform the duty of
ISC (Inter-nation Switching Centers). All international calls dialed
from numbering zone 1 will be routed through one of these
"gateway cities". They are:
182 -
White Plains, NY
183 -
New York, NY
184 -
Pittsburgh, PA
185 -
Orlando, Fl
186 -
Oakland, CA
187 -
Denver, CO
188 -
New York, NY
The 18X series
are operator routing codes for overseas access (to be further
discussed with blue boxes). All international calls use a signaling
service called CCITT. It is an international standard for signaling.
OK.. there you
go for now! If you want to read more about this, read part two which
is the next file #36 in the Jolly Roger's cookbook!

Part II will
deal with the various types of operators, office hierarchy, &
switching equipment.
Operators
There are many
types of operators in the network and the more common ones will be discussed.
TSPS Operator:
The TSPS
[(Traffic Service Position System) as opposed to This Shitty Phone
Service] Operator is probably the bitch (or bastard, for the female
liberationists out there) that most of us are used to having to deal
with. Here are his/her responsibilities:
1.Obtaining
billing information for calling card or third number calls
2.Identifying
called customer on person-to-person calls.
3.Obtaining
acceptance of charges on collect calls.
4.Identifying
calling numbers. This only happens when the calling number is not
automatically recorded by CAMA(Centralized Automatic Message
Accounting) & forwarded from the local office. This could be
caused by equipment failures (ANIF- Automatic Number Identification
Failure) or if the office is not equipped for CAMA (ONI- Operator
Number Identification).
I once had an
equipment failure happen to me & the TSPS operator came on and
said, "What number are you calling FROM?" Out of curiosity,
I gave her the number to my CO, she thanked me & then I was
connected to a conversation that appeared to be between a frame man
& his wife. Then it started ringing the party I wanted to
originally call & everyone phreaked out (excuse the pun). I
immediately dropped this dual line conference!
