absolutely fascinating: watch workers physically cut massive telephone exchange cables to disconnect the telephone exchange from the old electromechanical switching service, to a new electronic switching service.

I’m currently holding a hard drive that has been powered on exactly 2600 times :) Coincidence? If you didn’t know, the number 2600 holds great significance in hacker culture. It refers to a 2600 Hz tone that was once used to control telephone networks #2600 #hacking #phreaking

I had someone ask for my OnlyH4x0rz account and I responded by giving him a link to my OnlyPhreaks.

@blog the #epistemology of the local #Linux vulnerability, #copyfail betrays itself. the door left open in AF_ALG by accident. Disclaimer: I used to handle #INFOSEC for #JPMorganChase in 2001 and was part of the #hacking & phone #phreaking #underground throughout the 90s before going legit, and well before my formal R&D work and Ph.D. I am primarily an internetworking specialist but cybersecurity is an adjacent field I have done small beer in.

Joybubbles – Museum of the Moving Image

Joe Engressia discovered at a very young age that by whistling a specific tone into the telephone, he could manipulate the entire system. Rachael J. Morrison’s delightful, enriching documentary is a tribute to an individual who overcame our ableist society in a most unusual and subversive manner. This screening, co-presented by ReelAbilities Film Festival, will feature open captions and open audio descriptions. Director Rachael J. Morrison in person.

Thinking about my old pal Ozzie Osband. He would have been very happy today.

In der neuen Folge erzähle ich die Geschichte von John Draper alias Captain #Crunch. Es geht um Technik, #Phreaking und natürlich auch die Vorwürfe gegen ihn.

#122: Captain Crunch

Konnte man früher tatsächlich das Telefonnetz mit einer Plastikpfeife aus einer Cornflakespackung kontrollieren? John Draper wurde als Captain Crunch weit über die Hackerszene hinaus bekannt. Eine Plastikpfeife aus einer Cornflakespackung soll ihm die Macht gegeben haben, das amerikanische Telefonnetz auszutricksen. Kostenlose Ferngespräche. Ein System, das eigentlich unantastbar schien. Und irgendwo in dieser Geschichte tauchen zwei junge Männer auf: Steve Jobs und Steve Wozniak. Doch um der Geschichte gerecht zu werden, muss man zwischen der Legende Captain Crunch und der realen Person John Draper unterscheiden. Der Mythos ist schillernd. Der Mensch dahinter deutlich komplizierter. Diese Episode führt euch in die Phreaker-Szene der 1970er Jahre. Und sie erzählt beide Geschichten. Die von John Draper. Und die von Captain Crunch.
