They're not as famous as their male counterparts, and yet women were at the core of phreaking operations: Susan Headley, Jude Milhon, and many others knew phone systems inside out, and were not afraid to exploit them.

That latest report on mass location surveillance using SS7 makes me want to try a test.

I’ll enable airplane mode and VoLTE, and see how calls and messages perform when only using VPN over WiFi.

If that works reasonably well then the next step is to us a mobile hotspot for the WiFi.

In the end my SS7 location would always show the geolocated IP address of where the VPN terminates.

Does that sound about right #Privacy #DefCon #Phreaks?

Now this is a nice find!

I've been passed a scan of a notebook from the late 1950s containing details of all the #telephoneExchanges in the UK

This sort of information was used by #telephone enthusiasts (UK #phreaks) to navigate their way around the toll (trunk) network

There were various techniques to get yourself onto a trunk, but once you were there the dialling codes in this notebook would get you anywhere in the country!

Hello phreaks and hackers! I just fully modernized my python blue box DTMF tone generator, apparently someone was actually using it  check it out! https://github.com/zeyus/Python3BlueBox

Any old #phone #phreaks about? I’ve seen a couple of historical references recently to people #phreaking transatlantic calls from the USA to London, terminating the call on a payphone at Waterloo train station because it was in a busy area and was likely to be answered by a passer by.

Most of those #payphones are long gone, but

Does anyone have a record of what the #payphone number was?
