i was woundering why dont we have a fourm for phreaking i mean i like it and i bet most people here like to mess with phones to their is not as much stuff that you can do know as you could do in the 80s or earley 90s but still it is fun i think we should have a fourm for phreaking put in or am i the only one. any one else think we should have one plz post if you do.
We don't have it because thats one lame suggestion.
*Edited: Oh and im sure most would not want this place to end up like blackcode has... the only good thing they've got going for them are news reports from other sites and people's comments on them.
what, phone security? are you retarded? this is a security site, not "Lets all dance around and learn how to get our buddie's password and email cute little messages to his girlfriend.. blah blah."
this is like asking for a forum called " how to break into computers.."
voIP ring a bell? Will probably bring up LOADS of network security issues...
IP Telephony security is on it's way, and I predict there will be a forum in a year or so.

Cisco thinks it's pretty important
Yeah if he'd suggested how to secure yourself from phreaking, it wouldnt been this bad ! Even though there aren't that many areas yet in that field !
Not many members have heard about this... its kinda a inside joke, but anyways... This kinda reminds me of that time I put rude comments & jokes... not to mention gay porno all over SpecHackers.com cause they ripped part of my name... and they were a bunch of jack-asses who spamed their site on AO, then flamed a guy when the same thing happend to their site, oh and took tutorials from AO members as their own.
Anyways... anyways... because of what I did they ended up makeing a new forum specificly for cyber-sexing and posting up more porn.
Not to knock your idea, but I HIGHLY doubt there's enough interest in the first place as well as the fact that phreaking in general isn't as big a subject anymore these days. Topics such as wireless security, spyware, etc are more "today" so to speak IMO.
I agree with Soda~
At present I would suggest that such issues belong in the "Wireless Security" Forum.Quote:

As hand held devices become more sophisticated and mobile phones become more like PCs, I can see this rapidly becoming a real issue. A bit like connecting laptops to your network is today.
I do not personally see any need for a forum on "phreaking" It is rather lame (as already stated), limited in its scope and pretty much outdated. I really do not think that there are sufficient issues to warrant a forum on a security site.
just my £0.02 :)
You know I found that carefully placed cuts in the toung will help heaps in being able to whistle up the DTMP tones.. I was also able to confuse Fax machines.. .. the slits had to be recut about once a month.. could impress the girls by whisltling their phone no.. and the pizza shop.. .. Ahhh the good fun days..
Could never quiet get the fax transmission rythem right..
phreaking .. still a lame sport.. and the request for a forum on phreaking is like asking for a forum for "How to Hack Hotmail".. as lame as putting slits in ya tounge
cheers
Ok Ok i just thaught that it might be a good addition to the site guess i was wrong sorry for wasting your time.
d00d!! Now that is just sick!... you ARE kidding... right? I mean could you really do that to yourself just to break the law? Oh! sorry... to impress the girls? :confused:Quote:

lol...ouch.
A phreaking forum (or should it be phorum :P) would be totally out of place here. When you use the name phreaking, it becomes blatantly obvious that it has nothing to do with security. Phone security, however, is quite important since so much important data is simply passed down phone lines.
Think about it, you could probably tap the connection to the phone line outside an office building, and intercept all their data without anyone noticing because of the way that phone signals are electric. How dyu get round that?

Gothic_type, you'd have to use an encrypted line for that. That way, no one can snoop on your conversations. I believe that that's what is called a secure line.

Fair enough, I already knew that (although I accept that there was no way for you to know that I did since I didn't explain the question better). Besides encryption, I wonder if there is a way to get round phone tapping because if you can get the encrypted data, there is always a way to crack the encryption. Doing so might take too long for it to be worthwhile, but not necessarily. And when you think about the knew ways being developed for cracking encryption algorithms (like rainbow tables, etc), it does seem worrying. Basically, is a secure line particularly secure?
I'm sure that secure lines would use some method of encryption that would be impossible to crack with rainbow tables, but I'm sure there is some other method available (or some other method that will be developed). Therefore, to enable people to still have the benefit of secure lines, you would have to develop some other method of security, one that did not depend on encryption.
Perhaps security via obfuscation or obscuration could be used, eg. you could hide data as something else (note the difference between as and in). But then again, maybe not...I really don't know enough about this sort of technology to comment - that's perhaps why I find it so interesting.

Yes .. I Was Kidding.. read it once on a Phreaking forum.. don't know if the author was though!..
Phreaking has stooped to stupid levels in the past. .. these days it is like any other low tech crime .. free phone calls.. steal someones mobile phone..and ditch it after a few days.... Phreakers are just that .. a bunch of Lame arse wanking thieves.. worse than the "How do I hack Hotmail L053rs"
Not a waste, just a little outdated. As Soda said, VOIP would certainly fall into a "phone security" heading, and should be considered as a possible future addition to AO as the technology becomes more widespread.Quote:
