    Phreak wanted

    I am writing a thesis on various aspects of computer security and need help in my research. I need a few minutes of a phreak who knows his stuff. Will you please take a few minutes and answer these questions? You may be published if your takes are legit. Thank you.

    1. What are the roles of phreaks in society?

    2. What motivates them?

    3. What interesting facts do you think are applicable?

    4. Do you believe that what you do is legal? Ethical?

    5. What is the future of phreaking?

    Your questions sound more like for a thesis on Psycology...

    Phreaks are motivated by the quest of learning... and some anarchy thoughts.

    It is certainly ilegal, how ethical is up to the society and perspective you look at it.

    Some info about motivation and beginning of phreaking can be found here

    hah

    i dont think we have a role in society. i just do it because it's something really cool to do on a friday with some mates. earning £6 is crap. i could sell the wires for more than that. in fact. nails, antifreeze and a hacksaw blade cost alot more than £6. but it's hella worth it

    I shant dignify that with a response.....wait.... I just did....damn!
    I did it again.

    There is no role. For you. In society.
    Mankind have a great aversion to intellectual labor; but even supposing knowledge to be easily attainable, more people would be content to be ignorant than would take even a little trouble to acquire it.
