  1. RE: hachyderm.io/@sen/116618477936

    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.

  6. 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

  12. @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.

  16. For the first time outside DEF CON, PhreakMe is coming to cackalackycon 2026!
    Test your skills on a PBX system, explore telephony challenges, and yes there’s a real payphone onsite.

  17. 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.

  18. RIP Parmaster. here's the last interview I could find with him.

    youtube.com/watch?v=BkeXk9rBBrs

    if you haven't hear of Par, he's one of the central characters in Suelette Dreyfus' exceptional book on the early australia-US hacking scene: Underground. it goes into incredible detail on their explorations through packet switched networks and telephony of the 80s and 90s.

  19. "Phreaking Politics in Modern America", a new paper by Jacob Bruggeman covers "telephone hacking, AT&T's status as an icon of American technology, and the New Left-to-libertarian pipeline in modern American political order."

  20. One clarification gathered this weekend- Capital Radio was broadly 24h so this would have been available on the shows without phone call-in. I originally assumed it was happening while it was off air.

    I’m honestly dreading asking my dad, despite him (still) being a telecoms engineer. My mother has clarified that this was before he had any knowledge in the area - once he did he was merrily installing what the American phreakers would call black boxes (which he called ERIC) into phones for friends, family, and plod from the local pub…

  25. My mother would like to clarify for the record that a friend got her onto the phone line, she was “too cool” for the fully licensed and legal capital radio and listened to mainly pirate radio, notably Horizon Radio #radio #capitalradio #phreaking #VintagePhoning #1980s #retrochatroom
