The following are a set of rules
which govern the actions and events
concerning phreaking and hacking.
All phreakers and hackers should
be familiar with these in order to
understand the universe that shhe
lives in...
No matter how soon you get a
Compuserve account #, by the time you
try it out, someone has changed the
password.
When hacking an extender or
a Sprint number, you will choose
a field of numbers that has no
valid codes whatsoever.
Cool boards are always busy.
Corollary: When a cool board is
not busy, that is because it is
temporarily down.
2600 hz tones never go through.
Red Boxes never work.
The popularity of a board is
directly proportional to the number
of local losers who will harrass
you on that board.
The probability of data loss is
directly proportional to the
importance of the file being
received.
No matter how soon you get a new
ware, at least 10 people already
have it.
Dow Jones passwords never work.
800 extenders are busy 99% of
the time.
Corrolary: When they are not
busy, your modem does not recog-
nize the carrier that the board
you have been trying to get through
to all night is sending because
the connection is so weak.
If you call a board without
using a long distance service, it
will ring. When you immediately
hang up to save your bill and call
back using a long distance service,
it will be busy.
Your last issue of 2600 got
"lost in the mail".
If only 3 people try to call
Sherwood Forest early Monday
morning, they will all call at
the same time and not try again.
All CNAA dialups become obsolete
upon posting on a board.
That 2400 baud modem you CC'd
will never come.
COSMOS never works the way it
should.
All home-made pyrotechnics will
explode prematurely.
Your prefix uses ESS. The only
people who are still on Crossbar
think "Control Characters" would be
Max, 99, and the Chief.
Black Boxes do not work anywhere
in the universe.
Your file at FBI headquarters is
growing daily.
Your home phone # has been posted
on a board in Nowhere, Iowa by some
Rodent you insulted 2 years ago.
Whenever you need a dumb operator,
you get a smart one.
Corollary: whenever you need
a smart operator, you will get a
dumb one.
Security guards check the trash
bins at AT&T only once a day- when
you are in them.
All carbon copies of credit card
receipts are illegible.
When you order something with
a CC, the salesman will invariably
ask for your home phone #.
That great computer system you spent
2 hours on yesterday had ANI.
TRW formats change every 7 minutes.
The probability that an Operator
will come on and take control of your
conference is directly proportional
to the number of people on and the
importance of the information being
conveyed.
Your 4-year old sister will come
into your room tomorrow and take apart
your blue box.
Files on hacking particular
are always incomplete and inacurate.
Your parents will confiscate your
modem tomorrow.
Your local telephone franchise has
noticed that you made over 300
WATS line calls last month.
