// KuroiShi's "Ghetto Ass" Beige Box // // by KuroiShi-san (That's Mr. Black Death to you.) // // http://www.oldskoolphreak.com This is a story, passed down through generations and generations... Phreaking is a hereditary degenerative disease. Anyway, here goes.... I was sitting around at home, bored as usual, when the notion to do some phreaking struck my feeble mind. I go to my basement (where I stash all of my phreaking gear and my hordes of undead i486 boxes), only to realize that I really don't have any phreak gear. I have made many a beige box that have either broken, been lost, stolen, given away, stashed into evidence rooms, eaten by rabid tenors, etc. So I am faced with a dilemma. It is 3 AM, I'm fresh out of aligator clips... What's a poor phreak to do!? Well, I got inventive... There was a phone on the wall in my basement that wasn't even plugged into a line. Not in use, I decide to take that to base my box on. As I sat thinking what to do, I see my washing machine... and I think... "That's it! I'll make my own gator clips out of clothespins!!" First I took a clothespin, took the two halves apart, then drilled a screw through it (using a vice to hold it), soldered the leads from the phone onto the back of it and BAM! My own "Ghetto Ass Beige Box." This is useful for the poor starving phreak who just needs to call his mother for some food stamps. Or the bored kid sitting in his basement with nothing to do.
