For those of you who grew up in the 60's and 70's this will be a walk down memory lane for some of you, and a glimpse into a parallel world you only heard bits and pieces about, for most of you. For the rest of you - just hold on to your hats as you are taken on a mystical tour of a world you never knew existed.The author accurately describes the general attitude of the country towards TPC (The Phone Company) as portrayed in The President's Analyst, a 1967 film starring James Coburn. In it the TPC (read Ma Bell) is hated by everyone. Cheating Ma Bell out of a few bucks, did not seem to be a real moral issue, as it was generally felt they had been cheating the public for years, was the attitude of the day. In reading the book the author takes you back in time, explains how you got there and seems to make the technical parts easy to understand.This detailed history, made up though the telling of the various stories of the original phone phreaks, is easy reading and very enjoyable. The author has really done his homework in putting this together - both with interviews, the reviewing of original documents, and a healthy dose of FOIA requests to the FBI, DOJ, and others. He is thus able to put both sides, of most of the various events, onto the table for the reader to enjoy.Enjoyable and well worth reading.
Being a phreak active between the late 80's to early 90's, and then off and on until around 2001, I was VERY excited to hear about this book. I had attended HOPE in NYC (my 8th HOPE out of the 9) in July 2012, and had listened to a talk about this upcoming book by the author. I also had a chance to speak with him after the talk. The author tells a compelling story that makes us want to turn the page to find out what happens next.If you don't read any further, just know that the book is EXCELLENT, and highly recommended.I am so grateful that someone took the immense time and effort to reconstruct the history of this subculture. Not many people have ever heard of this and even fewer have actually participated. I miss these days and a chance to relive or revisit these memories is priceless to me.Overall editing was strong. Very Very few typos, spelling mistakes, grammar mistakes. I only counted one or two, and I'm a picky reader.Overall technical details were mostly right. The one glaring mistake has to do with beige-boxing. The error might have been his source --- I didn't double-check that. Beige-boxing generally involves attaching a phone (or buttset, or computer/modem) to someone else's phone line. Whether it is your neighbor's, or you open a telco panel someplace and connect, this is beige-boxing --- gaining physical access to phone line from which to make/receive your calls.Overall coverage is the only area that I think needs some improvement. I'm probably biased, but as a late comer, there was still a significant phreaker base easily into the mid-90's. While indeed the blue-boxing targeted switches(mostly) outside of the US (and Lapsley points this out), there were many other related forms that could have help add color to the story. I'm thinking of things like diverters (op-diverting, 800s), 950s, red-boxing of non-COCOTS, 0700 teleconferences, 800 AT&T teleconferences, country-direct 800s for blue-boxing, MCI's personal 800's, and calling card fraud.Some of these areas are probably less "holy" or less "pure" form of phreaking, but there were still some significant areas of exploration to be had, opportunities to learn with others, and magic to uncover. There were no easy effective affordable cross-country, or global, way of communicating with our new phreaker friends. With the pool of interested people so small and spread out, there were enough barriers to entry to the Internet (especially prior to the WWW) like lack of affordable available non-metered Internet access and POPs, equipment/software required, and quality of rural phone lines. Talking on the phone was better/faster/easier earlier on. It may sound odd, but the free calls enabled the collaboration and discussion between us. Reminds me of the chicken and egg problem. No flaw, no phreakers, no need to discuss it, no ability to explore the system. Hrrrrmph.There was very minimal mention of VMB cities like "codelines" and the crossover connections involving BBS's, wardialing, hacking, and so on. Minor mention of dumpster diving. No real mention of hacking phone switches from the command line via dialup (with dialups/pw's obtained from the CO trash). Minor mention of Asterix, VoIP phreaking, and so on.Lapsley did a pretty good job of explaining the WHY. He's right: we didn't have anyone to call (ok, a couple warez BBS's in Europe, Australia, and Uruguay comes to mind) but getting free calls was never the goal. We were different from the bookmakers, from the businessmen, and from people working to make a quick buck by selling boxes or phone calls. We wanted to explore this awesome complex system, figure out how it works, manipulate it, and play with it. We loved Ma Bell, we loved the system, we respected the system --- we didn't want to destroy it. And yes, we like soldering in our basement labs.While it likely takes an engineer to REALLY get this: it's the journey, not the destination.
Phil Lapsley presents a wonderful picture of the origins, heyday, and ultimate decline of the phone phreaks of the 1950s - 1970s.The phone phreak phenomenon was a unique convergence of cultural and technological advances. The Bell System began automating their long distance network, reducing its reliance on human operators. The launch of the Soviet Sputnik satellite in 1957 galvanized the United States into promoting science and technology programs in schools, creating and encouraging a generation of technically curious teens and young adults. Through, what Lapsley calls in his book "The Law of Unintended Consequences", a generation of phone phreaks emerged. This group of technically savvy and curious teens succeeded in cracking the technical secrets of the monolithic Bell system, giving them the power to control the far reaching telephone network from any telephone with small push-button devices called blue boxes. And for years, the Bell system was powerless to stop it.The book presents its technical material in a way that satisfies the engineer, while still making the story interesting to the non-technical reader. It does this in a manner similar to the 1971 Esquire magazine article by Ron Rosenaum, that first popularized phone phreaking. It also presents, in a balanced and fair manner, the perspectives of the phone phreaks, and the Bell System and government security people charged with apprehending them.There has been a very limited amount of information available on the subject of phone phreaks, even with the advent of the Internet. The same fragmented stories are repeated with minor variations. Some characters, like Captain Crunch, have taken on roles of near mythic proportion. Information on the very earliest phone phreaks is hard to come by. This book fills in those long-missing blanks and misconceptions.Lapsley gives a number of accounts of the exploits of the earliest phone phreaks, many whose names are relatively unknown. I found these accounts the most fascinating in the book. In the era of the Internet, it is hard to appreciate what an amazing accomplishment it was that a curious teen could independently figure out the operation of one of the most complex machines ever created. Often without any documentation whatever, their discoveries were made by a combination of observation, experimentation and intuition.The book also details well the degeneration of phone phreaking from its origins of technical exploration as it became politicized and radicalized. Organized crime used the techniques for bookmaking. The Yippies promoted phreaking as a way to "screw the system".If you enjoyed the book, be sure to check out some of the supplementary material that the author has made available on his web site at [...]. The interview transcript with John Treichler, founder and CTO of Applied Signal Technology, is particularly fascinating. It shows that many of the early phone phreaks went on to become key contributors to the art of telephony and technology. It dispels the notion of phone phreaks as little more than criminals out to defraud the Bell system.
