Introduction



   What precedes this introduction is what I have termed "The 

Official Phreakers Manual", while it may not be.  Many times I have 

been on a BBS, which has files claiming to have summed up all the 

ways to phreak in the U.S. and abroad, well those were pretty lame 

and a couple pages long.  Now after many relentless hours of work, 

I have done it.  This is an informative file and the authors of this 

and the authors from which I have gathered information, take 

absolutely NO responsibility and are not liable for, under any 

circumstances for damage, direct, indirect, incidental, or 

consequential.



    Warning: Use of this material may shorten your life in the free world!



   Ok enough of the bullshit, I readily admit that this is mainly a 

compilation of available phreak material and public resources.  

What I have done is to gather it all together and edit, compile, 

check for errors, put in a readable form, and finally to write what I 

know without echoing what others have said. I have set this up that 

it is good for all levels of phreaks, going from novice to advanced, 

and references and tables for easy reference in the back.

   This manual is constantly being updated!  If you have any 

contributions or corrections or comments, please leave messages to 

me (Jack the Ripper) on any BBS's I am on (probably where you got 

it).  Thanks!
