70's and 80's were my ragin years lol.
Haha I totally get it. A buddy at work who is a really “clean” guy was into this, just for the sake of it. He picked a few locks in front of me then gave me a couple of the tools. No idea where they are now lol. I absolutely despise thieves so it’s not about stealing at all. There’s smth about being able to bypass shit regardless of the end goal. Kinda similar to finding network vulnerabilities even though there’s no mal-intent. Back in the phracking days I accidentally stumbled upon an open landline that was apparently also ran up to my POTS box. Since I was out in a rural area, broadband wasn’t available and I was painfully stuck w dialup. With this discovery I was able to shotgun two dialup connections using a dialup router (lol!) that I updated w better firmware. Oh man what a difference lol. I got a call from the dialup ISP asking why (and how) I was able to run that much bandwidth through a dialup connection ?Those things are pretty easy to open haha. Back when I was younger I had a thing for picking locks. I wasn't trying to steal anything, I just enjoyed opening things without keys. Then I got a computer and it became an instant felony / job offer depending on attitude of person that found out. I don't do that anymore but I just found it interesting that you don't need a key or a combination to open them, as they all have "holes".

Anyway I don’t have one of these, but it’s very intriguing to say the least:

Capt Crunch, you met him, very cool. I never have, I’m just a backend hack. Yes Ping of Death damn lol.I got to talk to Captain Crunch one day and I like the fact that he was able to make a Cereal Box toy into something that would allow calls through a payphone. I think they eventually muted the mouth piece of a payphone until money went in, because you could REALLY easily record the tones ech coin made.
I too remember dial up, lol, I had that for years before getting a cable connection.
Network pen checks are funny; If you walk up to a house and knock on the door to see if someone is there, it's TOTALLY legal. If you do that on a Network on the other hand... Remember the Ping of Death ??

I’ve always wanted to actually learn code, cuz everything I’ve ever done was guessing w hex editors and such.

Surely you're both aware of LockpickingLawyer on Youtube?
Haha this is good to know. When I was a really young kid I’d carry a nickel or dime w me, our family didn’t have a lotta money. Certain pay phones would allow you to put in a nickel, hang up, then do it 4x to make a 20c call (2x for the dime). Other phones allowed a paper clip touched from the receiver end to the phone metal body to short it for a call but you had to have smth to get a hole big enough in the receiver to make the connection. This has saved me from walking miles home many times lol. Oh, how about pouring salt water in a coke machine coin slot, or pushing the buttons in a certain sequence to get to the maintenance menus. Some machines sold a shit load of Mtn Dew according to the stats lol.I also remember playing with and line phones because you could dial out using the hang up lever to dial (Essentially however many times you click that, it would dial a specific number, like if you hit the hang up button 9 times in succession it would dial a 9) not a bad thing to know if someone changed the numbers on the phone around haha.
No I haven’t but now I’m curious haha. But I have reversed the reels on a cassette tape of Led Zeppelin Stairway to Heaven to hear the crazy backwards lyrics, blew my fkn mind lol. Sounded so real. Wonder if the MP3 hexed backwards would reveal the same?By the way, you ever open an MP3 or other audio file in a Hex Editor ?
No but thanks for the link. Very interesting.Surely you're both aware of LockpickingLawyer on Youtube?
