Due to the fact that that is the phastest way to get them to me... Full credit will be given for all articles... Ok, on with the column.... Nitrocellulose ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Nitrocellulose is usually called "gunpowder" or "guncotton". It is more stable than black powder, and it produces a much greater volume of hot gas. It also burns much faster than black powder when it is in a confined space. Finally, nitrocellulose is fairly easy to make, as outlined by the following procedure: MATERIALS EQUIPMENT ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ cotton (cellulose) two (2) 200-300 ml beakers concentrated funnel and filter paper nitric acid blue litmus paper concentrated sulfuric acid distilled water 1) Pour 10 cc of concentrated sulfuric acid into the beaker. Add to this 10 cc of concentrated nitric acid. 2) Immediately add 0.5 gm of cotton, and allow it to soak for exactly 3 minutes. 3) Remove the nitrocotton, and transfer it to a beaker of distilled water to wash it in. 4) Allow the material to dry, and then re-wash it. 5) After the cotton is neutral when tested with litmus paper, it is ready to be dried and stored. -TR RDX ÄÄÄ R.D.X., also called cyclonite, or composition C-1 (when mixed with plasticisers) is one of the most valuable of all military explosives. This is because it has more than 150% of the power of T.N.T., and is much easier to detonate. It should not be used alone, since it can be set off by a not-too severe shock. It is less sensitive than mercury fulminate, or nitroglycerine, but it is still too sensitive to be used alone. R.D.X. can be made by the surprisingly simple method outlined hereafter. It is much easier to make in the home than all other high explosives, with the possible exception of ammonium nitrate. MATERIALS EQUIPMENT ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ hexamine 500 ml beaker or methenamine glass stirring rod fuel tablets (50 g) funnel and filter paper concentrated nitric acid (550 ml) ice bath container(plastic bucket) distilled water centigrade thermometer table salt blue litmus paper ice ammonium nitrate 1) Place the beaker in the ice bath, and carefully pour 550 ml of concentrated nitric acid into the beaker. 2) When the acid has cooled to below 20 degrees centigrade, add small amounts of the crushed fuel tablets to the beaker. The temperature will rise, and it must be kept below 30 degrees centigrade, or dire consequences could result. Stir the mixture. 3) Drop the temperature below zero degrees centigrade, either by adding more ice and salt to the old ice bath, or by creating a new ice bath. Or, ammonium nitrate could be added to the old ice bath, since it becomes cold when it is put in water. Continue stirring the mixture, keeping the temperature below zero degrees centigrade for at least twenty minutes 4) Pour the mixture into a litre of crushed ice. Shake and stir the mixture, and allow it to melt. Once it has melted, filter out the crystals, and dispose of the corrosive liquid. 5) Place the crystals into one half a litre of boiling distilled water. Filter the crystals, and test them with the blue litmus paper. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until the litmus paper remains blue. This will make the crystals more stable and safe. 6) Store the crystals wet until ready for use. Allow them to dry completely using them. R.D.X. is not stable enough to use alone as an explosive. 7) Composition C-1 can be made by mixing 88.3% R.D.X. (by weight) with 11.1% mineral oil, and 0.6% lecithin. Kneed these material together in a plastic bag. This is a good way to desensitize the explosive. 8) H.M.X. is a mixture of T.N.T. and R.D.X.; the ratio is 50/50, by weight. it is not as sensitive, and is almost as powerful as straight R.D.X. 9) By adding ammonium nitrate to the crystals of R.D.X. after step 5, it should be possible to desensitize the R.D.X. and increase its power, since ammonium nitrate is very insensitive and powerful. Soduim or potassium nitrate could also be added; a small quantity is sufficient to stabilize the R.D.X. 10) R.D.X. detonates at a rate of 8550 meters/second when it is compressed to a density of 1.55 g/cubic cm.

His multi-plate hacking is a definite help to the program, and the added color changes and misc. options definitely make this version a "must-get" program.

It didn't have a name yet. 01/30/89 - Well, first official copy was released. I named it finally. All options have been enabled. And, then source was not included. The reason is, the 10/06/88 version was stupid and I didn't care. This one is a lot better. 02/02/89 - I fixed a few bugs in the source. Pretty much the same as 01/30/89 version. 02/07/89 - Fixed the repeating code bug. I also added the beeping when contacted, I forgot to put that one in there. 02/26/89 - PCP is now compiled in Turbo Pascal 5.0! It should be a little faster and will be a little more reliable. I also made a more detailed documentation. 03/19/89 - Well, Phry Code Pro has gone through some major changes! Well, first of all, I changed the formats of hacking a lot. Now, PCP (Phry Code Pro) is user friendly. You can hack multiple ID's and other neat stuff! The documentation is now full of all the things you need to know! 03/27/89 - I fixed a few minor bugs. No external differences. I also fixed the modem setup. It was locking up computers because the comport was not set right. It will now init the modem before hacking. 04/02/89 - Fixed the runtime error that people were receiving if the port was not open. Not really a big deal but it looks nicer! 04/03/89 - Ooops.. I really boofed.. I forgot to reopen the comport. You really received a lot of strange return from the modem. I think this is it for PCP v2.xx.. I think I finally got all the bugs out!! Hooray!! My next goal is v3.00.. This one will be totally awesome. (I hope!!) 06/11/89 - Well, the first realease of the v3.xx series. I hope you like the changes. I only changed a few things though. It is not really what I wanted to begin. But hey, there are no hackers to hack the new formats. 07/04/89 - This version is just a fix of the bugs in v3.00. There is nothing new. The problem people were having was the equation I was using to select a plate with the menu bar was screwed. Understand?? I doubt it. Keep on CHOPin' guys..

It also has the capability to give the C/NA number(s) for any given area code. Due to the fact that the same thing could have been accomplished with 3 text files,it is quite bulky. But besides that fact it is quite useful. One problem with this program is that once an 800/900 exchange or C/NA number is given the program turns off and you have to run it again to use it. The documentation for this program is quite complete and the program is quite phreak-friendly and the documentation doesn't even need to be glanced at,unless your curiosity gets the better of you. -TR ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ[ "TERMINAL.TXT" - TTL TXT File ]ÄÄÄÄ[ by The Rebel ]ÄÄ For those of you who have seen this file but haven't downloaded it,I'll explain it to you.

To use this service to get phree calls inside your area code(like from pay phones or what not) all you have to do is dial 0+Number then wait for the service to implement itself then push in the area-code and number of the phone you want to charge the call to and it's all yours... Right now I am only sure that it's available in most of Ohio and some of New Jersey, I'm not sure about the rest of the world... But if it'll do someone out there any good, then there it is. It's the easiest in-area code phreak possible. You can't charge it to a pay phone,but you can use this to scan for pay-phones(slow,but sure). You can not use this technique from a pay phone, either. The only realy use for this technique is for calling anywhere in your area code for phree,but that's good enough for an easy-ass way to phreak. A full txt file dedicated to this will be available from -:TTL:- in the near future. -TR ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ[ Acronyms ]ÄÄÄÄ[ by The Rebel ]ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Wanna learn everything about the telephone system,huh?
