    Steve Wozniak. http://www.woz.org http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Wozniak http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_box http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_computer Steve Wozniak’s patent: Microcomputer for use with video display. Apple 1 manual. Apple 1 manual (PDF). http://apple2history.org/ http://www.digibarn.com/ http://www.macmothership.com/ http://www.multimedialab.be http://www.mast-r.org Wozniak’s early inspirations came from his father Jerry who was a Loc- kheed engineer, and from a fictional wonder-boy: Tom Swift. His father infected him with fascination for electronics and would often check over young Woz’s creations. Tom Swift, on the other hand, was for Woz an epitome of creative freedom, scientific knowledge, and the ability to find solutions to problems. Tom Swift would also attractively illustrate the big awards that await the inventor. To this day, Wozniak returns to Tom Swift books and reads them to his own kids as a form of inspiration. John Draper explained to Wozniak the Blue Box, a device with which one could (mis)use the telephone system by emulating pulses (i.e. phone phreaking). Although Draper instructed Woz not to produce and especially not sell the gadgets on account of the possibility of being discovered, Wo- zniak built and sold Blue Boxes for $150 a piece. Wozniak met Steve Jobs while working a summer job at HP, and they began selling blue boxes to- gether. Many of the purchasers of their blue boxes were in fact discovered and sure enough John Draper was linked to their use. 1975. By 1975, Woz dropped out of the University of California, Berkeley (he would later finish his degree in 1987) and came up with a computer that eventually became successful nationwide.

  • Fun with Dick and Jane and Interview with a Phone Phreak
    Fun with Dick and Jane by Lewis Gum and Edward Oxford Betty Furness [consumerist]: Who uses these gizmos? Joe Doherty [director-corporate security, AT&T]: The cross-section of American society. They range in age from 25 to 55, professional people, doctors, lawyers, businessmen. Betty Furness: Well, you're making it sound like they' re not necessarily poor people. Joe Doherty: Not necessarily at all. They are just out to steal telephone service. - From NBC's Today Show, July 13, 1978 Cheating on phone service is nothing new. The idea probably was triggered soon after Alexander Graham Bell yelled out to Watson across the first telephone hookup. In fact, con artists actually did follow Professor Bell's footsteps very closely: Claims to prior invention rolled in just as soon as a bright future was forecast for the new gadget. After the good professor's work was successfully defended, other attempts at ripoff popped up at regular intervals. Currently, the best-known means of telephone fraud involves the use of toll service. While motives behind beating the phone company differ- from getting something for nothing to the challenge of outfoxing the system- the methods run the gamut from the crude to futuristically sophisticated. The rationale promulgated by practitioners varies. But Dick, the businessman passing an invalid credit card number; Jane, the housewife charging a call to an unauthorized third party; and Bud, the electronic wizard using widgets to hitch free rides on the telephone network, do have something in common: Each is committing fraud. Some people with otherwise impeccable credentials somehow feel that the telephone company is so big that if you can get away with cheating Ma Bell, then it's all right.

  • History of Hacking Part 1: Phone Phreaking Bruce Nikkel
    History of Hacking Part 1: Phone Phreaking Bruce Nikkel Published in HISTEC Journal, a publication by the Swiss computer museum Enter (https://enter.ch). This is part one of a four part series on the history of computer hacking. The words "hacker" and "hacking" in the context of technology was first used in the Tech Model Railway club at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the 1950s. A “hack” by students referred to a clever technical or engineering achievement (sometimes in the form of pranks) for the purpose of fun and learning. Early hackers and hacking were not associated with criminal activity. To begin this series we start with hacking activity on the earliest public global network, the original telephone system. In this article we explore early hackers known as "phone phreaks" or “phreakers” and the technical methods they used. Before home computers or the Internet became popular, a hacking technique called "phone phreaking" was used to exploit weaknesses in the global telephone system. The word "phreak" is an English misspelling of "freak" using the "ph" from the word phone (the switching of "f" with "ph" for hacking is also used today with the word phishing). Phone phreaks learned how telephone networks functioned and manipulated central switching infrastructure by generating tones and pulses. Unlike the hacks from MIT students, phone phreaking was considered criminal activity in many countries where wire fraud laws prevented unauthorized misuse of network systems and bypassing telephone billing to make free calls. When phone companies started to transition from human switchboard operators to automated dialing and switching systems they needed a way to pass signals from the customer's phone to the telephone switching infrastructure.
