I’m going to ask about A B phones.
I know they were coin phones but my husband refuses to tell me anything beyond that because he wants to hear what all of you have to say.

We are at a bar in Las Vegas and I need your help. Please come to my aid!!!
(Pic attached is my husband being a smug bastard. I love him 🤣❤️)

I asked to come up with a list of 80s-90s hacking and phreaking related books and here is what I got. Spoiler alert: it's pretty much what most humans have suggested too. List in thread below 🧵👇

Hummm... My old adversary, died.

I'll never be asked to contribute to his but he was the best I ever knew and I think he'd have been pleased to hear that -- So if he faked his death just to get that out of me, you are still a bastard, Mr Mitnick!

Rest in peace, Kevin Mitnick: dignitymemorial.com/obituaries

I don't know if younger people know him now, but in his prime he was the most famous hacker in the world, not only in the modern widely-accepted sense (someone who breaks into computers for whatever reason) but also in the original sense.

His talk at Google in 2011: youtube.com/watch?v=aUqes9QdLQ

2600? How Phreaking Really Worked.

This is a really awesome video demonstrating how phone phreaking worked on real telephone switches at the Connections Museum.

Target store phone phreaking attack allows unfettered access to their intercom system. The ‘70’s called and want their hack back, no they literally called.

Any old about? I’ve seen a couple of historical references recently to people transatlantic calls from the USA to London, terminating the call on a payphone at Waterloo train station because it was in a busy area and was likely to be answered by a passer by.

Most of those are long gone, but

Does anyone have a record of what the number was?
