further complicate matters, the new GM cars employ metal shields to make the use of a

Slim Jim type instrument very difficult. So:

Lock Technology Corporation

LTC offers a cute little tool which will easily remove the lock cylinder without harm to the

vehicle, and will allow you to enter and/or start the vehicle. The GMC-40 sells for $56.00

plus $2.00 for postage and handling.

The best general automobile opening kit is probably a set of lockout tools offered by:

Steck MFG Corporation

For $29.95 one can purchase a complete set of six carbon lockout tools that will open more

than 95% of all the cars around.

Kwickset locks have become quite popular as one step security locks for many types of

buildings. They are a bit harder to pick and offer a higher degree of security than a

normal builder installed door lock. So:

Massilon, OH 44646

Price is $11.95. Kwickset locks can handily be disassembled and the door opened without

harm to either the lock or the door by using the above mentioned Kwick Out tool.

VS sells tryout keys for most cars (tryout keys are used since there is no one master key

for any one make of car, but there are group type masters (a.k.a. tryout keys). Prices

average about $20.00 a set.

Updated Lockpicking:

For years, there have been a number of pick attack procedures for most pin and tumbler

lock systems. In reverse order of ease they are as follows:

Normal Picking:

Using a pick set to align the pins, one by one, until the shear line is set and the lock opens.

Racking:

This method uses picks that are constructed with a series of bumps, or diamond shape

notches. These picks are "raked" (i.e. run over all the pins at one time). With luck, the pins

will raise in the open position and stay there. Raking, if successful, can be much less of an

effort than standard picking.

Lock Aid Gun:

This gun shaped device was invented a number of years ago and has found application with

many locksmiths and security personnel. Basically, a needle shaped pick is inserted in the

snout of the "gun", and the "trigger" is pulled. This action snaps the pick up and down

strongly. If the tip is slipped under the pins, they will also be snapped up and down

strongly. With a bit of luck they will strike each other and separate at the shear line for a

split second. When this happens the lock will open. The lock aid gun is not 100% successful,

but when it does work, the results are very dramatic. You can sometimes open the lock

with one snap of the trigger.

Vibrator:

Some crafty people have mounted a needle pick into an electric toothbrush power unit.

This vibrating effect will sometimes open pin tumbler locks -- instantly.

There is now another method to open pin and wafer locks in a very short time. Although it

resembles a toothbrush pick in appearance, it is actually an electronic device. I am

speaking of the Cobra pick that is designed and sold by:

Fed Corporation

P.O. Box 569

Scottsdale, AR 85252

The Cobra uses two nine volt batteries, teflon bearings (for less noise), and a cam roller. It

comes with three picks (for different types of locks) and works both in America and

overseas, on pin or wafer locks. The Cobra will open group one locks (common door locks) in

three to seven seconds with no damage, in the hands of an experienced locksmith. It can

take a few seconds more or up to a half a minute for someone with no experience at all. It

will also open group two locks (including government, high security, and medicos), although

this can take a short time longer. It will not open GM sidebar locks, although a device is

about to be introduced to fill that gap. How much for this toy that will open most locks in

seven seconds?

$235.00 plus $4.00 shipping and handling.

For you hard core safe crackers, FC also sells the MI-6 that will open most safes at a cost

of $10,000 for the three wheel attack model, and $10,500 for the four wheel model. It

comes in a sturdy aluminum carrying case with monitor, disk drive and software.

If none of these safe and sane ideas appeal to you, you can always fall back on the magic

thermal lance...

The thermal lance is a rather crude instrument constructed from 3/8 inch hollow

magnesium rods. Each tube comes in a 10 foot length, but can be cut down if desired. Each

one is threaded on one end. To use the lance, you screw the tube together with a matted

regulator (like a welding outfit uses) and hook up an oxygen tank. Then oxygen is turned on

and the rod is lit with a standard welding igniter. The device produces an incredible

amount of heat. It is used for cutting up concrete blocks or even rocks. An active lance will

go through a foot of steel in a few seconds. The lance is also known as a burning bar, and is

available from:

6. The Arts of Lockpicking II by The Jolly Roger

So you want to be a criminal. Well, if you want to be like James Bond and open a lock in

fifteen seconds, then go to Hollywood, because that is the only place you are ever going to

do it. Even experienced locksmiths can spend five to ten minutes on a lock if they are

unlucky. If you are wanting extremely quick access, look elsewhere. The following

instructions will pertain mostly to the "lock in knob" type lock, since it is the easiest to

pick.

First of all, you need a pick set. If you know a locksmith, get him to make you a set. This

will be the best possible set for you to use. If you find a locksmith unwilling to supply a

set, don't give up hope. It is possible to make your own, if you have access to a grinder

(you can use a file, but it takes forever).

The thing you need is an allen wrench set (very small). These should be small enough to fit

into the keyhole slot. Now, bend the long end of the allen wrench at a slight angle (not

90ø). Now, take your pick to a grinder or a file, and smooth the end until it is rounded so it

won't hang inside the lock. Test your tool out on doorknobs at your house to see if it will

slide in and out smoothly. Now, this is where the screwdriver comes in. It must be small

enough for it and your pick to be used in the same lock at the same time, one above the

other. In the coming instructions, please refer to this chart of the interior of a lock:

______________________________

\ K

| | | | | | / E

| | | | \ Y [|] Upper tumbler pin

^ ^ / H [^] Lower tumbler pin

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ \ O [-] Cylinder wall

/ L (This is a greatly simplified

\ E drawing)

______________________________/

The object is to press the pin up so that the space between the upper pin and the lower pin

is level with the cylinder wall. Now, if you push a pin up, it's tendency is to fall back down,

right? That is where the screwdriver comes in. Insert the screwdriver into the slot and

turn. This tension will keep the "solved" pins from falling back down. Now, work from the

back of the lock to the front, and when you are through, there will be a click, the

screwdriver will turn freely, and the door will open.

Do not get discouraged on your first try! It will probably take you about twenty to thirty

minutes your first time. After that, you will quickly improve with practice.

7. Solidox Bombs by The Jolly Roger

Most people are not aware that a volatile, extremely explosive chemical can be bought over

the counter: Solidox.

Solidox comes in an aluminum can containing 6 grey sticks, and can be bought at K-Mart,

and various hardware supply shops for around $7.00. Solidox is used in welding applications

as an oxidizing agent for the hot flame needed to melt metal. The most active ingredient

in Solidox is potassium chlorate, a filler used in many military applications in the WWII

era.

Since Solidox is literally what the name says: SOLID OXygen, you must have an energy

source for an explosion. The most common and readily available energy source is common

household sugar, or sucrose. In theory, glucose would be the purest energy source, but it is

hard to find a solid supply of glucose.

Making the mixture:

Open the can of Solidox, and remove all 6 sticks. One by one, grind up each of the sticks

(preferably with a mortar and pestle) into the finest powder possible.

The ratio for mixing the sugar with the Solidox is 1:1, so weigh the Solidox powder, and

grind up the equivalent amount of sugar.

Mix equivalent amounts of Solidox powder, and sugar in a 1:1 ratio.

It is just that simple! You now have an extremely powerful substance that can be used in a

variety of applications. A word of caution: be EXTREMELY careful in the entire process.

Avoid friction, heat, and flame. A few years back, a teenager I knew blew 4 fingers off

while trying to make a pipe bomb with Solidox. You have been warned!

8. High Tech Revenge: The Beigebox - Rev.2 by The Jolly Roger

I. Introduction

Have you ever wanted a lineman's handset? Surely every phreak has at least once

considered the phun that he could have with one. After searching unlocked phone company

trucks for months, we had an idea. We could build one. We did, and named it the "Beige

Box" simply because that is the color of ours.

The beigebox is simply a consumer lineman's handset, which is a phone that can be

attached to the outside of a person's house. To fabricate a beigebox, follow along.

II. Construction and Use

The construction is very simple. First you must understand the concept of the device. In a

modular jack, there are four wires. These are red, green, yellow, and black. For a single

line telephone, however, only two matter: the red (ring) and green (tip). The yellow and the

black are not necessary for this project. A lineman's handset has two clips on it: the ring

and the tip. Take a modular jack and look at the bottom of it's casing. There should be a

grey jack with four wires (red, green, yellow & black) leading out of it. To the end of the

red wire attach a red alligator clip. To the end of the green wire attach a green alligator

clip. The yellow and black wires can be removed, although I would only set them aside so

that you can use the modular jack in future projects. Now insert your telephone's modular

plug into the modular jack. That's it. This particular model is nice because it is can be

easily made, is inexpensive, uses common parts that are readily available, is small, is

lightweight, and does not require the destruction of a phone.

III. Beige Box Uses

There are many uses for a Beige Box. However, before you can use it, you must know how

to attach it to the output device. This device can be of any of Bell switching apparatus

that include germinal sets (i.e. remote switching centers, bridgin heads, cans, etc.) To open

most Bell Telephone switching apparatus, you must have a 7/16 inch hex driver (or a good

pair of needle nose pliers work also). This piece of equipment can be picked up at your local

hardware store. With your hex driver (or pliers), turn the security bolt(s) approximately

1/8 of an inch counter-clockwise and open. If your output device is locked, then you must

have some knowledge of destroying and/or picking locks. However, we have never

encountered a locked output device. Once you have opened your output device, you should

see a mass of wires connected to terminals. On most output devices, the terminals should

be labeled "T" (Tip -- if not labeled, it is usually on the left) and "R" (Ring -- if not labeled,

usually on the right).

Remember: Ring - red - right. The "Three R's" -- a simple way to remember which is which.

Now you must attach all the red alligator clip (Ring) to the "R" (Ring) terminal. Attach the

green alligator clip (Tip) to the "T" (Tip) terminal.

Note: If instead of a dial tone you hear nothing, adjust the alligator clips so that they are

not touching each other terminals. Also make sure they are firmly attached. By this time

you should hear a dial tone. Dial ANI to find out the number you are using (you wouldn't

want to use your own). Here are some practical applications:



Eavesdropping



Long distance, static free, free fone calls to phriends



Dialing direct to Alliance Teleconferencing (also no static)



Phucking people over



Bothering the operator at little risk to yourself



Blue Boxing with greatly reduced chance of getting caught



Anything at all you want, since you are on an extension of that line
