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.

ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ[ Phry Code Pro 3.01 ]ÄÄÄÄ[ by The Rebel ]ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
The Exciter's new version of Phry Code Pro is an excellent improvement to his
last version. The options available in this version cannot even compare to any
of his older versions. 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. I would recommend this program to any serious
PCP hacker. -TR
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ[ Phry Code Pro 3.01 History ]ÄÄÄÄ[ by The Exciter ]ÄÄ
10/06/88 - Phry Code Pro was just a REAL generic PCP Hacker used for myself
and a few friends. 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..

ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ[ Phreak Tools File Review ]ÄÄÄÄ[ by The Rebel ]ÄÄÄÄÄ
Professor Falken's Phreak Tools,released on 5/3/89, is a semi-useful program
that can be used to find the owner of any (800) or (900) exchange. 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

ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ[ Automated Operator Service ]ÄÄÄÄÄ[ by The Rebel ]ÄÄÄ
An automated operator service has been implemented in many area codes, even
though it is normally only used in ESS cities, from pay phones it provides
easy scanning of calling cards w/out the operator getting in the way. 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
