Kevin McDonaldLong before the internet, some phone networks were hackable by playing a single tone at 2600Hz.Whistled into a phone, it could grant you unrestricted access. Do you have the vocal chops to be an old-school phone phreak?I built a web app to test your ability to produce the legendary frequency. You won't get free long distance calls but you will get some honor in the knowledge that you could have been a cool hacker. 😎I am sad to say that I can only whistle up to 1100Hz... But my wife (a long time woodwind player) is able to consistently get it.Give it a try: <a href="https://phreak.kmcd.dev/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://phreak.kmcd.dev/</a><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/phreaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#phreaking</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/2600Hz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#2600Hz</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/bluebox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bluebox</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetroComputing</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/hacker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hacker</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#infosec</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Tech</a>

Mistigris computer artsMistodon: and now for something completely different -- we're not showing off art (well, thanks for this nice logo, grymmjack!) but rather, we're requesting some of it! Our crew is celebrating its 30th anniversary at the end of this month, and we want to give everyone the opportunity to take part in the festivities and party like it's ... 1994.If you have something specific in mind, we're very interested to see what you've got -- but if you could use a prompt to get the creative juices flowing, we have some suggestions:1) We will be circulating an uncoloured, unadorned <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Mistfunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mistfunk</a> logo outline and challenging the typographers among you to shade/colour/finish it off _in your own style_, hopefully yielding compelling variations on a fun theme.2) There are thousands of artworks in our 30 years of back catalogues, and we would love to see some creative remixes, remasters, radical re-interpretations, skilled restorations and postmodern deconstructions of your favorite classic works from our back stacks.3) As though you just fell through a time wormhole into 1994, draw up a promo for the same kinds of things we used to advertise in our packs -- the KiTSCHNet echomail network, Kithe e-mag, our WHQ the Screaming Tomato BBS (or its successor The Jade Monkey, if you prefer), or the PabloDraw ANSI editor (still under active development!) Or maybe you have a different cyberspace lost cause of 1994 that you'd like to give a last huzzah to -- a favorite MUD, newsgroup or GeoCities neighbourhood ... here's your chance!4) If you care to open up the Moebius ANSI editor and join our networked server for the making of collaborative <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ANSIart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ANSIart</a>, in keeping with the <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/phreaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#phreaking</a> and <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/telephony" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#telephony</a> roots of the underground computer artscene, we're hoping to collect a wide assortment of small ANSI vignettes of famous people, real and fictional, from TV, movies and real life, all taking part in a conference call on landlines, mobiles and cellular phones.Please try to get your subs in not long after Nov 23rd, because we've gotta release this beast the following weekend! If you have any questions, you know where to find us!
