These days, a phone is a super-computer in your pocket, but growing up GenX, it was an appliance plugged into the wall. But like today, we still found a way to use the phone for our entertainment. From 900 numbers to party lines; Moviefone to prank calling – we made our own fun. In this Backtrack, we remember all the ways we used to make our own fun with the home telephone.

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch took a break from videogames right after their break from the podcast... and decided to talk about a movie that they all hold near and dear to their hearts: 1995's Hackers. Phone Phreaking, worms, virus, cookie monster, rooftop pools- we go over all of it, and you are going to want to hear it! Get in here!
Mark Phoenix tells us about the cultural phenomenon of phone phreaking and it's connection to the blind community and to the development of assistive tech.
Years ago the telephone network was like the internet is to us today: a vast, interconnected means of communicating and sharing information. And, like the internet today, it attracted people who were interested in learning how it worked by hacking it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Phreaking is a slang term coined to describe the activity of a culture of people who study, experiment with, or explore telecommunication systems, such as equipment and systems connected to public telephone networks. The term phreak is a sensational spelling of the word freak with the ph- from phone, and may also refer to the use of various audio frequencies to manipulate a phone system. Phreak, phreaker, or phone phreak are names used for and by individuals who participate in phreaking. The term first referred to groups who had reverse engineered the system of tones used to route long-distance calls. By re-creating these tones, phreaks could switch calls from the phone handset, allowing free calls to be made around the world. To ease the creation of these tones, electronic tone generators known as blue boxes became a staple of the phreaker community, including future Apple Inc. cofounders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. The blue box era came to an end with the ever-increasing use of computerized phone systems, which sent dialing information on a separate, inaccessible channel. By the 1980s, much of the system in the US and Western Europe had been converted. Phreaking has since become closely linked with computer hacking. This is sometimes called the H/P culture (with H standing for hacking and P standing for phreaking) Information Sourced from; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phreaking Body Sourced From: Code 2600 - Computer History, Hacking and Surveillance Documentary https://youtu.be/F8uuRSfDqiU Public Access America PublicAccessPod Productions Footage edited by PublicAccessPod producer of Public Access America Podcast Links Stitcher: goo.gl/XpKHWB iTunes: goo.gl/soc7KG GooglePlay: goo.gl/gPEDbf YouTube goo.gl/xrKbJb

Die europäische Hackerkultur hat sich in den letzten drei Jahrzehnten vor allem im deutschsprachigen Raum entwickelt - doch auch die holländische Szene spielte eine große und wichtige Rolle. Die internationale und weltoffene Ausrichtung der Stadt Amsterdam hatte dabei eine besondere Bedeutung und sorgte dafür, dass hier zuerst die Internet-Verbindungen in die USA in Betrieb genommen wurden und darüberhinaus ein reger internationaler persönlicher Austausch stattfand. Amsterdam beherbert heute den größten Internetknoten weltweit und der gesellschaftspolitische Einfluss auf die deutsche Szene ist immer noch groß. Netzpionier Rop Gonggrijp ist Hacker der ersten Stunde und ist auch heute noch aktiv. Im Gespräch mit Tim Pritlove berichtet er über Geschichte und Hintergründe der holländischen Szene, der Verflechtung mit dem Chaos Computer Club, netzpolitischen Aktivismus und die Bedeutung der Hackerbewegung im allgemeinen. Themen: Datenreisen der Frühzeit; Phone Phreaking; die Verbindung nach Deutschland; 2600 und die Verbindung in die USA; erste Hackerpartys; das erste Hacker-Camp "Hacking at the End of the Universe" (HEU); das Spiel mit den Medien; die Gründung von XS4ALL; wenn man Telefonleitungen mit dem Geheimdienst tauscht; Wahrnehmung der Hackerszene in der holländischen Gesellschaft; Freiheit und das Leaking von Dokumenten im Netz; Kampf gegen Scientology; zweites Camp "Hacking In Progress" (HIP); gehackte Leihtelefonzellen; Verhältnis zum CCC; der Niedergang der holländischen Gesellschaft; die Glaskugel der Hackerszene; Verstehen wie die Welt funktioniert; Wahlcomputer in Holland und ihre Vernichtung durch die Hackerszene; der Kampf der Hacker gegen den totalitären Staat; letzte Rettung Verfassungsgericht; Privatsphäre; WikiLeaks und das "Collateral Murder" Video; was die Gesellschaft von den Hackern lernen kann und welche Herausforderungen für die Hackerszene anstehen.
