In COCOT Hacking,
Chris Miller takes you inside the world of Phone Phreaking.
With the aid of
the beautiful Lindsey and foul-mouthed Justin, Chris will teach
you exactly what you need to know.
 Notes
from: Chris
"just a basic cocot hacking tutorial video i shot in 1996. it
centers mostly around the 800# trick and its variants for bypassing
the cocots software. it was one of the first things i ever did
with my new video camera and part of the reason i bought it. too
bad i never distributed it or showed it around in any way. most
of the information is dated by now and the phreaking books i was
going to release at the same time entitled 'telesabotage' and
'boxing manual' were either stolen by exgirlfreinds with a grudge
or dissapeared during the numerous police raids i suffered through
at that time in my life. perhaps if i ever get bored enough i'll
reconstruct 'telesabotage' only because that had a lot of stuff
that can't be dated as far as giving a lone individual tools to
wreak havoc with major corporations with little or no risk. then
again i dont want to encourage that type of behavior anymore now
that i am a responsible adult.
lindsey was great putting
up with the shoot because i literally had to drag her out of bed
and away from the phone where her boyfriend was in detox and trying
to call her. matt got some great shots but once again the only
problem with some of his footage is that he tends to talk into
the scene. i guess it comes from working with silent film so much.
even though i had a
limited script to work from i tended to over shoot some scenes
and under shoot others or even completely omit them. the script
was for a much more complex tutorial. lindsey didnt quite grasp
the technique of the 800# trick and i should have rectified that
before getting into the shoot so it looked more like she knew
what she was doing. justin who was along for the shoot did some
great improv phone calls, all of which couldn't be included, which
is a shame.
special thanks to terri
for driving the whole cast and crew around all day.
