     Most of you have seen WarGames, right? Remember the part where David
was stranded in Colorado and needed to call his girlfriend in Seattle? Wee
knew you did.  If you didn't, what David done was unscrew the  mouthpiece
on  the payphone and make some connection between the mouthpiece and  the
phone.  Well... that was pretty close to reality except for two things...
1> Nowadays,  mouthpieces are un-unscrewable, and 2> You cannot make long
distance  or toll calls using that method.  Maybe that DID work on  older
phones, but you know Ma Bell.  She always has a damn cure for every thing
us Phreaks do.  She glued on the mouthpiece!

     Now to make free local calls, you need a  finishing nail.  Wee highly
recommend "6D E.G. FINISH C/H, 2 INCH" nails.  These are about 3/32 of an
inch  in diameter and 2 inches long (of course).  You also need  a  large
size  paper  clip.  By  large  wee  mean they  are  about  2  inches  long
(FOLDED).  Then  you  unfold the paper clip.  Unfold it  by  taking  each
piece  and  moving  it out 90 degrees.  When it is done  it  should  look
somewhat like this:
                             /----------\
                             :          :
                             :          :
                             :          :
                             :          :
                             \-----

     Now,  on to the neat stuff.  What you do,  instead of unscrewing the
glued-on  mouthpiece,  is  insert the nail into the center  hole  of  the
mouthpiece  (where you talk) and push it in with pressure or just  hammer
it in by hitting the nail on something.  Just DON'T KILL THE  MOUTHPIECE!
You  could  damage  it if you insert the nail too far or  at  some  weird
angle.  If  this happens then the other party won't be able to hear  what
you say.
     You now have a hole in the mouthpiece in which you can easily insert
the  paper clip.  So, take out the nail and put in the paper  clip.  Then
take  the other end of the paper clip and shove it under the rubber  cord
protector at the bottom of the handset (you know, the blue guy...).  This
should end up looking remotely like...like this:

                             /----------\      Mouthpiece
                             :          :      /
             Paper clip -»  :          :     /
                             :      /---:---\
                             :      :   :   :-----------»
         ====================\---))):       :  To earpiece »
                   ^              ^ \-------------------»
                   :              :
                   :              :
                 Cord          Blue guy

(The  paper clip is shoved under the blue guy to make a  good  connection
between the inside of the mouthpiece and the metal cord.)

     Now,  dial  the number of a local number you wish to  call,  sayyyy,
MCI.  If  everything  goes okay, it should ring and not answer  with  the
"The Call You Have Made Requires a 20 Cent Deposit" recording.  After the
other  end  answers  the phone, remove the  paper  clip.  It's  all  that
simple, see?

     There  are  a couple problems,  however.  One  is,  as  wee mentioned
earlier, the mouthpiece not working after you punch it.  If this  happens
to you,  simply move on to the next payphone.  The one you are now on  is
lost.  Another problem is that the touch tones won't work when the  paper
clip is in the mouthpiece. There are two ways around this..
     A> Dial the first 6 numbers.  This should be done without the  paper
clip making the connection, i.e., one side should not be connected.  Then
connect  the paper clip,  hold down the last digit,  and slowly pull  the
paper clip out at the mouthpiece's end.
     B> Don't  use  the paper clip at all.  Keep the nail  in  after  you
punch it.  Dial the first 6 digits.  Before dialing the last digit, touch
the nail head to the plate on the main body of the phone,  the money safe
thingy..then press the last number.

     The  reason  that this method is sometimes called  clear  boxing  is
because  there is another type of phone which lets you actually make  the
call  and  listen  to  them say "Hello,  hello?"  but  it  cuts  off  the
mouthpiece  so  they can't hear you.  The Clear Box is used  on  that  to
amplify your voice signals and send it through the earpiece.  If you  see
how  this  is even slightly similar to the method wee  just  described  up
there, kindly explain it to US!! Cause WEE don't GET IT!

     Anyways,  this DOES work on almost all single slot,  Dial Tone First
payphones (Pacific Bell for sure).  Wee do it all the time.  This  is  the
least,  WEE STRESS *LEAST*, risky form of Phreaking.  And remember.  There
are other Phreaks like you out there who have read this article and punch
payphones, so look before you punch, and save time.

                           weaknesses of the                              

                             human anatomy                              



                                Part I  

                      Strikes to the Head and Neck



This volume (and the ones to follow) concentrates on the 43 major pressure

points of the body. Of course, there are quite a few more, but these are the

basics. All of the points are classified into 2 catagories :



                Numerical                      Alphabetical



I  -brain/skull                         A-immobility from pain

II -sense organs                        B-immobility from structural or

III-life support, cardiorespiratory,      organic damage

    major organs & tracts               C-Unconsciousness from nerve or organic

IV -muscular functions & nerves           damage

V  -mechanical functions, skeletal,     D-death from physiological damage

    cartilages & joints



The ventral transverse plane consists of the face, the front, top, & sides of

the head, the neck, & the upper torso, including the collarbone. There are 15

pressure points in this area as follows:



1.  coronal suture  I-C

2.  trigeminal nerve & frontal bone  I-D

3.  temple & fossa temporalis  I-D

4.  eyes  II-B

5.  ears  II-B

6.  mastoid  II-A

7.  septal cartilage II-A or II-D

8.  anterior nasal spine  I-A

9.  temporomandibular joint  V-A

10. tip of mandible  I-C

11. sternocleidomastoid region  III-D

12. anterior neck region  III-D

13. brachial plexus & trapezius muscle  IV-C

14. suprasternal notch  III-D

15. clavicle  V-B



1:  This region lays on top of the head, more towards the forehead. It is also

    known as the soft spot on babies. It is the space between the skull bones

    that is covered with a membrane that close up usually by 18 months, but the

    coronal structure is still weaker than the rest of the skull. Directly

    beneath this is the sensory portion of the brain & under that the optic

    cavity. A downward strike of about 45 degrees depending on the force could

    cause concussion, temporary blindness, unconsciousness, brain hemorrhage,

    even death (very powerful blow).



2:  This region is located just below the centermost point of the forehead The

    nerve is on the outside of the skull thus when the bone is struck it will

    trap the nerve. This could result in jarring the cerebral hemispheres,

    concussion, unconsciousness, impaired vision, & paralysis. If and only if

    maximum impact is applied, death could result from brain hemorrhage.



3:  I'm sure wee all know where the temple is but for those of you that don't

    know it is located on a horizontal plane across from the top of the ear. It

    is the recessed part on each side of the head. It is actually the bone tip

    of the sphenoid. The trigeminal nerve runs through the the temple. This

    nerve controls several facial functions. Also passing through is the middle

    meningeal artery which is the largest branch suppling dura matter. A direct

    hit could break the tip off the sphenoid causing it to enter the brain. The

    meningeal could burst. Contact to the trigeminal could result in loss of

    control of facial functions. Compression of the brain, hemorrhage,

    concussion, shock, & death are likely results of striking the temple with a

    horizontal blow directed towards the opposite temple.



4:  The eyes are located...uh I think you know. The eyes are very sensitive

    even to the slightest touch. They are held in by fascia bulbi (a soft

    membrane) and eye muscles. This makes them easy to pop out. They are also

    very soft, and if a blow reached the vitreous body (center of eye) the

    eyeball would collapse. Other than causing temporary or permanent loss of

    sight a deep thrust could puncture the brain causing death.



5:  These are located on each side of the head. Air is easily trapped in the

    external acoustic meatus (the tunnel from the outer ear to the inner ear)

    and forced into the eardrum causing it to bust. This in turn ruptures the

    hammer or malleus within the middle ear. Damages would cause severe pain,

    loss of hearing, bleeding from the mouth and ear, and bleeding into the

    throat via the internal auditory tube. Also, the inner ear is the center of

    equilibrium (balance) for the cerebellum. a forceful strike could leave the

    victim sprawled on the ground with no balance! The blow should be delivered

    horizontally driving into the ear.



6:  The mastoid is located directly behind the earlobe. It is the recessed area

    where the skull meets the neck. It is filled with air pockets which are

    used to communicate with the middle ear. A thrust should not be used;

    rather apply pressure with a nuckle or thumbnail in an upward direction.

    Prolonged pressure could cause damage to the auditory system.



7:  Known more commonly as the nose the septal cartilage is the had substance

    that makes up the nose. Two strikes are used here for different measures

  

  II-A : a horizontal strike causing breakage of the septal cartilage

         and nasal bone which ruptures the angular vein producing a lot

         of blood along with great pain, however, not enough to stop

         some attackers

  II-D : an upward 45 degree strike forcing the septal cartilage through

         the internal nasal cavity and crista galli (a small bone formation

         between the nasal cavity & the brain) into the brain. Death

         would be instantaneous because of compression of the brain.



8:  This is located beneath the nose and above the lips. It is the area between

    the 2 lines running from the nose to upper lip. Many of the facial nerves

    run through this area. A direct hit would cause the sensory fibers to relay

    the shock to the pons, causing dizziness. A hit would also cause damage to

    the maxilla bone which holds the gums & teeth. This could cause extensive

    bleeding posibly scaring the victim about the blood loss. A straight blow

    in needed to achieve this aiming towards the back of the head.



9:  This is the joint that holds the jaw bone in place. It connects with the

    skull in front of the ear. The joint is really made up of 2 separate

    joints, thus dislocation can be unilateral or bilateral. With a 45 degree

    downward strike (preferably with the mouth open) will dislocate the

    mandible (jaw bone). An easier way to break the bone is to strike the joint

    itself or anywhere on the jaw bone really while the head is turned to one

    side or the other. This reduces the absorbtion of the blow by the neck.

    This method requires the least amount of force.



10: The madible is the jaw bone and of course the tip is located on the very

    end of the chin. Boxers use this point for a quick K.O. Hitting this area

    sends a shock snesor to the cerebellum causing unconsciousness. Hit this

    point with an upward blow.



11: This is the area at the frontal sides of the neck. The sternocleidomastoid

    muscles run from behind the ear down to the clavicle bones. Beneath these

    muscles lie the jugular vein and cartoid artery which supply blood to the

    heart & brain. This are is very sensitive. Try poking yourself there. A

    medium strike results in dizziness. A more forceful blow could blister,

    swell, collapse, or burst 1 or both of the blood lines. This could easily

    cause death because of lack of oxygen to the heart or brain. A strike

    should be done on an upsloping plane at 45 degrees on either side of the

    chin in the neck area.



12: Referred to as the windpipe or throat; is located in the center portion of

    the neck. This is a tubular passage running from the mouth to the stomach &

    lungs. When a straight on blow is delivered the thyroid cartilage (Adam's

    apple(the lump in your throat)) and the hyaline cartilage (hold the

    windpipe in a cylinder shape) are pushed through the larynx and/or trachea

    resulting in blood drowning or partial or complete obstruction of the vital

    air passages. The cartilages act as cutting devices.



13: The muscle is the one that runs from the base of the neck to the shoulder.

    It raises up on most people. The brachial plexus is a nerve center which

    supplies info about the shoulder & arm down to the wrist. It runs through

    the trapezius. Striking the trapezius  (from either front or back) with a

    downward 45 degree motion could paralyze the arm & shoulder temporarily.

    With a maximun blow unconsciousness & paralysis could be attained.



14: This lies between the collarbones; it connects them. A blow here could

    dislodge the collarbones from the sternum, collapsing the shoulders. But

    there are better targets behind the sternum. Such as the aorta, the

    superior vena cava (major blood lines to the brain), and the trachea all

    these pass directly behind the sternum. A forceful blow would follow these

    reactions : dislodge both clavicles from the sternum, the sternum would

    split, the 2 clavicles & sternum would be forced against or puncture the

    aorta and vena cava, the cartilages & bones would then be forced against or

    puncture the trachea. The strike should be delivered at a downward 45

    degree angle. The suprasternal notch is a MAJOR death target.



15: This is the bone on each side of the body that runs from the shoulder to

    the center of the chest. It supports the shoulder so breaking a clavicle

    (collarbone) would result in the collapse of the shoulder. It is possible

    for the broken bone to puncture a lung or possibly the heart or one of the

    things mentioned in #14. A simple break would immobilize the victim due to

    structural damage & pain. An inward & down motion should be used when

    attacking also at 45 degrees.





That concludes Part I. I hope you have learned from this lesson in human

anatomy. Please use this information wisely for I take no responsibilities in

the misuse of these facts. This was intended for informational purposes only.

That mean I don't really expect you to go out and beat the hell out of someone

(unless they need it!).







Today's valuable lesson is on the vulnerable spots of the human body. Typically

the human body is divided into three killing regions. The head and neck, the

trunk, and the limbs. Below is a listing of the most vulnerable parts in each

region.



Head and Neck           Trunk                 Limbs

-------------           -----                 -----

a. eyes                 a. groin              a. instep of foot

b. nose                 b. solar plexus       b. ankle

c. adam's apple         c. spine              c. knee

d. temple               d. kidney             d. shoulder

e. side of neck         e. collar bone        e. elbow

f. nape                 f. floating ribs      f. wrist

g. upper lip            g. stomach            g. fingers

h. ears                 h. armpit

i. base of throat

j. chin





All the spots above are extremely sensitive to killing blows. A word of caution

these spots should only be attacked if you are intent on doing serious bodily

damage. Hell! if your reading this then you want to fudge someone over anyway.

Also, when practicing blows to these areas with a training partner be sure to

strike lightly until you master the maneuvers.
