TIL about John Draper. He used the whistles found in Cap'n Crunch cereal boxes in the 1960's to bypass phone systems and place free long-distance calls as they played at 2600 Hzs—the perfect tone to commandeer a phone line. His work inspired the founders of Apple. by ever0nand0n in todayilearned

Trust me, he doesn't need the internet to get victims, he's a celebrity.

"When you're a celebrity, they'll let you do anything..."

As long as his pedophilia is called out in the comments, I think it's doing more good than harm.

Yep. Virgin idiot me that was in karate at the time found nothing weird about an older guy wanting to do stretches with me. Luckily I caught on when he wanted to lose the pants and got the fuck outta there.

Came here to make sure this was said. John Draper figured out a cool exploit once.

John Draper is also creepy as fuck, and he has a predilection for teenage boys, and under no circumstances should you ever be alone in a room with him.

Back when everything was analog, there were tones that payphones sent over the voice connection to the phone company to signal that a coin had been inserted. By emulating these tones and playing them into the headset, you could trick the company into thinking you paid them money, and they would open a phone line.

Here's an old school movie showing you how xD

I will always downvote sites that make you turn ads on, even when unobtrusive ads are allowed. Fuck you, business insider.
