Phreaking means h@x0ring fonez, you know, those old things your parents use to talk to other old people. Phreaks were hackers, before there were hackers.

OMG LEET PHREAK

Back in the 1960s, some blind kid named JoyBubbles learned that when he farted at just the right frequency, the fone system shat itself, allowing full control and shit. This opened up a ton of possibilities, allowing people to make free calls by phucking with fonez.

The magical frequency was 2,600hz. Phreakz soon built blue cages that contained midgets that could fart at exactly 2,600hz, giving rise to the name blue box.

Phreaking was common among the 1980s basement anarchists, hackers, MIT students and generally retarded people. Textfiles were the main form of communication for phreaks, which is quite ironic considering how THEY HAD PHREE PHUCKING PHONE SERVICE.

OMG MOAR COLORS

Once the whole free calls at home thing got old, phreaks decided to phuck up payfones aswell. Someone discovered that nigger midgets could fart the tone thats produced by inserting a quarter into a payfone, so they put them in a smaller red cage and called it red-boxing.

Then some phreak built a box with a gay midget inside, hooked up to a generator. The Phreak then hooked the box up to the phone system, and put a picture of Prince in the box. The midget then fapped, feeding enough electricity into the phone to give Ma Bell menstrual cramps. This was called the rainbow box. LOL

And some phreak built some other fucking box, using the 1337hz tone.

DUR Engineers = Winnar

After atleast 100 years of phreaks in her proverbial vajayjay, Ma Bell finally douched. This involved having engineers dream up some way to screw over all the phreakz. They settled on installing T1 lines, which use signals that midget flatus cannot reproduce, ending most phreaking.

Phreaks then began hacking computers, becoming full time fappers or becoming level five Basement Dwellers.
