Phreak.ing – Internet Phone Switch

The incredible background effects with no JS enabled have me both pondering and accepting of this fantastic display.

It's just an animated webp. https://phreak.ing/static/bg.webp The correct amount of technology for an animated background. Very refreshing

Looks like the animated background image was sourced from: https://pislices.art/GIFS

+1 to that. I didn't even feel like doing anything I was just there flabbergasted by the background

		Same. I, for one, welcome our Phreaking overlords.- Bonus tip: If you dig the backgound (and, who would not), do yourself a favour and try the easter egg - see further downthread ...

I couldn’t get past the DTMF captcha. My device’s microphone didn’t listen to its own audio and I was lazy to get a second device.

Did anyone register? What happens after, do you get a sort of WebRTC P2P voice number? I like this UI/UX a lot but no idea what this is haha

I learned about phreaking picking up 2600 in Barnes & Noble‘s when I was a kid. Those were exciting times. Now everything is so damn boring.

Good memories. It was such a treat to have my parents drop me in a Barnes and Noble and pick up 2600, crawl into a comfy corner and spend a few hours reading what I only could only partially even grasp. Luckily there were so many other resources you could wander an aisle over to the comp sci section and access.

Abbie Hoffman and the Anarchists Cookbook were also a few shelves down, and yet here we are worried about kids on the internet, its harder now to come across these topics "accidentally" that it was in the library nerding out.

All the worlds info is now accessible theoretically, yet I feel it's somehow harder to discover anything novel than it was back then, especially for the young.

Seems like only yesterday I was checking payphones for dialtones. I learned about the phreak scene on bbs boards as a kid in the 80s. Still the definition of a hacker in my mind.

		Being the youngest of five, I had to fight for phone access so 2600 had a much higher bandwidth for me. :)

If it had CCITT5 tones with the KP tones and a few seize tone options I’d know it was made by a kindred spirit.

		I just made a line on the number "311" with a IVR you can throw into a trunk using 2600, then KP+Num+ST to dial Phreaknet numbers
