Making Plastic Explosives from Bleach
Potassium chlorate
is an extremely volatile explosive compound
and has been
used in the past as the main explosive filler in
grenades land mines and mortar rounds by such
countries as
France and Germany. Common household bleach contains a small
amount of potassium
chlorate which can be extracted by the
First off you must obtain:
[1] A heat source (hot plate stove
etc.)
[2] A hydrometer or battery hydrometer
[3] A large Pyrex or enameled steel container (to weigh chemicals)
[4] Potassium chloride (sold as a salt substitute at health and nutrition
stores)
Take one gallon
of bleach place it in the container and
begin
heating it. While this solution heats weigh out 63
grams of
potassium chloride
and add this to the bleach being heated.
Constantly check
the solution being heated with the hydrometer
and boil until
you get a reading of 1.3. If using a battery
hydrometer boil until you read a FULL charge.
Take the solution
and allow it to cool in a refrigerator until it
is between room
temperature and 0 degrees Celsius. Filter out the
crystals that
have formed and save them. Boil this solution again
and cool as before. Filter and save the crystals.
Take the crystals
that have been saved and mix them with
distilled water
in the following proportions: 56 grams per 100
milliliters distilled
water. Heat this solution until it boils
and allow to
cool. Filter the solution and save the crystals that
form upon cooling. This process of purification is called
"fractional crystallization". These crystals should be relatively

Now melt five parts Vaseline with five parts wax. Dissolve this
in white gasoline
(camp stove gasoline) and pour this liquid on
90 parts potassium
chlorate (the powdered crystals from above)
into a plastic
bowl. Knead this liquid into the potassium
chlorate until
intimately mixed. Allow all gasoline to evaporate.
Finally place this explosive into a cool dry
place. Avoid
friction sulfur sulfides and phosphorous compounds. This
explosive is
best molded to the desired shape and density of 1.3
grams in a cube
and dipped in wax until water proof. These block
type charges
guarantee the highest detonation velocity. Also
a
blasting cap
of at least a 3 grade must be used.
The presence
of the afore- mentioned compounds (sulfur sulfides
etc.) results
in mixtures that are or can become highly sensitive
and will possibly
decompose explosively while in storage. You
should never
store homemade explosives and you must use EXTREME
caution at all
times while performing the processes in this

Picking Master Locks
Have you ever
tried to impress someone by picking one of those
Master combination
locks and failed?
The Master lock
company made their older combination locks with a
protection scheme. If you pull the handle too hard the knob
will
not turn. That was their biggest mistake.
Get out any of
the Master locks so you know what is going on.
While pulling
on the clasp (part that springs open when you get
the combination
right) turn the knob to the left until it will
not move any
more and add five to the number you reach.
You now
have the first
number of the combination.
Spin the dial
around a couple of times then go to the first
number you got. Turn the dial to the right bypassing
the first
number once. When you have bypassed the first number start
pulling on the
clasp and turning the knob. The knob will
eventually fall
into the groove and lock. While in the groove
pull the clasp
and turn the knob. If the knob is loose
go to the
next groove if the knob is stiff you have the second
number of
After getting
the second number spin the dial then
enter the two
numbers. Slowly spin the dial to the right and
at each number
pull on the clasp. The lock will eventually open if you did the
This method of
opening Master locks only works on older models.
Someone informed
Master of their mistake and they employed a new
mechanism that
is foolproof (for now).
The Arts of Lockpicking I
Lockpicking I: Cars and assorted other locks
While the basic
themes of lockpicking and uninvited entry have not
changed much
in the last few years some modern devices and
techniques have
appeared on the scene.
Many older automobiles
can still be opened with a Slim Jim type of
opener (these
and other auto locksmithing techniques are covered
fully in the
book "In the Still of the Night" by John Russell
III); however many car manufacturers have built cases over the
lock mechanism or have moved the lock mechanism so the Slim Jim
American Locksmith
Service
ALS offers a
new and improved Slim Jim that is 30 inches long and
3/4 inches wide so it will both reach and slip through the new
car lock covers
(inside the door). Price is $5.75 plus $2.00
Cars manufactured
by General Motors have always been a bane to
people who needed
to open them because the sidebar locking unit
they employ is
very difficult to pick. To further complicate
matters the new GM cars employ metal shields to make the use of a
Slim Jim type
instrument very difficult. So:
Lock Technology
Corporation
LTC offers a
cute little tool which will easily remove the lock
cylinder without
harm to the vehicle and will allow you to enter
and/or start
the vehicle. The GMC-40 sells for $56.00 plus $2.00
for postage and
handling.
The best general
automobile opening kit is probably a set of
lockout tools
offered by:
For $29.95 one
can purchase a complete set of six carbon lockout
tools that will
open more than 95% of all the cars around.
Kwickset locks
have become quite popular as one step security
locks for many
types of buildings. They are a bit harder to pick
and offer a higher
degree of security than a normal builder
Price is $11.95. Kwickset locks can handily be disassembled and
the door opened
without harm to either the lock or the door by
using the above
mentioned Kwick Out tool.
If you are too
lazy to pick auto locks:
VS sells tryout
keys for most cars (tryout keys are used since
there is no one
master key for any one make of car but there are
group type masters
(a.k.a. tryout keys). Prices average about
For years there have been a number of pick attack procedures for
most pin and
tumbler lock systems. In reverse order of ease they
Normal Picking: Using a pick set to align the pins one
by one
until the shear line is set and the lock opens.
Racking: This method uses picks that are constructed with a
series
of bumps or diamond shape notches. These
picks
are
"raked" (i.e. run over all the pins at one time).
With
luck the pins will raise in the open position and
stay
there. Raking if successful can be much less of
an
effort than standard picking.
Lock Aid Gun: This gun shaped device was invented a number of
years ago and has found application with many
locksmiths and security personnel. Basically a
needle shaped pick is inserted in the snout of the
"gun" and the "trigger" is pulled.
This action
snaps the pick up and down strongly. If the tip is
slipped under the pins they will also be snapped
up and down strongly. With a bit of luck they will
strike each other and separate at the shear line
for a split second. When this happens the lock
will open. The lock aid gun is not 100%
successful but when it does work
the results are
very dramatic. You can sometimes open the lock
with one snap of the trigger.
Vibrator: Some crafty people have mounted a needle pick into an
electric toothbrush power unit. This vibrating effect
will sometimes open pin tumbler locks -- instantly.
There is now
another method to open pin and wafer locks in a very
short time. Although it resembles a toothbrush pick in
appearance it is actually an electronic device. I
am speaking of
the Cobra pick
that is designed and sold by:
The Cobra uses
two nine volt batteries teflon bearings (for less
noise) and a cam roller. It comes with three picks (for
different types
of locks) and works both in America and overseas
on pin or wafer
locks. The Cobra will open group one locks
(common door
locks) in three to seven seconds with no damage in
the hands of
an experienced locksmith. It can take a few seconds
more or up to
a half a minute for someone with no experience at
all. It will also open group two locks (including government
high security and medecos) although this can take a
short time
longer. It will not open GM sidear locks although
a device is
about to be introduced
to fill that gap. How much for this toy
that will open
most locks in seven seconds?
$235.00 plus
$4.00 shipping and handling.
For you hard
core safe crackers FC also sells the MI-6 that will
open most safes
at a cost of $10 000 for the three wheel attack
model and $10 500 for the four wheel model. It comes in a sturdy
aluminum carrying
case with monitor disk drive and software.
If none of these
safe and sane ideas appeal to you you can always
fall back on
the magic thermal lance...
The thermal lance
is a rather crude instrument constructed from
3/8 inch hollow
magnesium rods. Each tube comes in a 10 foot
length but can be cut down if desired. Each one is threaded on
one end. To use the lance you screw the tube together
with a
matted regulator
(like a welding outfit uses) and hook up an
oxygen tank. Then oxygen is turned on and the rod is lit with a
standard welding
ignitor. The device produces an incredible
amount of heat. It is used for cutting up concrete blocks or even
rocks. An active lance will go through a foot of steel in a few
seconds. The lance is also known as a burning bar and
is
The Arts of Lockpicking II
So you want to
be a criminal. Well if you want
to be like James
Bond and open
a lock in fifteen seconds then go to Hollywood
because that
is the only place you are ever going to do it. Even
experienced locksmiths
can spend five to ten minutes on a lock if
they are unlucky. If you are wanting extremely quick access look
elsewhere. The following instructions will pertain mostly to the
"lock in knob"
type lock since it is the easiest to pick.
First of all you need a pick set. If you know a locksmith get
him to make you
a set. This will be the best possible set for you
to use. If you find a locksmith unwilling to supply a set
don't
give up hope. It is possible to make your own if you
have access
to a grinder
(you can use a file but it takes forever).
The thing you
need is an allen wrench set (very small). These
should be small
enough to fit into the keyhole slot. Now
bend
the long end
of the allen wrench at a slight angle (not 90
degrees). Now take your pick to a grinder or a
file and smooth
the end until
it is rounded so it won't hang inside the lock.
Test your tool
out on doorknobs at your house to see if it will
slide in and
out smoothly. Now this is where
the screwdriver
comes in. It must be small enough for it and your pick to be used
in the same lock
at the same time one above the other. In
the
coming instructions please refer to this chart of the interior of
______________________________

(This is a greatly simplified
______________________________/
The object is
to press the pin up so that the space between the
upper pin and
the lower pin is level with the cylinder wall. Now
if you push a
pin up it's tendency is to fall back down
right?
That is where
the screwdriver comes in. Insert the screwdriver
into the slot
and turn. This tension will keep the "solved" pins
from falling
back down. Now work from the back
of the lock to
the front and when you are through there will be
a click the
screwdriver will
turn freely and the door will open.
Do not get discouraged
on your first try! It will probably take
you about twenty
to thirty minutes your first time. After that
you will quickly
improve with practice.
Solidox Bombs
Most people are
not aware that a volatile extremely explosive
chemical can
be bought over the counter: Solidox.
Solidox comes
in an aluminum can containing 6 grey sticks and can
be bought at
Kmart and various hardware supply shops for around
$7.00. Solidox is used in welding applications as an oxidizing
agent for the
hot flame needed to melt metal. The most active
ingredient in
Solidox is potassium chlorate a filler used in many
military applications
in the WWII era.
Since Solidox
is literally what the name says: SOLID OXygen
you
must have an
energy source for an explosion. The most common and
readily available
energy source is common household sugar or
sucrose. In theory glucose would be the purest
energy source
but it is hard
to find a solid supply of glucose.
[1] Open the can of Solidox and remove all 6 sticks. One by
one grind up each of the sticks (preferably
with a mortar
and pestle) into the finest powder possible.
[2] The ratio for mixing the sugar with the Solidox is 1:1 so
weigh the Solidox powder and grind up the
equivalent amount
[3] Mix equivalent amounts of Solidox powder and sugar in a 1:1
It is just that
simple! You now have an extremely powerful
substance that
can be used in a variety of applications. A word
of caution: be EXTREMELY careful in the entire process.
Avoid
friction heat and flame. A few years back a teenager I knew
blew 4 fingers
off while trying to make a pipe bomb with Solidox.
High Tech Revenge: The Beigebox
The beigebox
is simply a consumer lineman's handset which is a
phone that can
be attached to the outside of a person's house. To
fabricate a beigebox follow along.
Obtain an old
phone and cut off the plug on the end.
Solder an
alligator clip
onto the red wire and the green wire.
Now imagine the possibilities: a $2000 dollar phone bill for
that special
person 976 numbers galore even harassing
the
operator at no
risk to you! Think of it as walking into an
enemies house and using their phone to your heart's content.
Look on the outside
of your victim's house taking note of any
wires leading
from a telephone pole to the exterior of their
house. Follow the wires and find where they connect. The
telephone wire
should be black and about the width of your small
finger. You do NOT want the 220 volt house current unless
you
like having a
permanent orange afro.
When the telephone
wire connects to the victim's house it should
run down their
wall and into a small beige or grey box.
Some
boxes have a
bolt in the dead center and some have even gone as
far as to have
a lock (smashing them open is no problem). Now
you must open
the box and observe: you should
see three bolts
each with wires
attached. Connect the two alligator clips to the
two outside bolts and then you should get a dial tone. If
you
do not get a
dial tone experiment with the connections.
By the
way don't worry about getting electrocuted; there is not enough
power in the
phone lines to harm you.
After placing
a few phone calls if you really want to get even
pull all the
wires out of the box. This will result in about a
$100 dollar service
charge for your enemy.
How to make a CO2 bomb
You will have
to use up the cartridge first by either shooting it
or whatever.
With a nail force a hole bigger so as to allow the
powder and wick
to fit in easily. Fill the cartridge with black
powder and pack
it in there real good by tapping the bottom of the
cartridge on
a hard surface (I said TAP not SLAM!). Insert a fuse.
I recommend a
good water-proof cannon fuse or an m-80 type fuse
but firecracker
fuses work. Now light it and run
like hell! It
does wonders for a row of mailboxes (like the ones
in apartment
complexes) a car (place under the gas tank)
a
picture window
(place on window sill) a phone booth (place right
under the phone) or any other devious place. This thing throws
shrapnel and can make quit a mess!!
Thermite II... or A better way to make
Thermite
Thermite is nasty
shit. Here is a good and easy way to make it.
The first step
is to get some iron-oxide (which is RUST!). Here is
a good way to
make large quantities in a short time:
- Get a DC convertor
like the one used on a train set. Cut the
connector off separate the wires and strip them both.
- Now you need
a jar of water with a tablespoon or so of sodium
chloride (which
is SALT!) added to it. This makes the water
- Now insert
both wires into the mixture (I am assuming you
plugged the convertor
in...) and let them sit for five minutes.
One of them will
start bubbling more than the other. This is the
POSITIVE(+) wire.
If you do not do this test right the final
product will
be the opposite (chemically) of rust which is RUST
ACID. You have
no use for this here (although it IS useful!).
- Anyway put the nail tied to the positive wire into the jar. Now
put the negative
wire in the other end. Now let it sit overnight
and in the morning
scrape the rust off of the nail & repeat until
you got a bunch
of rust on the bottom of the glass. Be generous
with your rust
collection. If you are going through the trouble of
making thermite you might as well make a lot right?
- Now remove
the excess water and pour the crusty solution onto a
cookie sheet.
Dry it in the sun for a few hours or inside
overnight. It
should be an orange-brown color (although I have
seen it in many
different colors! Sometimes the color gets fucked
up what can I say... but it is still iron oxide!)
- Crush the rust
into a fine powder and heat it in a cast-iron pot
until it is red.
Now mix the pure iron oxide with pure aluminum
filings which
can be bought or filed down by hand from an aluminum
tube or bar.
The ratio or iron oxide to aluminum is 8 grams to 3
- Congrats! You
have just made THERMITE! Now to light it...
- Thermite requires
a LOT of heat (more than a blow torch!) to
ignite. However a magnesium ribbon (which is sorta hard to find..
call around)
will do the trick. It takes the heat from the
burning magnesium
to light the thermite.
- Now when you
see your victim's car pour a fifty-cent sized pile
onto his hood stick the ribbon in it and light the
ribbon with
the blow torch.
Now chuckle as you watch it burn through the hood
the block the axle and the pavement. BE CAREFUL!
The ideal
mixtures can
vaporize CARBON STEEL! Another idea is to use
thermite to get
into pay phone cash boxes. HAVE FUN!!
Touch Explosives
This is sort
of a mild explosive but it can be quite dangerous in
large quantities.
To make touch explosive (such as that found in a
snap-n-pop but more powerful) use this recipe:
- Mix iodine
crystals into ammonia until the iodine crystals will
not dissolve
into the ammonia anymore. Pour off the excess ammonia
and dry out the
crystals on a baking sheet the same way as you
dried the thermite
(in other words just let it sit overnight!).
- Be careful
now because these crystals are now your touch
explosive. Carefully
wrap a bunch in paper (I mean carefully!
Friction sets
'em off!) and throw them around.. pretty loud huh?
They are fun
to put on someone's chair. Add a small fish sinker to
them and they
can be thrown a long distance (good for crowds
football games concerts etc.) Have fun!
Letter Bombs
- You will first
have to make a mild version of thermite. Use my
recipe but substitute iron fillings for rust.
- Mix the iron
with aluminum fillings in a ratio of 75% aluminum
to 25% iron.
This mixture will burn violently in a closed space
(such as an envelope).
This bring us to our next ingredient...
- Go to the post
office and buy an insulated (padded) envelope.
You know the type that is double layered... Separate the layers
and place the
mild thermite in the main section where the letter
would go. Then
place magnesium powder in the outer layer. There is
- Now to light
it... this is the tricky part and hard to explain.
Just keep experimenting
until you get something that works. The
fuse is just
that touch explosive I have told you about in another
one of my anarchy
files. You might want to wrap it like a long
cigarette and
then place it at the top of the envelope in the
outer layer (on
top of the powdered magnesium). When the touch
explosive is
torn or even squeezed hard it will ignite the
powdered magnesium
(sort of a flash light) and then it will burn
the mild thermite.
If the thermite didn't blow up it would at
least burn the
fuck out of your enemy (it does wonders on human)
Paint Bombs
To make a paint
bomb you simply need a metal paint can with a
refastenable
lid a nice bright color paint (green pink purple
or some gross
color is perfect!) and a quantity of dry ice. Place
the paint in
the can and then drop the dry ice in. Quickly place
the top on and
then run like hell! With some testing you can time
this to a science.
It depends on the ratio of dry ice to paint to
the size of the
can to how full it is. If you are really pissed
off at someone you could place it on their doorstep knock
on the
door and then run!! Paint will fly all over the place HAHAHA!!
Ways to send a car to Hell
There are 1001
ways to destroy a car but I am going to cover only
the ones that
are the most fun (for you) the most destructive
(for them) and the hardest to trace (for the cops).
- Place thermite
on the hood light it and watch it
burn all the
way through the
pavement!
- Tape a CO2
bomb to the hood axel gas tank wheel muffler
- Put a tampon dirt sugar (this one is good!) a ping pong ball
or just about
anything that will dissolve in the gas tank.
- Put potatoes rocks banannas or anything that will fit into
the tailpipe.
Use a broom handle to stuff 'em up into the
- Put a long
rag into the gas tank and light it...
- Steal a key copy it replace it and then steal the stereo.
- Break into
the car. Cut a thin metal ruler into a shape like
Slide it into
the outside window and keep pulling it back up until
you catch the
lock cable which should unlock the door. This device
is also called
a SLIM JIM. Now get the stereo equalizer
radar
detector etc. Now destroy the inside. (A sharp knife does wonders
- One of my favorites
for getting out of a class or two is to call
in a bomb threat.
Tell 'em that it is in a locker. Then they have
to check them
all whilst you can slip away for an hour or two.
You can even
place a fake bomb (in any locker but YOURS!). They
might cancel
school for a week while they investigate (of course
you will probably
have to make it up in the summer...).
- Get some pure
potassium or pure sodium put it in a capsule
and
flush it down
the toilet (smells awful! Stinks up the whole school!).
- Use a smoke
grenade in the hallway.
- Steal the computer
passwords & keys. Or steal the 80 column cards
inside if they
are (gag) IBM.
- Make friends
with student assistants and have them change your
grades when the
teachers hand in their bubble sheets for the report
- Spit your gum
out on the carpet in the library or whatever and
grind it into
the carpet. Watch the janitors cry!
- Draw on lockers
or spraypaint on the building that the principal
- Stick a potato
in the tailpipe of the principal's car.
Phone related vandalism
If you live where
there are underground lines then you will be
able to ruin
someone's phone life very easily. All you must do is
go to their house
and find the green junction box that interfaces
their line (and
possibly some others in the neighborhood) with the
major lines.
These can be found just about anywhere but they are
usually underneath
the nearest phone pole. Take a socket wrench
and loosen the
nut on the right. Then just take clippers or a
sledge hammer
or a bomb and destroy the insides and pull up their
phone cable.
Now cut it into segments so it can't be fixed but
must be replaced
(There is a week's worth of work for 'em!!)
Highway radar jamming
Most drivers
wanting to make better time on the open road will
invest in one
of those expensive radar detectors. However this
device will not
work against a gun type radar unit in which the
radar signal
is not present until the cop has your car in his
sights and pulls
the trigger. Then it is TOO LATE for you to slow
down. A better
method is to continuously jam any signal with a
radar signal
of your own. I have tested this idea with the
cooperation of
a local cop and found that his unit reads random
numbers when
my car approached him. It is suprisingly easy to make
a low power radar
transmitter. A nifty little semiconductor called
a Gunn Diode
will generate microwaves when supplied with the 5 to
10 volt DC and
enclosed in the correct size cavity (resonater). An
8 to 3 terminal
regulator can be used to get this voltage from a
car's 12v system.
However the correct construction and tuning of
the cavity is
difficult without good microwave measurement
equipment. Police
radars commonly operate on the K band at 22 ghz.
Or more often
on the X band at 10.525 ghz. most microwave intruder
alarms and motion
detectors (mounted over automatic doors in
supermarkets
& banks etc.) contain a Gunn type
transmitter/receiver
combination that transmits about 10 kilowatts
at 10.525 ghz.
These units work perfectly as jammers. If you
cannot get one
locally write to Microwave Associates in
Burlington Massachusettes and ask them for info on 'Gunnplexers'
for ham radio
use. When you get the unit it may be mounted in a
plastic box on
the dash or in a weather-proff enclosure behind the
PLASTIC grille.
Switch on the power when on an open highway. The
unit will not
jam radar to the side or behind the car so don't go
speeding past
the radar trap. An interesting phenomena you will
notice is that
the drivers who are in front of you who are using
detectors will
hit their brakes as you approach large metal signs
and bridges.
Your signal is bouncing off of these objects and
triggering their
radar detectors! HAVE FUN!
P.S. If you are
interested in this sort of thing get a copy of
POPULAR COMMUNICATIONS.
The ads in there tell you where you can
get all kinds
of info on all kinds of neat equipment for all kinds
Smoke Bombs
Here is the recipe
for one helluva smoke bomb!
6 parts potassium
nitrate (Salt Peter)
Heat this mixture
over a LOW flame until it melts stirring well.
Pour it into
a future container and before it solidifies
imbed a
few matches into
the mixture to use as fuses. One pound of this
stuff will fill
up a whole block with thick white smoke!
Mail Box Bombs
(1) Two litre
bottle of chlorine (must contain sodium hypochlorate)
Mix all three
of these in equal amounts to fill about 1/10 of the
bottle. Screw
on the lid and place in a mailbox. It's hard to
believe that
such a small explosion will literally rip the mailbox
in half and send
it 20 feet into the air! Be careful doing this
though because if you are caught it is not up to the person
whose mailbox
you blew up to press charges. It is up to the city.
The easiest way to hotwire cars
Get in the car.
Look under the dash. If it enclosed forget it
unless you want
to cut through it. If you do do it near the
ignition. Once
you get behind or near the ignition look for two
red wires. In
older cars red was the standard color if not
look
for two matched
pairs. When you find them cross them and take

How to make a fertilizer bomb
- Fertilizer
(the chemical kind GREEN THUMB or ORCHO)
Make a pouch
out of the newspaper and put some fertilizer in it.
Then put cotton
on top. Soak the cotton with fuel. Then light and
run like you
have never ran before! This blows up 500 square feet
so don't do it
in an alley!!
Tennis Ball Bombs
- Strike anywhere
matches
Break a ton of
matchheads off. Then cut a SMALL hole in the tennis
ball. Stuff all
of the matchheads into the ball until you can't
fit any more
in. Then tape over it with duct tape. Make sure it is
real nice and
tight! Then when you see a geek walking down the
street give it a good throw. He will have a blast!!
Diskette Bombs
- White or blue kitchen matches (they MUST be these colors!)
- Carefully open
up the diskette (3.5" disks are best for this!)
- Remove the
cotton covering from the inside.
- Scrape a lot
of match powder into a bowl (use a wooden scraper
metal might spark
the matchpowder!)
- After you have
a lot spread it evenly on the disk.
- Using the nail
polish spread it over the match mixture
- Carefully put
the diskette back together and use the nail polish
to seal it shut
on the inside (where it came apart).
- When that disk
is in a drive the drive head attempts to read
the disk which causes a small fire (ENOUGH HEAT TO MELT THE DISK
DRIVE AND FUCK
THE HEAD UP!!). ahahahahaha! Let the fuckhead try
Unlisted Phone Numbers
There are a couple
of different ways of doing this. Let's see if
this one will
help: Every city has one or more offices dedicated
to assigning
numbers to the telephone wire pairs. These offices
are called DPAC
offices and are available to service reps who are
installing or
repairing phones. To get the DPAC number a service
rep would call
the customer service number for billing information
in the town that
the number is located in that he is trying to get
the unlisted
number of. (Got that?) The conversation would go
something like
this: "Hi Amarillo this is Joe from
Anytown
business office I need the DPAC number for the south side of
town." This info
is usually passed out with no problems so... if
the first person
you call doesn't have it try another. REMEMBER
no one has ANY
IDEA who the hell you are when you are talking on
the phone so you can be anyone you damn well please! (heheheheh!)
When you call
the DPAC number just tell them that you need a
listing for either
the address that you have or the name. DPAC
DOES NOT SHOW
WHETHER THE NUMBER IS LISTED OR UNLISTED!! Also if
you're going
to make a habit of chasing numbers down you might
want to check
into geting a criss-cross directory which lists
phone numbers
by their addresses. It costs a couple-a-hundred bux
but it is well
worth it if you have to chase more than one or two
Fuses
You would be
surprised how many files are out there that use what
falls under the
category of a "fuse." They assume that you just
have a few lying
around or know where to get them. Well
in some
parts of the
country fuses are extremely hard to come by... so
this file tells
you how to make your own. Both fuses presented
here are fairly
simple to make and are fairly reliable.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(approx. 2 inches per minute)
- Cotton string or 3 shoelaces
- Potassium Nitrate or Potassium Chlorate
- Wash the cotton string or showlaces in HOT soapy water then
- Mix the following together in a glass bowl:
1 part potassium nitrate or potassium chlorate
- Soak strings or shoelaces in this solution
- Twist/braid 3 strands together and allow them to dry
- Check the burn rate to see how long it actually takes!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(40 inches per minute)
-fine black powder (empty a few shotgun shells!)
- moisten powder to form a paste
- twist/braid 3 strands of cotton together
- rub paste into string and allow to dry
How to make Potassium Nitrate
Potassium Nitrate
is an ingredient in making fuses among other
things. Here
is how you make it:
-3.5 gallons of nitrate bearing earth or other material
-Bucket or other similar container about 4-5 gallons in volume
-2 pieces of finely woven cloth each a bit bigger than the
-Shallow dish or pan at least as large in diameter as the bucket
-Shallow heat resistant container
-Something to punch holes in the bottom of the bucket
-1 gallon of any type of alcohol
- Punch holes on the inside bottom of the bucket so that the
metal is"puckered"
outward from the bottom
- Spread cloth over the holes from the bottom
- Place wood ashes on the cloth. Spread it out so that it covers
the entire cloth
and has about the same thickness.
- Place 2nd cloth on top of the wood ashes
- Place the dirt or other material in the bucket
- Place the bucket over the shallow container. NOTE: It may need
support on the
bottom so that the holes on the bottom are not
- Boil water and pour it over the earth very slowly. Do NOT pour
it all at once as this will clog the filter on the bottom.
- Allow water to run through holes into the shallow dish on the
- Be sure that the water goes through ALL of the earth!
- Allow water in dish to cool for an hour or so
- Carefully drain the liquid in the dish away and discard the
- Boil this liquid over a fire for at least two hours. Small
grains of salt
will form - scoop these out with the paper as they
- When the liquid has boiled down to 1/2 its original volume let
- After 1/2 hour add equal volume of the alcohol; when this
mixture is poured
through paper small white crystals appear. This
is the posassium
nitrate.
- Redissolve crystals in small amount of boiling water
- Remove any crystals that appear
- Pour through improvised filter then heat concentrated solution
- Spread out crystals and allow to dry
Exploding lightbulbs
-blackpowder! (open some shotgun shells!)
-1/4 cup kerosene or gasoline
-lighter or small blowtorch
Procedure for
a simple exploding lightbulb:
- Drill a small hole in the top of the bulb near the threads!
- Carefully pour the blackpowder into the hole. Use enough so
that it touches
the filament!
- Insert into socket as normal (make sure the light is off or
else YOU will
be the victim!!)
Procedure for
a Napam Bulb:
- Heat kerosene/gasoline in a double boiler
- Melt soap chips stirring slowly.
- Put somewhere and allow to cool
- Heat the threads of the bulb VERY carefully to melt the glue.
Remove threads slowly drawing out the filament. Do NOT break the
cheap electrical
igniters and/or the filament or this won't work!!
- Pour the liquid into the bulb and slowly lower the filament
back down into
the bulb. Make sure the filament is dipped into the
- Re-glue the threads back on. Insert it into a socket frequently
used by the victim
and get the hell out!!
When the victim
flips the switch he will be in for a BIG surprise!
Under water igniters
-Pack of 10 silicon diodes (available at Radio Shack. you will
know you got the right ones if they are very very small glass
- Light the candle and allow a pool of molten wax to form in the
- Take a single match and hold the glass part of a single diode
against the head.
Bend the diode pins around the matchhead so that
one wraps in
an upward direction and thensticks out to the side.
Do the same with
the other wire but in a downward direction. The
diodes should
now be hugging the matchhead but its wires MUST NOT
- Dip the matchhead in wax to give it a water-proof coat. These
- repeat to make as many as you want
When these little
dudes are hooked across a 6v battery the diode
reaches what
is called breakdown voltage. When most electrical
components reach
this voltage they usually produce great amounts
of heat and light while quickly melting into a little blob. This
heat is enough
to ignite a matchhead. These are recommended for
use underwater where most other igniters refuse to work. ENJOY!
Home-brew blast cannon
-1 plastic drain pipe 3 feet long at least 3 1/2 inches in
-1 smaller plastic pipe about 6 inches long 2 inches in
-1 large lighter with fluid refills (this gobbles it up!)
-1 pipe cap to fit the large pipe 1 pipe cap to fit the small
-16v polaroid pot-a-pulse battery
-15v relay (get this at Radio Shack)
- Cut the bell wire into three equal pieces and strip the ends
- Cut a hole in the side of the large pipe the same diameter
as
the small pipe.
Thread the hole and one end of the small pipe.
they should screw
together easily.
- Take a piece of scrap metal and bend it into an "L" shape
then attach it
to the level on the lighter:
/------------------------gas switch is here
!lighter!!<---metal
lever
Now every time you pull the 'trigger' gas should flow freely from
the lighter.
You may need to enlarge the 'gas port' on your
lighter if you wish to be able to fire more rapidly.
- Connect two wires to the two posts on the switch
- Cut two holes in the side of the smaller tube one for the
switch on the
bottom and one for the metal piece on the top.
Then mount the switch in the bottom running the wires up and out
- Mount the lighter/trigger in the top. Now the switch should
rock easily and the trigger should cause the lighter to pour out
gas. Re-screw
the smaller tube into the larger one hold down the
trigger a bit let it go and throw a match in there.
If all goes
well you should hear a nice big 'THUD!'
- Get a hold of the relay and take off the top.
2--------------/<--- the center object is the metal finger inside
Connect (1) to
one of the wires coming from the switch. Connect
(2) to (4) and connect (5) to one side of the battery. Connect
the remaining
wire from the switch to the other side of the
battery. Now
you should be able to get the relay to make a little
'buzzing' sound
when you flip the switch and you should see some
- Now carefully mount the relay on the inside of the large
pipe
towards the back.
Screw on the smaller pipe tape the battery to
the side of the
cannon barrel (yes but looks aren't everything!)
- You should now be able to let a little gas into the barrel and
set it off by
flipping the switch.
- Put the cap on the back end of the large pipe VERY SECURELY.
You are now ready
for the first trial-run!
Put something
very very large into the barrel just
so that it
fits 'just right'.
Now find a strong guy (the recoil will
probably knock
you on your ass if you aren't careful!). Put on a
shoulderpad earmuffs and possibly some other protective
clothing
(trust the BHU!
You are going to need it!). Hold the
trigger down
for 30 seconds hold on tight and
hit the switch.
With luck and
the proper adjustments you should be able to put a
frozed orange
through 1/4 or plywood at 25 feet.

Phone Taps
Here is some
info on phone taps. In this file is a schematic for a
simple wiretap
& instructions for hooking up a small tape recorder
control relay
to the phone line.
First I will discuss taps a little. There are many different
types of taps.
there are transmitters wired taps and
induction
taps to name
a few. Wired and wireless transmitters must be
physically connected
to the line before they will do any good.
Once a wireless
tap is connected to the line it can transmit all
conversations
over a limited reception range. The phones in the
house can even
be modifies to pick up conversations in the room
and transmit
them too! These taps are usually powered off of the
phone line but can have an external power source. You can get more
information on
these taps by getting an issue of Popular
Communications
and reading through the ads. Wired taps on the
other hand need no power source but a wire must
be run from the
line to the listener
or to a transmitter. There are obvious
advantages of
wireless taps over wired ones. There is one type of
wireless tap
that looks like a normal telephone mike. All you have
to do is replace
the original mike with thisand itwill transmit
all conversations!
There is also an exotic type of wired tap known
as the 'Infinity
Transmitter' or 'Harmonica Bug'. In order to hook
one of these it must be installed inside the phone. When someone
calls the tapped
phone & *before* it rings blows a whistle over
the line the transmitter picks up the phone via a relay. The mike
on the phone
is activated so that the caller can hear all of the
conversations
in the room. There is a sweep tone test at
415/BUG-1111
which can be used to detect one of these taps. If one
of these is on
your line & the test # sends the correct tone you
will hear a click.
Induction taps have one big advantage over taps
that must be
physically wired to the phone. They do not have to be
touching the
phone in order to pick up the conversation. They work
on the same principle
as the little suction-cup tape recorder
mikes that you
can get at Radio Shack. Induction mikes can be
hooked up to
a transmitter or be wired.
Here is an example
of industrial espionage using the phone:
A salesman walks
into an office & makes a phone call. He fakes
the conversation but when he hangs up he slips some foam rubber
cubes into the
cradle. The called party can still hear all
conversations
in the room. When someone picks up the phone the
cubes fall away
unnoticed.
A tap can also
be used on a phone to overhear what your modem is
doing when you
are wardialing hacking or just plain
calling a
bbs (like the
White Ruins! Denver Colorado! 55 megs online!
Atari! Macintosh!
Amiga! Ibm! CALL IT! 303-972-8566! By the way i
did this ad without
the sysops consent or knowledge!).
