Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Look up Kevin Mitnick, he hacked Pacific Bell calls with a fucking whistle that came in a Captain Crunch box. He actually did some Fed time and is now a security consultant. I met him at the RSA conference in San Francisco a couple years back, his business card was a lockpick set, pretty baller.

EDIT: Correction, that was John Draper with the Captain Crunch whistle. Kevin Mitnick used social engineering to get into Pac Bells stuff and supposedly copy their software.

 

Fkn’ Nerd!

 

Yeah, that's the guy.

....Mitnick served five years in prison—four and a half years pre-trial and eight months in solitary confinement—because, according to Mitnick, law enforcement officials convinced a judge that he had the ability to "start a nuclear war by whistling into a pay phone",[21] meaning that law enforcement told the judge that he could somehow dial into the NORAD modem via a payphone from prison and communicate with the modem by whistling to launch nuclear missiles

 

damn i just spent <$4 and used some 1/4" carriage bolts + washers + wing nuts and a cable lock i already had on my prinsu.

 

Tires sold

 

also debated on seeing what i can come up with like you did.

already have to go to ACE for the RTT mount bolts

 

I did make one upgrade, I swapped out the wing nuts for these

DimcoGray Black Phenolic 4 Prong Knob Female, Thru Hole Brass Insert: 1/4-20" Thread x 1/2" Depth, 1-1/4" Diameter x 7/8" Height x 5/8" Hub Dia x 3/8 Hub Length (Pack of 10)

I need to use a slightly shorter carriage bolt so its less effort taking off the knobs.

 

1/4"-20 threaded rod coupling nuts just fit through the mount holes in the TREDs. I use those to keep a stack of 4 TREDs in position on a bed crossbar, then two ratchet straps around the whole mess.

 

For anyone who's interested since I had a few posts about it. Bled my brakes 2 more times. Feel fanfuckintastic now.

 

Im somewhat familiar with this, they mentioned it in a book I read a couple months back.

^ I bought a whole bunch of these on Rob's recommendation, LMK if you want to give em a try Sam I can float 4 your way .

 

Are they better than wing nuts? I saw @CrashN'Burn seriously struggle with his in a snowstorm this past winter. I used small ratchet straps and had my tread deployed in minutes.

 

What? I thought you had wingnuts. It was those?

 

Nah I swapped them out after that trip

 

So, you like this TRED version?

 

When you saw me struggling I was using these:


I've since switched to these, which are great:

No idea how the TRED things work..
