    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

      +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.

      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

    It's asking me to play tones into the mic... Sorry no dtmf handy lol What is going on here?
    • sva_ 4 hours ago
      Just open the website on your phone to emit the tones

        That's how I did it and it didn't do anything said invalid or something.
