      I genuinely can’t tell if you and the person you responded to are doing a bit and committing to it, or are genuinely referring to:

      Phreakers

      Making weird modem noises to hack phones will always be the funniest 90’s hacker thing I’ve ever heard.

          I was a 90’s kid. Making weird noises in the phone was magic to me.

            I know a lot of people get weird about it, but the Anarchist’s Cookbook had TONS of info on phreaking and exploiting telephone systems. It wasn’t just about how to make napalm and tennis ball bombs (but that shit was hella fun, too).
