About a week ago, Phil T. & I finished and released our first video! Its called Citizen Engineer. We finally fixed a lingering audio codec problem and so I invite you to watch it.
Citizen Engineer is an online video series about OPEN source hardware,
electronics, art and hacking by Limor Ladyada Fried of Adafruit
Industries & Phillip pt Torrone of MAKE magazine. The first video
debuts at “The Last HOPE” conference in New York City.
Volume 01 - Phones: SIM card & payphone hacking
Learn how a SIM card works the small card inside GSM cell phones
make a SIM card reader, view deleted messages, phone book entries and
clone/crack a SIM card.
Modify a “retired” payphone so it can be used as a home telephone and
for VoIP Skype . Then learn how to modify the hacked payphone so it
accepts quarters - and lastly, use a Redbox to make “free phone” calls
from the modified coin-accepting payphone.
Basically its me messing around with electronics. I liked making these videos because I got to play around more than I normally do. Not having to design a ‘payphone kit’ means more time spent learning all about payphones. I’m already planning the next video :
Good video! Check it out...
