Topic: Beige box


  
  Project Iceberg (v1) (UrbanMainframe.com)
Of course, it came in a beige box...
and not just any box, this computer seemed to be housed in the most boring, ugly case ever to blight the face of this planet.
I decided that my custom PC would be housed in a sexy, brushed aluminium case, about as far removed from the boring beige box as possible.

  Beige
This box allows a phreak to tap in to the phone line of another, to either place calls on their line or listen in on the calls of his victim.
Construction of a beige box is easy, once one has the proper parts: a telephone handset, a piece of phone cord (that fits the handset), and at least two small alligator clips.
The Beige Box is implemented by finding a target's phone line, and clipping your red and green wires to their red and green wires.

 Phreaking - UK Payphones, Free Calls,   (Site not responding. Last check: )
It's often a lot safer for the phreaker to use a phone box rather than a cab box as it is easier to find phone boxes in more quiet locations.
The phreaker can beige from the payphone quite easily without being detected if he uses a miniature beige box (see the Beige Design section) to connect, and closes the base panel.
If he uses thin enamelled wire to make the connection, it is virtually impossible for anyone to see the wire from outside the phone box, so the phreaker can pick up the payphone handset so it looks as if he is using the phone legitimately.

 The Vermilion Box
If you have used an Orange Box, or downloaded S.O.B. from www.artofhacking.com, then you know that its usefulness is limited by the fact that the signal cannot be sent to the target line until after they have answered the phone.
The technique is similar to that of Beige Boxing, in that you must find a physical access point to the target line and connect to it.
This could be done using the techniques of the Beige Box, which involves connecting to an external demarcation point with alligator clips, or using variations such as the Mega Box, which involves climbing telephone poles to reroute the line to a spare pair somewhere else.

The box I would use would be designed to listen for this tone with a PLL tone detector or something and when it hears it, would "activate" the box.
The Clear Box is basically an amplifier and an induction coil that lets you speak into a microphone, amplifies your voice, and feeds it into the coil, which then transfers the voice signal directly into the phone line by electromagnetic induction, bypassing the muted microphone.

 Beige box - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The early Apple Macintosh models were beige, although Apple switched to a similar color they called "platinum", users continued to refer to them as "beige".
In the early years of these companies, most of their units were beige as well, and the original implication in this usage was that it was just a beige box, with no brand label.
More recently, as name-brand manufacturers have moved away from beige (typically switching to fl, dark gray, and silver-colored cases), inexpensive generic cases (which have changed less dramatically) have become more distinct as "beige boxes".

 Article - Beige Box Blues // PC /// Eurogamer
But while shortsighted pundits will once again be amazed to discover in a few years time that the PC is still going strong, it has to be said that the beige box's continued survival as a gaming platform is frankly amazing given the sheer quantity of utter dross that arrives on our doormats every month.
PC developers on the other hand have to contend with half a dozen operating systems, several generations of graphics card and a bewildering array of drivers, soundcards and peripherals, all of which can reduce their beautifully written code to a nightmare of blue screens and illegal operation errors.
It seems that we are the ugly red-haired stepchildren of the gaming industry, ignored and beaten by the publishers and developers who foist off their left-overs on those of us still trying to play games on the big beige box.

 Guardian Unlimited Technology | Technology | The beige box is an icon
Your PC is a pretty sad kind of icon - typically beige (groovy Macs notwithstanding) and invariably ugly, it hides its charms from all but the section of the population born with a genetic sympathy for complicated tech.
That such an over-complicated, over-powered and over-priced box of tricks should continue to dominate the imagination of so many - geek and non-geek alike - even into the century of intelligent machines - is one of the more remarkable phenomena of the era.
It should, by now, have become a "thin client" or a terminal of some kind hooked up to the net and downloading its intelligence and usefulness as it goes.

 Wired News: Universe: Beige, not Turquoise
Two Johns Hopkins University astronomers said in January they had averaged all the colors from the light of 200,000 galaxies and concluded that if the human eye could see this combined hue, it would be a sprightly pale green.
The effect of the error was that the computer picked a nonstandard white from its electronic palette and mixed it with the other colors to come up with the turquoise.
When the error was corrected and replaced with a standard white index, beige was the result, Glazebrook said.

 Microsoft Xbox 360 (20GB) Reviews. Consoles Reviews by CNET.   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Yes, this is a console, with game controllers and A/V cables that are designed to interface with your TV--preferably of the HD variety--but Microsoft has essentially packed a high-end PC gaming rig into a relatively small box that fits into any A/V rack or cabinet.
Neither the original Xbox nor the 360 are terribly sexy, especially compared to the slimmed-down PlayStation 2, but at least the 360 is less boxy than the original, and you can always slap on a funky faceplate to liven things up.
One of the reasons Microsoft was able to keep down the 360's weight is that instead of building a standard, desktop-style hard drive into the unit itself, it's gone with a smaller--and more expensive--laptop-style hard drive that's detachable from the main unit.
