"Hacking" an elevator?

quote:
"The designers of some elevators include a hidden feature that is very handy if you're in a hurry or it's a busy time in the building (like check-out time in a hotel). While some elevators require a key, others can be put into "Express" mode by pressing the "Door Close" and "Floor" buttons at the same time. This sweeps the car to the floor of your choice and avoids stops at any other floor, overriding all the others selections."

Elevators that have been tested and worked on:
Otis Elevators (All But The Ones Made In 1992),
Dover (Model Numbers: EL546 And ELOD862),
And Most Desert Elevators(All, But Model Numbers ELD5433 And ELF3655)

I'll have to try this out, especially when I'm on vacation or in the city.

Anyone ever try this? Any success stories?

One of two ways:

1) Get a few friends to stay at random floors and then ask them to press the elevator call button,

or

2) While there are people who already have to go, and have pressed the button, to a certain floor on the elevator when you entered.

Posted by Sunsnail on Aug-02-2005 18:10:

Easy.

Go to first floor
wait for elevator
as you go in elevator, get a friend on the 2nd floor to press the button
press door open and third floor.

I have an Otis elevator this is so happening in a few hours when i go out .

Posted by robin on Aug-02-2005 19:31:

mayby it would work if you'd get in at the first floor (example) and use that expres thingy to floor lets say 5, after you've done that you press 3 aswell. Would it go to 5 straight away?

Would be great in really big buildings you get in at 20, tons of ppl in there going all over the place, you hit expres to 1st floor and all the ppl will just have to wait.

*and hopefully have no idea you pulled some trick *

Phreaking. I built a Beige Box once, which simulates a phone company technician's phone that would be used while working on repairs or the like, and was also a beige color. Open the phone box on the side of any house and bam, free calls. It's sitting in its corner collecting dust now, though. I still want to build a Red Box.

Posted by Floorfiller on Aug-02-2005 20:00:

well...some of that is a little too crazy for me hahaha. maybe i'll try and get a free drink or candybar haha

Posted by Floorfiller on Aug-02-2005 20:11:

sounds kinda dangerous playing with power boxes and the like. i'd probably electricute myself hahaha...you 1337 hax0rz are too much

red box's no longer work, ancient history, I used to read 2600 a lot in high school, a biege box is basically just a regular phone with the red/green connections in most cords sodered with aligator clips. The days of hacking a payphone a pretty much dead, If anyone has data on that I would be curious if any new tricks are out there.

I have a decent clue about phone systems, I am a line technichian with the phone company....I don't work directly with coin systems though

in case any's wondering

Redbox - There isnt really THAT much to explain (and I wont be telling how to build one right here simply because I dont feel like writing that long of a article with diagrams, etc...) So what is it, you ask!? Basicaly, its a device that generates a certain frequency sound which is the same one as a certain coin dropping in the phone (this doesnt always work anymore but still does in some or in fact..quit a bit of places still) so this therefore gives you free fone call! Amazing?
--------------------------------------
blue box - This is the first Phreak box and started from a person called Captain Crunch. A little history here now. Captain Crunch (his real name was John Draper btw) found that the
whistles in the Captain Crunch cereal made a nearly perfect 2600hz tone..which he somehow found out was the same tone that Bell used to signal that the line is closed on their network..this lead to him making free calls and other types of manipulation to the fone lines..

dont know how to make them tho...

my telecommunications teacher in uni worked for the phone company for about 30 years and told us all about the different devices that could have been used back in the day. however, he said that the phone company added safeguards after the captain crunch incident. most of those devices dont work anymore because they use a different method for validating the sounds. appearently steve jobs was using the devices and came out publicly about it after they were granted amnesty. i think they called themselves the phone phreaks or something like that.

What you do is take a portable generator, like a little gas one or something right.

Go find one of those big phone exchange boxes (they are green around here, about 2 feet tall), pry the sucker open, take the leads and place them on the outgoing phone lines and switch the generator on.

Everyphone in the area will start ringing off the hook since its just throwing voltage out across the lines with no direction.

Course this is all for educational purposes and I don't condone this in any way shape or form.

6V motorcycle batteris work best for this

not like i know anyhting about that sorta thing though. .

Posted by enferno on Aug-03-2005 02:24:

and with beige and red boxes . . wtf is the point you spend more money on raw materials than you would save making free calls.

i mean, look at how cheap cell phones and land lines are.
i spend like 4 cents a minute on my home land line . . why the fook would i need a beige box?

Haha. I think I spent $2 on my Beige Box. I found an old phone lying around the house, stripped the wires down with a razor blade that I found in the tool box, and spent $2 on alligator clips. I built it just for the hell of it, because I wanted to have some fun.

Also as alot of hentai and ecchi manga have shown me, this is also a great place for random sex...

I am the master of elevator ass disaster.

One time, this lady started bitching at her little kid because she thought he'd shat himself. In fact, it was me being a prick and giving them a dose of digested chicken salad.
