    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 ...

    Not sure what I just registered for but hope it's cool

    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

    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?

      Just open the website on your phone to emit the tones

    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. :)
