Here is the (brief) history of the legendary Captain Crunch in his own words …
So, lets go back to the year 1972, when I got a phone call from Denny, a blind kid who turned me onto a toy whistle he got out of a Cap’n Crunch cereal box.With this whistle, it was possible to access the internal trunking mechanism of Ma Bell.
In conjunction with a blue box (A special tone generating device), it was possible to take internal control of Ma Bell’s long distance switching equipment.

Workplace smoking bans may be good for workers’ health, but could open the back door to hackers.
In a recent social engineering test undertaken by UK-based security consultancy NTA Monitor, a tester was able to easily gain access to a corporate building through a back door that was left open for smokers. Once inside, the penetration tester was able to easily bluff his way into a meeting room, claiming the IT department had sent him. Even without a pass, he gained access unchallenged and was then able to connect his laptop to the firm’s VoIP network via a telephone connection point.
