Exploring and having fun with rotary telephones


Personal blog/portfolio/site for Daniel Jones

It is just the culmination of my weekend researching.Turning to the internet to start researching the idea, I found creating a basic intercom between two analog phones is actually really easy. So I thought I'd take my shot at finding a way in.Using the tools provided by BigNerd95, I extracted the firmware my device was running and went hunting for some scripts or binaries to exploit. While I had one of my phones disassembled for modifications I thought it'd be a fun idea to see what I could do with the dial and handset.It's a little bit of a joke amongst my friend group that I have a terrible microphone.
