A
tone generator
used to
generate
tones
(duh) at 2600 hz.
Back in the day
, these tones could be used to manipulate
phone trunk
s in order to get
free
phone calls
. This tone generator is often called a
blue box
and is one of the
color boxes
used by
phreaker
s (although its very unlikely that it will do anything nowadays).

One of the most
famous
devices used to generate this tone was a small plastic whistle that could be found in boxes of
Captain Crunch
. This whistle is one of the most desirable peices of hardware for any
phreak
to own.
