C tone MP3 to stop wiretaps

Stop wire taps with the C tone DTMF

I read this article on hacking phone wiretaps and made an MP3 of the C tone, a 852 Hz/1633 Hz hidden DTMF. Play this tone into the receiver and disable a wiretap on your phone line.

Matt Blaze's original article on the C tone is a good place to start. His more detailed paper about the C tone is another good resource.

My phone isn't tapped and if it is, whoever's doing it is wasting their time. Therefore I have no reason to use the C tone myself. It's here just like the infamous mosquito ringtone and the Cap'n Crunch whistle's 2600 Hz tone. I like making sounds.

Is your cell phone being used as a bug without you knowing it?

File this all under phone phreaking.
