The first device designed to hack long-distance phones was the "blue box," which emerged in the 1960s. Developed by phone phreaks, including notable figures like John Draper, the blue box exploited the analog telephone system by generating specific tones to manipulate the phone network, allowing users to make free long-distance calls. This technique relied on the in-band signaling used by the telephone system before the transition to digital technologies.
