Wardialing: Practical Advice to Understand Your Exposure
Overview "Wardialing" is the automated process hackers use to find computers accessible via telephone lines. It is one of the earliest and remains one of the most pervasive forms of electronic intrusion, predating Internet-based attacks. Unfortunately, most organizations have never adequately protected themselves from this simple form of penetration. The reality is that anyone with a $1,000 PC using freely available wardialer software is capable of exploiting your organization with just a phone call. This white paper explores the tools and a technique commonly used by hackers, identifies ways to recognize the signatures such tools leave behind, and recommends practical measures which can taken to reduce the exposure from wardialing attack.
