war dialing... Help me out here
« on: February 07, 2009, 01:56:29 PM »
Ok I read so guides on war dialing and I went and did some war dialing. Now I have a crap load of numbers and Im hoping some one here can tell what the fuck to do with them like how to I find out if its a modem or a fax machine or something else In one of the guides they were talking about terminal applications or something but wtf is that and where do I get one?

And completely unrelated to what was just said how do I play touch tones into my phone and have it dial the number???? ive tried holding one phone up to another when dialing but the other phone will not get the numbers

This used to happens to me all the time. Fuzzymango, you need to amplify the signal. A 20 watt megaphone works best.

1.  If you don't know what Hyperterminal or PuTTY is, then you shouldn't be Wardialing.
2.  If you don't know what a PPP session is, then you shouldn't be Wardialing.
3.  If you don't know what a cactus is, then you shouldn't be Wardialing.
4.  If you don't know the difference between 2400-8-N-1 and 9600-7-N-1 is, then you shouldn't be Wardialing.
5.  The difference between a fax and modem:  when you hear a fax, it makes a very specific noise and will repeat it on the line.  When you hear a modem, it won't make that very specific noise or repeat it multiple times.

When war dialing/ attempting to connect to remote devices is it pretty much a no go to use a winmodem? Or is that only for some systems/programs and generally a winmodem is ok? Are there an good modern guides to this sort of thing I know that hbx used to have the weekly wardial, which they subsequently got in trouble for. Is it worthless to wardial unless you're auditing your own companies systems?

I've always been curious about it but not enough so to do some serious digging so spoon feed me. ;)

I'm really not too sure, actually.  I've been wanting to know this myself.  From what I have heard, it is almost equivalent to port-scanning, but not nearly as bad.  I think your telco would send you a letter telling you to stop dialing random numbers if they really didn't like it.  It's best to randomize out the numbers rather than do 0001, 0002, 0003...etc because then you can just make some shit up like you're a business and you're just calling other clients or something.

I've wardialed quite a bit (to find recordings for The Web Page You Have Reached / This Is a Recording) sequentially from home by hand (Uphill, in the snow, both ways.) and Ameritech never complained. Very rarely did anyone ever call me back as a result of my wardialing. Telling the nosy nelly I dialed a wrong number would make them go away. I do, however, think the wardialing was the cause of the Miss Cleo robocalls I received about once a week for a month, though. (I made a recording of the call return for TWPYHR/TIAR informing me the last number that called my line was 000-000-0000) So, you might not want to wardial from home because you might not want to broadcast your phone number to people who may use it unscrupulously.

I got calls from someone selling timeshares for a couple weeks one time, from wardialing. Also I would sometimes find a couple of weird collect call charges from 800 numbers for like 10 cents each. That might've been my computer picking up a callback accidentally, though.

What do I do with the numbers? Oh god.

Crack VMBs, Own the system admin password. Dial into modems. Social engineer. Set up call fowarding on a box and make calls to Bulgaria or whatever.

Also, I'm pretty sure WarVox tells you if it's a modem or fax machine. http://www.warvox.org/

A decent wardialer for skype is needed. I would wardial daily if I had one. I bet other people would as well.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/skypediver/ -- This isn't too shabby.

Skype has these new rules about "unlimited use" plans where you can't make outgoing pstn calls to more than 50 unique numbers per day. That'd hamper the wardialing a bit, I think
