It should be possible to detect TAPI calls, so that at least you will have the windows boxes covered. Network spy, or any other process spy tool should do the trick. But if a modem is not connected, well, you will never see a TAPI call, unless the modem is activated by accident or some phone home software. If you can use a DMI tool, sou can actually see all the Plug & Play hardware installed. But many companies are not too keen on DMI, some consider it a security risc. And MS SMS can help you also. And many other hardware inventory tools. greetz, priet ----- Original Message ----- From: "Blair, Glenn" <glenn.blair () SCOTIABANK COM> To: <PEN-TEST () SECURITYFOCUS COM> Sent: Monday, November 20, 2000 8:15 PM Subject: [PEN-TEST] Modem detection without dialing
I am wondered if there is a product which can detect the existence of a
modem,
without the need for the modem to be connected ?. Specifically, in a LAN
environment,
can an administrator/pen tester identify a modem through the network, rather than through the telephone network. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Glenn Blair Sr. Security Specialist 888 Birchmount Rd 6th Floor tel. (416) 285-2498 fax (416) 288-5055 glenn.blair () scotiabank com
