RE: detecting wardialing

Zac,

Have a look at (http://www.nta-monitor.com/war-dialling/index.htm),
which recommends a PBX Firewall (http://www.securelogix.com/telewall/) ,
or PBX Logging and alerting.  I would also check with your PBX vendor to
determine whether they have additional software to accomplish your goal.

Subject: detecting wardialing


Is anyone aware of a PBX or software that can detect wardialing
attempts? I'm thinking of something that detects fax or modem tones in a
series of calls within a certain window of time. I understand the phone
company does some detection of this kind of activity, but I'm wondering
if there is any way to stop unwanted phone sweeps.
