I am looking for imput from folks who have performed security posture assessments as to the best free alternative to Phone Sweep. I have heard good things about toneloc, but have been unsuccessful at getting it to initialize any of the five modems I have attempted. The basic configuration seems to be no more complicated than a COM port and an IRQ setting so please let me know if you think there is something I am missing. If you have gotten it to work what do you think is the best modem for toneloc?
Toneloc rocks. I don't know why you had issue with the modems. I build wardial rigs with multiple modems on Windows 2000 boxes using Toneloc. The modems ranged from external USR modems to internal 3Com and some other LT Winmodem. It was dialing 3 lines for a night or two without any hickups. All three tonelocs were humming beautifully in their console windows all at once. Just as a side note. When war dialing, really, really, really make sure you don't overshoot the estimated range of numbers and end up in a cell phone block. Thanks to caller ID people call back, even after midnight. I remember one guy that called every half hour.... I guess he couldn't understand why I called him and just hung up. Maybe he thought he missed something important... a date perhaps? ...lol Cheers, Frank
