Rahasia : Dial Up PBX Voicemail and VPN Hacking

Dial-up hacking is entered like other hacking by way of footprint, scan, enumerate, exploit. Dial-up hacking can be automated using traditional hacking tools called wardialers or demon dialers.

There are a number of dial-up hacking programs available for free on the Internet like the ToneLoc and THC-Scan and the commercial product called PhoneSweep. There are also manual and automated exploitation techniques including remote PBXes and voicemail systems.

Virtual Private Networking (VPN) is the next frontier of remote access. Virtual
Private Networking is seen as the great white hope of corporate networking and very secure. As shown by the book there is only one claim that VPN can be hacked.

An in depth research is presented in the use of dial-up hacking with emphasis how hackers start with feeding war dialers with numbers and other exploits using for example, simple online phone directories.

By stopping the leaks of our information, we can defend ourselves against hackers. We need to be careful with our phone numbers to guards against Foot printing technique and other techniques. There are legal issues and peripheral cost among others as well as carrier exploitation techniques to be safe from war dialing attacks

There is brute force scripting still being used today and low-hanging fruit. There are plenty of examples showing actual working systems. The process of step by step ASCII-based methods and how to execute them successfully which are lengthy and complex there is enough help.

ToneLoc is easy to set up and use for basic war dialing, sometimes it can be complicated especially with the use of more advanced features.

PBX HACKING

Dial-up connections and their relation to PBXes still exist. Dial-up is used to gain entry to PBX and eventually hack them. A discussion is there about Octel Voice Network Login system manager password and how helpful they are. It talks about Williams PBX, the PBX Protected ACE/Server, including PBX Hacking Countermeasure which teach you safe modem use and multiple forms of authentication such as two-way authentication with lockout option.


VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK (VPN) HACKING

Guard your Virtual Private Networking (VPN) and use your own “tunneling” technique. VPN are cost saving and convenience and by leveraging existing Internet connectivity the steep costs and complexity of traditional wide area networking can be greatly reduced. VPN is the next revolution in networking.

VPN is a broader notion than a specific technology or protocol, but most practical manifestations suing “tunneling” private data by way of the Internet with option for encryption. The primary justification for VPN is that it is cost savings and convenient. By leveraging existing Internet connectivity for remote office, remote user, and even remote partner (extranet) communications, the steep costs and complexity of traditional wide area networking infrastructure (leased telco lines and modem pools) are greatly reduced.

Many experts have chafed at the inscrutability of the IPSec draft standard, but Microsoft has embedded it in Windows 2000.  This is a bright side in VPN or good old-fashioned POTS lines.
VPN technologies have justly get nearer of age in the most recent few years and are stirring their way little by little into network architectures whether public or private. Many now offer managed VPN services for those who rather not want to build it themselves. This is a showing that VPN is well on its way to populating POTS off the stage as the number one choice for remote communications.

This has made VPN also the favorite of attackers. This newfound fame also makes them a target for many hackers who are constantly needing new challenge and move up in fame. War-dialing targets are also beginning to really fade and it will be too bad if not enough of them to be attacked for them.
