The Wardialer of Choice for Security Professionals
It doesn't matter how strongly you've locked the front door to your network if you've left
the back door
wide open.
Has someone inside your organization attached a modem to your network?
Are your authorized modems susceptible to a break-in with a wardialer?
Are your modems displaying login banners that identify the system?
Do your modems still have default manufacturer passwords?
Is there unknown open access to a legacy system?
Are you at risk by not conducting regular audits across your organization?
If you aren't comfortable with your answers, you've come to the right place to learn
about establishing a security perimeter using PhoneSweep.
Sandstorm's PhoneSweep telephone scanner was the world's first commercial wardialer.
It's the most popular commercial telephone scanner in the world today, with over 80% of the worldwide market. Sandstorm holds
two patents on technology used in PhoneSweep:
US Patent 6,490,349: System and Method for Scan-dialing Telephone Numbers and Classifying Equipment Connected to Telephone
Lines Associated Therewith.
"...a lot easier to use than anything else I've seen."
Kevin Beaver, speaking about PhoneSweep in
Hacking For Dummies (2nd ed.)
The Simple Path to Sophisticated Assurance Testing
Do you have incoming fax lines where lost calls are lost business?
Do key routers or servers have modems for remote access?
PhoneSweep 5.5 's Continuous Scan feature can check your
business-critical incoming phone lines as often as you require. Status
changes can be reported on a per-scan basis, or immediately via email
if downtime is to be avoided at all costs.
Steps to Security
The resources listed below will provide the information to determine how much your organization needs a tool like PhoneSweep in its security toolbox.
If you're deciding whether your organization needs PhoneSweep, take a look at the following pages:
If you have decided to buy, you have several options:
Software only. Useful if you already have compatible modems and hardware to connect to the PC running
PhoneSweep. See our Modems, Racks, and Serial Cards page for recommended hardware. As modem hardware is specific to each
country's dialing tones and standards, we do not ship hardware internationally. Customer sites outside the US will need to obtain compatible modems and hardware
from local suppliers. See our Recommended Modems and Multiport
Solutions pages for recommended hardware.
Software + hardware. Useful if you have some compatible modems or hardware, but need to purchase more.
Bundled system (desktop, laptop, or rackmount). Useful if this is an initial implementation or if you require dedicated hardware for your
telephone line auditing. See our Product Variants page to pick a system that is right for you.
