Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Verizon / February 2004Caller ID spoofing
Anyone can change the Caller ID to show up as any phone number they want. On TechTv reformed hacker Kevin Mitnick called Leo Leport and the number that showed up on Leo's phone was that of the White House, 1-202-450-1414. __________ If you give a little they give a lot. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/disco >Anyone can change the Caller ID to show up as any phone number they >want. On TechTv reformed hacker Kevin Mitnick called Leo Leport and >the number that showed up on Leo's phone was that of the White House, >1-202-450-1414. All "anyone" has to do is buy a T-1 line, provision it as an ISDN PRI line, and buy a small phone switch to put on the end of it. The phone company will believe whatever CallerID you program your switch to send out. So for few thousand dollars and a few hundred dollars per month for the PRI line, you can send whatever Caller ID you want. If it's really worth it to you... Or if you don't mind the "real" caller id also showing up, you can send the caller ID tones after the called party answers. Some caller ID boxes are not smart enough to ignore caller ID sent AFTER the called party answers. curious if it is on their site how to do it. I looked and can not find it. would be interesting to use occasionally. brian > Anyone can change the Caller ID to show up as any phone number they > want.

But we all assumed that he simply called Leo's phone as shown. We don't know if he called some other number which forwarded to Leo after doing some "magic" > __________ > If you give a little they give a lot. > http://www.dslreports.com/forum/disco >> >> curious if it is on their site how to do it. >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >if he called some other number which forwarded to Leo after doing some >"magic" He used a program like this one: http://www.bykeyword.com/downloads/software-7/download-7202.html __________ If you give a little they give a lot. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/disco >He used a program like this one: >http://www.bykeyword.com/downloads/software-7/download-7202.html The server's a little slow. In fact, it died at 4% download. If you had seen the show, you would have noticed that he said i wasn't public. So how do you know how he did it - NyQui >If you had seen the show, you would have noticed that he said it >wasn't public. So how do you know how he did it? If you would quote what you are replying to, we would know what you are talking about.

We don't know > if he called some other number which forwarded to Leo after doing some > "magic" Almost certainly some magic happened. He probably dialed into a PBX that was pre-modified to send the false CID info, used the outcall feature, and the deed is done. It's an old trick. Now, if he had managed to call an 800 number and show that the real time ANI could be spoofed to show the same white house call-in number, then I'd be impressed. :)  SignatureE-mail fudged to thwart spammers.

The caller ID comes from the switch and not the phone. There is no way to make it show anything other than what it is. -- John S. e-mail responses to - john at kiana dot net > The caller ID comes from the switch and not the phone.

Security must be lax... -:) -Quick Once again, John only reads the subject line of each thred, paying no attention to the content of any messages. -Jeff > >Anyone can change the Caller ID to show up as any phone number they > >want.
