This may be of interest -- as a tool we can use to test our systems and as
a weapon that may be used against us :)

A brief read-over looks like it uses iaxclient and ruby to war dial a
range of numbers and record audio samples to be analyzed to identify if
the call was answered by a modem, fax machine, human, etc.
The calls are placed through a PSTN termination provider. I didn't see
anything about IAX brute forcing.
SIP was mentioned, but the primary focus appears to be IAX providers.
Thanks in advance,

You're making the assumption that all use of the software is for malicious purposes. The Asterisk/VoIP community should be made aware of this and it should be used to secure and otherwise audit our own installations. Just think, if everyone audited their systems, it may be harder for people to exploit them and use them as launchpads to do exactly what you talk about below.> I am constantly being pestered by cold callers with fake caller ids, > probe calls such as this, etc. I think for once CRTC/FCC need to step > up > to the plate and take some useful measures : > > - make knowingly presenting forged caller id a federal crime (its > fraud > and harassment already) > - block caller id spoofing at the telco boundaries (we all do this now > > for ip addresses, so why not caller id ?) > - ban offenders from having telecommunications service of any sort > nationally once convicted. > > If the telcos can't adapt to providing service and accountablity this > > way and actually serving the customers who pay them, > telecommunications > with just evolve without them.
