War dialers from the past

[You Bet!]

Does anybody know of any good war dialers out there? They used to be very popular before the internet came about.

I'm looking for a way to send a string of numbers and pauses from a database to a specific phone number, then do it all again with a different number.

sounds weird - and well ya it is, but I need it

thx

WOW!, War dialers, i have not used one of those in ages!!! One that i used to use quite often was ToneLoc. Do a search your bound to find something on it.

Happy Phreaking!!

What you describe sounds like it might be illegal abuse of phone systems, and therefore easy to block (and perhaps a quick route to jail for anyone involved in such activity), but certainly there are tools such as the open-source PBX "asterisk" PBX whcih can handle automated dialling.

Not illegal. Radio Shack used to sell it. Outdated by specialize dailer s/w + PC & modems.

War dialing or wardialing is a method of automatically scanning telephone numbers using a modem, usually dialing every telephone number in a local area to find out where computers or fax machines are available, then attempting to access them by guessing passwords.

A more recent phenomenon is wardriving, the searching for Wi-Fi wireless networks by moving vehicle. Wardriving was named after wardialing, since both techniques involve brute-force searches to find computer networks.
