Truecaller hack Powerful Dialer: The world’s best Caller ID will identify anyone calling you. That is, calling from one phone number but making it appear that you called from another number.On Wednesday, the Syrian Electronic Army reported hacking into the databases of Truecaller, a global collaborative phone directory. In June 2007, Good Morning America did a story on Caller ID spoofing. The basic issue, as I see it, is that once telephone calls become computer data, they can be manipulated like any other type of data.Ĭaller ID can be hacked in other ways too. The net effect is that, when Mitnick's cellphone rings, he not only sees the callers' phone number, he can also tell that they tried to hide it. But, calls that requested privacy have an arbitrary three digit code pre-pended to the phone number.
Mitnick's script forwards all calls to his cellphone. But, just because you ask for something doesn't mean you'll always get it. The script can see the originating phone number and can also tell that the caller wanted their number hidden. Once a phone call hits Mitnick's Asterisk server, a script that he demonstrated analyzes information in the SIP header. In other words, it's not an expensive thing to set up.Īsterisk has its own scripting language. On the hardware side, all you need is a computer to use Asterisk with VoIP calls (to interface with the public telephone network requires additional hardware). The Asterisk website says it runs on GNU/Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and Mac OS X. According to Wikipedia, "Asterisk is an open source/free software implementation of a telephone private branch exchange (PBX)".
