| [http://www.atstake.com/research/reports/acrobat/wardialing_brief.pdf Here] is an @Stake paper describing wardialing. Basically, an application tells the modem to dial a given set of phone numbers, usually entire prefixes at once. Any response that generates a modem handshake is logged. Gave its name to WarDriving and WarWalking. |
From Wikipedia's article on [[WikiPedia:Wardialing]]: War dialing or wardialing is a technique of using a modem to automatically scan a list of telephone numbers, usually dialing every number in a local area code to search for computers, Bulletin board systems and fax machines. Hackers use the resulting lists for various purposes, hobbyists for exploration, and crackers - malicious hackers who specialize in computer security - for password guessing.
