[Asterisk-Users] Fwd: [ISN] Voice Over IP Can Be Vulnerable To Hackers, Too

[tmpm]

Er, 2600hz would blow down analog crossbars, not most PBX's...most PBX's 
were "guessed" since most used 4-6 digit codes for access...finding an 
outdial, hopefully, a 1-800 was golden....remember the first "boxes", 
Black? Blue? the ones that would let you dial after you dropped the 
dialtone and got on the trunk?

2600hz, dropped dialtone and allowed access to the trunk (on crossbars, 
Until they went to out-of-band switching) With combinations of DTMF and MF 
signalling you could pick the desired path for a call, been there, done 
that, and been published in 2600 and Phrack...heh...
