We do not get caller ID (name) on our telco lines.

 

However we have a few single line extensions with consumer type handsets
that ring at odd hours with "Asterisk" before the phone is picked up, and
"Out of Area"  after it is picked up.

 

I have read that "Asterisk" is what is reported by Asterisk for 0 length
caller ID number.

 

But since we don't subscribe to Caller ID Name, I am wondering where the
"Out of Area" is coming from?

 

Could these be hacking attempts via IP?   Perhaps they are doing the caller
ID name?  It only happens to a few extensions as far a we know.

 

TIA for any input or knowledge.

 

IP Hacking "should not" apply on your Telco lines.  I'd start with your CDR
file (/var/log/asterisk/cdr-csv/Master.csv) and go from there.

 

 

I had in mind a hacking attempt IP calling extension lines that exist, but
thanks, I will look at the cdrs.
