Fifth Cable Cut To Middle East 676

Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday February 06, 2008 @11:16AM from the now-wait-a-minute dept.

You may have noticed a number of stories recently about undersea cables getting cut around the world. Apparently the total is now up to 5, but the scariest part of this is that Iran is now offline. You can also read Schneier's comments on this coincidence. Update: 02/06 17:42 GMT by Z : As a commenter notes, though the country of Iran is obviously experiencing some networking difficulties, it is not offline.

Comment Spoof Caller ID From Home? (Score 3, Interesting) 286

I know for a while there has been a phreaking tool called Orange Box, which supposedly lets you spoof caller ID. But my understanding is it only works *after* the other person has picked up the phone, so it's not really good for much, or at least it's a lot trickier to take advantage of.

Of course, there is a very cool software version of this tool: Software Orange Box, here. You enter in the caller ID details you want to spoof, and it generates the phone tones that transmit that data, which you can then play thru your speakers and to the phone, or connect directly to the phone for better results.

Again, it's not a great spoofer, but it is pretty cool to mess around with.

this is *the* faq on orange boxing.
