Phreaking in the Age of Voice Over IP

Presented at DEF CON 12 (2004), Aug. 1, 2004, 1 p.m. (50 minutes)

Phreaking in the age of Voice Over IP? What the hell is Voice Over IP? If you're asking this question and you're interested in phones and thought phreaking was dead back in the early '80s when blueboxing died, or 2002 when AT&T killed redboxing on long distance calls then this is the speech for you. Or if you know what VoIP is but want to know how the hell it has any impact on phreaking you should also attend. This talk intends to educate it's audience on the new age phreakers. Most of the discussion will involve a detailed explanation of Calling Party Number(CPN), ANI, and Caller ID, and the differences between all three, we will also be covering the basics of phreaking with Voice Over IP technology, Asterisk, and VXML.
