War Dialer
  • A cracking tool, a program that calls a given list or range of numbers and records those which answer with handshake tones (and so might be entry points to computer or telecommunications systems). Some of these programs have becomequite sophisticated, and can now detect modem, fax or pbx tones and log each one separately. The war dialer is one of the most important tools in the phreaker's kit. These programs evolved from early demon dialers.
