Telephone Exchange "War Dial"

Malicious intruders are constantly probing access points for misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and weak security controls that compromise network defenses. Although the widespread use of remote access has diminished somewhat in recent years, it still poses a serious risk.

Dial-in technologies provide would-be intruders with increased opportunities to gain illicit access to your organization, putting your data at serious risk. At NopSec, we have extensive experience helping clients identify rogue and unsecured modems, analyzing their security configurations, testing for vulnerabilities, and implementing security policies to minimize this risk.

Our comprehensive security testing for dial-in and other remote access helps to ensure integrity throughout your organization. Our testing begins with a footprint of externally connected systems. We’ll work with your staff to identify a target range of numbers and exchanges that can be used to connect to your network via public phone lines. Next, we’ll examine the target range, identifying phone numbers with remote access and, where possible, gather information about platforms, operating systems, and applications. Finally, we’ll attempt to exploit vulnerable systems to gain access to the network and gauge the level of potential risk to your organization.
