We have a solution that goes further than caller ID, we actually verify & validate ANI (the billing telephone number) used to make that call so you know for sure who called.

Our website is:

Once you scan through the details, it will become obvious that our solution is solid, tested and guaranteed.

For all you that didn’t know, Kevin Mitnick did this by dialing into a PBX that was set to display a different outgoing number (look it up, it is possible) and then dialed out of that and to Leo’s cell. Because he was using the PBX’s dial-tone, it displayed his number as whatever number was programmed into the PBX (in this case his acomplice programmed it to be the White House).

Not sure why people are paying for this service. This CallerID spoofing was shown by Kevin Mitnick on live television a while back on The Screen Savers on TechTV. Although he did not/could not provide exactly what he had dialed before the phone number; he said it is not that hard to find out how to do this spoof by doing a little research on the Internet.

Um. CallerID spoofing will not get around most cell phone security. Cell phone companies will look at the ANI (automatic number identification) instead of the CallerID. Caller ID is easily spoofed using a PRI Circuit.

I’ve never researched how callerid works before, but I’ve always assumed it was spoofable.
I’m surprised to hear that there are voicemail services that take that callerid info as authentication.
I guess I’d have to know more about callerid, but I’d suspect the problem isn’t with this service, it’s with the voicemail systems using this not-intended-to-be-secure piece of info for authentication.
But hey, maybe I’m totally wrong and callerid was meant to be secure and unspoofable from the beginning.
