Introduction:
PhoneSweep is a program developed by Sandstorm Enterprises (http://www.sandstorm.net) to search for modems
within a set of phone numbers. PhoneSweep attempts to identify systems attached to remote modems as well as
attempting to find areas of poor security by guessing common usernames and passwords.
Some modems are of higher quality than others, and can report more information about a remote phone number.
These modems can recognize remote fax machines, phones answered by human beings, or simply just when a
remote number is ringing. Sandstorm Enterprises, Inc. makes available a recommended modem list, including
modems known to work well with PhoneSweep
Without a recommended modem, PhoneSweep must rely on a time-based timeout to end a connection. It will only
be able to differentiate between calls to modems, busy signals, and calls that timed out. PhoneSweep will not then
include a list of fax, voice, and ring timeout numbers.
