5.6.1 Estimated Progress
The Estimated Progress area of the Status tab shows the estimated progress for the current sweep.
PhoneSweep estimates:
• The rate at which PhoneSweep is executing the sweep in Calls Per Hour
• The number of Calls Remaining (yet to be made.)
• The Total Calls it expects the sweep will require
• Time Until Finish
These estimates will usually change rapidly at the beginning of a sweep. More specifically, PhoneSweep
will almost always overestimate the work required, especially in Penetrate mode. The initial estimates in
Penetrate mode assume that all numbers reach devices that can be brute-forced, and that PhoneSweep can
guess only one username/password combination per call. Calls Per Hour starts at 60 calls per hour per
active modem, which is subsequently updated during the sweep by the actual average number of calls
made per hour per active modem.
