Dr. Cheap's House of Hacks

Caller ID Spoofing

Circa 2002

Another item on the "things to do just because you can" list.

I am doing a little telephone system hacking, and figured out how to control the caller ID on the receiving end of my calls. As you can already imagine, there is much room for fun, danger, and illegality here. Some key hacking ingredients indeed!

I've had so many emails from people asking how to do this. It's simple, as long as you have the right equipment. If you don't know what that equipment is, then you don't have it and probably can't get it either.

Here are some pictures for your enjoyment...

Unfortunately I can only make up numbers, not names, otherwise this could be really fun.

P.S. Once a guy who didn't believe said he'd send me 10 bucks to call him with a certain number. I called him, he sent his money via PayPal. Thank you Mr. Bakhash, the $10 bought me a nice lunch.
