Why did Sandstorm create PhoneSweep?
Sandstorm’s philosophy is to provide security practitioners with professional, documented, supported products; PhoneSweep is intended to replace home-grown audit and test software, or “war dialing” software available on the Internet, with a tested and trusted commercial package. As companies’ information systems proliferate, corporate networks become more complex. The last generation’s cloistered mainframe is a thing of the past, and every desktop — and every phone — may be an entry point to your company’s information resources. Undocumented or misconfigured systems, or employee malfeasance may open holes in your company’s virtual walls, inviting the curious hacker — or worse.
