1. war dialer
[originally from ‘wargames dialer’, a reference to the
movie War Games] A cracking tool, a program that
calls a given list or range of phone numbers and records those which answer
with handshake tones (and so might be entry points to computer or
telecommunications systems). Some of these programs have become quite
sophisticated, and can now detect modem, fax, or PBX tones and log each one
separately. The war dialer is one of the most important tools in the
phreaker's kit. These programs evolved from early
demon dialers.
