Oh absolutely. We could and did do this with DS-1 service in the 1990s! But the phone switch we had cost a ****-ton of money, and so did DS-1 service; that was the inhibiting factor. Nowdays you can buy a SIP subscription for almost nothing and run Asterisk or similar on a Pi, so the hardware is $25. Add to that some off-the-shelf free software to encode the voice stream and it's very, very easy to build a phone spam system that spoofs the outgoing number. They're traceable with some effort by the telcos but if the trace goes to some butthole place in India what are you going to do about it? Last modified: 2019-03-18 12:13:59 by tickerguy
