Holy Crap - More info on unblocking private Caller-ID

Wow so I sent a video to youtube of Kevin Mitnick's presentation at the HOPE conference and it seems to have exploded on some sites. some people have complained that its too hard to read so i want to try to help out! I don't have the time right now to do a fully detailed post on this (i can do that later when i have some time), but here is the most important snippet of code that Kevin used.

This is the custom snippet (I added some comments that will help people understand) that he adds to do the actual caller-ID unblocking. It's only 8 lines and you add it to your asterisk extensions.conf file:

[inbound]
;For Asterisk 1.4

;workaround to prevent rtp deadlock
exten => 12089068200,1,Playback(silence/1|noanswer)
;save the callerid to a variable
exten => 12089068200,2,Set(passertedid=${SIP_HEADER(P-Asserted-Identity)})
;save the privacy bit to a variable (if it is set)
exten => 12089068200,3,Set(privheader=${SIP_HEADER(Privacy)})

;check if callerid is private
exten => 12089068200,4,GotoIf($[${LEN(${privheader})} > 1]?8)

;send out regular callerids without modification
exten => 12089068200,5,Set(CALLERID(all)=${CUT(passertedid,@,1):5})
exten => 12089068200,6,Dial(SIP/18053414555@flowroute)

;prepend 900 to blocked callerids before unmasking
exten => 12089068200,8,Set(CALLERID(all)=+900${CUT(passertedid,@,1):5})
exten => 12089068200,9,Dial(SIP/18053414555@flowroute)

You gotta change the "18053414555" to your whatever phone number you want to forward calls to is. Also change "12089068200" to whatever number you purchased from flowroute.

i hope that helps and i'll be back soon with more

Hey guys,

I just got back from the last hope and it was awesome. The social engineering talk was so cool because they were doing live socials on stage. Everyone should go look at their website at http://www.thelasthope.org/

I just made this blog so i can post some stuff i want to show everyone later. Be back with some more posts soon!
