How Easy Is It to Spoof a Caller ID?

by Andrew Swoboda on March 15, 2019

Caller ID spoofing has become a real nuisance with machines and scammers hiding behind a number that they are not authorized to use. This creates the need to prevent illegitimate calls from using random numbers. In the meantime, have you ever wondered how easy it is to spoof a caller ID?

There are many online services that allow people to spoof calls, but it is possible for someone to spoof caller IDs without these services. To spoof a caller ID you need to have a PBX (private branch exchange) and have an external trunk to allow calls to go to the outside world. You can obtain a popular free software-based PBX called Asterisk. This software allows you to turn any system into a PBX.

How to communicate externally?

To be able to communicate externally, you will need to obtain access to a VoIP provider. You can purchase the particular services that you need from a VoIP provider online. A prevalent form of communication between the PBX and a VoIP provider is SIP (session initiation protocol). Once the trunk has been purchased and configured, you will be able to communicate with the outside world.

What Type of Hardware do you need?

There are many phones that can use SIP to communicate with the VoIP provider. However, for my configuration, I have used two of the Grandstream DP720, and they require the Granstream base station DP750. This base station can be configured to use SIP to communicate with Asterisk that is running on a Raspberry PI 3 B+ using RasPBX.

What is RasPBX?

RasPBX is Asterisk for the Raspberry PI. RasPBX contains Asterisk to be able to function as a PBX and FreePBX for easy configuration of Asterisk. RasPBX contains Debian Stretch as the operating system (Read more...)
