I have a couple of questions. I have an Asterisk node with around 900 PSTN DIDs coming into it, and as a result, I get a fair volume of calls from random numbers. *Sometimes*, by sheer luck, they happen to pick one of the numbers that rings one of my telephones. Usually I'm not there, but I find out about it later while trawling the logs. Anyhow, I wanted input on the following suggestions: 1. Playing an ear-splitting loud milliwatt tone to verified spam callers. (perhaps using VOLUME(TX)=10 in Asterisk). 2. Obviously wasting their time is good, but that also wastes your time - what about sending such calls to Lenny, or a variation thereof? Perhaps recording numerous common prompts one would use to waste a telemarketer's time, and then setting it up so every call is different, in a way that wouldn't immediately let them know they were "talking to a machine" I wouldn't do either of these automatically, so as not to punish valid callers. But perhaps if I setup an easy way to transfer obvious spam calls to an extension that did one of these, it could be practical. ------------------------------ Message-ID: <873B705D-4B4D-493C-A39B-62F9490B60E8@roscom.com> Date: 5 Jun 2019 11:57:27 -0400 From: "Monty Solomon" <monty@roscom.com> Subject: In a rare advisory, NSA urges users to patch BlueKeep flaw The National Security Agency has issued a rare advisory warning users to update their systems to protect against BlueKeep, a new security vulnerability with the capacity to rapidly spread between computers.
