In regards to the article http://online.securityfocus.com/news/497 about K. Mitnik's testifying, I was wondering what some of the terminology was all about, and if I could get a better explaination of some of it... Or atleast some reading material to take to work ;)
"The ex-hacker also discussed a testing system called CALRS (pronounced "callers"), the Centralized Automated Loop Reporting System."
"DMS-100 switching systems."
Is that still used today, what is being used in PacBell (SBC) territory? Doesn't SBC own nevada bell too?
Is there any other background I should know here? (I haven't read about telco stuff in years! *grin*)
Thanks all,
simon
