what is Xiscan?

Since the 1980's, hackers have used automated telephone diallers (or wardiallers) to scan telephone numbers in an attempt to locate entry points into computer and telecommunications systems. The same tools are still available today, but very much show their hacker heritage.

Xiscan takes the basic idea of the wardialler and updates it for the corporate environment. It transforms a basic hacking tool into a sophisticated monitoring system, based on the latest technologies. It replaces a clunky text based front end with an easy to use GUI. It trades a dependence on DOS for the platform independence of Java. It is engineered around a core database rather than flat files. It can be integrated directly into a production batch schedule for routine, automated scanning and reporting.

It has been designed from the outset to support management reporting.
