2023-09-10, 19:05–19:35 (Europe/Berlin), Tesla

In this talk the author proposes a novel method for intercepting phone calls over PSTN, including
mobile networks.
We'll briefly each discuss the necessary components of the attack, including Caller ID spoofing,
SS7, call diverts, and social engineering, and then join the all together to form the novel attack
method.

Two separate methods will be proposed.
The author will provide a pre-recorded demo of each attack.

legal dimension.
