June 2003 - SC Magazine Review
Following in the footsteps of Xiscan 1.2,
version 1.3 receives another   award
from SC Magazine:
"The principle of Xiscan is a good
one. It takes the idea of war dialing
software, which hackers have used to
their advantage for many years to scan
telephone networks in an attempt to
locate entry points, and turns it
against the enemy."
