Hacker Monitor
Introduction
This feature enables you to monitor selected or all mailbox
logins and Thru-Dials, which helps you to check for activity on
your system that may indicate the presence of hackers.
When this feature is combined with the SEER Mailbox feature,
you can be notified through Remote Notification when a
suspected unauthorized user attempts a Thru-Dial or enters a
particular mailbox.
Description
The Hacker Monitor capability is provided by three different
methods:
• by monitoring mailbox logins (see “Mailbox Login
Monitoring” on page 6-152)
• by monitoring the use of Thru-Dial services (see “Thru-
Dial Monitoring” on page 6-154)
• by monitoring mailbox logins or attempted Thru-Dials
from specified calling line identification numbers (CLIDs)
(see “CLID Monitoring” on page 6-157)
