SMS spoofing a relatively new kind of high-tech felony, which uses the short message service (SMS), which is available on most mobile phones and personal digital assistants, to spoof or impersonate another user. The spoofing is often used to send viruses that can be carried from phone to phone and which can cause destructive behavior.
How sms spoofing is carried out ??
SMS spoofing became possible after many mobile/cellular operators had integrated their network communications with/in the Internet. So anybody could send SMS from the Internet using forms at the websites of mobile operators or even through e-mail. Unfortunately, the Internet forms designed to send SMS may have vulnerabilities that could lead hackers to be able to break the tunneling protocol that links the phones with the Internet.
There is also dedicated Open Source tool called SMS Spoof, which is a Palm OS application that allows individuals to send spoofed SMS messages. It uses a dialup connection to any EMI/UCP-compatible short message service center (SMSC) which supports the EMI/UCP protocol, as long as no authentication is required.
