## Fake-SMS

A simple command line tool using which you can skip phone number based SMS verification by using a temporary phone number that acts like a proxy.

**Note-1: This is just an experimental tool, do not use this in any banking transactions. Unethical use of this tool is strictly not encouraged."**

**Note-2: The tool uses upmasked, A Eurpoean service provider, data will be stored on their servers, make sure you agree to EU Data governance laws and GDPR. I recommend you not to use this for any personal transaction which reveals your identity.**

### Features:

- Written in Go-1.15 (with modules support enabled)
- Provides an interactive CLI, which is easier to use.
- Provides a local file based DB to save and manage a list of fake phone numbers to help you remember and reuse.
- Unofficial client of [upmasked](https://upmasked.com/)

### Requirements:

- Go programming language - 1.15+

### To build:

The build process is simple, it is just like building any other Go module. Follow the steps below:

```auto
export GOBIN=$PWD/bin
go install

```

This will build the binary and place it in `bin/`. You can also consider using the pre-built binary which is available under `bin/`

#### Steps to use:

1. Register a number in local DB: You can register a number by selecting one of the available numbers as shown below.

1. Get the messages from any registered number: You can select a number which was saved in step-1 and view its messages as a list. The tool will also save the dump as json in the format `${PWD}/selected-phone-number.json`. As shown below:

1. Optionally, you can choose to delete the rembered numbers or list them.

#### Acknowledgements
