When Good VoIP Goes Bad

sw-0003It seems Security Chicken Little’s of the world have been screaming about VoIP security for some time now. Up until recently the attacks have been largely theoritical and not well understood.

That’s all starting to change, and a sign of the times is the new SiVuS VOIP Vulnerability Scanner. I’m going to take it for a test drive against my Vonage connection soon and let you know how it turns out.

Security Focus has a good article this month outlining 2 of the big threats: Session Hijacking and Eavsdropping. Worth a read.
