Hacking VoIP: New Book Shows How Easy it Is to Attack VoIP

VoIP is an increasingly widespread new technology that allows users to escape the tyranny of big telecom and make phone calls over the Internet. But while VoIP may be cheap and convenient, it's notoriously lacking in security. With little effort, attackers can eavesdrop on conversations, disrupt phone calls, inject content into existing conversations, change caller IDs, and access sensitive information—all without the awareness of the VoIP users making the phone calls.

Hacking VoIP approaches VoIP security from two angles, explaining VoIP's many security holes to both hackers and administrators. The book raises awareness of the importance of VoIP security, describes potential attacks, explains VoIP's biggest weaknesses, and offers solutions for protecting against potential exposure and attacks. Readers learn how to defend against VoIP attacks as they explore issues with VoIP security and the boundaries of VoIP protocols.

VoIP Providers Using E911 as Cost-Effective, Competitive Differentiator

E911 is commanding even greater attention in the VoIP market as Monday's FCC ruling became more stringent and reports of casualties related to VoIP E911 limitations are publicized. Not only could the liability of ignoring emerging 911 capabilities be disastrous for a VoIP company, sales could also suffer as consumers are beginning to seriously evaluate 911 functionality in their voice buying decisions. To be competitive, VoIP companies are getting in front of FCC compliance and consumer demand for public safety. Historically, 911 technology enhancement was cost-prohibitive for VoIP providers, but rising IP-based E911 companies are allowing them to compete both on technology innovation and price, due to a lower cost infrastructure.
