"Attacks against VOIP" (.ppt)

-Peter Thermos
VoIP deployment is undoubtedly either one of the next major projects that organizations are considering in the near future or a project that has recently been completed. Based on the adoption rate of VoIP technologies, it is evident that organizations realize the associated economic and technological benefits.

A critical aspect of the VoIP deployment is security. As malicious users, hackers and fraudsters take advantage of vulnerabilities in the current computing infrastructure to perpetrate various attacks such as email spam, DoS, phishing and compromise systems; users and enterprise network owners have become more demanding and diligent in maintaining their networks/systems security posture while maintaining their user and customer privacy.

This talk discusses threats, vulnerabilities and protection mechanisms for VoIP communications. In addition the talk reveals tools and several real life examples of attacks that can be used to perform various attacks such as eavesdropping, DoS, Spam and Hijacking including discussion of a recent VoIP fraud case. Finally a list of recommendations is provided to start developing your own strategy to secure your VoIP network.
