Most sysadmins just love the idea of switching on a box that just works automatically. In the case of IP phones that is typically possible by setting up the right DHCP config and a TFTP server hosting firmware and configuration. My introduction to TFTP The TFTP protocol typically runs over port 69, and the above image shows a rather insecure doll. The TFTP protocol is rather simple and lightweight:…

A quick post to refer to the live bootable CD from Viperlabs called VIPER VAST. It’s a Linux distribution that includes a good number of tools that can help in a VoIP security assessment. I think I’ll be giving this a try next time around. What makes this useful is if you want to quickly have a machine with all the right libraries, drivers and packages installed to be able to run tools such as UCsniff.…
