Brucon Workshop #4: VOIP workshop

As we are finishing our main speaker track, expect some exciting news in the coming days. We’ll begin with announcing another workshop!

Joffrey Czarny and Sandro Gauci will be giving a workshop about VOIP security.

Content of the Workshop:

The Goal of this workshop is to learn the risks and the weaknesses of default deployments of VoIP and the threaths posed by the misconfiguration of some telephony features. The workshop will provide specific guidelines and advice on how to build a secured VoIP architecture. An example of this is the use of SRTP combined to DIA/ARP guard as one of the ways to block wiretapping… Several of such features will be presented and discussed during the workshop.

Some comparative information will be presented about the security aspects of different voice vendors like Alcatel, Nortel, Cisco and Asterisk.

Overview:

  • Identification of the VoIP Product
  • VLAN hopping, accessing the voice VLAN from the data VLAN
  • VoIP accounts enumeration
  • Communication wiretapping and injection of sound during a call
  • Spoofing of phone profiles and identity spoofing
  • UNISTM attack on Cisco IP phones
  • Bypass of call restrictions and voice gateway abuse
