Counterpath and Digium Do It!


We will be welcoming Bria Product Director Todd Carothers to the VUC in a second segment on Jan 29th at 1PM EST.

From this press release:

CounterPath and Digium(R) Launch Asterisk-Based Multimedia Softphone

Based on open standards, Bria for Asterisk combines Digium’s Asterisk, AsteriskNOW and Asterisk Business Edition telephony platforms with Bria Professional, CounterPath’s enterprise-class, multimedia softphone. Bria for Asterisk gives users advanced telephony features, yet can be quickly set up and configured with any Asterisk deployment.

The VUC is officially testing Bria on Windows and OS X and we hope provide valuable feedback to Counterpath during this launch.

AstLinux is a custom Linux distribution centered around Asterisk, the Open Source PBX. Although Asterisk remains the core focus, other VoIP applications such as OpenSIPS and FreeSWITCH are also available. AstLinux has many features that make it ideal for embedded and commerical Asterisk based solutions.

On the call Friday we will discuss the newly released 0.7.0 version of AstLinux and the number of improvements over the 0.6 series of releases.  0.7.0 will be available with either Asterisk 1.4.29 or 1.6.21 (two separate download images).

hackingvHimanshu Dwivedi, author of Hacking VoIP, joins us.

In addition to attacks on network availability and authentication, administrators must contend with eavesdropping, audio injection, Caller ID spoofing, VoIP phishing, and other unique exploits. All of these security holes can result in the leakage of information and in unreliable phone calls. Hacking VoIP reviews the many possible VoIP attacks, and discusses the best defenses against them for both enterprise and home VoIP solutions. Author Himanshu Dwivedi introduces popular security assessment tools, describes the inherent vulnerabilities of common hardware and software packages, and provides the first ever VoIP security audit program. The book covers common enterprise VoIP protocols such as SIP and RTP as well as unique protocols like H.323 and IAX.

No Starch Press, publishers of Hacking VoIP, have generously given us two copies to give away to participants of the VUC.

Some of the tools mentioned in the book are on this page.
