Both SIPVicious and Adhearsion have announcements to make. Sandro joins us to explain “svcrash”, a new addition to the tool kit to stop attacks when they happen:
A new tool has been added to SIPVicious – svcrash.py. As the name implies, it crashes something – svwar.py and svcrack.py. This tool is meant to be used by system administrators and organizations that are receiving unauthorized scans on their exposed IP PBX.

This release marks the continuation of the platform with some major enhancements and bugfixes:
- Support for Asterisk 1.6 (continued backward compatibility with Asterisk 1.4)
- Added support for ActiveLDAP
- ActiveRecord now works properly with Adhearsion components

Friday June 18th we will be extending our recent trend in discussing matters of VoIP security. This call will feature Ken Kuenzel from Acme Packet. Acme Packet are the leading provider of “Session Border Controllers,” aka SBCs.
What’s an SBC? What does it do? So glad you asked…as that’s just what we aim to find out on Friday! Acme has uploaded a slide presentation to follow while listening.
In the mean time, and for the very curious among you, Acme Packet has some great background on the topic amongst their online articles and presentations.
Yes, there’s homework!
Acme products: session border controllers (SBC), session-aware load balancers (SLB), multiservice security gateways (MSG) and session routing proxies (SRP)—operate Acme Packet Net-Net OS.

Among others, Ward Mundy (Nerd Vittles, our guest next week) and many of the VUC regulars join in this violent argument civil discussion about who is responsible for filtering, where it should take place and the how and why of their ideas on the subject.
If you’re into SIP technology, you’ll want to hear this discussion about who should protect people from SIP “CallerID stuffing” among Ward Mundy, Fred Posner (VoIP Tech Chat), Tim Panton, Karl Fife, Leif Madsen and the rest of the great gang of VoIP regulars. This is why you need to join us LIVE every Friday!
Programmers differ enormously over who should filter incoming data and where. There is no right answer, although the main point is to protect your users against whatever possible attacks might come through your system or pbx.
