Re: IP Telephony pen-test and VLAN's

[Mark Teicher <mht3 () earthlink net>]

Conducting a security assessment on a Cisco IPT system, one could potentially use one of the commercially or 
non-commercial port scanners available, but the real security assessment is the configuration.  Most of the IP 
telephony systems are highly susceptible to a Ddos attack as mentioned in several books that have been published 
recently, but again this is not the real deliverable one would want to deliver to the senior exec staff.  Informing 
them that the current configuration allows for toll-fraud, call redirects, outbound forwarding, call routing mishaps 
would be more interesting, since toll-fraud may be small potatoes in a security pen-testers mind since "being ownzed" 
or "r00ting" a system is more popular, but informing a senior exec staff person that a internal or external person can 
make unlimited calls from anywhere on the universe through the IPT system will make them go out and hire a Phd in 
Biology as their CSO who has been known to wear camouflage pants and oogle all the well-endowed women in the 
organization..  Oops, am I speaking as if this really happenned, maybe it did at an organization near you..
