DisAsterisk Sneak-Peek

A colleague and I's newest project, DisAsterisk, is an exercise in leveraging Asterisk, other open source software, and our own custom code to create useful tools for VoIP security research. I'll briefly describe the Asterisk extension module API, cover what we've developed so far, and list our future goals for the project.

Metasploit Framework Telephony

An important attack vector missing in many penetration testing and attack tools available today is the tried-and-true telephony dialup. With the recent surge in popularity of VoIP connectivity, accessing such attack vectors has become both cheap and easy. Using the new Metasploit telephony components, users are now able to both scan for and dial up directly to telephony-accessible exploitation targets.
