Presentation Title: Ravage Unleashed : The Tactical VoIP Toolkit
Presentation Details:

Increasing numbers of users are benefiting from cheaper phone calls afforded by voice over IP technology. VoIP deployments are now common place for telcos, enterprises and consumers. Despite global adoption and rollout, voip is still hampered by ineffective security, in part due to poor VoIP penetration testing. Severe limitations in the capabilities of existing VoIP assessment tools restrict the range of attacks security practitioners can perform. The Tactical VoIP Toolkit (TacVTK) radically changes the VoIP auditing game.

This talk will focus on technical VoIP security assessment techniques, using the TacVTK core tools to demonstrate basic and advanced attacks. The primary emphasis for the talk will be SIP based VoIP security. The talk includes numerous demos, as well as providing conference participants a chance to see, and get a hold of, early release versions of the TacVTK.
