Book Description

1597491519 978-1597491518 June 29, 2007
Asterisk Hacking shows readers about a hacking technique they may not be aware of. It teaches the secrets the bad guys already know about stealing personal information through the most common, seemingly innocuous, highway into computer networks: the phone system. The book also comes with an Asterisk Live CD (SLAST) containing all the tools discussed in the book and ready to boot!

This book shows readers what they can do to protect themselves, their families, their clients, and their network from this invisible threat. Power tips show how to make the most out of the phone system and turn it into a samurai sword - for defense or attack!

*Asterisk Live CD (SLAST) containing all the tools discussed in the book and ready to boot!
*Contains original code to perform previously unthought of tasks like changing caller id, narrowing a phone number down to a specific geographic location, and more!
*See through the eyes of the attacker and learn WHY they are motivated, something not touched upon in most other titles

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a hacking book at all, January 4, 2008
By 
Rick van Rein (Enschede, the Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Asterisk Hacking (Paperback)
This book was an utter disappointment. Its editorial review suggested to me that I would learn about the deficiencies of VoIP and/or Asterisk, but in reality its main focus is on implementing an Asterisk PBX.

Only chapter 7, "Threats to VoIP communications systems" uses 19 pages to address this issue, but only poorly: Most text addresses generic network problems that we already know from other networking books, like ARP spoofing. It spends as little as half a page each on SIP-specific attacks and H.323-specific attacks. These descriptions are, of course, rather general pointers to a few documented bugs.

This book has been a waste of money for me. The editorial review sends far too much praise. Amazon however, accepted this reaction and took the book back at their expense.

5.0 out of 5 stars asterisk pseudo-developer, November 16, 2007
This review is from: Asterisk Hacking (Paperback)
Just what I was looking for. The book gives a lot of insight on the internals of asterisk and tips on how to protect against hackers. Very good value for money.
