5.0 out of 5 stars asterisk pseudo-developer
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a hacking book at all

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.
