Welcome to Blue Box: The VoIP Security Podcast!

Greetings!  Welcome to our little corner of the online world where once a week (roughly) we get together to have a conversation about Voice-over-IP (VoIP) security.  As you look down the page, you'll see that we have two general types of shows. Our "main" shows are where we get together and discuss the latest VoIP security news, offer commentary on topical issues and play and respond to listener comments.  These shows have been numbered consecutively since our start in October 2005 and generally run about 45 minutes.  Our "Special Edition" podcasts (now designated with a "SE" in the show title) are typically special interviews we have done, presentations we have given or panels/presentations from conferences that we have been able to record.  They are quite diverse and so do vary widely in length.  As you'll notice in our main shows, we've developed a wonderful community of listeners and always welcome comments, contributions or other feedback. Thank you for visiting and we hope you enjoy the shows.  Please do send us your thoughts and comments.

Thank you,
Dan York and Jonathan Zar

Comments

I think Jonathan's dismissal of the nokia DoS issue is unfortunate. DoS typically will evolve to compromise with enough research. MITM or authentication sniffing is also possible as the client reconnects

Full Disclosure

  • Dan York, CISSP, is the Best Practices Chair of the VOIP Security Alliance (VOIPSA) and the Director of Emerging Communication Technology for Voxeo.

    Jonathan Zar is affiliated with Pingalo and is the Secretary of VOIPSA and member of the Board of Directors.

    This is a personal project and neither Voxeo, Pingalo nor VOIPSA have any formal connection to this podcast. In the interest of transparency we just thought you should know our affiliations.

Why "Blue Box"?

  • We chose the name "Blue Box" primarily as a nod to the era of phone phreaking in part to illustrate that threats to telephony are not new - they just continue to change and evolve. That and admittedly the name just sounded cool.
