Bugging Catches Up To SIP Phones

Posted by kdawson on from the excuse-me-i'm-already-on-a-call dept.

SkiifGeek writes "After news at the end of last year that mobile phones could be remotely eavesdropped, and there being a long history of remote eavesdropping possible on normal telephones, it was only a matter of time until VoIP devices were found to be eavesdropable (whether intentionally or not). In the last week there have been several exploit code releases, and it seems that some vendors who chose to write their own SIP networking stacks are at risk of their devices being easily eavesdropped on."

    Apparently not only can HE hear you now, but so can several other people whether you know it or not.

    Everyone should add some whitenoise to their conversation.

    Just replace the words "mother" with "dealer", "holiday" with "bank job", "tv" with "nuke", any "john" with "osama", "cook" with assasinate.

    That way, they wont be able to dicypher the real from the fake.
    Then again someone should try it first.

    Let me know how it goes, and I will start doing this.
