Hacking VoIP: Protocols, Attacks, and Countermeasures

Hacking VoIP: Protocols, Attacks, and Countermeasures

Product Description

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) networks have freed users from the tyranny of big telecom, allowing people to make phone calls over the Internet at very low or no cost. But while VoIP is easy and cheap, it’s notoriously lacking in security. With minimal effort, hackers can eavesdrop on conversations, disrupt phone calls, change caller IDs, insert unwanted audio into existing phone calls, and access sensitive information.

Hacking VoIP takes a dual approach to VoIP security, explaining its many security holes to hackers and administrators. If you’re serious about security, and you either use or administer VoIP, you should know where VoIP’s biggest weaknesses lie and how to shore up your security. And if your intellectual curiosity is leading you to explore the boundaries of VoIP, Hacking VoIP is your map and guidebook.

Hacking VoIP will introduce you to every aspect of VoIP security, both in home and enterprise implementations. You’ll learn about popular security assessment tools, the inherent vulnerabilities of common hardware and software packages, and how to:

• Identify and defend against VoIP security attacks such as eavesdropping, audio injection, caller ID spoofing, and VoIP phishing
• Audit VoIP network security
• Assess the security of enterprise-level VoIP networks such as Cisco, Avaya, and Asterisk, and home VoIP solutions like Yahoo! and Vonage
• Use common VoIP protocols like H.323, SIP, and RTP as well as unique protocols like IAX
• Identify the many vulnerabilities in any VoIP network

Whether you’re setting up and defending your VoIP network against attacks or just having sick fun testing the limits of VoIP networks, Hacking VoIP is your go-to source for every aspect of VoIP security and defense.

“

Learn to Protect Your Assets and Prevent Attacks! The use of Web Services for Business-to-Business (B2B) and Business-to-Consumer (B2C) transactions has created risks that expose critical assets to increasingly greater threats. Enterprise Web Services Security provides the information developers, application architects, and security professionals need to build security policies and strategies from the ground up in a Web Services environment. Most security books focus on computer or network security in isolation, relegating the other areas to overview chapters or appendices. A single-system view of security, however, is not adequate to describe a distributed Web Services-based environment as it causes the developer to have to piece together material from several resources in order to create secure Web sites and services. This book takes a holistic approach that mirrors the perspective developers need to take regardless of whether they are planning and implementing the security mechanisms for a Web Service, a Web site, or an enterprise. It details how to secure critical components such as workstations, servers, and networks, the goals behind an enterprise’s security policies, the policies an organization should have in place, and how to communicate those policies using WS-Policy Framework and WS-Security Policy. Various threats and attacks are also covered, as well as the identity management, authentication, authorization, access control, confidentiality, and integrity mechanisms needed to protect messages and transactions. Enterprise Web Services Security is the one book developers need to make all their security mechanisms work successfully to thwart attacks and protect assets.

“

Service-Oriented Architecure (SOA), Rich Internet Applications (RIA), and Asynchronous Java and eXtended Markup Language (Ajax) comprise the backbone behind now-widespread Web 2.0 applications, such as MySpace, Google Maps, Flickr, and Live.com. Although these robust tools make next-generation Web applications possible, they also add new security concerns to the fi eld of Web application security. Yamanner-, Sammy-, and Spaceflash-type worms are exploiting client-side Ajax frameworks, providing new avenues of attack, and compromising confidential information. Portals such as Google, Netflix, Yahoo, and MySpace have witnessed new vulnerabilities recently, and these vulnerabilities can be leveraged by attackers to perform phishing, cross-site scripting (XSS), and cross-site request forgery (CSRF) exploitation. Web 2.0 Security: Defending Ajax, RIA, and SOA covers the new field of Web 2.0 security. Written for security professionals and developers, the book explores Web 2.0 hacking methods and helps enhance next-generation security controls for better application security. Readers will gain knowledge in advanced footprinting and discovery techniques; Web 2.0 scanning and vulnerability detection methods; Ajax and Flash hacking methods; SOAP, REST, and XML-RPC hacking; RSS/Atom feed attacks; fuzzing and code review methodologies and tools; and tool building with Python, Ruby, and .NET. Whether you’re a computer security professional, a developer, or an administrator, Web 2.0 Security: Defending Ajax, RIA, and SOA is the only book you will need to prevent new Web 2.0 security threats from harming your network and compromising your data.

As a conscientious system administrator, network administrator, or security professional, you've no doubt been frustrated by the lack of good usable information about the latest, and most deadly internet attack, botnets. From diagrams to help you explain botnets to management, to working code to help you detect and respond to them, Botnets: Killer Web App has it all. Botnets are being hired to take out the competition, via DDOS attacks, in Clicks4Hire schemes to defraud Internet Advertising sites, in launching targeted Spam and phishing attacks. They use trojan horse software with remote control capabilities, stealth features that kill A/V software. The Command and Control servers use Fast Flux domains, sites that rapidly change their domain name or even IP addresses, to play an Internet version of the shell game. They steal identity and financial account information from infected hosts. They can be used to store prohibited materials, like child pornography, on your Mom or Dad's computer rather than on one that might lead to the actual pedophile's conviction. Botnets: Killer Web App, answers your questions about this new technology threat. What are they? How do they spread? How do they work? How can I detect them when they don't want to be seen? What tools are available to fight this menace? What kind of help is there across the Internet and within Law Enforcement? Botnets: Killer Web App, covers all this and more.

Publisher: Бук-пресс,Москва 2006 | ISBN: n/a | PDF | 2,45 MB

*Антиспам без секретов.
Практические рекомендации по борьбе с нелегальной рассылкой по электронной почте. В последнее время стали учащаться случаи жалоб пользователей Сети Интернет на то, что в их адрес приходит все больше и больше непрошеной корреспонденции рекламного характера. Такие письма называются в Сети спамом. Зачастую пользователи просто не обращают внимания на сетевую рекламу, удаляя такие сообщения из своих почтовых ящиков. На самом деле пагубность таких рассылок заключается в том, что большое количество рекламной корреспонденции может привести к излишней нагрузке на каналы и почтовые серверы провайдера, из-за чего обычная почта, которую, возможно, очень ждут получатели, будет проходить значительно медленнее. Книга расскажет обо всех видах спама, его целях, а также поможет избавиться от ненужных посланий по электронной почте.
*Руководство для хакеров.
Вы когда-нибудь задавались вопросом, как этому «чертовому» хакеру удается вновь и вновь появляться в системе, несмотря на то, что вы, казалось бы, полностью закрыли для него доступ? Если вы хотите заниматься хакингом в будущем, это руководство окажет вам неоценимую помощь. Также оно будет полезно и администраторам, так как даже в 2000 году существует великое множество способов нелегально проникнуть в UNIX, Windows 2000 и, конечно же, в Windows 98, равно как и в любую другую систему. Ни в коем случае не рассматривайте эту книгу как всеобъемлющий труд, отвечающий на все жизненные ситуации.
*Хакинг с самого начала: Методы и секреты.
С помощью этой книги Вы поймете как стать начинающим хакером. Хакинг с самого начала.
*Как стать хакером.
Интеллектуальное руководство по хакингу и фрикингу. Хакинг — это искусство взлома всевозможных систем и доведения данного процесса до высот технического изящества. После 2000 года понятие «хакер» окончательно изменилось. Это связано с появлением «хакеров вандалов». Нет, не хакеров, в изначальном понимании этого слова, но называющими себя имен но так, а так называемых взломщиков — крэкеров.

Product Description:

If you are using the Internet to conduct professional or personal business, you want to know your Internet connection is secure. This book gives you all the information and tools you need to keep the hackers out and the mission-critical information in. It takes you through planning, implementing, and administering a secure Internet connection--from understanding UUCP and auditing to encryption and firewalls to understanding viruses. A comprehensive resource for security and network professionals alike, this book will show you how to use and implement the latest technologies in the most secure fashion, including Java, CGI, and Windows NT.


Amazon.com Review:

This is a big book--more than 850 pages. And the type is small, too. It has precisely what's needed to pack a comprehensive resource on Internet security into a single volume. The authors don't waste space on philosophizing or lecturing about security--they simply lay out what a site manager needs to know, beginning with the basics of TCP/IP. The book presents a five-part approach. Part one deals with security management, including TCP/IP, daemons, UUCP, and audit trails. Part two switches perspectives to that of the intruder, showing ways of gaining illicit accesses and how attempts to do so can be thwarted. Part three examines the challenges of creating secure channels for messaging. Part four shows how to deal with security concerns raised by Windows NT, Java, and various viruses. Part five contains the appendices, offering an array of security references and resources where site managers can find further and updated information. While the need to cram such a vast storehouse of information into the books rarely allows for a relaxed style of exposition, the authors have done a fine job of keeping explanations clear and useful to even novice site managers.



Summary: Good. Does not provide a "how to" way to protect a Business.
Rating: 4

This book provides very good advice on how security works, and some way hackers had invaded systems.

Includes, Java, CGI, SATAN, Kerberos but lacks an step by step advice to protect networks. The book is all about Unix...


Summary: Excellent books for make penetration testing...
Rating: 5

This book cover a width range of themes, include security for winnt, unix. Also cover security with CGI, Java.. Excellent !!!

With more than 67% of web servers running Apache, it is by far the most widely used web server platform in the world. Apache has evolved into a powerful system that easily rivals other HTTP servers in terms of functionality, efficiency, and speed. Despite these impressive capabilities, though, Apache is only a beneficial tool if it's a secure one. To be sure, administrators installing and configuring Apache still need a sure-fire way to secure it--whether it's running a huge e-commerce operation, corporate intranet, or just a small hobby site.

Distributed Systems Security: Issues, Processes and Solutions
by Abhijit Belapurkar, Anirban Chakrabarti, Harigopal Ponnapalli, Niranjan Varadarajan, Srinivas Padmanabhuni, Srikanth Sundarrajan
Publisher: Wiley (April 6, 2009) | 334 pages | ISBN: 0470519886 | PDF | 9.2 MB

How to solve security issues and problems arising in distributed systems.

Security is one of the leading concerns in developing dependable distributed systems of today, since the integration of different components in a distributed manner creates new security problems and issues. Service oriented architectures, the Web, grid computing and virtualization – form the backbone of today’s distributed systems. A lens to security issues in distributed systems is best provided via deeper exploration of security concerns and solutions in these technologies.

Distributed Systems Security provides a holistic insight into current security issues, processes, and solutions, and maps out future directions in the context of today’s distributed systems. This insight is elucidated by modeling of modern day distributed systems using a four-tier logical model –host layer, infrastructure layer, application layer, and service layer (bottom to top). The authors provide an in-depth coverage of security threats and issues across these tiers. Additionally the authors describe the approaches required for efficient security engineering, alongside exploring how existing solutions can be leveraged or enhanced to proactively meet the dynamic needs of security for the next-generation distributed systems. The practical issues thereof are reinforced via practical case studies.

Distributed Systems Security:

* Presents an overview of distributed systems security issues, including threats, trends, standards and solutions.
* Discusses threats and vulnerabilities in different layers namely the host, infrastructure, application, and service layer to provide a holistic and practical, contemporary view of enterprise architectures.
* Provides practical insights into developing current-day distributed systems security using realistic case studies.

This book will be of invaluable interest to software engineers, developers, network professionals and technical/enterprise architects working in the field of distributed systems security. Managers and CIOs, researchers and advanced students will also find this book insightful.
