Nice going! my 5 cents! Is Mr L. aware of BS7799. Something every self respecting organization especially the government demands nowadays. O yeah, Mr. L "The BS" does not stand for Bull Shit like your superficial not well investigated article does. Implementing it is a pain in the ass by the way. To be able to implement any network related thing any self respecting organization demands some sort of security management. In practice a 61 pages document with network security requirements.
Like the guy with the clamps connection to any copper wire to eavesdrop. Good security does not allow nobody even near those copper lines. Security is a much wider aspect in pro organizations than only some VPN implementation but apparently Mr. L overlooked this issue and referred only to his home office. "Houston, we have a problem here". Fine weekend all, Tjapko. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ronald R. McDaniel Sent: Viernes, 14 de Mayo de 2004 02:56 p.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] OMG THE SKY IS FALLING!! NOT!!! I sent the following to the great Mr. Louderback: Mr. Louderback, If I was your friend, I would request to remain nameless too. I would like to reply to a couple of your statements in the article "Security Holes Make VOIP a Risky Business". Security holes make any type of technology risky business. A small company using wireless two-line analogue sets are risky since the conversation can be picked up with a device purchased from Radio Shack. As in most situations, the technology isn't the problem, it's the untrained individual that doesn't incorporate security measures when implementing technology. Many of the VOIP solutions that we are putting in place are running over private networks that are not open to the public ( ie frame relay and point-point leased line). You probably believe that guns kill people too. One last note, VOIP isn't new technology, you are a few years late with your announcement. If your article has any positive outcome, I hope that it may encourage those implementing any solution to seek professional assistance. Sincerely, Ronald R. McDaniel Southern Computer Services, Inc.
