Blue Box Video Podcast #01 - SIP softphone exploit demonstration by Sipera Systems at VoiceCon San Francisco 2007

Synopsis: Blue Box Video Edition #1: SIP softphone exploit demonstration by Sipera Systems recorded at VoiceCon San Francisco 2007

---

Welcome to Blue Box: The VoIP Security Podcast Video Edition #1, a 5-minute video podcast from Dan York showing an exploit of a SIP softphone by Sipera Systems.

In this first video podcast, Dan interviewed Sachin Joglekar, Vulnerability Research Lead for Sipera Systems, about the exploit that Sipera first demonstrated at Black Hat USA 2007 last month in Las Vegas. Sachin shows how by sending a specific SIP packet, he can crash the SIP softphone but in doing so have it execute server code to which he can connect via netcat.  He then has a command prompt on the Windows system and can execute arbitrary commands.  In this case he just copied over some files.  He did indicate that they are working with the vendor of the (unnamed) SIP softphone to correct the problem.

The interview was recorded on the show floor of VoiceCon San Francisco 2007.

Show Content:

In this Special Edition, we bring you a recording of the panel session at VON Europe in Stockholm, Sweden, in June 2007.  Longtime Blue Box contributor Martyn Davies moderated the panel which included Ari Takanen of Codenomicon, Cullen Jennings of Cisco and Akif Arsoy of Verisign.  Rather than going with canned presentations of slides, the panel was a conversation among the panelists based on questions that Martyn had as well as questions from the audience.  I think you will find it both enjoyable and educational.

The members of the panel are, left-to-right, Martyn Davies (Dialogic), moderator, Ari Takanen (Codenomicon), Cullen Jennings (Cisco) and Akif Arsoy (Verisign):

               

We thank Martyn for contributing this recording and also compliment him on what is one of the best conference recordings we've ever offered as far as audio quality goes.  Dan also thanks Cullen Jennings for standing in for him when Dan was suddenly unable to attend Podcamp Europe.

Telecom Junkies podcast: Interview with a VoIP Hacker (Robert Moore of the Pena/Moore voip fraud case)

Remember the Pena/Moore voip fraud case back in June 2006? Would you like to know how the attacks were done?  And how you can protect your network?

First, for those who don't recall, this was a case where Edwin Pena was alleged to have set himself up as a voice service provider and then, with the assistance of a developer named Robert Moore, routed his customer's calls across the networks of other VoIP service providers.  Pena is alleged to have stolen at least 10 million minutes from other voice service providers and made in excess of $1 million dollars. Pena subsequently fled the country (and remains even today a fugitive).  We wrote about it here and also covered it in Blue Box podcasts #31 and #33 and I was a guest on a Telecom Junkies podcast back in July 2006 discussing the case.

In any event, one year later Robert Moore has been convicted for his part in the scheme and on July 24th was sentenced to a two-year term in prison, 3 years probation and a $150+K fine.  

Before he reports to prison in about 6 weeks, though, Moore got in contact with Jason Huffman from The Voice Report to ask if Jason was interested in an interview.  Given my prior involvement with the Telecom Junkies podcast, Jason contacted me to see if I would also be interested in coming onto the show.  Both he and I were concerned about interviewing someone recently convicted (i.e. not wanting to glorify the crime or criminal), but I shared Jason's view that if we could obtain information about how the attacks were done we could potentially help people protect their systems against these type of attacks.  (Jonathan was also invited and provided great feedback but was unable to attend due to scheduling issues.)

The result is a new Telecom Junkies podcast: "Interview with a VoIP Hacker" which is available for download.

As we'd discussed in our previous coverage of the case, there were really two different types of systems that were attacked:

1. Voice gateways of VoIP service providers
2. Servers/routers of other businesses that were compromised to hide the source of traffic going to the voice gateways

In the interview, Robert Moore confirms that all the voice gateway attacks were H.323 (no SIP was involved) and they weren't terribly sophisticated because the VoIP service providers didn't have all that much security in place.

Moore also indicates that all the other boxes (#2) were compromised primarily by easy means such as weak and easily guessable passwords - or even worse, unchanged default passwords.  In some cases, there were boxes on the Internet with exposed SNMP ports that then let the attackers learn all about the box so that they could then research potential vulnerabilities.  This part really had nothing whatsoever to do with VoIP but instead with really just basic IT security practices which were (and undoubtedly still are) very obviously not being followed by many folks out there. 

In any event, the interview is now available for listening.  Meanwhile, Moore is soon heading off to prison and Pena is still somewhere out there...

P.S. If anyone listening can identify the name of the second switch vendor that Moore indicates he went after, neither Jason nor I could identify it despite my request for the name to be repeated.

UPDATE: Thank you to all who responded (including Robert's sister here in the comments). The other switch was a Quintum Tenor - http://www.quintum.com/

Anyone attending Black Hat or Defcon interested in providing reports into the Blue Box podcast?

Are you attending Black Hat next week in Las Vegas (July 29-Aug 2)? Or the Defcon show that follows? If so, would you be willing to provide a report (either audio or written) for us to include in a future Blue Box podcast (or potentially post on the VOIPSA blog)? Neither Jonathan nor I (nor Martyn) are going to be attending Black Hat or Defcon but there do look to be a number of quite interesting talks involving VoIP security.  If you would be willing to send in a report from Black Hat or Defcon just briefly talking about what is discussed at the sessions there, please do drop us an email as we'd love to have such contributions. 

FYI, if you want to try audio, contributions could be either: 1) recorded using something like Audacity and then sent by email; or 2) simply called into our comment line (+1-206-350-2583 or sip:[email protected]).

ETel "Black Bag" Security presentations now available with audio synced to slides (through "slidecasting")...

Have you ever wished you could know when the slides are being changed when you listen to one of our Special Edition podcasts?  Well, now you can courtesy of a new "slidecasting" interface made available from the folks at SlideShare.net.  I have now made available synced versions of Blue Box SE#15 and Blue Box SE#16 as shown in the embedded objects below.  SE#15 is, to me, a great example of the power of SlideShare's syncing interface.  It is about 243 slides in 15 minutes and without the sync, it's not as easy to see how the slides are used to support the story.  SE#16 is the much-longer 90-minute workshop that Jonathan, Shawn Merdinger and I did which again shows how the slide sync can be used in a longer setting.  In any event, you can check them out in the embedded shows below.  First the 15-minute "Black Back Security Review":

And then here our 90-minute workshop:

We would naturally love to hear your feedback about whether you find this useful.  We anticipate putting up future presentations in this fashion.  What do you think?
