VoIP security isn’t what it should be. Voice can be eavesdropped on and systems can be hacked. But there has been little of that … yet.

According to eWeek, despite the vulnerability of VoIP systems, there have been relatively few attacks on the technology so far. However, it’s best for VoIP users to prepare for the worst.

Here’s a snippet:

Collier and Endler recommend that enterprises have a security assessment done by an outside expert when implementing VOIP on their networks. And, Endler said, they have a list of 10 or so best practices, such as enabling encryption to prevent eavesdropping, changing default passwords, applying patches in a timely manner, separating voice traffic into its own virtual LAN, and implementing VOIP-aware firewalls that can open and close ports dynamically.

Collier also recommends enabling logging on critical equipment in the network, so that if there is an attack, it’s “a lot easier to figure out what happened,” he said.

Three brother’s softwares, very very similar in the interface and functionality, these softwares allow us to call for free landlines phones in many countries, without time limit, but i red some articles somewhere on the web that said that VoipStunt after a certain number of minutes of free calls (about 40) didn’t allow to call the free destination countries and ask for a credit (like SkypeOut) to continue to make free calls over free destinations; it also could be a little bug in the software.
On the contrary, with InternetCalls there’s no time limits or calls, will it be true? For settle things once and for all I installed all the three softwares, using them within the time I will find out if effectively will be possible to continue to make free calls without limits.
If it will be not… well, just sign in with a new account and take advantage of more free calls.
Anyhow the italian translation i made for VoipStunt works perfectly also with InternetCalls and VoipBuster.
