Actually this is not a vulnerability in the product itself, but if you use Asterisk or one of its derivatives such as TrixBox, you should review your SIP and IAX secrets to make sure they are not the same as your extension numbers.

I spent a fair chunk of today with Peter Gradwell and some of his colleagues from Gradwell.com. They were celebrating the company’s 10th anniversary and were kind enough to invite some of their customers to lunch in Cardiff Bay.

Let me start with a disclaimer: I neither love nor hate Linux. I sell a product that uses it, but wish I didn't have to. I read a blog called the Linux Hater’s Blog and, while I don’t completely approve of the language and style, I think the author cuts to the quick and his posts make interesting...

New broadband installation is complete but was not without some pain. That's not really surprising as domestic providers aren't really geared up for supplying businesses. The line was swapped over by about 10am and I promptly got a text message to inform me that I could connect my new "Be...

TiGra Networks is having a broadband upgrade this week so we'll be offline for perhaps a day while that happens. We'll be completely off the air for a while and there will be a bit of disruption while we install the new equipment and update our DNS records and stuff like that, so if you visit...
