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. As reported by Kerry Garrison on his blog: There are some new scripts...

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. We chose Gradwell.com as our preferred supplier of digital trunks for our...

I was fortunate to attend a Microsoft event in London today on the topic of Software plus Services, at which the keynote speaker was none other than Microsoft CEO Mr. Steve Ballmer. He was not what I expected - I was pleasantly surprised. He comes across as genuine but direct and to the point, humourous...

I lost my cool a little bit today, when someone on the MVP programme emailed me and asked me to try Internet Explorer 8 beta 2. They said I could try to join the beta program, no guarantee I would be accepted, but they wanted to offer me the opportunity to try. Gee, thanks. Here is my reply in full:...

Email disclaimers are one of my pet hates. They are, on the whole, rather ill considered . Here’s a fairly typical one that I received today in a marketing email: This Email any attachment may contain information which is confidential. If you are not the addressee, any disclosure, reproduction...

It’s not often you hear the words End of the World , Black Hole , Flying Saucer and Loch Ness Monster in the same utterance, so my interest was piqued when I heard exactly that on BBC’s The One Show tonight.

I saw a post by Jesse Liberty, Silverlight Geek about the technology being used by the Democratic National Convention to stream HD video using Silverlight technology. Well, never mind the politics, check out the technology. If you have ever, EVER seen a flash video that can rival this quality, just point...

OK, this isn’t ALL my office, it’s a shared office facility in South Wales UK where I operate from most of the time. The Photosynth servers were feeling a bit better today and were allowing new synths to be created, so I ran around with Grace’s digicam and took about 190 photos. It’s taken a good few...
