Compromising a Proxy, Gateway, or PC/Softphone

We have tried to emphasize throughout this book that the security of your UC deployment is only as secure as the underlying supporting layers. No matter how securely architected a UC application is, it is irrelevant if the underlying operating system or firmware can be compromised. Most UC gateways, proxies, and softphone PCs run on top of either Windows or Linux. These operating systems are prone to numerous vulnerabilities that require constant patching and updates, as discussed in Chapter 12. There are a variety of exploitation tools that are able to facilitate hacking into these vulnerable hosts. One such tool that comes preloaded with a long list of “point-and-shoot” exploits is the Metasploit Framework, shown in Figure 10-4.
