VoIP Blogger Mark Collier Releases New Book on VoIP Hacking
Note: We are ordering this book today. I am very interested in some of the Asterisk specific vulnerabilities. Glad to see this type of books coming out.
Mark Collier is excited, and he has every reason to be. His new book, Hacking Exposed VoIP, is hitting the shelves, and it even has its very own companion website. Besides maintaining his own blog, Mark is CTO for SecureLogix Corporation, responsible for all product and services R&D. The book, published by McGraw-Hill, is available for pre-order.
