Penetration testing for VoIP

Abstract

Thanks to its economic advantages and flexibility, VoIP technology is spreading dramatically in recent years. This increase is happening much faster, especially due to the recent COVID-19 restrictions. However, the rapid spread also brings along some security threats. So, it is inevitable to take security measures specific to VoIP technology. These security measures specific to VoIP systems and devices will increase the benefit in terms of cost and performance. In this context, penetration tests to determine the required security measures should also be made specific to VoIP. In this paper, we proposed a penetration testing strategy for VoIP which ensure and analyzes the VoIP vulnerabilities. Furthermore, it provides an aspect of view on VoIP security precautions for VoIP administrators. This strategy provides proactivity to VoIP administrators before a possible attack. In our future studies, we aim to analyze them by implementing in a test environment.
