Vulnerabilities found in Cisco's VoIP system.

(InfoWorld) - Cisco Systems has disclosed that a core component of its enterprise VOIP system is vulnerable to several serious security flaws. The flaws could allow remote attackers to compromise a company's VoIP network, redirect or listen in on calls and carry out other nastiness, according to Cisco and Internet Security Systems (ISS), which discovered the flaws.

While the bugs haven't yet been exploited, they represent one of the most high-profile security scares in enterprise IP telephony to date. Enterprises are moving quickly to shift to IP-based telephone networks, with Gartner predicting that by 2007, 97 percent of new enterprise phone systems installed in North America will be either VoIP or hybrid. Cisco leads the market at the moment by a wide margin, with a 42 percent share in North America, followed by Avaya with 14 percent, 3Com with 11 percent, and Nortel with 9 percent, according to Gartner's research.

Just in case you get landscape inspiration from some movies...check out what is in the public domain at archive.org...Public Domain from Outer Space. Black_by_Pubic_Deman writes "It is a work of art that truly represents the nadir of film making; a movie so bad that it's good. It has been labelled 'The Worst Movie Ever' by the Golden Turkey Awards and is also the winner of two notable Razzies. Ed Wood's classic and every Slashdot reader's favorite movie Plan 9 from Outer Space is now in the Public Domain and available as a free download thanks to the fine folks over at Archive.org."
