Vonage POTS== it's obvious when people climb poles, or fuss with lines around your house
POTS== it's obvious when people climb poles, or fuss with lines around your house or business. That's probably the most insecure portion of the POTS network. Everywhere else you have to be an employee, or granted special access.
VoIP== more discrete, you don't have to physically sit at the house to listen in on conversations.
Remember, this thread is a warning of potential security issues relating to unencrypted traffic. There have been people on this thread that have asked for me to document or provide documentation of this happening out in the wild. All the security buffer overflows within operating systems and applications that have patches and bug-fixes may not have been exploited yet, but they've been fixed before they have been exploited. Do you think Microsoft, Oracle, or other large companies would just let buffer overflows remain in their product until they've been exploited? Would that be practicing "due diligance/due care"?
You're correct. You must have admin access in order to capture traffic on a network further upstream. That administrative access can either be granted by the organization, or obtained via unauthorized means. This thread wasn't meant to say "Hey, you ARE being listened to.", it's to let you know that "Hey, there's a potential for people to listen further up stream."
I believe if I go through all the posts in this thread that i've made, i've stated that upstream providers can listen to your traffic, not people running a sniffer in singapore on their local machine, listening to their own traffic. that individual must have access to the packets that's traversing your upstream provider's network.
I'll have to draw up a Visio drawing and post it to illustrate my statements. There has been a few misunderstandings, and violent agreements relating to points I'm trying to bring to the public's attention.
