The Black Hat conference, the great summit for network and application security closing today in Las Vegas, has issued a list of 13 newly released tools for securing VoIP telephony systems.

Each of the tools can be used to launch VoIP system attacks, such as overloading phones or VoIP exchanges with ambiguous traffic, flooding phones with calls, forcing hang-ups, rebooting phones, and reassigning the devices to other users or nobody at all, said to CNet Dave Endler, director of security research at TippingPoint.
