VOIP in Cyber Defence Competition

Over the course of three day March 7-9, four college teams participated in the 3rd annual Mid-Atlantic Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition. This is a nation wide competition that gives full time college students an opertunity to defend simulated real world business assest such as web, email and domain servers and services just to name a few from professional grey hat and penitration testers. This was the first year for VOIP and I am happy to say it was a big hit with everyone involved.

The VOIP component of the competition involved each team being given a working and configured asterisk box and two Cisco 7960 SIP phones connected to a simulated provider. The simulated provider was in fact an OpenSER registrar running in VMware with full 10 digit dialing. This will be a continued and developed part of the competition for years to come. I wanted to take a moment to thank the people of VOIPUSER.ORG for their help and assistance with getting thought learning SER and OpenSER.

I invite everyone to take a look at: http://www.nationalccdc.org for more on the event.

That looks a really interesting event jerniman! good stuff.

Would be interested to hear more of your config (and protection you employ as part of your openser instance) after the event (so as not to give the game away!)
