Spotlight Story
VOIP Eavesdropping with OREKA

This is Network World's Cisco Subnet news alert in which we focus on the top items from Cisco Subnet, your daily source for Cisco news, blogs, discussion items, security alerts, giveaways and more.

But without a doubt, eavesdropping is a great demo to do at a trade show or customer pre-sales call. Man, the purchase orders will just start flying out of pockets! Let's just get real here, eavesdropping is a very time consuming process for a low yield. Personally, I will take email over voice for information stealing."
