[Freeswitch-users] send fax via google voice.

[Ken Rice]

Whats the old saying? Ignorance is bliss? Heh

Just because and end user perceives it as being more secure doesn¹t make it
so... Even faxing over voip you just tcpdump out the rtp and process it thru
and you can recover then entire exchange... Same thing with a laptop, a
sound card, and a wav recorder with a cheap passive phone tap... Only
difference with legacy PSTN vs VoIP is its easier to hack a box somewhere
along the way and intercept the traffic vs finding the trunk line carrying
the traffic, however, it doesn¹t take long to figure out that there are tons
of unsecure access points to the wire between your office and the CO...
(even the fiber these days can be compromised relatively easily compared to
what it was 10 years ago)

My whole point here is I am not malicious when it comes to this sort of
thing but I know what can be done and how cheap the technology to pull off
these things really is. I smart but I am far from the smartest guy and if I
can figure out how to do this stuff many people can figure it out...

I¹m still say that the only secure computer is one fired into the sun on the
tip of a rocket with no comms back to earth.. Then that¹s only secure until
someone figures out how to retrieve it.
