What is VoIP?

nelson — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 05:34:01 +0000

What is VoIP? Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is the ability to transmit voice over the Internet to either a receiving computer, telephone or even a mobile phone. VoIP phone is becoming the popular worldwide telephone service for both consumer and the business communities. VoIP works by using a network technology known as Packet Switching Network whereas landline telephones use the Circuit Switching Network. This is referred to as the Public Switched Telephone Network.

What’s the difference between VoIP normal phones?

The main difference between Packet Switching and Circuit Switching, is that Packet Switching uses (data) or Packets and sends them over the Internet while Circuit Switching is accomplished by using electrical circuits to make a telephone connection. Circuit Switching is like the old switchboard operators, frantically trying to connect the right caller with the receiver. Packet Switching is used to transfer data all across the Internet including E-mail. Packet Switching converts audio formats into data packets and transmits them over the Internet, then reassembles them on the other person’s phone or computer in real time. By using a Broadband Internet Connection, microphone and speakers a conversation can take place similar to traditional telephone.

VoIP phones have been round for sometime, but increases in technology it is becoming increasingly popular. Several years ago many applications were available offering some form of free VoIP phone service. Majority of these have gone or now charge a fee for the use of their service as VoIP phone provider. Moreover, VoIP is developing higher standards of quality every day, and it has proved that it is a viable force for telecommunication for the future.

Who is providing VoIP phone service?

Telephone and Internet service provider companies are expanding to allow for monthly VoIP phone services. Companies such as AOL, Verizon and Sprint have VoIP phone offerings. Recently eBay has joined the ranks of VoIP phone service providers by purchasing skype VoIP software, with its vast membership base the VoIP message will soon reach the man on the street.

What’s special about VoIP?

Instant messaging programs such as MSN massager have been using VoIP technology for years. Now, most of these messaging programs come with voice enabled features which allow you to call a member of your buddy list. By using a microphone and speakers, you will be able to converse anywhere in the world, by VoIP and your Instant Messaging program.

With instant messaging VoIP incorporates different areas into one program. With your voice enabled programs, you can hook up a digital camera,web cam and use video, while you are speaking on your microphone and listening to on your speakers, and you can type back and forth with your chat program. You could even write an email at the same time. The potential for VoIP phones use is nearly limitless.

VoIP has this unique ability to integrate many forms of telecommunication applications into one package can handle data, audio, video, E-Mail, and web based applications simultaneously. This makes VoIP an incredible boost to business world and provides a cost effective choice of telephone service.

VoIP phone service providers are increasing in popularity with many people discovering all of the benefits available to them by switching from using their land line telephones to VoIP service. First, VoIP phone services costs significantly less than standard phone service, and this is a great attraction for bringing in new customers. Many VoIP phone plans will let you make unlimited long distance calls or provide you with a plan for very inexpensive rates. Many of the features that are often included for a fee with traditional phone service are often included for free with VoIP services. Features such as Call Waiting, Call Block, Call Forwarding, Conference Calling, Voice Mail are usually charged as extras by the traditional phone companies but these are usually free with the VoIP phone packages.Another benefit to VoIP services is that you can usually keep your existing phone number, or allow you to select a new area code. The means if you select an area where most of your friends and family live, a call to you will be treated as local call. For a remote business VoIP service can give the perception of having multiple office locations.

What’s the future for VoIP ?

Make no mistake about it VoIP phone services is a the emerging contender in the telecommunication world.It is a proven technology, can seamlessly integrate into many existing applications, does not require special equipment anyone with a PC with a microphone and speakers can use the service and it is very cost effective. Talk will be cheap!

Redtube - Redtube P0RN site “hacked”

Redtube.COM

Redtube - Redtube.com Hacked!

When i was searching for a Redtube forums, i saw in one blog that Redtube was hacked by NetDevilz.

According to some article, the Redtube was hacked by a “Turkish Cyber Terrorists” who hates “P0RN” or dont like P0RN. So they hacked the largest P0RN database on the Internet, Redtube.

It was reported that, when you visit the page, you will only get “Hacked by”.. but Redtube’s embeds were still there so the contents were still active.

HOWTO: Debian Etch Apache2 + SSL

nelson — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 20:46:46 +0000

Introduction: Howto Apache2 + SSL Installation

This tutorial will teach you how to install and configure Apache2 + SSL for Debian Etch. The installation is straightforward. You can just copy pasted the commands below:

Install apache2 in debian etch

#apt-get install apache2

Install openssl using the following command

#apt-get install openssl ssl-cert

Install PHP5 support for apache2 in debian etch

#apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 php5-cli php5-common php5-cgi

Once you install apache server you need to Generate a certificate,Enable Apache SSL support and Configure your SSL options.

Generate A certificate

Generating a certificate will provide to protect the traffic exchanged between clients and your server, however it will be unsigned by a trusted certificate authority so it will generate warnings.

If you want to avoid these warning messages you need to get a trusted certificate from SSL certificate vendors.If you want to Generating an SSL certificate for Apache2 you need to use the openssl. This will ask you questions interactively then generate the certificate file appropriately.

Note:-For generating certificate you might have used the apache2-ssl-certificate command in debian sarge but in debian etch this command not available.If you want to generate certificates you need to use openssl from you command prompt Use the following command to generate certificates

#openssl req $@ -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -out /etc/apache2/apache.pem -keyout /etc/apache2/apache.pem

Generating a 1024 bit RSA private key

………………………………………….++++++

…………………………………….++++++

writing new private key to ‘/etc/apache2/apache.pem’

You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your certificate request. What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN. There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank.

For some fields there will be a default value, If you enter ‘.’, the field will be left blank.
—–
Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:GB

State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:

Locality Name (eg, city) []:London

Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]:Debian

Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:

Common Name (eg, YOUR name) []:

Email Address []:

This will complete the certificate now you need to make sure you have the correct permissions for .pem file if not use the following command to set the correct permissions

#chmod 600 /etc/apache2/apache.pem

By default the server will listen for incoming HTTP requests on port 80 - and not SSL connections on port 443. So you need to enable SSL support by entering the following entry to the file /etc/apache2/ports.conf save and exit the file.

Listen 443

Enable SSL Support
If you want to enable SSL support for your apache web server you need to use the following comamnd

#a2enmod ssl

Module ssl installed; run /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload to enable.

Now you need to restart the apache2 server using the following command

#/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Configuring SSL Certificate to Virtual Hosts in Apache2

First you need to edit the /etc/apache2/sites-available/default file change

NameVirtualHost *

NameVirtualHost *:80
NameVirtualHost *:443
Now you need to configure Virtual hosts using port 80
Example
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
.
.
.
configure Virtual hosts using port 443 the main difference is you need to use the following two lines for each SSL hosts.

SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/apache.pem
Example
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
.
.
.
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/apache.pem
Now you need to restrat your apache web server using the following comamnd

#/etc/init.d/apache2 reload

Reloading web server config… XXXX

HOWTO: Debian VPN PPTP

nelson — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 18:34:12 +0000

This tutorial will guide you how to install and configure VPN PPTP in Debian Etch. The installation is straightforward.

Note: Make sure that your VPN Server has two Network Interface Card (NIC). One for Outside Interface (where the public IP is configured) and the other is INSIDE interface (where your LAN IP is configured)

Introduction

What is PPTP? Short for Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol, a new technology for creating Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) , developed jointly by Microsoft Corporation, U.S. Robotics, and several remote access vendor companies, known collectively as the PPTP Forum. A VPN is a private network of computers that uses the public Internet to connect some nodes. Because the Internet is essentially an open network, the Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is used to ensure that messages transmitted from one VPN node to another are secure. With PPTP, users can dial in to their corporate network via the Internet.

PPTP is known to be less secure than other VPN software, but if you need a quick solution for a VPN server that will connect out of the box from Windows workstations PPTP is the obvious choice. This post will show how easy it is to setup a pptp vnp server on Debian Etch.

Installation

apt-get install pptp

(this will install also some dependencies: bcrelay and ppp). The default pptpd configuration file is installed under /etc/pptpd.conf ; you can change any of the available options (samples are included in the configuration file as comments), but really the only thing that needs to be configured is the ip of the local server used by pptpd as the local gateway for the remote hosts and the remote users assigned ips:

localip 192.168.1.1 remoteip 192.168.1.100-120

here we will use the local ip 192.168.1.1 as the pptpd ip and the remote users will be allocated the first available ip from the range 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.120 (meaning we can have a maximum of 20 simultaneous vpn users connected to this pptp server). These ips are assigned based on the particular setup, being either a pair of private ips (just like in my example above) or even real ips.

The debian package also uses the file /etc/ppp/pptpd-options containing the main pptpd server configs. A typical config will look like this:

name My.VPN-PPTP

refuse-pap
refuse-chap
refuse-mschap
require-mschap-v2
require-mppe-128
ms-dns 192.168.1.1
proxyarp
nodefaultroute
lock
nobsdcomp
noipx
mtu 1490
mru 1490

# client server secret IP addressesuser * password *

and look for the logs under /var/log/syslog to troubleshoot any problems.

You can now connect to your new PPTP VPN server using the built-in pptp vpn client from any modern windows workstation (except probably vista that is broken by sp1) using the default connection settings.

OpenVZ: Debian Etch Install

nelson — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 10:23:01 +0000

This tutorial will show you how to install OpenVZ in Debian Etch System. The installation is straightforward and you can just do copy and paste.

Introduction: What is OpenVZ

From the website:

OpenVZ is container-based virtualization for Linux. OpenVZ creates multiple secure, isolated containers (otherwise known as VEs or VPSs) on a single physical server enabling better server utilization and ensuring that applications do not conflict. Each container performs and executes exactly like a stand-alone server; a container can be rebooted independently and have root access, users, IP addresses, memory, processes, files, applications, system libraries and configuration files. For more information about the technology and how it differs from the others like Xen, VMware etc., see introduction to virtualization, doc/openvz-intro.pdf (73 KB) or wikipedia:OpenVZ.

OpenVZ is free open source software, available under GNU GPL.

OpenVZ is the basis of Parallels Virtuozzo Containers, a commercial virtualization solution offered by Parallels. OpenVZ project is supported by Parallels.

asterisk88:~# mysql_setpermission
Password for user to connect to MySQL:
######################################################################
## Welcome to the permission setter 1.3 for MySQL.
## made by Luuk de Boer
######################################################################
What would you like to do:
1. Set password for an existing user.
2. Create a database + user privilege for that database
and host combination (user can only do SELECT)
3. Create/append user privilege for an existing database
and host combination (user can only do SELECT)
4. Create/append broader user privileges for an existing
database and host combination
(user can do SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE)
5. Create/append quite extended user privileges for an
existing database and host combination (user can do
SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,CREATE,DROP,INDEX,
LOCK TABLES,CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES)
6. Create/append database administrative privileges for an
existing database and host combination (user can do
SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,CREATE,DROP,INDEX,LOCK TABLES,
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES,SHOW DATABASES,PROCESS)
7. Create/append full privileges for an existing database
and host combination (user has FULL privilege)
8. Remove all privileges for for an existing database and
host combination.
(user will have all permission fields set to N)
0. exit this program

Make your choice [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,0]: 5

Which database from existing databases would you like to select:
You can choose from:
- information_schema
- asterisk
- mysql
Which database will it be (case sensitive). Type * for any:
asterisk >
The database asterisk will be used.

What username is to be created: administrator
Username = administrator
Would you like to set a password for administrator [y/n]: y
What password do you want to specify for administrator:
Type the password again:
We now need to know from what host(s) the user will connect.
Keep in mind that % means ‘from any host’ …
The host please: %
Would you like to add another host [yes/no]: no
Okay we keep it with this …
The following host(s) will be used: %.
######################################################################

That was it … here is an overview of what you gave to me:
The database name : asterisk
The username : administrator
The host(s) : %
######################################################################

Are you pretty sure you would like to implement this [yes/no]: yes
Okay … let’s go then …

Everything is inserted and mysql privileges have been reloaded.

Make your choice [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,0]: 0

Now lets test the connection:

VoiceMaster Installation

nelson — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 07:58:34 +0000

For those users who has a voicemaster image (crack version). This howto will show you how to install VoiceMaster-.tar.bz2 on a new machine.

1. Prepare the Machine where VM to be install.

Hardware Requirements:

. Pentium 4 3GHz or better
. 1 GB of RAM or Higher
. 10/100 LAN Card
. 80 GB of IDE Hardisk

Download and get VoiceMaster Image (copy and paste this in the Internet Browser)

VoiceMaster-2.01SF.tar.bz2

2. Download and Burn gentoo Linux

. http://bouncer.gentoo.org/?product=gentoo-2006.0-minimal&os=x86

3. Boot from Gentoo Linux on the new machine.

Set up networking:

4. Type the ff: command:

gentoo# ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

gentoo# passwd
Enter new UNIX password: gentoo
Retype new UNIX password: gentoo
passwd: password updated successfully
gentoo#
gentoo# /etc/init.d/sshd start

4. Partition the Hardisk.

Make sure to delete all partition first:
livecd root # fdisk /dev/hda
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 4865.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:

1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)

2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs

(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Debian: OpenSer Installation

nelson — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 05:23:06 +0000

This tutorial will teach you how to install and run OpenSer as quickly as possible under Debian Etch Linux: Other Linux Distribution can also use this tutorial.

Introduction:

From the website.

OpenSER is a project spawned from FhG FOKUS SIP Express Router (SER). The reason for this new venture is the lack of progressing and contributions to the SER project from the other SER team members as well as the reticence to new contributions from project’s community members. We want to accelerate the integration of public contributions to the SER project.

OpenSER promotes a new management policy (OPEN) -for new code acceptance and code-through propagation- and development approach -design and architecture. We have decided to bring more dynamics into SIP world by creating this new project that can benefit of TLS and so many other contributions. We welcome your contributions to the success of this project.

The project is managed by three of SER developers: Bogdan-Andrei Iancu (core developer of SER), Daniel-Constantin Mierla (core developer of SER) and Elena-Ramona Modroiu (main contributor of SER). You all like SER so we will do our best to maintain our exiting work and help the users of our solutions. We will therefore maintain close contacts with our former colleagues and SER project.

The project is leaded by OpenSER Management Board and its history is summarized here.

Download OpenSer:

wget http://www.openser.org/pub/openser/latest/bin/openser-1.3.2-notls_linux_i386.tar.gz

Installing OpenSer:

cd /usr/local
tar xvfz openser-1.3.2-notls_linux_i386.tar.gz -C /

Note: This will extract all openser packages in / and will store the necessary files in the correct directory.

Running OpenSer:

The startup script is found in /usr/local/bin/openserctl. To start OpenSer just type:

openserctl start / stop / restart

Thats it! Next is to learn how to configure OpenSer for your specific needs.

admin — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 11:02:22 +0000

This tutorial will show you how to install Asterisk 1.4 with H323 Support + G729 and G723 Codec.

1) Installing necessary Debian packages before installing Asterisk

aptitude update
aptitude upgrade

aptitude install ssh ntp screen

aptitude install build-essential libcurl3-dev libvorbis-dev libspeex-dev unixodbc unixodbc-dev libiksemel-dev flex xsltproc linux-headers-`uname -r` g++ libncurses5-dev libnewt-dev libusb-dev subversion git-core flex bison

2) Get the stable release of Asterisk, Libpri and Zaptel

cd /usr/src
wget http://downloads.digium.com/pub/asterisk/asterisk-1.4-current.tar.gz
wget http://downloads.digium.com/pub/zaptel/zaptel-1.4-current.tar.gz
wget http://downloads.digium.com/pub/libpri/libpri-1.4-current.tar.gz
wget http://downloads.digium.com/pub/asterisk/asterisk-addons-1.4-current.tar.gz

tar xvzf asterisk-1.4-current.tar.gz && tar xvzf zaptel-1.4-current.tar.gz && tar xvzf libpri-1.4-current.tar.gz && tar xvzf asterisk-addons-1.4-current.tar.gz tar

a) Installing Zaptel

cd /usr/src/zaptel-1.4*
./install_prereq test
./install_prereq install
./configure
make
make install
make config
modprobe ztdummy

b) Installing Libpri

cd /usr/src/libpri-1.4*
make && make install

c) Installing Asterisk

cd /usr/src/asterisk-1.4*

./configure

Comment: The next step is not mandatory. To install core and extra sounds in different languages:

make menuselect

Comment: Select the core-sounds you would like to play and extra sounds. Exit with “x” to save.

make
make install
make samples
make config
asterisk -vvvc
stop now
echo “ztdummy” >> /etc/modules

Note: If you make a mistake and/or the compilation fails, you need to run:

make clean

then

./configure

and

make install

again.

Reboot and test if the system startup is correct.

reboot
asterisk -r
exit

d) Installing Asterisk Addons

cd /usr/src/asterisk-addons*
./configure && make && make install
make samples

3) Installing H323 Support

//dirty hack to prevent error from missing file
cd /usr/include/linux
touch compiler.h

//PWLIB
cd /usr/src
wget http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/openh323/pwlib-v1_10_0-src-tar.gz
tar zxvf pwlib-v1_10_0-src-tar.gz
cd pwlib_v1_10_0/
./configure
make && make install && make opt
PWLIBDIR=/usr/src/pwlib_v1_10_0 && export PWLIBDIR

//OpenH323
cd /usr/src
wget http://ovh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/openh323/openh323-v1_18_0-src-tar.gz
tar zxvf openh323-v1_18_0-src-tar.gz
cd openh323_v1_18_0/
./configure && make && make opt && make install
OPENH323DIR=/usr/src/openh323_v1_18_0/ && export OPENH323DIR

cd /usr/src/asterisk/channels/h323/
make && make opt
cd /usr/src/asterisk
./configure && make && make install

echo “/usr/local/lib” >> /etc/ld.so.conf && ldconfig

//or similar way

//cp /usr/local/lib/* /usr/lib

Binaries
• choose codec binary appropriate for your Asterisk version and CPU type, use x86_64 for 64-bit mode, scroll to the end of the list for FreeBSD binaries
• delete old codec_g729/723*.so files (if any) from /usr/lib/asterisk/modules directory
• copy new codec_g729/723*.so files into /usr/lib/asterisk/modules directory
• restart Asterisk
• check the codec is loaded with ‘core show translation recalc 10′ on Asterisk console (’show translation’ in Asterisk 1.2)
• G.723.1 send rate is configured in Asterisk codecs.conf file (Linux Asterisk 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, TRUNK and Callweaver, FreeBSD 7.x Asterisk 1.4 binaries only):
• [g723]
• ; 6.3Kbps stream, default
• sendrate=63
• ; 5.3Kbps
;sendrate=53
This option is for outgoing voice stream only. It does not affect incoming stream that should be decoded automatically whatever the bitrate is.

4) Installing G72X Codec (binary)
