Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for detecting security exposures of Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) devices. One of the methods includes obtaining data identifying a source Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with a communication device that has been provisioned with configuration files for VOIP services; determining that a VOIP phone configuration interface is exposed over an untrusted network at the source IP address; and determining that the communication device associated with the source IP address has a security exposure based at least in part on determining that the VOIP phone configuration interface is exposed over the untrusted network at the source IP address.
