so I reached sector 16A by 4:00pm and was looking was the “Times Internet Limited” however there was no such building… I realised that after having walked for 3 kms around the same building… so I showed the exact address to one of gaurds (you will see a lot of them if you are in this area). He could locate where the plot FC-6 is.. so i had to walk back the entire boundary wall to reach the enterance gate of Times India Limited. (not times internet limited). So finally i confirmed with the gaurds of the building weather tlabs was in the same building or not they said it was and I was finally relaxed! I reached the place, it was huge…looked almost like a 5 star hotel’s reception. So when i entered the first floor they gave me a slip which was required for exit. :O So when I reached the lab the Tlabs the entire room was larger than the auditorium we have at MSIT. I was a bit nervous then getting to question myself …weather my presentation would be good enough.. are they gonna like it… But man awesome building. :D So now I had talk with my friend who motivated me to go there and just do it… so I just went there… and actually there were two events going on simultaneously some hacking event and our meet… that mean have of the crowd was actually going to be my audience…

aah there i saw mr. Aseem…. pulled up a chair.. and sat near the “group”. Now in the large room… there were only around 15 people who had come for the meet…so it more of a drawing room chit chat kind of a thing.. we had been bags sofas and chairs… in the shape of a U facing this LED tv where we were supposed to connect the laptop to give the presentation.. The first part of the presentation was Newsbyte … it was basically the “new stuff” and “update” section. I liked the part… the guy delivered his part nicely. :) Then there was a problem that we did not have much time for two presentations …hence only one of the two speakers me or shubham bhaiya could speak… So mr. aseem asked the duration of our presentations and my presentation was a shorter one so I was told to give it :) So i just got up and connected my laptop and started with my thing… now this presentation was different from any presentation i have ever given… i could see people understanding what i am saying :D that was nice…. plus yes.. i perhaps was the only one who was from college here… other people who came here were already working at different places… But offcourse my presentation was different… off beat… hence deserved the small round of applause :) So i did what i was here to do… then came back to my seat… and we started discussing about “things” and “stuff” :D Was a nice experience all together… Just that the duration was really less… we were actually almost kicked out of the building :D But i liked the whole concept of hackers meeting like this and presenting stuff …talking about security.. developments in the industry and the problems they are facing .. :) was cool really cool. Apart from that I also made good friends… the nice nature hackers.

I am not sure if you stumbled upon this post from the archive or reached here by a search. But I am going to be verbose anyways :D

Asterisk is an open source PBX. Well i would say its too less to call it as just a PBX. It has immense potential it can do things so easily and so correctly that it is actually an unparalleled solution for PBXs. Ohkay if you are wondering what a PBX is it is those system you see in offices, where the receptionist dials one and the call is transferred to another guy. So why am I playing around with this thing… ? Well there is this one very annoying thing, rather a concept called as the “5th semeseter Project”. Exactly thats why.! :

Now for the project I could have joined some course and could have easily got a project from that institution…. But I did not like that…I did not want that… I had to go for a training in hacking and so I went for ECSA (EC COUNCIL Certified Security Analyst). Well, now I had to make a project that was related to my training and hence hacking… Shit! You give me a server and ask me to do a penetration testing I would do that…but writing a PROJECT… it seemed like the world is ending. :D

But then there was this awesome friend of mine. Mr. Vipul Bhojwani who asked me if i had an IVR solution. I did not know what that was… so I googled. Interactive Voice Respone….no i did not have a solution for that. So I asked him what does he wish to do.. He said he wants to set it up on gmail! Fuck. Wont that be awesome if someone calls you on gmail and you have an IVR set up there… yes it would be!!

I wanted that…. i started this from the scratch… and after 1 hour of googling i realized that this was possible only if i had a google voice number(which turns out to be incorrect)… which obviously i couldnt as I am in India. But every time i searched IVR on google there were results that let me to asterisk.org. I was curious that maybe somehow i can atleast complete it till the point i am not asked for a google voice number. So i downloaded asterisk. :D
And successfully configured it. Now the very next day i had a class on VOIP penetration testing at my training so I should my trainer what i had set up…. That is i should him how i could make free VOIP calls within the subnet. So he told me to intercept the call. WHAT!!!

yes he told me to capture what to guys were talking ….something like phone tapping . So i did that ..infact was a piece of cake …and here was my project born. :)
So I am making a project now on different vulnerabilites of a PBX system and the associated protocols and offcourse the ways to fix those issues. I am writing in the first person…i think that is the correct way… and i am being reaallllyyyy verbose… who so ever gets the project will be able to make such a system. I hope things work fine… I am doing a lot of reading for this… Getting to learn about new protocols day by day…
