Hacking Exposed VoIP: Voice Over IP Security Secrets & Solutions (Hacking Exposed) 2 reviews David Endler, Mark Collier
McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2006
A great Hacking Exposed and VoIP security book
+ Invaluable VoIP Security Handbook
Hacking Exposed: VoIP (HE:V) is the sort of HE book I like. It's fashionable to think HE books are only suitable for script kiddies who run tools they don't understand against vulnerable services they don't recognize. I like HE books because the good ones explain a technology from a security ...

Blackjacking: Security Threats to BlackBerry Devices, PDAs, and Cell Phones in the Enterprise 3 reviews Daniel V. Hoffman
Wiley, 2007
