VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS
Finding Holes in Your PBX Before Someone
Else Does
The
Private Branch Exchange (PBX) is an essential
element that supports the critical infrastructure
of both government agencies and U.S. industry.
A PBX is a sophisticated computer-based
switch that can be thought of as essentially
a small, in-house phone company for the
organization that operates it. Protection
of the PBX is thus a high priority. Failure
to secure a PBX can result in exposing
the organization to toll fraud, theft
of proprietary or confidential information,
and loss of revenue or legal entanglements.
This report presents a generic methodology
for conducting an analysis of a Private
Branch Exchange (PBX) in order to identify
security vulnerabilities. The report focuses
on digitalbased PBXs and addresses the
following areas for study:
· System Architecture
· Hardware
· Maintenance
· Administrative Database/Software
· User Features
This report is not intended to provide
a step-by-step process, but rather a guideline
forwhat specific areas should be studied
for the existence of possible vulnerabilities.
This process must be customized for each
specific PBX, depending upon the actual
switch features as well as the perceived
threat.
Note
that some of the analysis methods described
here may require instruments or expertise
not available in all organizations. Individual
judgment will be required to determine if
the organization’s risk is sufficient
to warrant obtaining additional assistance.
