abstract = {Nowadays telephony has developed to an omnipresent service. Furthermore
the Internet has emerged to an important communication medium. These
facts and the raising availability of broadband internet access have
led to the fusion of these two services. VoIP is the keyword that
describes this combination.
Furthermore it is undeniable that one of the most annoying facets
of the Internet nowadays is email spam, which is considered to be
80 to 90 percent of the email traffic produced.
The threat of so called voice spam or Spam over Internet Telephony
is even more fatal than the threat that arose with email spam, for
the annoyance and disturbance factor is much higher. From the pro-viders
point of view both email spam and voice spam produce unwanted traffic
and loss of trust of customers into the service.
In this paper we discuss how SPIT attacks can be put into practice,
than we point out advantages and disadvantages of state of the art
anti voice spam solutions. With the knowledge provided in this paper
and with our SPIT producing attack tool, it is possible for an administrator,
to find out weak points of VoIP systems and for developers to rethink
SPIT blocking techniques.},
