[VOIPSEC] Soft Phone Vulnerabilities

[Hallam-Baker, Phillip]

The book itself is probably more notable for the examples it gives of when crowds go wrong: the challenger disaster, the september 11 attacks. 

There is plenty of revisionism that has gone on recently on the subject of tulipmania which is odd because we all observed one not so long ago.
