NONOH – NO Security

Posted by Prabhu Beeman on July 8, 2008

I stay away from India and had to use some cheap voip service to call back home.

I used nonoh, pretty cheap so you have to compromise on the quality.

Well, i realized very recently that i need to compromise even on the security aspect of it.

When I login to the application they are passing the username and password as part of the url (a GET request). Well, the username and password is encrypted. But it didn’t take me more than 10 secs to know that they use ROT13. Probably might help you protect from lame users but not from the ever watching nerds.
