UCSniff 3.0: Open Source VoIP & IP Video Sniffer

I read this CNET article headline with a bit of concern...

Demos to show spying on mobile IP calls

However, that concern was greatly reduced after I read this in the article: ...listen to the conversation of someone talking on an iPhone over an unsecured wireless network. The exploit targets smartphones that are using the SIP (session initiation protocol) for VoIP. Yes, this is definitely a problem if you are using SIP to condut a VoIP session in an open public hotspot. But, quite frankly, would you really conduct a sensitive conversation somewhere where real live human beings are nearby and can hear what you say with their flesh and blood ears?

That said, UCSniff is an interesting and important development. It is also open source and available to anyone from SourceForge.net:

Here's what its overview notes it is capable of:
