Security Alert : bridged vmware guest can sniff host, guest peers, and vice versa
On a CentOS 5/i386 server, I set up an Asterisk server recently in a VMWARE guest running CentOS 4.4/i386. The VMWare guest is set to use bridged networking and to obtain its TCP/IP settings from the same DHCP server used by the host server. I installed X-lite softphone from Counterpath on the host server, and configured it as a SIP extension to talk to another SIP extension on my wife’s Windows XP laptop.
