[Asterisk-Users] Can bad person with SIPp attack Asterisk ?

[Robert Rozman]

Hi,

I was more concerned about SIP calls. SIPp is a tool that can do test load
for Asterisk PBX - it can generate lots of SIP paralel calls to Asterisk. I
wonder if this is something that bad person could use to cripple Asterisk
server ?

Regards,

Robert.
