[asterisk-users] Asterisk secure fine tune - stop attack

[Eric Wieling]

If we don't need to allow access from outside the USA we block access from all non-ARIN IP addresses by using iptables.   This takes care of at least 80% of attacks.

I enabled guest access and pointed all guest calls to an IVR which auto disconnects the call after a while (2 min seems good) if there is no response.   That took care of most of the remaining attacks.

I'm considering enabling auto create peer and routing calls to the same IVR as above.

We also use fail2ban, but mostly for non-SIP attacks.

Before enabling any guest access be ABSOLUTELY SURE you know how to do it without causing security issues.

dont forgot to put your "trusted IPs" into "ignoreip" list while configuring fail2ban

its very important when a customer (may be 100+ extns) are behind NAT and only present single public IP

Hi A J,
believe me, I wish i do as you suggested, however I have a few extensions outside the office with dynamic IPs, so that is not a possibility. Thanks for your suggestions, I will try fail2ban. I don't know how complicated is to implement that on production server.

Thanks,
-Motty

Instead of blocking unwanted IPs, you should be permitting only wanted IPs.
