Hi, Got some great news a few days ago from Sandro Gauci (@SandroGauci) and we'll be talking about this with him this Friday at 1PM. SIPVicious, the free security tools for SIP scanning, now include a new tool: svcrash. It is aimed at helping system administrators stop bandwidth consuming scans making use of svwar and svcrack. Here is the announcement on SIPViscious blog: http://blog.sipvicious.org/2010/06/how-to-crash-sipvicious-introducing.html Video demo: http://vimeo.com/12744376 Download link: http://code...

Dear mailing list, I've a Asterisk 1.4.21.2~dfsg-3+lenny1 package installed on my debian and I've a strange behavior. After some days running normally, my asterisk is under heavy attack, however, there is nothing logged in the console (logging from debug -> error) or file (level from notice ->error) I can see that there is also a peak on the network traffic. My first guess is that

Hi, I've recently had a fairly prolonged SIP registration attack, 18 hours in this case and often with 200 attempts per second, and suspect I've had a number of these in the past. The main symptom I noticed previously was, because Asterisk was responding to each registration request it received, it was very quickly using up my 448 kbps upload limit for my home ADSL connection: any

... using it as a tool and understanding what it does... So one part of it's toolset identifys valid SIP accounts - and I was under the impression that alwaysauthreject=yes was supposed to stop this... However, it sends a request for a highly probably non-existent account, then sends requests for probably existing accounts and I guess compares the results - account not found vs. bad
