Subject: [asterisk-users] Hack attempt sequential config file read looking for 
valid files.

I "justed" happened to look at /var/log/messages...

I saw:
Apr 21 12:18:40 in.tftpd[22719]: RRQ from 69.64.57.18 filename 0004f2034f6b.cfg
Apr 21 12:18:40 in.tftpd[22719]: Client 69.64.57.18 File not found 
0004f2034f6b.cfg
Apr 21 12:18:40 in.tftpd[22720]: RRQ from 69.64.57.18 filename 0004f2034f6c.cfg
Apr 21 12:18:40 in.tftpd[22720]: Client 69.64.57.18 File not found 
0004f2034f6c.cfg
Apr 21 12:18:40 in.tftpd[22721]: RRQ from 69.64.57.18 filename 0004f2034f6d.cfg
Apr 21 12:18:40 in.tftpd[22721]: Client 69.64.57.18 File not found 
0004f2034f6d.cfg
Apr 21 12:18:40 in.tftpd[22722]: RRQ from 69.64.57.18 filename 0004f2034f6e.cfg

so basically an sequential read of polycom MAC address config files.
Some is trying to read to determine if I have any polycom files just sequential 
read after read.
And if so - it would get any extension and password at that time.
Luckily I have none.

However - how does one block attempts like this ?

Thanks!

Jerry


Jerry,
Can you change to FTP Provisioning, or HTTPS etc? Atleast with FTP you can set 
a user/pass to your directory with mac.cfg to prevent open access.
