Re: [asterisk-users] sip attacks

2011-07-31 Thread Robert-iPhone
hard to equate sip attack to ping performance.. Run mtr for a bit.
Also try tcpdump or wireshark or tethereal.
If you are really paranoid recycle all your passwords

Re: [asterisk-users] Securing Asterisk

2011-07-23 Thread Robert-iPhone
Such a pointless argument. The same problem can happen on any voip platform 
including freeswitch.
Again it's a knowledge thing.
BTW if you were paying attention to your logs or practiced good admin skills 
you would have seen the attacks and stopped them.
I swear by fail2ban and other hardening techniques. If you honestly think you 
can just run the box out in the open after running a yum / apt or
rpm command you are in the wrong position.
Know this is going to sound harsh but you deserve the pay cut if not 
termination.

Re: [asterisk-users] Cisco IP Phones and Skinny in asterisk

2011-06-21 Thread Robert-iPhone
wow I think someone needs to just spend some time reading and playing. Getting 
these phones working is not rocket science and there are similarities with how 
to do firmware / config pushes.

Not to sound mean but RTFM

Re: [asterisk-users] Ground Start ATA / VOIP Gateway

2011-06-14 Thread Robert-iPhone
exactly my other concern - can just drop sip card in and put on the net - would 
also have to get an sbc - which would be more than an ATA.
considering just using a cisco router (low end XM) and throwing a high density 
voice card in it

Re: [asterisk-users] Cisco IP Phones and Skinny in asterisk

2011-06-13 Thread Robert-iPhone
I also had trouble w/ these phones at first. There was a DHCP option (?81?) 
you'll have to google it.
The phones would not talk to tftp until I set dhcp option.
The console aux cable is easy to build and VERY useful
