[asterisk-users] Why are the hackers scanning for these?

2010-11-07 Thread Steve Murphy
Hey, I'm going thru logs, and I see some very common and interesting things that the hackers are looking for. In a whole bunch of scans, I've noticed that the first guess or two for sip accounts is usually a 10-digit number. I'm asking myself, why these numbers? Are they looking for a voip trunk?

Here's some examples: 2648061411 3190339404 I'm getting exactly the same. Odds of getting a working number, are like the odds of winning the lottery. My guess is they are either trying to find a voip trunk, or they are trying to make cold calls to the extensions on my system. Sales or

My guess is they are looking for 10 digit phone numbers as extensions. Are they all from 1 IP address or from many? If from many, they are likely many serial scan or from a list of suspected VOIP numbers. If from one, and that random, then from a list of suspected VOIP numbers. Since

I believe this looks like a standard channel bank. Asterisk generates all audio. Ring and hook status are sent out of band. Dial tones are in-band. Ringback, busy, congestion are in-band audio. I would think a standard T1 card would be fine. That said, I would verify this with the LEC.
