Joel, after sending my previous posts I did realize your points might
have some validity - and hence I owe you an apology - and that is if
you are a telco or hosted pbx provider then strict fail2ban is not
that good of a solution. While I was talking strictly from a PBX
vendors point of view, where fail2ban is a must and the answer to most
problems.

 everyone's systems were secure - there would be no gain in trying to exploit
 reasonably unexploitable systems.

nothing new here, this is just the digital equivalent of a wats line

the difference is code guessing can be a lot more aggressive now, and 
finding the inbound path is simpler.

Each system needs to be configured according to its purpose and needs.
Simply these are phone systems, not e-mail or web servers.  You may want to
be able to get mail from (almost) anywhere in the world, same for web
services.

But for a phone system you may have very different needs.  One can visualize
the differences between a national or international VOIP provider, a 4
person office in Little Rock, AR, a local SIP provider in Houston, TX and an
international sales company with offices in Rome Italy.

A small sip system used with an upstream VOIP provider should be invisible
to 99.% of the world's population. (Excepting any other trusted peers.)

If there was a wide spread peering network and an individual system
wanted/needed to access and be accessed like email then it would be a
different world.  We could all be robo-call spammed just like email. :-(

But leaving small systems open for attack from 99. percent of the world
is just begging for trouble.

2010-11-01 Thread Zeeshan Zakaria
Its going on and on and on. Nothing like this has happened before. I have
several hundreds by now. Make me wish Internet was a more regulated place.
Its a place where bad people have the upper hand and good people cannot do
anything about it. I know incidences where spammers and attackers were tried
to be punished by genuine companies by doing DoS attacks on their zombie
machines and as a result these companies got so much DoS that they were left
with no choice other than to close their genuine and legal businesses.

And when even reputable companies like Amazon become part of this criminal
activity, and refuse to do anything against it, what can rest of us do?
Nothing, but suffer.

Unless main Internet routers will identify these attackers and block their
IPs, there is no real way to control this criminal activity.

Finding and punishing the abusers is the real problem, specially when in my
country (Canada) where we generally don't like punishing people (or they get
away finding loop holes in the law, or thanks to their lawyers), how would
we catch people in other parts of the world and punish them? Apparently
wilderness of the Internet is protected by law and law makers everywhere
want to keep it this way.

They were trolling for SIP account IDs, not really trying to register.
It was a coordinated bot or spoofed source attack not The Halloween Club
doing tricks.

Any small system should:

Use IPTABLES and block any parts of the world you don't need access to/from.
Start with any Class A address that is probing your system.

Make your SIP IDs 8-12 characters in length, and use at least alpha 
numerical characters, some special characters if you like a little more
variety.

 bear3579
 b3e5a7r9
 Bear3579
 La3579ke

Or more.

Do the same for passwords.

6543office
7659home

Etc.

Are these perfect?  No, but they are human friendly, and require the
exploiter to hack a 16 to 24 character combination ID and Password that has
36 or more characters in the character set.  Of course some dashes or
periods or commas or others can be added.  And when you see an attack if it
isn't from a network on your planet, put the whole network in IPTABLES.

(And get the world country delegations for IP addresses and block all not
on your planet.)

I've just created a resource on voip-info.org that contains all of the

'iptables' format. Please don't apply this list in it's entirety without 
understanding that you will be blocking a LOT of potential [ab]users.

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/allocated-class-a-ip-address-blocks

So you can 'pick and choose' which parts of the world you want to

It's a pretty broad brush and I'm sure it could use some refinement and 
correction, but attempts on my client's systems have just about

I know there was talk on VUC recently about some kind of realtime RBL for
SIP. Has anything progressed?

It would be SO easy for asterisk users to contribute to a blacklist and also
do a lookup in realtime to see if an IP has been blacklisted.
 A little bit of joined up thinking in the community could eliminate this
issue. Would also be another major + for Asterisk as a platform..

Some systems need to communicate with the world.

 

Other only with their own network, and a few selected outside addresses.

 

If anyone from Amsterdam or Nigeria or Malaysia (and 100 other countries) is
trying to get on our system, we are surprised!  Vail Colorado, not so much.

Be careful, telcos may make the users responsible if they have insecure 
PBXes...right now they often write off much of the charges.

But I do agree that there would be a lot less garbage on the net if everyone 
was liable for their insecurity. Heck, there would be no SIP attacks if 
everyone's systems were secure - there would be no gain in trying to exploit 
reasonably unexploitable systems.

you must have a great telco - around here even credits that are agreed

than the credit is worth.
