How To Prevent External Ip Addresses Registering Asterisk
| | 2010-Nov-10 6:05 am [Asterisk] How to stop massive registration on asteriskDear All, I am new on asterisk. But here in my office we are using ASTERISK for some other process and i noticed that some ane is trying to send u.s. the bulk registrations with unlike id's for sip signaling port 5060 whereas those ids are non added in asterisk. Also i blocked the ip from which i was getting registration but now i saw he is sending with new ip's. As far as i know i cannot strict him to send with ip'south since he might be using the majority of ip's with different providers. For the fourth dimension being i blocked the signaling port 5060 for outsiders, but is at that place any mode in asterisk which can block this massive registration, bcoz till now its non effecting to me financially merely when i can getting the majority fake registration its consuming the resources and because of that other calls are effecting. Thank you in accelerate. Cheers, |

| | 2010-November-10 8:01 am Practise you require the need to accept people register to your asterisk server from the outside? If not, then but leave the port closed. Information technology is not needed for you lot to annals and take calls from your outside providers. Besides, do some searching here on this forum. There are some recent topics nearly this that have some great pointers on how to secure your arrangement. |

| | 2010-Nov-10 8:59 am Ditto if not needed dont open that port up or yous will come across all kinds of issues.. If you practice need remote users to register to your asterisk box block ALL port 5060 and only open to IP's y'all do know which would be those of your employees using outside IP phones on dsl, cablevision or other media etc. |

That must exist some crackers who tried to crack your Asterisk PBX System. Once cracked, they will sell your paid torso(due south) for others to identify free calls and let you pay for the calls. To circumvent this, disable ports forwarding on your NAT/Firewall router where your Asterisk PBX System is connected to. For the moment, this is your best armory to cake the intruders. The other option is to install the fail2ban utility. This will allow y'all to take the ports forwarding remains in use and volition ban the intruders IP Addresses that fail after the X corporeality of trials. My preference is to disable ports forwarding. Not only this is the simplest approach, merely too to finish the intruders by the NAT/Firewall router before they enter to my private LAN. |

| hoolahoous | 2010-Nov-x 1:35 pm If yous can, change the port from 5060 to something higher like 21032. That is very piece of cake to configure. |

My dwelling asterisk server on a Tomato router was also brutally attacked. On Nov. 1, there are over 100,000 registration attempts from 1 single IP from Asia. There are also many occasional hack attempts from different IP. I take some questions about this problem: 1. I am non sure how much risk I would take if the hacker succeed. My PBX is mainly for internal calls without VSP. I simply keep maximum $10 credit for Betamax. I am wondering if this is the limit of my loss if the hack succeed, or they can do more (unlimited) damage? 2. I understand the easiest style is to alter the port 5060 to some other port. But my family unit members and friends who use my PBX besprinkle effectually the world, and most of them are computer-illiterate and can not change the ATA's setting by themselves. So, I accept to keep the 5060 port. Fail2ban might be a good choice. For a router with limited memory (Asus wl500GP, does fail2ban work? 3. Most of hack IP are from Asia/Eastward Europe. Just 1 of the hack IP is from U. of Maryland, College Park. Should I complain to the ambassador of UM near this IP? Cheers a lot in advance. |

| hoolahoous | 2010-November-11 two:06 pm you normally put fail2ban on your linux machine not on router. if you take asterisk on router, then not sure. |

It seems that the port number fix for each client does non mean anything. I tried to set the default port as 5060, and client1 port equally 5080, if I register the client with xxx.xxx.twenty.x:5080, it volition not register, but information technology can with xxx.30.twenty.x:5060. The binding still shows as :5060. |

Yous damage volition exist minimal to betamax. However, if your line gets cracked and used by terrorists, there is a adventure you may get a visit from some men in black suite. 2. I sympathise the easiest mode is to change the port 5060 to some other port. Only my family members and friends who use my PBX scatter around the world, and most of them are computer-illiterate and tin can not change the ATA's setting by themselves. So, I have to proceed the 5060 port. Fail2ban might exist a good choice. For a router with limited retentiveness (Asus wl500GP, does fail2ban work? Fail2Ban uses Python scripting language and that requires more than CPU resources. I doubt fail2ban has been ported to tomato. I know OpenWRT doesn't accept fail2ban. Nonetheless, OpenWRT does support snort. 3. Most of hack IP are from Asia/East Europe. But one of the hack IP is from U. of Maryland, College Park. Should I mutter to the ambassador of UM virtually this IP? You should file a complain. |

| 1 edit | 2010-Nov-eleven 4:57 pm As well mentioned in the past merely not on this thread, I personally cannot stress enough the importance of adding this setting to your asterisk in the sip_custom.conf file: alwaysauthreject=yep This causes invalid login attempts to become a generic login unsuccessful bulletin, as opposed to getting letters like "invalid extension" or "invalid password". This thwarts crackers because what they typically do is throw extensions at your machine until they get a message saying the password is incorrect, thereby knowing the extension was valid. So they throw passwords at the valid extensions. With this setting on, they can't use this scheme to find out what the valid extensions are. I have fail2ban installed on my box, gear up to ban after 5 attempts, but in the six months or so since I added this setting, it's only banned 2 IPs. I believe this is because hackers come in, try 1 or two attempts, see the generic mistake message instead of a more specific one, and know they're not going to get anywhere and move on. I need to have my port open as I take remote users. My box gets several cracker attempts per twenty-four hours, but each ane makes only one or 2 successful tries, never reaching my fail2ban limit of five. |

The binding even so shows as :5060. that is weird. i had earlier tried clients on different ports and that works nicely (that was long time back). |

I did take this in the sip.conf file (in that location is no sip_custom.conf file in my server). In near cases, the hacker just tried one or two time and then give up, merely on Nov.1, they simple don't terminate and keep trying for over 100000 times in less than thirty minutes. In the log file, I have over 100000 lines equally below and make the messages file huge.

| GraysonPeddi | 2010-Nov-12 12:34 pm A tomato firmware is Linux, then information technology uses iptables for firewalling.

Fail2ban must be a skilful pick for many people, just since it does not piece of work for Tomato plant router, I accept to observe other solutions. Why do yous recall you have to accept it at the router? Just put on your * box and it has the aforementioned effect. Yes, your router is still passing the packets, but they become the hint. |

In that location is a build of *1.eight with GV calls for OpenWrt, which is not available for dd-wrt/tomato nevertheless. But after reading some information of openwrt, information technology seems that it is not as piece of cake as lycopersicon esculentum/dd-wrt. |

| mazilo | 2010-Nov-thirteen 9:44 pm OpenWRT hasn't officially supported asterisk-1.8.10, still. However, there has been a patch uploaded to OpenWRT through this ticket #8132 which hasn't been committed yet. It looks like asterisk-1.viii.x compilation doesn't include the sound files. Then, don't enable the voicemail and sound packages unless you don't mind with the compilation errors. |

I came from the DD-WRT globe and and so switched to OpenWRT earth. I, as well, had that kind of thought. But, once I plunged myself into OpenWRT world, the learning curve was pretty shallow for me, YMMV. Two reasons made me to make up one's mind to motility to OpenWRT world. First, I can easily compile my ain SDK and firmware with selected packages from source codes. Thus, there is no need to install several different 3-rd party SDK packages to build firmware images for many different platforms, except to maintain a single source codes tree. Secondly, maintenance on a single source codes tree for OpenWRT to produce firmware images for many different platforms, i.e. FON2100 (Atheros 52xx), Fry's FR-54RTR (Atheros 71XX), Linksys WRT54GS (Broadcom 53XX), Netgear WGT634U (Broadcom 53XX), Seagate DockStar (Marvell ARM), etc., is made simpler with its Build Environments scripting utility. |
