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

Exactly.

If one's external access control is set correctly, you should basically
never see any outside attack traffic at your Asterisk box (you've see it in
the firewall logs instead).

Following the concept of "least privileges" is where you should start if
you have Asterisk attached to a SIP service you pay for.  If you have one
SIP provider, the only IP address (or IP pool/range) that should talk to
your Asterisk box from outside your firewall is exclusively the servers of
your SIP provider.  Everything else should be "dropped" (no response at
all).

Google "GRC Shields Up" and run that free port scanner to see what you have
open, closed or what they call "stealth" (dropped).  If a firewall is setup
correctly, port 5060 should appear "stealth" from any IP address other than
your service provider.

You can also Shodan yourself: "https://www.shodan.io/host{yourPublicIP}; -
but Shodan doesn't tell you whether the packets are dropped or rejected.
In general you want your public IP to only show services on Shodan that you
intend every random request to get access to - for example a public web
server on port 80 and 443.

It's a good idea to review these resources often (once a quarter, once a
month, once a week - your choice), especially after any software or
hardware changes on your network.  You may find something has been
misconfigured at installation, that you would need to address.

 Some is trying to read to determine if I have any polycom files just

 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 ?

Hi David, Tim,

Try to use Bail2Ban at last resort. Fail2Ban is a ractive approach, that
permit the traffinc AND ONLY BLOCK them after certain level triggered.


Use iptables to block the unused services faced to public networks like
Internet. And configure these services properly, so they listen only
selected interfaces and IPs, and not from 0.0.0.0

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

2017-04-21 Thread Tim S
Is that IP in your network or outside (I can ping it so I'm guessing it's
outside your network)?  Do you have a firewall between your asterisk box
and the internet?  Is there a WHITELIST of IP addresses that only allow
your provider's limited IP pool to connect to your asterisk box from
outside?

If you are getting TFTP requests hitting your Asterisk box, they are not
properly being filtered at your firewall - ftp and tftp are considered
insecure communication methods, that port (69 I think) should be closed on
your firewall unless you have a really good reason to have it opened (and
unless you run a public FTP site, THERE IS NO GOOD REASON).

Fail2Ban is a BLACKLIST method, blacklists are most effective after good
network hygiene is implemented, as you drastically limit the pool of
potential bad actors with a whitelist.

Best,

-Tim

Hi, Jerry,

I don't know what S.O. you have in the Server, but you can check the man
page (https://linux.die.net/man/8/in.tftpd) for tftpd and use the options
--address, so you can tell tftp from what interface/port this service
listen request.

>From the IP in your logs (69.64.57.18) the request came from a web hosting
provider (http://www.heg.com/). So, the request came from Internet, so your
server listen TFTP request from outside, what is bad.

You can use iptables in any Linux distro to block incoming TFTP traffic.
TFTP is a UDP protocol at port 69.

Example:

/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p udp --destination-port 69 -j DROP

Change eth0 to the correct name of your public internet server interface.

This is old news. They use Shodan and then try to connect. Set up Fail2Ban
that say after 10 404's to ban the IP.

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.

Re: [asterisk-users] Hack

2013-10-22 Thread Maximilian Grobecker
Hi John,

do you have a line in your sip.conf saying match_auth_username=yes ?
It needs to be in the general context or (I think) inside the peer
configuration.

I need to use this with user based auth, don't know if it's mandatory
for IP based auth also.


Greetings,

Max

Did the IP show under sip show peer xxx? If it's realtime it's possible to set 
it and need to prune it / sip reload.

Any chance your sip peer was configured like this?

[accountname]
host=10.9.8.7



Without seeing your settings it's quite difficult to come up with 
accurate possibilities of what happened.


The above example will allow *all* ip addresses with no password!. 
Because there is no permit+deny (you need to use both)

[asterisk-users] Hack

2013-10-17 Thread John T. Bittner
Today I was hacked but caught it very quickly. This is the weird part, they 
hacked an IP Auth based account by simply knowing the account name.

How is this possible? I am running Asterisk 11.5.0. Now it's my fault I used a 
dictionary based account name but how did they bypass the set ip I had under 
the account for this host.

This also happened with fail2ban running and I pay for Humbug . Nothing caught 
it. Its just chance that I happen to be in the CLI and noticed it.
In a span of 30 minutes they had made over $200 worth of calls all to the same 
number .

Anyone have any idea on this and any ideas on preventing this.

[Asterisk-Users] Hack to make * - (H323) - CCM - IOS GW work

2004-07-24 Thread Chris Luke
The hack below is for OpenH323, not Asterisk. This is not an Asterisk
problem AFAICT. I am posting it here so that any other Asterisk user with a
similar problem might benefit from it. I may or may not post it to an
OpenH323 list, but since both variants of the H.323 channel in Asterisk
use non-current OpenH323 versions, it may not be of any benefit to anyone
anytime soon if I went that route! I've not checked newer OpenH323 source
to see if the hack below can be shifted into the application either.


I've been messing with the companys CCM PBX, which has an IOS based gateway
box with a PRI behind it, and talking to it from my * box with H.323.
For the most part it works. It's in Lonodn UK, I'm (currently) in Boston,
MA, USA. It's all VPNed. People being able to call me has made working
remotely that much easier.

However, placing outgoing calls that went via the GW had issues - if they
weren't answered within a few milliseconds of ringing, then the call would
fail - sometimes you'd get one way audio, sometimes none at all, and the
GW or the CCM always sent a RELEASE within a few seconds, even if not
answered. If you answered the call quckly, within ms of ringing, the call
worked fine.

Any other call (ie, that didn't use the PSTN gateway for outgoing calls)
would work fine too, which was the most baffling. Even incoming via the
PSTN gateway were fine.

The chan_h323 in CVS and chan_oh323 both exhibited the same behaviour.

I'd come accross a number of message in Mantis, this lists archives and
by googling in general suggesting that H.323 via CCM Cisco GWs and
other combinations of Cisco and H.323 don't work, have less functionality,
need faststart, needs faststart disabled, needs other things doing to it
and generally won't be fixed without money, etc etc. 

So I spent some time pouring over traces, and noticed one difference between
calls that were answered unreasonably quickly and those not. After the
call has been setup and the H.323 neighbors have exchanged their
capabilities, a few tens of ms pass, and then the CCM sends an
openlogicalchannel, so it can pass the audio of the ringing. However,
when answered, the CCM/GW doesn't send back any open message indicating
its RTP address/port.

If you answer it early - the channel messages work as expected in both
directions, and thus it works.

So I hunted down an option to make the CCM not do this. And (eventually)
came across mediaWaitForConnect in the OpenH323 source. It's not something
you can change easily from client applications that I can see, but doing
this:

--- h323.cxx.old2004-07-23 16:04:45.109780688 -0400
+++ h323.cxx2004-07-23 16:04:49.577950415 -0400
@@ -2797,6 +2797,8 @@
   if (hasVideoOrData)
 setupPDU.GetQ931().SetBearerCapabilities(Q931::TransferUnrestrictedDigital, 6);
 
+  setup.m_mediaWaitForConnect = TRUE;
+
   if (!OnSendSignalSetup(setupPDU))
 return EndedByNoAccept;
 
and rebuilding the OpenH323 libraries made my problem go away.
The CCM doesn't insist on trying to send me any audio until the call is
answered, and when answered the audio streams in both directions get
setup as expected. 

Hopefully someone here will point out an easy way to set this option from
ast_h323.cpp or something - while my C voodoo is strong, C++ is just foo
to me.

YMMV.

Cheers,
Chris.

I have setup chan_h323 to talk to CCM without any trouble, after someone 
informed me we had to override the External RTP object, which is part of 
cvs -head now.  I highly doubt the obsolete -stable has it.

Try again.

I'm running HEAD, dilligently updating at least once a day. It still
requires your overrided RTP object since the GW RTP endpoint is on a
different address.

It works with CCM without my hack, provided I don't try to place a call
that routes via the GW behind CCM. It could well be a tweakable on CCM
too, but I only have so much access to it and didn't find such a thing.

Basically, without this hack, or if the call is not answered ms after
it begins to ring, the CCM never ever sends me an openLogicalChannelAck,
which means I never get told to send my RTP to the GW. We send the
openLogicalChannel message - it doesn't get answered.

And in any case, there's no point the CCM/GW sending me ringing audio,
since rtp.c will ignore it until there's a far end RTP address to 
reciprocate to - and which h323 doesn't ask for until after it's
answered.

Chris.
