figured out how to scan every asterisk for weak passwords or open
ports, and bang them real good. We need two things: a) disable in
sip.conf the reply for INVITES that have wrong user information, and
also, b) disable any response to any REGISTER packet altogether. Can
somebody please write  patch? Or should we go broke trying to stop the
flood of criminals coming from abroad?

Not looking for an argument here but you are asking for a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. If you'd done your job properly in the first place you'd have put some basic intrusion detection on such as fail2ban, OSSEC or just a basic bash script of your own writing. The solution is already there and it's not trying to bodge Asterisk into a firewall application. If you'd done that (and instructions on how to are literally all over the Internet and this mailing list) then your customer wouldn't be $50,000 down, you'd still have your full pay and you'd not be asking for people to break Asterisk's SIP implementation (even more :P ) in order to stop you having to do things the right way.

Sorry if the truth hurts...
