I've seen this attack at customer sites that were blocked at the firewall. The only way I was able to detect them was when I ran TraceBuster between the firewall and the router -- they jumped out pretty easily. Tracebuster is my new best friend. Can't go wrong for $99.

In my particular case, sip is only allowed in from specific IP addresses, and blocked on all others. It's maddening though because they screw up the broadband bandwidth that is available.


one of the reasons (from a security perspective) I like how FS decided to split up their public ports.

we use 5060 for sip (automated scanners are NOT doing NAPTR or SRV lookups!) they just hit port 5060. FS uses 5080. we use 5080 for trunking (and can firewall and rate limit it easily enough), FS uses 5060.

no, they won't stop real hackers, or SPIM, but will stop some of these automated scanners.

(there is a patch in SVN to allow trunking AND sip calls on port 5060. just like Askerisk does. I don't think I would apply that patch until I had one that allowed me to move the sip call public port)

just from a security perspective, moving trunking to 5060 and limiting it to just your ITSP and them moving public (sip calls, etc) to 5080 will stop ALL of these (for now) till they start scanning 5080, 5070, 5090, 5061, etc)
