Thanks to fail2ban (with correct new “security” log and regex enabled on asterisk 1.8+ (they don’t try to register any more!)), I collect IP addresses of people attempting to hack/fraud SIP systems. I then block the closest, widest IP subnet. I don’t care if I’m blocking a continent at a time. As and when my handful of external users report problems (overlap of bad/good IP addresses), I will correct, but for now my block list at the router looks like this. Fail2ban blocks using iptables on the Asterisk box itself, but I then kill connections and add to my Mikrotik address-list on the router, after whois’ing the IP and looking if the provider has a wider netblock – then I go for that, otherwise I go for what looks like a good fit the for culprit. Thankfully we also pay for fraud insurance. Ideally, the external handsets would have VPN clients inbuilt, but alas this is not the case. I have configured small mikrotiks to travel with the handset but this seems like a cumbersome offering.

To begin with, this list was called “PlusServer”, because the majority of attacks were coming from PlusServer AG. Next in line was RedStation.com. This killed off the most severe attacks, but since then I’ve had everything from Denmark to Palastine (twice) and Russia. Anyway here’s the list, from my Mikrotik address-list.
