[App_rpt-users] SIP bots, hack attempts? - SSH also

Mon May 21 03:54:08 UTC 2012

222 is not a particularly common port for ssh.

The 'bots will scan all open ports for any thing that will respond to incoming TCP connections.
I really doesn't matter what port you bind ssh to, it will be found soon enough.

The best thing you could do to deal with brute force attacks is run fail2ban on the system.
It will shut down bad guys after a few failed login attempts.

> Been looking through the old forums and trying to get a handle on how to add  SIP extensions to my all-star box.  We are currently running acid distro on our repeater and using the allstarlink auto patch service.   I would like to be able to add a few sip extensions   so when i am on my cell phone i can connect to the repeater and listen or dial  my wife who is a ham on a different extension and ring her phone.   The extensions do not have to have  "outside access" for the auto patch as the extensions would be used for internal communication to and from the repeater or to and from other extensions i add .  Example  extension 123 (which would be a sip client) be able to dial 28079 which is the repeater.  or  a person on the repeater  be able to dial  extension 123 and have the sip client ring.  I have a static ip address so i know that won't be a problem,  just a little confused on how to add everything in the  config files.   Does anyone by  chance have a good working example
>  they could share?  I would try the other distro  but everyone like the web trans idea instead of using echo link  :)
