Using OSSEC to detect attacks on an Asterisk box

Published on Mar 15, 2008 in , ,

This post is an echo on the previous post which describes how to configure snort to detect SIP attacks. This time we look at detecting attacks at the PBX’s end rather than by monitoring network traffic. OSSEC allows us to do just this - it is a host intrusion detection system that can do matching on log files and actively react to attack. By default OSSEC does not have support for Asterisk.…

This means that SIPVicious tools will soon be able to guess the name of the device. What’s important is that the tools will be able to maintain do this without sacrificing speed and efficiency.…

Password policies for PBX servers

Published on Dec 11, 2007 in ,

Password policies form an important part of computer security. Unfortunately a large number of VoIP PBX servers do not apply any policies when it comes to authentication. Because of the lack of such security mechanisms, bruteforce attacks are a viable way to attack PBX servers. Svcrack, which is part of the SIPVicious tool suite, demonstrates this. Of course, vendors and developers should be cautious when implementing features that can cause a denial of service.…

Published on Nov 29, 2007 in , ,

**The purpose of svcrack is very straightforward.This tool will launch a password guessing attack extensions on the SIP registrar.
