Anti brute-force attacksΒΆ

IvozProvider ships a simple anti brute-force attack in KamUsers that bans sources after continuous SIP auth failures from same IP address.

It works like this:

  • On SIP failures (invalid user or invalid password cases only), a counter is increased:
  • Counter is increased on every failure.
  • When counter reaches 100, that specific source (user + domain + ip) is banned for 12 hours.

After 12 hours, source is accepted again and:

  • Counter starts counting again from 80.
  • If it reaches 100 again, it is banned for another 12 hours.

Tip

See Brute-force attacks for currently blocked sources.
