Hi all,
we all enjoy our FAIL2BAN and snippets of our Kamailio config when we see it successfully
fight off the "friendly-scanner", and multiple futile attempts to fool our
systems. But it got me thinking…
What is a sufficient level of security on our Kamailio machinery… ? Are we all just doing
whatever, or is the nature of the beast, that every setup is different?
Eventually while having a beer, we will end up in the discussion Kamailio is as good (and
even much better) as most of the commercially available SBCs. But, imho, that all depends
on the configuration.
There are a few good reads available, and on the security front I personally love Pike,
Topoh, Dnssec, Htable and recently I think I'm doing rather clever stuff with CNXCC…
And I do feel comfortable on my setups, them won't be hacked…
But do we have a-sort -of stake in the ground example configuration which we can consider
as being more than sufficiently secure? Some config where we can tick off all the known
security risks for SIP (as chapter 26 of rfc3261 gives a state of the art back in 2002) Or
would that be a nice idea for a micro project?
Grtz,
Davy
