[Freeswitch-users] freeswitch hack

[Steven Ayre]

Not unusual at all, and not even clever... there are lots of bots that
just randomly search the net for IP addresses that're open to allowing
calls.

First, are you sure the profile is actually requiring authentication
(a simple packet trace will reveal that - the first INVITE should get
a 401 reply).

Second, do you have blind auth enabled, in which case it'd be
accepting any username/password?

Third, are they getting authenticated via an ACL or user CIDR?

Finally, is it possible that you're loading CDRs for calls which have
been rejected?
