Hi<br>
<br>
I have deployed Freeswiitch on windows 7 and since there is no fail2ban<br>
on windows, I was wondering what the real risk is with opening it up to<br>
the internet. If I was to ensure that all users and passwords were<br>
extremely difficult to guess (passwords like "2$53E_d7?^2!3s$"), what<br>
are the risks that I am exposing myself to? Is there a type of DoS for<br>
voip where hackers can just flood my system with requests simply to be<br>
malicious?<br>
<br>
There are VB windows scripts available that emulate what fail2ban does<br>
on Linux but I was just wondering whether I really need to implement<br>
this level of security if I can control the password complexity in<br>
Freeswitch.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
O<br>
<br>
