You can create and tweak another fail2ban rule specifically for this:

Hi all,

I am receiving hundreds of INVITE/minute and in the log I can see:

2014-06-04 13:52:30.189371 [WARNING] sofia_reg.c:1532 SIP auth challenge (REGISTER) on sofia profile 'internal' for [340@MyExternalIP] from ip 62.210.142.39

In the /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/freeswitch.conf file I have these lines:

failregex = \[WARNING\] sofia_reg.c:\d+ SIP auth failure \(REGISTER\) on sofia profile \'\w+\' for \[.*\] from ip <HOST>
            \[WARNING\] sofia_reg.c:\d+ SIP auth failure \(INVITE\) on sofia profile \'\w+\' for \[.*\] from ip <HOST>



You can see clearly that my logs contain failure word not "auth challange".

My question is : If I put "auth challange" in my /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/freeswitch.conf  will I block regular known and authenticated SIP clients ? If yes, could you help find the right regex to stop this kind of spammers ?

Thank you very much in advance.
