> I have deployed Freeswiitch on windows 7 and since there is no fail2ban

> extremely difficult to guess (passwords like "2$53E_d7?^2!3s$"), what
> are the risks that I am exposing myself to? Is there a type of DoS for
> voip where hackers can just flood my system with requests simply to be
> malicious?

> There are VB windows scripts available that emulate what fail2ban does
> on Linux but I was just wondering whether I really need to implement
> this level of security if I can control the password complexity in
> Freeswitch.
